Starting point is 00:00:00 In direct from the Bordel Comedy Club in Montreal, here is Mike Ward, under listening. Thank you very much everyone. Good evening! Welcome to MyCodeSous! Listen, I'm still sick this week because this week is 11 minutes since the other show. Thank you very much for being here. Thank you very much for being here. We have a big show for you tonight. Yann, how are you? I'm doing great. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:44 I'm in shape. I'm in good shape. I eat vegetables. Are you the kind of guy who really eats vegetables? No, not at all. I eat that, it makes me recipes. Otherwise, I'm always... Yeah, that's it. So when it's written, it's going to take a half hour of five minutes.
Starting point is 00:01:02 You're like, we're going to get the can out. Are you that kind of person? What kind of recipes do you make? I make a lot of Chinese pastries, lasagna, or a foodie. A little fancy! Yeah, yeah! I started to put eggs in my ramen...
Starting point is 00:01:30 Do you sometimes get hot dogs? Ahahah! I started to put eggs in my ramen... Oh yeah, yeah! We can see that you're becoming... I'm popping my game in the corner! Yeah, yeah! Chris, no! You're a 13 year old kid.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Ah, you see? Ah, it's good, ramen with eggs, soon you'll make real meals. No, but there are really cool recipes on TikTok that are made, you know. Oh yeah. That are quick to make. TikTok is the best place for recipes. Do you think so? For real? I only have recipes with cottage cheese.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Oh yes, the bread, the kind of bread with cottage cheese. Yes, like today I saw a recipe, it's onion slices, cottage cheese. Basically it's just cottage cheese and an onion. But it looks good I was looking at that and I was like I'm hungry yes yes that's it
Starting point is 00:02:36 I really like that all the time did you taste the bread and cheese not yet, I'll do it probably during the holidays. It's not bad. Yeah? It's a wrap... That's it, it's a wrap without gluten.
Starting point is 00:02:50 It's like a pineapple bread. It's a pineapple bread, but... Not pineapple. Not pineapple. It's not... Yeah, pineapple bread is like... Yeah, that's it. It's... No, it's a pineapple bread. It's not good for the bread.
Starting point is 00:03:10 It doesn't taste like bread, but it's a base for a pizza or a wrap if you don't want to eat bread. It's better than nothing. That's the slogan. Let's say you're hesitating. I can rap with some Boston milk or something. You're better with that. But if you say, hey, I'll take a pita bread, I'll take a panna bread,
Starting point is 00:03:38 I'll take a tortilla. All real bread is better than that. Ok. So it's just like sexy thing, it's just cool. Well, it's not as sexy as that, I think. It's maybe me. No, but you know, it makes a mess of cottage cheese. I make bread, but at the same time, it's if you don't have the other things.
Starting point is 00:03:58 If you're caught going to the grocery store to buy your cottage cheese, do you buy a bread or nothing? No, but I think it's more for the people who pay attention to their line or... You know, yeah, that's it. It's lighter, what? Well, it's lighter than bread. You know, cottage cheese.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Have you ever noticed, everyone who makes diapes they pretend to love that cheese. It's... They call it cheese, but it's disgusting, it's horrible. It's white wine. Yes, yes, yes, that's it. It. C'est...ouais. Ah ouai. C'est le pre-come du lait. C'est épouvantable. Qu'est-ce que c'est dégueulasse. C'est dégueulasse. C'est dégueulasse.
Starting point is 00:04:53 J'ai le goût de revenir vegan juste pour ça. Ah oui. Hey, Yann, on commence tout ça. Yes, sir. C'est un podcast là. Je suis là vraiment là, à citer que ça va être un bon podcast, les gars. I'm really happy to have them. I thought Esti was a radio, but I was like, who is Esti who is TDAH to the point that he's like a past podcast, Esti. I have to listen to a radio show.
Starting point is 00:05:32 This week, you won't need your radio because we have a big show for you. Ladies and gentlemen, here is Pia Mettotte and Jean-François Mercier. P.A. Métotte et Jean-François Mercier! How are you? Thank you for being here. Thank you for being here. It's me who is close to the microbes. It's a big deal. I'm going to try not to kill you. Yeah, it's not... Oh no, don't worry. I don't want to kill you. Thank you for being here. It's a pleasure.
Starting point is 00:06:08 It's really cool that you're here. You both needed money. There's nothing like a 172 check to give you the taste of coming to Montreal. Absolutely. I didn't talk to you before, but I wanted to thank you. The end of my show is thanks to you. Did you see his last show? No.
Starting point is 00:06:34 His last show? Wait a minute, wait a minute. Is it Can, Grandeur Nature? No, the second one was the biggest one. What was it called? I don't remember the name. Fair le Beau. Fair le Beau. second one, how was it called? I don't remember the name. No, I don't remember. But the end, you know, since the beginning of my career, I always end things with a joke, and I go, alright, thank you very much!
Starting point is 00:06:55 And I go, and I was like, it's getting to the end that I thank people, but I didn't know how, and then when I saw it, I went to see it. I think it was the last one, the one before last. The last one at the old church. And then it ended. It was so touching. I'm not touched by it. But I was like, Chris, that's what I have to do. I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Instead of thinking about absolutely punching.
Starting point is 00:07:22 And I was so shocked. Oh gave you a hard time. Oh yeah! That's good! It's a tribute! I give you a tribute! Thank you! Wow! That touches me! Thank you! You're able to touch yourself! It seems like while traveling I thought, no, Ast no, we have to do this. Especially when you do this for 20 or 30 years, it's often the same people following you. I don't know if you have that, but every time I look at my audience,
Starting point is 00:07:58 at least, but the first time, before you realize you've aged, I was looking at my audience and I was like, Carlis, you're old! I was like, I'm old! Then I saw a mirror and I was like, Oh yeah, that's not bad! They didn't miss a spot! But there are more and more,
Starting point is 00:08:20 they're the only ones who have money to come and see shows. So, no, but it's true, there are a lot of people have money. White heads. Grey. Yeah, but it's not always a question of money. I think there's a culture to go see a show that knows they're starting again with something that...
Starting point is 00:08:36 while the young people are all on social media. Well, I have a business, do you... Making pizza with cottage cheese. Cottage cheese! I don't give a shit. But to see a live show... Every time I go see a show... Every time I go see a show...
Starting point is 00:09:00 Often... He's going to kill us, he's going to practice his thanksgiving. At least once a day, I have the feeling that, ah Chris, I would be better, I would be well at home. I would be well at home, but once I get into the room, I remember, ah yeah, you're so much better in our room with people. You know, we are a kind of people who need to be in a gang. And a show of the dead, even if a special on Netflix or TV is good,
Starting point is 00:09:31 you're alone in your living room. So if you laugh more than three times alone in your living room, you're a psychopath. You're really too much. But for real, you know, let's, when you watch a real show of humor, that you've seen live, that you've laughed 60 times, you watch it on TV, and you're like, hmm, that's good, hmm, oh, what a good gag. You laugh once for real, but that's it,
Starting point is 00:10:00 humor is made to be live. Do you guys do that at 7.30 to start to get drunk? Listen, I do that at 7.30, when you start to get drunk? Listen, I wake up at 4.30, 5.00, so it's for sure that at 7.30... No, but 7.30 just before the show, someone told me, it was like cell phone memory, your body knows it's going to be tough in the flight. Oh yeah? So at 7.30, you start to get drunk. It's like in the hockey rooms too, it gets drunk before a match. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 00:10:23 Yeah, but at 7.30, I was always on the edge of saying, Oh, we're not doing this. I'm going home tonight, I'm going to sleep too. Until 8 o'clock, we go in. And you, after your show, are you full, full, full of energy until 2 a.m.? Or right after your show, you can go to bed? No, I'm full of energy, a good boot. The adrenaline is long, it goes down. I can go to bed. No, I'm full of energy, a good boot. Adrena is a long time, she's lost weight.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I can go to bed. Oh yeah? You lost your fire. I'm getting old. Maybe it's also that you get up at 4.30 and do push-ups until noon. You should run at 6. Maybe if I had my day to watch Netflix's menu at 4 o'clock. You're in shape but you don't have life. It's true, beautiful projects like making bread during the time of the Fates.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And then, your thing is that, you're on the verge of leaving? I made a special quad. I have a number that lasts an hour. I wanted to do it conceptually, and it could last longer than that. A long line? Yes, but when you do that, you make changes, you have everything to learn. It's not easy to getarn. It's... it's not easy. You know, let's say you're at number 10 minutes, you know, you say, oh, I changed it, I didn't like it, you scrap, you go back to other things. But in an hour, you say, oh yeah, it doesn't work anymore, it's, oh, nothing again, oh yeah, huh? And relearning, you know, it's...
Starting point is 00:11:56 that's it, you know, and you can't go and test that anywhere, you know? Oh yeah. You know, and it's... it's hard also to learn from what, and to do... oh, and after having testing it, I'm going to change everything. It's like you don't have the taste. So you read, it's a big piece to drag. Do you regret having made this choice? No, because I wanted to try it. How do you clear the course? Do you regret it, Jean-François?
Starting point is 00:12:26 No, I don't regret it, but I have the energy to... Tell us about your youth. It's a bad challenge. One hour, a one-hour number. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. Yeah, that's it. The Nurembergian It's not the old man and the pool, I think. It's my boyfriend-girlfriend. Ok, nice. And he's super well done. You listen to him. I listened to him several times.
Starting point is 00:13:16 It's a show concept. There's no sentence that's there for nothing. And I said, Carlène, it's so fun to give yourself. I think people who listen to him don't see the difficulty of doing that. But you say, oh, Carl-Henry, there's an artistic challenge, it's tempting me to do that. So that's it. You'll be surprised, but it's not something that's that trendy. So...
Starting point is 00:13:40 And then you... When you say trendy, instead of saying, we're talking. You're more of a fashion baby. I don't care about that. Honestly. I don't write anything for that. It's much less complicated.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I write. Me neither. But you don't write anything for real? Nothing. As I mark. It's crazy. I don't understand that. If I don't have a foot in the void, I'm not good.
Starting point is 00:14:03 That's the thing. I put myself in danger, voluntarily. And it's fun anyway. Ok. You know, like the last show, we did it 350 times. But you also put yourself in danger when you write your stuff. Oh well, I take notes and then I look at it and I say ok, I know about where I'm going in there. Perfect, there are probably jokes that will come out tonight too. I'll try to get back to go in there. Perfect. There will probably be jokes that will come out in the evening too.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I'm going to try to get back to it for tomorrow. Do you ask your team to take notes of your improvs? No. Oh no, ok. I even ask my teams not to come and see me. No, but your sound guy... No, but I'm talking about your sound guy. Pierre follows me everywhere, he knows me.
Starting point is 00:14:44 And notes the things that have worked. Sometimes he sends me a text, I check the text. Hey, that was a joke, that was good, that was a joke, that was good. It's improvised stuff. Mark Gelina who does my staging, he came to see one of the last shows at Magog, and he told me where the show was actually. I had everything changed.
Starting point is 00:15:00 There was nothing left of what was at the beginning, at the end, there was nothing left of that. I need to change, otherwise I end up like Mr Nothing left from what I had at the beginning and at the end. I need to change. Otherwise, I fall like... I fall like Mr. Automatic Pilot. It's not very good. I'm a little bit like that too. And... When you do your recording,
Starting point is 00:15:14 if you're in the middle... I don't do my recording. Oh, it's true. You don't record anything. Why? Because... You said it at the beginning. You watch a recording on TV, you laugh three times.
Starting point is 00:15:24 But when you die, you don't want your kids to see that. No, I'm sorry, with my pictures from last year, I imagine things from 20 years ago. Yeah, yeah. No, I don't cap, and I think that, you know, let's say we capture it, I don't know, in Quebec, and it's a guy in Metabet-Chouane who listens to it, well, he won't feel like, you know, because I'm going to do, no, that's it, I don't like that. Okay. Well, the impression being on the balcony.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yes. No, so that's not why I don't cap. I didn't cap the first or the second. It also allows me to save numbers for gala. So I work less hard. And also, you can do... Nantel told me that. Nantel, there's a joke, and I don't know which joke it is,
Starting point is 00:16:02 that he put back in all of his shows. So he's doing the same joke crisis again, and he says nobody notices. The people who come to see me don't notice, the journalists don't notice, nobody notices. It's been a while since you've told me that. It's easy to put up a show if you have half of the jokes you've already done. Oh, are you thinking?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Stop capturing that! No, I was wondering what the joke was. Yeah, I was wondering and he said, You'll see it. Chris thinks I'm memorizing his shows. I saw three of his shows. And every time, maybe he doesn't do it anymore, so it's just me who has a lot of ananesthesia. Who listens too much and who takes a lot.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Chris listens, it's crazy. He listens, he closes his eyes. I thought it was funny. Was it a good joke? He didn't tell me the joke. It must be good. You don't bring a joke. As a writer, there's a sketch I sold five times. It never went on air.
Starting point is 00:17:12 It was called Crémation Express. There was a mascot, a necrophile. It was a kind of ad. Crémation Express. We destroy death, we rape death so quickly. And it was a kind of ad, you know, on purpose, you know, we kill the dead, we rape the dead so fast. You know, anyway, you know, I had a bunch of things. We put a brooch in the ass in the coffin, and we turn around like that,
Starting point is 00:17:35 and they all eat the same way, by the glasses. Listen, it was... Wow. Who were you trying to sell that to? Listen, the first time... The first time, it was for the notary's room, and she was there. And first time it was for the Notaire's room, Pierre Desgarais. And everyone thought it was funny. Everyone was there.
Starting point is 00:17:50 And at some point, he came close to the broadcast. And he was like, Well, frankly, the mask, Nekrophile, who do you think you are? And then he was like, yeah, well, okay, take off the mask. But then you took everything off in there. You had specials, two for one, if you had two quarters, we lent it to you. If Grandmama had a goat... What's to get out of this? It's never been shot.
Starting point is 00:18:15 We're going to do it. It's never been shot. So you've been paid five times? Five times. They approved it, but never broadcast it. You know, you make a comment, you say, we'll try again, Nécrophile, cremation express. He laughs, he finds it funny.
Starting point is 00:18:37 He's a producer, he laughs, he says, well, let's see. It doesn't make any sense. It's funny, it's really funny. Really. You wrote for L'Égaré, for the notary public. Well, it was for the notary's room, but you know, L'Égaré had this gig. By the way, at one point, in the Saint-Lazare newspaper, you know, after the evening in Saint-Lazare, a young man came to me for an interview, and asked me what I was working on, and I said,
Starting point is 00:19:13 I was working on a sketch with Pierre Desgarais for the Notaire's Room. And in the newspaper, it was written, he wrote all the texts of Pierre Desgarais. And then I was like, oh, okay, Colin, do you call me to say that I was misled? No, but it's in the Saint-Lazare newspaper. Colin, we won't talk about it. Unless we make some...
Starting point is 00:19:35 Unless it's birds. Before the internet, you know, like, at the time, all this, but, you know, at the time, it's clear that the lego didn't see that. My mother, she made me poppies too. But you know, back then why did she say that? Because you said that! See, man, he's not going to say shit! Do you think your mother told the others, come on, madam, that... He wrote STAT, he wrote indefendable, he wrote everything. No, but you see, the bulls, that's life too. He wrote about life.
Starting point is 00:20:20 My mother sometimes gets wrong. Is she okay? She's fine. She's okay. She's okay. She's 25 years older than me. That's good. But it's funny that she thinks you're writing stuff that you're writing. Either you lied to her so she'd like it more.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Listen, the bougons... My mother doesn't like what I'm writing. And the bougons... You know, my mother doesn't like what I'm writing. And the bougons, she had made... I... You'll find that funny, but I really liked that. Well, it's very, very, very light. We can hear each other. It denounces nothing, but... There's another one! It denounces nothing, the bougons!
Starting point is 00:20:58 She came to see me on the show, it was like the 13th time. And you know, sometimes my mother buys her tickets. I said, no, mom, it's fine, I can invite you. If you want to come see the show, she said, well, if you invite everyone, you'll never make money. I said, yeah, OK. And then you'll drive her back to your Audi afterwards? No, I'm in the city. I'm in Kia. Kia?
Starting point is 00:21:22 Yeah, I'm in Kia. You're in Kia? Yeah, yeah. My God. You're in KIA? My God! You haven't been paid in the last two years. Do you still have your big cabin on the island? I have a big cabin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll see you there. Your small modest house of 22 bedrooms
Starting point is 00:21:43 with a view on the river, with tunnels in the basement. When girls find dead girls' bodies, it's uncomfortable. It's like a big house at the moment. Just you can smell it. It surprises me. Do you still have these amazing cars. I have a little Audi too. Ok, ok, ok!
Starting point is 00:22:13 So you just have a Takia just to say you have a Kia. Sometimes you get a Takia to say, Hey, I'm like you guys! Thank you! You're like in the movie, The Roadside Man, there was a Mercedes hidden in the barn, but it was only a walk with an old car so that no one would think that... I told Pat Groot
Starting point is 00:22:37 that there was a Maxima Nissan I said, that's what you buy when you have money but you don't want to have too much fresh air That's what I find sick by country singers You can buy it when you have money, but you don't want to look too fresh. That's what I find crazy about country singers. Let's say that in music, country singers are the ones who make the most money, more albums. And they go on tour. But it's all about the tunes, about their... The pick-up.
Starting point is 00:23:03 The pick-up, their Silverado. And I was like, hey, maybe you have a Silverado, but you earn $600,000 per night. I think his Silverado is pretty new to not stall. There's this culture in country, the pick-up, you know. Oh yeah. But most country singers never flatten a leader of their city. Ha ha ha! No, but it's true. But that's why...
Starting point is 00:23:31 It's a good sign. Well, yeah. But that's why they're called cowboys and not cheffboys. No, but I don't... No, but in the sense that they're not cheffboys. I can't believe a country singer who's about to plant a goat. Hey, I'm a guy from the people. That doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:23:50 No, but you know, when you come from Massacouche, you don't have a farm with you know. So, but Chris, what the fuck, country doesn't make any sense. Festivals, we do a lot in the summer. And country, country nights, it's crazy how it comes. You have a good voice and a good face. A good voice, that's the first time I hear that. No, you have a beautiful voice. By the way, are we the trio with the most beautiful voices in the world?
Starting point is 00:24:15 No, but when we... Oh yeah, you include me. Oh yeah, I don't know why. When we talk, we fake the three of us, but to sing, you include me. Oh yeah, I don't know why. When we talk, we're wrong, but to sing, you sing. Yeah, I like to sing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I like that. And in the summer, I'm touring with my band,
Starting point is 00:24:32 and we're walking around everywhere. You know, in the summer, I don't do humor. I don't even do festivals, I don't do anything. I walk around with my band, and I have fun. And how many of you are in the band? We are seven. We are seven, but it's the same formula as the Porn Flakes. We invite guests with us.
Starting point is 00:24:48 So, Jonas, Martin Deschamps, Marjo. We have done the botanical of singers and singers. But we do big rock from the 70's to 2000's. Kiss, and a lot of stuff. Foo Fighters. It's in Tabaro, but I have some hostiles with me. Even sometimes, I don't even hide it. Sometimes I look left and right and I tell myself,
Starting point is 00:25:08 fuck, I'm playing with them. Sometimes I close my sound and I pretend I was playing and I don't even play. Just because I... My nephew Matthew does like, it's going to be yours, so put your sound on. I put my sound on. It's so sick that you forget to turn it on
Starting point is 00:25:24 and we're going to do a solo. There's nothing and it's just us who are like... No, it's so nice to do things in groups. You know, we're always alone. We always do things alone. So, you know, to walk around in groups and do shows in groups, that's fun. I like that. Yeah, I think that's the reason why I always liked to have first games.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And you see, from the beginning I only had one. Who is it? It's a mix of... You don't remember his name? A mix? It's a mix of Richard Sande. It's a mix of German and... Richard Sande and Zephyr?
Starting point is 00:25:59 No, no. Sometimes it's Perrids, sometimes it's Preach, sometimes it's Pantalis. They're all P's? Yes, all of them are P's. But I'd like to go back to two first parts. Two first parts? How long do you do it? I do it for 11 minutes. I do my tides. I take the check and I take off.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I come back and I ask who I'm talking to for the money. No, I do one hour and I take off the 5. I arrive and I ask, who am I talking to for money? No, no, I do 1 hour and 15 minutes. I remember that 1 hour and 15 minutes is there, I'm at my best. There are some who are able to do longer than that. I remember, there are evenings, let's say I do 6 hours less than in the evening, and then I look at the time and I say, I did 1 hour and 28 minutes. The next day I cut 10 minutes and it comes back in 1000 times more. I have to do 90 minutes in the end, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:26:52 But I don't have a first game. I go in, I do 90, I go after. Don't you find it hard to get there dry? I get there, the clothes are warm, the weather is hot. If I'm not in shape and I'm not good one night, it's my fault. But if my first game is average. You just reminded me of an anecdote. What?
Starting point is 00:27:11 With you. Which one? We did the 3X show. Yes. There's a show after that, so we have an hour. We're four. Was it you two who had Max LeBlanc too? Yes, Max was there.
Starting point is 00:27:26 You were the one who opened the door. You were like, «Damn it, the boys are on fire!» It's been an hour since you... It's been an hour. In that moment, I had no judgement. I had no judgement. «It's not possible, we're going to get through this» «No, we're going to get through this»
Starting point is 00:27:42 So, the thing was just you and the others that you did. But we did a little video before. So we were in the video. Martin-Philippe too. Yeah, Martin-Philippe. Oh, it's the fault. Hey, wait, you're talking about memories. Do you remember when we opened the Clube L'Orage?
Starting point is 00:27:59 Ah, yes, I talked about it. The exchange thing. Yeah, yeah. And we did some jokes. Why did you make the opening? Wait, wait. The thing is, it was closed. There was a descent. Everyone was sitting down, putting things in front of them.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Everyone was sent to prison. And finally, they judged that there was a right. If you don't put things in front of them, you're the one who loses. So, we're leaving. They're making the reopening. reopening and they're hiring Jeff and me. And who else? Max Leblanc. So we're going to do the reopening show of the L'Orage club.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Why would they hire comedians for an unchanged club? He's out of it, those people! Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he thought we were high and we were like, you're a tabarnak, you take a picture of a ass, but he's like, wow, a joke, great, thank you! There was a man who came to see us, Jeff and me, who wanted us to run his wife over,
Starting point is 00:28:58 and he to be behind a window and he to look at us. The other side, it didn't make sense, this show. It just didn't make any sense. It was next to the tulip. I, it's his wife that, it didn't make sense, this show. It just didn't make any sense. It was next to the tulip. I was his wife, and I thought it didn't make any sense, because all the rest... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and then he took off and then it was like, hey, I didn't know how to do that. It didn't make any sense. We went out and traumatized him. It was a geek of a meme. We were invited to the club. Yeah, we were invited to the club.
Starting point is 00:29:30 And we didn't go. We went to the tulip with Jeff. But a geek of a meme, it was in 2000, let's say, 4, 5... I was there. With that? Was it paying or was it correct? Damn, that's a good question.
Starting point is 00:29:50 No, I wasn't paying. We were going for the experience. But I noticed... I noticed often... Well, a little bit, when... Maybe less, but you know, you get invited to do the same thing, and you're like, what's going to happen, you know?
Starting point is 00:30:06 You know, you get invited to do the same thing. You're all dressed up. But you're all dressed up. But you're all dressed up. But you're all dressed up. But you're all dressed up. But for them, it must be disappointing. Let's say...
Starting point is 00:30:17 You're angry too. No, no, no, but it's not to insult you. But let's say you say, Chris, I dressed up, I shaved my head, my wife is pretty, I want her to be shaved by someone else. I'm going to shave someone else. Then you come in, and you have a show, and you're like, OK, all right.
Starting point is 00:30:36 You're like, OK, well, Chris, my head smells less good. If we're 68 years old, a 68-year-old pocket comes out of the shower with no means. So imagine after an hour of ha ha ha ha, it must be disgusting. Rubbing in the cotton of the clean armpits. I remember the first gag I did when I was on stage. I said to myself, I know that, club-sharing, but I said to myself, I like that, club exchanges, but I said, I like that, the principle of to fuck other women, but I do not go to mine. So I said to myself, I'm going to take a bitch, but since it's not me who's going to
Starting point is 00:31:17 fuck her, I'm going to take as much as possible, that it does not cost me too much. And I go into the club and I'm like, Kalis, they did everything like me! Oh my god, they didn't laugh at that! They insulted! They insulted the big guys, you know! Oh my god! They insulted the big guys! Kalis! So it wasn't paid, they didn't pay us Kalis! They insulted the big LEDs. Who would have thought...
Starting point is 00:31:46 It wasn't paid, they didn't pay us either. Who would have thought that LEDs didn't have a sense of humor? Hey, speaking of anecdotes, I have another anecdote. So you were the one who opened this show. So you had to follow this and that one who treats like my father. He comes and says, hey, look at my wife. What's your wife? You want to see her pregnant?
Starting point is 00:32:30 Yeah, yeah, that's it. No, no, it was weird. It was fucked up. It didn't try to make you grow up by a lady who's just capable of doing that. A lady who paralyzed a bar. Hey, but I had... That was a nice big show, you know. Not this one, but the 3X show. Yes, it was big. In the time, it was big.
Starting point is 00:33:01 It was full of all the evenings. Oh yes, that was... It was crazy. And it was mostly you in the evenings. It was crazy. And it was mostly girls coming. Yes, really. But you know, at this time, we would have some fun. You can afford a wild evening, but let's put a show concept at 4, where we're going wild, but really hard. You know, there was something... Were you born with Kathleen Rouleau? You know, not far from it, there's GHB.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I think it's a good one. I haven't done that in a long time. It's a good one. Oh, it's a GHB place? Well, it's not a place. What's it called? It's a party. It's GHB and Gore Hard Brutal. Oh, okay. That's wrong. So it's trash humor.
Starting point is 00:33:41 But I think the world likes it even more at this time. more trash. Mais moi je pense à... Tu sais, le monde aime ça encore plus à cette heure. Vu que tu sens que c'est comme l'interdit. Oui, il va être 5 ans en ce lit. Il va tu broyer après. Ouais mais Chris, tu check ça sur Netflix. Et tout, les choses sont de plus en plus rough. Ils vont loin, ils en tabarnak. Mais on est fris là.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Mais on est en train de revenir. Tu sais, il y a eu une passe. Netflix bouquait juste des humoristes très, très But we are coming back. There was a time when Netflix was booking very very clean comedians. There was still William. Yes, yes, yes. But now they are becoming more popular. And you see, I had a talk with someone from Netflix recently. He told me that we wanted to go more into humor, a little bit trash.
Starting point is 00:34:33 That's what this company is about. The Montreal people are too vulgar. They make no more vulgar. Then they put non-binary people in the city. It's been three humor for 3 weeks. And then they do... I don't want to see S.T. anymore. I don't know what term to use to treat non-binary people. But...
Starting point is 00:34:56 So they do more gay things. And then... They just listen to angry people. They listen to honesty, for example. That's the thing. At some point, it didn't make sense anymore. No, no. But in the US, there's the expression,
Starting point is 00:35:19 go woke, go broke. And there, the companions, the wise men, Chris Ogathe, Budweiser, who said, Hey, we're going to take someone. A trans. A trans that I never drank, you know, I'm not a beer fan. It's going to be her. And it wasn't even a spokesperson, but for a small campaign. And then, you know, you have to be...
Starting point is 00:35:37 The week after, you had Kid Rock who was shooting the machine gun in Bud Light's can. But you just have to be aware of who your audience is. Budweiser, we're talking about Bud. You're not going to look for people in cities, in LGBT bars. You're going to look for Redman's hostages. A singer-songwriter, right? Yes, yes. You're going to look for a millionaire who walks in Silverado. You know?
Starting point is 00:36:05 Hey, Ken Stetson. But it's better to serve on the side because it's complicated. You know, I've been doing radio for a year and I know how complicated it is. There are so many things you can't say. Do you have any meetings after radio shows? I don't go. OK. Oh, yeah. It's not true?
Starting point is 00:36:22 I'm waiting for the lawyer to call me. Okay. Oh, yeah. Is that for real? I'm waiting for the lawyer to call me. No, I'm not going to the meeting. It doesn't matter because I'm never happy. So I'm not going. You know, the director of the program sometimes talks to me. But otherwise, he doesn't leave me alone.
Starting point is 00:36:36 But you know, I know my limits too. It doesn't matter to me to play the game just to get my job. You know, I like to do what I do. So I do it within the limit of what I think. But you can't say anything anymore. I had a comment on the CRTC a while ago. It's not going to happen. Yeah, on Radio Saison, for example, you can't really talk about the CRTC.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Yeah, that's the beauty of the web. When Udea was after me, I told them they could eat my ass. Wow! It was... It was magnificent. I dreamt of that. I was looking for a place, we have friends in the Bordeaux area. We introduced you to three or four good women,
Starting point is 00:37:16 and then the dentist removed it, it cleans your kidneys. Yes. What makes me laugh, for example, is that I thought that conventional media had understood their mistake, but they look at the web and say, hey, the web works, we'll do it like the web, and then, Asti cracks the buttons in a wheel. He's still beeping, Asti. Look, it's not a good thing. It's true, he's beeping.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Yes, he's still beeping, Asti. I don't come from that. You're talking about the gala. The gala of's true, he's still beeping. I don't come from that. You're talking about the gala. The gala of the world, he's still beeping. And he doesn't beep in a fun way. Let's just say... You mute, you miss the gang, but it's not the end of the world. But they put... They do like...
Starting point is 00:38:02 Hey, that's gonna be funny. It's quack quack. In any, that's quack, quack. In any case, the quack of a guy, quack, quack. But no, it doesn't work. But just in humor, you do that. Would you like to do, yeah, a chance that we get out, it's not good French, Jean-Pierre Ferland. If I do, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Yeah, I'd like to hear a chance that we get, quack, quack. No, it's tough in here. But at the same time, it would be easy to look for death, for example, because they go around the corner. Whatever you say,
Starting point is 00:38:36 whatever you say, whenever you dare to take a position, it goes around the corner all the time. You know when we were doing the next stand-up with Louis and Veriana, Louis and I went to see the people in Belle to tell them, it would be fun if you let this show go a little bit. No, censor it and let the comedians be the comedians. They are there to prove it.
Starting point is 00:39:00 They come five minutes to try to make their way. Let them go as they want. No, you had to look at the texts all the time, and that doesn't work, and that doesn't work, and that doesn't work. And it's often your best gag that you do in this time. It's all the time, your best gag. When I was doing Laugh Without a Taboo, we were shooting for too long. The best show, okay, I'll stop you right away. According to me, in the last 10 years, and I already told you, it's the most essential show and the best show I've listened to in the last ten years.
Starting point is 00:39:28 It was that. Thank you. Really. There's a training effect. You hear, Barnard, what is that? It's the C of the show. It was the Z. It's normal, you didn't see it. It was the heart in the show.
Starting point is 00:39:41 When I was doing La Rire sans Tabou, often often had my returns from Zed the day before we recorded, and I still had an hour to learn. He told you the day before? Yes, I knew the day before. I was like, look, can you tell the network that I'm going to do the gag, because I learned it, and they'll cut it in editing. We shoot 20 minutes to keep 20, 25 minutes to keep 6 or 7 minutes. So it was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, often, people were like, huh, Chris, we didn't think it would be the same thing.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Well, yeah, it is. Well, we're going to keep it, finally. Well, it had to be the same thing. That's it. But that's the point of this show. You know, in addition, there's editing. It's called Santab Boo, you bastard? No, but that's...
Starting point is 00:40:27 Chris! Hey, that's funny. Call that laughing Santa Boo and they go... And they cut you, you can't say that. They don't talk about that. But listen, I lived it. After shows, often there were people who came. Nine beautiful evenings, the people who are there,
Starting point is 00:40:42 they found it funny and all. And there were people who came and said, I'm like out of this and why are you going to say that? Dégoliste. But that's it, you say, go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, why are you talking to me? I saw, I'm going to pay you back for the ticket. Oh, you didn't listen to anything.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Dégoliste, it's fine! Dégoliste, it's fine! I'm going to get you a hot dog! No, but I listened to all of your shows, and I saw that you had some solid pocky, and they laughed, and they were happy that you laughed at them, they were laughing their ass off, because there's never anyone who dares to make jokes like that,
Starting point is 00:41:18 and Tabarna, who felt concerned, and felt like he was in the game. And I thought it was great, really. The concept is pop- was popular in the sense that we spent three days in a cottage with them. You become friends with them. You limit them to themselves. When you're friends with someone, you can go a lot further than with strangers.
Starting point is 00:41:38 The fact that they are concerned about the subject, it comes to pay off get rid of the debt. And it's the others who complain. Yes, that's it. I'm always like that. Most of the time, yes, that's really it. They'll say, well, I'm a young woman, I have a child who is disabled, it's never the child who's crying.
Starting point is 00:42:12 But that's the... I should have done... I should have done your technique of saying No, no, it was my friend! It was my friend! Your relationship is good, right? Yeah, yeah. He was my friend. So, your next show is for when? No idea.
Starting point is 00:42:36 I don't know. So, you have your radio show, music, summer. Yes. And Heart of a Heart, at Uni TV. Do, and Heart of another Heart in Uni. Do you do bodybuilding well? I do a little, but not so much. I had to take a break because I had lost the fire. The last shows, the one you came to see, I was at my limit.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Who stays on fire? I find myself at the door. Yes, it regenerates well, but it's after that I tell myself, like, stick what I've done and blah blah blah. So as long as you lose the fire, it's been 30 years since I've done that, it didn't try to lose the fire. So I told myself, I have to do something else. I have to do something else. I have to do something else. I have to do something else.
Starting point is 00:43:14 It's me who burns and it's you who burns me. There's a little pebble that's going through here. So that's it, so I was on the radio and I'm doing the music, the tea, and I'm tripping and I see my daughter every night and weekends. And then I said, hey listen, she came to the world on the radio, I was doing music, I was tripping, I saw my daughter every night, and the weekends. She came to the world on August 1st, 2011, on August 6th I went on tour. Since she came to the world I've been on tour. So she came to the world in 2011, you met her last summer. She had a jump crisis.
Starting point is 00:43:42 That's the life of Maurice. That's the life of Maurice. That's the life of Maurice. I made a crisis that she's torturing me. She's torturing you? That must be weird. When you said that, you must have been disappointed. No, but the reason why children are more like their father is because of the time. So that the father doesn't have to be like, who who did you get? But it must be weird to see...
Starting point is 00:44:09 You think children would have foreseen that? No, but you know, nature is for that, that's for sure. You know that children often look more like their father than their mother, since you know it's hard to say, hey it's not me, it's not me the father, if he's in the same crisis as you. You think that children are more similar to their father than their mother? I think that children are more similar to their father. You think that I lose more than I want? No, but I often have children...
Starting point is 00:44:41 Anyway, I find... I'm finding... I'm finding it. No, okay. I'm maybe the only one to think that. Wait, wait, wait. We're finding examples. We're finding examples. Well, your daughter is here. Yeah, my daughter is here.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Yeah, that's true. I have a degree in statistics. If we look at the sample at 1, it's 100%. Oh, 100%. Okay. What are we doing with the things here? Yeah, cheers! I looked more like my dad.
Starting point is 00:45:10 It was empty 30 seconds ago. I know, I vomited in my vac. It's him, Mr. Pinch. No, it's him who brought it. Yeah, I know. But, you know, it must be who brought that. Yeah, that's for sure. But, yeah, is it... It must be destabilizing to see a little human that looks like you. Yeah, but it's especially when you don't know him.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I go to some indigenous Indian reserves in the north, and I find all the kids look like me, and yet... I didn't give anything. You're a sovereign? Yes, there are a lot of young people from the countryside. That's the fear of not drinking, man. There are a lot of young people from the countryside. When you don't drink, you're not worried.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Yeah, but I've never been so worried about having a spare beer. They're all mine. It's true that they look alike. It's true. When I was young... You don't even have any first impression traits. No, but when I was young, I had a round face before. And when I was young, I took pictures and I said, yeah, that could be.
Starting point is 00:46:25 I look a little bit like an Indigenous person. I was sure I was an Indigenous person because my mother was born on a reserve, so that's a good hint. But she wasn't an Indigenous person, but it was like the street. There was a street that wasn't indigenous. How can you be born on a reserve? Well, we don't say that on a reserve. It's a community. A community? We say it on a reserve! No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Without a taboo, the answers. Isn't it the community that lives on the reserve? Reserve is a word you use with a lot of reserves. Can we say the word reserve in the key, for example? Yes! Yes! I don't have to go to the community. I have a number. Oh yeah, I have a community. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:47:21 No, but that's it. No matter how you want to call it, my mother was born in the village Euron at the time. You know, Wendake. Oh, in Wendake. Wendake is not as much as the word that you have to be careful with when you say it. Because it's like, it's the city. Yeah, yeah, that's it. So there was a street that was all my mother's family. But I was telling myself...
Starting point is 00:47:48 The white hostages that divided the territory! So I was telling myself, I have a little... Trisomic? Yeah. So I was telling myself... Is that a community. It's a community. I'm from the community of Trizamé. So I did a test, and I'm 0. 0 at the moment.
Starting point is 00:48:19 0 at the moment. 0 at the moment. OK. Zero to one, zero to one... But it's mostly Irish, a lot of Portuguese, for one reason or another... It's escaping me. So... Ah, you made it sound like Ancestry! Yes, Irish, Portuguese, French, and... yes, that's all. Irish, French, Portuguese... It's something that makes you jealous,
Starting point is 00:48:46 hey, a citizenship. You know, it's just nonsense, this thing. Ireland, you know, how can you say that? Well, you know, like, the worst, when, there, I was like, you know, the Portuguese side, I was 50%
Starting point is 00:49:02 Well, let's say, you know, the English side, sides, if you add the two together, it's about 50%. French side was just 15% and the rest was all Portuguese. But Portugal and France, it joins together. So, finally, I think it was just French people. Like your mother, she was in Africa. Yeah, she was close to Portugal. But it's more...
Starting point is 00:49:35 But what's the difference between a French and a Portuguese genome? Well... It's true that... Sorry, we is there someone in the room who... There's a bio-living training. A bio-living training. Where the two peoples meet, it's exactly the same people, it's just the language. In five years, there's no one who's going to be straight. We're all going to live under reserves.
Starting point is 00:50:01 No, no. No, in the sense that you can't, you know can't do raster, no matter where you go in the world. It's for sure that all communities end up having a little bit of what you feel about others. There's something I like a lot. When you watch on YouTube, white people who do ancestry tests, when they learn that they are a little bit African, they are happy, suddenly they are happy, and they are like, 6% African, and they are a little african, they are happy, suddenly they are happy, and they are like, oh, you are 6% african, and they are happy, and then they realize,
Starting point is 00:50:30 my great-grandfather raped a slave, you know. And, you know, it's really that. We can say everything. We can say everything. The moral of the story. Have you ever done the test? No. Ok. No, but I would like that for example.
Starting point is 00:50:59 It intrigues me a little. But at the same time, I'm always a little suspicious of these things. Like you, you're Portuguese, Irish, etc. I received an email about a year later that said, Hey, we got it wrong, it was... Gorky. It was France. It was the south of France.
Starting point is 00:51:17 It's the fun that they did your conversation. For years, I saw Portuguese and I was like, yes, I had... I was living in Porto, in Quentin. There's not a scandal with that about Ancestry.com, because all the bosses have jumped, there's like... The bosses? Yes, all the cards... They took identical twins and they didn't get the same result. That's a mini scandal, though.
Starting point is 00:51:43 It doesn't mean that. 15% are identical twins who were born at the same time. That's what identical twins do. They are supposed to have the same signature. They come from the same place. It's the same father and the same mother. That's what they come from the same place. I rarely see twins in two mothers. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:00 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. They come from the same place, the same people, the same place. Yes, that's what they come from. twins in two mothers, I rarely saw that. They may not be born in the same country. Maybe that's it.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Maybe it's Africa, the other ones. Twins not in the same mother, that would be the real definition of being non-binary. If you were in the same sea, that would be the real definition of being non-binary. Hey Chris, you're in Montreal and you're in Quebec, it would work already! That's a good gag. Very good gag. We understand nothing. Very good gag. Very good gag. Excellent. Do you think that, let's say, when you play in Montreal, do you feel the audience is more woke? No, not really, because I talk about myself all the time.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I don't have big scandals in my show, nothing is provoking the crowd. But I admit that when I go play in Saint-Denis, I like that. When I go play in Saint-Denis, the like that. I like that, going to play at Saint-Denis. The world arrives at 8.25, sometimes 8.30, in Tabarnak, because they didn't have their bill at the restaurant. They didn't find parking, you know, and all that. And I can't go anywhere else. In Montreal, sometimes when you throw someone in the first row, let's say, anything you find to crush him.
Starting point is 00:53:21 And no, but it's because someone is too lazy in do it, you know, like Chris, you know... I was going to say, maybe you shouldn't have crossed him. No, but you know, Chris, sit down and shut up. But no, otherwise, no, everywhere it's going to be. But I like to do regions better. Regions are fun. Really. The North Coast, the Gaspésie, the Bittibie. The world is tripping and the world is hungry. What's your favorite room?
Starting point is 00:53:43 I'm... I never name it. I always say Albert Rousseau, since I'm in Quebec. Since that's where you do it more often. I do it all the time. But it's Gatineau. Oh yeah, me too. Gatineau, Asti de Salle. L'Occitane, it doesn't make any sense. Mine is Quebec.
Starting point is 00:54:04 And it's probably the city where I'm the most AI and the most loved. More AI? How so? Well, you know, in Quebec, when you get AI, there's AIists, but there's a gang that loves you, and those who love you, they shout loud too. But why are there AIists? Those who are AIists? Well, I don't know. You know, not everyone is AIist. But... I know it's hurtful. Especially in Quebec.
Starting point is 00:54:27 But I know why they don't love me. Even in the P.A. there are people who fight with their social networks. It's crazy. And we're nice. But you, Husty, aren't as hungry as... I'm a satanic. For example, I know why people don't like me. Why don't they like you?
Starting point is 00:54:50 Because they've been bad with a disabled person. It's all the time. That's exactly what I meant. They don't know why they don't like you. And they like you. You know, often, I... People often like me for bad reasons. I say, oh yeah, that's why you like me. Okay, okay. I'm less happy.
Starting point is 00:55:12 And they hate me for bad reasons too. Okay. Yeah, you're the same. And you say, no, no, no. You, if you were in my place, you would be the same. You project on me. You don't know me, you bastard. How can you know how I am?
Starting point is 00:55:24 Chris, hey, we're satanists! And the three of us, there's a lot of videos of us, you know... We're satanists. We're satanists on the side. I'm trying to be satanic by hating the disabled. It's only at the end of the week that I'm satanic. Me too. He's going to tell me something I never said last night.
Starting point is 00:55:49 OK. I'm in. During the pandemic, I was caught by a bunch of people. I was a collaboration, etc. Like all the others. Except that, at one point, it took proportions. Because I found it fun to answer them. Me too, at the beginning, I found it fun.
Starting point is 00:56:10 But I thought that since we were in a pandemic, we didn't do any shows. Well, it was practicing my distribution. So I installed a... It was some crowd work. Yeah, yeah, yeah, really. I was tripping. Except that by the end of the day, it went beyond the boundaries. I had death threats. Except that one year, it went beyond the borders. I had death threats.
Starting point is 00:56:26 We threatened to rape my daughter. A package of things arrived. I had to install cameras. It was a good war. Damn it! Damn it! Oh! You couldn't get out of your house at the time?
Starting point is 00:56:46 There were people waiting for you to get through? No, no, but me, during the pandemic, I didn't go out of my house because I was diabetic. You know, I told everyone, I was like, hey, you get vaccinated, you don't get vaccinated, I'm a catalyst. I'm diabetic, I'm going to get vaccinated. Yeah. I'm diabetic, I'm going to get vaccinated. If I didn't believe... Let's say, if they hadn't invented injections and insulin in 1920, I would be dead in 82. So I can't be a doctor's student! So I was like, look, if I die now, I'll have a 35-year bonus.
Starting point is 00:57:24 So no, that's it. But no, nobody wanted to kill me during the pandemic. Before that, I had fights. Before that, I had fights. And a guy who got arrested with a gun. Yeah, yeah. Me, at home, when it happened. The worst.
Starting point is 00:57:40 In such a mess, he was like, if there's a guy who wants to kill us, and I was like, hey, for real, someone who wants to kill you, for real, he's not threatening you on Facebook. If I want to kill someone, I'm going to surprise him. Maybe someone... It doesn't take a sniper to...
Starting point is 00:57:59 No, that's it. You know, I'm joking. You just... Okay, everyone knows I live in the old Longueuil. Wait at S.A.Q. Park yourself in the parking lot of Place Longueuil. Wait one day. My plan is done. I'll stick you on a caramel in the bottom of the alley. I'm so easy to kill. The big Krispy Kreme.
Starting point is 00:58:28 So, no, that's it. I've never been afraid of death threats. Because, for real, when you think about it, someone who says, I'm going to kill... There was someone waiting for you in front of your house, you can't leave your house. I know, I let myself live in my reality. It's a triceler, a triceler in to leave your home. I know, I'm letting myself live in my reality.
Starting point is 00:58:46 It's a quick triceler in front of your home. No, but in the meantime, that scared me. When Chris comes up to park in front of our house, he's like, OK, yeah, that's not normal. That's for a joke. But let's say in the 15th or 16th year, I never got scared. I never got scared. I got scared. I really got scared. I got scared.
Starting point is 00:59:05 I really got scared because at 4am I received a picture of my house in my house. I got scared. Two days later I received a picture of my daughter's school. And then I got scared. The guy who takes your picture of your house, if you send it by email, it's to say, Hey, I know where you are, but if he comes into your box, he knows where you are, he left it there. He wrote something in the back. He's a real jerk.
Starting point is 00:59:35 I know. But I was stressed for two days, I walked around with a hand in my hand for two days in the house, I had to put cameras in the size of the ground and the house, it was complicated. But one on the ground and the house, and it was really complicated. But one of the things that started that was the zoom we did, me, you and Fallu. Fallu.
Starting point is 00:59:53 You had to stop going to death everywhere if you had to. I think that when the pandemic happened, I was under-earned, I wanted it to continue, so we were doing a lot of live, When the pandemic came, I wanted it to continue. We were doing a lot of live shows before Matt Dove started his business. There were too many people listening, who shouldn't have listened. And we are human beings. I make jokes.
Starting point is 01:00:24 I don't realize that many people are making jokes. They're crazy. I'm going crazy with this. What did Fallu say? Is it Fallu or me? It's the three of us. We all said we were going to get vaccinated. We're collaborationists, we're the six of us, we're the three of you. The three of you, Steve. I'm going crazy with this. I went completely crazy. I was disappointed that the vaccine didn't taste like sperm.
Starting point is 01:00:52 I'm lucky you're a fucking dick. I went crazy with that. At some point, I became a psychopath. All those who came to harass me, I started doing research. I had stupids, stupids, I had nothing to do., I started doing I realized I had his name, his father's name, his mother's name, everything, where he went to school, where he lives, who he works for,
Starting point is 01:01:30 what was his change card? I had everything. Did you bring a picture of his house in his mother's box? Yeah. Oh no, but it was in my mind, man. I went crazy because I thought... Do you know what would have been even more scary? You put a picture of your house.
Starting point is 01:01:48 It's in this basement that you're going to be locked up for the next 20 years. Hey, but I was being treated so badly that I... Badly? Badly pedo. I don't know why. I need vodka. Why pedo Satanic? I don't know why Pedo Satanic, but I went crazy with that because he was treating me like a psycho. So I pushed the note to the maximum.
Starting point is 01:02:14 When Prime Video arrived and they said, hey Payon, we have a concept for you for Prime Video. Pedo and Satanic, Pedo makes me more pissed than Satanic. But I pushed it to the maximum. Pédopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedopedoped Everyone in their coats with masks. I said to them, man, it's going to be a pain in the ass. They're going to shit their pants. When I went to the priest's conference, I bought myself a shirt, some illuminati and a bag of freemasons on Amazon. Every picture I took, I made a triangle with my hands.
Starting point is 01:03:02 I went to the South, I arrived in the South, me and my daughter were doing stuff there. Man, I looked, looked, looked, looked, looked, at the end, at the end, at the end, at the end, at the end. There, he's calling me, it doesn't make sense because he knows that I'm a little bastard. But I, in the pedo thing this year, I saw something on a guy that I found very funny. He was doing a hidden camera show, trying to get into a satanic organization. And then he arrived, and everyone was like,
Starting point is 01:03:35 I'm satanic, I'm for evil. And he was like, I like to fuck satanic children. And then everyone was... The satanists were talking, you know? They were like... All satanists! No, no, but Chris, it's not cool.
Starting point is 01:03:51 If you're a child, you're going to say, No, no, but that's it, it's the evil, I'm going to fuck with it. No, no, it's not cool. So he got out of the satanists. Because the satanists... The satanists are made woke. You know? The satanist woke. Satanic because Satanic Satanics are made of Wokes. The Woke Assymphers of Satanic.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Satanic open to diversity. It's the LGBT Satanic. The Q plus is for the... LGBTQ is sex! You can't say that you're satanic, it means you're for the evil. There's nothing more evil than to fuck a child, I think. You should become the mother of satans. Motherfuckers! You know,
Starting point is 01:04:44 you tell me, you tell me a promotion, you should see, it should be, usually, 20$, you and me, it's gonna be 15$. Oh, that's so funny. But you too, it's like, everyone sending me hate, I always try to understand where they come from.
Starting point is 01:05:04 And even things like, you me, I'm diabetic. And you, you've been operated on in the heart. It would be absurd for a guy who's been operated on in the heart, who's like, I'm not getting vaccinated, fuck you, fuck you, it's faulty. Chris, if... I'm sorry, I'll kill him. It's your promotion for vaccines! Yes, but I saw, it's that, Eric Duhaime,
Starting point is 01:05:34 that a heart attack, half of the comments are like Ah, you got vaccinated. And I was like, hey, Chris, can you let a man having a heart attack? Yeah, that's his age. Oh yeah, that's it. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Well, that's it. You know, like if you're flirting with the anti-vaxxers, and then you teach them that you're vaccinated, and they learn it in a podcast, and then you have a heart attack. And... You know, I would have told you, don't have a heart attack. He did one, so that's it. I know I've seen a lot of comments. And often followers of him, people close to him,
Starting point is 01:06:15 people like, Tabarnak, we knew it, look, that's the proof that the vaccine had to be done. 20, 4 years. But the moral of the story should be, hey, Chris, live and let go. That's it. You don't want to be vaccinated, you're not vaccinated, don't piss me off. I'm not going to piss anyone off with that.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Do you have any questions? Yes sir, there are questions. Do you have any questions about the vaccine? Yes, I love it. The period of questions, a, how Oh, yes, I love that. The period of questions about, how do you say, the Pfizer. Pfizer! Who told you to illuminate your counter? That's it.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Illuminati, I have trouble saying illuminati. Illuminati. Simon asks, at PA, how did it happen that you end up on the radio? They called me. Ok, wait. Wait. It's complicated, not everyone understands the terms of the showbiz. No, that's it. I was in Quebec and you know, and sometimes I did replacements one day or two, I was everywhere, in all the radios.
Starting point is 01:07:27 And then, well, FM 93 did well, we needed someone. Did you do a lot of stations, let's say, in the 93 energy... But in Montreal too, you know, I replaced CQA, I replaced the 98.5. And then, well, that's it, at FM 93, I replaced Stéphane Dupont in the morning. And then he offered me something for two years, and it was just fine, because I finished my tour and I wanted to do something else. And being in Quebec, everything is still great in Quebec. Man, I'm so good in Quebec.
Starting point is 01:07:54 How old is your daughter? She's going to be 14. OK, so it's for sure that you stay in Quebec at least until she finishes school. Yes, but my goal is to work another ten years, then sell everything I have, and go to Gaspésie, and end my life there. Even your laundry. Even my laundry.
Starting point is 01:08:12 You're going to... Oh yeah, I want to go back to Gaspésie. I want to go back to Gaspésie, yeah. But are you really going to finish, or are you going to do it like a joke, and say, you know, Michel, not Alex, you know? I don't want you to end up saying, yes, I went out with Mariana, but... You know, you end up like...
Starting point is 01:08:34 You know, like Barrette, he always says, I don't do that anymore, I don't do that anymore, and he will continue until he dies. I don't know, I don't know. Because it started so young. I was sure, I had told Michel that he would come know. I think... Because it started so badly. I was sure. I told Michel to come back. Oh, it was clear. No, no, it's over. It's over because you have to do it.
Starting point is 01:08:52 You have pressure. But when you find yourself doing nothing, you'll go back to what you did before. And also, it's a pressure... You even have to move in the right direction. Yes, yes. But it's an absurd pressure. I think we're all getting there. Or do you think you have a certain... Well, it's not that absurd. When think. When we all get together, or when... It's not that absurd. When you announce, you'll come out with something.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Like me, I have to write it down. The dates are booked, we're selling them. Let's promote it! And if we want money, Jeff, we go on... Jean-François Mercier.com You're not innocent enough. You're not going to type my name. He's strong enough to get drunk. That's good promo.
Starting point is 01:09:28 If you want the beers... I'll throw you a beer and you kick me out. If you want beers, go to... Go to... Go to Google, you dickhead. Go to Google, you dickhead. Go to Google, you dickhead. Hey, nice guy, you want to pay for your beer? Hey, nice guy, it gives the taste of paying 50 cents, right?
Starting point is 01:09:47 But you know, me, me, up there... No, no, that's the promo, we're in the same boat. But up there, I was talking to Rich before the show, you know. And me, what really took me away from the pressure with this show, it's going to sound mean for all the influential influencers. But now there are plenty of influencers who fill rooms, they arrive, the world will see them,
Starting point is 01:10:14 they are not skilled on stage, but people are tripping, they are like, I can't believe I'm in the same room as him. And then when I was editing my show, I was like, Asti, if it's not good, people will be happy to be in the same room as me. You know, I'm a little bit of an influencer. I saw myself, I'm an Insta-babe, so I said to myself,
Starting point is 01:10:41 I'm going up to mameleon. I was thinking, let's put the world, and even if it's just the three of us, the age we have, the people who come to see us, it's people who love us, so they want our good. So when you get on stage, they hope it's good, but if it's a little less good, what happens?
Starting point is 01:11:05 If it's a little less good, they'll totally accept it and they'll be happy with it. And as soon as you realize that, you do something that's even better than what you would have done, because there's no stress, there's no pressure. When I was putting it on at the beginning, I kept telling everyone, it's not a real show, it's not a real show. And then one day it became a real show and I'm really happy a real show. It's not a real show. And one year it became a real show. And I'm really happy with my show. But it became a good show because I had no stress, no pressure. Because I was thinking, if people are...
Starting point is 01:11:34 They will be happy with me. And even to do with you, if people love you, when they will go to see you, if you're not, let's say, where you were the last show, they will be like, Christ, he looks happy, he looks like a child. He will read, he will... Yeah, let's say, where you were last show, he will be like, Chris, he looks happy, he looks like a child. He's evolved. Yeah, that's it. And then you go, you know, every show, every show, you know, don't want to, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:56 night after night, you get humiliated, you don't help me at all. But night after night, you know, you get humiliated, you get humili million, you get a million, and it will become a million. Your marketing course was done in Lucan? I did it in Lucan. That's it. And for your extra... Gummy Bear in the ass. It's... Marketing 101.
Starting point is 01:12:28 No, but it's true. We put too much pressure on ourselves. You know, one year I had heard... That's true, for example. When you want to write the gag that kills, there's never anything that you write that's good enough. You have to write it. Do you come alone to write that gag? The best... The gag, do you come alone? At the end of the day, you sit there, I tell him what was going on and bang. I'm so happy. You know, this week, I was sick during my shows, The gag, did you come alone? At the end of the day, you were sitting there, playing the game, and then you went.
Starting point is 01:12:45 I'm so happy. You know, this week, I was sick during my shows, and I improvised two gags that became like mini numbers. And I was happy. And yesterday, you know, people were like, what is this number? It was new. It wasn't there. And then I was like, I thought about it yesterday. I was so happy. But, you know, one year, I listened to the last show in Martin-Math. But you don't feel bad for the poor idiots who come to see you at the beginning.
Starting point is 01:13:16 No, but that's me. I'm doing a show. People come to see you in a show. You don't want them to sit and say, hey, the show is going to be hard. My rowing, we sold it here, and we called it embarrassing. So it was, at first, the show is embarrassing. Then I said, look, it's embarrassing,
Starting point is 01:13:36 it's bad what I do, it's going to be bad. And I told them when I sold my tickets, I said, hey, it's a bad show, so you can't buy a ticket for something that's embarrassing, that's bad, and do it. It wasn't up to the level. So there... It's simple.
Starting point is 01:13:51 After, I wanted to do embarrassing, semi embarrassing, not worse, correct, the evening of your life. And finally... So that's called humble. But... Modest, modest. It's the same. No, but it's called humble. But... Modest! It's the same. No, but it's called modest. Modest, yes.
Starting point is 01:14:09 But it's from a gag, you know, the modest guy, my decor is my head. From the top. You don't drag that everywhere. I drag it everywhere. I even brought it here. Yann, make him sad! No, no. But I had to... Not only did I drag him everywhere, I had to hire someone
Starting point is 01:14:32 to bring his head and I had to rent a truck to bring his head. So, you know, I have one more salad, one more hotel, one truck. So it's expensive. You know, for the eyes of the head. Yeah. One hotel, one truck. So it costs me... Let's say... A head's pleasure!
Starting point is 01:14:48 Oh! Where are your feet already? Jean-François Mercier.com But you know, it cost me a thousand more per show for that. That happened one year ago.
Starting point is 01:15:04 It was Michel who had the idea of the title. It always made me laugh at the world that pretend to be humble, but you know they aren't. When we were doing the under-evaluation at the Bell Centre, I said, Hey, my next show, why don't we launch it at the Bell Centre? And they called it, Stay Simple. And then we booked 6 Snoop Dogg, who did the first part. And then we put a budget of 500,000 dollars for Snoop Dogg. Pyrotechnics, me who goes down from the sky in a parachute.
Starting point is 01:15:43 And then we called it, Stay Simple. And And we call it that, it's simple. And Michel is like, it's better modest. I always have a name, modest. And I was like, modest, that's funny, that's funny. And then the idea of the Bell Centre came up, and Snoop Dogg was more than 500,000. And then... Then...
Starting point is 01:16:00 You could have taken a pathetic wax. Oh yeah. So now I have my mettle on stage. I always work with the same guy from almost the beginning. He's said to be modest, and he sends me a model. He's like, hey, what do you think about having a big sculpture crisis on stage. I didn't have a show to write yet, I didn't have anything. But I thought it was funny.
Starting point is 01:16:31 I thought it was funny to be on stage with a statue of me. I thought it was so stupid. Not a statue, it's your face. It's my face, but it's a big bust. It would have been funny if you were in a stroller like the Greek statues. A big stroller! A big headband, man! Mario Rockstein!
Starting point is 01:16:58 But that's it. The show was edited after the poster. It was so organic. It was so organic, so simple. I knew that the audience who would come to see the show would hope it would be good. I knew that Chris had enough talent for it. If it's not good, you get better, you get better, you get better. The first 30 nights, it's not super good, but you're happy to middle of it. And the first 30 nights aren't very good,
Starting point is 01:17:25 but you're happy to see a work in progress. And I've always had a theory. Let's say you're going to see, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's you'll be happy. You'll be like, it's a good show. If you want Burbeglia to go off, it gives you an anecdote. So I, who go off, I give a story to everyone in the room. I don't know if I'm generous with that. No, I don't like that. But I'm talented to live with that.
Starting point is 01:18:03 Seriously, I think you'll agree with me, it takes a lot of ego to get on stage. Because what you do is you tell people, OK, shut your mouths, listen to me, you're going to have an excellent night. When it works, you can't have a stronger feeling than that. But when it doesn't work, you can't feel more calm than that. Oh yeah, really, really.
Starting point is 01:18:27 But I think... My blonde told me a year ago that... I think that during a while... Alex, it's Stéphane Rousseau. Yes, Alex, it's Stéphane Rousseau. My producer. Madam, yes. It's my producer.
Starting point is 01:18:43 But she told me once that, you know, I... For a while... I was spitting on you. For a while, everyone in Quebec hated me. Then, I closed... I loved you. I loved you even better back then. Yes!
Starting point is 01:19:02 Before being a collabor collaboration, you know. But, you know, I had a time when so many people were getting vaccinated. I think your bone is diabetes, there's a big back and the vaccines. But, you know, so many people were getting vaccinated that, you know, it affected me. It's normal, tabarnak, everyone gets vaccinated everywhere you go. And even if it wasn't everyone, it it was at the beginning, 80% of the people. If it's everyone, it's good. When everyone pays, it's good.
Starting point is 01:19:30 But, you know, I, at one point, when it would come back, I did, I... For real, I'm getting pissed off. Someone who doesn't like me, I'm getting pissed off because I know what I want, I know who I am. And I have a brother, I often tell people that I don't like them. They say, I don't like you, what are you doing? I say, hey, the world is important, they like what I do. So, you know, it's arrogant, as it can't be. But I have real confidence because I had so many people who pissed me off
Starting point is 01:20:01 that it took real confidence to come back. So, now, I have a lot of confidence. That's it. Yes. I'm still in the mood that people don't like me anymore. Oh no, Christ. Everyone loves you. Stop it, not everyone. Everyone loves you, more than they hate me. Oh no, no, Christ, you... Everyone loves you. Stop it, not everyone. Everyone loves you, except those who hate you.
Starting point is 01:20:29 That's it. You need... No, but PA is more consensual. Yeah, but it's because... I think that's the biggest part of people. You know, one day, I told you, because, you know, we're all sensitive, so you take that, you take hate, and it hurts. But one day, you have to understand that these people don't know you. Since they don't know me, I turn around and go in.
Starting point is 01:21:01 Yeah! I don't know you! Go fuck yourself! I'll get them in. Yeah! I don't know you! Go fuck yourself! Hey! It's a good thing. You know, doing this job, you know, we fill rooms every night, we do two or three years of shooting, and Chris, we have one comment and it's playing on your face. Well yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:20 I'm not sure if Chris is full of it. I see it a little differently. In the same sense as you. Sometimes people are angry and they say, «Hey, you bastard, you did that!» And I say, «Stick it, it's a chance, I'm here for you, otherwise you wouldn't have a goal in your life, you bastard! I give you a reason to live, damn it!»
Starting point is 01:21:37 You should be committed like that. Me, in time, you know... Yes, I was important to you, bastard! Someone, a guy who wrote you, you know... Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes kisses him a little, he farts badly, and... When he says you've fartsed his wife, for example, Oh! Hey, Yann, do you have... Questions?
Starting point is 01:22:17 Yes. There's... Michael who asks... Michael is asking, no, it's Emil who is asking, we see you a lot on social networks currently, for JF, excuse me. For JF. I'm a little dead. It's not, it's fake accounts that it's called, it's not me, I don't care, well, well. Oh no, but anyway, he says, we see you more on social networks, like with Boilard. How do you see humor in these times? Oh, yeah, that's right. You're going to make yourself talk about your podcast with Boilard for two years. With Boilard? You didn't do it yourself? No, yes, I did it. I did it in Quebec.
Starting point is 01:22:58 You did it? But I heard you talk about it. I haven't seen it. You're not in it. Oh, well, he hasn't passed yet. Sometimes I organize myself all the time to tell you things that don't pass. But... Yeah, okay. I heard you talk this week, like, I don't know. You're drunk and it's interesting.
Starting point is 01:23:14 Oh yeah, yeah. It was pretty good. You put me in a safe place. I said, yeah, you're a scoundrel, you're a scoundrel. No, but you got good feedback. You're a scoundrel, I went to his social I don't know why, because I don't go there. You fucking asshole, you bastard! What did I tell you? I'm telling you, I don't know why, because I don't go there.
Starting point is 01:23:35 Is it the episode where the thumbnail is both in blackface? Is it? Maybe it's because of that. Maybe it's because of that. No, but that episode was good. For example, you probably got good feedback on that episode. Well, I'm not really into social media, and I'll explain why. I realized that when I wasn't on social media, I was happier than when I was on social media. So I'm not really going to see it. Sometimes it's my agent who says, it would be good to tell people you're still alive. That's it, he book me things and I say, oh yeah, okay, we're all going to go. I'm quite an old man now, walking his dogs.
Starting point is 01:24:29 That's pretty much the help of his day. You're a guy with a lot of opinions. When you started... Everyone has opinions! Ian, don't look for him! Don't look for him, you big merchant! No, he has opinions, he's in shape! He can jump right there!
Starting point is 01:24:49 No, but there are a lot of people who have known you with Belle's video and you know... That's not opinions! I want to get drunk with Belle, like everyone who had a cell phone with them in the past. Yeah, yeah, but you know, you're... I don't think I'm going to get along with you to go back to Novo. Who did you date? Who did you go with? Who did you go with? I went with Vidéotron. I was like, no, I don't need a seller, I'm here in Tabarnak.
Starting point is 01:25:14 I like it when you're like, hey, you're with Vidéotron, I'm at Vidéotron, I'm going to sell you a cell phone. It's like the guy from McDonald's is offering you a Big Mac while you're eating. Videotron is calling me! Hey sir, we have a great promotion for you. To thank you for your loyalty. We would give you an iPhone 13, and you say, I have a 15 Pro Max.
Starting point is 01:25:42 You offered a 13 recently? I bought it at Apple. Oh, great. Chris, did Fido call you to offer you a Blackberry? No. Great. Do you remember the mic? It was an old cell phone, like a CB.
Starting point is 01:26:02 A walkie talkie. How did Motorola do that? Oh yeah! Well, Yann, another photo. Another photo! Another one. Is J.F. participating again, on average, in a good deal,
Starting point is 01:26:18 in the bye bye? Well, it's hard to say no to the bye bye. It's not me who would say no, it's hard to say no to bye bye. It's not me who would say no, it's the others who don't want to see me. It's not... No, no, but we'll tell each other the truth. It's me, I would say bye bye all the time. But you've always been a guy who likes to make TV.
Starting point is 01:26:38 So, you know, bye bye is like the top of TV. Hey, did I count you? When I did... Listen, my agent told me, to laugh without a taboo, you're the one who's going to animate it, they'll make a meeting, you can be there as an observer.
Starting point is 01:26:54 If you're not there, it's not the end of the world. But if you want, the judge will be happy. With the programming director. I'm coming as an observer. I'm almost on the desk. I I'm a good observer. I'm almost at the desk. I'm the new animator. And she asks me questions.
Starting point is 01:27:11 And the tone is straight. And I'm like, how does she talk to the animators? And then, at the moment, I'm like, wait a minute, I'm going to get up and see. It looks like an interview. I might not look like myself. And then I realize I'm not hired. She passes me, do an interview with a job like that. I might not be well dressed. And now I understand that I'm not hired. She's Natalie Béreur.
Starting point is 01:27:28 No, not Stéphanie. Mélanie. Mélanie Béreur. I don't know Natalie, I don't know Stéphanie. So it's Mélanie. Mélanie. And... I don't know Mélanie.
Starting point is 01:27:44 Yes, you know Mélanie. Listen, listen to this. And then I said, OK, Tabarnak, that's so cool. And then Tabarnak, do we know you? Do you have any humor? Do you ever want to cut your business? And he's like, oh, yeah, I just... I said, hey, wait a minute, Melanie.
Starting point is 01:27:59 And I said, did you have any fun with Mike on Rose Bata? He said, yes, you bastard, what do you want? I said, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Mike doesn't want to do TV anymore. I would kill my mother to come back. I wouldn't piss you off, I was hired there. Oh, Chris! Your marketing is not my fault.
Starting point is 01:28:23 You know how all this pressure comes? Why? I was coming as an observer. Do you know how she must feel bad? If she hears that, someone like Mike Horn pissed me off so much I don't even remember her. Well, maybe when she didn't
Starting point is 01:28:40 talk to you directly either, they talk to the producer and ask for changes. But that's it, I did less. Listen, I don't want to... I want to make TV. In addition, I liked the concept. It's an excellent concept.
Starting point is 01:28:58 That's what humor should be. Honestly, I was jealous of that. You wouldn't have been jealous of the pay, for example. I don't care about the pay. I don't care, but it's shows you do. Your first TV experience, not your first, but you went from a talk show on TV to a show in Canal Z. So it's clear that it's not the same salary. No, no, that's it.
Starting point is 01:29:29 I was the king of V, then I went to Z. I went to the end of the alphabet and I saw it. Yeah, that's it. Yann, how many questions are left? There are be three. OK, perfect. I have one for you, Mike. Did you really try to book Snoop Dogg?
Starting point is 01:29:54 We found out his salary because... It's just to see... It was feasible. Yes, it was feasible. You know, these friends are facing the forest sometimes. What? These friends are facing the forest. But you know, we could pay 50 cents.
Starting point is 01:30:16 Not for Snoop Dogg. But we could pay... It's not about the price. Oh, the price is different, well, that's true. At first, we wouldn't have... Ok, well, at first, we couldn't have anyone. But, no, we were just informed from the people, you know,
Starting point is 01:30:39 people who worked with us, what it cost, and it was really expensive. It was like 500,000. Let's see! 500,000? Let's say, I was told, we don't put it on the list, 100,000. I was going to offer 100,000 US, it's good in Chris, not announced one evening, 10 minutes, in my head it's good, but he is worth 700 million, so 100,000, it's good. But him and Esty, he's worth $700 million. So $100,000, he's a complete idiot. And the fact that he wasn't announced, he's
Starting point is 01:31:11 turned an age where it's better to be announced and show that he's still in the game. If he's not announced, it's weird for who is able to pay for what he wants. So he would have made us a price for innocence. But I can see that. Come to the ice. Come to the ice! To the metropolis! With Snow! Snow Informer! Informer! Informer!
Starting point is 01:31:45 In Tabama. In the Boombay team. Snow, who was Canadian, he's a guy from Toronto, and he had a criminal record, so he couldn't go to the United States. So when he went to the States, he had to go to Hawaii to enter the country. So he left Toronto. Let's say they went to New York, which is a flight from Toronto to New York, but they did...
Starting point is 01:32:10 But you don't cross the American lines when you enter Hawaii? Yes, they crossed the lines, but they didn't check it. They're loose. They're loose in Hawaii. They're loose in Hawaii. Hawaii is a bit like their way to Roxanne, I guess. Yeah, that's it. It's just islands, it's hard to get out of there.
Starting point is 01:32:26 You get stuck. You're stuck there. And for real, with their lodging... It's like the island of Anticosti, but with mahalo. Yeah, that's it. I found it weird. I saw him telling this on TV in the past. I was like, you shouldn't tell this.
Starting point is 01:32:44 Otherwise, someone from the government will just call the people of Hawaii I saw that on TV in the past, and I thought, you shouldn't tell that, because otherwise someone from the government will just call the Is there or will there be a music album one day? No! No? No, but my thing is to play other people's music. I'm too embarrassed to do my tunes. Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:33:15 I don't know. But do you have any? Did you compose tunes? Well, yes, but nobody heard them. No. Even the tabloids? We did a show. Yeah, but I do other people's shows. Yeah, but I do yours too.
Starting point is 01:33:28 When we did shows in bars. Oh yeah, I was doing parodies, but I don't think so. My thing is to go play and be the worst in the gang. To be in the back and make people sing and play. I have fun doing that, but I don't think about an album. I don't think.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Anyway, there are a lot of things that can change, but I don't know what genre to do either. Did I do it in French or in English? I don't know. An album in sign language. What would you do? Would you be rock? Would you be country? Country with my boss. Would you, uh, rock? Would you be country? Country with my boss. Yeah, with my boss.
Starting point is 01:34:09 Well, uh... I fuck a gold! I fuck a gold! The album, I have an idea of an album. It's you and the boss. You both have feet in the same boots. You know? The boss, the feet in the same boots. The goat has its feet in the back of your boots. That way, it can't save itself.
Starting point is 01:34:34 I'll check the concept. I'd like to save rock, but it's not... I thought it was... I like the strings, you know, that are too soft. Life is always hard know, it's too soft. Life is always hard and it's not easy. And it's so hard that it hits my nerves. So no, it's something... Oh, so you can speak?
Starting point is 01:34:52 Yes. OK. Yes, I thought the guitar tones were a little soft. OK, OK. So it would fit. It would be... I like the real instruments too. So drums, guitars, bass, many things. So it would be... I like real instruments too.
Starting point is 01:35:05 Drum, guitar, many things. It would be... That's cool. Next question. Question for JF. Alain asks, What does JF remember from his political career? Will we ever see him again on a ballot box?
Starting point is 01:35:23 Oh yeah. I thought no, listen, I... I thought I had forgotten that. Not me, for example. Oh, that's for sure. But no... What's crazy is... You, you, the... That's when you started having hatred from the public,
Starting point is 01:35:35 and it really marked you, I feel. Oh no, it started way before that, but I didn't have that much hatred. I was going to say... That's what's crazy, it's... I was saying... That's what's crazy. I was sure I would go home. You were a dependent. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:35:51 But I was sure I would go home. Listen, people stopped me in the street, they put the baby in my arms. It was crazy. It was crazy. The cars stopped and they were like, Ah, right, they're voting for you and everything. I was like, «Ah, right! Let's vote for you!» And I was like, «What's going on?» How many were there?
Starting point is 01:36:08 I was third, for a guy who didn't campaign, it was still a big hit, and there were three So you're telling people not to vote? Well, I... Actually, it's not that you did that, but... You did nothing. Like the others. That's it. Like the others. That's it. You know, someone said, yeah, but...
Starting point is 01:36:35 If you're not in the party in power, you know... Your deputy does nothing. You say, oh no, well, if things happen in your age, I'm not saying that the deputy's office does nothing, but your deputy is useless. I said, oh no, if things happen in your age, I'm not saying that the deputy's office is useless, but your deputy is useless. You see, in Quebec, there was Henri-Arthur, who was an independent, but he was
Starting point is 01:36:54 running the case alone. He was never going to... He was going by bus. Yes, he was going by bus. But there was something you said a while ago, I don't remember where it was where, but you said you wanted to put a matla on the river to go between Montreal and the South River. Do you remember saying that?
Starting point is 01:37:18 No. OK. Do you remember saying that? No. Ok. There was another thing, you said that, you remember, when you were talking about... You were saying that there are a lot of people who are annoying... You know, the people who call their councilor and they say, «Fuck, I hear a train, a train!» And you were like, «Chris, when you buy a house, do the round, do the round!»
Starting point is 01:37:53 «And do the round, you fucking dickhead!» And then I was like, «Oh, yes, I'm getting it!» The people are like, «What are you going to tell the people who make our internet connection?» «The internet is slow, in Carignac, and the cultivators and everything. You're like, fuck it, what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do? You're going to roll some wires, you know? It's really...
Starting point is 01:38:13 The internet connection is slow, you know? What do you want me to do? You're going to crash on Playboy, you know? You don't have internet. Our poor cultivators, are breaking their base of speed. No, Chris! What are you going to do about it? Nothing, like the others.
Starting point is 01:38:43 Like the one who's going to read elect? He won't do anything either? Disgraceful. There's people, there's children who don't eat their food. What are you going to do about it, Mr. Mercier? What do you want me to do? You're a jerk. The health system is busy. What are you going to do? We're going to let him die like that. It's going to get messy, you're a jerk. You're the only one with this problem. You're going to die too high, you're a fucking idiot!
Starting point is 01:39:11 That's your slogan. You want solutions, you're going to shit on them. Oh, that's funny. What's funny? Even I was voting for you. Oh yeah. There's still quite a bit... Listen, at one point, it was in the pork time,
Starting point is 01:39:27 and I was storing pork chocolates for my little nieces, Jean Coutu, and then a guy came to see me and said... It made you so tender. He said, no, no, but... He said, Mr. Mercier, you're not proposing anything, why would I vote for you? I said, hey, you, you bastard, you didn't fall for it, it's good. You're a total bastard! Look't fall for the good one. You're a jerk, you're a jerk! Look at Chris, this guy.
Starting point is 01:39:49 Hey. People say, I'm in the street, what if I had to answer their stupid questions? Don't vote for me, jerk! Hey, I just... I just realized, you're the guy from TikTok who sells kitchens in 9099. Ah, it's Jean-Noël! Jean-Noël!
Starting point is 01:40:10 It's a guy from Quebec. It's a guy who sells armors, PTM or PLL. Anyway, it's a company from Quebec that makes armors, but the guy is too scared. He's angry. he's really angry. 1989! 1989! I want to see the big guy! I want to see the big guy!
Starting point is 01:40:34 He's funny, but he sells a little bit of his... He sells a little bit of his... But his prices are a lot cheaper than the others. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. And despite the dirty languages, he doesn't whiten money. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I have a question. Are there rooms you've barred because the service wasn't good? A room because the service wasn't good? The service wasn't good? Well, I'm not a good person.
Starting point is 01:41:13 The question is for Michel Richard. It's been a long time since... He doesn't know like Juki! The rooms... For real, in Quebec, we're so well treated. It makes no sense. There are rooms that I've been to. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 01:41:36 Well, yes. You've been to? Well, yes. And listen, the guy in time... I don't know, but you were there too. Oh! Hey, I'm going to take another vodka, please. Look at that! In Val d'Or, we play in the small room, which is kind of empty.
Starting point is 01:41:54 And you say, huh, but who's in the big room? I'm getting rid of the room that's empty. No, no, no, no. He says, who's in the big room? He says, there's nobody. And it's my guy from Éclairage who asks that to the broadcaster. He said, well, there's nobody in the crowd. Why don't we play in the crowd? He said, it doesn't sound bad. Mercier, you know.
Starting point is 01:42:11 He said, yeah. He said, because I make him come because people ask me. And when they ask me afterwards, I say, no, he came. He just sold his ticket. So it's not worth it to call him. Oh, I'll let you. So he says, me, Gauthier, when you say Gauthier, Mike Ward, Mercier, it will never play in my big room. Oh, that's why I made 3 nights. So now he's not there. Sold out of the 3 nights, 800 people each night. I'm happy to play everywhere, there's's no room I've been barred.
Starting point is 01:42:45 There are rooms that have barred me. In the past, Rimouski was the same. Rimouski didn't want me. I wanted to go to Rimouski, but he didn't want me. In the past, my first show... You're going to play in a bar, they're in Tabarnak, they want me to bar you. I just want to remind you that you've already beaten me up here. Well, I was with Spectre at the time, and I said, look, they don't want my show,
Starting point is 01:43:10 they're eating shit. Book the bar, there was a nice little bar in Rémoussou. Paul Etrillier? Yes, a nice place to do shows, and I said, hey, let's spot their lineup. One night, when a comedian is a little weak, we go the same night. You know, I don't want to be mean, but let's say... Yeah, let's say their line-up, one night with a weak humorist, we go the same night. You know, I don't want to be mean, but let's say... Yeah, let's say... We talk, we talk.
Starting point is 01:43:30 Julie Caron. So, you know, one night with Julie Caron, you put me... Oh, but, you know, with that... Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. But... So, I was like, you like it better, I... Bambara. So I...
Starting point is 01:43:47 I... If I have to name 60. But I... Let's put the three tenors. No, no, no. Diamond was selling, let's put the other two tenors. So... The three tenors, less Diamond.
Starting point is 01:44:04 The three tenors, minus Diamond. The three huge ones, minus Diamond. But I booked one night with them. You know they're going to kick ass. And we're going to hurt them. And my booker was like, No, I can't do that. And then I realized,
Starting point is 01:44:19 He can't do that because he's selling 60 artists. I can do that. So, at the end of my tour, we had booked an arena in the neighborhood, and I had done my show, and I managed to get into the crisis of the crowd. And the broadcaster was such a nasty man. So we did it, and now it's a new one, and it's super cool. So my story a long story. I do three Remuski nights and before they didn't take one night.
Starting point is 01:44:54 Yes, by one. Yann? Another question. I have the casino. Oh casino? Casino, I made a plan at the casino because I didn't want to... Casino, Charles Le a mistake at the casino because I didn't want to... Casino, Saint-Lévoix, in Montréal. You know, because I had...
Starting point is 01:45:07 I'm sure. ... the last few months of my tour. I had asked for either seats or round tables, but not The side, until everyone has a shot of it. And then, Asti, because the last time I was at the casino, it was the same, and they serve during the show, with the Asti machine that goes... So, at one point, there was a guy who came, he had his tray, he's going to serve at the table, which is directly next to the stage, and he puts his machine on my stage.
Starting point is 01:45:45 He got it in five minutes. I he puts his machine on my stage. He looked for it for about 5 minutes. I kicked him. I kicked him in the face. Really? Oh yeah. He's a little snitch. He didn't come to look for me. So he starts to go like this and I'm like... There's a show, woman of the earth. So... So...
Starting point is 01:46:01 So it's a little bit of a mess. You'll talk about it later. it's her who fixed it. Is that true? Did you have to call? Yes, because I had such a good time with that. The next time I went back, it was in the configuration I wanted, but it just wasn't working. The sugar cane tables, that's where it was pleasant. You know, the Club 1030 before was the same at the beginning. And it had no sense. What made me laugh at the club was that the show
Starting point is 01:46:28 didn't have to last too long. Because there was a party afterwards. There was a disco afterwards, but there was no crowd in the club. The disco was 10 o'clock. There were three guys with white pants dancing. It was Dum Paquet, François Mascotte. There were three guys with white pants dancing... It was Dum Paquet, François Mascotte...
Starting point is 01:46:56 So, is there only one question left? No, there isn't anymore. There isn't anymore? I can find you one. We were so bad that the last question, he took it. But the worst, that's a good punch-up. I said, we should end it there, but I'm sure there's one last. Alexandre asks, what are your meal prep to reach your shapes? Do you want to?
Starting point is 01:47:22 I'm going to start. I'm going to start. I'm going to start. I'm going to start. Ok. Chef Boyardee. I eat between lunch and 8pm, it's been 5 years and it's done. I do nothing but that. No abs, no diet, no brochage, I started eating between lunch and 8pm 5 years ago, I lost 120 pounds and I didn't take the weight back. Nothing but that. No no How she calls herself and how she weighs? It's... Very funny. I don't know her name but it's in the 200's.
