Starting point is 00:01:50 Thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you so much for being here! Good evening, happy new year! Happy new year, Yann! I say happy new year for two reasons. Bonne année, Yann. Je dis bonne année pour deux raisons. Un, c'est notre premier show de 2025. Et deux, je dis ça pour faire chier. François Moranci s'y écoute parce que... Je pense que je le dis à chaque année. François Moranci, que j'ai fait de la radio avec à l'époque, ça le fâchait quand le monde disait bonne année après le 2.
Starting point is 00:02:24 T'sais, mettons... T'sais, la radio started again on the 4th, you were like, Hey, François, Happy New Year! And he was like, We're back on the 4th! So it makes me laugh all the time, I haven't done it yet, since we're on the 10th, but back at the 27th, I'll send him an email. Just, Happy New Year year François. So if you meet, François will be in the street,
Starting point is 00:02:49 especially the people who aren't Patreon. When this episode will be released... ...in the month of May... ...he'll say, Hey, happy new year François! Yann, did you have a good time at the party? I had a great time at the party, yes. Really?
Starting point is 00:03:09 Yes, I spent a lot of time with my dog. Ok. I really spoiled him. It's your day, so if he wanted to play, I would play with him until he got tired. Did you do that on Christmas Day? Yes, on Christmas Day because my wake-up call was on the 26th. Otherwise, all the rest of the holidays were in the living room. It was the first time I did that, like, listening to movies all day in pajamas.
Starting point is 00:03:36 And your house is perfect. It's been a couple of years since you've been there. I have the impression that every time you invite me to your place, when you watch videos from your house, everything looks like it's coming to life. So I feel like you can relax more than you did back then. Yes, indeed. And it's the first time I imposed myself on rest.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I just did what I wanted. I did little TikTok lives, that was pretty much it. Okay, last time I saw you on TikTok, I left three comments and I went, You were eating soup. Yes! It was you who was eating soup. You were eating soup and you were talking about inviting people that you would like to see and that you wouldn't like to see. You were talking about inviting people to watch your videos. I listened to it for 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And I left the comment, I made Yann eat soup, it's a crisis of good TV. But why do you do that to 3 people? I have a kind of show, I do a show on TikTok, it's the TikTok show, and I'm the one who raves and reacts to TikTok videos. But what you got is lips that I don't do often, but sometimes I paint, and I talk to people at the same time. And I was just finishing a canvas,
Starting point is 00:04:54 and I was making myself some soup, and people wanted to keep on jazzing. So we kept on jazzing, but I started to like that TikTok. I like the platform. You see that you're comfortable when you eat soup. Oh yeah yeah. On the screen, if there's a meal that, TikTok, I like the platform. You see that you're at ease when you eat soup on the screen. If there's a meal that's not... You don't even want to eat that on the first eight dates
Starting point is 00:05:12 because you have disgusting air. And I'm not talking about you in general. You eat... You run everywhere. You look like an innocent person who doesn't know how to use the spoon. But it was good. And you, your holidays? Me, my holidays, I received, we received the 24th. It was the first time I received, well in my life I have already received,
Starting point is 00:05:39 but it was really fun. I really liked it. Then we went to Florida. And that's it. I had the best of both worlds. I had a Christmas with a lot of snow in Quebec. Then I went to watch hockey and football in Florida. Oh wow, that's cool. It was really cool. Did you see the bye bye?
Starting point is 00:06:00 Yeah, yeah. Were you angry? No, why? Did you like it? Because when I saw it, I was like, is that the kind of thing that Yann should be angry about? No, no, I thought it was good. The only thing is that Bye Bye,
Starting point is 00:06:16 I think the sketches are, they have a lot of good concepts, they have good jokes, but the sketches, it gets long. The sketches are too long. If I compare, let's say, Scram, the game of... And they do the sketch very well, and I love that format so much. So apart from the length, no, I liked that. What would have shocked me? No, I don't know, but it's that... It didn't shock me, but there's one thing.
Starting point is 00:06:39 When I saw the making of, it really struck me, the whole making of of Bye Bye, they kept talking about how they don't have a budget, and it's amazing how they have a budget. They have more budget than Saturday Night Live. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, one live from the universe, and the other one just to show us what they do with our tax crisis. And it gets funny. It's like, shut your mouths. Do the shows, we'll watch them, but don't show us how you spend. It's ridiculous, the money they put on it.
Starting point is 00:07:17 That's the reaction I wanted. You wanted to shock me, you shocked me. But for real, that's what I'm getting bored of? The pun! No, but almost! I'm getting bored of, you know, badly glued mustaches, badly made green screens. That's what we were saying during the holidays, I was listening to it with friends. And we saw in the show at Jean-René Dufort, there was Marc Labret with a bad wig on his chest.
Starting point is 00:07:51 And it was funny and it was funny. I like it when there's not too much budget. A show sketch, I don't like to see effects on the chest. And you know, put on a wig, take a blue screen, and put your money in a writer instead of a decor. It's true, you know, who has money, it takes jokes. And I don't want to, you know, he says it's his last year, but Simon, he doesn't have to be in all the sketches. You know... Well, okay. Do you agree, Yann?
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Alright, we have a big show for you. I'm really, really happy. I'm sure excited. I think it's his first time. Is it his first time? I don't even know who the guests are.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Okay, you don't even know who invited him. Ok, you don't even know? Are you that pissed off that you're coming in and you're like, ok, I think he's Mike Kachow. Ok. But yeah, that's it. It's always fun when I have someone new. But I wasn't sure if that's what's weird about listening to you. It's been so long since we've done it that sometimes I'm like,
Starting point is 00:09:08 I spoke to this person in the audience, but it was just in the lodge. This is the first time in the audience. I'm very, very happy. He's here with a guy who's doing a tour together right now, and he has an animal. It's rare that there's an animal. It's rare that we have an animal on stage. So ladies and gentlemen, here is J.F. Autiste, Maxime Martin and his dog.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Oh yes! Hurrah! Thank you for being here. Thank you for being here. Thank you for welcoming me. Hello. Your dog was already here, I think. Yes, when I came with my daughter during the pandemic. I think we already had 8 people. And 22 plexiglass. Yes, it was his birthday, but you were still a baby.
Starting point is 00:10:03 You're still a baby in my... ... in my...... in my...... in my... baby in my......in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my...
Starting point is 00:10:11 ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my...
Starting point is 00:10:19 ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my... ...in my......in my......in my......in my......in my... We started in Beauce, they suggested J.F. And we got there and... I was able to beat him, so I decided to come. Yeah. And it was a private show.
Starting point is 00:10:28 It was a former church, a show for the city. And in Beauce, it's a party. And they said it was going to start better in time. Which is never good news when it's drunk. Yeah. So we spent more time in the lodge than planned. Because the key to a first game is not just that it's not funny. You have to be able to endure it in your lodge.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Yeah, yeah. And it clicked. It was a kick in the ass. Is that a bad laugh? No, it's a laugh of someone who says, I think it's the opposite. Well, it's hard because we were in the house, and Pierre-Amino Rivard said, we're filming with you, it's the opposite, we have to endure you. And do you have, you know, like, you have to ask,
Starting point is 00:11:02 before it was just, hey, what kind of material are you doing? But now you're allergic to dogs. Yes. Do you ride the three in the same car? No. Well, Jeff lives in Quebec. Excuse me, I don't answer all of them. That's right.
Starting point is 00:11:15 You have the right answer. I live in Quebec. Exactly. And I think we're the first electric tour here. I converted them into electric cars. I managed to bring him with us. It was so long because it was our first meeting. He was there and we had to change cars.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I was a guy with an impulsive mind. I'm influenceable. He made me a pitch. He explained all the electric cars. A week later I had an EV6 because I wanted to be different from the others. What is the EV6? It's Kia. It's one of the best classed cars. It's the same car as my dad.
Starting point is 00:11:51 So sometimes he only has questions because he's quick with electric cars. He calls my dad and he's like, he's with D-Chum, it won't be long. I have Maxime Martin calling me and he's like, why? Because he's stupid. I'm going to try to help him. You're calling your father to do... Gilbert!
Starting point is 00:12:08 Where's the drive? He made me a pitch in front of us. Since winter, I don't know why, my air-conditioning turns on in winter. It's not normal. I call Gilbert and he tells me how to program. I need to be in your shoes in my life. I think we've known each other for a long time. But Gilbert, my man he's my long-distance co-pilot.
Starting point is 00:12:25 So you meet each other... Or is it... Let's say if the show is in Trois-Rivières, I'm aware that you don't warm up to Quebec to go shopping. No, I love it, but there are limits. But if you go to Saguenay, you'll meet in Quebec? No, but... You know, Jeff, there's a bit of...
Starting point is 00:12:44 I liked coming here last minute. I don't know if it was like me, but I spent, Jeff, I like to arrive at the last minute. I don't know if it's like me, but I spend too much time in the lodge. I like to spend too much time in the lodge. Really? Yes. Since the beginning? Yes. It takes me at least an hour.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It's the minimum. Oh, really? Yes. Otherwise, I'm not ready. Oh no, I'm half an hour, roughly. It sounds like I've put on make-up. I like to do it. It takes me an hour to be just like it. I like it.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It takes me an hour to be like it's our home here. It depends. Like in Gatineau or Quebec there's a couple of places in Quebec where the lodges are. You'd almost live there. But otherwise... I have an old habit of playing hockey. I arrive like 2 hours before the game.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I arrive 2 hours in the lodge. Do you take a shower before? No, I take a shower hours before the game, so I arrive 2 hours in the shower. Do you take a shower before? No, I don't take a shower, but if the shower is not super nice, I go in the car and I put on a film. So it doesn't look bad, but my pre-show... Hey, something happened to you, did you tell me about it in Trois-Rivières? What was it? Go ahead... No, no, I don't want to see that.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I was embarrassed, the first time I saw that, it happened in the first game. He arrives in the staff for too long. He's just a security guy. Security guys are pretty protocol. They don't want to lose their jobs. He arrives three hours early. I'm in the first game, Maxime Martin. The guy looks a bit suspicious. He says, I'll try to put things in the locker.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Chris falls asleep in the locker. He says, can you come in? I'm perfectly immersive. He said, can you come in? I said, yes, thanks. He came back 5 minutes later, I asked him to come out. I was like, what just happened? He searched everything. I asked him to come out, I said, ok, no problem, we'll wait for Max to be there.
Starting point is 00:14:16 No problem, we'll wait for Max. I'm big, too. So you come in, but you should ask someone who calls to open the door. I have no choice. I felt like shit. I called because I had a car problem. I asked if there were any plugs where we could go. I said what are you doing in the corridor? I said what are you doing in the corridor Chris? I felt like shit.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I was in a small church bath, lying on the side. It was sad, you saw it. But it was not that bad. I went to watch a movie. That's how we started in the showbiz, man. I know. I lay down in the corridors. We all went through there. We were lying on church benches in the corridors.
Starting point is 00:14:57 But is there any fun in a tour that you know, to do the first parts that you have access to rooms that you wouldn't have had access to otherwise. The room at Trois-Rivières is great, for example, a 450 Sault d'Or for Max, it's still very cool. It's the Cégep, since the room is in Reno. I'm more often in the Cégep than in Tampson. But it's weird because it's the first time I've had a first game with J.F. Who knows J.F.? Because he's on social media, he's a big hit.
Starting point is 00:15:33 At Trois-Rivières, when I said his name, I introduced him backstage. The slap I made to them, I hope we'll have a similar one. He's a big hit. I like that. He's solid, he's well loved. People write to me, you're going to be a GF in the first game. I say, wow. I replied to a message, you're GF in the first game? I say yes.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Then the person said, are you coming with your dog? I say yes. I say, oh, by the way, he's going to be there, me too. I hope I won't bother you too much in your party. But wow, we're asking for the dog and GF. And when is your first time in Montreal? February 13th. OK, but still soon.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Oh yeah, at the Metropolis. Yeah, everybody's going to the Olympiade, I don't know, I want to do something. I don't know why I have music plus flashbacks when I go to shows. It's a fun room. Oh man, I played during the pandemic the last time. I wanted to do this on February 13th because it's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:16:29 The first time I went on stage was on February 13th. Oh yeah? Yeah, so I wanted to do this. But it's long because it's the sixth and it doesn't get easier. And it's long because I'm in the first three weeks. And I just found the end number. Which is still not... Which is still the least important number.
Starting point is 00:16:51 No, but it was something... I wanted to write the show before I understood how I wanted to finish the show. And you know what I'm talking about, everyone is like... At 3 p.m. on Friday, you know, it's the kind of show where you say, Chris, this is going to be my premiere. He can do no wrong. Everything was perfect. I mean, you know, those kinds of shows where you say, Chris, it's gonna be my first, you know. He can do no wrong. He's all round. It's funny because he did 15 minutes of tap,
Starting point is 00:17:10 the ceiling was shaking. And when he introduced me, we crossed hands, he had his boobs dilated like he had done some shit. I was like, what the hell? You have to be honest, man. I don't know about you, when it's just fucking going well, you're like, oh shit, I have to do 15 minutes,, I just did 15 minutes, but you want to stay longer. So I was like, I'll introduce him, but I was in the face of a little guy.
Starting point is 00:17:30 What's to be flat when you do a first game? After a show, you're on a big ass stage, there's a lot of people in the lodge that you can trip, but you go in the lodge, you're alone. You just just alone. I have Aura once in a while. Sometimes Aura leaves the scene to have some fun. It's clear. It's hard because yesterday after that I was in Longueuil at the end of a place, which is a place recognized for having a public.
Starting point is 00:17:59 People laugh, people have fun. I don't know if it's the acoustics, but it's tougher. Because after Friday it's like, bring it to the premiere. And yesterday, it was just a little bit insecure. But I think it's good. Yeah, you can't get too confident in a premiere. No, I don't have a B of 5 and Victor, who I bring back to the audience, who also has the fun. B of 5, I think it's really a fun audience. It's fun, but it's a public, I call it a selective public.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I don't think it's a bad audience. And Victor, when it triples, it triples. When it doesn't, it doesn't. Exactly. And it's the last lead, so I'll have to see if I have a good show. It's a good test. After Victor. But I'm really excited. It's the sixth. It took me some time. I don't know if you saw it before. No, you, Christopher, I don't know if you saw that discussion.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It took me some time before I got inspired. I left the radio and everyone was there. I was there for a year to do stand-up, but not until I had the new stock. I was talking to Parkin, Parkin. My new show is ready. You say, Chris, I'm coming here, I'm improvising. I'm talking to Rachid.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I'm like, Guillaume Pinault, I'm like, great! It took a bit. I didn't have a choice, I already had booking dates. I didn't have any material. So I didn't want to go on tour and say, excuse me, I met a girl, she's fun! If you've seen me in time, shout your favorite numbers. It didn't feel like a job.
Starting point is 00:19:31 It's really booking rooms, you laughed and said, ok, I'm going on stage. When I was on stage, I thought I had 10 minutes, so I booked here, people called it a shame. Because it was a shame. I sell tickets and I don't have shows. People were shocked. By the way, I loved my first gag. I was like there, my first. I started my shows in three months.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I wrote three jokes. And then it was laughing and I was like, this is my first joke. And then I was like... There were 59 minutes left to fill in. I had to pull the other two. I told people to write questions or words or themes. And then... You did that here?
Starting point is 00:20:25 Yes, yes, here at Bordel 2. And the first evening, I thought I had 10 minutes of material, but I actually had about 20, 25. And then with the questions, I managed to build. The first evening, I did it like an hour and a half, the last hour was slack, but the crowd was happy. The next night, I took, let's say, on the hour I had improvised, I took the best ten minutes.
Starting point is 00:20:51 So instead of having 20, I had 30, and the next night instead of having 30, I had 40. And in less than a month, I had an hour. Once the ball was going to be opened, it was going well. It's been a year. I started the radar a year ago in December. My first ritual was in Gatineau, one of the best places to break a sandwich. It's a beautiful place to sacrifice. It's a little club in a golf club. Yes, I like that one.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I don't like it. In humor, he calls it the sandwich theory. You start with a cruddy stock, try your new stock, eat a sandwich with a ham, and then... No, if I dive, it's without fillets. You go all in, just the new one. I had taken two first parts to be able to do... I wanted the show to last 90 minutes. Two first parts that took 15 minutes. I had 60, and I was awake with 30 pages. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I sat down and I read my... I got up from time to time. What's fun in Quebec, with the tour, as you can see, on Friday, I wrote the end number. Friday afternoon, I left for Trois-Rivières, so I don't have time to take it, but in the car, you know.
Starting point is 00:22:02 I wanted to read it. What's fun is that people nowadays, we have a very educated public in terms of humor. When you get into this kind of making of... They are happy to participate in it. Well, everyone wants to know, you are witnessing something that will not be the same or that was not done the day before.
Starting point is 00:22:20 There was something that seemed to have removed the stress. I had seen one day Dave Chappell, it didn't go very well, and I liked it more than seeing him do a hit. For real? It's not a social crash. You can see that he's alive. You realize he's human. Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:22:41 And then I didn't tell myself that I was comparing myself to Dave Chappell, but then I was telling myself, let Chappell, but I was thinking, let's say someone came to see me on stage, and they were fine, they didn't have a story, but I was like, they have a story, I saw Mike Ward, he's been doing this for 30 years, and he was pathetic, he was not good. I don't think people say that. No, no, no. I was thinking, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Whether it's good or bad, they will live from what? If it's good, they will live from what? If it's not good, I will give them anecdotes for the rest of their lives. You're bad, man. You're fucking bad. Yeah, the positive. And also, let's say, there are a lot of influencers' shows that the world is just happy to be there.
Starting point is 00:23:36 That's the thing now, being happy to be there. But it's comments that I often hear from people who say, Hey, we like to see you on stage better than watching your videos because I make a lot of videos on the internet and it's nice comments that I get we prefer to see you live but the opposite must hurt Hey, you're better on your videos
Starting point is 00:23:54 and you're like, well, my job is stand up Especially in person, it must hurt You see, with these... It's someone who does, hey... Yeah, and... Well, tell me, I don't remember the name, but it's someone's work. It's crazy how people sometimes don't have a filter and you don't realize... How long can you have after a fucking show? I had... I got kicked out before the parties,
Starting point is 00:24:18 and there's a guy whose reaction was, You're a dick, you're well-old, you know? For real? Yeah, you're a dick, you're a good old man, Steve! For real? You're a good old man. Especially when you're in your head, you're going to fall down. Chris. I was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:24:36 I admit that in the last 30 years I've aged. But you know, it's funny, because we talked about it before going down, I know I'm going to do another one after this one. How many are there, we don't know. We talked about it. It's funny because the other time I was in a show, there was Réal Bélan, Fallu, me, Petit.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Réal who has a dog too. Yeah. So there was, and Fallu who has several animals. Yeah, yeah, it's... The trend has gone. It's really the zootherapy on tour. You and Zumaury are fucked up. It's true.
Starting point is 00:25:10 It's long because... Chris, we've all become poor. Even I, when it's been 3 or 4 days, I didn't shave. I can see that. I thought it was beautiful. Seeing each other again. We've known each other for 30 years. Chris, we still have a tough time.
Starting point is 00:25:25 The biggest challenge of this career is to be tough. And another thing I like, if this gala had taken place 25 years ago, I would have compared myself to everyone on stage. You know, we were the same. I had to be tough. That's what I find fun about aging. The rush is taken.
Starting point is 00:25:43 You're just happy that people have had fun, you compare yourself to yourself, everyone has their own gang, everyone has their own audience. I think... Sometimes it comes to me, it makes me emotional, but I think I'm starting to rest. You're laughing, but I had to go through a hormonal test, it's a hormonal profile, Chris.
Starting point is 00:26:01 He talked to me for half an hour yesterday, he was like, JF, I need to start getting my testo done. I was like, what are you doing? He said, maybe there's a cream too. I was like, start with the cream. That's the idea. I'm a cream guy. I had done this test because I was sure I didn't have testosterone.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Because I don't have hair. That's your link. No, no. I had zero libido. I went to a test on the internet. Really? You're kidding. You crash a child. You're kidding bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch!
Starting point is 00:26:46 You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch!
Starting point is 00:26:54 You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch!
Starting point is 00:27:02 You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! You're a bitch! A strong woman! In fact, there, madam, good news, bad news. Yeah. Except that for a woman, you have a lot of hair. But then I met my blonde and it looked like it lit up something in me because I... When I... You know, in Quebec, I thought I was going to do a real test. You know, it's not... I send this to the post office.
Starting point is 00:27:22 And then I was like... At the post office. What would have been funny if you had done the test at the office. And then I was like... At the office? It was like you had done the test at the counter before giving my list. To crash while looking at the lady. Exactly! It has to be cold at the last minute. But at the end of my test, I was like the highest possible without...
Starting point is 00:27:42 You were a real man? I was a real man. I was a real man. Oh yeah. The recipe was to unbutton my shirt while watching my results. I forgot we had the Quebec Symbol bag.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Chris, since I was a kid I never really liked to do it. Do you have a white shirt? I never really liked to stick my head in women's clothes. I don't know why. I just go crazy. Do you have a blonde? No. I saw the same thing with you. It's confrontable. Did you see a difference when you became in shape?
Starting point is 00:28:16 That it was easier to meet women or not? What do you mean? I think women are more corny. I'm telling you. Look at me and I have a blonde. Oh yeah. Thank you. We can't add anything on that. It's like a trap.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Is Maxime Martin going to fall into gags of grossophobia? The fucking trap was there. There's a fucking bear trap with a piece of meat in the middle. I'm still here. I was there, and there was a fucking horse trap with a piece of meat in the middle of it. And I stayed there. No, it's okay to talk about it, but... Anyway, everyone knows my fear of commitment. But speaking of the libido man, it was... I also experienced drops, it's confronting.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I can't wait to see what they're going to say about... It's confronting for a man to know that he doesn't have a testo. But at the same time, I still can't wait to see what they're going to say about... It's confronting for a man to know that he doesn't have a testo. But at the same time, I still can't wait to talk about it because... We laughed, we said that a guy talks about the Alphas, but I mean, we're talking about people who live in the bottom of a cave. There are still masculine taboos that fall. It's the same era of history to have a low testosterone level because you can take pills, creams or...
Starting point is 00:29:26 No, women are pills, we are needles like you. But not you and me, it's a different thing. It depends, it can be... I know that it depends on the severity, but it can be you and me. Okay. Damn! Me, I'm not doing it.
Starting point is 00:29:37 I'm going to get a sprain, I'm serious. It would be sick if you took it yourself and me, next time you come, you're the rock. You know? Yeah, because we know I'm not excessive you come, you're a rock. Yeah, because we know I'm not excessive. Hey Max, you should have said, where are you going? You're going to be the first guy with steroids. Not only you're enlarged, you're growing.
Starting point is 00:29:56 You're going to be a fiscis. What would be funny is if I started to hurt myself, I'd call you and we'd hurt each other. You know our routine. Did you hurt yourself today? But I don't like needles, it makes me feel like a prosthetic heart. No, but Chris is tense. It's funny because I've never been in shape. This year I did a big marathon calender because I wanted to find it. I wanted to see if I was still in shape before the pandemic and before I was 50 years old.
Starting point is 00:30:19 But at the same time, you see, after a while, I pass a apnea test, I pass a testosterone test, I'm like, damn, give me the reporter right now. Go ahead, go ahead. But, so, it must be rare, guys who do apnea sleep and more than a marathon every week. No, but it's, no, but to show you, but it pisses me off because there, everything indicates that I saw that and then go store a machine, she says... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr You know, put on your mask. Put on a little red ball on your mask. Put on your mask.
Starting point is 00:31:08 No, but Chris, the thing is, I told you in the day, but it's true that I didn't have a nose when I was doing coke. And then I think that coke made room for the air. Well, yes, but if I didn't clean my nasal passages, Chris, honestly, I burned everything that could intervene between my lungs and my nose. It's dead. From the start, it's just a pipe. It's funny. I talk about it in the show, of course.
Starting point is 00:31:36 There's a show I'm happy about. At 55, I was looking at people around me, guys my age. Even younger people and we said, hey, it's not fun to get old, and they came to pick me up. I like that, getting old. It's sad, man. You know, getting old is not fun in a certain way. Well, dying is not fun. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:55 The part of death is less cool. But the thing is, there's a way to get old, and it made me want to get old. When I heard, hey, I'm starting to get old, there's a way to grow old. It was so hard to find me when I heard, I'm starting to grow old, Christ, you bastard. I see humorists at 35, it's not fun to grow old, hey, Gandalf, calm down, you're a coward, you know? But what do you like to grow old as? The perception of things is different,
Starting point is 00:32:18 and that's what I find fun. I'm a coward of everything. There's nothing that stresses me. It's not true. I was watching videos ofolist. There's nothing that stresses me. It's not true. I was watching videos of fires in Los Angeles. Because you're not there. No, but... No, but fuck it.
Starting point is 00:32:34 On the videos, I'm not stressing. Poor people. I sent them my test of saliva. It was an old man. It was an old man who was caught in his house, and he didn't panic, all the comments were like, Christ, what have you done? And he was like, he's going crazy, and I was like, that's the beauty of old age. Were you a saint too?
Starting point is 00:32:59 I don't know. I was telling you earlier that I also have fun. It's true that when you launch a take, you have something that sets you up. The way you see, the signs of life too. I decided to self-produce for this show. That's a true story. I decided to self-produce because of a t-shirt. Ok. I didn't even come because... because of a t-shirt. Ok! I didn't even come because...
Starting point is 00:33:25 What is a t-shirt? Well, I was like a free agent... I was even sure I was going to go there, you know! It reminds me of the time I had taken to come to the dead with you and thank you, man! I didn't expect that. I decided to... I decided to... A T-shirt for my radio. Seriously, I had talked about it, I had asked for advice. I was a free agent, I had the choice of...
Starting point is 00:33:56 I had offers for a couple of productions, big drinks, small drinks. And I had Alexander Vann who left the tribe. He said, I'm going to book bookie you shot, blah blah blah. We went to the store and he said, why don't you self-produce yourself? You've reached that stage. And I was like, I'm not a... You were a business man, I know you. People underestimate me to the point that I'm a business man.
Starting point is 00:34:14 But you know, he's a man... This guy bought Netflix, I had Netflix stocks 20 years ago. I've always admired you for that. But I sold it before it went out. Exactly. But still. But you see, my relationship with money, it's really true. My accountant, he always gives me time to make a budget and I say,
Starting point is 00:34:30 Chris, I take my card, it goes into my budget call list. No, but I'm serious. When you say I'm going to go produce motorcycles, we're still talking about money. And then I had to make a decision. I had called because even in the table, if I had discussions and everything, and I remember because I was like, that's crazy, I'm telling you. I was like, man, you know, the blonde was in a big bar. I was like, man, that's interesting, but it's a big bar, they have so many people. And what do you think I should do with our producers? She said, I said, hey, listen, how do you say that?
Starting point is 00:34:55 I said, yeah, but if I produce myself, if I could make more money, well, you know, in that, you know, you produce yourself. I put the big bar, you know. You don't come from that direction, and I come from that direction. Do what you want to do. Yeah, but I had, in that, you know, you produce yourself, you know, but the big box, you know, you don't come from that side and put yourself in that side. Do what you want to do. Yes, but I had asked what you want.
Starting point is 00:35:10 You know, and that, I think, is that, being a... an old man, an old man, you know, being with a big box, it has qualities, it has flaws, self-producing, qualities, flaws, but you have to know what you want. If you want to be, let and default, but you have to know what you want. If you want to be front page of the newspapers and have a show in V, it's called PV. I think it changed the name four times.
Starting point is 00:35:35 If you want to be TQS, if you want to be... You know, a big box, they'll put you everywhere, but you won't necessarily make more money. You'll probably even make more money. You will probably make less money. And besides, I know it. The first half of my career, I spent too much time wanting to please those who didn't like me. Because that's it. We want everyone to love us. Especially when you have the style of the word we have. We took our division.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And then one year you do like eating shit. So much the better if there is people who join. You see, see, it's in that, what I find fun is that I... Hey, wait, can I interrupt you? We're all going to know what the... I'm getting to the T-shirt, it's called a build-up, fuck! Now we're going to learn, it's going to be, if you write, then die. Just do it!
Starting point is 00:36:23 But no, but no, at the show I have people who bring their kids, I find that fun. Honestly, I feel like a Rolling Stone. Just do it! I was almost two years old. When I was anxious, I ran with Aura and it felt good. I was in the city of Montreal, I was walking around, and a family was walking around, and a little boy must be ten years old. Even the guy said he was a cool dude. He walked with more confidence than I had ever seen. And he made you go, what's up? What's up?
Starting point is 00:37:02 No, but he had blond hair. No, but he was in high school, he was going to be a tabarnak fan. And his games were written, Don't be afraid to take more chances. Tabarnak! I had never seen this shirt anywhere. I thought it was a sign of life. So I called everyone to say,
Starting point is 00:37:21 Chris, thank you for the offer, but I'm going to self-produce. Did you tell them the reason? No, but seriously! The offer is interesting, but the t-shirt is much more credible. The people who hung up on me said, Maxime Martin started consuming again. But I must admit that by hanging up on me, I've been saying to myself since when I'm taking t-shirts concerts, have you been saying that? But seriously, it really... I've been playing on the channel since I started taking concerts. I was only 10 years old. But seriously, I'm really into it.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I can't wait to make my biscuit schmuck in two seconds. I'm so worried about this job and what decision I'm going to make. One day you'll say, I'm going to quit the job and let life take me to the right place. Sometimes you take a lock by letting go of the wheel too. Well, if someone knows the decision, it's always the right decision. Yes, and at the same time, the sales of tickets are going well, I find that fun. Even if I'm self-produced, I have a small team. I don't think it's production, I don't think it's a small production.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I'm still happy. I look at my dates, I look at the dates, I see what I'm going to do. It reminds me of when I was a kid and I played hockey. You look at who you were going to play and the dates. You know what to do after so many years. I know where you're going to sleep, what restaurant you're going to go to. I'm looking forward to taking the road road. I'm still very excited. What are you going to do? We're not a duo, you know that.
Starting point is 00:38:50 No, I know. Do you want to do a tour two nights a week, three nights a week, four nights a week? Or do you want to have five weeks? That's cool. I'm happy because even when I came to work here, we were talking about the fun,
Starting point is 00:39:10 we were talking about things we didn't realize, I forget what was fun about being in a lodge with other people trying out new stuff, clowns, and I think it's fun that after so many years you're still nervous when you wake up, it's a new 10 minutes, and this fragility of... You don't want to, you know? And now, I find it funny to be 50 years old and to look at you, you know, the huge mess of this world that tears everything up, you know, the young push us in the ass in a good way,
Starting point is 00:39:41 it keeps you alive, you know? How old are you? I'm 30. So you were born 4 years after he started doing stand-up. You started in what? In 1992? In 1989. In 1989? Wow! Exactly. I was telling an anecdote and he said,
Starting point is 00:39:59 Man, it's been a year since I've been a nanny. I was like, shut up. Can you just lie or not? You don't need to be noticed. But at the same time, as I said, I think it's fun, I think it's beautiful, I think it's something... Christ, man, we're still here. It wasn't the sixth show,
Starting point is 00:40:16 we heard it wasn't meant for that. I remember during the holidays, I was thinking about that, during the holidays, it's often a period of reflection, and not a period of reflection, like I was questioning myself. But it's just that, you know, I started to make humor when I was 10 years old. It was a long career. So I was like, hey, if I can do this for 10 years, and if I can have a 3-year-old that's doing well, and it's going to be cool, I'm going gonna be the seller, the fun at Future Shop.
Starting point is 00:40:48 You had big ambitions. You're not even a seller, you're not even a manager at Future Shop. But there's something else I was going to experience, that I think every artist should live. I went to France, spent some time there, to do clubs and parties. I got there and there was people who were half my age and who asked me if I was doing that in Quebec. And the booker said I didn't know you so I'll give you five minutes. I think everyone who knows a certain level of success should find their roots. It's fun. I'm so excited, man!
Starting point is 00:41:25 You lose your ego, and ego is not a good thing. I'm going to coach David Mike Ward! I'm going to continue doing my 10-15 minutes in Quebec. When you're not on stage with Max, have you started doing your shows at 1 o'clock? I have my hour, I'm in the office right now. It's going well. At Trois-Rivières, when we finished the show, I received a lot of messages like,
Starting point is 00:41:50 Hey, how come there's no more tickets to your show? I was like, well, that's a good question. I went to see you on your website, and you really have almost all your dates sold out. Yeah, I'm not sure I'm engaged here. Is that because of your TikTok? It's a mess, but TikTok, Facebook and Instagram are three platforms. Listen, I...
Starting point is 00:42:09 I like that you're talking to me like I'm 80 years old. No, no, I just finished my sentence. These three platforms are completely different from what I think. TikTok is good to get people to know you. You go out in the street, people must recognize you, it's cool. Instagram is more for the notoriety in the middle. Facebook is for selling tickets. I use Facebook to sell tickets, it doesn't have that much money. It's really there that they're going to look for more.
Starting point is 00:42:31 But TikTok is where I have the most views. And that's what I find fun because we were a little bit out of time for the productions of newspapers, radios. If you didn't like it, man, do you understand? Now, Chris, when you're a fan, you know, that's what scared me. What reassured me to start doing it, is to connect with my gang through social media, it will work.
Starting point is 00:42:48 You know, the autoprod, let's say in 1995, I remember my first show. You know, we didn't have the means to buy, and I had a producer. We didn't have the means to buy a full page in the Journal de Montréal. We bought quarters of pages. And the quarters of pages were were like 3-4 thousand. Yeah, for once. Did you sell it thanks to that? Yes, but not... But you were like, OK, let's put it, let's put it...
Starting point is 00:43:15 Let's say a complete page, when you know a guy, it's 5000$, but 5000$, you have to sell the label to get your money. So in the time to self-produce, it would have been you have to sell the labels to get into your money. So in the time to self-produce, it would have been necessary to go to the bank, to tell people that they didn't even give me a credit card. Hey, you're giving me a million, I think. For a newspaper page, there's a lot to do. No, but it cost about 200,000 before that came out.
Starting point is 00:43:44 You see, I self-produced it would cost around 30-40 000. My first one-man show was a mini-production. It cost 100 000. It was Spectra. It was 100 000. Everyone was like, hey, that's nothing. And 100 000, that's nothing. And 100,000 dollars, it's huge! I'm going to look like a nasty Peewee, but...
Starting point is 00:44:09 What's so expensive? It's advertising, mainly. In the meantime, it's only advertising. Because you had to be on TV, radio, in the newspapers. They were waiting in Tabarnak. Oh, shit. Yeah, yeah, there were no social media, nothing. So it went fast, they put it on TV. And I thought for a while I was be a little bit of a pain.
Starting point is 00:44:27 So for 30,000 dollars, you have everything. It cost me 30,000. And I included the dog food. No, that's a commodity. But no, but the paper. Oh yeah, you're a commodity. Are you a commodity in the world? Yes, but Chris, everyone wants to associate with dogs.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I can't even believe it. For a year, I wrote gags. When you were doing it, are you a commander by the way? Yeah, but Chris, everyone wants to associate with dogs. I can't even believe it, for one year I wrote war, when you were doing it, it's to kill the dog, put yourself in the flat line, you're the schoolboy, it's good, you know. Now what's sad is... It would be really easier, I tell you, it doesn't feel good to the world, I'm not sure if it's for him or the dog, Chris, you know. Hey, you're still young, but if you die during the tour... Stop, okay, I'm putting that in my head.! You have to find a dog that looks like her.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Well, at least we have the I just got my life back. But I really... It's not a big deal that I'm... Well, no, I'm talking about the kids. Oh yeah. Oh, Christ! I quickly caught myself in the... And it's the queen of Maxime Martin! Oh, the dogs, I'm really... It's the most beautiful thing...
Starting point is 00:45:38 No, no, the kids, I love you! I'm not saying I got it, I'm just saying... But yeah, but apart from that, it includes everything I said, your opinion, your post on the networks, I have to start doing the radio again, and you know what, we're going to present the shows, so we're going to do a show. How is it to do the radio because it was 3 years ago? Yes. In fact, they called me to replace me during the holidays. And I did it. It's tempting me. I said, it's the holiday season. And Olivia did a boot with me too, so I was having fun.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Is it the morning show or the record? Morning show. I just saw those social networks. Yes, it's the morning show. At first it was during the holidays. Then they told me, hey, Danik Martinez is going to do Big Brother. Do you want to continue? And then I hesitated because I was thinking, Christ, I'm they asked me if I wanted to continue. I hesitated because I was going to a show, but I think it's fun.
Starting point is 00:46:30 It's really funny because he goes to Big Brother and I play there. When he's eliminated, I'm like... You don't have to listen. Every Sunday I listen to you and you say, I'm working tomorrow. I'm not even in the bar. Exactly! It's funny. It makes me feel like I have a life discipline.
Starting point is 00:46:51 You wake up at 4am, you do the six, you do the shows. But you have a life discipline that's quite intense. We were talking about it earlier, I realized that people often say, you're always involved in events, but it takes't do that. People say I booked shows to kick my ass and write. It's the same thing. When I stopped, it was the last long-term treatment I did this year, I took a year off.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Relaxed. For two months, I went to the gym or went running once or twice a week. I ate scrap and I got back to school. I registered for or twice a week. I would eat scrap and I would frame myself. I would do a couple of things and it would kick my ass. Are you saying that Max is a little intense? Or what could you do? But it takes me to discipline myself. That's how I frame myself. Are you someone active?
Starting point is 00:47:40 In life? Thank you, but I find you mean. I didn't say that as a gag. I was inactive from 8 to 22 years old. When I stopped hockey, it was university and direct job. I stopped all physical activity at that time. So you haven't moved since you were 22 years old? You were a bit ahead of yourself at the time. I was playing hockey from time to time, I saw some guys doing the same thing. Were you good? Because you stopped playing pretty late. I was doing well.
Starting point is 00:48:20 You played college 3. It was good. I was a defender. You played college 3, man. Yeah. You're good at this. It's been good. What were you? I was a defender. You were talking to yourself with the skates. You must be 9 feet tall. I was 6.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Yeah, with the skates I was 6'5''. But I had a kind of Y. Were you strong as well? Yeah. I was close to 6 pack for example. I know it's hard to imagine. Really? Yeah. I was like... You CPAC for example, I know it's hard to imagine. Really? Yeah, I was like...
Starting point is 00:48:47 You're finding another first-time practice. I'm really sorry, but we made it out of that intimacy. It's for real. When I was in middle school and college, Monday we had a practice in the morning, we had gym in the evening, on Tuesday we had spinnaker in the morning, gym in the afternoon, on Wednesday we had all the time, all the time what, 2-3 physical things per day.
Starting point is 00:49:11 So you don't want to eat, right? Even if you don't want to. That's what it was. And I had a Y at one point where I had the choice to go to 3A College or I was invited to the junior high school camps. I didn't want to mess up my life with hockey, so I really decided to switch to college. But I regret it. Are you happy now? If you had been a junior high schooler, do you think you would have been a league national? No, no, no. I played... So why do you regret having a free university?
Starting point is 00:49:44 I didn't have a free university. If I had been a junior high free university? I didn't have a free university. If I had been a junior high school student, I would have had a free university. Oh, okay. Where did you play as a student? At Tetra Mines. Okay. Okay. You're strong.
Starting point is 00:49:56 When I arrived for junior high school, I was invited by St. John's. It was in the big years of St. John's. I think it was Hubert Dau and all those gangs. He was talking to someone, yeah. So I would have been like 12th defender in the team. I'm not sure I would have tripped. Otherwise I had Drummondville and Rouen-Noranda. It was the places. And Rouen-Noranda, I always stayed in Rimouski.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Rouen, it started to be far away in Esty. So I decided to just go to Tateford. He's a little bit closer to his parents, it's nice to see. He's a mama's boy. It's funny, a guy who fights hard but ends up at Thetford. I'd say he's at Thetford too. It must be fun when you're that old to see teams that want you. It must be thrilling.
Starting point is 00:50:41 It was really cool. But when I was in the hockey team and I started to hang on to hockey. But I completely lost it when I saw guys I played against in the national league. Cedric Paquette, Clapperton, I watched them. I saw them winning games, winning couples. I was like, you never went 1 on 1 against me, my style. I was the one who was supposed to be in your place. But fuck no, the guy worked so hard to get there.
Starting point is 00:51:08 There is such an incredible gap between junior and senior, and the national league, it doesn't even have a relationship. When you're on the ice with someone from the national league, you just don't have time to react. He's too fast. I would never have stopped when I got there. That's for sure. So you're starting again? I want to start again. I tried to listen to Team Canada Junior this year. It was a bad year to start listening to that. Even you could have played. They played badly, it didn't sound good.
Starting point is 00:51:43 But the Canadian is doing well, so I'm just trying to hang on to it. I never thought I'd witness such a long hockey discussion if I listen to you. I find it wonderful. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was young, I was playing hockey, but as a spectator, and I hung up because of the Nordics. Did you play? When the Nordics left? Yeah, when the Nordics left, I took them personally.
Starting point is 00:52:27 When the I'm a little bit of a prostitute and I accept that it's a good team. Joe Capard, he played against the Sabres, I bought myself a Sabres channel. There was a guy from Quebec who translated a Canadian channel. I said, are you cheating? I said, you don't see the irony that you're cheating on me. You're like, while you're in the Canadian channel, you're from Quebec and you're a fan. So, but well, goodbye. Did you play or what? I finished immediately 2-C. 2-C?
Starting point is 00:52:41 Ok, ok, ok. That's... That's the... That's the... What did you mix in my drink? I, okay, okay. That's the... That's the... What did you mix in my thing? That's the good... Are you fucking crazy? That's the good from the bad.
Starting point is 00:52:54 That's the... For real, someone 2C I was like, oh fuck, he's like a little kid. It's... It's... It's still... I stopped in the Pee-wee. You're the only person who has me. Pee-wee, CC, you were good enough to be in the Pee-wee of the Carnival.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Exactly. It was one of my biggest sorrows. We played for West Highland, and it was Pee-wee 2C. It was always 2C. One year 2B, 2C, not 2A. But not 2AA, loser's gang. But Joe Capard and the first three teams of our league went to the PUE tournament. It was my dream.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I knew that if it was my size, I wouldn't be a hockey league player. But the PUE tournament, everyone wanted to participate. And the last game before the cutoff, we equalized. And the team behind us won, so they won by one point. They went to the Peewee tournament, but I think I was there for a week, but it was the shaman. I remember the Peewee tournament, it was Victor against Gatineau, it was Dramant against Bucamo. Now it's lost that side. You still have teams from Sweden coming.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Yeah, but I don't know. It must be cool to play. I had played against Switzerland. You played against Switzerland? Well, at the Pee Wee. For real? Yeah. But my team... I was really bad at shit. And my team wasn't 2C, it was C2, which was the lowest. For real? who was the lowest. Really? And there were Swiss players who asked us to play against them
Starting point is 00:54:30 to get the Canada title. And they beat us, I think it was 12-0. And I'm the only player in my team who managed to get it. Once. A junior ball. Yes. And I think I got... I think I started from another blue line.
Starting point is 00:54:47 It's... No, but already these two, it's a special group, more or less. Oh yeah, no, no! I was... I was... There were even caps in front of you! Yeah, what she did behind the door, it's... You put your hockey cap on before boarding the bus, it's... Yeah!
Starting point is 00:55:01 All the players in my team wore their caps in life. We lost 15! 15! Yeah, all the players in my team wore their helmets in life. We lost 15. No, it's a pity we weren't good. I didn't know you played hockey. I didn't play long. I was good on the streets. But everyone is good on the streets, Chris. No, but not really. My friends all played in two letters. I was as good as them, but I's not true. My friends all played in two letters. I was as good as them, but I was bad at skating.
Starting point is 00:55:28 It took me molded skates. The microphones! The scissors. I have little daughters of my wife. It's true that your hormonal profile is a strong woman. Did you pay for your skates so that your hair could hold you straight? No, I really bought molded your skates so your hair could stand straight? No, I really bought skates in plastic, molded. It looked like a 3D printer. It was holding my right feet.
Starting point is 00:55:55 But yeah, that's it. I can't say that, I'm too fucking stupid. What is it? Nothing. The way you said it, I imagined when we learned how to skate with the chair, I don't know why I didn't push the chair with my pants down. I had a chair. I had my grandmother's marchette. Yeah, exactly. And a stick next to it.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Exactly. You're capable, Mikey. But the worst, you know, I was, in my head, when I was little, I knew I was in the cheapest league, but I was... C2, Chris, man. Was there a C3? There was a C3. There was a C3, yeah. There was a C3, yeah. It's true.
Starting point is 00:56:28 But I was... Maybe you can laugh at someone else in life. I was my team's assistant, so I was like, hey, I'm in the best. And then I found a thing that said the number of points I had in the season. And then I was like, OK, I'm going to be... Then I was like, no, no, no. And I was like, I think I got two assists and one goal in 20 games. How many games?
Starting point is 00:56:53 It was really pathetic. It was really not good. You're going to be good for the morale of the team, I don't know. It's a positive leader. Yeah, exactly. How did you get your A? I had won... Did you have someone who won in the locker room? I think the world liked me because they gave me a medal or a trophy, but a sports spirit.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Oh no! We give that to those who are really bad. But who are capable! Then everyone goes, oh, it's... The trophy of well-triedness. Exactly. When you were in school, we had the annual test of the best essayist. Exactly. Do you remember, at school, we had the annual test of Government Canada. You had excellence, silver and bravo for participating.
Starting point is 00:57:33 And they reminded us of that. Who remembers that? It's macarons. We're not that old, you bastard! Seriously! Me neither, I don't know. It's like big macarons. It big macarons that our mothers sewed. And the teachers were giving that to everyone. They were like, you're excellent, wow! I was like, wow, I really remember that.
Starting point is 00:57:59 I was there. I really didn't appreciate the silence on my question. It really... I'm sure I had a fossil in my hands. And I was like... Did people ever see that? It was called Canada Fitness Test. It's the Canada Fitness Test.
Starting point is 00:58:20 And it wasn't even... It wasn't even a sport. It was... Okay, the little chubby ones, put this rope up, and then you put the rope up, and they were like, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good You know, we used to jump on the spot. Oh yeah, in the gym. Yeah, you're like, whatever. It was just anything. We could do that today. You can't distinguish people anymore.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Why not? I don't know. Because everyone is good and the same. It's still physical tests. You don't have the choice to have them somewhere. I thought we were at the time where everyone... I saw... I stopped my sentence right away.
Starting point is 00:59:07 I love it when there's a silence that goes all the way to the end. No, fuck you, man. If the game was a hit here this week, there wouldn't be a second Corliss. There's no more Canada Fitness Test because of the Wok. The Woks killed the macaron we were baking on... Yeah, that's it. I think he could do that again. I'm going to win. I know that in high school there's the BIP BIP test.
Starting point is 00:59:34 What's the BIP BIP test? Ok, now you know what you're talking about. So it's us who are old. Wait, we're it Canada Fitness Test, Big Silence, Bip Bip Test, Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya! Really? Does it remind you of the Bip Bip Test?
Starting point is 00:59:52 Well, it's called the VO2 match, I think. I think the word was healthy. Inside, we were making noise, and it was Bip Bip. You run when you hear Bip. That's roughly it. Oh man! You run from Bip to Bip.
Starting point is 01:00:04 That's it. So more than the Oh man! You're running from beep to beep. That's it. It looks like an innocent conversation. But it's more advanced than the fast beep. So at the beginning... It's beep, then it's beep beep beep. And then it's like... It's good distances.
Starting point is 01:00:21 So it's the same. Is there someone running after you with the beep or without taking you're running. It's the same. In fact, you're too far to hear the beep. It's on a big speaker. In a gymnasium, you're a trolley of people on a line. And then it goes on the roof and you go to the other side and it goes back. And at some point, there's just people who come and are not able to follow you.
Starting point is 01:00:41 The second test, is it you play the musical chair. The physical tests, when I did... Are there deaf people who don't know it's over? Come on, you're a fool! Go get your fucking bike. Every time. I'm electric shock. The physical tests, in schools, it was always good. When I was playing mid-jab, there was some bend and pull-up. I made a big zero on those two tests.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Ok. I'm waiting a minute, but really the beep-beep test. I'm going to remember your reaction for a very long time. In addition, it was like the most beautiful flashback of your life. Since you were a baby, everything was disappointing. It was all suffering. It was painful. Bip bip was painful.
Starting point is 01:01:37 When you went in... Bip bip, are you ok? I'm ok. When you went in the gymnasium and you saw the big speaker on the side, you were like... Ok, he wasn't telling you in advance? No, it was a surprise. You arrived... You arrived like...
Starting point is 01:01:58 Like Squid Game Style. You were like... You just had dinner like your parents did, parents are full, a little warm belly, you arrive, you're like, nah, I'm gonna throw up in the afternoon. No, but besides, I have flashbacks, because you know, we were told, but there's always a kid who forgot,
Starting point is 01:02:15 so he wasn't dressed for the day, he didn't have his gym routine, so he ran with sabots and slaps, you know. Yeah, yeah. Because I was at school, you know, in the north of Hungary, you know, but... I don't know why I said fucking Nazi. Anyway, really... But you two, it means that if it was a surprise, there was no one ready for it. There was no one ready, you were coming and it was like...
Starting point is 01:02:32 You were in jeans, you were running in jeans... No, but basically, the baby test was in your physical education course, the first in the morning. Let's say you arrived the first in the morning, you were in your group... So it's not a fantasy, it's a fantasy. It's a fantasy. It's a fantasy. You were in jeans, you were running in jeans. No, but basically the baby test was in your physical education course. The first ones in the morning.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Let's say you arrived the first one in the morning. So it's not really a surprise. Well, you arrived in the morning, it was a surprise. The second group was told by the other group in front, hey, get ready because you're going to get a call from your uncle. What were you planning or were you losing? It was clearly a baby. You had notes to know in your bulletin, what you were going to have.
Starting point is 01:03:03 Hey, they put that in the bulletin? History, French, map, baby, and that's it. It was in physical education. In fact, they often did it at the beginning of the year, then a kind of check-up in the middle of the year, then a final at the end, and then you improve. You see that we have no more budget in schools. Chris, we don't have money, do you still have your speaker?
Starting point is 01:03:29 Man, seriously, man, between morality and that, it explains a lot of things. Man, seriously. You, Yann, you were the Canada fitness test, didn't you have a beep beep? Uh no, I didn't have a beep beep No, no. But do you remember the eardrums? Yes, yes, yes. Perfect, perfect. It was really amazing. I had the year of excellence.
Starting point is 01:03:53 I always had excellence. Really? Yes. I was in a crisis. Young. We understood, Mike. You didn't have to specify. Mike, diagnosed with diabetes,
Starting point is 01:04:03 was like you at Astaire. Yeah! You know? Yeah. Is it coke? No, it's not. Not Astaire, but well. How old were you when you became diabetic? Eleven.
Starting point is 01:04:13 For real? Yeah. Yeah. So you were 5 to 10 years old. 5 to 10. Even at 3, I was still young. At 3, I would still in shape. At 3, I retorted the baby test. But I remember one year that I was doing this test.
Starting point is 01:04:28 When you're under 10 years old, and I had... If you thought about it while I was running, I was like, why don't they put children under 10 years old in the marathon? Because when you're under 10 years old, you can run as fast as possible, to infinity. You know, you don't stop. You just run, you run, you run. And then I would run and I was like, hey, I could beat any adult after one hour.
Starting point is 01:04:55 I swear, it's remarkable. I remember a gym where I trained to run. There's a track inside. It was really the first time I ran a full-on run. It was really intense and I was proud. I timed everything. I had a coach. We called each other, hey man, it it was intense, and I was proud. I was going to put everything on the line, and I had a coach. We were calling each other, and I was like, man, it's a million, we're going to do it. And I looked at my nose, I was like, Christ, it's going well. And I heard a little girl in the back, she was eight years old and a balloon in her hands, and she passed me.
Starting point is 01:05:19 I swear, I wanted to hug a 41, and say, fuck you, blow some clubs. And I was like, fuck, I'm going to run. And in addition, a balloon is smoke some clubs, fuck, I'm so stupid. And a balloon is not aerodynamic, it makes it look like it. She had a balloon and a dress in gold, it was like a party, I don't know what. It demoralizes you, someone who is training for a triathlon, fuck, I'm so stupid. Fuck, I don't know, anyway. Anyway. Do you think you'll live that when you have your... You, you even quit at 45 years old, a little bit. Of what?
Starting point is 01:05:49 Of Top Shape. No, 40. 40? As soon as I stopped thinking about it. Do you think that at 40 years old you'll do, I'll take it and... You can do it before. It will be before. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 01:05:59 I'm not sure about that. I already... I'm not sure about that because everyone who worked with me... If Charles Deschamps had told me that one day because we started writing for a project and one day he called me and said, I started running because I was influenced and since then I was a kid. Yeah, you wrote me, you even posted on Instagram, ok, GF, it's you the next one who comes running with me
Starting point is 01:06:19 and he puts a nice view on the water and I was like, ok, I'll follow you in the car, it's not true, I'll follow you. You know, you run fast and long, and I run fast, but not long. If you want to attract him instead of the nice view, you put an AW in the distance. I'm going to the toilet. But you know, that's the most annoying thing, because it makes you think, I don't know if Charles Deschamps has already told you, because... But Charles, Charles, he runs, you still?
Starting point is 01:06:44 He stopped and then he started again. But this year, he called me and said, Hey, there's a 21 in China in three weeks. Do you think it's too soon to pass the 10 to 21? It's a way of knowing. I said, for fun, I'm going to sign up with you. We run together. He said, no, I don't want to run with you.
Starting point is 01:07:04 We did our race together and when I met him, he looked like he was a real pro. But he had confessed to me, I don't believe it, he was a real It's scary, really. It's like you're on vitamins. He f**king f**ked up during his half marathon. The priorities. But he managed to do it. He did his first full marathon.
Starting point is 01:07:34 You know, when you look at Claude Poirier, Claude Poirier smokes in his tent. What a guy! He did his first marathon. He smokes in his tent? Look at that age. There was an, but Claude Poirier... Do you still smoke? Look at that age, you're getting old. There was an article about Claude Poirier that I read last week and it said Claude Poirier who stopped smoking, who now transferred cigarette to a smoker.
Starting point is 01:07:54 That's news, it's still smoke. Yeah, yeah. It's not a big news. But at what age? You feel it, he's 80. He's 86. What are you,? You smoked them? You're testing me.
Starting point is 01:08:06 But you know, smoking is smoking. Yeah, but why would he start finding it too intense? It must be too hard to go to the store. You know, at that age... Maybe you should buy some cartridges. Yeah, that's true. I admit. I was surprised he bought that. I think it's my 86th year of switching cigarettes to smoking.
Starting point is 01:08:22 I think it's extraordinary. I thought when Guy Lafleur was passing by two packs of cigarettes... Maybe he's selling it on the internet. Honestly, I switched cigarettes to vapoteur. I thought it was extraordinary. I thought that when Guy Lafleur passed by two packs of cigarettes... Maybe you order on the internet? Honestly, when you get to that age, you don't stop. No? Well, someone said no. I don't know what age it is. Once you're in your eights, I think you can...
Starting point is 01:08:42 I'm in my eighties, I tried the Leroy for the first time. Everyone! Once you're in the eights, I think you can... I'm only 80, I'm trying to be the hero for the first time. Everyone... No, I'm a good old man, I could be a junkie. One of them will see the difference. Are you cold? No, I'm 80. Especially someone who has never taken drugs in his life. 80 is the age of the mother. Exactly. What a speech.
Starting point is 01:09:04 I think if you're in the eights, it's a crisis of victory of life. Nobody will... Let's say you could even smoke in public, smoke crack, nobody will believe them. When they will do a cry, I saw daddy Maxime, he smoked crack, they will do... God, that's it. It's his little pill, he's drunk, he has his pill,
Starting point is 01:09:21 he's just having a bad time, it's from which day he's going to... The heroine looks good, by the way. And then he got it wrong, he was just so drunk. He was like... The heroin looks good, by the way. It really looks good. I had a long discussion yesterday because we were talking about hormones. The only thing I can do is to put it in my mouth. And I remembered that the manager this week is the challenge for 20 days. Without alcohol.
Starting point is 01:09:43 But he reminds you that heroin is a fun thing. Well, technically it's not alcohol, you know... You know what? I wonder if you can... Chris, if you watch him for 28 days... I wouldn't drink, but he's gonna make me a little alcohol drink. It doesn't count, you know. I've never seen anyone on the heroin. We can agree that Arimouski is because there are more drugs.
Starting point is 01:10:11 It can't be very pure there. I have no idea, so I've never really seen any. It seems to me that it was the only one that it was clear that I would not touch. There were so many. There were so many. I was the only one! You were the only one! All the others did it!
Starting point is 01:10:30 I made myself crack, crystal meth, it didn't exist, you took the drugs that were popular back then, macarons, but not the bip bip! Not the bip bip drugs! It's funny because we had a discussion about it yesterday, it's funny because I have
Starting point is 01:10:50 rooms that fell in, and what I don't like is... I wouldn't have taken it the same way, but I don't like needles, so... You want to sniff it? Yeah, but... Well, Chris, we have a new project for tonight. We have a new project. At the end of the tour. At the end of the tour. At the end of our tour.
Starting point is 01:11:08 I know if I had made myself there... It's hard to come back after. Yeah. The only one I know... Well, the only one I know because... I thought you were going to name someone that nobody knew. You know, someone who reacted... Louis José Houdt! Louis José Houdt! someone that nobody knew. Someone who reacted like...
Starting point is 01:11:25 Louis-José Houdt! Yeah! People don't know that, Louis-José, but... I remember, but this is a true story. One year, he told it on stage. He was in Saint-Lazare, it was a party, and someone gave him a cake and there was pie in it. And that evening, he called me.
Starting point is 01:11:44 We didn't have cell phones. He called me and he was at home. It was like 1 or 2 in the morning. And we woke up when the phone rang. It wasn't on purpose. I would never forget. I took my cake and it looked like they put a pot in it.
Starting point is 01:12:00 I couldn't sleep. It was a pot. I didn't do anything to you. I'm talking about the I don't know how to take it. Who would have thought that... Already, I had a reference. It's been a while since you stopped consuming. 15 years. 15 years? Yeah, it's not like you're always on the right track, but yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:39 What's the thing that bothers you the most? Smoking. Did you ever stop smoking?? Smoking cigarettes. Ok. Do you have a cigarette, drug or anything? No, no. Cigarettes took some time. Cigarettes... Sometimes I even smoke cold cigarettes. Did you have a meeting? No, I didn't have a meeting. No, I stopped with an intervenant. A t-shirt?
Starting point is 01:13:04 A t-shirt. A t-shirt. Fucking funny. I don't have the right to add anything after this. No, I wasn't unanimous. I did a few, but I wasn't... An intervenant, excuse me. No, no, I would like to, no, it's perfect. But yeah. No, because I think it's important, because the meetings, you know, I have nothing against the meetings, but I think it's important to understand why you consume.
Starting point is 01:13:31 What is the source of your problem? And to solve the problem. Exactly. My blonde works at the Caza Center, which is a design talk center in Pointe-Québec. Caza-guin? Yes, it's a... It's his business, he was talking about brochettes. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:49 He's a disinterested person. Yeah, that's right. But that's what they're like. People are like, Hey, are you going to meet Jesus and talk about God? It's just behavioral or something like that. I'm listening to my wife's tongue talking to me, apparently. We're going to work really hard to get some balls and words to make a joke. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Stop getting balls, stop getting balls. That's what she's doing. But it's really... They're really going to look for the bottom of the problem of OK, what's going on, why are you doing this? And they're going to to fix it. There must be so many people who stop consuming, who just count the days. They are like, hello, I didn't consume, but you see that they just dream of consuming.
Starting point is 01:14:38 That's why they take your intensity of consumption and send it to something else. Sometimes they have it that it as the race. No, Chris, I can't imagine that we're going to say that. But they're really going to switch your dependence to something else. Because you're still an excessive. It's like the Tasmanian Devil, you just have to send him back to the other world. I see it as a stint, because you're like, OK, he's going that way. He's going to do a long-tailed grub. Grub, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:17 You compare a baby with a hairy stint that turns red until it's turn 10, right? Exactly. I would have adopted that him for a dog. Yann, do you have any questions? There aren't many, but there are. Okay. There's Danny. Thanks for saying that, but it's very rewarding.
Starting point is 01:15:38 Show me your card, but your mother wrote it. She wanted to know what you were thinking. Danik asks, for Max, did he learn more from his past as a skater? Oh, yeah! No, I'm not going to get into that. I was going to see a medzop who was going to talk about my previous lives. It was pretty fucked up, but you think I'm going to open the door? No, no, we're just...
Starting point is 01:16:01 When I saw the podcast, where did he and Mercier just... Man, I've never been so in a corner, in a ring, with two fucking bastards fucking me on it. So, I've been a Templar, it seems. So you've been conquered by another life? You don't know about that? Well, I've been drink, so no. Any other questions about my previous lives? It was interesting, but we don't go back there.
Starting point is 01:16:33 I feel like I need to flush my shit. I remember you talking about your previous lives. Someone told me about my previous lives. Do you remember them? No, I don't. You don't wake up and you're like... Alright, alright. That's why you want to play Assassin's Creed.
Starting point is 01:16:56 You're a champion and you want to fight John. No, I want to play... I'm asking because his manager is a specialist. No, I want to play sports and I want to change my manager is a specialist. No, I'm not going to play any sports games. I just want to change my mind. It's a long story. We won't end this on sugar. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Mitch is asking, Maxime, what is the story that you decided to stop the coke after having a date with Dominique Paquette? You had a date? Do you? No. Did you go to the show? I hope it's the way it is. You went to the hidden camera show at Dumpack.
Starting point is 01:17:35 And... That's what I thought. Dumpack with a wig. It's a shame to be a pusher. I won't stop after, but it was one of a pervert. I was a bit of a pusher. I won't go into details, but it was one of the first warnings. Last year we were in a bar in Saint Laurent. It was very popular. The Radio Lounge.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Exactly. I was with Dom Pak and Dom... Oh, the... If I remember correctly, I met him at the Parc des Chênes. I wanted to do some I'm going to find you a job! Yes! We salute him! Who's coming to do his job at Keistpop right now? But he didn't sell me, he knew the guy in place. You want to go downstairs. I was going to the mall, you go downstairs in the office.
Starting point is 01:18:40 And going back, I was already upset. The door was really open and the guyass was in front of me like a father. What the fuck are you doing? I know what you were doing! You thought you were hiding it from me with two thumbs up? Oh yeah, man! It was really love. It's so long because when I became clean, I went so far. I feel like a point of, I went so far. You know, with a point, my career went down. It's not a joke. I've already done the first part of people who did my first part.
Starting point is 01:19:11 It's a lesson in humility. And one year, even when I started doing the same thing, I started doing auditions. It was more like, hey, Max, what do you want to do this year? And then, you don't have to hurt me. We just want to see your equipment before, but I knew it was an audition. We want to see your equipment. And they're like, oh, finally, we don't take you. Well, there are years that I had... I was almost two or three years without going to the gala.
Starting point is 01:19:34 And before the mess here in Saint-Denis, what were the magical nights? Saint-Sybor. And the first time I had a number that was checking you out, and we had just taken me, not only to Montreal, but to the first time I had a number that was all over the place, and I was taken to Montréal, Quebec, and I remember a guy waiting for me in the neighborhood. And when I was out of the building, he said, I just found my guy. And I talked to him about it, and I got moved.
Starting point is 01:19:53 That's beautiful. So yeah, it's... But the guy who's yelling at you is one of the most terrifying things you've ever seen. I'm really... You know, there's always a guy, right? The guy angry, you don't want to see that. Have you ever seen a guy angry? I know it's rare. It looks like he's going crazy, and when it comes out, do you know it comes out? You're always like, dumb pocket Why? Because I was under red and I couldn't stop pushing his face.
Starting point is 01:20:26 Oh my god! He came to talk to me and I was like... You're like... And then when you saw him, he was like... I was like, he's angry! He's not small. No, no. When we...
Starting point is 01:20:42 Oh man, it reminds me of the time you kicked us when... We made a three-way show. The time you abandoned me and I was going to die in the hospital. Exactly! Word for word, you're telling a story. I think we already told you, but we have a game of ball-mall, then a night open, everyone is drunk, and there's this guy who... And the next day we want to leave, everyone is going to be late, we try to wake up,
Starting point is 01:21:07 we can't, we knock on the door of your room, it doesn't open, the manager opens the door, we try to wake up, me and Michel, his manager, and they kick us. But not just little kicks, no, acid kicks, kicks, but we try to get closer, TAKE YOU, YOU MOTHERFUCKER! A kind of mycoma, but I don't know if... And then we look at each other and we make a mess. I don't know if it's Michel or me, someone says, Who's dying, you bastard?
Starting point is 01:21:33 And we're gone. You know Michel, it's you. Shit! I opened the door in a way... Technically, if my life was given orange juice, I would have been alright, but... We couldn't, you kicked us, you bastard! We didn't even... We had cookies... Wait a minute, I remember that Michel thought about that... Cookies? Not cookies, but orange juice. We didn't even want to get close to you, man.
Starting point is 01:22:04 Chris, there's one who's got his legs stuck. There's one who's got his legs stuck, and the other one who's got his ass stuck. In a diabetics class, you're stronger than you think. That's when you find your form when you're with orange. I was closer to... yeah, that's it. I was closer to my 11 years old. You were strong when you were 16. Well, Yann, how many are left?
Starting point is 01:22:27 There are two left. Ok, perfect. There are a lot of people who want to know, J.F., who inspires you as a comedian, what is your style of humor? They want to know about you. I love everything that is counter, so whatever the counter, I'm going to listen to any counter. Jean-Marc or Fred Pellerin? No, I think both are counter. A guy who makes me laugh a lot is Simon Leblanc.
Starting point is 01:22:55 I think he's really solid. What was the other part of the question, your friends? Well... That was pretty good. We want to know more about you. We want to know more about me. Who inspires you? What is your style of humor on stage? Well, it's really... I tell anecdotes.
Starting point is 01:23:14 If you watch my videos on the web that I do, that I tell anecdotes, I do the same thing, but on stage with different anecdotes, and on anecdotes of 10 minutes instead of 1 minute 30. And you don't really have any stand-up material on the web? Not at all. It's easy to find. No, if you really want to see the... I saw that you have to pay 7 bucks.
Starting point is 01:23:33 I don't know. On your link tree, to see 15 minutes, it's 7 bucks. Oh, I thought that was gone. No, it's still there. Wait, you're saying I could pay you 7$ for my first game. I got beat up. But okay, I didn't know it existed. I was supposed to have taken it off. Oh yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 01:23:58 There's no stress. You're the most annoying. But yeah, I love it. But you know, I think the minute you come from the region, at least, my whole family is on my father's side. I love to put that. I think that every time you come from a different region, my whole family or my father's side, all the kids who like to tell stories, it starts with a small story and it becomes impossible things. So I just got that mood and I put it on stage. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:24:20 It's the first game I found. I like that first game. Chris, you too, you're pretty good at the first game I found. I like that, Chris, you're pretty good in the first game, but it's fun, the first game that heats your ass. That's what you want. That's what I like about him. I like the fact that he's got a lot of love. We like that. But Chris, he always puts the bar high. You go in and you go back to where the bar is. That's what I find fun. Oh yes, it takes a first part that when you get there, you're like, ok Chris, I can't be your pilot.
Starting point is 01:24:53 But you know, because it's not that long ago when you think that the first parts are in fashion. And I've already heard people say, that we know, you can't say, I don't want her to be poor, but she has to do something good for me. But in that case, what's the goal? You think you want someone to challenge you? Thank you. It's my pleasure. That's very nice. Yann?
Starting point is 01:25:18 Tanya wants to know, since we're in the beginning of the year, what is your personal goal or your career goal for 2025? Our cause? Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal.
Starting point is 01:25:34 Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal.
Starting point is 01:25:42 Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. Goal. I'm going to the 1030 at Brossard, which is a room that everyone told me was a crazy room. I'd like it to be full. Oh, you're doing your one-man show? Yes, I'm in my old age there. I already have half of it, maybe you have the three quarters sold. What date?
Starting point is 01:25:55 I think it's April 3rd. Ok, and it's jf86.com? .ca .ca, ok. So it's pretty much my goal for 2025, to keep working, having fun and moving forward. I'll keep that in mind. Honestly, I don't know, I'm not sure about your shows. I have to admit that I'm fucking nervous.
Starting point is 01:26:23 There are a lot of choices, but there are a lot of good shows. It's not just about humor, there's a lot of good humor. So, on February 5th in Quebec, on the 13th in Montreal, we won't pretend we're playing ourselves as a judge by criticizing. It's true that I don't read them, for example, I don't know if you read them. I didn't read the last two shows. I'll read the ones you wrote. No, but I'm in the mood.
Starting point is 01:26:50 You read the t-shirts, but see any critics. I'm going to go to Etienne, take your time. No, but I got my nose... Chris, you read the t-shirts but not the critics. He was in front of me, he was in a hurry. I didn't run after him, I turned around and he was there. I didn't follow him until they got home. But no, I got my nose Christian Vio who did the staging of my last two shows. He called me every day in the morning, do you want the critics? I said no, I don Christian Vio who did the staging for my last two shows. He called me the next day and said, do you want the critics? I said, no, I don't want the critics. He said, but they're good. You just said they're good.
Starting point is 01:27:09 So I said, I understand. Chris, yes, we wish you the best. Yes, I was even for my last tour. I didn't want to see anything. And Pat Groot had kicked me out. For real? Yes. I told everyone, I was like, hey, did you see the newspaper?
Starting point is 01:27:24 No, I didn't see anything. Don't't seen anything. Don't talk to me about it. Don't talk to me about it. And I had said, don't talk to me about it. Don't talk to me about it. And she was like, no, it's sick. And then I had called the police. Don't talk to me about it. But it's always... When you tell people, have you seen the newspaper? No, I haven't seen it. No, because you should have. No, I haven't seen it. Because it ends up... Your face is crying. No, I understand. But there, in that last show.
Starting point is 01:27:48 Really? Yes. Well... Yes. Ok. The last show, I thought it was on the rise by saying... The last show, the new one or the last one? No, the last one.
Starting point is 01:28:03 There was a show that I thought, that, only critics like this kind of show. So if I had bad reviews for a show that was made for critics to like, I would have written it wrong. While this one, it was for me, so I was like, if they don't like it, let's stop. But, you know, obviously, it's a good thing we work together. What I like about the new show is that I managed to surprise the world again. That relaxes me. And I don't want to fall into a pattern. And I think of all the things I've confessed in my life in this show. It's great to see the reaction.
Starting point is 01:28:39 So I find it fun to... I think the best challenge is to be able to renew yourself. I've had discussions with people who say you have to give people what they want. You say no, I'm not comparing myself. But a band like U2 for me has had a lot of strength in its career. It's lucky to have fans boarding your train. Make them travel. I find it fun again to see 6th shows, those who are fans will do. I think it's fun to see that fans will do it again.
Starting point is 01:29:06 I didn't expect that. Your train thing sounds like a sentence on a shirt. Yeah, but really. Imagine a handsome guy with long hair and a train drawing. There are people who will change their lives at that moment. There's a train. There's people who are going to change their lives at that moment. The next time I make you listen, I'll only answer by yes and no. Well, Yann, how many questions are left?
Starting point is 01:29:35 Well, there would be one last. One last, perfect. Exactly, it relates to t-shirts. What would be the t-shirt of your career? The t-shirt... Hey, I already have one. The T-shirt. I already read it right away. Effort equals success. If you work hard, if you work well, you'll have the consequences of your acts.
Starting point is 01:29:52 See how beautiful it is? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What do you want us to say after that?
Starting point is 01:30:01 You? I have no idea. Because I'm trying to... You know, I don't want to try to find a gag. I'm trying to find a real sentence. I would have one for you. I won. Yes, I won. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:18 I could even... Yeah. That! Yeah. Yeah, that's good. I'm not going after that! Don't look at me, you two! I'd like to come in, it's wonderful. I can't think of a better way to end this. We'll end with that. Thank you very much.
