Good evening! Welcome to Mike Ward, under listening! Thank you so much for being here!
Starting point is 00:01:40 Summer has arrived, Yann, are you happy that it's beautiful? Oh yes! Do you have... Me, you in the countryside, is it already summer or is there no snow? Yes, we are not in another country. I'm here with you! Don't go to the customs! I wanted to go to the customs but I don't want to pay the tariff hostages.
Starting point is 00:02:09 No, I'm so... For real, I'm... You know, people often say that winter burns them. I'm always like, no, I always have the same energy. But there, hostages, since four days, the sun seems to have brought me back to life. And the thing about the year, it seems like it's summer until you go outside. And then you're like, it's not summer yet. So I just stay in the window. I'm like a cat. I'm a cat. If I look outside.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Because I reopened my pool. I did a little pool. And it's not summer. Again, it's... It was at 52. I had hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard, hard! Hard, hard, hard! But it's fun, it gave me like a tan. It was all a beautiful pale blue. It was really fun. You, Yann, big week? Yes, I'm doing some work at home. Oh, what are you renovating? I'm making a little music studio. A piece that is useless.
Starting point is 00:03:23 In fact, it's like the end of my room. My room is like two pieces. Okay. There, I'm making a little music studio, a piece that is useless. It's like the end of my room. My room is like two pieces. I make a little music studio. I like that you call your room the end of useless. We see that it's been a long time since you're single. So you're going to have a music studio. Yes, a little music studio and I'm going to do my editing too. It's because my dog, Dougui, he doesn't want to go downstairs. He's afraid of stairs.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I don't know why. Because everywhere else he's able to take them. But he doesn't want to go downstairs. So I decided to make a little room for myself. To help with your dog. Yes. Ah, that's cute. Why don't you just take it and put it downstairs?
Starting point is 00:04:02 It seems to me that you saved 45,000$! It's just you there! But if you go through this... You know, no, he's young so he can see well, but he has little legs, so maybe he has some trouble with his legs. I don't know. Yet he has other ones.
Starting point is 00:04:21 I don't know why, but this one is maybe quite dark. I don't know. But yeah. dark. And it's also brighter. So everything that's in front of the camera, my podcasts, it's going to be done downstairs in the studio. And upstairs, the editing, the stuff behind the camera. It's going to be better for you. It's going to do your job in the office. You're not in a cellar.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Because when your podcast is fun, you don't need windows. But it's flat and crisp when you spend your day with an computer in a basement. Yes, exactly. It's cool. How long will it take you before you finish? I think I have about two weeks left. Okay, that's good. And when did you start? I started about a week ago. It's because I have a lot of mold.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I decided to do it in the style of the mess. It's a chic mess. It's very nice to have mold. It's going to be cute in the end, but it's a lot of mold. And it's all you? Yes. I like that. It's good.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Are you filming? Are you going to make vlogs? No. It took Not at all. No, no, no, Chris, it took me too long. When I was doing this, it took me double, even triple the time when I was filming my stuff. So even though I took a break from my podcast, just to get this started as quickly as possible. I don't want to do this in the big tent, you know. Oh yeah. I want the summer to be...
Starting point is 00:05:46 Ok, perfect. Are you ready? Yes sir! I'm so excited to have these guests here. There are a million ways to describe them. I will describe them in the simplest way. You will have no idea. The people who listen to YouTube, they are like, well Christ, write their name, this little
Starting point is 00:06:10 thick, present them. There is one, he will release his first one man show solo, so it's a little new. The other, he is currently doing his third solo one-man show. Ladies and gentlemen, here is Mario Tessier and Patrice Lécuyer! Thank you for being here. Thank you so much. Thank you so much! Hello! I'm going to make a smaller one inside. And another smaller one, it's going to be like a Russian cavavin doll. In your cavavin.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Yes, yes, yes. With little bottles of 75 zelep. We wanted to talk about deco, we know. But how is your one man show progressing? Have you started to get it? It's going to be disgusting. It's going to be disgusting in one way or another, but it's going to be disgusting. show. Par cela. Tu as tu commencé a roder? Ça va être écœurant. Ça va être bon. Ben oui, ça va être écœurant d'un sens ou d'un autre. C'est sûr, ça va être écœurant.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Ou ben non, ça va être écœurant. Je ne sais pas, je commence dans deux semaines. Ça passe quand? On est quand là? On est... j'ai aucune idée. OK. Ou ben non, ça a super bien été. Ou ben non, ça va bien. Quand tu dis, tu commences, le was great! Rubenon, it's going well in the book, I don't know. When you say you start, the show officially starts?
Starting point is 00:07:46 The show officially starts. There's not a single bit of my show that I've done in the test, whatever. But everything is written? Yes, but in two weeks, Mike. No, but you know, because there are certain people... No, I take a chance. I take a chance. I say, the world itself, they're going to laugh. No, but you know... I have a joke book by Gaston Lepage, 1964. No, but...
Starting point is 00:08:06 No, but... Gaston Lepage, did you release a joke book? Well, yes, certainly. Are you kidding me? I swear... Gaston, Gaston... Yes, Gaston's caricature is funny. I have that in my pocket, in the back.
Starting point is 00:08:18 It doesn't work. A little hole comes down. It's the story of the guy who goes to the dentist. It's gonna work. But I swear, Gaston has a joke book. Oh my God, yes, he has a whole book. For real? He made a record, Gaston.
Starting point is 00:08:28 What? He made a record? Yes, I told you. No, no, but I love him a lot, but he has a shitty voice, he sang a lot. He sang Gros Jambon. Gros Jambon, it's real, it's real, it's gigantic, you know, it's an animator, he was perfect. Real, gigantic, yes. Gaston had recorded it. let's stay before recording. Big leg.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Big leg. Big leg. You want? Hey, my book will make a hit in my show. It will be hot. Listen, I'm sure there are other 50 years following us at the moment. Yeah. And the other social networks, damn it, who are they talking about?
Starting point is 00:09:02 They didn't exist in the internet era. Who are they? Who are they? They're going doesn't exist in the Internet age! Who are you? Gaston Key! They're going to google Real Giguard, he's doing his quest on the table! His table is empty! We don't talk about that anymore! It's humor!
Starting point is 00:09:22 I wrote the show. I do it like a real show. The good guy comes, he walks. That's you, you have a good guy? Yes, the good guy walks. He tells jokes and people are impressed. But you, your jokes are written when you do a show. When I start my show,
Starting point is 00:09:40 since I only write one number at a time, I have almost nothing written at the beginning of the script. I wrote a little, but it's far from being a show. You just do 10 minutes in a show that already exists. No, no. You just do 10 minutes in improvisation. Except I come to write 10 minutes in places like here. So, less than two weeks before the start of. Did you feel the contempt in places like this?
Starting point is 00:10:07 Oh yeah. So... Well, in a wardrobe, there... When I'm not paying, I'm jealous, but after that, I'm not just playing in front of the cops. Hey, hey, hey, listen to me. Well, yeah. They all felt that, the world. It's like on the radio, the people feel so much like you.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Earlier we were talking before we started, do you know how many people came in from Albert Rousseau with this show? 28 soldiers, 28 Albert Rousseau. Thank you. Crazy. Well done, Mike. It's not a comic book. In fact, it's a comic book, but much bigger.
Starting point is 00:10:45 But yeah, I'm really looking comedian. In fact, he's a comedian, but he's a lot bigger. But yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm joking, but I'm really angry. Because it's the first time in my life that I'm going to do... You know, I've found characters, or I've animated, or it's texts that people have written for me. Now I'm talking about what I want to talk about. I'm talking about who I am, all that. And my big dog is suddenly not interested in the world. It's impossible.
Starting point is 00:11:11 You have an extraordinary life, you tell your life. So it can't be anything else than good. Yes, of course. That's what fascinates me about humans. With your career, everything you've done, your talent... I'm still continuing. No, no! Anyone who's intelligent has stopped!
Starting point is 00:11:29 What's the point? It's a shame! You started out as a person, and now you're like, get out! Go away! You're like the peasants, you think you're gone, but you come back! Yes, of course! Don't say that, I'm not a good cuckold. But it fascinates me that after all you've done, you're still like, I'm not a big laugh, you bastard! But it fascinates me that after everything you did, you were still like,
Starting point is 00:11:48 I'm not sure if people will like it. It's for sure. But you must have a feeling. Did you ever do a show? The first time you did it, you were sure it would work. You were sure? Every time I was sure it would work, I was thinking. It's clear. Every time I did this, it's going to be the year's number.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Next year, check-in, I do it once, and then I throw it away. And all the shows of humor I did on TV, no matter how hard it was, often, there are things that we know will work, but there are always things that you say, it's not good, you try it, it works, the other thing you say, it's going to be weird, it doesn't work at all. That's what's absurd. For example, I told them in the temple, the guys, just for fun, who should have filmed the rehearsals, the backstage and everything, because there was so much brainstorming that the crowd said to me,
Starting point is 00:12:41 I guarantee you it's a hit, and it's all pros, it's all people, you've been doing this for 20 years, 30 years, and we have no idea. Our audience decides to fuck up, it's the audience. It's still a bit like that. Twenty years like here. Yeah. But the laugh is pretty democratic, you know, you do what, you hear them scream, you say, well, I thought it was fun, but they didn't.
Starting point is 00:13:02 In fact, I had a number here for a gala, a number here, it was for a gala, I guess. It was a comedy gala. I contacted my propus, it had dried. I started quietly. Well, I hope it's at 60-something. It must be dry at some point. No, but it's our resident... You have to get out of your tent.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yes, I know. Let them take some air, you little one! Yes! So our host, it's true that it happens. You get operated for that, it's not fun, but anyway... It's not a question of hygiene, it's something that happens. So we're sitting at the table, we're having a chum together, we're laughing, we're laughing, he tells us about an operation,
Starting point is 00:13:40 but the operation, we're laughing like crazy... Wait, is it your chum that he's talking about? Yes, yes, yes, it, it's Luc Sirois. He's not happy. He named him after him. Ok. Hi Luc. It's a guy who walks by himself.
Starting point is 00:13:59 And then, he tells us that... Oh, come on, he falls on him. He says, I didn't ask for anything. I'm going to take a beer, I'm listening to a podcast, I'm going to learn that I have a dry breath. No, he had it, he could have. Yeah, okay, but anyway. And then someone says, hey, Patrick, I'm doing the number and count it, like it happened. We write everything he says, we laugh, we laugh, we laugh. I test it here.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I start telling him, he laughs, he says, the balls are not going to work, it doesn't sound good. And then I start telling him about the surgery. It's not going well in the room, you know. And the surgery, and it didn't go as well in the room. And at the end, he told me about the quality, and he came to see me and said, Patrice, your number, it was current, but from the surgery, I was shocked. The surgery, it hurt me, I almost had no knowledge.
Starting point is 00:14:36 And it was the case for almost everyone. So we cut it, because me, during my whole career... We cut it. He cut it. Well, yes. So in the number... It's in Finisec. So we changed it. But yes, I listen to the bye-byes, when I had live bye-byes, we didn't even do
Starting point is 00:14:47 a rehearsal in front of the world. The numbers of Galat, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, all of them, 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, was less humor, too. So, everything that...
Starting point is 00:15:48 No, but... No, but it's true, there was less. There was less. There was less of a show. When the bye-bye arrived, it was like hot cakes. But you were good on tape, right? We didn't test anything, that's for sure. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:58 That... Your first bye-bye, you had... Was it in 22 or 24? My first was in 28. 28, okay. That's it, yeah. My first one was in 28. 28, ok. That's right. It wasn't live, but I did two. The first one was in 1990.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Was it with Yves Jacques, the first ones too? Yes. Yves Jacques, Dominique Michel. We'll come back to you, we won't be there. Oh yeah? That's it? Oh yeah. We'll come back to you, we'll talk to you.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Who else was there? There were a lot, Domin. There was Dominique Michel. I'll tell you later. I didn't listen to him. He took more than 105. There was Pauline Martin. René Simard. There were a lot of others.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Do you have something you would like to do? A bye-bye? Yes, I would like to do? A bye-bye? Yes, I would have liked that. In fact, I did it one year ago. It's the year Louis Morissette... It's the year they killed the bye-bye. José and I were making a little cameo. We were making the Emileur brothers, who had bought at the time TQS.
Starting point is 00:16:58 And they made money in India. It was true, it wasn't a sketch. It really happened. But not true, it was an ordinary sketch, and all the bye-bye was ordinary, but I was so happy to participate that I think I would have played anything. It's a bit of what I did elsewhere, but I would have liked to do one like back then. When it's still kamikaze to say, we prepare a number and we present it ourselves. Because what was hard was that... Where's the patient?
Starting point is 00:17:26 You know, the bye-bye at midnight is the New Year. You have to be there at midnight. So we... I should explain the principle of the New Year. No, no, no. Wait. Wait, I'm going to take notes. Yes, yes, yes. Take notes.
Starting point is 00:17:38 You do it at midnight. Oh yes, yes, yes. Don't fuck with me. Yes, yes, yes. Sometimes even before everyone. Yes, yeah, yeah. You're going to be pissed off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes even before everyone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you don't know if it's going to laugh. There were things to write, but you didn't know if people were going to laugh.
Starting point is 00:17:53 So you put some stock because if it doesn't work, you don't have to get to 1,000. If it doesn't work, you have to do... Okay, let's do the countdown. 56! 55! 54! Oh no! Oh no! I was wrong! It had to start at 59! 59! 56, 55, 54. Oh no, oh no, I was wrong, we had to start at 59, 59, 58.
Starting point is 00:18:10 So there, we were running between the scenes, there were three scenes, and we were running and we had each director following us, saying, OK, this sketch is cut, you start with this costume, your first line, that's the thing. But if it's cut, it's going to be a disaster. It's funny, we cut after 20 minutes in the first hour. Live? Ok, sometimes you cut live. It was all live, Mario.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I understood, but it's funny because you were rehearsing for two months. You were missing that sketch. He was telling us, cut it, cut it. The first bye bye in the middle of the night, it looked like he had a crisis. Yes, you were the one who did the sold out. No, no, it was Dominique Michel. You were the lasagne? Yes, I was the lasagne.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Hey, we're going to put you in a nasty mess. Beautiful stories on TV. The OOF presents you the new one. So, I was in a... Hey man, I'm on the side, I can move a lot, I'm sick. Hey, I didn't dry all of that shit. So, I'm on the 4 wheel drive and people don't... But here it's on a wooden platform that's not very stable.
Starting point is 00:19:24 And here it's the bye bye. I'm 30 years old, I'm going to give it to you. I give the platform a go backwards. The guys, the technicians, they were all, I was about 20 feet in the air. The technicians stayed on that for a good year and they held the platform. And when you see the takeoff, you see I go, the platform goes backwards, the wheels in the back, they fall into the void. And as I gave gas, I went boom, I bounced back. Here I come back, I go down, and then Dominique Michel,
Starting point is 00:19:46 who plays the soldat Cloutier, because there was a face-to-face... I explain that for the younger ones, I'll come back, you two, it won't be long. And there was a face-to-face with the soldat Cloutier who had remained impertinent. He had tried to provoke him, anyway. So I come back like that, but then the world rises. When we were rehearsing, there was no one in the room. The director is about 50 feet away from me. And then he tells me, when we were rehearsing, there was no one in the room. The director was about 50 feet away from me. When we were rehearsing, he said,
Starting point is 00:20:07 OK, in five, four... And then I came in and he yelled, Happy New Year! But then everyone was exhausted. He said, there's no room. I didn't hear him. And there was no room to go. He went through.
Starting point is 00:20:16 We didn't see him because the camera was in front of us. He ran away. Tomorrow, he had the timing. And everything he did, he pitched and he hit me on the foot. I said, it must be the cue. I said, good year, we got right on it. Wow! Yes, that's great! Wow!
Starting point is 00:20:30 Wow! You know that the soldier Cloutier, the real soldier Cloutier, I did my recruits courses in the army with him. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Patrick Cloutier is a chum. Listen, the number of times we stole beers from guys at Dagobère together... Yeah, we went to the Sunday, holly holly, you know, Dagobère, it's a big party.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Click, pow, I got what he was drinking. But we lived in... Why did we just make a kevin's tune? Well, because... You stole beers, we... I didn't say I put my grain in a beer, I stole beers. Hey, he stole his beers with we... I didn't say I put my grain in a beer. I stole some beers. He stole his beers with his penis. That's my fault.
Starting point is 00:21:18 No, well... I do it, but it's not that it dries. No, it's really good. I don't look at it if it's a beer. I go... It's a question of survival. It's a question of hydration. You have to be hydrated. You know, the young people who listen to us, it's important to be hydrated from the bat.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I wouldn't say the same, but it's not bad. Anyway, yes, I helped in the army with the solderclub. It's not true. He's a nasty guy. We had fun laughing with this guy. And he found himself one day or the next day because with the soldering iron. He was a nasty guy. We had fun laughing with him. He found himself one day because of the OCA crisis. A Vedette. He even made a porn movie.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I don't know if it was porn or porn. He was a Vedette. He came from the Gaspésie. He never had that attention, and the next day, he becomes a hero because he held on to the Zing during the crisis in the Oca crisis. So he kind of got away from it. And then, you know, after that, he came, he fell into the hell of porn after the break. But now he's doing great, I think he's working on construction now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:23 There's an excellent podcast that Jerry did with him. Really? Yeah. He didn't... Because every time we say he did a porn, he didn't undress, he didn't do anything. He just did a cameo in the porn. Okay, he was a cameraman. No, it was just cameos, so he had to be dressed as a soldier.
Starting point is 00:22:39 He was a figure skater. Yeah, he did cameos. He was just sitting. You want to know when it's going wrong? You make a movie for us and you stay dressed. It's not going well. With a helmet on. Listen, you have to be dressed up. When you're at home, it's going to be funny.
Starting point is 00:22:54 The guy will come and he's like, I'm going to lift my scarf. I have a lot of images. You, your shirt, you're going to get my scarf back. I have a lot of image. You just threw it on the show. He was very passionate about his show. His text is already written. He's written real lines.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Thank you very much. I just heard the great things. And as I told you at the top, I'm so sad that your poster would make me cry. It's so innocent. You saw it, but it's you with the moon. There are many pictures of people who want to make a selfie, who are holding the tour de Pise. There are many, but the moon is there.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Look at me. but he's proud. It's a bit my life, always just a little bit on the side of the track, you understand? The guy wants, he thinks he wants, but he's always a little bit on the side. When we got the idea of this poster, because it's a real photo I saw on Instagram, of a guy who does like the handsome guy, and there he asks someone else, or he's the one who does it, I don't know, but he takes a picture and cries because he's proud. But the moon is completely off. I did it, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:12 I wanted to call the show Champion. But more like Champion. That's what you did? Yeah, that's what you did. Like, bravo Champion, a little off the track. And I'm glad you like the poster, I like it a lot too. And the pictures, where did you take them?
Starting point is 00:24:26 We took them not very far from Mont-Royal. It's an apartment. It's going to be interesting again. But no, it's someone from the group Entourage who asked, Hey, we need a kind of... It's coming. Wait! We're on the roof of a building not far from Mont-Royan.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It's not your fault, it's the question. You don't have a choice. Finish the question, you know. Listen, it was a room where there was, before, a desk. The guy decided to make renovations, he's going to make a studio in there. But no... It's not you guys, I had a big week. It's nothing to do with you guys. But we took that, it's a not far from the plateau. Not from Mont-Royal actually. Did you have...
Starting point is 00:25:08 Sometimes, he said, Nanon, you really have it. Yes! He said, Mario, you're too high up. You're too high up. But we added it in editing so it would be exactly how we wanted it to be. Because if you don't want it, you do it anyway. And then he said, OK, put your hand a little more to the left,
Starting point is 00:25:24 a little more to the right. Well, I want it, but we did it in my time. And then, your show, that's it, it's your third solo. Yeah, third solo. So your fifth... your fifth tour. Exactly. Do you feel that after, you know, like there, there you must be so comfortable and confident and not stressed about doing... It's possible, it will work.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I'm in the mood for fun because the first two, the first two in Montreal and Quebec, have passed. I've had some great critics, but the week of the first two, I wanted to die. The very morning, I'm not going to lie, I was thinking it wouldn't be very edifying, but I was crying in my room at home. And then Marc Gélina, my teacher, wanted me to...
Starting point is 00:26:05 I was there when you talked to him. Really? I was rehearsing with him. And he said... I went out. No, I felt that it was not going to work. No, it's true. I went out. I saw him. I left for 15 minutes. There was too much stress.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I was there in my bed in the morning. And I said to myself, Christ, why am I still being subjected to this at 54 years old? Why am I doing this? Why did you do this at 54 years old? Maybe you did it at 35 years old. Why did he do that at 54? He was probably 65. Imagine if I did it at 64! But... No, but not really. He just wanted me to...
Starting point is 00:26:32 You know, the intro number, which is super fun, he wanted me to do it one more time so that we could have it on camera for TV interviews. He said, I'd like you to do it before the audience comes, on the first night. I call him on the morning of the brand, it won't be possible. I need all my luck just to deliver the show tonight, I don't feel attacked.
Starting point is 00:26:51 And I was nervous, but it was very good. And I'm glad it happened. The stress is a lot at each tour. You say, well, the night of the critics, we don't do that for the critics, but if you don't want to be that nervous. What would be the critics? it, it's annoying. Would you be a critic? No, not really. I'm really lucky because of them.
Starting point is 00:27:12 If I have bad critics, I know they will do it. Check the critics, they are jealous. Once again, journalists try to bring down Mike. Let him go! Let him go! You're all like the little shirimi! Yes, yes. But the critics were good and the show was fun. It's fun to play, but I think it's you, I heard you say that at some point,
Starting point is 00:27:42 that it took 500 solo shows to say at one point, I really found myself alone on stage. And I would tell you that it took me about that to say, OK, I don't do the syndrome of the... Don't listen to him! I'm tired. I had 35 shows of performance before my premiere. You have 8 million TV shows behind the scenes.
Starting point is 00:28:03 It's not the same. You had several One Man Show when you were a kid. I'm talking to you! I can't see! That's the fun part. I'm proud of you. You're doing me so good. It's been years since everyone said to you, why don't you do a solo show?
Starting point is 00:28:28 I've heard that before. I used to say that to myself. You're not reliable. But when I said that... He's an electronic. I don't even know if he exists. You have a typical career compared compared to what we do. I'm just giving you compliments.
Starting point is 00:28:48 It sounds like a compliment. It sounds like a compliment, but... So you do things, you say, no, it's the end of your career. No, it works in a big plus after. And when you say, yeah, do that, it will go well. No, no, no, not everyone can give you names. It didn't work. But I think it's not going well,
Starting point is 00:29:07 because they don't do the job, and you, I see you do the job. I'm trying to force it. No, no, no, but... You know, it's a real transition. Yes, yes, yes, I'm not joking, but I'm working, and I'm happy to be nervous. I don't remember a show that worked,
Starting point is 00:29:24 that I did, and I wasn't on the tap before. I like stress. It stresses me out, but it stimulates me. Oh yes, stress is a good thing. I wouldn't be crying in the evening, but I like it. I'm not against it. It's the same thing. I have thing. I'm used to it. I'm used to it. It's terrible. So if someone says, I had a cancer tumor,
Starting point is 00:29:52 you're like... I have two weeks left. It's clear. I saw a report on Le Repaire, and I thought, that's what I've. And not just that, that's what I've had for two weeks. OK, but does that make it worse? It's a mess, the repase.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Yeah, yeah, no, but that... It reminds me of the day before. I was wondering where you got it from two weeks ago. I got it from there, because you don't want it to dry out. But is it worse as an aging don't want it to dry out. But is it worse in aging or is it less worse in aging? It's the same. Everything is the same. I had the chance to play with great, great, great artists. And it was the most nervous before entering the stage.
Starting point is 00:30:39 He was terrified. But I know they will. That's what I was going to say, Mr. Deschamps. Dominique Michel. I'm going to call That's what I thought. Mr. Deschamps. Dominique Boucher. I'm going to call him. You're saying Mr. Deschamps. I'm like... No, but you know me better than I do.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I don't think so. No, it's not that. I'm telling you, it's in two weeks. I might die on Friday morning. I don't know. I was looking forward to playing, but I was especially looking forward to it being over. Let's say just going to have fun. But it was even the first night because often the first night is colder because there are
Starting point is 00:30:56 journalists and there are a lot of people. 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 00:31:04 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I was also looking forward to it being over. You know, I was just going to have fun. But it was even the first night, because often the first night is colder, because there are journalists and there are tickets for the industry. But it was sick. By the way, I played not far from here, in the Pierre Merqueux room that I knew. It's weird, I loved it. I had never played there. The first theater show I did was with the Théâtre Populaire du Québec.
Starting point is 00:31:22 It was a theater that did tours in Quebec. Since there was no theater in Montreal, we played five nights at the Centre Theatre, which is an English theatre in Montreal. We played in French, but in an English theatre, so the critics came, but even the English critics came, we did five nights, and then we went on tour all over Quebec. The critics came out in the English newspapers, at that time there were only a few, the next day, and they said, the show was disgusting. And I remember, it was, the best on stage performance is that of Patrice Lécuyer. The best performance on stage is Patrice Lécuyer.
Starting point is 00:31:50 The critics come out on Saturday morning in the French newspapers. They are being demolished. It's the worst molier that has ever happened in history. And the worst is Patrice Lécuyer. And the worst thing is that my mother told me about it several years later. My father is sitting at the kitchen table. and at the time it was paper newspapers. So he bought all the newspapers and was happy to have the critics out. So there were all the critics at the kitchen table.
Starting point is 00:32:12 And I had the opportunity to talk about it. My mother went into the kitchen and my father looked at my mother. He took off his glasses, his eyes full of water and he said clearly, what did we do wrong? And since then, what I find hard for the artists and for me, the bad critics, it's the world around you. You're not worse, you're still hot. But it makes children, friends, table tennis, your parents...
Starting point is 00:32:39 For us, it's harder to criticize. I think today it has less impact. We have given it a lot of importance, but I think that... I told you earlier, it's the public who is complaining. It has no impact, but we have... It's super important. And I have a business. Often, people say, I won't do the first media show.
Starting point is 00:33:01 And I would say, there's something I like about the first media show. I would say there's something I like about the first media show, but I think for this next show, I would almost like to do a last media show. When you're drunk. And the last show, so if it's shit, we'll stick together, it's over. Oh, I like that! Hey, that's a good idea, man! And then, if it's good, you can put you can post it on YouTube or on Netflix or on Crave and then you can get some critics from the newspaper, since it's going to be better than...
Starting point is 00:33:33 TVA will say it's the best, but... But in English, you're a genius. Yeah, ok. Oh, that's a good idea. And it's never been done before. Yeah, well, the problem is the producers, they'll say. They say the first one is because it talks about shows. When you sell 28 at the Berruchot, you're in the bag of critics. He says that, but we did his first one.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Yes, that's it. But you're doing well. Yes, it's going great. At the beginning, the first shows, I spent my life with Josie. And the first show, which was called Alone Like a Big, sometimes I was really alone like a big in the room. But for real... But, damn! At the beginning, I was walking with the wind in my face, in Tabarouet, but... Did the crowd come out in the room?
Starting point is 00:34:17 Where is Josée? Josée... Josée was coming. Where is the little horse, no hair? Where is she? But... No, but... Do you see, we were talking about the critics. The first show, all my solo shows, I was very lucky, but the first show, the critics were 10 tyrants. And then you say, you bastard, we're selling, sell.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Not so much! But you know, it was good, but we really worked. And I felt that I had to prove that I had my place on stage alone. And I had to prove it to the industry. And then, you know what? I proved it to myself. To say, do I have the right to prove that I had my place on stage alone, and I had to prove it to the industry, and then I proved it to myself too. To say, am I entitled to do this? Even if you asked Patrice later, after so many years, he was still afraid to know if people would like that,
Starting point is 00:34:54 but I had the same question when I left alone after spending a little over 20 years with Jules Santot. But that's magic to live that, I think, for a human. You know, because your first... You're a preacher. No, but... I'm going to save you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Yes. And they don't know, but they're all our disciples. That's it. We're only going to ask you for 20% of your salary, okay? You're a beautiful human, Mike. It's zero stress. No, but Mike... Mike...
Starting point is 00:35:32 You... Hey... I just want to tell you that... There's even an excerpt from the blue pocket that went wrong. I didn't mean to... Don't do that, don't do that. Don't go there. They'll take it off, they'll take it off. Don't listen to what they write about you.
Starting point is 00:36:00 You're a beautiful person inside. Thank you. I look inside, hey'm like, hey! It sounds beautiful! I say it often. You have a beautiful smile on top of it. I had it for years. We thought you were uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:36:17 No, I'm not. And you have a... Your nose is going down. You know, when you asked me before the podcast where we sit, sit down. It's going to be... Put me aside. It's equalizing.
Starting point is 00:36:35 It's funny, you made me realize. Before, I wasn't really comfortable when people touched me. It doesn't seem like it. Now, you look very good! Hey, it's Ridley, my guy! It's 2011, you know, I was... Oh, I'm not close enough, I'm going to fire Rain Man. It's...
Starting point is 00:36:56 But just before the moment of tenderness you had, I liked that, I'm the only one who's screwed. But... But I... No, but not true, we were talking about... I put that in, I'm the only one who's screwed up. But... No, but not really, we were talking about... Don't touch me! We were talking about... What? When you want. But for real, Mike, you're talking about a cult,
Starting point is 00:37:15 I'm sure a lot of people are getting in there. Well, it's not bad. No, but... Hey, thanks for applauding! The witnesses... Wait! We call that Mike's witnesses, okay? Every Sunday, we knock on doors and give vodka bottles to people.
Starting point is 00:37:28 I'm in. You're in. He's going to let you in. I don't know where we... We're in. No. But leaving a cult is something that... We could leave the disciples of Bacchus.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Yes. It's people who take a hit. Yes, Bacchus, the god of wine. The god of wine, that's it. The idea is to have a tax, if it's a religion, a sect. It's true. You have a tax, the world gives money, and we buy a drink. It's exactly the same as the tax.
Starting point is 00:38:00 You could be the great Bacchus. We would be the little Bacchus. Yes, little Bacchus. Little Bacchus. Down the ass. And the others, we would be the small ass. Yeah, small ass. And the bottom of the ass. We could do that. But everyone, to be part of the cult, you need to have a brandy nose. We work hard. I'm 2 years less than an active member.
Starting point is 00:38:20 That's for sure. Speaking of alcohol, I'll take some water. Take mine, I didn't drink it because I have alcohol. I'm not sure I I'm sure. Talking about alcohol, I'd take some water. Take mine, I didn't drink it because I have alcohol. I'm not sure I put you in there. It's the same thing. You take a little break of alcohol before your show. Yes, 5 months. Stop drinking for 5 months.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Now you're 4 months late. We're going to have a Christmas in Venice. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, But at some point, we clicked, we went to the supermarket together a couple of times. He came to our place, I went to theirs. And the first time I went to theirs, I brought a gift of OTS, I arrived with three bottles of wine. And in my head, it was good wine, but it was bad wine. And then, Patrice, let's say a couple of months later, comes to our place, he arrives, I open the door, there is a wine box, and wine, champagne, and if you're sick, door, there's a wine cellar. And wine, champagne, and I'm like, you're crazy! Well, let's have fun.
Starting point is 00:39:28 We're going to have fun. Let's have fun. Listen, I have stories with him. One year we were in France, okay? It turns out that our families, we took, let's say, two weeks together somewhere in a house we rented. Patrice is not't far away. And we said to ourselves, we should meet up for dinner.
Starting point is 00:39:51 We met up. And it was a place where the rosé... Listen, it was cheap. It cost like 12 euros for a bottle of rosé. And we met up. Listen, it was hot. I don't remember being hot in my life. Well, let's say the girls are worried and say, Do you want to I don't remember being hot in my life. Well, let's put it this way, girls are worried and they say,
Starting point is 00:40:06 Do you want us to make some cheese? No, no, no. We're taking care of it. We're taking care of charcoal. Don't forget to say that we're with the one who releases the Black Book, Gaston Le Parle. Gaston Le Parle, yes, yes, he's there. So, I'm at the pool, but we stop cooking the steak. The girls come to see us and say, it worked, yes, yes, it's going well. Give us the time, we don't waste so much time on vacation. You forgot to say that we started drinking around 10.30 in the morning. yeah, it's fine. Give us some time. We're on vacation.
Starting point is 00:40:25 You forgot to say that we started drinking around 10.30 in the morning. Oh, yeah, he understood. It's been about half an hour and 40 minutes since we started cooking the steak. And he's not ready. So the girls come in and say, Hey, hey, we're on vacation. Stop being so annoying. We can't give you a record. We realized we didn't have any gas in Chaco. Oh, damn, that's funny. That's hot. We're not a Mr. Sun! Mr. Sun is here too! Listen, and now we drink, we drink, we drink, listen, we drink wine, and it's a place where all the parking lots are like that, you have to climb a kind of slope.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Yes, it's like you're on the mountainside, and your parking lot is up there. Exactly. And then, at the end of the evening, I go with Patrice. And Gaston. And when we talk about it, I grew up watching them play in the pro league. I was taking a brush with my two favorite players from the LNI. We were going up the hill and I was brushing Gaston Lepage. He said, I've never been the same as my dad.
Starting point is 00:41:38 But it's Gaston Lepage, man. And he was there pushing He was pushing us to go up! And he said, I'm dreaming! I'm dreaming! And I was like, wow! I cut my head off with two half-idols! Man, sometimes I have teeth, I think about that trip.
Starting point is 00:42:01 But you know, Gaston is hot, it's funny, the crisis. Quite a bit of a monarchy. No, no, but Gaston is funnier it's funny, the crisis. Not bad in the bar. Gaston is more funny than everyone. We had fun. For me, it's one of my beautiful memories in my life. When I was hot. Even Major is funny.
Starting point is 00:42:18 After the 5 months, do you know what your first... It's going to be at your place. No, it's going to be... I'll help you to get in my room. And I'll stay on one floor. Can I stay here? Well, just like earlier, just look at you. I'll leave you to your moments.
Starting point is 00:42:41 No, no, no, I'm 65 years old. I'm going to do a show on tour. And they told me, it's just that, look, I'm 65, but I'm going to make a show to shoot, and then they told me, it's annoying, I'm doing shows, and then I said no, you're kidding, they put on shows Saturday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Friday, Sunday, Thursday. So, it's all... I'm doing shows in the afternoon? Yes. Oh yes? Yes, well, my audience.
Starting point is 00:42:56 But the worst... Yes, it's everyone, it's everyone. Everyone wants to be at the door. I do shows in the afternoon, too. I didn't want to at first. Then one day I went to see a show in the afternoon. It's really good. When the show is over, you go to eat.
Starting point is 00:43:18 You're not drunk. If you have a show at 8, you're not going to go to the super 5. You eat half. You're not here to go to the super 5-hour host. You eat half. You're right. But here, it's a great example of mess. There are shows at 5.30 at the end of the week. So it's not that bad. And it's all the younger people who tell me,
Starting point is 00:43:36 you're going to do two shows a day. You're going to be too tired. I'm going to have to get in shape. So I decide to stop drinking and train and be careful. But I think... It's not going to drink anymore, I need to get in shape. So I decided to stop drinking and I'm going to go home and I'm going to be careful. It's not all about the interest. We're going to applaud you. Excuse me. I think I'm the first one in the mess who's with Mike Warr
Starting point is 00:43:54 who said to stop drinking and got beaten up. But I think it's good if you felt you needed it. But at the same time, you know, there's... It's okay if you keep drinking while you're doing shows, Mike. But every time people say, you have to be in shape, you have to be in shape, I think of all the stupid humorists I've known who did big shows. You know, I did shows in English with a guy called Ralphie May who weighed 400 pounds. Why are you saying he weighed and he died?
Starting point is 00:44:26 Yeah, he died, but... You know, he was... It will be all! Oh yeah, yeah, yeah... It was a bit of a blow to my point. The world... I don't understand the world! He died 12 years ago!
Starting point is 00:44:44 Since he arrived, you die! We all went through that! But the 6 months he worked, he was there! At 10 years old, I realized that I should have closed my eyes. You didn't have an ambulance! I saw a guy... The ambulance drivers, laughing! Laughing with a pump and the guys laughing!
Starting point is 00:45:04 I had a show with a guy, I don't remember his name, in the time of ComedyWorks on Bishop, that's a small bar, it's like here, alleys that if you weigh 400 pounds, you can't go through. And the guy weighed 600 pounds. So he had to get on stage before the crowd came in. And to not be seen, he put a blanket over him.
Starting point is 00:45:29 So he was a gentleman. It's a good blanket anyway. It's two sleeping bags together. Ok, I'm not allowed to make this joke. But the poor guy, imagine your life, your life. For two hours, you're in a blanket and at the end, you know, you're in a blanket that covers a man of 600 pounds. It's not like magic. It's not like...
Starting point is 00:45:53 You know, it's not like... It's more like... And then it stuck because it was hot, you know? Poor thing. Yeah, yeah. I saw that one night and I said, hey you dickhead, we're going to stop eating bread. Was it good? It was really good. He played the guitar, he had a little guitar in his hands.
Starting point is 00:46:20 It was sure it was small. No, in fact it was a counter bass. It was just the small one, but it was a little one? No! The worst! Actually, it was a double bass. It was just the little one, but it was a double bass. The worst, I'm not sure, it was a real guitar. It was fun, the last show at the end of our career, the three of us. Super cool. That's the beauty of being me. It affects me a lot. When I hear people say, we can't say anything, I'm like, well, yes.
Starting point is 00:46:47 There's nothing that changes. You say the same thing. I lived through the time, we all said. Oh yes, no, I know. And that things shouldn't happen everywhere. I saw you in blackface on YouTube. In droves. I don't want to be the top. That, for example, your show, do you think it will grow old? It won't be long, I'm having fun with my olive tree.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Or is it a question for both? I never thought about that, but we would say, there are things that were not shocking two years ago, that now it has become the end of the world. When you put on a show, you think, Oh, in eight years, I don't want to... You can't talk about it, you can't think about it. I think you can talk about everything, it's the ballet you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:47:36 I think those who say, oh, he said it, he's going to... You can say, it depends on the way you talk about it. There are words you can't say anymore, that's for sure, it's very correct. It's That's right. It's not a problem. You just have to live in 2025. Exactly. And your first show will be in two weeks. You'll be on tour all summer. I have about 15 shows until the end of June. Then I'll start again in early August. I have 35 shows before the end of June. Then I start again in early August. I have 35 shows before the premiere in Montreal.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Do you want to know why you take a break from June to August? Are you going to do fishing? No, because I'm going to record my show if they play it. I thought you were going to go fishing. No, I would like to do that, but I can't remember. And after your premiere, where is it going to be? It's going to be at the Maisonneuve Theater. That stresses me out at the end because...
Starting point is 00:48:25 There was nothing bigger. No, but I grew up watching them sing and do shows. They were singing for three or four months at Maisonneuve. They were doing so many shows that he was behind a microphone. The end where he was on the floor, it started to... To be rusted. To be rusted To be used. And since there were dance shows that were being done, and you know, it was dangerous because it was like a...
Starting point is 00:48:49 Oh yeah. They cut the floor and gave it to Yvon Deschamps. You have to do shows to use the floor. Not a little bit. And I grew up watching that guy who was... I know I can't say that, but for me, you make me think a lot about Yvon Deschamps. You make me think a lot about him. Thank you, it's nice. No, it's nice. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:49:08 There's something... There's something... And then, of course, there are people who will say, «Eh, it doesn't make sense. Come and laugh. Eh, eh, eh. Well, I'm going to eat shit. » But no, but there's something that you say things that no one else can say. Yvon was doing that. Yvon, you went into his show, it started to stop, you went out of there, you stopped laughing, and when you didn't laugh, it's because you weren't able to anymore, and when I see you in the show, it's really that, there's something, for me, you're two great masters.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Well, thank you, it's really nice. But, that, yeah, thank you, it's really funny. So, there, but thank you, it's really funny. So, now, you... And I'll tell you, as someone said to Michel Tremblay, how is it to be so extraordinary on stage and also so insignificant in life? Did he say that to Michel Tremblay? Did he say that to Michel Tremblay? Someone who knew him said, how can you describe such extraordinary things and also so cave in life and everything?
Starting point is 00:50:03 And it's fantastic. You're like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In life, you're like... And he comes to the stage, and it's just amazing. That's what I think. It's true that there's a personality on stage that's very different from the one in real life. Yeah, because he's thin in life. No, but he's a generous guy, a's a sweet guy, he's a shy guy. You don't believe it, but it's true, you're shy in life.
Starting point is 00:50:28 But it's because on stage, if you're shy on stage, it's weird a little bit. Especially with my kind of humor. There are some kinds of humor that you can be shy about, but it's weird to do dreamy humor and do like, Oh, sorry. Yeah. That's it. It's, hey, uh. Well, that's it. Well, you're not even, you're not even the most dreamy. There's people from Des Bigeon,
Starting point is 00:50:52 you're not even the most famous. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, with Mr Deschamps, but I think we accept that because we feel that the background is good and true. You understand the second degree, you know that it's the character who's on stage who says the obscenities and atrocities sometimes, but it's because we know you're not like that and you're the character on stage. You can do everything you want, you can say everything you want, except give an interview and the title is I think everything I say Yeah that's it I'm not sure you got that one right Yeah exactly I have the right to say it The cook said
Starting point is 00:51:34 The cook said I'm like Ivon I'm like Ivon But He just didn't finish his sentence It was like Ivon going to the market. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Hey, Yann, how long has it been? Not long. Do you have any questions? No, it's just that I like it. You know, we always end up with questions, but sometimes I like it when I have big names, I have questions before, because I feel that people are curious about your lives. Often, they ask questions that I wouldn't have thought of. They wouldn't have thought of them, okay.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Do they have any more? Yes, they have some. They have a batch. Take the second one. We'll cut it anyway we cut it for good. It's going in a lot, obviously, yes. It's going in at once. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Oh, there's another one that just came in. No, that's for the show earlier. Marc-André asks, Patrice, what are the best anecdotes that happened to you in a bye bye? The best anecdotes? Listen Marc-André, I'll tell you... Well, it happened to me, I remember. Listen, the first bye bye in live, they came to see me in the lodge to tell me that there was no bye bye. What? What time is it? It's 10.30. The show is at 11.00. The director wants to see you.
Starting point is 00:53:10 I'm going to see the director. He says, Listen, Dominique had a heart attack. You're kidding me. No, I'm kidding. He almost died. Oh yeah. But it's true. And then I'm going to see him. And then it's 6 p.m. with the the ambulance and all, and there was no Bible.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I said, listen, I'm 30 years old, I have to go tell the world, 4 million people, there will be no shows. Dominique is sick, they will laugh, it's the Bible. No, no, she's really sick, they will laugh at her. I laughed, I laughed, and finally it was a crisis in Angola. Finally the show took place, but can you tell me something? I went home, the show is on. But can you tell me something? I'm in Triches. I wasn't there. Oh yeah? I wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:53:47 I was thinking, I was thinking, it's crazy. I thought it was going to be about Dominique who did, haha, I got you. It's a good taste. It's like, you're a jerk. But that, hey that, listen, one day I'm bringing a TV show to Banff. Okay? And there's the guy from Monty Python, what's his name? The actor who's here. John Cleese.
Starting point is 00:54:08 John Cleese is a monster of British humor, he's extraordinary. I'm going there, I'll tell you quickly. I'm going there with... You can count it there. I'm going there... Between the two of you, go. Wait, was it the month of... No, it was the month of March. Between the two of A? No, it was the month of M. Between the two.
Starting point is 00:54:26 And I go there, my blonde comes, we have a girl, we bring our guardian with us, with her. We are in the hotel, it's going to be great, we eat together, I go, I go to the lobby and I hear, there are helicopters, the GRC are all there, and I hear them panicking, I don't understand what they're saying. I go through my roof, I go into the woods, I come back, I go to my room, I point my room, I make a message, I point my phone and I have a message. I call my assistant and she says, «Patrice, if you're okay, call me right now.»
Starting point is 00:55:19 She wasn't sure if she was going to have her peace. Her check was not going to be his pay. It was his pay. His check wasn't going to be paid. So I called her and she said, are you ok? She said, yes, because the GRC is looking for you. What? I said what? The GRC is looking for you? But she said, the phone of your guardian, someone who weighed 9, 9 is 911,
Starting point is 00:55:38 it must be my daughter who played with the phone and weighed 911, and in that corner there are grisly who attack the world. So they pass by. I know Mrs. Moroney. They call Mrs. Moroney and ask her if she can come. So I was the host of the gala. There are people from all over the world who are there.
Starting point is 00:55:54 They say that the Brazilian guardian was eaten by a bear. And they search everywhere, everywhere, everywhere. For guardian boots. For guardian boots. So she says to herself, I search everywhere, everywhere, everywhere. For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for...
Starting point is 00:56:09 For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for...
Starting point is 00:56:17 For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... For... for... The So we walk and John Cleese, the famous Monty Python guy,
Starting point is 00:56:46 I feel good with the guy from the festival, you know. I tell my story, he makes a heart attack, he falls, bang! Wait a minute! The guy from Monty Python makes a heart attack, he goes... And there it's Blanc who is about 30 years younger, he goes... She screams... We're all around him, it lasts about 30 seconds,
Starting point is 00:57:04 and he goes... I got you! Damn, I was in front of him, She screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, she screamed, And she was finally dead! Hey! John Cleese made me laugh! I told everyone at the funeral! John Cleese made me forget about my guardian's mourning. Hey, last night I was doing the show and I was counting that, it was laughing! But you still saved her guardian, you know... That's a nice laugh. No, but you know, you made her come for two weeks. She made you eat before you called.
Starting point is 00:57:49 I had that in mind. That's what I thought in my head. You really thought that? Yes, in my head I had fun. I invite you to La Place on July 2. When you did your imitation of Claude Poirier, who was your character in the time of Paul Poirier, Claude Poirier, have you already met him? That's funny, Chris. Because you want to know if he liked that?
Starting point is 00:58:15 Yes! When I met him at TBA... From now on, we're going to finish your questions. When I was in TBA,, I would often meet him. How's the Tartis doing? He knows I'm doing radio. He did a lot of radio. His question was, how are the ratings?
Starting point is 00:58:34 How are the ratings? There's always a parking space in the neck. All the time. I've never seen him, but I think he sleeps all night. He must take a shower with he passes the parking lot. And he already told me in the corridors, I like it when you invite me, you treat me very well, not everyone has. In the past there was something called the breach, I'm not sure about the breach, but you treat me well.
Starting point is 00:58:56 So I keep that in my head, ok, that he likes it. One year ago, he invites Mr. Poirier to talk about it. And then Guy said, So Mr. Poirier, you've been victim of imitation for a number of times. Of all those who imitated you, is there anyone you didn't like? I never liked the guy with the big mouth, I know he didn't have any doubt. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I don't know what to say.
Starting point is 00:59:28 I'm hanging on to the first version that I like. Stay there, stay there. You're going to look at my naivety. It's true, I swear. Did you see him live or did you see him afterwards? I'm in the living room at our place. I'm looking at my child and he's saying, I was shit. He saying, I was a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:59:45 He said I was a piece of shit. And you should have thought that she was a piece of shit. I was sure. I was with my kids. He was going to say something nice about dad. We're talking about dad. Hey, the two big guys, I was a piece of shit. Okay. And I'm sure I'm going to meet them and they won't remember it. I had laughed.
Starting point is 01:00:10 I had some guys texting me asking if I saw Mr Poirier. I said yes, I'm watching him. I saw him. The big guys... It was a duo like me on the radio. Yes. Do you compare me to Yvonne? Do you have more respect for Yvonne when you're with her?
Starting point is 01:00:32 Just... Just because of that, I say... Yvonne... For Yvonne... She makes every meal... I just... You're the same. They are going to make a restaurant.
Starting point is 01:00:48 She is like... I'm not feeling well. I told you that you had to start a podcast. Yes. Is that something you want to do? Josée talks about it a lot, but I'm on the radio every day. I don't know where I'll find the time. Maybe if I lose my job, like Josée lost hers.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I'm joking, but... No, he lost it. No, no, no. It's Josée who asked me to ask this question. So... But... We often talk about it, and you know, because I work a lot and I don't look for additional work,
Starting point is 01:01:42 but there's something I can handle, it's that every time we work together, we meet, we have fun, Because I work a lot and I don't look for additional work, but there's something I can get at. Every time we work together, we meet, we have fun, as if we had worked together since forever. It's more than a co-worker, it's my brother, Jose. There's something that doesn't describe it. This chemistry, I see in his eye what he thinks. He starts a sentence, I can finish it, and it will never go away, I think. Did you meet? or high school?
Starting point is 01:02:07 In high school, yes. Well, we doubled the first year. No, no, no. We met in high school in Ville-la-Salle. And the same polyvalent as Stéphane Rousseau, the Cavalier de la Salle. When we arrived at Polyvalente, Stéphane Rousseau... Was it like two years later, or...?
Starting point is 01:02:24 No, Steph is... Five years? Five years, yes. Let's say four or five years. Because we have a tension in R1, Stéphane is tension in R5. And you know it's a duo... I told you already... We'll come back to that later too, don't worry.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Stéphane was in a duo at the time, at school. He was in a duo with a guy called Dominique Boudreau, it was called Boudroche Rosbotte. Okay! What a good name! Boudroche Rosbotte! What does that mean? Is it an inside? No, it doesn't mean anything.
Starting point is 01:02:55 We saw them go and when we got to school, we thought we'd like to do that too. It was the time of Ding and Dong and improv. We hoped to do that job, but that's when we met. There's no point in doing that. That's funny, I think about it all the time. Your 4-5 years younger than Stéphane, but when you're young, 4-5 years, he was like a gentleman. Especially Stéphane, he was... Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:26 No, but Stephane, he persevered. When you guys did the school, he was already a big star. It was incredible. Stephane was excellent, he was good at everything. But in high school, he was already a mega...
Starting point is 01:03:42 In mathematics, geography... Maybe not. But in everything else, he was good. But... But you see... The other guy from Rossbott... Who was he? It was Dominique Boudreau, who was also very familiar. He was two very handsome guys.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Stéphane is a handsome guy, but Dominique Boudreau was also very talented. He did imitations and it was a show like a monologue imitation. And both were good, but Dominique did something completely different and Stéphane broke with the career we know. And then the radio, you're on my... All my TikTok, one video out of two, it's you who makes phone calls. Who writes books, but they're all good. And the world is getting really bad. I can't believe I'm still doing this.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Sometimes at 54 hours, I do stuff. I did this at 16 with Josée in Les Sames du Soir because we didn't know what to do. But I'm still doing this. Sometimes we receive death threats. After you've done the trick? No, but during the trick, the guy doesn't know it's a trick. And I do a character, X, and I say,
Starting point is 01:04:50 there's one I do that's in a tele-work. His name is Simon Leschifflet. I'm currently in a tele-work. And then I do... I make him breathe. He sells sleeping machines. There wasn't a phone call that you could use to breathe. It's always the same pattern. The guy owes us a lot of money.
Starting point is 01:05:21 One day, he owed us 25,000$. He was a real man. He was ready. He told me the next sentence. He said, there are cases we never found for less than that. Oh, man! He told me that sentence.
Starting point is 01:05:44 I'm a fool because I know it's a sketch and it's not going to work. Did you get it right? Yes! Chris, we're live! Live! Oh yeah! But that's what I like about it. Before, on the radio, there were phone calls, but it was all the time.
Starting point is 01:05:59 You know, you felt like you had called 22 people and it was the best. But that's what I like about it. It's all with when the others are boarding too. It's like a gang phone call. Like we did when we were little kids. Exactly. It's really... We have information from the accomplice. That's why people sometimes wonder why...
Starting point is 01:06:18 It's the blonde who calls herself a chum. No, we have so much information from the interior. Your blonde wants to make a move. You, it's been a month chum. We have so much information about the interior. Your blonde wants to give you a shot. You've been waiting for a month for your heat pump. You know that he's coming on Wednesday. I was thinking that he's going to be late and he has supplements. I have a lot of information. It's for sure that the guy is going to use it in two seconds.
Starting point is 01:06:41 I wonder if sometimes, let's say the blonde or the chum is next to you, and then he hears you pump and says, maybe I made a mistake. I wouldn't have killed... You know what we do? We make sure now because at the beginning we didn't know what we were doing, and then we saw that it worked, so we kept doing it. Hey, there are shots on TikTok. I didn't even know we were on TikTok.
Starting point is 01:07:02 It's Sébastien Trudelais who opened a TikTok account, and sometimes I get stopped in the street by younger people. You are the man of TikTok. Yeah, yeah. I swear, I don't have a name. I'm the man of TikTok. But my TikTok, for real, it's you, it's recipes, and it's the guy who says, I saw Quebec or I don't know what. It works in a barouette, but I'm going with that.
Starting point is 01:07:32 But anyway, we have a lot of stuff from the inside, and I like doing that, I like it. It's crazy that it works. It's a lot of work, for example. You look happy, you know, like... I have the impression that the radio you're doing is less demanding than the time of the big guys. Since you didn't have time to write a bye-bye every day. We still write a lot because I have my moment, the world at Mario, and we're still on the gun in this show.
Starting point is 01:08:01 There are games where I'm always asked to do gags. But I love that, that's the fun part. But you know, the phone call, you have to write the Canva every day. But it doesn't change that we're like, OK, I'll go in with a 14.55 and we're there and we write it. But it's the price to pay to have fun afterwards, because we have fun, we laugh, we laugh. By the way, the other time, Patrice was coming to the station station, we shot a sketch together for something to come. And I said, at some point, I think we're going to have guest appearance. We're going to have special guests, cameos.
Starting point is 01:08:31 By the way, you should come and do a show. And we'll make you come in the gutter. And I don't know why, but Mike Ward is in the gutter for a reason. You understand? We're going to call Mike Ward. We're going to have Mike Ward on the line. But it tempts you! To go further in the concept, we thought we might have cameos of special guests from time to time.
Starting point is 01:08:50 And you, I saw, because in... That's it, I point out all my news in the TikTok room. But I often see excerpts of you in podcasts. I saw you did the Gang Show. You did Reg de Trois, is that the name of the podcast? Yes, Reg de Trois. And how is that for you? When you did the Gang Show, what city were you in? I was in Saint-Eustache.
Starting point is 01:09:20 I find the podcast extraordinary. It's like giving a book to two young people from Montreal and Quebec. They sit on a chair in the back and listen to something. It's crazy. No, but it's true, I like it because it's a... You don't have time constraints. You can say pretty much anything, but less and less because it's going everywhere. But no, I like it, that's for sure. You're not surprised that I say yes. They call me and he thinks I'm going to say no. Well, I'm always surprised when I see you.
Starting point is 01:09:49 You know, but... How do I tell you that? No, but that's a compliment. Oh, it's a compliment? No, but I tell myself, they're very lucky to have you. You know, like you did the character podcast. Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:06 What did you do as a character? I was a spy. Who was it? It was Guy Raymond. He was a guy who thought he was a spy. He had a fake earphone. He was convinced that he was working. He went to a party.
Starting point is 01:10:24 Guy Raymond is a spy. Guy Raymond is a spy. He was convinced that he was working and that he was a good person. Okay. Guirèmon Espion. Guirèmon Espion. That's it. And he doesn't make everyone say it because he knows too much. He knows too much. That's it. And it's funny because with Gilles La Liberté, who was doing it, he always starts saying,
Starting point is 01:10:38 listen, if we don't laugh, it's okay, because we see a lot and it's long and it's possible. So there he was making fun of me and then I asked myself, do I have to stop? I said, you don't have to worry about what. I like that, I like that, doing that is fun. But you know, the world, especially young people at the age of cure, the world wanted to animate games for me, and they wanted to do it for 15 years, pretty straight. But I... You're not straight at all. When you know it in life,, and I have the help of a guy who wants to make a compliment
Starting point is 01:11:06 to make a compliment. But one of the best numbers I think I've seen of presentations to Olivier is you two. Oh yeah, that's fun. When he says, at least my mother is not dead. It's violent. But I was screaming in my living room. It's perfect because. That was weird, that number. Because Mike, he said, I'd like to make a number with you, it would be crazy. I was screaming in my living room. It was perfect because...
Starting point is 01:11:25 That number was weird because Mike said, I'd like to make a number with you, it would be crazy. People are waiting for you. What a jerk! I'd like to make a number with you. Your imitation of Mr. André Mamarassi. I'm sure he did my job often. He does everything.
Starting point is 01:11:44 There are lines and lines. Anyway, he does everything, there are lines and heart lines, and he says, anyway, everyone is happy, Patrice, every time you talk, I just think of manners when I could kill you and get rid of you. The same thing happens, I laugh, I laugh, I laugh, it's fun, and then he says, after that, he says, it's you who gets me in, I open, there's nothing written. Well, I said, what? Well, he said, well, you'll write something, and you'll do the same thing. Because the beginning was really good. But when you did it, it was funny because I wanted to repeat it.
Starting point is 01:12:09 I thought it was better, for example, that it came from you, the insults. Because otherwise, it would have been insults. You know, someone who self-insults is never insulting. You were so generous that... You're so generous that......you're hostile. But it's a nice type of Bonhombre. What did you say? You're grey. What did you say? I said... There's nothing I didn't say.
Starting point is 01:12:34 You're full of amertum. And McDonald's. And you said the word? And especially amertum. I remember you saying... And you were explaining to me what the word meant. He was treating me with facts. He was treating me with facts. I don't remember what it meant.
Starting point is 01:12:50 And then he said, by the way, it means that. That's it, yes. And at the end, it was just... And it was the day... Olivier, it was the day of the Mother's Day. And he said, by the way, your mother is dead. Yes. No, no, no, he said, I don't have a joke. I. Good night! 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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no and do you remember in the first years, Patrick Huard, Martin Mathe, and he fought with a bottle.
Starting point is 01:13:29 It's nonsense. It's funny, really funny. It's a pity that we became friends. Yes. By scolding each other. The idea was to make a gala just for laughs, and I was doing it. And then I had... I think it was Laurent who said, I think you're funny when you talk. And then I had done, you know, it would be funny if we did a presentation, and everyone loves Patrice, And I hate him. Deeply.
Starting point is 01:14:05 And I hate him. And every time he's hungry, I just taste like Kohl, he's got a punch in the throat. You know, it makes me laugh. Someone who is aggressive for others. Every time he says something, I try to find ways to kill him and get rid of him. It's funny. I of him. I said, did you say something? In my head, I'm drowning in the water. I'm drowning you! Did you say that?
Starting point is 01:14:33 Did you say that? I think in my head, I'm drowning you in the water. It was horrible. You were saying that. You're violent! I remember, I talked to the gang I worked with. I said to them, he said that. I said, you're mother is dead, can you remember? They said, no, you can't say that, Patrice.
Starting point is 01:14:55 I said, no, you're a nimmer, I'm not correct. But there's an affair, for example, you told me 15 minutes before the investigation, did you tell your mother that you would die because my mother died. I said no. They called her and I didn't think about it. You know, at this age, you don't have anything against your son that you're so proud of. Since the beginning of his career, you're happy. You're like, ah, the journalists were right. Sure, in French! Sure, in French! Not the newspaper's asses!
Starting point is 01:15:34 No, no, it was funny, wasn't it? Yes, it was funny. It's one of my favorite moments. It's fun to see you trash. It's funny. It surprises you, because we've seen you so many times on Radio Canada. It's funny because when I was doing the Hellenic, I was pretty trash. I was very aggressive. But one day, the Hellenic, that's the problem. When you get too famous,
Starting point is 01:16:00 people will say, it's not the character they see, it's you. I remember, I came back about 10 years ago, and I did the same style as before. I was playing with a young actress, and I was about to yell at her. The audience was like, well, she's weird, what's she doing? They give her a break, and I was like, oh, that's not for me. Did you just do one night when you came back, or did you do a couple of nights? I did a season, 5 or 6 games. Okay, still.
Starting point is 01:16:27 You were doing improv at school. I did a lot at school. I went to CIG for a long time, so I did a lot. Was it a dream for you to go to LNI? For us, all this job was inaccessible. My parents were workers. We dreamed of it, but it was a kid's dream to say, it's going to die there. Then the opportunity came at some point.
Starting point is 01:16:52 But I never had the chance to play in Hellenic. But for real, Patrice was the player I liked when I was a kid. I saw him go and... What is it? It's like Pierre-Luc Funk. It's the same person. Do you find it? I say it often to Pierre-Luc Funk, it's the same person. Do you think? Yes. I often say Pierre-Luc. We look alike. I have pictures of me at his age. It's the same, except that I was thinner.
Starting point is 01:17:11 But otherwise, it's... No, it's true. So it's... I'm a bit... I was thin. You're thin. Listen, I told him, he doesn't believe me. I said, how much do you measure? He measures 5 feet 10, 11. In fact, I'm 6 feet 2. He weighs 145, I weighed 115. 115?!
Starting point is 01:17:27 3 inches more than him, 35 pounds less than him. In the end, Eleni is 115. Eleni is 125. Hey, listen to me. Start at the end of the show. Listen, start with the Frenchman, right? There are kids in the world's vision pub, P615, those little ones in Esty, you should have little arms. Listen, the leg was going down and it was expanding for the knee,
Starting point is 01:18:01 you know, like that. The elbows were the same, the shoulders were balls, two little balls, balls. I was a bit of an acne-prone young man. I was the first to have a brush in sixth grade. In that time, the brushes... In that time, the brushes... Did you have a break? No, no, the night. In that time, the arms, I don't know, your little little balls today. Did you break it? No, no, the night. No, you had steel balls.
Starting point is 01:18:30 I was the only one in school. So we played basketball, and there were guys who came in, they said, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come. Damn, Bardo! I had an elastic band going from one ear to the other, from one ear to the other. So I was talking and it was the elastic band. And at night I had a jaw, and it was so damn funny! It was disgusting. I think that when I took off my arms three years later, I spent the time doing that. It was so funny, it was crazy. But it must have been a pain, because at least the brushes would have added a hundred pounds
Starting point is 01:19:06 Hey, Yann, do you have any other questions? And in that moment, the body would have been much better Hey, do you have a second question? Because we answered a lot Hey, it's true, all of this is one question Hey, there was one more at some point, for sure! I forgot the question! It's been 45 minutes! All of this is coming to the bye bye! Oh yeah!
Starting point is 01:19:38 That's my moment of bye bye! Ok, let's talk about Blanche. Oh my god, yes. That's funny. The question for Mario, it's another heart attack. Yeah, but it looks like it comes from... Is it correct?
Starting point is 01:19:58 Yeah. I guess someone who pays attention doesn't answer you. Yeah, that's it. The question is from Simon. Hello Simon. Are there phone calls that went wrong or that people got mad after the phone call? No, there are some. At the beginning, there were two where we really got caught. The guy was listening to us.
Starting point is 01:20:27 So he pretended to be watching us. No, no, no. He knew and he said, you wouldn't have me. And then we heard each other echoing in the back. Because, let's say, he's a garage dealer. And in the garage, he was listening to us. So, well, I'm going to stop right away. I think you were listening. But for real, the average is very good because we have accomplices that I was talking about earlier. But sometimes there are less funny.
Starting point is 01:20:51 You know, the idea that we just described on paper, we think it's a good idea. But you arrive in time and the person is not great. And sometimes we find that we have an ordinary thing and it becomes extraordinary. Have you heard of Madame Zahraer lady? I don't remember. I'm Mrs. Fafard from Walmart Canada. The lady is waiting for her to buy an Air Fryer. She bought an Air Fryer at Walmart in Shawinigan. And now...
Starting point is 01:21:23 Ok, she's kicking in. Baguette! And she wants to get a refund and we kick her out and blah blah blah. Now, madam, we're not going to refund you. I've never seen a Air Fryer as dirty as this one. And then we write a line, I'm embarrassed to tell her, but I tell him the same thing
Starting point is 01:21:47 in English. I've never seen anything like that, ma'am. Have you shit in your air fryer? And she, we're one line at the same time. But she just clings to it. And then, all of a sudden, have you said Have you ever said I've shit in my air prior? And I said, No, madam, I never said that. Yes, you said that!
Starting point is 01:22:09 Listen, she said it about 50 times, I've never shit in my air prior. I had a stomach ache, so much I laughed. I had a stomach ache. Before my show, you know, I did a montage of this number. One and a half minute to put the audience in it before boarding on stage. It's the number of the air fryer. It's my favorite.
Starting point is 01:22:37 It's funny. I never shit in my air fryer. We wanted to make T-shirts. I never shit in my head right. Ah, how funny. It's funny, the joke. Yeah. Ah, it's funny.
Starting point is 01:22:56 Ah no, it was funny that lady. We caught her again. There are people in addition that we catch up more than once. Ha ha ha! And she, she gets trapped again the second time. She gets trapped all the time. There's one, her name is Patrick Macomot. It's been six times that we've hit him. I think I'm not the one who's going to beat him. He even talks about if he's a false priest, Christ. And then one day, the last Canva we called, I said, Listen, did we finish making you go through all my false priests? He said,
Starting point is 01:23:28 What are you talking about? Chris! On the poster, we can write whatever we want. So we wrote Patrick Macaumaux. There's another Patrick Macaumaux who calls him. He's convinced he's there's Patrick Macaumont calling him. And he's convinced that he's talking to Patrick Macaumont, and he's trying to know who's right. It's nonsense. It's true. Listen, it's funny. It's really funny.
Starting point is 01:23:56 It's funny, the crime. It's funny that it's funny. What did he tell me? He said, you, my esty, I'm going to tear your ass off, I'm going to drag your ass to the white line. He said, I'm going to drag your ass to the white line of Trois-Rivières until Quebec, my hostie. He said a phrase to me, I was like, let's go! It wasn't the first time you said it! He's perfect. Sir, I invited him to my show in Quebec. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 01:24:24 Did he drag your ass to Tro invited him to my show in Quebec. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Did he kick you out of your job in Quebec? No, but when I invited him, because he always says he's in the ju... I don't know what he does when he works. I don't have time. I don't have time, I'm working, I'm working. But I don't know what he does. But I invited him and when I was on the move, after the coup, he said it was a coup. I would like to invite you, Mr. Macaumaux, to my premiere, Albert Oussou in Quebec. Oh, I don't have time, I'm working. So I don't know what he does. I imagine him, big, big, thin, with a cap, a Big Bill shirt.
Starting point is 01:24:52 And of course he does dual changes. In my head, he does dual changes. I don't know. Anyway, that's it. That's funny. And now, you're going to have a new TVA show. I see you listen to it a lot. It started a month ago. Excuse me. You liked that a lot, you told me. Did you? It's the real
Starting point is 01:25:14 TVA show. I wasn't looking for a TV show, but the offer came and I loved the concept. We were surrounded by fake news. Why are you showing me saying fake news? Because you're next to me. No, but you know, we're surrounded by fake news. And we didn't know... Why are you showing off by saying fake news? Because you're next to me. No, but you know, we didn't know...
Starting point is 01:25:28 It's so well presented. Sometimes when it seems too real, it turns out to be fake. And when we think it's fake, it turns out to be true. So that's exactly the concept. Fake news. And there are four guests who are in front of a public like this, a hundred people. And you have to guess what's real. If it's true or not, it's funny., it's funny. Did you shoot your season? Yes, it's the TV show of 2025.
Starting point is 01:25:49 We did 13 shows in 3 days. Ok, a big scam! Yeah. But it's fun to do. It's a bit like here, we laugh. Sometimes it's so stupid. There was a fake Russian spy using a fake scrotum during the cold war to record conversations. A fake scrotum?
Starting point is 01:26:14 Yes, it's like a prosthesis. That's the news, ok? And then you have four guests, you have Fabien... I decided if it's true or not. Exactly. You have Fabien Crutier... You know where you recorded?? In the Glorios? You know? But, you know, what a bad idea!
Starting point is 01:26:30 Why would I have a false crotum if I could record someone? But Chris was right! Oh yeah? Yes! Yes! But Sona... I don't know how he did that... He should have said, it's the only place that will never check.
Starting point is 01:26:45 Do you have a microphone? I imagine. But where, for example, do you record it? I imagine it must be... Hey, don't bother the boys while we're talking about espionage. I'm just going to be a little... I'm just going to... You put your hands up.
Starting point is 01:27:03 Eat yourself when you talk! One, two, one, two, one, two! Check, check, check! Destiny, destiny! One, two! It won't be long until the guys are fat! But it turned out to be true, this news, and we can visit, we can see this thing, why am I showing it to you? But the...
Starting point is 01:27:26 The... The... Vantage! Yeah! You wish! But there's a espionage museum in Washington and it's exposed there. And that's Russian spies? Yeah, there was that.
Starting point is 01:27:38 Damn, it's weird! It's weird, huh? It's nonsense. So you have to wear linen pants. It has to be very thin. You don't have to have a frotting, I guess. For where you have the flannel down. For the sound to...
Starting point is 01:27:53 To capture more waves. Yes, yes. But it's fun to animate. I'm there for real. I really like it. I hope it will come back. But it's going great. And it plays... Wednesdays. Wednesdays until... From 7 great. And it plays... Wednesdays. Wednesdays until...
Starting point is 01:28:06 From 9.30. Until when? Until the end of the week? Until the middle of summer. And I'm happy because the first week was great, the listening sessions were great, the other weeks were good, but it's been three weeks since we've been against the Canadian in the series. OK, it's more them. Yes, they're eliminated! But...
Starting point is 01:28:26 But it's funny, huh? You know, I get the impression when you're a performer in Quebec, that the Canadians love you, but one day you're like, I'm getting pissed. But... Well, I'm making a group of people who don't mind that. Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah, that's true. But in the end, it's not fun.
Starting point is 01:28:44 But for real, you know that any show that's at the same time as the Canadian one, I'm not a group of people who don't mind that. No, no, no. In the past, it wasn't the case. But for real, you know that any show that is at the same time as the Canadian one in the series... There's no chance. It's going to be a long moment of solitude. Even, you know, like me, my shows the last few weeks, I was coming, it was people, I had tickets for six months, and I saw in their faces that they would like to be at home. I love you a lot, but...
Starting point is 01:29:09 Oh yeah! I don't want to miss the third one! I hope there's no first party! But it's true. It's true, hockey is stronger than anything. It's really a religion. In the time with Josie, we played the Olympia in Montreal. And it was the last competition of the 1993 Cup.
Starting point is 01:29:28 Listen, it was the big deal. And then people bought their tickets a little like you a long time ago. And then they get tired of us. They just want to know. And we stopped the show at the end of the show. We had like a blizzard in the backstage. But instead of telling us the text, they gave us the score. They just scored, okay?
Starting point is 01:29:42 They just scored. We did that throughout the show. Otherwise, scored, okay? They just scored. We did that throughout the show, otherwise the young people wouldn't have listened. I was afraid. I thought about it again this year. I thought, maybe there are people who have recorded the game. I'm always afraid to do it. I always invent a score. When I tell them, I'm here, I know there are... I always believe that Canadians are leading 6-0. So, they're happy.
Starting point is 01:30:13 And they won't look at their phone, we have a 6-0 lead. It's a good thing. You're like, unfortunately, the Capros came back and it's 4 to 1 for them. How did it end? Because there were 6 offices. Mike doesn't know that, ok. Exchange, I don't understand. Tariff, it's the tariff. Tariff, yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 01:30:41 Yann, how many questions are left? There are two or three more. Perfect. We had five in an hour and a half. It's going well. It's heating up. Patrice, it's Melissa who asks, Do you consume a lot of humor?
Starting point is 01:30:57 And if so, Yes. We all thought the same thing. Yes. Do you consume a lot of humor? Yes. And if so, what do you consume consume and which ones inspired you for your own perspective? Well, nobody inspired me for my show because I think the best Mike Ward is Mike Ward, the best Mario Tessier is Mario Tessier, the best Megan Brouillard is Megan Brouillard.
Starting point is 01:31:17 You have to do what you are and you hope that people will like it. It's the same thing with animation. There are people who impressed me with humor, but I can't say that when I was inspired by someone to do the same thing, it's the worst mistake to make. When you were writing your numbers, how did you write them? Did you say, because it's all that, it's the story of your life? That's all. You know, you did done shows with him, I've seen so many things. I tell him what happened with a TV, a lot of people, I can't count that on stage, but it's okay.
Starting point is 01:31:51 But for real, souping with him, you could just sit, listen to him, and four hours. But you know, there are stories. There's a good listening, but you have 900 million anecdotes. And all your anecdotes are like, oh, damn! We think we have a very quiet show business. Not really. I've been there for a long time. I've done theater, I've done TV, I've done humor, I've done... How long have you been doing TV, Pat?
Starting point is 01:32:32 For 45 years. Wow! 45 years, Paparwet! Bravo! There's not a lot of people who... No, I thank all those who applauded me. Yeah, yeah. No, but it's true. 45th sick. At the beginning, the lie detectors, I gave you an idea when I started, it was in 90s,
Starting point is 01:32:50 the lie detectors, there were 28 people in the room. And then, you had to compile the vote of the 28 people, because there were three stories. It took, each person was connected with a wire, a console, it took 34 seconds to compile the vote of 28 people. That was the technology at the time. And then we were like, wow, that's fast! 34 seconds! That's how I started making proverbs of Confucius and so on. Oh, it was just to make time!
Starting point is 01:33:18 You know, you have 35 seconds, you know what it is on television, 35 seconds. It's an eternity. Or it's go, go, go! So you tell someone, So, talk to me about your first show. They start talking about it, you say, OK, shut up. We're going to go vote. You can't do that.
Starting point is 01:33:33 So I had to do the problems. That's how the problems came. It's really an accident. And we did all the shows before it was on. And as often happens, I ended up saying, Hey, as I said, it's wonderfully Confucius! And then people, it was the first time they were sitting, they were like... And then there's a person from Radio-Canada who said,
Starting point is 01:33:52 a person who knew a lot about this, who said, Hey, we have to remove this, for example, it doesn't work. But we said, it doesn't work because people haven't seen it. So the first time we recorded at the end of summer, because it continues in September all year, the first time I said, like the saying goes, it's wonderfully Confucius! And then people applauded. There was a stand-up because people didn't know enough about the recordings. It's the end of the summer, because it continues in September all year. The first time, as we saw, the crowd was applauding. There was a stand-up, because the crowd didn't know the recordings.
Starting point is 01:34:08 So there are accidents that happen. Do you bring small things like that to your show? I don't know everything. I dare not say what's in the show, because I have about two and a half hours, and I'll keep an hour and a half. But wait, I don't do two and a half hours a night. Don't worry. I do an hour and a half, and then I'll do a few days. Then I take it off, I don't know, 20 a day, one night. I do one hour and a half, then I do a few days, then I take it off, I don't know, 20 minutes, I change it, and I'll see if people are interested.
Starting point is 01:34:30 And if there are 15 minutes left, it's because there's nothing interesting. I'm not worried, I'm not worried. Have you seen the podcast that made these lie detectors? No, I don't know that. There's a podcast that's exactly that. Yes. I didn't know. Is that in Quebec?
Starting point is 01:34:50 Yes, yes, yes, it's in Quebec. I was wondering if you saw it. Yann! Just to say that someone stole your idea. I'm sorry. There's another question that just came in. It's for Patrice. Would you like to start playing more dramatic roles on TV and in the movies? Yes, I could when I have the time, but I always say no.
Starting point is 01:35:13 Because when I... You're busy like that, man! I'm very busy. Very busy. I can't. No, no, it's not that. I don't have time, I'm working. Yes! I'm working, I don't have time, I'm working! I'm working, I don't have time! You don't have to be a red-ball either. I'm on TV and I've been drunk for a few years, so I could do it.
Starting point is 01:35:31 But for years, I refused everything because we saw each other 52 weeks a year. Sometimes we saw each other 4 weeks. You played in a T9, didn't you? Yes, thank you. Yes. You were good. By the way, a TV show was embarrassing to ask. I don't know why. He said, because it was a little bit of a role. I said, perfect.
Starting point is 01:35:48 That's the only reason I'm going to say yes, if it's a little bit of a role. So it was perfect. I played the chum of Marie-La Montaigne. Oh yeah. Who was Guylaine Tremblay? Not my character. Me, but yeah. It would have been crazy if your character was Guylaine Tremblay.
Starting point is 01:35:58 My character is Guylaine Tremblay. You're the one who's playing Guylaine. With the poster, Guylaine Tremblay. Listen, I remembered. No, well, that's it. Yes, I would like that. I'm going to do it, for sure. But I don't know what to do. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. My character is Guylaine Tremblay. You're the one who's playing Guylaine. With the poster of Guylaine Tremblay. I'll do it again, but I'm not sure when.
Starting point is 01:36:10 I can't go back. I can't do it again. Yann, tell us some anecdotes in your show. You might have to ask permission from a colleague or a friend. I might have some problems. Oh yeah? Because we're repeating the same thing, you know that it could be...
Starting point is 01:36:30 Well yeah, we'll see. It's very clear. On who? One no. Hey, it's going to stay here. Yeah. Hey, but if I can give you some advice, don't say no.
Starting point is 01:36:46 Just... We're talking about talking. I saw that. If you want to save 600,000... And 10 years. He's gone like this. It's going to cost me more than that. Oh, damn.
Starting point is 01:37:02 But yeah, there are things. I'll see. I don't have the as that! Yeah, sure, there are things. I'll see. I'm not with the premise that people hate me. But in the profession, someone who hates me will say maybe I should take it off. In the real moment. No, we'll see.
Starting point is 01:37:20 OK, that's good. Yann? Did you ever say in your career, I've done too many quizzes, I don't want to be associated with that anymore? I'm afraid that... You're not talking about me. Because... Because you've done quizzes. One!
Starting point is 01:37:34 Yes, that's right. How did you find that? No, no, no. Listen, quizzes... We record them in raffle. Unfortunately, sometimes it's too fast. But it's fun to do. The games I animated, for me it was always a cross between a talk show and a game. So I have fun doing that.
Starting point is 01:37:56 And honestly, the truth is, it's the afternoon. So it's not in the prime time. So people don't hang out in the evening all the time. If it was in prime time, today I would hesitate because it's Monday, people have seen each other, but now it's afternoon. It's fun to do your shows. Listen, I've done it a thousand times. I've been called a sketch for prayers not to send flowers.
Starting point is 01:38:18 I'm with Patrice, I'm going to do it. You're not going to have time to do it. But you, games, you do that? Yes, games I never do, but prayers not to send flowers 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 01:38:29 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 01:38:37 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. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. One year, I had roasted Normand. Normand Bratwet.
Starting point is 01:38:45 Yes, sorry. Someone from your team had called me and asked me if I liked him. And I was like, no, no, I like him. It was a roast, so I'm happy. And they said, yeah, but we just had to feel it. Because we just feel hatred and rage. So I said, OK, I'll do it all the time. So that's why I ended the classic roast with a sentence like, hey, that's why everyone adores you.
Starting point is 01:39:23 A bit like Messmer did, with the, hey, you're proud of yourself, like we are proud of you. Not right away, on the count of three. And then you're like, hey, it's true, I'm proud of myself. I danced like a chicken, everyone will treat me like a nigger for five years. But I'm proud of myself. You had an extraordinary line for Guillaume Le Pen. I was like, I'm 5 years old, but I'm proud of myself. You had an extraordinary line for Guy LePage. You were crazy. You said you wanted a movie. What was the movie that Guy LePage made?
Starting point is 01:39:50 Camping. Camping Savage. No, no, the other one had crashed. On the dop? You know, with... Lapas. Lapas. Lapas.
Starting point is 01:39:59 That's it. He didn't drink. He said, no, no. He said, yes. He said, it was Guy LePage. I'm 100% sure. And he said, yes, I saw the film Lapas. He said, I saw the movie, it was a tabarnak. So he said, you're going to say, Mike, you know, you know, no. He said, yes, my text was, it's a tabarnak.
Starting point is 01:40:19 It's the lawyer who translated it, he read the text, he said, no, it was called Tantamarnache. Wow! Tagged, he's telling the truth. I remember, there were Future Shop in the past, and my tag after that was so bad, I brought my TV to Future Shop and asked for a refund. I asked for a refund. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Hey, his father! His father came! His father for the Roastery!
Starting point is 01:40:50 Yes, that's it! And he said, he was saying, he said, at least, Mike, I've always loved him, of course, and all that. And he said, there's my... his aunt, his sister, at least. He was talking about an aunt or a neighbor, whatever, Aline, and all that. And she said to me that Mike was a war hero, and Mike was...
Starting point is 01:41:07 and he was starting, it was his first lines, it was like, my God, it's going to be sad, it's going to be bad. He said, anyway, I've never listened to it, it's a crazy crisis. Wow! Now it's going to happen! And then he was laughing because his dad was nervous, his dad was angry anyway. And my dad was a little blind. And then one day he did it and I was like, how does he do that? To see the prompter? You know, 95 years ago today, and I was like, you know, a blind man, you know, who has never done a sign,
Starting point is 01:41:40 and then I was like, how does he do that? Then I look, there's nothing on the prompter, and then I was like, you know, going to do that? I look at him, there's nothing on the prompter. And I was like, it's really good. There's no white. And then one day there's a little white. And then I hear a grunt do, you know, that's it, that's it. And then I look at the grunt, it was him. He was, Patrice was in the backstage.
Starting point is 01:42:00 You were his dog guide. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was his dog guide. Yes, he was his guide dog. I said that, but he was tripping on the boot. He was tripping, he said, wow, my father, his first number, his breath, it's Patrice. Yes, breath. That's it. I said, bruiter, bruiter, it's not right. There, we imagined Charlie Pop.
Starting point is 01:42:21 It's maybe not... We imagined Charlie Pop... Some people do that, the same noises from the microphone. I don't know why. I don't have a clue. I'm sure it will come back. I'm sure. Because it's the kind of stuff that hits your nerves, but it's impressive. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:47 You're like, oh yeah, crazy, it's impressive. And then, at one point, you say, OK, yeah, yeah, he's doing something else, for example. You know, oh yeah, that's just it. It's going to be that. Oh yeah, that's just it. It makes me think of business. I remember one day, I was with Alain Chaquette, the magician, and I started talking about the show of David Copperfield. And then I said to myself, I'm going to see David Copperfield's show. I don't know if you saw it.
Starting point is 01:43:11 Look, one day he's there, he's on a motorcycle, he's in a motorcycle case, and then he opens the curtain and closes it. And then he opens the curtain right away. The trick is that there's a double, and he starts running around in the middle of the room, and the double stays with his helmet in the curtain. And then, at the end of the window, he gets up and goes, Oh, how did he do that? He went from there. But the double did about three feet less than him. Okay. And the guy is back.
Starting point is 01:43:38 It doesn't look like David Copperfield, who is super big. And then I start to laugh at the David Copperfield show, because I don't say magic, it's just girls in Lycra who walk around and dance for three quarters of the time. There's no magic, it's just girls who rub against him. I said, it's flat, it's disgusting, it's so gaudy today to do that. Alain Jacquette said, well, yeah, but my show is that. I hadn't seen his show, we were talking about his game. I said, yeah, I've done magic. But you're in French.
Starting point is 01:44:08 I had the French expression. It's not the same. It's not the same. I went to see Michel. I'm old, you know. Michel the dog. Michel the dog. I went to see Michel, I'm old, I'm a little old, Michel Le Machien, it was a character for children. Michel Le Machien, your manager, Michel. He had a big white shirt and a big black tunic.
Starting point is 01:44:32 He did magic on TV. I went to see him at school. Michel Le Machien. I don't know if it happened. Anyway, he was doing that. He was taking out columns. He didn't know what was going on in his bag. All the columns were coming out of the bucket.
Starting point is 01:44:47 All the children were there. And the parents were laughing in the bucket. Michel, you're a jerk. But it's the world's name for a magician. Michel the magician. It's local, isn't it? Michel the magician. You see, he's humble.
Starting point is 01:45:05 You know, he's in the first game of Gaetan, the illusionist. Marcel, the contortionist. He's back from a world tour in Cowansville. Yeah. Hey man, Michel Le Machier. All his autographs, are just written, excuse. Sorry. At the end of the show, he was making a 5$ purchase at Monong Kazelle.
Starting point is 01:45:42 Monong Kazelle. Monong Kazelle. At what store? Monong Kezel. You have a pet shop at Monong Kezel. I don't know what it was, but it was Monong Kezel. They were sure it was big. Monong Kezel. But even if it's big, it's still $100.
Starting point is 01:45:55 And me, in 1968, it was money. But now you're making me question your judgment if you thought it was big. Monong Kezel. I was eight years old. Monong Kezel. Even at six years old. You're making me question your judgement if you thought it was a joke. My name is Quaiselle. I've been sending drawings to Bobbino all my life. And he never showed the drawings to the choir. Every time he showed drawings, I showed them. He wasn't the one who was on the heroine. That's not what it's about.
Starting point is 01:46:21 I'll let you go. Bobbino was on the hero. Yeah, well, I... Have you ever heard of that? You don't hear anything. Okay. Bobbino was a heroine. Well, I'm an urban legend, I don't know if it's true. I saw him acting the same way, so it means it's true.
Starting point is 01:46:42 God, this... You know... Yeah, yeah. He tells me a lot of things, but I just get pissed off. You have a moving sword, don't move. Bobbino, Bobbino, it's been a thousand years since he died. It's been a long time, but it doesn't live old. Bobbino, Bobbino.
Starting point is 01:47:03 But that... But I, Bobbinos. But I liked Bobbinos. You're too late. I should have started with that one. We were always playing on the roof. How old are you? I'm 51. 51, ok. Did you know Bobbinos? No. He looks at me in the 20s. No, ok. Who? Did you know Bobbino? No.
Starting point is 01:47:25 He looks at me in the eye. No, no, no. It's a children's show. And he would take a marionette in his hand. Mario, do you want to be old? Ask him how old he is. He will say, you know, how old are you? Twenty-two.
Starting point is 01:47:33 Ok, twenty-two. Because I was afraid you would say like thirty-six. You know, because sometimes you're like, hey, the young people don't know what age you are, you're 44. And you're like, you're a jerk. So you're like, that's not true. Ok, 28 is not bad. But it worked a lot.
Starting point is 01:47:58 He always saw good guys. It worked. Of course, he had only that. I have that. No, it's true. He had two passes, he had the 10 and the 2. Yes. It's just the school. It depends on for sure. He had only this. I have this. No, it's true. He had two passes. He had the 10 and the 2. It betrayed your age. The 10 and the 2. It was just that. I had the... TV Quebec when it started.
Starting point is 01:48:14 I was young, there was the U. Yes! TV Quebec was 35. It was the U. The UHF. It was on the 17 and the 35. It was in the middle of that. The UHF, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, There were some good ones, but I got lost a few times. Oh yeah? Oh yeah. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:48:47 But... It's not true. No, no. It's not true. It's not true. He knew. You know, you start to get touched and you think of a girl and you're like, this is Michel Le Magicien.
Starting point is 01:48:57 So... Well, you start touching yourself and you think, a girl from the Carlyle, it's Michel Le Magicien. So... This guy is juggling the pigeons. We should have ended with that. But I had so much fun! Another question, Yann. Ok, I have a good one. I think it will end well. The question, after asking the three of you,
Starting point is 01:49:39 is when was the first time you realized that you were conscious and realized that you had succeeded. Something, a click... I had this discussion this week with someone. We were talking about a friend who said he never succeeded, but for me, someone who succeeded is not about being recognized in the street, it's about being able to pay your rent. So, as soon as I was able to pay my rent without calling my mother, in my head, since 1998, my business has been rolling.
Starting point is 01:50:15 Years ago, it was rolling at $17,000 a year. But in my head, that was it. For me, success is not just calling your father when you're 51 years old. I agree. For me, success is... listen, in the first years, I was waiting for the tax and I was getting it. For 7 or 8 years, I was getting it. In the first year, I was in crisis, but I said, oh, it's going well. That's true. That's it. I said, I have to pay for it, not I'm doing it.
Starting point is 01:50:45 Well, in fact, it's going to be a little bit of an answer in the same way. I woke up the other day and I said, I'm 54 years old. It's a dream come true when I was in high school, for me, inaccessible. Now I'm 54 years old and I'm still doing this job after 32 years. So I think about it every day to say, you're right that I'm privileged. Every time you come in, just honestly, I just want to be here. Yes, that's true.
Starting point is 01:51:10 You come in, you do the same thing, you say, I said, hey, I'm doing this. I'm doing that again. I turn the table, we're all stunned. He says, stop, stop. No, I said, I'm lucky, it works, I'm doing this, it's my daughter, we're laughing at you. I met your daughter, she was as tall as me.
Starting point is 01:51:30 They all grow up. And it's true, I don't come back. When someone calls me and asks me to do something, when you call me, I say, damn, man, world, I call you and make a phone call with him. Wow, that's... Did you think it was a phone call at the beginning? You did call, you little Mario, you're so...
Starting point is 01:51:47 I can't write work, I'm so bad! You can't write work! Yes. But it's the fun... I think it's important to keep that mentality of always being happy. And bravo to both of you for your careers. The three of us. The three of us, yes. And Yann to both of you for your career. The three of us. The three of us, yes.
