In the morning, I have the choice. A coffee that gives me palpitations or a dose shot. My favorite is the ginger and turmeric one. It tastes like fire, but it's really good. If you're a little crazy, there's the extra strong version. You can feel it up to your soul. If you have a sweet tooth, ginger and honey, it's like a grandmother's recipe. if your grandmother was a cranky host.

There is no caffeine, it's just organic ingredients. And a natural kick that wakes you up without scratching you, you can find it everywhere.

In direct from the Bordel Comedy Club inréal, voici Mike Ward sous écoute! Merci! Merci beaucoup! Merci! Bonsoir! Bienvenue à Mike Ward sous écoute. Je suis désolé, ma voix est bizarre, j'ai pas de grippe, c'est juste que j' just had too many shows this week, so my voice is completely off.

I would like to just underline the party in Chantal before we start this podcast. Chantal, it's your party tomorrow, right? It's your party tomorrow, but we're not shooting tomorrow. So, bravo, good party, you're so beautiful. Let's give you a round of applause. She's the queen of eavesdroppers. Thank you for being here. Yann, what did you buy as a holiday gift? He's perky in the back.

Oh, you're a jerk. That's crazy. You realize that these dogs are in need of doing to her. She's going to go out, what's my gift if she goes out and you knock on the door? Happy Chantal's party, Yann, well, it's not your party, but happy party too. I'd like to thank, I don't know if you saw Yann, I'll thank Thomas from Laboto Detail. Oh yes, I saw him.

He's a guy from TikTok too, but he didn't get through. Me and him, because Jan met his blonde on TikTok. My Tesla was damaged. I have the same Tesla for 6 years. I had it rewrapped just before the holidays. I got myself into it. I was going to say it was my fault, it wasn't my fault, it's just that my horn wasn't working anymore. I had noticed that my horn wasn't working, like, half December. And then I did, I'm going to check to see if Tesla can fix that. Then I go into the application and they say they could fix it on December 24. And then I did a mess. I'm not going to fix my car on December 24th. And then I did a lot of crap. I wouldn't go and get my car repaired on December 24th. So I did fuck off. I'm going to go. After that, they were like,

you know, I'm just using my horn for real to piss people off. So then, someone cuts me off, I honk, I'm like, Christ, I'll just have to flash my hoes and did some fuck you. I was going to be alright, but then on the 24th, I got caught in it. And that's absurd when you get caught in it. And my reflex was to be clapped, but then I just cracked some fistfights in my steering wheel. It didn't work, I got caught in it. And then I said to myself, ok, I'm going to... It was going to tear the wrap, it was going to fuck the bumper a little bit. I thought, I'm going to take care of this after the parties.

And being who I am, I never took care of it. Every time I took my car, I was like, I really need to take care of it. But I didn't know who to call. I was like, do I call a guy to rap? Do I call a... you know, it takes someone to unwrap, it takes a debaussler, and then another to rap again. And I do a show a couple of weeks ago in Terrebonne, in St. Thérèse. And then I have Thomas from the Abatto des Telles, this guy, he arrives, he starts talking to me about singing. And then I'm like, Asti is the guy from TikTok. I don't know if you've seen his videos, he was cleaning a car and you see him cleaning it.

I never thought I would like that. I wish I could see a car getting washed. When he washes the carpet, it's so nice. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't look real and it's so beautiful. They have little brushes and all the pattern. It's not a... No, no, and the pattern. It's not a... It's not a tree.

It sounds like a lava. It takes two minutes. It's a nasty job that must take 12 hours on a truck. I recognized him and he said, Hey, if you ever want me to do your test, I'd be happy. Then I said, no, I can't. you've torn everything, the bumper is fucked up. Then he said, hey, if you want, I can take care of it. Then I said, yes, Osty, take care of it.

So then, he took it all, I brought it. He found a guy called Nick Nick from Fine Raps, who took the bumper's wrap off, he fixed the bumper, he fixed the windows, the lights that were fucked up, he fixed the lights, he re-wrapped them, and then Thomas passed by, I don't know how long, it's an amazing job. And then I was looking at that, I was like, damn, even when I was watching the video, I was like, Asti, that's beautiful. And I was careful. I don't watch comments anymore. Usually, below the videos.

Except when, you know, sometimes I watch comments when it's a bad episode. If it's bad, I say, Asti, it was say, I wonder if people think it's bad too. I look at it and I'm like, yeah, people think it's bad. And I'm like, I'm right. But I don't look at it when I think it's good. Because otherwise, when it's good, I look at it and then people say it's bad. So I'm like, go fuck yourself, you asshole,

and I try to clap. But I don't know why I looked at... I had never looked at TikTok comments. TikTok, you bastard. It's weird to take the time to write a comment, but... The comments were awesome. It was... It was funny.

There was one guy, who made Mike Ward, Asti the Woke with his battery charger and I answered and said, you're perfect, you're crisp, you're perfect. And then the comments below, the people were like, Asti battery chargers, and they call them battery chargers. They were like, Asti battery chargers, it pollutes, it pollutes, it pollutes a lot more, Asti when you put it tanks, it pollutes, it pollutes, it pollutes much more. When you put it in the dump, it pollutes. Because apparently, when you put a gas tank in the dump, it becomes compost. The world doesn't know that when you're done with your F150, you park it in the garden, two weeks later, beautiful roses.

So no, it was perfect. So thank you, thank you Thomas, thank you Annick, thank you... Yes, that's it. I'm really, really... Oh yes, thank you. And you chose another color. You know, before it was like a kind of black... It was black. Black.

And then... Now it's like a glass... Glass... A little... Military. A little military. For me, it's like a military glass. I'm not a guy with a hair. I'm happy when my hair is woken up. I would have a little hair with a lesbian haircut. I would be brought to demonstrations. But my goal is to go to events.

That's all I need. But I love my car. It's an old car. Well, old isn't old. I was like, why buy another car? But it seems that in the summer, I don't have a garage, so I parked my car outside. The wrap was starting to... there were boots that were less beautiful, so I thought I'd have it rewrapped. That's why I did that. I'm going to keep it for another 5 years. And if there was a service, How much would it have cost?

I have no idea. I have no idea because when you look at the comments, because I, in addition, they did it to me, you know, you say a commandit, they did it to me for free. You know, it was not a commandit, you know, I was not obliged to talk about it, it's just me. When he did that to me, I was like, Chris, how much does this thing cost? If you're 1000, if you're 2000, if you're 3000, I was thinking it must be 3000. It's with the rap, and he spent so much time, so I was expecting to pay 3000. And then I texted him, he said it's ready,

I texted him and I said how much is it? And he said, no, no, it's beautiful, it's beautiful, I'll give it to you. And then I said, damn,? And he said, no, no, it's beautiful, I'll give it to you. And then I did, damn! At that point, I felt like shit, and I got there, and he was like, it's annoying, I'm filming your reaction. And I was like, Chris, you're giving me a gift of 3000. You could film my reaction while I eat punch in the ass.

I would be happy. I think I wouldn't have, it would cost more than $3000. I have no idea. I saw in the comments that people said it took 5 hours to do this. There are others. I think Thomas said that cleaning after 10 or 15 hours. He did that at the rap guy's place. And at 2am, he hadn't finished.

So he slept at the rap guy's place to finish the next morning. And I was like, damn, he's motivated to make zero. But he works hard. In his videos, at the beginning, the videos I saw, he was always cleaning Ferrari and the car of death. But he made a video that cleaned his father's car. It's like a Mazda 3 or something like that. An ordinary car.

The business of us poor people. Yes, a car like you would have. But it's beautiful, it looks like a new car. It looks like a new Mazda 3, but not really. My car is more beautiful than when it was 9-inch. It does a great job. I don't know how it charges, but it's worth it if you like your car. It must be around the corner. A big roof, it must be a thousand dollars. I think. No idea. It must be. If it was a commandit, I would have the price.

Otherwise, it would be the worst commandit. An announcement. Come to Pizza Salvatore. Our pizzas are... I don't know. I don't know. And our boss doesn't like Quebec culture. But come.

Come. Use the promo code LESASTITARTISTS and use the promo code SUBVENTIONNÉ and receive. Are you ready Yann? I'm ready, my dear. I'm ready, Asti, I'm happy, Asti is happy. I learned more. One of the guests plays in all the good TV shows of the last 10 years. Asti is talented, he's good. The other guy... It's a guy I love. You saw him fall on stage at the Bell Centre. I'm really happy. It's the pride of... Jean-Tom, you're the pride of this time. The pride of this time.

The crowd, they know it's Jean-Tom. How did they do it? Ladies and gentlemen, very, very happy to have you. We'll start with Jean-Tom, since you know him. Jean-Thomas Jobin and Patrice Robitaille! Applause

Thank you for being here. Thank you, Patrice. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you so much. I was going to introduce Patrice by saying the pride of Loretteville, but I think the people don't know you're from Loretteville. Or they don't know where're from Lorraineville. Or don't know where Lorraineville is. Where they go, hey, excuse me, it's André Philippe, the pride of Lorraineville. That's true. André Philippe Gagnon, originally from Lorraineville, on... I think it's on the street of the hospital. He gives the address of his parents. His mother is old, he doesn't have an alarm system.

No, it's just that... Maybe his parents are still there. No, but I remember because when I was in sixth grade, my friend was living next door to André-Philippe Gaillon's house, and I had done a research work on him. I had to do an interview, and I had interviewed André-Philippe Gaillon. I was really, really confused. In sixth grade? For an oral exhibition? Yes, like an oral exhibition, but with a journalistic taste.

We had to interview someone from our surroundings, and we had decided to interview André Philippe before he did the Johnny Carson show. He wasn't that hot, but we... I was wondering why he said yes to an interview of a 9-year-old child, but there was nothing else to do. He did shows that did more confidential shows.

You're saying you would refuse any interview of a 9-year-old boy? Well, in general, a 9-year-old boy invites me somewhere and I'm like, it's a trap, I know. I don't want to. Imagine the young people who want to do an exhibition on you, it looks like you're closing the door. No, but I'm going to send Michel. 9 years, 6 years, that means he's fast in the age gap. He jumped a couple of years.

I'd give him a chance. Yes, it's true. It's true. It's more than 11 years. 11-12. It would make me laugh in your presentation when you said, I apologize, I have a hoarse voice. I would like to tell you that it's your voice all the time. Is that true? Oh yeah, that's my voice all the time.

Pretty much all the time. I was like, there's no difference. No, but I feel like I talked too much this week. Do you like that? I like that when my voice is a little hoarse. I wouldn't say it's hoarse. I think hoarse is the worst terminology for Mike's voice. Don't you think it's Roke? No, it's very little Roke.

Ok, well... But yeah, I like to see Roke's voice. I'd like that. I find it fun when you're a little sick, you're in your vault, you have little knives, but there's something... You feel like a rocker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel a little more virile. So you're advertising for your friends in Alis? No, I don't advertise them, but when it happens, I think it's a...

I'm happy. I'm not saying it's bad. OK. So that's what you're asking me about Loretteville. Loretteville is in Quebec, next to the village of Juron. Now I think we should say Wendake. Exactly, we should say Wendake. And then, well, that's it.

I lived there for 20 years. There were lots of personalities. You know, André-Philippe, there's me, there's Mitsou, there's you, I didn't know you. There's Roland de Québec, the star photographer. Ah! Photographer of... You've never met Roland de Québec. No!

Famous, tasteful. You're the strongest. Oh yeah! There's... And then... You never met Roland de Québec, famous Google guy? You finished the strongest. Christine Brouillette, the novelist from Loretteville. She's a real Just... I wanted to mention him, if you're the fat guy. So that's why you ended up being the strongest. Oh yeah, exactly. You thought he had a nice show. But he was a star photographer.

Yeah, he's the same guy who sold himself. He went all the time in the 90s. As soon as there was a press conference in Quebec, he came. And then he took pictures and he always brought his little photo album. And he said, look at the picture I took of Céline. He was pretending to be Céline's official photographer, but it was pictures of Céline eating. And he was coming in surprise in a restaurant.

It was a bit like a paparazzi from Loretteville. Yes, it was the paparazzi from Loretteville. Yes, it's the paparazzi from Loretteville. And since there weren't many of them, you know, he didn't have many celebrities, so there was time to go take pictures of younger people. But he was associated with no magazines, no newspapers. No, every time there were... He was with Écowedette at the time.

Every time it was a picture of a Vedette in Quebec, it was always credit photo to Roland de Québec. His name was Roland de Québec. Roland de Québec. Yes, Roland de Québec. And then he went... I know too much about Roland de Québec. Yes, Chris, that's it. He went... At 9 years old, you did an interview on Roland de Québec.

You had an interview with Roland de Québec. Roland de Québec went to the first few years of filming in Quebec every weekend. He looked so happy. One day, I got there, he wasn't there, and I asked him why Roland de Québec was here. He said he was too heavy. He kept showing his photos to everyone. You see him once in a while showing pictures of him and Céline. It's cute, but you're the cameraman and you saw the photos the day before. You're still young. So she told me that and I was like, Hey, poor man, poor man.

Poor Roland from Quebec. And then I learned the stories and I was like, Oh, OK, he's going to die. Poor Roland. Yeah, that's it. So did you know that Roland was still alive? No, he died. So it's like a sad episode today.

Exactly. I had... There's a guy who came to talk to me about two months ago, a weirdo in Quebec, and he said, hi, I'm friends with Roland, the star photographer. And I said, yeah, yeah, the pedophile. He said, yeah, yeah, it didn't end well for him. I said, no, no, it didn't end well for him. Tristan, I didn't think he'd feed you that much.

Do you think I was just here to talk to you? To talk about Roland? No, no, no. The pedophile you were talking to me about. It was a mouthful. Roland from Quebec was probably already in the picture, Roland from Quebec. Are you sure he was in the picture? You think I'm in an album? I don't know, there's no TV series you're preparing about Roland.

We're all going to see that. No, no, no. But as soon as I went to Quebec, he was there. Or maybe I imagined it. It would be great. Today I learned to Quebec, he was there. Or maybe he was... maybe I imagined it. It would be sick. Today I learned about his existence and his death. It's still a big party. There was a guy in Quebec...

No, it was in Quebec-Ouamour Hall. He was a guy who made very frantic caricatures. Maybe you... It was philocatures. He said, I make philocatures, I don't tell you anything. No, he made a caricature with a little philosophical message and called it doing filocatures, I'm not saying anything. No. No, he was doing a caricature, but with a philosophical message, and he called it filocatures. We were a little mocked by the gentleman, it's a shame.

And honestly, I apologize, because we were a little... I don't know, it must be bullying now. How old were you when you bullied him? Oh, I was 22 years old. OK. I wasn't at the age to do that. I wasn't in a school class anymore, but... No, no, listen, we were talking about it, but that's it. He was doing filocatures. Okay. I wasn't ready to do that anymore. I wasn't in a school class anymore.

No, no, listen, we were talking about it, but he was doing filocatures. It was like a box above the car. He was making a drawing. Did he charge you for that? Of course. I think it was about twenty dollars. Oh my God. So now it's really...

If you pay, it's no longer bullying, so much so. It becomes a service. Yeah. Yes, but we were on several of them. Did you buy these drawings to be ironic? Yeah, to be funny. But in the meantime, they were good. They drew... you know, we recognized them. But I don't know, the philosophical message was nice. Was it my turn to talk about someone obscure from my childhood?

Oh, yeah. So, I had a tri-flute player... I have nothing to say, Chris. I have nothing to say about that. I was ironic about the fact that everyone had an obscure character, but I didn't have any, I felt sorry. Where did you meet him? You're both pretty close. We met on TikTok.

Where? I don't even know. At the hockey league, I think. I think it's there. We never met before. I don't even remember. We all do showbiz, but we met at the hockey league. We played a long time. I don't play anymore. I play less lot of hockey. We played a lot, but now I don't play anymore. I play less.

I play less in this league. I still play, but we met there. I remember that I always wanted to be in... because there are always two rooms. We divide the teams and there are always two rooms. I always wanted to be in a room where Pat was, because it's always fun to be in a hockey room with Patrice. There are always a lot of stories.

There are a lot of anecdotes. There's a little side to it, 98.5 sometimes. Okay. Yeah. But... I always wanted to be in his room. I also liked being in Jean-Thomas' room, there's a nice chest. Yeah, really, he's good.

No, but he's really nice, he's a brilliant guy, he's funny, so... My God, this podcast is very valuable. Yeah, it's valuable. No, but he knows I like him a lot. Really. It's very reciprocal. In addition, he worked with Julian for De Pierre en Fille. Yeah, that's Yes, it's rewarding. He knows I like it a lot. It's very reciprocal. He worked with Julian for De Pierre en Fille. Yes, it's true. A real heart attack. Did you know each other before working together? No, not at all. Jean-Tom wrote to me sometimes because they are really good friends.

He said he would like it. Before he offered me the role, Jean-Tom had made me a little bit of a pain in the ass. You had told me that she was thinking of me. Yes, she was thinking of you globally in life too. I don't know much about that, but I really like her. She's an immensely brilliant girl. I tell myself, it's good that Jean-Tom has the same kind of humor. She's a really brilliant girl.

In that series, you play his father. Yes, it can be a little less. When you're offered a role, you're like, it's good, it's good, I'm going to be his father. Do you have it? Because she's still 35.

I think I had seen a girl in my age. I should have been 16. But at the same time, she looks young. But you know, I'm... But at the same time, young age... You know, I was supposed to roles for a long time, older than my age. Now I'm starting to play younger ones than me, but it's like I'm playing the guy, I don't know, like 45, 55. You know, in Invincible, your characters, I was wondering what age they were.

Were you around 30 years old? Well, that's a good question. I was around 20 years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah C'est fin 20e? Fin 20e, oui. Fin 20e. Tu t'avais à peu près 20, 26 ou tu étais plus vieux que ça? Ça c'est 2005 à peu près, les invinc... Tu me demandes d'approbation? Je dirais 2006. Oui, parce que je vais avec mes enfants.

Donc oui, autour de 2005. Ça veut dire que j'ai pas loin de 30 ans. J'ai 29 dans ces eaux-là. So yes, around 2005. So that means I'm not far from 30, I'm 29 in those areas. We were making guys our age. Because the four of us are the same age. So we're all from this batch. And it's François and Jean-François who wrote it. So they were writing for guys their generation. And you knew them from Quebec?

Yes, Rivard, the director, I met him at the same school as me in high school. OK. But he was one year older, so we didn't get along, but I knew who he was. He was at the school in Valcartier? Yes. When we were in high school, there were a lot of talents who came out of there. Yes, there were a lot of people. And very strange, his father was friends with my father when he was little.

It's weird, the same life. Then, the tournaments, I met them at the CEGEP. We both auditioned to be in an amateur theatre troupe. I immediately got along with him. Then we went to the same university. He studied political science, I studied communication. That's when I did the improv. That's when I met Trudgy, Pearson, Rémi-Pierre Paquin, Pierre-François Legendre.

That's where we met, in the improv league. And I was doing theater with the tournois, but he wasn't improvising. And after that, I left for Montreal. But that's really where I met these guys. And when you arrived in Montreal, did it start to work out pretty well? When I arrived, it's funny, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the start of theic War. I left Quebec at the same time as the Nordics in 1995. I went back to the Conservatoire here in Montreal and it was three years. So from 1995 to 1998.

Then when I left, Trudgy came and finished the World's destination race. Then Pearson worked, it was just for fun at the time. Anyway, we started doing things together. Then we wrote... We wrote Quebec Montréal in 2000, and it came out in 2001. So I started working right away. Did you write it? Yes.

Oh, yeah. We wrote three. We each wrote a story. I wrote the story in which I was, the three guys in the car. Ricardo wrote Pierre-François and Julie. Julie, yeah. And I didn't write the one with Isabelle Blais. In which story did Mike Govin create the character? It's Ricardo, actually.

It was in his story. Obviously, we made the three of us together, but we split things up. We said, you write this, you write that, you write that. You had the idea in three? Yes, we had the idea in three. The first version we made, it was in 28 different charts. It was super anecdotal, it wasn't good at all. And at one point, I had the idea of all this.

We were a little discouraged, and then I had the idea of doing the journey of a love journey. We don't care when we see the film, but it was like the stages. I don't remember what it was, but the passion. I told you, I don't remember. I had established five things, five stages of a love relationship. There was daily life, I don't was the dream, I don't know. Anyway, that helped us to establish the business. So then we all went our separate ways and we made this film.

And how did this film cost? It must have cost little. It cost little. And when you see it again now, it's there, it doesn't make any sense. No, but it's true because we didn't shoot much. And when you look at it again, it doesn't make any sense. It's true because we didn't shoot it in film. It's so old-fashioned, like a technical support, it's disgusting. I saw it last time, and it's true, it's been a while. But I thought it had a look, same quality as Swingers.

It didn't have a budget. It's old-fashioned, but we had a budget. But script-wise, it has aged well. Yes, it has aged well. And the game too. Yes, I think so. And it's funny because they are showing it in theater pieces. Did you see the play?

No, I didn't see it. They are still rehearsing. But when it was 20 years old, in the context of the Quebec cinema meetings, Pierre-Luc, Jean-Claude Boucher, all of them decided to do it because it was a film that they talked about when they were kids. They did a public lecture and it worked really well. That's when the idea of doing it live came to be. And now they're going to do it...

Textually or is there an adaptation? I think it's pretty textually. Pierre-François Lejeune is the one who is directing the show. I find it reassuring that it's someone who understands the situation well, who will direct this gang. I have a lot of respect for this gang. I find it a very talented gang. I'm very curious to see how it has aged. There are a couple of lines with which I'm less comfortable now. But listen...

And, yeah, Chris, I have to listen to the film. No, but there are things I remember. I think it's a bit of a correct policy now. No, but you know, there's a thing. We're like a trip to three. We're like two guys with a girl. And I remember I had done a stupid thing. Ricardo had told me,

Hey, let's put this in the first edit to make the productist laugh. I made a big mistake. But it's in the film. Ricardo told me, It's great, man, it's great, we'll leave it there. Sometimes we get a little pinched when we do it. It's like a photo. Earlier you were talking about the star photographer. Yes, we're going to take a picture.

We're coming to you. When you do a photo session, you throw your show. He's doing a great job. You have to learn it. After that, it's the ones that are going to take. I discovered this one year. Well, I had discovered that. When I explained to the photographer why I was doing it, I told him, if I start doing...

And then he took me. I was like, damn it! I could have just said it without doing it. On the Invincible, there was a photographer who told us, Hey, you're super heroes, jump, do a... No man, we won't jump, you do that. It's the ideal shot, we look like a gang of raisins. So if you knew, you would say that when you got into showbiz,

you learned that. No, I was wrong, I got a couple of times wrong. But I still learned that... Hey, that's a little anecdote. I learned that when we are respectful towards these people, because the people in these magazines, both the photographers and the journalists of these days, Echo Vedette and all that,

they are really smart. And it's all the time the same as we see from one event to another. Honestly, they've already been super correct. I think it was the Gemmaux. One year, the party, then he was at the casino. I went to the casino, and I wanted to go there. There was a private party in another place. I had access to a private party, so I said, OK, let's go. It was like... it felt like we were dressing up.

So I went out and waited for the shuttle service that took us to the party. And there was a girl who came in, and she was really into it. She came in, and she was talking to me, and I was like, I don't know you. And my boyfriend didn't come that night, and he was at home, but I was like, he doesn't know you. My blonde didn't come that night and was at home. I was like, nevermind. She was really, really attached. She stayed with me. I was in the shuttle bus with her, which took us to the other party.

When I got to the other party, it was at the St. James Hotel, I got there and there was a backdrop and the photographers were there to take pictures. She was still there, attached, still with me. I was like, hey! The stain is still with me. I was like, hey! And the photographers took a picture of us both together. I was like, hey, when I get there, I'll tell my blonde, he had a stain crisis with me.

So we took the picture, we left, and I came back without her. I said, hey, I don't know her, seriously, don't put that in your stuff. And that picture never came out. It would have been sick if they put it, and it was just a stain it in, just to put it in a bag. Patrice Rabita, she's a bitch! Yeah, it would have been a pain for her. When you did the conservation, were you convinced that you were more interested in the game, humor and drama, or both of you talking? Ah, well, actually I was afraid. I was afraid to do... When I went back to the conservatory, you know, you go through an audition process,

and at the audition I said, you know, it's like a little bit of a flash dance. You're all alone, you leave the professional body, and then it happens in two days, and you're super nervous, and you have the impression that this is You feel like it will determine the rest of your life. I was very afraid of everything that was very theatrical. I told them that. You have a long interview with them. They asked me how I approached the idea of coming here to do three years of theater school. I told them, I confess I'm afraid you're asking me to put a fire in the bottom. I'm not interested in these things.

I had verbalized it. I didn't want to be broken. We're going to do what we want as a witch apprentice. It wasn't that. I went there and said, I just want to meet people who have more jobs than me, but who pay their bills to try to get me out of it. And it was Normand Schouinard who was the director of the conservatoire at that time. He said, I recognize a comic talent in you. And he told me, for me, it's not a subgenre of comedy because I gained part of my life with it. And it had reassured me a lot that the director, when I was there, you know, it's very circumstantial, our careers.

That was, he was there normally, I think, six years as director of the conservatoire, and it has given me the good that I've been there for those years. So we never tried to stifle that, that more funny side that inhabited me. to to to to to to to to

to to to to to to to But it's because we were texting at that time. Not that we stopped, but we were texting less. And... It's true that we were texting less, but it's... I remember that you liked it, you were performing, but it was worrying you,

and you counted the number of performances that were left, ah, I have 12 left, I can't wait to finish in Tabarnak. It was sad. But retrospectively, I'm really happy to have played that role, and that we thought of me to do that, and I'm happy to have accomplished it, but I had no fun doing it. I'm glad we did that. But I had no fun doing it. I was way too stressed out. Do you think the role was so legendary that you had to do it?

Yes, it's the biggest role. In terms of the number of lines and everything, in French dramaturgy, it's the most difficult. Everyone saw it. Everyone knows certain famous glasses. There are expectations. It's not like a creation. People know how to play. If you play it and you're not good, it's a perfect piece. Cyrano is so well built. I can't stop saying it's like breaking down the walls. It's five acts and if you follow the curve well, you get to the fifth act and you break down. You go, alright, I've done well to save all my life. It's time to live on my savings.

The play is so well done that you get to the fifth act, you go on stage and you hear the world crying. It's crazy. It's genius. You think, it's me who's going to defend this tonight in front of a full room. But after 3 or 4 nights that you did it and it went really well, the stress or the pressure didn't go away? No. No, on the first night, it was great. Everyone was all upset.

I thought, everyone was drinking champagne. I said, no, Chris, I don't remember how many left. I think I have 31 left. I didn't have fun doing it. I played it in 2014 and I missed one of our sequences in the gang, just before it started, because my blonde was sleeping and I went. You're a real bastard. You're a team guy.

No respect for the team. It's true that I was a dog with the team. No, but it's true that I was a dog next to the team. But all that to say that I had a baby too, so I think it also contributes to being a little tired. And I felt a little bit guilty too. I thought to myself, my blonde, she just gave birth to a baby, and I'm going to... I'm stressed because I'm going to work two and a half hours. There was a side of me who wasn't proud. But you had another offer for less associated theater with a mythical role. I have offers, but it's so important.

You are your gongpins. To really make a scene, but I find it demanding. It's sick. It's not the same thing. Not the same scene. No, but when you write your business, playing and defending your business is so much easier than playing and defending a classic from hundreds of years ago. Yeah, but it's hard in understand what you're doing. Going to the bat with your equipment,

I would be doing some balls. That's why I was wondering if after a couple of times it was less stressful. I don't know if you're the same, but it's ultra stressful until you know it works. Then the moment you know it works, it's just fun. There's no stress. You're not stressed at all? I'm just excited it's just fun. There's no stress. You're not stressed out?

I'm just out and I have fun. That's the best attitude to have. When I play in Quebec, when I play with Albert Rousseau, in front of people... It stresses you out? It stresses me out a little more because I have friends. It adds a little boost, but not dramatically paralyzing. This week, I had two shows in Quebec, and one of them was with Will Pocket. Do you know William Pocket? He's got a face.

He's a young comedian who still lives in Quebec. He often goes to the podcast, to IAND, but he was there. And he lives in Quebec. He came to see the show the first night, and then I said, Asti, before you were there, I would have asked you to do a 5 minute show. So we invited him the next day. I knew he lived in Quebec, he still stays there, but I didn't know he had never done the Salal Bayrouceau.

So I was excited for him. It was almost... I don't know how old he is, he's 30 years old. But I was pretending he was my son. And he turned 30, he could be my son. But I was happy for him. I never said anything, I just like to remember that. When I know I have friends,

someone tells me, I'm going to see you on Wednesday. I think of that person all the time. It's like his face is blinking in my head. Why did you tell me? Come see me in the lodge. I don't understand. That's the evening when you're buffering. You're buffering and I see him even more. He's blinking even more. I always feel like I'm welcoming people.

When people tell me, I'm going to be there on Tuesday, I say, come and have a drink before the show. I relax in the house with them so that it's like a... A nice time. But even when I see you in a row, you're not tense. Even in a row, I'm not. I'm not angry. I'm angry.

I'm angry stressed. I think you're getting a little angry. I'm getting a little angry. It's funny, but I think that your podcast gave you a sense of improvement that makes sure that if it doesn't work, you'll do self-deforestation, you'll do a lot of roasting, and you'll end up doing weight on something else, it will work. You're always in control. Yes, of course. Of course, yes. But at the same time, I know the podcast will have laughs,

but you're there. When I'm alone... But you add them to the editing. Yes, we add them. That's Yann. I think Yann, when there's a word, he spits out a few laughs. Damn it. Podcasts for word shows, When there's humor, he spits out a few laughs. Crap of a fool.

Podcasts for shows of humor, like radio for humor, I find it's boring. Everyone who did radio or who does radio, if you do radio, people write you chronicles, then you go back on stage, it's boring. But podcasts, it seems to be... What do you mean by it gets dark? You burn your stock a little? No, no, it's that... let's say on the radio, if you have to... I'm talking about the old chronicle formulas. If you have to write three minutes of jokes, you write your jokes,

and then around the table, it laughs and it's fun. So when you write your stage stock, you say, I'm good at writing, that's a killer. The girl is so funny. You make the joke and the guy who paid 48 bucks, he's like, me? But in podcast, what it did for me, I stuck to silence. Before, that's what scared me. On stage, I was like, OK, laugh, laugh.

So I rocked the jobs. The obligation of the microphone and the jokes. While now, it seems I'm confident. And it's maybe also the age. It's been 30 years I've been doing this. I know I'm funny. No, no, but... It's not modesty that suffocates you, huh?

Do you think you're funny? I think you were a little too early in your career to announce that with so much pride. I was doing announcements by Jean Coutu for a very long time, I did that for 20 years on the radio. And at the beginning, we were like several to do that.

We were like a family. The family, Jean Coutu. And there was Madame Suto. OK. Feux Janine. Feux Janine. And I had asked that, I had said, are you still stressed, Madame Suto, you know, when you play in a show?

OK, I was thinking before the recording of Jean Coutu, I was like... No, I was sure before. You're one on one with the real, I'm pretty nervous. No, no, no, no, no. 5 dollars, I'm not gonna lie. 5 dollars, I'm not gonna lie. Not with a little Jean Coutu commercial, no, no, I wasn't nervous. But when you play in the theater or on TV,

but on TV it's not the same, but really on stage. And she told me, the worse it goes, the worse it gets. She told me that, and I thought, you know, Mrs. Staudt, it's like it's a little in my head, and I kept it in my head. It's a saying we hear a lot, from the moment you stop doubting,

it gets less good, and so on. But, you know, I... Yeah, that's it. I've been better since 9 years old.. But for me, I made this switch. Before, I was nervous, as it couldn't be. And I always said to myself, the more it goes, the less I'll be stressed. Because I was really stressed at the beginning. After 10 years, I was a little less stressed. After 15 years, a little less.

I had done a show with Yvon Deschamps, the last year that all the guys were doing there, and I had never seen anyone nervous before going on stage. And then I had spoken and he had told me, no, I'm not nervous anymore. And then I said, hey, that can't be my life. I had done, you know, I don't lose my heart. If I get into trouble, we get along a bit. I understand, but in the case of Monsieur Deschamps, I think what had to happen,

I'm really an observer of the situation, of what you're telling, but I think that when you stop doing a lot, I think you take a little distance. And in my opinion too, you have to stop the legend. You understand, this is Monsieur Deschamps. It's like everyone says, they're going to Deschamps. You come in and he knows, he's not just a And he also gets on it. Yes, it makes me think, since you're talking about good songs and we're talking about stress.

The first time I did my English number, I had finished it on the gala. It was a number that I had written in English and I said I was one of the most bilingual people in the world. So I had learned it by heart, I had never tested it. And then I did it on PIL. What is the room of the world on PIL? No, it was probably on Bishop, Comedy Works. Comedy Works. So it's a room that has 40 seats. 90. They sell themselves and they fill their rooms more than me.

No, no. But anyway, the first time I did that number, I was really nervous. I had never played in English. And then I arrived, they sell dogs in the hall, I was like, huh? Why is he there? And there was also a critic called Eric Clément. The priest came to see me, I said, before he said, yes, I heard you would be there tonight. So I came, I was like, and he made a critic, a little show. I wanted to do the most incognito thing on the planet. Yvonne was there, since her daughter Joana was there.

I understood it afterwards. It was really great. I had a great comment the next day. But I just wanted to try something, to test the bones. Just before, I was like, what a gag! Why is Yvonne going down? He was in second place with Judy. And Yvonne, for example, is a really good person. Yes, it reassured me. I would hear her all the time. Yes, that's it. I would have had it in my head a lot. Yes, it would have been a bit of a ruckus.

But yes, that's the fun when you see someone like him from that status, who has that generosity. There is nothing worse than... You know, I think if you're not generous, it's hard to become a legend. Otherwise, all the young people will talk bad about you. If Yvon made everyone shit, we would write good numbers. There were some, but it was a nasty ass game. But he's so hungry.

I'd like to see Yann isolate the extreme. Oh, he's going for a ass-eating. Just before the premise. In fact, it's not even a insult. You're a ass-eater. No. No. It's a nice action.

A nice action, indeed. You think that because... To eat asses. No, but... What do you think? No, but you're still young for that, but you've had a long career. You've played many roles that have been marked. When young people meet you, it's certain that there are some who want to become like you.

I admit that I never think about that. I would say that what I'm paying attention to is to try to be a good... Let's say I'm one of the important roles in a series or in a film, I'll try to be a host, a gatherer. Because there are people who come... Let's say we're there, I don't have 40 days on a project, but there's someone who comes and... He's there for a day. He's there for a day, and he's's learned his lesson, but he's still angry. So it's about trying to make it pleasant for that person. I have to admit that I'm really...

I try to be very, very, very attentive to that. But otherwise, the rest... I'm not... But I imagine you're the same in time too. I've never... I've just heard good things about you. It's better, but... No, I don't think I've ever been to a fucking dinner. I would say that I'm more aware of that now, but maybe it's also now that I have bigger roles. I've already started like that.

I played in La Villavi. I was there for a day. I did things where I was there for a day. I played in Quatre Ennemies. I was a guy was playing hockey with Robert Brouillette and I was crossing a girl while eating a chips. I had like two scenes. But you know, I started the same and I remember when I got to this platform, I was really impressed. Are your parents still alive? My parents are still alive and the two of them.

Can you see him? You're still alive. But just, you know, I don't have any other questions. It's just that. I think he didn't ask you, he asked you to come. You can hear him. But... Just... I don't have any other questions. It's just that. I think he asked you the question just to roast me. No, but...

That's the only reason why he informed himself of that. But, let's say... But, let's say... It was your mother's role. You know, 4 and a half, it was the time of the VHS? Or was it the beginning of the VHS? Did you record them? No, it's not my mother, it's my father.

I have the nickname the archivist. Oh yeah, there's everything, everything. Hey man, there's a lot of stuff written in the back. It's like a joke, I'm like, where is it going to go? It's going nowhere. There would never be a museum, my man. I think it's not going to stop, but I don't know. There's like something that's about pride. It's not going anywhere. There would never be a museum in Monard. I think it's over, but I don't know.

There's something that brings pride. But my mother has always been more critical of my work. In Quebec, Montreal, she left. She didn't like that. Trudgy still talks about it. Hey, your mother is in top 10. It's true. She really didn't like it.

She found it vulgar. She found it really vulgar. She said, you know, you? Yeah, she really didn't like it. She found it vulgar? She found it really vulgar. She said, you know, you play in it, it doesn't bother me, but she said, you wrote it, it's in your head, all that. She wasn't happy. Yeah, but that's it. Even today, it's the two that are more critical. Your dad is just...

My dad is more cheerleader. My mom, who I remind you, is dead. It looks like dead. I think she's dead. Yann took this extract and just said that his mother is dead, and he's laughing. Send this to your family! Send this! Oh no, no. Don't give me ideas. But no, no, that's it. My mother, she made scrapbooks, all the newspaper cuts, articles. And I even know that she had made an alert, I don't really know how it works, but an alert Google, that she received a mail when my name was referred in a thing.

It's a shame that your mother knew how to do it. She looked at Google, but not you. I don't know how she did that. You were like, I'm going to send an email and I want to register someone in CC. How do I do that? Now there's a CC or on the keyboard. No, no! or on the keyboard? No, no!

No, but that's it. There are still piles of that. And all VHS tapes of Le Grand Blanc, Fond Noir. Did you transfer them to digital? No, but my friend Jean-Philippe did some things that I wanted to have in DVD. But in DVD at that time, I don't have DVD anymore. It's useless. But it's just digital, and they have on files that I can check on the internet. When you transfer everything, you say

Look, VHS is over, we put everything in DVD. 200 more, you're like, well, ok. We were the bourgeois who had a beta. We too? Yes! That was a nice high five I did in my life. I was a public school VHS. But I, VHS was more... The... quality was lower, it cost less.

It's lower quality, but all the movies were there, apparently because of porn. Since porn exploded... All the ass movies they put in VHS, take in beta. Often, in the first years, the world that bought VHS and Betas was to have access to pornography without going to a cinema? I think the TV industry didn't get the idea that beta was accessible because it was broadcast quality. The other one was like VHS, Ellu-sha. Before, TV was beta max. Were there beta versions in the video club? Yes, there were beta versions, but there were often fewer. There were fewer, yes.

It was in Ville-A-Juron, the same date. I remember... There was a bear outside. This video club... Yes, that's it, Chris, it's a niche. It's after 10 people who lived in Loretteville in 1989. But there was... Yes, I really liked the video club. He was a fan of the video club.

Did you think Roland, the photographer, would go around the video club? He lived on the other side of the street. He lived in a block that belonged to one of my aunts. It was a stupid question, but I ended up there. Everything is in everything. It's not big, Quebec. There are some links that are written. I'll try to find it in our home.

I'll google it. This man intrigues me. Maybe he already photographed me. I remember this video club. It was... You took... There was a little token. And you threw it in the trash. Yeah. You know, it looked like a poker chip.

Yeah. You were tearing it off. It was... and the first time I went to... when Blockbuster arrived and Superclub Vidéotron was... well, Blockbuster was the first to arrive in my area, but I was like, you know what? You had to take the film. I was like, you know what?

It's that little system that I do everything. You know? I had to take the film. I was like, what's this little system? I'm the one doing everything. You know, I give you this. For me, it was Vidéo-J. Do you remember Vidéo-J? Which was the enemy of Monsieur Cadillo. There was Monsieur Cadillo. You remember Monsieur Cadillo?

No. For me, it was Vidéo-J, but I don't think it was a video game, but I don't think it was a matter of several shortcuts. I think it was just a square, it was the place of Navillense. I really thought it was strange, but every time I went to the video club, I wanted poop. It's true! Yeah. Why?

It's actually the place to tell that. Caca. C'est vrai? Ouais. Pourquoi? C'est effectivement la place pour raconter ça. Non mais c'est... C'est qu'est-ce que t'as entendu dire à propos de sous-écoute que tu t'es dit je vais dire ça, my word va faire go on? J'sais pas, j'écoute la discussion depuis le début, je me dis, oh oui, je pense que je peux me permettre. Mais c'est vraiment une place pis souvent justement tu parles du petit velcro et tout, I don't know, I've been listening to the discussion since the beginning and I'm like, I don't think I can afford it. It's really a place, and you know, you talk about the small group and everything, you know, even now, you're trying to choose a movie on Netflix,

but you're like, it's going to be too long, no, not that, I've seen it, no, nothing. So that was it, and I was always like, OK, let's go. I told you, there was something, I don't know, there was something in the air. When I went to the video club, it had to be, I don't know, I was nervous, there was something in the air. When I went to the video club, I was nervous, I was excited. Excited to watch a movie. I was excited to watch a movie and eat chips. But listen, the bag was working for me. I was there and it was really cool.

Did you go to the toilet in the video club? No, no, I have a good hold of it. You were waiting to be at home? Yes, at home, we're going to do that. But I'm telling you, I don't know, there's no place for you two, it's like systematic. We're going to leave you alone in your business.

No, no, but... I'm fine, I have no problem, you wouldn't have talked. I'm technically the bathroom, you know, every time I go to the bathroom, I want to go to the bathroom, I want to go to the toilet. But that's why I'm here. It sounds like a joke from me

20 years ago. Oh, no, that's it. What a toilet! Yeah, that's it. For real, I still have... It's a bit more classic. But before a show where I'm particularly stressed, I'm part of this poop. I'm part of this family.

I have a really whiplash and nervous little poop. I always have a little nervous poop just before going on stage. Every show, you're not supposed to be nervous, though. I have my nervous poop. Same. I'm nervous, I just have a poop. My anus is nervous, but it's all the time. All the time during my first part, I go to the toilet and then I come back.

When you leave the stage, I was going to go later. But I was in pain, so I went to the bathroom at 7.55. I came back, I was present, and I was like, what am I doing? So I went to the bathroom, I went back to the bathroom, and I just sat there, staring blankly for a minute, just because it was my routine. I'm happy we're here. It feels good. But in general, let's say you don't have a show, do you? I never go to the bathroom if I don't have a show. No, no, no. It takes shows.

That's not it. I was in the middle of my black turn in 2023. I already had a show. I was in the middle of my black turn in 2023. I already had a show. I was in the middle of my black turn in 2023. No, no, no. It takes some heat. No, no, no. That's not it. I was in the middle of the year, my black tour ended in 2023, I just started again in 2024, and I was so excited.

It reminds me of the first year. I was like, turn around, turn around. That's what I'm listening to. Exactly. That's what I'm listening to. What did you ask for? Did you have a regular hour? No, I didn't. Because I have 10 am. 10 am.

All the time. Between 9.30 and 11 am. I go to the bathroom when I want to. When you want to. When I want to. Yes, that's it. You, is it like a rest or a new line? No, but in the sense that, I don't know...

You're like Bob, I'm eating poop. No, but it's the desire that points towards those hours. And if someone, let's say you have a meeting and they do... Let's say we call the dentist and they say, Mr. Jobin, we can have you tomorrow at 10 o'clock for a good time. No, not at that point. I'm more than 10 hours. But it makes me feel, honestly, when I go to the bathroom, I don't understand the people

who spend time there. For me, it's true, it's two and a half minutes and it's over. So it's not like a project. So you know, I'm able to go around, I have meetings. Ok. And you're able to go everywhere. I'm very Caméléon from a point of view. I like to be at home or in my house.

Do you have coffee to get involved? I don't drink coffee, I've never had coffee in my life. No. Well, I don't drink coffee. I apologize, I shocked the bourgeois, but I don't drink coffee. Do you have, taste for it? I'm not a fan of it, so I don't know why I'm fighting. I'm not saying it's bad for your health, but I don't like it specifically.

I don't need much time. It would be at 8am. If you took some coffee... It would change your name. Yes, that's it. No, but it's very very very relaxing. Yes, yes, still. I think so. Yes.

Yes. Well, let's do the tour. It's a check that seems to be sealed. Ah, sealed, do you have seals? It was really very very clever, but... Now, you're on the end of your tour. Yeah, I still have about fifteen shows left. A little bit spread out.

You started it anyway. Hey, that's starting to be flat. Do you want to bring it back? No, it's not you. It's me who didn't drink fast. I drank my vodka Coke Diet and I had my old beer's not you. It's me who didn't drink fast. I drank my vodka with a diet and I had my old beer. Thank you. Thank you for this information. I like that you explained everything. No, no, because I didn't want to have the guy who's like, here, take this.

No, but in fact I started my first one in November 2023. So it's probably going to end at about an et demi, deux ans de tournée. C'est ça qu'on fait quand on fait des tournées, c'est ça, ces deux ans avec le même show genre à peu près? Moi, je suis un fan de deux ans. Il y en a qui étire, puis il y en a d'autres qui font, moi j'aime ça jusqu'à 40 shows. Moi, tant qu'à écrire un show, j'aime ça le faire assez souvent. Non, je vais peut-être finir autour de, peut-être, I'll maybe finish around 110 representations. In that moment, are you already writing stock for your next one or not? For the moment, I haven't thought about that. Sometimes I take notes, but it happens at the moment that I test new gags in my show

because it seems like it keeps me on the alert sometimes to try two or three new gags by representation so I try them there but not bits, not chunks. But just a joke saying, ah it can become a number? A number or a gag that fits in my show, I do it like, ok I test it, if I like it enough sometimes I keep leaving it there to maybe insert it officially in my show. Anyway, my show is not yet captured, I will do a capture eventually so officially put it in my show. Anyway, my show hasn't been captured yet. I'll do a capture eventually. Sometimes I like to move things.

When are you going to do your capture? I don't know yet. It's in negotiation. OK. Negotiation. It's not me who's at the table negotiating. But it's... Do you think the meeting is at 10 o'clock?

Yes, exactly. Ha ha ha ha. Exactly. I can't... I'm going to miss important bits. No, no, but I'm involved in the conversation. Your party manager, Jean Thomas, Netflix, I want to meet you at 10 o'clock. We sign at Prime. Call the TVA. But you, do you want to make a capture plus YouTube? I'm going to make a capture, you know, the next one, it's not a sign yet, but it's going to be one of the big streamers.

Ok. Tag TV. Oh nice. Tag has some good references. Do you remember Tag TV? No. Do you remember that, Yann? Tag TV? Yes, that's it.

Or was it like Quebec YouTube? Yes, it was atrocious. Yes, that's it. It will be there. Tag TV, the reference. He died 2 for 1 at the big actors in Quebec. A good meat pie. No, we're going to make a... it's going to be for Netflix. Ah, nice!

Yes. That's great, bravo! Thank you. No, we're going to make a... it's going to be for Netflix. We're going to make it for Netflix. Ah, nice! Yeah. That's great, bravo! Thank you. You're welcome. But the reason why it's complicated is that Netflix usually buys live, and I didn't want them to buy live. So now it's going to be a deal that they have for two years, and then it comes back to me. But I would like them to keep it alive if they want,

but in two years I can do what I want. It was annoying that if after two years they make a vacuum, You can turn it off and... It was especially in eight years if we did what, and we say to each other, let's say a documentary, and we said, hey, it would be fun to take an excerpt of this, and then, either they don't want it, or they charge, you know, 20,000 dollars, and you know, all my projects, usually, you know, YouTube, so I can't pay 20,000 dollars to see an excerpt of me. But did you have in the talks, because I think, in my memory, Martin Matt had found it

a little bit difficult because he was always in the final editing and he said, hey, take that off, I don't know why. Well, that's what we did. You know, Martin, it was Martin's team that was taking care of the world. We are Netflix that takes care of editing,

but I want my name to say that I want to do this joke, that joke, that joke, and then edit it. But I don't want them to come back and edit it. Because Martin, Netflix came back and said, yeah, but capture just to adjust the brightness, the tint. So you mean the final editing, the humor, you have a right to look at it? For me it's important. And also my show lasts 1 hour 20, I want it to be 1 hour full. I don't like specials that are longer than an hour. So I want to decide what to cut, what not to cut. You're going to chop 20, but you want to decide what to chop.

I'm going to chop 20, but we're going to chop 1 hour 20. And I want it to be me who decides what to cut, what not to cut. I'm glad it's clarified, because it's been bothering me since we talked about it. We're going to make the announcement soon. But since it's not signed yet, I shouldn't have talked about it because it might not work. We had an offer, we're ready to accept the offer, but we just didn't sign it. So maybe it's a prank. Maybe it's someone. Maybe it's Yann who called me. He did it in a flash. But the guy told me his name was Mr. Netflix.

So... It seems credible to me. Yeah, yeah. Mr. Netflix sounded credible. Do you sometimes have the concern of being overexposed? Is that a question that an actor can have sometimes? Not in the sense that I of being overexposed? Is that a question an actor can have sometimes? Not in the sense that I find you overexposed. No, no, no, that's a good question. In fact, yes, yes, I think when we work,

a lot of us have this concern. But sometimes I realized that it's more the promo that sometimes traps us. In the sense that I have nothing against, let's say, Salut Bonjour or I don't know, Sucré Salé. I'm going to do these shows. People see me there and then they will say, hey, they see you everywhere, but they saw me there, but they didn't see the film or the series I'm talking about. So I find sometimes it's more the promo that becomes a little pernicious because it's a pre-sale service. I think it's important to do it to give people the taste to look at our business. But sometimes that's it.

You understand? It's like a fragile balance, I think. But I've never heard people say, we see it too much. Because I think people really like a good recording. No, and I make a lot of voices too. And the people who lie, you know, radio voices, voice of... La la la la la la la. Yeah, like... And also the people who lie to me. Radio voices, the voices of... Lalalalalala. Yeah, people.

Lalalalalala. It's you who does the lalalalalala. Oh yeah, okay. I didn't even notice. Yeah. But that's it. And there are people who are sensitive to that. There are people who don't hear it. But those who...

Hey, sometimes I listen to it. I don't know, I only have the radio. Let's say in the morning, and then I'm like, let's say two back-to-back. Two pubs. At that time, I got angry with myself, so I dare not even imagine someone who doesn't like me, because I still like myself a little. But that's it, I think there are some who are tanned, and who have their recurrent title of me, but that said, I'm trying, I'm trying to focus on one project at a time.

I think if you were doing too much business, your mother would tell you to stop. We're going too far. We're going too far. Stop. I would hate the world. It was announced this week, but I'm going to do the next daily on Radio-Canada, so I'm going to be there, wall to wall. Hey, when you accept that, it must be... you have to think about the Tabarnak crisis. It's a big job. It's crazy. You know, how many children do you have?

I have three. Three children. How old are they? I have one who is 19. I talked to her about it, but it's 0 to 1 concern. She's going to university. It's true that someone who goes to university is like, Dad! It's a shame she accepted that.

No, but I have two others who are 9 and 11. That's more problematic, but at the same time they don't have 3 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 I'm not saying it's a partial thing, that the girls in my blonde are far away. That's it. I don't know why I'm not saying it. No, we're not forcing you to say it. Ok, perfect. I'm just going to reassure people, it's a noble job. No, no, no.

You can go in and send children. No, no, you can say it, there's no trouble. It's a no, no. You know, yeah, it's... No, we can say it. There's no trouble. You go in, you send kids... No, no, we can say it. There's no trouble, but it's just that... It's an autodontism. Yeah, my wife is an autodontist, but you know, she has her own office. So she works... She works at the chair, but she works all the time. Seriously.

So, you know, I... Sometimes I feel bad because I'm an autonomous worker. So it's funny because before I came here, she asked me... By the way, we were preparing dinner and I left. And she said, what are you up to this week? Sometimes I try to find myself some activities. Sometimes I... Oh, this week...

Honestly, I got some texts and then I left. I have a reason, but sometimes... But at the same time, you have so many blitzes that... Yes, it's blitzes, but at the same time... I was going to say, someone who has a real job in life is always in a blitz. We are like a little... I wouldn't say I'm a little out of shape.

We have it every morning, Well, not every weekend. You know, it's really the same thing. I have an infinite respect. I'm like, oh, damn, 10 o'clock, little shit, I'm going to sleep. Laughter Applause You know, when you're not... You know, you actors,

it's longer days. But you know, yesterday are the actors, it's the longest days. But yesterday, I had two shows and I was like, it's long, two shows, but it's two shows in one hour and a quarter. It's two shows in one hour and a quarter, it takes me an hour to come back, an hour. I spent half a day in a Tim Horton, and I'm like, not easy. And my job is to get people to applaud me. It's absurd. That's it. You're really lucky.

We're lucky. So yes, to come back to... It was a decision. The first person I talked to was my blonde. I said, I'm going to get this proposed. What do you think? She said, go ahead. It's your job, let's go. We'll settle it.

It seemed like it would immediately relieve me of a lot of pressure. Do you have... We hear this often, but I don't know if you have this, because you work a lot, do you have the concern of not saying no to this project because I'm afraid to be forgotten or or the phone won't ring anymore. Do you think about that? No, I've been really lucky.

Honestly, since I started working, I've never stopped. I think the longest stretch I've had without having anything to do with it has been six months. I have a lot of things ahead of me. Quebec-Montréal, is that the only project you wrote? I wrote the other one we did after, which is called Orloge Biologique. Oh Chris, ok, yeah yeah. And then I stopped. You at the same time, but it's weird that you stopped, but it's because you work too much.

Yeah, I work a lot, so I have like a post... So if you can stop getting hired, you're going to write another masterpiece. Well no, well no, it's not a masterpiece, but it's films that worked well. Did your mother like the watch? No, no, just to know. No, no, a Christian, yes. No. According to me, she said, focus on the acting profession.

No, no, but I think she was proud that we were participating, that we were writing too. I think she thought it was odd that we were doing this, but at the same time, there was something that came to the fore. But not really. All along your career, it had to relieve stress. Because an actor, you know, the big stress is, if I stop playing roles, what am I going to do? But if you stop playing roles,, you will write another role. Technically, it's been 20 years, so you will be rusted the first 20 pages. It's very funny because I had a more peaceful end. And then, when my blonde asks me what I'm talking about in the week,

I started writing about what with one of my friends who also had time. And it's probably going to die in the computer. I started writing with one of my friends who also had time. And you know, it's probably going to die in the computer, but just to lend yourself to the game, just to do the exercise, I really found it very fun. You know, when it comes up, you know, I was just with my friend, and he doesn't even live here, you know, and the technology now is fascinating. He's at home, he's in Italy, I'm there, we're together, we spend three hours together in the afternoon writing. It's super trippy. But I don't know.

But it seems like you didn't trust it. In the sense that you were already saying that it was an abandoned project. No, it's not an abandoned project. But when I started this, I already knew that the big project of La Cotidienne was coming. I would say that it will occupy a good part of my time. Not a sideline, but in parallel. Yes, in parallel, but I won't have time to describe in parallel. Do you teach your collaborator tonight? If he listens, he will... No, but he knew. No, no, he knew. He knew it was going a be a bit of a mess.

When you write a project, do you write a character that you think will be me or not at all? Not at all. Before that, when I wrote Quebec Montréal, I knew the part I was thinking about. Did you write Patrice? No. Ok, that would have been sick. I knew who I was going to play, but no, he obviously wasn't called Patrice. By the way, in Les Beaux-Malaise, my character was called Patrick and I didn't like that.

In life, people often make mistakes, but he calls me Patrick. I don't like that because it's not my name. It's close, but it's like that. In life, people often make mistakes, but my name is Patrick. I don't like that. Because it's not my name. It's close, but it's not that. I thought it was close. I dream a little bit like that. My name is Patrick. Hey Patrick!

No, no, but honestly, I would never hit. It's not my nature. But I don't like that. And I thought it was very, very close to my real name. It was confusing. I thought, if it was confusion, we'd have to increase it. Especially because Martin is Martin. Martin is Martin, Julie is Julie,

and I'm Patrick. I thought Martin thought I was Patrick. Did you see that? That's how I like you? I guess so. Yes, yes, yes. I think it's good. I think it's good. For real. You must have talked about it a lot. Yes, of course I talked about it a lot.

I already said it, but you know, François is so fun because I know that when he writes, he thinks of me. So it's a bit of a surmeasure. I see it. When I read the article, I... He knows your I was lucky. It was your career. Yes, it was the same thing. I have a lot of very talented friends. It was fun to do my first steps with Ricardo, with Jean-Philippe. It was really fun. We went to the bat, everyone together, to defend what belonged to us.

It changed the way people perceived us in the environment. Instead of starting and you play in whatever starting and playing in your first weapons, we arrived with our project, our color, our sauce and our... Even if you're young, you arrived with credibility. It's like saving 10 or 15 years. Yes, and it really sends a message to others. We did that. I think the collective helped you mutually,

because you arrived with a really precise tone. It was like a color that stood out. I think we had to do a domino. I think we weighed on the piton of irreverence. And when we wrote Quebec Montréal, we were worried that it had to sound like we were talking. We wanted it to sound like that. That it didn't sound too scripted. Exactly.

And you know, it's a film, but for Quebec TV, it's been a problem for a long time. When I listened to people talking, I was like, Who talks like that? Nobody talks like that. It sounds like it's Guy Fournier who writes, because it was him. He wrote all the series. He wrote all of them. I didn't know. Wait, is that him?

Hey, Yann, do you have any questions? Yes, I have some good questions. Great. I have one for Jean Thomas. Did you get any help or did Big Bro bother you in your game this time? Oh, it sure hurt me. It sure hurt me because in games like that, often the reflex is to eliminate the player who won. You don't make the same mistakes as those who made that mistake in his season. So, surely, I was well off and I made some mistakes afterwards,

and I was unlucky afterwards. But I still got to day 64. I didn't expect to go that far. But surely it was a good result. Where did you expect to go? I was hoping to go to the jury, which I did. A little bit further. I think I was the third member of the jury.

But I was hoping to go to the jury because it was like a task that... I listen to these shows and I think it's a fun task. It's like you feel like you're there all the time, you're part of all the stages of the game. So, that's it. It was a tough season. It's tough, 64 days because of sleep problems. But I'm happy to have done it.

I wanted to live a different experience. It was a different coalition. But yes, it was more of a positive bad thing. The fact that you won, it ruined you. We were 3 winners out of 16. You see, Danek and Stéphanie are participants 2 and 3. I'm still staying until week 9 or 10. Anyway, day 64. I'm a day guy, I'm not a guy you know. No, that's it. Every time you talked to me, we talked twice since then, but every time

you tell me the number of days, and I do it all the time. But it's funny that you say the number of days. No, but it's because we have so many references. You have to know what day we are, because you have to remember what happened, you have to do a quiz about it. But we don't wait for weeks. It's like if you see a pregnant girl, and you're waiting for months,

or at least weeks, you don't wait for... 64 days! Not easy when you're 71. I like to be disappointed. You, I'll call you back. I like to be disappointed. You're the fun to be disappointed. You're the fun in general, but you're particularly pleasant to be disappointed.

You're the fun. Excellent. I think you have a nice voice tonight. There are a lot of questions for Patrice. I'm always here, but Patrice is never there. I talked a lot. It not a question for someone else. Yes, but there is still a good one. Simon asks, has the episode of the conjugal violence of the beautiful Malaises had a positive impact on him or on him overall? No, but it's a good question because I was was uncomfortable. I didn't want to do that. You were so uncomfortable.

Because your name was Patrick and it's close to Patrick. No, but I'm comfortable talking about it because I talked about it with Martin. When I read the episode, I found it flat that it was my character... I found it flat that my character would be the one who becomes violent. You wanted the character of Perid to look like a blonde, but you said there was still a lesbian. No, but like I said, I'm comfortable talking about it because I talked about it with Martin and Robin Haubert,

who directed it, and I found it flat that it was the guy who made vulgar jokes. Yeah, I understand. My point was that I said, there are always good times. It's on TVA, then it's on... I don't remember, 2. It plays a lot of times. And I found that from the moment you know it's a guy who beats his blonde, his bull joke is not funny anymore. Season 1, his joke in Grisboise, for me, it's not funny anymore. He's becoming a little infrequent, in my opinion.

It made him too antipathetic. It really made him antipathetic. I didn't know that it was that. And to answer the question, if we had a discussion, the whole gang together, and the people were really okay with each other. I was a little bit alone in my gang, and I said, okay, I'll do it to the best of my abilities,

but I was like, I was a little unhappy, honestly, to do it, but what can you do? And then we did it in a context of COVID. Listen, it was ridiculous. It was Catherine Proulomé who was doing my blonde, but there was a whole thing of minute work. You can't be too close. You can't be close to the person more than seven minutes, I don't know, there was a whole thing of minuteing. You couldn't be too close. You couldn't be close to the person for more than seven minutes.

I don't know, there was a whole thing of timing. It's weird, a scene of co-jugal violence that someone did. You hit him too long. No. But it was a bit of that. And then there was a double. So the girl was there for me to hold her arm. That's it, that's her function, it was ridiculous.

When we shot Catherine's face, it was Catherine. And then the one I was holding an arm to was a poor girl. She was there just for that, it was ridiculous. With her mask and... Anyway, that said, that was cool. Martin wrote to me, in fact he called me and said that this episode was great to describe this issue. I don't know what the name of the line is, but I think it's like, violence, I listen, or I don't know. I think you made an amalgam, but we understood.

Violence, I listen. The line for... Violence, I listen. I love it. I imagine the telephone operator likes it. Violence, I listen. How are you, madam? There were a lot of people who called. It's not good news, but at the same time it's good news. And if you're comfortable, and if you're the only time you've had a discomfort with a text, do you happen to...

No, listen, I was already offered to play... Hey, that was weird. I was offered to play... That was weird. We proposed to play in a theater, in a show, it was a creation, and it was a great poster, you know, a director I really like, a very, very good author and a great game partner. But it was like to do a little... the story of Guy Turcotte. Okay, talent, Guy Turcotte.

Callis, you. Only violent guys. Well, I don't know if we can call him a fighter. And you, you didn't want to be Guy Turcot because you were afraid that after we learned that he would be more nice when we listened to him the next time. I'm going to hold my breath. Oh fuck yeah. I don't know what to say. No but...

I think your joke is good, Mike. He's red. He's red but he's good. Oh yeah, you played Guy Turcan. No, but obviously it wasn't him. It was the base. It was really inspired by him. It was a play, and wasn't him, but it was the base. It was inspired by him. It was a play, and in the play, the guy was drowning his kids.

I had two kids at the base. I said to myself, it's not true, I'm going to do this for 30 hours, and you're drowning kids. It didn't tempt me to live this thing. Especially you, when you said that and I have 16 hours left. I'm going to do this. 32 kids. He said that and I had 16 more nights. 32, finally! We're making jokes here, it's not funny. I had a real discomfort and I said I was going to skip my turn.

It happens to me to have discomfort. But if it wasn't a movie, because for real, a movie on... Well, I imagine a movie on the story of Guita-Cott or Stapies, it's not the hero of the movie, I imagine. If it's the hero, it was badly thought out. But you, let's say, play, you know, because I understand your discomfort for the character, the handsome guys, since it was the guy we love, the funny guy, that you realize, hey, the guy is funny, funny, he's ultimately a woman's fighter, but you know,

playing a serial killer or a... I don't have... No, I don't have any trouble with that. You know, I've already done it. I did it with Laurence LeBeouf, a film called The Little Train. It's inspired by the story of Geneviève Jansson. I was her trainer. He abused her physically. He was really not nice.

He was a puffin. I hug her in there, I'm really... I like the way he acts. No, but I sexually hug him. It was really not easy scenes, but... You know, I don't have... How can I say this? I'm able to play those things, even if it's not pleasant. In the work, with Lawrence, we obviously talked about it.

All of that is well done. We play, we pretend. But I already did it in another film with Céline Bonnier. I had to beat a lady. What is your life in the game? No, but it was really a lady who did the double. And I had to kick her on the side of a car. And I was so upset because the stuntwoman was a lady...

Seriously, I would say 55 plus. And I was like... Exactly. And then she said to me, Give me a kick! Give me a kick! I wasn't able to. Seriously, I was like, well, madam, I was giving her a kick, but it seemed like I wasn't hitting her hard. I wasn't able to hit the lady.

And then she said, no, I'm not ready. Go ahead. I'm not ready. Give me a kick! I had a little kick there, but... Not to my taste, not to my strength. I thought you were going to say, not to my taste. Not to my strongest taste. I thought you were going to say, not to my taste. Because it's stronger. But... But...

It must be weird. When you play this, you have to put yourself... You become the guy. Yes, yes. You're violent. But then you go... And there's nothing worse than having a game partner who's out of control, because sometimes they hurt you for real. You go, well, stop it, you're a moron.

They're supposed to be... Some are tough and they don't have... They're not aware of their body. Exactly, and they're strong too, obviously. But no, I try not to hurt people who play. It's true! Yes, I understand. It has to remain a game.

Yes, of course. If you're in a quarrel, are you okay? Did I hurt you when I grabbed you? If you want to play a little role in a scene, let yourself go. And we'll take it. Yann, another question. The question for Jean Thomas, are you cold with François Lambert from Big Brother? Are you still cold?

Can you explain the context a little? The context is that it wasn't as good as it was. François was your BFF for season 1. It was more difficult, but I don't want to get into it here. Because he's very susceptible. If I get into what I see on the internet, he's quite susceptible. He's still doing a post to counter-explain. No, but for real, it's okay.

In the context of the game, we didn't play with the same people, it was more difficult. But it's a guy I like a lot. I have affection for him, even if I realized we were more different than I thought. I already knew that. It took you two seasons to realize that we're not the same. plus différent que je pensais, je le savais déjà, mais ça a peut-être été un peu plus exacerbé. Ça t'a pris deux saisons avant de réaliser qu'on n'est pas pareil pareil. Non mais moi j'aime ça les différences, pour vrai c'est un monsieur qui me divertit, il a plein de belles qualités, on s'est rendu compte de contrastes dans nos personnalités qui ont été un petit peu plus

amplifiées dans cette saison-là. Il y a des bouts qui ont été rough, il a fallu qu'on se parle après, puis on s'est parlé, puis c'est correct, tu sais, dans le sens que de toute façon, There were some things that were rough, we had to talk afterwards. We talked and it was okay. It wasn't someone I was hanging out with. He was very busy and so was I. We didn't talk that much. It was very cordial and I think I still hope it will be like that. It's a very complicated context of the game, Big Brother. I think that my relationship with François,

I shared it a little differently than with others because we had a historian, there were other people who knew each other. But you took it for granted a little. I didn't take it for granted. No, I didn't take it for granted. What has a little to do with our trajectory is that we had not promised anything before. We had talked and I had just said, let's promise ourselves to promise nothing, but just not to try to get our relationship involved. That's complicated. I've heard that before. It's a heavy, nasty sentence. Let's promise not to promise anything.

It's an infidel guy's sentence that goes south with his white shirt. Look! We'll try it, but promise us you won't promise us anything. There was a post by the 8 players who came back and were on social media. The accompanying post was among the 8 champions who sent the biggest target. 70% of the comments were me answering. I was like, fuck. We talked to each other. We said to ourselves, it's for sure that people will want to separate us from the beginning of the game.

Because we were the most obvious duo who had worked together throughout the season. We said to ourselves, let's be careful not to talk too much, not to let the magnifying glass be too much on us. But I think it made sure that just didn't know how to talk enough. I was thinking, we'll just be able to talk very succinctly and it will be enough. But apparently not. No, but it's correct. It's for real, it's going to be fine. We're going to do quality sex make-up.

And it's going to be fine sex makeup. And without being... Yeah, that's it. There's a question from Antoine who asks, it's for Jean Thomas, has he opened the slush package of the guy from Bé du Fèvres? Can you explain what that is? Oh, that's a weird question. The fact that he says it's slush, I don't want to open it.

So it means it's him. It's not because of the package. He's still alive, so the answer is no. I haven't opened the package yet because I put it in my car. After that, I had car problems and now I just got my car back. So I'm going to open it, but it's stand-by, and I'm very, very weak, but a little worried to open it. But it was a heavy box,

I remember. You'll thank him, you'll say I haven't opened it yet, but I'm going to do it. And I remember very well, he stayed after the show. But you received that in what context? Yann is not obliged to say that you haven't opened it. I imagine the guy listens.

Yes, indeed. He's not just on Messenger with Yann. Hey, it's time to pay me the 4$ on Patreon, ask him that. No, no, you're right. I was a little ridiculous. I had a show at Ville du Feuve, he stayed after the show. He told me, I don't want photos, I don't want autographs. Here's a very heavy box. In fact, it's not him who said that, but I noticed that it was heavy. I haven't opened it yet, but I've...

He gave you the box, but he didn't say anything? He said it cost 300$ on Amazon. Was it wrapped? No, it was a brown box on Amazon. It's clear, it's a button thing. Well, at 300$, the button should be... 300$ for a button. Maybe it's two buttons taped around a flashlight.

It's gonna be... It's gonna be true. You'll say thank you in advance for what I'm gonna open. Did your car fall into a breakdown after the gift? Between B Saint-Paul and Montréal? B du Feuvre. B du Feuvre and Montréal? I don't remember exactly the chronology of the mechanics.

No, but it's just, has it been four months since you've had that? No, no, no, it's been three weeks since that show. I have problems with the car, but I kind of forgot about it. Because in my room, it's just hockey sticks, hockey sticks, tennis rackets and pickleball. So it's kind of my locker. So I kind of forgot that this box existed. Thanks for reminding me, I'll open it up soon. You should do an unboxing.

You know, you put that on your TikTok. Yeah, but the guy who said it was ugly, it looks like I didn't... No, but it's clear, it's ugly! If someone writes, what did he think of that? It's clear that it's something... Yeah, but the fact that he said it was ugly already, it looks like it puts me on... But even if you film your unboxing, even if it's ugly, you don't have to upload it, you don't have to do,

oh, call if it happened to me. We put it on social media. You've done a lot of unboxing in your life on social media. Did you do unboxing? I've never done unboxing. We could unbox my box together. Yeah. Okay. I would. I would like a little project like that.

Yeah, we could... I would go do ped pedaling at your cottage. Exactly! We unbox it. You're keen to do it alone. If it's good, you keep it. If it's not good, we'll put it in your lake. Yeah, it's very ecological. Yeah, that's it.

Well, Yann, how many questions are left? There's one left. Okay, perfect. Yann, how many questions are left? There's one left. Ok, perfect. It's for Patrice. Dave is asking, what attracts you to a role that you say yes without hesitation? Admit it, what role does it play? I like that he sees you.

I think that's good. It's funny because my friend Stéphane Breton told me that when we started in the middle, I think he had this adage from a veteran or a veteran, he said there are three reasons. Money, the gang and the challenge, the role. It takes two out of three. I often say it takes two out of three or a strong one. OK. It's true, it can be, I don't know, at the beginning of your career, you can say, Akrim, I'm going to play with this person,

this is someone I wanted to play with, it's an important meeting. Or it can be financial, you can say, hey, I'm going. It's often one or two. But basically, you have to... I often say that someone thinks of you for a role, it's already super flattering, there's something... Just to make an interesting reading, because you're being sent the script and you're like,

Ah, Kim, the person imagines me to defend that thing. It's sure there's something interesting. As I was saying, sometimes there are projects that I refuse, but at one point, we have to win our lives. So you know, I have so many projects, I crawl under the projects, I crawl under them, and I say no to that. I think there's not that much time

that is refused by so many things. You have to be realistic. I would say it takes two of the three. Or a very strong one. That would be my answer. Do you have a collaboration or a role that you hope to be submitted or proposed? Do you have something in mind? No, I swear, that's true, I don't have that.

Because as I said, it's a job of meeting, and it's a job of precisely... You know, we don't want to define ourselves in the eyes of others. There's something in the psychoanalysis, but there's a bit of that too. I think if we were attracted to do this work, it's like we were on a stage somewhere in our path, and we felt good in that place, with the eyes of the people who were looking at us. I think it comes to get a little drama somewhere,

and it comes to validate something. And I think that as long as there are people who will think of me by reading something and who will have the desire to work with me, well, it's those roles that I will have the desire to defend, you understand? Yes, I understand. And I just want to know, when you said for the theater, that every time you were like, ok, I just have 12 more minutes. Yeah, but I... Is that... You, in front of the audience,

is that a huge stress? Or not so much? Because you don't have to stress yourself. Well, no, but it's a... Honestly, you know, Jean-Thomas said that earlier about Cyrano, but after that, I think I did four or five shows after that. And you didn't have that stress? No, I didn't have that stress. I did shows afterwards where I would say we shared a little more the pie. Cyrano, that's it, because the load is so big.

But after that, as I told you, I did other shows where everyone had their time of play. Everyone had their time of ice quite well shared. I wasn't stressed and I didn't count the performances. But that's it, because there's like's something, it becomes a bit of madness. You talk about your voice, but then you become super conscious. You say, I hope my voice will be okay. You become a bit too conscious of everything. You say, if I'm sick, I won't be up to it.

Now, in any case, the last times I did theater, I wasn't there. I assure you, it's going well. But I would like to do that again, but I don't know. Lately, the proposals that have been made, it hasn't been a hit. And I find theater, it's really that, it's the paradox, it's the place where I get the most satisfaction, because I get in touch with the public, I find it sick. But at the same time, I find it the most demanding thing.

I find it really demanding to go and do it again. You really do it for the gain. And for the content, because money is the crisis of the moment. No, no, that's not it. Well, the crisis of the moment. No, no, but at the same time, it's that, you shouldn't... Let's compare your job to 4 or 5 days a week. Exactly, it has nothing to do with it, but at the same time, are a lot of people in our business who make their

living doing theater, and it's super noble. And at the same time, it's crazy. When you see a theater show, it's good. You're happy to be there and you're happy to see it evolve on stage. So that's it. I find this job very noble. I have a lot of respect for the actors and actresses who do a lot of scenes. It's really... hat off!

I'm not sure if you need to close or I had a question. No, but I want to know, you, let's say... You think I'm an excellent actor? No, but what... well, one, you just... the only times we saw you as an actor, it's... A bad guy? I played twice inalaise twice. I thought you were following my career a little more carefully. Sorry.

So you played Beaumalaise twice. Your father, Poul. Father Poul? I wrote the lyrics. I also did... I'm on my ass. Another series with... Oh yeah, that's true. With Juliane on Lib TV, a platform my wife listened to a lot.

Yeah, yeah, that's it. I don't think it was up, Lib TV. Lib TV was so complicated, I don't know if you remember. It was video-tron. You had to be a subscriber to Vidéotron, and then you had to... It was very simple. It was like an email to commercialvidéotron.ca They sent you a code,

you called PKP, you said the code. It was complicated. I played in the fishermen, in those guys. I think I'm really... I had already counted that I had approached by Hugo Giroud in the series O. Eric Tessier, the director, saw me in the role. Ok. It was all people with beautiful eyes. It fits.

Oh, damn. It's true, the show, it was like, it seemed like that's what it was about. You had to have beautiful eyes. Are you a sacrosanct at the moment? No, well no. I like that he didn't say, Oh, I know why he thought of you, because I see that you have a natural talent for actors.

No, no, that's for sure. He was like, you have beautiful eyes. No, but Eric Tessier is a fan of my humor. He often comes to my shows and all that. And then he had proposed it to my agency. And then my agency said, I think you should go to the audition because you're not like a front runner, but they really see you in the role.

Did you think they really offered the role if you had to go to the audition? No, but in the sense that it was like, in the pitch that was made to my agent, it was we really see him in there. We still want to validate. It was an audition to confirm. But he had to come audition and you had to

pay for casting photos? No, no, no. Maybe I wasn't that ahead no matter how my agent presented me. And then I had said I had asked I had asked my agent, for real, the text is serious, there's no gag, there's nothing that looks like me in there.

It was like a mechanic, a bit of a magician. Playing another thing. I know, but there was no humorous tone. Let's say it was like a kind of guy a little mischievous, who crawls all thels, or whatever. That's what I think. But then it was like,

I had to do a scene where I was grabbing Maxime Roy by the pelvis in a confident way. I was like, I won't be able to do that. I would offer him pomegranate nuts, and then come in time, my beauty. I was like, I had said, my agent had said, it would be cool if you were at the audition, it would be good at least if you were at the audition, for after, if people want to think of you, who know that you go to the auditions. Then I told my friend Juliane, can you come and help me practice?

And she was crying and laughing at every reply I said. She said, you're good, you're okay, it's just that I know you too well, you look ironic when you talk. So I had to grab her pelvis and she was peeing on the floor. I was like, Come closer to me. I don't know what to do. You have a nice pelvis, my beautiful. That wasn't the text. But I need my bubble in life.

So imagine Maxime Aurore who doesn't know me. I have to go to the audition and I have to grab it. I would have asked for permission 26 times before. Would you be okay if I looked confident by grabbing the basin? By giving you pomegranate nuts. By giving you pomegranate nuts. By giving you pomegranate nuts. Did you ever play? Did you ever play when you were younger?

Did you ever do a theater show in high school? No, not really. I never played. You never did improv. You, Mike? No. You never put a little ball, a little something. No, I did...

You know, in primary school, I played in two theater plays. I don't remember if it was Coulomb, but I had a good role. I think I would have talent in that. And the next session, I played a tree. And I was like... A composition role. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good enough to be like... the same.

So I was like, OK, we're going to be funny. The place, you know. But for real, I would like that. You know, like, Provencal Jaffa had a role in... That's I would like that. Sometimes, like Jean-François Provençal had a role in... Yes, that's how I like it. And I think playing something in that style, which is maybe a little bit... You know, a little bit left-handed, not necessarily funny, but what is it? But something left-handed, I have the impression that I could be fit.

But maybe that's what he saw in that role, that it was a bit left-wing. Yeah, but... Did you go to the audition? No, I didn't go. You didn't? Julien killed my confidence. No, but after that, I told my agent,

if I go there, knowing myself, I'm going to go into the audition room saying, listen, here's a disgusting proposal, but you're going to have it. So here it is. I would have been really upset before because I didn't have any confidence. I would have had the impression of not being cool towards Maxime Roy by being too harsh. So I didn't go. I didn't go. I didn't go, but I thanked Eric Tessier for the confidence. But I think that when I listened to the series afterwards out of curiosity,

I would have had the impression that my fans were really happy. I thank Eric Tessier for the trust. But I think that when I listened to the show, out of curiosity, Chris, I had the impression that my fans would say to each other, Jean Thomas is doing a gag just for us, while playing in a show that looks like fuckers. Honestly, I was like... It would have been crazy. Jean Thomas is fucking the show up, while being in it. He's trolling the chameaux.

It was like... My fans will say, well, he's doing this just for us. He wants all our replies, all those replies to seem... ... improbable. Rophalois, do you know what I think your first big role will be? Guy Turcotte at the theater. That would be sick. Hey guys, thank you so much!

Thank you for being here! Thank you very much! Thank you all! Thank you, Yann! Happy Chantal's Day! Happy Chantal's Day! Bonne fête, Jean-Thier! you
