Starting point is 00:00:00 In direct from the Bordel Comedy Club in Montreal, here is Mike Ward, under the ear! Thank you very much! Thank you! Good evening! Welcome Mike Ward, under the ear. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome to Mike World. Thank you so much. We have a big show for you. Yann Thériault is right there. I would like to hear her applause. Yann, I forgot. This is the second, we did the fundraising for Alain Godet, and we put in 40,000 dollars each year. Wow!
Starting point is 00:00:54 A little more than 40,000. I was so happy because, Alain, when we started this, it's been a long time since we started doing these fundraising, it had started when the government wanted to put him in a CHSLD. And he said that if there were 30,000 more, he could manage his world. Since there are volunteers, but hire people to take care of him 24 hours a day. I was like, if we do a show and we put the tickets, 30$ per person, we'll sell 1000$, we'll collect 30$. So I said, we'll do that every year. And we started doing that. The flaw in that is that the room, you have to pay.
Starting point is 00:01:35 But everyone did that for free. All the workers, they did it for free. And we started doing that. The problem was that the room had to be rented. But everyone did it for free. All the humorists did it for free. I did it for free. No one was paid except the room. And every year, he needed 30,000 at the beginning. In the first year, we needed 30,000. We gave him 27,000. In the second year, he needed 32,000, we gave him 27,000. Second year, we needed 32,000, we gave him 29,000. We were always giving him almost enough. And I felt bad every year, I was like,
Starting point is 00:02:15 God, that's not enough for Valin. And then one of his friends made me realize, No, but you just don't give him enough that he doesn't have the choice to work from home. So you keep him hungry a little. And then, I was like, Chris, it's true, I'm going to give him less, he's going to be even more hungry. But every year, we gave him, you know, the first, les premières années, j'étais comme comment t'as besoin, comment t'as besoin, pis on donnait tout le temps un peu under, pis là moi j'étais comme non non mais il est correct de son bar, pis on continue à faire ça,
Starting point is 00:02:55 et l'année passée j'y avais demandé, j'avais fait, t'as besoin de combien par année, pis How much do you need per year? He said he was missing about 70,000. And I was like, we're in a mess! Alain needs to finish a mess! But fortunately, Alain is so good at collecting money. He made it a real foundation. It's a foundation that helps two other people. He collects $100,000 a year to help two other people who are left with a pyramidal chain.
Starting point is 00:03:36 This year, for example, we collected $28,000000, 32,000, 34,000. This year, it was the first time we weren't sold out. And I was like, damn, it's pissing me off. I said, okay, we're going to give, I had a nice year this year. So I did, me and Michel, we're going to give 10,000 to two. And I say that on stage because I wanted to get 30,000. I said to myself, 30,000 will help his foundation. My goal was 30,000.
Starting point is 00:04:15 And we sold 200 tickets less, but what I didn't think was that we had raised the prices. So even if we had sold less tickets, we had made a little more money than last year. And then I was like, I told them we were giving 10,000. So then I told Michel, I did it, and you're at ease to... You know, me and Michel, the way we walk, the money that comes in, I take 80%, Michel takes 20%, so I was just saying, it's just logical that the money that comes out, Michel gives 80%, I keep 20%, it's from the donor, donor. So we gave, then I was there telling myself, he will reach what he had last year, but then Michel told me, he said, no, we had about the same thing last year.
Starting point is 00:05:11 So with the 10,000, it's 10,000 more. And I also wanted to thank Sonia Van Satcher, who is there every year, who collects money, after she walks around the room, and she gives the world for donations, and she collects cash. If you don't know, Sonia Van Satcher, Google her, but in a private browser. Because... Thank you, thank you, Sonia, thank you everyone, thank you to all the humorists who participated.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Alain brought me so much into my life, thank you Alain for existing. Alain sees me as his father, his second father, and I see him as my son, Chris. I'm proud of him, I love him a lot. That's all I wanted to say. I made notes, Yann, I got my car repaired on TikTok, but I also made... Wait, no, that's not it. Okay. I wanted to thank you and I wrote...
Starting point is 00:06:39 I was going to make a video with a guy named Johan, he makes drinks in his bar. One day he said, hey tag Mike Ward, he was doing a review of my Vodka Cola Diet, and he said tag Mike Ward, and if he answers, I'll get this thing shot. And I just answered, I hope I'm the one who's going to win. And then, Michel, you know, we went to his neighborhood to do a show, and Michel said, hey Mike, I'm going to make a video with you. I went to his house, he was super hungry. It was really fun. And the same day, I made a video with the Fit Cook,
Starting point is 00:07:31 that it was, it was, Calis is fit. This guy is in shape, in tabarnak. And there's something I realized, that I'm not expressing myself well with Michel, because he wanted to make a drink. And he was asking Michel what Mike would like. And then Michel told me what kind of drink you would like, what do you want him to propose. I said, look, I'm going to go with this. You know, I'm just going to drink Vodka Coke Diet. But I wanted to say, do anything.
Starting point is 00:08:06 If I drink vodka with diet coke, I will adapt to what they drink. And the reason why I always say that I drink just vodka with diet coke is that people make me drinks, and there are too many things to do, and I'm diabetic, so after I almost fall into a diabetic coma. But the Fit Cook is all about gluten-free, so I should have told Michel, hey, Fit Cook, decide to put what he wants, since he's a guy from fitness, but since we had told him, Mike, he just drinking Vodka Coke Diet, I went to his place, and he made me a Vodka Coke Diet.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And it was delicious. It was perfect. And then he gave it to me. He was like, I know you don't like that. The syrup, I could have put that in. And then I was like, I'll take one. So then I just went to his place. It was like I was making a grocery store. I emptied his basement and I just wanted to thank him. Thank you, Fit Cook.
Starting point is 00:09:13 We can applaud him, I think. I was like, I think his name was Oli or Sam. And when I googled, he didn't say his name anywhere. So he must be angry that I said, maybe his real name. But I don't know if it's Oli or Sam, or maybe his real name is Fit. It would be smart. But it was really fun. So, hey, yes, that's it. Oh, Asti, another thing. That's hey, yes, that's it. Oh, she's saying, another thing.
Starting point is 00:09:45 That's it, I never make a note. I signed my divorce papers this week. And... Thank you. And it's funny, you know, because of my ex, we get along really well together. I was the one who brought her to the lawyer, because she doesn't like that, I'm in Montreal. So, you know, we get along really well. I was the one who brought her to the lawyer, because she didn't like it when I took her to Montreal. We get along really well.
Starting point is 00:10:09 She had to bring her birth certificate, and she forgot her birth certificate at her friend Suzanne's. My lawyer wrote to me eight times. She was like, don't forget your birth certificates, it takes the original, it takes the original. So when she didn't have it, I was like, Asti, it takes the original. So I was like, Asti, we can, we can,
Starting point is 00:10:36 I'm going to call Hubert, Asti. You know, UberEats, they do, you can deliver things that aren't food. So I said, I'm going to call Hubert so he can deliver. And she was like, no, maybe we don't need it. I said, no, the lawyer, stop telling me we need it. I called her friend Suzanne, and I said, there's an UberAid coming to your house. She said, no, I can bring it to you, but maybe you don't need it. I said, yes, I need it.
Starting point is 00:11:00 The lawyer told me 20 times that I needed it. I said, no, you don't need it. And then I was like, yes, I need it. The lawyer told me 20 times that I needed it. And I was like, no, maybe you don't need it. And I was like, Christ! She wrote to me in the morning, I didn't need it. So unless the law changes after 9.30, I need it. So she said, yes, I'll bring it to you. I was like need it. So she said, I'll bring it to you. I said, perfect.
Starting point is 00:11:25 So we get to the lawyer, we sign the papers, I say, OK, her friend is going to bring the birth certificate. Suzanne, she wrote to us, she said, I just had an accident with my car. And then, I couldn't go. And then I was like, you're a jerk. I said that to the lawyer. I said, she can't come here. And she said, I doesn't need me. No!
Starting point is 00:11:48 I did it again, smooth. Don't tell that to Suzanne. I told Suzanne to scan. I'm sorry Suzanne, I owe you a Lexus. Okay. Let's start this. Yann, are you ready to start this? Yes, sir. Yes. I always take notes and it's useless. But we have this week... Well, that's it. So Yann Yanuk, when you want... No, that's it.
Starting point is 00:12:27 He already introduced me. Yanuk did his job. Yes, that's it. I'm well-melted. Yes, I'm well-melted in crisis. I'll take another guy. Well, I'm correct. This week, I have two guests who have already come to the show. One of them is the winner of the last season of Big Brother Celebrity.
Starting point is 00:12:54 The other one was his ghostwriter on social media. Ladies and gentlemen, here are Sinem Kara and Dua Kachash! Here we have Sinem Kara and Dua Kachash. Thank you so much. Thank you Sinem. It's okay. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you very much. How long have you been out of Big Brother? It's been a month and a half.
Starting point is 00:13:25 A month and a half? Yes. How long does it take before you get used to seeing people who aren't just the same? Honestly, I think it took me a week to get used to it. Maybe I'm not out yet and I don't realize it. You're're crazy. I think that winning comes with so many positives that you forget the negative. It's like, well, it's okay. Rich people have no problem.
Starting point is 00:13:52 That's it. And it was like, your chum, you must be so happy to see him. Yes, I was happy, but honestly, I was in a bubble. You know, at home, I was so busy thinking about the game that I had forgotten the outside world. I wasn't in the mood, oh my God, I had to find crystals. I was a little bit in a psychosis. But I talked to your husband. Yes, I said we're a troupe.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I'm always there. You called him every day? Yes, every day. We helped each other. It was a therapy. When I cried, he comforted me. When he cried, I comforted him. Sometimes we were like, hold on, he was like, okay. But you know, you said, well, that's because Doua, you know, we work a lot together and she made my social networks because we know each other well, so she knew what to put,
Starting point is 00:14:53 what to do, so she was very involved in the process. And did you reread your stuff that she wrote in September and you made? I was stuck. I would like her to make my social media all the time, but she... You know, she's a singer, so... She has a career to manage. And when she comes back next year to Big Brother... I don't think she's going to ask me to do social media. I'm not very good at it.
Starting point is 00:15:16 There are always old chanelais... Ok. ... who dance the ballad. You know, like... She writes... You know, she puts dates in her face. I'm like, it won't work. So, did people think...
Starting point is 00:15:30 Did you receive messages like, Hey, who hacked the account in cinemas? It's not shit! It's fucking good! Do you know where to put the... Do you know where to put the right tag? All her friends were like, Ah, that's beautiful!
Starting point is 00:15:47 Yeah, really, it's so beautiful. Even at one point, your husband thought that in the beginning, she left me her cell phone, it wasn't announced yet that you were coming home. But I had kept it so I could keep it active. Oh, yeah, instead of having the password, you could be obliged, you just had her cell phone. No, no, I had her Instagram, but...
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah, you'll see why. But he thought I was Sinem. He No, no, I had his Instagram. You'll see why. But he thought I was Sinem. He said Sinem? I said yes, honey. I was like, wow! I was like, no, it's a prank! I don't know, it's a joke.
Starting point is 00:16:16 He thought you were in jail. You had hidden a phone. I was like, I have no more contacts with you. I left and I'm with everyone. The worst thing is, in jail, they all have cell phones because of drones. It would be so easy, Big Brother, you go out, smoke a cigarette, there's a drone that escapes you with a cell phone on its head. Yes, but there was a Big Brother at one point, American, I think they knew where it was.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Or did you know where it was, like the terrace? And there are people who threatened to send messages like, Beware of that person. They sent planes with messages in the back. They knew where the studios were and they sent messages by plane. You mean from here to Quebec? No, no, no, to the United States. Like, beware of that person.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yes, exactly. Wr, in the United States. Yes, like, be careful with that person. Yes, exactly. Written in the sky. If they had done that in Quebec, it would have been be careful with cinema. It's true. But on the terrace, what you see, you know, it looks quite small and it's an industrial district.
Starting point is 00:17:20 So you see nothing. You don't have any sun until the beginning of March. We go out in April. I wasn't there. Sorry. In mid-March, there's a bit of sun coming in. Otherwise, there's no sun.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Because the way the sun is positioned, you never see the sun. There are just planes passing by. So I was getting close. So you were seeing Air Canada, Emira. I had fun. What? The Emirates! It's weird, the cats.
Starting point is 00:17:49 We didn't see anything, but there was a crack and I was looking at the highway. Even my cat has a better life than that. My cat sees pedestrians and bikes. Sometimes I saw techs passing by and I was like, Big Brother! And I was screaming. And he didn't turn around, he didn't have the right. But sometimes there was noise of a dead man. We heard, beep, beep.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Did that make you feel something? I don't know. No, because I saw them all the time on the terrace. So it was a habit. But for real, I think of people who are in prison. And you know, I just stayed months, and it's still... You know, it's a bit of a mess. You're a little crime. You're alcohol on the fly.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I'm a wanker. You're a mini fraud. A small papillion. But people who stay a long time, and we say, go ahead, adapt yourself to society, impossible. Eight years of time that you're like, all you've served, and then you go out to find a job. And you go out and you don't win like a new car and 100,000 dollars.
Starting point is 00:18:50 There you win. What's the price at the moment? It's 75,000. 75,000 and a car? It's 100,000. No, there's no car. 100,000 but there are 25,000 who sell charity. Yes, at my foundation.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Ok. What's your foundation? No, there's no chance. 100,000, but 25,000 sell charity. Yes, at my foundation. What's your foundation? Mine is Ataxi Canada, which is a degenerative disease. It's a rare disease. Oh, yes, no, I've never heard of it. That's why I chose it. Do you know anyone except Ataxi? Yes, my cousin is sick.
Starting point is 00:19:26 So it was you that I was going to... They are going to be so affected. Especially a rare disease that is going to make someone... But it's based on nothing at all. Even though they called my agent, because we can't tell him before I announce it on TV. So they called and he was like, why us? Because it's really... No, but they were surprised because they're really small.
Starting point is 00:19:50 They're like, money will really make a difference for them because it's a gentleman who left the foundation for these two sick children. So it's really... They did it for these children too and they're really small. At first it was a cell phone, then it became a phone.
Starting point is 00:20:08 That's what happened. He was like, calling his A, 20,000, you'll have to hire a accountant. I imagine, I don't know what they're going to do. I know that there are people who are in the pay... Because there are people from summer camps, for people who are sick. And it's very expensive. It's like 1000$ a week. But it's their only way to get out of it. So I think that with 25,000$ you can send 25 people.
Starting point is 00:20:37 What exactly is the disease? It's really... It attacks the muscles. It's self-degenerative, in the sense that at some point you're in health. It's like a form of muscular dystrophy. Yes. Like, my cousin was diagnosed at 15 years old. And we saw a gap. He's not able to lift a glass.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Your muscles become completely, they are no longer present. And at some point, what leads to, you can't eat anymore, you can't swallow anymore. Which makes the majority lose their lives by suffocating. They are no longer present, and at some point, what leads to... You can't eat anymore, you can't swallow anymore, which means that the majority lose their lives by suffocating. Okay. It's super dark, but... No, no, no, but... But that's it, it's super...
Starting point is 00:21:13 It's very sad... Yeah. And if you... If you were like... That's what I could do, by talking, so I'm talking. No, no, excuse me. No, no, no, it's okay. Unless everyone is comfortable that I'm drunk.
Starting point is 00:21:28 How did you start doing shows when you left? Did you do a show the day or the week before? Oh yes, we went to Quebec. I had a body that I had booked for a long time. It was an hour and I didn't feel ready to do an hour on stage. I had been out for two weeks. So I asked the guy if we could do 30-30. I was the one who suggested it at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:21:53 She was like, I'm going to be okay. And she spoke badly. I was like, no, you're not going to be okay. And after that, we're going to write to your manager in two seconds. So I said, an hour is a lot. So I was like, I'm going to propose it to you. At first, you wanted to cancel it. I was like, come on'll drive you, and I'll do 30, and you'll do 30. And they thought it was a good idea. So we went, it was in Quebec. And it was in a school.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yes, in a school for the funds. It was a fundraising for a specialized school for children. It looked like I had to do it. It's just the kids and the kids. Next year, you should do the show, Alex. I'd love to. I'd love to. But yes, that's it. We went. Where was it? Which room was it in?
Starting point is 00:22:36 It's not a room. It's a secondary school. Directly in the school. They had a room, an auditorium, but it's not like... I don't know. Was it in front of the children? Or were you the parents? Or who were you? It was the parents, a few teachers and the support staff, and the children... There were sales goods too?
Starting point is 00:22:56 Yes, there were people, citizens, and the children who were in the program. So a lot of TSA, functional T people, they took care of the ticket office, gave them our lunches, and all the little things. They found little things for them. And they were so happy. They were doing our first part. Oh, yeah? Yeah, they were on my...
Starting point is 00:23:15 It was funny. They were all kids a little... You know, we had very heavy autistic kids. You know, I can't name them all, I don't know. So it was special. And he was screaming on stage. And there were posters. He was screaming Cinémo Dua.
Starting point is 00:23:32 And then it was our turn to go on stage. It was really fun. It was really cute. It looked like they were... Actually, at first, let's be honest, they really wanted Cinémo. And I get there like, I'm going to tell you the truth, he really wanted to go to the movies. Ok. And I get there like, hi, we're doing a 30-30, and the guy is like, no, you can't do that. Yeah, yeah, we got there, there were so many movie posters.
Starting point is 00:23:56 That's the beauty of an artist, he's super honest. He was honest, sir. He was was, that's not the deal. But we arrived in the parking lot, the gentleman was like, I left you my parking spot. He's very welcoming. But he sees cinema and there are hearts in his eyes. We go to school, posters, posters, one after the other, cinema, cinema. I was like, how Chris, would we have said I was like, I'm going to go one after the other. If he's going to beat me, if he's going to beat me. I was like, how Chris? Did we tell them I was there too?
Starting point is 00:24:26 Because... And then we announced it to him while we were doing the sound test. And he was like, no, I'm going to call François. Because he didn't understand that it was a 30-30. That's what I had as information. He thought it was a 15-45. Yeah. But it started to worry me, which adds to it. I hadn't prepared that. It's been 4 months since I played. So I had prepared 30 minutes. I was like, no, it's not going to work, sir. You don't understand.
Starting point is 00:24:52 And finally, I did it and it went well. But it made me anxious. Did you do 45? Yes, and I did 30. Yes, that's it. 30-45, ok. I respect the conditions. I was like, maybe we're late.
Starting point is 00:25:08 No, but wait, we were so well received, honestly. We arrive there, everyone... Except for this bottle. Except for this bottle. But I couldn't open it. But wait... We were so well received, the guy said, No, I'm calling the booker.
Starting point is 00:25:22 He called him in front of us! He called my gérard! We heard him! No, it's 30! He was like, ah! It's beautiful, I'm going to do 30, you can do 45. I said, if I have fun, I'll do 45, but it's just that you put me in a position where I'm... But wait, we arrived and they did us, we had the rehearsal room, everyone eats St. Hubert. And we had... We were buying sandwich from the bus stop.
Starting point is 00:25:50 It's true! As if we weren't able to eat anything else! They saw that kashash kara is halal. Tonight is halal. But, it's halal. It was the best shish-tau I've ever eaten. It was so good. Really? It was delicious.
Starting point is 00:26:14 We received flowers at the end. Crayons, pens, carrots, fingers, kashash. No mistake. It was incredible. It's rare. They were welcoming. They took pictures and sent it to us. But they were disgusting pictures. They were pictures that were a bit...
Starting point is 00:26:32 It's the idea. They drove us to the car door. The man was like, Did you like your parking lot? We were like, yes. He wanted to... I was on the street, I left my spot. He was like, well, thank you, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I don't know why. He was so welcoming. Yeah, he was there in the window frame. He was like, anyway, we'll see each other. I don't know if it's a threat, but okay. Oh yeah, there are projects. Yeah. He sent me a message afterwards.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Did you sleep in Quebec? Oh no. I thought I was sleeping with him. No, no, no, no! No, no, no! No, no! To thank you! We don't have a choice! No, no, we left straight away!
Starting point is 00:27:14 No, no, in Quebec! This guy, sexually, I'm not sure he'd be super good, but he'd be nice. I left the best spot in bed, I'm going to sleep on the floor. Considering that he knows how I'm going to go, he doesn't expect anything before the wedding.
Starting point is 00:27:31 So you're in luck. That's right. Don't worry. Oh no, but it was a lot of fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It went well. It was a good icebreaker. But then I came to play in the mess a little bit and it was stressful, for sure.
Starting point is 00:27:44 But it's okay. Yeah, you're good. No, was stressful, that's for sure. But it's okay. Yeah, you're good. No, no, but that's not it. It's just to encourage you. Yes, thank you, you're fine. Look. Yeah, that's it. Did you start writing again after you left?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Yes, but that's the problem. It's that now I'm starting to write again and I'm doing more on stage. So it seems like it comes with pressure. And your jokes, at the beginning, do you have the reflex of, you know, since we all write our reality. But there, your reality has was weird for three months. So your premises, all the time, have you ever noticed that François Lambert... No, I tell you, surprisingly, I don't know if it's me who's like... That was part of my life, it's over.
Starting point is 00:28:21 I removed that from my head as soon as I left. But like a trauma. Yeah, yeah. You sound like a survivor who's coming out. You've been kidnapped for three months. Totally. But you know, there were people who went and were like, I'm going to write to Big Brother, the comedians. They sent me their content, like videos to edit.
Starting point is 00:28:41 And at the beginning, they forced themselves. At the beginning, there were sketches. And at some point, when'm going to send you this, you're good, you know what to do. I was like, there's nothing in there, what do you want me to do? What did you send? You know, things, sometimes it was messages because we had the right to say that. I don't know. Why wouldn't we have the right? Crime, that's for sure, I receive videos. Did you pass the check?
Starting point is 00:28:59 Yes. Well, when you're 60, you know, you're not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I don't know. Why wouldn't we have the right? I don't know. Crime, of course, I get the videos. Yes, I know, but... Did you pass the check? Yes. Well, but... I don't think so. What if they go green?
Starting point is 00:29:10 They can't do anything green. I think we have the right. But it's just because we have the right to send a message of five minutes, but we don't have an answer. No, okay. By iPad. Every week, you send a message. To my chum, five minutes, then five minutes to my content, social media. But I don't have the right to talk about games or whatever. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week. I send you a message every week.
Starting point is 00:29:44 I send you a message every week. I send out things that aren't clear and I was like, make that funny. It took magic. Sometimes it was just, she was like, this is my bed? This is where I put my laundry. She was doing slow-mo. I was doing slow-mo, my love. Slow-mo, speed up, zoom on my face. That's all she's going to do. Damn! Did you do that? Did you volunteer to help your friend?
Starting point is 00:30:12 Or did she give you some money? No, at first I did it as a volunteer because I was like, oh, that's something I like to do, create content. Then she was like, no, good accounts make good friends. So we paid. It's work, it, a lot of work. Especially if you just send, hey check...
Starting point is 00:30:28 No, wait! It wasn't just that! It happened twice towards the end that I was tired. And on your bus. Ok, three or four times. I was the one receiving the content. At first it was chill, after that at some point it was just all the others. It's because after you think too much about the game. Yeah, that's right. I was so into the game, and what she was telling me was that in the videos, even when I sent the instructions, I wasn't myself.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I was a bit in a... In a war mode. Yes, I was in a war mode. And yeah, that's right, I was in a war mode. I won. Before Big Brother, you were talking to Toéjour? Yes. That's how... That was with Jean Thomas. When Jean Thomas did it, we texted Toéjour.
Starting point is 00:31:16 And you, as soon as she left, you came back in the same place? Yes, and when she left, she called me to tell me. She told me she was in the hotel. I couldn't see her, I was really looking forward to it. After that, when I started seeing her regularly, I didn't want to impose too much on her. I was like, her real life is Fred's coconut. I have my legs, I'm like...
Starting point is 00:31:44 I'm laughing, eh? Ah, take it well, the jokes. But you know, I'm like... I don't know, it's Fred Kik you just... Yeah, yo, Fred Kik! No, but it's true, I was like, hey, I don't know, it's not the people you're used to seeing, and I didn't want to impose that on him.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Finally, we saw each other almost every day when you went out. Well, yes. And we... You told me everything that happened. Yeah, that's right. And then it quickly went back to normal. But I was getting a little annoyed. At first it was easy.
Starting point is 00:32:10 From January to the end of February, I started to find things. The end of February was going really well. I was like, let's go. I arrived at the Women's Day, I sent you a messenger, just a vocal, I knew she wouldn't read it. And I was like, hello Cinem. Like in Confession of Neptune. Yeah, who is that?
Starting point is 00:32:25 Yeah, hi, I miss you baby, it's been two days and you're already missing me. It looked like that. It's funny that she sent you messages that you couldn't answer and you were doing the same thing. Yeah, I was emptying my emotions. I wasn't saying anything, but it's difficult because we talked to each other every day. We call each other almost all every day to say nothing. So it's for sure that for three months, you can't tell anyone. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yes, but I had your husband. Yes, we talked. Yes, we talked together. Yes, we talked. But that... That... How long have you been with your husband? It's been 10 years. 10 years?
Starting point is 00:33:12 It's been 10 years, but it's been 7 years since we got married. Ok. Yes. And that, a break of 3 months... Yes. After 10 years, is it good? Or was it weird? Well, it was difficult. It was difficult for him, for me too, but it good or was it weird? It was difficult for him and for me too, but it's for sure that the return was good.
Starting point is 00:33:30 It's like you didn't see yourself, you noticed that you really liked yourself because he was missing me, I was missing him. So yes, it was good. But was it necessary? 3 months? It's a lot! But yeah, that's a lot! Yeah, yeah. But yeah, no, it's cool. Let's say your boyfriend, if we asked him to do a reality show... Never! Wait, if I wanted to... Would you advise him to do it?
Starting point is 00:33:56 He would hate that, he wouldn't like that. He doesn't like that, like, having attention at that level, but he wouldn't like that, and he's picky. There are even things I did the house that he's like stingy and he doesn't like that. You know, sharing his shower with someone, the toilets, he forgets that.
Starting point is 00:34:13 So he would get angry. You know, he wouldn't do it. But do I advise him? Yes, I would advise him. Because it really makes you work on yourself. It makes me discover who I was at several levels too. It made you work on yourself. It made me discover who I was at several levels. It made me work on myself. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Therapy. Yes, it's a big 3-month therapy. Since I said I'd go, it's been a while. It's really a 3-month therapy. It depends on how you take it. I went home telling myself, I'm going to get out of here trying to be the best I can be. I didn't want to because I heard a lot of people people going to Big Brother and they were going out with depression.
Starting point is 00:34:49 They weren't doing well and they were closing down. I was like, it must not happen to me. So I really tried to work on myself so that if my exit is difficult, it's not so. Do you understand what I mean? And did you have, you know, like, when you went out, you won, you had to... Did you already sign with a product box? Yes, I had already signed. Ok, ok. So nothing changed for that? No, no, that's it.
Starting point is 00:35:16 But it's just going to be easier to sell tickets? I hope so, yes. I imagine. I don't know, they're not yet... It didn't fall into the ears of a jump. It's not like she fell into the ear of a bear. It's not like... that you didn't have a good year. Yes, yes, yes. But I started my
Starting point is 00:35:34 production in September. It was a production in bars, like from scratch. Oh yes, that's new. She speaks English from Big Brother. I don't speak English. I don't speak English. I have English expressions. She doesn't even know what she's saying. I swear. The other time, we were here the day before yesterday.
Starting point is 00:35:51 She started her talk and she was like, Well, long story short. I was like, well, you. Shut up, yeah. She doesn't even know how to write long story short. She's writing long story short. Yeah, I don't know. I don't speak English well. Where did you get that long story short? Honestly, I think it comes from Big Bro because there were a lot of expressions. Fred was English, he's English-speaking.
Starting point is 00:36:11 So there were a lot of expressions and it looked like I was thinking them in my head, but I don't speak English. Imagine someone starts to go, hey ho, and I'm like... And I'm like, yeah, hi, and I'm like... And I'm like, yeah, stop it. Even in your dreams... Yes! Even in your dreams... I dreamed that I was with the Spice Girls.
Starting point is 00:36:37 And I was like, girls, I don't speak English. The Spice Girls? Now or the version? Before, it was me and them. They told me, not problem, you just need to dance. So you were one of the Spice Girls? No, I was just a guest in the clock. And you danced to the clock. And you were dancing in the clock? No, it was because the others were going to do the concert. I was invited and I was like...
Starting point is 00:37:10 You had VIP passes. Yes, kind of. And I was with another guy who was their manager. Anyway, it was a deal. You were with the guy who was their manager? Yes, it was like their manager and I was like, Oh my God, I love you so much. To him or to them?
Starting point is 00:37:27 To the girls. And that's it, we couldn't talk, but you know, just need to dance because he was going to do a concert. And I was like, even in my dreams, if I can, I rush, you know, you understand? Like in my dreams, I don't become like bilingual, I would like that. Well yes, it would be worse. The worst is that I was an English teacher, you know, I was an English teacher in high school, and I let go of her. I have no pedagogy. Every time she tries to teach me, I'm like, what do you know? But especially English is a language that is ultra-easy.
Starting point is 00:37:59 I know, but honestly, if I explained to you the whole process of why, it would just be like, you're weak. We would say, yeah, because you're weak and you have no... But it's just that the face... I started learning English second year one. It's too late. I'm here, I'm 13 years old. Why?
Starting point is 00:38:16 Because it was like that at my school. There was no English. He started having it in sixth grade. Then I moved. I went to a school where it was... Anyway, there was no English, okay? And then, second year, you arrive, you're cool, you try to... like, you don't want to look wacky, you know?
Starting point is 00:38:31 So I was always pushing back. Did you use the term wacky? Last year? Or is that new to you? No, I used that. I don't know if you remember, but the last time Ciné-Maitre came, she had trouble pronouncing Maywest. Yes!
Starting point is 00:38:45 Oh yes, it's true! It's true! Are you able to do that? Maywest. What? That? No! It's true!
Starting point is 00:38:55 No, no, wait! Maywest. I just have to concentrate, it's Maywest. No, wait! No, I'll say... Maywest! What? Maywest.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Are you able to say North, South, East, West? Yes. North, North, South. That's good, that's good. What's West? Go ahead. I don't know. You just said it, bro.
Starting point is 00:39:18 West. West, East. Ah, that's good. East. So it's my West. I'm going to give you a round of applause. No! My West. East. Ah, that's good. East! So it's... Maywest. You had a big applause.
Starting point is 00:39:26 No! Maywest. Oh yeah, keep laughing! Hey, while you were there, I wanted to... I speak Turkish, I speak Turkish fucking well, of course. Do you speak Turkish well for real? Yes! If there were Turks, they would be like...
Starting point is 00:39:34 No, no, no! I speak fucking Turkish well compared to the Turks who are born here. They tell me everything. I speak Turkish very well. I speak Turkish very well. I speak Turkish very well. I speak Turkish very well. I speak Turkish very well. I speak Turkish very well. I speak Turkish very well. I speak Turkish very well. I speak Turkish well? Yes! If there were Turks, they would do like... No, no, no!
Starting point is 00:39:46 I speak fucking good Turkish compared to the Turks who were born here. They always tell me, Christ, your Turkish is perfect! And my Turkish is like... But my Turkish is really better than mine because he went to school in Turkey. He came at 8 years old. But my Turkish is still better than the Turks who were born here. Oh yeah, and you're born here. But maybe...
Starting point is 00:40:06 You're laughing less, huh? Except that, it's never... It's never... You know, like Patelis, who speaks Greek, he says, when I go to Greece, people think I was born there. But you speak Turkish well for someone who was born here. Yes, when I go to Turkey. And you speak Turkish well for someone who was born here? Yes, when I go to Turkey.
Starting point is 00:40:27 When I go to Turkey, yes and no, because I speak well when I want to, but sometimes I look for my words, I say the word and they say, where are you from? And then they see that I'm dressed differently than the girls over there. And unlike us, you don't put French in your sentences. No. Exactly. In Moroccan, when I went in Morocco, I could easily... I don't speak Arabic. You're a furniture in...
Starting point is 00:40:48 Yes. Yes. Yes. But I can't move. Yes, you can't move. I can't move. It's really words. And here, I'm with people who are very...
Starting point is 00:40:56 I mean, young people, they have slang that I don't know. I speak the right Turkish. Okay. You don't speak the sweet, gang, gang Turkish. I... It's a shame! I couldn't say, you're wack over there. I don't know any expressions.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Maybe it's also... When I was little, I wasn't speaking French at birth. But let's say, a year and a half I spoke French. I'm going to get you a glass of water! Since I was born, since I was young, I speak French and English. So I always thought, it's going to be easy to learn another language. At one and a half, I already spoke two languages. But it doesn't even work.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Life, you know? Every time I try to learn another language, I'm... What are you trying to learn? Well, just... I really don't have... Every time I see another country, I'm like, OK, I'm going to learn. Thank you. Thank you. You can't learn a language, then? No, no, but just the base. But the base, I'm not capable. You know, when I was in China, I was like, OK, thank you, it's Cheche, and hello, it's Ni Hao.
Starting point is 00:42:12 No, that's maybe Japanese. But anyway, I was always mixing the two. I get nervous. So when I arrived somewhere, I said, Thank you, thank you, thank you. And then he took my food and I said, Hello! And then, you know, I get nervous. And, you know, let's say when I go to Mexico, you know, I think Sqoozie sounds very Italian or Spanish.
Starting point is 00:42:42 And I'm always like, hey, excuse me, excuse me. I'm always like, excuse me, excuse me. And they understand me. And you can say, excuse me, even in French, they'll understand you. It's universal. But in Morocco too, they say, excuse me, sir, come here. Excuse me. But no, so I'm really bad. I started learning German! But no, I'm really bad.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I started learning German when I was young, young, young. And I had a book in English and German as a dictionary. And then I just read it. It's the worst way to learn a language. But it's immersion. You have to read the dictionary to learn a language. But except that, let's say, when I heard German, I could understand what he was saying. But you know, the problem with English is that everyone speaks so much English that when you try to learn English and you have an accent, everyone says,
Starting point is 00:43:36 Hey, great accent! And you're like, and then you get it. But it's especially in Quebec that they do that. It's everywhere else, Everyone has an accent. But in Quebec, the world... You know, last summer I worked with Cirque du Soleil. What did you do with Cirque du Soleil? I was hosting the Arbéo show. Oh wow! At Trois-Rivières?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Exactly. It's the world of the international. The language was English, in the sense that the directions and everything. And I understand English well. But I tried to talk to them all summer. I practiced and I didn't make you worse. Because it's the world that their first language is not English either. Everyone has their second language.
Starting point is 00:44:20 So we were still talking well. But I got out of there and then I was like... But I can't even... You know, because with them, we were trying, we were looking for words, we were taking our Google Translate and... Yeah, I have the accent and everything. I'm closing the door. And we were getting there, but as soon as you arrive with someone who speaks English well, and even, you know, we have another one of our guests who spoke English well, one year ago he made a comment.
Starting point is 00:44:42 I said, it won't be possible. You make me a comment every time because I couldn't talk to anyone in French. How do you learn what someone does? He laughed because he thinks it's funny. I also think it's funny that he laughs at me, but one year ago I'm like... It's a joke. And the show, so you were animating in French, I imagine? I was putting on some ceremony.
Starting point is 00:45:04 I was animating,? I was a ceremony master. What was your name? I was an animator, but I was a character. Did you make a character based on the characters from RBO? Were you Madame Brossard? No. No, I was like a character. I was Alegría. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Who was like the ceremony master, but sometimes I became a character in RBO. We changed all the time, but I was often my character who was a little grumpy. That must be the fun. It must be destabilizing. Oh no! No, no, it was sick! It must be because it's a little stand-up, but not really. I studied in theater. Yes, that's it.
Starting point is 00:45:44 What is it? It's your biggest dream too. You know... But I studied in theater. What's wrong with you? That's your biggest dream too. I mean, I had the stand-up baggage, but I also had the theatrical baggage. So it was like... It was a perfect mix of everything I like to do. There was dance, there was games. And the circus shows are so beautiful.
Starting point is 00:46:02 I tripped. And RBO, is that RBO? RBO, right? Yes. You know RBO? I don't know them all. I heard about it, but it's not my generation. I tripped and I didn't understand anything. I was talking about Mrs. Brasser and I was like... He asked me if I was sick and if I needed to replace you.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Do you have a friend? I thought about you and I was like, I asked her if she was sick and if she could be replaced. She said she had a friend. I was like, I thought of you! I was like, she's not going to change her life. I would have been such an impostor. It was impossible to replace her. It was too precise for someone to be able to replace her. The art of the century.
Starting point is 00:46:40 I get to the... Did you watch... I don't even know if it's online, but a DVD... Did you find a DVD player to listen to a DVD? Yes, I did. I went to see it. There are plenty of them on YouTube. I did all my research. Do you know who Guilla Le Page is? Yes! I did my research. Yes, I did all my research. Do you know who Guilla Lepage is?
Starting point is 00:47:05 Yes! Yes, yes, yes. They all came to see him. The whole RBO gang at the premiere. And when they came to see Backstage, was there someone who said, he's a guy from RBO, he's a guy from RBO? No, I recognized him. No, but you know, the others, maybe you talked to a gentleman for 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Oh, there were others I didn't recognize. Well, since I saw the videos, I recognized them. I went to see the Coloc show in Trois-Rivières. There was a tribute to the Coloc. And we went to a VIP party afterwards. And you know, it was all people from the rich world who went to a VIP party, and the former members of the Colocs. And then my ex was like, I'm in trouble because I don't know who is a Coloc. And then I was like, everyone who looks like a poor guy is a go-lock.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Everyone who looks like a go-lock. You know, I met Daniel Grenier for the first time. I didn't know who he was. And Daniel looks like a go-lock. He looks like a go-lock. When you don't know each other. We were at the Esco Griff, ok? And he was so shy, he started talking to me,
Starting point is 00:48:27 it's been a while since you've done this, I said, I just started this, and I said, and you know, and he said, I'm 35, I said, wow, he's not letting go of this guy. Oh, you thought he was an open-micer. I thought he was an open-micer. And after that, I said, oh yeah, 35, he said, yeah, I said, oh yeah, 35 years old. He said, yeah. I said, oh yeah, I never met you.
Starting point is 00:48:47 He said, yeah, well, it's for sure that I did my solo career. I was like, oh, you were in a team? I called it a team. In a team? Yeah. Then after that, he told me he was in Chicken Swag. And then I knew what the chicks were. I knew what the chicks were.
Starting point is 00:48:59 But otherwise, I couldn't have guessed it on my own. A real crazy thing. Oh yeah. Daniel Grenier. Well, it's correct. Yeah, real crazy person. Daniel Grenier. It's correct. When it's not your generation, it's not your generation. Yes, I know. Even the Arabs,
Starting point is 00:49:14 except for Cheb Kaled, no one knows what they're doing. I know more about Turkish TV. It doesn't make any sense. She watches Turkish news every day. It's true. I'm interested in the weather in Turkey. She watches Turkish news every day. Yeah. Really? Yeah. It's like that. I'm interested in the weather in Turkey.
Starting point is 00:49:28 I don't know how long it's been in Istanbul. By pleasure. Do you know the... No, but it's not me. It's my girl who opens the TV. It's like the Turkish hello that you listen to. But the news in Turkey is like YouTube videos of repetitive disasters. No, but wait, it's because you... No, when I say that, I mean the TV reality.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Oh yes, I like the TV reality a lot in Turkey, but it's fun. So it's the limit that we have here. We have limits. Yes. They don't have limits. She made Jean Thomas cry for nothing here in Quebec. Yes. There it's like... Were you angry when I made Jean Thomas cry?
Starting point is 00:50:06 No, no. Jean Thomas calls me more often, so I was happy. It's like, he'll learn that Big Brother is not his real friend. He took you for a hackie. No, no, but yeah,
Starting point is 00:50:24 it's quite a lot of shows. You know, it's a show, it's sick, it's a woman who solves family problems. Like, there's a man who disappeared. Where is this man? You get it? And that's a hot reality show. Yes, well, it's a hot talk show, but you send a note, my husband has disappeared for six months, we're looking for him, we don't know where he is. Like Claire Lamarche, but less... Like Claire Lamarche, but...... Like Claire Lamarche, but...
Starting point is 00:50:45 You send someone to look for him. The thing is, you learn that the guy was finally killed by the beautiful sister of I don't know what. And then it's on the show, the police comes, he stops him. And he's condemned. It's like Jerry Springer, but... Family. But things that are not possible, like murders, scandals, frauds, it's good.
Starting point is 00:51:11 You wanted to pitch that at one point, do you remember? It's hard to sell that to TVA again. Listen, I have an idea. We take missing guys and we say, he's hitting his wife, no, no, he got killed. But it's like true crimes. You can't rule out true crimes, but it's because there are so many people in Turkey that you can find here in Quebec. But it's not just that, it's that over there, let's say, a lot of my daughter ran away when she was 20 years old. And if your daughter ran away, she's not just ran away, she just left the house. So over there, it's...
Starting point is 00:51:51 It's my job. It's because there are different values. Your husband left with another woman, you're like, bye, Asti! But they're like, they don't like another woman, you're like, bye bye Esti, you know? But they're like, he doesn't love you anymore, it's over. And they're like, it's for life, you know, you understand, so why did he leave? It's intense, it's a show of hands. But you know, when he finds, you know, let's say one who was killed, that's fucked up,
Starting point is 00:52:20 you're there a little, but let's say say he left his wife because he loved another woman. When he finds that guy, does he bring the guy back? Sometimes they try to reconcile them. On Cam. Do you see that? That's an expression she's using now. On Cam. No, they try to reconcile them to see if... Divorce is always always a choice number three.
Starting point is 00:52:47 We'll try everything before. What's number two? Number one is we stay together. Number two is murder. No, but the argument is a lot. You have children. Like, come back together, and you're going to be alone in the house. And Christ, raise your children together. Imagine when, for example, for these kids, if the parents come back together, you just make them cry for you.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Yes. It's rewarding, but you have to feel bad. It's super unhealthy. You have to be like, OK, yes, mom is crying all the time because of me. No, but I don't want to... There are some that divorce is very prime, too. I don't want to pretend that divorce is... They say, it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:53:33 But if you still love each other, if there is a spark, try it. You have children, you know, you understand? It's not like... I'm exaggerating a little. But let's say, if there is still love, it should be that all the time. If there are children and there is still love, it should be always that. If there are children and there's still love... Yeah. Usually, if you're on this show, I don't know if there's love. Love must be a little...
Starting point is 00:53:52 It's the woman who's filled in her form. It's rare. Do you like the name? Yeah, it's rare that you had to call the store clerk to find your man if... You know what? It's a little chicane. No, but sometimes the chicane come from the social context. They are poor, there is no work.
Starting point is 00:54:12 They don't work for four years. But we will find a job. He will work, I don't know. You understand, we will tidy up your house. You don't have windows, we will make windows. It's a mix of Jerry Springfield, the angels of renovation. Jerry Springfield? Yes, it's Jerry Springer. Sprfield, the angels of renewal. It's Jerry Springer.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Springer! I'm scared of you. I just want to say that one of the couple's problems you were talking about, I don't have a window in my house. You're a jerk, that's not fair. I don't have a window. We're going to put windows in your house. It means there's a couple of chicken... Why don't we have windows?
Starting point is 00:54:50 The neighbor has a window and not you. I want a window, you have a window. It's windows, it's windows. Reality is not the same. But I'm living in a window. I would like to renovate my bidonville instead of having a window to see the other bidons. I would write my heart out of this bidonville. I would be the guy who saved himself.
Starting point is 00:55:22 And he's like the tabarnak, bringing me back to earth. Exactly. That's funny. It's my passion, those shows and the news. And I like that you still call those shows the news. No, the shows and the news. Okay. And is there a show in Turkey, is there a show like, let's say, the American TV, there are morning shows like in Quebec, Salut Bonjour. Yes, yes. There are even shows that are more bubbly and...
Starting point is 00:55:59 No, it's generally not bubbly. It's never bubbly? No, because yes, there are probably bubbly, but I don't see them there. Okay. No, because yes, there are probably problems, but I don't see them. Often, it's a lot of debates, politics. And politics is very important in Turkey. It's not like, you know, when you're on one side, you're on the other side. And when you're on the other side, you're on the other side. There's no like, yeah, you know, in any case, it's very, there's a lot of tension.
Starting point is 00:56:18 But I'm not the pro to talk about that, so I don't want to elaborate too much on Turkish politics. But it's very visceral for people. So, that's the news. And there are people who... You have to be quiz. Oh, there are also quizzes. But I don't listen to them. It's all about Turkish politics. No, but it seems that it's always that which is open at home.
Starting point is 00:56:38 But there are a lot of Turkish shows. Turkish shows are sold through the Middle East. There are a lot of Arabs who come. Yes, it's very popular. It's like Mexican soap operas in the world. We are the Hollywood through the Middle East. There are a lot of Arabs who come. Yes, it's very popular. It's like Mexican soap operas. We are the Hollywood of the Middle East. Really? Netflix shows, what do you mean? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Since then we talk about your country. I'm not lying. Tell me. She loves Turkey. We played Head Up. Do you know the game Head Up? She looks at me, I have the thing in my face and she's like, OK, it's perfect geography, it's not far from Turkey. I'm like, well, frankly, give me more.
Starting point is 00:57:12 She's like, OK, it's on the right side of Turkey. I'm like, you're kidding. There I swipe, I don't know. She's like, this one, Turkey colonized them. I'm like, hey, for real? That's it, she loves Turkey. Because my friends think I talk a lot about Turkey, but you're right. It would be bad if Turkey was on the left and Celine Dion was the answer.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Yes, Chris! She lives in Vegas! She has already sung in Turkey. She has already sung in Turkey. She has already sung in Turkey. She has already sung in Turkey. She has already sung in Turkey. She has already sung in Turkey. She has already sung in Turkey. Yes, she did. Of course she did. But... One day, Renée saved herself by finding her a Turkish girl. She did it. She was there, doing it.
Starting point is 00:57:49 She kept her little crown. How come Turkey has become the world capital of guys who don't want to pay for expensive haircuts? Because we have the best surgeons in surgery. We have an impeccable service, whether it's a speaking tourist or a disease. My poor answers are good, but one day, I met a guy who went there and he should have kept a little longer. You know, he was... You know, you saw him... It was impossible to talk to him without looking at his forehead. His definition. You know, there's nobody who knows...
Starting point is 00:58:31 Like, the doctor didn't say, OK, I'm going to give him a little... He was cold. It's like he did... OK, alright. He took a compas to make a little line. There's nothing natural there. So, the WeDaters exist.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Maybe he went to a cheap place, but generally, if you know the person and you see him coming with new hair, you're going to be destabilized. I don't think so. I don't think so. He didn't wait long enough because he was proud. You know, someone who stays here and there, stays here and there, but he's like, no, I'm not going to wait six months, my hair is beautiful and it didn't fall. But it's the same thing, I think. It's for the breasts, they do it again.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Yes, surgery, teeth, a lot of them are going to do teeth. Teeth? What do they do with teeth? You know, the caps? They remove the teeth like, and then they put a slag. But that's not a good way to do it. I don't know what we call it. It's caps, I think. In English it's... Veneers? Are you veneers? What did you say?
Starting point is 00:59:46 You're a secret between Mike and me! But yeah, we have everything. There's really tourism, surgery, like your hotel is included, your airport is included. Apparently, when you go there, everything is top, top, top. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything is included.
Starting point is 01:00:02 They come to pick you up, they drop you, they give you a lift. Seriously, we have good hotels. pop you out of the house. We have a good system of medicine. Is that what we say? Well, I know less about medicine. I had something on my leg, I went because I'm a Turkish citizen. And you got your balls done. I have knee pain, you're a plop-plop. You came back with your hair here. Oh, shoot! You got your hair here. You're so cute.
Starting point is 01:00:25 You're so cute. Your hair is so long. I know. It hurt my eyes. Chris is dead. The only time someone went to get a liposuction in Morocco, she died. Really? Yes, it's on the newspapers.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Is there a lot of surgery? There was one, but it's not worth it anymore. Oh, Chris. It's sad. It's a real them anymore. Oh, that's sad. Yeah, it's sad. Especially liposuction, it's nice. You think it's going to be okay? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:51 I don't know what to say. But it seems that liposuction is very, very dangerous. Yes, yes, well, it's confirmed. Yeah. It's the worst way to die. Well, yes. In another country. You're going there to lose weight.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Not even just in another country, but you're like, I think I'm a little fat. And on top of that, liposuction is not like getting your stomach brushed. They're going to take away 8 pounds. I think I'm fat. You're not fat. I think I'm fat. Well, you're dead. So we're going to... And it has to be a funeral hall.
Starting point is 01:01:28 They have to be like, no, don't remind her too much, she wants to be thin. Oh my God. You're so skinny in your coffin. Oh my God. You didn't want to be fat, but now you're dead. That's what they call epitaph. You didn't want to be fat, but you're dead.
Starting point is 01:01:46 That's a crazy rap, it sounds like a Camaro's lyrics. The worst part, I don't know if they make it, let's say when the rope breaks down, it becomes a skeleton, if it does well, it's really successful. She really... She loses all her weight. She's on the circus, she's a legend. Oh no, no.
Starting point is 01:02:12 I went to Turkey to see the doctor because I had something on my leg. And I waited 10 minutes to see a doctor. We went to the beach and my mom said, we're just going to stop and look at these. Okay, you didn't even have an appointment. No! You went to get beach and my mom said, we're just going to stop and watch what it is. Okay, you didn't even have an appointment. No! You went to get your knee operated after 10 minutes. No, no, I didn't get operated.
Starting point is 01:02:29 It escalated quickly. No, no, I had a... I had a bandaid. I had a boss that I had looked at in Quebec. And he was like, come on, we're just going to look here, it's going to take like an hour. Then I was like, hey, I don't want to go to the hospital, we're going to the beach.
Starting point is 01:02:42 For me, we're going to stay there all day. I went home, I saw a doctor in 10 minutes. He said, we can operate you tomorrow if you want. This is a classic in our families, who go back to their country on a trip. They stay sick. And they're like, yeah, but in six months I'm going back to Casablanca. I'll check later. You're a dick.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Yeah. Go to the emergency. So, Defence, when you go to a hospital in Quebec, you know, it's worth it to pee your ass for six months. That's true. Just pee your ass anyway. Yeah, yeah, that's right. That's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:17 So, nothing to say but to pee your ass on a plastic bench in the emergency room. Yeah, that's right. But they call you at about 4 o'clock to just ask you still have a ass to sign and you're like, yeah, perfect, just know, go sit down. I'm talking from experience. It's true. I waited until 4am. It's true, come join me.
Starting point is 01:03:35 The thing, for example, if you want to go to the emergency in Quebec quickly, you pretend it's a heart problem. You pretend, hey, I really have... I have... I have... For example, if you want to go to the emergency in Quebec, pretend it's a heart problem. You pretend, like, I really have a sore chest and then, ah, and then, there, there, there, are you okay? Yes, yes, but hey, my knee, I have a pain in the ass! You had a pain in the chest, I had a pain in the chest because you were stressing me out because of the pain.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Check the pain, and then you're already in the gym because I was stressed out because of the boss. Check the boss and now you're already in the system. It's true. I didn't go to the theater school. I don't know. Lying at this level, I would be embarrassed. When you get caught, you're like... The moment you get caught, you're like... You're like, my bad doctor. No, it's embarrassing. It. No, it's embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:04:26 It's true, it's true, it's long here. It doesn't make sense. I waited 23 hours. But Quebec is a place that makes you feel good to live. In the sense that I don't want to... You're afraid that there's a But it's good to live, but if you get sick, you'd be better off elsewhere. Yes, yes, yes, yes,. The fax... They fax stuff to the hospital. Oh, well yeah. It's over. Send a...
Starting point is 01:05:08 Send a screenshot for him. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. The last time they asked me for a paper, I don't know what it was, and then I had it in my PDF, and she said, no, it's going to take our paper. And I was like, but ma'am, it's here. And she was like, it's going to take the paper.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Yeah. A bit like the girl from the certificate from the beginning. There are too many processes. Suzanne! The bureaucracy. Yes. We just solved some problems. No, but it's the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy kills.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Like, hey, I was in a pharmacy. I went to Quebec, I had a sore throat, I thought it was allergies. I've never had allergies in my life, but it stung me. I stopped at a pharmacy and asked if I could see the pharmacist. He was like, do you have an account here? I was like, he's there, I'm just going to ask him a question. Can you talk to him if you don't have an account? I was like, I'm just going to ask a question to a human.
Starting point is 01:05:57 And she didn't want to. She didn't want to, and I left. Did anyone expect that? And I died. No, it's true. Did anyone expect that? And I died. No, it's true. Did anyone expect that? No! You were in the hospital. On the South River, there is a pharmacy on the Tachereau boulevard that is open 24 hours.
Starting point is 01:06:13 And from 10 o'clock, it becomes a hospital for the poor. It's just... Well, I'm the poor one. It's just everyone who realized that it's not worth going to the emergency. So you go and the pharmacist is so funny because he thinks he's a doctor. He's beautiful to see. But you arrive and you talk to someone and you're sure you're talking to the pharmacist. And then, OK, I'm here. You know, I'm with my blonde, she was burning. Yeah, I have a burn. OK, you have a burn. OK, the pharmacist will be with you. Go sit down.
Starting point is 01:06:53 And then I was like, the pharmacist will be with you. And then she arrived and then he checked and really, like a doctor. A nurse... But you know, if he heard you say like a nurse, he would be insulted. He would be like, I'm a doctor. But no, but... And he found the solution. Stop burning yourself.
Starting point is 01:07:22 That's it. Be careful, it's hot. He's like, yes, it's burnt. He just confirmed it. And I was like, is it that our system is broken so that old people who are waiting in line
Starting point is 01:07:38 have a pharmacy on the Pachaud boulevard because the hospital, is it that it doesn't work anymore? Even now, I do consultations on Tchad GP anymore. Even now, I do consultations on chadgpt. I swear, I send a picture of my plebs and I'm like, what is it? Well, I love my doctor, but I had redness on my face, and I was like, it's nothing, it's nothing. I was googling myself, and I was like, it's the rose acid, madam.
Starting point is 01:07:59 And she was like, oh, yes, it really does look like it. The rose acid. But chadgpt, for real, it's really good. Yes, yes, yes. He's really nice. I love that. He's the deadly pharmacy enemy on your show. Because he's like Carlisle. That's true.
Starting point is 01:08:14 No, I love that. I'm not sick. I'm not sick at all. Yeah, that's true. I'm weak. And you have the worst job. Do you get a flu more often? No. Okay. No, no, no. Do you often get a flu? No. Okay. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Okay, but do you get a flu or... No, I'm okay with that, but it's always like, I get dizzy, I see blurry, I have a cramp in my ass. Yeah. It's okay. No, but you're a doctor. Yeah, I do... On the pressure base.
Starting point is 01:08:40 But I was doing, actually, after three years, I discovered I was doing anemia, still very, very... still quite high. Is it J.P.T.? No, no, finally, it was my doctor who... I was doing, after 3 years I discovered I was doing very high anemia. Is that Judge J. Pettick? No, no, it was my doctor. And finally it was fixed, but I was always on the verge of falling back. What is the thing you can't do with anemia? Eating broccoli.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Taking iron. It was problematic, we didn't know why, but every time I fell in my week, it was worse. So I was like, I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. And then I said, and he was like, well, that's it, you lost blood. So, since you've been eating more broccoli, is it going well? But you also have a gluten intolerance. As soon as she eats a little bit of... There's no gluten in the broccoli.
Starting point is 01:09:26 No, no. It has nothing to do with broccoli. I told her, in addition to the demi... I have a sore throat. I know, Esti. We talk every day. Every day, I'm complaining. I'm not big gravel. I'm never sick, Mike. It's not true, but you know what?
Starting point is 01:09:42 When I caught COVID, for example, Esti, I was sick. And then when I got the flu, I couldn't get up. It looks like the flu got stronger, huh? Oh yeah. No, no, it's crazy. The flu is stronger than before, but I'm rarely sick. I had a food poisoning in the sun the last week.
Starting point is 01:10:02 No one could replace me. Oh, that was good. I don't know, I ate something. And never in my last week, nobody could replace me. That was good. I don't know, I ate something. I've never been sick in my life. I started to see... We slept in the residence of the University of... I don't know what.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Trois-Rivières. Is that the University of Trois-Rivières? Yes, the one you spent two months there. She slept there. I wasn't there to study. I slept and I had cold nights all night and I thought I was going to die. I was like, I think I'm going to die. I went to the bathroom and it was okay.
Starting point is 01:10:35 But the last show, that's what's hot. Was it before the last show? Yes, the last two shows, I had a room in the middle of the room alone, and as soon as I had a second, I went to the bathroom. Because I had everything planned. If I shit on it, I could vomit. It must be horrible for a circus performer to slip into diarrhea when you're going to do a flip. The worst thing is that I had a skirt, that's my costume, it was a mini skirt. With pale blue collars, I was like, if I shit myself, it's going to look the same. Do you understand?
Starting point is 01:11:11 Did you think about putting dark blue collars? No, but we proposed to put a layer. You know, there was no time where they did, we could replace it. It's like, do you want a layer? Are you... Hey, imagine how weird it must be. You know, just animated with a bed, at the beginning you're like, I hope it doesn't appear, I hope it doesn't appear. And if you shoo in your ass, you're like,
Starting point is 01:11:34 I hope it doesn't appear. It must be horrible. Oh, it was horrible. It was the worst because it was the last show. I really wanted to enjoy it, but all along I was like, I can't wait for it to end, because I was so scared. I had an excuse. I just had a flash. When I was doing the shows, just to laugh, there was an animator who was shitting in his ass during his show.
Starting point is 01:12:03 And I was playing the next day. Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? It's Rachid.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Rachid had... Poblux? He hadn't been so pissed off, but he had made a fart. Like, what am I going to do it. And then he panicked. A little fart. And then he had removed the jacket. He had said, remove your socks, remove your socks. Put on those pants.
Starting point is 01:12:39 And then the next day, the jacket, he was like, poor Rachid, he was so sick. And I was like, Asti, that's funny. And I, between each number, I don't remember what his name was, but we'll say Daniel, I was always out of my head, but I was like, shut up! I need you! And then he came, he was like,
Starting point is 01:13:02 are you okay? I called the police, I didn't think I was like, what the fuck are you doing? And then he came and was like, are you okay? I was like, I didn't think I was going to... And I couldn't stop pissing in my ass all night. It made me laugh. It's so funny. There was no pissing, but there was... A little bit of sauce. Enough to bother you during a show. And also at that time, Rachid liked pale pants.
Starting point is 01:13:26 You know, he was very... He was very... He was wearing linen, he was wearing... It's not a fabric... You know, I'm in black jeans. I can have four or five of those. He's a real pain in the ass. We don't know from earlier.
Starting point is 01:13:42 I've been a pain in the times since the beginning of the show. It won't stop. It's true, and Rachid was wearing his little jacket with the R here. Do you remember? It looked like a hotel outfit. I remember. Yes, he was wearing the R. Yes, he had his R for him. He was there with new pants. He was like, it's not the same.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Oh man. I'm going to regret it when I tell you this, but I was shooting in Morocco. Okay. With Rashid, but it was something that never came out. So I was in my week, and we were shooting, but in Morocco, it was only Moroccan men in the techies. During the Ramadan? Yes, during the Ramadan. Only men. I was in my room, but we were filming in an airport scene.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Outside, there was no toilet. I felt like I had to change the tempo. The more it was going on, the more I was like, there will be no possibility, and I can't ask a Moroccan man, excuse me, I'm in my room. It's true, oh yeah! I don't feel... It's very pudic.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Yeah, it's very pudic. Even that, it's not... Yeah, no, they're still a little... Excuse me! And there was no woman, there was no one... Yes, but it's like... They weren't there. They weren't available.
Starting point is 01:15:02 And the thing is, it's not that they weren't available, it's that if I say it, they'll stop and they'll say, hey, you know, you get it, so... Could you tell Rashid to tell him? Because he could have... Well, I don't know, at that time, I wasn't comfortable. I wasn't comfortable stopping the set,
Starting point is 01:15:19 because it was really like, we weren't supposed to be there, the location was a bit... We have to help each other. And then... It's so Moroccan. Nobody knows we're filming here. Come on! But then... Faster!
Starting point is 01:15:30 The faster the story goes, the more I tell myself, you should have changed your tampon before. It seems to me that you didn't have the right to be there. But then, the thing is that we had two had two hours to get back to the hotel. So I was like... You didn't manage to change it. No, I did, but I had to change it. You can't put it as an extract, for example.
Starting point is 01:15:52 But I had to tie my pants. And I was like, oh my god. It's a costume. I have to take off my costume to give it to the dresser. And I did everything to keep my pants. I love this memory! And I kept my pants and I cleaned them myself. Like in my hotel room. The next morning, it starts to turn at 6 o'clock, my pants are not dry.
Starting point is 01:16:15 But like, zero, they're still wet, they're jeans. They're wet, wet, wet. And there's no dryer. No, but no, there's no dryer. There's no dryer. There's no dry clothes. No, there's no dryer. A dryer. There's two different ones. Stop being a pain. A dryer.
Starting point is 01:16:29 A dryer. And then I get there and I tell the girl, Hey, my pants are wet. And she's like, why? And I was like, well, I had escaped from the shower. There's no more in my room. Oh my God. I turned the whole morning with room anymore. Oh my God. I turned all morning with wet jeans.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Oh, yeah. Oh, that's crazy. But the dresser, was she a woman? Yes, but now that you're here, I can explain. No, but the first day, you could have told her. Yes, I know, but she was... Mike, we were in a shoot, there was no way to... If I said I had to go to the bathroom, in a shoot, there was no way to...
Starting point is 01:17:05 If I said I had to go to the toilet, he would stop and I would have to go get my tampons in the car, and everyone would go see. And then he had to... And all of this, he was like... But you already asked... ...mixing up the discomfort, the situation. You can't understand, Mike. It's complicated to be a Muslim woman. Yes, it's...
Starting point is 01:17:21 But it's... It's in a Muslim country, moreover. When you instigate me, I tell everyone. That's the beauty of being... There's my piety, there's their piety. But there's also that they didn't understand much either. When you wanted tampons, it wasn't too clear either. No, that wasn't the team.
Starting point is 01:17:42 I never asked for tampons. No one there. But you asked for air conditioning, though. Yes, exactly. No, it was at the crew. I never asked for a crew. But you asked for air conditioning. Yes, exactly. No, it was at the hotel. Did you ask for air conditioning to dry your pants? For them to freeze? No, I asked for some mosquito repellent. They brought me a calerifer.
Starting point is 01:18:00 Oh, yes. It's incredible. Even I didn't understand. I was like... Because we have too many pride. This film is a co-production of Canada, Morocco or just Morocco? Just Morocco. And it never came out?
Starting point is 01:18:17 Yeah, there were some complications with the budget, like, in post-production, I think. And I don't know if it's going to come out at some point. Do you think you're the one who dropped that with your bag? It's not a record! It's not a record! First scene, she's wearing jeans, then jeans with a macaroons, then all wet, walking, and there's like a trace of water. All the scenes in the movies are her face. It's a nice experience.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Yes, it was sick, it was cool. How long was the shooting? I think it was... I stayed two weeks. I had already been there for five days. And I think they did it in like three weeks. The shooting was very, very fast. It was a small budget for a film. Incognito. Yes, yes, yes. And is it available nowhere, nowhere?
Starting point is 01:19:07 Nowhere! Even I haven't seen it. No, no, no. It's very discreet. It's the most discreet film in history. That's it! I've never seen that. We have views, better off without it. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:19:21 And it's been so long, I would be well comfortable with it. Well, yes, that's right. But I'd like to go to Morocco with Dua, it's my dream. I don't know if we'd be a good couple. What do you mean? I don't know, we've been dating since you were a kid. What do you mean? We'd be... look.
Starting point is 01:19:41 Dua and I would be adventurers. Yes, we'd be incredible. We traveled together, we went to Florida. We went to Florida! You and I would be adventurers. Yeah, we would be incredible. We traveled together, we went to Florida. Hey, we went to Florida! You have a house in Florida? Yeah, yeah. You know Florida?
Starting point is 01:19:56 It's on the right of Turkey. Yeah, yeah, that's it. We went with Jess Chartrand. Jess was more like a discipline towards us. We were like, wow, wow. was more like a discipline towards us. We were always joking. But it was flat because we went for a week and it was cold. We bathed once.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Where did you go in Floride? Daytona Beach. Daytona Beach? Who is... But honestly... It's the most absurd place for Arabs and lesbians. It's the perfect city. They said it's the city of scrap. It's the only beach in North America or Florida where you can just bring your car to the beach.
Starting point is 01:20:44 You're like one of my Park Sits. or in any case in Floride, that you can just bring your car to the beach. You're like, I'm a park-sit. We never learned it. We learned it right away. We were at the beach, there were trucks passing by. You're in your long chair, you have to run fast and check both sides. Yes, you check both sides, exactly. But he's driving 10. He's driving slowly, but... Yes, I found that out of proportion.
Starting point is 01:21:05 We weren't that many on the beach. I'm thinking maybe when there's a lot of people, they don't pass. But Daytona, I think... I just went there once and I think Daytona 500 is really popular. And there's also the biker thing that Sturges is there. I was there with the school when I was a student. Oh yeah? It was weird.
Starting point is 01:21:28 There were ladies with stuff on their breasts. Okay. And there were motorcycles. Everyone was naked. It was a school trip. I wasn't the teacher. I was the student. Oh yeah, you took the students.
Starting point is 01:21:40 We were students. I was a student and the teacher took us. We were on Daytona Beach. It was still graphic. How old were you? What year? I was in the 4th grade. Oh, damn! 15 years old. 15 years old. It was trash.
Starting point is 01:21:52 It's weird. I can understand. Let's say you're traveling to Washington or even New York. No, that's where you bring your kids to Florida. To Daytona. What the fuck? What's there to see? It's not even Disney. Well, after we went to Disney. It was just the cheapest hotel. It was trash. I went to a public school too.
Starting point is 01:22:14 You know what? But our Airbnb was so cheap there. And it was beautiful. In the middle of Florida, my condo is in the middle of Florida. So it's really not expensive. And it's big, we were really good. On the beach, what? 600 dollars a week for three.
Starting point is 01:22:34 Wait, are you sure? 600 dollars? Maybe not. You got a no-bent, are you sure? Yes, I think it's really not expensive. Ok, maybe. Yes. I have no idea. I think it's more than 500. Yes, I think it was really cheap. Ok, maybe. Yes. I have no idea. I think it was more than 500 chacres.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Yes, I think so. Who did you take as a partner? 500 chacres would be more than 100 chacres. I think so. It was 100 chacres. No, we came with a partner. I don't know, but it's a good thing. Is it a cheap partner?
Starting point is 01:23:00 No. Yes, I think so. It was Ryanair. Yes, it was Ryanair. Yes, it was Ryanair. No, Ryanair is just in Europe. Porter. Porter? Oh, yes, Porter. You're saying n'importe... what is it?
Starting point is 01:23:13 I don't know. It's a company that's really basic. Oh yeah, and there was a girl in the back who kept hitting my... He was hitting my head and I was just like... I'm going to stay patient. Because, you know, I don't want to... And besides, speaking English, I don't know what to tell them. That's really it.
Starting point is 01:23:32 And then, she started to be a teacher. She was like... Hey! Just stop! And... I wasn't stopping. I was saying... She was intimidated by the kids. They were putting their little feet here and I was like...
Starting point is 01:23:43 I'm going to talk to them, if they were like, no, let them, they live... They're children, they live in the woods. Yeah, it's their trip, you know, and then bang, the whole night was there. I was like, do you want me to talk to them? So the next morning I turned around and I said, now it's over. Oh! After that, they sat in their chairs, they were able to move. Some of them held their breath, they were blue.
Starting point is 01:24:03 Oh yeah. Hey, even I was scared. Even she did it. Now it's over. Sleep. Now it's over sounds like a trailer for a movie. It sounds like someone before taking out their guns. And just saying, fuck you, we're all gonna die. It's true that coming from a girl like me,
Starting point is 01:24:26 well no, I had a hoodie, a scarf... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now it's over. All life is a roadside. Everyone has... It's like the movie 9-11-2. Yann, do you have any questions? Not many, but there are.
Starting point is 01:24:46 Someone is asking, how did you meet? Oh my god, it's been 9 years since we met. How long have you been doing stand-up? I started 9 years ago, at the same time as Sinem. Wait, what? He's right, I started 9 years ago, at the same time as Sinem. Okay, okay. Wait. Wait what? Okay, explain your... Facebook!
Starting point is 01:25:08 Yes, yes. But 9 years ago, we met, we bought each other on Facebook. After that, life went by. I went back to teaching and everything, but she continued. You continued to make fun of her. And after that, I started doing TikToks and all that, after the pandemic. I was doing a sketch and I asked her, it took me someone to do a sketch. And then, since I saw that I had it on my Instagram and everything, I was like, hey, I need someone. And she's not able to say no, she wants to. She was in Manitoba
Starting point is 01:25:34 during the day. She was like, I'm going down from Manitoba and I'm coming back. I was like, it's not a Moroccan movie, it doesn't make sense. She was like, I'm coming back. So So she went down and since then... Yeah, and we live in Jean-Di-Minute. We learned as we went along that we had a lot in common. Yeah, we have a lot in common. But you know, the thing is, we saw each other 9 years ago in a store. We both started with an open mic. Do you remember which store it was, which open mic?
Starting point is 01:26:01 It was... It was for... Actually, it wasn't an open mic. I participated in a contest that Ali Day was doing. It was a guy called Ali who was doing the Ali Day show. He was at the Soda Club. I was on the contest. Yes, but he took me to the show. My audition was good, but I wasn't ready. What's the name of the family? Ali Dury.
Starting point is 01:26:24 But there's a real estate agent, I think. Okay. And... And... It's going well, those things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going well. He's like the Emirates and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:32 He sells... But that's it. So I had done the show normally, and I had blown my face. Yeah. It was not... I was like, it was shit. And then we saw each other. But then we saw each other again.
Starting point is 01:26:44 And then I started calling her random when I was going to Quebec. It's true! I was like, hey, what are you doing? And then I was like, hey, I'm going to do it. Yeah, it was all natural and we... But we have a lot in common. We share a birthday that is related to terrorists. Oh yeah, what terrorist, what date? Well, I'm not a terrorist, but... Well, no, I'm not a terrorist, but... No, I'm not a terrorist, but...
Starting point is 01:27:06 But it's Saddam Hussein. You're a misunderstood! He's a victim of the Americans and he has his date of celebration, he's April 28th like me. And me, my birthday date is the death of Ben Laden. Ok. Oh! That's kind of nice, huh?
Starting point is 01:27:30 We realized that. Yeah. And that's it. Our values all agreed, so we started doing projects together. Chris, we even did a pitch together, we're not going to talk about our pitch. Yes, it's true. We pitched. It's going to be really cool if one day it comes out. Yes. We pitched, we went. It's called the scriptwriters' pitch.
Starting point is 01:27:49 They do that for diversity. So they're like, hey, you're two of diversity, come. We're like, perfect, we have three days off. We get there and it takes a project. And I didn't think it was her who insisted. I have a question before you tell the children. In the pitch, diversity, are all just ladies and gentlemen who receive your pitch? No. Where is it? Yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Wait, you haven't finished your sentence. You haven't finished your sentence, yes. We didn't understand what you said. But it's just whites who do it. It's producers. That's ethnic ethnic for us. It's producers. It's producers. And they're looking for diversity projects.
Starting point is 01:28:31 So yes, producers are mostly... They're quite white. Yes, that's it. And... yeah. And we... we got involved in it. No, but she said, there's a pitch thing we need to do together. And I was like, hey, that doesn't make me feel that way. And you're like, no, no,'t feel like it, it's annoying.
Starting point is 01:28:45 And you're like, no, no, you have to come. But the thing is, you know, you're in a class for three days, but we have classes. It's the training. Hey, we looked at each other, we didn't laugh. You know, in the sense that we were sitting on a table, we arrived late the first day already, and we sat down and as soon as they look at me from afar like that,
Starting point is 01:29:03 and the other side, we start laughing, everyone looks at us. Everyone is a bit tragic. We get there because they stayed in place. It's a three-day training. At the end, you have the opportunity to pitch in front of the teachers. What is the training? What does it teach you? How to pitch, how to build a Bible, how to do these things. It takes three days to learn that. We already come up with an idea. Yes, of course, we have an idea. So, since you have an idea, but Sam, could you have learned that in an email?
Starting point is 01:29:32 No, but you have to practice. No, there are subsidies, they rented a room. No, we have to be there three days. No, but you practice in front of the class, and then they say that, that, that, that, that was not good, then we go to improve, we come back. And we, it was still, we arrive there, light, and then, good, we'll improve, we'll come back. And we arrive there, with a slight bang, and everyone has projects, diversity is all about projects. So it's all, I'm going to talk about genocide, and then you arrive, hey, there's two girls in a car! It's really true!
Starting point is 01:29:59 We were really laughing, but everyone was pitching things. It's sad. They come from their vehicles. And everything. Say it. Say what you did. There was a girl who had a really interesting documentary on the way to Oxford. Roxham.
Starting point is 01:30:22 Yes, yes. I misheard. Oxford is a university in England. It's like a mix of art. She plugs on her computer and we go to her and she goes up. While she was doing her business, I talk a lot all the time. There's a picture of a laundry on a bed with a bag. Who opened Marketplace? I did. I was like, I'm going to the market.
Starting point is 01:30:31 I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market.
Starting point is 01:30:39 I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I'm going to the market. I was talking all the time. And there's a picture of, like, it's a bedcloth on a bed, with a bag. And I'm like, who opened Marketplace? And then we laugh, and she's like, that's the poster for my film,
Starting point is 01:30:54 it's the bedcloth I wore while crossing the Roxane Highway. I turned around, I did Jack O'Lantern. I was looking for a cinema to help me, I was like, yo, I'm gonna fuck myself. That was her project, you know. It's a bedcl help me, I was like, I feel like I'm going to die. I was like, no, no, no! That was her project. It was Duleen, I wanted to say something for her, and I was like, I'm going to rip this off. Who's trying to sell Duleen on Marketplace? So yes, we can be racist too.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Did you see her? Or did you know it was you? Yes. Or did you look at her in your direction and you were like, huh? Yes. Yes, and I was looking for her, she was already in bed. She didn't look at me anymore. And then I was like, come to the cinema. Help me!
Starting point is 01:31:36 You're going to be all alone. And then the girl comes to sit down and she talks about her project and everything. And everyone gives criticism. And then after that, I look at her and the world criticizes her project. then I look at her and everyone criticizes her project. It's really constructive criticism. And then she starts crying. And then I was just like... Your laundry is beautiful.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Your laundry is beautiful. I love your hair. That's all. Hey, poor person, imagine that you illegally go back to a country and four years later you still have the same clothes to put on a bed. It's not going well. It's clothes that she didn't have on her. He was just in pictures, but he's symbolic. No, no, I know, but she had it in her wardrobe.
Starting point is 01:32:18 I think I'm saving myself from another country. I hope that four years later, I have a nice suit left. In the suit, yeah. But at the same time, I don't want to judge, but what is she doing in a pitch business for TV if she refuses? In fact, there was a little bit of a lie in there. Yes, but you know, in the sense that I'm like... Everyone wanted a subsidy. No, no, but I mean, you can't even sign in there. She's like, look, I'm here illegally in your country, there's my shitty laundry.
Starting point is 01:32:44 Oh no! I'm here illegally from your country. There's my shitty laundry. Oh no! I'm a realist. No! So anyway, we know each other from the beginning, but we've been very close for 4 years now. And what's your show, your pitch going to be? We've already done it.
Starting point is 01:33:03 We can't talk about it. We can't talk about it. We can say, oh no, ok, perfect. We can say it afterwards. Hey! Is it... When are you going to know if it worked? I don't know, I didn't understand. Do you have it?
Starting point is 01:33:20 Or does it mean you have it if she's stressed out? No, no, we don't have it yet. We don't have it yet. But it smells good. Yes, it smells good. Perfect. Because you are competing against... I don't have the right to be in the country. We were two fingers from Pitié Voilée, just to be sure. Do you feel, for example, that in the business of a man,
Starting point is 01:33:44 that you feel that he plays too much the part of racism? And you're like, hey, you're a jerk, calm down. Well, no, but... Yes, but there were some that we told them, but I think it's their experience. No, you can't judge someone. You say, hey, they're not as racist as that. White bitch, you're my brother. Yeah, but it's not all white. One year and your brother is not as cool as that. But it's that, in fact, there are people who talk,
Starting point is 01:34:14 let's say we started, hello, I come from Longueuil, blah, blah, blah. Then we were pitching, but they were like, yes, my father was shot in Côte d'Ivoire. Then they pitched a science-fiction thing, and nothing to do with his subject. I was like, well, frankly... My father was killed in front of me. My story is two guys going on the moon.
Starting point is 01:34:36 Yes, that's exactly it. You know why? In front of producers, it's good to talk about yourself, and say, here's my vehicle. Imagine the producer trying to sell this. A science fiction story. And then they'll try to get in the... No, but it's not just science fiction.
Starting point is 01:34:58 The guy with a gun. That guy lost everyone. Yes, so much. In any case, some of them had nothing to do with it. Some of them had something to do with the story. Even us, we integrated little things like we want to represent our parents, but it's not so much. But that, you're doing it?
Starting point is 01:35:17 It had something to do with it. Yes, it had something to do with it. It wasn't random. Yes, it had something to do with it. But that, I think... I'm still getting it out of my head. It's my relationship with the privacy. Yes, yes, Chris, you're right.
Starting point is 01:35:33 It's related. It's your social networks. Exactly. Everything is in everything. Yann, another question. Chris, we answered for a long time. Sorry, for real, sorry. We're done.
Starting point is 01:35:41 We're done. We're done. We're done. I think it's true. Sorry, for real, sorry. No, we made it up to be a bite. I think it's true. There are people who ask, do you consume humor yourself? And who inspires you in your humor? What do you consume humor for and who inspires you in your humor? Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:36:06 Well, go ahead. I'm stressed. No, for real, I like it a lot. Say Mike. Say me. No, no, no. Lola! No, no, but anyway, no, no, but I like what you do, but I mean, it's not...
Starting point is 01:36:19 But... No, it's nice. I'm comfortable with him, that's why I have jokes. No, but in real life, I like a lot, I know it's unpopular opinion, but I like Louis Cicke. Louis Cicke, yeah, really. I find him excellent in his writing, I know it's wack, but it's true. And I like a lot Tineffay and Amy Poehler. Ok.
Starting point is 01:36:43 Yeah, they're my teachers. I would be Philip Bond and... No, it's not true! In the same vein! Oh yeah, that's it! Oh yeah, you're right! We're telling the truth tonight! No, no, honestly, I don't speak English,
Starting point is 01:37:00 like everyone else could have known. And I know that in English, it's not... But I grew up with humour in Quebec. I love everyone. Really? No, no, wait. Everyone! Everyone! That's a big myth. I'll tell you something. I grew up with the guys just to laugh.
Starting point is 01:37:16 I have my favorites, for sure. You, Cathy Gauthier, Sugar Sammy. When it was grinsant, I liked that more. But I listened to everyone in a way, like the music. That's not the question. Who inspired you? I listened to... Who inspired me? Everyone! Did anyone see you say, because of her or because of him,
Starting point is 01:37:44 that you could do that? When YouTube, the Jamel Comedy Club, hey, because of her or because of him, I could do this. It's for sure that when YouTube, the Jamel Comedy Club, started, we had access to that, and then Rachid too. You know, everyone who is a bit of diversity, because I didn't know what I could do. I was funny, like in class, I was the clown, but what I could talk about on stage, it's come to validate a little that,
Starting point is 01:38:02 ah, my stories can be funny too, my reality can become humorous. So it's for sure that they inspired me a lot, all the people of diversity. But you, and it's true, I'm not saying it because you're there, you, Kassie... Well, I want to change my answer. Me too. But I listened to them repeatedly, I knew them by heart. I even did, sometimes I took extracts from Patrick Groulx and I did them at the Gala Mériteur. It's the same thing.
Starting point is 01:38:29 Oh yeah, that's true. Yes, but I think I told you the other day... Like, I stopped smoking. Patrick Groulx had a number that stopped smoking. I was 13 and I was doing that. Do you have smokers? I stopped smoking. Oh, fuck!
Starting point is 01:38:43 It's true. Your family didn't understand anything. I was saying that you have a number, it's from the theater. I was saying that it's the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. I'm 13 years old. That's funny. And I smoked too. You were snitching.
Starting point is 01:39:03 I was selling claps and you know... But yeah, everyone inspired me, Mike. But especially diversity, for sure. That's cute. You don't agree? No, yes, yes. No, no, but I'm trying to think, since you were talking about fat legs, diversity, me... I have almond eyes, I look a bit Asian or native, but no grou.
Starting point is 01:39:29 I'm from the generation Louis-José-Houd, you, Patrick-Grou, it was all my... I love... I wanted to do humor, but it was impossible for me to say, hey, I want to do humor, and when Jamel arrived, I like, oh yeah, I can do it! But I really felt that in English. There was Russell Peters, who is a guy from Toronto, that when the internet went viral, he became the biggest stand-up star in the world. He wasn't very well known in Canada, but everyone in the countries that weren't white could identify with him.
Starting point is 01:40:10 When I started open mic in English, I felt that when I started open mic in English, it was just white people, a lot of Italians, a lot of Jews. But when Russell became famous, there were so many Asians, Indians, Arabs, Blacks, there were a lot of them before, but I really felt that something was happening. And then in Quebec, I think, Rashid, there are really, You know, that people have said, Oh yeah, Tabarnaque, me too, I could do that. Rachid, Sugar, Mariana. And now thinking about that, Anthony, that for the Black people,
Starting point is 01:40:58 people have said, Oh yeah, it's possible. Totally. Yes. But in France, it's a lot of that too. In France, before the Jamel, it was Florentine, Forestier, a little more of the characters. It was crazy. But what's funny is that I have a French friend that one day we were talking about stand-up and he said, yeah, you know, he said... Yeah! Excuse me.
Starting point is 01:41:22 Yeah, you want spaghetti? Yeah, yeah, totally. He was like... Are we going to protest or what? Yeah! Yeah, yeah, you're a faggot! Yeah, yeah, totally! We're going to protest! Because he said, yeah, you're doing an ethnic art. Because for him, the first time he saw stand-ups, it was with Jamel Komdikla.
Starting point is 01:41:36 So in his head, I was like, Mike seems to be an Arab on stage. Oh yeah! But you know, in all the peoples, I saw a documentary on that, Mike seems to be an Arab on stage. Oh yeah? Yes, yes. But you know, in all the people, I saw a documentary about it, I don't know if we talked about it or if I read it somewhere, I don't know. It's blurry.
Starting point is 01:41:53 No, but in all the people, the comedians, the comedians, it's often the small people. You understand? It's often the ethnic people. You know, in Turkey, it's often the Armenians who were artists, or Kurds who were artists, and the Turks, you know. Well, each time, there was... Today, I watched a video on YouTube where a guy explained that Teli Moris became famous because he was rich before. And I think, for a person in humour, you're better when you start poor.
Starting point is 01:42:27 Because you know, first, you'll have more food, and second, there's no one who relates to someone who's born a billionaire. You'll be like, hey, fuck you, cunt. You could do absurd humour, otherwise you couldn cunt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could do some absurd humor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Otherwise, you couldn't talk to the people. The way you say it, people are going to ask, are the deniers... It's fucking rich people. It sounds like a rich kid.
Starting point is 01:42:56 Yeah. But... It's true. Look at the little boy you want to tax. Yeah, yeah. I can hear you. But the deniers... I can't imagine the Denys... No, but it's true, it was a bad example, but it was just... I didn't think we were going to elaborate on that, but I said it in a way that...
Starting point is 01:43:11 You know, like, I thought I was right, and now I regret what I said. It's fucking shit. But what I wanted to say about that is that in Quebec, you know, there was a documentary, and you know, Quebec in Canada, we are the small people, so humor works better here. Because all the time, this will to say, I want to claim something, and I have something to say. But that's why in the United States, there is a complete generation that all good comedians are black. Because when things are not going well, you don't need to find... To have a platform.
Starting point is 01:43:47 Yes. To say, OK, our life sucks, but this is funny, this is funny. It's always in the suffering that you try to find humor. And if you don't suffer, it's hard to be funny. It's hard to be funny by eating caviar in a yacht. For real! Yes. It's funnier when you're hungry, and you have a ass,
Starting point is 01:44:08 and you have a mouth, and shit on the stage. We're miserable. Yeah, that's it. Yann, do you have one last question? Yes, Yann, one last question. Someone is asking, apart from your pitch, do you have other projects in common?
Starting point is 01:44:24 Yes, we always have a podcast that we keep less regular. We don't promise anything to anyone, but we do this funny thing called De Dame. And it's just us who talk about several topics. So we have that, we have... what else? That's it, there's our pitch. That's it, we have our web series. If... If...
Starting point is 01:44:47 That comes, maybe. Can you talk about that? I don't know why we're watching. You have to talk about it. No, I don't think so. Every time you start to brag about something, you watch it. I don't think so. But we can say that if you're really not sure.
Starting point is 01:44:58 We'll learn in two years that you have a violent head. Dua will become the Quebec's post-dating queen. You are all invited! We always have projects like we do shows together but not on stage together but we do everything together. Yes, that's it. We are often together,
Starting point is 01:45:24 often in capsules. But our podcast is not monetized. We do it when we are tempted, when we have something to say. We put it on. It's really when we have something to say. It's not regular. Are you going to start doing it regularly? I tried, but it went with Brother. So I was like, well...
Starting point is 01:45:40 I'm going to try. Since they came back, we didn't take the time. But yes, we tried once a week. But the listeners, the audience, know that we promise nothing. So we kept it like that. Yes, that's it. And your tour, you're going into the process of re-working with your new stuff in September?
Starting point is 01:46:00 Well, in September, it's really going to be like re-working, like... Re-working, re-working, re-working. Like really old stuff. So you're going to be real cash, like... Cash, cash, cash. Like, real V1s, DAs. So you're going to grab all your old stuff? Yes. Okay. Like, new stuff. Okay. And the real cash starts in 2026.
Starting point is 01:46:14 Okay. January 2026. Which means that your first one is probably the end of 2026 or even 2027? Like, one year later. Okay. I'm just going to try to have some stock. I'm just going to do some 45-minute terminal stuff. How do you write this show?
Starting point is 01:46:33 I don't know how you write it. In English, completely. I imagine it's going to be in French. Google Translate, Turkish or French. But do you work with someone for the texts? Well, right now, yes and no. In the sense that I had done a brainstorm with three authors, including Dua. You know, I really like brainstorming with Dua.
Starting point is 01:47:00 She's really good at giving me ideas, she knows my universe. And she punches, she's a real punch. Yeah, really, she has some good punches. ideas, she knows my universe. She's a punch-armer. Yeah, really. She has some good punch-arms. No, not really. And I like it a lot. As soon as I'm stuck, I go to her. I'm like, I know the language. So right now, I really did a brainstorm with three authors. Of topics I would like to talk about.
Starting point is 01:47:19 I'm going to write them all down. V1s. Sometimes I punch. I'm going to see everything. V1s, sometimes I punch, I'll see where they are. Do you write sitting in front of your computer or standing up while talking on your phone? Normally I write, because my way of doing it is really to write the skeleton, what I want to say, then restructure it, then add gags, add angles, differences. That's my way of writing. But now I'm trying to talk about it alone in my living room, and I like that.
Starting point is 01:47:50 I just get up and go, hey! And now it looks like... Anyway, I'm trying to change my way of doing it. Because sometimes writing is very... It's very sensual. Yes.
