Thank you!
Thank you, everyone! Good evening!
Thank you for being here!
Thank you!
I had...
I had...
I talked about it a little bit in the other podcast
but I had...
It's been a couple of weeks since I've been doing a lot of shows
and now it seems like my voice is becoming
what it was
but I think nobody noticed that my voice was becoming what it was.
I think no one noticed that my voice was weird, except me,
where it was always weird.
But this week, I...
Now it's going to sound like a big brak.
You know, my modest tour is going well.
I did my show in Brossard,
and I realized it was the 30th time I did the Brossard room.
It's really funny because I woke up in the morning and I was like,
it's so hot! It's been 30 times that I play at the Star, 10-30, it's still cool, 30 times at the Etoile,
and I keep saying 30 times at the Etoile,
and then I think about it and I'm like,
it's been 8 years, it's no longer called the Etoile.
And then I was like, what is it called?
And I had no idea what the name of the room was,
and I didn't want to google it, and I was like,
look, Tabarnak, it's been 30 times I've played, I had to... And then I was like, look, Tabarnak, I've played it 30 times.
And I was like, is that the theater?
All theaters in Quebec are insurance companies.
So I was like, is that the Pro Mutuelle theater? Is that Beneva?
And then I arrived and I said, oh, Manuvi? Well, yes, that's it.
So you see that it works in crisis, the ad, that Manuvi,
but Manuvi paid millions to say, we're going to have new customers.
Even the artists don't know, that's it.
So that's it, that's my anecdote.
How much time do you plan going to do this tour?
I'm taking a break for the summer.
I have one month left.
I'm taking a break for the summer and then we'll start again in September and we'll finish next summer.
So it's going to be two full seasons.
That's it. I don't work in the summer anymore.
I don't feel like working in the summer anymore.
I've become...
I've become lazy.
I've become really lazy.
What are you going to do during your holidays?
I'm going to catch some sun.
It's going to be really that.
Are you a guy who holds on to the sun at the beach?
No, no, no, no.
I wouldn't even travel.
I have a pool at home that I don't use as much as that.
I bought a skimmer that walks on the top.
It's like a pool swing, but on the top.
I love that.
I'm going to be in the pool 24 hours a day.
Maybe not as much as that, but often.
And I'm just going to relax and it's going to do me good.
I'm going to take care of my wife and my family.
I'm going to be very happy.
Hey, Yann!
Are you ready to invite them?
Yes, I'm ready. It's going to be fun in Tabarnak.
I talked about it at the top.
One of the guests, it's his first time listening.
He's a director whose first film, it really marked my generation.
When I saw that film, I was like,
Asti, that's good. I was proud to be Quebecois by watching this film.
I was proud to come from Quebec by watching this film, even if I had no connection with the film.
It was absurd to write a report in there. I had no connection in there, but it was incredible. And now, they're making the film again in theatre.
We have the stage director of the theatre play and the director of Quebec Montréal.
Here is Ricardo Trodgy and Pierre-Luc Funk!
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very much. It's funny, you both had great careers, and I'm just talking about one project, but that's it.
Thank you. You had a great career.
It started at 12, and I didn't have a child, but I'm happy to have a Céline.
You're the only actor who started at 12 and it ended well.
Well, it's not over yet.
You don't know.
When we were young comedians, everyone said to us, you have to go to the theater school or you'll never work again.
So I was fine when I was young.
The technicians helped me to believe in my dream.
When you're a kid and you have a dream,
people usually say, no, you won't succeed.
You succeeded and even when you succeed, they say, it won't last.
They also based themselves on the past.
We've met some people who don't do that anymore.
I think it's because I was so scared that I had to work harder to make it work.
But I'm not the only one.
I'm in Carle-Boucher too.
Oh yeah?
And we're two.
You're two. Exactly.
No, but there's a lot of them!
There are two of them.
There are some girls too, who crossed the line.
Yes, there are plenty of them who keep crossing the line.
Yes, there's Laetitia and Zanper.
There are... plenty of them!
Well...
There are some, for real, but there are more that are bad than good.
Yeah, but we don't have a story about the Macaulay-Calkins.
No, no, no. But I think...
Manolo is still living well today.
He's still making music.
But I think there's just not enough money.
Let's say you have a father who is a crook and he steals all your cash.
He steals at least the DA.
It's like, oh yeah, I just saved myself with $8,400.
That's it. But there were some.
We heard stories like, beware of your parents.
Oh yeah.
Who was it?
I can't remember.
No, but were it the producers who said that?
Beware of your parents?
Yes, yes, yes.
There are a lot of actors and actresses who don't want to work with children because they hate parents.
It's often parents who are too intense.
But have you ever worked with young people?
I listen to you and I have a memory of a little comedian I hired.
We were in the second season.
So we had to say,
I'm going to do this fast,
he's going to have a few thousand dollars in his bank account.
And one of the comedians and I said,
what are you going to do with your money?
And he said,
well, my father said,
I could maybe have big hockey gloves.
I said, I don't know if he's paying.
Yeah, the second season.
I mean, the first season, maybe there was a Puck, I don't know what it's called. The second season. The first season, maybe there was a fuck, I don't know.
I left that dead.
I can't wait to see the developments.
Did his father come to get him in Ben Clif, Flandre 9?
We're very happy he made his dream come true.
We're very happy that he made his dream come true.
But, let's say when there are auditions and the kids come... Yes.
But I think when you're a director and you're in the cast,
let's say when you're in the cast, just saying no to an adult,
often it must be hard, but to a child must be scary.
To break a dream.
Maybe, I didn't know, but we don't say no to them.
No, I don't do that.
No, I'm not... It's less Nazi than that. Maybe at that time it was like that.
In my head...
Cut!
No, sorry.
I thought that directors are like guys in Love on the Spectrum, who just...
BANG! Out!
In the studio there's a trap and the director has a lever and when it doesn't work, it's like...
That's how it works.
So do you make them believe, hey, it was really good?
I keep that as a joke because they are children, but as I was saying earlier, sometimes I talk to the parents about the children's audition.
Because there are children who have no pleasure, absolutely not to be there, and they are terrified, and you see that it's the dream of some others.
So I think I take a little saloon and tell the parents, no fun in the audition room, these little girls.
So, oh, but is it because they are going to the audition? No, you know it right away when they have any fun in the audition room with those girls. I was like, do they have any fun?
No, it's because it's my dream to be in the audition.
I like Ben Plays, I was wondering if I had a neighbor who had that.
That's what happens.
I saw the other time, my beautiful daughter plays football.
It's a women's football flag.
I go to the first game go, parents are relatively cool.
Second game, there were two of the parents who were like,
hey, we're playing table tennis!
And they were screaming, and I was like, Christ, your dream is to make women's football flag!
Let your daughter play, crazy Chris!
There are parents who are more intense than their children.
There are a lot of people who say,
if I don't succeed, my child will succeed instead of me.
I didn't have that.
My parents used to tell me,
my mother used to say,
you have to be proud of him.
And my mother wanted to be an actress when she was young
and she decided to do something else.
And she was like, you have to be proud that you're realizing your dream.
And she was like, if he wanted to become an accountant,
and he had succeeded, I would have been proud too.
But she had to defend that.
Let's see.
Do you have an accountant here?
No.
That's true. Oh yeah. No. You're not going to have a accountant here? No. No, that's true. That's it.
Oh yeah.
But I have two sisters too, you know, so...
They're accountants.
No, but the two are so close to doing that in life, you know, so you know...
My mother, I think, tried to defend you a lot.
I'm not more proud of my guy than my daughters, you know.
I was next to her and I was like,
Oh no, mom.
But yeah, so he defended me.
Maybe just before he died, he was like, the other two!
I'm going to scream!
No, no, it won't work.
You're my only truth!
Even your father is...
He's screaming my story.
But for real, when you have a child who does something you dream of doing, it must be fun.
And not that you're disappointed with your sisters.
But it must be fun to see your kid do what you want to do.
I don't have a child who does what I would have liked to do, but I imagine that...
I've already said that to my parents.
I was like, Chris, it must be fun to be them for me.
Yeah, yeah.
No, but I was like, I would be happy if I had a parent who...
He's well-off.
He does what he likes. I he likes. I would be happy.
My daughter has a fight and I go through elimination.
I'm just happy that she didn't break her teeth and that it's going well.
All that was successful.
What she's going to do in life, she's going to do something that looks like me.
Seriously, to answer your question in a way, I think we're just...
In my case, I'm just happy that it's going well and that she's happy.
I know it's Quentin, but it's true.
So maybe your mother is a sister when she's happy. And I know it's Quentin, but it's true.
So maybe your mother is sincere when she says she's happy with you and your two sisters.
Yes, she is sincere.
You have a big debt to pay.
How many children do you have?
I have one.
Okay, you have one.
Yes.
But it must be stressful.
I often thought about having a child who became a comedian.
I love my job, I love my life, but would I want that?
Without my worst enemy.
It's horrible as a career start.
I think so, man.
You have to be strong.
I don't know, when I see some who start,
or just the shell, it takes to cross a couple.
I don't know,
you could maybe tell us,
in your young career, let's say at the beginning of your twenties,
you must have had some... You must have had, in your young career, at the beginning of your twenties, you must have had some...
You must have had others in your gang that you saw collapse and never come back.
Or you just couldn't get over a...
I don't know, a few or a few.
I mean, I feel like sometimes it doesn't forgive you much.
I remember when I did the Ecole du Monde, they told us...
You know, we were twelve and they said,
in twelve, one of you will become a Vodafone, two or three will
survive and the others will all be abandoned.
It was a good start of the year.
We were like 5 or 6, which was relatively good.
And it was Martin's year, we felt that Martin was going to be rich.
So I was like, am I going to finish the show with a hello-hello?
Or am I going to hang myself in the basement of my building?
But your year, you're not like eight, you've become a celebrity? 8, to be a Guylaine Gay and Julien Tremblay. So yeah, that's it. Everyone is crazy about these two.
It's still...
Even the mix of the two, I don't know if we want to see that.
It would have been sick if it was Guylaine Tremblay.
Guylaine Tremblay took another tangent, but...
She had the second season of La Petite Vie.
I think I'm going to go to the school of humor.
To finish my year. She didn't do The One Woman Show think she's going to go to the school of humor. To finish my grade.
She didn't do the One Woman Show, she fell straight into her nose.
Now you're going to play, you're currently playing Martin Matt for his series, Vitrerie Joyale.
Vitrerie Joyale, well that's it, Martin plays his father, I play, well I don't play Martin, I play Philippe Joyal.
Ok.
Who is his son who wants to become humorous.
How does Martin feel? I don't know if anyone lost that here.
He's a good hint.
Yes.
And there's PY also. PY, King of the Seas who plays his brother who has an accident.
Ok.
I don't think it's inspired by his life but...
It's him who finds his ideas!
I think he wanted to get away from his staff by writing something else.
We'll see where it takes us.
But yeah, I...
And I have the impression that...
There's not much time in the show, but to play stand-up on TV is like a nightmare.
In the sense that it worries you?
Would you like to see a fake public stand-up that pretends to be nothing,
and you do the eighth take of a joke in front of people who...
I'd like to give you an example that you may not know much about,
but Mr. Seinfeld, his opening of episodes every time.
Sometimes it was funny, but we felt that there was a step back.
It's still an art that's more pleasant when you're live.
Where live? There's a capture and you do your number for real and you put it in series.
And this time you do the job.
I don't think you're supposed to do on TV, just to do them in front of a real world, to see if it's true.
No, because there is not a number at all.
It's a joke end.
There are the beginning of numbers, the beginning of business, and then we move on to something else.
So it's just you on stage, you have to do it.
Yeah, the other time I get to the store and it cuts.
To you who goes to the store.
Well, I wouldn't be stressed. It's not that bad.
No, but in any case, it's one of the things.
You know, making humor in a series is like for me,
it's the most complex layer.
Okay, okay, in that sense.
You know, it's like filming a part of improvisation.
It's like, it won't really be that.
Impro... I understand what you mean.
I often watch humor and I'm like,
look, it's not funny.
But improv, improv is a thousand times worse.
Playing improv, there's something...
You see... Louis Ciquet did it in that series. Playing improv, you're like, let's stay.
Louis Sique did it in this series, but he had a real stand-up.
I think he did a real stand-up.
Did you have a series in mind where you were like, oh, they're so well filmed and it's funny the numbers of the words?
No, there was...
No, but we sell a joy winery, a joyal winery.
There's no such thing.
It's just the quest to become a winner.
A few years ago, I had a role in a British film
in which the main character is a stand-up.
I told the guy, I had done it.
It's the toughest thing to film because we saw the guy on stage and it didn't work.
The film doesn't work because of that. You see the guy on stage, the scenes that are bad, we believe it,
but the scenes that are good and the audience is shocked.
You don't laugh with it.
No, I laughed as much as I was angry.
It doesn't work.
It's like a gradation of numbers, but on paper you're like,
the gradation is written, but I don't see it.
But except for example if it's Martin who wrote it,
he knows it, so it must be just the beginning.
Exactly, he's very good at managing that.
We avoid that kind of situation.
But at the same time, the difference is that you've already done stand-up.
I think that's why you're afraid that it's going to be bad.
You know, you automatically have a little more respect than someone who's just like,
OK, give me the lines and I'm a professional.
Exactly, the real feeling of this...
I think that's why I wanted to try the Senop just to tell myself...
When?
I was just having a gala to laugh, I had friends...
If it's because of him, it's almost...
Thank you very much everyone!
Close the door.
There was no other event that could have caused the end, I hope.
No, but you did an anime.
In Montreal, you did an anime in Quebec too.
Yeah, I did numbers in Quebec.
I was in the same gang as Charles Pellerin, Jérémy Fournier, and all that.
We went to the Cégep together.
They really wanted to become comedians, to do comedy shows.
I did some numbers just because the guys did some.
So I tried it anyway.
And for real, it must be the most stressful thing.
I find it more stressful to do stand-up than anything.
All along the number or the minute before boarding or the day before?
It's very clear the question.
I understood everything. Yes, I understand.
It was very well expressed.
Thank you, Carl.
It's really the minute before, and even if I knew that the number I had made had already
worked, I was still terrified.
But I imagine, a start of the morris, it's worth it.
A shot, a shot, your first laugh, there, there, it's fine.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes, yes.
But that's what I think the... 3000 first shows. But that's it 3,000 first shows.
It's long.
It's like a movie, he's encouraging you.
Look at me, I'm 29 years old.
That's what it's a mess. Yeah, it's really...
And for that too, I think there was a lot of humor that was doing...
So much that this fear is great.
I think there's a lot of humor that, as soon as they have a party,
they do the number they know that works.
The fear of going to the world with a V1, it's scary.
In addition, when you arrived, before you're in Gallup, you're a well-known personality.
People know you're funny.
You arrive with the bar.
It doesn't help. There's no sympathy from the audience.
Yes, but the bar is high.
People are like, hey, it's going to be fun.
But a new guy, you know, you're like, what is he going to do?
You give him more chances.
It's more fun to be an underdog than to be someone with expectations.
But you who have been to Quebec, is it easier?
Is the public more docile here than when you did it elsewhere?
When things are not going well?
They are more generous here.
The only place I've seen that's more generous than Quebec
is the black public in the United States.
It's crazy, it's stunning after the premises, sometimes.
It makes no sense.
I haven't done much in front of just black audiences.
But once I did a show, it was all black people.
And I had standings after jokes.
And I was like, oh, damn, I'm Steve Harvey.
I was so happy.
Even going to church, I think I would have continued been a Christian if I had just been in the church where there were only blacks.
It's like they sing, everyone is standing, it's like a party!
The others were like, I'm really looking forward to the little boot that you give me a piece of bread.
Oh yeah!
The only boot that's fun.
Oh yeah!
Is it that our churches are bad?
Let's say...
It's a plan.
Christ...
Other times of the show.
It was a joke I wanted to talk about.
I had...
It's depressing.
They put someone dead on a cross.
It's true or not?
But I made that comment.
He gave me a priest and he took it badly.
I had just said, I had done it, but he was good at it.
That's not why I had done the comment.
But you know in what circumstances?
Hey, my lord Peltier, come here.
I have to tell you.
It doesn't sound like pyrotechnics.
Our father.
No, it was a wedding.
And the guy was funny.
And then I went to see him and I said,
hey, it was really funny.
And I didn't know him at the time,
so I just had the look of a guy who has advice for me.
And I was like, hey, it was really funny.
I liked that.
I don't understand why, you know,
your job is to jizz with the school of humor or theater just to learn how to speak.
Some people are like...
And I lost it.
He closed the door and left.
That's it. Bye.
I remember... I went to church when I was young.
Until I was like 8 or 9 years old.
I remember the time when I told my dad I didn't want to go to church anymore.
But you started at what age?
You all started very young.
At 2 and a quarter, he was in my age range.
I took my motorbike class at 6. You're all starting out very young. At two and a quarter, he was in his first year of school.
I did my motorbike class at six.
The priest had even told me, he was ready to take me to the steps.
He was like, he's going to make his confirmation before the age.
I was pretty talented.
I didn't do it in German.
Why did he make you take steps?
I don't know, my great-unclelaw came to confirm it and he was like,
you come on Sundays, instead of doing six courses after four,
we'll make you confirm.
That's a skill I didn't know you had.
That's exactly where I did it, it doesn't bother me to go to the movies.
So I'm not confirmed.
No?
No.
Yet, you have a bright future.
You, were you, you know a bright future. You know, your father is usually pretty religious.
Yes, yes, absolutely, but not my father at all.
Oh no?
No, it's my mother.
She's back in the church.
She's in there right now, I think.
She's back?
Well, there's a break from 22 to 64, I'd say.
She's not a big Christian.
We're in break.
You're a good example.
When you were a kid, you planted a seed
that will maybe come back when you die.
It's the same thing with boys.
You don't know the story?
That's what I remember.
You're going to plant a seed. Do you know the story?
Do you know the story? I'm going to go there.
No, no, but the father, Pelladot, Pelladot's father, the great boss of all this, is a...
If I'm not mistaken, he studied philosophy for a long time.
Pierre Pelladot's father?
Yes, yes, excuse me, not Pierre Cass, his father.
Pierre the...
He always laughed a little on the very Catholic side. Yes, Pierre the... He always laughed a little bit. Pierre. On the very Catholic side.
Yes, that's it.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
The other one.
The father.
The father.
Pierre.
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
It's Pierre the stone that was a pillar.
So this gentleman, who has died for almost 25 years, I'm not mistaken, always laughs a little
about religion because he found his link with them and blah blah blah.
Obviously he's using philosophy and the others were practically atheists.
A few days before his death, he asked to be finally built,
I don't remember what he had to do to be an officer.
But like a bottom-up, he said,
I might have three days left, I wouldn't take the chance, I got it wrong.
That's so much of a move!
It's going to be the move of many people. My generation, we went back to the way we came in until about 9 or 10 years ago.
But until 9 or 10 years ago, we had that in our lives.
I went to church for three weeks.
Right after communion, I bought a brown kit with boots.
I thought it was beautiful.
I wanted to go back to the mass.
I went back three weeks, but at one point there was too much snow and the boots...
They caught the water and I threw it away.
A good place to cruise, the church.
Oh man, I was so excited.
That's it.
I had hair.
At my first communion...
I remember at my first communion, he had introduced me.
He said, Pierre-Luc-Fuck.
Oh yeah!
So my first communion was named after Pierre-Luc-Fuck.
Oh yeah!
I was too young to do that.
No, no, I said it must be that.
Well Chris, that's what it been going on since the beginning.
Did people laugh when you said that?
No, because it's an old man.
And there are so many shots too.
It's not like the people were very attentive.
We'll tell them.
At 24, no. Jeremy, Le Mille, Pierre Le Pen.
Fuck.
It went a little over the top. I think I said that to the priest too. Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love Yeah, but the evening for me is that too.
You're a coward.
When you think about it, it's stories that count.
You don't hear anything. It's just like...
There was a guy who was wearing a...
I remember I was always...
When I went to the bathroom,
I walked downstairs and washed my hands
eight times, I came back and he was like...
What's he wearing? Oh, he's a coward. I walked downstairs and washed my hands eight times, I came back and he was like...
Oh, that's a long one.
I was raised... My father was a Protestant, my mother was Catholic, so we went to both churches.
And I really liked the hostages.
Since Protestants gave them bread twice a year, but it was real bread.
They gave you a piece of bread and they gave you a jar of wine.
I liked that.
But...
It's the same as they got it.
Yeah, because the children were supposed to do it.
They gave you the wine and you gave it to them, but I was always like...
And then my mom was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, and then I was like, no, no, it's a little gargoyle.
But I liked that Catholics always had a cheap nature.
Have you ever surprised your parents to be a little obsessed with one wanting the other to be a Protestant and vice versa?
No, no, no.
The difference is that some don't believe that the Virgin Mary did it all by herself, right?
No, even...
It seems to me that it was the protest.
Let's see, I can't...
The truth is that it became a protestant, since there was a king who kept trying to put his new wife pregnant,
and since she couldn't get pregnant, she had an accident.
And then the next one couldn't get pregnant.
It's not a 7 or 8, it's more like a 15.
And the reality is that it must have been just that this little king was sterile,
and he was beating poor virgins who were getting murdered.
But when one day the Pope said,
hey stop killing women,
he did the perfect thing, we'll go to another church.
And then he attracted Catholic priests
by saying, hey we'll become Anglicans,
it will be the same, but you have the right to fuck women if you want.
So yeah, there's half of them who said yes sir, the other half said oh, are
there any boys like that?
My god, it's incredible.
I think if you were my history teacher, I would have remembered history much more easily. Protestants, Anglicans, Catholics,
they both believe the same thing
or something like that.
Lutheran, I don't know what they think,
but my father was United,
so he thought that...
What? What's going on?
He thought that
there's a number, a 800 down there,
to give...
He started talking in a drunk and never came back.
But, you know, my father believed in Virgin Mary, but it seems a little less important.
The big difference is that the priests are married.
And my father, there was a time, his minister, you know, there were women had women, and one of them was a lesbian.
My father never really talked to me about...
About church.
No, but I didn't know if my father was homophobic, but I always thought that my father was born in 1930, clearly homophobic,
but I went to church with him, and church with a lesbian who said to my father,
put yourself on her knees and listen to him.
So I was like, he's not homophobic.
He felt confident, he didn't feel threatened.
He said, I don't want to die.
Hey, I didn't think we were going to talk about it.
No, no, no.
I practiced in the church, other things.
I can throw away all my repetitions.
Buddhism, Mike!
That, you feel when...
Do you have any questions?
Whether it's Buddhism, normally we're open.
We know nothing, we like to talk about it.
But you had that at school and we had ethics and religious culture, or morals.
We had morals, it was our big switch in the 80s.
Morals are like religion, but they're just values.
No, we didn't care, it wasn't much.
My moral teacher, the only thing I remember of him,
he wanted to teach the Catechism.
So he was only talking about Jesus all the time.
A description of the time. No, that's not it.
He had said one day, and that was a phrase that had marked me,
he said, one day I stopped working and I said to myself, God will take care of me.
And he said, I haven't worked for two years, and God will take care of me.
And we were eight years old, and we were like, how do you pay your rent?
And he was like, God will take care of me.
And I was like, he was like...
You have a lot of money in your pocket.
I have no idea if he was in a cult or...
He looks a little bit like a lunatic.
In this course, he also told us that soap wasn't necessary.
It's still weird.
Did he cut his hair while God was taking care of him?
Yes, that's it.
Whether it's soap or rent, it's not necessary when God takes care of me. Whether it's a soap or a rent, it's not necessary when God takes care of you.
When God takes care of me, the laundry, one part of the jogging is enough.
When you...
Did you do... I was going to say double occupation.
The race... Did you do the race around the world when you did it or did it for the world?
When you did it, did that really change your life?
Yes, I think it's the equivalent of a gala just for you.
It's the first time you're put on credit and given the means and the chance to show what you know. So yes, when I went through that, after...
The day I put the foot in Radio-Canada to do this interview,
I just said to myself, I'm not getting on board.
They won't get on board, I'm going to organize myself.
I found a way to stay in there because I knew there were people
who were doing the race, who were doing that,
who worked a little bit in the field and who after two years,
they were getting on board.
But it was like, if I had the chance, if I was given the chance... To get in the field and after two years he landed. But it was like if I had the chance,
if I was given the chance... To get in the car.
Maybe it's more suitable for the people of the regions. And I'm not saying that Quebec
is a region, but we're a little far from the center, culturally, not culturally, but
showbiz, we're a little far. Three hours.
Yeah, that's it. Three hours of showbiz. No need for a car. I have God in me.
God takes care of me.
God takes care of me.
I think it's difficult to project yourself on TV and to get involved in this business
when you're in Quebec.
It's not easy.
Or you see people who are known regularly.
I don't know.
I had this thing, this kind of barrier.
When I arrived here and put the foot in Radio Canada, I saw in the corridor, I saw
the people who were there.
I saw them.
I saw them.
I saw them.
I saw them.
I saw them.
I saw them. I saw them. I saw and when I arrived here, I put the foot in
Radio Canada and I saw in the hallway all the posters of the shows when you're young,
so, oh my God, ok, and you see Patrice Lecuyer walking in the corner, you're like, ok, I'm
in a good bubble, so it's very inspiring and it's very motivating, so from that moment
I organized myself to stay there, I worked hard.
Was that 26 episodes or 13?
26. One hour.
So it lasted 8 months.
We were traveling for 6 months, but we had some preparation.
So you're going to 22 countries.
22.
How many are there today?
I wouldn't do it as fast. Cardio is with me.
No, no.
I don't know if I would do it. I would do it, but I would have to have the others
like me, my age, and abandoning everyone like me behind them.
And I'll write to you later what that means.
When you leave, how many people are there with you?
You know, the team that travels with you?
There's no one traveling with us. The trip is to do it alone.
So you're alone, with your camera, your tripod, your microphone.
That's the challenge.
You have to offer yourself six months like that.
You have to do about twenty of your videos.
That must be the hardest part.
Finding the most videos.
I would say that the hard part is that you forget it quickly.
Because you're given a chance.
You're not thinking about what you're missing or what you could do instead.
You're doing the most important thing in your life.
That gives you energy.
Without any exaggeration, if I did that again this year, it would be a little tougher.
I'm already in the right place.
Maybe after the third week...
You were counting Denis Villeneuve too, right?
No, Denis was there two years before me.
The year before me, Guylaine Antelle was there.
And Guylaine Tremblay. No, I was there.
She didn't finish it. She was going to do the little D.
You have to search a lot.
Do you still have a person from your year?
Who can you recognize?
Yes, of course. Hugo La Tulipe, who is a guy who makes documentaries.
He is the president of the Festival de Cinéma Québec.
There's François Parentot,
who was one of the people who made the partitions,
he's been in the humor industry for a long time.
François Prévost, he's the one who won.
Etienne Leblanc, who is a journalist at Radio-Canada.
You just name people I don't know.
It's okay.
Do you have an affair? Yes.
But I know they're known.
No, no, no, I'm kidding.
Everyone has a foot in the business.
One is a VDF, the others are VDF,
and four are hanging around.
You are the Martin Mat of your year.
It's the same ratio.
How many years after the race in Quebec-Montréal?
We shot it in 2001, 6 years after.
I did a few short films between the two of them.
What were you doing to pay your rent?
I didn't have fun anymore in 1996.
Before you came, I didn't remember your show.
I was listening to it at home.
So you were there in 1996?
15, 16, 17, a little bit in the 90s.
The Iron Age.
Yes.
Ok.
Philippe Fémiou, Geneviève Bond, everyone.
Oh yes.
That was the realization of Musique Plus.
What? Yes.
There was a lot of that.
Top 5 Franco-English, very good!
You listened to that, my brother?
Yes, I was there!
I remember when Music Plus...
Just the fact that the camera was the same,
I was like...
He's reinventing TV!
I was like, finally,
someone of my age is here.
I was also sure that all the names of VJs
were names of the days.
I thought they were all invented names.
You know, Nabi, Babu, Shelley.
There was like Isa,
I was like,
put your pockets to find a name.
You were surprised when you saw Claude Rajotte, it was the worst name of the day!
It was the worst name of the day!
It was like a monitor of the day!
No, it was their real name!
It was like, let's see!
I understood.
You know, we're about the same age, so when you first joined Musique Plus,
you probably saw Claude Rajotte.
That's a shock!
Claude Rajotte is pretty cold.
I said hi, I'll explain the deal, when I make a voice for one of your ads,
you put the paper, you put it there, and don't forget,
because I'm the one who paid for it.
Alright.
We didn't stay very close.
The day I left a year and a half later,
he came to my little 5-seater and said,
Hi, are you going?
I said yes.
He said, I'm going to touch you if I ever happen to meet you.
I said, damn it!
It's true, he never touched me.
All that in a year and a half.
But he's pretty nice.
But what was fun over there is that...
It's a bit scary too. I'm going to touch you, Ricardo.
You're leaving? You're leaving?
You're leaving, I'm going to touch you now.
No, I have God with me. We're going to get out.
No, no, but it went well.
There, there, Claude.
No, but you were talking about Vedette because yes, you meet,
that's the Vedette of the time, of that time, but quickly after, you'll have...
I was stuck on the back door, those who were advertising were there, then the door opens and it's Radiohead that comes in.
Claude Rajotte is impressive, but they are not famous.
We started to have stars like that and it was one of the most fun jobs I've ever had.
You weren't often on the station, I guess. No, but I arrived in the years when everyone was saying,
Music Plus is a piece of shit.
Ah, ok!
Because everyone was saying, there's no more video clips, how come there's no more video?
But Chris, YouTube was starting, so if you wanted to hear a Madonna tune, you went on YouTube instead of waiting in front of your TV and your VHS for 20 hours.
Did we lose some time?
The first job I did in my life was a videoclip. It was an exterior videoclip, the one that did the WePaths.
I did an exterior videoclip too the WePaths fondant. Yes, I made a video clip of Extérios too.
We started the same way, Mike.
Well, tell me.
And I remember that the day it was coming out, I was standing in front of it.
You know, there wasn't like, you see, what are the shows of the day going to be?
So I didn't know when it was going to be, and I had seen it once at 7 a.m. and the other time at 7 p.m.
Yeah, that's true.
It was like I listened to music for 12 hours.
Francis was the one who made the chicken swells, I think.
Yes!
It's true, but I never realized that before someone told me.
Now?
Well, now...
Now I had that info.
It was a long time ago, it worked only for you.
Who is that guy?
I had a déjà vu while I was living it.
Yes, it's true.
How old were you?
I was 9 years old.
It was like 3 little guys.
It was like a video with zombies and all that.
I remember we were shooting until 4am. It was like three little guys, it was like a video with zombies and all that. I remember we were shooting until 4am and it was 1am and the parents started to laugh.
They were like, our kids are going to school tomorrow.
My dad went to see the presenter and said, we already heard that they weren't going to school tomorrow.
We already knew that there was no future in school.
If you want to put the scenes of Pierre-Luc later, it's not a problem.
The director was like, you are a rapper, you are a rapper, we will give the scenes to Pierre-Luc.
My father was like, that's not what I wanted to say.
There are two actors who are a little pissed at me again today.
They are very angry.
I am the one who made their scenes.
That's funny. But that's the worst attitude to have.
And all the young people who listen,
you have to be the same.
In life, I think, in music,
as soon as you're boring and hard to work,
you won't work long.
My dad was cute,
because it was the first time he saw me
on a set. It was my first time. saw me on a set.
It was my first time.
I was excited.
I was happy.
My dad came home and I went to bed.
He said, my dad didn't think he was that good.
My dad thought it was boring.
He paid 300$ for casting photos in a swimsuit to make a TV commercial.
He didn't like it.
And my mom was like, no, no, he has to do it.
He likes it. That's what he wants to do in life.
Wash the pool?
No, but you know, opportunities for an actor.
He doesn't have a thousand.
So that day after the video clip, he came back home and said
I understand what you wanted to say, we're going to support him in there.
Thank you Daniel.
He's not here.
It would be sick if he followed you again.
Since the video clip, he missed nothing.
Yann is like, ok next question.
And Ricardo is like, ok.
No, no.
And your father is like, no, no, get rid of Ricardo.
And my guy can answer all the questions.
Come to my school tomorrow, he can answer your questions later.
If Mike is tired, he can go.
How is your show?
What is it called?
We're going to rock tomorrow.
Excuse me, tabarnak. I don't listen to TV, but I know you have a show.
We'll rock tomorrow.
I know it's good, but I'm not good with titles.
Yeah, well, it's... We'll get it back. I know it's good, but I'm not good with titles. Yeah, well it's...
We'll get it back.
We'll get it back.
Yeah, it's a show that...
It's a show of variety that we tried to make
a kind of mix between variety and fiction.
Ricardo came to spend a moment with us.
There are sketches, there are musical perforations,
it all happens in a house.
But we tried to make everything as homogeneous as possible.
It's often in a show with questions and there are sketches.
It's like watching two different shows, it's not the same team that does both.
We really tried to create a very homogeneous whole.
Often, you have the impression that they submitted the sketches or the questions because of a subvention.
Yeah, it's like, if we have sketches, we'll get a bonus check.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it.
Isn't that it?
Well, there's a bonus check.
Oh, well, that's it.
But it doesn't seem like it, since it's very much a bonus.
It doesn't seem like it, because you've mixed it up well.
It's good. It goes in the same account.
Is that the same for the cinema?
Once you have the money, you don't have more money.
Yes Mike, don't try to make a link.
It's nothing to do with it. It's nice.
No, no, no. It's not the same kind of situation.
As soon as you have your money, you do what you want. No, I shouldn't say that too quickly. I should say that it's time to prove what we propose.
It's a good question. You might think that I present a script and suddenly I have the money, I'll do what I want.
Strictly, yes, but it could be your first and last film too.
But the worst is that they convince people to give you the money too?
Yes. You answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes, you answer to the notes Yes. You answer the notes, you answer the notes, you answer the notes,
you try to please the people who give you the money.
But now, at the level you are, it must be really easier than, let's say, the Ricardo of 95.
Yes, but it's a bit, you have to start over every time,
I have to represent myself in production demand.
You know, you have to think about something.
When we make production demands, we're maybe in between 40 and 60 projects.
If you look at the first 10 names, it's all people you know and who do it in life.
There's no reason to give them a 4.
But it's going to be like that, it's going to end.
So even me, who has done a lot and it has been,
the last project in 1995, I still waited for my turn. They said no but I'm not a big fan of the show. I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show.
I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show. I'm not a big fan of the show, but I'm not a big fan of the show. But even that, we are so, I swear, it's never won before.
Four films that are almost financed.
Sometimes it's, I don't know, too many.
The number of people who want to do that in life, it's not much.
And Quebec-Montréal, was it a private financed production?
Not at all. Everyone thought it wasn't expensive.
This film wasn't the most expensive, but it was still
1.7 million and it looked like a 200,000 film.
But as you turn in cars,
it's really heavy
the way you turn.
1.7 million was more back then.
Yes, and at that time, they made films
1 million and it was still a little bit more.
It was more, but a cheap camera
and it was 88,000.
Let's say compared to an iPhone today...
The iPhone is a better image than what we had in Quebec.
But we had video cameras because we knew that cars would drive.
And we didn't want to stop cars all the time to make stops and record.
In any case, we took a lot of shots.
So for many technical reasons, we all shot it in video with three cameras.
So we had a lot of footage.
I couldn't have done it in 35mm, it would have been too much.
So you filmed in Betacam, then you transferred it?
In MiniDV.
Okay, technology.
It wasn't a very good idea.
The first time we projected it on a big screen, we made a mess.
It wasn't our best move.
But the corners of the team. If you listen to on a 50-inch TV, you'll be fine.
I listened to them again not so long ago.
And it's not the one that looks the best visually.
No, that's for sure.
In the effects.
Even the same year, the effects, we were like...
The video game thing.
Oh my God, it's been a long time.
You have to wait to laugh.
For example, I had seen it in the movies at the time, and I liked the look.
I liked the... What I liked, I think, was that it was good, but it looked like it didn't cost anything.
And we would say, you know, when there's something that looks like it didn't cost much,
and it's as good, I was like, damn, if we gave 1.7 million to this guy,
imagine what he would be able to do!
We'll never know, right?
Did you participate in the writing and creation of this play?
No, not at all. In this case, Pierre-François did it.
At first, it was a stage play, I think.
Yes, but the project, as we started, we did a scenario reading.
It was like a birthday, it was like 15 years old.
We did a scenario reading at the Quebec Cinema's meeting. The whole gang of friends were like,
it would be fun to do this play for real.
We decided to adapt it to the theatre.
Then we contacted the whole gang.
Pierre-François is trying to...
But we didn't change the things.
When I learned this...
It's a film that I listened to four times in my life, but I hadn't seen it in a long time.
I thought I should listen to it again, but I don't want to listen to it. I want to go see the play.
I don't want to see the film in the evening.
No, I don't think so. You think that? For real, there are things that are not said in the movie
but instead of changing it to Jo's taste, it's funny to listen to it with another ear.
The character who is a dickhead, I play the character of Patrobitai,
and I say atrocities, but I think in the past he wasn't listened to the same way back then, but now when people listen to him, they go like, what an idiot you are!
It makes it fun too!
Back then it was just, he's funny!
He's not drunk, he's an idiot!
It's good to have a guy jazzy.
Can I have another McAllobaltrush?
Yes.
I'm trying.
Thank you.
I'll bring it to you right away.
It's funny.
It's funny.
So, what's your next project or your current project?
I'm not saying it because when I work on two or three film sites, before they are well advanced, I don't talk about it because sometimes they fall and I explain why.
So, next question.
No, no, no. No, I don't want to answer. So that's it.
OK.
So you wait all the time until it's official?
I wait until I have... how can I put it in a number?
Let's say a third of the script.
Okay.
Because I already started... the easiest thing to write on the planet is the beginning of something.
The beginning of a film, we have everything, and it starts the same, and you write 12 pages.
You know, the real way to do it is that before writing a film, you're supposed to know your end.
Because it was the end that you said what you had to say.
And you, do you know where you work?
Sometimes I don't even listen to myself.
Because I have too much desire to write.
And you surprise yourself.
I surprise myself or I disappoint myself.
I have two things that I wrote.
I started writing on No Ballo.
And you're like, I lost time with that.
Maybe it happens less in humor.
I wrote a 7-minute number, and it was written.
But it takes an hour and a half to write.
My first half-hour is fun, and then it takes me nowhere.
I'm done. I lost a lot of time.
Did you revisit, let's say, 4 years later, 8 years later,
to see that it was a crisis of good ideas, but you just didn't know...
Well, let's ask the question, that's excellent. I find that sometimes I reread... No!
Don't listen to that, it's not your age. But seriously, I reread stuff I wrote a long time ago, because I have a kind of file with the beginning of films, as I said.
Oh yes, on your desk, on your Mac, there must be some files open.
No, no, no, it's much better organized than that.
No, it's just my desk, on my Mac and...
What I was going to say is that I sometimes forget things I wrote and by saying,
if you get too funny yourself, normally it's my sign, I think it can happen in humor too.
Sometimes you say, ok, it's not a joke, it's a bad joke that you keep talking about all the time. Other times it's funny too. You say, ok, it's not funny. Well, it's bad jokes you're always trying to keep.
Other times it's embarrassing.
Yes, yes, and you shouldn't be afraid of that.
When you pretend to be a creator,
at some point during a...
At some point during a writing process...
I like that you said everything in the microphone.
No, no, let it be.
Take the other one.
My toilet. My toilet. Oh my God, let's do that. Take the other one. My toilet. My toilet.
And so...
Oh my god, that's good.
It's relaxing.
Oh, it's dark, dark.
That's what you wanted to add there?
Ok.
Are you done?
Continue.
Ok.
Are you sure?
Hop.
Oh, you were watching.
So what I was saying to everyone was that at some point, when you write something,
at some point you have to find it good.
And that comes with the fact that you don't find it good either.
But you have to be honest and say, I think it's good.
And then you come to a point where you're writing something and you really find it great. And you say, it's going to be great. And two or three days later you read it again and year, I was writing something and I found myself really excited.
I said, it's going to be hot!
And two or three days later, you read it again and say, my God, it doesn't work at all.
But we go through these phases and it's not hard to say.
Because one year you have to have a form of confidence when you do this job.
If you write and you do it all the time like, it's not good.
You won't be able to go to the bathroom.
I can save money, please.
I don't believe it.
But you guys, it's like a movie.
Let's say a joke is the art form that gets old the least.
Even the best gag, four years later you hear it and you're like,
hey, that's not funny.
When you watch old shows of humor,
especially if you're trying to show an old show of humor to a young person,
you say, hey, look at this, it's funny, it's funny.
And then you listen to a number from the 80s and you're like,
hey, it's funny.
What is that?
The show that gave me the taste to make was Delirious, by Eddie Murphy.
And you listen to it again and you're like, let's see, he was a genius, but if there's nothing that works...
We all... we don't feel the audacity at all. When you started with Eddie Murphy, we didn't feel the audacity because now people say, well, it's not true.
It was super audacious.
It was super interesting.
It's like in music Elvis was the demon.
It's like today, My Teddy Bear, it still goes.
My Teddy Bear, the devil!
It's sick that he was squirming on top of ground, because he was like, look at him, he's moving his knees.
He moves his knees as if he was drilling. Who is drilling anyway?
You tried. But you know... You... Oh yeah! Well, you tried!
Well, you'll tell us how it was, because I...
Guys, we'll make a group of text messages and...
...tomorrow morning.
No, not tomorrow morning actually.
But...
But yeah, that's it, humor gets old very badly, but...
You know, you have to think about...
You know, a joke I'm making right now, in 8 years, nobody will hear it. It's getting old, but you have to think about...
You know, a joke I'm making now, in 8 years, nobody will hear it.
I'm not putting any news in my stuff, I'm just trying to make it as fast as possible.
I'm just saying, it's been going on for years.
But even that, there's something else that's getting old.
Obviously, the rhythm.
And I'm surprised that at the moment, there is no comedy made by two guys of 25 years old who are on a
bit of a tiktok spurt, but at this speed, I wonder how funny the clips are,
full of comedians who have been doing extremely funny stuff for 30 years, it works.
I don't know if it could keep the rhythm for an hour and a half, and what would the result be?
Because we're just talking about it.
I haven't seen a product yet, neither Quebec nor American,
that would suggest what to really inspire this new kind of world.
I think it already exists on social media.
Absolutely, but they never tried to transpose it into a film, you know?
Yeah, well, the jump cut for an hour and a half...
Probably.
...must hurt the heart a little.
I know, but I'm sure you'd show something that's done on TikTok right now to people from...
...from 1985.
They'd look at you too and be like,
we don't understand anything, we don't taste anything, it's going too fast.
But that's what scares me. The attention spam.
Which is made of like,
for not even a second,
it's like to catch
someone's attention on the networks,
it has to be in your first second and a half,
something happens,
otherwise people don't listen to your video.
It's like, my God, it's horrible.
It seems that it's useful to this type of product too.
I don't know, I'm more passionate about it.
Imagine, you can't start your movie on someone walking around,
they're like, he's going to leave the room.
I lock them in.
We get into cinema mode or even TV series mode.
We relax, we don't ask for much, but this is my daughter, she's 18,
and she watches TV with her iPad at the same time.
I'm always like...
Look, they're like, they're concerned about us, they could do this and that, and go...
Wow, yes, but...
He's been watching for two seconds.
Sometimes I'm surprised too.
And I'm like...
I'll tell you, I did it too not long ago.
Listen, listen to a series and you're like...
Oh, what did they say?
And when they shot it, they were like...
People are going to kill it. You turn around, imagine, you turn around in a corner and the other one says,
hey Chris, the shoes are together.
I said, I'm going to go buy that later.
Then you rewind to see if there's really a lack of you.
I have a friend of mine who is an astro,
he tells me that something is really good.
He says, that was so good, I didn't even look at my phone. And then I write, I'm going to look at it. That's the...
the...
the top push of 2025.
Sometimes we look at our phone,
I realize that sometimes I look at things
that I'm not interested in, but that make me dive into the vortex.
In my algorithm,
I have people who clean up
cow's feces.
I have that,
I have snakes that I cow's feces. I have it.
Ok.
Ok.
I have that.
I have snakes fighting other snakes.
Oh yeah?
You're going to embarrass me.
Snakes, cow's feces, I've seen 23 of them.
Oh Chris, it's dripping.
It's dripping.
It's sick.
Do you have cow's feces?
No, I've never seen that.
Well, let's see what you do.
My guy, you're missing. I've seen it in of meat? No, I never had that. You're missing out.
Really?
He's got a carpet too.
That, a carpet?
No!
The video is like, he'll never be clean.
That carpet.
Wink, wink, blink, blink, blink.
What's going to happen to us?
It was Hello Kitty all the time.
It's funny. Oh, you're... What happened to us? It was Hello Kitty all the time.
Japanese people who make teapots.
They bring a big pile of clay. What are you going to do with that?
There's a little music.
Oh my god, it's so funny.
Seriously, the soap, I don't want to talk about it to anyone. It's a I would tell you openly if somewhere I had this... But no! There is something dangerous going on too, I don't know if you... You have friends with sabots!
Brim brim patapim...
Cappuccino!
What is it?
What is that?
Ballorina cappuccino!
What is it?
That's scary and...
Well, pickpocket! Are you listening to pickpocket?
What is pickpocket?
Come on, Mrs. Montellic is... Pickpocket! Yes, yes, yes! Yes, you're Do you listen to Pickpocket? What's Pickpocket?
The lady told me that it's Pickpocket!
Yes, yes, yes!
There's also the dog, King Charles.
Ok, I'm alone now.
Oh no!
No, but we can't draw the line.
A priest in the big...
Ok, that's enough.
Ok, we can start again.
I have no reference.
I feel so lucky.
I feel like my father trying to look at his emails.
What we want to say is that all this is a waste of time.
We'll have to get through this in a year.
It's on the side of having to give an intervention. In fact, what we want to say is that all of this is a waste of time and we'll have to get through it in a year, I think.
Oh, but it's on the edge of having to give an intervention.
I don't even deny it. You have to suck something.
It's really like... it's completely an addiction.
It's the first thing we do when we get up, it's the last thing we do when we go to bed.
Sometimes you're in a soup and you're like, I'm really going to smoke my club.
You're like,
OK, brim brim, badafim, OK.
I feel better, I feel more relaxed.
Bombardillo, crocadillo.
I don't know.
It's like...
It's a mix of things.
And it's a gentleman in Italian who says that. It's pictures mix of business. And it's an Italian gentleman who says that. It's artificial intelligence images.
Even if you're healthy and well-off,
do you have an Instagram account?
Do you have something?
I'm pretty much a Tiktok user, but not that.
I'm just someone who makes recipes.
I have a lot of people who wash carpets.
You see, it's starting. I can without anything. Go on, what else?
No, I have...
Go on, what else?
I have...
No, what else?
I have...
Well, I'll watch.
If I go...
It's just going to be a bunch of women.
Oh no, see?
A man who makes a recipe, an old man who makes a recipe,
a girl who makes stand-up, the alpha mall in Tampa Bay,
a guy who fish, A kid who plays piano.
Another death at the end.
I have a lot of false Rolex ads.
They know their audience.
I think the reason is that even on Facebook,
every time I saw them, I clicked on them and I denounced them.
And I was like, it's not a real Rolex. I sent a message.
So there, TikTok, we're in trouble, they keep commenting, they're banned, well, they keep on talking.
So there, it's just fake Rolex ads. I'm so disgusted by that. Imagine you're walking into the shop and they sell some really nice boots.
And you're like, ok, I'll buy them.
And then you're like, you only have ads for these boots.
I bought them!
When we're done, you'll be like, I'm not going to buy them again!
It's like you're in a shopping mall and the guy sells boots.
You want some boots, I want them.
And then you run out and he's like...
You're stealing my boots.
You're in another park.
Yeah.
Come to my place, I have some.
But one night I was drinking,
I bought myself a leather coat.
It cost 34$.
So you go... I had a beer, I bought a leather coat. It cost 34$.
HAHAHA!
That's...
I had a beer, I was in a good mood.
I had a good feeling.
I did a Cristi de Bocaute.
34$, I said it's not very expensive.
But he said, at worst, it's not super.
So I bought it.
I bought it, of course, I forgot. I forgot that. It's not super funny. So I bought it. I bought it, of course, I forgot.
I forgot that.
It's always Chinese. I took XXXL.
Chris, one year you said...
Normally XL is correct, 2XL should be enough.
And I forgot that I ordered that, of course.
Sometimes I sent it to the advertising office where I work.
He called me a month and a half later.
Hey, we received something for you.
He opens it. They say, it looks like a trident.
I get there, man.
It's heavy.
Hey, it's terrible what it smelled like.
It smells like insecticide.
I was like, holy shit.
And I never really managed to take it off.
It's so crumpled.
Okay.
No, but what I mean is that you have a very bad leather.
If you see that, I wasn't like that.
Even for a very long time, it was a little thin.
But I opened it and I didn't go inside.
The center, that's what made me...
In any case, I would say that below 75,
leather coat...
There's a leather coat on the Internet too.
When you buy a leather coat on TikTok, you're easily influenced by sand.
No!
I'm made for a leather coat.
No, I didn't need it. I drank it. I said it at the beginning.
It makes you a little more vulnerable, I think.
Are you the kind of person who does a lot of purchases a little hot?
No, that's it.
I think I know what you're going to tell me.
We should have a kind of...
No, no, no, no, no.
I didn't mean that.
I don't have any judgment.
Mike is like, no, no, don't do that.
But...
You're going to buy a coat for $5.
We can scroll down from time to time.
I bought some.
Yes, I had a But... I bought some...
Yes, I bought some more at one point, and now I'm a bit pissed.
What's fun about opening something you ordered and you don't know what it is?
Because it's a surprise from someone who knows your tastes.
You're like, I wanted to know how you made that green thing. Like in the How did you know?
I ordered once the doll and the rocket of the man of six million
No no, but I'm kidding
It says you the man of six million
It says nothing, you
It's a character
It's almost a superhero
Calm down
You know the doll is super surprised to see you.
And...
Yeah!
But the worst, in the past...
The man of six million...
The name was...
You know, in the millionaires' time, it was like...
Hey, you're a millionaire, if you wanted...
You know, if you wanted, you could buy a million Canadian people.
But six million, we didn't know the word billion back then.
Six million, he's the richest man in the world.
I opened the... I'm the one who ordered it.
He was a superhero, he had something with a mount.
He was bionic. That's the important point in the story with the poor guy.
He had something with a mount.
No, he was bionic.
That's it.
He had the time.
No, he had powers.
Because...
What was he doing with his...
No, that's the blood pressure.
No, the doll where you could open it and there was
a kind of thing you put in there and a little
rocket.
Anyway, that's all to say that I received
that by mail, like in 2015.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm say that I received this by mail in 2015.
Let's not go there, let's finish this.
I received this by mail in 2015 and it took me a little while to realize that it was myself who ordered it.
But you must be happy to have it.
Yes, I went to laugh, but then I said, how can I receive this?
Because seriously, you know, you think that when you're young,
it would be fun to have a doll, but it's not fun.
I didn't really play with it.
You know, earlier, I was alone in my world.
Your turn, Rick.
You know, sometimes you say it would be fun to have a doll.
No!
It didn't happen this year for me.
No. It didn't happen this year for me.
But we, our generation,
there were all the first years of G.I. Joe.
I was in my early years, I was in charge of that,
a doll of Andre the Giant, Jean Ferré.
Stop saying doll.
A mascot.
A figurine.
No, figurine is too small.
A doll is the right word.
If you have a good man, he's like...
A good man?
Yes, a good man.
In English, he says dog.
In English, it's dog.
It's action figure.
Oh, Christ.
So, it's a figure?
Yes.
Stop buying dolls.
It's special.
I had it, the man of six million.
We could look in his head. Oh, yes, we could with 6 million. We could look in his head, there was a...
Oh yes! We could see it through...
I was looking in his asthi! I had it too!
That's a good intervention.
You bastard, Yann!
One chance you're there to bring us back to asthi.
And what did you see? You just saw...
You saw a little loop inside...
In his head, there was a little loop. You could see a little magnifying glass in the front. In his head, there was a little magnifying glass.
You could see the other side, but there was a kind of mirror.
So when you looked, you could see the mirror, but you could see the other side.
It never worked, but it was a feature.
This figurine.
Where did you buy that?
Did you buy that? On the marketplace sites, but at the time it was supposed to be on eBay.
I also had some little stores on eBay.
I thought eBay was going to be the future.
When Amazon arrived, I thought it was a little bit of a waste compared to eBay.
eBay is a auction and it never worked.
So call this an auction. eBay is a auction and it never worked. Their auction booths, you know.
You're like, wow, this car is just two dollars.
You put two dollars and they don't reserve it.
And you have this little car.
I had bought a Sab on eBay.
Wow!
What year?
A...
2009, approximately.
Okay. Yeah, I received it. A Sab? Who? Yeah, I got it.
A saber?
Yeah, I got it.
I had to go.
I got it at Fort Lauderdale.
I got it at Fort Lauderdale.
It's a good detail in history.
Yeah, yeah.
So I had to go down to Fort Lauderdale to get my car.
Did you drive a long time?
I drove a long time.
I loved it, but I didn't have a garage in our country.
And the roof was leaking.
So I kept it for 5 hours.
It's a Swedish car.
It's a Swedish car that looks like a BMW.
It's like a cheap BMW made by the world that should make tables.
You know...
And then you bought it and he's like, hey, your Ford is out of the world, you went?
Yeah, but I knew I had to go get it.
But I didn't have the idea.
You were on a plane and you came back to the sand?
Yeah, I went and I came back to the sand. Oh, but I didn't have the money. You were on a plane and you came back in a sand bag?
Yes, I went and I came back in a sand bag.
Oh good!
Would you like to use that?
No.
Ok.
I had a...
You lack a lot of enthusiasm.
I don't like dolls, I don't like seeing them.
I didn't say I didn't like dolls.
I said stop saying you buy dolls.
I had some Jaijo dolls. I didn't play with dolls, I played with Jaijo.
My parents were really worried, we took trashy ties and we hung our Jaijo.
Oh, yeah?
We did a big staging and we went to get our parents, we were like, come, come, come!
They would wake up, come, come! And then he woke up and he was like, ah!
Was that the good years of Al Qaeda? What year was that?
No, when I was young...
Yeah, but when you were young, not that long ago...
Yeah, 6-7 years old.
What were you saying?
That's what's going to happen if I'm not a PS3 player!
No, I think I was very proud.
I was like, look at all the great staging I created.
Yeah.
I had already burned my sister's Barbie hair.
Okay.
In a lamp.
That, for example, I think there are a lot of little guys who do that.
I know I saw the documentary on Rocco Magnata.
And he had done that too, I think.
It's going to be hard to go back up.
Don't fuck with cats, don't fuck with dolls.
That's not true. I don't remember burning a doll's hair,
but I often cut my hair when I saw a doll.
If there were scissors, I would cut it off. I didn't like hair or I didn't know what I liked.
I don't know what you think either. It's quite offensive.
No, it's really offensive.
My sisters had dolls that scared me. There were dolls that when you were sleeping, they closed their eyes,
and when they were standing, they opened their eyes.
I had that one.
The transition wasn't smooth.
After a year!
And when I wasn't sleeping in the wardrobe,
she was just sitting there and she was the same.
So she had...
She had...
She had a doll, a kind of alien doll, and she talked, but when she wanted...
Oh!
Ah! It wasn't even a python!
It wasn't a python, it was like...
What did she say? Go hang the radio!
No, it's like...
What is this?
Yeah! And then she said like, hmm, I'd eat a lot of flowers.
And one day, this doll, out of the blue, had given birth.
Yes, she was like...
I lost my baby.
It wasn't a fake birth.
You talk about a doll and then one morning there's another doll next to you and you don't ask yourself a question?
It was like there was an extraterrestrial and his belly was open, there was an egg inside and there was a small version of the doll inside.
Oh my God, okay, okay.
How much did that doll cost?
34$!
How?
Same price as a nice piece of leather, that's correct.
It smelled weird when I got out of the box.
Yeah, there were some nice toys.
It's funny.
When I was little, I wanted a cart.
The first years that I had...
A saber.
Yeah, no, but...
You know, it was the first years.
After that, there were plenty of them.
Like your generation, there were Cadillacs and all that.
But the first time I saw a little truck for children, I wanted that, but I went, you know, it was for children of 4 years old,
and I was like, yeah, 14, 15, and I was like, that's cool, you know.
I think, you know, I had a job, you know, I could have, technically think I could have bought it.
I think it's still the coolest toy you can offer today.
I think it's the only toy that's not out of style.
In the past, you had a little child's shirt that you would press on the pedal and it would go forward.
You still give that today and it's still the best gift you can offer.
It's gotten more expensive now.
34?
I bought a small horse on TikTok.
I have to go get it from Fort Lauderdale.
No, but it's for children, it's not for me.
But it's a kind of horse that when you a horse, there are wheels and it moves forward.
Yes, but that's what we were young about, the kind of green that I have.
Yes, but there are wheels and it moves forward and it looks really sick when you watch it on TikTok or YouTube, but live it's not as fun as that. Yeah, because there's no music.
And it leaves black marks on the floor.
So it's perfect.
And you buy a lot of niaiseries too.
But I haven't bought anything on Amazon for a long time,
but for a while it was really problematic.
It didn't make any sense.
I never bought anything that made me happy.
The last time I bought it, it was like a stone bath mat.
OK.
It was fun for you, right?
Yeah, that's it. I didn't learn it.
Why did you buy a stone bath mat?
You were looking at taxi drivers and you were like,
I'd like that in my bath.
the taxi drivers and you were like, I'd like that in my car. You know, so you have balls behind you?
What?
But your...
Ok, sorry!
Your rug, oh yeah, your rug outside the bathroom.
I thought you had a rug in your back, like taxi drivers with a
business crisis, with girls...
I didn't understand.
You just removed the bathroom information.
Yes, yes.
No...
Hey, but a bathroom mat in a stone...
When you shower, it must absorb water.
Yes.
You know, there's nothing that absorbs water better than a stone.
I can't explain why, but yes. You know, there's nothing that absorbs better water than a stone.
I can't explain why, but yes. But the thing is, the water just goes between the stones and it stays...
No, it's in rocks.
It's not a rock, my boy.
Yes.
Well no, it's in cedar or whatever, you see.
I'm sad, it's in rocks.
Go get it, go get it, old man.
No, but I'm telling you, it's a hard bath mat that absorbs water.
How much does it weigh?
I don't know.
Does it hold with one hand?
No. You have to be strong with one hand.
It's not a mat, it's rock.
It's a small layer of rock that absorbs water.
And like a shower mat, let's say it stinks, it needs to be washed.
It's full of water and it doesn't evaporate.
Now it's all in the rock.
Now you see, I'm back to what you were telling me.
You're all alone in your world.
You know what it is?
A shower mat in the rock.
How do you clean it?
If you rinse it.
You don't clean it, you rinse it. You don't clean it, it's in rock! Yeah, but...
No, we never clean that, rock!
It gets washed by itself, it's like a cat.
That's why I bought the rock-bottom carpet, because I didn't want to wash it.
And it's autonomous.
It works well!
It's your heart, huh?
Oh yeah.
Finally, you're happy to have bought that.
In fact, it's the most beautiful toy I've ever bought.
You've very badly opened your story.
The worst?
I don't understand how it works.
I don't want that, but I'll order one.
Just to try to understand.
Hey, Yann, do you have any questions?
Yes, I have a few questions.
Perfect.
About the toilet mat, for example, we'll start...
I'd like another glass of...
I'm going to be tricked.
I thought you were making a cheers to Yann.
It was disgusting.
And I'll take another one of my Colobolture, and maybe 3-4 ice creams.
It's flat and disgusting.
Pierre-Luc, you played Godas in the series L'Appel.
Yes.
Did people from that field that you contacted?
The motorists?
Yes, he received a rug in a rush and didn't turn it on.
He thinks it's a gift.
That's really funny!
He didn't forget!
I can't wait to see how it's going to end.
No, nobody contacted me.
He's out of prison, you know, gaudace.
So I thought, maybe he saw it.
He definitely saw it.
What did he think?
We're waiting for his messages on the courier.
But no, that's it.
Nobody contacted me. There are policemen with whom we did business
who told me, like,
who told me stories about him,
who told me how he was and all that, but I didn't have to represent him.
Did anyone do like,
Oh, you're brave.
Or, you know, when you talked about him,
it was just to help you
in your game.
It was more to help me, but I admit that there was a part of me that was like,
I hope he will like Siri.
Imagine that he doesn't like how we portray him.
It's a shame.
You will take a little time to explain it.
Yes, that's it.
It's worth the effort.
If it's not the same, I would have said it.
It's a shame. If it wasn't the same, I would have said it! Yeah! Ah! Too bad!
Well, Yann, other question.
Well, there's a lot of people asking about Ricardo,
695 was the last one in the show.
I don't know, it's possible, but I have an idea for another one.
I'm just waiting for my own opinion.
Did you see what you had? No, but I was thinking about that. I have an idea for another one. I'm just waiting for my carpet to get wet.
I'm thinking about it.
Now, you have four.
Yes, that's right.
I saw the most absurd sentence in an article that talked about your films.
He called it the trilogy, but he put the four films in it and I was like,
I think when there are four, it's not a trilogy.
No, it's called Tetralogy, but it's beautiful that we use it rarely.
We don't want to say that.
Yeah, it doesn't sound good.
I'm going to talk about my Tetralogy.
It looks like an illness that hurts.
You're like, oh, I have a brother who's dead from this.
It's running in the family.
It's terrible.
At the beginning it scratches, it scratches and then it kills.
But 5 would be a nice number.
Maybe. I don't know.
I didn't put any law on it.
To end with 4 is weird, right?
Yes, I agree.
Maybe 6 and end with 6.
I don't know. I'll see. tetralogy? Maybe you should do the sixth and finish with the sixth. I don't know, I'll see.
Five, what is it?
Five films.
A quay, a corner, a quay, I don't know.
A corner, a corner.
It's a quay-quay-ry.
It might not be far from that, but it's not exactly that, but I don't know.
It's a quay-quay-ry, that's good.
I wanted to make a quay-quay-ry.
I'm tired.
I wanted to make five films, but I ended up buying tools.
You'll see the film, all the time it's just the ad, Mike at Rona's house.
And you're like, oh my god, it's so nice to see, Resty.
You have to watch your 5th movie.
There's another question. There's a lot of people asking you,
in the whole series,
which one is your favorite?
Me?
Me?
No, Mike!
I...
87.
The most fun to do is... 87. The most fun to do is... 87. The first one is my favorite, insofar as the one where I brought the characters for the
first time and everything.
So there was a big challenge in it.
But 87.
It was fun anyway.
But 87, I told my producer I was going to make another one, but he was going to be more
stubborn than the first one, and it became 87.
And it's pretty much him who gets the most, I think.
Yes. I have a lot of friends of 13, 14 years old because of that. I was more of a snob than the first one and it became in 1987 and it's pretty much him who gets the most I think.
I have a lot of friends of 13-14 years old because of that.
But I also have dolls so all of that...
The two in my room, it's very special.
Listen, I don't look into it.
Hey, I remember you told me that my character in 1987, you had done the race around the world with...
He had done it two years before me.
That's it. Anyway, I didn't know that detail so when I knew you were making the film about the race around the world, I was like...
Yes!
I'm going to be...
You should have called me, I would have told you straight away.
You're right, I was embarrassed.
I was taking a shower, I was dressed.
It's so hard!
It's so hard! It was the first time I saw Sandrine in your films.
You received Sandrine here?
Yes, yes. And what did she do before that? Where did you see her?
Sandrine was in my auditions, so she. She was the one who did several characters.
I did the replicas and in 1981 she did that too.
I remember well, when we heard her, we thought we should try her too.
She's really not worse.
So it's the same?
Yes, I'm sure it's 90% because I don't remember.
I know I met her that year.
It was my casting director who made me meet Sandrine and everything.
So she came to the audition and I remember we were like, wow, it's great.
While you were auditioning for Ricardo, you were like,
it's good honestly, the one who does the audition.
Well yes, but it happens sometimes.
It's good.
Yes, frankly.
Very strong.
Yes.
There is still something we can do.
It's... Five, Five is pantology.
Pantology?
Change that for King Gary.
Like Pentagon.
Six is how many?
Six is exalogy, seven is ephthalogy, eight is octalogy, nine is enalogy.
A enalogy.
Six is what? Because 11 is police academy.
You know, it's decalogy and one is monology.
Monology.
You have to be a nasty, shitty, shitty to do that.
I'm going to talk about my monology.
I wanted to create a monology!
Oh my god!
I guess it's for Pierre-Luc, but maybe also Ricardo, since Jojo is on the screen.
Have you ever refused a role that has become a big, big success?
I think it was you who caught me if you can and said no. Another big success. I think it was you who said catch me if you can and you said no.
Yeah, well...
Another big word.
When we're going to make Louis Syre...
I decided to go for personal reasons.
Seriously, did you say hi?
To refuse... No.
Well, at the same time, you know...
No, to refuse a role that has become mythical, let's say...
No.
I think, Gas, that we should maybe clarify to the person who asks the question,
and it's not even pejorative, it's rare in Quebec that we refuse a role, I think,
in the market where we are. We really have to...
Well, in fact, it happened to me to refuse roles, but you know...
For more roles, I did...
But it's not big roles.
I'm more often...
You know, serious mistakes, like when it comes to stage, I think if I understand the question...
Yeah, I don't have a name for Breaking Bad.
That's it.
I'm not on the side of something, but...
But it's already happened to me to do...
My God, I don't think it's going to work, and indeed...
It's happened to you, I think it's going to work,'t think it's going to work? Did you ever think, I don't think it's going to work?
No?
Yes, yes.
What's the technique?
Imagine someone sends you a hit of a role,
for a series or a movie, and it sucks.
Do you tell your agent,
what the fuck is this month? Or do you ask for a crazy price or a mix of the two?
There is always the rule of the three, no matter.
Pleasure, profit, passion.
There is the project, people and money. No matter.
I knew it was the three P's.
I would have enjoyed it.
Profit and go to the top.
Project.
When money is part of it,
you can ask for a bigger salary,
and if it doesn't go to the worst, you don't do it.
But it already happened.
You make one because there's only two.
You know, at one point, it's like...
It's not like it was raining...
No, but it's on us.
The projects on us, and I'm like, no!
You know, I mean, maybe they make one film,
they make 12 million, it's like,
what am I doing in February?
Well, we're paying nothing, you know.
We're not paying anything.
Yeah, people forget... Yeah, that's it, people forget that... Even the...
What is it?
A fruit mouth?
Yeah, that's it.
There are fruits?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, tabarnak, huh?
Yeah, that's it.
It comes from afar like there's a string of lemmissettes, if I can't believe it.
It's hungry.
I have sweet tooth.
But the worst thing is that every time we put on some I can't believe it. At the end... I have a sweet tooth.
But the worst thing is that every time we put
some limes, it's just to make sure the mosquitoes don't get in.
And every time, you're like,
we don't need that in Quebec, but now,
clearly, yes.
Oh yeah, that's the thing for real?
It's really just that.
It's just so that the mosquitoes don't get in your mouth.
It's not for a grimy taste.
No. No. Oh yeah, that's the thing for real? It's really just that. It's just so that... It's in the South, so that flies don't get in your mouth.
It's not for a grimy taste.
No.
No.
My God, you're naive!
It's just to be sure.
It's the poor version of putting on a hood.
It's...
But why don't they leave the hood?
Well, because it's more beautiful than that, you know?
You feel like...
And also, if you leave the hood,
the server goes away and you break it,
it's a table or...
I don't know how you do it, open it...
You can't break a table with a file.
Yeah, that's it. Exactly.
Yeah, that's it.
I think you've made your turn.
Religion.
So, Yann, what was the question? Did he answer the question?
Yes, he answered the question.
Michael asks, Ricardo, have you ever experienced a travel anecdote that you couldn't put in the film because it was too heavy?
Oh...
Not really...
Well, not really. I'll tell you in a minute, but I don't know if it's telling the story or if it's really funny.
But during the race, I've got a little bit of a No, I think that since we are runners, at the beginning of the 20s, we are 8 each year,
so we were about a hundred to do this show,
the idea of sexual aggression goes through your head,
especially when you are a girl and you participate in it.
But I lived through it, and at a different time.
I was in Tunisia, and there is a guy, how would I explain this?
He says, it would be fun to go to the desert.
There was an oasis.
I didn't see anything romantic in there.
I thought we were going to shoot some stuff.
Because I was with friends.
We were making music.
They take me to the desert.
They take me to the desert.
I'm the one who pays the bill.
We rent it.
We get there and there's people around the fire.
It takes me about 20 minutes to realize that we're just guys.
I don't know how to do this.
And...
Hey! There's a guy who's just a man. You were right. I realized we were just guys. I don't know how I'm going to do this. And...
Hey!
There's a guy who plays tam-tam.
And I find him funny, the guy who plays tam-tam.
He's about 100 years old.
And I said, he's very old.
He's 100 years old and he's 100 years old.
I'm very happy to be here.
And I watch him a lot.
And one day the guy says, stop watching.
It's here that I'm a little jealous. I'm like, it's cute, oh, it's cute, we're in the same room, it's pretty hot, and I'm in the desert, and he's jealous, I have something to talk about.
And then I'm like, well, now you have to go, and he says to me, turn here, blah blah blah, we're three quarters in the room, but it's quick, we're two, and then he tries to kiss me.
But understand me, if it's two, he should do a little bit smaller.
Smaller?
Yes.
But on top of that, in defense of the gentleman, if his chum is the guy with a dand in his mouth,
he sees you with your beautiful teeth, it's impossible to resist.
But he tried quickly or what? He tried to kiss me quickly or what?
He tried to kiss me twice because the first time I didn't believe it.
While you were driving?
No, we stopped at the oasis because I don't know why I said yes.
I said, yes, we're going to go watch the waterfall.
And the more I did, the more I was like, it looks like you're saying yes to things I shouldn't have.
But I repeat, it wasn't clear.
He tried to kiss me twice and I said, hey, no, we don't do that.
Anyway. He said, sorry, here. I said, I know, no, we don't do that. Anyway.
He said, sorry, I know, but sorry, it won't happen.
So we left, I was going to carry him, and I was driving in the car, he didn't talk.
And when I called Radio Canada to tell my sexual assault, it was another time,
they laughed at me now.
They started laughing, then I called Radio Canada and said,
there's a guy who sent you flowers, where were you sent?
And he didn't stop being gay.
You're the only victim of sexual harassment who lifts up a guy afterwards.
Yes, yes.
Definitely not.
Stop complaining, because the police would have said, do you know where he is?
Yes.
I have his address.
Bring him to my GPS.
But Ricardo, how did you get out of there?
Well, I tried the good old, hey!
It's going to do!
We don't do that!
And it was over.
So it was my too hard story to put in a movie.
It's Ben too hard. He was jealous and hard story to put in a movie.
It's Ben too hard.
He was jealous and he tried to kiss me and I said no.
Yeah, he doesn't do that.
I told you that the bath mat was not worse.
I told you.
Do you want to go to the oasis?
Yes.
Listen, it's not all sexual assaults that end badly.
What do I mean?
Some end better.
Let's enjoy ourselves.
Do you have any other questions about sex?
It's not bad in the last one.
Why SNL, it's for Pierre-Luc, I guess, why SNL Quebec didn't continue? Oh, that was really the transition I made between acting as a young actor and...
Finally, as an adult.
Adult, it was SNL Quebec, one of the most fun shows I've ever done in my life.
But it was a bit of an impossible mission, SNL Quebec.
We were in Télé-Québec, they had bought the rights to SNL,
and we had done the show, and it had to make 800,000 of listening codes
in Télé-Québec, so that it would be profitable.
What is the record of Télé-Québec? 11,000?
With Cinecadou?
No, but 800,000 in Télé-Québec, it's impossible.
It's impossible, we didn't reach the numbers.
Gang of losers.
But for real, it was so much fun, I would have continued doing that.
It was one of the most fun trips I've ever done in my life.
And after that, they wanted to bring it back to Radio Cannes,
but without it being a SNL to not pay the rights.
It's like, it's either we
do it or we don't do it.
But I remember when the thing came out that I liked, I thought there was a turning point
for humor on TV. It's that often sketch shows, you feel that they try to be popular,
and SNL, what I liked, is that you try to be funny.
And I, someone who does a sketch to make people laugh,
when it doesn't work, I'm like, look, it's not all a stroke of luck, I accept it.
But when I see a sketch that I feel that everyone wants to please everyone,
it hits me in the face.
And you don't fall for it.
But I don't remember who I told that to in the pro team.
I sent them an email and I said,
I really like it.
So it's for sure it won't work.
Because I'm not the public of TV.
If I like it...
It's not a good sign.
It's not a good sign. But it was quality. I think it's quality.
It was crazy to be on the set, to do live sketches. Even the technicians who
are getting drunk from one bar and from the other. You're editing the sketch, you're
changing your wig while the others are doing a sketch. You're like on TV
right now, you're getting your make-up done, you're a good man. And then you
come running. It was really exceptional.
Do you feel like a show from high school?
Yes! But you know that feeling...
Exactly! You're in high school,
and you're like, this is the most beautiful moment of my life!
There was a bit of that.
We were finishing the show, and we were screaming.
We were like, yeah, we did it!
You're live in 10, 9, you're like, what the hell?
We're going to be on TV in 9 seconds.
Did you ever forget that it was live?
No, because there was some audience, and I'm aware of the present moment.
Thanks to therapy.
I never fell like...
I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
It would be funny if sometimes you were like, cut!
I'll take that one again.
No, you knew it in esthy that you were in pain.
And the pain of the fall too.
Me, Antoine Bertrand had put a finger in the ass.
Oh yeah? My aggression is worse than yours.
Oh yeah, yeah.
You have to say it.
Chit-chat!
Hey!
We don't do that!
No, because we were live.
But it's really not an aggression.
And there are people who wrote to me, like, what you did, it's not done, you see?
Help to carry complaints.
I was like, no, I don't want to carry complaints.
We laughed, it was funny.
But Anton was one of those who had a problem with that.
I was dead in a sketch, he broke my neck because he was doing a masseuse.
And I'm dead.
It's stuck in the door in the sketch.
And then he's supposed to go answer the door.
And then I'm dead and he's like, no, no, no, no.
And then it's like...
And then he's like, a moment!
And then I'm like, hmm, that's not in the sketch.
Ooh!
And he goes...
Oh no, no, no, no!
And he doesn't forget the masks.
And he goes...
Oh no, no!
And I have a tiny napkin.
And the manet, I'm like...
Hmm, this hand goes down at a dangerous speed.
Oh no, no, no!
And the manet goes...
He went back to the second phalanx. Listen... Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, was just like, dead, pitchy at the bottom of the...
I was scared, I was like, well, that's for sure we'll see my ass live on TV Quebec.
You went from actor to child to get fissed live on TV.
What a beautiful transition!
After the show, he just just whispering in your ear,
You've made a man!
Thank you so much guys!
Thank you!
Quebec Montréal, the play, starts on the 14th, 18th of August.
14th of August, I think.
14th of August, where do we buy the tickets?
Quebec, Montréal, Théâtre, Biela.
Ok!
Do a Google search!
Do your part, you bastard!
Thank you everyone!
Bye, thank you very much! Yeah! you
