I hope you are having a great Wednesday morning. Hopefully the week's cruising along for you. What a wild game. But while I'm recording this, let's just see. Every time I check the score, it seems to blow. bloody well change. It is currently, it was six three. It is six three here in the second period.

It seems every time you look away, the score is just going everywhere. Both Goldies pulled, Jiminy Corrects. Anyways, today is a fun little episode we got going on. I have to correct myself, though. I had said that the Comedy Night in Hillmond was going to be, this Saturday, and I'm not even paying attention, it's June 11th, it's next Saturday, and you can purchase tickets through Eventbright.com, just type in Hillmont Arena, Comedy, and

Steak Night, and it's brought to you by Crudemaster, of course, a supporter of the Hillmont community and a supporter of the podcast, so a nice little synergy there, super cool. Today's episode sponsor is the Deer and Steer Butchery. Of course, it's the old Norman and Kathy James family built butcher shop on the north side of Highway 16 and Range Road 25. Now it's been renovated, fully and they're doing something really cool that I guess I don't know this for sure but I haven't heard of anyone else offering this so I got to I got a half of a steer or from them and I went out and helped do all the meat work and I thought that was you know like that experience is super cool and super unique and I'm you know I'm not sitting here saying I would go do it again tomorrow

But I do think I'll probably do it every year when I get my meat because now it's weird. How can you explain it other than when you cut up your own steak, Ashley off the bone, and have guidance there? I mean, they got Barry there. He's got 20 years of experience. He's going to make sure you do it properly and you get the meat set up the right way and everything else. I just thought it was a really cool experience. It took one day and got to learn some things and experience how, you know, your meat gets from the butcher shop to your plate.

So if you're interested in getting into the butcher shop, do a little cutting up everything else. Give him a call 780870-8700. Gartner management, I was talking with Wade earlier this week. He's got some open spots in the building, whether you're a guy like me looking for a little 12 by 12 single room or maybe you got multiple employees. He can hook you up with that as well.

And I can certainly attest he's been fantastic. Give way to call 780808, 5025, and if you're heading in any of these businesses, let them know you heard about it from the podcast, right? Now on that RAM truck rundown brought to you by auto-clearing Jeep and RAM, the Prairie's trusted source for Chrysler, Dodge Jeep, Ram, Fiat, and all things automotive for over 110 years. Two comedians are part of MCP talent agency at a Saskatoon. I'm talking about Miles Mortison and Jody Peters, so buckle up, here we go.

Well, welcome to the Sean Newman podcast. today I'm joined by Miles Morrison and Jody Peters. So first off, fellas, thanks for taking your eyes off the TV. We scheduled this horrendously, but hey, we're going to do it anyways. So thanks for off and on. Yeah, thanks for having us. I'm wrong, man. I mean, I was just saying to you, the Oilers for the listener, you know, when this airs tomorrow, win or lose, we were just at the end of the first period, and that is a horrific offside call. And you boys don't even know what I'm talking about because I'm swearing at the TV

and everything else. Anyways, it's cool to have you, boys. on. I appreciate it. I'm rambling here because I'm a little distraught over the goal. But anyways, you boys are coming to my hometown, Helmand, for a comedy show this Saturday. And I thought, you know, with my brother helping putting it on, I just like, geez, let's have the boys on. I remember Miles when you first came to Helmand years and years and years ago. And Jody, I actually, I feel like I've seen you perform or seen videos of you in today's social media. Who knows anymore? But I thought maybe for the listener, we'd start with Miles, then Jody, you guys can give a little bit of your background. So they kind of get a feel for who

they're listening to. I'm up first. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, my name is Miles. I've been a stand-up comedian for 15 years now. And I, yeah, I don't know. What do you want to know? I've been doing it a long time. I've been every... Yeah, where are you originally from, Miles? I started in Saskatoon. I've moved around a bit. I was in Vancouver. Los Angeles and Toronto, and just moved back home to Saskatoon 10 years ago and still at her. Well, here's a question for you. What made you want to get up on the stage and start speaking? Was it a bet? Was it a dare? Or was it something that like, you know, you grew up watching

Jim Carrey or something. I was like, you know what? I want to see if I can perform in front of a live audience and get heckled and everything else that comes with it. It was I heard George Carlin's class clown album when I was 11 years old. And he gets an auditorium of like 12 or yeah, 1,300 people all pop their cheek at the same time is the most amazing thing I've ever heard. And the second I heard it, my brain just changed. And I was like, well, I have to do that now. So that was legitimately why I wanted to do it. And then, uh, I must control the mass. Yeah. And, uh, yeah. And, uh, yeah. And then I, I got on stage, I think, when I was 20 and haven't stopped since.

Have you got a group of people to pop their cheek at the same time? No, I haven't. I made it be hacky to steal somebody's fit, so I got to come up with my own version. I don't know what that would be. You haven't figured that out yet? And, like, you know, I feed them all laxatives at the same time. Fort dating apart amongst even 100 people. That is really hard.

It would be pretty cool. That's good. It's in time. Where did you do your, where did you do your first show at? Me? Yeah. I did it in Saskatoon at the patch, which is now torn down, just to show my age. And it was a kick-ass bar.

Yeah. Just to show my age. And yeah, it was, it went good enough to do it again. And my next two went okay. And then I bombed for a couple of years after that. A couple years? Yeah, well, on and off for sure, yeah. That's probably the better question to ask is like your first show you walked on and bombed.

Like it was bad. It wasn't good. We just, you know, we were a joke around and we should probably tell the story of Holman and the guy just being done because I think for a lot of people around here, they'd be like, I remember that show. I was at the show. But before we get there. That show is insane.

Like we, it was me. I won't say the comics name. Sure. For the listener, Miles, the show we're talking about is he's coming back to Hillmon. And years ago, the senior team brought you in for our year-end banquet. So there was, I don't know, 100 people in the small Hillmont Hall. And Miles was there emceeing and performing and then two other comedians. Anyways, carry on.

Yeah. And so Scott Dumas was the headliner that night. Super funny guy from Canmore. And there was a comic from Calgary. and I can't remember was I am seeing I don't even remember now you're emceeing okay so I go up and the crowd likes me and the jokes will over well and then I bring up this guy who I've never met before and he goes up and eats it so hard that he bombs worse than I've ever seen a bomb in my entire life and uh I I talked to a comic uh just recently who who still is in touch with him and he said that

after that night, he legitimately quit comedy. So Hillman has a feather in their cap of ending a comedian's like, Jody, that's what you're walking into. That's what you're walking into, Jody, is you're walking into a tough crowd. Wasn't it a tough crowd? I'm trying to remember if we were just a... Didn't you say, can we be dirty on this thing? Oh, absolutely.

Fire away. Right. So, because you guys are telling us, and then he always wanted to stop take a Algerian. And he blew it with this joke about beastiality. I'm like, I don't know. That's a bit of a dichotomy there. I don't remember. You know, big city guy.

Let's talk about beastiality. Yeah. Yeah, it was like metrosexual, like very, like, well-dressed and like, you know, clothed hair and like, you know, very presentable. It was doing bestiality jokes. And everybody was like, oh, wow, this is not for us. Usually that's a formula for success. Yeah.

I feel like part of your guys's job or gig or whatever you call it, I assume job, is you got to like read the audience and figure out what they're into pretty quick. And by that time, he was just throwing things at the wall except it was like a grenade. I'm going to blow the wall and I'm going to walk out of this place and I'm done forever. Yeah. Well, and that's that, yeah, that's what you do sometimes. If you're bombing with your regular material, it usually kicks ass. you're going to, well, I don't know, let's try this other stuff.

I mean, generally the way I look at it is like you're probably a fairly funny person, just a funny personality if you're doing this job. So start talking to people. If they're going to give you anything, just be funny and charming like your normal self. And you can sort of get a little traction that way. And if you can get a little traction and kind of get them on your side a bit, then you, hey, slip in some of your material again. and you might be able to carry on from there.

Or just go straight for BCLity jokes. Or go for some BCLity jokes. I'm glad I was a part of history. I mean, I feel bad. I feel really bad for them. But the fact that that that doesn't happen every day, the fact you've been in comedy as long as you have, and you're saying that was the worst you've ever seen a comedian,

I'm like, holy crap, that's why I remember it then. Because I'm like, normally I don't know if I remember anything. But as soon as you bring it up, I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember being in the building that night. I remember him bombing bat. I remember him getting heckled by people that I know and love. And I'm like, that's where we're going right now. We're going to heckle a comedian. All right.

I guess so because this is somewhere else. At one point, the headliner comes back on almost to give him the yank because he's just like, ooh, this is, I better go help him. Right. But there was no help but after that. It was just like, everybody was like, time to go home. It's time to go home. And I think your guy, he kind of gave up. You know what I mean?

Like, you bombed in a town. He said it's a crowd of 100. I mean, you know, it's not like news is going to, oh, just fly across the country. You'll never be able to play anywhere again. You know, you bombed. Oh, that's it. You're completely fucked. Yeah, nobody in Toronto is going to be like, oh, we heard about that Hillbond show.

Oh, we're going to take a chance of this guy. I heard he couldn't. Got it in Helmand. Yeah. I got it. It's like the roast of no one. It was just that, yeah, his ego couldn't recover from that, though. Oh, yeah.

No, I get it. Yeah. I mean, everybody, everybody is bombed. And everybody's bombed so hard where, like, the worst bombs is when you're doing, like, a corporate show. So there's probably not another comedian there, you know. And, and, like, so, like, I'm trying to say, like, probably 20 years ago. something like that. I did. I was still kind of making like 500 bucks a show and so I was doing this.

And I was the replacement. It was supposed to be Martin Yanofsky, the pianist. He's a humorist. And he's a concert pianist. He's extremely amazing on piano. And then he makes some jokes and stuff. Great. But he couldn't make it or he was sick, whatever. Anyway, so he had suggested, hey, he used Jody. So he would kind of throw me gigs once in a while. Five hundred bucks. I go there. this gig for like the zoo society like the forestry farm in Saskatoon and Saskatoon's got like the shittiest zoo of all the time. It's just

terrible. And so I used to do a bit about it. And I didn't know these people were on the zoo board, nothing. They were just they were just those groups. It wasn't a fundraiser for the zoo. Like it wasn't that obvious. It was just they're like really, really mega rich. like the guy who organized these are like the skull and bones type of feet in Saskatoon

they were like this one guy was wearing a necklace made of gold like a big almost like a Mr. T not a braided chain but like with all these little sort of like like quasi, you know World War I Nazi World War I German sort of crosses on it

I was like this really where I should be right now? It's gold they stole in the war that's too gold not what that is Anyways, so, yeah, it was a bunch of Richie Riches. I'm doing this stuff about being from a farm and all that stuff. And I'm talking about the Saskatoon Zoo. And there's nothing in the Saskatoon Zoo that you've not seen dead on the highway around Saskatoon.

And I said, there's a lot of one-eyed, three-legged animals in the zoo. And like, it's silence. And I'm like, sweating. because I know I've done something. I know I did it. And I know, but I don't know exactly what it was. But yeah.

And the guy who hired, like, was, you know, running the thing. He kind of, he just looked at me, he goes,

this one. Giving you the curtain call. No more. No more of that. He goes, he told me, I should have, I should have told you before.

And like, he's like a mega rich, super rich, crazy, you know, like they, like one woman didn't turn her chair around to watch.

me didn't turn her didn't right didn't even face me you know what I mean you know you're not going to do well and they're not willing to turn their chair to face to watch the show to watch they've paid for yeah well Jody what what's I got a little of Miles's background what's what's your background like why am I brown so I'm a weird question but why are why are you brown That's not the right way. No, no, I grew up on a farm outside of Saskatoon and went to a little, sorry, my dog is being an idiot. Oh, it's all good.

I went to a little town, like Aberdeen, like it was 450 people maybe or something like that. And so like a lot of my act is sort of, you know, a senator on growing up small town, small town brown. I don't know if you've noticed. Anyways, it's not good. It's not a good to look to throw your dog, is it? There's a bed there. There's a bed when I threw podcast listeners are just going to hear a dog getting chung out of the window.

Here's a question for you, fellas. I assume when you bomb it really bad, and hopefully on Saturday. that is not the case. I don't think it will be the case. But by the way, is this a good way to promo a show is just talking about bombing for 20 minutes? I don't know. I'm laughing. I'm having a good time. I assume you have to, it's got to be almost like short memory, right? Like, I'm a hockey guy. You get beat bad in a hockey game. You don't quit hockey. You go, well, it's best of seven. We got to show up the next game.

And let's not do what we did last time and learn from our mistake. Yeah, and those are the stories you talk about. Yeah. That's what forms you, I assume. Yeah, the people who, the only laughs you'll ever get when you're bombing are from the other comedians. Yeah. Laughing at you bomb.

They're not laughing at your jokes. They're laughing at you just sweat the silence, you know. And they're just happy. It's not them. And they hear the little waver in your voice where they usually hear confidence. And they're like, ah, ha, ha.

It's just, yeah, that's the only laughs you get. And so, like, the, I, I guess I don't know, the danger. Sometimes the way out is to start playing to the comics, which is really, really fun. But if you're bombing and you play to the comics, you're probably not going to get better laughs. You know what I mean?

What do you mean play to the comics? You mean like talk? Yeah. Like at them? Yeah. You're doing, like you're probably not going to do material anymore. You're just talking about stuff that they would find funny. and you know that they are looking at this situation

and thinking it's ridiculous. So you're kind of talking about the situation without really pointing out who's who or anything like that. And yeah, it's pretty fun. But yeah, it doesn't win your favor with the crowd. Yeah, that's the kind of thing that's so endearing about it is nobody's 100% safe from not bombing. Like Seth Myers was just talking like last week

or the week before about some big charity event they did for whatever thing is going on in the States right now. And him and some S&L alumni just like fucking ate it in front of the crowd of like 3,000 like Hollywood types. I just had to leave the building like with their heads down like everybody ate at them. And it's Seth Myers, you know what I mean? Like it's insane. So it's it's, it's kind of cool that that could always happen. But that said, small town shows are our thing. That's what we do now. So we're, they're so.

Let me ask you two comedians, small town Saskatchewan, or doing shows in small town Saskatchewan, would a thing like the Chappelle getting tackled on stage or Chris Rock getting slapped on stage, does that worry you at all? Because as a guy, I'm like, geez, like, isn't that the whole point? like have you ever had anything remotely like that where a guy wanted to cut you on stage? Not for a long time.

No, it's been a while, but yeah, you have to, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's been a few situations where like I've kicked other guys out that were trying to mess with my friend on stage. Yeah. I'm trying to think, no one, never, I never fought on stage. I didn't thought. I did have to peel a guy off of another.

comic and pull him out. He was like fish hook in the comic and I saw a guy, not me, but another comic. Some guy tried to run up on stage and he took like the 30-pound mic stand and hit him in the chest with it and knocked him over.

And I'll tell you about it. Yeah, I mean, no, there's lots of stories of guys like there was one. There was one that was kind of out of the states. There was like one of these open mics in Vegas for like I don't know and it was a comic on comic and the other guy the other comic felt quite bad that he got bumped or something like that he tried getting on and the guy just straight up like gave him a front kick like right in the chest as he was coming back

on he goes don't don't come at me whatever he's to warn him yeah he just takes the mic stand out of the way straight in the chest it's like whoa it's very rare and especially that's all all these stories that I have for sure are all before everybody had a cell phone too. Yeah. So that put an end to that. But that used to happen too often. Too often. Yeah.

10 years ago or more. And now it doesn't happen at all. You're saying before cell phones, people used to rush the stage all the time? Not all the time. But I mean, but enough where it wasn't like, oh, we got rushed last, you know, not rushed. I just mean one person. I assume you're not meaning 15 people or beastiality's been said. It's always just like one guy that was super drunk and,

you know, the comic made fun of them and heckled and they went back and forth and he basically got turned into looking like an ass in front of everybody. So now that's his way to save face is now he's going to come up and fight the comic. And I've seen that happen a handful of times. So like the Will Smith thing and all that stuff was like nothing new. Like everybody that's done comedy for a long time has seen that before. Yeah.

But never on. Something ran stage. Yeah. And I mean, I don't know anything about Wilson or this rock. Really. Like I don't know. I've never heard any stories or that kind of stuff. Will Smith did some training boxing.

Obviously he did all-eat, you know, so he did a lot of training. So he knows how to throw a decent shot. And he totally suckered Chris Rock on that. Because who expects on national TV to have someone come up and rock you in the face? I mean, like, a sucker punch is when you're like not expecting this. You're expecting, okay, let's have some jokes and get back to being on television in the biggest award show of our industry, like whatever. And then he gets pounded in the face. and then like, he took that and just came back and made jokes.

And I think if that would have been like a not on television, like in a club or in a bar, I think Chris Rock would have had a little more answer for that. Like, he was angry. You know, you don't get punched in the face and not get angry. He just was really cool about it. He made some jokes. He carried on.

He kept the night going, right? Yeah. But you do that in some dingy club. they will be rolling on the ground. Like I said, and I don't know, Priswag. I don't know anything about them, other than you don't just get to do that. I did a show one time,

and basically the comic was making fun of somebody in the back, and, you know, the guy heckled, so he just berated him and ripped him apart, and the guy got super mad and basically rushed the stage, and that's where he hit him with the mic's dad, turned into a whole fight, and then he was fish-hooking him, and I had to pull the guy off and throw him out of the comedy club.

There was bananas. And the comic says, well, I got to go and clean up. Like, I'm bleeding. I got to go, like, wash myself off. So go back on stage. But I had already done my set and, like, didn't have more jokes. And I was like, oh, no, what do I do? And so I grabbed the bike.

And everybody is just sitting in shocked silence. Like, it felt a very small town version of that Will Smith thing. And I grabbed the mic and I went, well, it's hard to be funny after there's been violence. And everybody bustle out me. It's like, oh, okay, we can talk about this. This is going to be fun. We made fun of both of them for like 10 minutes after that. Yeah, I don't know.

The situation with Chappelle, did that guy end up being, was he crazy or something? What was the deal? Like, there was no, I don't know, white. Yeah, he had a plastic. gun with a knife in it. A replica gun. Oh. Which,

is this suicide by Chappelle? I don't know. Like, I mean, you know, Dave Chappelle, I don't know. Like, again, I don't know him. But he seems to roll with a bit of an entourage. And usually within those entourage is like one humongous maniac. You know what I mean? And so, like, you basically, if you're going to do that, you got to take, all right,

time to take on the maniac. Like, I'm not going to actually fight Chappelle. Yeah. Like, I might be a shot. That's in. I think that's what's... But I think that's what's surprising Bushapel. He's like, I don't know, a comedy god, right?

Like, he's at the top of the peak for anyone to get on stage with him blows you away. But I also think, you know, I never thought I'd bring up Kim Kardashian on my podcast, certainly. But she got... Another legendary comedians. That's right. That's right. But she got kidnapped, right? Back in Paris.

And you're like, how does that happen with somebody who's like Uber wealthy, famous, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? She ended up coming, yeah. I haven't kept up with the Kardashians. I don't know. I'm not even close. Are either of you married? Come on.

With my wife and the Kardashians, it's just like, I know way too much, way too much, guys. Yeah, yes, you do. Yes, yes, I do. Maybe we know too little because I didn't know that she'd been kidnapped. Well, this is, this is a couple years ago. A couple years ago. Was it a successful kidnapping? Like this person, she actually was taken away?

No, I think if memory serves me, correct. Actually, David Letterman's new show where he sits down one-on-one on Netflix with different people, kind of like this, right? It's a very interactive show. He talked to her about it. And she talks openly about, you know, being held against her will. And they eventually leave. It was in her hotel room.

And I think they steal a bunch of her like jewelry and stuff. You can imagine how much of that stuff's worth. I think there was at the time, maybe a wedding ring or engagement ring, probably an engagement ring. Who knows, everything had diamonds on it of hers, I'm sure. But yeah, no, it was, and it was in France. Those are righteous bucks. A couple hundred bucks.

Did that happen to coincide with the season finale of 30? Oh, no, exactly. tune in next season when what happens with Kim. She's like, get me the fuck out of here. That's the thing, though, about, like, even Chris Rock and Will Smith, like, both those guys roll with, like, a whole team. You know what I mean? Like, you...

But, you know, okay, but Chris Rock wouldn't have had anybody at that event. Well, the thing is, is if you're Chris Brock... If they had the event, you know, it was... Yeah, he would have been there with his boy. The funniest thing, Chris Rock came out, you said, is Wilson. Was that Wilson? It's great.

You think for Chris Rock at an award show like that, they probably have security, but when you're dealing with a whole bunch of Hollywood stars, you're not really that worried about it. Even while he's walking up there, Chris Rock's probably thinking, ah, here comes Will. Will didn't like that last joke.

We're going to have a little Anna or action. We'll carry on. When it's Dave Chappelle at one of those big theaters, you would have thought they would have had like, nobody's getting on the stage. Yeah. Because you. That was the guy's chasing.

him and then he took off this way and they both went boom and slid and then they got after so good yeah i want to see awards ceremonies go back to what they had in blues brothers like just the chicken wire fence to keep him out you know exactly what uh how hard is uh i assume you guys got to be like over the moon that things are opening up people get to come watch your shows like i mean your entire industry pretty much went in the in the toilet how much fun has it been getting back in front of live audiences the best beautiful yeah yeah exactly like there's uh like for as much as yes we love getting on the station and being funny and entertaining people like there's a certain amount of that's also cathartic for ourselves like that's what's what we use to get things off our

chest and things that bother us and whatever and get our crazy out. So, yeah, I mean, not being able to do that for a while is shitty, you know, like I, I separated, like, during COVID, I separated getting a divorce and, like, don't know wrong, it's going great, but I mean, like, like, you know, you usually have comedy to make fun. You make fun of yourself. You make fun of the situation. But remember you get in other people laughing about what, is the grossest thing that's going on for you at the time. Makes you feel better about it all. You know what I mean?

And not having that sucks. Yeah, it's a type of therapy, right? Yeah, man. Getting it off your chest and then, I mean, nobody, I love, I don't think we all laughed enough during the last couple of years. I mean, you couldn't, but like literally any avenue to do it was gone, right? Unless Dave Chappelle released another standup on Netflix or something. There was nothing to go see live.

Like, everything was done. Yeah, there was only like a few friends of ours to put on like the backyard sort of comedy shows like last summer. Yeah, and it would sort of, it opened up a bit and then that turned out to be a horrendous mistake. Yeah. And like COVID went crazy again and it all walked down again.

What did you think of the backyard shows? Did you, did you guys get to do a couple of those? We did. Yeah. Yeah, they're pretty fun. I mean, like getting in front of the crowd is always fun. And the thing is like then, I mean, you like, these are people who hadn't seen anything live for quite a while. So, like, you're like, hey, today I stubbed my toe.

And they're like, wah! You hear that stuff in his toe. This is fucking crash crazy. You know, it was like the easiest laughs of all time. Yeah, everyone was just so pumped to be around people. Yeah. Yeah, sit in a backyard and have a beer, a fire, and somebody try and make you laugh. Yeah, you didn't have to.

Laughing directly into each other's mouths. Yeah. Well, I know we all want to get back to the Oilers game. usually do a little segment at the end. And for you guys, I've just, you know, Crude Master is my final sponsor for this little segment. He's the final five. And they're this major sponsor for, for the event coming up here in Hillmont. We love Curbmaster. I love Curd Master. Hi, Curbmaster. Well, you could purchase tickets. Here's my shameless promotion. Through Event Bright, Hillmon Arena, Comedy and Steak Night brought to you by, you know, friend of the podcast, Crudemaster Transport,

Heath and Tracy McDonald. So two questions for you, boys. One is, what's your favorite plate? You know, you're coming to the bustling metropolis of Helmand. What other small town Saskatchewan are you like, man, I can't wait to go back there because that was a ton of fun. Because I assume they're hat. I mean, that's all Saskatchewan is, is little Hillman's all over the place. Yeah.

Wow, man. What we did? Lack Peltier. Where is Lack Peltier? check. It's down by Swift Current, kind of. Yeah, we, we, like, they took us out in their boat, like,

during the day and, uh, and went water skiing on an upside down table, like a poker table. Yeah. Oh, no, like it was on a chair. There was a lot of drunken shenanigans. Yeah. I was on a chair on a platform and, and water skiing. And then they, they ripped the,

they called it Uncle Bob and it. Their uncle Bob used to do it or something. Yeah, he was the king of. They pulled upside down poker table by the dock and people on the dock would hand them like a beer and the cigar and a fishing rod and he kept grabbing. Yeah, he had a cigarette. It's really awesome. Smoking a cigarette. There was an order to it, right?

Yeah, yeah, because he had, by the end of it, he had like a book. He was pretending to read while he was sitting on the chair and fishing. That was pretty fun. Yeah. That felt it. It's a good one. They sold you an experience. is what you're saying. It wasn't the show. It was the experience of going there and everything around.

I was out there all day and like, yeah, just drank and party with the people. It was super fun. And then we did the show and it was just packed house and just, you know, every small town in Saskatchewan is full of just, just, you know, good time people that like having fun and laughing. So yeah, the shows are always good times. And drinking some Pilsner. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Amen. I, yeah. When I was, I mean, I've been doing this quite a while. So when I was a younger comedian, I would partake in many, many Bilsers and all sorts of booze. I don't know. I don't drink but perhaps much as I used to.

Yeah, me too. But maybe in Hillmont. Maybe we'll change that in Hillmont. Let's rip it up. Final one. If you could perform then anywhere, you guys performed like all across Canada, overseas, different spots here or there everywhere. Where's one spot on your bucket list that you're like,

man, I'd really like to check that one off. Oh, actually, I got picked for the Halifax Comedy Festival in 2020. So I would like to do that, but it was postponed due to the pandemic. And I have not got an invite back yet. So I'm kind of, that's one that I'd like to do. That seems doable. But I haven't checked that box yet. I want to do the Winnipeg Colleen Festival.

Yeah, I have done tons of shows in Manitoba and some of it, but I've never gone and chosen to do Winnipeg College Festival. You're the first guy to say I'd like to go to Winnipeg. Right? Flight 22A was Hawaii. Flight 22B is Winnipeg. And Jody Peters is on that and he's happy. I'm going to Winnipeg. Have fun surfing.

You can tell we just like, we're grizzled road comics, Matt, because you're like, oh, where we're, would you like to play anywhere in the world? We could have said Hawaii. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's not like for when I'm going to Hawaii, then I'm getting there, the Ferrari. Yeah, I'm doing the whole Magdome tour. Yeah, my focus is split when I'm in Hawaii. So you guys, for the show in Hillmont, for the show in Winnipeg, whatever, you guys load up in a vehicle and hammer it across, you got like a little like pregame ritual you do on the, on the road, or is it like,

one guy gets in the driver's seat, the other guy's nap and or is there, there's no, we just we pretty much laughed the entire way yeah like basically they're like depending on how long the drive is there'll be some serious talk for a while and but then there's gonna be some like crazy laughs where you probably so whoever's driving might actually go off the road like because you're crying or whatever like it's just like we get I don't know we're pretty bad with that actually yeah we have like if you get each other laughing so hard that we're excited for self-driving cars. So that we're not putting ourselves in the back and laugh.

Here's a question for you. As we end, it's 736. The other games going along, there is 12 minutes to go in the second period. Guesses on the score. 4.4. That's decent. I'm going to say 4 3 winners. 6.3 Colorado.

Whoa. Not even 8 minutes into the second period. This series is going to be, wild. I hope the oilers pull it off and come back. Either way, Saturday night, boys, I'm looking forward to meeting up with you two sharing a Pilsner after the show because I'll make sure I twist your arm on that. It'll be great to shake your hand in person. Appreciate you hopping on. Safe travels and we'll catch up to you Saturday and thanks for doing this. Thank you. Thanks for having us, man. See you soon. Cheers.
