00:04:10.360 you're that much of an alcoholic you're just gonna go to the the place you can buy booze and buy as much

00:04:15.040 booze as you can't yeah it's like you're not stopping anybody by taking away the convenience

00:04:22.220 of like regular people this it's it's this whole assumption that like everyone's a crackhead because

00:04:27.480 and then the liberals are like they're in favor of that that's what you can't have liquor stores and

00:04:33.200 beer stores open all the time because everybody's out of their minds like that's your fault though 0.98

00:04:36.640 what the other half's like what about regular people are like i want to fucking get a six-pack 0.90

00:05:29.860 being in the states for as long as i was and then like not that long but like 0.98

00:05:34.480 you know for most of the time and touring there and then coming back to canada's

00:05:40.240 was more of a culture shock than i thought it would be i thought it would

00:05:44.000 i thought i'd feel more like comfortable back back here but now i feel like in a way less comfortable but

00:05:51.380 now because i've been here so long like all of a sudden i'm feeling more comfortable but i don't like

00:05:56.380 it i'm like oh no yeah i'm starting oh the indian guy did a good job oh starting to like it he put me

00:06:04.720 in the right room oh yeah he was pretty good talk about that the awful well yeah i don't know
