00:01:24.240 okay um all right all right

00:01:28.500 that's about enough i think i would start actually i think i would go insane if i did

00:01:36.000 that for an hour and a half i think like when you become senile that's the voice you're gonna

00:01:40.080 get locked in is you're gonna like be doing it one day and then the dementia hits and then

00:01:45.880 it's like you forgot who you are you just are chinese

00:01:48.880 um yeah hopefully not

00:01:53.880 i don't like when you say a thing right down to me

00:02:02.840 i don't like when you say something to me

00:02:06.860 uh insinuating i'm going to have a dementia

00:02:11.300 let's go to a mandarin do they have a mandarin here if you're not if you're american listening

00:02:20.840 to this you go to canada you want to have the fattest possible canadian experience you go to a

00:02:26.200 mandarin it's like a chinese buffet it's kind of like uh america doesn't they don't have chains

00:02:32.960 of buffets really for like they have panda express and shit like like that kind of buffet but like

00:02:38.380 they don't have chinese buffets like mandarin is a special motherfucking place dude yeah if you're

00:02:45.820 from ontario mandarin is like the fucking best place maybe it's is it only ontario i think so i

00:02:52.400 don't think it's canada wide

00:02:53.600 they're finally raising the speed limits which i like in ontario

00:02:59.700 doug ford everybody shits on doug ford i kind of i mean

00:03:02.860 look i don't like when they when they do the politicians do something you like you you like it

00:03:10.480 okay i mean they can get away with a lot of shit they can get away with a lot of shit

00:03:16.400 but if they're doing shit like we're raising the speed limits and you can smoke weed everywhere

00:03:21.180 anywhere and you can take shits on people oh well that's why the indians are here because

00:03:24.880 you can take a shit wherever you want that's but

00:03:28.000 um i don't know he like the beer store or the the beer and oh shit in in convenience stores like

00:03:39.400 americans don't realize that most of canada doesn't even have that they don't even have

00:03:44.180 you can't buy liquor in a convenience store you can buy like in in england you can buy

00:03:49.800 full bottles of vodka in convenience stores yeah like it's nuts so

00:03:56.980 pretty nuts that that we're just getting that and now like the liberals are pushing back against

00:04:03.600 it they're like this is bad this is bad for society blah blah blah it's like look if you're gonna if

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

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

00:04:42.060 right now and i can't because i have to wait till tomorrow and that just takes away like a certain

00:04:48.380 like level of freedom well they stopped the sale at 11 though still really yeah no yeah in the

00:04:54.500 fucking convenience store yep no it's yeah yeah it's like a certain hour to a certain hour oh it's not

00:04:59.920 even worth it i know that was my exact thought too when i first when we first came back i was like

00:05:05.500 oh i was kind of excited like circle k i went by and it's like no it stops at 11 and they're like

00:05:10.540 strict so canadian to just be like oh we were fighting for our right if we have a little

00:05:15.040 fucking beer it's odd well other provinces have it quebec you can do it i think and alberta and

00:05:22.460 shit yeah alberta yeah alberta has liquor stores open till two i don't know guys it's fucking weird

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

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

00:06:11.840 like fucking no it's not it's my fault i booked a hotel the wrong day and i had to somehow get them

00:06:18.020 to put the money towards today's hotel and i had to call like stupid amount of people booking.com

00:06:26.160 this that it's just you know it's just not it's not that easy kid you know you make it look pretty

00:06:34.360 easy you gotta call a lot of people you gotta make you gotta push a lot of buttons it's crazy how much

00:06:42.980 kids little kids love pushing buttons and then when i like when i was a kid like my parents made it me

00:06:47.960 feel like wow it's not pushing so many fucking like i don't know like you i would go to

00:06:53.320 the science center and i swear my dad would be like stop pushing the button

00:06:58.140 that's the whole fucking point of going to the science center is to push buttons and my dad's like

00:07:05.060 can you not be pushing so many buttons what did your dad think it was gonna be just a lecture

00:07:09.660 just sit down and teach you about astronomy and fucking physics that's so fucked up yeah the more

00:07:17.800 you tell me about your childhood the more it makes sense that's horrible pushing these buttons

00:07:22.480 i don't even know if he really said that but like i do remember he had that vibe like vibe of like

00:07:29.160 the like like he looked disgusting because there'd be like a bunch of kids pushing the button and then

00:07:33.840 i'd push it and he'd be like oh you're still in the gym what did you think he was you were gonna be

00:07:38.840 like every kid's so filthy you're gonna get sick oh god just takes you to canada's wonderland he's

00:07:48.340 like why are you going on the rides yeah that's terrible no oh no he took me when i was like eight

00:07:55.840 two or i was seven or something i think i was seven and he took me to one of those screamers like

00:08:03.540 scared like halloween haunt

00:08:05.620 yeah and i got there and it literally said like must be nine or something to get in

00:08:13.940 and i was like dad like i'm not old enough and he's like see you nine tonight

00:08:18.940 like i'm seven like i literally told them i was like i don't want to go in and then they're like

00:08:28.500 my dad's like yeah he's fine and then they just like let me in collectively let you get

00:08:34.600 all i could hear was chainsaws and i was like crying freaking out just seven just like and but

00:08:42.060 but the reason we had to go is because my parents had an argument that day oh because they my my dad

00:08:48.340 was already sleeping like in the fucking living room and like my mom just went nuts and was like

00:08:55.460 do something with him take him somewhere do something with god's sake took you to the scary

00:09:00.420 yeah he took me to the scare world with like he never had weird like fuck like cool friend with

00:09:06.780 like a weird hat and then i lost his hat so he was mad so like we went through one

00:09:12.040 of the haunted houses when we were in there and i was just like terrified and like they

00:09:16.300 and i was like wow i was so scared like it's too young to be in there yeah terrified right

00:09:23.920 and i dropped the hat that was like some beret that he had me fucking wearing like a little

00:09:28.660 fag and then the hat fell off and i came we came out and then like it's dark in there so then it was

00:09:37.660 light and then he's like where's the hat where the hell's the goddamn hat and he's like what no

00:09:43.200 my dad oh your dad he's like we're going back he like takes me back into the like and then he's

00:09:50.080 like it was kind of cool though it made me less scared because he was like to like some guy with

00:09:54.700 like a fucking scare mask on he's like we lost a hat you gotta lost that man and the guys like the

00:10:04.740 guy is like a wolf yeah yeah yeah yeah and he's just like well we'll check and see if we can bring

00:10:32.820 pretty scary i just i don't even like there was some like then i think those were way scarier than

00:13:07.440 it it's pretty yeah i worked at ontario place as a ride operator and they would definitely

00:13:22.800 that sounds dangerous man like how like they just was they just let a kid just like

00:13:28.240 they had all these like the union guys they call them the union guys like it was a bunch of italians

00:13:33.440 in like you know utility vehicles that look like golf carts with a bunch of like just random tools

00:13:52.880 they just work at ontario place like fixing rides or whatever the fuck and yeah they would just like

00:13:59.680 drive down and like fix it there'd be like an oil spill like all like like oil would be leaking out

00:14:05.600 of the yeah tilt a whirl and shit like that and we'd have to shut it down and they'd be like oh we're

00:14:11.120 gonna be down for a couple days you know like it was so bad but it was pretty fun it was actually

00:14:18.720 really fun working there i remember being like i want to work here next year and then they shut it down

00:14:23.520 like i would have worked there the second summer damn yeah i was gonna like and yeah i was gonna

00:14:29.440 get like a raise and shit wow and then they were just like casually like no we're just shutting the

00:14:36.240 entire park but it was fun like you'd just be on a rotation of shit and then like you know you'd be

00:14:41.600 at one point you'd be at mini putt right so for sick you just stand there and like rent out clubs and

00:14:46.880 like help little kids like fucking get like holes in one and shit like stupid like because like i'm

00:14:53.120 not actually but like their parent like you know the parents would be like we lost a ball i don't

00:19:08.800 a way like you grew up playing cards and like there was always cards cards cards but wouldn't you just

00:19:13.600 be like a gambler at that point though no because you play like euchre with your family oh okay cards

00:19:23.680 shit but it's all automated now though it's it's you don't even shuffle the deck like themselves

00:19:28.000 at least the blackjack tables that i've seen so they don't cheat yeah so it really is just so you

00:19:33.040 sit there and hand a card and then some guy loses money and calls you a slur

00:19:41.520 yeah i hate when i'm doing we're doing comedy there's no casino because it's like
