00:03:49.060
look at this she made a mic stand out of a there's a hair clip here and uh this is this looks like a lid
00:04:00.640
to something so it's it's very very cool that uh that she would put that together
00:04:12.460
and i mean she did it for some other comics but it was extra special because i just need that little
00:04:29.540
my kids dolls because we just built her a massive dollhouse
00:04:47.000
that if they really want the key to my heart they gotta make me a doll
00:04:51.240
i don't know what it is i've always liked miniature thing yeah like like my penis

00:05:24.760
i mean the coolest thing is talking to mark reslin who i love
00:05:28.760
and i actually talked to him today over text and he said that he would be willing to come
00:05:33.060
on the podcasts semi-regularly to just talk about comedy and maybe talk about some of his norm mcdonald
00:05:39.020
stories some of his russell peters stories some of his jim carrey stories because he is the
00:05:45.840
he is the owner of yuck yucks and he was the one who passed all these amazing comics so we're hoping to get
00:06:08.820
and you know you have to go and get some form sign you got to get like 10 form sign
00:06:14.800
and then go to the dmv to switch the plates and then you got to pay like four grand or some crazy amount of money
00:06:21.720
and it's just an absolute nightmare i don't know what to do i'm gonna have to drive my
00:06:25.860
i have a rear wheel drive car i can't really drive it in the winter all the way back to canada in fucking january
00:06:45.060
i saw a texas license plate in ontario i thought oh shit that's hilarious because i'm driving around texas on with ontario plates going
00:06:51.580
this is this i'm definitely the odd one out nobody's ever seen an ontario plate in texas
00:06:58.780
they see an ontario plate and they're thinking was ontario california that's but that doesn't make sense
00:07:04.400
that would be a california plate what the fuck is ontario
00:07:06.760
maybe more people than i know i'm spreading the joy i'm spreading the joy of canada the joy of the 51st state
00:07:15.800
through the great state of texas showing everybody uh
00:07:24.520
native indians and we're a country of indian indians
00:07:30.040
but back in texas it's nice to be back because when you're
00:07:41.160
like i talked about on this week's free podcast
00:07:47.180
i was thinking about making that podcast the patreon
00:07:49.420

00:07:52.060
but i just wanted to i mean tell you guys what the fuck sometimes i go through
00:07:57.120
and i and you know i do feel i don't want to be one of those guys who's just like bitching and complaining about people

working your ass you know you work your ass off
00:08:29.040
why why you're back you you like you miss it you miss it
00:08:41.800
right the the way that guy was acting that i was talking about in the last in the free podcast
00:08:47.480
that to me that's like uh you go back to the abandoned house and the grass is grown over the the walls of moss
00:09:03.020
but there are also people who are jealous of me who
00:09:06.020
have turned a new leaf and realized like there's no literally no reason because
00:09:11.680
anybody who comes up to me and goes like hey man like my bad like that was stupid like i'm probably gonna just treat you like nothing ever happened
00:09:23.260
you apologizing for it's just like oh yeah yeah yeah
00:09:52.380
