00:03:27.320 the equinox gym so i'm doing fat camp doing classes and stuff while i perform at night

00:03:35.140 at Bananas Comedy Club in Rutherford, New Jersey,

00:03:40.300 in the lobby of the, I don't know what hotel it is,

00:03:45.340 but it's actually not a bad hotel.

00:03:48.340 And, you know, the people who work there are nice.

00:03:50.960 I like them.

00:03:52.380 The room, it's a bit of a banquet hall in a hotel lobby.

00:03:56.920 But, hey, everybody starts somewhere.

00:04:01.060 everybody who's done an arena

00:04:03.860 has performed at the

00:04:06.280 banquet hall

00:04:08.520 in Rutherford, New Jersey

00:04:10.180 everybody who's done anything interesting

00:04:12.120 in comedy

00:04:13.560 has performed at some of these places

00:04:15.860 I mean there's places, you know

00:04:17.260 once you're doing Rodney's

00:04:20.460 although Rodney's

00:04:22.160 I saw a couple comics

00:04:23.780 going there

00:04:24.840 doing little mini

00:04:28.280 tapings of material there

00:04:30.500 so maybe that's maybe i don't know what do i know what i know is that the shows that are coming up

00:04:37.400 that i'm preparing for are actually like legitimate you know these are comedy shows that

00:04:44.160 i've been working towards my entire career meridian hall in toronto is still the biggest

00:04:51.460 show that i've ever done 3200 seats sold out and i love toronto but the whole dream is

00:04:58.240 make it in america you can't you can't just be well known in canada and make it you know like 0.90

00:05:04.660 fucking don cherry look what they did to him because if you're well known in canada and you 0.96

00:05:09.460 quote unquote make it in canada like you know jerry d or um you know these you know you guys 0.99

00:05:16.060 don't even know who these people are trailer park boys were actually successful outside of canada

00:05:22.140 that's why everybody knows them that's why they're a little nobody really knows who jerry d is he's 0.53

00:05:27.440 the host of Family Feud Canada.

00:05:30.180 And, you know, he was funny,

00:05:31.500 but he didn't really make it outside of Canada.

00:05:34.460 So it's tough.

00:05:35.440 Because if you get canceled by Canada 1.00

00:05:37.240 and you only have Canada, you're fucked. 1.00

00:05:40.500 So you got to make it in America. 1.00

00:05:41.980 Every comic, they're lying if they say,

00:05:46.440 well, I don't want to make it in America.

00:05:48.360 I just want to be a Canadian comic.

00:05:50.280 I just want to be a well-known Canadian. 0.99

00:05:52.480 That's pathetic, okay? 0.96

00:05:55.800 I'm trying to make it here. 0.95

00:05:57.440 And these shows coming up, we got Englewood, New Jersey,

00:06:01.720 which is going to be just this incredible theater.

00:06:05.900 It looks beautiful.

00:06:07.580 1,500 seats.

00:06:10.100 And I'll tell you a little secret.

00:06:12.960 Originally, they were thinking about taking tickets off of sale.

00:06:19.700 They didn't want me to announce whatever.

00:06:22.480 But they realized that what I'm doing is comedy.

00:06:25.780 It's not any crazier or different than anybody else's crazy comedy

00:06:32.040 or comedy that goes the other way politically, quote, unquote, politically.

00:06:37.540 What the hell is it?

00:06:38.500 I don't know what my video guy is just wrestling around.

00:06:42.300 What are you trying to get, another camera set up?

00:06:44.480 Just another camera.

00:06:45.080 Oh, okay, yeah. 1.00

00:06:47.540 Mid-podcast, let's set up another fucking camera. 0.99

00:06:50.460 I mean, how about you just sit the hell down 0.99

00:06:51.980 so I can think of what the hell to say? 0.99

00:06:53.520 I mean, sorry, not to be a dick. 0.98

00:06:55.780 but fucking all right there it's we're rolling let me just start i mean it's 1.00

00:07:02.500 fuck 0.99

00:07:05.000 bergen performing arts center but they made the right choice and they kept the show on 0.97

00:07:15.240 and now it's looking like we're gonna easily sell it out um and i mean ben salem that's a

00:07:22.540 big room that's a casino it's more of like a ballroom than uh um you know it's a conference

00:07:28.300 yeah ask but these are these are cool things to do i think personally i think it's a cool

00:07:36.480 part of the career that i'm really trying to cherish it and you know because i cherished

00:07:43.400 i cherished yuck yucks i got the yuck yucks tattoo those were awesome days especially when

00:07:48.960 i started selling out my own show at yuck yucks and that was like my first little taste of a bit

00:07:55.800 of cash and yeah it changes you know you you start to think differently well you should some

00:08:02.060 people don't and then they get left in the dust and this is a longevity game this is a marathon

00:08:07.240 game this isn't oh well you know like the people who well i want to get into comedy and

00:08:13.360 to shut the hell up you know if you're not in it you're done you got people 10 15 20 years 30 years

00:08:21.160 40 years ahead of you selling tickets and you don't even know how to sell or they don't even 0.97

00:08:25.580 think about selling tickets they just want to be i want to be a comedian in the community i want to

00:08:30.060 be part of the comedy community to oh yeah that's gonna get you far the comedy community

00:08:38.540 when you start comedy that's the whole conversation is to come well what what's the

00:08:44.820 community like over there what's the what do you mean what what's community like because a lot of

00:08:50.260 people start comedy they want to first that you know they think they're gonna meet girls there's

00:08:54.200 no girls the girls that you meet if they're doing comedy they're out of their you know most of them

00:09:00.040 partially out of their minds maybe you and then you get mixed up with a comic female comic and 0.99

00:09:04.680 you're both doing open mics and then that's it that's the end of your fucking career seriously 0.75

00:09:10.100 so what you you do open mics and you think that oh maybe one day somebody's gonna see my set and 0.96

00:09:17.160 they're gonna nobody's gonna see your set nobody's watching your set there's no scouts there's no

00:09:22.200 hollywood uh you know there's nobody from the comedy store or say or maybe well maybe if you

00:09:28.660 get to the comedy store maybe on a big night maybe they you have the right agents you have

00:09:32.840 the right managers you've already been in the business 15 years and yeah you invite the right

00:09:37.060 maybe or you know obviously look there's always exceptions but generally speaking you're a new

00:09:42.560 comic you don't have a hope in hell of impressing anybody nobody's coming to see you the only way

00:09:49.320 to get better is to film yourself watch it and post it right that's the only way for anybody

00:09:54.740 the only people who are going to see your set and actually help you are going to see it online 0.98

00:09:58.440 while they're taking a shit scrolling their phone.

00:10:01.400 Nobody's coming to shows going, what's the new talent? 0.99

00:10:04.940 Because that industry's dead.

00:10:06.880 The old industry, I mean, it's still alive

00:10:10.760 because the people who started it are still alive.

00:10:13.960 But in terms of even, look, you know,

00:10:18.420 I think, you know, I really like Matt Reif.

00:10:21.160 I think that he should, how is he not getting Hollywood movies?

00:10:24.960 Or maybe he is, maybe I don't know.

00:10:26.300 But in the old days, you do that well, you get Hollywood movies.

00:10:30.560 But there's always this weird hesitation where, you know,

00:10:34.020 it used to be that stand-up and movies were kind of one career,

00:10:42.280 but it's not the same anymore because then it becomes stand-up and podcasts

00:10:46.400 or it becomes stand-up and this.

00:10:49.440 It's still possible to be in those things, which is, you know,

00:10:55.080 at the end of the day what i want to do and they you know people go i have people at my show somebody

00:10:59.360 after a show goes just never never change no matter how much money they offer you i'm like 0.98

00:11:05.120 shut the fuck up if they offer me 20 million there's some crazy amount and go listen we need 0.99

00:11:11.640 you to keep your mouth shut for a couple months i mean that's a break for me first of all and yeah 0.99

00:11:17.720 do i see things that i don't agree with yeah i'm what you know looking at x i see that this new

00:11:23.100 these videos going viral of this guy debating all these muslims and indians in oxford university i'm 0.60

00:11:29.540 just like what the fuck is that what is oxford university but if you say that if you go if i 0.99

00:11:34.500 get out and tweet oxford university lots of muslims it's crazy you sound like a crazy person 0.99

00:11:40.080 so really my you know comedy's a business a lot of people who want to do this for a living have 0.99

00:11:50.200 no fucking idea and even then when then they think they have an idea and then they get an 0.50

00:11:55.080 opportunity and they think that's the opportunity i'm gonna no it's not the opportunity it's not the 0.99

00:12:01.340 fucking opportunity to you know oh it's open and and then i started opening and i mean it's 0.78

00:12:09.020 interesting because i i wanted to open for people i remember wanting to open for different comics 0.96

00:12:15.040 that were bigger than me and then they kind of never asked they never said yeah if i asked they

00:12:20.700 never said yes and then i realized that that's a blessing in disguise i don't want to you know why

00:12:26.460 didn't this guy ask me to do his show when he popped into town and why did and then you realize 0.90

00:12:30.660 oh yeah because i don't want to fucking do any of their shows i don't want to open for anybody 0.87

00:12:34.600 at a certain point you don't you know if your goal in comedies i want to open for somebody really 0.99

00:12:40.220 then you're fucked because it's a shitty goal and it's you see some of the people you know my 0.79

00:12:46.020 openers are actually really good but there's some people don't have good openers or some people 0.99

00:12:51.080 bring another equally famous guy as a surprise or some weird bullshit it's just come on i don't

00:12:58.520 know i get it i get it um it is fun but i'm just trying to do the art because what drives you what 0.56

00:13:11.560 is death death drives you that you're gonna die one day so you gotta get up you gotta make the

00:13:16.440 pod you gotta do the thing you're gonna post the patreon you gotta post the clip you gotta try that

00:13:21.660 you try this push people to the limit push yourself to the limit be better because what

00:13:27.040 you're gonna then you're dead and then there's nothing and then you can't try anymore so

00:13:30.820 i want to put out this year i put out technically i put out two specials the canada special was more

00:13:39.160 of just a youtube video that got and it got censored heavily by youtube but the other special

00:13:45.880 has like almost 600 or 700 000 views and you know what a month pretty good for i mean i'm in i'm an

00:13:53.460 independent artist in the sense that i'm not you know there's no um sponsor there's no um

00:14:01.400 money behind it some you know some people comment he's got he's got somebody's paying 0.73

00:14:08.080 for this guy that i fucking wish it's independent i do this on my own i pay my guys i have my own 0.84

00:14:17.120 guys i pay them i have my own um whatever you know i make the money off the shows that's why 0.92

00:14:24.260 we're really you know i want patreon to to grow and the podcast to grow to offset because people

00:14:32.460 just go oh so oh he's touring a lot he makes a lot you make some but you gotta think about all

00:14:37.620 the people i gotta pay the video the openers the travel the hotels the um whatever else you know

00:14:46.220 the food and all that shit security i mean you know the it's it's kind of endless when you think 0.58

00:14:52.940 about it so i'm doing it on my own people trying to act like it's um you know some sort of i'm 0.96

00:15:02.680 getting some sort of helping hand or something it's not the case i forget what my point in that

00:15:07.320 was do you remember what my point was no you're doing on your own grassroots that's why he should

00:15:14.080 have been listening but he's on his phone he's scrolling he's hoping he gets likes everybody's 0.99

00:15:19.200 fucking retarded now everybody's minds are melted by likes and shit and i get it because that's 0.99

00:15:25.340 every day it's just you know i used to post something and get 200 likes and be like that's 1.00

00:15:30.420 a lot of likes and now i post something i got 2400 likes i'm like that's nothing so it's bizarre 0.58

00:15:36.660 i forget what my point was that doing it on my own and and shit like that and having openers and

00:15:44.080 I don't know.

00:15:48.120 There's no sponsor.

00:15:49.240 You're putting everything up.

00:15:50.240 It's all on you.

00:15:51.940 You're the man of the show.

00:15:55.140 Man of the biz.

00:16:03.400 And you have to have a podcast because...

00:16:06.520 I don't want to have a podcast.

00:16:09.420 I'd love to.

00:16:10.260 I'd like it to be 1972.

00:16:12.240 Like, you know, all these comics.

00:16:13.420 oh i don't want to do social media it's the same thing i have to you have to there's no choice oh

00:16:18.880 i'm a comedian but i don't do social media then nobody knows who you are nobody's ever seen any

00:16:23.060 of your bits uh you know technically your bits don't even exist you're doing it in an open mic

00:16:27.960 it's not on the internet it doesn't have likes it doesn't have views views likes that's that's 0.97

00:16:31.620 what the fucking currency is of the business so you have to um go out of your way to become 0.96

00:16:40.860 not just a comedian yeah oh like i remember when i started yuck yucks and the comics would talk to 0.99

00:16:48.360 you and go ah it's not like the old days used to be able to make 150 000 a year in the 80s doing

00:16:57.160 yucks uh you know touring around yuck yucks nobody knew who we were but we're making

00:17:02.340 yeah but it's not that anymore so you can't do it like that anymore nobody makes money like that 0.99

00:17:10.340 anymore you know how you make money you have to have a fucking team you have to have um 0.54

00:17:14.400 there's a lot of moving parts there's a lot of things happening you can't just you know and then 0.97

00:17:21.420 people are like you must get a lot of pushback i mean who's oh don't read the calm you know

00:17:27.020 everybody's it's like everybody's got an opinion on it too everybody wants to tell you how oh you

00:17:32.720 maybe you should have done it like dead like the other night like i had these heckler guys i just

00:17:37.040 can't stand it you know when i first started touring the states and the hecklers and i was

00:17:43.500 just honestly i was just so happy to be in america i was just like oh man this is great and i knew

00:17:47.620 what to do i dealt with the hecklers i made and some of those were great bits but now it becomes

00:17:53.160 like if you're actually like if you you know it's one thing if you hate me and you just ended up at

00:17:57.240 the show and you didn't realize but if you're a fan you've been looking forward to the show then

00:18:02.500 you you have five beers before the show you get to the show you're three beers deep you start

00:23:02.860 it to the extreme anything is fucked up look at even the i don't like extreme republicans i don't 0.99

00:23:14.280 weed and you know extreme penalties for you know the things that people should not be sent to jail

00:23:23.780 for long periods of time for um and the you know this weird republican attachment to the privatized 0.98

00:23:32.840 prisons and stuff and and that shit's fucked up i don't think that's extreme extreme anything 0.96

00:23:40.020 is you know um you know people call me racism racist i'm not racist i'm not and i'm definitely 0.99

00:23:47.960 not an extreme racist i make racist jokes in passing and tell them on stage the jokes that

00:23:53.980 i would tell my best friends of any race and make them laugh and that's just what it is it's really

00:23:59.300 just banter if anything it's locker room talk uh it's it's it's adult male uh themed you know 0.99

00:24:07.520 which women like that's why women want to fuck men is because men have their oh you know when 1.00

00:24:13.160 women go he's funny that's a sense of humor that's they're being part of something and well 1.00

00:24:17.420 my boyfriend would never make a horrible joke like that well then your boyfriend is not fucking 1.00

00:24:22.620 funny your boyfriend's a loser okay your boyfriend's some little skinny little you know fake 1.00

00:24:29.060 pretending not to be a twink like oh that's not funny what's he what's his joke what's his big 0.99

00:24:36.740 joke nothing so I do that I don't do extreme it's not like my oh his comedy's extreme it's not 0.96

00:24:44.160 extreme at all it's not extreme it's not as extreme as anything probably being said in any

00:24:51.440 mosque in america that that's you know oh or even some churches or some synagogues or some whatever

00:25:01.120 the fuck religious place or it's comedy it's a comedy club it's meant to be a place where you

00:25:08.740 come and you leave all your inhibitions at the door and you go whatever happens happens now look 0.99

00:25:13.700 there's other styles if you like if you prefer go for that but this is my style is what i was

00:25:21.000 brought up on which my mom introduced me you know i mean i'll say this george carlin was you know

00:25:26.880 one of the first comics i saw because my mom showed i watched thomas the tank engine and that

00:25:32.740 was what george carlin was on he was the voice of that show and he was in that show and my mom

00:25:38.440 would always tell me about and when you know now you some of carlin's bits yeah they were

00:25:42.960 kind of lefty bits for sure a lot of them but a lot of them were also kind of considered now

00:25:49.380 righty bits uh making fun of different uh cultures and things and um so but it was just the vulgarity

00:25:58.320 and the swearing and things that as a kid you watch that and go wow so my comedy has swearing

00:26:03.180 in it so people who are on the far extreme religious right may not like my comedy even

00:26:11.820 though they make might agree with my message i'm just saying that extreme of anything might hate

00:26:17.180 it if you're an ultra-orthodox jew and you you might oh yeah yeah he's the i mean if you're

00:26:22.260 anything if you're a muslim and you're fully veiled and you're at my show it's you look you're

00:26:29.580 welcome and um but i might mention it whereas you're used to the being in an environment where

00:26:36.740 whatever you do for yourself and and your culture nobody talks against it nobody's pushing back

00:26:43.280 against the things that you think are your ingrained ideals for the rest of your life

00:26:47.560 so my point in this is

00:26:52.840 the west church bells to me i like the sound of them the sound of the islamic call to prayer

00:27:04.680 doesn't do it for me it doesn't i don't wake up and go you know what i want to go to equinox i

00:27:10.480 just heard that doesn't make me go i just got to get to barry's boot camp i gotta go run i gotta

00:27:19.080 you know i gotta make money i gotta it's just like this weird it's you know the the cult the

00:27:25.500 culture is there's so much encapsulated in that and i get there's but it's church bells you can

00:27:32.120 hear church bells and not necessarily think like oh my god it's christianity's coming

00:27:38.660 it's already here that's who won that's who what year it is 2026 because why because jesus blah 0.86

00:27:45.980 blah blah we already know that it's not the muslim year it's not the jew year so can we act like it

00:27:54.020 can we simply go okay yeah okay maybe that was because it's not about christianity and being 0.86

00:28:00.780 strict and extreme the the beauty of christianity was that it allowed people to be less extreme you

00:28:06.780 can be a christian but not be going to church every you know five seconds whereas with these 0.99

00:28:15.580 other some of these other religions are a bit more extreme okay islam you gotta fucking go 0.96

00:28:21.300 a lot you gotta you can't just be um you know again if you're a moderate but being a moderate 0.98

00:28:28.900 christian is they're accepted a lot more at the at churches than a muslim who barely ever does 0.99

00:28:36.240 praise and doesn't participate and maybe i'm speaking on my ass i've never been to a mosque 0.98

00:28:40.560 i don't really have the the uh drive to go to a mosque or i've been to a synagogue i performed 0.98

00:28:47.620 it i had a horrible show once at a synagogue it made me it literally made me anti-semitic a little 0.98

00:28:52.080 bit even though i'm partly jewish but i was like this is fucked up and these people are pieces of 0.99

00:28:59.160 shit um because they were just like oh yeah yeah i was like i can't fuck them i've been kicked out 1.00

00:29:05.080 i actually got kicked out of a jewish golf course um for performing uh something that they didn't 1.00

00:29:10.240 like and all the jews got mad at me and i i think i might have even said free palestine that i just

00:29:17.440 fucking joke around that was way a long time ago by the way um but i i'm just saying that i've 0.87

00:29:24.860 pissed everybody off don't act like it's like oh he only pisses these guys off anybody who's 0.96

00:29:31.580 entrenched in and and so sure of themselves because what i'm sure of is that i want

00:29:39.260 a future for my family that is bright I want things to be safe I want people I want the poor 1.00

00:29:46.980 people and the loser people to get a life and get their shit together I don't want them to die 1.00

00:29:51.800 I want them to wake up and you know maybe I'd make jokes about them maybe saying that I want 1.00

00:29:56.680 them to die but I don't want them to I want them to snap out of it try at life especially the young 1.00

00:30:04.980 people who are losers you're 17 to 25 and you're a loser you can fix that you have a lot of time 1.00

00:30:12.340 but do something don't just oh well you know i chose communism and working at starbucks because 1.00

00:30:20.080 that's the stupidest thing ever first of all starbucks is a capitalist without capitalism 0.99

00:30:24.740 it wouldn't exist even communist countries want to have starbucks's and and fucking mcdonald's 1.00

00:30:31.500 and then they have to pay 0.99

00:30:33.260 the capitalist

00:30:35.540 country benefits

00:30:36.780 Russia for instance

00:30:39.780 they had to close all the McDonald's 1.00

00:30:41.300 and then they made them into some weird

00:30:43.760 fake state run McDonald's

00:30:45.560 that was kind of similar to McDonald's

00:30:48.060 I mean

00:30:49.200 because they want

00:30:51.700 McDonald's because nothing's better than

00:30:53.060 in foreign countries they love it

00:30:55.740 they love it

00:30:57.160 but then they go oh no America 0.99

00:38:19.780 I'm probably going to do that again, hopefully, if I have time, because maybe I just won't eat again for a while, because last night I ate a couple of the weird, they have super healthy snacks here, but I did eat a couple dark chocolate covered madjul dates that were filled with nut butter, which is like, it was like some super healthy almondy shit. 0.99

00:38:47.660 Anyway, it was fucking trash. 0.99

00:38:49.880 I shouldn't have eaten it. 1.00

00:38:51.920 And then you feel like shit. 0.99

00:38:53.480 Because there's nothing better than a feeling of the last meal was like 7 p.m. 0.99

00:38:57.720 and then you just go to sleep and you don't eat anything and then you wake up

00:39:01.940 and then you're like, it's such a good feeling.

00:39:04.180 You're not even hungry first thing in the morning after that.

00:39:06.260 You're like, I'm ready to get the day going.

00:39:08.760 I feel good. 0.90

00:39:09.600 When you eat at night, it's just a disgusting habit that I hate. 1.00

00:39:13.720 and they leave these fucking shits here 1.00

00:39:16.140 to fucking tempt me. 1.00

00:39:20.220 Asha Pops. 1.00

00:39:21.300 Popped water lily seeds.

00:39:23.120 I had these last night. 0.99

00:39:25.100 They kind of taste like plastic. 0.99

00:39:28.480 But the shows were pretty good.

00:39:39.040 People, lots of heckling, yelling out, idiots. 1.00

00:39:42.080 And it's sad for the other fans, because I have fans who drive like seven, eight hours, and then they're like, there was this Irish guy in Boston who was ready to beat the fuck out of one guy who was like, I fucking drove fucking six hours to be here to fucking kick your fucking head. 0.99

00:39:56.200 So, but I'm excited to go home for a couple days, and then I got shows in Texas, which is going to be really nice, because I haven't been doing shows in Texas for a minute, even though I have a place there. 0.98

00:40:34.020 month at vulcan but then i was you know we're like okay we've got to sell out these the actual

00:40:39.580 headline show because i was hosting those shows i wasn't headlining and it was kind of like a

00:40:44.080 different vibe and a lot of comics wouldn't want to host a show but when they're selling tickets

00:40:48.480 but i like it because it's a great way for me to work on new material i can go up for 10 minutes

00:40:54.300 come off stage look at my notes come back um you know do another new joke see what works it's really

00:41:01.520 great i'd like doing that i'm going to be doing another the men bank is in friends i don't know

00:41:05.640 if they're i think they want me to headline it though but which i don't understand so so it's

00:41:09.760 not really a ben bank of some friends it's just well it is you know it'd be cooler if i'm on stage

00:41:14.420 the whole time than just at the end for less time because if it's a ben bank is for anyway

00:41:20.600 october 20th in hollywood it's gonna be really cool i'm gonna be hanging out but

00:41:25.860 one thing i've been you know i'm addicted to zillow i i just constantly look at zillow at

00:41:32.320 rentals purchase you know i i don't own anything in america yet but i want i mean i really do want

00:41:37.920 to um own something but i don't know where because every place has pros and cons there's really no

00:41:45.980 perfect place unless i mean if okay if you're dead sober yeah there's like you pretty much

00:41:52.200 move anywhere i guess but i don't know if you're just if you you know if you want the low taxes

00:42:00.300 but then there's nothing to do like if you're a young person you want to go be out drinking then

00:42:04.320 you want to be here then you want to be in new york you want to be in la you want but then there's 0.95

00:42:09.100 shitty people and those oh fuck there's no i mean i think the real dream i mean the people who have 0.98

00:42:16.360 it made are people who are just like have been millionaires for like 200 years and they just go 0.99

00:42:20.640 and fucking live 50 minutes outside of a place i think that's the sweet spot 40 minutes to an hour

00:42:29.960 and 10 minutes outside of a major city is those are some good areas really beautiful countryside 0.98

00:42:36.840 like even if i were to move back to toronto part of me is like why would i live in toronto i'd

00:42:42.420 rather live an hour or two hours from toronto um because i don't know i kept keep looking back at

00:42:49.160 toronto i always look at real estate there and then i remember how bad everything's getting 0.98

00:42:52.820 and then i remember and i go ah fuck i can't that's fucked up i'm not doing that 0.93

00:42:56.640 but I miss Toronto I really we were just there it was so fun it's just always especially I mean 0.99

00:43:06.500 summer in Toronto summer in New York summer in these types of cities Chicago it's it's really

00:43:11.440 a special thing but Toronto is super special for me because I'm from there and it's my core audience

00:43:16.940 was created there and we sold those shows out insanely quick like three days notice and we

00:43:24.520 sold out three shows plus the fundraiser so four shows really it was amazing and i could have pushed

00:43:31.100 it to sell out five but i didn't want to push it because i want to save for when we really announce

00:43:40.120 something big because i've talked about this before i don't know if i ever released it but

00:43:44.440 i was supposed to do a show at coca-cola coliseum or whatever the fuck it's called enbridge center

00:43:51.520 it's called something it used to be the rico coliseum in toronto it's a small arena where the

00:43:56.700 toronto mar leagues play and i was going to announce a show there seven thousand seats

00:44:01.240 and it's a city-owned venue and guess what a week before we were about to announce this huge

00:44:06.580 announcement that we were going on sale in a couple weeks they message me and they go oh yeah

00:44:12.600 by the way uh we can't do it we don't want any they said this is them we don't want any

00:44:17.480 controversial acts quote unquote what is controversial i mean in some ways it's popular

00:44:22.960 in some ways it's um you know going against the orthodoxy the going that's really what i think

00:44:30.120 i'm doing i think i'm going against the extremes i think the immigration is extreme i think the 0.99

00:44:36.160 you know push towards islam and all this shit is extreme i think that's fucking extreme what 0.98

00:44:44.500 you think comedy me going on stage making me people laugh at the extreme things happening 0.99

00:44:50.040 in the world is extreme no it's not it's not so what was my point in that

00:44:57.400 comedy in the extremes baby that's not what it was before that extreme but you're not extreme

00:45:06.480 But there was before that. 1.00

00:45:10.760 Fuck, I need somebody else here to remember what the fuck. 1.00

00:45:14.620 Well, no, not bounce off. 1.00

00:45:16.240 Just remember what the fuck I'm saying. 0.98

00:45:18.380 Because I don't know. 0.99

00:45:20.400 That's what podcasts are.

00:45:22.360 Me looking at places to live?

00:45:23.980 I don't know.

00:45:24.440 But anyway, I don't know what the best place is to live.

00:45:27.120 Because if you're a comic, it's all about choosing a place where you can go and do spots.

00:45:31.520 Somewhere where there's a place to do spots.

00:45:33.500 it's a you know aka i live in my so if my hometown is let's just say austin texas you hope that you

00:45:41.360 can when you're home you're not on tour you can do spots but if you're truly touring a lot like i am

00:45:46.900 once you're home i'm like do i really want to go and do a spot i just performed you know like what

00:45:54.260 what was it one we did 16 shows in 11 days and each time it's an hour to an hour and 10 minutes

00:46:00.660 me on stage now I'm gonna go do a 15 minute spot I mean I'm I'm down I signed up last week they

00:46:09.040 didn't put me on I don't know why I signed up for Tuesday Wednesday they only they didn't send me

00:46:13.300 anything so um I just take it as it as it comes but that's my thing like where do I live Boston

00:46:20.640 I I know where I don't want to live that's for sure Boston no never couldn't do it I mean I

00:46:28.000 don't know the accent the people it's it's a little rough it's a little New York I could live

00:46:35.380 you know if I had infinity money I would maybe I would live in New York I could live in I'd live

00:46:41.240 in Jersey near New York I'd live in again infinity money and never have to leave the house maybe LA

00:46:52.160 just because it's so beautiful

00:46:53.500 even billionaires 0.99

00:46:55.320 everybody's fucking 0.96

00:46:56.580 leaving LA right now so 0.97

00:46:59.760 I don't know if that's

00:47:01.880 the move

00:47:02.980 Austin's still a great place

00:47:09.840 even if you're not doing a ton of mothership spots

00:47:12.040 or whatever like

00:47:13.000 it's a great place to just kind of chill out

00:47:15.520 and whatever but

00:47:16.680 I don't know

00:47:18.360 Texas is getting a little weird

00:47:21.360 with they're going like a little too far religiously right like it's not that i'm against

00:47:29.480 i look i think religion is a great thing especially christianity i think it's definitely

00:47:34.200 a pillar of our civilization but using it to vilify things that we kind of already know 1.00

00:47:44.580 aren't bad is fucking stupid and especially that's what one of the dumbest things about 1.00

00:47:49.320 the states is like the difference in laws state to state versus canada where it's like pretty much 1.00

00:47:53.420 the same everywhere whereas in the u.s it's like oh well if you do that you can do that in california

00:47:59.540 but it's not california here buddy it's like but it's the same country what why is it what why are

00:48:05.980 we over complicating things but all income tax should be gone i think are the are the states

00:48:13.360 with income tax really making they're ruining people's lives look at new york look at all the

00:48:18.140 billion billionaires leaving because of the income tax so what was the what was the value of that

00:48:23.820 the whole idea was they're going to tax rich people more but then rich people are like i'll

00:48:28.060 just fucking leave i'll just get the hell out of here so why low income i mean arizona is cool they

00:48:35.900 have 2.5 which is basically zero which i'm okay with that was a little like low percentages like 0.89

00:48:44.240 that but zero is better i mean trump talked about it i don't know if it would be great if you'd

00:48:49.760 somehow implemented no income tax i don't know if that would carry over to little old canadians

00:48:55.400 with a work visa like like me ben bankers h1 h1 bankers um but that would that would be great i

00:49:09.640 look i would move back to canada if they got rid of income tax completely they got rid of all these

00:49:18.080 weird like foreign asset mayors and other like foreign asset uh politicians where they go no i'm

00:49:26.760 running for the conservative body of ganana and i get it i'm not i'm not against that necessarily

00:49:35.840 but maybe i just don't prefer that personally but to each his own but my point is they clean that up

00:49:44.980 they clean the drivers the illegal drivers and i mean the sketchiest thing in canada is that so

00:49:53.200 in america you kind of can spot where there's like okay that guy that's scary that canada the 0.98

00:49:58.740 new thing is the indians drive around with bishnoi and bish and harata harana all these 0.67

00:50:06.880 fucking weird stickers on their car and bishnoi is like some gang in canada that's or in in india 0.95

00:50:13.040 that's moved to canada some indian gang shit doing extortions and so they can just openly say i'm 0.99

00:50:19.880 part of that gang and not gonna that should be immediately no i mean bare minimum ticketed 0.91

00:50:26.760 a large amount for using you know having an ak-47 decal on your car

00:50:32.340 it's still it's you know it's different than like my for my my mem you know my right 0.98

00:50:41.480 that's different than like in canada a fucking ak-47 with muslim indian writing 0.99

00:50:47.200 shit on it and fucking a map of some shitty province in pakistan 0.99

00:50:51.700 maybe i just don't like seeing that on the road maybe that makes me feel uncomfortable maybe that 1.00

00:50:59.260 makes me feel like it's not worth paying 60 percent of my income in taxes to live in a place

00:51:07.340 where you let the where the criminals run the country they can do whatever they want they don't

00:51:12.480 have to pay taxes they don't even have to be a citizen they don't have to do it they can just 1.00

00:51:16.280 drive around in their fucking car 1.00

00:51:18.280 with the ropes hanging off the front 1.00

00:51:20.320 with the Sikh ropes and their 1.00

00:51:22.080 kirpan 0.99

00:51:22.720 and stickers of guns

00:51:25.960 and gang signs all over the car

00:51:28.080 and that's okay

00:51:29.200 I don't want to pay for that

00:51:32.560 I don't want to contribute to a

00:51:34.480 society that's choosing to do that

00:51:36.280 so in a lot of ways I do

00:51:38.360 like Texas but then Texas

00:51:40.280 is getting this now

00:51:41.260 because 1.00

00:51:42.900 fucking they're letting the Indians 1.00

00:51:46.220 who aren't there it's it's frisco texas has become like brampton and it's just so it's and 1.00

00:51:54.400 do i have to be a gay it's so what oh you're saying racist uh that's racism it's not racist 0.97

00:52:01.680 it's i'm just curious what the fuck is going on sorry i'm not ben affleck and i have hundreds of 0.99

00:52:10.140 millions of dollars in the bank so i can afford if i had hundreds of millions of dollars in the 0.97

00:52:14.180 bank i wouldn't be doing this podcast right now if i had hundreds of millions of dollars in the

00:52:18.480 bank i would not be giving you my opinion on uh the uh pakistani decals on cars on hyundais in

00:52:27.800 brampton i would just simply go let him let him be let him be i got enough money to keep my family

00:52:36.160 safe for a good you know 400 years so you guys figure it out but then that's the thing if society 0.98

00:52:42.140 collapses money's meaningless then that's it and then all the rich people they're fucked and 0.99

00:52:46.660 everything's fucked and we're fucked if all the rich people disappear we're done they're the only 1.00

00:52:51.320 people holding this country together or any country this myth that oh no poor people are the 1.00

00:52:56.760 backbone of america doing what jobs that rich people fought up and told them to do instead of

00:53:03.260 i'm rich you do this i'll pay you to fucking go like this and that's how everything was built not 0.96

00:53:09.620 the poor people building it have no idea what the fuck they were doing all the pictures of 0.99

00:53:13.640 look at those poor guys sitting on the when they were building the empire state building and it 0.99

00:53:18.320 lost their lives yeah and it was a rich guy thought of the whole fucking thing and paid 0.98

00:53:22.160 the architect to design it and it was so it was rich people not poor people poor people don't 0.99

00:53:44.420 on both sides fighting for the the brains of these people for the minds of these people
