I 24 00:01:42,796 --> 00:01:44,516 Speaker 1: think they would just look like us, but they don't. 25 00:01:44,716 --> 00:01:47,236 Speaker 1: They look better. They look like they have healthcare. Episode 26 00:01:47,236 --> 00:01:53,996 Speaker 1: one Montreal, we're gonna I think calves are this way? 27 00:01:54,796 --> 00:02:02,396 Speaker 1: See that? Oh my god, freezing. Why did we come 28 00:02:02,396 --> 00:02:09,556 Speaker 1: to Montreal in the dead of winter. Well, because most 29 00:02:09,596 --> 00:02:13,516 Speaker 1: travel shows would come here in Springer's fall. Yeah, I 30 00:02:13,516 --> 00:02:16,156 Speaker 1: mean you're talking to someone who flew in from Los Angeles. 31 00:02:16,436 --> 00:02:18,436 Speaker 1: I have a bag with my Burgenstocks handles in it 32 00:02:18,436 --> 00:02:20,356 Speaker 1: because that's what I was wearing this morning. But I 33 00:02:20,396 --> 00:02:23,516 Speaker 1: wanted like authentic Montreal man, Like I think, like this 34 00:02:23,916 --> 00:02:29,196 Speaker 1: what separates the Canadian wheat from the Canadian chap. So 35 00:02:29,236 --> 00:02:32,676 Speaker 1: we need to establish on this ride that your TV writer, 36 00:02:33,356 --> 00:02:39,716 Speaker 1: I am a like audio journalist person and we're both single. 37 00:02:39,876 --> 00:02:42,356 Speaker 1: We're on the wrong set of thirty five. We're looking 38 00:02:42,396 --> 00:02:45,796 Speaker 1: for connection, creative meaning a hand to hold in this mad, 39 00:02:45,836 --> 00:02:48,676 Speaker 1: mad world. My only plan was to get on a 40 00:02:48,716 --> 00:02:52,356 Speaker 1: plane and show up. It's rad to see you, and 41 00:02:52,356 --> 00:02:54,356 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have fun. So basically I need 42 00:02:54,396 --> 00:02:56,956 Speaker 1: to do this travel pod thing. We also have some 43 00:02:56,996 --> 00:03:00,316 Speaker 1: people were going to meet, very excited, and I would 44 00:03:00,356 --> 00:03:04,236 Speaker 1: like to hopefully insinuate herself into someone's home to have dinner, 45 00:03:04,236 --> 00:03:05,956 Speaker 1: because I feel like that's the real way to meet them. 46 00:03:06,116 --> 00:03:08,556 Speaker 1: When you say it like that, I can't imagine anyone 47 00:03:08,596 --> 00:03:11,716 Speaker 1: else turning, anyone turning us down. I'd like to insinuate 48 00:03:11,756 --> 00:03:15,716 Speaker 1: myself into your hole. Um, I'm gonna switch Mike's, so 49 00:03:15,876 --> 00:03:22,796 Speaker 1: don't say anything interesting.

We can watch and look kind 55 00:03:41,196 --> 00:03:46,436 Speaker 1: of laugh because we're across the border, but we're the same. 56 00:03:47,156 --> 00:03:50,476 Speaker 1: Like you might even think I'm from Jersey. I thought 57 00:03:50,476 --> 00:03:53,796 Speaker 1: you were from Jersey. What I mean, that's what an 58 00:03:53,836 --> 00:03:59,196 Speaker 1: anglophone Quebecer sounds like.

Well, 63 00:04:12,676 --> 00:04:15,756 Speaker 1: since I have three teenagers, I don't talk much to 64 00:04:15,796 --> 00:04:19,796 Speaker 1: them because they're they're teenagers. But here you'll notice all 65 00:04:19,836 --> 00:04:23,836 Speaker 1: the signs that we have around. They're all French. But 66 00:04:24,076 --> 00:04:28,676 Speaker 1: if you notice, there will be some participate in English. 67 00:04:28,716 --> 00:04:32,356 Speaker 1: But they have to be. This is a law. A 68 00:04:32,596 --> 00:04:37,996 Speaker 1: third of the size. We've got the office d lallon 69 00:04:38,436 --> 00:04:43,196 Speaker 1: fan the French police.

I was like, I 73 00:04:53,756 --> 00:04:56,956 Speaker 1: think forty nine fifty one. It was like every all 74 00:04:56,996 --> 00:05:00,236 Speaker 1: the the head offices and companies just up and left, 75 00:05:00,796 --> 00:05:06,676 Speaker 1: and the wealth left, and so what remained was nice, beautiful, 76 00:05:06,796 --> 00:05:11,796 Speaker 1: easy to live, lovable Montreal. This is it. My tour 77 00:05:11,876 --> 00:05:15,316 Speaker 1: has had the car. I don't, but I'm uber, Daryl, 78 00:05:16,196 --> 00:05:24,836 Speaker 1: I thank you. Watch yourself in the eyes. You're welcome 79 00:05:24,876 --> 00:05:27,116 Speaker 1: to grab my arm here for these icy regions. Here's 80 00:05:27,116 --> 00:05:28,916 Speaker 1: where it gets treacherous, though, because now it's snow on 81 00:05:28,956 --> 00:05:31,716 Speaker 1: top of ice. I think you just have to walk 82 00:05:31,756 --> 00:05:36,436 Speaker 1: like an old person your entire walk. I just want 83 00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:39,036 Speaker 1: to point out that a small child ran past us 84 00:05:39,076 --> 00:05:43,956 Speaker 1: like she was just walking on grass, just fully ran 85 00:05:44,156 --> 00:05:47,476 Speaker 1: past us while we take our old bones down this street. 86 00:05:51,716 --> 00:05:54,156 Speaker 1: In my high school yearbook caption, I wrote a message 87 00:05:54,156 --> 00:05:58,756 Speaker 1: to my unrequited crush. It said, dear E, our artists 88 00:05:58,756 --> 00:06:02,116 Speaker 1: loft in Canada waits. I'd never even been to Canada 89 00:06:02,596 --> 00:06:05,076 Speaker 1: or a loft, but somehow I'd gotten this idea that 90 00:06:05,076 --> 00:06:08,516 Speaker 1: it was a place for culture, romance, an affordable real estate, 91 00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:12,756 Speaker 1: three things I still long for. He's married now with 92 00:06:12,796 --> 00:06:15,676 Speaker 1: two kids, but at least I made it to Canada. 93 00:06:16,516 --> 00:06:19,956 Speaker 1: I'll be it in the dead of winter with my friend. 94 00:06:20,196 --> 00:06:23,316 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's a cat cafe ten feet from 95 00:06:23,356 --> 00:06:26,036 Speaker 1: our door. That's insane. Danielle and I drop off our 96 00:06:26,036 --> 00:06:28,996 Speaker 1: bags and head to the Museum of Fine Arts. As 97 00:06:29,036 --> 00:06:30,796 Speaker 1: good a place as I need to learn about Montreal's 98 00:06:30,796 --> 00:06:33,636 Speaker 1: creative roots. So it was a city where it was 99 00:06:33,676 --> 00:06:36,916 Speaker 1: like much more important to be a sculptor than a doctor. 100 00:06:37,076 --> 00:06:39,556 Speaker 1: That is really cool, whatever that is. They saw it 101 00:06:39,676 --> 00:06:41,756 Speaker 1: last time I was here. My name is Heather O'Neill, 102 00:06:41,876 --> 00:06:44,116 Speaker 1: and I'm a local Montreal author. These look kind of 103 00:06:44,116 --> 00:06:46,396 Speaker 1: like Jacometti's a little bit right, yeah, like with the 104 00:06:46,516 --> 00:06:50,796 Speaker 1: skinny elongated limbs. This is Louis Arschambau. He has sculptures 105 00:06:50,796 --> 00:06:53,596 Speaker 1: and parks too. I believe this is like such a style. 106 00:06:54,276 --> 00:06:56,276 Speaker 1: I always liked it, but my dad would try and 107 00:06:56,556 --> 00:06:59,876 Speaker 1: show me like this is crap. I love the idea 108 00:06:59,876 --> 00:07:01,756 Speaker 1: of been bringing you to all these works of public 109 00:07:01,836 --> 00:07:04,396 Speaker 1: art just to point out how horrible they are, terrible 110 00:07:05,476 --> 00:07:09,036 Speaker 1: phony fony. So we're making our way into the Quebec 111 00:07:09,476 --> 00:07:12,716 Speaker 1: Arts Pavilion. You're not a historian. You're not responsible to 112 00:07:12,716 --> 00:07:14,916 Speaker 1: explain all this to us. If you read anything you 113 00:07:15,036 --> 00:07:19,596 Speaker 1: encounter the Quiet Revolution? Is there a way to summarize 114 00:07:19,596 --> 00:07:23,036 Speaker 1: that pretty quickly? The kind of what that was? All? Right? Here, 115 00:07:23,076 --> 00:07:28,316 Speaker 1: I go, okay, we'll just go to the sixties when 116 00:07:28,316 --> 00:07:31,436 Speaker 1: it started all the sort of good jobs in Montreal, 117 00:07:31,516 --> 00:07:34,996 Speaker 1: and all the executive jobs were held by English speaking people, 118 00:07:35,556 --> 00:07:39,276 Speaker 1: and a lot of the companies were they were all 119 00:07:39,276 --> 00:07:44,076 Speaker 1: owned by anglophones and they would only give English speaking 120 00:07:44,556 --> 00:07:48,956 Speaker 1: citizens the jobs. And then what happened was there began 121 00:07:49,036 --> 00:07:54,276 Speaker 1: to be a cultural movement where they decided we're just 122 00:07:54,356 --> 00:08:01,276 Speaker 1: going to overthrow this predicament we're in so French class. Yeah, 123 00:08:01,436 --> 00:08:04,196 Speaker 1: the lower class Francophones were like, this is just enough. 124 00:08:04,516 --> 00:08:08,236 Speaker 1: One of the big movements was they made education all 125 00:08:08,276 --> 00:08:10,636 Speaker 1: the universities free, So you ended up with this like 126 00:08:10,756 --> 00:08:13,796 Speaker 1: massive class of young people who came from working class 127 00:08:13,836 --> 00:08:19,196 Speaker 1: backgrounds but were incredibly educated and so obviously that created 128 00:08:19,276 --> 00:08:23,796 Speaker 1: like radical thinking. So we're in this permanent exhibit called 129 00:08:23,796 --> 00:08:26,396 Speaker 1: the Age of the Manifesto. Do you recognize any of 130 00:08:26,436 --> 00:08:29,316 Speaker 1: these Oh, yeah, this is real pal who Yeah, is 131 00:08:29,396 --> 00:08:33,756 Speaker 1: sort of our Jackson Pollock. He's incredibly well regarded in Quebec. 132 00:08:35,076 --> 00:08:38,356 Speaker 1: Even someone myself came from as lower class as you 133 00:08:38,356 --> 00:08:40,596 Speaker 1: get in the city, I still went to McGill University 134 00:08:40,676 --> 00:08:43,636 Speaker 1: and had like a top rate education and then was, 135 00:08:43,996 --> 00:08:45,676 Speaker 1: you know, kind of thrown back on the street corner. 136 00:08:45,756 --> 00:08:48,956 Speaker 1: I was like, what do I do? I've just read 137 00:08:48,996 --> 00:08:51,676 Speaker 1: a lot of Henry James. So there's this kind of 138 00:08:51,716 --> 00:08:55,516 Speaker 1: irony and there's a humor when you're able to suddenly 139 00:08:55,956 --> 00:09:01,276 Speaker 1: talk about your odd, down and out predicament, but in 140 00:09:01,316 --> 00:09:07,556 Speaker 1: the language of m and so then it becomes everything 141 00:09:07,636 --> 00:09:09,796 Speaker 1: kind of becomes like tongue in cheek an absurd and 142 00:09:09,876 --> 00:09:15,716 Speaker 1: you kind of have this like Beckett, like feeling well, 143 00:09:15,716 --> 00:09:19,436 Speaker 1: thanks so much for meeting us today. That's what's what's 144 00:09:19,476 --> 00:09:23,116 Speaker 1: going on tonight? What are you up to? Oh um? 145 00:09:24,036 --> 00:09:28,876 Speaker 1: I have like a deadline. I'm asking because we're kind 146 00:09:28,916 --> 00:09:32,316 Speaker 1: of trying to get invited to a dinner party, because 147 00:09:32,716 --> 00:09:34,516 Speaker 1: it's a place where you can genuinely get to know 148 00:09:34,676 --> 00:09:37,276 Speaker 1: people instead of just being tourists. You know, I would 149 00:09:37,356 --> 00:09:39,596 Speaker 1: love that, but I have like a Chihuahua who is 150 00:09:40,236 --> 00:09:43,676 Speaker 1: aggressive towards the stranger dogs, but it would just over 151 00:09:44,276 --> 00:09:49,116 Speaker 1: overwhelm him. I think, Okay, I'm sorry, like it seems rude. 152 00:09:49,116 --> 00:09:53,276 Speaker 1: I know everyone Canadians are nice, but apparently they're no. 153 00:09:53,396 --> 00:09:56,156 Speaker 1: But if you bring people by dogs going to bite someone, okay, 154 00:09:56,196 --> 00:09:57,556 Speaker 1: that would not be a good outcome. But you have 155 00:09:57,596 --> 00:10:04,476 Speaker 1: healthcare for those people. What is your dog's name, Hamlet. 156 00:10:11,516 --> 00:10:14,076 Speaker 1: I don't spend as much time thinking about how I'm 157 00:10:14,116 --> 00:10:17,116 Speaker 1: going to die alone when I'm traveling, but I get 158 00:10:17,116 --> 00:10:19,436 Speaker 1: to travel with someone I love. Oh see, I love 159 00:10:19,476 --> 00:10:21,716 Speaker 1: you too, and also we get to eat as much 160 00:10:21,756 --> 00:10:25,436 Speaker 1: everything there. I love you too. Mine's a lot of 161 00:10:25,476 --> 00:10:29,236 Speaker 1: therapy bills behind that you're so white. I love it. 162 00:10:29,356 --> 00:10:31,756 Speaker 1: It's nice. It's nice to kind of it is nice 163 00:10:31,756 --> 00:10:35,796 Speaker 1: to travel with. Buddy. This is Arion Saint Laurent. Thank you. 164 00:10:37,196 --> 00:10:41,836 Speaker 1: When my last radio show ended fairly abruptly, I was 165 00:10:41,836 --> 00:10:44,076 Speaker 1: a little concerned about your mental health.

I can never remember who founded Montreal, 179 00:11:48,236 --> 00:11:51,476 Speaker 1: whether it was Samuel de Champlain or Jacquet, but what 180 00:11:51,556 --> 00:11:55,316 Speaker 1: a fucking idiot like I mean, we're only a six 181 00:11:55,396 --> 00:12:01,076 Speaker 1: hour drive from New York that's comedian writer actress Trana Winter. 182 00:12:02,116 --> 00:12:05,036 Speaker 1: We're at a restaurant called Lawrence, which is a fitting name. 183 00:12:05,636 --> 00:12:07,636 Speaker 1: If this place was a human, it'd be that fancy 184 00:12:07,676 --> 00:12:12,116 Speaker 1: kid who dresses like a carefree hemian Lawrence. I try 185 00:12:12,236 --> 00:12:15,476 Speaker 1: and fail to tuck a napkin into my cashmere turtleneck. 186 00:12:15,916 --> 00:12:20,036 Speaker 1: Montreal winters are not glamorous. It's really hard to be glamorous. 187 00:12:20,236 --> 00:12:23,876 Speaker 1: Sorry to be glamorous, like crampons on your boots.

Yeah. The other thing 194 00:12:53,716 --> 00:12:56,556 Speaker 1: that I love about it is just there's just this 195 00:12:56,716 --> 00:13:00,916 Speaker 1: sexy vibe and Montreal this pulse, this energy. But I 196 00:13:00,996 --> 00:13:04,476 Speaker 1: don't fully know how to articulate, but it's here. I've 197 00:13:04,476 --> 00:13:07,036 Speaker 1: been hornys it's the minute I live. There is this 198 00:13:07,156 --> 00:13:10,756 Speaker 1: sensuality to it, There is this kind of verve, and 199 00:13:10,836 --> 00:13:13,236 Speaker 1: I don't I just think like, oh, it's European, which 200 00:13:13,276 --> 00:13:16,036 Speaker 1: is my catchall term for any kind of these. That's 201 00:13:16,276 --> 00:13:18,716 Speaker 1: part of it. I think part of it too is 202 00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:22,196 Speaker 1: just it is a diverse city, you know, but I 203 00:13:22,196 --> 00:13:25,036 Speaker 1: don't think that's special anymore. That's sort of seems to 204 00:13:25,436 --> 00:13:27,956 Speaker 1: is that when I travel alone as a black woman, 205 00:13:28,196 --> 00:13:31,316 Speaker 1: I feel like that's something that I notice right away 206 00:13:31,316 --> 00:13:33,436 Speaker 1: if I feel comfortable or not right, and there are 207 00:13:33,436 --> 00:13:37,116 Speaker 1: still some places where I just don't right for sure 208 00:13:37,196 --> 00:13:40,196 Speaker 1: at all. Thank you on top you have a little 209 00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:43,396 Speaker 1: salad of fresh hurricane Billy gals and coins.

Well, the 211 00:13:47,516 --> 00:13:49,636 Speaker 1: things that I like about it, though, I feel like 212 00:13:49,636 --> 00:13:54,356 Speaker 1: you're trying here, Like there's a cultural identity that people 213 00:13:54,356 --> 00:13:57,236 Speaker 1: are not willing to just roll over and let things happen. Yeah, 214 00:13:57,276 --> 00:13:59,756 Speaker 1: that's true, especially on the French side. French side is 215 00:13:59,876 --> 00:14:04,156 Speaker 1: very much about protecting their culture. Actually just started to 216 00:14:04,356 --> 00:14:07,596 Speaker 1: do comedy in French because I am bilingual. Is there 217 00:14:07,596 --> 00:14:10,676 Speaker 1: different things that French people find funny? In Quebec Actually 218 00:14:10,716 --> 00:14:15,396 Speaker 1: there's something called Le Calm, which is comedy school. Basically. Okay, 219 00:14:15,876 --> 00:14:20,516 Speaker 1: like nine percent of French or Francophone comedians in Quebec 220 00:14:20,876 --> 00:14:24,236 Speaker 1: have gone through this school class one is like did 221 00:14:24,276 --> 00:14:27,476 Speaker 1: you ever notice, right, yeah, freshman year, and so there 222 00:14:27,556 --> 00:14:30,916 Speaker 1: is kind of like this uniformity in terms of comedy style. 223 00:14:31,516 --> 00:14:35,836 Speaker 1: So also out of necessity, there is this Quebec star system, 224 00:14:35,836 --> 00:14:39,996 Speaker 1: like Quebec has its own Hollywood that doesn't exist anywhere 225 00:14:39,996 --> 00:14:42,876 Speaker 1: else because it can't exist anywhere else, it doesn't translate. 226 00:14:43,316 --> 00:14:45,876 Speaker 1: But now that I've started performing in French, it's like, 227 00:14:45,956 --> 00:14:48,836 Speaker 1: that's become my new dream. You're gonna be a part of, 228 00:14:48,876 --> 00:14:52,956 Speaker 1: like the Quebec Star system. I'm like that. My dream 229 00:14:52,996 --> 00:14:54,876 Speaker 1: has always been to make it just so I can 230 00:14:54,916 --> 00:14:57,836 Speaker 1: be a hasban. What's it called if you never did 231 00:14:57,836 --> 00:15:00,276 Speaker 1: anything to be washed up? I never was, like I 232 00:15:00,676 --> 00:15:14,916 Speaker 1: never Yeah, you're not as you're never gu So I 233 00:15:14,956 --> 00:15:19,756 Speaker 1: got divorced five years ago and I met my ex 234 00:15:19,836 --> 00:15:23,036 Speaker 1: husband on an internet comic book forum in the late nineties. Wow, 235 00:15:23,316 --> 00:15:24,796 Speaker 1: and he was like my best friend and he was 236 00:15:24,876 --> 00:15:27,116 Speaker 1: part of my memory and my heart and I lost 237 00:15:27,156 --> 00:15:31,116 Speaker 1: that and I lost all of my confidence.

You 337 00:22:06,836 --> 00:22:08,756 Speaker 1: use your body in different ways in such a treme 338 00:22:08,796 --> 00:22:12,196 Speaker 1: tempers and so I'm wondering if that contributes to you 339 00:22:12,316 --> 00:22:16,156 Speaker 1: seeing certain types of ailments are over and over again, 340 00:22:16,436 --> 00:22:20,116 Speaker 1: or what I see a lot of is definitely low 341 00:22:20,156 --> 00:22:24,876 Speaker 1: back and more low back tension which crawls up front 342 00:22:24,916 --> 00:22:28,396 Speaker 1: because we're huddled, you know, we're trying to keep ourselves warm, 343 00:22:28,396 --> 00:22:32,396 Speaker 1: We're trying to keep centered so that we can navigate 344 00:22:32,436 --> 00:22:34,516 Speaker 1: the ice and the snow and the slush and the 345 00:22:34,556 --> 00:22:37,476 Speaker 1: puddles and the roads. It's really the march of the 346 00:22:37,476 --> 00:22:39,356 Speaker 1: penguins in the winter here, I mean, and you you're 347 00:22:39,356 --> 00:22:40,636 Speaker 1: going to see that today, and your guys are going 348 00:22:40,676 --> 00:22:42,796 Speaker 1: to giggle to yourselves and you say, yeah, there's the penguins. Yeah, 349 00:22:42,796 --> 00:22:44,956 Speaker 1: I see them, you know. And it's because we're so 350 00:22:44,996 --> 00:22:55,236 Speaker 1: afraid to fall like a bird on the wire, like 351 00:22:55,356 --> 00:23:00,316 Speaker 1: a drunk in the mid night choir. I have tried 352 00:23:01,716 --> 00:23:12,556 Speaker 1: in my way to be free. Thank you. Well, this 353 00:23:12,636 --> 00:23:22,596 Speaker 1: is it? Just a gray Stone one two three triplex, 354 00:23:24,876 --> 00:23:30,036 Speaker 1: pretty non the script, you know, he's sang about religion 355 00:23:30,156 --> 00:23:36,396 Speaker 1: and sex and poets and history, and it's weird just 356 00:23:36,516 --> 00:23:40,316 Speaker 1: to see a gray house on a little park with 357 00:23:40,396 --> 00:23:49,396 Speaker 1: a Honda Civic parked out front of it. I'm not 358 00:23:49,476 --> 00:23:52,356 Speaker 1: really sure why I thought it was so important to 359 00:23:52,436 --> 00:24:02,996 Speaker 1: come here. All right, it's icy, it's cold, and I 360 00:24:03,036 --> 00:24:10,716 Speaker 1: think that's the bigel place he would go to. It's 361 00:24:10,796 --> 00:24:15,596 Speaker 1: kind of strange to realize how powerful and healing touch 362 00:24:15,676 --> 00:24:19,516 Speaker 1: can be because I don't I don't date, I don't 363 00:24:19,596 --> 00:24:23,156 Speaker 1: kind of like engage in that way anymore. And so 364 00:24:25,116 --> 00:24:28,556 Speaker 1: I was alone for thirteen years after my divorce and 365 00:24:28,676 --> 00:24:31,836 Speaker 1: I met I met someone. What I came to understand 366 00:24:31,916 --> 00:24:35,956 Speaker 1: about myself is what stops me from dating is how 367 00:24:35,996 --> 00:24:39,556 Speaker 1: well can I hide my wounds? Right? So, my you know, 368 00:24:39,596 --> 00:24:42,756 Speaker 1: current partner and I we decided are the philosophy of 369 00:24:42,756 --> 00:24:47,516 Speaker 1: our relationship is no masks, full disclosure. So I think 370 00:24:47,556 --> 00:24:50,876 Speaker 1: it's about really deciding to have to have that level 371 00:24:50,876 --> 00:24:53,036 Speaker 1: of honesty within yourself and the trusting. But when you've 372 00:24:53,036 --> 00:25:00,756 Speaker 1: had trauma, trust is so fragile. Yeah. So, so one 373 00:25:00,796 --> 00:25:05,596 Speaker 1: of my my big trauma is that my mom left. 374 00:25:07,996 --> 00:25:10,316 Speaker 1: She she dropped us off at my grandparents' house for 375 00:25:10,356 --> 00:25:15,196 Speaker 1: a weekend and then never came back. And the person 376 00:25:15,236 --> 00:25:18,036 Speaker 1: who's supposed to love you and conditionally leaves, and that 377 00:25:18,116 --> 00:25:24,196 Speaker 1: will mess you up well because you're gonna always asking 378 00:25:24,196 --> 00:25:27,396 Speaker 1: yourself what did I do wrong? Right? And will I 379 00:25:27,436 --> 00:25:29,676 Speaker 1: do something wrong again? But what will I do to 380 00:25:29,716 --> 00:25:33,836 Speaker 1: make someone leave? Because the assumption is that somebody will 381 00:25:33,876 --> 00:25:41,036 Speaker 1: always leave a lot of tension in your calves. Yeah, 382 00:25:41,036 --> 00:25:45,036 Speaker 1: but you spoke of your herniated disks so often warm 383 00:25:45,116 --> 00:25:46,476 Speaker 1: that up for you. So when you go out and 384 00:25:46,556 --> 00:25:49,556 Speaker 1: do the March of the Penguins, you feel a little 385 00:25:49,636 --> 00:25:55,116 Speaker 1: more ease in your body. Thank you, Lujenie. What are 386 00:25:55,156 --> 00:25:58,796 Speaker 1: you up to this weekend?

I just feel like 396 00:26:39,716 --> 00:26:41,356 Speaker 1: if that was in America, there would be there would 397 00:26:41,356 --> 00:26:44,156 Speaker 1: be an amusement park around, like a Suzanne roller coaster, 398 00:26:44,476 --> 00:26:48,356 Speaker 1: like a Leonard Wood. Yeah, they would be selling like 399 00:26:48,476 --> 00:26:52,276 Speaker 1: my blue raincoats or something for toddler's right.

So right now we're in the 493 00:33:10,596 --> 00:33:14,036 Speaker 1: not Cadam the Bonsacle Chapel. It's the oldest in one 494 00:33:14,076 --> 00:33:16,356 Speaker 1: of the oldest churches in Montreal looked dates to the 495 00:33:16,396 --> 00:33:18,876 Speaker 1: nineteenth they called the Sailors Church. And my eye is 496 00:33:18,916 --> 00:33:24,436 Speaker 1: going immediately to these wonderful boats that are hanging with candles. Yeah, 497 00:33:24,516 --> 00:33:27,236 Speaker 1: there's even a cargo ship with containers on it. Oh, yeah, 498 00:33:27,276 --> 00:33:29,076 Speaker 1: that is a cargo ship. And so they have two 499 00:33:29,116 --> 00:33:31,876 Speaker 1: candles in each of them, green candles, like I kind 500 00:33:31,876 --> 00:33:33,916 Speaker 1: of want to. I'm not going to steal them, but 501 00:33:34,076 --> 00:33:37,116 Speaker 1: I would hope not. But they feel like someone can't 502 00:33:37,116 --> 00:33:39,596 Speaker 1: we instagram it and then start a shop that sells them. 503 00:33:39,916 --> 00:33:43,996 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel even bad taking pictures and churches. No, okay, 504 00:33:44,316 --> 00:33:47,156 Speaker 1: you know a harbor town, it's considered usually a honky 505 00:33:47,196 --> 00:33:49,956 Speaker 1: punk like red light district and certainly in the Prohibition. 506 00:33:50,036 --> 00:33:53,036 Speaker 1: Montreal serve that role to this day, maybe with Americans. 507 00:33:53,516 --> 00:33:55,996 Speaker 1: But there's so many churches. It's interesting that there's this. 508 00:33:56,276 --> 00:33:59,636 Speaker 1: Caebecers are interesting. On the census, they all still fell 509 00:33:59,676 --> 00:34:02,796 Speaker 1: out that they're Roman Catholic and Quebeca has the lowest 510 00:34:02,836 --> 00:34:06,796 Speaker 1: church attendants in Canada.

They 512 00:34:09,436 --> 00:34:11,556 Speaker 1: may have been for grandma's funeral a while back or 513 00:34:11,596 --> 00:34:14,036 Speaker 1: maybe not, or you know, but no one does baptisms. 514 00:34:14,076 --> 00:34:16,876 Speaker 1: People don't get married in the church. M Are there 515 00:34:16,876 --> 00:34:19,596 Speaker 1: any other facets of this chapel or that really that 516 00:34:19,676 --> 00:34:21,476 Speaker 1: you're that you like or do you want to point out, well, 517 00:34:21,476 --> 00:34:23,716 Speaker 1: we have to light a candle for someone, Oh my god, 518 00:34:23,956 --> 00:34:29,596 Speaker 1: actually it should Okay, we could light a candle for 519 00:34:29,716 --> 00:34:33,236 Speaker 1: back pain to go away.

I just felt a pang of 524 00:34:50,756 --> 00:34:54,276 Speaker 1: Catholic guilt I when I lit that candle. I did 525 00:34:54,276 --> 00:34:59,156 Speaker 1: not light the candle for Danielle's back. I lit the 526 00:34:59,156 --> 00:35:03,436 Speaker 1: candle because we need to find a place to eat tonight. 527 00:35:03,916 --> 00:35:05,516 Speaker 1: Because the whole point of this show was for us 528 00:35:05,596 --> 00:35:08,036 Speaker 1: to learn about the town, but then then get into 529 00:35:08,076 --> 00:35:11,716 Speaker 1: someone's home to kind of have a true authentic experience. 530 00:35:12,076 --> 00:35:14,476 Speaker 1: And so far, um, we've had a lot of people 531 00:35:14,516 --> 00:35:16,836 Speaker 1: are very friendly.

We did a lot, 581 00:40:05,796 --> 00:40:07,956 Speaker 1: but we were talking about coming as we're coming into 582 00:40:07,996 --> 00:40:10,796 Speaker 1: the city, kind of like our love lives and romance 583 00:40:10,836 --> 00:40:13,276 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. And I think I'm much more 584 00:40:13,356 --> 00:40:14,796 Speaker 1: likely to fall in love with a place than I 585 00:40:14,836 --> 00:40:20,076 Speaker 1: am with a person. That's interesting there, it is, there's 586 00:40:20,076 --> 00:40:23,836 Speaker 1: a city that you love. We're looking at the downtown, 587 00:40:23,956 --> 00:40:27,196 Speaker 1: the Saint Lawrence River. Look at Letter Cohen down there. 588 00:40:28,436 --> 00:40:31,396 Speaker 1: You see him. Yeah, there's literally a mural of letter 589 00:40:31,476 --> 00:40:34,236 Speaker 1: going down there. Oh my god, I thought you saw 590 00:40:34,276 --> 00:40:38,276 Speaker 1: an operation when I was at that Letter Cohne house, 591 00:40:38,476 --> 00:40:42,316 Speaker 1: which I honestly did meet a member of Arcade Fire. 592 00:40:42,396 --> 00:40:45,356 Speaker 1: You have to believe me. I don't. But it's fine. 593 00:40:45,716 --> 00:40:47,916 Speaker 1: I'll play you the tape later if you need that 594 00:40:47,956 --> 00:40:51,916 Speaker 1: story to get through the weekend. That's fine being there, honestly, Like, 595 00:40:51,956 --> 00:40:53,796 Speaker 1: I'm glad I saw the house, but actually the fact 596 00:40:53,876 --> 00:40:56,636 Speaker 1: that it was really not that exciting an anticlimactic in 597 00:40:56,676 --> 00:40:59,196 Speaker 1: the sense that it was just someone's home. This is 598 00:40:59,196 --> 00:41:01,516 Speaker 1: gonna sound corny, but obviously I've been thinking a lot 599 00:41:01,516 --> 00:41:04,436 Speaker 1: about like being an artist or being more creative with 600 00:41:04,476 --> 00:41:09,436 Speaker 1: my old show ending, and there's no magical properties to it, 601 00:41:09,476 --> 00:41:12,076 Speaker 1: Like even Leonard Cohen just lived in a house and 602 00:41:12,516 --> 00:41:16,516 Speaker 1: bought bananas, And it's more about just doing the work 603 00:41:16,676 --> 00:41:20,116 Speaker 1: and getting it into the world, you know. But it's 604 00:41:20,156 --> 00:41:22,036 Speaker 1: not like me living a certain way will make me 605 00:41:22,276 --> 00:41:25,156 Speaker 1: Leonard Cohen or something that's always been the key though 606 00:41:25,196 --> 00:41:27,236 Speaker 1: you know that well. I mean, I'm just pretending to 607 00:41:27,316 --> 00:41:36,196 Speaker 1: learn it now for the show. I think it is 608 00:41:36,236 --> 00:41:39,876 Speaker 1: crazy that Leonard Cohen is staring directly at us. I 609 00:41:39,876 --> 00:41:41,556 Speaker 1: think it's crazy that you thought I was talking about 610 00:41:41,556 --> 00:41:45,836 Speaker 1: a ghost. Honestly, we didn't go over this, but marijuana 611 00:41:45,876 --> 00:41:48,476 Speaker 1: is legal here now and last night did run pretty long, 612 00:41:50,596 --> 00:41:54,396 Speaker 1: no comment. You know what I think about when I 613 00:41:54,396 --> 00:42:00,356 Speaker 1: look in the skyline now, boyash Boy, you are not 614 00:42:00,396 --> 00:42:04,996 Speaker 1: only cheating voyage boy, but you're singing it really poorly. 615 00:42:05,236 --> 00:42:12,196 Speaker 1: Boyash Boy, I'm gonna walk that way. I feel free here. No, 616 00:42:14,836 --> 00:42:17,116 Speaker 1: I think we'll just fade that the real song into 617 00:42:17,156 --> 00:42:21,876 Speaker 1: my singing and people won't notice it. Fun Boy thinks 618 00:42:21,876 --> 00:42:26,036 Speaker 1: you're singing a totally different song. I think it's only 619 00:42:26,036 --> 00:43:10,636 Speaker 1: going to try to find the lead producer on this. 620 00:43:10,876 --> 00:43:14,236 Speaker 1: The pilot episode of Not Lost was the talented Crystal Duhaime. 621 00:43:14,756 --> 00:43:17,356 Speaker 1: The show was also produced and written by Me Brendon 622 00:43:17,396 --> 00:43:22,076 Speaker 1: Francis Newnham.
