0:00:15.316 --> 0:00:25.876
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. What are you doing? I'm shaving my chin hears.

0:00:26.996 --> 0:00:28.996
<v Speaker 1>What is that thing? It looks like a little magic

0:00:29.036 --> 0:00:31.716
<v Speaker 1>marker for princesses. It's like supposed to be used for

0:00:31.756 --> 0:00:35.236
<v Speaker 1>bikini shaving. There was shape. I didn't know that women

0:00:35.276 --> 0:00:37.116
<v Speaker 1>had those. We have a lot of secrets, man, We

0:00:37.196 --> 0:00:39.156
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of tools in the tool belt. That's

0:00:39.156 --> 0:00:41.196
<v Speaker 1>a tool for below the tool belt. I'm got in

0:00:41.236 --> 0:00:43.876
<v Speaker 1>my case because when when I go out of my house,

0:00:43.996 --> 0:00:46.196
<v Speaker 1>I can actually see my chin hairs in a better

0:00:46.196 --> 0:00:47.636
<v Speaker 1>mirror than the one I have in my house. And

0:00:47.636 --> 0:00:49.556
<v Speaker 1>I'll hit up a hotel and I'll turn on the

0:00:49.596 --> 0:00:52.476
<v Speaker 1>magnified mirror and be like, oh, there's the forest of hairs,

0:00:52.636 --> 0:00:57.356
<v Speaker 1>and I'll shave them all. This is the unvarnished travel show.

0:00:57.476 --> 0:00:59.316
<v Speaker 1>I haven't wear makeup, but I will shave a chin here.

0:01:08.116 --> 0:01:14.716
<v Speaker 1>This is not Lost Look Amazing only wears overalls and jumpsuits.

0:01:14.756 --> 0:01:19.596
<v Speaker 1>Now the travel show about going places, define yourself. Each week,

0:01:19.836 --> 0:01:22.036
<v Speaker 1>a friend and I go to a new place and

0:01:22.116 --> 0:01:24.516
<v Speaker 1>try to get invited to someone's house for dinner. I

0:01:24.516 --> 0:01:26.676
<v Speaker 1>feel like you were the turtle back on part. That's

0:01:26.716 --> 0:01:31.156
<v Speaker 1>been my signature mood. I'm Brendan Francis Newnham are somehow

0:01:31.796 --> 0:01:36.316
<v Speaker 1>and that's my friend Daniel Henderson as there's no boots. Man.

0:01:36.636 --> 0:01:39.356
<v Speaker 1>We've just met up at Trudeau Airport. Staring at the

0:01:39.356 --> 0:01:42.676
<v Speaker 1>people coming out of the plane. They look Canadian. I

0:01:42.796 --> 0:01:44.516
<v Speaker 1>think they would just look like us, but they don't.

0:01:44.716 --> 0:01:47.236
<v Speaker 1>They look better. They look like they have healthcare. Episode

0:01:47.236 --> 0:01:53.996
<v Speaker 1>one Montreal, we're gonna I think calves are this way?

0:01:54.796 --> 0:02:02.396
<v Speaker 1>See that? Oh my god, freezing. Why did we come

0:02:02.396 --> 0:02:09.556
<v Speaker 1>to Montreal in the dead of winter. Well, because most

0:02:09.596 --> 0:02:13.516
<v Speaker 1>travel shows would come here in Springer's fall. Yeah, I

0:02:13.516 --> 0:02:16.156
<v Speaker 1>mean you're talking to someone who flew in from Los Angeles.

0:02:16.436 --> 0:02:18.436
<v Speaker 1>I have a bag with my Burgenstocks handles in it

0:02:18.436 --> 0:02:20.356
<v Speaker 1>because that's what I was wearing this morning. But I

0:02:20.396 --> 0:02:23.516
<v Speaker 1>wanted like authentic Montreal man, Like I think, like this

0:02:23.916 --> 0:02:29.196
<v Speaker 1>what separates the Canadian wheat from the Canadian chap. So

0:02:29.236 --> 0:02:32.676
<v Speaker 1>we need to establish on this ride that your TV writer,

0:02:33.356 --> 0:02:39.716
<v Speaker 1>I am a like audio journalist person and we're both single.

0:02:39.876 --> 0:02:42.356
<v Speaker 1>We're on the wrong set of thirty five. We're looking

0:02:42.396 --> 0:02:45.796
<v Speaker 1>for connection, creative meaning a hand to hold in this mad,

0:02:45.836 --> 0:02:48.676
<v Speaker 1>mad world. My only plan was to get on a

0:02:48.716 --> 0:02:52.356
<v Speaker 1>plane and show up. It's rad to see you, and

0:02:52.356 --> 0:02:54.356
<v Speaker 1>I think we're gonna have fun. So basically I need

0:02:54.396 --> 0:02:56.956
<v Speaker 1>to do this travel pod thing. We also have some

0:02:56.996 --> 0:03:00.316
<v Speaker 1>people were going to meet, very excited, and I would

0:03:00.356 --> 0:03:04.236
<v Speaker 1>like to hopefully insinuate herself into someone's home to have dinner,

0:03:04.236 --> 0:03:05.956
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like that's the real way to meet them.

0:03:06.116 --> 0:03:08.556
<v Speaker 1>When you say it like that, I can't imagine anyone

0:03:08.596 --> 0:03:11.716
<v Speaker 1>else turning, anyone turning us down. I'd like to insinuate

0:03:11.756 --> 0:03:15.716
<v Speaker 1>myself into your hole. Um, I'm gonna switch Mike's, so

0:03:15.876 --> 0:03:22.796
<v Speaker 1>don't say anything interesting. Where are you all from? Okay?

0:03:22.916 --> 0:03:25.876
<v Speaker 1>I'm from New York. Okay. So that there is the

0:03:25.876 --> 0:03:29.796
<v Speaker 1>Olympic Stadium. Yeah, and you will see we are actually

0:03:29.876 --> 0:03:34.796
<v Speaker 1>on an island, which is uh, you know, butch all

0:03:34.956 --> 0:03:37.916
<v Speaker 1>is cool because we you know, we we are like

0:03:38.036 --> 0:03:41.196
<v Speaker 1>Americans without the baggage. We can watch and look kind

0:03:41.196 --> 0:03:46.436
<v Speaker 1>of laugh because we're across the border, but we're the same.

0:03:47.156 --> 0:03:50.476
<v Speaker 1>Like you might even think I'm from Jersey. I thought

0:03:50.476 --> 0:03:53.796
<v Speaker 1>you were from Jersey. What I mean, that's what an

0:03:53.836 --> 0:03:59.196
<v Speaker 1>anglophone Quebecer sounds like. Can you say quintessential Quebecer anglophone sentence?

0:03:59.756 --> 0:04:03.956
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go get some put in Oh you

0:04:04.036 --> 0:04:06.516
<v Speaker 1>try or smoked meat? All right? Did you get some

0:04:06.556 --> 0:04:09.836
<v Speaker 1>bagels yet? Yeah? What about what about of you're just

0:04:09.836 --> 0:04:12.596
<v Speaker 1>talking to your family or friends on a Sunday. Well,

0:04:12.676 --> 0:04:15.756
<v Speaker 1>since I have three teenagers, I don't talk much to

0:04:15.796 --> 0:04:19.796
<v Speaker 1>them because they're they're teenagers. But here you'll notice all

0:04:19.836 --> 0:04:23.836
<v Speaker 1>the signs that we have around. They're all French. But

0:04:24.076 --> 0:04:28.676
<v Speaker 1>if you notice, there will be some participate in English.

0:04:28.716 --> 0:04:32.356
<v Speaker 1>But they have to be. This is a law. A

0:04:32.596 --> 0:04:37.996
<v Speaker 1>third of the size. We've got the office d lallon

0:04:38.436 --> 0:04:43.196
<v Speaker 1>fan the French police. Yeah, go around and go into

0:04:43.196 --> 0:04:46.636
<v Speaker 1>your establishment and measure your sign and make sure you're

0:04:46.676 --> 0:04:50.636
<v Speaker 1>comfort Oh yeah, we've we've tried to seceed from Canada.

0:04:51.036 --> 0:04:53.716
<v Speaker 1>What time it was real close? I was like, I

0:04:53.756 --> 0:04:56.956
<v Speaker 1>think forty nine fifty one. It was like every all

0:04:56.996 --> 0:05:00.236
<v Speaker 1>the the head offices and companies just up and left,

0:05:00.796 --> 0:05:06.676
<v Speaker 1>and the wealth left, and so what remained was nice, beautiful,

0:05:06.796 --> 0:05:11.796
<v Speaker 1>easy to live, lovable Montreal. This is it. My tour

0:05:11.876 --> 0:05:15.316
<v Speaker 1>has had the car. I don't, but I'm uber, Daryl,

0:05:16.196 --> 0:05:24.836
<v Speaker 1>I thank you. Watch yourself in the eyes. You're welcome

0:05:24.876 --> 0:05:27.116
<v Speaker 1>to grab my arm here for these icy regions. Here's

0:05:27.116 --> 0:05:28.916
<v Speaker 1>where it gets treacherous, though, because now it's snow on

0:05:28.956 --> 0:05:31.716
<v Speaker 1>top of ice. I think you just have to walk

0:05:31.756 --> 0:05:36.436
<v Speaker 1>like an old person your entire walk. I just want

0:05:36.436 --> 0:05:39.036
<v Speaker 1>to point out that a small child ran past us

0:05:39.076 --> 0:05:43.956
<v Speaker 1>like she was just walking on grass, just fully ran

0:05:44.156 --> 0:05:47.476
<v Speaker 1>past us while we take our old bones down this street.

0:05:51.716 --> 0:05:54.156
<v Speaker 1>In my high school yearbook caption, I wrote a message

0:05:54.156 --> 0:05:58.756
<v Speaker 1>to my unrequited crush. It said, dear E, our artists

0:05:58.756 --> 0:06:02.116
<v Speaker 1>loft in Canada waits. I'd never even been to Canada

0:06:02.596 --> 0:06:05.076
<v Speaker 1>or a loft, but somehow I'd gotten this idea that

0:06:05.076 --> 0:06:08.516
<v Speaker 1>it was a place for culture, romance, an affordable real estate,

0:06:09.236 --> 0:06:12.756
<v Speaker 1>three things I still long for. He's married now with

0:06:12.796 --> 0:06:15.676
<v Speaker 1>two kids, but at least I made it to Canada.

0:06:16.516 --> 0:06:19.956
<v Speaker 1>I'll be it in the dead of winter with my friend.

0:06:20.196 --> 0:06:23.316
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, there's a cat cafe ten feet from

0:06:23.356 --> 0:06:26.036
<v Speaker 1>our door. That's insane. Danielle and I drop off our

0:06:26.036 --> 0:06:28.996
<v Speaker 1>bags and head to the Museum of Fine Arts. As

0:06:29.036 --> 0:06:30.796
<v Speaker 1>good a place as I need to learn about Montreal's

0:06:30.796 --> 0:06:33.636
<v Speaker 1>creative roots. So it was a city where it was

0:06:33.676 --> 0:06:36.916
<v Speaker 1>like much more important to be a sculptor than a doctor.

0:06:37.076 --> 0:06:39.556
<v Speaker 1>That is really cool, whatever that is. They saw it

0:06:39.676 --> 0:06:41.756
<v Speaker 1>last time I was here. My name is Heather O'Neill,

0:06:41.876 --> 0:06:44.116
<v Speaker 1>and I'm a local Montreal author. These look kind of

0:06:44.116 --> 0:06:46.396
<v Speaker 1>like Jacometti's a little bit right, yeah, like with the

0:06:46.516 --> 0:06:50.796
<v Speaker 1>skinny elongated limbs. This is Louis Arschambau. He has sculptures

0:06:50.796 --> 0:06:53.596
<v Speaker 1>and parks too. I believe this is like such a style.

0:06:54.276 --> 0:06:56.276
<v Speaker 1>I always liked it, but my dad would try and

0:06:56.556 --> 0:06:59.876
<v Speaker 1>show me like this is crap. I love the idea

0:06:59.876 --> 0:07:01.756
<v Speaker 1>of been bringing you to all these works of public

0:07:01.836 --> 0:07:04.396
<v Speaker 1>art just to point out how horrible they are, terrible

0:07:05.476 --> 0:07:09.036
<v Speaker 1>phony fony. So we're making our way into the Quebec

0:07:09.476 --> 0:07:12.716
<v Speaker 1>Arts Pavilion. You're not a historian. You're not responsible to

0:07:12.716 --> 0:07:14.916
<v Speaker 1>explain all this to us. If you read anything you

0:07:15.036 --> 0:07:19.596
<v Speaker 1>encounter the Quiet Revolution? Is there a way to summarize

0:07:19.596 --> 0:07:23.036
<v Speaker 1>that pretty quickly? The kind of what that was? All? Right? Here,

0:07:23.076 --> 0:07:28.316
<v Speaker 1>I go, okay, we'll just go to the sixties when

0:07:28.316 --> 0:07:31.436
<v Speaker 1>it started all the sort of good jobs in Montreal,

0:07:31.516 --> 0:07:34.996
<v Speaker 1>and all the executive jobs were held by English speaking people,

0:07:35.556 --> 0:07:39.276
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of the companies were they were all

0:07:39.276 --> 0:07:44.076
<v Speaker 1>owned by anglophones and they would only give English speaking

0:07:44.556 --> 0:07:48.956
<v Speaker 1>citizens the jobs. And then what happened was there began

0:07:49.036 --> 0:07:54.276
<v Speaker 1>to be a cultural movement where they decided we're just

0:07:54.356 --> 0:08:01.276
<v Speaker 1>going to overthrow this predicament we're in so French class. Yeah,

0:08:01.436 --> 0:08:04.196
<v Speaker 1>the lower class Francophones were like, this is just enough.

0:08:04.516 --> 0:08:08.236
<v Speaker 1>One of the big movements was they made education all

0:08:08.276 --> 0:08:10.636
<v Speaker 1>the universities free, So you ended up with this like

0:08:10.756 --> 0:08:13.796
<v Speaker 1>massive class of young people who came from working class

0:08:13.836 --> 0:08:19.196
<v Speaker 1>backgrounds but were incredibly educated and so obviously that created

0:08:19.276 --> 0:08:23.796
<v Speaker 1>like radical thinking. So we're in this permanent exhibit called

0:08:23.796 --> 0:08:26.396
<v Speaker 1>the Age of the Manifesto. Do you recognize any of

0:08:26.436 --> 0:08:29.316
<v Speaker 1>these Oh, yeah, this is real pal who Yeah, is

0:08:29.396 --> 0:08:33.756
<v Speaker 1>sort of our Jackson Pollock. He's incredibly well regarded in Quebec.

0:08:35.076 --> 0:08:38.356
<v Speaker 1>Even someone myself came from as lower class as you

0:08:38.356 --> 0:08:40.596
<v Speaker 1>get in the city, I still went to McGill University

0:08:40.676 --> 0:08:43.636
<v Speaker 1>and had like a top rate education and then was,

0:08:43.996 --> 0:08:45.676
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of thrown back on the street corner.

0:08:45.756 --> 0:08:48.956
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what do I do? I've just read

0:08:48.996 --> 0:08:51.676
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Henry James. So there's this kind of

0:08:51.716 --> 0:08:55.516
<v Speaker 1>irony and there's a humor when you're able to suddenly

0:08:55.956 --> 0:09:01.276
<v Speaker 1>talk about your odd, down and out predicament, but in

0:09:01.316 --> 0:09:07.556
<v Speaker 1>the language of m and so then it becomes everything

0:09:07.636 --> 0:09:09.796
<v Speaker 1>kind of becomes like tongue in cheek an absurd and

0:09:09.876 --> 0:09:15.716
<v Speaker 1>you kind of have this like Beckett, like feeling well,

0:09:15.716 --> 0:09:19.436
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for meeting us today. That's what's what's

0:09:19.476 --> 0:09:23.116
<v Speaker 1>going on tonight? What are you up to? Oh um?

0:09:24.036 --> 0:09:28.876
<v Speaker 1>I have like a deadline. I'm asking because we're kind

0:09:28.916 --> 0:09:32.316
<v Speaker 1>of trying to get invited to a dinner party, because

0:09:32.716 --> 0:09:34.516
<v Speaker 1>it's a place where you can genuinely get to know

0:09:34.676 --> 0:09:37.276
<v Speaker 1>people instead of just being tourists. You know, I would

0:09:37.356 --> 0:09:39.596
<v Speaker 1>love that, but I have like a Chihuahua who is

0:09:40.236 --> 0:09:43.676
<v Speaker 1>aggressive towards the stranger dogs, but it would just over

0:09:44.276 --> 0:09:49.116
<v Speaker 1>overwhelm him. I think, Okay, I'm sorry, like it seems rude.

0:09:49.116 --> 0:09:53.276
<v Speaker 1>I know everyone Canadians are nice, but apparently they're no.

0:09:53.396 --> 0:09:56.156
<v Speaker 1>But if you bring people by dogs going to bite someone, okay,

0:09:56.196 --> 0:09:57.556
<v Speaker 1>that would not be a good outcome. But you have

0:09:57.596 --> 0:10:04.476
<v Speaker 1>healthcare for those people. What is your dog's name, Hamlet.

0:10:11.516 --> 0:10:14.076
<v Speaker 1>I don't spend as much time thinking about how I'm

0:10:14.116 --> 0:10:17.116
<v Speaker 1>going to die alone when I'm traveling, but I get

0:10:17.116 --> 0:10:19.436
<v Speaker 1>to travel with someone I love. Oh see, I love

0:10:19.476 --> 0:10:21.716
<v Speaker 1>you too, and also we get to eat as much

0:10:21.756 --> 0:10:25.436
<v Speaker 1>everything there. I love you too. Mine's a lot of

0:10:25.476 --> 0:10:29.236
<v Speaker 1>therapy bills behind that you're so white. I love it.

0:10:29.356 --> 0:10:31.756
<v Speaker 1>It's nice. It's nice to kind of it is nice

0:10:31.756 --> 0:10:35.796
<v Speaker 1>to travel with. Buddy. This is Arion Saint Laurent. Thank you.

0:10:37.196 --> 0:10:41.836
<v Speaker 1>When my last radio show ended fairly abruptly, I was

0:10:41.836 --> 0:10:44.076
<v Speaker 1>a little concerned about your mental health. Yeah I was.

0:10:44.276 --> 0:10:47.436
<v Speaker 1>I was a little bit lost. You know. I went

0:10:47.516 --> 0:10:51.156
<v Speaker 1>from having this rad show where I spoke with Nilde

0:10:51.196 --> 0:10:55.996
<v Speaker 1>Grass Tyson and Scarlett Johansson to my Deli guy being

0:10:56.396 --> 0:10:59.876
<v Speaker 1>the only person I spoke to on any given day. Yeah,

0:10:59.916 --> 0:11:03.036
<v Speaker 1>but now at this show, trying to get myself back

0:11:03.036 --> 0:11:06.436
<v Speaker 1>out there, Dude, isn't exciting. Let's play a game, like,

0:11:06.556 --> 0:11:09.036
<v Speaker 1>let's just name what comes to mind when we think

0:11:09.196 --> 0:11:14.796
<v Speaker 1>of Montreal. I definitely think of poutine, of course, Letter Cohen,

0:11:15.836 --> 0:11:19.796
<v Speaker 1>I think you guys, they're everywhere. There is just that

0:11:19.916 --> 0:11:22.676
<v Speaker 1>kind of French like undercount where you're like, la la,

0:11:23.156 --> 0:11:26.276
<v Speaker 1>What is this like an eighties perfume commercial? Please never

0:11:26.356 --> 0:11:29.796
<v Speaker 1>say that to a woman here. I want her to

0:11:29.836 --> 0:11:47.756
<v Speaker 1>say it to me. I can never remember who founded Montreal,

0:11:48.236 --> 0:11:51.476
<v Speaker 1>whether it was Samuel de Champlain or Jacquet, but what

0:11:51.556 --> 0:11:55.316
<v Speaker 1>a fucking idiot like I mean, we're only a six

0:11:55.396 --> 0:12:01.076
<v Speaker 1>hour drive from New York that's comedian writer actress Trana Winter.

0:12:02.116 --> 0:12:05.036
<v Speaker 1>We're at a restaurant called Lawrence, which is a fitting name.

0:12:05.636 --> 0:12:07.636
<v Speaker 1>If this place was a human, it'd be that fancy

0:12:07.676 --> 0:12:12.116
<v Speaker 1>kid who dresses like a carefree hemian Lawrence. I try

0:12:12.236 --> 0:12:15.476
<v Speaker 1>and fail to tuck a napkin into my cashmere turtleneck.

0:12:15.916 --> 0:12:20.036
<v Speaker 1>Montreal winters are not glamorous. It's really hard to be glamorous.

0:12:20.236 --> 0:12:23.876
<v Speaker 1>Sorry to be glamorous, like crampons on your boots. Yeah, oh,

0:12:23.956 --> 0:12:28.756
<v Speaker 1>here we go, let's cheers. What do you say, salteea?

0:12:30.396 --> 0:12:35.356
<v Speaker 1>But I love living here. Yeah. Here. It's the last

0:12:35.396 --> 0:12:42.396
<v Speaker 1>remaining affordable North American metropolis. Um. I live in a

0:12:42.476 --> 0:12:45.476
<v Speaker 1>one bedroom apartment like smack in the middle of everything,

0:12:45.636 --> 0:12:49.076
<v Speaker 1>and it's six hundred dollars a month six hundred Canadian

0:12:49.436 --> 0:12:53.716
<v Speaker 1>so that's like four eighty Americans. Yeah. The other thing

0:12:53.716 --> 0:12:56.556
<v Speaker 1>that I love about it is just there's just this

0:12:56.716 --> 0:13:00.916
<v Speaker 1>sexy vibe and Montreal this pulse, this energy. But I

0:13:00.996 --> 0:13:04.476
<v Speaker 1>don't fully know how to articulate, but it's here. I've

0:13:04.476 --> 0:13:07.036
<v Speaker 1>been hornys it's the minute I live. There is this

0:13:07.156 --> 0:13:10.756
<v Speaker 1>sensuality to it, There is this kind of verve, and

0:13:10.836 --> 0:13:13.236
<v Speaker 1>I don't I just think like, oh, it's European, which

0:13:13.276 --> 0:13:16.036
<v Speaker 1>is my catchall term for any kind of these. That's

0:13:16.276 --> 0:13:18.716
<v Speaker 1>part of it. I think part of it too is

0:13:18.756 --> 0:13:22.196
<v Speaker 1>just it is a diverse city, you know, but I

0:13:22.196 --> 0:13:25.036
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's special anymore. That's sort of seems to

0:13:25.436 --> 0:13:27.956
<v Speaker 1>is that when I travel alone as a black woman,

0:13:28.196 --> 0:13:31.316
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's something that I notice right away

0:13:31.316 --> 0:13:33.436
<v Speaker 1>if I feel comfortable or not right, and there are

0:13:33.436 --> 0:13:37.116
<v Speaker 1>still some places where I just don't right for sure

0:13:37.196 --> 0:13:40.196
<v Speaker 1>at all. Thank you on top you have a little

0:13:40.236 --> 0:13:43.396
<v Speaker 1>salad of fresh hurricane Billy gals and coins. That's my

0:13:43.476 --> 0:13:47.476
<v Speaker 1>renated enjoying thank you just looks so good. Well, the

0:13:47.516 --> 0:13:49.636
<v Speaker 1>things that I like about it, though, I feel like

0:13:49.636 --> 0:13:54.356
<v Speaker 1>you're trying here, Like there's a cultural identity that people

0:13:54.356 --> 0:13:57.236
<v Speaker 1>are not willing to just roll over and let things happen. Yeah,

0:13:57.276 --> 0:13:59.756
<v Speaker 1>that's true, especially on the French side. French side is

0:13:59.876 --> 0:14:04.156
<v Speaker 1>very much about protecting their culture. Actually just started to

0:14:04.356 --> 0:14:07.596
<v Speaker 1>do comedy in French because I am bilingual. Is there

0:14:07.596 --> 0:14:10.676
<v Speaker 1>different things that French people find funny? In Quebec Actually

0:14:10.716 --> 0:14:15.396
<v Speaker 1>there's something called Le Calm, which is comedy school. Basically. Okay,

0:14:15.876 --> 0:14:20.516
<v Speaker 1>like nine percent of French or Francophone comedians in Quebec

0:14:20.876 --> 0:14:24.236
<v Speaker 1>have gone through this school class one is like did

0:14:24.276 --> 0:14:27.476
<v Speaker 1>you ever notice, right, yeah, freshman year, and so there

0:14:27.556 --> 0:14:30.916
<v Speaker 1>is kind of like this uniformity in terms of comedy style.

0:14:31.516 --> 0:14:35.836
<v Speaker 1>So also out of necessity, there is this Quebec star system,

0:14:35.836 --> 0:14:39.996
<v Speaker 1>like Quebec has its own Hollywood that doesn't exist anywhere

0:14:39.996 --> 0:14:42.876
<v Speaker 1>else because it can't exist anywhere else, it doesn't translate.

0:14:43.316 --> 0:14:45.876
<v Speaker 1>But now that I've started performing in French, it's like,

0:14:45.956 --> 0:14:48.836
<v Speaker 1>that's become my new dream. You're gonna be a part of,

0:14:48.876 --> 0:14:52.956
<v Speaker 1>like the Quebec Star system. I'm like that. My dream

0:14:52.996 --> 0:14:54.876
<v Speaker 1>has always been to make it just so I can

0:14:54.916 --> 0:14:57.836
<v Speaker 1>be a hasban. What's it called if you never did

0:14:57.836 --> 0:15:00.276
<v Speaker 1>anything to be washed up? I never was, like I

0:15:00.676 --> 0:15:14.916
<v Speaker 1>never Yeah, you're not as you're never gu So I

0:15:14.956 --> 0:15:19.756
<v Speaker 1>got divorced five years ago and I met my ex

0:15:19.836 --> 0:15:23.036
<v Speaker 1>husband on an internet comic book forum in the late nineties. Wow,

0:15:23.316 --> 0:15:24.796
<v Speaker 1>and he was like my best friend and he was

0:15:24.876 --> 0:15:27.116
<v Speaker 1>part of my memory and my heart and I lost

0:15:27.156 --> 0:15:31.116
<v Speaker 1>that and I lost all of my confidence. I have

0:15:31.196 --> 0:15:33.956
<v Speaker 1>not been on a date or been in a relationship

0:15:33.996 --> 0:15:38.716
<v Speaker 1>since then. I've had sex once, no, twice twice in

0:15:38.756 --> 0:15:42.316
<v Speaker 1>the past four years. Oh really, Yeah, it's been very

0:15:42.356 --> 0:15:45.916
<v Speaker 1>difficult to admit to myself that, like I'm interested now

0:15:47.356 --> 0:15:50.316
<v Speaker 1>in being with someone in a real way again, like

0:15:50.396 --> 0:15:52.956
<v Speaker 1>sharing my life with them. You're afraid to be We

0:15:53.076 --> 0:15:56.276
<v Speaker 1>think we all are vulnerable. Yeah, I don't have too vulnerability.

0:15:57.076 --> 0:15:59.476
<v Speaker 1>I've known you for a while and we've pooped around

0:15:59.476 --> 0:16:01.236
<v Speaker 1>and traveled a lot, like you do have an appetite

0:16:01.236 --> 0:16:03.956
<v Speaker 1>for just like some freewheel and love through. I was

0:16:03.956 --> 0:16:08.356
<v Speaker 1>sad a lot whatever Jim Hudson in the seventies. Why

0:16:08.356 --> 0:16:11.996
<v Speaker 1>do you want to get laid? But also you're such

0:16:12.036 --> 0:16:14.596
<v Speaker 1>a I don't know, you have such a nurturing instinct

0:16:14.596 --> 0:16:16.756
<v Speaker 1>and you're you're I hear you're one. I don't know.

0:16:16.956 --> 0:16:20.436
<v Speaker 1>I'm not there now of that instinct because I don't

0:16:20.476 --> 0:16:23.676
<v Speaker 1>want to take care of man. And it sucks that

0:16:23.796 --> 0:16:25.596
<v Speaker 1>the result of that is that I might have to

0:16:25.636 --> 0:16:28.636
<v Speaker 1>be alone because that bob is the thought of being

0:16:28.676 --> 0:16:31.956
<v Speaker 1>alone bother you though, no me either. It doesn't bother me.

0:16:31.996 --> 0:16:33.596
<v Speaker 1>It's only like when I want to get late and

0:16:33.636 --> 0:16:35.196
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I don't know how people do it. It

0:16:35.236 --> 0:16:39.356
<v Speaker 1>bothers me. It bothers me, it does yeah, um super

0:16:39.396 --> 0:16:42.396
<v Speaker 1>in the cuddling, I like I like I like cooking

0:16:42.436 --> 0:16:46.836
<v Speaker 1>breakfast half naked like that, I would really take care

0:16:46.876 --> 0:16:53.756
<v Speaker 1>of my like, nah, huddling affection. No, how's your drink.

0:16:54.196 --> 0:16:58.676
<v Speaker 1>That's great, got some gin and some lime and some booze.

0:16:58.876 --> 0:17:01.996
<v Speaker 1>It's good. It looks like I got colder outside in

0:17:02.036 --> 0:17:05.196
<v Speaker 1>the time we were eating. I'm a little scared. Yeah,

0:17:05.316 --> 0:17:07.956
<v Speaker 1>but you know Montreal, like even in like the most

0:17:07.996 --> 0:17:12.036
<v Speaker 1>insane winter weather, you can always count on one asshole

0:17:12.156 --> 0:17:16.476
<v Speaker 1>to be on their bike, still going. I'm telling you,

0:17:16.596 --> 0:17:21.076
<v Speaker 1>in a blizzard, in a blizzard in the weather, let's

0:17:21.116 --> 0:17:24.196
<v Speaker 1>be career street sweepers here, Like there's so much snow

0:17:24.356 --> 0:17:28.476
<v Speaker 1>so long. Absolutely, and as a warning before the plows come,

0:17:28.756 --> 0:17:32.556
<v Speaker 1>they have these toe chucks driving around blaring this insane siren.

0:17:32.796 --> 0:17:36.516
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's not a cop siren, it's not a fire truck,

0:17:36.836 --> 0:17:40.476
<v Speaker 1>it's its own unit. It's a plows Far the fuck

0:17:40.556 --> 0:17:44.076
<v Speaker 1>out of your siren. So what are you doing this weekend?

0:17:44.116 --> 0:17:48.756
<v Speaker 1>What are the plans? Um? I mean, my weekends are

0:17:48.796 --> 0:17:50.796
<v Speaker 1>always kind of up in the air. I'm as you know,

0:17:50.836 --> 0:17:54.676
<v Speaker 1>I'm very noncommittal a party to go to. You're looking

0:17:54.716 --> 0:17:59.316
<v Speaker 1>for a dinner party? I mean, I like you guys,

0:18:01.236 --> 0:18:03.876
<v Speaker 1>Let's play it by ear. Is that the name of

0:18:03.876 --> 0:18:12.116
<v Speaker 1>your next comedy album? Maybe? Maybe? Yeah? Oh for two

0:18:12.156 --> 0:18:14.996
<v Speaker 1>in our dinner party search, or rather point five for

0:18:15.116 --> 0:18:18.916
<v Speaker 1>two since China did say maybe. Back at our lodgings,

0:18:18.956 --> 0:18:21.756
<v Speaker 1>we brush our teeth, tuck ourselves in, and uploads like

0:18:21.916 --> 0:18:26.396
<v Speaker 1>photos to Instagram. Eventually I drift off to sleep with

0:18:26.476 --> 0:18:29.196
<v Speaker 1>dreams of six hundred dollars rent going through my head.

0:18:48.996 --> 0:18:55.356
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, let's get coffee. Whoa that is a style.

0:18:55.836 --> 0:18:59.516
<v Speaker 1>Guy's got like a slicked back, moosed ponytail. I mean

0:18:59.556 --> 0:19:02.836
<v Speaker 1>it is morning, and I'm surprisingly still horny for a

0:19:02.956 --> 0:19:12.716
<v Speaker 1>rontreal mosaba suble years. All right, you show me up.

0:19:12.796 --> 0:19:14.556
<v Speaker 1>You speak French, I don't May I have one of

0:19:14.556 --> 0:19:18.196
<v Speaker 1>these with the feta. Yeah, Rusty and I will have

0:19:18.316 --> 0:19:25.436
<v Speaker 1>a latte in your largest to go cup. So today

0:19:25.956 --> 0:19:27.716
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna go to the Jean to Lawn market, this

0:19:27.836 --> 0:19:31.036
<v Speaker 1>food market with this woman Massam who's a food blogger,

0:19:31.156 --> 0:19:32.916
<v Speaker 1>because you know, we gotta get our food for one

0:19:32.956 --> 0:19:35.316
<v Speaker 1>one gotta get it some snacks. But I was thinking

0:19:35.836 --> 0:19:38.276
<v Speaker 1>to get started, we should go to Leonard Cohen's home

0:19:38.316 --> 0:19:40.836
<v Speaker 1>because he's this city's like favorite son. Is it a

0:19:40.876 --> 0:19:42.876
<v Speaker 1>museum now or that he's dead or is it just

0:19:42.956 --> 0:19:45.276
<v Speaker 1>his house. It's not a museum, and it's kind of

0:19:45.316 --> 0:19:47.556
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even one hundred percent positive where it is.

0:19:47.596 --> 0:19:49.716
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I know it's on this park to Portugal.

0:19:51.076 --> 0:19:52.476
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I just think there might be a

0:19:52.476 --> 0:19:54.716
<v Speaker 1>clue for me up there. Yeah. I mean, you have

0:19:54.756 --> 0:19:57.036
<v Speaker 1>to go with your heart, go where your heart leads you.

0:19:57.396 --> 0:20:00.156
<v Speaker 1>My heart is leading me to get a massage on

0:20:00.316 --> 0:20:03.196
<v Speaker 1>a boat, really, because I think it gets you into

0:20:03.396 --> 0:20:06.156
<v Speaker 1>the spirit of well, I don't know. I was gonna

0:20:06.156 --> 0:20:07.836
<v Speaker 1>bullshit something about how it gets you into the spirit

0:20:07.836 --> 0:20:09.676
<v Speaker 1>of the city, but it's just entirely selfish and I

0:20:09.716 --> 0:20:12.876
<v Speaker 1>like feeling good. All right, Well, I'm just gonna take off.

0:20:12.916 --> 0:20:16.036
<v Speaker 1>I guess I feel weird abandoning you at this stage

0:20:16.036 --> 0:20:18.556
<v Speaker 1>of the game. Look, we're both adults. I'm gonna let

0:20:18.556 --> 0:20:20.676
<v Speaker 1>you go stand outside, let her Cohen's house like a creep,

0:20:20.756 --> 0:20:23.996
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna go get a massage, all right, Helena,

0:20:24.076 --> 0:20:26.796
<v Speaker 1>how goes? And if you get arrested, I'll bail you out.

0:20:27.316 --> 0:20:40.276
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Excuse me, I'm looking for Leonard Cohen's house.

0:20:41.556 --> 0:20:53.956
<v Speaker 1>A Cohen I'm looking for. Excuse me? Is it your

0:20:53.996 --> 0:20:58.156
<v Speaker 1>first time here? Wonderful, well, welcome, very excited to see

0:20:58.236 --> 0:21:00.356
<v Speaker 1>what a spa on a river has to offer. And

0:21:00.396 --> 0:21:04.396
<v Speaker 1>it's so wonderful. I think it's like parked to Portugal

0:21:04.636 --> 0:21:07.036
<v Speaker 1>or something. Oh yeah, you just have to like keep

0:21:07.076 --> 0:21:09.596
<v Speaker 1>walking a little bit, turned right and up a few

0:21:09.636 --> 0:21:11.516
<v Speaker 1>blocks and me get all right. But there's not like

0:21:11.516 --> 0:21:14.476
<v Speaker 1>a sign or anything that says that's where I used

0:21:14.476 --> 0:21:21.636
<v Speaker 1>to live. No, no, no, okay, it's fucking freezing out here.

0:21:23.476 --> 0:21:26.996
<v Speaker 1>This is one of our saunas Lord of ceiling windows.

0:21:26.996 --> 0:21:30.556
<v Speaker 1>Looking over the port. This is unreal jacouzy hot tubs

0:21:30.676 --> 0:21:34.436
<v Speaker 1>we call them ba. I cannot get over this. And

0:21:34.516 --> 0:21:38.316
<v Speaker 1>this is filled with eucalyptus. Normally I want to live

0:21:38.356 --> 0:21:40.596
<v Speaker 1>in this. You're gonna head down to the first stack,

0:21:40.676 --> 0:21:45.156
<v Speaker 1>can go for your musage. I'm ready. You're in the bathtub.

0:21:45.996 --> 0:21:56.436
<v Speaker 1>Ah fuck, Oh my goodness. You're a very gentle touch.

0:21:57.916 --> 0:22:00.596
<v Speaker 1>I'm going through the scar tissue, because we have scar

0:22:00.636 --> 0:22:06.716
<v Speaker 1>tissue that builds up in muscles that are oversolicited. You

0:22:06.836 --> 0:22:08.756
<v Speaker 1>use your body in different ways in such a treme

0:22:08.796 --> 0:22:12.196
<v Speaker 1>tempers and so I'm wondering if that contributes to you

0:22:12.316 --> 0:22:16.156
<v Speaker 1>seeing certain types of ailments are over and over again,

0:22:16.436 --> 0:22:20.116
<v Speaker 1>or what I see a lot of is definitely low

0:22:20.156 --> 0:22:24.876
<v Speaker 1>back and more low back tension which crawls up front

0:22:24.916 --> 0:22:28.396
<v Speaker 1>because we're huddled, you know, we're trying to keep ourselves warm,

0:22:28.396 --> 0:22:32.396
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to keep centered so that we can navigate

0:22:32.436 --> 0:22:34.516
<v Speaker 1>the ice and the snow and the slush and the

0:22:34.556 --> 0:22:37.476
<v Speaker 1>puddles and the roads. It's really the march of the

0:22:37.476 --> 0:22:39.356
<v Speaker 1>penguins in the winter here, I mean, and you you're

0:22:39.356 --> 0:22:40.636
<v Speaker 1>going to see that today, and your guys are going

0:22:40.676 --> 0:22:42.796
<v Speaker 1>to giggle to yourselves and you say, yeah, there's the penguins. Yeah,

0:22:42.796 --> 0:22:44.956
<v Speaker 1>I see them, you know. And it's because we're so

0:22:44.996 --> 0:22:55.236
<v Speaker 1>afraid to fall like a bird on the wire, like

0:22:55.356 --> 0:23:00.316
<v Speaker 1>a drunk in the mid night choir. I have tried

0:23:01.716 --> 0:23:12.556
<v Speaker 1>in my way to be free. Thank you. Well, this

0:23:12.636 --> 0:23:22.596
<v Speaker 1>is it? Just a gray Stone one two three triplex,

0:23:24.876 --> 0:23:30.036
<v Speaker 1>pretty non the script, you know, he's sang about religion

0:23:30.156 --> 0:23:36.396
<v Speaker 1>and sex and poets and history, and it's weird just

0:23:36.516 --> 0:23:40.316
<v Speaker 1>to see a gray house on a little park with

0:23:40.396 --> 0:23:49.396
<v Speaker 1>a Honda Civic parked out front of it. I'm not

0:23:49.476 --> 0:23:52.356
<v Speaker 1>really sure why I thought it was so important to

0:23:52.436 --> 0:24:02.996
<v Speaker 1>come here. All right, it's icy, it's cold, and I

0:24:03.036 --> 0:24:10.716
<v Speaker 1>think that's the bigel place he would go to. It's

0:24:10.796 --> 0:24:15.596
<v Speaker 1>kind of strange to realize how powerful and healing touch

0:24:15.676 --> 0:24:19.516
<v Speaker 1>can be because I don't I don't date, I don't

0:24:19.596 --> 0:24:23.156
<v Speaker 1>kind of like engage in that way anymore. And so

0:24:25.116 --> 0:24:28.556
<v Speaker 1>I was alone for thirteen years after my divorce and

0:24:28.676 --> 0:24:31.836
<v Speaker 1>I met I met someone. What I came to understand

0:24:31.916 --> 0:24:35.956
<v Speaker 1>about myself is what stops me from dating is how

0:24:35.996 --> 0:24:39.556
<v Speaker 1>well can I hide my wounds? Right? So, my you know,

0:24:39.596 --> 0:24:42.756
<v Speaker 1>current partner and I we decided are the philosophy of

0:24:42.756 --> 0:24:47.516
<v Speaker 1>our relationship is no masks, full disclosure. So I think

0:24:47.556 --> 0:24:50.876
<v Speaker 1>it's about really deciding to have to have that level

0:24:50.876 --> 0:24:53.036
<v Speaker 1>of honesty within yourself and the trusting. But when you've

0:24:53.036 --> 0:25:00.756
<v Speaker 1>had trauma, trust is so fragile. Yeah. So, so one

0:25:00.796 --> 0:25:05.596
<v Speaker 1>of my my big trauma is that my mom left.

0:25:07.996 --> 0:25:10.316
<v Speaker 1>She she dropped us off at my grandparents' house for

0:25:10.356 --> 0:25:15.196
<v Speaker 1>a weekend and then never came back. And the person

0:25:15.236 --> 0:25:18.036
<v Speaker 1>who's supposed to love you and conditionally leaves, and that

0:25:18.116 --> 0:25:24.196
<v Speaker 1>will mess you up well because you're gonna always asking

0:25:24.196 --> 0:25:27.396
<v Speaker 1>yourself what did I do wrong? Right? And will I

0:25:27.436 --> 0:25:29.676
<v Speaker 1>do something wrong again? But what will I do to

0:25:29.716 --> 0:25:33.836
<v Speaker 1>make someone leave? Because the assumption is that somebody will

0:25:33.876 --> 0:25:41.036
<v Speaker 1>always leave a lot of tension in your calves. Yeah,

0:25:41.036 --> 0:25:45.036
<v Speaker 1>but you spoke of your herniated disks so often warm

0:25:45.116 --> 0:25:46.476
<v Speaker 1>that up for you. So when you go out and

0:25:46.556 --> 0:25:49.556
<v Speaker 1>do the March of the Penguins, you feel a little

0:25:49.636 --> 0:25:55.116
<v Speaker 1>more ease in your body. Thank you, Lujenie. What are

0:25:55.156 --> 0:25:58.796
<v Speaker 1>you up to this weekend? Because you know Brendon and

0:25:58.836 --> 0:26:01.756
<v Speaker 1>I are in town and we're kind of looking for

0:26:01.956 --> 0:26:04.876
<v Speaker 1>dinner parties. He's making me ask everyone if we can

0:26:05.276 --> 0:26:08.036
<v Speaker 1>eat at their house. Basically, Oh, well, that's unfortunate. I

0:26:08.076 --> 0:26:10.196
<v Speaker 1>would love to normally have to meet at my house. However,

0:26:10.276 --> 0:26:20.036
<v Speaker 1>I am going on from back. Um, could I just

0:26:20.076 --> 0:26:25.196
<v Speaker 1>get a what would you order? Bagel? Bagel with locks? Ye?

0:26:25.356 --> 0:26:32.556
<v Speaker 1>Mercy visiting town? How do you know? I'm visiting? Guidebooks?

0:26:32.596 --> 0:26:35.476
<v Speaker 1>Kind of a giveaway? Let me guess. Larry Cohen's house.

0:26:36.876 --> 0:26:39.676
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't even have a plaque. I just feel like

0:26:39.716 --> 0:26:41.356
<v Speaker 1>if that was in America, there would be there would

0:26:41.356 --> 0:26:44.156
<v Speaker 1>be an amusement park around, like a Suzanne roller coaster,

0:26:44.476 --> 0:26:48.356
<v Speaker 1>like a Leonard Wood. Yeah, they would be selling like

0:26:48.476 --> 0:26:52.276
<v Speaker 1>my blue raincoats or something for toddler's right. Maybe that's

0:26:52.276 --> 0:26:54.596
<v Speaker 1>a good idea an get out on that. Yeah, I'm Brendon.

0:26:54.636 --> 0:26:56.756
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Brendan Francis knew, and I'm doing a

0:26:56.756 --> 0:27:00.436
<v Speaker 1>travel podcast thing here. Oh okay, I'm Tim Kingsbury and

0:27:00.476 --> 0:27:03.476
<v Speaker 1>I live in the neighborhood cool. I used to have

0:27:03.516 --> 0:27:05.316
<v Speaker 1>this podcast you might have heard of called The Dinner

0:27:05.356 --> 0:27:10.356
<v Speaker 1>Party Download. Well, I don't know that one, okay, yeah,

0:27:10.396 --> 0:27:14.236
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was mostly America. Are you a fan

0:27:14.276 --> 0:27:17.396
<v Speaker 1>of Cohen? Yeah, definitely, Like I moved here just to

0:27:17.436 --> 0:27:20.876
<v Speaker 1>play music myself. Actually, so you're a musician, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:27:20.916 --> 0:27:25.636
<v Speaker 1>yeah right. Uh, what kind of hole does he have on?

0:27:25.836 --> 0:27:30.396
<v Speaker 1>Kind of Montreal? Like some imagination, he's everywhere. There's like

0:27:30.516 --> 0:27:33.436
<v Speaker 1>a big mural downtown since he since he passed away,

0:27:33.476 --> 0:27:37.876
<v Speaker 1>and everyone's got a Leonard Cohen story or he's he's

0:27:37.916 --> 0:27:41.196
<v Speaker 1>he's everywhere. Do you do you have a Leonard Cohen story? Uh?

0:27:41.676 --> 0:27:43.396
<v Speaker 1>I used to work at a grocery store just down

0:27:43.436 --> 0:27:46.756
<v Speaker 1>the road called Warshaw and I was like a bag

0:27:46.836 --> 0:27:49.196
<v Speaker 1>boy there and he came in one time and bought

0:27:49.196 --> 0:27:53.316
<v Speaker 1>some bananas, just bananas. I think there were bagels too.

0:27:54.276 --> 0:27:56.756
<v Speaker 1>That sounds very freudy, and actually that's what I imagined.

0:27:57.076 --> 0:28:01.196
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Cohen. Yeah, no, he remember, he was he thought

0:28:01.276 --> 0:28:04.356
<v Speaker 1>they were overpriced, and he was right. They were nice.

0:28:04.436 --> 0:28:06.876
<v Speaker 1>Nice talking to you. I gotta get going. Oh, by

0:28:20.156 --> 0:28:21.996

0:28:59.236 --> 0:29:03.676
<v Speaker 1>in fact, and if you like it, you could buy it.

0:29:02.636 --> 0:29:06.196

0:29:23.916 --> 0:29:27.076

0:29:30.436 --> 0:29:31.876
<v Speaker 1>with the T shirt idea while we're here. And we

0:29:31.876 --> 0:29:34.796
<v Speaker 1>can make some money. You can't ruin the spirit of

0:29:34.796 --> 0:29:41.756
<v Speaker 1>this place. That's so American. Jean Talon, No, no paved

<v Speaker 1>we buy something instead of you taking the sample tray?

0:30:19.956 --> 0:30:22.676

<v Speaker 1>I ask? Retract exact amos? See uh hi dough with

0:31:23.996 --> 0:31:28.796
<v Speaker 1>butter and brown sugar and they put um some cream

0:31:28.836 --> 0:31:31.676
<v Speaker 1>on the on top before cooking it. What does that

0:31:31.756 --> 0:31:33.516
<v Speaker 1>have to do with nuns? I don't know. Why do

0:31:33.676 --> 0:31:43.156
<v Speaker 1>they call it? It was it was invented. It was

0:31:43.156 --> 0:31:46.916
<v Speaker 1>created by nuns, like they were trying to find something

0:31:46.916 --> 0:31:51.556
<v Speaker 1>to do with the leftovers. Nuns farts. That's so upsetting,

0:31:51.636 --> 0:31:57.956
<v Speaker 1>but I appreciate it. I know I'm very sensitive. So Mazame,

0:31:58.036 --> 0:31:59.916
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for joining us the market. It's

0:31:59.916 --> 0:32:01.716
<v Speaker 1>been fun hanging out with you. Now we've got all

0:32:01.716 --> 0:32:02.916
<v Speaker 1>these snacks. Do you want to hang out with us?

0:32:02.916 --> 0:32:12.076
<v Speaker 1>To name? We throw Donna party in our honor um.

0:32:12.236 --> 0:32:16.476
<v Speaker 1>Worst case scenario, you and me at our Airbnb. If

0:32:16.476 --> 0:32:18.156
<v Speaker 1>we don't find a dinner party, I'm going to go

0:32:18.236 --> 0:32:20.236
<v Speaker 1>out to a restaurant. I mean you hit on the

0:32:20.316 --> 0:32:22.316
<v Speaker 1>cheese boy, you mean he hit on them. I said,

0:32:22.356 --> 0:32:23.756
<v Speaker 1>I had an interesting face, and then you're like, what

0:32:23.796 --> 0:32:27.316
<v Speaker 1>do you do on tonight he was into it La la.

0:32:27.716 --> 0:32:35.676
<v Speaker 1>Though It's almost four pm and Montreal's winter sun is

0:32:35.676 --> 0:32:38.596
<v Speaker 1>already beginning to set, and our prospects for a dinner

0:32:38.596 --> 0:32:42.836
<v Speaker 1>party are dimming as well. Back at our place, things

0:32:42.876 --> 0:32:46.636
<v Speaker 1>go from labad to the worse. Daniel's back seizes up

0:32:46.676 --> 0:32:50.276
<v Speaker 1>and she might have to abandon our mission altogether. As

0:32:50.276 --> 0:32:52.716
<v Speaker 1>I sit at the kitchen table, nibbling on a nunfart,

0:32:53.156 --> 0:32:55.116
<v Speaker 1>it strikes me it's going to take a miracle to

0:32:55.196 --> 0:32:59.756
<v Speaker 1>turn things around. And where do miracles reside? Well, Mark

0:32:59.796 --> 0:33:02.716
<v Speaker 1>Twain said when he visited Montreal, you couldn't throw a

0:33:02.756 --> 0:33:05.556
<v Speaker 1>brick in this town without breaking a church window. I'm

0:33:05.556 --> 0:33:08.476
<v Speaker 1>with Mark Elsworthy, an architecture buff who works with the

0:33:08.476 --> 0:33:10.516
<v Speaker 1>local Ministry of Heritage. So right now we're in the

0:33:10.596 --> 0:33:14.036
<v Speaker 1>not Cadam the Bonsacle Chapel. It's the oldest in one

0:33:14.076 --> 0:33:16.356
<v Speaker 1>of the oldest churches in Montreal looked dates to the

0:33:16.396 --> 0:33:18.876
<v Speaker 1>nineteenth they called the Sailors Church. And my eye is

0:33:18.916 --> 0:33:24.436
<v Speaker 1>going immediately to these wonderful boats that are hanging with candles. Yeah,

0:33:24.516 --> 0:33:27.236
<v Speaker 1>there's even a cargo ship with containers on it. Oh, yeah,

0:33:27.276 --> 0:33:29.076
<v Speaker 1>that is a cargo ship. And so they have two

0:33:29.116 --> 0:33:31.876
<v Speaker 1>candles in each of them, green candles, like I kind

0:33:31.876 --> 0:33:33.916
<v Speaker 1>of want to. I'm not going to steal them, but

0:33:34.076 --> 0:33:37.116
<v Speaker 1>I would hope not. But they feel like someone can't

0:33:37.116 --> 0:33:39.596
<v Speaker 1>we instagram it and then start a shop that sells them.

0:33:39.916 --> 0:33:43.996
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I feel even bad taking pictures and churches. No, okay,

0:33:44.316 --> 0:33:47.156
<v Speaker 1>you know a harbor town, it's considered usually a honky

0:33:47.196 --> 0:33:49.956
<v Speaker 1>punk like red light district and certainly in the Prohibition.

0:33:50.036 --> 0:33:53.036
<v Speaker 1>Montreal serve that role to this day, maybe with Americans.

0:33:53.516 --> 0:33:55.996
<v Speaker 1>But there's so many churches. It's interesting that there's this.

0:33:56.276 --> 0:33:59.636
<v Speaker 1>Caebecers are interesting. On the census, they all still fell

0:33:59.676 --> 0:34:02.796
<v Speaker 1>out that they're Roman Catholic and Quebeca has the lowest

0:34:02.836 --> 0:34:06.796
<v Speaker 1>church attendants in Canada. Church is really tied into identity

0:34:06.836 --> 0:34:09.436
<v Speaker 1>but not practice. Yeah, don't come to the church. They

0:34:09.436 --> 0:34:11.556
<v Speaker 1>may have been for grandma's funeral a while back or

0:34:11.596 --> 0:34:14.036
<v Speaker 1>maybe not, or you know, but no one does baptisms.

0:34:14.076 --> 0:34:16.876
<v Speaker 1>People don't get married in the church. M Are there

0:34:16.876 --> 0:34:19.596
<v Speaker 1>any other facets of this chapel or that really that

0:34:19.676 --> 0:34:21.476
<v Speaker 1>you're that you like or do you want to point out, well,

0:34:21.476 --> 0:34:23.716
<v Speaker 1>we have to light a candle for someone, Oh my god,

0:34:23.956 --> 0:34:29.596
<v Speaker 1>actually it should Okay, we could light a candle for

0:34:29.716 --> 0:34:33.236
<v Speaker 1>back pain to go away. Yeah, for Danielle who's suffering

0:34:33.236 --> 0:34:38.956
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Okay, good thought. There we are. There,

0:34:38.956 --> 0:34:41.996
<v Speaker 1>we are a moment. I usually only light candles a

0:34:42.076 --> 0:34:45.676
<v Speaker 1>romantic dinners, but here it could lead to a romantic dinner.

0:34:46.156 --> 0:34:50.716
<v Speaker 1>Nobody knows they could. I just felt a pang of

0:34:50.756 --> 0:34:54.276
<v Speaker 1>Catholic guilt I when I lit that candle. I did

0:34:54.276 --> 0:34:59.156
<v Speaker 1>not light the candle for Danielle's back. I lit the

0:34:59.156 --> 0:35:03.436
<v Speaker 1>candle because we need to find a place to eat tonight.

0:35:03.916 --> 0:35:05.516
<v Speaker 1>Because the whole point of this show was for us

0:35:05.596 --> 0:35:08.036
<v Speaker 1>to learn about the town, but then then get into

0:35:08.076 --> 0:35:11.716
<v Speaker 1>someone's home to kind of have a true authentic experience.

0:35:12.076 --> 0:35:14.476
<v Speaker 1>And so far, um, we've had a lot of people

0:35:14.516 --> 0:35:16.836
<v Speaker 1>are very friendly. But when I've asked him that question,

0:35:17.276 --> 0:35:20.436
<v Speaker 1>they've you know, been like, oh, well, maybe contact us later.

0:35:20.916 --> 0:35:24.356
<v Speaker 1>And I promised the company paying for this, then I'm

0:35:24.356 --> 0:35:26.636
<v Speaker 1>going to get into someone's home. What do you think

0:35:27.156 --> 0:35:29.076
<v Speaker 1>it's Saturday night? Even if you just let us in

0:35:29.116 --> 0:35:32.356
<v Speaker 1>for ten minutes, could we just after lying in church?

0:35:32.476 --> 0:35:34.956
<v Speaker 1>You want to come to my house, I'll confessing to you.

0:35:35.396 --> 0:35:37.116
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I wished for when I let the candle.

0:35:37.156 --> 0:35:38.836
<v Speaker 1>So if there is a god, you got me on

0:35:38.876 --> 0:35:43.556
<v Speaker 1>that one. Okay, Well, can I brought your phone and

0:35:43.596 --> 0:35:49.236
<v Speaker 1>then I'll just call my husband? Okay, Um, I think

0:35:48.556 --> 0:35:51.676

<v Speaker 1>Leonard Cohens. There are Francophone community elsewhere in Canada that

0:37:25.076 --> 0:37:28.556
<v Speaker 1>we bought that the Quebec class store where Danielle hit

0:37:28.636 --> 0:37:38.876

0:37:48.196 --> 0:37:52.236

<v Speaker 1>literally just by as play as so you can both

0:38:23.796 --> 0:38:37.436
<v Speaker 1>stick along already hit it rale le bas By. This

0:38:37.556 --> 0:39:09.436
<v Speaker 1>should be your theme song by Where's driving? But you

0:39:09.436 --> 0:39:11.956
<v Speaker 1>can walk up as well. Oh yeah, I mean it's

0:39:11.996 --> 0:39:14.356
<v Speaker 1>a bit cold, and yeah, you gotta be caught entering.

0:39:14.516 --> 0:39:16.836
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're also we're also to be fair hungover

0:39:16.916 --> 0:39:22.036
<v Speaker 1>right now that that doesn't help. But this street will

0:39:22.396 --> 0:39:25.836
<v Speaker 1>wind us up to the top of the mountain. And

0:39:25.956 --> 0:39:28.436
<v Speaker 1>do people actually come to Mount Royal who live here

0:39:28.756 --> 0:39:32.716
<v Speaker 1>love it it is? I guess would be like our

0:39:32.876 --> 0:39:36.596
<v Speaker 1>central Park, but it's on a mountain. People are cross

0:39:36.676 --> 0:39:42.356
<v Speaker 1>country ski yeah, show snowshoeing. We have a skating rink

0:39:42.436 --> 0:39:45.836
<v Speaker 1>on the top. Now we're looking to the east side

0:39:45.836 --> 0:39:51.076
<v Speaker 1>of the city, but a lookout is that way? Okay, okay,

0:39:54.076 --> 0:39:58.076
<v Speaker 1>be careful on the ice. Oh look at that I've

0:39:58.116 --> 0:40:02.236
<v Speaker 1>never seen a snowshoe in action. Oh yeah, what a

0:40:02.276 --> 0:40:04.676
<v Speaker 1>weekend like that. We did a lot. We did a lot,

0:40:05.796 --> 0:40:07.956
<v Speaker 1>but we were talking about coming as we're coming into

0:40:07.996 --> 0:40:10.796
<v Speaker 1>the city, kind of like our love lives and romance

0:40:10.836 --> 0:40:13.276
<v Speaker 1>and all this stuff. And I think I'm much more

0:40:13.356 --> 0:40:14.796
<v Speaker 1>likely to fall in love with a place than I

0:40:14.836 --> 0:40:20.076
<v Speaker 1>am with a person. That's interesting there, it is, there's

0:40:20.076 --> 0:40:23.836
<v Speaker 1>a city that you love. We're looking at the downtown,

0:40:23.956 --> 0:40:27.196
<v Speaker 1>the Saint Lawrence River. Look at Letter Cohen down there.

0:40:28.436 --> 0:40:31.396
<v Speaker 1>You see him. Yeah, there's literally a mural of letter

0:40:31.476 --> 0:40:34.236
<v Speaker 1>going down there. Oh my god, I thought you saw

0:40:34.276 --> 0:40:38.276
<v Speaker 1>an operation when I was at that Letter Cohne house,

0:40:38.476 --> 0:40:42.316
<v Speaker 1>which I honestly did meet a member of Arcade Fire.

0:40:42.396 --> 0:40:45.356
<v Speaker 1>You have to believe me. I don't. But it's fine.

0:40:45.716 --> 0:40:47.916
<v Speaker 1>I'll play you the tape later if you need that

0:40:47.956 --> 0:40:51.916
<v Speaker 1>story to get through the weekend. That's fine being there, honestly, Like,

0:40:51.956 --> 0:40:53.796
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad I saw the house, but actually the fact

0:40:53.876 --> 0:40:56.636
<v Speaker 1>that it was really not that exciting an anticlimactic in

0:40:56.676 --> 0:40:59.196
<v Speaker 1>the sense that it was just someone's home. This is

0:40:59.196 --> 0:41:01.516
<v Speaker 1>gonna sound corny, but obviously I've been thinking a lot

0:41:01.516 --> 0:41:04.436
<v Speaker 1>about like being an artist or being more creative with

0:41:04.476 --> 0:41:09.436
<v Speaker 1>my old show ending, and there's no magical properties to it,

0:41:09.476 --> 0:41:12.076
<v Speaker 1>Like even Leonard Cohen just lived in a house and

0:41:12.516 --> 0:41:16.516
<v Speaker 1>bought bananas, And it's more about just doing the work

0:41:16.676 --> 0:41:20.116
<v Speaker 1>and getting it into the world, you know. But it's

0:41:20.156 --> 0:41:22.036
<v Speaker 1>not like me living a certain way will make me

0:41:22.276 --> 0:41:25.156
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Cohen or something that's always been the key though

0:41:25.196 --> 0:41:27.236
<v Speaker 1>you know that well. I mean, I'm just pretending to

0:41:27.316 --> 0:41:36.196
<v Speaker 1>learn it now for the show. I think it is

0:41:36.236 --> 0:41:39.876
<v Speaker 1>crazy that Leonard Cohen is staring directly at us. I

0:41:39.876 --> 0:41:41.556
<v Speaker 1>think it's crazy that you thought I was talking about

0:41:41.556 --> 0:41:45.836
<v Speaker 1>a ghost. Honestly, we didn't go over this, but marijuana

0:41:45.876 --> 0:41:48.476
<v Speaker 1>is legal here now and last night did run pretty long,

0:41:50.596 --> 0:41:54.396
<v Speaker 1>no comment. You know what I think about when I

0:41:54.396 --> 0:42:00.356
<v Speaker 1>look in the skyline now, boyash Boy, you are not

0:42:00.396 --> 0:42:04.996
<v Speaker 1>only cheating voyage boy, but you're singing it really poorly.

0:42:05.236 --> 0:42:12.196
<v Speaker 1>Boyash Boy, I'm gonna walk that way. I feel free here. No,

0:42:14.836 --> 0:42:17.116
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll just fade that the real song into

0:42:17.156 --> 0:42:21.876
<v Speaker 1>my singing and people won't notice it. Fun Boy thinks

0:42:21.876 --> 0:42:26.036
<v Speaker 1>you're singing a totally different song. I think it's only

0:42:26.036 --> 0:43:10.636
<v Speaker 1>going to try to find the lead producer on this.

0:43:10.876 --> 0:43:14.236
<v Speaker 1>The pilot episode of Not Lost was the talented Crystal Duhaime.

0:43:14.756 --> 0:43:17.356
<v Speaker 1>The show was also produced and written by Me Brendon

0:43:17.396 --> 0:43:22.076
<v Speaker 1>Francis Newnham. Our associate producer was Jackson Musker. Special editorial

0:43:22.116 --> 0:43:25.236
<v Speaker 1>guidance came from Europert Wintock. The show was sound designed

0:43:25.236 --> 0:43:28.476
<v Speaker 1>and mixed by Crystal Duhaime and mastered by Hannas Brown.

0:43:28.996 --> 0:43:31.876
<v Speaker 1>A big thanks to my friend and this episode's travel partner,

0:43:31.996 --> 0:43:35.556
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Henderson. I highly recommend you check out her memoir

0:43:35.676 --> 0:43:38.836
