Is that not your thing?
38:30
Um, I do have a podcast.
38:33
Uh, we're trying to grow it.
38:35
Uh, it's called Bankus Podcast.
38:37
And, um, I've had a few people on my podcast, actually.
38:41
I've had...
38:42
I had Cam Patterson on my podcast, I had, um, you know, a few other...

5 MINS LATER

43:52
You might share that on stage
32:42
And then will
32:43
help you get a job, but not just here's fistfuls of cash and fucking needles.
32:48
In Canada, they're doing this with the indigenous population.
32:51
This is like the most sensitive thing to talk about if you're there.
32:57
Native Americans, Native Canadians, but Native Americans were much more well off from my knowledge than Native Canadians for whatever reason.
33:05
But they're giving them tons and tons of money And then they're just going, it's not enough.
33:10
So like they're giving every single person 100 grand and then they're like, it's not enough.

7 MINS LATER

39:53
Yeah.
98:06
Like, we can take some-
98:07
What I find so weird is that all the problems that exist in places like California or New York, like for instance homelessness or the drugs or the just, like s- garbage everywhere and just trash and shit, um, is the Democrats are the ones who claim to care more about those exact things than anybody el- the Republicans, they don't care about poor people.
98:32
They don't care about the homeless.
98:33
They don't care about, uh, you know, w- women who get raped or they don't care about that.
98:39
But then that's all that's happening in Democrat cities, [laughs] and you go to a Republican place and it's like quiet.
99:04
So it's like ironic-
99:05
They're easier to manipulate.
99:05
It's, it is ...
51:19
So-
51:20
What are you supposed to do with that? And now people are...
51:22
So it's like Jews are bad, whites are bad, the only good thing is Muslims and gays.
51:27
And, but then when it's only Muslims and gays, the Muslims are gonna kill the gays.
51:30
So really it's just a Muslim takeover where they're pretending that they h- like, you know, oh, well, yeah, no, we're at, you know, like Mamdani, "Oh, we love the gays, and we love the Jews," and it's like, but you don't.
51:42
Your wife literally tweeted all kinds of crazy shit celebrating October 7th.
51:46
I mean, you can't celebrate October 7th and be like, "No, but I don't hate Jews, it's just Israel." They're killing innocent fucking f- 22-year-old s- good-looking women, put- shooting them in the head, and this is supposed to be like, "Oh, well, you know, look what's happening to the children in Gaza." Who gives a shit? Seriously? Who...

7 MINS LATER

58:54
Yeah
55:09
[laughs]
55:09
So there's not really, there's not really... [laughs] There's barely a, a border to begin with, uh, so going back to do comedy is, is pretty chill.
55:18
And honestly, I've, I've crossed the border and had people recognize me at the border.
55:23
Like, I've had border guards be like, "I love your stuff.
55:25
I saw you in London, Ontario, buddy.
55:27
You're..." So there's, it's, it's weird because there's, like, this underlying, you know, conservatism in Canada.
55:35
Same with, I mean, the US was lucky enough to elect Trump, but Canada still has, uh, a ton of, of left-wing people.
57:33
[laughs]

4:32
[laughs]
4:32
I don't know what to say.
4:34
It's the same thing in Canada.
4:35
Canada does not have ICE.
4:36
I think the number is now around 400,000 people waiting for deportation who've had...
4:43
Or more.
4:43
Maybe there's millions.

83:00
Mm.
speaker_32UNKNOWN
61:07
[laughs]
61:07
What's going on? I, uh, I got two kids.
61:10
I just had my second kid, and, uh, yeah, my wife, she tells people, yeah, we had a second kid, you know, for our daughter, so she'd have a friend.
61:18
Like, yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking tooI'm just fucking my wife, like, "Oh, it's for my daughter, actually.
61:26
[laughs]
61:35
[laughs]
61:36
But I got a son now.
61:37
Every, every guy wants to have a son, right? 'Cause it's manly and, you know.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
74:55
I don't know how it could be intentional.
74:57
It's like a hindsight 20/20 thing, you know how it's like you- you look back...
75:01
Like looking at art history now through the lens of that we have social media or just art in general or movies or...
75:09
Like the first movie theaters that were Nickelodeons and you...
75:12
They literally watched one reel.
75:14
Like you'd pay five cents to watch the equivalent of one, like a one-minute movie.
75:19
And then it became, "Well, we need longer movies," but now we all just...
