Yeah.

Oh, boy. That's fun. Write us an email, guys. Tell us your story. Give us your problems. Let's figure it out. I love hearing from people. I love people's problems. It's so interesting. SorryAboutLastNightShow at gmail.com. Today's subject line, Canadian woman brutally murdered by abusive boyfriend and he gets off free. Hi, guys. I need your help. I really want to spread awareness about the case of Kiara Agnew of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada. If you... Sorry. If you...

If you Google her name, you can see the news articles with all the details. But to summarize it, her and her boyfriend went on vacation to Mexico and she was found brutally beaten to death. Wonder who did it.

Probably some guy. What a mystery. Probably a guy she never met before. I don't know if we're ever going to be able to solve this. No. Following her death, many witnesses of his years of abuse to her have come forward and shared their stories, as well as her diary entries that go into detail of all that she's endured at the hands of Ryan Friesen. That's F-R-I-E-S-E-N, if you were curious. The news was just released that the Mexican courts have found him not guilty.

Even though there is DNA evidence and just of course he did it.

Their reason for stating his innocence. So let's hang up if I was the lawyer. Yeah. I mean, duh. Yes, of course. Case closed. I rest my case. The reason for stating his innocence is that they say her body was beaten too brutally for it to have just been one person. Oh, challenge accepted. And then Ryan Friesen said, hold my beer. Following her death, he...

His hands were black and blue and swollen, as they would be after brutally beating somebody. And yet, they don't believe that's enough evidence either. If you search up Caitlin Levesque on Facebook,

Which I believe is her sister. You can see in more detail all of the evidence of Ryan Friesen's, again, that's F-R-I-E-S-E-N, allegedly, Chad. Get off my dick. Abuse. This story breaks my heart and I wanted to spread awareness and be a voice of Kiara. Please share this with your audience. This is an article that I found after looking it up. 23 found dead in Cancun area hotel. Jesus Christ. Wow.

Jesus Christ. A Canadian man accused of killing a woman in Dawson's Creek. I didn't know there was a Dawson Creek, B.C. Neither did I. Both were in Mexico. Mexican police found 23-year-old Kiara Agnew dead in a laundry room at a resort. Okay, don't these places have cameras? How the fuck does a resort not have a camera? It may not in Mexico. Really? Cancun?

Signs of possible violence. Family says... Or a lot of times they're broken, in quotes. Family says she traveled to the Riviera Maya shore with her boyfriend to celebrate a birthday. Family members of the victim and the accused both confirmed the Canadian man's acquittal. Neither Mexican police nor Canadian authorities have named the now-acquitted man. Don't worry, it's Ryan Pearson. The acquitted man's mother... I love how we're protecting him. What? That always happens, yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Are you not sad that your girlfriend, your son's girlfriend just got beaten to death? What the fuck? Mm.

Yo, okay. When I saw that Scott Peterson documentary, the amount that Scott Peterson's family really didn't think he did it is wild. Because they seem, like, especially his sister...

She seemed like such a grounded person, like a very logical person. But I'm like, man, even they can be – But I mean think about like if someone said your brother murdered someone. I mean that would be hard for you to believe, wouldn't it? It would be very hard. But I would be like, whoa, let's look into this. What? Like I wouldn't go, what the fuck, DJ? I'd be like – probably my instant reaction would be like, you got the wrong guy. But evidence is evidence. I mean I've swallowed tough pills over a lot of stuff. So –

It's uncomfortable, but I don't know. It's weird. It's weird. So thank you for sharing that article. Yeah. That's just another example of women getting the dead end of the stick. Okay. Guys, speaking of domestic violence, I still have a GoFundMe for my friend who was with somebody who –

beat the crap out of her and verbally and emotionally abused her and she's now pregnant with a daughter and is not going to be seeing this person again but is fighting a heavy pretty hefty court battle and has no money because he took it so

So if you have the funds, there's a link in my Instagram bio at Christina Hutch where you can donate even if it's a dollar. Like if 100 people donated a dollar, that's 100 bucks. That's amazing. So every dollar really does count. I appreciate you if you've already donated. Thank you so much. And then – Oh, and just like a heads up for that. I tried to donate like a week ago and like it wouldn't –

I did it I was doing it for my phone because I wanted to use Apple Pay and it like wouldn't go through so I actually was going to text you oh shit I gotta check that out well number one I want to make sure it didn't go through before I do it again but I'm like I just was wondering if anyone else was like having trouble with it oh okay I didn't hear anything but I think most people would do it from their phone because it's easier yeah yeah yeah well thank you yeah I'll check it I'll look into that but I was just like thanks for that update

Um, and, uh, not sure when this is coming out, but, uh, October 24th is the next hooch. And then Toronto, Canada, January 17th and 18th. I'm going to be a comedy bar. And, uh,

The week before that, January 10th and 11th, I'll be in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Looney Bin. And as always, my solo podcast, The Voices in Our Heads, it comes out every single Monday. I'm interviewing people who can talk to aliens, so you're going to want to fucking get on that. And Patreon, once a week I do a Zoom for one hour where we talk about anything and everything under the sun. You can tell me about your alien story or you can tell me that your dad raped you. And both are welcome.

And we'll talk about it. Let's talk about it. I hate when people – when things are – subjects that are so uncomfortable that people don't end up talking about it because it's going to make other people feel uncomfortable. I don't think there's one thing under the sun that I feel – that like I feel so uncomfortable talking about that I won't talk about. So yeah, it's a really open space and it's really cathartic and really healing and not meant to take the place of therapy. However, it is a great supplement to – like an adjacent. Like a vitamin. Exactly.

And if you're into politics or you want to get more into politics or you're absolutely not into politics and you think maybe there's someone that could make politics more digestible for me, I'm your gal. Check out Without a Country. It live streams on YouTube every Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern time. You can call in. We can discuss stories.

And then November 6th, I will be headlining the Vixen in McHenry, Illinois. So you can get those tickets at the link in my bio.

There we go. At which is? At Eric Freddy. Good. Almost did it. Almost did it. Did it. Amazing. Now get that jaw fixed. Amazing. What's going on with you? Well, two things that I think are, well, one is a really heavy one, but it's a quick. When Melania Trump, her book. Oh, yeah.

My husband, Donald, he's a good man. Like, it's just her fucking, I'm like, what is that accent? But also, the production value on these videos she's posted on her Instagram to promote her memoir are a joke. I'm like, what the fuck, lady? You're rich. Afford better videographers. Maybe it's just like an AI. And maybe she's dead.

Maybe it's AI. These AIs get pretty good. You know what, though? The production value is so bad on her videos that I'm like, what is the explanation? And I went through a couple in my head. That one was not one of them. But that one would make the most sense. What did you think? It was like she's trapped in a closet? No, just like she just doesn't care. Like maybe because she doesn't...

English is her... But she speaks English perfectly well. I'm like, maybe she doesn't understand the production value of videos these days, but I'm like, she has a fucking phone. She has a team. Yeah. So I'm like, there's no... Every explanation I threw out in my head, I'm like, no, that's not plausible in any way. Yeah. But I thought it was really interesting that Dan Savage pointed out that...

Melania very fervently stated she was pro-choice. And I immediately go, I think that's going to make people feel more comfortable voting for Trump. It's historically a tactic that presidents' wives have used to our anti-choice. So I didn't realize. And then Dan Savage pointed out that tactic. I'm like, oh, word? Fuck you, bitch. Fuck.

fuck you bitch. Every time they do anything, I hear the White Stripes song, I think I smell a rat every time. That's literally what's playing in my head. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm like, but when I first saw the video or when she first posted that she was pro-choice, I fell for that shit immediately. I was like, well, that's great.

That's great. Right. It is convincing. It is convincing. It is convincing. Because that's my initial response was that too. And I go, no, this is... Then I was like, correct. I was like, you're being hypnotized. I was like, this is 100%. Nothing is as it seems, especially this close. We're in October now. This close to a presidential election. And I'm talking on both sides. Nothing is what it seems. Oh, actually, speaking of, I mean, did you hear all the...

Were you done with that Sorry I'm like Yeah yeah Going to another Yeah It's an adjacent thing But um The Doug Emhoff Allegations You didn't hear about this No Oh wait Pull him up Cause it was He was accused of like Hitting a woman In a past relationship And then I think he got Like someone pregnant Kind of Dave Roll style Oh at a

While he was with Kamala? No, they don't care Hitting, I care But you can also be somebody who hits somebody And then you change But that's also hope If Donald Trump did that, we would not be I know Well, like Donald Trump had so many affairs all the time I don't think he's having affairs anymore So yeah, Harris' husband This is from the New York Post Harris' husband cheated on wife with nanny and got her pregnant Is that true though?

I think it is. I don't think he has that. Emhoff acknowledges affair during first marriage after tabloid report. This is from CNN. Oh, I don't think so. Yeah. The hitting is interesting, though. Yeah, he acknowledged he had an affair during his first marriage after the alleged details of the relationship were actually published initially by a British tabloid. Okay, okay. Mind your fucking business.

His quote is during my I know During my first marriage Kirsten and I Went through some tough times On account of my actions I took responsibility And in the years since We have worked things out And have come out stronger On the other side I agree I mean like Affairs I don't care about Like affairs Yeah

How you handle them, I observe how you handle them for sure. But affairs, I don't know. And this child doesn't – it's not like a child exists from this affair. She got pregnant, I think, but had an abortion. Okay. An abortion, it seems. So – and then wait. Doug – I had forgotten about this, but then it just reminded me when you were talking about Melania. Hit –

woman yeah i love googling doug i'm not hit trumps team's probably jerking off to that headline what is it from a reputable source yeah this is cnn uh allegedly struck an ex-girlfriend while the two were leaving an event at the can film festival in france in 2012 crazy to strike first of all he's had cans yeah why what the fuck he did he got cool he i'm apparently he only dates powerful women maybe that's his kink

That's a great post reports. Doug Emhoff response to report that he forcefully slapped ex-girlfriend in 2012. The second gentleman was accused of assault and an alleged fit of jealousy by three friends of the woman who spoke to a British tabloid. We all get carried away. A spokesperson said this report is untrue. Any suggestion that he would or ever has hit a woman is false. Is the woman who got hit the one saying this?

Um, let's see. Because that's who I want to, that's the only person I want to hear from. Wait, Emhoff may have lashed out in a fit of jealousy, the friends said, over perceived flirtation by the woman toward a valet. She reportedly slapped Emhoff back. The alleged victim declined to speak to the outlet. Um, that's all there really is. Oh, okay. So I would imagine, though, if she declined to speak, I wonder if it was just like a...

Something that wasn't indicative of his character. I mean, and also at the end of the day, he's not running for president. Yeah. I guess. I mean, we've heard way worse accusations. Let's also be sexist against them and then hold the man accountable for his woman. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I feel like women get blamed for the actions of their husbands all the time. For sure. So...

Yeah. Yeah, I'm not. I didn't hear about that, but... I just wanted to be fair. No, yeah, for sure. For sure. It's interesting. But I don't think... To me, that doesn't grip me in terms of like...

questioning his character. But also, I don't know any of these people we're talking about. I don't know what their lives are like. Maybe they're all, maybe Melania Trump's a fucking fantastic hang. I heard she wasn't, but maybe she is. Who did you hear she wasn't from? A comics. Oh, they know her? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's done a few, because Donald's done a bunch of shit with comics. Like back in the day. Right. And Melania's there. And they're like, one comic I was talking to saw Melania like five years ago or whatever. And he was like, she's the hottest person

person a lot really it makes she's so hot oh she's so beautiful that's not my kind of hot that's why i think she looks like a robot a little bit but like yeah but i can see it super hot like jesus like if her at 22 go fuck yourself but like i still think she is one of the most beautiful women like she's ugly on the inside but like so beautiful on the outside and so i'm like maybe that's why she behaves the way she does she just acts like a dumb fuck but i'm like when you're that hot

People like are nervous talking to you. You can be nice. I mean hottest person I've ever still to this day seen in real life is Carmen Electra and she's very kind. That's true. So it is true. It is possible. That's true. And like Pam Anderson super fucking hot grounded the whole time. Yeah. Very grounded. I guess it depends on who you are. Well I don't know if she was grounded when she was with Tommy Lee. Yeah. Well you fucked her into the ground I bet. Like physically like in a good way. Yeah. Not in a bad way. Yeah. Um.

But this is switching gears a little bit really quick. But this is something I've been thinking about because we're recording this in October. And I don't know if this might come out in early November. But – and this is about war. This is about Gaza and Israel. But I – It is October 7th. Yes. Yeah. That's why I've been thinking about it because I'm like, oh, you know, and I don't –

you know, I'm not trying to hold myself. I should say things about the war. No, no, that's not why I'm saying, I hate when people say things because they think they should. It's not, that's not coming from an honest place, but because it is October 7th, um, when we record this, um, I was just thinking of this concept of like, man, if I was Israeli and I, and I had somebody I loved, um,

get raped and parade their body paraded around by Hamas I would spend the rest of my life making sure whoever fucking did that suffered so greatly I would dedicate my whole life to that and then I think if I lived in Palestine and we are trying to

live and we're getting policed and we're in an open air prison and then we're getting hurled into these areas that are safe and then being bombed. I would also spend the rest of my life making sure that every Israeli suffered or knew what my suffering was. And I'm like, damn, this is how. I think that's exactly what's happening. Yes. And I'm like, but someone's got to drop.

Someone's got to stop. Well, that's why I don't think it's something that's... I honestly don't feel like it's... And human nature. I'm like, human nature... It's mostly men. It's mostly men. But I'm like, human nature is brutal. It can be really dark and really brutal when you look at wars. Like fucking World War I and World War II. Like, what the fuck? But it's really...

It's like... We're also just not that distant from pretty barbaric times. I mean... Right. I went to the Renaissance Fair this weekend, which has... I mean, you go, oh, it has very little to do with the conversation. I actually think it does because you think a lot about... I always laugh when I go to the Renaissance Fair because I'm like, leave it to white people to be celebrating one of the most terrible times in human history. When you look at Renaissance-style tortures and stuff. Yeah. But I mean, it's...

In the grand scheme of time We're not that far From the renaissance period Right And during those times Literally if you like Fucking wore the wrong Color of clothing You're being You know Locked in a cage Where rats are eating Your eyes out Right So we have come far Yeah

Yeah, but I do feel like this, you know, just humanity started with you don't do the right thing. You will pay with your life and you will pay with torture and it will be barbaric. Yes. And so we're like, we've come a long way, but that's also still in our blood. And it also at the spine of all of this, it's control. And it's control over like,

Say one of my... Say my sister. I don't have a sister. But if she was at the music festival and was raped and they paraded her body...

The amount of rage that I would feel from that, I would feel so out of control that I would make – so me making it a point to personally end Hamas myself would be a control issue because I don't know how to control my anger. So like I'm funneling into here and I feel like everybody is just funneling their control issues at each other and this is how this shit happens and it's just really – it's really sad. Yeah.

Well, and it's also like because it has this religious foundation. So it's two almost, you know, dueling religions. It becomes very dogmatic. Yeah, sure. And I think once you get into that, the same is like it's similar to politics with religion in that like these people,

people know like I am, they believe I am definitively right in my beliefs. And this is like, this is a greater good. And this is, um, a power that is, uh, bigger than, you know, human existence in this realm. Uh, yeah. How can you get around that? Yeah. Yeah. That's a real, I just don't really know how you can, how you can. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's what I was thinking about. All right. Yeah.

You okay? How you doing? I'm good. Yeah. Yeah. Our guest is great, too. I love this guy. Very cheery. Yeah. I love he he's one. He's so you booked him on the show because you enjoy talking to him. Yeah. Well, I yeah, I I showed up at a show and I was just it was a very anxiety inducing day because of some medical things I was going through. And I don't really know. I didn't at the time know him that well. I still don't really know him that well. But he's, you know, friends with Ryan Long. And I

and Che Durena and I kind of just gave him a lot of information that I, I overshared basically heavily with him because I was just such a me move. Yeah. I just overshadowed. I needed to tell someone about the medical issues I had gone through that day. And he was there. And, um, I realized as it was coming out of my mouth is this is way too much to be telling a person that I knew at this level. Um, but he was so, uh, receptive and knowledgeable, uh,

About what I was Going through As a woman medically That I said You know what Let's sit you down I'm a guy as we fuck couch Let's get this on These mics baby Yeah yeah yeah He's a stand up comedian Hailing from Canada Which will be very obvious When you hear him talk He's so kind Perhaps the most Canadian person I've ever met

Guys, we are here with stand-up comedian Danny Martinello. Hey. You're so Canadian. Yeah, yeah. I was waiting for it. We actually brought you here to discuss how Canadian you are. Yeah. So, like the walk signs, every time I do a show in Canada, I have a bit about the walk signs, the white light-up man walking. Like in New York, the guy's looking down. He doesn't care about anything. And in Canada, he's looking up and he's scared.

skipping yeah you're that guy yeah yeah you're the white walking canadian sign i guess i am yeah i don't know i think it's like kind of funny it's like fitting with the walking signs here in new york where everybody's like looking down and he looks like he's disheveled and pissed off he's got a cross wife he hates his kids yeah but he's in the city chasing his dreams yeah exactly yeah

So that's cool. You seem, you seem very genuinely happy. Is this? Yeah. I'm suspect. Yeah. You said you were expecting a cross examination. Yeah. Why are you so happy? Why are you so happy? I don't know. I think it's just because I come from like the prairies. And so like every sound. Yeah. Yeah. So I,

And I don't know. I just kind of live my life where I'm like, I'd rather be like happy than like sad. Cause there's so many like sad people around and like, yeah. And it like, it adds to like the hang, you know, like, yeah. You don't want a Californian Canadian. Yeah. So they say I shred it. Have you ever been to California?

been to California? Yeah, yeah, several times. That's where I actually first met you girls. Right. Oh, right. You just said that. Okay. Yeah, but then I also studied at Groundlings for like a couple months. So do you choose this happy demeanor or does it come natural to you? Yeah, every day I got to actively kind of choose it, but I think it just generally... See, that not sounds scary. That's not scary. I wake up in the morning. I fight away the demon. Well, of course, like sometimes you wake up and you're like, oh man, like you're not feeling it, you know? So you got to kind of like...

especially in comedy where you're like, you come from a night where it's like a shitty show and you're like, oh man, what am I doing here? You know? I was going to say, what does a bad day look like to Danny Martinelli?

I get up a little bit later than I usually do. What time are we talking specifically? Lately, I've been getting up around 10. Ooh, bad boy. That's a good calm when you wake up time. Noon's sad. 10's good. It's still the morning, but most people are already at work.

Well, it's hard for me to get out of bed too because I just love it. And then when you get into that comfortable state where you're like a little kitten and your hands are pawing at the end, you're like, I don't want to, I don't want to. But you don't have like your parents to be like, it's time to get up. So you're like, I'm going to exercise my right as an adult to sleep in an extra little bit. Wow, you're like a kid in a man's body.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little baby boy. Did something happen to you as a child? No, I think that's the thing, too, where it's like everybody's like, oh, did you have some kind of like shit? Like, obviously, you have like your traumas growing up, but it wasn't like it wasn't like anything bad. It was more so like, I don't know. Happy traumas? Maybe I didn't get enough hugs from my father growing up. Okay. But my mom babied me a lot, which was nice, but...

You like that? Well, yeah. Women can't stand that. Yeah, well, I don't know. We come from an Italian household, right? So it's like mom's kind of like the top dog of it all. Yeah. Yeah, and she was a bit of a breadwinner too. Oh, badass. It double offset my dad. Is that why your dad didn't hug you as much? Because he was...

No, I think he was just closer with my brother, like the firstborn. And then he was like, eh, I don't really get along with you. Yeah, maybe I suckled my mother better than my brother or something. Where we had a bond, you know? Where she's like, oh, this kid. And I was more of like a...

That's how we do impressions of mama's voice. It's identical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't wait to go home for Christmas. The tit's not dry yet, girls. She gives you your stocking early. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know. But I just think it's like...

So your dad's, like, eh, towards you, but your mom's, like... No, my dad's, like, affectionate as well, but, like, I think it was just he was more stricter, right? And he came from, like, an immigrant family, so I'm, like, the first kind of, like, born Canadian of ourself. So I think he, like, brought in some of that, like, immigrant, like, trauma or, like, not so much nurturing that his father didn't give him, right? Yeah, of course. So maybe it just kind of was that chain and he had to be that...

Well, I don't know. He's more of like a kind of a strict, like, I wouldn't say cold, but you know, it's like not warm as... So cold. Yeah, sometimes. Yeah, mild, you know? He's like... Clammy. Yeah.

Yeah, like when the dish has been on the oven for a little bit. His life is cold. It's wonderful. Like a smile. Yeah. So I don't know, but I had like a good upbringing. It wasn't like bad or anything like that. Yeah. As I looked down, it wasn't bad. Your happiness doesn't feel like, are you going to explode one day and like shoot up a dorm room? Like it doesn't feel like that. Yeah, like I have a Michael Douglas moment where I don't get my burger on time and I just snap. You just lose it. Have you ever lost your temper?

Yeah, I was like a bit of a hothead like growing up. Oh. Yeah, and then I had to go through like kid programs and stuff. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. What kid programs were you in? It was called COPE. It was called Children Overcoming Problems Effectively. Oh, that's so Canadian. So Canadian. Yeah, but it was like brutal because you'd be at like family functions or like gatherings, but it was extracurricular because it was like mandatory from the Edmonton Public School Board that I had to...

Do it. What would you do to have to do that? I was like a bad kid. I was like... I mean, but what's that in Canada? Yeah, I know. I'd be like fighting. I was like, I would say overly sexually developed as a young kid. So I was like saying pretty like offside jokes and shit when I was in elementary. Give us a flavor.

Do you remember any of these jokes? Like you'd see like Big Daddy and then I asked girls if their like tits froze when they went by the frozen food section. That's hilarious. Yeah, yeah. And then somebody made a joke about eating out and then like all the older kids laughed. So I was like, oh, that's something I can like take. Oh, so you were acquiring materials and

Yeah, yeah. And so I'd ask the girls, I'd be like, oh, do you like get an eat note? Oh, no. Yeah, and they're like nine and I'm nine. And then all the teachers would be like, what the fuck? And then they'd like get me and I'd be like, I don't know what it means. I just thought it was funny. That's so typical kid stuff. But the Canadians were like, no, no, no. Yeah. And then like...

I kind of found like condoms and then I would always like tie condoms around like the door at like the school. Yeah. So people couldn't open the door. Yeah. When they were over there'd be like a hanging condom on the door handle in like my elementary school and they'd be like, what the fuck? And then they would always find out it was me. Oh, yeah. So were you hypersexual as a kid?

I guess so. You could say that. My brother's three years older than me, right? And then he hung out with an older crowd. So by natural, I was always hanging out with kids that were maybe like four or five grades above me, right? That's a lot. Yeah, and then they always thought like, oh, well, let's teach Danny this stuff and then send him on his little mission. And then he'll go run off and say it. Yeah, and then they'd all be like knickering and stuff. But then my brother would be like,

you know, hanging out with girls that he wants to kind of like make out with and kiss and stuff when I was like probably nine or 10. And then I'd be like, Oh, my brother likes that. Oh, I like that too. You know? And then, so I'd be like wooing all like, I have a girlfriend too. Yeah. Wooing all the ladies. And then when my brother or my parents would have like dinner parties, I'd always be like hanging out with the girls in the kitchen or like doing like that kind of stuff. And like, like I was always, I love flirting with the older ladies that like,

the school, you know? Yeah. Like, half of why I got in trouble was to go see the secretaries and then I would just chat up the secretaries and they'd be like, oh, Daniel, you're back again? I'm like, I just can't get enough of you, you know? Like, the vice versa. But it was trouble that led me there. So you were like nine trying to get MILFs? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Real mother complex, eh? Oh.

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know why I leaned in and said that to you. Maybe it's a Freudian slip. Yeah. Yeah, no, I know. So wait, how old are you now? Yeah, definitely one smash mom. Okay, well, at least you're honest. No, I'm just kidding. She's a nice lady. What was the question? How old are you? How old are you?

I'm 33 right now. So you're – okay. Weird way to answer the question. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ask me tomorrow. I'm a different age. Yeah, next month I might be 33 and a half. Oh. Yeah. So you're 33 and like so what does your relationship with your mom look like today as a 33-year-old man? Like what's the – how frequently are we talking to mom on the phone?

Not as much as she likes. Sometimes I'll go weeks without talking to her, and then she'll blow up my phone and be like, you don't love me anymore? Oh, so I was wondering if you seem like you could have possibly call everyday energy. Sometimes I do, but yesterday I called her, talked to her on the phone yesterday, and then a couple of days ago and stuff. So I always got to check in, especially when you're getting old, and my parents are kind of up there too, so I don't want to... I've spent maybe, what, $10,000?

10, 11 years away from my home since that. So it's like every day you kind of have that. I mean, that's normal when you're an adult. Yeah. And then you also think about it too, where you're like, okay, what, when did my grandparents pass away? And then you kind of look at the laws of average and then their health that they have. Right. So you're like, I always try and,

have that I don't want to have it so it's like one phone call is hey you have to come home right and then I also saw this weird thing online where it was like buddy says okay maybe you have like 12 years left of your parents but then how many times do you visit them a year and it's like two okay so then you only really have like 24 visits before that's a shit way to think yeah but I don't know I feel like family is a very important thing right I always say like it's once you forget your roots then the tree dies so

So Jesus. Yeah. You're going to, you're going to have a couple more, right? Carve that into a piece of wood and throw it in the dining room. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. But I feel like family is like a very important thing too, to me, especially because it's like some people don't have it. Right. Some people are more blessed to have a healthy relationship with their parents or even if they overcome some differences to get back together and stuff. Yeah. That's beautiful. Yeah. Try to.

try to keep Mary and Ernie happy by seeing me. Ernie? Yeah, Erminio Pio Lorenzo Martinello. Oh, that's so Italian. Yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ. So is your obsession with the importance of family, is that why you want to become specifically a girl dad?

No, I just think it would be, like, fun, you know? Because, like, don't get me wrong. Like, it would be awesome to have a boy. Like, I would like to have a boy. And then if I had a girl, that would be sick, too. Because all my buddies are having, like, girls. And then, like, they enjoy it. And I think it would just be so fun because I've never really had, like... I don't know. Little girls are...

are so different than little boys. Yeah. It's really interesting. Like, the little kids that I've observed lately, I'm like, wow, little girls have this, like, kind of, just really girly energy. I don't know how else to put it, but it's, like, very sweet. Yeah. And very, like, I don't know, in tune with you. Yeah, and it would be, like, also fun, too, because then it could be like, oh, well, there you go, mom, now you have a little girl. Oh, yeah, because she wanted a daughter. Yeah, she always wanted a mom. So you want your future wife to have a baby to make your mom happy. Ah!

This is the most autonomous thing I've ever heard in my life. I'll travel away and stay at home. No, I don't know. I just think it'd be like a fun, full circle. And like in, I don't know, like a weird chromatic. Is that the way you could say it? Karma? Karma? I was like chromatic would be like.

Color related I think Yeah yeah Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma

day parade santa parade yeah do you not know about that either that'd be a christmas up ryan ryan long told me that it's the same he was trying to do a joke and he was explaining the santa parade and i go and then i finally realized i was like oh in america that's the thanksgiving day parade but thanksgiving obviously american holiday yeah yeah i don't know i think a santa parade would be like a christmas parade

You know what I mean? What, are you going to have Saint Nick come out with all the pilgrims? That's what he does. I give you these gifts of blankets, my friends. Well, he does. Enjoy the pox. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in America, at the end, Santa comes on his sleigh and welcomes the Christmas season. So on Thanksgiving morning, we welcome the Christmas season in America. Yeah, sure. Then make a Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.

You know, you girls get it. Yeah, I don't know. I just think it'd be like fun. And like, I don't know. I just think like it's like you think parenthood would be fun. Do you think there would be any other elements to it?

Yeah, I'm very stressful at times, but I think it would just be like sweet where it's like, I don't know. I've always kind of pictured that where it'd be funny like the dad being like, you know, teach it like, oh no, if a girl gets her first period and then you're like, this is a beautiful part of womanhood, you know? Is that how you would approach it? That's what I would do. She'd be like, what's happening?

Like you're becoming a woman. Yeah, that's better than the woman in my life. Yeah, I don't know. I just think it'd be like a fun kind of like a different side of it. But then maybe I'm also looking at it where it could be like some more comedic kind of like jokes, bits, you know, right? So you think girl dad bits would be funnier than boy dad? Well, yeah. So you just admit women are funnier? Yeah, maybe. Sure. Wow. Yeah.

No, I just think it'd be like an interesting part of life where it's like, you know, cause I know what it is to be like a boy, you know? What is it like to be a boy? It's fucking sick. Yeah. It seems pretty sick. Eric's back there like, yeah, it's deadly. I think it's simple. I think it's very simple to be a man, but also you have your, you have your, uh, you know, problems, I guess with like your problems.

Well, you got to be tough. You got to be strong. Sometimes when you want to be in an emotional state or kind of empathetic or something like that. Where I come from, it's like a blue collar. I'm from Alberta, Edmonton. Oh, shit. So it's like a man has to work produce. And then if you have any feelings, you repress it and put it into overtime. Yeah. I'm sure that was egged on by your dad. Yeah. And then, I don't know. I think coming into manhood where it means to be like...

Yeah, right. Yeah.

Yeah, like when we were in like on the subway or whatever, like or when you see like an altercation, like we even had to step in me and my buddy, a roommate, Jared. We were walking back and then we saw like a dispute, like a domestic kind of where enough where we like, oh, fuck, man, we can't walk past this. Right. And so we like went out to him. We're like, oh, are you OK, miss? Like, you know, good point where she was like in the car trying to get away. And this guy's like in there. You hear the gearbox like grind.

And then it was enough where we were walking up being like, oh man, like this is pretty aggressive. Like buddies, like, you know, kind of shaking her, grabbing her and all this. Yeah. We had to step in and then be like, but like, are you okay? You know, like, do you want to walk with us? Like, was it like, what are we doing? But at the same time, you don't want to take it away from that situation because then you're like, oh, this is only going to do a little bit more damage when she comes back to him. She, you know, he had the foresight to know that. This is very insightful. It is. Cause I've broken up domestic violence disputes before. I've seen a guy straight up slap a woman in

the finish. Yeah. And Corinne was like, you know, she's going to probably get the ship. Yeah. So we just had to make sure that you can't hit you. So he has to hit her again. Yeah. But then it's also like, yeah. But you're, you're also in America too, where it's like in Canada, you can be like, okay, well, whatever the likelihood of this guy having a firearm is very low.

And then if he does, it's like, whatever, we can just settle this in fists, you know, do it right unless he has a knife. The Canadian way. Yeah, exactly. Right. It's like, I don't know. There's like a sense in Canada where it's like, like, like the one thing when I came here, I wouldn't say it's like community or consideration. That's the word where it's like you have so many loud people here.

And then when they're doing their own thing, but I think that's with America where they have so much freedom where it's like they have a right to go and do whatever the fuck they want, but you have a right to stay out of his business because he's not bothering you like physically. So, but then if you see something, you're like, man, there's kids here, like figure it out, dude. You know what I mean? They control your shit. Well, that is a way. Yeah. That is a wise time to step in. Yeah. When we're getting like.

Yeah, but then we stepped in and we saw like, is it okay? And then the guy does the classic like, no, she's all right. Look at her. And he's holding up her phone to her face being like, there's no bruises. There's no nothing. And then immediately we're like, bro, the fact that you're doing that, like, let us know that you were smacking her around. Yeah. Do we have an issue right now? And he's like, no. And then the girl, we looked at the girl and we're like, do you like, you need help? Do you want us to like intervene or step in? She's like, no, no, it's okay. It's all this. And then he was playing the victim card of something. Of course he fucking did.

She was like cheating on him or some shit. And then we just had to like kind of give her some walk by therapy being like, listen, like if you're cheating on this guy, but then you already know you don't want to be with them. And this behavior right now states that like, why do you want to come back to this? Like if you just Canadian guardian,

but it's like I don't know and when you were talking about like psychics or whatever at the beginning off the top it's like I did a show and then this old person came up and talked to me and asked me and she's like oh I see like an energy about you you're very open do you have like things that just come into your life that like

you deal with? And I go, well, what do you mean? It's everybody. Yeah. That's, that's everything. He goes, no, like you, you, you're very open to things. So things find you and like put you on a course or like, do you like talk to people or like they come and talk to you and like therapeutic wise. And I go, yeah, I guess. But, but that's also like, I don't know what growing up, my parents always taught me that like, if you have time to talk to someone, talk to that person, even if they're a stranger, cause you never know if you're that person that like,

can help them through what they're doing or no one else, you know, like sometimes it's easier to talk your problems through with a stranger because they have no connection to you. Right. Yeah. And so experience a connection with somebody you don't know reminds you that you're human. Yeah. And that's kind of like, and like, I don't know, I feel like I've maybe helped some people through or it's like, yeah, you know where they just talk to you and stuff like, and you're like, okay, thanks. You know,

Like I missed my train stop, but for some reason I was pulled to miss it. Yeah. And keep talking. Wait, are you spiritual? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I was going to say you're using words like pulled and stuff. I'm like, Oh, okay. You have like, well, I did a little research cause I never really listened to your girl's pod. And then I had, I crushed like four or five episodes. And then, and then the lady that you had on, what was it? Two weeks ago or I don't know. Yeah. Lisa. And I was listening to it. I'm like,

hell yeah, you know, like, I was like, yeah, I'm like, I was into it. Cause like, I love like horoscopes. I love my cards getting around. Oh, that's right. You had that clip about getting your tarot right. Yeah. And he would be on top. Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah. No, I know. I was having a girl make a sign for us. I was thinking I'm on a, I was on a good guys, uh, tangent. Cause this is very similar. We had to Jason say,

We rarely interview men in this chair that were like, wow, you're like a great one. Yeah. That's great. So you know the MySpace top five? I didn't really like do MySpace. Okay, so we did. And you can pick your top five friends, which was very scandalous back in the day. We did like Maxopia. But we're going to do our top five male guests.

Wait, you're so Canadian, you didn't get MySpace? No, well, we had MySpace, but there was a crossover where MySpace was something, but then Facebook came into play, so we all just went to Facebook, but our big thing was Nexopia where we grew up, so I don't know if it was like... Can you explain that to us? It was basically just like I would assume it would be like a Canadian version MySpace or whatever, but it was when we were in junior high, and then it was like you make your profile, it was like small little programmings, you put your profile pics on, and then you'd have your best friends. You do rank

the friends on it though yeah and then you could go to Nexopia Plus where you could like creep on people to see who looked at your page and shit oh yeah so then as soon as we found out the girls had Nexopia Plus we were like we can't look we can't look we can't look they're gonna know we're creeping but yeah wait what sign are you I'm an Aquarius my moon's in Virgo and my rising is Gemini okay

And then when you were talking about your little crystal bit, I always... Oh! Oh! He literally has crystals in his hand! Show the camera! I brought them for the girls! I brought them for the girls! Wait, wait. Explain what these crystals are and what they do and why you paired them with you. I was explaining this was like a quartz one and this one just kind of grounds you and like... It feels like you're doing a character but I know you're not. I know you're not. And it neutralizes like your, like, I don't know, energies, I guess, into like a positive thing. And then this one, I can't remember what it is. I think it's still...

Oh, that's beautiful. A similar kind of thing. It was like, and then this one I carry the most. I just rub it. And then this one I have by my sage bundles and shit. Oh, cool. Wow. Yeah. Super fucking, what's the most like, so like. But I'm also like, I'm not just like, you know, like the spirit, like I incorporate all kinds of things, right? Yeah, that's a balanced life.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, a lot of religions have like, they all kind of say the same thing, but they have very spiritual practices. Oh, yeah. You know, like Catholicism has a lot of things that are very like. A lot of candle magic. Yeah, honestly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the sage and the fucking, they smudge. With the little Orthodox priests with the little like. It's all the same thing. That's why it's so silly to me when people are like, one is not. Or they go to war over it. It's like, oh.

What's like the crazy, have you, have you ever experienced anything, even if it's like a psychic coming up to you or like seeing something that's like made you,

go, oh, there's more to this world than I thought? Yeah, I have two kind of things. I guess for me, one where I was like, I know that there's a higher power. I necessarily, I believe it would be my god, but you could say universe or whatever it is. It was when my nonna was getting Alzheimer's and dying on her deathbed, but then my brother got attacked in an alley and almost died. He got stabbed a bunch of times. Did he medically die? Yeah.

No. Like, what do you mean? Like, he medically died? Like, did he, like, come back? Yeah. No, no, no. He was on the version. You could say, like, it's a coincidence or whatever, but he was, like, he was brutally attacked in, like, an alley in Edmonton, and then... Edmonton. Yeah. They have Edmonton's guys. Yeah, it was pretty bad. Just a random? No, he was in the mix, and then... Oh, yeah. He had it coming. Yeah, yeah. He was in the mix. He was such a...

funny way to say yeah that's my that's my you can say something or what's a plead in the fifth or whatever yeah he was he was involved things but then he was like on his deathbed where it was literally like the operator came in and was like okay this is your last time you can see your brother alive oh

Holy shit. Oh, yeah, like tubes in and out. Like, he was a millimeter away from his aorta getting stabbed. Oh, my God. Yeah, so it was a pretty traumatizing night in the Martinello household. And then... As you're known as dying. Yeah, I'm known as dying. So then, like, we did, like, this after we saw him, we did this whole little prayer circle of, like, okay, like, if you're going to take one of the members, take grandma. Like, you know? Like...

There it was. Where it was like, you know what I mean? This bitch old, take her. Yeah, yeah. No one is 83. She's like going. She has no future. Last time we went, she was calling me Ernie, right? My dad's sitting there like a plug being like, what about me? I'm Ernie. And she's like, Ernie, Ernie. She didn't even know what's going on. Speaking Italian to me. I'm like, you might as well be speaking Latin, you know? Like, what is this tongues you're talking to me? So, okay. So, you're in a circle.

praying for your grandma to die. So we're in a circle praying for my grandmother to pass away and save my brother and then literally within 15 minutes. You're a witch. Yeah, literally within 15 minutes of doing that, my dad gets a phone call from his brother and says, grandma's dead. And then, yeah, and then like another 20 minutes later go by or maybe of an hour and then the doctor comes

comes in and goes, I don't know if he's going to make it through the night, but he's stable. So like, that's good news, right? They stopped all the bleeding. They did all their surgeries and shit. And then he survived. And then so from that day, I was like, holy fuck, like I can't ignore it. Like, yeah, I can choose to. Did your brother have any experience? Like, wow. Wow. Did he see anything? Did he go to the other side when he was having this? No, he said he like, he couldn't really remember much, but all he said was he heard like us saying like,

Don't go. And then he heard another voice that he couldn't, he couldn't like depict what it was, but it said stay.

Wow. That's like someone from the other side probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or grandma being like, you stay, I got this one. I bumped you off the death show. Be like, actually the whole family's praying for my death. Yeah, and then just other little things. I got voted off the island. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're old and dying in the mine. So for this reason, you're out. Wow. Yes. You're the weakest.

Yeah, you're the weakest link. No, no, you are the weakest link. Sorry. She just falls down a cavern. God damn. Yeah, we think she's going to heaven, but she's actually going to hell. Yeah, so then there's that. But then other things where you're like, oh, like little small subtleties. Sometimes the small things are the ones that you're like, what? Yeah, or like just things where you're like, oh, fuck, you know, like.

I just need a sign or something, you know, like, like even if you're like in comedy where you're like, Oh man, this is becoming dreading. Like what is it? I need it. Like give me something to keep going. And then you're like, okay, here's this big show or you get a festival or something, or it's like, you know, you're, you're kind of like worried about stress of certain things. And then you kind of just manifest prosperity, I guess. Hell yeah. We have a male manifester. That's amazing. In the room. Yeah. And you like women.

Yeah. Wow, that's great. Sorry, I was trying to decipher what you're saying. You're like, is he saying, and you're not gay. Yeah, no, yeah, I like it. That's cool. When they don't piss me off.

No, but they're all also straight men who fuck women but don't like women. I think right is actually an accurate interpretation. Yeah. Yeah, so you could interpret it either way. What would you call those? Like asexuals or something? No, no, no. They're straight men. But they just don't like women. Or a lot of men hate themselves so much that when a woman likes them and they fall in love, they begin to hate the woman for liking them because they're like, why are you so fucked up?

that you like me. Yeah. And it's some deep-seated shit. And that's just a dude who needs to work on himself. I mean, hell yeah, bro. Yeah. I want you to coach men. I know that's not the way you're getting it. Eric turns his head and being like, I don't know. Well, there'd be two courses, eh? There'd be dog 101 and then a woman's man 101. Wait, Eric, do you know, wait, is anything here a lie? Because Eric knows Danny behind the scenes. Is there anything? Oh, you guys are friends?

Well, I think he knows him through the Canadian Ryan thing. He knows me through Ryan, but I've only met Eric probably like a handful of times. Eric, is there anything right now so far in your listening that you think is fraudulent about what Danny has told us? No, not at all. But mind you, though, if you had talked to me, what, 10 years ago, I wouldn't be the man who I am today, right? None of us would be the person. 23-year-old man and 33.

three-year-old yeah I'd be a guest on your podcast if I was 23 yeah tell it wait tell us a little bit about your hound dog days well I was just just a guy who loved to fuck really I

I mean, word. I mean, yeah. And you know, you're like... Ain't nothing wrong with that. Yeah, and you're young and it's just like, I don't know. I started comedy when I was like 18 and then... Okay, you got into it young. Of course, like when I was like young, growing up and stuff and like, you know... And it's always an impressive like... Did you...

So if you started when you were 18, then you didn't do it for pussy. Because a lot of men like go into an art for pussy. No, but I started in like theater and improv and stuff way before. He was trying to have sex with secretaries at night. That's true. Yeah, yeah. So I was like, yeah, I don't know. What would you say? I lost my virginity probably in grade seven. Summer. Whoa. How? To a woman your age or girl? No, yeah. She was in my grade. Okay. Yeah. How old are you? Grade seven? You're 12th?

13. 13. Okay. What is seventh grade sex like? And I don't even know if I can ask that without getting on a list. I mean, like, it's like you figuring it out, right? You're figuring out what you like, what you don't like. You're also thinking you're like, oh, I don't know. The first time I had sex wasn't a good time. That's for sure. Yeah.

Yeah. I wish I would have gotten the heads up that if you lose your virginity at a young age, it's not going to be good sex. Like, if you lose it at an older age, like 18, 19, 20, 21, like, it's going to be a way different experience. Yeah. And it's probably going to be great. Yeah. But then it's like, I don't know, for where I was growing up, it was like, that was...

You were like the cool guy, right? So like you smashed. Yeah, I mean that's everywhere. Right? Like growing up as a kid. If you're a girl or a boy, I mean. Especially in like early 2000s where it's like if you're like what, 18 and a virgin, people are like what the fuck have you been doing? Yeah, yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. They don't say that to girls. No, they're like this. They like you. Yeah. Were the girls respected for fucking?

I would say like yes and no, right? Like you have your circles. Like obviously at a young age, you have these kids that just like to talk shit kind of thing. So it's like, okay, you're labeled a whore. Then maybe you're like a slut or a harlot, depending on who you talk to. My mom would say a bit of a hussy. Yeah. Oh, I love that word. Yeah. So it's like, I don't know. I think it was like, but that's where I came from. Right. I grew up in Edmonton and it was like, like in that time, it was like a dude is a guy that like he fucks, he parties. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Check, check. Yeah, that was like the cool guy where it was like, oh, this guy, you know, he can get girls. He can also have a good time. And he shotguns a beer under three seconds. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. And three seconds, that's a long time. For shotgunging, I mean, God, if you had a big hole. What? Shotgunning. What are you laughing at? Sometimes you say things and I go, this feels like written. No.

like yeah like we're getting pumped yeah no it's like well it is i keep thinking it looks like anne frank and i know it does not say anne frank and it's not an ally no it's uh it's a more fatty it's a more fatty so it's like uh when i when i was like quitting i quit liquor and had like a revamp in my life i kind of like went into stoicism and stuff and like read it yeah there's a part where you know i spent like at the beginning of the pandemic or whatever it was like

who am I? You know, if the comedy was taken away, I had to really think about like, who am I? What am I? And then I was like in this relationship at the time and then that exploded and blew up. Exploded how? Oh, it was my fault. I was in a long-term relationship with a woman and, uh, yeah, I wasn't a faithful man. Oh, so the hound dog days aren't that far behind us. I would say the hound dog days are probably four years behind me. Oh, you made it seem like it was ancient history. No, no, no, no, no.

No, no. No, but it was like – Wait, I want to talk about this. Yeah, okay. We can. I love how – like I love like the mind of like this concept that cheating isn't personal even though it feels so fucking personal. Like why did you cheat? How many times did you cheat?

Because that's my... It'll depend. My theory will depend on. I would say, like, my ex-girlfriend was a very beautiful woman. She was a very nice woman. But I think just the way that my life was where it was and what the pandemic kind of happened, I felt like I wasn't being able to fully...

truthfully live who I wanted to be. And like at the beginning, I was like, you know, you're in this like young relationship or whatever and you're kind of like, okay. And then it became serious and then I was like, all right, I should probably, you know, not hook up with other people. And then, as bad as it sounds, right? Yeah. I'm going to like...

Don't get me wrong. I love an evolution. At this point, like, I am not a good guy in this story, but from being that person and then going through... You faced it. Well, yeah, and then also being like, okay, in order for me to be who I am today, I guess technically that had to happen. Yes, I agree. As shit is a thing that's to say.

both people are better off. Yeah, for sure. It might not feel in the moment, but always looking back. Those painful relationships are some of the most eye-opening. Yeah, but towards the end where things got crazy, there was a big, very split of, I guess, beliefs almost. In what? Towards the end. Well, it was like I believed in a fact where it was like...

Like there's more to life than just having like a family kind of thing. But then there was also a big difference on like COVID views and stuff. And then it was like. Yeah, he was like no vaccine. And she was like. No, no, no. She was like no vaccine. Oh, it was the opposite. And I was no vaccine either. I was like, okay, well, I don't necessarily. Because I had it a couple times. And I'm like, oh, this isn't as crazy as it was. And I'm like, I won't get it until it affects my life in a way that I had to. And I was working in TV and film. Right, yeah. And then that started coming. You weren't allowed on set. Yeah, and then I had to go and do the Seattle comedy contest. Which you pissed that you got it.

Oh, it was crazy. She was mad at you? Yeah, it was like, but then it was also weird though, because my uncle passed away from it. And when in Canada, it was so crazy where it was like, uh, you couldn't go into the rooms or anything. So my uncle's dying from it. And then my dad and my mom were like, what are you doing? Your uncle's, you know, thing. And then I had to go in and put my uncle down when they let, uh, well, cause he was on life support and he was on like the thing. And then for a window of two weeks, they only let people go in.

And then, and then, so I had to go and be the representation of my family and like, you went, wow, play my uncle off to his music and tell him it's okay. Wow. She were there with her,

where is that? That's so powerful. Yeah, it was crazy because we have a... Did you watch him like leave his body? Oh, played him out and everything, yeah. Holy shit. That's beautiful. You're like a little death doula. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but then his name's Danny, like Danilo. I'm Daniel and then there was another Danielle in the room. So it was all three Danies of the family and then we just played him out and stuff and I had to go through that and then I was like, okay, well, I'm going to get it. Like,

yeah like whether it fucking gets me or not who gives a shit like at this point for my family i have to get it i'm doing traveling it's becoming a hindrance but i had fake papers and everything for the whole household so we i was like you can have these papers you can do whatever you want like i got it so you don't have to get it but i have to get it and then it was like you're killing yourself you're killing us like you're killing us wow yeah i'm like oh it's healthy we're not gonna have a family blah blah blah i think you guys just weren't meshing anymore and she needed to

way to yeah no sometimes you subconsciously like hone in on something because I'm like how the fuck would a person think that but like well I mean people in the US are always like we're moving to Canada I'm like there's Republicans in Canada too no matter what they're calling them I come from where I'm from is like Edmonton is conservative what's the comedy venue there the comedy club Rick Bronson's The Conk Strip is it that one yeah I think you might be talking about

Winnipeg. Winnipeg's the rumors. Rumors. I love rumors. Winnipeg. God hates Winnipeg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of people hate Winnipeg. Yeah. I like it. I like, yeah. Yeah, but then to continue on with the story, so to cut you off, there's like, I should have probably left the relationship three years ago. That's three years before you did. Yeah, but then like COVID and all that, and then we're stuck in the trenches and all that shit. So how long was the relationship in totality? Five years. Wow.

Wow. Yeah. So you should have gotten out at two years. It was mental. Under half a life. COVID, though. Yeah. COVID grounds you in terms of like, you can't go anywhere. You can't do anything. So like, it's kind of a shitty time to break up. Yeah. COVID was a great time to be single. But then it was like, okay, I'm going to dig down deep into this. You know, like I was like, whatever. This is my life. If comedy is not here, I guess I can just double down on this family life. So then it was bad. I bought like a wedding ring, everything. Oh, shit, dude. And then I was going to plan this whole like...

And you weren't into it while you bought the ring. Yeah, and then so then I was like, do this. Why do men do that though? Why do men do this, Danny? I think it was just... Because this is not an uncommon thing. I think it's because like you have so many outside forces and then you're like, okay, well, this is just it. Like the family's invested. She's invested. Everything is like this. And then ideally... How could it be that bad if everybody...

Everybody else is pushing me towards us. But I just wasn't living my truth and I knew that I didn't really want it, but I was so ingrained into the family that my mom and dad were stoked. They would take trips together. It was like deep in, right? So then I was like, okay, doing all this. And then it was like,

had this whole plan proposal where it was like we were gonna go to Banff I had a place there my buddy's like a chef so we were gonna go to the spa and while we were at the spa he was cooking up a meal and all this shit in the mountains like it was I had this beautiful yeah this whole plan and the whole time you were like not really into her well no I was like okay with it you know

I guess. I don't know. Every woman's dream. Yeah, right? Oh, my God. I'd rather just pass that one beneath me. This is fascinating intel because we hear stories about you are not alone in this. Yeah, I know. But I was just going with it and it was like, oh, this is life. And then she was just like... Yeah, but it was like... Women would be out here going...

praying for like some magical like once in a lifetime unique relationship but it was also like one of those things where you're like okay well let's go look at some rings or let's go get an idea of it and the next thing you know at the end of this interview or like gem looking it's like okay well that's here's the money and I was like what the fuck

I guess I'm starting a down payment. And then as this is going, I'm like, fuck, this is my whole life. But then I'm fighting the internal battle of being like, I don't want this. You know, like to the point where I'm like, I'm working in film 12 hours a day, every day, fucking grinding crazy. I went to go spend some of my money on a bike because I'm like, whatever, I'm going to buy a bicycle. But then that was a fucking whole ordeal because what you're not planning for the future. You're just going to like an actual bike or a motorcycle.

I bought both, but, uh, let's not be crazy. No, but that was later on. Right. Cause I'm like, fuck it. Like I need something. Right. I didn't want to drive my car. And then I'm like, okay, well, I've always wanted to ride a bike. Like, let's just ride a bike. I'm not doing shows and shit. I might as well learn like something else and riding it around. And then,

I'm in this. And then I'm like, okay, well, I'm planning this whole thing. And then she was just a wonderful lady. And then she just became this crazy thing where it was like, I'm a Nazi because I'm doing all this thing. She called you a Nazi? Yeah, I'm helping the agenda. And then she was like, your family's stupid for getting the shot. You're stupid. I'm like, okay. Oh my gosh, she flipped. And then I'm doing this show out in Calgary, planning this thing. And then I'm like, fuck it, man. I'm just going to call it off. Good. I'm not going to do this. You're being too difficult. And then I'm doing this show and this...

She's going to sound horrible, but she's got to be probably like a nice, like I'm being gracious, a six, right? Like a rude person from like Provost Alberta. And Provost is known for having the longest running Ku Klux Klan chapter in Canada. And she's like, there's Ku Klux Klan in Canada? Yeah, and it's like super like a brutal human. And then she's like, I got the vaccine. I don't really give a fuck. And then at that point, I'm like, what are we doing here? This person gets in and then this wonderful lady that I'm,

you know dating doesn't do it so wait but did you hook up with the sex oh yeah yeah okay and it was like so brutal though too yeah like the whole thing was like to me it's like comedically like like because I'm like okay well whatever like she comes back to the condo also I just wanted to

a six you made it seem like she was like a three like a six I said being gracious she was like definitely like a six is like a regular looking woman a four you have like hairs in places yeah okay well then I'll say like her six outside but her inside was definitely a three and uh like she was a brutal human but yeah but at this point yeah but at this point I'm like oh man like whatever like fuck it I don't even want to be doing this so I think that was like an act of like uh

I guess from like going back and kind of looking at it, these actions were ones where I'm like, okay, this was the only sense of control I felt like I had in my life, like on stage. And then off stage, I was just going through the motions of going to be married, man, and get a place in a condo in Calgary. As your future fiance. Or then stare at the barrel of a 45 when I'm 52, you know, like kind of where I'm like, well, this is like. You really had a plan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Early out of retirement. Yeah.

So I go through this and then I go and I like hook up with this person and it's like brutal. Like as I'm doing it, like she was always lingering around. I'm like, okay, well like, are you going to go or like, what's up? You know, like I got to go on a mountain. I got to fuck a guy way out of her league. No, but it was like, we didn't hook up yet. Right. Cause she's like, well, I'm going to come down. And then it was like, we're like the thing, the singles, but then it's just a person lingering in this thing. And then I like a condo and then I have to go on a 9am hike tomorrow and

And it's hard. We need to fuck because I need to get to bed because I need to go on this hike. Yeah. So I'm like, what are we doing here? Like, are you like stay or go? Like, I can get you a cab or like here's some pillows and blankets and shit. Like you can crash in the living room or by all means, if you need a place to stay. But like, I'm going to bed. Yeah. And then so I go into bed, like brush my teeth and she comes in. She's like, oh, I want to hook up. So I'm like, OK, well, it's like, let's do it.

And then, so we do it and it's like brutal. Oh, how brutal? Like stuff going on in your head? What's brutal sex from a male perspective? I don't know. I guess in the most politically safe way you could say, the pH balances were a little bit off. Uh, uh,

PH balances are definitely off. And then I get like three pumps in. And at this point, I'm like drunk. I'm cheating. I'm upset with my life. I'm like, what the fuck am I doing here in this bathroom? And then out of nowhere, I'm in the bathroom because she came in and closed the door when I'm brushing my teeth. And then, yeah. And then so I'm like three pumps in and then all I hear is boom, boom, boom. And it's her sister knocking the door being like, what the fuck are you doing in

there and I'm like I don't want to do this you know I'm like what the fuck like this is crazy because his sister was rolling with her and then she was gonna hook up with my buddy but my buddy's Egyptian so she went on a racist tangent about how like people from Africa are fucked all black people are crazy and then my buddy's like yo I'm out and then I'm like

That is brutal. So then that's when I was like, okay, we got to finish this up here, right? And then I did the whole blanket thing, get out going, and then I'm three pumps in in the washroom, and then her sister's kicking, banging in the door, like doing all this. I'm like, you got to like, I don't want this. Like, I'm getting out of here. She's like, okay, I'll leave. And then so I'm like, all right, see you girls. Bitch.

And then, uh, so I'm like, you know, I'm like just chilling and then open the door, like, uh, laying down in my bed and I'm like drunk. Right. So it's kind of like spinning. I'm like, what am I thinking about it? I'm like, wow. I'm like a piece of shit. Like what are you doing here? Right. And then she comes in the room again and I'm like, I thought you left. She's like, no, I'm going to stay. I'm like, okay. And then she stays in the bed, but she's wearing her outside clothes. And, uh,

Like boots? No, she's wearing like jeans and like everything. And I'm like, ah, fuck. And then she smells like cigarettes, like heavy, right? And then so I'm like drunk, spinning, and I'm smelling these smokes. And then I'm waiting there. I'm like, I got to say something. And then I was like, well, if you're going to stay the night, do you mind if like...

You just freshened up or like got out of your outside clothes kind of thing. That's fair. That's fair. It's your bed. Yeah. She's like, what? Why? And I'm like, I don't know. You just kind of like smell like cigarettes and it's making me a little sick. And she's like, I smell like cigarettes. You're a piece of shit. And then gets up and like goes into death call mode. And then immediately I'm like, oh no, this is a bad situation. Right? You have these two like crazy chicks in your house. Two? Two?

sister wanted well the sister was staying in the living room and then my buddy he's texting me from like his room being like yo are these girls gonna like rob us and shit i'm like i have no clue there's nothing like all my valuables are in my room i'm like this girl's snapping saying like i'm a piece of shit because i called her she smells like cigarettes and stuff and then she just goes off and she's like you're a piece of shit and i'm like oh yeah and then she was like yeah like i know you have a girlfriend i know that all this stuff and then i go okay so she fucked you knowing

Well, then this is the thing too, right? Where I was like, well, if you, I'm a piece of shit. Cause I have a girlfriend and you knew I had a girlfriend that I'm not the only piece of shit in this room. And then, and then she goes, fuck you. And then it goes ballistic. And then the sister kicks open the door. She goes, what the fuck? You call my sister a piece of shit. I'm like, what's with these doors you're kicking? I'm like, why the fuck haven't you girls gone? Like I'll call you an Uber. And then this is when I knew like I was completely like in a shitty situation. She goes, what's an Uber? Yeah.

And I was like, and then I like in this whole like DEF CON being like, oh, no, I was like, because you know what I mean? She could sue me by saying some crazy ass shit. And like, you know, I'm thinking I'm like, oh, fuck it. I'm like, what's she going to do? Right. But then as soon as she goes, what's an Uber? I just die laughing. I'm like laughing in her face. Oh, that's probably. She's like, why are you laughing? I'm like, you don't know what an Uber is. She's like, no, I'm like, it's a taxi of the future. And then she's just like, what the fuck?

And then I'm like, I'll order you an Uber. And then I call her an Uber. And then she's like, goes downstairs. And then immediately I'm like, I'm booked, right? I'm like, this girl's going to tell my girlfriend. I just had that feeling. Yeah. But I'm still laughing because I'm like, no, because I'm showing my buddy. I'm like, look, bro, they don't even know it's there. And then the fucking car is just circling the parking lot. And then it leaves and cancels it. I'm like, no.

Did they try to get back in your... No, I just immediately blocked them all, did the fucking, I was like all this shit and then I woke up the next morning where it was like... Was this all a dream? No, I woke up and I'm like, oh fuck, my girlfriend didn't text me and all this stuff and then I like tell my buddies and we're in like 9 a.m. I'm severely hungover. Did you tell your buddies you cheated? Oh yeah. So you confided

in them? Yeah, yeah. Okay. And plus my roommate and then they're like, ah, fuck. And then as soon as like we're going to the mountains, right? I'm like texting my girlfriend. I'm like, hey, just heading to the mountains right now. Hope your time like tonight was all right. Immediately phone calls.

Like after the send button. And then I just pull up my phone on my buddies and then they pull over. They all get out of the car and then I just answer it. And I'm like, hello. She's like, yeah, yeah. You want me to have a good time? And I was like, yeah. She goes, yeah. Just like the time you had when you were fucking that girl in the washroom. She did tell. Yeah. And then she's like, she told me everything. And I'm like, ah, yeah. She's like, what did you do? And I was like, oh, nothing really. Like, I don't know. She's like, what happened? I was like, well, I mean, like.

I guess I got my dick sucked. And then she's like, yes, I got my dick sucked. Yeah. Like, don't get me wrong. Like I'm laughing about it because I have to, but then like I was a bad guy in this whole thing. And then I, and then immediately my buddies got in the car and then they handed me two grams of mushrooms. I ate the mushrooms and I went on like this huge nature hike. Oh, it was a good trip. Oh, it was horrible. It was horrible. Yeah.

Yeah. It was fucking some of those. I was going to say probably to deal with the demons on that one. Yeah, but it was good though because I realized like as I'm going through it, I'm like high on these mushrooms. They're kicking my ass. Dude, going through something and taking mushrooms is almost a borderline death sentence. I had to have Corinne come over on suicide watch the last time I did this. Oh, yeah. Because I always say that mushrooms will like open up doors for you and like

kind of cleanse these things where it's like, you'll always ask the why, you know? You have to face it. Yeah, so I'm like, ate these mushrooms and then I'm going on this hike but we're in like shitty weather. It's like late October so it's like snow but also like a slush kind of like a wet one so I'm climbing up this hill and it's the most garbage hill. I'm like slipping, I'm falling, I'm like crying because I smell all the booze. I've realized my whole life's blown up. Were you secretly

or no well yeah because i look back now at it where i say i didn't care about that one girl and i didn't care about my girlfriend at the time where it felt like i was like trapped in a uh like a like a wolf or a coyote in a trap and then it just gnaws its arm off to get free like that was my everyone knows that saying yeah yeah i was like that was my whole burn the farm burn everything fuck it like yeah yeah who cares you know pack up your three belongings go to the next town like

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get your life together, right? Kind of thing. And I'm climbing up this hill, slipping, falling. My whole mantra during it is like, you can break, you have a break, but you can't break down. I'm like, I'm going to keep going. I'm not going to stop. I'm slipping. I'm sliding. I love these Danny. Yeah. Friends in the background with a stereo. I'm not afraid. No, but my one buddy, he's like Chris LaBelle. God bless him. He's like the Sherpa of Calgary. So he'll take you on like long hikes. He'll be like, cook you the food. He does everything right. So yeah.

He was like, man, I know what you're going through. Like, I'll stay ahead of you. He's like, just follow me. I'll stop at the trailhead and then keep going, right? And then I'm sliding all this shit. And then I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, okay, well, this hike is similar to what my life is right now. I'm like, right now my life is just dirty mud shit. I'm covered in piss and fucking slime, crying, all this stuff. I'm like, once you get to the top, you're going to be free of it. So I'm like, just dig deep, keep your head down, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. And as I'm slipping, I'm falling. There's a point where I'm like, I got to like...

stop. I'm like, I can't, I'm overwhelmed with all this sensation. And then I hear this little kid laugh and I'm like, what the fuck? And I like bring my head up and the kids laugh and having a good time. And then he stopped straight at me. He goes, don't worry, buddy. You're almost there. Just keep going. And I'm, I just burst out in tears. I'm crying. And I'm like, Oh my God. No. And then his parents come around and then see me just fraud. Yeah.

frog eye on the corner of the trail be like oh my god you don't understand what you've done for me and then like the mom's like are you all right i'm like i haven't been better you don't know how much of an angel your son is and then i'm like dying and then i go up to the top and then that's when chris was like hey we're at this part but like you got to go through it like you just go hike and then i get to the top i go through the full thing i realize that like my body's too full of alcohol i'm a piece of shit

I was living a lie. Got to live my truth. I'm like, now we're at the top. It was just serenity. It was peace. It was calm. All my buddies were already too high. And so we're waiting for them for like an hour and a half at the top because I was just booking it. Wow. Because I'm like, I can't be with these guys right now. I got to be at my pace and my pace only. But then Chris kept pace with me. And then we get to the top. We have some tea. We do like a little like kind of like a smudge sage. Yeah. Like with an eagle's feather like north. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry, we're filming. Oh, we're filming. Sorry. It's like my neighborhood, eh? Can you guys be a little bit quiet? I'm like, you don't understand! But so then we get to the top, we get all this shit, and then I'm like, all right, well, I got to change my life. I'll quit booze. I'll get it together.

And I'll be rocking and rolling. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And then you did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Yeah. Yeah. No, I quit officially in like February of that year. That happened in October. And then...

And then February I quit for two and a half years. And then I came back to liquor. When did you next see your ex? Like, Oh, I haven't living together. Yeah. We were living together. And then this was the crazy thing too, where it was like, uh, I was on tour and then it happened. And then, so yeah, yeah. And then she was like, Oh, you got to come back and get all your shit or else it's thrown out. So then I had to cancel a show, fly back, throw all my shit in the storage. And then I had to go and do, uh,

three weeks in Seattle for the comedy competition. Wow. Yeah. Shit. And then you haven't talked since? Uh, no, we talked like a little bit, like,

here and there at the beginning wanting no lies and that kind of stuff like the closure things and then but out of respect I wouldn't want to see her or talk to her and I wouldn't want to either I feel like that chapter's closed yeah that's cool out of respect you wouldn't want to see her you gotta respect the dead you gotta respect the dead let them rest in peace our dead love it was out of respect I actually don't want to have a conversation with my mom but no like it's like you know like if I'm ever in Toronto and you know like kind of whereabouts of like her in a sense where it's like oh I know where she like kind of hangs out I'm like I won't

yeah i won't go there i just don't really want to open that up yeah yeah yeah yeah but then long story short for the tattoo i forgot yeah no i just started reading like uh stoicism books and stuff like that and then uh i i resonated with uh the amor fati it means love fate so whatever happens your way it could always be worse you have to take it with a smile on your chin and uh

And I mean, it kind of goes with the, it doesn't happen to you. It happens for you kind of thing. So it keeps you with the growth and your life can always be shittier. And there's positions that people wish that they were in that you're currently in and, and you just have to kind of live every day with a joy and zest of love and enjoy it and know that it could always be worse.

Wow. That was, I mean, moving. I got, I got nothing. You're a complete man. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm, so yeah, I just kind of do that. And then, uh, and then I did like, uh, what?

six months of like celibacy and on purpose. Yeah. Yeah. How was that? Oh, it was good. It was good. It taught me like, cause I was just, you know, you get involved with relationships and you're kind of just having sex to have sex. And I felt like that was one of the problems that I had, like one of my vices. So in order to control it, I kind of had to get away from it and realize that like,

It is an energy exchange. Totally. And it makes you appreciate sex and kind of respect it when you step back from it. Well, yeah. And it's like I always told myself, like, if I'm going to hook up with a girl at that time that I had to have something more than just a physical attraction, like it had to mentally stimulate me or like make me feel like emotionally fuller. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of thing. And then during that time, I found my current girlfriend. And that's great. Yeah. Where'd you find her?

found her in a bargain bin uh no I'm just kidding no she's she was a friend of my brother's ex-girlfriend and then we met over Christmas and then we kind of had a little romance and then it just led into a Christmas romance yeah and then it just led into like it was gonna be like okay whatever I'll hook up with her while I'm in town and vice versa she's like she admitted that it was just gonna be a hookup kind of thing and then we stayed in contact while I traveled all around the world doing comedy and

I just had a strong draw towards her and kind of always wanted to see how her day was or kind of the successes that I had. I was always, I had a share. Yeah. A sense of joy. And then it became like, it was the easiest thing ever. Yeah. Cool. And for us to focus on our individual lives while we go and chase our dreams. And how long have you guys been together? Uh, two years officially. And then three years, like unofficially. Oh,

Okay. I did see it. Cause I did see a post that you said something about like, you're my end game. And I was like, wow, look at this guy posting publicly. Yeah. I get a lot of flash from both her sometimes and the boys. Well, because she's like, you never post me on the grid. I'm like, don't worry about it. Like I'd be almost like, this is kind of professional, but also it's like, what, what, you know what I mean? I mean, nowadays that's more intimate to keep your relationship to yourself. Well, that, and it's like, we,

I look at all the other relationships I had. It's like I've posted them all here and there and it didn't mean shit. Yeah, right. And it's like I kind of like, I like to keep that world almost separate. Yeah, yeah. I totally find that. Yeah, because then you never know too. It's like if you guys shared your boyfriends or something, you might have a couple weirdos getting in like things, right? Oh, yeah. No, it's happened.

It's happened. Yeah. That's amazing. That's beautiful. Yeah. So it's a nice little thing. It's an everyday struggle in work, right? Yeah. Every day is... It is, really. You have to pick your attitude every day. Well, not in self-betterment, you know, because it's so easy to slip into old habits and stuff. Yes. Yeah.

And to sit in the discomfort, it could kind of become a game. Well, yeah. And it's like, okay, your program too, where it's like, I don't know, my favorite thing in life is to see how far like, well, one of them was not anymore, but like, I guess my favorite thing about interacting with people or having like dialogues and discourses or kind of like relationships is like, oh, okay, how fast can we get to where the best place is, you know? So it's like, if you were, okay, whatever going out and you meet someone, if you're single, you're like, okay, well, I want to see like,

How fast can we get to the point of like, I don't know, physical... A fucking? A fucking, but then also like, where can we, how fast can we get to our connection? I think he's talking about love bombing in a Canadian way.

Oh. Yeah. But like how fast can we get there and how long can we hold it? You know what I mean? Yeah. So it's like, okay, well, if we were meant to be. That's very like addict behavior. Yeah. Yeah. So like that's where it's like, you know. I was like, ooh, sounds fun. Yeah. You know what I mean though, right? Where it's like, oh, I really like this person. That's okay. Like what can I get to the stage of like the intimacy but then also the emotional side of it where it's like, okay, now you're my coffin on a person. Right?

Right? Yeah, and you have like a bond that's really special. Yeah, but then it's also, okay, now you get there and then you realize that like it's not...

Yeah. You know? And then you're like, okay. And then you step out and then that's like you're almost vilified because it's like, well, I gave myself to you. But also when you rush, when you go that fast, then you're going to get to the demise sooner or like not even a demise, like a plateau that doesn't feel exciting because it feels comfortable. Yeah. So if you take more time on the way up, yeah, it'll be, it'll ultimately be better. Yeah. It's like a... Wow. Good for you, man. Yeah. So it's like every day you got to...

you know, kind of stay on top of it. Yeah. Yeah. You have a great balance of like masculinity, spirituality, self, self assessment, self interrogation. Yeah. That's the one thing I wish more men possessed is like interrogating their values and their actions and the people in their life and making sure they want to be there.

I feel like guys just kind of do stuff sometimes. Yeah. And there's not purpose behind it. And women are very purpose driven. I think men are too. It's just like they haven't been shown. Yeah. I think it's true. How powerful that is. Where it's like a dude's like, oh, fuck it. I'll figure it out while I'm doing it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is certainly value. Well, if this happens, that's going to happen. All this stuff. So it's like you are, you think, more further sighted. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That's beautiful. Wow. No further questions. No further. Yes. Yeah. And this has been the, what is it? We don't know. Disapposition? Disposition? Yeah, there we go. No, deposition. Deposition. I was like, I don't know where you're going. The deposition of Danny Martinello. No, I'm just kidding.

And you're on, are you on any stimulants right now? No, no. I had a coffee and a shake, but like a protein shake. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Some berries and bananas. Oh, right. You're on that high from nature. What do you want to plug? How can we find you? Um, you could find me. I do a podcast with my roommate and other fellow Canadian, uh, Karmic, uh, Jared Campbell, uh, dude, buddy podcast. And then you can follow me on social media, Danny Martinello.
