From New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McGuinness!
We are now experts in the field, right?
Because we're a man now.
Well, except for him, I'm a man.
Oh, how can you do that?
Making me look bad.
You're such a hoe tan.
Yeah, I want to take off.
All right, that was Bob and Doug McKenzie.
Take off from the album Great White North.
Of course, it wasn't just Bob and Doug McKenzie, which is Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas.
It was fucking Getty Lee from Rush.
You know what I love about this album?
It was part of the Canadian, look at they got the Canadian content certification.
SCTV, when they started getting big, they go, we got to serve the Canadian content laws.
So put some more Canadian content in there.
And they go, what?
It is Canadian.
It's a Canadian show filmed in Canada by Canadians.
They go, can you just make it more?
And they go, okay, how about this fuck?
And they just had two hose heads, two hosers.
You know what the name hoser comes from?
When you're making an ice rink in your backyard, the dad's got to sit there for hours and hours with the hose, just like watering it down, try to make an ice rink.
So they would call Canadian rednecks hosers.
I call them good dads.
Fuck.
Anyway, yeah, let's start the Canada Day show, an all-Canadian music special.
We got all kinds of great jams for you today.
So you can fucking party.
Yeah, it's July 1st, Canada Day.
Can we call it Day of Canada?
That's a lot easier to say.
I think there's going to be a lot of crackdowns in fucking Ottawa today.
Because Trudeau is fogging pissed about the trucker convoy.
That's like a major scar, a major thorn in his side.
So I'm hearing talk of like raising fines.
No flags allowed, I heard talk of.
That used to be the funnest thing.
You know what we'd do?
We'd start in Ottawa.
Ottawa is right on the border of Quebec, eh?
So you'd fucking party down there in Ottawa, walk to Hull.
It's just over the bridge.
It's funny, too, because as a kid, Hull is Quebec, but it's just over the bridge.
So we would just walk over there, and the drinking age was 18.
So we could drink like a year earlier in Ontario.
It's 19.
So anyway, on the big day, you'd dress up like an idiot, big flag around your neck.
You'd walk to Hull.
You'd wait in the lineup because there's lineups at all the beer stores.
They sell beers at, they're called Depanares, but it's bodegas.
You'd fucking be drinking in the lineup, too.
And then we'd walk back with our beers in our backpack getting wasted.
One time, Pete Sabo tackled this dude.
He's like, what's up, buddy?
He tackled a guy, like hugged him, a stranger.
The guy fell.
You know what was in the guy's backpack?
Quay.
A baby.
He had one of them baby backpacks.
Like the little kid up.
The kid fell out.
That's fucking bad.
We're like, Pete, don't do that.
Fuck.
Don't tackle dudes with babies.
And then another time, Andrew Geddes, his outfit was like a sailor boy fag.
He had knee-high socks and a little sailor suit like a little kid would have with a little flap on the back and a little captain hat and little knee-high socks with little blue shoes.
It was hilarious in a gang, but he got stranded from the pack.
He got separated from us.
So then he takes off, he's trying to like cool it up.
So he pushed his socks down, so they were by his ankles, and he took the hat off and tried to seem a little more less sailor boy.
Holy fuck, that was funny.
But that whole tradition looks like it's in jeopardy now.
Because of Trudeau, fuck.
I want to talk about Canadian bands because no one ever does, and there's some fucking really great bands out there.
But the problem with Canadian rock, of course, is this exact problem.
The Canadian content rules.
Where it's got to be 40, 60%.
I used to work at a radio station there, CKCU, started by Dan Aykroyd.
And I did the punk show.
But I'd have to play SNFU 10 times so I could play the Sex Pistols once.
And it made for a lot of shitty music.
Do you have that montage ready?
I don't want to play the shitty music because I don't want you to get the wrong impression.
