1:53
what's today's topic statutory holidays
1:56
I kind of thought of this one because
1:57
we're kind of on a holiday we're going
1:59
out I got I talk to fast Ryan Sam I'm
2:01
talking to fast no I talk I understand
2:03
you yeah I mumble you Mumble I talk fast
2:07
that's story holidays that's what we're
2:09
doing so we're on holiday we're off to
2:12
see metala metala so before we get any
2:16
further Ryan we're on a ferry boat we
2:18
had um we had some hamburgers on the
2:20
ferry and I thought let's go use the
2:22
bathroom before we go sure Ryan goes to
2:25
use a Ural is this too much information
2:26
Ryan yeah I used the I used the Ural I I
2:28
didn't have to go number two I just I
2:30
stood up I'm not saying what I had to do
2:33
but I decided to go for a stall and this
2:36
is a b bathroom and like like any stall
2:39
you go to you go and open up the door
2:42
but Ruben before you get to your part of
2:43
the story I was walking behind you uhhuh
2:46
I considered maybe trying out a number
2:48
two if that was necessary or not I
2:50
always do what I call the foot check I
2:52
do a slight little lean to my right look
2:55
underneath cuz I never trust a door so I
2:58
look for feet and I know noticed that
3:00
the middle stall was the only one
3:01
available of the three okay and so I was
3:03
like I did that quick uh well ribbon's
3:05
ahead of me so he's going to grab the
3:06
middle stall obviously cuz I don't like
3:08
to sit between two people while going to
3:10
the bathroom then I noticed that you
3:12
didn't pick the middle stall I'm like
3:14
what other choice does Ruben have cuz I
3:16
already had this information in my head
3:17
so you go ahead and tell your journey of
3:18
the story now I just want to go open up
3:20
a door I I like to go for the side yeah
3:23
well sure but there's there's three
3:24
stalls I'm not going to pick the middle
3:27
well neither would I but it's but I
3:28
would pick it if that was the only
3:30
option well that's what I thought and I
3:32
don't know what you so what was your
3:33
journey my journey is I open up the door
3:36
I see a man his pants around his
3:39
ankles and uh he was uh how do you
3:43
describe CU he saw him come out to me
3:45
from what I saw he was a large man yeah
3:48
he had white pasty thighs nice how do
3:51
you just what did you hear when I opened
3:54
up the door he kind of chuckled he
3:57
laughed he thought it was funny he
3:59
thought it was great that you walked in
4:00
on him he did it was
4:03
like why would you he thought it was
4:05
fantastic he's like I got you like that
4:08
makes me say he did not lock the door on
4:10
purpose he was waiting for somebody to
4:12
exactly no he was he was he just I I
4:15
don't know I I know what you're asking
4:17
no I well I don't know I just I know
4:18
what you're asking and the answer is I
4:20
do not know okay I just was I just
4:22
looked down and I
4:24
like I heard the laughter which I
4:26
thought was fantastic it was like and
4:28
then you walked by me and gave me me
4:30
like a thump on the back while I was
4:31
peeing I'm like could you wait till I'm
4:33
done going to the bathroom before we
4:34
share this moment together I could have
4:36
believe that that was this response so I
4:38
have like a go-to response if I'm in the
4:40
stall and somebody tries to open up I go
4:45
come on in there you go but he was like
4:49
you didn't need to say come on in cuz he
4:50
just kept it unlocked all right well
4:52
good for him good for you to experience
4:53
that so today's topic stat story
4:55
holidays I guarantee if you've had a
4:57
stat holiday you've gone on a road trip
4:59
and you've had to use a public bathroom
5:01
I hate public
5:02
bathrooms you prefer private ones I
5:05
prefer private ones yes yeah yeah all
5:07
right so we're doing the what is
5:08
considered to be holidays are a favorite
5:10
amongst many many people so the best
5:13
thing he the best part of this sorry let
5:15
me rephrase that what makes this the
5:17
best slow slow slow so holidays are
5:21
generally amongst the public enjoyed
5:24
it's the best part of the month it's the
5:26
best part of your week it's the best
5:27
part of the day is a holiday so all
5:30
holidays are the best nobody hates a
5:33
holiday if you hate a holiday we know
5:35
okay you're probably not listening to
5:36
this podcast we are going to decide what
5:38
is the worst from the holidays which are
5:41
considered to be just the best of your
5:43
times January January 1st New Year's Day
5:45
New Year's Day now New Year's day though
5:48
that's officially the holiday is often
5:50
celebrated the night before New Year's
5:52
Eve but New Year's Day is the statutory
5:54
holiday but New Year's Eve is a
5:56
celebration of New Year's day cuz
5:58
everyone can wake up a little bit late
5:59
the next save they don't have kids best
6:01
song for New Year's Day Ryan well
6:02
there's the YouTu song what it called
6:05
New Year's Day oh very good yeah that
6:08
wasn't a very happy time though at that
6:09
one no you like New Year's Day Ruben you
6:11
like New Year's Eve I love it all right
6:14
you know it's that feeling of freshness
6:16
beginning of a new year my two favorite
6:17
things is my birthday and New Year's day
6:21
cuz you got that same feeling of like I
6:22
got a new year in front of me right and
6:24
because I procrastinate by the time I
6:26
think of what I want to do for my New
6:27
Year it's New Year's Day all right
6:29
moving forward now in Canada on the 20th
6:32
of February it's called family day see
6:36
February's is it's different days for
6:38
different provinces yeah it is but but
6:40
in February we have family Day family
6:42
day and family day is just what it
6:44
sounds like it's just it's a government
6:46
holiday that they've given to the
6:47
Working Man saying hey take this day off
6:50
and spending some time with your family
6:51
dog on it I'm in the uh Navy in the
6:53
military and family day is not honored
6:56
amongst the military they do not give us
6:57
the day off for it really that's correct
7:00
because it's divvied out provincewide
7:02
different days it's oh it's a provincial
7:04
holiday it's not a Federal holiday
7:06
opposed to interesting yeah well I'm so
7:09
glad that our federal government is
7:10
saving us money as taxpayers
7:14
thanks oh yes trudo's fa
7:18
Trump all right the next holiday is of
7:20
course February mid April excuse me yeah
7:23
you got your Good Friday to your Easter
7:24
Monday it's nice 4-day weekend so
7:27
Everyone likes this uh Easter break or
7:29
whatever you want to call it depending
7:30
on what your faith is but it's called
7:32
Good Friday to Easter Monday celebrated
7:34
I don't think it has to do with faith
7:35
like I understand it's religious it's a
7:37
relig it's a religious well it's a
7:38
religious holiday I think the same way
7:40
Christmas is but it's uh it's called
7:42
Good Friday you celebrate it differently
7:44
well people just take the Weekend off
7:46
yeah some people do Easter egg hunts
7:48
some people do both attend Mass church
7:50
or massive Easter egg hunt or massive
7:52
Easter egg hunt in the church property
7:55
so this is the big holiday after a bit
7:58
of a break basically you got your J 1st
8:00
and then you have really nothing January
8:01
February March is like a dry spell to me
8:03
this is like the first big good meal
8:05
since Christmas since Christmas it's
8:07
kind of that like hey Summer's around
8:09
the corner you yeah you know the Drury
8:13
months of winter are kind of getting
8:14
behind us here yeah it's like that long
8:16
Tre through winter after Christmas break
8:18
uh speaking of breaks I'm just going to
8:19
break in this moment say that we've
8:20
brought you from meundies just kidding
8:23
we're not brought to you by anybody but
8:25
we're about to pass another ferry boat
8:27
so there might be a big honk of a horn
8:29
like everybody can see each other it's
8:31
not choppy weather I think they feel
8:33
obligated to honk thank you R so stand
8:35
by for honk April Easter weekend it's a
8:38
good weekend four day four days off for
8:40
most people and then in may we have
8:42
Victoria Day in Canada and you Americans
8:45
have in uh may you guys have Memorial
8:47
Day that's often the barbecue weekend
8:50
what is Memorial Day for it's for the
8:51
veterans like the meter veterans they've
8:54
lost I yes it's for I think it's your
8:56
normal those serving those who have
8:59
served remembering families who have
9:01
served who have lost their lives it's
9:02
just Memorial just like it means I think
9:05
it's for the Fallen Soldiers I like that
9:07
better than celebrating Queen Victoria
9:10
yeah I'm not a monarchist no I don't I
9:12
don't want get very political I just
9:14
don't understand why Birthright would
9:16
equal you're a good leader for a country
9:18
yeah this just seem it's kind of
9:20
arbitrary so yeah Canada we celebrate
9:23
there's the horn see I warned you that
9:26
was a sad sad sound of horn well it
9:28
might have been them I don't if that was
9:29
us so Victoria Day Queen Victoria Day in
9:32
Canada still the day off and then
9:33
Memorial Day in May for the Americans
9:35
all right and then we get July July 1st
9:38
is Canada Day that's our basically our
9:41
equivalent to your July 4th Americans we
9:44
do have July 4th in Canada we just don't
9:46
celebrate it yeah we actually have the
9:48
day does
9:49
arrive we just don't do anything about
9:51
it what do you do for Canada this year
9:53
it's just normal family stuff like do
9:56
you do fireworks no if you have kids
9:59
kids ruin
10:00
everything I mean I mean yeah like for
10:03
Canada this last year it was 150th
10:05
celebration of Canada as a country and
10:09
for the rulan home and my home it was
10:11

independence day so to speak a
10:37
provincial holiday so ours is in August
10:40
it's kind of nice it's the first weekend
10:41
in August uh I'm sure the states
10:43
probably have the same thing I don't
10:44
know our America listeners could tell us
10:46
if each state has their own day off from
10:48
the state like Texas day or I know Utah
10:50
has Pioneer Day and there's Puerto Rico
10:52
doesn't have it's not a state but they
10:55
definitely have a Puerto Rican Day yeah
10:57
they they have the parades and all that
10:59
yeah Seinfeld did a good good episode on
11:01
I love Seinfeld love that episode yeah
11:03

11:07
in the parade yeah he got
11:10
bullied all right we're moving into fall
11:13

holidays of the year yeah I've been uh
11:38
prepping for my fall and winter body all
11:40
summer good you look good thank you
11:42
thank you and then we have well
11:44
Thanksgiving Thanksgiving so in Canada
11:47
Thanksgiving is is in October and in the
11:49
states it's in November yeah well we had
11:52
Thanksgiving first celebrated first in
11:54
Canada I lived in the states for 4 years
11:56
with my family we worked at a military
11:58
base there we kind of En I kind of liked
12:00
having Thanksgiving in November know it
12:03
kind of like a precursor to Christmas
12:04
feel you're like oh boy one more month
12:06
is Christmas the shopping kicks in all
12:08
that stuff it's kind of like it's almost
12:10
like the get ready for Christmas holiday
12:12
it is you know Christmas is literally
12:14
like a month away let's get eating let's
12:16
let's get yeah let's get eating and then
12:18
people start putting the trees up after
12:19
Thanksgiving people start so it's kind
12:21
of like the precursor to Christmas
12:23
whereas in Canada it's in October which
12:24
again is kind of nice but we haven't
12:26
done Halloween yet so it's always kind
12:27
of weird what I like about having
12:30
Thanksgiving in Canada earlier is
12:32
because my birthday is Thanksgiving
12:35
weekend typically you don't get muddled
12:37
no there you go and it needed to be all
12:38
about me and actually what I really like
12:40
about American Thanksgiving is the
12:41
movies that's when the movies turn up a
12:43
notch that's a big big Blockbusters come
12:46
come out of course there's that last big
12:48
one Ruben the last big one of the Year
12:50
everyone knows
12:52
Quanza say say that I beat you buddy ah
12:57
tell me about quanda
13:01
anyways it's Christmas we're not I don't
13:03
want to get I don't want to say anything
13:04
so my my wife has a daycare and it's a
13:07
multicultural daycare so she will do
13:09
Hanukkah she's done Quanza nice uh she's
13:12
doing festiv Fest this year yeah fesus
13:15
first of us what's the the Muslim one
13:16

13:18
oh Shakra S A oh crap s was that
13:24
character from Lost
13:26
sorry oh it's going to come to me later
13:28
all right anyways but yeah she'll be
13:30
doing that as well and then Christmas
13:32
all right so Ren this podcast is
13:34
obviously what is the worst satutory
13:36
holiday out of this between Canada and
13:38
America pretty much the same holidays
13:40
give or take a week or two here uh well
13:42
I have a different answer for both
13:44
countries okay wow I know so you might
13:47
have the same answer for each country
13:48
then yeah I've got my worst pick it's
13:51
just the one oh we didn't even see
13:52
boxing day it's not a statatory holiday
13:55
oh right right right yeah okay so uh
13:59
didn't say Halloween either for that
14:00
reason oh true that we didn't say
14:02
Valentine's Day we didn't say
14:03
Valentine's Day oh man St Patrick's Day
14:05
oh what's the worst of the best
14:07
non-statutory holiday St Patrick's Day
14:10
best of the worst worst of the best
14:11
sorry what is the worst of the best
14:12
holiday I don't even pay attention to it
14:14
yeah um okay all right Ryan you go well
14:18
the my worst pick of satory holidays is
14:20
actually New Year's Day oh really I like
14:22
Thanksgiving I like all the other things
14:24
we talked about regarding the other
14:25
holidays like I love a long weekend
14:28
don't get me wrong but the reason why
14:30
New Year's Day New Year's Day not New
14:31
Year's Eve New Year's Day is because
14:34
it's kind of like ah it's all over it's
14:36
a weird feeling of like even though it's
14:38
a day off work we already had a whole
14:40
bunch cuz of Christmas everything's
14:41
climax it's kind of yeah it's
14:45
like it's just you roll over go to bed
14:47
it's
14:49
over my worst pick my worst pick sorry
14:52
sorry listeners my worst pick is um
14:55
where was it Victoria Day I hate the
14:58
monarchy I I hate it's too strong of a
14:59
word never mind I don't I don't I don't
15:02
I it seems kind of weird yeah and the
15:05
only reason why I don't I like that one
15:06
a little bit better than it's a weekend
15:08
in the in the springtime so I like that
15:11
like don't get me wrong if I was born
15:13
into royalty I would accept it sure I
15:15
will take every Victoria Day Off yep but
15:18
where I feel like they need to celebrate
15:20
it's pretty uh bold to have a holiday
15:23
after yourself I
15:25
declare hey that's a question for you
15:27
ribbon yeah go ahead what would be
15:30
Reuben
15:31
day my birth birthday yeah I guess so I
15:35
guess birthday would be the I should
15:36
like do that like reuben sandwich day
15:38
Reuben day I should start that someone's
15:40
probably already started that someone's
15:42
got like a deli somewhere I declare
15:44
October 28 Ryan day yeah it is I like
15:47
the day of Ryan better the day of Ryan
15:49
ooh nice yeah all right was there
15:52
anything else you want to go over with
15:52
the well yeah there's a I thought well
15:54
we got International listeners yes we do
15:57
all around the world and so I thought
15:58
well here's some three other real
16:02
statutory holidays where they get the
16:03
day off it's not just observed but it's
16:05
observed observed holidays that's right
16:07
they're just they're like observed just
16:09
means hey we know you're there all right
16:12
does anybody know what March 23rd is
16:14
what guess what if you are I'll tell you
16:18
few battles I'm reading by the way are
16:21
remembered in such a strange way as the
16:23
bivan loss to the port of Kal to Chilean
16:27
forces on March 23rd the land you
16:30
yawning no well no I just what is my
16:34
breath bad what's going on well really
16:36
that's supposed to point it out cuz our
16:37
listeners don't see I but the people
16:39
might be watching I know maybe I was a
16:40

they created a national holiday to
18:31

18:34
on this is real this is real so every

November 6th since 2008 oh I love the

19:33
history with Kenyans are um I don't want
19:36
