So, um, I live in the United States now, which was not something I ever envisioned myself doing, but I live there. I married a woman who's American, and I've learned that there are differences between Americans and Canadians, which we are all taught here in Canada...
Light applause
...but there are a lot of similarities, too. So, one day when I was sitting, looking at my phone, and I saw a bunch of yahoos marching in Charlottesville, Virginia, chanting... "Jews will not replace us!"... the first thing I thought was, "That could happen anywhere at this time in history.
This could happen in Canada. This could happen anywhere in the United States. It's happening in Europe." And the second thing I thought was... "I'm a Jew.
I would totally replace those guys!"
Laughter
So I wrote this song.

Thank you. So, I know you knew you were coming for a selection of both new songs and old Barenaked Ladies ones, but you probably didn't know you were just coming for a collection of the most obscure and depressing ones.
Laughter
It was an odd demand by public television, but I'm up for it.
Laughter
No, I'm not just about the obscure, depressing ones. No. I like the up-tempo ones. I like to feel good.
I think there's a time and a place. I just read an article a couple days ago that people who are depressed actually feel better after listening to sad songs, and I believe that. I think that's true, 'cause, you know, if I'm depressed, which I am sometimes, if you were to play "Kokomo" for me, I think that might push me over the edge.
Laughter
Have you guys noticed that there's somebody else onstage now? What the...?
Cheers and applause
This is -- He flew all the way from England to be here.

Back in the day... I used to get recognized a lot when I'd go out. And sometimes it was -- You know, at the beginning, it was novel, and then it was occasionally obtrusive -- not intentionally, but, like, sometimes I'd be yelling at my kids in the supermarket and someone would be like, "Hey!" Luckily, it was before the days of selfies. But so now when it happens, it's -- I'm -- I'm -- I'm cool with it.
In fact, I-I love it. It's like it's novel. And people are very nice. Usually it happens, like, you know, I'm in line at a Starbucks or something and someone will come up to me and they'll say, "Hey!
Are you that guy?" And I'll go, "Yeah. Yeah, that's me." And they'll say... "Are you okay?"

And I go, "Yeah, I'm doing great. Yeah, thanks." And they say, "Oh, good. Are you, uh -- Are you still doing music?" And I go, "Yeah. I'm on tour right now, had an album out last year and touring around -- you know, did a couple U.S.
tours and a couple U.K. tours, doing a Canadian tour right now, and back on the road again after that and making a new record after that. I wrote a musical, doing a TV special, all these --" And I can see their eyes glaze over 'cause I think they just wanted to know if I worked there or not.
