92 Canadian Bubble Bath | Discombobulated with Bobby Jaycox

Dive into the unexpected as I broadcast live from a bubble bath in a Roman-themed fantasy hotel room in Edmonton, Canada! This episode captures the beautiful absurdity of comedian life on the road – homeless but somehow lounging in luxury accommodations that feel straight out of a movie.

The cultural differences between America and Canada come alive through everyday experiences that are slightly tilted from what we're used to. There's something fascinating about walking through a McDonald's drive-thru (they actually encourage it here!), sampling Canadian cannabis that hits differently than stateside varieties, and watching television that alternates between familiar American programming, French broadcasts, and content that would never make it past US censors.

Canadian hospitality takes center stage as I compare my elaborate Roman-themed room with its hand-painted ceilings to my tour mate's princess suite. Meanwhile, I'm constantly on alert for that quintessentially "Canadian" experience that seems perpetually just around the corner. When a fan recognizes my companion on the street, it's a reminder of how comedy connects us across borders.

Beyond the laughs, there's something genuinely thought-provoking about travel – how the extended daylight hours affect the rhythm of life, how subtle differences in everyday interactions reveal cultural values, and how a simple change of scenery can provide fresh perspective. As I contemplate life from this bubble bath, I'm struck by how a single decision to sign up for an open mic 15 years ago created a path that led to this perfectly ridiculous moment.

Join me for this uniquely intimate episode filled with observations about ugly locals, odd hotel features, and surprising cultural discoveries – all delivered with grateful reflection on the strange and wonderful journey of a touring comedian. After all, where else can you contemplate life's mysteries from a Roman bathtub in Canada?
