Elsewhere, Alan has a hotel-room standoff with a very persistent sausage and Nathan recounts a scooter ride through Rome that could have ended very differently. The guys also revisit the making of 3:10 to Yuma, where a little movie magic turned a construction site into the Old West.

Josh Dean has spent decades making Nathan laugh, occasionally at his own expense. Their friendship goes back to Edmonton, long before Josh was directing Alan and Nathan in giant mascot costumes.

Despite his comedic chops, Josh swears he can’t teach comedy. But when pressed, he boils his philosophy down to three principles. Nathan and Alan hold them up against the jokes he’s handed them over the years, including one they still can’t believe he came up with on the spot.
