Comedian Tom Green hit one of the lowest points of his life at the turn of the millennium .

He was dealing with intense pain from surgery for testicular cancer a year prior.

Green says the experience shifted his perspective on life and is part of the reason he moved back to Canada .

“I'm kind of in a better place than I’ve ever been in my life,” says the 53-year-old .

The episodes feature heartfelt songs from his upcoming country album, recorded at The Tragically Hip’s studio in Bath, Ont . Tom Green once released a hit single called “ The Bum Bum Song ,” about placing his posterior on random objects.

“When I started The Tom Green Show ,’ it was really, really weird in a sea of things that weren’t as weird as that. Maybe the weirdest thing that I could possibly do is to do something normal, maybe moving to a farm and riding a mule.
