Aristotle, Sir Isaac Newton, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Richard Moran?
The word genius is generally reserved for towering figures of arts and science whose influence endures today.
But in 2019, author Danny Gallagher gave the title Genius to his biography of Moran, the founder of Canadian rotisserie chain Swiss Chalet and its sister brand, a burger and poutine shop famed for its customizability.
A native of Montreal and the son of a Swiss immigrant, Moran moved from his French-dominant home city to the English-speaking Toronto in 1954, where, at the age of 20, he opened the first Swiss Chalet location, modeled after the Chalet barbecue restaurant he worked at in Quebec.
Swiss Chalet was a quick hit, and so in 1959 he plotted his follow-up, a burger stand emulating then-successful American Midwest chain Henry's hamburgers.
Moran's original name for his North of the Border cheeseburger clone was Humphreys, but when a closed car dealership lot became available with an already standing logo featuring a different two-syllable H name, the enterprising Montrealer took it as a sign, literally, using the existing marquee to birth an enduring beef brand.
Building on the established quality of Swiss Chalet, Moran's chain also introduced then-innovative burger customizability, in time offering 11 sauces and 14 toppings for customers to choose from, a model borrowed by American chains, like Five Guys.
Private to a fault, Moran always kept the spotlight on his food, not himself.
He was so personally guarded that when he died in hospital following complications from surgery in 2022, his family kept it a secret for two full years before the press discovered it.
But his legacy will live on, both through Swiss Chalet and through his burger restaurant, which has nearly 300 locations, about 90 of which are co-branded with the rotisserie concept.
And whether he was indeed deserving of the genius moniker, perhaps it would take a genius to calculate every possible permutation of his chain's burger options.
$67 million, according to the company.
This week on Dough Boys, we continue Torrent Dough, Dough Canada, the Great Bite North, a month-long culinary tour of the six with Harvey's.
Welcome to Dough Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants.
I'm Nick Weiger, along with my co-host, today's Tums Sawyer, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell.
What?
It's the Rush song.
It's a rush song.
Oh, today's song.
Didn't know you didn't get the rush reference at the live show either.
Wait, last night was a rush reference?
YYZ.
It's a rush song.
It's a rush song.
Yeah.
I'm going to send you a rush starter pack playlist.
I'm going to put something together for you.
John O.
Yeah.
My
the co-actor on the show.
Yes.
I almost said co-star, but that sounds, I didn't like the way that sounded.
I didn't like saying co-star.
Yeah.
But Mike, but it's, but it's technically correct.
Co-star.
A co-star on the show.
Great.
I love him.
I met him last night.
Lovely man.
Great guy.
Yeah.
He had put that in a story, our show in a story.
It was the Rush song.
I was like, oh, I love that.
Oh, that's nice.
That's cool.
That's a great song.
We're coming off the live show.
We are coming off the live show.
Look, here's the thing.
We are here.
at Podium Studios in Toronto.
If you've seen the video feed before, you might be seeing some unfamiliar confines here.
This is a different setup, a similar tableau, but a different space in a different city.
Thanks to Mo here at Podium Studios for hooking us up.
And also one, of course, shout out Emma Erdberg and Meli Marino
for helping us out, but also super producer Mars Melnick, Toronto's own, is here sitting in to help us all saving our lives.
Yeah.
To help us all figure out this city and figure out this unfamiliar space.
So Mars,
it's a true Toronto show.
We got Mars here.
Yes.
This is great.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I was very hard on Toronto last night.
I liked this.
It was the first few weeks that I was tough on Toronto and I was being mean to it in text with you.
Yeah, you just text me like, I hate Toronto.
Toronto sucks.
Yes.
Toilet City.
Meaner stuff even that we said before the episode started.
Right.
Which we won't get into.
We're not going to say it.
We're not going to get into who Mitch wishes 9-11 happened to.
Did I say Osama was a little low and outside?
Yes.
I I do not wish disasters upon any city, to be clear, especially Toronto.
I like Toronto quite a bit.
It's a lot.
Look, I have been here for,
have I now been here for 24 hours?
I've been here for 24 hours.
I think I actually just hit the 24-hour mark versus when my plane landed and we did the live show and now we're in the studio and I've eaten three at three Canadian chain restaurants.
That's a testament to Toronto.
But I've had wishing a 9-11 on it or 9-11 being in Toronto
to,
well, we'll cut a lot of this.
To me, liking the city a lot.
I do enjoy the city a lot.
This is what I was going to say.
I've been walking around.
I've been taking the metro.
I've taken the choo-choo.
I'm having a lovely time.
It is a reasonably walkable city, at least where we are.
Good food.
Good food.
Yeah, yeah.
Is there a good chain restaurants?
We're going to find out.
We're going to get into it.
Today's Tom Sawyer, a play on the way Mitch pronounces mum and a line from the famous Canadian band Rush's song Tom Sawyer, as well as Mitch's GI problems, often often related to the podcast.
Love the show as always, and very much looking forward to season two of Twisted Metal.
Wow.
Fitting for our guests.
Congrats to the spoonie, McClain, roastedbirdfuck.com.
Was that McLean?
McLean.
Yeah, we know McLean.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, is it the same McLean?
I don't know.
My guess is yes.
From the dose court, my guess is that's who it is.
Okay.
Speaking of, well, there could be John McClain.
I don't think it's John McLean.
I mean, in what way?
Uh-oh.
You mean Bruce Willis?
Hold on.
P.S.
Now I have a machine gun.
All right.
That does sound like John McClain.
I'm curious.
I want to talk about, because I'm still buzzing about Megalopolis.
I want to talk about Megalopolis, but I don't know if our guest has seen it.
We'll sit on the Megalopolis for that.
It seems like our guests are.
I saw it at TIFF.
Yeah.
A few weeks ago.
In Toronto.
Two or three weeks ago.
In Toronto.
Tiff, the Toronto International Film Festival.
That's correct, Wages.
And Marge, do you ever go to TIFF?
I work TIFF.
You work TIFF?
Wow.
Yeah.
I'm like during the festival, I'm a videographer for their in-studio sessions, very similar to this right now.
Wow.
Did you have a favorite session you sat in on?
Yeah, I got to sit in for Guillermo Del Toro.
Whoa.
And what was so cool, this was kind of like a private thing.
He came in at like 7 p.m.
to film it.
And my favorite thing was that there was like this very young goth girl, like who accompanied him, like very, very young, full goth outfit, makeup, all that.
And I was really wondering, I was like, is this his like girlfriend or something?
Like, who is she?
And then
after the session, I just like asked her, I was like, oh, like, how do you know Guillermo?
And she's like, oh, that's my dad.
Whoa, oh my God, of course he has a goth school daughter.
Yeah.
So that was my favorite session to do.
That was fun.
And she's like, this is my boyfriend.
I was like, a fish guy.
The way of water.
Is that what it is or is the shape of water?
Shape of water.
What is the way of water?
Well, the way of water has avatar too.
There was a big conversation on set because Johno, who I love, didn't like Avatar.
And then I got the showrunner to pretend to fire him over it.
And then the showrunner was like, I felt really bad doing that.
MJ, who's been on the show, a former.
Yeah.
Wait, what did how did Jono react?
Johno's like, wait, what?
And he was like, scared for something.
So it wasn't even fun.
For me, it was.
I had a blast.
I was in the corner, like, dying.
I loved it.
You just have to set two other people.
He said he was like 20% sad.
Grow the fuck up, Jono.
Grow up.
Twisted Metal Season 2.
It's not even Twisted Monthal 2.
That's right.
We're not there yet.
This is Toronto.
Actually, what it is.
No, which is a different thing.
I think it would be Twisted Monthal 1.
Twisted Monthal 2.
I think we twisted month old zero, honestly, because we never got to one.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, twisted month old one got canceled.
Yes, twisted month old one.
Part two.
Part one.
Wait, twisted month old two.
Twisted month.
I think you go back to zero now.
I think it'll be re-zero.
I think we figured this out in a few months.
Yeah, we don't have to do this right now because right now we are in the midst of Toronto Dough, which is a month of Canadian chain restaurants.
Toronto, Dough Canada.
Twisted Monthal
season two.
Yeah, that works.
That works.
All right.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's like how trios of horrors lag behind one year of Simpson seasons.
I know.
They got to fix that.
They should just do two one year.
We should do two one year.
There we go.
Selman.
Selman.
Do two one year.
People one year.
Do you remember how you...
We'll take care of one of them.
I texted Selman
and I was like, hey.
And I've never done this before.
I was like, hey, you should put these people on The Simpsons.
And he like didn't respond.
I was like, I think you get this request a lot to put people on The Simpsons.
And he never responded back.
And I realized that like, it's probably annoying to just tell someone to put someone in a show.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, also your list was like Kevin Spacey,
Diddy,
Cosby.
It would be a funny episode.
If Kevin Spacey played like a new neighbor, like American Beauty or something.
Oh, that is a good idea.
Has he ever guessed it?
He must have guessed it.
Probably like 15 years ago.
Yeah,
he must have been on it.
I'll open Springfield.
Selman, get him back.
Get him back.
I was watching Horrible Bosses 1 and 2, and I forgot Spacey is such a big part of the horrible bosses universe.
That is wild.
A horrible boss in a different way than character.
I know.
I know.
That's true.
What are you doing?
I'm looking for, I'm just thinking of what I'm looking at with Simpsons wiki.
See if Kevin Spacey's ever been on it.
Salute ho to Nation Kellier.
That's this one thing.
Salute ho, Nation Kellier.
Let's hit him with a drop, Emma while Wagger
bings.
Look, I know the podcast joke is I'm a dumb guy.
I'm smarter than so many of you fucking idiots.
This is is right.
Wasn't there a thing where the Millennium Falcon was supposed to fly across some part of the park or something?
I don't know what you're talking about.
No, the Millennium Falcon doesn't fly around outside.
You piece of shit.
I was saying maybe it's on a rail or something.
Yeah.
Come on.
We don't have to get into it.
We're not going to relitigate Last Jedi right now.
Bitch wants me to admit that I am somehow lying about my fandom of the Last Jedi.
And then like during the movie, like, Princess Leia flew, and I was like, What the fuck?
Like, I mean, I was so angry at the screen.
There's no, I wish I had never said my opinion on Last Jedi, it's just bad, it never helps.
That movie sucks.
No,
I'm just gonna
weren't around to see it.
That's like,
I'm a Last Jedi.
Oh my god,
you know what?
Maybe Last Jedi is good.
You piece of shit.
I felt it happening.
I could tell you were looking for the email and you couldn't find it.
I looked for the email.
I was like, there's no email.
I was like, there's a lot of Last Jedi talk.
The email spoiled too much that I sent it to you.
Really good drop.
That was great.
Who said that in?
All right, here.
I'll read the email now that it's been spoiled.
You,
hey, Mitch, Nick, Sean, and the rest of the crew sending this drop with no outside influence whatsoever.
It just felt like Sean Distin might be on this episode and a drop in this style of Rudy Norse comedy bang-bang recap practically made itself.
Sean, what's your favorite scene in The Last Jedi?
Mitch, please let him speak.
Love DK.
Drop King.
Wow, the Drop King himself.
Wow, the Drop King.
Dropping a drop.
Well,
my favorite scene in The Last Jedi, I feel like it's probably when they get to Kanto Bite.
Oh my god.
Just a really good part.
We have both now talked about renting out a theater to watch Last Jedi and then discuss it.
And then do like a presidential style debate where we go at it.
That'd be quite a live stream.
I would laugh to watch that.
So, Mitch,
that is you saying that Last Jedi is actually good.
You took something in one of my weakest moments where I was
questioning everything in my life.
And so I was questioning everything in my life.
Can we bring something up?
Because this has happened since we've stopped recording, since our recording hiatus.
You saw a movie you dislike as much or maybe more than Last Jedi.
It was a movie I also dislike.
I'm not sure if you want to disclose that on the podcast or not.
Alien Romulus.
I didn't like it.
I did not like Care for Alien Romulus.
I thought it was really grotesque, the way they used Ian Holmes reanimated,
you know, like a ghostly visage as the Android.
I just really hated it.
And I saw some of the effects works i talked about it on the podcast and it's not it's wild
they do a great job but there there was so what did you not like about it mitch about about alien robots
there was first of all i didn't love the ian home stuff i also think that there was to me there was like no sense of like space and scale like it just felt like oh my god we're running away and then we're gone and then if you think about aliens it's like Sigourney Weaver like working her way through like these big ship sets and like you feel like you feel like this is an actual ship in there.
It was like I didn't like that.
I thought the actors were unlike the actors aren't bad, but I thought the characters were unlikable.
Just completely unlikable characters.
Can I be Aegis for a second?
I want to see a bunch of fucking kids fighting.
Yeah, get the fucking kids out of there.
Craggy character out.
Stranger Things has done so much damage.
Those fucking little shits.
I hate all those little fucking kids.
Interesting.
Every fucking, what's his name?
What the the fuck?
Film Wolfhard?
Film Wolfhard?
Doesn't make me hard.
Okay.
Jesus.
Wait a minute.
I'm glad.
I'm really glad
that that's where that was going.
Oh, my God.
Maybe I don't need you to like The Last Jedi.
He's over 18, right?
We're fine.
I'm saying he doesn't get me excited.
The kids don't get me excited.
I don't care about these kids.
There's some good young kids out there.
I'm just saying specifically the alien franchise for me, I want like
you know, I want like Ian Holt.
I want like, I want someone like Edward James almost.
I want someone who's you feel like you've lived a life.
You're someone out here who's been like a, you know, and I know he was, he was in a different, a totally different battle star, like a totally different space franchise, sci-fi franchise, but you know, you know what I mean?
Like someone who feels like they've lived a life, they've been out on these frigates, uh, you know, they've been mining on remote colonies and they're trying to survive versus like, I don't know, someone, I just feel like to me, that's baked into what's interesting about the franchise.
I agree.
And also,
I think that every movie before it had done
similar ideas better.
Alien Resurrection does a similar thing
where there's like a hybrid alien.
Yeah, sure.
There's just every movie, like there was so much stuff from past movies that was done.
So you're saying they were sort of obsessed with the past?
Oh, my God.
Because ultimately, I feel like.
They should just let the past die.
Yeah, honestly.
Kill it if that.
That's a great point.
Dear God.
You gonna light something on fire?
Go for it.
This is what I've been doing with Mitch: I've been in like starting conversations with him and then sort of inserting Last Jedi lines.
He's inceptioning me.
I'm inceptioning him into liking this stuff.
During the season of In Twisted Metal, I've been saying Last Jedi lines accidentally on set.
And we're like, you know what?
Roll with that, Mitch.
What's the Yoda line?
We are what we grow beyond.
Oh my God.
That is the true burden of all masters.
You're a good writer.
I've read your scripts.
You're a good writer.
Respect my opinion.
I thought you were going to say, respect my authoritative.
You should respect my authoritative.
Well, because I said this before.
Yeah.
It's like the Jimmy Buffett song.
Finns to the left, Finns to the Right.
There's too many Finns.
Get them out of the movies.
The little kids, they don't belong in the movies.
I don't care.
I don't know if the Finns thing, the the Jimmy Buffett thing works as well.
I think you stick with Finn.
Finn doesn't get my dick hard.
I mean, there's a Finn I like, and he's played by John Boiega.
Oh, there you go.
You didn't like Alien Romulus either.
I did not like Red Normal.
You thought I was a stinker.
I really did not like Alien Romulus.
Yeah, that was.
It was a divisive movie.
I've heard good and bad things.
Yeah.
I didn't love it.
I saw it with a director from our show.
I won't out the person that I saw it with, and they did not like it at all.
Drops at birdfuck.com if you want to send in your future Last Jedi compilation.
Our guest today, a writer and producer on Twisted Medical.
Hold on a second.
Finn had such so much potential as a character.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking wasted.
Yeah, yeah.
Who do you think wasted it?
Fucking...
I mean, every director that.
Okay.
Okay.
I mean,
who do you think wasted it?
I don't know.
I just think there's an opportunity in the third one.
Guy picks up a fucking lightsaber, becomes a Jedi.
They could have done it.
Rise of Skywalker is a debacle.
Yeah.
That movie's awful.
You could say the whole trilogy is maybe a mess.
It makes the whole.
Yes, you're right.
It's kind of the exquisite corpse model of like no one, there was no continuity between individual movies, so you don't evaluate them on their own.
But like the third one in particular, not just destroys that trilogy, but destroys the entire franchise.
There's new messes to talk about.
There are new messes to talk about.
Megalopolis.
Man, I don't want to talk about Megalopolis.
I really thought you were going to like that the way you were going.
Because I was talking to Mitch before you went to go see it.
Yeah.
And I was like, you're You're primed to like this movie that everyone seems to hate.
I was defending, like, I was like, being like, he like funded this movie himself, which is a good thing outside the studios.
And then people were bringing up that he was,
you know, kissing people on the cheek, making people uncomfortable.
And I was like, well, I, you know, I'm not defending that, but I was like, he made this movie on his own and he's a master filmmaker.
And then people were like, you're defending Megalopoulos too much.
And then I saw it, and it's not, it's not very good.
He needed the studio to step in.
Let me first off say the Doughboys aren't kissing anybody.
Yes, the Doughboys don't kiss a single person.
We're not kissing
Wally and Irma.
Well, Wally and Irma, yeah.
You better.
They're little sweeties.
Yeah.
Jemmy gets a little kiss every day.
Jemmy gets a little killer.
Jimmy gets a little bit of a little kiss.
You guys are kissing.
We're kissing animals.
The Doughboys only kiss animals.
Okay, okay, good, good.
But I will say this, and I said this in the live show, and Distin, I'm not sure if you're aware of this.
Look, our guest today, writer, producer, and Twisted Middle on Peacock.
Season two coming soon.
Sean Diston is here to introduce you officially.
Hi, hi, Diston.
Thanks so much for bringing time for us.
And, but there's Aubrey Plazas in the movie.
Yes.
And her character's name is Wow Platinum.
And
I love Aubrey.
I think she's a lot of fun in the movie.
She does a great job.
She is a lot of fun in the movie.
The movie's
insane, but I love that it exists.
A much more fun mess than other movies.
I agree.
I agree.
I'd rather watch that again than Alien Romulus any day.
But here's what I was going to say: Wow.
The Dough Boys say wow.
And also, the highest honor on the Dough Boys podcast is to get five forks and enter the Platinum Plate Club.
Wow.
I think Francis Ford Coppel.
Do you think he listens?
I think he likes the Dough Boys, and that makes sense.
It's a little shout out to the Dough Boys.
Yeah, it might make sense because there are a couple of goofballs.
He did this exact same bit.
Have you listened to last week's episode?
You heard this in the live show.
He just had a week to sit on ice.
He brought it out of the fridge, and it's still good.
Leftovers are still good on that one.
Oh man.
And also similarly, we make Jemmy uncomfortable when we kiss her on the cheek.
She's like,
please stop.
Please stop kissing my dog.
She's on dog Reddit, being like, I have something to expose about the Doughboy.
She's not allowed to read Reddit.
So, so the,
our buddy Scott Gairdner from Podcast The Ride was saying, like, regarding Megalopolis, is you want it to be like, we talked about Avatar a second.
You want to be like James Cameron before Avatar came out.
I was like, what's this guy doing?
Give me a guy, and then it comes out, and everyone's going to be a good one.
It comes out, it's huge.
You know what?
It's fucking good.
Yeah, it's great.
You want that to be the case with Megalopolis.
Unfortunately, it's just kind of like this beautiful mess, but it is like a fun movie.
In a way, I do kind of love it in many ways.
I love that he made it.
Why not?
What else are you going to do with your money?
It's fine.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
So you love it.
I don't love it.
It is messy.
It's a mess.
Yes.
But I do love things about it.
So you're able to appreciate a movie for parts and not necessarily.
Oh, you can look at parts of it and be like, that actually is good.
But okay, I'm just.
You can't do this debate.
You're just going to win.
I was just wondering.
I don't want to lose the debate.
I start talking about Doughboys crowd size.
I think you should do this debate.
I think you should make this happen.
I think you should get a moderator, an impartial moderator.
Ooh, I think that's good.
And I think you should get a, I mean, you know, maybe someone from the the Jedi Council could moderate it.
That could be good.
Tim Fisto is available.
Yeah, but yeah, Pooh, Pooh would be good.
Should we get Koalak to dress up like Depa Balava?
I think this could be pretty good.
That'd be a fun show.
Okay, Sebana, Disc and Europe.
Actually, can we get Kowalik in the Noid costume with a lightsaber?
Oh, man.
They should redo that scene.
They should redo the Cantina scene.
And you know how they had that devil character they took out out of it.
Yes.
They should just re-put that scene in, and it's koala as the noise.
I think that'd be good.
Why do they take the devil character out?
I like the devil.
The devil, you know, you're not going to.
Did Disney do that?
Jesus.
I don't know if it was Disney other.
I think it was George Lucas, actually.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
It feels like a Lucas movie.
He's just overthinking things.
Yeah.
To look too much like a regular, like what we think the devil looks like.
What looks like the human devil.
Maybe it wasn't Christian.
Maybe it was like a werewolf or something.
I don't remember.
Oh, yeah.
There was like, yeah.
He was the werewolf.
I think it's kind of both.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's like a devil and a werewolf.
Maul's pretty devilish.
Yes, 100%.
Come on.
Who is?
Darth Maul.
Oh, Maul is a little.
Yeah, he is a little devilish.
He's a little devilish.
Mars, where are you on Star Wars?
I produced the Newcomers podcast, the first season of Star Wars, so I was kind of forced to watch all of it.
My old roommate was a huge Star Wars head, so I just kind of got a throsmosis from him.
But I actually, I play Beat Saber a lot, which is
the real game with the lightsabers.
And I've been learning bow staffing now
and i've been learning it from the wushu school in la and those are the same coaches who taught the actors who wow used the lightsabers to begin with so it feels like a lot of people from the jedi themselves wow that's really great you are an absolute jedi and it doesn't matter if you have skywalker blood or not right no that's the whole that's the whole idea yes no no no you have uh
you have emperor blood isn't it yeah yeah i don't know if that was established in the last jedi but
anyone can be a jedi and i'm glad mars that you're using your life.
I've seen these videos.
I mean, she would kick my ass with one of these things.
The whole thing with the yeah, anyone can be a Jedi.
If you saw the Target commercial in the middle of the movie where the kid holds the broom and looks up at the sky, well, it's kind of like the end of the movie.
Kind of the last shot.
And I don't know.
The fact that it's not the last shot.
Oh, is it the last movie?
It is the last shot.
And also, I don't know, the message of inspiring kids to fight the fights that you can't fight because you're getting too old.
I guess that's a bad message for a movie.
Not that it's all about lineage.
I guess we should just
mostly be old guys just like your alien opinion finn wolfard
it's on you to say that last jedi sucks
do it finn
i would love finn so much if he if he just if he took
out what his opinion is and then i maybe would love him
that's a possibility uh i mean like Finn Wolfard playing Finn from Star Wars is like the kind of funnier die video I would make in 2011 for $250.
He's already kind of a Star Wars name.
Yeah, he's got a Finn.
His name's Finn.
There's a character named Finn.
Whatever.
Let's fucking shoot this thing.
And then you have LO Cool J do deepest, bluest.
My hat is like a shark's fan.
Then you've got that.
Now you've got a Funnier Die video.
We really watched Deep Blue Sea.
We watched it for a while.
Yeah, we did.
A fun movie.
Oh, it's fun.
It's a lot of fun.
I love it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
You've been up in Canada for a while.
And I want to talk about your experiences in Canada.
But first, before we were talking, we were both commiserating, and I had a little bit of a situation that has maybe been resolved.
I think my bag is finally back at my hotel, but my luggage was lost.
Yours was gone for like a month.
Mine was gone for a month.
Wow.
And was this also Air Canada?
It sure was.
Oh, my God.
And
it had me singing everywhere I went.
Blame Canada, blame Canada.
That's a great song.
Because I have never had luggage lost before.
Yeah.
And it was one of those things where I didn't intend on checking this second bag, but they were like, hey, you can check a second bag.
So do it.
You know, so I was like, why don't I fucking splurge and walk around with just my little backpack in the airport?
Yeah.
So I checked that second bag.
And of course, instead of saying it didn't get on the plane, we know where it is.
It's coming to you in a couple hours, which is what happened to you.
They said they had no record of it ever being checked in and it never existed in the system.
Oh my God.
That's super cool.
So
it took like a whole month of emailing Air Canada and being like, hey, you guys, I don't, what's up with my bag?
And they'd be like, can you list everything that was in the bag in detail?
And I was like, okay.
So I try.
I don't remember what the fuck I, does anyone remember what they picked in a bag?
And then I would not hear anything for a week.
And I'd be like, hey, I haven't heard anything in a week.
And they'd be like, hey, could you list everything that's in the bag like further?
Like mad prices and colors.
And I'm like, I don't fucking remember.
Yeah.
Do you think they're just buying new stuff?
Yeah, they're just like, oh, I don't know.
This guy's style is pretty cool.
So they like, we go back and forth on this.
I, look, I start to become a little bit of a jerk in the email.
I'm like, guys, tell me how you're looking for this bag.
I haven't heard anything.
I'm getting pissed.
In the bag is a picture of me and my girlfriend.
I'm staying in Toronto for four months.
I need a little bit of home.
Right.
Of course.
I don't care about the clothes.
It's the photograph that I need.
And I keep saying like, guys, there's a photo in there of me.
Like you can find the bag and know it's mine because you look at it and it's me in there.
And I must have sent a really angry email.
And then they emailed me back, like, hey, the bag is gone.
We don't know where the bag is.
We're just going to pay you back.
So I got a little pissed.
And I do what every LA comedian does when something happens on a flight.
I went to Twitter.
Wow.
And I didn't tweet out like to the world.
I just DM'd Air Canada and I was like, hey guys, I'm dealing with some customer service thing and it's not going great.
I'm really upset.
Can someone help me?
And within one hour, they were like, we found your bag.
That's wild.
Man.
So happy ending to a pretty frustrating story.
They also are mailing me a check for clothes I had to buy.
So if you had to buy clothes overnight, save those receipts because they have to pay you for them.
I bought this shirt.
So
looking good.
Thank you.
I like the weight on this.
The Canadian fit.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, you have not, when was the last time you traveled out of the country?
Last time we did Doughboys in Canada.
Okay.
So that was Vancouver 2020, right?
Have you been back?
Was that Vancouver 2020?
I never went to Vancouver.
I guess it is.
You saw me did.
So it had to be before that.
You're right.
You're right.
And we went to Boston Pizza.
Remember, we had Boston Pizza.
Yeah, but we reviewed AW with Off-Book, and I believe that was our last Canadian show.
And then, like,
two months later, it was March.
We were on tour again.
Yeah, we were and we were in college.
We were in Denver, and then we heard the COVID was happening, and we went home.
Tom Hanks got it.
Tom Hanks got it.
The NBA was getting it.
It was official.
The drop was released.
But so you've now been here for 24 hours.
I'm sure you didn't get to talk about Toronto much in the live show because you had literally probably just landed.
Yeah, I just, yeah.
My experience was landing, finding out they lost my bag, checking to the hotel, and going to Tim Horton's place.
So since then, what's your initial reaction to being out of the country, being in Toronto?
I mean, the travel is really, really stressful.
And then I and the flight's not bad.
The flight is okay.
I mean, this, I will say, the, the, and, and, and Amelia booked this for me, but the, the Air Canada exit row is goaded.
I had so much legroom.
Like, my legs were like this, like, fully spread out.
I was like, that's crazy.
He was just fully planked in his chair.
Yeah.
No, I got, I got, I got like full extension here.
It was like, it was crazy how much legroom I had.
You saw a lot of your thighs just then.
Hey, you know, sky's out, thighs out.
uh the
the the the thing i had is that like
still the the experience of being in the airport and everything like that's like really stressful that's really chaotic you also look you i just also get very anxious being in confined spaces you know what i mean we got into a fight in one of our last released episodes uh with aaron keefe about um
how we have different schedules.
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
You didn't understand that all I was trying.
We won't get back into the fight.
Okay.
But all I was trying to say is no matter when my flight is, I don't eat.
That's all I was trying to say.
Yes.
And so.
Just, you know, Aaron Keith is in therapy right now, I heard.
Because of this fight.
Sorry, Aaron.
True.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You're not the first.
So
a lot of people, it happens to a lot of people who do the show.
But
we are different people with...
But it sounds like you're like, I want to get up and have a breakfast and stuff like this.
You are always late to the airport.
You cut it so close because he dreads being there i understand yeah but he cuts it closer than he's missed a flight with i missed a flight twice with doughboys twice twice how did i miss a flight twice i think he missed a flight twice i think he just missed one flight you almost missed it you missed one and then you almost i almost missed i missed other one yes i will say nick if you are an anxious flyer getting there early and setting your nerves like i get to the airport so early because i hate this about you i hate like running right onto the fucking plane like that's when i feel anxious about being confined no i'm with you you like lounges Go to the fucking whatever lounge.
Well, this is the thing, though, but it's like, I don't have any Air Canada points.
I don't have any flight status.
So, like, I'm there, and I did get there early.
I got up at 4 a.m.
Uh, Natalie took me to the airport, which was super duper nice.
She just, she didn't have to get up and give me a ride, but she did.
Don't you have a membership of the freak off lounge?
Diddy's
Diddy's Freak Off Lounge?
It's not the same anymore.
It's dead in there.
I went to,
no, but I, so I just went to like a Golden Road brewery, so like, whatever, like, just like the airport version of the local brewery they have down there.
Sounds like it would suck.
And I got like just the most flavorless breakfast brewery.
I mean, I just said this in the show we did last night and in last week's episode.
But it's
early.
Yeah, that was.
I went to the airport and I went to Golden Road Brewery.
Yeah.
Everything.
Oh, you suck.
It sucks.
We suck.
No, you guys are in Toronto.
Oh, no, I didn't mean we suck.
I meant the world sucks, but I'm also we do suck.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The world sucks for sure.
You were going to ask me about my time in Toronto.
Yes.
Yes.
um i've been here since the end of june i really like it it's chill i mean like you talked about the train i like live right off a subway stop that's great um the train's really great the food is kind of
great like i'd always heard toronto's food was good especially like the indian food and it is exactly like it's different than i imagined but it is really really good and I'm having a great time on set with Mitch and company, but
I haven't like had a ton of time to like do your work
but you have had zero time i had less time than mitch for sure but and i feel like i haven't there's been very little windows
yeah but i'm but but it's still good like there's some good restaurants we we've all gone to this one restaurant lee it's great that is like a really really fun restaurant i'm sure you should try to go yeah you guys should try to go it's really good what's it called lee like l-e-e okay
the chef's name is uh what is what kind of food is it i forget how to say his name is it it sounds like it's not susserly.
Susserly.
Susserly.
It's like Susserly or something close to that.
I don't want to know.
But it's like a Chinese restaurant.
Yeah.
And it's just like really high-end, but also like,
I don't know.
It's like not bullshit.
It's just really good.
That sounds delightful.
You'll know the chef.
He was an iron chef for some time.
Okay.
And so he's the guy who his son.
brings him like fast food items and he tries them.
He's oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know that guy.
I think I sent you one of those videos on Instagram or whatever.
Mars, have you been to Lee?
I have not.
Okay.
It's good.
Have you heard of him?
Do you know what it is?
I've heard of Sorcerer Lee.
Yeah, he's a very famous
Canadian.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mars.
I'm a very, very famous Canadian chef, but I've not been to Lee.
Yeah, there's a ton of restaurants here where it's like, oh, this famous chef has a restaurant.
Like, there's a bunch of that kind of thing in Toronto.
And it's just been, I don't know, it's chill.
People are nice.
No one's really talking about the election, which has been kind of great.
Maddie Matheson from Dub Bear has a restaurant here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She has a few men.
Talk that up.
Yeah, yeah.
There's like a chicken parm restaurant or something that maybe she has.
Right, really?
It's like on the way to Niagara.
It's like close to Hamilton, actually.
Yeah.
The Hammer.
That's what we call it.
We shoot a lot of stuff outside of Toronto in a place called The Hammer.
Yes.
And
that has great pizza.
This is really good.
You would love it.
It looks like the beginning of Deer Hunter.
Have you seen Deer Hunter?
Of course.
When you drive over the like, we all, we're always like getting in, like, before the sun is coming up because we have to be there so early.
When you drive over this bridge, there's like factories shooting fire from like big steam pipes.
It's fucking insane.
It's wild.
That's what I want from the alien franchise.
That sort of shit.
I agree with you.
Yeah, yeah.
I did feel like, because with my first time in Canada, we went and we talked about this, but we went to Saskatoon in Saskatchewan.
And everyone on the plane
felt like, oh, these people are going, they're trying to escape from something.
You know, people are all trying to start a new life.
They're all in witness protection.
Yeah, yeah.
But in Toronto, like, we're here in Toronto summer, and it's just been really great.
I know it probably snows and it's shitty other times of year, but no, it's nice.
It was actually kind of hot at first, but it's warm.
I wore it.
I'm walking around with it in short sleeves.
I'm comfy.
What'd you say?
Sky's out thighs out.
Sky's out thighs up.
Exactly.
You're saying that as he's getting pushed into a cop car.
Sky's out thighs up.
You
the The steel mills are cool, and they look like the, they really do look like
the beginning of deer hunting.
They kind of remind me a little of like what Arkham probably felt like.
Yes.
It feels like early.
I'm like, this is what America probably felt like
100 years ago or so.
And then also we can recreate the
Russian roulette scene too in Hamilton if we ever go.
That's going to be a great double.
Russian Roulette.
The Russian Roulette double.
the barrels full
um have six rounds in here
uh okay i want to ask you about because we were talking about toronto eats and and there is a uh i want to specifically ask you about jamaican food because there is a chain up here called jerk king have you been to jerk king i have had jerk king there's another chain up here called
scotty bonds
whoa which is like one that is in the work lunch rotation so you can kind of gauge its quality from that it's uh jerk king is great yeah I mean, the Jamaican food here, Caribbean food in general, is really good.
There's
good.
I heard it.
I haven't had any Caribbean food.
There's a lot of good stuff here.
I really, one thing that I've not been able to get in LA, and I could kind of get when I was back in Miami when I was living there, are Jamaican patties,
which are these like, you know,
beef-filled sort of
flaky sort of pastries.
And there's so many options in Toronto, but the best one I've found, and Mars, I wonder what, if you have an opinion on this, there's one that's in the subway station called Express Patties, and it's like really fucking good.
And the fact that it's in a subway station makes me feel like it's kind of cool, yeah, right.
Like, you got to buy a ticket to the subway to get it.
Like, I think there's one in a mall or something.
I'm talking this guy's language right here, but it's like, yeah, it's like a restaurant that's down in the like train station, which is kind of cool.
I love anything subterranean, so a lot of fun.
Yeah, um, you love anything subterranean, yeah, all right, yeah, he's Ninja Turtles.
Chuds.
They call him the Chud Gig.
Marza, wait, have you been to Express Patty, Patty Express?
I think so.
I've been to various ones.
There's many of them in the subway.
And yeah, Toronto is kind of known for its Jamaican patties.
It's kind of like a huge culture here.
Wow.
So it's been very good.
There's so many.
And there's this place, Scotty Bonds, is like...
They have like sandwiches.
You can get like a jerk chicken sandwich that's like the equivalent of like, oh, we're getting Mendocino farms, but this week we're getting Scotty Bonds.
And you like get a jerk chicken sandwich and eat it and get the rumblies for the rest of the day.
I heard Scotty Ox gets a piece of Scotty Bonds
that pay him a little royalty.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Scotty Bonds, I think, is short for Scotch Bonnet, which is
the pepper that is kind of one of the main peppers in jerk food.
Wow.
Well, a restaurant we're not going to talk about here, which I have gotten addicted to, is Nando's.
Nando's.
Yes.
I am, I'm the Nando king.
I walk down a Nando Nando.
I'm a cheeky Nando guy.
I walk down a Nando.
Where is the Nando's?
Because you've mentioned it, but I've not had it.
Like a mile away from my hotel.
I walk down there.
I get a nice, refreshing lunch.
Been walking a lot in this city.
It's a very walkable town.
I love to walk.
And there's a ton of bike lanes.
If you're a bike, I mean, I hear from the drivers at work that they hate the bike lanes because there's causing a lot of trouble.
I was just telling why I exist.
The Transpo does not like the bike lanes.
But people use the bike lanes.
There are people on bikes all the time.
It's one of those things where, like, if your job is to be a driver, I completely understand that frustration, but I think like the overall idea behind using bike lanes and bus lanes to move people as opposed to cars that are occupied by a single driver a lot of times is a more efficient way to do a city.
You're not driving at all, are you, Mitch?
I haven't yet, but I will at some point.
It's pretty chaotic, I must say.
I'm constantly in fear of hitting someone on a bike.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, driving around the city.
I do have a rental car and I've used it like four times.
It's kind of chaotic yeah yeah yeah i would i would try to avoid driving myself i mean driving stuff but the train like on the weekends i've really like hopped on the train and like if you need to take a lift too it's really it's kind of like
do you guys remember in la when lift was like you'd be at like the satellite or something and you'd call a lift and it would be there in one minute Do you think this guy remembers that ever?
No, I don't know if I'm going to.
We went out at night.
Friends were hanging out.
There was mirth.
But I feel like it's old school rideshare where like you can have a fucking car in front of you in like one minute, sure.
And I
lifts are a little slow.
I only have lift.
My Uber,
my Uber got
suspended.
What did you do?
What happened to your Uber?
What did you do?
What happened?
Top dog got suspended.
Top dog.
I was out one night.
Wait, do you know this?
Do you know Mitch's Uber name is the top dog?
Oh, that's really funny.
My Uber name was the top dog.
So
I was with Mitch.
Mitch got an Uber.
I learned this.
Mitch got an Uber.
We got in, and the driver goes, you must be the top dog.
That's really funny.
Do you know how many times I would get, and I meant to change it forever, but you know how many times a delivery person would be and be like, you're the top dog?
And I was like, yeah, I'm the top dog.
And they were like, and they'd be like, no, you're not.
I'm not expecting to see.
I think they expected to see someone like way cooler than me.
And so
here's the thing, because I do think Uber actually did.
I had credits in my account because they just, I didn't get food delivered
twice.
And, and, and then they,
they, I was like, it wasn't working.
I was like, what's going on?
I looked at my email and there was like a ton of emails that were like, you need to change your name.
Like, like, you, you're like, your name is not appropriate.
Wait, how is the top dog issue?
How is the top dog not appropriate?
Yeah.
They suspended your account because of
the.
Rider does not match name, must change
to medium or low dog.
Low dog.
Little dog.
I mean, that's so fucking funny.
Now that I think about it, I'm like, oh, I could get someone to call me anything when I get into the fucking.
That's really.
That's in the, why does it matter?
What is the, what is, what is, what is, what the fuck is wrong with the top dog?
Probably some security reason or something, you know.
But people put fake names a lot of the time, so I didn't know why it mattered.
Amelia, what do you do for, are you, are you skid mark on Uber?
Or do you use your name?
I use my name.
I do have a fucked up photo as my avatar.
What is it?
It's like a semblance of a face, but it's not...
I don't know.
It has eyes and smile.
Okay.
What are you describing?
What?
I don't know.
It's like a weird edited face.
I'm surprised that I get rides because it's really disturbing to look at.
And her account isn't suspended.
Mine just has the top dog.
I didn't do any photo.
I didn't put a dog in the photo.
It's nothing.
but you could change your name and get your account back.
You think?
Yeah, you need to legally change it.
I like calling.
I emailed Uber and then they were like, we'll reach out to you.
And they never did.
And then I called, it was like a process where I was like, oh, you, I don't know if you've ever tried to reach out to Uber.
It's like impossible.
Yeah.
You don't have like an actual central location.
No, it's, it's, and then like, I was emailing with them a ton and they just never ruined your true.
You need to go down to the courthouse and change your legal name to the top dog and then sue Uber.
Yeah.
Be like, you motherfuckers.
I maybe will.
I do think that it was because I had credits in my account and they tried.
It was like right after I got credits.
Fuck you.
Also, bad company.
Bad company.
Fuck Uber.
They, they, so your Uber account kind of got it, got suspended.
I mean, I don't think any of these companies are good, but whatever.
We did take an Uber over here from Harvey's.
We wanted to take the streetcar, but it was one of those things where we were running behind and it was slightly
different.
The streetcar is not as consistent as the train.
Yeah.
That's kind of not a thing to do if you're in a rush.
I'm going to try the streetcar at some point, but today it ended up being the Uber.
We can can take it back today.
Oh, that's fun.
Okay.
Something to look forward to.
What a blast.
I'm glad Nick's having fun.
Maybe this will lead to more travel.
Things are nice outside of California.
I look, this is a lovely city.
I like this city.
Not only do I have to have a lot of fun in New York City.
I like New York City.
I like urban spaces.
I like more densely populated areas.
I like walkable neighborhoods.
I like all that stuff.
It is the transit the issue.
What if for the next tour we
bonk you on the head with an iron?
I love this idea already.
I actually don't even care what else happens after that.
So long as you get to bonk,
it's great.
Big bonk, put you in like a body bag, put you in like, you know, check you under the plane.
Yeah.
And then just.
Now he's getting into it.
And then you just wake up in another.
town.
I mean, that would be great.
This is the second guess who suggested knocking Mitch Nick out and putting him either in a coffin.
the other suggestion was a coffin this was a body
a coffin might be better than a body coffin's kind of fun so we transport him like nos for october
all right and we just make sure there's a switch in the coffin if he wakes up yeah
i did play some of that new zelda on the on the plane a little bit you have
you never finished it this is the one where you're building on the show the new the new one with like where you play where you play as princess zelda
i heard it's good it is good it is very much more like a like like kind of a puzzler than than a traditional zelda like there's a lot of like basically what you're doing is what's it called echoes of wisdom
that's the subtitle thank you ema uh basically what you have you have like a little wand and the wand lets you pick any item in the environment and then you can create another one so like basically and that's usually that's mostly used for like like you know light puzzling so it'd be like oh how do i get on top of that uh roof over there well okay i have this table here i can take this table and now I can create another table and then I can climb onto this one and then stack another table on top of it and, you know, kind of ladder up them until I can get to this higher surface.
It's all shit like that.
It's kind of interesting.
Yeah.
Too bad
Nintendo got the woke mind virus.
Yeah.
Speaking of woke mind virus, are you either of you guys playing Star Wars Outlaws?
I have not played it.
I'm not playing it.
Is it fun?
I think it's pretty fun.
I mean, it does start in Kanto Bite, I will say, which I found exhilarating.
Abodaka is a very positive.
I haven't had enough time to get into it.
Do you like Kanto Bite?
I do like Kanto Bite.
You're full of shit.
I like Kanto Bite.
I like the idea of a
casino plan.
I like the idea of a casino plan.
It sounds like you really love it.
You are Rose Tico in that scene.
Kanto Bite.
I'm not Rose Tico.
Kanto Bite is Hollywood.
And you show up there and Finn is like, oh, it's fucking great.
Check it out.
And you say, look closer.
If you look closer, you can see people are being abused.
Exactly.
And then if you're...
I never thought about how deep Kanto Bite is.
And then at the end of the scene, when he goes, it was worth it making them hurt.
Like,
she is you and what you want to do to Hollywood.
You want to destroy Hollywood.
And that's what Kanto Bite is.
It's evil.
Like, Kantobite is the reason Star Wars still exists.
Wars and Star Wars together still exist because of Kanto Bite.
I love Hollywood, baby.
Okay.
All right.
I did release a bunch of horses in Hollywood every day.
Oh, I remember when you did that.
That was
fun.
Going back to Monkey, to knocking me at rendering me unconscious and putting me in a coffin.
That is what they did.
If people are old enough to remember the old 18 TV series, that is what they did to Mr.
T's.
He did not like traveling.
He was scared specifically of planes.
And it's not that I'm like terrified of aviation.
I do have a,
of a, yeah.
You know what?
I'll love when we, when we, we store you away down below is when I get the thing from Air Canada that luggage has been lost.
Oh, well.
Uh-oh.
I don't need to find it.
Just pay me for the value.
I just live here now, buddy.
I'll take that replacement white t-shirt over you.
Oh, yeah.
Did they give you a care package?
They gave me a care package.
They didn't give me shit.
The care package had a toothbrush in it, like some floss, some single-use deodorant, and then it had just a plain white XL t-shirt.
Did you get any Air Canada merch on that?
No, they didn't give me shit.
They give you pants.
They just gave you a t-shirt?
Yeah, just a t-shirt.
They're like, have a clean t-shirt.
You can Donald duck around in this.
Yeah.
It's fucking crazy.
That's what I thought when they were like, what do you have in your suitcase?
Like an Air Canada sweatshirt?
I thought it was going to be something like that, just trying to be like...
Come on.
Yeah.
No, they didn't give me a shit.
Just a check.
That sucks.
Well, that's not bad.
Okay, so we went to Harvey's.
Also, can I just quickly say I forgot to say that aliens are coming to Earth in the new alien TV show.
I was going to bring that up before.
Yeah.
I really hope someone says welcome to Earth.
That would be fun.
That would be really fun.
It's a fun thing to say to an alien.
Harvey's was founded in 1959 in Richmond Hill, Ontario.
It is a burger and poutine concept with close to 300 locations.
Distinct, had you had Harvey's previously?
I had only had it once.
It was brought to set like so during this current trip.
Yeah, because this is my first time in Canada.
Oh, wow.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
So
they have this thing on set where if you're going late, they will order food from someplace and then they call it second meal.
Yes.
So you'll get second meal and often it's some bullshit you don't want.
Like they got Popeyes once, which was kind of cool.
I wasn't there long.
Yeah, Mitch wasn't there that day.
And they often get
from this chain called Pizza Pizza.
I don't know if you guys are covering that.
We're not covering Pizza Pizza during Toronto, the Dough Canada, the Great Bite North, the month-long culinary two of the six.
Yes.
We are doing Boston pizza instead.
That's better.
Pizza pizza sucks.
It's like a worse little Caesars.
And I thought when I see pizza pizza, I'm like, oh, this must be what they call Little Caesars here.
We talked about this
with Stephanie at the live show, which is that.
I disagree.
Mars is shaking her head at me.
And you maybe have been shaking her head at me the entire time, Mars.
What's going on?
Pizza pizza is a terrible chain.
It tastes like cardboard.
It's not good.
I didn't say this.
Mitch likes it.
I'm going to put my feet up here.
Oh, shit, my knees are cracking.
It's been a wild season of Twisted Metal.
Yeah, um,
I, I, I, yeah, you're not kidding.
They, hey, I'm not a man who I'm not a you wouldn't think of me as a stunt guy, would you?
Let me say this before you get into your pizza, pizza take.
Nick, uh, Mitch has been on set for months now, and we are having him do stunts.
There's running, there's, there's kneeling, there's kicks, punches, and even though I know you're very sore, you've been crushing.
And I think the fans of Doughboys are going to be pleasantly surprised to see that our little, our little spoon man is a bit of an action star.
I've been getting tossed around.
It is funny, though.
Any scene where we've run, my pants have fallen down.
It's almost a funny thing
now.
Where we have clips of him constantly, like one, everyone will be running, and then like a second later, Mitch will be picking up the rear, which is kind of become funny now.
We've almost scripted it.
And he's constantly reaching to pick up his pants because they are the same pants he's worn every season.
And then MJ is like, that was so funny when you did that.
And I was like, yeah.
Big choice.
Really funny choice.
But you were talking about pizza pizza.
Pizza pizza we got on
we got that on for second meal in Hamilton.
Like last Thursday or something.
Yeah, yeah.
And you know what?
It reminded me of old Domino's Mars.
I liked it.
It reminded me of Domino's Before the Chain at Change.
Yes.
And I thought it was pretty.
It's not great pizza.
It's not terrible.
It's not terrible.
But it's just funny to me that.
It's a three-forker.
I would say it's a two-and-a-half forker.
Wow.
That's fair.
I get that.
But
it's funny because it's like, oh, pizza pizza must be the little, you know, but there is little Caesars here.
There is a little Caesars.
Yes.
So my understanding is that Pizza Pizza existed first in Canada.
Little Caesar has the trademark for little, for pizza pizza, which is their slogan in the United States.
So they can't say it in Canada.
Hey, man, that's pretty fucked up.
Yeah.
It was like a time machine to get, like, to try old dominoes.
That's what it felt like to me.
I was like, oh, I'm tasting old dominoes.
I enjoyed it.
But Harvey's, we've gotten it for second meal.
And it's generally like cold.
And like, I don't necessarily just want to eat some burger.
You know what I mean?
I just am like, I've not.
A group order with a whole big tray of burgers is not the ideal one.
And they're picked through, and everyone's like opening them to see what's inside.
I don't, I haven't really fucked with it.
I tried some of the fries at Second Meal, and they were soggy and old, and I thought they were bad.
Well, that's, it's tough to, it's tough with Second Meal
because they're ordering food for like 50 people.
Yeah, more generally, like any sort of catering order, I feel like like a burger place
the quality of chat.
Yeah, so I, this was the first time I had actually had Harvey's, and I see it everywhere.
I'm like, but one thing I've noticed being here, and I don't know if you've noticed this, Mitch, they fucking love burgers here.
Like, there are so many burger chains.
Yeah, like, I think we have a lot in America, obviously, but like, there's this place.
I don't know if you're covering it, maybe I shouldn't mention it, but there are
Burger's Priest.
Yeah, the Burger's Priest.
We actually are not covering, but it was one we talked about.
Yeah, like the Burger's Priest, I also, I believe, is owned by the same parent company as Harvey's.
Really?
There's just a ton of burger places, and they all have poutine, Batty's Patty's.
The uh, that's a that's a that's that's another big one.
Yeah, there's
so they love burgers here, and so this was like the first time I had fully like had Harvey's.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, I had how I had Harvey's one of my first days.
I was, I was dripping a set with Dave, one of the transpo guys, the, the younger guy with the mustache, younger Dave with a mustache.
And he was like, hey, man, you want to get some lunch after this?
I'll get some lunch.
I was like, yeah, sure.
We went to Harvey's together.
Wise, I didn't tell you this.
We went to Harvey's today.
That's right.
I got almost the same thing I got with Dave, except for one change, which was we got to Harvey's.
I had to use an emergency bathroom issue.
That's right.
I went in and used the Harvey's bathroom, a true nightmare in any, every way possible.
Just the one stall that was like a wet floor.
It was just like one of those.
Was it like single bathroom?
Like you were the only one in the bathroom or like you were in a bathroom with a urinal and there was one stall.
It was a locked door that you had to get buzzed into, but it was just a jar.
So I went in and then there was a urinal and a a sink and then a door for the for the toilet so some people were coming in and out so some people were coming in and out and then there was a poor soul that was the nicest man when i came out that was an older man who was waiting there and i was like oh i'm so sorry and he was so nice he was like that's okay it's okay he was being very very nice about it but i had been in there for
10 minutes probably at that point uh i could tell you were in some distress Well, I told you I said, I'm going to shit my pants.
Harvey's.
This was before we ate Harvey's.
Yes.
We had just eaten.
That is an absolute nightmare.
We had already eaten another meal.
Yes.
We'd eaten a full meal, and then we were walking to Harvey's to eat a second meal.
We did a bang-bang, as I say, made famous by Louie.
Louie, thank you.
Thank you.
And Scott Ackerman.
And Ackerman.
Oh, that's right.
That is right.
I should probably thank Ackerman over Louie.
No, no, you thanked Louie first, and everyone heard it.
So we we went to harvey's and i immediately went in there and said i was in there for about 10 minutes you ordered yes and you ordered me um the the big harve there there was a miscommunication it sounds too much like harvey weinstein's name
oh god now that's all i can think about we were eating at harvey's harvey danger that's who we should think about flagship
that's who we should think about more so uh uh i was i was a i was a toilet harvey dent our proud da i love harvey dent love harvey dent the mayor of uh hamilton um
i was a i was a i was a toilet sitter in there like uh
that's really good
what flagpole shit another way you could explain flagpole shitta yeah toilet sit yeah toilet shitta yeah
flagpole shitta climb up a flagpole and then shit
i'm trying to think of the logic because I'm not quite sure what a flagpole sita does.
You heard the song.
I don't know.
And I was paranoid.
I was afraid of people coming into the bathroom the whole time.
But what I wasn't afraid of was you ordering me the wrong thing, which you ended up doing.
Look, here's the thing.
There's a big harve, and then there's also the big Angus Big Harve.
Now, you told me, this was just a miscommunication.
I will take the blame for this.
I thought you said you wanted the Angus one.
Yes.
You said, don't get me the Angus Big Harve.
So I ordered the Big Harve Angus.
Now, I will say,
you did send, you did text me a list of customizations.
Everything right.
I feel bad.
The way, the way Harvey's works is that you have a, you like, it's like a burger bar.
And this, I actually think, is a lot of fun for ordering in.
It's fun, but it does slow things down.
It slows things down.
It slows things down, but they have a pretty good system there.
It's kind of like Subway level of efficiency.
So I'll give them some credit for that.
But they have a burger bar.
There, Jared just walked in.
They have like a, they have like their equivalent of what Jersey Mike's is Mike's Way, which is like you can order it the Harvey's, is it just called Harvey's Way?
It's something like that, or all the way.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And they, and they have a set number of toppings that they put on, and then you can customize it beyond that.
You have a number of customizations.
I got all of those in, but yeah, it was just the wrong patty.
And I didn't know you felt so strongly about the Angus Patty, but you were just like, I hate the Angus.
I want the regular.
So you ordered another burger.
So I went with Dave, the transpo driver, and cool, cool dude, cool as hell.
And this is young Dave this mustache this is young Dave with the mustache oh yeah yeah he's cool because there's older Dave who also is great I love older Dave too um and not he's not old he's just older Dave yeah sure um but young young Dave with the mustache we went there and
uh I was like let me get the big harve I'm gonna go and I was like what do you like Angus or regular and there's a lady behind the car
I won't say where it was maybe wasn't too far from our studio but I don't want to give a location nobody cares no one cares but I was like do you like the Angus one she's like no it tastes like worms that's what she said to me.
Interesting.
Wow.
And I was like, it tastes like worms.
And so I was like, oh.
And then I was eating it.
I was like, I get what she means.
I knew what she meant when she said that.
But I feel like that it got implanted into your brain.
It maybe did a little bit, but the Angus burger is like too thick.
Anytime a fast food restaurant does like an Angus burger, I'm like, give me the thinner patty that it just, it always tastes better to me.
I didn't taste a huge difference.
I got the regular patty and it did taste close to the Angus.
It was like, it was better to me, but there's an Angus burger sitting right over there, which you guys should take bites of.
Well, you also don't have to, but it was just like we had to.
No, they have to.
We brought an untouched extra burger.
And just, it's going to make this whole room reek of burgers.
That's fine.
We reek like burgers, anyways.
Yeah.
It's also definitely cold now.
Take a bite.
They don't want to eat it, Mitch.
I'll take a bite.
Oh, my God.
This is an absolute purpose.
This is an absolute Francis Port Coppola situation.
We might eat the burger.
There's that sacrilege.
No, Mars is like, no, don't microwave it.
Eat the the burger.
No, do not microwave it.
Look, you got to eat the burger.
Yeah, it's a big boy.
No, this is a double patty.
So let me read the descriptions real quick.
The big harve is two flame-grilled beef patties, Swiss and Cheddar-style cheese slices, and your choice of toppings on a toasted gold bun.
This is an interesting thing where.
Because of the Canadian, like they don't call American cheese American cheese.
And I think they maybe have a different law on it even qualifying as being able to be legally called cheese.
Because it's mostly water.
Yeah, because it would be called processed cheddar style cheese a lot of places or just processed cheese.
They're biting it, they're biting it.
This is exciting.
You said you don't like this one.
I don't like this one as much, but I want to see what you guys think.
This is good, Amelia's giving it a thumbs up.
All right, yes.
Wow, so you don't like something, but you're okay that other people like it.
Oh my god,
I just wanted to check in on that.
I just don't get you're a smart person.
So, wait, I was confused by the menu because
the Angus Burger, the Harvey, like it wasn't like super clear to me when I was on Uber Eats, like, what the difference.
I imagine the Angus Burger was thicker, but I'm like, is it a different meat or is it just thicker?
No, it's a different like quality of beef.
And it's, yeah, it's a little bit thicker.
It is the
Angus Burger is 100% Canadian beef.
That is the qualifier they get.
So, I imagine it's just a little bit of a better tier.
I'm going to also take a bite of of this, by the way.
Mitch,
bang bang today.
He's trying to bang bang today.
I want to take a bite of it.
What are you doing?
Get out of here.
You got to come get it.
What did you guys think of it?
It's delicious.
I imagine it's way better when it's hot.
Sure.
Go take a bite of it.
Here's a break.
Honestly, for a cold burger that's been sitting in a bag for like an hour and a half, pretty freaking good.
Hey, there you go.
Here's, I have thoughts.
Sam into the microphone.
One thing I will say is
the quality of ingredients in Canada, and I don't know why.
Oh, God, Mitch is fully.
Which is vital directly into the camera.
I'm not sure if we're.
That is
you may be too close to the lens.
You've lost subscribers.
Do you like it better when it's cold?
It's pretty good.
In a weird way, it reminds me of like an old Burger King burger.
Like in a good way.
I don't know why.
Maybe it's like a flame broil thing.
You can keep that.
Sure.
Yeah.
Mitch, I don't know if this has been your experience, but I feel like anywhere I go, like chain restaurants or just straight-up restaurants, if I get like a piece of chicken,
it just feels like it was less factory processed.
It just the quality of ingredients are high, I would say.
I wouldn't be shy.
I mean, it feels like they have just like a general, generally more functional government or functional society, not without its myriad problems, of course, but like it does feel like they have slightly higher standards for just what you can, what additives you can put into food, food labeling, those sorts of things.
You know what's crazy?
I don't know what to think anymore.
Wow.
Did that cold burger change your opinion?
That was better than my hot burger.
Wow.
That's the burger you walked away from.
I know.
I know.
Order another burger.
I know, Wags.
I know.
Wow.
Damn.
He revisited something.
He revisited something with an open mind.
He's able
to actually get enjoyment from it.
I'm not a hater.
Stephanie thinks I'm a hater, too.
I become a hater.
I think, I think you're crying.
You love this.
I think you're a cynic.
I think you're.
Fuck off.
I think you're better.
Here's the thing.
I think it's been scripted better.
I think you're a cynic.
Oh, fuck off.
Here's the thing.
People that don't know us are just going to be like, Nick's right.
He's a cynic.
They don't know you.
Yeah.
They don't know how fucking cynical are you.
You piece of a cynic.
I think it's okay to be cynical about shit.
Let's be clear.
You cannot like stuff.
It's fine.
But I, but I, but I'm just trying to give you credit.
You want, I'm repeating something I said in the live show.
But like, you want things to be good.
That's where this comes from.
It comes from you like having affection for things, caring about things, and you feeling like, oh, this thing isn't as good as it should be, and it hasn't reached the potential that it has.
And that's where your frustration comes from.
Yeah, this is reasonable.
Specifically.
Yeah, this show sucks.
Yeah, this show sucks so bad.
But that's such a Mitch-centric opinion because you want everything to be good for you.
Things can be good for other people.
People can take things from stuff that you may not like.
I don't like Avatar, but do I like that you guys guys like Avatar?
I love it.
Did you see The Way of Water?
Did you see the way of water?
I haven't seen The Way of Water.
You have or you have not?
I have not.
And that's
you gotta watch it.
It's great.
I yelled at Jono about this.
I'll rent a theater for you to see Way of Water.
I would love that.
I feel pissed that I missed it in 3D or whatever the fuck it is.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
Yeah, I'm not gonna like it, but will I go to it and enjoy the process of going to a movie?
And will I enjoy that you guys like it?
Yes.
I think you're gonna like the Onvi.
I think you'll like Payakon the mighty tolcoon.
Listen, there's going to be stuff in it I like for sure.
Yeah.
I love you.
I love when you guys talk about the whale and the whale.
It's one of my favorite things.
Now.
Now we're moved on for the whale.
We're all Megalopolis now.
Yeah.
Does anyone jerk off after eating a goofball sub in Megalopolis?
Francis Ford Coppola was, I know we're a copal of goose, goof.
I know we're a copal of goofballs.
Yeah, that's right.
We've never, we barely ever got that right.
I got it kind of right kind of once.
Francis Ford Cobla was at my screening for the fun hours.
Yeah.
And then there was like, they did the live aspect and everything like that.
Weiger did an Adam Driver voice last night that sounded a lot like Buffalo Bill.
And who else did it sound like?
You were saying it sounded like.
Atlanta thought I was doing Bane.
Oh, she thought you were doing Bane.
But a pretty good Adam Driver when it all came down to it.
Again, I'm not an impression.
That's what I did.
I did what I could.
Now, I don't want to rein on.
So speaking of things that people like, I didn't mean to cut you off.
Speaking speaking of things that people like that i maybe don't like as much
there's things i like about harvey's but i do have an issue in that that bite was better weirdly and i think it was just that the ratio of burger was better yeah i just don't think i love the burger patty at harvey's i will say this i i didn't taste a huge difference between the angus burger and the original patty what i had of yours um in the restaurant i got the angus burger with cheese which is a flame-grilled angus burger with 100 canadian Canadian beef, processed cheddar-style cheese slice, and you're choosing toppings on a toasted golden bun.
So it is a single as opposed to the big harve, which is a double and has two different kinds of cheeses.
I didn't taste a huge difference, and neither of them was I like, wow, this is great.
And this is the thing: AW Canada, which is up here, one of the best burgers I've ever had on the podcast, and one of my personal favorite chain restaurants we've ever visited.
I'm gonna get the Teen Crunch Burger.
I'm getting the Teen Crunch Burger this week.
And then the,
and, you know, like, like similarly, and this is this is not in Canada, but like Culver's, another place, like I'm going to these burger places, I'm like, oh, this is fucking great.
Dick's driving in Seattle.
I'm like, this is a fucking great fast food burger.
This is terrific.
This is exactly what I want.
I'm going to Harvey's and I'm having the similar sort of experience that I had in Whataburger in Texas, which I'm like, I get that people like this.
I understand that people have affection for it.
I get they have a nostalgia for it.
But like me coming to it as an outsider, honestly, it's maybe what a lot of people who aren't from California feel like the first time they have in-and-out as an adult, where they're kind of like,
this is what the thing that everyone's talking about.
Exactly.
It's interesting.
I wonder if the draw, because I kind of agreed, like, I got an Angus burger, but I sort of customized it a little bit.
And I wonder if the draw is sort of customizing this burger.
I did customize it to the point of, like, I added jalapenos because I'm a bit of a heat seeker.
So
if I did.
And I did a harvest style, whatever that is.
What I did was, do you guys remember the movie
Small Soldiers?
Of course.
Of course.
That, of course, gave way to the birth of the rodeo burger.
Yeah.
Changed everything.
Changed everything.
Became a fixture of the menu.
And I approximated a rodeo burger.
Wow.
Wow.
Because you can get four onion rings on your burger and barbecue sauce.
And so I did that.
And I think their onion ring.
I don't know if you guys tried them.
I think their onion rings are made to be on a burger.
Because when I got them outside of the burger, I was like, these are okay.
A little thin for my taste.
But on the burger, I had a good time.
I haven't had a rodeo burger in a long time.
Yeah, that's a fun way.
That's a fun bit of customization.
I didn't think of going that exotic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
R.I.P.
Phil Hartman, who's in Small Soils.
That's right.
Diced for the onions, for the burger, diced onions.
Yes, I like the diced onions.
But then if you want the big round onions, you got to get onion rings, which wages, when I went back and ordered my burger, I got a little surprise for us.
I got onion rings
and a different poutine.
I had the onion rings, and
there was a moment I was like, is this the low-key MVP of the meal?
I thought they were really good onion rings.
They're not in like my favorite style.
Like I kind of like a little bit thicker with a little bit more of a like bready batter.
Sure.
These on the fucking burger were great.
Yeah.
I really fucking liked that.
But I'm with you.
Like the meat didn't necessarily blow me away.
But I want to know if you guys got any of their chicken products.
We did not get the chicken.
Well, we did.
Well, we did.
We did, in a sense.
We got the, we got the, so this, this comes to like we got combos with poutine.
This is, I'm on the toilet texting wags everything I want on my burger.
Yeah.
So we, and, and, which he did a great job, but the only thing you got wrong was the Angus part.
That was it.
Yeah.
And then you like the Angus one better, weirdly.
Uh, anyway, so we had the regular classic poutine, and we also got the regular buffalo chicken poutine.
Yes.
Um, and then the Mitch, the, the, the, the little surprise that you got was the triple pickle poutine.
So we got these three different poutines.
Uh, regular classic poutine.
I'll just read this menu description in case anyone's unfamiliar with poutine.
Uh, it is a crispy golden golden fries made with 100% Canadian potatoes, topped with vegetarian gravy and cheese curds made with Canadian dairy.
The buffalo chicken poutine adds to those curds and dairy.
I'm sorry, the gravy and curds and fries adds seasoned chicken breast
and buffalo sauce.
Yeah, fried Peter North on top.
Yeah,
it's fried chicken.
And the triple pickle one, which is.
Who's the Canadian version of Peter North?
Peter's Peter Great North?
Yours made sense.
I said Peter
Peter way north.
Hey, that went through my head as well.
The boutine, the trick-aboat pickle poutine, the poutine that went viral.
Now with triple the pickle is our signature premium poutine with two deep-fried pickles, diced pickles, and garlic dill drizzle.
So those are the three different poutines we had.
But before we get into those, the chicken you got.
What chicken did you get?
So I didn't get any poutine because, of course, I don't necessarily love eating cheese.
Yeah, you're not not a cheese guy.
I'm not a cheese guy.
So I didn't get any baffled by that.
But other than that, I looked at the menu and I said, give
me
everything.
So I got everything outside of the poutine.
That was
Snoke saying to Ray.
Yeah.
Just hanging in the air.
How could we forget that?
Yeah, he just wants the location of Luke Skywalker.
So I got Krispy Chicken Sandwich.
I got their chicken nuggets.
Wow.
And I got every dessert they had.
Wow.
And I also got the hot dog, the grilled hot dog.
I didn't see a hot dog.
Okay, now,
guys, the burger to me was the low point.
And I didn't hate it.
Yeah.
But I thought the chicken, that piece of chicken, was so good.
Like, obviously, you guys have had every chicken sandwich from all the chains.
I don't know if it's better than like a Wendy's.
Like, it was all, it was like, to me, it maybe felt a little bit better than Wendy's.
Wow.
My reaction to your order is kind of like the subtitle to Super supersize me too
holy chicken
it is kind of like that kind of is that what the subtitle is it is yeah
but i so the chicken sandwich i thought was pretty good i wonder what you guys think about their buns like so the buns they as they describe as toasted golden buns i i like the buns i thought they were pretty good yeah so like I thought the chicken sandwich was pretty fucking solid.
The quality of the meat was something I was responding to.
And then the like nuggets, look, I'll eat a chicken nugget or a chicken tender anywhere, but they're often not great.
Right.
I thought these were pretty fucking good.
I got some sweet hot stuff.
We should have tried some more chicken instead of chicken.
And then the hot dog.
Now, I don't necessarily like hot dogs are fine.
I don't love eating hot dogs from a fast food place, especially.
Like I need one off a barbecue grill like at a house or something.
That's ideal, yeah.
But These had grill marks.
It's a grilled hot dog.
I was like, oh, that's going to be bullshit.
They had grill marks.
And it was fucking good.
They got a flame grill right there.
This was like a fucking good hot dog from a fast food place.
And I was like really impressed with the quality of, like, it's nothing about the flavors were like too
novel in my opinion.
I bet the poutine had some of that, but I just felt like the quality was like, this is better than.
Most fucking franchises like this in the States, I thought.
Quality-wise.
Like, like, to me, this is like if you go to Jack in the Box and get a chicken sandwich.
This one is so much better.
And I don't know if the price is the same, but I don't know.
Well, that was good.
Well, Jack in the Box is like, and I like Jack in the Box, but it is garbage.
It's low quality.
It is.
The reputation that Arby's has is the reputation that Jack in the Box should have.
But Arby's is actually good.
I think Harvey's is like, correct me if I'm wrong, Mars, is that like open 24 hours in a lot of places?
Okay, maybe I'm...
And W is open 24 hours, but it's open late.
Yeah.
And I'm like, for that, I'm like, oh, it's going to be some low-quality bullshit, but it was good.
No, I think it's, I mean, I think it's pretty decent food.
The burger, I agree, was not like the thing that impressed me, but I thought the poutine was really good.
We liked the poutine quite a bit.
I really like the classic poutine.
Like, who am I to
judge poutine?
But just as in my limited poutine explaining,
as an American,
I'm like, this is a really good execution of the dish.
And I do really like poutine.
Like, when I have good poutine, I'm like, this is delicious.
Harvey's poutine is good.
And Atlanta told us that it's one of the better poutines for a fast food restaurant.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
I like that, and I think that it's pretty good.
I like the classic one better than the variants.
I thought the variants were unkopachka, but I did still the variants were still good.
The buffalo chicken
chicken was we were surprised that it was good.
Yeah, the pickle one I liked.
Okay, did you get a sense of the chicken quality in the buffalo?
Yeah, it was good chicken.
It was good pickle chicken.
Do you remember that old rhyme, give me a nickel, I'll tickle your pickle?
I do remember that.
What disgusting, what disgusting times, sick shit.
The 90s, disgusting times.
A nickel?
At least a dime.
What was that?
I heard kids would say that.
Kids would say that.
Give me a nickel.
Give me a nickel.
I'll tickle your pickle.
Do you know this reference before?
I've heard it.
I don't know if I said it as a kid, but.
And I'm handing out nickels left and right.
Nothing.
Pickle hanging out from under your short.
Okay, where's the next step?
Let's move this thing along.
Anyways, the pickles were good.
The pickles were good.
Yeah.
There were two big pickle spears fried on top of it.
Yes.
And they were pretty tasty.
Did you guys get the fried pickles or did you just have it in the that's what they were?
They were on top of the triple pickle poutine.
Yeah.
Okay, let's get to desserts because
you got all of them.
I got all available ones.
Wow.
Okay, so we got two in restaurant.
We got Frozen Nerds.
Okay.
Sounds like Canadian Doughboys fans.
I liked it.
That was pretty good.
And we also got the shake made with score, which is a salted caramel shake base with score bits.
Well, that's so interesting because I did not get either of those.
Wow.
I got a whole other thing.
Like, okay, here's what I got.
There were these like don't, like, mini donuts or something.
And then there were like two, you know, how like Popeyes has their like little apple pocket thing?
Yeah.
They had an apple pocket similar to Popeyes.
Yeah.
Then they had one that was filled with birthday cake flavor.
Let me guess, apple pocket.
Tim Cook's coming out with it next year.
Oh, God.
I saw him light up as I was saying it.
I go, what's going through Nick's answer?
Wait for the next keynote, I guess.
Wondering about the Apple Pocket dancing around the stage.
People are going to be waiting outside for us.
It's going to be frozen nerds.
So wait, what are frozen nerds?
I don't even, I didn't even see that on the menu.
It's a, it is a blue raspberry slushy.
Yes, go on, Mitch.
I just, when I took a sip of it, I was like, this is exactly, I could have told you what this was without drinking.
So it's like a nerd's candy flavored slushy.
It's nerd's candy and a slushy and a blue raspberry slushy and so you you're second up nerds is your second up think about what that would taste like and you've been and you had it yeah there's like it's yeah you have i feel like even when i was like in elementary school i used to like take nerds and like put them in my orange juice or some probably almost very same experience very similar it's like a slush puppy or whatever yeah which i know that you don't know slush puppies but are slush puppies up here in canada Yeah, slush puppies here.
My experience was I had these doughnuts.
I start biting into them.
I'm like, oh, these aren't so good.
They're kind of a little cold and like, you know, little, I don't know if they're called apple cider donuts, but they're like cinnamony or whatever.
I love apple cider doughnuts.
So I put those down and then I like took a bite of the like birthday cake flavor.
First of all, they look identical, so I didn't know which one was which.
So I bite into one and it's white with sprinkles in the middle.
And
it was pretty good.
And I thought, I hope Nick gets this because I think he likes birthday cake.
I do love birthday flavor.
I didn't see the flavor.
It was surprisingly good and not like
overly sweet and cloying.
Like it was actually pretty good, whatever they do to make that cream in there.
Then I had the apple.
I mean, I finished them.
I said, I'm going to take, first of all, I was going to go to the Doughboy show last night.
Did not end up making the apple.
What happened?
Well, here's what happened.
Here's what happened.
I ended doing a podcast on Zoom and I was like, let me order Harvey's and then I'll go to the Doughboy show.
And I ate so much of this fucking Harvey's that I like texted Mitch.
I was like, I'm sick.
I want to die.
I can't go anywhere.
Like, I wasn't expecting, like, I was like, I'll take a bite of each of these things, but I like ate a decent amount of it.
And
anyone who told me they weren't coming to the show, I said, good choice.
But also, like, your experience of like, you ate so much food and you feel sick.
Yeah.
But then imagine immediately after that, you're contractually obligated to do a live performance.
That's what I'm saying.
I think I texted Mitch.
I feel like shit.
I want to die.
I don't know how you guys do this.
We haven't done it in three months.
I feel great.
Wags feels great.
Me too.
I do feel better.
I mean, does it feel crazy that you guys didn't record for so long and now you're back?
It didn't help that we did a live show immediately into not recording for all three months.
It would have been nice to have like a, like a, you know, one of a couple of studio shows to like get back into a rhythm before we got on stage.
But I thought, you know, I thought we did all right.
All right.
Yeah.
All things considered.
Well, the episode came out last week.
The listeners will be the job.
But yeah, I think I'm surprised you guys didn't get the hot dog.
Like I thought there was a hot dog.
I think you would have been pleasantly surprised at, like, what must feel like an afterthought on the menu was just kind of done kind of well.
Wow.
It had grill marks on it, and it had grill marks, not like the short way, the long way.
Wow.
That's dangerous.
It can fall through the.
That's what I was thinking.
Lose a fucking dog down there.
That's why.
Top dog turned to bottom dog.
Turn to bottom dog.
We should have tried a few different things.
But look, I walked into Harvey's and it was, I was in the danger.
Yeah, yeah.
You didn't have much time to think.
You were just working off instinct at this point.
I'm not, I wasn't sick, but I wasn't well.
Why?
Because I had to use the toilet.
And, and, and I, so I went in not feeling great.
And
I think that there was still some stuff I really enjoyed there, but I don't know if it's been my favorite restaurant so far.
What did you think of the, of the score shit?
Because I thought that was delightful.
I thought it was very good.
I really liked that.
The frozen nerds, I was like, I was not super excited by, but I also generally don't like slushies as much as I like like a smoothie or.
You get brain freeze?
No, I don't.
I'm immune to it.
I get really bad brain freeze.
He doesn't get it, which is kind of crazy.
I don't get it.
Yeah, I guess you're so.
It's like when someone tells you, like, I've never had a headache.
I'm just like, yeah, what?
Yeah.
I've never farted.
All right.
Something's up with you.
That's, I've had, I've had multiple, like, not multiple.
There's been like a couple of people I've met in my life who were like, I've never had a headache before.
And you're like, what are you talking about?
Yeah.
Isn't that insane?
I don't get headaches.
I just don't.
Like, where I was just like, are you a liar?
Like, I don't get, he does, but he does not get brain freeze.
Here's, look,
I know I do the lettuce wrap sometimes.
Yeah.
This is going to be a lettuce rip.
One of the worst things
at Harvey's is that lettuce.
Wow.
I do not like the lettuce.
The lettuce rip.
Sorry, I'm hearing something in a low volume.
Is it?
Is someone is something playing?
I'm listening to a different, different Doughboys episode.
Wow.
You got
wives got distracted by Doughboys.
So, this episode sucks.
There's also an episode coming out tomorrow that we have to write a description for.
I'm trying to listen because there's another episode coming out tomorrow.
I have to listen to it.
I'm just trying to do it.
She doesn't like the podcast.
It's not like she's doing it for fun.
She's like work right now.
I'm trying to multitask.
Multitasking.
If you can hear it, I will do it later.
No, no, no, you can do it.
I think just we were getting some headphone bleed.
We were just able to.
Then it won't work.
I think if it's quieter, it's probably fine.
I had heard it earlier too, but I didn't care.
Okay.
I didn't know what came from you.
This episode is good, and I was sad to put the headphones on.
Wait, that episode is good or is this episode?
No, no, this episode, this current one,
you guys bully all your listeners, even the ones that work for you.
What was that episode?
Strange Brew.
That episode sucks.
That episode sucks.
It's a bad one.
That's how we start the month off.
It's bad.
I literally told Amelia she doesn't have to listen to all of it just enough to write the description.
Did you, have you, have you seen the classic Canadian comedy, Strange Brew?
I'd never seen it before.
I did not know.
And I feel like I was told to watch it when I was maybe going to work on something.
They're like, oh, Strange Brew, something you can watch.
And I just never did.
We watched it for the podcast.
We both, I thought I'd seen it before.
And I was like, I think I've just seen pieces of this.
And then I've seen the Great White North, the bit, the Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas bit.
Yeah.
And
the
last episode we recorded before we was the last episode we did in studio in July before this hiatus, uh, but it is a bizarre movie, but it's like it's kind of wonderfully bizarre because it's just like, oh, these two funny guys just got to make this weird movie where they clearly didn't have a lot of like guardrails.
So we wish there was more of that.
We talk about it, and then we're also probably like, man, I wonder if Biden will be okay coming November.
Like, it's just so dated.
It is very fun to listen to the episodes where it's like, the Celtics just won the championships.
My God.
I got in trouble.
I'm in trouble for that.
I mentioned it maybe one too many times.
No, you can't be in trouble for that.
You're a fucking fan.
Enjoy your win.
It was great.
Scoreshake was really, really yummy.
We should get to our Celtics are about to, the season's about to start again.
Yeah, yeah, which is crazy.
I do want to say, so I had,
what was your stomach reaction?
And I guess you're still live in it right now.
What was your stomach reaction to Harvey's?
Because mine was like...
Initially feeling like shit, but eventually evened out a little bit.
It's not fair almost to Harvey.
I mean, because you ate another meal before it.
Honestly, it's not fair to even Swiss Chalet because we came off of eating 5,000 calories of Tim Hortons yesterday, probably.
And we got drinks last night.
And then we got some drinks last night.
And then came into today to having Swiss chalet for breakfast.
And then
having Harvey's for lunch an hour later.
Yeah.
And I had had Harvey's before, and it is heavy.
I think it is.
I think it's like, if you have poutine, it's going to fuck with you no matter what.
Yeah, and if you get that Angus burger, you feel like you ate a bunch of fucking meat, probably.
This guy ate the whole thing.
I did half of it i couldn't even eat the fucking whole thing no i i finished my burg uh and i also had i got a lot of sepson today but i finished i finished my burg and then i also had probably about three quarters of the or of an order of poutine over the over the three poutines that we shared uh so you know i i i ate a decent amount of food and i had a good amount of i i date my old drank my old pepsi zero is this a pepsi country that is that another thing
might be a pepsi country i mean maybe i mean
we have a lot of coke on set okay oh yeah we do have coke i've definitely seen restaurants are pepsi heavy.
There's a lot of Pepsi.
Yeah, the restaurants have Pepsi a lot of the time.
Mars is.
Didn't you talk about Pepsi last night?
Is this a Pepsi nation?
Do you like Pepsi?
It's pretty split.
I don't think there's spare bowl to either orient.
Okay.
I believe Stephanie from Stephanie Beatrice mentioned on set that she likes Pepsi zero.
She's a Pepsi.
She's talking about Diet Pepsi.
Diet Pepsi, yeah.
She's like, likes Pepsi over Coke.
Yeah.
It was a Pepsi family growing up.
We were a Pepsi family.
I was as well.
My aunt worked at a bottling company in Jamaica.
So we would get sodas delivered to our house, like milk crates and stuff, and glass bottles.
And it was all Pepsi.
I think we talked about this before.
And yeah, this is awesome.
Yeah.
Oh, I did want to say, Mitch, I know that last night when you, or today when you went to Harvey's, you had to take a shit.
Yes.
And you probably had a feeling that is best described by Ray
when she says, something inside me has always been there.
And now it's awake.
And I'm afraid.
I don't know what it is or what to do with it.
And I need help.
Ray had a shit?
Yeah.
I'm surprised you hate this movie.
Ray had it to shit, had to shit so hard.
Just going to Luke.
Luke, help me.
Find me a bathroom.
Find me a single stall where I can take a shit.
So I just, you know, there's things to relate to in the movie that I don't know.
I just, Luke's like, I'm drinking this
green milk straight from the titty.
Yeah.
Keeps me regular.
I like that part.
Maybe that's the only part I like.
I do like the green milk.
Yeah.
So you're admitting you like a party.
Oh, God.
Hey, I'm starting to wear on the gas.
You're so cynical that you like Last Jedi.
That's what they don't know.
That's not me being cynical.
You wanted to kill.
First of all, you wanted to kill J.J.
Abrams the first time you saw a Force Awakening.
That is true.
I didn't have a great image.
I hated Last Jedi the first time you saw it.
Did you like the Force Awakening?
No, I don't know.
What did you not like about it?
I thought that it just felt like a...
junkie remake of yeah it's like they were so obsessed with the past and they needed to let it go
so it does feel like the last jedi is in conversation with they all feel the same, goddamn it.
But of course, Yoda is saying failure is the greatest teacher.
We failed with Force Awakening.
Look, we need to do something new.
Our listeners are dumb.
They're only going to be on your side.
I don't think that's true.
I think a lot of people hate my opinion on this movie, but I don't care.
I just like messing with you.
It's fine that you don't like it.
I wish I could win you over on Goodfellows more.
I know you do not like Goodfellows.
But guess what?
I think Goodfellows is a good movie.
It's just not for me.
Do you?
This is the thing because, because, you know,
and and
you know, having a movie podcast,
it's like there must be an element of people are always saying your opinion is wrong.
Oh, that's just like absolutely.
But at the same time, like, I like shit.
You know, I'm just going to like the stuff I like.
And there are very few movies that I think are really bad, but a lot of times I end up liking them because they're just fun to watch.
Sure.
But yeah, look, our opinion.
You got to see Megalopoulos.
Yeah.
I mean, me and Scott had to do a whole episode where we had to like, we called it clearing the air about killers of the flower moon, where we had to, like, actually explain our opinion on it.
And I don't want to get into it now because fucking Discord will go crazy.
But did you, did you like it or did you?
Again, I think it's a good movie.
I just, I don't care.
I don't care.
I think a lot of people with Scorsese see his movies and they think that he's like promoting the bad guys.
I know he's not.
Yeah.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that people take it that way.
Oh, 100%.
But I, you know, I don't want to get into it.
But like.
Yeah, we don't even get it.
I think, I think Mitch and I
both are like people who love that movie.
And I also say, like, I read the book, so it's like, just as an adaptation, I'm like, this is such an impressive work.
I'll be honest
with distance from talking about the movie on the podcast.
Like, I think it's great.
Like, it's just like ultimately, like, I'm a little frustrated in the storytelling.
But if that's what really happened, what am I supposed to be upset about?
Everyone says I hate everything.
I saw the substance recently.
I like the substance.
I like the substance.
I liked the substance.
Substance was fun.
It's real scary.
Maybe I'm not going to watch it.
No, you want it.
It's not too scary.
It's gross, but it's not too scary.
It's gross.
Yeah.
Is it scary?
Hmm.
Well, that could do scary.
I think I don't like gross, is the thing.
Oh, so that's the thing.
Then it is too gross.
That is very much.
Yeah, it's probably too gross.
It's really gross.
It's gross.
This whole thing.
It's being gross.
I know that we're doing scary movies for Scott Hasn't Seen this Month.
And I've gotten by with three movies we've done so far.
Are
West Craven's New Nightmare, which is not that gross.
Yeah.
I like that movie a lot.
It's a good good movie.
It's pretty fun.
A movie called Lady in White, which is just like a kids' movie that's not very scary.
And then we did Practical Magic.
Oh, sure, yeah.
Which is like another not scary movie.
But we have Zach Kreger coming on for the last week, and he's
tasked with picking the most devious, nasty thing ever.
Wow.
So I'm really afraid.
I won't say what movie we're doing, but it's, it's, I've read about it and I'm not happy.
Can you say I won't bleep it?
Yeah, I'm doing a movie called.
Oh, wow.
Do you know that movie?
Yeah, that's an intense movie.
I don't like that your guys' reaction is so
you're I don't think you're gonna like it.
I don't think you're gonna like it.
I even read the Wikipedia in anticipation to be like, okay, how do you prepare for this?
And I'm not gonna not gonna be happy.
Emma, Amelia, Mars, where do y'all stand on scary and gross?
I'm with Sean.
I can do scary.
I don't mind like thriller.
I hate gore.
Like gore, body horror, absolutely not.
Can't watch it.
It's too visceral.
It feels like it's happening to me.
I have to leave the room.
Yeah.
Like when I saw Clockwork Orange for the first time and they like pried his eyes open, I had to shut it off.
Yeah, that's really cool.
I like couldn't do it.
It was too late.
That's a hard one to watch.
And also,
he scratched his corneaway.
I've literally never seen that movie past that point because I can't.
It's really good.
I can't do it.
Mars, you're wincing while we're talking through that.
So I imagine you're similar.
I'm sorry on everything.
Wow.
I find body horror to be really disturbing, but I like it.
Okay, sure.
But like, I think Mrs.
Doubtfire is a body horror.
Like, I will
interesting interesting that was your review of the substance yeah you liked the substance i liked the substance a lot
again it was it was disgusting and i was crawling in my seat the whole time but and it was kind of like a remake of mrs doubtfire in a way yeah yeah but yeah i don't know it there's a morbid curiosity that that comes with it like have you seen the movie tusk that movie i've heard about it and i'm not watching it for the things i've heard i will say mitch one of of the first things you shot this season, without spoiling it, there's a little bit of body horror involved.
There is.
Wow.
And keep an eye out for that when Twisted Metal Season 2 comes out.
That's it.
It is disgusting.
It's disgusting, but I think it's pretty funny.
Just Mitch taking his shit.
Oh, my God.
And a Harvey's pants are on.
Is this a one-shot of me in a Harvey stall?
Twisted Metal.
That's a weird cold open.
All right, we we got to get to our fork score for a while.
By the way, it looks like an AT-AT
behind.
I thought the exact
look like a fucking add-at.
It's got to be an add-ad, right?
That's got to be a personal.
It's going to be a fucking add-at.
I think it's a fucking at-at.
I think it is an ad-at.
And you can tell that, like, by the straight legs, they haven't updated their technology to be a little bit more, you know, robust, kind of like on Crate.
Oh, my God.
They have monkey-like arms, and that's to, of course, protect against Luke flying around with the damn cable, you know.
Right.
Good thing he disappeared.
Good thing he decides to disappear, moment.
Yeah, yeah.
I guess it's like, I don't know, how do you want to kill one of the most major characters?
I think it's great that he disappears and just leaves the world for Ray to take up the mantle.
Well,
it's one of the most beautiful deaths in Star Wars history.
Oh my fucking God.
And of course, the shot of Han Solo's famous dice as well.
Which disappeared.
I'm a cynical fucker.
fucker i love the famous dice i love the dice because the dice no you don't the dice he doesn't love the dice the dice is a perfect indication that leia knows that it is a forest projection because she leaves the dice behind yes
Okay, Mitch.
So forks score.
Forks score.
So just
it's it's out of zero to five forks as we are as we're working our way through Toronto, Doe Canada.
The Great Black North.
Look, I have been enjoying my time in Canada.
I really, really like the food quality here.
I think the restaurants are really great.
I haven't done a ton of like fast food chains, honestly, outside of what they bring us at work.
And those are hit or miss because they're giant orders.
So I don't often get stuff like this.
I will say that like the Jamaican food I've had out here is fucking awesome.
Even the kind of chainy, Scotty Bons that I described to you is serviceable.
And I was expecting this to be very shitty, and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't.
The burger isn't incredible, but the fact that you can kind of customize it, which is something I like to do when it comes to burgers and shit.
And to get something that is sort of like a rodeo burger, which, to be clear, it's never a rodeo burger unless it has A1 barbecue sauce.
Yeah.
Which they used to sell in the bottle and they don't anymore.
It's kind of a bummer.
But I thought the chicken was really high quality.
The hot dog was kind of a hitter.
And I thought the desserts are pretty good.
Man, I'm right between three and a half and four.
And I think I'm going to go,
with my experience,
I'm going to go four forks.
Four forks.
Wow, I guess four.
You should go next.
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
I really enjoyed Harvey's.
I wish I'd had the hot dog.
And I do wish it had more of the chicken because hearing that that's like a standout thing.
I mean, my understanding, everything I've heard about the Harvey's is is like, oh, yeah, burgers, burgers, poutine.
That's what this place does.
They do a great poutine, fast-food poutine.
And, you know, that the burgers are like legit.
I just am comparing this in my mind and my mouth to AW Canada, and perhaps that's unfair.
But I'm just like, but hey, think about it: a big glass mug, cold with a root beer in there.
You know, get that at Harvey's.
That's missing.
An uncle burger, you know, which is the burger family.
I just, I just, I just like what am canada is doing more as a burger shop and and the burger in particular was not a was not a highlight here even though i thought it was good i thought the boutine was great the burger was good uh
but before you go on do you judge burger king on what mcdonald's is doing like in the states to some degree if i'm talking about a fork score if i'm talking about something that's going to like you know hey this is this is going to gauge this restaurant relative to other restaurants but yes ultimately i am like what is this how is this place achieved what it is trying to do ultimately yes these chains are all competing against themselves.
But still, this is like a burger restaurant.
The burger should be the thing, right?
Like the burger should be front and center.
And I don't quite feel that's the case with Harvey's.
I did still like it.
I did still enjoy it.
But we're talking about four forks as a threshold for the Golden Plate Club.
I don't know if I'm there with Harvey's based off of this experience.
So I think I'm going to go three and a half forks, which was your low end.
Wow.
People might get mad at me for this.
I genuinely loved Tim Hortons.
People were mad at me for it.
Yeah.
I don't think Harvey's is as good as Tim Hortons, for real.
Wow.
Do you agree with that, Mitt?
Do you agree with that, Nick?
I think this is better.
I think it's better than Tim Hortons.
I mean, I gave it a better fork score.
I gave Tim Hortons two and a half forks.
I was being nice to it,
but three and a half for Harvey's.
I think the Poutine is very good.
I think they do some.
I think that that,
I think the customization bar slows things down quite a bit,
which is, which is, oh, I like that you can do it.
To be fair, they have the same thing at Five Guys in the States.
They have the same, and I don't know if they have Five Guys up here at all, but it's like they have the same thing at Five Guys,
but the system there is you order your burger with everything you want.
They don't customize it as you go.
So when you, so it's delivered in a more efficient manner.
Five Guys burgers is a better quality burger.
I don't even like that.
Definitely a better burger.
Definitely a better burger.
Yeah.
By the way, I'm about to pull an opening of Twisted Metal season two.
I'm about to have a one-shot of me on the toilet.
Give me your fork score.
I'll take the camera into the bathroom with me.
Don't do that.
Give me your fork score when we can take a break.
I got to give that lettuce rip.
I got to give the lettuce rip.
I didn't talk about it too much.
The lettuce was not good.
The veggies were not good.
The veggies weren't great.
Yeah.
The veggies weren't great.
And the lettuce just had like this taste of like wet lettuce taste.
It was like a little like shredded lettuce.
Well, I think that comes from the bar like setup quality.
It's like these things are all just sort of sitting in trays all day.
And I'm sure that maybe, you know what?
I'm sure it varies.
I'm sure there's there's sometimes when it's great, sometimes it's not so great.
I don't hate it.
I thought that there was a lot of good stuff there.
I think it's, I think it's, I think it's decent, but I'm, I'm going to the handholding club with you.
I'm going three and a half forks wise.
Wow, three and a half forks for Harvey's.
It's a good outing.
Yeah.
But I was maybe a short gold play club.
Like, it's a little bit better for me.
I didn't have the in-store experience, so I didn't experience the slowdown.
It sounds like that you got some better items than I did.
And some of the, I got some items that I thought were pretty good.
I'd be interested to hear if you guys were able to try them, but three and a half seems fair.
It was my second time there.
I got almost the same exact order, and I went, you know, because of the worm, it tastes like worms.
Like the woman warned me, I didn't do the Angus this time.
But
in my mind, the burger is the star of the show there.
It's supposed to be.
And it's just, it's okay.
It's good.
It's a good burger.
Mars, what's the Toronto's perspective on Harvey's?
I love Harvey's so much.
I think it's a great burger, even like over an hour old.
I love, you could customize it.
I find that the pickles are incredible.
My digital is I always ask for pickles on the side because then you just get a free snack on the side.
That's fine.
But I love Harvey's and I think it's beloved across the city.
What fork rating are we talking about here?
Out of five.
I would give it a four.
Four, okay.
We're in the same
sword.
I seem to be more in touch with the actual opinion of the people.
But I think your guys' score is fair.
There's some stuff I think you guys still need to try.
And look, I got a month.
You got a month.
You got some time.
So maybe I'll get to it.
You got a week.
I got a little bit of time.
I'll get a hot dog.
I'll get a hot dog.
That's all you need to get.
You'll take a shit.
We'll take a break.
We'll be back with 4.
All right, we're back.
Mitch, feeling better.
Cleaned out, Wag.
Jesus.
Christ.
I did a 10-1, not a 10-2
or a 10-3, like we were talking about.
Um, I, I, this is show biz lingo when you have to
for you can figure out what
you're 10-2, and you can figure out what three is.
Yeah, it's jerking off,
it's jerking off.
We'll just tell you, it's jerking off.
Mitch is on another 10-3 bird.
Um, I, I took
to wait like 12 seconds to get the shot.
I took antibiotics, I was sick, And I still am coughing.
In the live show, I was coughing.
I took antibiotics, which sucks being sick during filming.
Yes.
But there was this, and they pump, there's like
so much.
And I think I'm convinced that's what got you sick in the first place.
I think it may be that got me sick in the first place.
I was like crawling through smoke at one point.
And then a character was giving a monologue.
And I was like gripping my chair, trying not to cough.
And I was coughing during it.
And I was there watching, knowing, oh, Mitch is going to be so annoying about this afterwards, even though it's not a big deal at all.
He was totally fine.
He's gotten many attacks of me being like, I fucked up.
I'm sorry.
It's happened a lot.
No, Mitch has been crushing it.
And he, yeah, I'm self-conscious.
You're doing great, I'm sure.
Thank you, Wages.
Hey, we got a bunch of chips and we're going to eat them all.
It's another edition of Chips and Hail Rescue Rangers.
There's no bag too big, no bag too small.
When you've got chips, just call.
Chips, chips, chips and hail.
Rescue Rangers, chip, chit-chip-chips, inhale.
Every flavor, you know, it never fails.
Once we're involved, somehow these chips will eat them all.
Chip-chip-chips, chips, inhale.
Okay, so
why do you trail off there at the end?
What are you talking about?
At the end of the song, you kind of like trailed off a little bit.
No, no, we got to get a business here.
You know, it's good.
What do you feel good is that that sucks?
So there's
that sucks in the States and it sucks up here.
We get some Lays all dressed.
There's two different types of all-dressed in there.
There's Ruffles All Dressed and Lays All Dressed.
And then there is ketchup chips in there.
All right.
So let's start with the okay, Lay's ketchup, and then we'll do that.
And then those other ones are sour cream and bacon.
We just thought that sounded insane.
Wags, I actually think you can eat them because if you read the ingredients list, bacon is not listed.
Yeah, I'm guessing those will be fine.
I think there's probably just a bacon flavor, but thank you for checking there.
So yes, we've got these all-dressed ruffles, these all-dressed lays.
I haven't had actually, I've had the all-dressed, i think the ruffles only the ruffles are the the the those are the big ones yeah i've had these i haven't had the lays i always don't remember and we've got the ketchup and we've got the um the ruffles what what should we do i think we do all dressed for life yeah okay let's do all
people people are like when you know when we're like oh the podcast makes us unhealthy you're thriving you're you're you're you're in the best shape you've been in the last few months i have yeah no no yeah bake i haven't even i've lost weight even though you probably can't tell but i probably i've lost i walk a lot more out here i'm not eating fast food all the time people saw the live live show and they were like, except for one guy, was like, he's wearing a loose shirt.
I wasn't wearing a loose shirt.
Look, very many positive comments, which were very nice.
I was going to say, I don't ever tell you to go read the Reddit, but there was a whole thread last night in the Reddit that was like, Slim King.
And
it shows that the podcast is bad for us.
Yeah, it's bad for us.
Absolutely.
Do you guys go, do you do a six months on, six months off scenario where you double up on recording and just record for the whole year and then have a healthy six months?
You're hitting hitting on something
we're not going to do that don't worry but you're there's there might be there things might change there's no no changes
on two weeks off wow we might be ending the podcast
i i gotta say i do like your guys pitch of just doing stuff yeah just doing just doing items i think items is good how's this it's time for the podcast to end
damn it mitch
i just got chilly
okay Okay, let's start with these lays ketchup.
And here's the thing.
I think we should honestly, here's what I'm going to do.
I'll try not to crinkle this up too much with the microphone.
I've had ketchup chips, inlays, inlays, ketchup chips.
I'm going to say this.
Flock.
What?
I don't know.
I just thought something flew out as I opened this up.
You're fine.
It's all good.
Was it a bug?
It looked like shrapnel.
Okay, I'm going to try it.
I've opened these sour cream and bacon chips.
I will try one as we talk about.
I like it.
Okay, great.
I'm going to have some of this ketchup too.
The ketchup chips, I've come around on ketchup chips.
I like them.
And you know what?
They're not too sweet.
They haven't eaten.
Mars bringing us napkins.
The Lay's ketchup have a nice vinegar taste to them.
Yeah, I do like that aspect of it.
Here, Hammy Sutton.
Thank you.
Distem, while we're having these, we've talked about your food preferences in the past.
I would hear this as something of a picky eater, yeah.
Picky bitch, yeah.
We tried to have you on the Bulls tournament.
You said you don't eat bulls.
I don't fuck with you.
We tried to have you on the subs tournament.
You said you don't fuck with subs.
Obviously, you don't eat cheese this is a thing we've talked about are
any of those are there any other no-go's
the one that the one that weird us out the most was i don't with subs i don't with subs very disorienting yeah um generally too wet of a food for me
um are there any other no-go's um
you know i'm sure there are i think there's There's stuff that I only like in certain preparations, like mushrooms is one
where like certain things with mushrooms, I'm not really going to love.
I don't love mushrooms per se.
There are some things that I do like, like, honestly, I used to really like when someone would make like a big portobello, like, as a burger or something.
Yeah, that's just, can I tell you this?
You need to eat like six to seven ketchup chips.
Okay, I only
have to eat a few ketchup chips
in order to get the flavor because it changes over to just a vinegar taste instead of.
Do you get what I'm saying?
No, the sweetness kind of falls away a little bit the more you have of them, but I do like ketchup chips, not as much as the all-dressed generally, but these are on set every day, and I generally do not get them.
Because I thought, I don't know, is the idea of like dried ketchup, just the smell of that is not good.
I had a friend in elementary, in middle school who, like, for Halloween, didn't have blood, so he just doused his shirt in ketchup.
Oh, God.
And he smelled like shit so hard.
Yeah, that's nasty.
I felt really bad for him.
But
these are not as bad as I thought they would be.
They're almost more like tomato chips.
I mean,
they're ketchup chips.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
I'm going to pass these over to the producer's desk.
I shouldn't try to change them.
They are.
You keep spinning your mic.
The sweetness is not.
I didn't expect the sweetness.
I don't know if I love the sweetness, but it's making it more palatable than I thought.
Yeah.
And the sweetness, it tastes the vinegar is like the number one.
Mars, you've had these.
Jesus Christ.
Mars, you've had ketchup chips before.
What are your thoughts on ketchup chips?
I like them.
Honestly, you guys picked a really good selection.
If I was at like a Canadian house party, this is like exactly what the setup would be.
Really?
Hell yeah.
Good chip.
Can you get us into a couple Canadian house parties?
I don't remember.
Oh, God.
Immediately did it.
Those aren't bad.
Lays I sometimes find are a little too jagged.
Like they really cut the inside of my mouth a little bit.
Yeah.
But those aren't bad.
Sharp chips.
They're always going to watch out for sharp chips.
It is wild how much this chip, when you, the first one you eat, tastes like you just put a spoonful of ketchup in your mouth.
And then it goes away.
But it goes away.
It goes away.
Now, these bacon, sour cream, and bacon chips, these are okay.
Do you know what I wish they were?
Yeah.
And I don't know if they have this.
Is there a like maple syrupy bacon chip out there?
Oh, that would be fun.
Because this almost at first feels like there's a little syrup or something on it, but I'm like, oh, then I'm missing it.
Here's what I don't like about these.
Look, I told you, the antibiotics have done a number on my stomach, and this is not going to help.
Yeah.
But I'm not going to eat a lot of of these because
I don't like smoke.
I think smoke is such an overpowering like liquid smoke?
Liquid smoke.
And
I went to Mexico City.
I went to a place called Pujol.
Pujol.
And I had one of the best meals in my life.
And it came with a Mezcal tasting.
And I was like, oh, I understand how sipping this Mezcal is good.
But if Mezcal is in a cocktail, were you here when I said this?
No, I don't know.
Mezcal, I said, I said this while I was in Canada, but Mezcal in a cocktail is just so overpowering.
The smokiness of the Mezcal just overtakes a cocktail, and I don't like it.
I'm with you.
I like tequila better than Mezcal.
So much better.
I like the smokiness.
Mali really likes the Mezcal, likes the smokiness.
I think it's just an individual thing.
But I do like it.
I like Mezcal on the rocks or something.
When you mix it into a cocktail, I do mostly taste Mezcal.
So I agree with that.
Tequila is my second favorite booze.
And you're probably right.
This doesn't have like bacon flavor.
It really is just probably smoke.
Because I checked the ingredients to see if Wax could eat them, and we looked at them earlier.
There's no bacon in it.
Wait, let me look at the ingredients real quick.
I'm sorry.
Those are just okay, I will say.
Here's why Mitch doesn't like them.
They don't have smoke flavor.
They have snoke flavor.
Oh, my God.
That makes so much sense.
What is snoke?
I also don't even know if those are a Canadian flavor.
I just had never seen them before.
Yeah, I don't see these.
We don't have these in the States.
Amars, is this a Canadian flavor?
Do you know at all?
I don't know.
To me, that's just a regular flavor.
this is just a regular flavor yeah this might be like a default canadian flavor
let them try okay i'll pass these over all right we've got the the snoke thing was good but let them try
the snoke thing was worth it yeah of course it was
all right let's try these all dressed all dressed i've been having the lays all dressed i've had some of these lays all dressed i think the issue here is regardless if the seasoning is going to be the same as the ruffles, the fucking ruffles texture is just so much better than lays.
That's the thing.
That's the key point.
So, what do we got here?
Ruffles has ridges, and that makes a huge difference.
We got a bottle of vinegar here.
I'm just seeing what's on the outside of the back.
Yeah, I want to get it.
So, this is a red pepper and a garlic.
Is that what we got?
I love all-dressed flavors.
All-dressed is so good.
Yeah, it's a little intense sometimes when you get a two-coated chip, you know, but other like most of the time, it's a it's a great flavor.
Uh-oh.
But
I'm not sure what the actual definition of it is.
So, I'm bringing this up right now.
I was gonna say the internet claims that the flavor is described as a mix of ketchup, barbecue sauce, sour cream, onion, and salt and vinegar.
Interesting.
Interesting.
I got to tell you, all the flavors.
It's kind of all of them.
That's another rough.
That's describes it anyway.
Ruff Wools All Dressed are the
one, but I got to tell you, I love lay salt and vinegar chips.
And
these are a lot fun.
Yeah.
Did you talk about, Mitch, did you talk about your CNE experience in the live show?
We talked about it for a second, but I didn't talk about...
I had the unicorn corn.
That's what we talked about mostly.
There was a chicken tender there that was an all-dressed coated chicken tender.
That was like ruffles chips coating the tender.
And
it was okay.
It was okay.
But it wasn't as good as the fruity pebbles coated chicken tender.
And you know what else is good?
The cocoa pebbles.
They were like kind of surprisingly good.
The sweetness like really worked.
Those sound like those would be revolting to me.
I'm surprised.
But in a way that kind of like it like adds up to just like syrupy flavor.
It kind of was good.
You know what's so good?
Eva's chimney cones.
Eva's chimney cones.
Now, what he's describing, I've told him, is a shark tank invention.
It is a like fluffy baked pastry in the shape of a cone that they like served ice cream in or something.
You're going to get one before you go.
You'll love it.
I will.
Yeah, I will.
You're going to love it.
I got to say
they both taste fine, but they're just the ruffles ridges, man.
I can't.
I don't know if you guys like the baked ruffles.
I like them okay.
I think they're better than the full body ruffles.
I would not go that far.
You know what?
I thought the lays were winning me over, and then you hit a ruffle.
I mean, I like
so much better on the ruffles.
Lays, salt, and vinegar, and potato chips are my favorite, like one of my favorite chips.
But these are these ruffle ones are good.
I might have said this on my last appearance, but my favorite chip is baked ruffles, sour cream, and cheddar.
Baked.
Even though I'm not a huge cheese guy, it's just mostly salt.
I don't think so.
Wow, there's sort of a like force-level power struggle between Mitch and Weiger over these ruffles.
You want to give them, you want to give me a hand him over.
The ruffles bag is floating in between you guys as you both pull.
Ruffles,
I'll rank for you.
Yeah.
Ruffles number one.
Number two, Lay's all dressed.
Number three
is the ketchup chips.
And number four is the sour cream bullshit.
That's actually the only one that gets a whack from me.
Mitch.
Snack, all three.
I agree with you on the ordering, but all four are snacks.
Wow.
I didn't necessarily love the bacon one.
I agree with Mitch on that.
I feel like if I had too many of those, I would just get like a bad feeling.
Just like too much smoke.
Too much smoke.
But
never have to.
I was surprised that I liked the ketchup chips as much as I did.
I do think they're not as good as either all dress, but
I'd say, yeah, I would say they're all snacks, and I would say the
bacon chips are a whack.
It's interesting.
Soft whack.
It's interesting that you kind of.
And would you agree with that ranking?
Or what's your yeah, yeah, I agree.
It's interesting because with Snoke, it was like.
The first one, it was like maybe too much Snoke in the sense that Snoke was too big.
So big.
He's so big.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then
the third one, you know, Rise of Skywalker is maybe too little snoke and then snoke is like barely in it and he's like like malformed like you know failed clones of of palpatine who just somehow is back yeah yeah somehow has returned but in the the first one it's like
snoke's just kind of big he's like kind of like the right amount of snoke i kind of agree the last jedi so at first you see like like hux is like oh we got big snoke again right but then when you see snoke he's just a guy in a robe yeah it's it's it's about the power structures and what you believe they are as opposed to like what they really are you say hucks like i know who that is
you know domino gleason oh that's who it was all right who in the third one is just says he's the spy this guy who
this guy who is giving this fascist like diatribe like to like to a whole uh you know army of shock troops two movies ago is now all of a sudden like i'm the spy for no reason yeah but when you think about what happens in american politics yeah you know people that are like scaramucci or whatever that fucking guy's name is, he's working for Trump.
And then as soon as he turns on him, he's like, fuck Trump.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So I think there's something sort of good about it.
You're right.
You know what?
I think I like that one better than the last show.
It's almost like the trilogy doesn't work almost.
Yeah, almost trilogy doesn't work.
Almost like that.
How are we liking the all-dressed over at the producer's desk?
We love it.
They're so good.
They're so good.
Mars, is that your, like, as a Canadian, is that your favorite of the chip varietals, the flavors?
Yeah, i'd say aside from like the lays sort of original all-dress is probably like second favorite you wait you like lays original just like regular lays yeah yeah for like a party plastic why not do you like salt and vinegar oh i love it come on come on it's great yeah i hate
i mean doritos are the the best chip just like a restaurant with all your feedback let's open the feedback today's email i love doritos well imagine an all-dress dorito That's a great idea.
Distinguished.
That's a great idea.
That's really good.
Corn.
Oh, that'd be good.
That's one of the best things anyone's ever said on the podcast.
It's such a great idea.
In In fact, we now legally own that idea.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to mail it to ourselves, put it under our bed.
Just like a restaurant buyer feedback, let's talk about the feedback.
Today's email is from Andy C.
Andy writes.
Andy Circus?
Smoke?
It might be.
I mean, Andy Circus would be Andy S.
Yeah, that's true.
But maybe he abbreviates it MB.
He might be like Circus.
He's like,
people would be thinking of Circus like Swingling Brothers.
Right.
They'll know it's me.
We all know poutine is gravy and cheese curds.
What other toppings are on your dream poutine?
Now, Distin, because you don't like cheese, I thought this was an interesting question for you in terms of.
Wait, what is the question?
Poutine is gravy and cheese curds, but craft your dream poutine.
So let's say that's not how it is, or let's say, let's say we change some core components, or let's say we add to these components.
You don't love the cheese.
Okay, I'll tell you what I would add.
Would you keep the gravy?
What would you put on there?
I would keep the gravy.
Okay.
And I would add
stuffing.
That's interesting.
And Thanksgiving poutine is.
It's a little, like, there's a little starchy starch going on.
Yeah.
But if you can get a stuffing that's almost like sort of a little more soaked and a little wetter, that could be really good.
Maybe it's fun.
Boom.
Throw a little cranberry sauce in there.
You know what that has me thinking?
You keep the gravy.
Yeah.
You keep the fries.
You keep the gravy.
Yeah.
A little scoop of mashed potatoes.
Ooh.
Throw on some scallions.
They're stealing his idea.
Oh, that's a totally different idea.
Throwing some scallions, throw throwing some green onions, and a little scoop of sour cream.
You got kind of like a loaded baked potato poutine.
Sour cream was what I was thinking.
Oh, so that's a good idea.
Andy Circus played Caesar, right?
He sure did.
So maybe the C stands for Caesar.
So like Andy Caesar.
Andy Caesar.
Yeah, yeah.
Andy Caesar.
But you know, Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up.
That's true.
And I don't know anything about it.
And I don't know.
Except that it's in October.
Yeah, it is in the middle of October.
So I do think there should be like a Canadian Thanksgiving poutine where you can kind of get all of it.
turkey stuffing yeah that's fine that'd be good that's pretty good yeah I was also gonna just gonna say just back to the Caesar thing um of course uh Adam Driver in uh megalopolis is Caesar Catalina it could also be him Caesar Catalina Caesar Catalina Caesar Catalina and WoW Platinum That's really good.
I might have to watch this movie.
You gotta watch it.
You gotta see it.
You gotta watch this movie.
Oh, man.
What's his, wait, what's Dustin Hoffman's character's name?
I gotta look it up.
It's really good.
Let's just say that there's a scene where Jon Voigt has a boner.
Oh, yeah.
I've been hearing a lot of boner talk around.
It's not just him having a boner.
It says, he says, what do you think about my boner?
What is this movie even fucking about?
Like, the little I know about the movie, everything I hear about it is so funny.
All the clips I see look so impossibly crazy.
John Voigt, who looks as old as he is in the movie.
He's like, he's like, he is over.
He's like 83, isn't he?
Hamilton Crassus III is his character.
He is playing like a he's playing like a maester paisel though like from from game of thrones like kind of like he is kind of like oh yes he's like super powerful but also like he's lost a step you know and then wow platinum aubrey pause character is kind of using him to her own ends
domboy is 85
soon to be 86 and he
and he's talking he said take a look at my boner
he is yeah one of the you know what
one of the nicest guys i ever met
i met him on the sunny lot He was so nice to me.
It was so crazy.
I was saying this
that there was, I've met a bunch of like, I've met like a Trump super team of people.
I've met Mark Wahlberg,
John Voigt, and Charles in charge.
What's his name?
Tony Danza.
No, not Tony.
No, no, no.
Oh, yes.
Oh, the other guy who's even fucking worse online.
Yeah, the Scott Bayo.
Scott Bayo.
Yeah.
Is it Scott Bayo?
Scott Bayo.
Yeah, Scott Bayo.
They're all really nice.
All of them were so nice to me.
Wow.
I mean, I've talked about this on the podcast before, but
when I worked at Funny or Die, I worked with there was a celebrity who came in and was like, hey, I love Downton Abbey.
I'd love to do a Downton Abbey video.
And so me and Andy Maxwell over there, who was just amazing at the amazing visual sense, amazing visual effects side of things and just a great, great dude to work with,
we made a video with him.
with the celebrity where we put we spliced him into a bunch of downtown abbey footage.
And,
you know, the thing is the way it had to be shot, we had to do it like a long day that started at 7 a.m.
on a Saturday.
And what we heard from his assistants was like, he's not like a morning guy.
He's not going to love this.
And we were like, ready for, oh boy, this guy might be a D or whatever.
I got there at 6:55 a.m.
He was already there, already in the makeup chair, knew all of his lines, like completely off book for this thing, just totally locked in, totally game, like, like down to do whatever,
like having fun,
super nice.
And then afterwards, sent us like a, you know, a whole bunch of
like
high-end spirits as a thank you gift.
Wow.
And I just was talking about what a great guy this was.
That was Sean Diddy Combs.
Oh, my God.
I don't have, we don't have the time for me to tell my Diddy story, but I'll get into it very quickly.
He did a show at UCB like over a decade ago with Chris Gethard.
And there was this sort of like myth, this like myth kind of came up after the show.
Yeah.
Where apparently like his, his like handlers called the Gethard crew and were like, Here's the stuff he's going to need in the back
in the back.
And
two things, and I'll say, I'll say I'm out of order, but the second thing was he
like equipment messes up around him, like video equipment messes up around him.
And we were like, What are you talking about?
And then, during the show, a DVD that we had tested, he's standing in front of the DVD player in the old UCB Chelsea tech booth, and the DVD is off by like two minutes.
The sound is off by two minutes.
Then, after the show, we watched it, and it was not off.
And we have
devils.
But we were like,
no, no, no.
At the time, we were like, whoa, Diddy's magic.
Now I think he must have some sort of video like disrupting equipment at him at all times.
Right, yeah, that makes sense.
And then the other part that he was told was like, hey, so just so you guys know, if Diddy asks you guys to come party with him, sometimes his parties go on for like days and days, and he doesn't necessarily stop those parties.
And like, you should be able to call it on your own.
Like, he doesn't sleep for days on end, so you need to end the party.
Some people get into some really bad situations, and we were like, Whoa, Diddy really likes to party.
And now we're finding out this was maybe one of these fucking freak fests.
Yeah, you know what?
And but what's funny is he walked into the UCB and looked around and was like, I ain't invited any of these people.
Nobody got invited to party.
But I do think about it.
I'm like, wow, this is like 2000, God, I don't remember, like 12 or 13.
And that was being said.
You know what I heard?
He went into UCB and he saw a poster for freak dance, and then he was like, Freak dance.
Okay, all right.
What about
your little idea?
That's what I heard.
It's it's people are hearing that for sure.
Diddy looks around, like, I'm gonna invite anyone except for you, Qualik.
Go into the freak dance.
All right, I got my freak on.
I love a freak on.
Uh, Dustin Hoffman's character in Megalopolis is Nush Berman.
Dustin Hoffman, also 85.
Yeah.
yeah uh also cancelled i think also cancelled yes seems oh see but the the it didn't seem as old voight seems old in the movie it was did you have a did you have a poutine plus up mitch uh i said sour cream oh yeah sour cream yeah mars the wit that like how where do you stand on poutine i'm sorry to keep asking you for all these canadian questions oh man i actually just went to a poutine eating contest in toronto they had like the world poutine eating contest and they were serving you sponsored by smokes poutineerie and they served free poutine there man i did not like smokes Poutine at all.
I used to have a place I went to that had, instead of beef gravy, had chicken gravy.
He was very good.
He was called Lou Dogs.
It's now closed.
That was my favorite poutine, but I haven't been able to find a replacement since.
Sublime's Dog.
Same name.
Same name.
Lou Dog.
Lou Dog inside the van.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, that was just confusing.
Do you have like a name?
Lou Dog is the name of Sublime's Dog.
I know.
I fucking know that.
He used to put his thumb in its ass.
Yeah, I know.
I know all that.
But
I didn't know that part.
We have had smokes on the podcast.
We reviewed smokes and sassy.
We liked it.
We liked smokes.
They were lovely to us.
Where do you stand on if you if you could plus up a boutine or you could add a different component?
Or have you had a poutine in your life where you're like, oh, this is poutine plus this?
And
I have a plus up now.
I would love some like pulled pork and maybe like green onions on it.
Just to, yeah, get more sauce involved because it's, it's the squeaky cheese.
It's just not really perfect.
What are like a like a Korean sort of pulled
poutine hybrid?
I'm sure they have that.
They do offer that at Smokes on the Danforth now.
I haven't tried it yet.
Wow.
I got my plus up.
I know.
We'll ask you guys as well, but I got a plus up.
Frings.
Fries and onion rings.
That's fun.
Poutine, fries, and onion rings.
That's fun.
That's kind of a no-brainer.
Why don't they do it?
They have frings at Harvey's.
I did get that.
I got fries and onions.
Yeah, we forgot to talk about frings.
We fucked up.
Who cares about frings?
No, we fucked.
Because I think they trademarked frings.
We should have gotten some fucking frings.
Does it change your score?
No.
Okay, then fuck it.
Who cares?
Frings are fucking.
I'll get the hot dog and I'll get some frings.
Gus Fring.
Yeah, Gus.
I'll get some Gus Frings.
Also, Amelia.
Look, Gin Carlos Mosito is in Megalopolis.
And his name is.
His character's name is...
Oh, he's Mayor Cicero, of course.
Okay, that's normal.
Yeah.
Of New Rome City.
Of New Rome City.
While we're on the topic of poutine, by the way, the world record of poutine eating is held by Joy Chestnut, and it's 28 pounds of poutine in 10 minutes.
That's too much.
28 pounds of poutine in 10 minutes.
28 pounds of anything.
That's too much.
It's fucked up.
Weighing your, like, talking about how much food you ate by weight just feels inherently
dangerous.
Yes.
Canada needs to reclaim that title from
Chestnut.
Guess what?
You're not going to take it, Canada.
The USA has got it on fucking lock.
You guys are screwed.
They're not going to, no one can beat Chestnut.
That's true.
Yeah.
He's a machine.
All right.
Emma, Amelia, where do you stand?
Where do y'all stand on poutine?
And do you have anything you would like to see on a poutine?
Or have you had a good poutine with
an add-on?
I don't think I've had enough poutine to be like, this is my favorite.
I liked the poutine we had today at Swiss chelet.
Sorry, everybody.
That's next week.
But I think I like the idea of like a pulled pork.
It feels like it would go really well.
Or like...
I'm not a huge turkey fan, but because of the gravy, I feel like pulled chicken or something like that in there would be really good.
Like just some shredded chicken up in there.
Because why not?
I don't
I would have to say egg yolk, Tabasco, and scallions.
Ooh, that's interesting.
That's good.
That sounds like you've made it before.
No, I have poutine for the first time today.
Wow,
wow.
What is a commonality though?
We're we keep hearing scallions.
Yeah, there's some green onions on there.
A little fresh onions.
Why not?
Why not?
Gosh, you guys should have done fucking scallions in vegetable month.
You guys love it.
We don't want to talk about it.
We cover them on the onion episode.
We touched on them.
We touched on them, but it's a whole lot.
Not enough.
We'll bring it back.
