This is a HeadGum Podcast. Want to watch this episode? Check it out on our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash doughboysmedia. In 2001, Nippon TV premiered Mane No Tora on Japanese television. The high concept format, roughly translated as money tigers, involved a slate of wealthy investors interrogating aspiring entrepreneurs to decide if their business plans were worthy of venture capital. Audiences connected with the rags to riches narratives paired with the reality show meanness

afforded tycoons and the brand competition show itself became a brand worldwide. In Slovakia, the format was renamed The Lion Pit, in France as Who Wants to Be My Business Partner, in the US as Shark Tank, and in the UK and Canada as Dragon's Den. And one of the dragons on Dragon's Den, not Kevin O'Leary or Robert Herkovich, who are panelists on both the American and Canadian formats, is Jim TreLiving, the owner of a pizza chain founded in 1964 in Edmonton, Alberta, by Gus Aguillardis. When the Greek-Canadian Aguillardis' first and second choices for a trademark, Acropolis Pizza and Parthenon Pizza, were both unavailable, he defaulted to a third choice,

naming his pizzeria for an American city he'd never resided in, in a brazen act of mass-hole stolen valor. Tre Living, a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer, or Mountie, became an early franchise owner of the faux Bowtown Slice Shop, and in 1983, having left the RCMP to focus on a different P, pizza, he and a business partner purchased the concept wholesale. Their stewardship saw the chain grow to a billion dollar brand with nearly 400 locations and today it trails only Pizza Pizza, no relation to the American Little Caesars which uses pizza pizza as its slogan, as the largest homegrown Canadian pizza chain.

In Canada, it's a crime to misrepresent yourself as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Down here in the States, however, it's just good clean fun. After all, hashtag ARCMPAB, am I right? Except maybe for Jim Treliving, the Mountie who decided to do something productive with his life, and start making pizza. This week on Doughboys, we continue Toront Dough, Dough Canada, The Great Bite North, a month-long culinary tour, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger along with my co-host, Celine Dijon. Okay.

The Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. That's not bad. Sending us some more bad roasts for the upcoming Toronto Canada Epps, Barry Lammer. Buddy Barry, We met backstage He saw me Rip Toronto apart, which I like the city. Everyone's afraid that I don't like the city. I've grown to like well Our guest is our guest has seen me

You've seen me come around Our guests for our for. Well, I guess for audio listeners, I guess is making a telling face at the moment. I've come I've come around quite a way. Yeah. But our live show episode came up today to date this. That's right.

As of the day of the as of this recording and people like Mitch really doesn't like Toronto and like there seems sad about we weren't so so Mars and Emma and I, we went on a wonderful waterfront tour. Our Atlanta Johnston the Knife took us, you know, on this walking tour.

Amelia was there too. You met her parents. We met her parents, which is, it explains a lot. And then we got to, explains everything, honestly. And then we got to, we met a fan, Rachel down there. I believe it was Rachel, right? Yeah. Yes, Rachel. And Rachel was like,

I felt so bad that Mitch didn't like the city. She was like, I'm sad. Rachel, I like it. I've grown to really, really like it. In fact, we did something that I really liked. I won't get into it. You and I did something together that I really liked. We had quite an activity that may have,

honestly may have turned the tides. I think it turned the tides for me quite a bit. I like the city. You guys say I'm thin skinned all the time. I just make fun of your city for a night and you're fucking babies. You're fucking- That's like they're thin skinned.

It sounds like they are a little thin skinned, Emma. Thank you, I agree. You make fun of Boston. You call me fucking small dick McGee. I don't give a shit. You call me tubby, I don't give a shit. I make fun of your city just a little bit. And you go crazy, you get upset at me. You say that I have the dick the size of a coffee straw.

You said that. But that's the same- Not you just talking to me. Yeah, no, actually, fuck you. Coffee Star, you said that. But that's the same- Not you just talking to me. Yeah, no, actually fuck you. I'm glad you're enjoying Toronto a little bit more

because we are in the midst of Toronto dough, dough Canada, the great bite north, a month long culinary tour of the six. And we are up here at podium studios in Toronto with Emma Erdbrink of course, and a super producer Mars, Marissa Melnick is here. Now Mars, you took us to Tanuno in Little Manila on Tuesday night for a birthday dinner with Amelia.

Amelia has since gone back to LA. Amelia loves seafood. She told us- Amelia just left. She left, yeah she was just- She was just like, this sucks. Yeah, she was done. Not with the city, but with us.

Amelia's quote was, I always roll the dice on fish. And so we went and had a seafood buffet. This is a, this place, the salad service is Kamayan. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it correct, but you get like a gigantic table's worth of garlic rice and then piled on top of that is milkfish, tilapia, squid, shrimp, mussel, pork belly, pork skewer, okra, eggplant, mango salad.

It's awesome. That sounds like rolling the die. I mean, that's the role in the dice rolling the dice. Yeah, very much so. You roll the die or do you roll the dice? You roll the dice. You do. Yeah. Isn't two dice die? No, you roll. You roll the dice, but you can roll a singular is a singular is a die.

OK, plural is dice. I fucked up. Did you were you're not thinking about Han Solo's famous dice? Oh my God. That's the way you remember. He's got two of them. We've brought up Han Solo's dice too much in Canada alone. We talked about it for a long time last episode.

Mars, this is a place you love and you took us to, you actually treated us to, which was super duper nice, but I thought this was an amazing meal. Yeah, it's just a fun experience because you have to eat everything with your hands too. They give you gloves. It comes with unlimited garlic rice, and I love garlic rice.

I'm still stinking from all the garlic I ate for sure. But yeah, it's just a cool hole in the wall. Anytime I take people from outside of Toronto to it, they always have a great time. So I want to take you guys too. A lovely meal. You're safe from Canadian Dracula though. It's true. I want to suck your blood, eh always have a great time. So, I want to take you guys to. A lovely meeting. You're safe from Canadian Dracula though. It's true.

I want to suck your blood, eh? That's Canadian Dracula, what do you think, Wags? Ah, pretty good. All right, you gotta play your drop. Sorry, buddy, after he sucks your blood. Or whatever. Emma, hit him with a drop. Our guests, like, you know.

This is not one of your defining attributes. You're a sneezer. I'm not a sneezer? Chris, you're a new, oh God, I'm going to sneeze. I I'm going to sneeze. Why? We listen to a podcast and this person sneezed on it and we laughed. I sneezed again.

Wow. No warning that time. Wow. I am judging. I've never been so afraid that a sneeze was coming on. Well, as the drops go on, you can just tell that the show has gotten worse and worse. Whatever.

Howdy, doughboys. This may be super dated, but I was listening to the Checkers 2 episode with Tom Sharpling. Oh, an old episode. That is. Yeah, that is dated. That was the deep pandemic. Hey, we love Sharpling.

Yeah. We gotta get him back. Where Mitch was christened as Martin score Sneezy. Then by chance I heard the Coke freestyle episode where he said, where said Sneezes, oh, where said Sneezes occurred and put together this little drop, enjoy Caleb. Caleb.

Caleb. Wait, the Caleb we know, Wasn't there, was there a... Probably another Caleb. I don't know. You think it's a Caleb? You think it's like the editor that we know? Yeah. Yeah, I doubt that. I think that Caleb would have reached out to me personally and let me know he was doing this. You're right. Wags, the nightmare came true for me yesterday. I'm having with, I was like, I had, this is like the most days off I've had in your fucking here.

It sucks. And we had to do the podcast. I know we had to do the podcast, but we were filming yesterday and I have kind of like a crazy, I have some crazy wardrobe. I can't say what it is. I have some crazy wardrobe that's like not easy to get in and out of. And we were doing wides of a scene and there's a 10 one, which is you have to take a pee. Yeah. You mean you need to urinate.

And then there's a 10 two, right? call 10-Stu. My character is Stu. And I had to, during the scene, I was sweating. And I had to say to the AD, I need to stop. I need to go to the bathroom. I was like, can you make it through this next scene? And I was like, no. And I had to run upstairs and 10-Stu. And here's the thing.

I could say this because I'm under an NDA, your wardrobe was a diaper, but it was a picture diaper. They gotta use it on camera. So you can't use it. You can't fill it up. I asked them immediately if I could fill up the diaper

and they said, no, you can't shit in this thing. And like it stopped down production. Oh wow. Everyone was waiting. Everyone was waiting. God, that's the worst. And I got back and I like it stopped down production. Oh wow, everyone was waiting. Everyone was waiting. God, that's the worst. And I got back and I said to Stephanie Beatrice, I was like, sorry. And she's like, what did you poop?

And I was like, yeah. But my bit is on set is if I go to 10-2, I just, I'm like, man, that was a really long 10-1. I just pretend that it was, I try to pretend. I've heard you do that bit before. Yeah, I mean, it's great. It's a good bit. It's a great bit. But it was a true nightmare. It shot everything down.

I don't know if you've ever been in that position before, but it was bad. Did you have a moment where, like, do you know what caused it? Or was it this just like the natural sort of flow? Like, was there? Our fucking show. Oh it was our show that did it.

We ate Swiss, LA and Harvey's back to back. Oh, so it's right, it was the next day. What the fuck do you think is causing it? I thought you said it was yesterday. I thought it was yesterday. And yesterday was Wednesday and we ate that Monday. And I was like, no way you were shitting out Monday's food on Wednesday afternoon.

I almost shit my pants. And it's the week doughboys are here. What the fuck do you think caused it? I don't know. Your own decisions? I'm eating set food. That's it. Okay. It's still, it's the- I'm sorry you had to do that. That's an embarrassing situation.

It was embarrassing. I'm sure everyone put it out of mind immediately. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. No one remembers it. At the rap party, people are giving toast. And we're going to have Mitch. It took a big shit. Shut everything down. Cost of production, seven million dollars. Anyways, it's been it's been it's been quite the week with you.

You guys here. It's been fun, though. We're having a good time drops at Birdfuck.com. And hey, we're going to continue to have a good time. Very, very excited to have today's guest back and in studio this time. Not just overuck.com. And hey, we're going to continue to have a good time. Very, very excited to have today's guest back in and in studio this time, not just over Zoom. Yeah. Honestly, baffling he came back to us. I think part of this confuses me, but I'm thrilled to have him.

This feels like he feels bad for his little dumb brother or something, but we're happier here. Our guest plays Sweet Tooth on Twisted Metal on Peacock. Season two coming soon, Samoa Joe. Hi, Joe. Hey, guys. We're happy to have you here. Thanks so much for being here. I'm so happy to be here.

You know, it's just this morbid curiosity. I'm glad I'm satiating it. You know, it's like, we're getting over this hill. You know what I mean? We're not looking back, but OK. It's like slowing down when there's a car accident. Ooh, boy, it's a blaze. So here we go.

You've been up here in Toronto for months now because you've been shooting up here and you have as heavy a workload as anybody. You're in a lot of it. So have you gotten to see and experience the city at all? I know you've spent some time here in the past. Well, I like to tell your listeners, I love Toronto. It's one of my favorite cities in the world.

Several friends here, fantastic restaurants, beautiful nightlife, great concert venues. You know, really it's kind of like a taste of the world all in one little place, you know? I've grown to love this place over the many years I've come, I've vacationed here. And, you know, it's just, it's a real vibrant city, a real vibrant town. And it's just a shame that some people can't appreciate that. Let me tell you, you're great. He's just, he's a good wrestler and he can really put the promo

out there into the world, but you, you're, you're full of shit. I like, I have grown, Toronto's grown on me. I had a string of bad luck. A lot of things can grow on you. It doesn't mean necessarily good now. You know what I'm saying? That's, that's, I mean, that's, it's growing in a good I'm saying? That's, I mean, it's growing in a good way. Okay.

It's growing in a good way. I've done my best, right? I've done my best to change that perception. We've had a great time together. Why don't you tell them a little bit about what you've done this summer with me since we've been here, since it's been such a horrible time. We went to a Green Day concert together.

That's fun. And Joe hooked it up, we were like in the front section basically. Wow. And thank you Lars at For Rancid, take care of us. Yes, yep, yeah. Lars Fredersen, great For Rancid, take care of us. Yes, yep. Lars Fredersen, great brother.

And then we did, we've done a lot of aquatic exercise together, it's true. Yeah, I've got them in the pool, we're doing a little aqualogics workout, getting the old rowan muscles back into shape for old Mitchie. Yeah, yeah. Wow.

When we did do it, at one point they came back out. I always wanted to take a picture, you gotta like trap Zilla in the pool, it's like, oh, at one point my, they, they came back out. I was going to take a picture. You got to like trap Zilla in the pool. It's like, Oh, I don't think I'm still here. Like, you know what I mean? Like voice change a little bit. Kind of bumping people on the street. It was dope. I remember you were telling him about this, like, like, Hey, I'm working out with Joe in the pool. You,

you just texted us a few times while you were doing this and you just talked about how like fatiguing they were. Like, do you have a place you go for this? Like where I got a pool in my apartment. Oh, you have a pool in your complex. He said this to me. He was like, he was like, I'm going to show you an exercise and it's going to, and it's going to be the, it's going to look like the easiest thing in the world. And then it's going to make you the most tired. And then he showed it to me and I was like, cause I'm not going to be like, yeah, right. But then he showed to me, I was like,

that looks so easy. It does look easy. And it was just doing this. I was just doing this in the water and then. Little forearm motions. You know, like, like, you know, you do the grip strength thing. Yeah, sure. And it was the most fucking exhausting thing I've ever done. Mitch is like, I do this all the time. Right?

Yeah. He thought he had like, oh, this. Okay. Motion. Yeah. Okay. Jack off like this, Like a fucking motorbike. When you and your twin brother are on the motorcycle.

Who the fuck would that's you? Who the fuck would I do that with? I don't, you should have, I mean, maybe we'll get them in the pool. We should get them in the pool. We should get them to go. Oh man. I'd be down. A wives workout? Yeah. It'll be down. A lads workout?

Yeah. It'll be fun. I mean, it's so, so tiring. I'm sure it would exhaust me. I just, I like, I used to swim, but I mean, like any sort of like, it's just the resistance is up so much when you're in a body of water.

Yeah, so I'm certainly, I couldn't handle it. Maybe we'll take you. Maybe. You leave when? Saturday morning? Saturday. All right, no, we're not gonna take you. It's like every particular hell that he experienced out here,

he just wants to share that with you, why? Yeah, exactly. We've got some great dinners together. Wait, remember with the Lee, who was there? Suser Lee was there. Yeah, walking around. That's amazing. Yeah, yeah. He was in, we got like, he was there and they were like,

do you want to get the chef tasting menu? And they were like. That's amazing. Yeah, yeah. He was in the, we got like, he was there and they were like, do you want to get like the chef tasting menu? And they were like, he's here. And we were like, well then yeah. Which is kind of like a strong arm move. Yeah, right, right. So would you like to get the pre-forks seven course meal? Well, we were thinking about maybe get a couple of, you know, he's here.

Yeah. And then they kind of like, they kind of did like a, over there and he was like standing there like just very, their iron chef stare down. Well, I guess we had the priest take the seven courses then, you know, he's probably sweating over there. He sees two fucking big dudes over there. He's like, Ooh, uh, which it was actually it was, it was filling and wags maybe the best slaw I've ever had in the world.

Yeah. What, what made this slaw so spectacular? I couldn't tell you. There's a million things in it. Yeah. It sounds like shit. And then. Well, yeah.

We have a vegan Thai slaw. Yeah. And then the guy went on a 15-minute tirade about how it's the greatest thing they make. Everybody comes back for it. He almost oversold it. I was like, all right, dude, you're not doing this dish any favors at this point.

And then it came to the table and it was awesome. Yeah, yeah. It was everything he said it was. And healthy. You're gonna be 10 stewing after that. I'm gonna catch my drift. No one else calls it a 10 stew. It's not catching on, by the way.

Yeah, you keep trying that. And you keep not wanting to say it, but it's cool. You want shitting to be affiliated with your character's name. Like trying to make that happen. Okay, so do you have like a standout meals or standout restaurants you go to in the city? Cause I went to one place that Mitch,

I know you told me about was, is it Prime Seafood House? Is that the- Prime Seafood Palace. Prime Seafood Palace, this is the Matty Matheson restaurant. Yeah, it took us in the back kitchen, it was great. That's amazing. I think just the service is just out of this world. I mean, food's great, without a doubt.

Food's top notch, tremendous, lovely, lovely meal. But they're just really great people and they take care of you. Anytime of day, bring you in the back of the kitchen, show you stuff. It was a good experience. That's awesome. It was like one of those things where they brought us

into the back kitchen, I felt like I shouldn't be in know, it's a, it was a good experience. It was like one of those things where they brought us into the back kitchen. I felt like I shouldn't be in there. You know what I mean? Like, I'm going to like a beard hair is, you know what I mean? Like I'm afraid of being in like the, it's, it's like some of the best food in Toronto. It was like me when I was backstage at AEW, I was like, Oh, wants me here. I'm in everyone's way. You and stuff. I make fun of them because I said that they were scared backstage

at AEW. I would be too. It's chaos back there. Yeah, it's wild. It is crazy. Especially in the forum, you know what I mean? It was me and JR fighting over sausages, basically. You going to eat that, son? All right, so-

Hold on a second. Yeah, please. The thing I said in the car, we got to do on a second. Yeah, please. The thing I said in the car, we got to do it. Look, okay, great. There's news that big justice and big AJ are coming to AEW. Yes. So we need to ask your opinion. What do you choose the chicken bank or double chocolate chunk cookie? God damn. Ha!

Ha! Ha! I mean, uh. Ha! Ha! Ha! Uh. Ha!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh man, this is, you're, you know, you were saying it was, and it's worse. Uh. You know, if you want to leave, it's okay.

No, it's okay, I'm good. It's three flights downstairs. I know why you trapped me up here now. Brilliant plan. You got me. Sons of bees. Have you had both of them? I've never had the chicken bake.

I can never bring myself around to get the chicken bake because the hot dog is so good. I mean, the Costco hot dog is a... This guy gets a hot dog and the fucking I'll do the chicken bake sometimes the chicken bake has Bacon and is the thing and I've been trying to eat less less or trying to not eat pork and and so like that's the that's One's kind of falling off. The thing about the chicken bake is It can be a little hit or miss the hot dogs always hitting but sometimes a chicken bake like it's like if you get an old one Yeah, that's like something kind of going with is like the consistency. Yeah, doesn't look like a chicken bake, like it's like, if you get an old one, it's like, that's what I'm kind of going with. It's like the consistency, it just doesn't look like

consistent product, you know, it looks like, sit there for a while and get real 7-eleven-y real quick. Yeah, the hot dog, the hot dog is better than the chicken bake. Definitely, yeah. But the chicken bake has its charm. I like the chicken bake. Sure.

So I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say cookie. The, well, why? The cookie's legit. Double chocolate chunk cookie is legit. Yeah, that, Jesus. Joe, do you mind saying it like that? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, actually I do mind. Funny you mentioned it. I like how you set that up by saying, we gotta do the thing we did in the car. Like this bit we practiced that we knew was gonna be solid gold. Well, to be clear, in the car I was like, what was that dumb thing I said Joe would get mad at?

And then I eventually did remember it. All right. So the timing of last time you were on, Joe, is that we recorded the episode. Twisted Metal was coming out. And then the SAG-AFTRA strike happened. We got a bunch of, you know, they had the strike guidance, which we complied with.

But part of that involved, we weren't allowed to talk about anything that was currently airing. So we haven't really gotten a chance to talk about Twisted Metal on the show. So I just wanna give you a second, cause it's, your Sweet Tooth, it's the iconic character from Twisted Metal.

And so a lot is on your shoulders in terms of realizing that. But also I think people watching it, as someone who watched the whole first season, are just like, oh yeah, a lot is on your shoulders in terms of realizing that. But also I think people watching it as someone who watched the whole first season are just like, oh yeah, this is sweet tooth. You know, this is great. And then we were talking earlier, like the moment when your head gets set on fire,

which is the thing everyone's waiting on. Which is done by Stu. Which is done by Stu. You're great, you're a great man. It plays so well. Yeah, no, yeah. Like it sucks that when I was first here we couldn't talk about it.

Because obviously we'd come off this really fun season. The show was received so well. Yeah, no, yeah. Like it sucks that when I was first here we couldn't talk about it because obviously we'd come off this really fun season. The show was received pretty well and we definitely wanted to talk about it. But yeah, it was weird for, you know, for me, obviously I'm a big gamer. I mean, I remember Twisted Metal when it first came out and I remember playing it couch co-op with my buddies

for hours at a time. And yeah, it's a big weight, especially when you're a gamer. Like, you know, you want to get a character like Sweet Tooth right. And yeah, I mean, when they did pitch it to me, like I remember I kind of went into my deep knowledge of gamer bullshit that they told me it would never be worth anything.

And, you know, kind of pulled out, you know, an idea of what we wanted the character to be. And after me and Will met and spoke a little bit, you know, we had a chance to kind of bring it together. And I mean, I've been enjoying it. I liked what we put out and I'm excited for people to see what we're doing in season two. I'll say this, because I mean,

I think I said some of this last year, but Joe is the onset. He is the most prepared guy. Do it like a, he always knows his lines. Wait, it's not you? No. Hmm, weird's not you? No. Hmm, weird. I take acting very seriously.

I know you do, I know you do. Yes, we all know that. I take it very seriously. You keep telling us that too, in the green room. Joe is- No, I will say we had invited you out to a fun event earlier this week, and you were like, I have to study my lines

because you were working the next day. That's the truth. You were dedicated to your craft., I have to study my lines because you were working the next day. That's the truth. You were dedicated to your craft. And I did eventually study those lines around 11. Hey, you're starting to do that now? That's awesome. It's trending up. Joe is always off book, always knows his lines,

always is giving a great performance. Oh, you. This is the truth, but also on top of all of that, well, dealing with me, Juan, and being like, man, I fucking sucked. That's what happens all the time. I'm like, I sucked. He's like, relax, you're fine.

We're like, man, that 10-2 took way too long. And I was like, yes, but we gotta keep moving. We gotta keep going forward. Let's think and think. Am I sweaty? And I'm just drenched with sweat. And the makeup team, I'm supposed to be sweaty a lot of the time, but the makeup team is like, we need to take

the sweat off of you after your gigantic shit. This is the truth. This is what happened the other day. But you're always very kind as a scene performer. But more than anything, in this season, I've noticed a lot of it. And I said this last year too, but you're so good with, you're so good with your body language. He's so good with his body language. It's easy.

Right, because your face is covered. You're wearing the mask, so like so much of it is like stuff that you have to physically embody with your limbs. And that comes, I know, and I think we maybe did speak about this on your first episode, but that comes from, you were a performer. Yeah, I mean, my family, they ran a Palmologist dance troupe.

So I've been on stage since five, uh, traveling, doing shows and then. Transition into pro wrestling. And then a lot of it is just, uh, kind of picking up tips from a lot of the mass wrestlers and their ability to moat. Oh yeah, sure. Right.

Kind of like, you know, cause you know, Jushin's under the lag, I think was one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of our industry, but you never saw his face or never got to see the pain and the hurt, yet he still managed it to get it across. And yeah, it just kind of took the same approach with this character, which is a good thing, because it's kind of what I'm hired for. It's kind of the prerequisite for the job. You got to animate the character with lips and eyes and all that stuff. Well, you're also giving such a great performance on set, too, on top of vocally as well.

Because I want to make sure my Mitch is in his best form You know, I want them to see the best version of you man. So I give my all so you can give your all And I am yeah. Yeah. I mean we think so It is it is good like just like when you're like there's a scene this year where like you're walking down the hallway You're like excited about something, you can read it in the body. Although I did do the Groucho Marx walk a little bit too much earlier this season.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Halfway through two episodes, I'm like, I'm walking everywhere like Groucho Marx for no part of reason, that it's just silly and I like it. It was fantastic, it was great. Okay, so what is it like actually wearing the helmet? What is your visibility, what is it like to breathe wearing the helmet? Like what is your visibility? Like what is it like to breathe in there?

The sweet tooth mask? The sweet tooth mask, yeah, yeah. It's, well it used to be decent when I had two eyeballs. I shot one out. You shot one out, thanks buddy. So it's been great walking around with one this year. But yeah, I mean the visibility obviously you get one eyeball. The ventilation's pretty much non-existent.

Yeah. I can probably help Wags out here. So think about like a ball gag mask and then just like your entire face. Okay, yeah. Got it, got it. Remember those ball gag days, bud? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. It's kind of like a leather gimp hood combined with a ball gag mask. Yeah, there you go, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, perfect. Did you get it? Yeah, yeah, I got it. Well, okay, so you're wearing the mask

and a lot of times like, you know, you have this, the ice cream truck you're in. Like what is that ice cream truck actually like? Can I just say terrifying? It's fucking terrifying. We, I think we actually did say this on the first episode too. It's a converted mail truck.

Yeah. And we. Yeah, I'm Mitch. I'm fucking teeing up stuff that we already talked talked about but we had to edit it out of the previous Oh, did oh really? Recorded first episode the strikes hadn't started yet. So we talked about a bunch of stuff I had listen to the fucking time in the memo earlier saying we're gonna probably recover you didn't get the memo either Jesus Christ Was there an email?

So look it was a converted mail truck look. It was a converted mail truck. It was a converted mail truck. It seems like I'm really prepared for this podcast too, aren't I? Acting is my job. Though I am playing the character of Mitch in this podcast. People don't know that. I'm actually much smarter and shitless. It was a converted mail truck and we both tip our cap to prisoners of New Orleans. Yes. Oh my God. And mail carriers. When they didn't have AC in the mail trucks, it's so fucking...

It's a metal box of hell. It sucks. Yeah. Well, that and then one of the walls is fraught with just the sharpest, rustiest things. Yeah. We've seen hacksaws, spikes, nails. I remember one day, like, as we were like tumbling around back there, we're like, Hey, shouldn't we maybe like, I don't know, not having so many hooks and barbs on the wall of the car that were crashed around and like, Oh, that's a good

idea. They started like bending back hooks and doing all kinds of stuff. Joe and I were like, it was like, like they're, they, you know, they're, oh yeah, that's a good idea. They started like bending back hooks and doing all kinds of stuff. Joe and I were like, it was like, like they're, you know, they're in the car and they're like, you know, it will be green screen or something, but they'll like be moving the car. There'll be two like grips basically,

just like bouncing the car up and down. And then we have to like go back and forth and throw ourselves and you're like, you're throwing yourself into a wall of weapons basically. Yeah. But that fucking, that fucking ice cream truck sucks so much. It sucks. It's a, it's great.

I can't, it looks great. Now, granted, I may have a different perspective because I have a nice comfortable seat and you know, you're usually in the back holding onto something that really shouldn't be held onto and trying to keep balance. So I can see where you would think it sucks, you know, cause you don't get to actually sit down and you're like a civilized person and. Harold gets shotgun. Harold, this is the truth.

Harold the paper bag gets shotgun. So I'm just always standing up in the back of the ice cream truck, which does, which sucks. But even just driving around it, we like, we shot some stuff this year where we were driving pretty fast in here. It's like, that's a fucking scary car. If you go above 20 miles per hour.

If you get up to the 30s and 40s, you're, it's rattling weird ways. And the, the clown head on the top is basically a giant sledgehammer that just like, as it gets going and hits the car, just, you just, it sounds like somebody's trying to break in with the tank. Like just bam, bam, bam, bam. We have a great team that takes care of like the picture car people are awesome. And the stunt people are awesome.

And the whole crew was fantastic. But this year, the breaks on the ice cream truck did go out at one point. Oh my God. It was great. We were only making a, like a five mile per hour return, but we didn't take out a camera. We nearly took out a camera.

It was fucking, it was scary as hell. But yeah, anyways, it's an old fucking ice cream truck. And then if you want to talk about New Orleans and the, that, the jail. So we've, we've, wow. Uh, so if you were a prison in the city, if you're a prisoner in the city of New Orleans and then 1800s, well, even upset it wasn't that place open until like, it was open to like the eighties or nineties.

Well, yeah. And so basically it was like, I think it was the old New Orleans City jail. Yeah and Basically, it's really archaic cement block building with this courtyard and during the day in the courtyard It got so hot it melted the lights and then we filmed like midnight Dead of dead of midnight 12 o'clock at night, the temperature inside that courtyard was still 112 degrees. It was insane. Oh my God.

It was so, it was like one of the hottest experiences of my life. Like honestly, you could have sent me to like 10 days in there and I would have been like, I'm never committing a crime ever again. Because like it was a human oven. Like it was crazy how they, and like it was designed that way. You could tell like it was designed to just bake people in the yard. Like, yeah. It was fucked. It was fucked up.

It's the episode where, what's the place where you were sent to Blackfield. It's the Blackfield episode when we visit Blackfield together, why? Cause I don't know if you remember. I remember, yeah, yeah. Just because it's the Canadian episodes, 112 degrees Fahrenheit, I looked up, is 44 degrees Celsius.

So that is really... Oh my God. ...is blazing. The Canadians are going crazy right now. They go, 44, but... That's wild. We're a real story for those guys. Do you have any from...

It could be from last season, it could be from this current season you're shooting. Do you have any stories, it could be from last season, it could be from this current season you're shooting, do you have any stories about Mitch on set? Cause it is so much of the show is the two of you. Well, he already took the good one about him holding up production about $5 million worth of work with his massive bowel movement.

Do you know how embarrassing that is for everyone to stop down for you? Yeah, I know, yeah, totally. And they're like, I heard over- Well, I think the most embarrassing part was the director started like, like humming the Jeopardy theme. Well, that was kind of messed up. For 17 minutes. It's so embarrassing as you're going upstairs being like,

I'm going to go to the bathroom and like having like complicated outfit on. Right. And then you walk by a PA and you hear over there over the walkie talkie like, Mitch has to take a bathroom break. Just everyone knows, it sucked. Yeah, I mean, I've not had that specific situation but I did have a time when I was on the Comedy Bang Bang TV show and I was shooting a bit where I was like

playing a waiter and I was just like, hey, I'm just gonna run the restroom real quick. And as soon as I went in the bathroom, I heard a guy in a walkie talkie outside. I was like, yeah, Wiger's in the restroom a little bit. Yeah, like they were clearly waiting for me. And hearing, yeah, hearing that that's a radio conversation, it makes you very self-conscious.

Yeah. Yeah. You just gotta come back and be like, woof, that 10.1 was crazy. That's all you gotta do. I think all the stories, it's like pretty much our shared, like we've had some rough goes as far as like shooting locations and our outfits when we're shooting. Sometimes a little bit skimpier than they should be.

Oh yeah. Sure. Being a little cold in Canada some evenings, you know, a little peaking and, uh, just, you know, busy shooting schedule, having to get stuff done. And then, uh, at the same time, it's like, you know, while you're waiting for some type of solar blanket, uh, they're like, all right, we're up. Let's get this shot. And they shoot it. And then it's like, you're, while you're waiting for some type of solar blanket, uh, they're like, all right, we're up, let's get the shot. And they shoot it.

And then it's like, you're done in five minutes. So you're frozen and you're being escorted back to set. And he's always shirtless. He never has a shirt on. And then there might be, you know, there might be stuff where I, uh, there might be stuff where I'm in a similar, a similar situation, but maybe, no, I will just say similar, similar situation, but from the waist down, perhaps. And it was cold.

It was, hey, I just want to make it very, very clear. It was super freezing that day. I had dinner with your wonderful family. That was a fantastic moment. You watched my giant son kill a two-person prime rib. That was the funniest. Which we found out when we went back there and giant son kill a two person prime rib. That was the funniest. Which we found out when we went back there and he tried to order the same prime rib. They looked at a bitch and go, sir, that's for two people.

They wouldn't let me do it. They let his son do it. They wouldn't let me do it. That's so funny. And his son is an alpha. His son rules. Both of your sons rule. Yeah, I do have a giant son with the size 16 shoe and just taller than me. And he killed the prime rib pretty quick too. He took it down. I have an elephant tricolage,

in case he gets out of hand. I love him to death, he's the best. Well, congrats on Twisted Battle. It's rad, I'm very, very excited for season two. And the other thing I'm excited about is a thing that I was completely surprised by, I think a lot of people were, like a dragon pirate Yakuza in Hawaii,

which is you just show up in the trailer. I just do. I'm watching this thing, cause I just, I, you know, I like those games and like, and I told you, like, I was like, is that Joe? And then I just typed in Samoa Joe into my search engine and Bing auto-completed Yakuza. So like, you know, you were just like,

everyone was talking about it. These games are games that you like, you were a fan of the series when this offer came to you. Yeah, I played a good majority of the Yakuza games, the like a drag games, I played them all and dug them. So it was cool. Like, got in touch, Say you got in touch with me and they gave me the offer. And I was like, you know, super surprised. You know, they've been using a little, a little bit more with Western celebrities. I was late. I think they had Danny Trejo in the last game. So, uh, yeah, it was cool, man. I was, I was, I was really stoked on it. And then, uh, I actually did my first audio for it here this past weekend. And, uh, I'm really excited to, uh, to, for people to see what they've come up with.

Cause that's pretty crazy. There's a couple of things I want to address to, uh, to, for people to see what they've come up with. Cause that's pretty crazy. There's a couple of things I want to address here. Yeah, please. One, we were joking that we weren't sure if Joe was a part of the Yakuza. For real. Two, Joe has strong opinions about weapons. I do. Oh wow.

And I, I, I, a lot of weapons in these games. They are. Can I say what? Can I say, I'm going to, I'm gonna quote you here. Yeah. I think I'm quoting you correctly. Samurai swords are bullshit. Is that correct?

Yeah, that's pretty correct. And- Now, kids aren't gonna be happy about that. Well, they don't use them anyways. He knows if you want, if you would like to talk about weapons for a second, cause what did you tell me was the best weapon? I would say like probably like,

uh, the, the English cavalry saber. Okay. I mean, really like when you look at it, if you get a guy with a cavalry saber and a guy with a katana, I think the cavalry saber guy will possess nine times out of 10. It's just. I remember reading about, uh, you know,

there's a period of warfare where like pikes and halberds, which are usually like, like kind of like, uh, like, oh yeah, that's a, that's an option in an RPG, but they were like absolutely dominated battlefield. Oh, for the, I would, I would wager probably through most of the, the a hundred years war and the middle ages, just because you know,

pole weapons are easy. They're easy to manufacture. Uh, you put one in a farmer's hand, you say poke like this and you have yourself a soldier. So I mean, it's a ease of adoption and ease of building and ease of use and you can mass manufacture them. So yeah, generally pole arms or speared weapons

would probably be the ultimate battlefield weapon if you had to choose one. And also you are a collector of weapons. Not purposely, never started off purposely, just people, I would just come by, I'm like, people are like, oh here, you want this? I'm like, oh, okay, cool. And like I'd put them in a bucket and then the bucket just came ridiculously

full with stupid weapons from everywhere. And then now I've just kept adding to it just for shits and giggles. And you also will send, didn't you send John Moxley? I'll send him. I'll send, not just him. I mean, I've punk, uh, I mean, it's just hilarious to get a battle axe on your doorstep on a Wednesday. Like, it's just, I mean, you know, it's, it's, it's strictly for me and my

pleasure just to get that text, like, what the fuck dude, like, you know, like, you know, especially the wild, like Renee is the best, you know, I'll send stuff to Moxley and Renee will just be like, I have a fucking child. Will you stop this? Wait, you can just like ship a morning star through like UBS. That's wild. Two days. I mean, she can prime that shit if you really need to.

You should FedEx Mitcha Claymore. Yeah, oh, don't not give me ideas. It'll be bad news for you. You're basically sending a murder weapon to one of us. I just want to see you posing with your two cats. Defender of my land. Okay, you were, cause you were telling me, and I don't know if you could tell the story there,

but you were like, they were briefing you as they were talking through your character on Like a Dragon Pirate, because in Hawaii, and they were talking about the game and explaining it, and you reached a point where you just had to tell them like. Yeah, well, and I like to use all games, like even if I've played the series before, it's like, well, shut up and actually hear

what they have to say about the game. You know, so they're, they're trying to describe a, like a dragon game to me. But, you know, they're kind of getting sidetracked by all the wackiness in the game and like the explanation was just taken like, but it's Yakuza, but then it's it's very lighthearted and there's mini games you can, uh, Mario Kart and then the, you can deliver stuff on a second. It's like, you know, I'm like, and finally I go, listen, I played both games.

I know exactly what they do. I finished, oh, thank God. It was like, it was like, okay. Oh man, cause we don't have to try to explain this to you, man, like just the wildness of, especially the like a dragon games, which are pretty out there as far as like a crazy stuff and enemies and things like that.

So yeah, you were saying, you were saying you've like, like 100% of the side quests in infinite wealth, which came out this year, like you're playing the shit out of these games and then out, like this offer comes in. It's gotta be crazy. It's wild, it's wild. Yeah, it's like, you know, you're something

that you're playing and then it's like, oh, and two months later you're like, oh, hey, do you wanna be in the next one? It's like, yeah, it's awesome. That's fucking rules. Yeah, it's pretty sick. I would say. A Baldur's Gate 3 expansion needs an NPC.

I'm available. The town freak. You gotta put it out there. Yeah. You can bring a chicken to you, you'll bite its head off. Yeah. I was saying that Sega,

it should know, it should scan you and you shouldn't be able to beat Joe if you fight Joe in the game. Weiger specifically, if you're you, yeah. Just get my hashtag. Your character just gets fucking destroyed. You just get slapped, the game, Weiger specifically, if you're you, yeah. Your character just gets fucking destroyed. Knock it off, Weiger. That's what I wanted.

It's getting hard. Jesus. I got a 10-1. Wait, really? I knew it. Yeah, I got a 10-1. Okay, we'll take a break. We'll be back with more Doughboys. Fuck.

Go get it. Yeah, I got 10-1. Okay, we'll take a break. We'll be back with more Doughboys. Fuck. Go get it. and give you full control of it right from your phone.

Welcome back to doughboys discussing Boston pizza. Mitch, how you feeling? I just want to apologize. It's such a long P.

Yeah, I noticed that. It was just such a long, so embarrassing. You having some more tract problems? There's a lot of grunting. Well, yeah. The toilets really hard to figure out. So I was like just trying to figure that out. Canadian toilets. Plus a couple of times. Yeah, so thatunting. Well, yeah. The toilets are really hard to figure out. So I was like just trying to figure that out. Canadian toilets.

Plus a couple of times. Yeah. So that took a couple minutes up of why you were waiting. It was like hard to figure out the toilet. And that was me trying to lift up the toilet. But yeah, man. What was all the cussing under your breath about? That was kind of...

I was like, they were low on, um, uh, uh, on soap. So I was like, I was big hands. Yeah. I was pretty pissed off about that. But man, what a long, that was such a long pee. Yeah. Yeah. Can I go in there right now?

Or should I wait a little bit? No, no, no, honestly, it smells like, uh, it smells like pee in there. Oh, which could be overpowering. Yeah. Okay. No, no, honestly, it smells like, it smells like pee in there. Oh, which could be overpowering. Yeah. Yeah. Eat a lot of vinegar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So embarrassing. Okay.

You know how- Your bladder must have been really full, so you must feel a lot better, yeah. Do you know when you have a really long pee like that, it's embarrassing? Yeah, no, no, yeah, I'm with you. We're discussing Boston Pizza for Toronto, Doe Canada, The Great Bite North,

a month-long culinary Tour of the Six. It was founded in 1964 in Edmonton by a Greek American, I'm sorry, a Greek Canadian, Gus Adgeiortis. Gus had two other choices to name his pizza chain. Those were both already copyrighted, so he went with Boston pizza for unknown reasons. He has no actual connection to Boston, he's never lived there.

There's speculation that he'd a friend from Boston, but it just seems like a pretty arbitrary choice that again, it gives no real connection to the city. And the owner. My mom called me after the P. That's why I had to go for a phone call for my mom. Oh, you had to take a phone call in there. Always take the time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was on the phone for a long time in there too. Yeah, that's all. And you were kind of just making fart sounds over the phone to her. You didn't hear anything, did you? We didn't hear anything. I was playing music pretty loud in there.

Once again, it was greatest American hero. You're Dave Matthews. Once again, it was greatest American hero. So, so Gus sold the concept to Jim Treleving, who was a former Mountie, made it into a billion dollar company. Former Mountie. Former Mountie. Treleving is also a panelist on Dragon's Den, which is the Canadian version of Shark Tank. So he's like, he's like a well unknown figure up here.

Hey, you know what? AMAB. Oh, you know what? A Mab. Oh, Mounties are bastards. I'm just going to say it. I go so far as to say A R C M A B. A Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It's a tricky acronym. Joe, have you had Boston Pizza previously?

Do you have any acronyms you want to throw out? No. No. No, I still want to be able to walk around the streets here. I have had Boston Pizza once before. It was after a event in Edmonton, oddly enough. Oh, wow. But I just had beers and wings.

Okay. And so you went in story, it was just like a place to hang out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And have you, you know, cause you spent a lot of time up here in Canada. Have you found any pizza in Canada that like, like you really like,

or have you developed any thoughts about Canadian pizza in general? I think the pizza game is pretty good, pretty solid up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think it's more of a recent thing. I don't think it's- It's pretty good.

Yeah, we did a Cowabunga pizza. We did Cowabunga pizza. That's in Hamilton, right? In Hamilton. In the Hammer. Yeah, in the Hammer. Yeah, as they fondly call it out here. If you can imagine that New Orleans prison but a giant city. I love it. I mean, am I wrong?

If you're hated in the streets of the hammer, I mean, nothing better. I actually, I kind of love the hammer in some ways. Yeah. Like people were like, that's why he doesn't like Toronto. It's not the re and I was just joking anyways. But were you, but were you listen, can be honest here, any place that's kind of a little far from home is a little rough for you. That's true.

I'm missing Wally and Irma. You're a homebody. I am a homebody. It's been almost three months without seeing Wally and Irma. I miss my kiddies. Now we get to the crux of it. You got the mini versions on the table right there

along with the mini hunky minions. All courtesy of Emma. I got another recommend. T-W-S-L-E-hmm. All courtesy of Emma. I got another recommend. T-W-S-L-E-P. That was such a long, embarrassing piss. Yeah, yeah. Mitch, you're missing home. That's like a really common one.

It's true, yeah. People will say that all the time. Mitch, you're missing home. Uh-huh. You're a Boston guy. Uh-huh. Boston pizza, you're maybe thinking this is a taste of home. Yeah, you think I'd walk in there

and feel like I'm fucking at home. No, not at all. So you and I have been to Boston pizza together before. We went in Vancouver and that was my previous experience. And it was not a good experience, I would say. No, but it was also, it was a similar thing to what Joe was describing. He's like, we went very late.

It was not close to closing, but it was just like a late night bite. There was no other options for us. Yeah. And it was like, we both were tired. We were in there to do a live show. I think the next day we did the live show. Yes. And we were just like, let's just eat here. Was there an M, NBA game on? I think yes. Or maybe I think it maybe it was a playoff game because it was January. Maybe it was either a playoff game or an NBA game. NFL playoffs. And we were like watching the game and just eating pizza. And I think that we were like, this is okay.

I don't think we hated it. I think that this chain, I think people think that we're gonna like this chain the least. Well, and also, and Mars, I'm curious, cause you live up here, you're from here. Like did you grow up with, you're from here. Did you grow up with Boston Pizza?

Not really. I can't say I go there very often, or maybe I've only been there once. My only memory of Boston Pizza is at Anime North, which is Canada's largest anime convention. It's kind of closer to the airport. And there's not many restaurants there, but there's so many big crowds.

One of the only restaurants nearby is Boston Pizza, and they have the big Boston Pizza sign. And every Anime North weekend, and there's not many restaurants there, So that's my only affiliation with Boston Pizza, but sports bars kinda scare me. So you just see like the Boston Pizza welcome anime and then like Power from Chainsaw Man, that's awesome. That's exactly that. Wow. Sports bars kinda scare you. In college I was- I get that.

They're like loud, I don't understand sports. Well there's all those dudes that take those really long P's in them, you know what I mean? And that could scare off anybody. So embarrassing. So embarrassing. Speaking of which, on the men's room door, I showed you this, Wags.

I thought you were going to say, speaking of which, I got a 10-1 again. This might be a longer piss this time. There was this little, this fun little treat here, which is the washroom. Look at this. The guy's... Yeah, we'll put that up on the YouTube. So this is a guy, it's a guy who's in some sort of intestinal distress or does he just really need to pee?

He's like holding his. I think he really needs to piss, is what it looks like. He's like holding himself. He's holding himself. Or I was saying he was like a guy like embarrassed of his dick at the urinal. It's one of, it's one of the two. Yeah, either, yeah.

Either he's doing the, the, the, the eager, eager piss dance, or yeah, definitely embarrassed. Yeah, there's no urinal dividers, and doesn't like what he's packing. And then wise, I found a burger place that was like our burger place, Soy Boys. We're Soy Boys.

And then also- Does the Soy Boys beat up the dough boys? No. And then also I'll say this, at the end of the menu, in the dessert section, it says, got a sweet tooth? And I said, we got the sweet tooth. Yeah, that's right. Oh boy, you really said that.

Why? So. Grr. Okay. Oh boy, you really said that. Well. So. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. The things.

Sometimes I wish you would just piss all day. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We got the sweet tooth. There's a. No, we got it.

We got it. I think, I think that's, I think pizza pizza is pizza pizza a place that people eat more in Toronto? Certainly more than Boston pizza, but that's just because there's many more locations and it's open late night. Pizza pizza is like more of a takeout spot though, right? Like Boston pizza is like for Americans who haven't been here, Boston pizza to me is like, I said this in the restaurant, it feels more like Buffalo Wild Wings. It's like this is a place people go to like watch sports and like hang out.

Or what Pizza Hut used to be. What Pizza Hut used to be. It's like yeah it's more like a part, it's more like a sit down place as opposed to like Pizza Pizza which is akin to more of like a Domino's or something like that. But Pizza Hut, Pizza Pizza is also from Toronto and- Well we found this out. Yeah. Because we thought it Joe. I have to tell you, you gave me a bit of fake news. Oh no. I sparky'd you? You sparky'd me. Oh I gave you the old Canadian sparky. Pizza pizza not related to little Caesar's. It turns out.

Well, where's the lawsuit cause they're close enough, but I think it was, isn't there something that got litigated to some degree, like little Caesar's is not allowed to say pizza pizza up here. I don't know what predated what actually. You are not the only one who said that there were multiple people who were saying pizza pizza was Little Caesars in Canada. It sounds like a rebrand. Color scheme and font on there.

And it says pizza pizza. It's great. It's it's which is, as we know, is that little Greek fuckers catchphrase. Oh, the Greeks. Don't get you started. So Greek fucker with which Harris, Widdow's had a tweet about how they show his chest hair. It's true. Which is very funny. That's what makes Marinaris sauce tastes so good.

They have a Greek man. They shore them every day and leave fresh Marinar. Spoiler alert. Boston Pizza's marinara might need some Greek chest hair. Because our, well, we'll get into it. Things did not start off well. So we directed Joe to go to a Boston Pizza location that is not just permanently closed. Now appears to be just like an abandoned building.

Like I said, it looked more like downtown Boston than restaurant. God damn it. I was like, Hey, does he not like Boston? Shut up, fucking nerds. By the way, Emma was sending us to the right spot, which was pretty conveniently located for you. Yeah, it was a block and a half away from my apartment.

And then Wags... We should have gone there. Not to dox yourself, you will have weird Doughboys fans staying outside your, which you will easily be able to handle. But Wags was then like, hey, there's one in Clothel, we should go to this one, is what Wags said. Well, we were at a different, here's the thing, we were at a different place than we were doing for the podcast

and we were like, oh, this place is, I thought we were like, oh, we place is, I thought we were like, oh, we can walk to this. Cause it was like, it was like, you know, like nine minutes away or something like that. We were close to the Eaton Center. The Eaton Center. Mitch, we were close to the Eaton Center.

We were close to the Eaton Center, which we thought was fun. I fucked up. Cause the website, the Boston Pizza website listed it as a location and it showed up on Apple Maps as well. So I just assumed without double checking as to, without calling the number to make sure it wasn't permanently closed, that we would be able to go there.

But yes, it was gone. Not only was it abandoned, it smelled like trash. Yeah. It was very, it was, it was, there were bad vibes there. The website's got to delist it. It should not be among their locations. The record, Google Maps didn't even show it to me as an option. So maybe Google is more trustworthy

in what's open or closed. Might be. Versus Apple maybe we just. Or versus Boston Pizza's own fucking corporate website. Yeah, fuck that. This has almost happened twice to us too by the way. That it was closed? That we were gonna go to another location

that was just permanently closed. I love that my Uber driver when he dropped down goes, where the fuck you going man? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like you know he's like looking for like, okay, stop here, stop here. Where the fuck you going?

And then seeing Vox, I come out and I'm like, sorry. Hey buddy. I'm surprised that when we got there, you just didn't slam our heads together like coconuts, which you had the right to do. Well, it was great because like, you were a great sport about it and good spirits. But as we're walking over there, Mitch is telling me Joe is going

to be so mad and then he says, I'm blaming you. So I was ready to get my ass kicked. In my head, I was just thinking of you just picking them up and spinning them and tossing them. Which would have been great. We pivot to the front street location, which is in, in a kind of a, you know, this of this very bustling area. And we started with a couple of apps.

We got the triple play. I'll read the menu copy. A shareable portion of our three guest favorites, Bandera bread with Santa Fe ranch dip, our signature chicken tie bites and cactus cut potatoes served with cactus dip. Also wings, which we got fried. And that was with just their default buffalo hot sauce.

And we got it. And there was a, yeah, ranch dipping sauce. You get them baked or fried. And then our server, who was very nice, said the fried. Said to go fried, yeah. Was the way to go. I thought they were very solid wings. I got no complaints about those wings.

Here's, I have, I'm a big wing snob also. I love it. And my biggest thing, I think we talked about this, the size of the wings. Jumbo wings are bullshit. Yes. They are overly injected with water. They taste terrible.

They're chewy. They're rubbery. You need regular size small wings. Shout out to Ronnie Killings, also a big proponent of the small wing theory. And yeah, these are perfectly sized wings. I love it. Grilled, fried crispy.

Just so they should. Nice, nice. I think we talked about this too, nice buffalo hot sauce, perfect amount of hot. Good kick, a decent kick. Great kick, just right where it needed to be. So I mean, the wings, big pass from me. No, I say like I'm a bit of a heat seeker

and I like the, a bit of is key. Like I don't want this, I want punishing heat for my wings. I want just like that little bit of tang. They had a kick. A little bit of a kick. It was like a step above Frank's. It wasn't just Frank's. No, it wasn't just, yeah, I didn't think it was just Frank's.

And a decent ranch. Look, the ranch was good. These aren't the best wings that any of us have ever had. No, sure, of course not. And like probably like, but good, mid good, mid to good. Yeah, they weren't bad at all. They were good. The triple play was a pretty solid app platter too. Mitch, this is the thing I think you and I have eaten

more of than anything over the course of doing this podcast, which is just the appetizer sampler platter. And a lot of them are like, I'm just like, it's just dull. You've gotten the same like, you know, motts, motts sticks and onion rings and chicken tendies. Yeah, no, this one's, this one mixes up a little bit. The chicken tie bites, the Bandera bread, which Band this one's this one mixes up a little bit the chicken Thai bites the Bandera bread which Bandera bread which is just like a

Kind of like a kind of like a crazy bread. I like a cheesy flat like a cheesy flat bread Maybe is we'll talk about later. It's like pizza with the sauce, which is maybe the way to go Mm-hmm, and then like the potatoes are like I liked whatever that dip was I think it was just like a chipotle aioli, but yeah Yeah, or it was maybe it was more of like kind of like a like a like a dill ranch or something. I think it was a dill like a dill ranch. I thought one was a sour cream and onion kind of uh I think that's what we're talking about. Yeah yeah yeah. It's like a dill sour cream. Yeah yeah. So you're basically making your own sour cream and onion

chips with with by scooping. Yeah and the chips were were good. They were fine. Yeah, they're good. But the Thai chicken strips, I thought were tasty. Yeah. And the bandera slices, I thought those were pretty good, too. Those were good, and you already said it, but I agree. They were better than just the straight up cheese pizza we got, which you were right to say, let's get a medium cheese pizza just as a baseline. Like, you know, and so we just got there.

It's a good pizza. Exactly. I think for me, I always try, I mean, I don't think, I don't think there was a big enough difference between the medium and large here. The medium was pretty big size. I always say a large cheese pizza is the best thing to judge a pizza by.

That's how I feel. Yeah. I've always said this. I've said this on podcasts forever. Here's the deal with that place. I do think that the cheese is pretty good because we added on the Bandera bread and I liked it on the pizza too.

And the crust isn't bad. The sauce at Boston pizza is not good. It's not a good sauce. This is what I was alluding to, which you could tell, is that it tastes like the Domino's, if you get the Domino's marinara sauce to dip your bread into, and it tastes like there's some herb in it, which

what did you think it was? Like oregano. I think it is oregano. There was like an overwhelming taste of that herb in the sauce. I like how my brain just collapsed in itself and I couldn't think of oregano. So fucking dumb. I couldn't think of it either. We're both fucking dumb. We're dumb.

We've gotten dumber since the show started. I don't know what to tell people. I had a meltdown last year. I thought my house was haunted. I went through weird shit. I explained all this to Joe. He was like, okay. So a sinus infection, huh?

This guy right here has helped me get better with it. It's the truth. That's nice. He did. He said this, he said, walk, like at least walk a mile to get water and drink a gallon of water. And it helps so much. And I think it's just, it's clearing out my sinuses

basically. That's great. But that, the sauce is, it's like a, it just tastes like such a bagged shitty sauce. Yeah. And it ruined, I won't say ruined, oh yeah, it kind of does ruin the pizza. It ruins pizza.

I agree. To compare it to another sauce in recent memory, it was better than the sauce on the pizza approximation that was the pizza flatbread they have at Tim Hortons. Like that was just like tomato paste. I kinda was okay with that pizza. This had some seasoning to it. Do you prefer it to this?

No, because I think all the other ingredients in this were better. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say, but like the sauce had, it was like some sort of marinara, but it just like the flavor of it was, I don't know, I almost feel like it was like a some sort of marinara, but it just like the flavor of it was I don't know I almost feel like it was like just too sweet and it kind of overpowered everything it reminded me of It tastes like a dirt sauce. There was too many sure there were too many

It's if you get Burger King, which we like and you get the marinara cup. It tastes like that That's like it. There's like that's too many There's too many herbs. It's what else herbs in there. Can I say something else too? Like that pizza was not brought to us fresh out the oven. Absolutely not. And that really bugged me. Like, especially for a sit down pizza place, I need that little bit of that cheese sizzle. I need to sit like that thing got sat down in front of us and I was like, this feels

like it was reheated. Like it didn't feel like it was fresh out the oven. Which is, which I think they, I think they decided to bring both of our pizzas with us at the same, to us at the same time. And the other one definitely takes longer to make. Yeah. And I think that that is the reason why. That one sat, yeah.

And I think the other one sat and on top of that. It was honestly almost, it was almost room temp. It was like, it cooled off for a bit. It was not warm at all. It, like, I don't want to burn my mouth on cheese, but I want it to arrive at that, like, intensity. Yeah. You know, I have to take a second to cool it off. I want the option to burn my mouth on cheese, but I want it to arrive at that intensity. I'd have to take a second to cool it off.

I want the option to burn my mouth with cheese. What degree Celsius are you talking about for what you want your pizza at? I'll say like a, oh wait, I got Celsius. What's the boiling water? I'll say 91. Yeah, I want like 200 degrees Celsius for my pizza. Oh, I'm gonna, yeah.

Mars is that good? On fire. Is that like the son? That's close to it. Yeah. I just, I just intently stare at the Canadian as the number comes out. It was not only was it. Did it seem like it was sitting around for a while, but we ordered dipping sauces and the dipping sauce is kind of unceremonious. It came out on top of the pizza. Really weird presentation.

Ramekin on the pizza. I mean, listen, I've worked at a kitchen before. I know where those ramekins go. Did you work at a restaurant? Oh, a long time ago. Was it a chain or was it just? No, no, it was a small private family restaurant. Very high. Still, thank you for your service. Thank you for your service.

We'd like to say, but uh, yeah, like putting a ramekin on top of food is just, whoa. Yeah, I don't love that at all. It was not a good move. And also I think we all avoided slices that had the ramekin on it. One, we got a Chipotle sauce, a garlic, what was the garlic sauce? Garlic sauce and then a ranch. What was the garlic, it was garlic something sauce, right? I think it was a creamy garlic sauce. I'll look up the exact menu copy.

By the way, 200 degrees Celsius is 392 degrees Fahrenheit. Pretty toasty. Yeah, so, be hot, jeez. Oven temp, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Emma, you worked in restaurants. Those ramekins are not something you want sitting on top of food. Disgusting.

They're often in like a big stack pile of them and you just kind of grab one on top. And the amount of times that I would go to grab a ramekin and the one underneath it was full of some sort of weird shit from the dish pit that was all over the bottom of the next one. Good. So then you just take both of them and like toss them and grab it the next one.

They're not there's no way they're clean. I would though, when you said that my face was like, yeah, good, good, good, good. So, yeah, smear it on the cheese, rub it in a little bit. It was really we took a picture of it. It was like when you picked it up, there was like an indent in the pizza. Which also kind of sounds like that means it was sitting on top of the pizza for a while. Yeah, it was like enough to like indent in By the way, we brought back pizza. Don't eat the pizza with all the chipotle sauce on it. That's the one the ramekin was

It marked itself maybe that pizza actually looks better in though, you know the with the sauce on it versus the plain cheese Yeah, yeah. Oh, It looks nice in the box. Here's the deal. We got another pizza. The other pizza, which is the, on the menu it is called the NY Sicilian Square Footer. And they have three different varietals. We went with the Buffalo Chicken Pizza.

This is a mozzarella, spicy Buffalo Chicken, and red onions. And then they have some green onions and then they just kind of Peter North, some Buffalo hot sauce and buttermilk ranch on top of it. And it's a crispy garlic crust. I- By the way.

What? I mean, you're disgusting for one. People say I'm disgusting, you are too. There was something when we were, that was so filthy, I didn't even repeat it in front of Emma, but we were in the train station. So now you'll do it in front of the podcast. Now I'll do it all for the show.

We were in the train station and Weiger was trying to get, there was a- Oh, I missed it. I wanted to know what this was, keep going. It was a foot, there was a foot lever to get- Some hand sanitizer. Some hand sanitizer out. And he was stepping on it and like nothing was happening. It gave get some hand sanitizer out. And he was stepping on it and nothing was happening. It gave me a little drizzle. It gave him a little drizzle.

And then I stepped on it and it fucking shot out. It almost shot all over my hand. It almost shot all over Emma, almost on your legs. And then as we were walking away, Weiger whispered to me, I got the pre coming, you got the low. I'm fucking sick fuck. For the record, none of it touched me. I felt so bad that I got your shoes or something.

I mean, it's hand sanitizer, it's fine. Well, we also learned that Weiger steps very daintily. Fucking light foot. That's the big takeaway. Fucking put your foot down. Yeah, tip toe to the tulips, pal. I thought the square footer was great. And if that was the only pizza we had, I'd be like, Boston pizza might be all right, you know?

If that was the one style they did. That, it's crazy to say that, I maybe would say that's a home run. Yeah. It was fucking good. The corner pieces, we each had a corner piece. I thought that the corner pieces were in particular, that crust was really nice.

I feel like the chicken, if you really dissected, it probably wasn't good, but it worked well on the pizza. And there was no tomato sauce, which helped the pizza. They call it a New York Sicilian, but I think a lot of people would look at that and be like, that's a Detroit style pizza. That's what it looks like, yeah. Or they call it a grandma pie.

Sure, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'd love to go to New York and say, can I get a square footer? And they'd get the fuck out of there. That'd be nice. They would not like that. Hey, can I get a square footer? Get the fuck out of here.

Square footer right here. There's a spider outside of the restaurant that Weiger stomped on and he put- Oh, your spider killer. And he lifts up his foot and the spider was fine, fucking light foot. The spider flipped him off and walked away. The spider looked up and was like, what the fuck was that? You called me a pussy.

Yeah, I don't know. What did you think of that pizza? Dude, I thought it was the best thing that we had there. Like I said, Detroit style kind of had a night very, very light for, for a, like a, you know, a grandma's square piece. I can be get doughy and pretty heavy, but pretty light and had a nice little crunch to it, especially the corner pieces. And it could have used more chicken. That was my only, like the chicken was pretty sparse.

It was like a couple little flex here and there. It was like, you know, like, you know, when, when, when like somebody was trying to lose weight and they go to like the salad bar and all, just a little bit of protein. There was that kind of vibe, dude. Right. Yeah. But me in like a month or two, it happens on this, it happens on this show every so often, but yeah, it was like a light, it was not peed or north down there as it seems like it would hurt. A lot of chicken to get out of all the ways to deliver chicken.

You know what I mean? So pizza little chunks just on the Buffalo sauce too. Wait a minute. But I will tell you something that you could Peter North on there, that little ramekin of ranch, which was good ranch. And it really added it. That was nice. I was, I was, I was pouring on the slice as we, as we went along. That was,

if we didn't get the cheese pizza, which is you need to try it, I would have been like, Boston pizzas, maybe in the four forks. Listen, they should be a square pizza joint. Yeah, just go in that direction. They should just go in that direction. They found something that works. They found something that works.

They need to get rid of the round pizza. Or get a new sauce, they just need a new sauce. Honestly, I'm like, they need to go back to the drawing board on that sauce. The sauce is not good. It's not good. The crust wasn't bad. Like that on that beats it. And you might be right. Just turn it into if that's working. Yeah. Turn it into square pie place. So the the thing we didn't get because it was it was lunch and and and we're working is that none of us got the what explored the boozy side which is it is a bar.

It does have bar service. And that is a big thing. They had some like fun cocktails that were, they looked like they were being made some fishbowl. There was a fishbowl that I, my Joe saw my eyes go to because I wanted it very bad. It was actually quite amazing how quickly, it was like radar.

Like you didn't even look in that direction. You're like, oh, there's a large amount of alcohol being poured into an unusual vessel. What's going on over there? Which is what I, I like Tiki, we went to a Tiki bar together. If you like Tiki drinks, let me tell you. I like, and we, and when I had some sort of sickness that needed it.

Hey, shout out to Kowloon's, huh? Hell yeah. Good Boston brothers there. Have you been there? No. He's never been to Kowloon's. Next time we're in Boston, we gotta go. Wow. Absolutely.

We gotta go. Emma has been, of course. How could you not? Joe was on the wall in there, why? Oh, that's amazing. We gotta go in Boston, we gotta go. Wow. Emma has been, of course. How could you not? Joe was on the wall in there, why? Oh, that's amazing. We gotta go in there, yeah. Wow. We gotta go.

So it's an insult to Joe that you haven't been. But. I take this serious. We went to a, what was the name of the tiki bar? Oh. Shameful Tiki. Shameful Tiki. And it was great.

Is that in the city? Yeah, Toronto Tiki Bar. And I had some sort of sickness that I was like, I think it was just the fog machines, which the fog machines, which means I really want to drink these drinks guys. Don't stop me. That kind of what it is, what it was. And then I had to go on antibiotics the next day. Luckily no one got sick. I was wearing a mask while I was filming. Cause the next day I felt very sad. Yeah. But anytime you mix like single malt whiskey with rum and cachaça and five other

alcohols and put it in a bill, it's going to kill anything that comes through that straw. Yeah, that is also true, which is good because we got, what was the fuck was the name of it? Barrel of blood. The barrel of blood. And Joe and I and Tyler, one of our cast mates and who else? John. And John, we all were drinking out of this.

Oh, and Andre. Oh, right, Andre. Andre, solid effort. He put a solid dent. I think he was shitfaced by the time it was done. But we were all sharing a giant drink together at this tea party. Wow.

I like a scorpion ball. I like a big drink like that. And the fish bowl looked fun. But can we also say what time of day it was? We saw these fish bowls rolling out. It was like maybe 1230 when we were just, we're done with the, Oh wait, I'm sorry. It was one, it was 1pm. It was 1pm. Okay. Not much of a difference. It's 1pm. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well that guy's adjusted to human being. 1pm fish bowls of alcohol.

Can you imagine me being less funny on this episode? Cause that's what would have happened if I drank it, I would have been, I would have been drunk. It would have been pretty hard to do. If you say so, if you say that's possible, I'll believe you. We should make a fish bowl someday on an episode and drink it and we'll see how long it takes for the slurs. She means drunk. I mean, yeah, she means slurs. To be in slurs.

Not speech. Not, careful, it's a positive. All right. Oh, what the fuck? Well, unless we're in Boston, then I don't know. That fucking Little Caesar mascot. But the Damascus, they're the real problem. Whoa.

Those Italians. Do you have a favorite weapon of what we're talking about? What are their favorite weapon of war from like the classical era? Like when they were of hop lights and, uh, and immortals at spear. Spears. Yeah. I mean, you can't go wrong with the spear. Yeah.

I mean, like if you really want to win a fight, just have a spear. Like it's just so hard to get around a large sharp pole. Right. Right. I mean, it's the simple things in life, you know? Do you have a favorite edged weapon in general? You talked about that sword earlier. I think the Calvary Saber's probably my favorite edged weapon.

You have a favorite edged weapon and you have a favorite thing to edge to? Double question. Piss, I know you like your piss edged. Oddly enough, him talking about edged weapons. But my favorite one of all time, that one, I think everybody should have one is a blow gun. Oh, they are a wonderful, they are a joyful wonder. Let me tell you, like, you don't think until you get that, you know, you got,

get several little target down there and, you know, you hear that first thump and then just the hit and you're just like, Oh, I'm addicted. I'm gonna do this all day. So I mean, yeah, the blow guns become a big thing. In fact, if you partied at my house and you got drunk, I used to have a little blow gun test where I thing. In fact, if you partied at my house and you got drunk, I used to have a little blow gun test where I'd be like, three bullseyes, otherwise you give me your keys, you're not going home. So you just see guys like, okay,

I'm going home motherfucker, you ain't telling me shit. You know, like. You have a functional blow gun. Oh yeah, absolutely. Dude, I'm telling you, prime, two days, we'll be there in a heartbeat. Isn't that, I'm afraid, cause I'm gonna get this wrong, but is like, there's that one Island that like humans,

like they're, they've been, I think it is right. It's somewhere down there that they've just been cut off from, oh yeah. It was, oh, you know, as an, as an Island in India. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they've been cut off from, from civilization forever. And they've hacked apart like three or four guys. I've tried to go out there and go like,

Hey, we come in peace, dude. Yeah. You know, they can, apart like three or four guys that have tried to go out there and go like, hey, we come in peace, dude. Yeah. You know. But I also think that they do have, I believe they have blow darts. I hope so. I mean, those things are so handy. It's fucking wild, if you think about it.

I mean, that's really crazy. I mean, think about it, what a way to die. You know, there's a bunch of poison darts. To get hit with a poison fucking dart. It's insane. That's insane to me. You should have, you should have a podcast about anthropology.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just stuff you kind of remember. Little Caesar guy one week. Yeah. Hey, buddy.

That's right Wags, I'm up here in Toronto Canada away from my helix mattress. Oh boy. Back down in the good ol' US of A, my helix mattress is in boy. Back down in the good old US of A, my Helix mattress is in Wally and Armuth's hands and you know what?

I check in on them every night, they're sleeping on my Helix mattress. I bet they're sleeping like they're having a great night's sleep. They are wise because my Helix is a Moonlight Lux. Wow. It's nice and soft, it feels like you're sleeping on a cloud.

Now my understanding, this is just a thing I've heard. If there's like a rumor that's circulating, so maybe you can just like either like affirm the truth of this or just put it to bed forever. But the rumor that's going on is that you took a quiz and Helix matched you up with your Moonlight Lux mattress. That's right, why?

Because you just go to helixsleep.com and you take the quiz and you match up with the perfect mattress, something that fits you perfectly. It's easy, it's fast, and guess what? It's delivered right to your door. And if you wanted to know, set up is easy, Wigs. You set it up and you get a hundred nights to try out your mattress or you can return it back. Now, Mitch, you know, on this podcast, I'm not afraid to have the hard questions and have the tough conversations. I have to ask you, how has your sleep improved since you've had your Helix mattress?

Wags, when I'm back home, I'm sleeping like a baby. Wow. And you know else who loves it? Wally and Irma. My mom, anytime she comes to town, I'm a good son. I go downstairs, I sleep on the couch or I sleep at her feet like a dog. Sure. And she sleeps fantastically.

She says it's the most comfortable bed in the world. Oh, I love that. I love my Helix mattress. And it seems like your Helix has been a clear upgrade from your old mattress and you can't wait to get home to it. Are you kidding me? I can't wait to get back there.

Wow. I was more excited to see the Helix than I was to see you up here. If I went to the airport and the Helix stepped off the plane, my tears would be streaming down my face. You didn't meet me at the airport. Yeah, I know. You're not my Helix.

There's an October offer for 20% off all mattress orders. That's right, 20% off all mattress orders in October. Just go to our podcast URL, helixsleep.com slash doughboys. That's helixsleep.com slash doughboys. We should get to our fork score for Boston pizza. So, Joe, you did the podcast before, but just a reminder, we will say a closing argument, if you will, and some final thoughts on this chain,

and then give it a score from zero to five forks. We begin with our guest. We'll begin with you. I think Boston Pizza is a chain and a bit of an identity crisis. Not sure whether it wants to be a sports bar, a sort of delicious bar food, or a traditional pizza parlor. I think they're losing on the traditional pizza parlor

front. So I think if they embraced their square pie, I think if they went with what was good I think if they, uh, went with what was good on their menu, eliminated a lot of chaff, they'd probably get a better score, which stands at a solid three, four. Wow. Three, fours. I think that's a good score.

You want to go? Also, this reminds me of the, uh, when we do, we had you on previously, we did, I think we'd Taco Bell eight or whatever the fuck. And, uh, same thing, just like you, you going into, to food reviewer mode is just like really something to witness. Once again, I just like to be prepared. As I'm texting, I am, I am texting notes about the show. Um, um, okay. I'll go, I'll go. You wait. Cause you want to go on. I can do this. Okay. Joe cuts promos. He's good at it. We're bad at it.

Yeah, I know. Boston pizza. Fuck. I couldn't even say Boston pizza. Boston pizza. I want to have some sort of feeling for it because it's called Boston pizza. But then why?

Cause I found out from you and I haven't listened to your intro just from us talking to each other that there is no affiliation with Boston. It just is a name that he said, I don't know, Boston Pizza. That kind of bums me out a little bit, but I still love Boston. I love the city of Boston. I like that it's called Boston Pizza. Boston. I like that it's called Boston pizza. I, I want to like a place like this. It just is so kind of down the middle of the road that she's pizza really brought the score down. Oh yeah. Because then I was just like, Oh, so this is the base for every pizza here.

What we got is kind of a special pizza, but Wags, I'll say this, that Buffalo chicken pizza Wags is a four four pizza. Yeah. Right. Good pizza. Close to a four four pizza at least. It's good. In consideration. For what it is, it's good. Um, and I feel like that's like a, it feels like a fun place where you could watch the, you know, the, the UFC fight or something that they were promoting on the- Why are you pointing at me? Like I don't want those super chat over here. Jesus Christ. I'm gonna lie.

Well, I can't point to him. It's a place where you could come and watch a Baldur's gate stream, I guess. I'm listening. Oh, hey. I like the pizza parlor vibe. I just, when your sauce is that bad I just don't know what to do. I think I'm gonna go handholding club wags. I think it's a three forker right right right down the middle Wow, I don't think honestly, this is our experience. I think people have had Boston pizza and don't like it

But our experience today was decent. It wasn't bad. It wasn't a bad time I've had pizza pizza and I actually did like pizza pizza But our experience today was decent. It wasn't bad, it wasn't a bad time. I've had pizza pizza and I actually did like pizza pizza, just their regular cheese pizza more. Mars is making a face, like she's, it's, but. I feel like you don't have any actual loyalties to either of these. No, I haven't been to Boston pizza in like over a decade,

so I can't give any review, but pizza pizza just tastes like cardboard to me and I just don't recommend it to anyone. Yeah. I was at the CNE, and I had a mozzarella hot dog. This is the Canadian National Expo, the X, they call it. This is like kind of like a equivalent of a state fair. Yeah, yeah.

And I ate basically a big mozzarella stick in a bun with pepperonis on the side of it with marinara sauce on top. Dude, you must have peed forever after that one. I was peeing the next few days. You know what? I couldn't pee. I was like, oh, I like this. This is like kind of fun. And then I had the pizza and reminded me of old Domino's and this kind of evoked old dominoes or old pizza hut in a way. But the sauce is just bad. It's a downright bad sauce right down the middle.

Three forker. Mitch, I wonder if you'll adjust your score after this. 20, May 29th, 2011. Some Vancouver Canucks fans joined that if their team met the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup final, they would boycott Boston pizza simply because of the name. The Canadian restaurant never gave them the chance. Within 15 minutes of the Bruins advancing to the final, Boston Pizza updated its website

and became Vancouver Pizza. A Canucks logo appeared along with a message that said, Proud Fans. New signage has been ordered for all of the franchise's BC restaurants along with stickers for the pizza boxes. The Vancouver Pizza name will remain for all of the franchise's BC restaurants along with stickers for the pizza boxes. The Vancouver pizza name will remain the length of the series. It's not the first time the restaurant has tried such a gimmick. They did it with the Montreal Canadians earlier. They have no loyalty to Boston.

They have no loyalty to that city. Fuck this place. On behalf of all New England, fuck this. These sons of bitches will not get away with this heresy. I fucking agree. They'll happily take the Boston branding when it's convenient to them, but they'll flip at the drop of a hat

to pander to Canadians. You motherfuckers. Judas is, Wags. Anyway, I agree with the three forks consensus, honestly. It's like, this was like a pretty, like I'd call this a pretty boring dough boy's meal. We went in there and we were like, you know, Great company, great fun.

Great company, had a good time, but as far as the food is concerned, a lot of this was just kind of down the middle. Even the cheese pizza wasn't terrible. It was just kind of disappointing. I drank three diapepsis, which does explain my long pee. Oh, yes, yes. Yeah, there you go. That'll do it.

That did it. We did though, we did it and have the thing that I've had this experience like four separate times up here and I keep forgetting that when you order an iced tea in Canada, you get a sweetened iced tea. Oh yes. I was expecting an unsweetened iced tea and then we get this thing just loaded with artificial lemon flavor and sugar.

Look, if you drive to the Hammer, Cowabunga Pizza, fantastic. I'm sure. North of Brooklyn Pizzeria we had, fantastic. I love North of Brooklyn. And there's other pizza spots we can't even get into. Pizzeria Baggiali, we can't even get in there Wow. Yeah, it's too hot of a ticket It's it's there's a line every time I go down the block Wow Yeah

but there and there was even more great pizza spots up and up in the hammer that we didn't even have but So it's kind of a bummer in a food that Toronto has great food pizza and pizza is your favorite food Please don't have like a not great version of it, I'm sure is always a little disappointing. North of Brooklyn is great. I love North of Brooklyn. You haven't had, been able to get it yet, but you should try it.

That's in the city? Yeah. Okay. We might try to hit Lee Restaurant tonight. Maybe we'll see what happens. Wow, okay. It's great. We're in the Handholding Club here,

three forks all around, right down the middle for Boston pizza. And why would you ever go to Boston pizza if you're in Toronto? It makes, there's good pizza to be had here. And I think some people say that's the newer thing, but Pizzeria Bagioli has been around for a while. We haven't had it yet, but supposedly that's really good.

I mean, the reason to go is cause it's open till like midnight or whatever. You know, it's like, it's cause it's a great late night option and cause it's got a lot of TVs and it's got alcohol, you know? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Three forks all around for Boston pizza. It's time for a segment.

We've got a food stuff. We're gonna decide if you should put it in your mouth. It's Snack or Wack. And we have, I believe some Maynard's gummies. Is that correct? Yeah, in that cubby right there. Pull these out. Oh, break them out. Maynard.

Maynard. Next one. Maynard. Is Maynard a guy? Maynard's gummies. Oh, break them out. Maynard. Maynard. Is Maynard a guy? Maynard's gummies. Oh right, he's the guy from, the lead singer from Too Cool. Maynard James Keenan. We've got two varietals here.

We've got Fuzzy Peach and we've got Swedish Berries. Now I'm gonna come into these with a little... By the way, these both sound like sexual things, like some dirty guy at a bar would say the 1920s. Ah! I got some real Swedish berries on me. Take my best gal to the box social, then I'll give her the old fuzzy peach.

Let me open these up. Now here's the thing, I'm trying not to get these, this crinkling too close to the microphone for people with mesophonia. I have a- Fake. It's real, mesophonia is real, as we've been reminded. The thing is that I've said before that gummy ain't yummy.

I'm coming to, that's just my personal thing. I don't really love the gummy textures for candies, but I'm coming to cut these with an open mind because I've heard some really good things about the Maynards. Marsha, do you like the Maynards at all? I do, I had no idea they were Canadian, but the fuzzy peaches were some of my favorite

Halloween candy to get as a kid. Oh wow, particularly the fuzzy peaches. Do you have any other flavors of note? Oh thank you. No, Swedish berries are good too. I think the fuzzy peaches are like a little bit sour and I just, I like a little sour gummy. Okay.

Yeah, I'll try to get some additional context on Maynards real quick. I am reading the Wikipedia and it says that they were a British confectionary manufacturer that was purchased by Cadbury in the 90s. So they maybe aren't Canadian, but you can't get these in the States. You know what's interesting is that so many of the beloved, so many of the beloved Canadian candies are like from the UK

and then there's weird rules or in some cases like an actual like Legal agreement that has been struck between Hershey's and other chocolate tears to prevent them them from being imported in the US You can't even get them Cat embargo KitKat bar. Yeah. Yeah, it's a real thing. It's a real thing. All right. I'm gonna try some of these fuzzy peaches I got a fucked up fuzzy peach here. Um Joe know what I'm gonna try some of these fuzzy peaches. I got a fucked up fuzzy peach here. Joe, know what I'm realizing? Our, the, what's it called? The catering on our show gives us,

they do the fuzzy peaches. They're in our, they come around with like little cups of gummies, like sour gummies. And I think the fuzzy peaches are in there. They are in there. And you know what? Stephanie mentioned on stage the other night that the Maynards wine gums are really good, which I did not grab, but apparently those are pretty popular.

And you saw them and you said they looked horrible. Amelia and I saw wine gums at the store and we were like, so like gummies that taste like wine? That sounds fucking gross. So we didn't get it, but apparently they're pretty good. Mars, do you know the wine gums? A little bit. We didn't really get it too much on Halloween, which is how I know most of my candy.

Right, right. I think they're pretty good. I love these though, these are great. Yeah, I will say that again, just with someone who doesn't usually love gummy, these are pretty delicious. I actually like those quite a bit. The sweetest berries I like too,

but they are harder to eat. They're getting stuck in my teeth. I love these fudgy peaches. I love peach rings and that reminds me of that. It's very peachy. But it's almost like a step up from a peach ring. There's a little bit more sour on it than a peach ring. Yeah.

This happened on set too. They were like, they were like, do you have sour kids? And I was like, are you saying, I thought they were, Jenny, the makeup lady was saying, who works in the makeup department, the makeup lady, I sound like a child, Jenny, who works in the makeup

department. Old lady makeup. She was talking to the director man. All right, I fucked up. But she was like, have you, and I thought she was saying sour kids. I was like, is she saying. But she was like, have you, and I thought she was saying sour-key-ds. I was like, is she saying Sour Patch Kids weird, saying sour-key-ds?

And she was like, no, sour-keys. You know sour-keys and I don't know sour-keys. I guess that is a Canadian thing. Mars is nodding, she knows. Yeah, it's like a key shaped gummy that's much more sour than the current fuzzy. And that's, and you can get them in like bulk basically too, but I did not know and I had some Sour Keys, pretty decent.

I mean, Sour Patch Kids are goated gummies, I would say, but the Sour Keys were decent. And these are why, you know, you've had, I love the watermelon Sour Patch Kids, and these fuzzy peaches kind of, you know, close to that. I don't know, I'm not feeling the Swedish berries. I don't love them. Yeah. These taste like like chewable cough medicine.

They're very medicine-y. That comparison. It's too close because it's pretty spot on. That's the sweet cherry lozenges lately. Yeah. They're just hard to eat. Yeah. Yeah. This is this is the thing is just like, I think the form factor. So for audio listeners, it's kind of like more of like

a disc sort of shape. Kind of like the shape of the planet we live on is kind of like how the peach ones are. You're saying flat? Yeah, kind of just totally flat. Yeah. And then the- Thank God somebody else believes.

And then it's more of a mountain or like a thimble, uh, for the, the, the Swedish berries. And so that, that just made, it's a lot more gummy to just chew through. It really gets mashed in your molars. I don't, I found this pretty unpleasant to eat, but this one I like quite a bit. I'd say one, one snack, one whack, a definite snack for the fuzzy peach and a whack for the Swedish. I'd say definite snack for the fuzzy peach, but I would say light

Snack for the other you still like it. No, I'm saying snacking whack on the berries. Mm-hmm. I'm already stand Definite snack on the peach. I'm probably gonna get a bag of those to bring home I'm the berry. It's not bad. I don't know that I would pick it myself But if that was all that was there, I'd probably still eat them. They're not bad They do stick to my teeth more the peach does which I don't love snack I would pick it myself, but if that was all that was there, I'd probably still eat them. They're not bad. They do stick to my teeth more than the peach does, which I don't love. Snack and whack for you. Yeah.

That's about all I have time for when I get home from shooting. All right, here we go. There's one more thing. Well, I have a little treat. Oh, right, you're right. First of all, there's this fun napkin that says, "'Doughboy's podcast, please don't eat, thank you,'

which I loved, Emma. That's Amelia making sure that the food we left here for the past few days didn't get taken. Oh, I thought that was a note from the studio to us for their food. That would be good. No, the guy was just wearing that. Yeah.

He was afraid we were going to fucking swallow him whole. Hey, Spoonman and Doughboyz crew, I got these lollipops from the San Diego Comic-Con. Hope they satisfy your sweet tooth. Wow. Thanks for all the laughs, love Becker. At Becker, Inc. B-E-C-K-E-R-I-N-K

on the DoughScore. Wow, thanks Becker. So here we go. D K E R I N K on the dough scord. Wow, thanks Becker. So here we go. There's two of them. And Joe and Weiger, you're gonna lick one side each, like you said, Joe. Whoop, whoop, whoop.

Got this dog. Do me a favor and take a picture of that real quick when you open it. Yeah, of course. Also, I just realized that these Swedish berries kind of remind me of, you know, dots, the candy dots. Oh, yeah. That's kind of the texture of them, the way they like stick to your molars and you like

can't get it off. That's what it's for my taste. Oh, you mean the Halloween candy you got from the shitty house? Yeah. So these are really cool lollipops. Yeah. Can you get one on the, hold one up to camera, Mitch? Mars is going to zoom in here. They're beautiful. Yeah, that's really cool lollipops. Yeah, can you get one on the, hold one up to camera, Mitch? Mars is gonna zoom in here.

They're beautiful. Yeah, that's really cool looking. And this was a twisted, was this was a twisted metal promotion, was that at this year's Comic-Con? I believe so, yes. Wow. So here we go. Are lollipops good?

There's a question for you, are lollipops good? Mitch, I think you just cracked a double-boys double topic. Are lollipops good? Are lollipops good? Joe, think you just cracked a doughboys double topic our lolly. Pop's good. Our lolly pops good Joe You'll come back for that, right? Let's see wrestle in front of like a hundred like two hundred thousand people live or Come on doughboys and lick a lollipop All right, are you ever are we not able to get these open? We're trying not to shatter.

Yes, right, right, right. The lollipop. But yeah, these things are locked up tight. We can stop for a second to open if we want. Is it worth it? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, listen, this is far more entertaining than anything we're going to say.

All right. We got them open. We got our lollies open. Thanks, Emma. Thanks, Emma. And here we go. Wow, it really is like babysitting. Yeah. You can see us on set. You know what? I'll say this. Sweet Tooth and Stew, they always know they can put us last and we'll knock it out of the park. Yes, that's what we do. They're like we got 10 minutes left let's put sweet tooth and stew in there and you know we fucking yeah in that 10 minutes we make some magic bud. We have we definitely do Wags. Wow. Yeah we just say this we feel better about our shitty shooting schedule. Here you go. I'm taking a picture. Mitch is getting some pics. Wigs are in the background.

Oh, it's focused on wigs. Here, go ahead. You can give your thumbs up again. All right, here we go. A little taste of these lollipops. All right, Mitch and Joe are giving this some licks. Pretty good. Is it cotton candy?

I think it's strawberry cotton candy. Oh, fun. That is a good lolly. Wow, fun. That is a good lolly. Wow, okay. That is a good lolly. Cancel the Doughboy's double episode, we cracked it. That's a delicious lollipop. Yeah.

Lollipops are good. You don't have to come back. All right. Ooh, got that one out of the way. Snack. That's actually, yeah, that's a snack. That's a. Yeah. Snack. I'll give it. That's actually, yeah, that's a snack. That's a snack.

Thank you very much. This is lovely. Does it feel odd at all to, even though it's a cartoon version of, to be eating something with your own head on it? Ah. It's actually kind of a dream of mine, so. I'm gonna be right here.

I mean, if I can consume a bowl of me every day. I'll be right there. Yeah. Just like a restaurant, we've got your feedback. Let's open up the feedback. Today we have an email from Steve S. Steve writes, with the release of ANW's Ruffle Teen Burger, I had, by the way, I had the ANW Canada Crunch Buddy Burger,

which is the equivalent of the Teen Crunch Burger, which has sour cream and cheddar ruffles on it. And it was delightful. What fast food entree or sandwich would be best plus up with a snack food, E.G. Doritos Locos Tacos, or Mount Rushmore of Canadian Prime Ministers? Thanks, love the show.

I think we'll go with the first one, because the first one I think is a little bit more on topic. Unless you wanna talk. They gave us two questions? Yeah, the second question, or as a second option, we're gonna do our Mount Rushmore of Canadian Prime Ministers. Yeah, let's stick with the snack question, or as a second option, is we're gonna do our Mount Rushmore of Canadian prime ministers.

Yeah, let's stick with the snack question. Who was the one that was like, who was the guy who was kind of crazy? He wasn't a prime minister. He was the mayor of the city. Oh, he's the mayor. His brother is now, right? Isn't his brother Ford?

Yeah, Rob Ford. Robert Ford. Yeah. So he can't go on the prime minister thing. I don't know. I don't know, I mean, he could. Let's put both Ford brothers up there. Yeah. And then Trudeau. And then twice.

And then, yeah. Put the Ford brothers up there twice. Yeah, great, we're done. Okay, this is one of those things, because we see this all the time now. Taco Bell has been doing with the Cheez-It now, and they put the Fritos in the taco at a certain point, or the burrito at a certain point.

I think that menu item has been discontinued. Is there a specific snack food that has not yet been explored that we'd like to see in some fast food menu item? I mean, look, I feel like Funyuns could add some texture to something. I feel like if you do like a Funyun, like this is the thing that I feel like-

I got it, I got it. I got an idea. Go for it. Oh, say what you want. I was gonna say if you did like a Funyun crusted like chicken, like if you did something like that, like I feel like that's like the next frontier is like, we're gonna find out a way to use these snack foods

in a way where like in the Doritos Locos, we're just using the Doritos Locos powder on the shell. If we're like, okay, we're gonna take a, we're gonna crumple up like cheese it or something, although that's already been done and then use that to like batter, you know, Popeye's chicken wing and see what that's like. But like a salt and vinegar chip in that way.

Hey, that's not bad at all. Salt and vinegar leg. Or even like pickle chips. I love that. Would be kind of good on like a fried chicken. Yeah, those Miss Vicky's hot pickle chips, those are not bad. Is this changing taste?

I think it is, man, that's kinda weird. It's like not strawberry. Why is my vision getting all blurry? Is the pink side strawberry and the other side different? You're like there man, but you're not there. We're drugging you and making you do another episode. I, yeah, it is definitely changing tastes. Funyuns, you know what you could do?

Put those bad boys over a hot dog. That's a lot of fun. Yeah. Perfect. It fits perfectly. It's fun. It's fun. How about this? Taki Bel Grande.

Oh, I love that. It works so well. That's great. That works fantastically. Yeah. That is not invented by me accidentally dropping a soft taco on a bunch of Takis, I promise. Also, that's like a strong crunch, which I love that, which they did for a while.

Taco Bell had Fritos in their burritos. Yes. I mentioned that. Yeah. And I don't remember when that got discontinued, but it was pretty recently. That sounded Seinfeldian. Fritos in the burritos. It did.

It did sound Seinfeldian. But I like Takis and I like the coating of butter. I like the coating of butter. I like the coating of butter. I like the coating of butter. I like the coating of butter. I like the coating of butter. I like the coating of butter. um, I like Takis and I like the coating of, but I think salt and vinegar. And I'm trying to think what it would be like when I was at the X, there was a place that did, and I wish I remember the name of it, I will remember it at some

point, but there was a place that did, uh, Coco crispy, uh crispy battered chicken tenders. Oh, that's fun. Yeah, and I'm like, would it be good to batter, would it like to use the salt and vinegar chips as batter? You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. That could work well. Or I think like pickle chips,

cause it would almost give you like the taste of a pickle on your sandwich in a way. So it might be a good combo. You know what I'd like to see more of is like, I feel like Nilla wafers are such a great cookie and we see Oreos and everything, but like throw some Nilla wafers in something, you know? Like how about, why don't we see like a Nilla wafer shake

on like a bunch of different menus, you know? They use them in banana pudding. They use them in banana pudding. So like a- Nilla wafer banana shake? There you go, there you go. That feels like a natural fit for like a Johnny Rockets or a Five Guys or something, I don't know.

Is us licking our lollies distracting? No, it's great. How about now? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm doing it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Bars, you get a snack food that you like, like a particular one, like a, one that you just like, like have often. Do you have like a go-to? Is there something like a Cheez-It or like a, like a Ruffles, like something that you have frequently?

Or are you not much of a snacker? No, I like to go for like a dry, I only eat snacks when I'm gaming. And so I need something that's not too cheesy, something that will leave my fingers clean. And so usually that's like a wafer snack, like a Japanese wafer snack is what I eat. Oh, okay, wait, what specifically?

I have no idea. I get it from like the Galleria. Yeah, the Korean grocery store. And there's just these like kind of like, almost like a Belgian waffle little cracker snack, and they're very good to use while gaming. You're just playing like Overwatch 2? Overwatch 2, yes.

Oh, I got one. All Dressed Calamari. Oh my God. Wow. That sounds delightful. I love it. I love it. All Dressed, I like All Dressed chips quite a bit.

I don't know what's in that lolly, but it's working. I know. I'm feeling food smarter by the way. Also three gamers right here. How about that? Mitch, you're excluding yourself from this because you're trying to say you're a lapsed gamer, but I think you're going to get back on the horse.

I think you're going to have a little more time and you have some stuff to play. Yeah. Listen, you need to stop writing that screenplay and just start playing video games.

by director Francis Ford Coppola. What's crazy about this film is it features a character portrayed by Aubrey Plaza named Wow Platinum. Now here in the Doughboys podcast, we say wow all the time. And the highest honor you can receive is to get five forks all around and enter the platinum play club. So wow platinum to me, that reads as a reference

to the Doughboys, which makes me think that Francis Ford Coppola listens to Doughboys and hey, that makes a lot of sense because we're a Coppola goofballs.

And we're here interrupting your workout to tell you about the La Morning After podcast, now on HeadGum. That's right. Every Wednesday a new episode drops and we...

Wait, La Morning... What are you doing over there? It's nothing. Just polishing my Emmy. Why? Because we're now the only official HeadGum podcast hosted by an Emmy winner. Is that true? Probably not.

But Jake Johnson's on HeadGum. Does he have an Emmy? No. But he has been a guest on the The Morning After. Which might be an even bigger honor. And we have other amazing guests like Glenn Powell, Raven Simone, the cast of New Girl, and many, many more. Plus, we play games, we tell stories, we poll the fans. For questions. We poll them for questions, yes, Steve. Just polling them constantly. Up and down, sideways, backwards. It's a lot less weird than it sounds.

You'll see. Subscribe to them the morning after on Spotify, Apple podcasts, pocket casts, or wherever you get your podcasts and watch video episodes on YouTube. New episodes drop every Wednesday. That was a hate gum podcast.
