It's in the cap. Aristotle Sir Isaac Newton Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Richard Moran. The word genius is generally reserved for towering figures of arts and science whose influence endures today. But in 2019 author Danny Gallagher gave the title genius to his biography of Moran, the founder of Canadian rotisserie chain Swiss Chalet and its sister brand, a burger and poutine shop famed for its customizability. A native of Montreal and the son of a Swiss immigrant, Moran moved from his French-dominant

home city to the English-speaking Toronto in 1954, where, at the age of 20, he opened the first Swiss Chalet location, modeled after the Chalet BBQ restaurant he worked at in Quebec. Swiss Chalet was a quick hit, and so in 1959 he plotted his follow-up, a burger stand emulating then successful American Midwest chain Henry's Hamburgers. Moran's original name for his North of the Border Cheeseburger clone was Humphreys, but when a closed car dealership lot became available with an already standing logo featuring a different

two-syll syllable H name. The enterprising Montrealer took it as a sign. Literally. Using the existing marquee to birth an enduring beef brand. Building on the established quality of Swiss chalet, Moran's chain also introduced then-innovative burger customizability, in time offering 11 sauces and 14 toppings for customers to choose from. A model borrowed by American chains like Five Guys. Private to a fault, Moran always kept the spotlight on his food, not himself. He was so

personally guarded that when he died in hospital following complications from surgery in 2022, his family kept it a secret for two full years before the press discovered it. But his legacy will live on, both through Swiss Chalet and through his burger restaurant which has nearly 300 locations, about 90 of which are co-branded with the rotisserie concept. And whether he was indeed deserving of the genius moniker, perhaps it would take a genius to calculate every possible permutation of his chain's burger options. 67 million, according to the company.

This week on Doughboys, we continue Torrent Dough, Dough Canada, The Great Bite North, a month-long culinary tour of the six, with Harvey's. Welcome to Doughboyz, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, along with my co-host. Today's Tums Sawyer, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. What? It's the Rush song. The Rush song. Oh, today's Tums Sawyer, the Spoon Man Mike Mitchell. What? It's the Rush song. It's the Rush song, yeah. Oh, today's Tums.

You didn't get the Rush reference at the live show either. Wait, last night was a Rush reference? YYZ, it's a Rush song. It's a Rush song, yeah. I'm gonna send you a Rush Starter Pack playlist and I'm gonna put something together for you. Jono, the co-actor on the show.

Yes. I almost said co-star, but that sounds, I didn't like the way that sounded. I didn't like saying co-star. Yeah. But it's technically correct, co-star. Co-star on the show, great, I love him. I met him last night, lovely man.

Great guy. Yeah. He had put that in a story, our show in a story, it was the Rush song, I was like, oh, I never heard it before. Oh, that's nice. That's cool. Yeah, it's a great song. We're coming off the live show. We are coming off the live.

Look, here's the thing. We are here at Podium Studios in Toronto. If you've seen the video feed before, you might be seeing some unfamiliar confines here. This is a different setup, a similar tableau, but a different space in a different city. Thanks to Mo here at Podium Studios for hooking us up. And also, one of course shout out Emma Erdbrink, Amelia Marino for helping us out.

But also, super producer Mars Melnick, Toronto's own is here sitting in to help us all. Saving our lives. Yeah, to help us all figure out this city and figure out this unfamiliar space. Mars, it's a true Toronto show. We got Mars here. Yes. This is great. Yeah.

You know what? I was very hard on Toronto last night. Yeah. I liked the, it was the first few weeks that I was tough on Toronto and I was being mean to it in text with you. Yeah, you just text me like, I hate Toronto. Toronto sucks. Yes. Toilet City.

Meaner stuff, even that we said before the episode started. Right. Which we won't get into. We're not gonna say it. We're not gonna get into who wishes 9-11 happened to. Did I say Osama was alone outside? Yes. I do not wish disasters upon any city to be clear,

and especially Toronto. I like Toronto quite a bit. It's a lot, look, I have been here for, have I now been here for 24 hours? I've been here for 24 hours. I think I actually just hit the 24 hour mark versus when my plane landed and we did the live show and now we're in the studio and I've eaten

three Canadian chain restaurants. That's a testament to Toronto. But I went from wishing a 9-eleven on it or 9-eleven being in Toronto to, well we'll cut a lot of this, to me liking the city a lot. I do enjoy the city a lot. This is what I was saying, I've been walking around, I've been taking the metro, I've taken the Choo Choo, I'm having a a lot. This is what I was gonna say, I've been walking around, I've been taking the Metro, I've taken the Choo Choo, I'm having a lovely time. It is a reasonably walkable city, at least where we are. Good food? Good food, yeah, yeah.

Is there a good chamber restaurant? That's what we're gonna find out. We're gonna get into it. Today's Tom Sawyer, a play on the way Mitch pronounces mum and a line from the famous Canadian band Rush's song, Tom Sawyer, as well as Mitch's GI problems often related to the podcast. Love the show as always, and very much looking forward

to season two of Twisted Metal. Wow. Fitting for our guests, congrats to the spoonie, McClain, roastedbirdfuck.com. Was that McClain? McClain. Yeah, we know McClain. Yeah. Yeah. Well, is it the same McClain? I don't know.

My guess is yes. You think so? From the Doe score, my guess is that's who it is. Okay. Speaking of, well, there- Could be John McClane. I don't think it's John McClane. I mean, in what way?

I don't know. You mean Bruce Willis? Hold on, PS, now I have a machine gun. All right. That does sound like John McClane. I'm curious. I want to talk about because I'm still I'm still buzzing about Megalopolis. I want to talk about Megalopolis, but I don't know if our guest has seen it. We'll sit on the Megalopolis for it seems like I saw it at TIFF. Yeah, a few weeks ago to two or three weeks ago in Toronto, TIFF, the Toronto International Film Festival.

That's correct, Wags. Marsha, you ever go to Tiff? I worked. You worked here? Wow. Yeah, I'm like during the festival, I'm a videographer for their in-studio sessions, very similar to this right now. Wow.

Did you have a favorite session you sat in on? Yeah, I got to sit in for Guillermo del Toro. Whoa. And it was so cool. This was kind of like a private thing. He came in at like 7 p.m. to film it. And my favorite thing was that there was like this very young goth girl, like who accompanied him,

like very, very young, full goth outfit, makeup, all that. And I was really wondering, I was like, is this his like girlfriend or something? Like, who is she? And then after the session, I just like asked her, I was like, oh, like, how do you know Guillermo? And she's like, oh, that's my dad. I was like, oh, so cool. Oh my God? And she's like, oh, that's my dad. I was like, oh, so cool.

Oh my god, of course she has a god's daughter. Yeah, so that was my favorite session to do. That rocks. That was so fun. And she's like, this is my boyfriend. It was like a fish guy. The way of water. Is that what it is, or is it the shape of water? It's the shape of water.

What is the way of water? The way of water is Avatar 2. There was a big conversation on set cause Jono, who I loved didn't like Avatar. And then I got the show runner to pretend to fire him over it. And then the show runner was like, I felt really bad doing that. MJ who's been on the show. Yeah. Wait, what did, did, how did Jon John Oh react? John was like, Wait, what? And he was like, So it wasn't even fun.

I was in the corner like dying. I loved it. He's upset to other people. He said he was like, he said he was like, he said he was like 20% sad. He said he was like, he said he was like 20% sad. Grow the fuck up, Johnno. Grow up. Twisted Metal Season 2 coming, and this is even, it's not even Twisted Monthal 2. That's right. We're not there yet.

This is, this is Torontio, which is a different thing. I think it would be Twisted Monthal 1. Twisted Monthal 2. Hmm. I think we Twisted Monthal 1. Twisted Monthel 2. Hmm. I think we Twisted Monthel 0, honestly, because we never got to 1. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

Yeah, Twisted Monthel 1 got canceled. Yes, Twisted Monthel 1. Part 2. Part 1. Wait, Twisted Monthel 2. Twisted Monthel, oh fuck. I think you go back to 0 now. I think you can reset.

I think we figure this out in a few months. Yeah, we don't have to do this right now because right now we are in the midst of Toront Doe, which is a month of Canadian chain restaurants. Toront Doe, Doe Canada. Twisted Monthal One, Season Two. Yeah, that works. That works, all right.

Yeah. Okay. It's like how Treehouse of Horrors lagged behind one year of Simpson Seasons. I know. They gotta fix that. They should just do two one year. They should do two one year of Simpson seasons. I know they gotta fix that. They should just do to one year. There you go. Selman, Selma, do to one year. One year. I remember I will take care of one of them. I texted Selman. Yeah. And I was

like, Hey, and I've never done this before. I was like, Hey, you should put these people on the Simpsons and he like didn't respond. I was like, I think you get this request a lot to put people on the Simpsons and he never responded back. And I realized that like, it's probably annoying to just tell someone to put someone in a show. Yeah. Well, I mean, also your list was like Kevin Spacey. Did he cause me? It would be a funny episode. Cosby. It would be a funny episode. If Kevin Spacey played like a new neighbor,

like American beauty or something. Oh, that is a good idea. Has he ever guessed it? He must have guessed it. Probably like 15 years ago. He must have been on it. That's a great question. I'll open Springfield.

Selman, get him back. Get him back. I was watching horrible bosses one and two and I thought Spacey is such a big part of the Horrible Bosses universe. That is wild. Yeah. Yeah.

A horrible boss in a different way than characterized. I know. I know. That's true. What are you doing? I'm looking for, I'm just seeing, I'm looking at the, with Simpson's wiki. See if Kevin Spacey's ever been on it. Howdy hoes. Salute ho to Nation Kelly-air.

That's, that is, that's this one's thing. Salute ho, Nation Kelly-air. Let's hit him with a drop, Emma Wall-Wiger, uh, binges. Look, I know the podcast joke is I'm a dumb guy, I'm smarter than so many of you fucking idiots! Ha ha ha! This is right. Wasn't there a thing where the Millennium Falcon was supposed to fly across some part of the park or something,

or is that... I don't know what you're talking about. No, the Millennium Falcon doesn't fly around outside. Hey, you piece of shit! I was saying maybe it's on a rail or something. Yeah We don't have to get into it we're not gonna relitigate a Jedi right now Mitch wants me to admit that I am somehow lying about my fandom of the last Jedi and then like during the movie like Princess Leia flew I was like what like I mean, I was so angry screen

There's no I wish I never said my opinion on class Jedi. It's just bad it never helps I'm just going to let Sis get me when we're going around to see it. That's my thought about Last Jedi. Oh my god. You know what? Maybe Last Jedi is good. You piece of shit. I felt... I felt it happening. I could tell you were looking for the email and you said it private.

I looked for the email. I was like, there's no email. I was like, there's a lot of last Jedi talk. The email spoiled too much. I didn't say anything. Really good drop. That was great. Who sent that in? All right. Here, I'll read the email now that it's been spoiled. You? Hey Mitch, Nick, Sean, and the rest of the crew, sending this drop with no outside influence whatsoever.

It just felt like Sean Distin might be on this episode and a drop in this style of Rudy Norris comedy bang bang recap practically made itself. Sean, what's your favorite scene in The Last Jedi? Mitch, please let him speak, love DK. Mm. Drop king. Wow, the drop king himself.

Wow, the drop king. Crafting a drop. Well, my favorite scene in The Last Jedi, I feel like it's probably when they get to Canto Bight. Oh my god. It's just a really good part. We have both now talked about renting out a theater to watch Last Jedi and then discuss it.

And then do like a presidential style debate where we go at it. I would love to. Lay of flies. That'd be quite a live stream. I would love to watch that. So Mitch, that is you saying that the Last Jedi is actually good. You took something in one of my weakest moments where I was questioning everything in my life and so I was questioning everything in my life. Can we bring something up?

Because this has happened since we've stopped recording, since our recording hiatus. You saw a movie you dislike as much or maybe more than Last Jedi. It was a movie I also disliked. I'm not sure if you want to disclose that on the podcast or not. Alien Romulus, I didn't like it at all.

I did not like a care for Alien Romulus. I thought it was really grotesque, the way they used Ian Holmes reanimated, you know, like a ghostly visage as the android. I just really hated it. And I saw some of the effects works. I talked about it on the podcast. It's well done. They do a great job, but there was...

So what did you not like about it, Mitch? About Alien Romance? Alien Romance. There was, first of all, I didn't love the Ian Holm stuff. I also think that there was, to me, there was like no sense of like space and scale. Like, it just felt like, oh my God, we're running away and then we're gone. And then if you think about aliens, it's like Sigourney Weaver, like working her way through like these big ship sets.

And like, you feel like, you feel like this is an actual ship. And there it was like, I didn't like that. I thought the actors were, the actors aren't bad, but I thought the characters were unlikable. Just completely unlikable characters. Can I be ages for a second? We'll see a bunch of fucking kids fighting aliens. Yeah, get the fucking kids out of there.

Get me an old craggy character actor. Stranger Things has done so much damage those fucking little shit. I hate all those little fucking kids Interesting every fucking what's his name? What a what a what the fucking wolf are film wolf hard Doesn't make me hard. Okay. She's not wait a minute I'm really glad that that's where that was going. Oh my God. Maybe I don't need you to like the last Jedi. He's over 18, right? We're fine. I'm saying he doesn't get me excited. The kids don't get me excited. I don't care about these kids. There's some

good young kids out there. I'm just saying specifically the Alien franchise for me, I want like, you know, I want like Ian Holm. I want like I want like someone like Edward James almost. I want someone who's so you feel like you've lived a life. You're someone out here who's been like, you know, and I know he was he was in a different, a totally different Balancer Galactic, a totally different space franchise, sci-fi franchise, but you know, you know what I mean? Like someone who feels like they've lived a life. They've been out on these frigates. You know, they've been mining on remote colonies and they're trying to survive versus like, I don't know, I just feel like to me,

that's baked into what's interesting about the franchise. I agree, and also I think that every movie before it had done similar ideas better. Alien Resurrection does a similar thing that where there's like a hybrid alien. Yeah, sure. There's just every movie, like there was so much stuff from past movies that was done. So you're saying they were sort of obsessed with the past?

Oh my god. Because ultimately I feel like they should just let the past die. Oh my god. Yeah, honestly. Kill it if they have to. That's a great point. Dear god. You gonna light something on fire, go for it.

This is what I've been doing with Mitch is I've been starting conversations with him and then sort of inserting Last Jedi lines. He's inceptioning me. I'm inceptioning him into liking this stuff. During the season of Intuition Metal, I've been saying Last Jedi lines accidentally on set. And we're like, you know what? Roll with that, man.

Keep going. What's the Yoda line? We are what we grow beyond. Oh my god. That is the true burden of all masters. You're a good writer. I've read your scripts. You're a good writer.

I know. You should respect my opinion. I thought you were going to say respect I know, you should respect my opinion. I thought you were gonna say respect my authority. You should respect my authority. Well, I said this before. It's like the Jimmy Buffett song. Finns to the left, Finns to the right. There's too many Finns.

Get them out of the movies. The little kids, they don't belong in the movies. I don't care. I don't know if the Finns thing, the Jimmy Buffett thing works as well. You stick with Finns and doesn't get my dick hard. I mean, there's a Finn I like and he's played by John Boyega. Oh, there you go. You didn't like Alien Romulus either.

You did not like it. No, I said I was a stinker. I really did not like Alien Romulus. Yeah, that was those are my movie. I've heard good and bad either. You disliked it. You thought I was a stinker. I really did not like Alien Romulus. Yeah, that was one of those famous people. All right, all you guys did was get over there? If I was a movie, I've heard good and bad things about it. Yeah, I didn't love it. I saw it with a director from our show.

I want out the person that I saw it with and they did not like it at all. Drops at birdfuck.com if you wanna send in your future Last Jedi compilation. Our guest today, writer and producer on Twisted Metal and Peacock. Finn had so much potential as a character. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fucking wasted. Yeah, yeah. Who do you think wasted it? The fucking, I mean, every director that. Okay, okay. I mean, who do you think wasted it? Eh, nah, I just think there's an opportunity in the third one. Guy picks up a fucking lightsaber,

becomes a Jedi, they could have done it. Rise of Skywalker is debacle. Yeah. That movie's awful. You could say the whole trilogy is maybe a mess. It makes the whole, yes, you're right. It's kind of the exquisite corpse model of like no one, there was no continuity between individual movies,

so you don't evaluate them on their own. But like the third one in particular, not just destroys that trilogy, but destroys the entire franchise. There's new messes to talk about. There are new messes to talk about. Megalopolis. Man, I talk about. Megalopolis. Man, I wanna talk about Megalopolis.

I really thought you were gonna like that, the way you were going, cause I was talking to Mitch before you went to go see it. Yeah, I was excited. And I was like, you're primed to like this movie that everyone seems to hate. I was like being like, he like funded this movie himself, which is a good thing outside the studios.

And then people were bringing up that he was, uh, uh, uh, you know, kissing people on the cheek. Right. People are uncomfortable. And I was like, well, I, you know, I'm not defending that, but I was like, he made this movie on his own and he's a master filmmaker. And then people were like, you're

defending Megalopolis too much. And then I saw it and it's not, it's not very good. He needed the studio to step in. Yeah. Let me first off say the Doughboys aren't kissing anybody. Yes, the Doughboys don't kiss a single person. We're not kissing. I mean Wally and Irma. Well, Wally and Irma, yeah.

They're little sweeties. Yeah. Jemmy gets a little kiss every now and then. And Jemmy gets a little kiss. Jemmy gets a little kiss. So you guys are kissing like- We're kissing animals. We're kissing animals.

The Doughboys only kiss animals. Okay, okay, good, good. But I will say this, and I said this in the live show, and Distin, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, look, our guest today, writer, producer on Twisted Metal and Peacock, season two coming soon, Sean Distin is here to introduce you officially. Hi, hi Distin, thanks so much for bringing time for us.

But Aubrey Plaza's in the movie, and her character's name is Wow Platinum, and- I love Aubrey. I think she's a lot of fun in the movie, she does a great job. I think she is a lot of fun in the movie and her character's name is Wow Platinum. And, and- Oh man. I love Aubrey. I think she's a lot of fun in the movie. She does a great job. She is a lot of fun in the movie. The movie is insane, but I love that it exists.

A much more fun mess than other movies. I agree. I agree. I like, I'd rather watch that again than Alien Romulus any day. But here's what I was going to say. Wow Platinum. The Doughboys say wow.

And also the highest honor on the Doughboys podcast is to get Five Forks and enter the Platinum Plate Club. I think Francis Ford Coppola. Do you think he listens? I think he likes the Doughboys and that makes sense. It's a little shout out to the Doughboys. Yeah, it might make sense because of our Coppola goofballs.

He did this exact same bit. Have you listened to last week's episode? You heard this. You heard this in the live show. It's had a week to sit on ice. He brought it out of the fridge and it's still good. The leftovers are still good on that one. Oh, man. And also similarly, we make Jemmy uncomfortable when we kiss her on the cheek.

Emma's been like, please stop. She's like dog Reddit. Everybody's been like, please stop. Please stop kissing my dog. She's on dog Reddit being like, I have something to expose about the dog world. She's not allowed to read Reddit. The, so our buddy Scott Gardner from Bodcast the Ride was saying like regarding Megalopolis,

is you want it to be like, we talked about Avatar a second. You want it to be like James Cameron, before Avatar came out, I was like, what's this guy doing? Give me a joke. And then it comes out and everyone's like, you know what? It's fucking good.

Yeah, it's great. You want that to be the case with Megalopolis, unfortunately, it's just kind of like this beautiful mess, but it is like a fun movie. In a way, I do kind of love it in many ways. I love that he made it. Why not? What else are you gonna do with your love it in many ways. I love that he made it. Why not? What else are you going to do with your money?

It's fine. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. So you love it. I don't love it. It is messy. It's a mess.

Yes. But I do love things about it. So you're able to appreciate a movie for parts and not necessarily. You can look at parts of it and be like, that actually is good. But OK, I was just wondering. We can't do this debate. You're just going to win. actually is good. But OK, I was just wondering. We can't do this debate. You're just going to win. I was just wondering.

I don't want to lose the debate. I think you should talk about doughboy's crowd size. I think you should do this debate. I think you should make this happen. I think you should get a moderator and an impartial moderator. I think that's good. And I think you should get a I mean, you know, maybe someone from the Jedi Council come on right. That could that's good. And I think you should get, I mean, you know, maybe someone from the Jedi Council could

moderate it. That could be really good. That could be really good. Kofi'n? Kofi'n Fisto is available, yeah, we got Poop. Should we get Kualaq to dress up like Depa Balava? I think this could be pretty good. That'd be a fun show.

Okay, so you're gonna, Distin, you're up here- Actually, can we get Kualaq in the Noid costume with a lightsaber? Oh man, they should redo that scene. They should redo the cantina scene and they had that devil character they took out of it. Yes. They should just re-put that scene in and it's Koala as the Noid.

That'd be good. Why do they take the devil character out? I like the devil. I like the devil, you know. Did Disney do that? Jesus. I don't know to... Did Disney do that? Jesus. I don't know if it was Disney or the other.

I think it was George Lucas, actually. Yeah. So yeah. Feels like a Lucas movie. He's just overthinking things. Yeah. It looks too much like a regular, like what we think the devil looks like. What looks like the human devil.

Maybe it wasn't the devil. Maybe it was like a werewolf or something. I don't remember. Oh yeah, there was a... It was the werewolf. He's going to both. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like a devil and a werewolf. Maul I don't remember. Oh yeah, there was, yeah. There was a werewolf. I think it's gonna both. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like a devil and a werewolf. Maul's pretty devilish.

Yeah, yes, 100%. Who is? Darth Maul. Oh, Maul is a little, yeah, he is a little devilish. He's a little devilish. Mars, where are you on Star Wars? I produced the newcomers podcast, the first season of Star Wars.

Of course, yes. So I was kind of forced to watch all of it. My old roommate was a huge Star Wars head, so I just kind of got a therosmosis from him. But I actually, I play Beat Saber a lot, which is the area, it's the main game with the lightsabers. And I've been learning bow staffing now. And I've been learning it from the Wushu School in LA.

And those are the same coaches who taught the actors who used the lightsabers to begin with. So it feels like I'm learning from the Jedi themselves. Wow, that's really great. You are an absolute Jedi. And it doesn't matter if you have Skywalker blood or not. Right. No, that's the whole idea.

Yes, no, no, no. You have Emperor blood? Yeah, yeah. I don't know if that was established in The Last Jedi. But anyone can be a Jedi. And I'm glad, Mars, that you're using your light. I've seen these videos. I mean, she would kick my ass with one of these things.

The whole thing with, yes. Yeah, anyone can be a Jedi. If you saw the Target commercial in the middle of the movie where the kid holds the broom and looks up at the sky. Well, that's the end of the movie. Kind of the last shot. And I don't know, the fact that- It's not the last, oh, is it the last shot?

It is the last shot. And also, I don't know, the message of inspiring kids to fight the fights that you can't fight because you're getting too old. I guess that's a bad message for a movie. Not that it's all about lineage and who your parents are. I guess it should mostly be old guys, just like your alien opinion.

Finn Wolfhard, it's on you to say that Last Jedi sucks. Do it, Finn. I would love Finn so much if he just took my- You should find out what his opinion is and then things will change. I maybe would love him. There's a possibility. I mean, Finn Wolfhard playing Finn from Star Wars is the kind of funnier video I would make in 2011 for $250. His name is already kind of a Star Wars name.

Yeah, he's got a Finn, his name's Finn, there's a character named Finn, whatever, let's fucking shoot this thing. And then you have LL Cool J do deepest bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin. Yeah, yeah. Then you've got that, now you've got a funnier dive video. We rewatched Deep Blue Sea, we watched it for a little bit.

Yeah, we did. A fun movie. Oh, it's fun. It's a lot of fun. I love it. Yeah, okay. Okay, you've been up in Canada for a while, and I, we did. Fun, a fun movie. Oh, it's fun. It's a lot of fun. I love it. Okay, you've been up in Canada for a while. And I want to talk about your experiences in Canada, but first, before we were talking,

we were both commiserating, and I had a little bit of a situation that has maybe been resolved. I think my bag is finally back at my hotel, but my luggage was lost. I had- Yours was gone for like a month. Mine was gone for a month.

Wow. Was this also Air Canada?. Mine was gone for a month. Wow. Was this also Air Canada? It sure was. Oh my God. And it had me singing everywhere I went, blame Canada, blame Canada. That's a great song. Because I have never had luggage lost before.

Yeah. And it was one of those things where I didn't intend on checking the second bag, but they were like, hey, you can check a second bag, so do it. You know, so I was like, why don't I fucking splurge and walk around with just my little backpack in the airport? Yeah. So I checked that second bag, and of course, instead of saying it didn't get on the plane,

we know where it is, it's coming to you in a couple hours, which is what happened to you, they said they had no record of it ever being checked in and it never existed in the system. Oh my God. That's horrifying. So it took like a whole month of emailing Air Canada and being like, hey, you guys, I don't,

what's up with my bag? And they'd be like, can you list everything that was in the bag in detail? And I was like, okay. So I try, I don't remember what the fuck I, does anyone remember what they packed in a bag? And then I would not hear anything for a week and I'd be like, hey, so I try. I don't remember what the fuck I, does anyone remember what they packed in a bag? And then I would not hear anything for a week and I'd be like, hey, I haven't heard anything in a week.

And they'd be like, hey, could you list everything that's in the bag like further, like add prices and colors? And I'm like, I don't fucking remember. Yeah, do you think they're just buying new stuff? Yeah, they're just like, I don't know, this guy's style is pretty cool. So they like, we go back and forth on this.

Look, I start to become a little bit of a jerk in the email. I'm like, guys, tell me how you're looking for this bag. I haven't heard anything. I'm getting pissed. In the bag is a picture of me and my girlfriend. I'm staying in Toronto for four months. I need a little bit of home. Right, of course.

I don't care about the clothes. It's the photograph, I need a little bit of home. Right, of course. I don't care about the clothes, it's the photograph that I need. And I keep saying like, guys, there's a photo in there of me. Like you can find the bag and know it's mine because you look at it and it's me in there. And I must've sent a really angry email

and then they emailed me back like, hey, the bag is gone. We don't know where the bag is, we're just gonna pay you back. So I got a little pissed and I do what every LA comedian does when something happens on a flight. I went to Twitter and I didn't, I didn't tweet out like to the world. I just DMed Air Canada and I was like, Hey guys, I'm dealing with some customer service thing and it's not going great.

I'm really upset. Can someone help me? And within one hour they were like, we found your bag. That's wild. Oh man. So happy ending to a pretty frustrating story. They also are mailing me a check for clothes I had to buy. So if you had to buy clothes overnight, save those receipts because they have to pay you for them.

I bought this shirt, so. Wow. All right. Looking good. Thank you, I like I bought this shirt. Wow. All right. Looking good. Thank you. I like the weight on this. The Canadian fit. Yeah. Fits you.

Okay. Now you have not, when was the last time you traveled out of the country? Last time we did Doughboys in Canada. So that was Vancouver 2020, right? Have we been back? No, was that? Vancouver 2020? I never went to been back? So, was that? Vancouver 2020? I never went to Vancouver.

I guess it is. You saw me did. So it had to be before that. You're right, you're right. And we watched Boston Pizza. Remember we had Boston Pizza? I mean, we didn't review it. But we reviewed A&W with Off Book

and I believe that was our last Canadian show. And then like two months later, it was March. We were on tour again. Yeah, and we were in Denver and then we heard the COVID was happening And then like two months later, it was March. We're on tour again. Yeah, and we were in Denver, and then we heard the COVID was happening, and we went home. Tom Hanks got it.

Tom Hanks got it, the MBA was canceled. It was official, the drop was released. Yeah. But so you've now been here for 24 hours. I'm sure you didn't get to talk about Toronto much in the live show, because you had literally probably just landed. Yeah, I just, yeah, my experience was landing, finding out they lost my bag,

checking the hotel and going to Tim Hortons twice. So since then, what's your initial reaction to being out of the country, being in Toronto? I mean, the travel is really, really stressful. But the flight's not bad. The flight is okay. I mean, I will say, and Amelia booked this for me, but the Air Canada exit row is goaded. I had so much leg room. Like my legs were like this.

Like fully spread out. I was like, that's crazy. For the listeners, he just fully planked in his chair. Yeah. No, I got like full extension here. I was like, it was crazy how much leg room I had. I saw a lot of your thighs just then. Hey, you know, this guy's out, thighs out.

The thing I had is lot of your thighs just um, hey, you know, it's guys out thighs out the the the thing I had it is that like Still the experience of being in the airport and everything like that's like really stressful. That's really chaotic You also look you I just also get very anxious being in confined spaces I know we got to do a fight in one of our last released episodes with Aaron Keefe about You know what I mean? We got into a fight in one of our last released episodes with Aaron Keefe about how we have different schedules. That's right. Oh, yeah.

You didn't understand that all I was trying to, we won't get back into the fight. OK. But all I was trying to say is no matter when my flight is, I don't eat. That's all I was trying to say. Yes. And so.

Just so you know, Aaron Keefe is in therapy right now, I heard. Because of this fight. Sorry, Aaron Keefe is in therapy right now. I heard because of this fight. Sorry, Aaron. Sorry. Sorry. You're not the first. So a lot of people, it happens to a lot of people do the show. But you we are different people with, but it sounds like you're like, I want to get

up and have a breakfast and stuff like this. You are always late to the airport. You cut it so close because he dreads being there. I understand that. But he cuts it closer than he's missed a flight with twice with doughboys twice. Okay. I don't miss a flight twice. I think you missed a flight twice. I think you just missed one flight. You almost missed it. You missed one and then you almost missed the second. I almost missed one. I missed the other one. Yes, I will say Nick, if you are an anxious flyer getting there early and setting your

nerves like I get to the airport so early early because I hate running right onto the fucking plane. That's when I feel anxious about being confined. No, I'm with you. You like lounges. Go to the fucking whatever lounge. Well, this is a thing, though. But it's like I don't have any Air Canada points and any flight status. So like I'm there and I did get there early. I got up at 4am.

Natalie took me to the airport, which was super duper nice She just she didn't have to get up and give me a ride, but she did Don't you have a membership of the freak off lounge? Did he freak off lounge? It's not the same anymore. It's dead in there. I went to No, but I so he just went to like a Golden Road brewery So like whatever like just like the the airport version of the local brewery they have down there. It sounds like it would suck, yeah. And I got like the just the most flavorless breakfast brewery.

I mean, I just said this in the show we did last night and then last week's episode. But it's, isn't it a bummer? But I got there early and it was like a, yeah, that was a bummer too. I went to the airport and I went to Golden Road brewery. Yeah, I know. It's just like everything, oh, you suck.

Yeah, it sucks. We suck. No, you guys are in Toronto. Oh, I didn't mean we suck, I meant the world sucks, but also we do suck. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the world sucks for sure. You were gonna ask me about my time in Toronto. Yes, yes. I've been here since the end of June.

I really like it. It's fucking chill. I mean, like you talked about the train. I like live right off of subway stop. That's great. The train's really great. The food is kind of fucking great. Like I'd always heard Toronto's food was good,

especially like the Indian food. And it is exactly, like it's different than I imagined, but it is really, really good. And I'm having a great time on set with Mitch and company, but I haven't like had a ton of time to like do all the Toronto stuff. You've had zero time. I've had less time than Mitch, for sure.

But I feel like I haven't, there's been very little windows of doing stuff. But it's still good. There's some good restaurants. We've all gone to this one restaurant, Lee. That's great. That is a really, really fun restaurant. I'm sure Mitch. Let's try to go.

Yeah, you guys should try to go. It's really good. Well, what's it called? Lee. Like L-E-E. Okay. Wait, what is Lee? What kind of food is it?

I forget how to say his name. Is it? I don't know. It sounds like it's not Susser Lee. Susser Lee. Susser Lee. Susser Lee. It's like Sosser Lee or something close to that.

I don't wanna. But it is like a Chinese restaurant. Okay. And it's just like really high end, but also like, I don't know, it's like not bullshit. It's just really good. That sounds delightful. You'll know the chef.

He was an iron chef for a while. Okay. And so he's the guy who, his son brings him like fast food items and he tries them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know that guy. I think I sent you all those videos before. I see that guy on Instagram or whatever. Marge, have you been to Lee? I have not. Okay. It's yeah, yeah, yeah. You know that guy. I think I sent you all those videos before. I've seen that guy on Instagram or whatever.

Marsha, have you been to Lee? I have not. Okay. Have you heard of it? You know what it is? I've heard of Saucer Lee. Yeah, he's a very famous Canadian. Thank you.

Thank you, Mars. I'm a very, very famous Canadian chef, but I've not been to Lee. Yeah, there's a ton of restaurants here where it's like, oh, this famous chef has a rest. Like, there's a bunch of that kind of thing in Toronto, and it's just been, I don't know, it's chill. People are nice.

No one's really talking about the election, which has been kind of great. Maddie Matheson from Dub Bear has a restaurant here. Yeah. Yeah. She has a few. But it's good to talk that up. Yeah, yeah. There's like a chicken parm restaurant

or something that maybe she has. Right, really? It's like on the way to Niagara. Is it chicken parm? It's like close to Hamilton actually. Uh, the hammer. That's what we call it. We shoot a lot of stuff outside of Toronto

in a place called the Hammer. Yes. And, um. That has great pizza. The pizza's really good. You would love it. It looks like the beginning of Deer Hunter. Have you seen Deer Hunter?

Yeah, of course. Uh. When you drive over the like, we're always getting in before the sun is coming up because we have to be there so course. When you drive over the like, we're always getting in like before the sun is coming up because we have to be there so early. When you drive over this bridge, there's like factories shooting fire from like

big steam pipes. It's fucking insane. It's wild. That's what I want from the Alien franchise. That sort of shit. I agree with you. It would have been good. Yeah, yeah.

I did feel like, because my first time in Canada, we went and we talked about this, but we went to Saskatoon in Saskatchewan. And everyone on the plane felt like, oh, these people are going, they're trying to escape from something. Yeah. People are all trying to start a new life.

They're all in witness protection. Yeah, yeah. But in Toronto, like we're here in Toronto summer, and it's just been really great. I know it probably snows in a shitty other times of year, but it's pretty good. It was actually kind of hot at first, but... It's warm. I'm walking around in short sleeves. I'm comfy. Something's out. What did you say?

Skies out, thighs out. Skies out, thighs out. Exactly. You're saying that as you're getting pushed into a cop car? Skies out, thighs out. Eyes out. Um, you, uh, the steel mills are cool and they look like the, they really do look like the beginning of deer hunting. They kind of remind me a little of like what Arkham probably felt like. Yes. It feels, it feels like early, I'm like, this is what America probably felt like

Yeah. Right. A hundred years ago, we're sure. Uh, and then also we can recreate the we can recreate the Russian roulette scene too in Hamilton if you ever go. You and I. That's gonna be a great double. Russian roulette double. The Russian roulette double.

The barrel's full. We have six rounds in here. Okay, I wanna ask you about, cause we were talking about Toronto Eats. And there is a, I wanna specifically ask you about Jamaican food because there is Toronto Eats, and there is a, I want to specifically ask you about Jamaican food, because there is a chain up here called Jerk King. Have you been to Jerk King?

There is, I have had Jerk King. There's another chain up here called Scotty Bonds. Which is like one that is in the work lunch rotation. So you can kind of gauge its quality from that. Jerk King is great. I mean, the Jamaican food here, Caribbean fooded its quality from that. It's, Jerk King is great. I mean, the Jamaican food here, Caribbean food in general is really good. There's a huge community.

I heard it, I haven't had any Caribbean food here. There's a lot of good stuff here. I really, one thing that I've not been able to get in LA, and I could kind of get when I was back in Miami when I was living there, are Jamaican patties. Which are these like, you know, beef filled, sort of flaky sort of pastries. And there's so many options in Toronto,

but the best one I've found, and Mars I wonder if you have an opinion on this, there's one that's in the subway station called Express Patties. And it's like really fucking good. And the fact that it's in a subway station makes me feel like it's kind of cool. Yeah, right. Like it's in a subway station makes me feel like it's kinda cool. Yeah, right.

Like you gotta buy a ticket to the subway to get it. Like I think there's one in a mall or something somewhere else. You're talking in this guy's language right here. But it's like, yeah, it's like a restaurant that's down in the like train station, which is kinda cool. I love anything subterranean.

So cool. A lot of fun, yeah. You love anything subterranean? Yeah. All right. Yeah, he's a- Ninja turtles? Chuds? They call him the Chud King.

Marissa, wait, have you been to Express Patty, Patty Express? I think so. I've been to various ones. There's many of them in the subway. And yeah, Toronto's kind of known for its Jamaican patties. It's kind of like a huge culture here. Wow.

So it's been very good. There's so many. And there's this place, Scotty Bonds is like, they have like sandwiches. You get like a jerk chicken sandwich. That's like the equivalent of like, oh, we're getting Mendocino farms, but this week we're getting Scotty Bonds and you like get a jerk chicken sandwich and eat it and get the Rumblies for the rest of the day. Um,

I heard a Scotty Ox gets a piece of Scotty Bonds. That's pretty good. Scotty Bonds I think is short for Scotch Bonnet, which is like the pepper that is kind of one of the main peppers in Jerk. Wow. Well, a restaurant we're not going to talk about here, which I have gotten addicted to is Nando's.

Nando's. Yes. I'm the Nando King. I walk gotten addicted to is Nando's. Nando's. Yes. I am, I'm the Nando King. I walk down there. I'm a cheeky Nando guy. I walk down to Nando's. So where is the Nando's? Cause you've mentioned it, but I've not had it.

Like a mile away from my hotel, I walk down there. I get a nice refreshing lunch. Been walking a lot in this city. It's a very walkable town. That's I love to walk. And there's a ton of bike lanes. If you're a bike, I mean, I hear from the drivers at work that they hate the bike lanes

because there's causing a lot of traffic. I was just telling Wags this, the transport is not like the bike lanes. But people use the bike lanes. There are people on bikes all the time. It's one of those things where like, if your job is to be a driver, I completely understand that frustration.

But I think like the overall idea behind using bike lanes and bus lanes to move people as opposed to cars that are occupied by a single driver a lot of times is a more efficient way to do a city. You're not driving at all, are you Mitch? I haven't yet but I will at some point. It's pretty chaotic I must say I'm constantly in fear of hitting someone on a bike. Oh driving around the city? I do have a rental car and I've used it like four times. Yeah it's kind of chaotic. Yeah, I would try to avoid driving myself.

I'm trying to stress the wheel. But the train, like on the weekends, I've really like hopped on the train and like if you need to take a lift too, it's kind of like, do you guys remember in LA when lift was like, you'd be at like the satellite or something and you'd call a lift and it would be there in one minute?

Do you think this guy remembers that ever? No, I don't know if it ever been in a satellite. We went out at night, friends were hanging out, there was mirth. But I feel like it's old school ride share where like, you can have a fucking car in front of you in like one minute. Sure.

And I think it's- The Lyfts are a little slower, I only have Lyft. My Uber, my Uber got suspended. What did you do? Yeah, what happened to your Uber? What did you do? What happened? That top dog got suspended?

Top dog, I was out one night. You do wait, do you know this? Do you know Mitch's Uber name is the top dog? No, that's really funny. My Uber name was the top dog. So I was with Mitch, Mitch got an Uber. I learned this, Mitch got an Uber. We got in and the driver goes, you must be the top dog.

That's really funny. You know how many times I would get, and I meant to change it forever, but you know how many times a delivery person would be like, you're the top dog? And I was like, yeah, I'm the top dog. And they were like, and they'd be like, no, you're not. I was expecting to see. I think they expect to see someone like way cooler than me and so here's

the thing because I do think uber actually did I had credits in my account because they just I didn't get food delivered like twice and and and then they they I was like it wasn't working I was like what's going on I looked at my email and there was like a ton of emails that were like, you need to change your name. Like your name is not appropriate. And I was like, how is the Top Dog not appropriate? Like they suspended your account because of the name?

They suspended my account because of the name. They said, writer does not match name, must change. To medium or low dog. I mean, that's so fucking funny. Now that I think about it, I'm like, Oh, I could get someone to call me anything when I get into the fucking that's really, that's why does it matter? What does that? What does, what is, what is, what the fuck is wrong with the top? It's probably some security reason or something, you know, but people put fake names a lot of times, so I didn't know why it mattered. And then...

Amelia, what do you do for... Are you skidmark on Uber? Or do you use your name? I use my name. Okay. I do have a fucked up photo as my avatar. What is it? It's like a semblance of a face, but it's not...

It's... I don't know. It has eyes and smile. Okay. What are you describing? What? I don't know, it has eyes and smile. Okay. What are you describing? What? I don't know. It's, it's like a weird edited face.

I'm, I'm surprised I get rides because it's really disturbing to look at. And her account isn't suspended. I just might have said the top dog. I didn't do any photo. I didn't put a dog in the photo. I just, it's nothing. Yeah, well. But you, but you could change your name and get your account back, you think?

Yeah, you need to legally change your name. It's locked now. I emailed Uber and then they were like, we'll reach out to you. And they never did. And I called, it was a process where I was like, I don't know if you've ever tried to reach out to Uber. It's impossible. Yeah, they don't have an actual central location. No, and then I was emailing with them a ton and they just never would return. You need to go down to the courthouse and change your legal name to the top dog and then sue uber. Yeah

You motherfuckers. I maybe will I do think that it was because I had credits in my account They try it was like right after I got credits. Yeah, fuck you. Also bad company Bad company. Fuck Uber. They they so your account got suspended I mean, I don't think any of these companies are good, but whatever. We did take an Uber over here from Harvey's. We wanted to take the street car, but it was one of those things where we were running behind and it was slightly, it was more efficient.

I hear the street car is not as consistent as the train. That's kind of not a thing to do if you're in a rush. I'm gonna try the street car at some point, but today it ended up being the Uber. We can take it back today. Oh, that's fun. Okay. It's something to look forward to.

What a blast. I'm glad Nick's having fun. Maybe this will lead to more travel. Things are nice outside of California. Look, this is a lovely city. I like this city. Not only do I have a lot of fun in New York City, I like New York like New York City. I like, you know, I like urban spaces. I like more densely populated areas.

I like walkable neighborhoods. I like all that stuff. It is the transit that's the issue. What if for the next tour, we bonk you on the head with an iron? I love this idea already. I actually don't even care what else happens. So long as we get to bonk him, yeah, it's great.

A big bonk, put you in like a body bag, put you in like, you know, check you under the plane. Yeah. And then just now he's getting into it. And then you just wake up in another town. I mean, that would be great. This is the second guest who suggested knocking Mitch Nick out and putting him either in a coffin. The other suggestion was a coffin. This was a body bag.

Look, a coffin might be better than a body bag. A coffin's kind of fun. So we transport him like Nosferatu basically. Yeah. All right. And we just make sure there's a switch in the coffin if he wakes up. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I did play some of that new Zelda on the plane a little bit. You have? You never finished it? This is the one where you're building on the ship. The new the new one with like where you play as Princess Zelda.

Wow. I heard it's good. It is good. It is very much more like a like kind of a puzzler than than traditional. Like there's a lot of like basically what you're doing is what's it called? Echoes of wisdom. That's the subtitle. Thank you. Basically what you have, you have like a little wand is what's it called? Echoes of wisdom? Echoes of wisdom, is that it? That's the subtitle. Thank you, Emma. Basically, you have a little wand, and the wand lets you pick any item in the environment, and then you can create another one.

And that's mostly used for light puzzling. So it'd be like, oh, how do I get on top of that roof over there? Well, okay, I have this table here. I can take this table, and now I can create another table and then I can climb onto this one and then stack another table on top of it and kind of ladder up them until I can get to this higher surface.

It's all shit like that. It's kind of interesting. Too bad Nintendo got the woke mind virus. Yeah. Speaking of woke mind virus, are you, either of you guys playing Star Wars Outlaws? I have not played it. I have not played it.

Is it fun? I think it's pretty fun. I mean, it does start in Canto Bight, I will say. Which I found exhilarating. Canto Bight. Appleduck is very positive about Star Wars Outlaws. I haven't had enough time to get into it. My initial-

Do you like Canto Bight? I do like Canto Bight. You're full of shit. I like Canto Bight. I like the idea of a casino planet. Listen, Mitch, you bite. I have the idea of a casino planet. You are like the idea of a casino plan. It sounds like you really love it. You are Rose Tico in that scene. Canto bite. I'm not Rose Tico Canto bite is Hollywood and you show up there and Finn is like, Oh, it's fucking great. Check it out. And you say, look closer. If you look closer, you can see people are being abused.

Exactly. And then at the end of the scene. I never thought about how deep Canto Bight is. And then at the end of the scene when he goes, it was worth it making them hurt. Like she is you and what you wanna do to Hollywood. You wanna destroy Hollywood. And that's what Canto Bight is, it's evil.

Like Canto Bite is the reason Star Wars still exists. Wars and Star Wars together still exist because of CantoBite. I love Hollywood, baby. Okay. I did release a bunch of horses in Hollywood. You did. I remember when you did that. That was fun. That was a fun night. The, the, going back to, to Going back to knocking me, rendering me unconscious and putting me in a coffin. I, this is a, that is what they did. If people are old enough to remember the old 18 TV series,

that is what they did to Mr. T's. Because he did not like traveling. He was very, he was scared specifically of planes. Yes. And it's not that I'm like terrified of like aviation. I do have a bit of a, yeah. And it's not that I'm like terrified of like aviation. I do have a bit of a, yeah. No, what I'll love when we store your way down below

is when I get the thing from Air Canada that luggage has been lost. Oh well. Uh oh, I don't need to find it. Just pay me for the value. I just live here now, buddy. I'll take that replacement white t-shirt over you. Oh yeah, did they give you a care package?

No. They gave me a care package. They didn't give me shit. The care package had a toothbrush in it, like some floss, some single use deodorant, and then it had just a plain white XL t-shirt. Did you get any Air Canada merch in there? They didn't give me shit! They gave you pants, they just gave you a t-shirt?

Yeah, just a t-shirt. They were like, have a clean t-shirt, go pantsless. You can Donald Duck around in this. It's fucking crazy. That's what I thought when they were like, what do you have in your suitcase? Like, an Air Canada sweatshirt? I thought it was going to be something like that, just trying to be like, come on. Yeah. They didn't give a shit, just a check.

That sucks. Well, that's not bad. OK, so we went to Harvey's. Yes. Also, can I just quickly say, I forgot to say that aliens are coming to Earth in the new alien TV show. I was going to bring that up before. Yeah.

I really hope someone says welcome to Earth. That would be that would be really fun it's a fun thing to say to an alien this show is sponsored by better help mitch what's something that scares you share a fear no matter how big or small because i'm afraid of the future and what will happen.

I wasn't there. Mitch wasn't there that day. And they often get from this chain called Pizza Pizza. I don't know if you guys are covering this. We're not covering Pizza Pizza during Toronto, Doe, Canada, the Great Bight North, the month long culinary tour of the six. We are doing Boston pizza instead.

Okay, that's better. Because the Boston connection. Pizza pizza sucks. It's like a worst Little Caesars. And I thought when I see pizza pizza, I'm like, oh, this must be what they call Little Caesars here. We talked about this with Stephanie at the live show, which is that-

I disagree. Mars is shaking her head at me. And you maybe have been shaking your head at me the entire episode. What are you upset to say about Mars? What's going on? Pizza pizza is a terrible chain. It tastes like cardboard.

It's not good. I gotta say this. Mitch likes it. I gotta put my feet up here for a second. Oh shit. My knees are cracking. It's been a wild season of Twisted Metal. Yeah.

I, I, I. Yeah, you're not kidding. They, hey, I'm not a man who, I'm not a, you wouldn't think of me as a stunt guy, would you? Let me say this, before you get into your pizza pizza take, Nick, Mitch has been on set for months now, and we are having him do stunts. It's true.

There's running, there's kneeling, there's kicks, punches, and even though I know you're very sore, you've been crushing, and I think I know you're very sore, you've been crushing. And I think the fans of Doughboys are going to be pleasantly surprised to see that our little Spoon Man is a bit of an action star. Wow, I love it. I've been getting tossed around.

It is funny though, any scene where we've run, my pants have fallen down. It's almost a bit now. That's funny. Where we have clips of him constantly like, one, everyone will be running and then like a second later, Mitch will be picking up the rear, which has kind of become funny now. We've almost scripted it.

And he's constantly reaching to pick up his pants because they are the same pants he's worn every single day. And then MJ is like, that was so funny when you did that. And I was like, yeah. Yeah, big choice. Really funny choice. But you were talking about Pizza Pizza. Pizza Pizza we got that for second meal in Hamilton.

Like last Thursday or something. And you know what? It reminded me of old Domino's Mars. I liked it. It reminded me of Domino's Before the Change. Yes. And I thought it was pretty good. It's not great pizza. It reminded me of Domino's Before the Change. Yes. And I thought it was pretty good. It's not great pizza. It's not terrible.

It's not terrible. But it's just funny to me that... It's a three-forker. I would say it's a two-and-a-half forker. Wow. That's fair. I get that. But it's funny because it's like, oh, pizza pizza must be the little, you know... But there is Little Caesars here.

There is Little Caesar, yes. And so my understanding is that pizza pizza existed first in Canada. Little Caesar has the trademark for Little, for pizza pizza, which is their slogan in the United States. And so they can't say it in Canada. Hey man, that's pretty fucked up. Yeah. It was like a time machine to get, like to try old Domino's.

That's what it felt like to me. I was like, oh, I'm tasting old Domino's. I enjoyed it. But Harvey's, we've gotten it for second meal. And it's generally like cold and like, I don't necessarily just wanna eat some burger. You know what I mean? Just I'm like, I've not-

A group order with a whole big tray of burgers, not the ideal waiting. Just like, I don't, and they're picked through and everyone's like opening them to see what's inside. I haven't really fucked with it. I tried some of the fries at Second Meal and they were soggy and old and I thought they were bad. Well, it's tough with Second Meal.

Fries are tough. It's tough, because they're ordering food for like 50 people. Yeah, more generally, like any sort of catering order, I feel like a burger place is a bad option. The quality is the quality is bad. So this was the first time I had actually had Harvey's and I see it everywhere.

I'm like, but one thing I've noticed being here and I don't know if you've noticed this Mitch, they fucking love burgers here. Like there are so many burger chains. Like I think we have a lot in America obviously, but like there's this place, I don't know if you're covering it, maybe I shouldn't mention it, but there are-

No, mention the one. Burgers Priest. Yeah, the Burgers Priest. We actually are not covering, but it was one we talked about. The burgers priest I also believe is owned by the same parent company as Harvey's now. Really? There's just a ton of burger places

and they all have poutine. Mattie's, Patti's, that's another big one from Mattie Matheson. So they love burgers here. And so this was like the first time I had fully like had Harveys. Yeah. Yeah.

I had Harveys one of my first days. I was I was dribbling a set with Dave, one of the Transpo guys, the younger guy with a mustache, younger Dave with a mustache. And he was like, hey, man, you want to get some lunch after this? I'll get some lunch. I was like, yeah, sure. We went to Harveys together. Wise, I didn't tell you this.

We went, we went to Harvey's today. That's right. I got almost the same thing I got with Dave, except for one change, which was we got to Harvey's, uh, I had to use an emergency bathroom issue. That's right. I went in and used the Harvey's bathroom, a true nightmare in any, every way possible, um, just the one stall that was like a wet floor. It was just like one of those. and used the Harvey's bathroom, a true nightmare in every way possible. Just the one stall that was like a wet floor. It was just like one of those.

Yeah, I'm bad. Was it like single bathroom, like you were the only one in the bathroom or like you were in a bathroom with a urinal and there was one stall? It was a locked door that you had to get buzzed into but it was just a jar, so I went in and then there was a urinal and a sink

and then a door for the toilet. So some people were coming in and out. So some people were coming in and out, and then there was a poor soul that was the nicest man. When I came out, that was an older man who was waiting there, and I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. He was so nice. He was like, that's OK.

It's OK. He was being very, very nice about it. But I had been in there for 10 minutes, probably, at that point. I can tell you're in some distress. Well, I told you, I said, I'm going to shit my pants. I'll go ahead to Harvey's. This was before we ate Harvey's. Yes.

That is an absolute nightmare. We had already eaten another meal. Yes. We'd eaten a full meal, and then we were walking to Harvey's to eat a second meal. We did a bang bang, as they say. Made famous by Louie. Louie, thank you. Thank you, Louie. And Scott Ackerman. And Ackerman.

Oh, that's right. I should probably thank Ackerman over Louie. No, no, you thanked Louie first and everyone heard it. So we went to Harvey's and I immediately went in there and I was in there for about 10 minutes. You ordered. Yes. And you ordered me the big Harv. Here, there was a miscommunication. Which sounds too much like Harvey Weinstein's nickname. Oh God, now that's all I can think about.

We were eating at Harvey's? Harvey Danger. That's who we can think about. We were eating at Harvey's. Harvey Danger. That's who we should think about. Flagpole Sitta. That's who we should think about more. I was a toilet. How about Harvey Dent? Our proud DA.

I love Harvey Dent. I love Harvey Dent. The mayor of Hamilton. I was a toilet sita in there. That's really good. Flagpole Sitta? I was I was I was a toilet sitter in there like That's really good Like pull shit another way you could have my pulse shit. Yeah toilet sit. Yeah toilet shit. Yeah The flagpole shit a climb up a flagpole and then shit

The logic cuz I'm not quite sure what a flag pole said it does. Do you heard the song? I don't know. And I was paranoid. I was afraid of people coming into the bathroom the whole time. But what I wasn't afraid of was you ordering me the wrong thing, which you ended up doing. Look, here's the thing.

There was a big Harv, and then there's also the Angus big Harv. Angus. Now you told me, this was just a miscommunication, I will take the blame for this. I thought you said you wanted the Angus one. You said, don't get me the Angus Big Harv. So I ordered the Big Harv Angus. Now I will say, you did send,

you did text me a list of customizations. You got everything right, I feel bad. The way Harvey's works is that you have a, it's like a burger bar. And this, I actually think is a lot of fun for ordering in. It's fun, but it does slow things down so much. It slows things down, but they have a pretty good system there.

It's kind of like subway level of efficient. So I'll give them some credit for that. But they have a burger bar. Their Jared just walked in. They have like their equivalent of what Jersey Mike's is Mike's way, which is like, you can order it the Harvey's, is it just called Harvey's way? It's something like that or all the way. Oh yeah.

And they, and they have a set number of toppings that they put on it and then you can customize it beyond that. You have a number of customizations. I got all of those in, but yeah, it was just the wrong Patty. And I didn't know you felt so strongly about the Angus Patty, but you were just like, I hate the Angus. I want the regular. So you ordered another burger.

So I went with Dave, the transpo driver, and cool, cool dude. Cool as hell. And this young Dave with the mustache? This is young Dave with the mustache. Oh, yeah, yeah, he's cool. Because there's older Dave, who also is great. I love older Dave, too. And he's not old.

He's just older Dave. Yeah, sure. But young Dave with the mustache, we went there. And I was like, let me get the big Harv. I'm going to go. And I was like, what do you like, Angus or regular? And there's a lady behind the counter. I won't say where it was.

Maybe it wasn't too far from our studio, but I don't want to give a location. Nobody cares. No one cares. But I was like, do you like the Angus one? And she's like, no, it tastes like worms. That's what she said to me. Interesting.

Wow. And I was like, tastes like worms. And so I was like uh and then like I was eating it I was like I get what she means I knew what she meant when she said that. But I think Felix that it got implanted into your brain. It maybe did a little bit but the Angus burger is like too thick anytime a fast food restaurant does like an Angus burger I'm like give me the thinner patty that it just it always tastes better to me. I didn't I didn't taste a huge difference. I got like, give me the thinner patty that it just, it always tastes better to me. I didn't, I didn't taste a huge difference. I got the regular, I got the regular Patty and it did taste close to the Angus. It was like, it was better to me, but there's an Angus burger sitting right over

there, which you guys should take bites of. Well, you also don't have to, but it was just like, we had no, they have to, we brought an untouched extra burger. I'm just, it's going to make this whole room. Reek of burger. That's fine. We reek like burgers anyways. Yeah. It's also definitely cold now. Take a bite, take a bite. They don't wanna eat it, Mitch.

I'll take a bite. Don't make them eat it. Oh my God, this is an absolute. We can open it up. This is an absolute Francis Ford Coppola situation. Should we microwave it? Eat the burger. Or is that sacrilege?

No, Mars is like, no, don't microwave that. Eat the burger. No, do not microwave it. Yeah, you gotta eat the burger. Oh my God, it's huge. Yeah, it's a big boy. No, this is a double patty.'t microwave that. Eat the burger. No, do not microwave it. Yeah, you gotta eat the burger. Oh my God, it's huge. Yeah, it's a big boy. No, this is a double patty. So let me read the descriptions real quick.

The Big Harve is two flame grilled beef patties, Swiss and cheddar style cheese slices, and your choice of toppings on a toasted gold bun. There's an interesting thing where because of the Canadian, like they don't call American cheese, American cheese. And I think they maybe have a different law on even qualifying as being able to be legally called cheese.

Cause it's mostly water. Yeah, cause it would be called processed cheddar style cheese a lot of places or just processed cheese. They're biting it, they're biting it. This is exciting. I thought you said you don't like this one. I don't like this one as much,

but I want to see what you guys think. That's good. Amelia's giving it a thumbs up. Do you wanna bite? Yes. Wow, so you don't like something, but you're okay that other people like it. Oh my.

I just wanted to check in on that. I just don't get, you're a smart person. So wait, I was confused by the menu because the Angus burger, the Harvey, like it wasn't like super clear to me when I was on Uber Eats, like what the difference, I imagine the Angus burger was thicker, but I'm like, is it a different meat or is it just thicker?

No, it's a different quality of beef. And it's a little bit thicker. It is the Angus burger is 100% Canadian beef. That is the qualifier they get. So I imagine it's just a little bit of a better tier. I'm gonna also take a bite of this by the way. Jeez, Mitch. A bang bang today.

He's trying to bang, bang, bang. I wanna take a bite of it. What do you, what do you, what do you? I can't get out of here, you gotta come get it. What did you guys think of it? It's delicious. I imagine it's way better when it's hot. Sure.

Go take a bite of it. Honestly, for a cold burger that's been sitting in a bag for like an hour and a half, pretty freaking good. Hey, there you go. I have thoughts. The same into a microphone. One thing I will say is the quality of ingredients in Canada, and I don't know what, oh God,

Mitch is full frontal burger. Mitch is biting directly into the camera. I'm not sure if we're getting anywhere. You may have just lost like 50, you've lost subscribers. Do you like it better when it's cold? It's pretty good. In a weird way, it reminds me of like an old Burger King burger. Like in a good way.

Yeah, sure. I don't know why, maybe it's like a flame broiled thing. You can keep that. Sure. Yeah. Mitch, I don't know why. Maybe it's like a flame broiled thing. You can keep that. Yeah. Mitch, I don't know if this has been your experience, but I feel like anywhere I go, like chain restaurants or just straight up restaurants, if I get like a piece of chicken,

the like, it just feels like it was less factory processed. It just, the quality of ingredients are high, I would say. I wouldn't be sure. I mean, it feels like they have just like a general, generally more functional government or functional society, not without its myriad problems, of course. But like, it does feel like they have slightly higher standards for just what you can,

what additives you can put into food, food labeling, those sorts of things. No, it's crazy. I don't know what to think anymore. Wow. That was- That cold burger changer bit, what? That was better than my hot burger. Yeah. No, it's crazy. I don't know what to think anymore. Wow. That was that was better than my hot burger. Wow. You that's the burger you walked away from. I know. I know.

I know. I know. Wags. I know. Wow. Damn. He revisited something. He revisited something with an open mind and was able to actually get enjoyment from it. I'm not a hater. Stephanie thinks I'm a hater too. I become a hater. I think, I think you're kind of just a- You love this. I think you're a cynic. Oh, fuck off.

I think you're a bit- You are, you are, you're- Here's the thing is- Pick it in scripted better. I think you're a cynic, oh fuck off. Here's the thing, people that don't know us are just gonna be like, Nick's right, he's a cynic. They don't know you.

Yeah. They don't know how fucking cynical are you, piece of shit. I'm a bit of a cynic. I think it's okay to be cynical about shit. Let's be clear, you cannot like stuff, it's fine. But I'm just trying to give you credit. You want, I'm repeating something I said in the live show,

but like you want things to be good. That's where this comes from. It comes from you like having affection for things, caring about things and you feeling like, oh, this thing isn't as good as it should be, and it hasn't reached the potential that it has, and that's where your frustration comes from. Yeah, this show. Which is reasonable.

Specifically. Yeah, this show sucks. Yeah, this show sucks so bad. But that's such a Mitch-centric opinion, because you want everything to be good for you. Things can be good for other people. People can take things from stuff that you may not like. I don't like Avatar. But do I like that you guys like Avatar?

I love it. Did you see the way of water? Did you see the way of water? I haven't seen the way of water. You have or you have not? I have not. And that's, look, I should watch it. You gotta watch it.

It's great. I yell that John, I'll rent a theater for you to see way of water. I would love that. I yell that, John, I'll rent a theater for you to see Way of Water. I would love that. I feel pissed that I missed it in 3D or whatever the fuck it is. Yeah. It's fantastic.

I'm not gonna like it, but will I go to it and enjoy the process of going to a movie and will I enjoy that you guys like it? Yes. I think you're gonna like the movie. I think you'll like Pyakon, the mighty tolkun. Listen, there's gonna be stuff in that I like for sure. Yeah. I love you.

I love when you guys talk about the whale and the whale. It's one of my favorite things. Now we're moved on for the whale. We're all Megalopolis now. Yeah. Does anyone jerk off after reading a Goofball sub in Megalopolis? Francis Ford Coppola was, I know we're a Coppola Goofballs.

Yeah, that's right. in Megalopolis? Francis Ford Coppola was, I know we're a Coppola goofballs. I know we're a Coppola goofballs. Yeah, that's right. We barely ever got that right. I got it kind of right kind of once. Francis Ford Coppola was at my screening for the one I went to. How fun is that? Yeah. And then there was like, they did the live aspect

and everything like that. Weiger did an Adam Driver voice last night that sounded a lot like Buffalo Bill. And who else did it sound like? We were saying- Alana thought I was doing Bane. Oh, she thought you were doing Bane. But a pretty good Adam Driver when it all came down to it.

I'm not impressed. That's why I do what I could. No, I don't want to rain on, so speaking of things that people like, I didn't mean to cut you off. Speaking of things that people like, that I maybe don't like as much. There's things I like about Harvey's,

but I do have an issue in that that bite was better weirdly. And I think it was just that the ratio of burger was better. Yeah. I just don't think I love the burger Patty at Harvey. I will say this. I didn't taste a huge difference between the Angus Burger and the original patty, what I had of yours, in the restaurant. I got the Angus Burger with cheese, which is a flame grilled Angus Burger

with 100% Canadian beef, processed cheddar style cheese slice, and your choice of toppings on a toasted golden bun, so it is a single as opposed to the big Harv, which is a double and has two different kinds of cheeses. I didn't taste a huge difference, and neither of them was I like, wow, this is great. And this is the thing, A&W Canada, which is up here, one of the best burgers I've ever had on the podcast and one of my personal favorite chain restaurants we've ever visited.

We can get that teen crunch burger. I'm getting the teen crunch burger this week. And then the, and you know, like, like similarly, and this is, this is not in Canada, but like Culver's, is another point, like, like I'm going to these burger places and I'm like,, and this is not in Canada, but like Culver's is another point, like I'm going to these burger places, I'm like, oh, this is fucking great. Dick's Drive-In in Seattle, I'm like, this is a fucking great fast food burger.

This is terrific, this is exactly what I want. I'm going to Harvey's and I'm having a similar sort of experience that I had in Whataburger in Texas, which I'm like, I get that people like this. I understand that people have affection for it, I get they have a nostalgia for it, but like me coming to it as an outsider, honestly, it's maybe what a lot of people

who aren't from California feel like the first time they have it in and out as an adult. Where they're kind of like, this is what the big deal is. The thing that everyone's talking about. Exactly. It's interesting. I wonder if the draw, cause I kind of agreed, like I got an Angus burger,

but I sort of customized it a little bit. And I wonder if the draw is sort of Customizing this burger. I did customize it to the point of like I added jalapenos because a bit of a heat seeker so If and the end I did a Harvestyle whatever that is what I did was do you guys remember the movie small show small soldiers? Of course course and of course gave way to the birth of the rodeo burger Yeah changed everything changed everything stuff became the birth of the rodeo burger. Yeah, changed everything. Changed everything. Became a fixture of the menu. And I approximated a rodeo burger.

Wow. Wow. Because you can get four onion rings on your burger and barbecue sauce. And so I did that. And I think their onion ring, I don't know if you guys tried them. I think their onion rings are made to be on a burger. Because when I got them outside of the burger,

I was like, these are okay, a little thin for my taste. But on the burger, I haven't had a good time. I haven't had a rodeo burger in a long time. Yeah, that's a fun bit of customization. I didn't think you'd, of going that exotic. Yeah, yeah. RIP Phil Hartman, who's in Small Soldiers. That's right.

Diced, for the onions for the burger, diced onions. Yes, I like the diced onions. But then if you want the big round onions, you gotta get onion rings, which, why? Because when I went back and ordered my burger, I got a little surprise for us. I got onion rings and a different poutine. I had the onion rings and there was a moment

I was like, is this the low key MVP of the meal? I thought they were really good onion rings. They're not like my favorite style. Like I kind of like a little bit thicker with a little bit more of a like bready batter. These on the fucking burger were great. I really fucking liked that. But I'm with you, like the meat

didn't necessarily blow me away, but I wanna know if you guys got any of their chicken products. We did not get the chicken, well we did. Well we did kind of. We did in a sense. We got the, so this comes to, we got combos with poutine. I'm on the toilet texting Wags everything I want

on my burger. Yeah. And which he did a great job, but the only thing he got wrong was the Angus part. That was it. Yeah. And then you like the Angus one better, weirdly. Anyway, so we had the regular classic poutine, and we also got the regular buffalo chicken poutine. And then the Mitch, the little surprise that you got

was the triple pickle poutine. So we get these three different poutines. Regular classic poutine, I'll just read this menu description in case anyone's unfamiliar with poutine. It is a crispy golden fries made with 100% Canadian potatoes topped with vegetarian gravy and cheese curds made with Canadian dairy. The buffalo chicken poutine adds to those curds and dairy. I'm sorry, the gravy and curds and fries adds seasoned chicken

breast and buffalo sauce. Yeah, fried chicken. Yeah, it's fried chicken. And then the triple pickle one, which is- Who's the Canadian version of Peter North? Peter's way north? Peter Great North? Yeah, fuck. Yours made sense. I said Peter, I said Peter Way North. Hey, that went through my head as well.

Yeah. Yeah. The poutine, trickable pickle poutine, the poutine that went viral, now with triple the pickle, is our signature premium poutine, trickable pickle poutine, the poutine that went viral, now with triple the pickle, is our signature premium poutine with two deep fried pickles, diced pickles and garlic dill drizzle. So those are the three different poutines we had. But before we get into those, the chicken you got,

what chicken did you get? So I didn't get any poutine because of course, I don't necessarily love eating cheese. Yeah, you're not a cheese guy. Not a cheese guy, so I didn't get any poutine. We're baffled by that. But other than that, I looked at the menu and I said, give me everything.

So I got everything outside of the poutine. That was Snoke saying to Ray, as he was hanging in the air. How could we forget that? Yeah, he just wants the location of Luke Skywalker. So I got crispy chicken sandwich. I got their chicken nuggets. Wow. And I got every dessert they had.

Wow. And I also got the hot dog, the grilled hot dog. I didn't see a hot dog. Okay, now guys, the burger to me was the low point. And I didn't hate it. But I thought the chicken, that piece of chicken was so good. Obviously you guys have had every chicken sandwich

from all the chains. I don't know if it's better than like a Wendy's. To me, it maybe felt a little bit better than Wendy's. Wow. My reaction to your order is kind of like the subtitle to Super Size Me Too. Holy chicken. It is kind of like that.

Kind of is, yeah. Is that what the subtitle is? It is, yeah. But, so the chicken sandwich I thought was pretty good. I wonder what you guys think about their buns. Like. So the buns, as they describe, is toasted golden buns.

I like the buns. I thought they were pretty good. So like, I thought the chicken sandwich was pretty fucking solid. The quality of the meat was something I was responding to. And then the like nuggets, look, I'll eat a chicken nugget or a chicken tender anywhere, but they're often not great.

Right. I thought these were pretty fucking good. I got some sweet hot sauce. We should've tried some more chicken sauce. It was good. And then the hot dog. Now I don't necessarily, like hot dogs are fine. I don't love eating hot dogs

from a fast food place especially. Like I need one off a barbecue grill like at a house or something. That's ideal, yeah. But these had grill marks. It's a grilled hot dog. And I was like, oh, that's gonna be bullshit. They had grill marks.

And it was fucking good. Wow. They got a flame grill right there. This was like a fucking good hot dog from a fast food place. And I was like really impressed with the quality of, like it's nothing about the flavors were like too like novel in my opinion. I bet the poutine had some of that,

but I felt like the quality was like, this is better than most fucking franchises like this in the States, I thought, quality-wise. Like, to me, this is like, if you go to Jack in the Box and get a chicken sandwich, this one is so much better. And I don't know if the price is the same, but I don't know, I thought it was good. Well, Jack in the Box is like,

and I like Jack in the Box, but it is garbage. It's low quality. It is, the reputation that Arby's has is the reputation that Jack in the Box should have. But Arby's is actually good. I think Harvey's is like, correct me if I'm wrong, Mars, is that like open 24 hours in a lot of places? Oh, okay, maybe I'm, and W is open 24 hours.

But it's open late. And I'm like, for that, I'm like, oh, it's gonna be some low quality bullshit, but it was good. No, I think it's, I mean, I think it's open late. And I'm like, for that, I'm like, oh, it's going to be some low quality bullshit, but it was good. No, I think it's, I mean, I think it's pretty decent food. The burger, I agree, was not like the thing that like impressed me, but I thought the poutine was really good. And we liked the poutine quite a bit.

I really like the classic poutine. Like, who am I to judge poutine? But just as in my limited poutine experience, as an American, I'm like, this is a really good execution of the dish. And I do really like poutine. Like when I have good poutine, I'm like, this is delicious. Harvey's poutine is good. And Alana told us that it's one of the better poutines for a fast food restaurant.

I like that. And I think that it's pretty good. I like the classic one better than the variants. I thought the variants were unguppacca, but the variants were still good. The buffalo chicken in particular was very tasty. Buffalo chicken was, we were surprised that it was good. Yeah.

The pickle one I liked okay. Yeah. Did you get a sense of the chicken quality in the buffalo chicken one? Yeah, it was good chicken. It was good crispy chicken. It's solid. Do you remember that old rhyme, give me a nickel, I'll tickle your pickle?

I do remember that. What disgusting, what disgusting times. Sick shit. The 90s, disgusting times. A nickel, at least a dime. What was that? I heard kids would say that. Kids would say that, give me a nickel, I'll tickle your pickle.

Give me a nickel, tickle your pickle. Do you know this reference at all or no? I've heard it, I don't know if I said it as a kid, but. And I'm handing out nickels left and right. Nothing, I don't know what's happening. Pickle hanging out from under your shorts. Okay, where's the next step? Let's move this thing along.

Anyways, the pickles were good. The pickles were good. Yeah, there were two big pickle spears fried on top of it. Yes. And they were pretty tasty. But yeah. Did you guys get the fried pickles or did you just have it in there?

That's what they were. They were on top of the triple pickle poutine. Yeah. Okay, let's get to desserts. Cause you got all of them. I got all available on Puget. Wow. Okay, so we got two in restaurant.

We got frozen nerds. Sounds like Canadian dough boys fans. I liked it. That was pretty good. And we also got the shake made with score, which is a salted caramel shake base with score bits. Well, that's so interesting because I did not get either of those.

Wow. I got a whole other thing. Like, okay, here's what I got. There were these like mini donuts or something. Fun. And then there were like two, you know how like Popeyes has their like little apple pocket thing?

Yeah. They had an apple pocket similar to Popeyes. Yeah. Then they had one that was filled with birthday cake flavor. Let me guess. Apple pocket. Tim Cook's coming out with it next year. Oh, God. I saw him light up as I was saying it.

I go, what's going through Nick's head? Wait for the next keynote, I guess. What about the apple pocket? Dancing around the stage. People will be waiting outside for this. It's going to be frozen nerds. So wait, what are frozen nerds? I didn't even see that on the menu.

It is a blue raspberry slushie. Yes, go on, Mitch. I just, when I took a sip of it, I was like, this is exactly, I could have told you what this was without drinking it. So it's like a nerds candy flavored slushie. It's nerds candy and a slushie and a blue raspberry slushie. And so your second up nerds is your second up slushie. Think about nerds candy and a slushie and a blue raspberry slushie. And so you're sucking up nerds as you're sucking up that slushie. Think about what that would taste like and you had it.

Yeah. You're just like, yep, you had it. I feel like even when I was in elementary school, I used to take nerds and put them in my orange juice or some shit. Probably almost very similar. It's like a slush puppy or whatever, which I know that you don't know slush puppies.

But are slush puppies up here in Canada? You got slush puppies here. My experience was I had these donuts. I start biting into them like, oh, these aren't so good. They're kind of a little cold and like, you know, little, I don't know if they're called apple cider donuts, but they're like cinnamon-y or whatever. Love apple cider donuts.

So I put those down and then I like took a bite of the like birthday cake flavor. First of all, they look identical. So I didn't know which one was which. So I bite into one and then I took a bite of the birthday cake flavor. First of all, they look identical, so I didn't know which one was which. So I bite into one and it's white with sprinkles in the middle. And it was pretty good. And I thought, I hope Nick gets this

because I think he likes birthday cake. I do love birthday flavor. I didn't see those on the menu. It was surprisingly good and not overly sweet and cloying. Like it was actually pretty good, whatever they do to make that cream in there. And I had the apple, I mean I finished them. I said I'm going to take, first of all, I was going to go to the Doughboy show last night. Did not end up making the show.

What happened? Well here's what happened. Here's what happened. I ended doing a podcast on Zoom and I was like, let me order Harveys and then I'll go to the Doughboy show. And I ate so much of this fucking Harveys that I texted Mitch, I was like, I'm sick, I wanna die. I can't go anywhere. I was like, I'll take a bite of each of these things,

but I ate a decent amount of it and it was surprising. Anyone who told me they weren't coming to the show is a good choice. But also your experience of you ate so much food and you feel sick. But then imagine immediately after that, you're contractually obligated to do a live performance. Cause that's a live show. I think I texted Mitch, I feel like shit, I want to die.

I don't know how you guys do this. We haven't done it in three months. I feel great. Wags feels great. It's true, I do feel better. I mean, does it feel crazy that you guys didn't record for so long and now you're back? It didn't help that we did a live show immediately

into not recording for three months or whatever. It would have been nice to have like a couple studio shows to get back into a rhythm before we got on stage. But you know, I thought we did all right. All right, all things considered. Well, the episode came out last week. The listeners will be the judge. They'll be the judge.

They'll be the judge. But yeah, I think I'm, I'm pissed you guys didn't get the hot dog. Like I thought you would have been, Yeah, you know there was a hot dog. I think you would have been pleasantly surprised at like what must feel like an afterthought on the menu which is kind of done kind of well.

Wow. It had grill marks on it and it had grill marks not like the short way, the long way. Wow. Which. That's dangerous, it can fall through the grill the short way, the long way. Wow. That's dangerous. It can fall through the grill. That's what I was thinking. Lose a fucking dog down there.

That's why. Top dog turned to bottom dog. Turn to bird dog. We should have tried a few different things. But look, I walked into Harvey's and I was in the danger zone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't have much time to think you were just working off instinct at this point. I wasn't sick, but I wasn't well,

because I had to use the toilet. And so I went in not feeling great. And I think that there was still some stuff I really enjoyed there, but I don't know if it's been my favorite restaurant so far. What did you think of the Scorsci? Because I thought that was delightful. I thought it was very good. I really liked it, but I don't know if it's been my favorite restaurant so far. What did you think of the, of the Scorsci? Cause I thought that was delightful. I thought it was very good.

I really liked it. The frozen nerds I was like, I was not super excited by, but I also generally don't like slushies as much as I like like a smoothie or a- Do you get brain freeze? No, I don't. I'm immune to it. I get really bad brain freeze. He doesn't get it, which is kind of creepy.

I don't get it. Yeah, I guess you're- It's like when someone tells you like, I've never had a headache. I'm just like, yeah, what? I've never farted. All right. Something's up with you That's I've had multi like not multiple. There's been like a couple people in my life Who's like I've never had a headache before you know what are you talking about? Yeah? Yeah, isn't that insane?

I get headaches. I just like where I was just like are you a liar like I don't get he does, but he does not get brain freeze Here's look. I know I do the lettuce wrap sometimes. Yeah. This is going to be a lettuce rip. One of the worst things at Harvey's is that lettuce. Wow. I do not like the lettuce. The lettuce rip.

I'm sorry. I'm hearing something in the low volumes. Is someone, is something blank? Uh, I'm listening to a different, a different episode. Wow. Wives got distracted by Doughboys. So this episode sucks. There's also an episode coming out tomorrow

that we have to write a description for. I'm trying to listen because there's another episode coming out tomorrow. I have to listen to it. I'm just trying to tune in to it. She doesn't like the podcast. It's not like she's doing it for fun. She's at work right now.

I'm trying to multitask. If you can hear it, I will do it later. No, no, no, you can do it. I think just we were getting some headphone bleed and we were just able to- Then it won't work. I think if it's quieter, it's probably fine. I had heard it earlier too, but I didn't care.

Oh, okay. I know it came from you. This episode is good and I was sad to put the headphones on. Wait, that episode is good or is this episode good? No, this episode, this current one. So you guys bully all your listeners, even the ones that work for you. What was that episode?

Strange Brew. That episode sucks. That episode sucks. It's a bad one. That's how we start the month off. It's bad. I literally told Amelia she doesn't have to listen to all of it, just enough to write the description.

Have you seen the classic Canadian comedy, Strange Brew? I'd never seen it before. I had not, no. And I feel like I was told to watch it when I was maybe going to work on something. They're like, oh, Strange, Bruce, something you can watch. And I just never did. We watched it for the podcast. I thought I'd seen it before.

And then I was like, I think I've just seen pieces of this. And then I've seen the Great White North, the bit, the Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas bit. And the movie is- It was the last episode we recorded before we went by last. It was the last episode we did in studio in July before this hiatus, but it is a bizarre movie, but it's kind of wonderfully bizarre.

Cause it's just like, oh, these two funny guys just got to make this weird movie where they clearly didn't have a lot of like guardrails. It's like, you wish there was more of that. We talk about it and then we're also probably like, man, I wonder if Biden will be okay coming November. We're like, it's just so dated still. It is very fun to listen to the episodes where it's like,

the Celtics just won the championship. Yes. Oh my god. I got in trouble for that. I mentioned it maybe one too many times. You can't be in trouble for that. You're a fucking fan. Enjoy your win.

It was great. Score shake, a score shake was really, really yummy. We should get to our fourth score. And the Celtics are about to, the season's about to start again. Yeah, yeah, which is crazy. But wait, I do want to say, so I had, what was your stomach reaction?

And I guess you're still live in it right now. What was your stomach reaction to Harvey's? Because mine was like, initially feeling like shit, but eventually evened out a little bit. It's not fair almost to Harvey. I mean, look. Because you ate another meal before it. Honestly, it's not fair to even swish LA,

because we came off of eating 5,000 calories of Tim Hortons yesterday, probably. And we got drinks last night. And then we got some drinks last night. And then I came into today to having Swiss chalet for breakfast and then having Harveys for lunch an hour later. And I had had Harveys before. And it is heavy.

I think it is. I think it's like, if you have poutine, it's going to fuck with you no matter what. Yeah. And if you get that Angus burger, you feel like you ate a bunch of fucking meat. Probably this guy ate the whole thing. I did half of it. I couldn't even eat the fucking whole thing. No, I finished my burg. Uh, and I also had, I think I'll have steps in today, but I finished, I finished my burg and then I also had probably about three quarters of the, of an order of poutine over the, over the three poutines that we shared. So, you know, I ate a decent amount of food and I had a good amount of...

I drank my old Pepsi Zero. Is this a Pepsi country? Is that another thing? Maybe Canada might be a Pepsi country. I mean, maybe. Is this a Pepsi country? We have a lot of Coke on set, but I think I've definitely seen restaurants are Pepsi heavy. There's a lot of Pepsi.

Yeah, the restaurants have Pepsi a lot of the time. Marsha said- Did Stephanie talk about Pepsi last night? Is this a Pepsi nation? Does she like Pepsi? I'd say it's pretty split. I don't think there's a variable to either or. Okay.

I believe Stephanie Beatrice mentioned on set that she likes Pepsi Zero. She's a Pepsi person. She's like a diet Pepsi. Diet Pepsi, yeah. She's like, likes Pepsi over Coke. Yeah. He was a Pepsi family growing up.

We were a Pepsi family. I was as well. My aunt worked at a bottling company in Jamaica. So we would get sodas delivered to our house, like milk crates and stuff and glass bottles, and it was all Pepsi. I think we talked about this before, and yeah, it's awesome, yeah.

Oh, I did wanna say, Mitch, I know that last night when you, or today when you went to Harvey's, you had to take a shit. Yes. And you probably had a feeling that is best described by Ray, when she says, something inside me has always been there,

and now it's awake, and I'm afraid. I don't know what it is, or what to do with it, and I need help. Ray had a shit? Yeah. I'm surprised you hate this movie Ray had to shit so hard Just going to Luke, Luke help me

Find me a bathroom, find me a single stall Where I can take a shit So I just, you know there's things to relate to In the movie that I don't know Luke's like I'm drinking this uh Green milk straight from the titty Yeah, keeps me regular I like that part, maybe that's the only part I like I do like the green milk straight from the titty. Yeah, keeps me regular That's maybe that's the only part I like you like the green milk. Yeah, you're admitting you like a part

Hey, I'm starting I'm starting away on the guy You're so cynical that you like last Jedi that's what they don't know That's not me being so wanted to kill you first of all you want to kill JJ Abrams for the first time you saw a force That is true. I didn't have a Abrams the first time you saw Force Awakens. That is true. I did not have a great adventure with Force Awakens. And then you hated Last Jedi the first time you saw it as well. I came around to Last Jedi. Did you like The Force Awakens? No, I didn't.

What did you not like about it? I thought that it just felt like a junkie remake. Yeah, it's like they were so obsessed with the past and they needed to let it go. So it does feel like The Last Jedi is in conversation with that. They all feel the same, god damn it. And of course, Yoda is saying failure is the greatest teacher. I always feel like The Last Jedi is in conversation with that. They all feel the same, god damn it.

And of course Yoda is saying failure is the greatest teacher. We failed with Force Awakens. Look, they're only gonna... We need to do something new. Our listeners are dumb. They're only gonna be on your side. I don't think that's true. I think a lot of people hate my opinion on this one. But I don't care. I just like messing with you. It's fine that you don't like it.

I wish I could win you over on Goodfellas more. I know you do not like Goodfellas. But guess what? I think Goodfellas is a good movie. It's just not for me. This is the thing, cause you know, having a movie podcast,

it's like there must be an element of, people are always saying your opinion is wrong. Oh, I mean, absolutely. But at the same time, like, I like shit. You know, I'm just gonna like the stuff I like. And there are very few movies that I think are really bad, but a lot of times I end up liking them because they're just fun to watch.

Sure. But yeah, look, our opinion. You gotta see Megalopolis. Yeah, I mean, me and Scott had to do a whole episode where we had to like, we called it Clearing the Air About Killers of the Flower Moon, where we had to like actually explain our opinion on it. And I don't want to get into it now

because the fucking Discord will go crazy. But... Did you like it or did you... Again, I think it's a good movie. I just, I don't care. I don't care. I think a lot of people with Scorsese see his movies and they think that he's promoting the bad guys.

I know he's not. Yeah. But that doesn't take away from the fact that people take it that way. Oh, 100%. But I don't want to get into it. We don't really, I think Mitch and I, both are people who love that movie.

Yeah. And I also say, I read the book, so it was like, just as an adaptation, I was like, this is such an impressive work. I'll be honest, with distance from talking about the movie on the podcast. Like I think it's great. Like it's just like ultimately like I'm a little frustrated

in the storytelling, but if that's what really happened what am I supposed to be upset about? Everyone says I hate everything. I saw the substance recently. I liked the substance. Did you? I liked the substance. Substance was good. I liked the substance. Substance was fun.

It's a real nasty movie. Maybe I'm not gonna watch it. No, it's not too scary. It liked The Substance. Substance was good. I liked The Substance, Substance was fun. That's a real nasty movie. Maybe too scary for me, maybe I'm not gonna watch it. No, it's not too scary, it's gross, but it's not too scary. It's gross, yeah. Well, I could do scary, I think I don't like gross, is the thing. Oh, so that's the thing. Then it is too gross, it's very gross. Then it is, it's probably too gross.

Really gross. It's gross. It's the whole thing, it's being gross. I know that we're doing scary movies for Scott Hasn't Seen This Month, and I've gotten by with three movies we've done so far, are Wes Craven's New Nightmare, which is not that gross. Yeah, I like that movie a lot. That's a great movie.

It's pretty fun. A movie called Lady in White, which is just like a kids movie that's not very scary. And then we did Practical Magic. Oh, sure, yeah. Which is like another not scary movie. But we have Zach Craig coming on for the last week, and he's tasked with picking the most devious, nasty thing ever.

Wow. So I'm really afraid. I won't say what movie we're doing, but it's, it's, I've read about it, and I'm not happy. Can you say it and we'll bleep it? Yeah. I'm doing a movie called ****. Oh, wow. Do you know that movie? Yeah, I've seen it.

That's an intense movie. I don't like that your guys' reaction is so... I mean, I don't think you're gonna like it. I don't think you're gonna like it at all. I even read the Wikipedia in anticipation to be like, OK, how do you prepare for this? And I'm not gonna be happy. Emma, Amelia, Mars, where do y'all stand on scary and gross?

I'm with Sean. I can do scary. I don't mind like thriller. I hate gore. Yeah, gore, body horror. Absolutely not. Can't watch it. It's too visceral.

It feels like it's happening to me. I have to leave the room. Yeah. Like when I saw Clockwork Orange for the first time and they like pride his eyes open, I had to shut it off. Yeah, that's real nasty shit. I like wouldn't do it. It was too weird.

It's a hard one to watch. And also he like scratches Cornea. I've literally never seen that movie past that point because I can't Mars you're wincing while we're talking through that so imagine you're similar on everything Wow I find body horror to be really disturbing but I like it okay sure but like I think Mrs. Doubtfire is a body horror review of the substance will, like... Interesting, interesting. That was your review of the substance. Yeah. You liked the substance.

I liked the substance a lot. Again, it was disgusting and I was crawling in my seat the whole time, but, and it was kind of like a remake of Mrs. Doubtfire in a way. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I don't know. There's a morbid curiosity that comes with it.

Like, have you seen the movie tusk I'm not watching it for the things I've heard I will say Mitch one of the first things you shot this season Without spoiling it. There's a little bit of body horror involved there is Wow and Keep an eye out for that one Twisted Metal season 2 comes out. That's, it is disgusting. It's disgusting, but I think it's pretty funny. Just Mitch taking a shit. Oh my God! And a Harbys. His pants are on!

Is this a one shot of me in a Harby stall? Ah! Twisted Metal. This is a weird cold open. All right, we gotta get to our fork score for Harbys. By the way, it looks like an AT-AT behind a shot. I thought the exact same thing. It does look like a fucking AT-AT.

It's gotta be an AT-AT, right? It's gotta be an Perkz. It's gotta be a fucking AT-AT. I think it's a fucking AT-AT. I think it is. We have an AT-AT. And you can tell that by the straight legs, they haven't updated their technology

to be a little bit more robust, kinda like on Crate. Oh my God. They have monkey-like arms, and that's to, of course, protect against Luke flying around with the damn cable. Right. Good thing he dissa- It's a good world building. Good thing he decides to disappear, momentarily. Yeah, yeah, I guess it's like, I don't know,

how do you want to kill one of the most major characters? I think it's great that he disappears and just leaves the world for Rey to take up the mantle Well, he exhausts his force power. I think the logic is right. It's one of the most beautiful deaths in Star Wars history Oh my fucking god. Anyways, and of course the shot of Han Solo's famous dice as well Which disappeared and and what cynical fucker? The famous dice I love the day because the dice no you don't the dice he doesn't love the dice the dice is a perfect indication that Leia knows that it is a force projection because

she leaves the dice behind yes okay Mitch so forks course you know the drill it's out of zero to five forks as we're working our way through Toronto, Doe, Canada. Well, look, I have been enjoying my time in Canada. I really, really like the food quality here. I think the restaurants are really great. I haven't done a ton of like fast food chains, honestly, outside of what they bring us at work. And those are hit or miss because they're giant orders.

So I don't often get stuff like this. I will say that like the Jamaican food I've had out here is fucking awesome. Even the kind of chainy Scotty Bonds that I described to you is serviceable. And I was expecting this to be very shitty and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. The burger isn't incredible,

but the fact that you can kind of customize it, which is something I like to do when it comes to burgers and shit. It is fun, yeah. And to get something that is sort of like a rodeo burger, which, to be clear, it's never a rodeo burger unless it has A1 barbecue sauce. Yeah.

Which they used to sell in the bottle, and they don't anymore. It's kind of a bummer. Um, but I thought the chicken was really high quality. The hot dog was kind of a hitter and I thought the desserts are pretty good. Man, I'm right between three and a half and four and I think I'm going to go with my experience. I'm going to go four forks. Four forks, wow, good score. You should go next. Yeah. Here's the thing.

I really enjoyed Harvey's. I wish I'd had the hot dog. And I do wish I'd had more of the chicken because hearing that that's like a standout thing, I mean, my understanding, everything I've heard about the Harvey's is like, oh yeah, burgers, burgers, poutine. That's what this place does.

They have, they do a great poutine, fast food poutine. Um, and, uh, you know, the, the, the burgers are, are like legit. I just am comparing this in my, in my mind and my mouth to A&W Canada, and perhaps that's unfair, but I'm just like, Hey, think about it. A big glass mug, cold with a root beer in there. You don't get that at Harvey's. Yeah, it's missing. beer in there, you know get that at Harvey's. Yeah it's missing. An Uncle Burger, you know, which is the burger family. I just like what A&W Canada is doing more as a burger shop and the burger in particular was not a highlight here,

even though I thought it was good. I thought the poutine was great, the burger was good. Before you go on, do you judge Burger King on what McDonald's is doing, like in the States? To some degree, if I'm talking about a fork score, if I'm talking about something that's going to like, hey, this is going to gauge this restaurant relative to other restaurants. But yes, ultimately I am like,

how is this place achieved, what it is trying to do? Ultimately, yes, these chains are all competing against themselves, but still, this is like a burger restaurant, the burger should be the thing, right? Like the burger should be front and center. And I don't quite feel that's the case with Harvey's. I did still like it. I did still enjoy it.

But we're talking about four forks as a threshold for the golden plate club. I don't know if I'm there with Harvey's based on this experience. So I think I'm gonna go three and a half forks, which was your low end. Wow. People might get mad at me for this.

I genuinely loved Tim Horton's, people were mad at me for it. I don't think Harvey's is as good as Tim Horton's for real. Wow. Do you agree with that Nick? Do you agree with that Nick? I think this is better, I think it's better than Tim Horton's.

I mean, I gave it a better fork score I gave Tim Hortons two and a half forks. I was maybe being nice to it and and but three and a half for Harvey I think the poutine is very good. I think they do some I think that that that I think the customization bar slows things down Quite a bit. Yeah, which is which is oh, I like that you can do it to be fair They have the same thing at five guys in the be fair, they have the same thing at Five Guys in the States. They have the same, and I don't know if they have Five Guys up here at all,

but it's like they have the same thing at Five Guys, and, but the system there is you order your burger with everything you want, they don't customize it as you go. So when you, so it's delivered in a more efficient manner. Five Guys burgers is a better quality burger. I don't even love Five Guys. Definitely a better burger. Definitely a better burger. Yeah. By the way, I'm about to pull an opening

of Twisted Metal season two. I'm about to have a one shot of me on the toilet. Give your fork score. I'll take the camera into the bathroom with me. Don't do that. Give your fork score and we can take a break. I gotta give that lettuce, I gotta give the lettuce rip. I didn't talk about it too much.

The lettuce was not, the veggies were not good. The. The lettuce was not good. The veggies were not good. The veggies weren't great, yeah. The veggies weren't great. And the lettuce just had like this taste of like wet lettuce taste. It was like a little like shredded lettuce. Well, I think that comes from the bar, like set up quality. It's like these things are all just sort of

sitting in trays all day. And I'm sure that maybe, you know what? I'm sure it varies. I'm sure there's sometimes when it's great, sometimes it's not so great. I don't hate it. I'm sure there's sometimes when it's great, sometimes it's not so great. I don't hate it. I thought that there was a lot of good stuff there. I think it's decent, but I'm going to the handholding club

with you, I'm going three and a half forks wide. Wow, three and a half forks for Harvey's a good outing. But a little bit short of the Golden Play Club. It's a little bit better for me. I didn't have the in-store experience, so I didn't experience the slowdown. It sounds like that you got some better items than and some of the I got some items that I thought Were pretty good. I'd be interested to hear if you guys were able to try them, but three and a half seems fair It was my second time there

I got a almost the same exact order and I went you know because of the weren't it tastes like worms like the woman Warned me I didn't do the Angus this time you know, because of the worm, it tastes like worms. Like the woman warned me, I didn't do the Angus this time. But in my mind, the burger is the star of the show there. It's supposed to be, and it's just okay. It's good, it's a good burger. Maris, what's the Toronto's perspective on Harvey's? I love Harvey's so much.

I think it's a great burger, even like over an hour old. I love, you could customize it. I find that the pickles are incredible. My movies, I always ask for pickles on the side because then you just get a free snack on the side. That's fun. But I love Harvey's and I think it's beloved across the city. What would you, what fork rating we're talking about here?

Out of five. I would give it a four. Four, okay. We're in the same, we're in the right ballpark. We're close, we're close. We seem to be more in touch with the actual opinion of the people. Um, but I think your think your guys score is fair.

I, there's some stuff I think you guys still need to try. And look, I got a month. You got a month. You got some time, so maybe I'll get to it. You got a week. I got a little bit of time. I'll get a hot dog. I'll get a hot dog.

That's all you need to get. You'll take a shit. We'll take a break We'll be back with more dough boys All right, we're back Mitch feeling better cleaned out why 10-1 not a 10-2 or 10-3 like we were talking about. This is showbiz lingo when you have to for you can figure out what the numbers are. 10-1, 10-2 and you can figure out what 3 is. Yeah it's jerking off. It's jerking off. We'll just tell you it's jerking off. Mitch is on another 10-3 break. Um, I took antibiotics. We're gonna have to wait like 12 seconds to get this shot.

I took antibiotics, I was sick, and I'm still in coughing. In the live show I was coughing. I took antibiotics, which sucks being sick during filming. Yes. But there was this, and they pump, there was like, There's smoke in every scene, and I think, I'm convinced that's what got you sick in the first place.

Oh, sure. I think it maybe is what got me sick in the first place. I was like crawling through smoke at one point, and then a character was giving a monologue, and I was like dripping my chair, trying not to cough, and I was coughing during it, but. And I was there watching, knowing, oh, Mitch is gonna be so annoying about this afterwards,

even though it's not a big deal at all. He was totally fine. He's gotten many texts of me being like, I fucked up, I'm even though it's not a big deal at all. It was totally fine. He's gotten many texts of me being like, I fucked up, I'm sorry, it's happened a lot. No, Mitch has been crushing it, and he, yeah. I'm self-conscious. You're doing great, I'm sure. Thank you, Wags.

Hey, we got a bunch of chips and we're gonna eat them all. It's another edition of Chips and Hail Rest You Rangers.

Ch-ch-ch-chips inhale. OK, so why do you trail off there at the end? What are you talking about? At the end of the song, you kind of like trailed off a little bit. No, no, we got to get to business here. You know what's good is that that sucks in the States and it sucks up here.

We get some Lay's All Dressed. There's two different types of all dressed in there. There's Ruffles All Dressed and Lay's All Dressed. And then there is ketchup chips in there. All right, so let's start with the, okay, Lay's ketchup. And then we'll do these. And then those other ones are sour cream and bacon. We just thought that sounded insane.

Wags, I actually think you can eat them, because if you read the ingredients list, bacon is not listed. Yeah, I'm guessing those will be fine. I think there's probably just a bacon flavor, but thank you for checking there. So, yes, we've got these all dressed ruffles, these all dressed lays. I haven't had actually, I've had the all dressed,

I think the ruffles only. The ruffles are the, those are the big ones. Yeah, I've had these. Those are the ones I've had. I haven't had the lays. You know what? I just don't remember. And we've got the ketchup and we've got the ruffles. What should we do?

I think we do all dressed for laughs. Yeah, okay, let's do all dress for laughs. People are like, when you know, when we're like, oh, the podcast makes us unhealthy, you're thriving. You're in the best shape you've been in the last few months. Yeah, no, yeah, I haven't been in the last. I've lost weight, even though you probably can't tell, but I walk a lot more out here.

I'm not eating fast food all the time. People saw the live show and they were like, except for one guy, he was like, he's wearing a loose shirt. I wasn't wearing a loose shirt. Look, very many positive comments, which were very nice. I was gonna say, I don't ever tell you to go read the Reddit, but there was a whole thread last night in the Reddit that was like, slim king.

It shows that the podcast is bad for us. Yeah, it's bad for us, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just the truth. Do you guys go, do you do a six months on, six months off scenario where you double up on recording and just record for the whole year and then have a healthy six months?

That's interesting. You're hitting on something. We're not gonna do that, don't worry. But there might be, things might change, who knows? There's some changes coming to the podcast. Two weeks on, two weeks off. Wow. We might be ending the podcast.

Yes. I gotta say, I do like your guys' pitch of just doing stuff. Yeah, just doing items. I think items is good. How's this? It's time for the podcast to end. Damn it, Mitch. I just got fucking chills. Okay, let's start with these Lay's ketchup.

And here's the thing, I think we should honestly, here's what I'll do, I'll try not to crinkle this up too much in the microphone for the misophonias. I've had ketchup chips in Lay's ketchup chips. I'm gonna say this. Fuck. What? I don't know, I just saw something flew out

as I opened this up. You're fine. It's all good. Was it a bug? Looked like shrapnel. Okay, I'm gonna try it. I've opened these sour cream and bacon chips. I will try one as we talk about.

I like it. Okay, great. I'm gonna have some of this ketchup too. The ketchup chips, I've come around on ketchup chips. I like them. You know what? They're not too sweet. Mars bringing us napkins.

The Lay's ketchup have a nice vinegar taste to them. Yeah, I do like that aspect of it. Here, hand me something. Thank you. Distem, while we're having these, we've talked about your food preferences in the past. I hear there's something of a picky eater. Yeah. Picky bitch, yeah. We tried to have you on the bowls tournament. You said you don't eat bowls. I don't fuck with bowls. We tried to have you on the subs tournament. You said you don't fuck with subs. Yeah. Obviously you don't eat cheese. This is a thing we've talked

about. I swear it is. Are there any other no-'t eat cheese. This is a thing we've talked about. I was going to say this. Are there any other no-goes? The one that weirded us out the most was, I don't fuck with subs. I don't fuck with subs. Very disorienting. Yeah. Generally too wet of a food for me. Are there any other no-goes?

I'm sure there are. I think there's stuff that I only like in certain preparations, like mushrooms is one, where like certain things with mushrooms I'm not really gonna love. I don't love mushrooms personally. There are some things that I do like, like honestly I used to really like when someone would make like a big portobello like as a burger

or something. Yeah, that's fine. Just so can I tell you this, you need to eat like six to seven ketchup chips. Okay, I only have two in my hand. I'm not lying, you have to eat a few ketchup chips. In order to get the flavor? Because it changes over to just a vinegar taste.

Instead of, do you get what I'm saying? No, the sweetness kind of falls away a little bit, the more you have of them, but I do like ketchup chips. Not as much as the all dress generally, but I think you're fun. These are on set every day, and I generally do not get them. Because I thought, I don't know, is the idea of like dried ketchup,

just the smell of that is not good. I had a friend in elementary, in middle school who like for Halloween didn't have blood. So he just doused his shirt in ketchup. Oh God. And he smelled like shit so hard. Yeah, that's nasty. Felt really bad for him.

But these are not as bad as I thought they would be. They're almost more like tomato chips. I mean, they're ketchup chips. I'm gonna pass these over to the producers' desk. I shouldn't try to change them. They are, you keep spinning your mic. The sweetness is not, I didn't expect the sweetness. I don't know if I love the sweetness,

but it's making it more palatable than I thought. Yeah. And the sweetness, it tastes, the vinegar is like the number one. Mars, you've had these, Jesus Christ. Mars, you've had ketchup chips before. What are your thoughts on ketchup chips?

I like them. Honestly, you guys picked a really good selection. If I was at like a Canadian house party, this is like exactly what the setup would be. Really? Hell yeah. Good choice. Mars, can you get us into a couple Canadian house parties?

I don't know about that. Oh god. Immediately didn't try to. So those aren't bad. Lay's I sometimes find are a little too jagged. They really cut the inside of my mouth a little bit. Yeah. But those aren't bad.

Sharp chips, they're always gotta watch out for sharp chips. It is wild how much this chip, the first one you eat tastes like you just put a spoonful of ketchup in your mouth. And then it kinda goes. But it goes away. It goes away. Now these sour cream and bacon chips, these are okay. Do you know what I wish they were?

Yeah. And I don't know if they have this. Is there a like maple syrupy bacon chip out there? Oh, that would be fun. Because this almost at first feels like there's a little syrup or something on it, but I'm like, oh, then I'm missing it. Here's what I don't like about these.

Look, I told you the antibiotics have done a number on my stomach and this is not gonna help. Yeah. But I'm not gonna eat a lot of these because I don't like smoke. I think smoke is such an overpowering. Like liquid smoke? Liquid smoke, and I went to Mexico City, I went to a place called Pujol.

Pujol, and I had one of the best meals of my life and it came with a mezcal tasting. And I was like, I understand how sipping this mezcal is good, but if mezcal is in a cocktail, were you here when I said this? No, I don't know. Mezcal, I said this while I was in Canada. But mezcal in a cocktail is just so overpowering. The smokiness of the mezcal just overtakes a cocktail, and I don't like it.

I'm with you. I like tequila better than mezcal. So much better. I like the smokiness. Natalie really likes the mezcal, likes the smokiness. I think it's just an individual thing, but I do like it. I like mezcal on the rocks or something. When you mix it into a cocktail, I do mostly taste mezcal. So I agree with that.

Tequila's my second favorite booze after rum. And you're probably right, this doesn't have like bacon flavor, it really is just probably smoke. Which is- Yeah, because I checked the ingredients to see if Wikes could eat them, and we looked at them earlier, There's no bacon in there. Wait, let me look at the ingredients real quick. I'm sorry.

Those are just okay, I will say. And I- Here's why Mitch doesn't like them. They don't have smoke flavor. They have snook flavor. Oh my God. That makes so much sense. What is snook?

I also don't even know if those are Canadian flavor. I just had never seen them before. So I'm gonna grab them. Yeah, I don't see these. We don't have these in the States. Mars, is this a Canadian flavor? Do you know it all? I don't know.

To me, that's just a regular flavor. It's just a regular flavor. Yeah. This might be like a default Canadian flavor. Who knows? Yeah, let him try. Okay, I'll pass these over. All right, we've got the...

The Snoke thing was good, but let him try. The Snoke thing was worth it. Yeah, thanks. Of course it was. All right, let him try. Mm-hmm. The Snoke thing was worth it. Yeah, of course it was. All right, let's try these all dressed. All dressed, I've been having the Lay's all dressed. I've had some of these Lay's all dressed. I think the issue here is regardless

if the seasoning is gonna be the same as the Ruffles, the fucking Ruffles texture is just so much better than Lay's. That's the thing, That's the key point. So what do we got here? Ruffles has ridges and that makes a huge difference. We got a bottle of vinegar here. I'm just seeing what's on the outside of the bag.

Yeah, I wanna get it. So this is the thing. A red pepper and a garlic, is that what we got? I love all dressed flavor. All dressed is so good. It's a little intense sometimes when you get a two coated chip, you know? But like most of the time it's a great flavor.

Uh oh. But I'm not sure what the actual definition of it is. So I'm bringing this up right now. I would say the internet claims that the flavors describe as a mix of ketchup, barbecue sauce, sour cream, onion, and salt and vinegar. Interesting. Interesting.

So like all the flavors. It's kind of all of them. That's how Ruffles describes it anyway. Ruffles all dressed are the one, but I gotta tell ya, I love Lay's salt and vinegar chips, and these are a lot like, yeah. Did you talk about, Mitch, did you talk about your C&E experience in the live show?

We talked about it for a second, but I didn't talk about, I had the unicorn corn, that's what we talked about mostly. There was a chicken tender there that was an all dressed coated chicken tender. That was like Ruffles chips coating the tender. And it was okay. It was okay. But it wasn't as good as the fruity pebbles

coated chicken tender. And you know what else was good? The cocoa pebbles. They were like kind of surprisingly good. The sweetness like really worked. Those sound like those would be revolting me, I'm surprised. But in a way that kind of like,

it like adds up to just like syrupy flavor, it kind of was good. You know what's so good? Eva's chimney cones. Eva's chimney cones. Yeah, so what he was describing, I've told him, is a shark tank invention.

It is a like fluffy baked pastry in the shape of a cone that they like served ice cream in or something. Mm-hmm. You're gonna get one before you go. You'll love it. I will. Yeah, we'll have some of that. You'll love ice cream. You're gonna love it.

I gotta say, they both taste fine, but they're just, the Ruffles ridges, man. I can't, I don't know if you guys like the baked Ruffles. I like them okay. I think they're better than those full body Ruffles. I would not go that far. You know what? I love the Lay's were winning me over, and then-

You hit a Ruffles. I mean, I like- The textures are so much better on the Ruffles. Lay's salt and vinegar potato chips are like one of my favorite chips. Yeah. But these are... These ruffle ones are good. I might have said this on my last appearance,

but my favorite chip is baked ruffles, sour cream and cheddar. Baked? Even though I'm not a huge cheese guy, it's just mostly salt. I don't think so. Wow, there's sort of a like force level power struggle between Mitch and Weiger over these ruffles. You want to give them you want to give them to them?

I'm going to hand them over. The ruffles bag is floating in between you guys as you both pull. Ruffles, I'll rank for you. Yeah. Ruffles, number one, number two, lays all dressed. Number three is the ketchup chips and number four is the sour cream bullshit. That's actually the only one that gets a whack for me. Mitch. Snack all three. I agree with you on the ordering, but all four are snacks. Wow. I didn't necessarily love the bacon one. I agree with Mitch on that. I feel like if I had

too many of those, I would just get like a bad feeling. Just like too much smoke. Too much snook. But I was surprised that I like to catch up chips as much as I did. I do think they're not as good as either all dressed, but I'd say, yeah, I would say they're all snacks. And I would say the bacon chips are a whack.

It's interesting. Soft whack. It's interesting that you kind of, and do you agree with that ranking or what's your, whack. It's interesting. Soft whack. It's interesting that you kind of, and do you agree with that ranking or what's your, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. It's interesting because with Snoke, it was like, the first one it was like maybe too much Snoke in the sense that Snoke was too big.

He's so big. He's so big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the third one, Rise of Skywalker is maybe too little Snoke and then Snoke is barely in it, and he's like malformed, failed clones of Palpatine, who just somehow is back, somehow has returned. But in the first one, it's like Snoke's just kind of big.

He's kind of like the right amount of Snoke. I kind of agree. The last Jedi, so at first you see like Hux is like, oh, we got big Snoke again. Right. Then when you see Snoke, he's just a guy in a robe. Yeah. It's about the power structures

and what you believe they are as opposed to like what they really are. You say Hux, like I know who that is. You know, Dom O'Gleeson, of course. Oh, yeah, that's who it was, all right. Who in the third one just says he's the spy. I'm the spy. This guy who is giving this fascist diatribe

to a whole army of shock troops two movies ago is now all of a sudden like, I'm the spy for no reason. Yeah, but when you think about what happens in American politics, people that are like Scaramucci or whatever that fucking guy's name is, he's working for Trump. And then as soon as he turns on him He's like fuck Trump. Yeah, I mean, so I think there's something sort of good about it. You're right. You know what I

Think I like that one better The trilogy doesn't work almost Almost like that. How are we liking the all dressed over at the producer desk? We love it. They're so good. They're so good. Mars, is that your, as a Canadian, is that your favorite of the chip varietals, the flavors? Yeah, I'd say aside from the Lay's sort of original,

all dressed is probably like second favorite. Wait, you like Lay's original, just like regular Lay's? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for like parties. Classic, yeah, why not? Do you like salt and vinegar? Oh, I love it. Come on. Come on. It's great. Doritos are the best chip, though. Just like a restaurant. Classic, yeah, why not? Do you like salt and vinegar? Oh, I love it. Come on. Love it.

Come on. It's great. Doritos are the best chip though. Just like a restaurant, we value your feedback, let's open the feedback. Today's email, I love Doritos. Oh, imagine an all dressed Dorito.

That's a great idea. That's a great idea. That would be really good. Corn, oh, that'd be good. That's one of the best things anyone's ever said in a podcast. It's such a great idea. In fact, we now legally own that idea.

Yeah, yeah, we're gonna mail it to ourselves, put it under our back. Just like a restaurant great idea. In fact, we now legally own that idea. Yeah, yeah. We're going to mail it to ourselves, put it under our back. Just like a restaurant, if I have feedback, let's open the feedback. Today's email is from Andy C. Andy writes... Andy Circus? Smoke? It might be.

I mean, Andy Circus would be Andy Ass. Yeah, that's true. But maybe he abbreviates it M-B-N-E. He might write it like Circus C-U-I-R. Who would be thinking of circus, like a circus performer? Right, they'll know it's me. We all know poutine is gravy and cheese curds. What other toppings are on your dream poutine?

Now distant because you don't like cheese. I thought this was an interesting question for you in terms of- Yeah. Wait, what is the question? Poutine is gravy and cheese curds, but craft your dream poutine. So let's say that's not how it is. Or let's say we change some core components

or let's say we add to these components. You don't love the cheese. Okay, I'll tell you what I would add. Would you keep the gravy? What would you put on there? I would keep the gravy. And I would add stuffing. That's interesting.

Thanksgiving poutine as well then. It's a little, like there's a little starchy, starchy going on. Yeah. But if you can get a stuffing that's almost like sort of a little more soaked and a little wetter, it could be really good. That sounds fun. Maybe a little, ooh,

throw a little cranberry sauce in there. You know what that has me thinking? You keep the gravy. Yeah. You keep the fries, you keep the gravy. Yeah. A little scoop of mashed potatoes. Ooh. Throw on some scallions. You keep the fries, you keep the gravy. Little scoop of mashed potatoes. Throw on some scallions.

You're stealing his idea. No, that's a totally different idea. Throw on some scallions, throw on some green onions, and a little scoop of sour cream. You got kind of like a loaded baked potato poutine. Sour cream is what I was thinking. Also, Andy Serkis played Caesar, right? He sure did.

So maybe the C stands for Caesar. So like Andy Caesar. Yeah, yeah,kis played Caesar, right? He sure did. So maybe the C stands for Caesar. So like Andy Caesar. Andy Caesar, yeah, yeah, yeah. Andy Caesar. But you know, Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up. That's true. And I don't know anything about it. And I don't know.

Except that it's in October. Yeah, it is in the middle of October. So I do think there should be like a Canadian Thanksgiving poutine where you can kind of get all of it. Turkey stuffing. Yeah, that's fun. That'd be good. That's pretty good

Yeah, I was also just just gonna say just back to the Caesar thing. Of course Adam Driver and Megalopolis is Caesar Catalina. That's it could also be him Caesar Catalina. These are Catalina Catalina and while platinum that's really good. I might have to watch this Man what's his wait, what's Dustin Hoffman's character's name? I gotta watch it. You gotta see it. You gotta watch this movie. Oh man. What's his, wait, what's Dustin Hoffman's character's name? I gotta look it up. It's really good. Let's just say that there's a scene where John Voight has a boner.

Oh yeah, I've been hearing a lot of boner talk surrounding this movie. There's a boner scene. There's not just him having a boner. It's his, he says, what do you think about my boner? What is this movie even fucking about? Like the little I know about the movie, everything I hear about it is so funny. All the clips I see look so impossibly crazy. John Voight who looks as old as he is in the movie.

He's like, he is over, he's like 83, isn't he? Hamilton Crassus III is his character. He is playing like a, he's playing like a Maester Pycelle though, like from, from Game of Thrones, like kind of like, he is kind of like, oh yes, he's like super powerful, but also like he's lost a step, you know? And then, wow, Platinum Aubrey Plaza's character is kind of using him to her own ends. John Poy is 85, soon to be 86. And he, and he's talking, he said, take a look at my boner.

Isn't he a huge transporter? He said, take a look at my boner. He is. Yeah. You know what? God, one of the nicest guys I ever met. I met him on the Sunday lot. He was so nice to me. It was so crazy. I was saying that there was, I've met a bunch of like, I've met like a Trump super team

of you. I've met Mark Wahlberg, Johnhmm John Voight and uh Charles in charge what's his name Tony Danza no no no no the oh yes oh the other guy who's even fucking worse online yeah the um Scott Baio yeah is it Scott Baio? Yeah Scott Baio. They're all really nice. All of them were so nice to me. Wow. I mean I've talked about this on the podcast before but when I worked at Funny or Die, I worked with, there was a celebrity who was like, came in and was like, hey, I love Downton Abbey.

I'd love to do a Downton Abbey video. And so me and Andy Maxwell over there, who was just amazing at that, amazing visual sense, amazing visual effects side of things and just a great, great dude to work with. We made a video with him, with a celebrity, where we spliced him into a bunch of Downton Abbey footage. And, you know, the thing is the way it had to be shot,

we had to do it like a long day that started at 7 a.m. on a Saturday. And what we heard from his assistants was like, he's not like a morning guy, he's not gonna love this. And we're like ready for like, oh boy, this guy might be a diva or whatever. I got there at 6.55 AM. He was already there, already in the makeup chair,

knew all of his lines, completely off book for this thing, just totally locked in, totally game, like down to do whatever, like having fun, super nice. And then afterwards sent us like a whole bunch of like high-end spirits as a thank you gift. And I just was talking about what a great guy this was. That was Sean Diddy Combs. Oh my God.

We don't have the time for me to tell my Diddy story. But I'll get into it very quickly. He did a show at UCB over a decade ago with Chris Gethard. And there was this sort of like, this like myth kind of came up after the show where apparently like his handlers called the Gethard crew and were like, here's the stuff he's gonna need in the back and two things,

and I'll say I'm out of order, but the second thing was he, like equipment messes up around him, like, equipment messes up around him, like video equipment messes up around him. And we were like, what are you talking about? And then during the show, a DVD that we had tested, he's standing in front of the DVD player in the old UCB Chelsea tech booth,

and the DVD is off by like two minutes. The sound is off by two minutes. Wow. And then after the show, we watched it and it was not off. And we were- Did he has like, it's like devil. He's like powder? No, no, no.

At the time we were like, whoa, Diddy's magic. Now I think he must have some sort of video like disrupting equipment at him at all times. Oh, right, yeah, that makes sense. And then the other part that he was told was like, hey, so just so you guys know, if Diddy asks you guys to come party with him, sometimes his parties go on for days and days

and he doesn't necessarily stop those parties and you should be able to call it on your own. He doesn't sleep for days on end so you need to end the party. Some people get into some really bad situations and we were like, whoa, Diddy really likes to party. And now we're finding out this was maybe one of these fucking freakfests.

Yeah. You know what? And but what's funny is he walked into the UCB and looked around and was like, I ain't invited any of these people to the fucking freak fest. Nobody got invited to party. But I do think about it, I'm like, wow, this is like 2000, God, I don't remember like 12 or 13.

And that was being said. You know what I heard? He went into the UCB and he saw a poster for freak dance and then he was like, hmm. Okay, all right. This gives me a little idea. That's what I heard. It's, it's, people are hearing that for sure.

Diddy looks around like I'm gonna invite anyone except for you, you kawala. Going to the freak house. All right. I got my freak house. Love a freak house. Going to the freak-off. All right. I got my freak-off. Love a freak-off. Dustin Hoffman's character in Megalopolis is Nush Berman. Dustin Hoffman, also 85.

Yeah, also canceled, I think. Also canceled, yes. But Voight seems old in the movie. Did you have a Poutine Plus up, Mitch? I said sour cream. Oh, yeah, sour cream, yeah. Mars, where do you have a poutine plus up, Mitch? I said sour cream. Oh, yeah, sour cream, yeah. Mars, where do you stand on poutine? Who cares?

I'm sorry to keep asking you for all these Canadian questions. Oh, man. I actually just went to a poutine eating contest in Toronto. They had the World Poutine Eating Contest. And they were serving, it was sponsored by Smokes Poutineery, and they served free poutine there. Man, I did not like Smokes Poutine at all. I used to have a place I went to that had,

instead of beef gravy, had chicken gravy. He was very good, he was called Lou Dog, it's now closed. That was my favorite poutine, but I haven't been able to find a replacement since. Wow. Sublime's Dog, same name, Lou Dog. Lou Dog inside the van.

Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. Sorry, that was just confusing. Do you have, like you said, you're gonna make your- Lou Dog is the name of Sublime's Dog. I know, I fucking know that. He used to put his thumb in its ass. Yeah, I know, I was just confusing. Blue Dog is the name of Sublime's dog. I know, I fucking know that. He used to put his thumb in its ass. Yeah, I know, I know all this.

But... I didn't know that part. We have had smokes on the podcast. We reviewed smokes in Saskatoon. We liked it. We liked smokes, they were lovely to us. Where do you stand on, if you could plus up a poutine, or you could add a different component,

or if you had this poutine in your life, where you're like, oh, this is poutine plus this, and it really works. I have a plus up a poutine, or you could add a different component, or if you had this poutine in your life, where you're like, oh, this is poutine plus this, and it really works. I have a plus up now. I would love some pulled pork, and maybe green onions on it. Oh, sure. Just to get more sauce involved,

because it's the squeaky cheese, it's just not really for me. What about a Korean sort of pulled poutine hybrid? I'm sure they have that. They do offer that at Smokes on the Danforth now. I haven't tried it yet. Ooh, interesting. Wow.

I got my plus up. We'll ask you guys as well, but I got a plus up. Frings, fries and onion rings. Wow. That's fun. Poutine, fries and onion rings. That's fun. That's kind of a no-brainer.

Why don't they do it? They have Frings at Harvey's. I did get that. I got fries and onion rings. Yeah, we forgot to talk about Frings. we fucked up. Who cares about Fringes? No we fucked because that's a they think they trademarked Fringes we should have gotten some fucking Fringes. Does it change your score? No. Okay then fuck it who cares. Fringes are fucked. I'll get the hot dog and I'll get some Fringes. Gus Fringes. Yeah Gus I'll get some Gus rings. Also, look,

Dean Carl Esposito is in Megalopolis. And his name is? His character's name is, oh, he's Mayor Cicero, of course. Okay, that's normal. Of New Rome City. Of New Rome City. While we're on the topic of poutine, by the way, the world record of poutine eating is held by Joy Chestnut,

and it's 28 pounds of poutine in 10 minutes. That's too much. Oh my god. 28 pounds of poutine in 10 minutes. 28 pounds of anything. That's too much. It's fucked up. Weighing your, like talk about how much food you ate by weight just feels inherently dangerous.

That is horrifying. Yes. Canada needs to reclaim that title from Chestnut. Guess what? You're not gonna take it Canada. The USA's got it on fucking lock. You guys are screwed. They're not gonna, no one can beat chestnut. Guess what? You're not going to take it, Canada. USA has got it on fucking lock. You guys are screwed. They're not. No one can be chestnut.

That's true. Yeah, he's a he's a machine. All right. Emma, Amelia, where do you stand? Where do you all stand on poutine? And do you have anything you would like to see on a poutine or if you had a good a good poutine with a an add on? I don't think I've had enough poutine to be like, this is my favorite. I liked the poutine we had to eat at Swiss chalet. Sorry, everybody. That's next week.

But I think I like the idea of like a pulled pork. Yeah, it feels like it would go really well. Or we're like, I'm not a huge turkey fan, but because of the gravy, I feel like pulled chicken or something like that in there would be really good. Like just some shredded chicken up in there, because why not? I don't know. I would have to say egg yolk, Tabasco, and scallions. Ooh, interesting.

That's good. That sounds like you've made it before. No, I have poutine for the first time today. Wow. It's true. Wow. What is a commonality that we keep hearing? Scallions. Scallions.

Yeah. There's some green onions on there. A little freshness. Why not? Guys, you guys should have done fucking scallions in vegetable month. You guys fucked up. We don't want to talk about vegetable month.

Did we not cover them on the onion episode? We touched on them. We touched on them, but it's a whole other thing. Not enough. We'll bring it back. If you have a question you can go to the World of the Chained Restaurants. We're not gonna bring back vegetable month.
