Yeah? And I honestly want to cook for each other when he comes. I think I can impress him chef-wise. But before we do, Domino's has been kind enough to blast us with some more thin crust. I love Domino's thin crust pizza with pineapple, and I gotta say. What do you have to say? I don't even think we're supposed to be promoting this, but I love the marinara sauce. Chuck, what's that? Is that a bread bite? Bread bite. Thank you for clarifying. These things are like the chicken nuggets of garlic bread. That's something that no one's told me to say. And they might not want me to say that. Chuck, do me a favor, take a bite. A bite? Sure. I love Domino's thin crust. Let's talk about Maddie. Is he a chef or is he an actor? Chuck, he's a chef. What do you mean? He's also an actor. Like, how you're a comedian and you're a rapper. You're mostly known for being kind of invented like online food content celebrity chef. He's definitely like a pillar to that world. You know when he's made that web series with Maddie. That was the first time I ever heard of him. And you described it to me back then as, "I have this opportunity to do this thing with my idol." You know that? You described Maddie as your idol. He was one of my idol for food stuff. That's me! Because he doesn't care. He just does what everyone wants. He can cook so high level like, like, Michelin star level. But then he can also cook something super approachable and with heart and love. And he just always himself. And that's him now. What more could you ask for? Domino's all gone. Hello? Hello? Hello? He's here! We're here. How are you? Maddie has the best steakhouse I've ever been to in my entire life. So I'm good? I'm going to stuff you. You guys need like a shower or something. No, they like never cook. That's disgusting. Oh no. I have a special girl. A special girl! It's snap. We're going to just be like, "No." Oh, you guys are crazy. I mean Maddie have like the same outfit on. I know, kind of. Wow, you do look like you dressed like to promote something together. We do like the pants. Great! Lots of patches. A lot of patches. Jesus is nice. Jesus is great. You would say you're a fashionable guy. I would say what? Maybe he gets voted like most fashionable man. Yeah. No matter if he cares anymore though. It was up because of the bear. No, I don't. No, they don't care. No, they don't. I don't know. You are fashionable. I'm fashionable. Yeah. I wear the same thing every day. Do you think when you got skinny, they stop caring? No. I'm not skinny. What's your hat say? Psycho zombies. Oh! Maddie, can we get you anything to drink from our fridge? Yeah. The only of alcohol. Yeah, what do you have? Pop. Olive oil. We've got it all, brother. We've got everything. I'll have a water. Yeah. Sir up. Sir up. Bologna. Can we have bologna later? Yeah, let's try a piece. You want to try a piece right? Yeah. We'll have a piece of bologna right now. I've never had bologna. What do you mean? I love bologna. I used to, but what is it? You've never had any. What is it? It's just an emulsified like sausage. No, it would make it so good. What? Have you go like this? No, you can't use that pan for the bologna. Why? Why? That's the pan I'm using to make the food for Maddie. What do you mean? Well, I'm cooking Maddie a meal. Watch, no, you just go like this. You're going to cook me a meal? No, you're going to cook me a meal? Yeah. Watch it. Watch it. What are you going to cook me? We're not ruining it with bologna. No, we got just one pan. Who slices a bologna, one slice of that, like shitty white bread and mustard? Yeah, of course. I love mustard here. It's like a can of pe. Watch how good this is going to taste. You got to put a slice in it so it doesn't bubble. A slice in what? Like the side because it's a circle. I know I was going to go like this and put cheese on. Thank you, my love. Yeah, but I don't watch. I don't like the way that it looks. Yeah. I see that. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at you guys cooking. Yeah. Yeah. When I'm going to put the, what's it going on? Yeah, toast. We'll see. We have a toaster. I don't know what you have. You don't have bread. You have a weird bread. Like a bad health bread. That's a, so yeah. What is that? Like a Dave's killer bread? Yeah, you don't want that. No, we don't. Well, you got like one. There's nothing else. You don't have just like a loaf of bread. Oh, wait. Look, they have a sandwich from someone. Oh. Should we take the bread off someone else's sandwich? These buns are good. That's my Mexican food. They're so bad. They're the worst buns. Oh, my gosh. You've never had a bun. But you're like, you like simple foods. I do like simple foods. I feel like this is like a low resistance. I seem to like every meat. There's something about, I don't, this is, I hate sausage. Yeah. Is this sausage adjacent? What is it? Do you like hot dogs? What's in the long? Not a big hot dog guy. Sometimes I get a road craving and like, that was so good. But still, I would always have the burger. I want to read you the ingredients. There's something nostalgic about a hot dog that gives me a feeling that I can't get. That's why I eat the hot dogs. And what? I don't like the taste. Like when you grow up, go to baseball groups. Yeah. I don't like encased meat. Let me just read you. What's on. You don't even know how I'm going to do it today. Oh, this looks good. It is good. Watch what I'm about to do. Yeah, I save a big appetite for me. Well. You're stuffy. I am. What? You like chicken? I love chicken. You like chicken. You like chicken? I'm going to make you something I like to call Mexican chicken. What is it called? Mexican chicken. Mexican chicken. That's what I like. Are you guys a spatula? I could make you a salad. Do you have a spatula? No. No. Sorry. Okay. Use a spoon. This all came without organically. Here we are. No, that's not it. No, that's it. What about this? I'm going to make a salad. That's a spatula. I wouldn't spoon it. You got butter. No, just put it in. No butter. You don't need butter. You do it right here. But it's going to be hard. It's going to be good. Watch. Watch. Watch. Look at these two cooking minds. Watch what I'm about to do for you. Look. Oh my gosh. We should be so lucky. We then don't get it on that. I'm not. I'm lifting. Yeah, lift it up. This has to go under the butter. Like so the butter goes here. Now butter goes here. Now you put that here. A version. You know, I'm going to go like that. Watch what we're going to do. There's a piece of bologna cheese. Cheese. That just made it wet. No. Yeah, you're going to grilled cheese it. Yeah. Why do you put the butter like that? So why do you act like you didn't know? Flip the bun upside down. You're going to make a grilled cheese that was full 10 years ago. I know. Okay. Okay. I know. Wait, you want to finish it then? No, I don't want to finish it. You want to finish it. You want to eat it, don't you? I don't know. We'll share it. We'll cut it in half. Maybe four. Everyone can have a bite. Can you guys do anything with this rice? Do you have mustard? Do we have anything we can do with this rice? What the fuck are you going to do? Hey, can anybody do anything with this plant? Can anybody do anything with this rice? I love rice. Do you love rice? I love rice. What's your favorite kind of rice? Plain. Plain rice, baby. You guys are perfect. I know. It's great. I agree with that. Chuck, you want to taste this? Chuck, this has no mustard. I'm not into it. Just taste the bite. I will. It's just baloney and cheese. I guess I'll understand. There's no mustard. It looks like something I would like. Mmm. What's baloney? No mustard. Chuck, you like it? Nope. Do you know instantly? No, now he's changing his mind. He's slowly changing. No, because he's surrounded by such a thing I would love. A bun with cheese. Yeah. Look at the thin piece of meat I'm trying to judge. Yeah. So the trick here is to turn the bun upside down. I think am I right? That it's a little hammy? Yeah. Yeah. I'm a turkey roast beef. You want to show people how you make your what's it called, Chuck? No, yeah. I know that I'm convinced. So basically Maddie, obviously I'm not a chef. No. But I do have a few philosophies. You're one of my favorite eaters, though. Thank you. Really? What am I doing? I love that he has the most food boundaries in the world. No, sorry. Watching him eat fruit was the craziest thing in the world. Maddie. Wow. You're on death row. You're about to die. Yeah. You're on death row. You're on full death row. For what? What did I do? You did something bad. I don't know. Judging by your look, I could come up with a whole bunch of scenarios of what you did. But you did something really bad. Yeah. You're going to die. I'm going to die. And you get a full day of whatever you want to eat and drink, whatever, whatever. Yeah. What are you doing? Maybe like breakfast? It all depends. I do love having fun. Oh, I like fun. While we're talking about ethnic food, I just want to clarify really quick. Earlier when I talked when I said that I was making Mexican chicken. Yes. I don't know if a coder could not be misinterpreted. I just want to explain that I call it Mexican chicken simply because the cheese I use for it is about Mexican cheese. There's two different brands that refer to it as Mexican. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's why I call it Mexican chicken. Maybe I'm wrong for maybe that's wrong of me. But maybe it's wrong for me for even having brought it up. No. I don't feel like it's called fiesta chicken. Which one of you guys is best at slice and chicken? Nope. You have to do it yourself. You want me to do it? Yeah. What do you mean? So you're not going to like run? - It throws the chicken hole? It's like a-- - No, no, it's crazy. - Do you just throw everything in the end? - I didn't get played by-- - Do you, like, develop color? - This is a great recipe. - You have to wait, it's insane. - First thing I did, a little bit of house Italian, mixed it up in the bottle. - What? - Go like this, make sure to shake it, then you put it in there. - Yeah. - And I'm gonna add some-- - So you're kind of fusion, 'cause I'm an Italian. - And I'm gonna add some taco seasoning. - With the fucking Italian. - Old El Paso, mix it up. - Yeah. - Then I'm gonna take this chicken, I'm gonna cut it into cubic pieces. Then I'm gonna mix it all up, then I'm gonna start the thing. I'm gonna cook it in the liquid, that's the combination of this and the Italian dressing. Then when they're cooked, I'm gonna add probably this entire bag. - No, stop. - Three quarters of the bag. - Don't do too much cheese. - I won't do too much cheese, but-- - And then-- - And then how you do it? - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm trying to make you the best, best possible. - So it's like a casserole. - I don't know what a casserole is, but it's like a bake, like you bake it. - Exactly, and then it's served on a sandwich. It's actually a sandwich. - Wait, 'cause I'm excited. - What? You're having fun for breakfast, then what happens? - I would love a nice fog up for breakfast. - Yeah. - And then maybe lunch, I would have fried clams, like a perfect lobster roll, I'd have like my dad's bisque, lobster bisque. - You're a seafood, guys. - Steve's average? - Steve's average, Steve's average, Steve's average. And then his lobster bisque, I would have that for lunch with like really good cold slaw, creamy cold slaw. - Creamy or vinaigrette? - I like creamy, I do like creamy. - Oh my god. - And then, but good creamy. Not too creamy. - Yeah, yeah, I know. - Yeah, just like perfect cream. - Yeah. - And then. - Dinner. - And then dinner, truly, I'd probably, it's hard. I'd love like the perfect prime rib dinner. Just like mashed potatoes, cream corn, cream spinach, and like perfect prime rib, and like Yorkshire pudding, like ojoo, and then for dessert, I'd have trishes like fresh baked halodolies and a glass of milk, and then you could kill me. - A glass of milk, isn't that sweet? - Would you want to have sex? Would I want to have sex? - If you're like allowed to. - Yeah, maybe. - Last day of your life, no sex? - Last day of my life, no sex? - I don't know. - Yeah, sure. - You'd be pretty full, haven't you? - Yeah, there's like that. - No, no, no, no, no. - And be my full. Be full. Be full. Yeah, but you're dying. It's like when I ask my mom this, and she's like, well, I wouldn't have too much like dairy, like, and I said, she was like my stomach over. I said, you're gonna die. - You're gonna die. You're gonna die. You're gonna die. I don't know. I think sex is tough when you're really, really full. - Yeah, yeah. That's why we always have to decide. - Would you pick sex? - No, here's what I really want. - Okay. - Someone told you you could have the best meal of your life, the best meal you'll ever have in your entire life. - Yeah. - Or you can have one of the best sex you've ever had, and you can have the best sex of your life, and you'll have neither one of those ever if you choose one of the others. So do you either want the best sex of your life or the best meal of your life? - Honestly, well, I think I think best food, because, like, even good sex is great. Like, I'm just happy to be in the game. - Sex is for like a minute and a half stuff, like the other day. - Really? - Yeah. - One minute. - Is that a long time? - I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think, I think typically no. I don't think a minute and a half is long. - I feel like I hold your breath for as long as that. - I prematurely ejaculate it with Christen this week. - Yeah. - What do you think is the longest you've ever had sex for? - The other day. - A minute and a half? - No. - No. - Wait, how long was the other day? - No. The other day, legitimately, I don't know what it was. I finished work and before we flew out here, Trish was at the hotel and I went there. - Honestly, we had sex for like two hours. - And it was like, and do you come once? - Yeah. - Just once. - Yeah, it was like the greatest thing of all time. - And your kids aren't here, so it's like. - Yeah, we were just at the hotel. It was nice. We were coming out here. - I don't know how people do it with kids. You can't do it spontaneously. - Do you know what the worst thing is when you're like coming and you look and then there's like a toy. - Or like, their photos. - Or like, it is like a thing that like, when you're like, I'm like, I get, like, I've seen like things on Instagram be like, "Yo, like trying to keep your relationship like hot and sexy after you have kids." And they're like, "Make sure you're in your bedroom. Just don't have like kids' photos." - What are our bedroom is like, Trish has like, like, on our dressers, like, just like, it's like, you know, it's like every photo, yeah, every photo and I'm just like, "Bro, like, what are we doing?" - Yeah, you got to have a sex room. - Yeah. - A sex room. - You know, one of the sex rooms. Maddie had, he was in Chicago, thumb in the bear. And he had like, you know, Trish had visited and stuff and he had like, all this like, extra fun stuff. And he had this like, sex swing. - Like a door jam one. - Like, like a baby balancer? - No, like the one that's. - Have you put on the door and close the door? Like, it has the door jam? - Like, it's like a door. - It's like a door. - Like, it's a short photo. - Actually, it's for adults. - No, it's for sex. - Yeah. - And then. - I think of one I think of sex swings. Maybe this is because I've never seen one in real life. Or the baby balancers. - Yeah, they're for baby balancers. - Yeah. - And then, my mom loved it and she wanted to get in. So she said, "Put me in." I said, "Have you ever used a sex swing?" And she said, "Yeah, but just not one like this." And she said, "Never one the jams and a door." And then, when she got out, she had so much fun. She said, "I gotta get one of these for home." - They're not that expensive. They're incredible. - Is it good? - Is it exactly what you dream it to be? - It's like I got a lock in. I'm sorry. I can't really answer you. - She has to make it how he likes it. - That's good chicken. - Who's your favorite cook, Dave? - Benny and my parents. - My mom's my favorite cook. I got this recipe from my mom. - Are you excited to taste it? - Yeah. - Did you guys forget about the bun? - What are you doing over here? - It's good as food could be. - It's like a chicken cheesy nugget sandwich. - Why is it? - Towering. - I would add more, but I think I gotta play it safe. - Okay, taste it. - Take a bite. - Dip in the ketchup. - Take a bite. - Take a bite first. - Take a bite first. - One bite raw. - One bite first. - It looks good. - Honestly, I love that. - Wow. - I did. - You know it's crazy. My mom, in my cookbook, I have this thing called Cheesy Thinks. She used to make homemade whole grain bread, and we would put cheese on it and. - Hey! - Is that the white thing on your head, too? - I think that's just food. - I'm gonna clean that off. You keep talking, though. - You were bringing up something about your childhood. - So, my. - Yeah, that was a bit much. - Excuse me. - Oh, good. And we would put Mexican chili powder on top of it. It would be like this fresh made whole wheat bread. So there's bun that's a whole wheat, grainy kind of thing, and just kind of like with the cheese and the old-fashioned seasoning. - Yeah. - It reminds me of something my mom used to make. - Your mom always made fresh bread. - Yeah, she would mill her own grain. - Mill her own grain. - We had a mill, and we would put in grain, and she would make her own flour. - Where do you stand on wheat? Did wheat domesticate humans, or is it the other way around? - Yeah. - Wow. - Is it good? - It's great. - I taste it. - I don't think so. - You're being honest. - Oh, hardly? Well, the best thing is I've had recently. - Wow. - It's an honor to be here. - Tell the people the recipe, Dave, so people can make it. - They saw me, they saw me. - That's something. - I love it. - I wish I didn't eat anything before that, Dave. That's what I'm thinking about right now. I wish I didn't have that bologna sandwich. - 'Cause you loved it so much. - It was so good. - That is. I'm really proud of you. - Dominic's time. - You know, a lot of people like to take one slice, but I like to take four or five slices, and I'd like to show you one thing really quick. - You hear that? - That's crunchy, thin crust. - I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. - And I love pineapple. It's my favorite. - Yeah, pineapple. You can do a lot of different flavors. - Can I tell you something that you can do that's even better than even. Well, it's not better than eating the pizza, but it's the next best thing. - Blending it in a smoothie and drinking it? - No, Chuck. - You can go to the Domino's app, and you can order online without even having an interface with a human being. You could stay inside for days on end, and just keep ordering pizza over and over again. And what else you can do is you can take your order, and you order at once. And if you're like me who orders the same cheat every time, you can just press the button, delivers directly to your door. No, even just repeat order. - And if you don't feel like downloading the app, I don't know why you wouldn't, but if you don't, you can go to dominoes.com and do a lot of good stuff as well. - This off to college season. Save on college. Save me every day. - Amazon has turned this whole room into a dorm room. - I know. It's a good, and it reminds me of my good old days in my dorm room. How about you? - My dorm room is small. Are you trying to ask? - Oh, yeah, I was. Oh, my college. - Michigan State. - Yeah, I thought the S was for Michigan State, but it turns out everybody drew the S for different reasons. - Can I remember this day? - Zoom in. - Wow. You know what that S stands for? - Satisfying the Amazon customers. - Who've gone to the off to college option online. - Yeah, I think it might have been because, look, I don't know, back in the day when I went to college, you had to go to one store, then the next store, and just have this whole cobbled together, like not even cool room. Now I can be strategic in college, which I'm not. - And you can get it done for me. - And you can get a shoot. - So remember, with Amazon's low off to college prices, just save on college. Save me every day. - You guys are very stylish, men. - But like not in a way that feels, it's like a cool style. - Yeah. - You both are like, have the coolest style and Dave. - No, Dave has the coolest style. I know. - No, no. I know.

Okay. Tell us about the restaurants. I want to know about the Italian one Rizzo's Rizzo's house of harm Rizzo's after Greece At yeah after my daughter. I named my daughter Rizzo Rizzo Louise - Do you care if we take it? - No, we take it. - Or can we take Louise? - Louise is Thresher's grandmother. - My mom is Gene Louise Bird. - Dude, that's great. - So Louie and calling the kid Lou. - Yeah. - But I love the name Rizzo. - I like Lou. - Rizzo's a great one. - Oh my God, Lou. - Lou is great. - Stevie and Lou Bird. - Lou Bird? - Lou Bird's good. - Lou Bird's good. - And then I'm gonna take Lou right now. - We can't take Lou. - I like Lou Lou. - My mom's, my mom's middle name is Louise. - Yeah, you can't have it. - You can't have it. - Are you writing it down right now? - Yeah, Lou. - When the kids were born, did you know that you made the right choice with the name, or do you question it and think to yourself? Oh my God, is that? - Yeah, because it is, it's weird, because like having a kid is like the same as, like you have to teach yourself to call your kid, it's name. And it is a thing where like, when you first have a child, you're like, oh crap, I have this child. And then you have to, like you do, there is that natural love. There is that crazy thing that's happening to you. But you still have to be like, what the fuck was that fucking? - I got it like, you start have to say this name. - 'Cause you feel like it was like all, I don't know how to say that. - Yeah, it's like a thing. 'Cause like, yeah, it's not natural. Where I'm like, I'm Matthew. You know, I'm Matthew, I'm Matthew. I'm always gonna be Matthew. - Wait, I thought you were Maddy. - I am Maddy. - You go by Matthew more? - My mom calls me Matthew. Like my, we're like, like, Trish will call me Matt. Like it's funny, 'cause like back home, I didn't get to start calling, I didn't start getting called Maddy to like, college. - Really? - Yeah. - People call me Maddy Rucks. - Oh, that's cool. - Like Rucks. - Rucks like Teddy Rucksman. - Yeah. - So my, I had some, like, when I lived in the dorms, like everyone gets like nicknames and all that stuff and I was like, Maddy Rucks. - That's cool. - Look at the school? - At the, at the, yeah, at Humber. - Do you regret any tattoo? - Yeah, you know, just take them all off, you know? - Really wanting none of them? - No, I wanna get like all my next stuff done. - Underneath, it's horrible. - It's horrible. Like that starting there. - You can see they're all the way back. - No, the whole, my whole house. - I wanna tattoo so bad, can I have one? - Yeah. - Can you give me one of those? - Yeah. - Just get one. - I don't know what to get. - Do you know, I saw a bad bunny, I saw a bad bunny, like his chest and, and he was like, it was kind of like a nude photo in the mirror and I saw a bad bunny's chest and I was like moved and I said. - It looks so good. - I called Dave and I said, I need to get tattoos. - Yeah. - Chuck, would you ever get a tattoo? - No. - Ever? - No. - What if your mom died? - What? - No. - What? (laughs) - What if your mom died? I need to go get my first tattoo. - Yeah, no. - No, I'm sure he can remember his parents. - No, I'm gonna get tattoos, no. - Yeah. - It's too permanent. - Yeah. - Literally, that's it. - I hear the, to me, I really wonder why there's not an insane business where I could be tatted like you for like 20 days and it disappears completely. I would definitely have 20 day sports of my life where I did that no question. But it doesn't seem to be happening, but then when I said this one time, people said, "No, there is one." And then I haven't looked at it. - People can like, like stickers. - When a man has a chest tattoo and then it pops out of their cot, like, you just see it, a little bit out of their cot. - A little out, you love that. - Yeah. - Wait, what's the worst day of your life? - The worst day of my life? - Yeah. - I don't know, Benny. Like, what are we doing here? - I don't know. - The worst day of my life, honestly? - Yeah. - I don't know. Probably like when I had like my heart attack. There's like probably, you know, around the, the worst day of my life is like around those days. - Like what was happening? - Just like tons of drugs and I was like, you know, I was young and like had a lot of attention at that time. And I was like a lot of ego and a lot of crazy shit. And I didn't know how to deal with a lot of it. And then I just like was, and built a restaurant, like parts and labor was like this crazy restaurant that had a venue in the basement. And like, it was the sickest, it was like the craziest restaurant ever. It was amazing. And like, I think it was just the end of everything. And I was just, I don't know. I had like, it was like, probably after, like I wasn't like every day guy. I was just like a big binge guy like every weekend. And then like, you know, maybe a couple times during the week. So almost every day of the kind of guy, but like not every day guy. - But the restaurant world kind of requires. - Yeah, like you're also like, it is like, I think it's all like cliche, where I'm like, there's drunk lawyers, there's drunk bus drivers, there's drunk everybody. Like life is stressful. I don't, I don't, I think restaurants are typically, like yeah, it is stressful, cool. But it's just like, also you're just in a bar. Like, you know, like it is like a thing where like people in a bar can drink. And I think before social media and before everyone all of a sudden knows everything, it's like, yeah, everyone used to get fucked up and have a good time. And like everyone would work really hard, make a lot of cash. And then you would just party with everybody. And everything was like, I don't know, it was kind of like a actual vibe and a family and a crazy ass thing. And then I think at the end of it, it was just like, I was like one of the, you know, it was like one of those like cliche things. Like last guy at the party kind of vibe. But it was like when I had my heart attack, I had it when I was like sleeping in, I woke up because it was after probably a couple days of partying and going crazy. And I went home and I fell asleep and I woke up. And I was just like, you know, like I was just like, you know, I was an average drug user and like whatever. And I was just like, I was like, trash, I was just like, - She was there? - Yeah, she was in the bed. - How old were you? - I was 29. - Oh my gosh. - Yeah, yeah. So then I was like, I was just like, it was like two years after opening up parts of labor. Like two years of just like insane shit. And then I was just like, I was just like, I think I should go to the hospital. Like I think I'm gonna have a heart attack. - What did you feel? - Like an uncompromising force and like something squishing my insides. It felt like this crazy thing. And I was just like, and I was just like having this thing and it wasn't a panic attack and it wasn't like, I've had like palpitations and I was like, it was this thing that wouldn't stop. And so I went to the hospital. And so when you go in, like I was just like, yeah, I was just like, I think I'm having, like I'm like, something doesn't matter with my heart. And I was like, yes, I do drugs, I do this. I do the, like yes, yes, yes, I smoke. I do all this crap, whatever the fuck. And then they go in and they take, they take your blood right away. As soon as you say like heart stuff, they take you like right away. I didn't have to worry. - So did you get an ambulance? Did you call? - No, it just drove me and then she went to work. Yeah, she just dropped me off. Did she not even think it was real? - I don't know, I was just like kind of like, it was like a warning and I was just like, yo, like I'm not a panicky guy. - I was gonna say, you don't seem like that. - I'm not a panicky guy. So I was just like, yo, like drop me off. If I fucking have a heart attack, I'll let you know. And like, I was just like, I don't think I'm really having a heart attack, but I don't know what's going on. I'm at the hospital, so like you can go to work. - You can't happen, like any second. - Yeah, I didn't know. It was at the point where I was just like something, like something's not right. - Yeah. - And so then they took my blood and they're like, oh, they're like, you had a heart attack like with the information they had. They're like, you had a heart attack like four hours ago. And I was just like, what? And so then I was just kind of like, so I'm good. (laughing) Kind of bang, I was just kind of like sick. I'm like, I'm good. - Yeah. - I'm here. - What did they say? - And they're like, no. Like we need to put you into like ER. - Oh. - Sure. And then they started hooking me up to all this shit. And then I was just like, can I like, call my mom? And like, can I call my dad? And they're like, yeah, make it like, you can like, let people like call your parents. And so like, I'm like, go out into the parking lot of the. - Like you're like, you're, they do that. - I'm still like, yeah. - They never started attacking. - They're like, you can go inside. - I went outside and I started having like a cigarette right away, because I was just like having to say. - They didn't meet you right away? They didn't strap you down? - They didn't strap me down. I was like, can I make a phone call? And they're like, yeah, so I went outside and then I had a call and I was like, you know, just like, instantly just like, like not even thinking, you know, or like whatever. We're like, I'm having a cigarette. I like calling my mom and dad. And I was like, hey, like you guys don't have to cry. Or like, you know, like I was just like, hey, you know, like you're still telling your parents something like, like I feel like I got in trouble at school or something, you know, like I have to like confess like this thing. And like my parents are like, sweet. Like they know who the fuck I am. Like they're not like this thing. And I wasn't really a problem for them. So I was like, I was just like, yo, like I was just like, yeah, I don't know. I had this heart attack. And they're like, okay, like we're coming, you know, I was just like, okay, but it was so funny. Like, so I go back in and then they, then they like, I go get in the bed. They hook me up, I fucking doing all this shit. And it's so funny. Like I have like my headphones. I had like my headphones for some reason because it like, I think I brought a bag or maybe that was like after like, Trish came back maybe once I said that I had a heart attack. I remember at one point, I'm like laying in ER and I'm like sitting there like listening to like, explosions in the sky. And I was like literally just like kind of crying a little bit and just like being like crazy. And there was like the dude next to me, I felt so bad. He was like this old dude and he was like screaming 'cause they were trying to put like a catheter in him. - Oh my gosh. - And he was like, it was such a commotion next door and I felt so bad for this old guy 'cause he didn't want to do it and he couldn't speak English and it was just like this whole thing and it was like crazy. And then I got a room after I spent like one night down in there and then I ended up getting a room the next day. And then I just had to stay in, I had to stay in the hospital for like 10 days to do like an angiogram. - It's a great time. - Yeah, 'cause I had a test. - So I had to wait at the most. - I had to be at the most. - The 10 days of the hospital. - Yeah, like so I had to like stay in the hospital because you're like blood type or like your enzymes, your blood cells flip, I guess. That's how they know right away if you've had like a heart attack or something of that. - All the white become red and all the red become white? - Something like that. And so then I had to stay in the hospital until my body like switched back kind of thing or something. - All blood stuff, like so yeah. - Yeah, like I had to wait until-- - You're scared at all? - Was I scared? - Yeah, when were you scared? - There was a moment, I don't know. I don't know what scared it is. Like I'm like, you know, like I'm like-- - I don't know what scared it is, but Chuck scared. - Those 10 days, I imagine, you know like, we only think of heart attacks the way I'm like, where you're like standing there all of a sudden, - Yeah. - So many times. He falls and like, yeah, for sure, and that happened, but I think I just like, I was so exhausted, like that's the thing is like, my heart attack and like what I think I was doing to my body and everything was like exhaustion, like not sleeping for like 15 years, you know? Like working in restaurants is like the craziest thing, the craziest thing about like working in restaurants or working in any type of job is like, like I was under like sleep deprivation. Like I would go to bed typically, like three, four nights a week, like my bedtime, like I had to be home, like for Trish, not to freak out and like start blowing me up, was like six a.m. That was like me getting home on time. So because like, just think like I'd be done work at like one, like one in the morning, then we'd all go out to the bars, then we'd go to the after hours, then we'd go to our friend's house, and then we'd go home. - And then you do it the next day? - And then yeah, you do that like three, four times a week. - Yeah. - So it was just like, I think I was, and then I'd be at work by like, you know, 10, 30, 11. - What changed for you, like was there, when you were in the hospital post-heart attack, were you thinking, oh, I got to make a change, or were you thinking, God, I just think God, I'm still here. - I think it was like one of those things where I was just like, okay, like this can be, okay, I'm not gonna look like a complete loser if I stop drinking, you know, like I have an thing, but then I was just like-- - But did you want to stop drinking? - Were you immediately like, I got to change everything. - No, no, I went harder because I thought I didn't die, and I went psycho after-- - You did? - That's what I left after? - Yeah, I didn't get, I didn't get clean until 31. That's what, that's what someone was like, kill, that's what like really ruined my life, because then the thing was, when I, after my heart attack, you know, all my homies know, all my friends know, all the people that I hang out with, everyone knows. It's like Maddie Madison has a heart attack. Then all of a sudden, I'm a problem. And I was never really a problem before. I was just like ever starting a problem, huh? - You have a heart attack at 29. - No, but it's so hot. - Because then all of a sudden, you're being like, quickly, you're-- - Or like I would pull up to my friends' bars, and then they'd be like, no, like we're not giving you shots, we're not giving you anything. Because I would be like, I'm not gonna do like, no more like Jamison, like I could chug Jamison, or like chug, like vodka, or whatever. 'Cause even at the end, like my drink would be like, I was drinking, you know, pints of vodka. - Right. - So I'd get a pint glass, I'd get a pint glass, fill it with ice, fill it with vodka, and like three lime squeezes. - Really? - And then I would drink like, a lot of those. Then I would start drinking beer. - Do you miss alcohol at all? - No, no. - Why don't you tell people about a time where EuroCD has prevented you from moving forward in some way? - Oh my god, every night. - Every night when I had to brush my teeth, and I took 25 minutes to brush my teeth, because the water faucet had to be left on 15 seconds. No ripple on the water, right on 15 seconds. No ripple, I mean, it was every night, I dreaded it. - Well, I'll tell you this, no CD of the world leading OCD treatment provider and all of their licensed therapists specialize in ERP therapy, which is proven to be the most effective treatment for OCD. - And you know, the therapy is 100% virtual.

I broke my foot. - I showered him. - You took care of me. - Harry's him. - I feel like I had to really help him. I had to like borderline carry him. - So you broke your foot and then you were there? - In LA, and I was staying at Benny's house, and he had to like go to me and help me shower. - The dog shower, he had to wash me like a dog. - We were shooting stupid fucking cooking show. Like this thing that we did, but because of the contract we had and because of COVID, I was like, and I was flying international. I was coming to Canada. - Yeah. - So I didn't have to like, I just wasn't in the thing, it said that I wasn't supposed to be. - He wasn't like. - There was like a day before. - There was a day between me arriving and getting to set. So the narrow COVID, whatever, I had to stay in my hotel room. So I didn't, and I told Benny I was like, "Benny, I'm gonna go hang out with my friends." And he's like, "Yeah, whatever, who cares?" - And then I broke my foot in half. - He broke his foot in half. - He had this foot in half. - Just casually riding? - No, I was no, I was like, we were like jumping. - But he had to pretend he had to make this whole thing up. - No, I fell off a curb. - Yeah, he had to. - I did a lot. And Trisha's still to this day, doesn't believe. Like, I lied so hard and she hates me for it because, you know, lying is not good. - Right, yeah. - And so, but I had to lie to my team. - Well, you were over what to say. - You didn't want people to be out of work. - What was your lie? - He said he like, my life was, I was just standing and I went to cross the road and I was standing at like, Myrtle and Melrose. And my, because you guys have really tall curbs here. And so my body is not, you know when you go to someone's house and they're stepping just a little weird or something? - Yeah. - So I was like standing in the curb. And then I said, I fell and my foot got jammed and I fell over and crumpled onto it. My foot just snapped from the bare weight of- - That's great. - And I just said that I like, literally like, yeah. And I just said like, and because I was like, almost like 350 at that time, I was way bigger. And so then everyone like, no, we would bat and hide me saying that I like- - Yeah, it's my own foot. - No, you know, don't even think. Well, I had a cast on, like it's like my foot was broken. - Yeah. - But it was like one of those things where I was just like, oh, I was on a curb rather than visiting somebody. I was like, I just went and got some food or something. I don't know, I forgot that. But like the whole thing, we had to shoot this whole cooking video. - And he had to read it with a cast. - And it happened the day before. - Were you in pain? - Well, yeah, I broke my foot, but it doesn't. I don't take pain colors. - Nothing. - This, I got my little soother, my little bup-bup, my little sips up. - My daughter just started doing hip-hop dance. - Oh my God. - Dude, look at this. - Oh my God, it's so much better. - You know what everyone gets to see you behind. - Look, what are that all about? - Chuck, do you remember when you used to not hang out with people, if he was like shaving his dick and he like nicked his dick a little bit and there was like a little bit of like blood. - What were the hardest things to get over? Or like learning who the real Dave was? - Well, he was a certain way in person. He was so sweet and like he acted like he liked me. And then I felt like texting, if I just texted too much over the limit, there was a big, just pull out. - He's the worst texture. He's the worst texture in the history of the world. - I don't like texting at all. - I'm the worst text. - No, he's way worse. - And Chris will go like four days without texting. - You liked it. - Really? - They're the worst. - He's the worst communicator. - He's the worst. - You're the worst. - You're not great. - Yeah, I'll text him and he'll text me three days later. - You literally respond three days later and you go like, "Oh, ha ha." Like no one's in the conversation anymore, talking about that thing, that's fine. - That's fine. - That's mindlessness. - You're actively texting. - I'm paying an ass hole. - No, I'm being a matter of fact. - No, I used to think Dave was like, and then Benny does when he texts you back the three days later, it's the least. - No, it isn't. - It's two letters. It's like the smallest. - I have a 48 hour window. Unless it's something important to talk about. And then if it's something that's too important to talk about, you try to talk about things that are not meant to be talked about over a text message. - Exactly. You over, you do stuff. - I can't read. - No, I can read. - He can read. - I can read. - I can read. - If I text like, if I text, I do, I read that. - Have you guys read aloud from a book to see? - No, he can't read. - He can't read aloud. - He doesn't engage in any sort of email. - He would read your scripts. - No, I don't think he would. - Do you think he would read your scripts? - He would. - No, I read the scripts. - Yeah. - I am like that for sure. But I can send just one paragraph. - Yeah. - That doesn't need to be difficult. - I said half a sentence, half a sentence, half a sentence. - Me too. I said, like, text that way. And then I completely forget that I texted and I never looked at this. message again. Like, to me, there's no more effective way to communicate everything I'm thinking than send like one, like four paragraph text raised. But you also will be like, we will be talking about something. You will ignore what I said right before that. And you will just ask me like the stupidest question that's so self-serving. The worst part is when I read the text, the four paragraph things, it is the most redundant, drawn out thing. Me and love me to talk about all the time, whole right, 15 sentences that could be one and a half sentences, or a 15 second phone call. Yeah, yeah. You do your brain. Did you think about that? Is that the same bottle from there? Can I tell you a story about this water bottle that's all everybody here? 80 pounds. He texted me and he was like, I'm so sad. I lost my water bottle. I thought this water bottle that you have so many of, this water bottle, we redid our bathroom. Yeah. One morning, I'm in bed and Dave goes into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Yeah. All of a sudden, I hear like a smash and I thought, oh my God, he probably just like spilt his water on the floor and then he just keeps saying, oh no, oh no, we have a big problem. It's such a big problem. I thought he's just being annoying. He doesn't want to clean up the water of the spill on the floor. And then like after five minutes, he's like, don't you want to know what the problem is? He's G.L. And I said, what's the problem? And he says, you got to come here. He dropped, I don't even know how this happens. He dropped this into our sink completely smashed open. No more sink. The sink, all the inside of the sink is gone. And this thing, no more sink. No more sink. The sink was totally replaced. The sink was perfect. Yeah, the thing was perfect. Crazy. No more sink. My contractor said he's never seen, and he's never had to deal with this particular problem. He doesn't know what to do. They were like, do we? Because it's like a custom, like, what happened? To the sink. I was just drinking the water, or like that, just to be just half of it. It was just like that. It's also the thing's 80 pounds. It's empty. But it's empty right now. Drink out of a normal plastic. When it's full, it's like a hundred pounds when it's full. Yeah, it's full. It's like a Pepsi Max. It's not. It was an expensive bottle. No. You have to replace it. What was the best day of your life? I was just thinking about it. The best day of my life? Yeah. I don't know. It's hard. I think it's like our wedding day. All of a sudden it's like cliche, because I'm like, our wedding day is like in retrospect. What about when you got Trish back? Like kids. Like, wasn't that the best day of your life when you got her back? Yeah. Where'd she go? Well, she didn't really want to be with me, you know, after being a crazy person. She thought. She thought. You guys were like such a good couple. Yeah, because I think we're, I don't know, because I think we're genuinely like life partners. And I think we're genuinely like I'm like, we talk. It's funny like she's very independent and I'm very independent. We're not needy and we're very like self-aware of our love languages where we've been together for so long. We know what we need. We know. We're very like when the second that I know that she's mad with me, I want to like address it and talk through it and like be like, okay, like I can work, you know, like I think it's just like one of those things. And I think it is just being like good with each other and not like, I think it's like when you want to be with somebody and something bad happens, what do you do? It's like fight or flight shit and it's just like, no, like let's figure this out. Like is this truly horrible? Is this truly scary? Is this, are you willing to forgive and are you willing to like allow me to work on things? And like all that kind of stuff, it's just like, it's hard. And then those hard times pass and it's fucking good and it's incredible and then you're like, oh, this is sick. And it's just like one of those things where I'm like, it's just a cycle of it. Yeah. And it's just like, I don't know. I spent the last like 12 years of my life making sure that our lives are the best they can be. What does that say? I'm cried. Do you remember? No, a long time ago. Really? Yeah. But you feel a lot. Like you'll get into a lot. I feel a lot. I just, I don't, it's just the thing that I've, I can't physically cry. But you get really mad, or really sad, or really upset. I get really mad, but I think I've like made myself like the shell where I can't cry or like this thing where I've like just pushed it down. I don't know. It's the thing where I've like tried to cry or like, I feel like it's like, you know, I don't know. I feel like I want to like, Trisha's grandparents passing or like my grandparents passing maybe but like my eyes get wet. But there's no like sobbing. Like I want to sob. Like I've tried to make myself sob and I've like tried to like scream and like try to do the thing and try to break down everything. No, like just get to the point where I'm like, I'm like so beaten down and like there's like moments in your life where you're just like, what do I have? Like I want to allow myself to cry. I want to, I want to like sob. I want to like cry until I fall asleep. It's my favorite thing to do. Like when it, it doesn't happen to me all the time. Like I feel like, I've only seen you cry like with Disco. Yeah. No, and I cry about like, I cry about like movies and I cry when like something like bad happens. Like obviously like when I watch tag at the end of tag, yeah, yeah, yeah, stuff gets me. The movie. Yeah. Where they chase. But at the end when all of a sudden they start showing all the real people playing tag because it's based on a real story. Yeah. When the game light. Yeah. Maddie likes watching movies with me and then he'll beg to watch a movie. And he falls asleep within the first 15 seconds of the movie. He'll beg. He'll beg to watch. Are you a sleepy guy? Yeah. And then he turns sideways and he goes, he goes, he goes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm so anymore. No, because I'm like, I love going into like the movie room. Yeah. I love getting super cozy. Yeah. I love it. I love it. Yeah. I love it. What's your favorite thing that you cook? Like if someone was like, have people like love performing their favorite songs? Yeah. What is your favorite thing to cook? I honestly, like I love my taco bowl that I make. I make like literally, it's just like rice. And then I make like shitty ground beef with like taco seasoning. And then it's just like chopped up tomatoes, green onions, cheese, and like maybe like thick like Greek yogurt or sour cream. I love that sort of thing. And I make, and I just call it my dog bowl and then I make my dog bowl and then I like make it for everybody. And then they're like, oh my god, it's so good. I have an idea for you. We could go in on it. We could do it. Okay. I would put my money into it. A noodle house. Just a small, small noodles. Or any noodles. I think a perfect restaurant is literally like, and I don't, I know that they probably exist somewhere, but like honestly, like a pasta bar that only, like you can, like there's so many times where I want to go in and just have like, imagine up five short noodles, five stuffed and then, and then like some long noodles. But you could go and it's only pasta and it's only that, like there's no fucking nothing because there's so many times I just want to catch your pepe or I want to fucking carbonara. I want just that and I don't want to fucking eat all this other stuff and get full. I want to get full. I want to go and eat like three or four different pasta. They sell them here. Do you start that for us? Yeah, let's go. Yeah, let's just do it. Give us a restaurant idea too. What's your idea? Birds? Birds? Birds. A chicken joint. Yeah. Nobody's doing chicken right now, so it's really good. No, it's only chicken. Yeah. It's only chicken, but it's every single type of chicken. So it's got just-- Rotisserie, fried. Chicken fingers. Buffalo wings. Chicken cheese steak. Yeah. Like chicken queso. Yeah. Yeah. No sides. Unless they're like chicken fries or chicken fries. Chicken fries. Yeah. There's full soda bar. There's a full soda. You know what? You know what? Chicken and soda. Do you know what mine is? I love that. What? Thanks. And every day you go in, it's just Thanksgiving. Yeah. And it's like-- It's just all you can eat Thanksgiving. Yeah. And you're sitting at a table like a people you don't know. Do you think that would work as a restaurant? I do. What was the other restaurant we came? Wasn't there one other one that was so good? Do you like racing? What's your favorite chicken finger? Mmm. Or chicken tender? See, do you guys call them chicken tenders? Always or do you call them chicken fingers? It's kind of different. No, they're the same, man. The same thing, right? I love a chicken finger. I really don't like bone in fried chicken. It's surprising. I like buffalo wings with the sauce, but I don't-- I don't like breaded bone in chicken. For whatever reason. I love chicken nuggets. I do love chicken fingers. And my favorite type of chicken finger is probably like that great restaurant in a town. What are your favorite types of fried chicken? Like, if you have to rate them, like a chicken cutlet is up there for me. Chicken cutlet's huge. Yeah, I think the chicken breasts, the sauce to chicken breasts. Oh, my God. And it may be diced. Like, the way I just prepared Mexican chicken, like-- Yeah. I love like a chicken cheesecake where the meat is not shredded like a cheesecake is. It's more kind of small cubes. Yeah, that's my favorite property type of chicken. Who's the first famous person ever to acknowledge you in your food? Oh, you? I was. Maybe one of them, like famous people. And like the first time, like a famous person really came in on a restaurant? No, like the first person, like someone like DM'd you and they were like, oh my God, you're amazing. Oh, I don't know. Who is the main character? I honestly think it's like, yeah, like I don't know. Like I remember Rancid came to Odd Fellows when I was like 25, 26 when we opened Odd Fellows. Yeah. And like Lars was tattooing at my buddy's tattoo shop. He tattooed kind of sporadically. And I remember Rancid came to Odd Fellows, which was like the craziest thing.

No, I just always get at it. They asked me, they're like, you know, like how do you do it? You know, be together for so long. - So he just wants to be here for me. - But this was after, like-- - Everything. You can say whatever you want. No, just like, you know. I said what I said, but, you know-- - You said what, I don't know. I just, I don't know. I don't know the answer to this. - How do you put it up with that? - How do I put it, I'm very patient in that sense. - Okay, calm down. - Yeah. But I kind of like gave up at 10 years, I think. - Yeah. - I figured I was never gonna get married. - There you go, that's good. - I asked my aunt who gives out a low-cressette pot every to every married couple for my low-cressette 'cause I was never gonna get married to Maddie. But we were together. And yeah, she gave it to me. And then he proposed to me. So then-- - Was it in the low-cressette pot? - No. - Oh, that would be such a good proposal. - No, no, no. - You guys were together for 10 years. I was complaining about-- - We were together for 14. - Yeah. - We were just, we just had 11 year wedding anniversary. - You guys fight, ever? - Yeah. - Yeah, we fight. - What do you think, what are the fights usually stem from? - Back in the day, it was more so money and him spending the money all the time. - Okay, cocksunker, cocksunker now. - But now it's like parenting styles. - Parenting styles? - Yeah. - I wanna know a little bit more about this. - What, like what? - Like what are the fights over parenting styles? - It's like he's not around, so then when he is around, then he gets mad at how things sometimes are, or like what the kids are doing, and then I get defensive because I'm like, well, I'm always here. - Yeah, like what? What are the things? - Like what they eat, and-- - Well, you don't want it. - How they talk? - Well, no, our kids just eat sugar, a lot of sugar, which is fine. - But it's just like-- - I don't think it's gonna turn them into sugar. - Why are they eating sugar? - No, I'm just so hyper aware of everything. - Yeah, okay, so like I'm like-- - No, but he gets mad because like he'll make a really nice meal and then the kids won't eat it. - And then Ozzie will go and just grab a fucking giant cookie and start chewing a cookie. - Okay, okay, wait. - I want to, I want to, both of you guys say your side, and I want to know, okay, this is a fine thing. - Maddy, maddy. So what's your issue with the food habits? - Cause they-- - I think they get a lot of sugars, but I'm also bad, because I am not home all the time, that I'm just like, let's go get ice cream like every night, or like let's go out, but I find that is like more family time, but then it's just like, the things that bump me out is like, I think Ozzie, our youngest, is like a full sugar fiend, and like we'll only show like kick and scream, and then we're just like fine. And I think like it's just hard sometimes, where you're just like fine. But then our kid is only eating sugar all day long, and I don't think it's her fault or my fault. It's just like we're both like Ozzie's a beast. - What's yours? - She's undefeated. (laughing) Also like, I grew up where like we never had sugar in our house, and I grew up in such a way, and then I'm like you, even if you don't realize you're becoming your parents, you're becoming your parents, 'cause the only real parenting style you know is your parents good or bad. And so then all of a sudden I'm like, I do stuff that, and I don't want to necessarily be exactly like my parents were stern. Like if I was grounded, I would be grounded for a week, and I would be having my meals in my room, like not hanging like no television, but I grew up with like no tell, like we were only allowed to watch television on Saturday mornings for like an hour, you know? So like I grew up super, like in a very stern, when my parents are the least stern people ever, and like the most chill, loving, amazing people, except there was like actual rules. And I think it was just like one of these things that like the rules couldn't be broken, and it's just like, - It's probably why you got so excited out. - Yeah, all about, yeah, my whole family's just drug addicts and psychopaths, and I'm like, good job. - Good job, good job everybody. - You should have had sugar with our vice-presidents. (laughing) That's the thing too, that's the funny thing, and like we made jokes about it to our parents. Like we're like, maybe you should have had maybe some sugar. Maybe I didn't have to wait till I was 14 to have a Coca-Cola. - Yeah. - No, no, not at all. - Are there any drug addicts in your family? - No. - Also, the sugar works. - The sugar works. - No, Trisha's not an addict either. - So then shut up and stop questioning your parenting stuff. - Exactly. - I want to know what your favorite thing is about Maddie, and your least favorite thing. - Oh my God. - Favorite thing? Has Rift had two on his hand? Nope, he was gonna punch her. - Oh, he was gonna, he thought he would never. - Favorite thing. - My favorite thing? How chill he is and how he makes me laugh all the time. He's just a little teddy bear. - What's your least favorite thing? - My least favorite thing? - Did he want to do the dishes? - No, that he's like dirty as all. Like, if I think about like, being that like, wife to just roll over and like, give a nice blowjob in the morning. And then I think in my head, I'm like, no, he didn't shower then. He didn't shower then. He didn't, oh no, he flew a plane and then like, no, definitely not going in my mouth. - Wait, so what's your favorite and least favorite thing? - My favorite thing about the dishes? - Oh, my favorite, the scooters. - Is that, she's chilling, puts your dirty day down. (laughing) - Honestly, my favorite thing is that. - Rider die. - Yeah, like I think you're trust or like you're un, like you're, yeah, like you're just like, yeah. You've been saying we're soulmates since like, we first started dating. - Yeah. - I love it. - What do you guys think like you're soulmates? - No, it is. Like I, yeah. - How come you're not speaking English? anymore. It's my beauty. My least favorite thing about Trish. I don't know. I think since moving back to Fort Erie your accents may just turn to a little more Fort Erie. It's kind of weird. You say like it sounds a little more like it's supporting us in for a while. We lived in Toronto for like 18 years or whatever but I think moving back to Fort Erie we've lived there for seven years now. That's not my least favorite. That's even no see that my least favorite thing. I don't even have a least favorite. Like I don't. He does. He doesn't but I will tell you he does for a man who never changes or showers. He doesn't really smell. No it's not. His underwear. His underwear do smell like paint. Well no but folding. See that's the accent right there. Yeah that's her accent. That's what I'm talking about. That's what Fort Erie accent. I'm not gonna talk. I'm not gonna talk. You just said no. The end is crazy. No. That's a perfect example. That's what I never heard you talk like that. So in conclusion. One two three all in for friends. Okay. What? One two three friends. Oh wait Matty didn't get to do it. It's a bad luck. Come back in. One, two, three, four!
