The Worst of the Best Podcast

0:00
how you feeling this morning good i overslept i uh i woke up at like 8
0:05
58 and i was just like oh god lee i think i've done that before normally that's like the worst because
0:12
like i know you so it's different but it's like if it's a podcast that i don't know them and i have to like get out of bed and
0:18
immediately start to like i think about that because i used to love like morning radio when i was younger
0:24
the 6 a.m to 10 a.m slot was like my dream gig right but then i then i learned like that like everybody hates doing that
0:30
the djs themselves the guests because they have to go on at like six in the morning yeah well yeah the guests do the guests
0:38
do every you have to go on there at six in the morning so they don't want to be there yeah no kidding totally fine it's funny
0:43
i actually overslept two by my standards i got up at 7 20 which for me is like sleeping in
0:49
the biggest problem that i have is that i will get up at six because all the animals require
0:55
attention and then i'll fall back asleep and that's what happened today no worries all right well how you holding up in
1:01
this covet environment week whatever we're in now oh goodness i i did i tell you about the
1:06
tornado did i reach out to you on that how close did it get to you half a mile wow
1:11
so that was on wednesday a tournament we're in a town of about 1500 people and it tore through the dead center of
1:17
the town so like my sister lives on the north side and i live on the south side and it went in between us it destroyed like 50 houses and it
1:24
killed i think i think three people have been dead and they're still they were fighting people
1:30
and that happened in the in the middle of the pandemic so it was just like in a weird way it's like everything is
1:35
now in the middle of the pandemic you know it's also true yeah like the biggest problem that we're having down
1:41
here is officially the people who care about the pandemic are the minority now you're only saying
1:47
it because you hate trump you only say because you're a democrat you only say it because you
1:53
want the economy to tank it all goes back to trump everything goes back to trump right you either want trump to fail or you
1:58
want him to look bad or you know and i'm just like he does that on his own so like my state
2:05
is opening next week every good virtually everything's gonna go back to normal except like it's not because they're
2:12
trying like this the governor is like trying to force the mayors to force the cities open right and
2:18
that's interesting because normally people down here in the south i don't know how big of an issue that is in canada scream about the separation of the local
2:25
from the state from the federal authority right and that's always been a lie it's always been an excuse to be
2:31
racist like it is it always has because local governments could just be
2:37
super racist and get away with it and the federal government couldn't so during the civil rights that's
2:42
everything became about local rights and states rights but anyway they don't care about any of that it doesn't matter so i'm
2:48
actually really nervous we weren't even slotted to have our epidemic
2:53
until may that's what i don't understand i'm like when we started this process
2:58
everybody we knew it wasn't coming till may and we're already stopping well at the time of this release of this
3:04
episode i i hope oh i'm assuming you're alive i wasn't gonna i'm assuming this wasn't gonna be in the episode i'm sorry i thought you know
3:10
pre-show banter man sometimes the pre-show banter is the best stuff okay yeah this whole thing is a disaster
3:16
it's a mess at the time of the release of this episode i wonder if i will be back at work because they're actually talking
3:21
i've heard a rumor hasn't the orders haven't come in soon yes what are they talking about opening school though
3:27
the basic training school no no just school school here in quebec my wife updates me all
3:32
the stuff she follows the civilian side of things i follow the military side of things apparently
3:37
they're looking at voluntarily attendance only if you so desire to send your kid
3:43
to school oh school i thought it meant boot camp no i'm sorry i'm sorry for the civilian side so schools are
3:50
supposed to be opening very soon like as of may as well for for the rest of the school year but apparently it's
3:56
voluntarily only so those who don't go will not be penalized they canceled it for the rest of the year here i used to
4:02
be a teacher so i kind of understood this they were originally not going back till the first of may so like
4:08
a week from now right but school gets out at the end of may yeah and so i'm like
4:13
if you want to go gather up an entire middle school of kids that just had a like an unexpected 10-week summer
4:20
vacation drag them back to school for four weeks knowing that in four weeks they just go
4:26
back to summer and knowing that it's a past failure and they don't have to the grades don't even matter for this year
4:31
save the assay you know because yeah i think what's happening is they're trying to balance you know people that kind of
4:37
relied on school care slash whatever yeah yeah and then for the military side of things
4:43
it'll be interesting once again once this episode is released if i'll actually be back at the uh school and their intention for military
4:50
training is to operate in a cobia environment so basically long story short they're not going to wait for their they're not going to wait
4:57
for a vaccination they're not going to wait for the public to be open because it works under the federal rules they're just
5:02
going to they're basically going to say hey we still need people to be trained we still need them you know we still need to
5:08
we can't shut down the military so we're going to we're going to work in a coven environment so what that's going
5:13
to look like for basic training will be very interesting i feel sorry for those recruits that have to go to boot camp during covid
5:19
well that might be the new environment for another year year and a half that's why they have to say well i don't even mean for the cove that i just mean for
5:25
the other the veterans when they join their unit i went to a baseball game when i was in boot camp the last week
5:31
they have a deal with the san diego padres where they have this day where it's like a free day and if it lines up with a baseball game we get to go oh
5:38
nice and i heard about that for four years all right because only like a dozen
5:44
classes a year get to do that and i mean that's like unironically held against you not in a
5:49
haha like a screw you you're soft i'm imagining that's what it's going to be like for those recruits
5:55
that's just you were a covid anytime they screw up for the next four years it'll be like well if you didn't have
6:00
kovid you went to real boot camp you wouldn't be a [ __ ] oh i see what you're saying yeah they got the training insane they got the kobe
6:07
training you got that covent training so anytime you do something good we'll use that as an excuse against you anytime you do
6:12
something bad we'll use that as an excuse against you yeah did you go to basic during the covet training system
6:18
exactly exactly the guy dropped something well that must be a covet dropout or something but
6:24
actually and i think i've asked you about this before i'm just curious they funnel all the kids through the same boot camp
6:30
and then they branch out to their own correct so you could be instructing airmen
6:36
sailors soldiers exactly that is a much more efficient method yeah it's those basic trainings really
6:43
why it's called basic training and then for example infantry guys you know the guys are shooting the guns and digging the trenches the infantry front
6:48
soldier guys they will go to what's called battle school and then people like me like who are sailors so it's kind of like there's
6:55
basic training for every element every every trade officer non-officer everyone has to go through basic
7:01
training and then they go to their element training so whether you're air force navy army
7:06
then you'll have what's called battle school or fleet school for navy i'm not sure what's called for uh air force
7:12
and then after those basic kind of trainings for you know sailor first soldier first crewman first then
7:18
you do your trade school yeah okay yeah so i i started the very beginning i'm teaching them drill
7:24
basically just you know beating the civilian the bait the yeah you're you're the train the civilian to uniform transition so
7:31
like is there a lot of inter branch rivalries and i don't mean in the sense if you
7:36
play a soccer game and it's a rivalry but like is there like issues between like the army and the navy
7:42
well it more so at my level than the students uh and yeah yeah yeah i mean i mean like
7:48
once you're like once you're in the game like once you're playing like once you're on career mode
7:53
i'm only asking because like in our in the american military there's a and you've and you've worked with them there's a lot of
7:59
branch hostility that can manifest as really dumb things it is and and i i hope some of my army
8:06
friends are listening because here's the thing i don't care they can have it and even within the navy there's
8:11
i'm on the i'm on the west coast that's my home unit and then there's the east coast navy so there's the two fleets
8:16
right east coast west coast yeah yeah and the east coast guys always say well you know we have longer sails we
8:22
have rougher waters it's always shittier the other unit it always has the worst leader
8:28
the worst equipment the worst gig the worst hours it's always that was the joke of the marine corps that there's the old core
8:35
and the old core is a floating timeline that is based on you yeah well
8:42
the old core the old core is whatever you are not right yeah and so what i tell those guys
8:49
in the navy elise when they uh talk about how rough they have it my response is hey great you can have that rougher lifestyle i
8:55
have a better lifestyle like what do you want me to say like congratulations your life sucks okay
9:01
yeah that's that was like being a reservist people would always be crappy to like all like everybody like every like we
9:08
were like second-class citizens within the military but we were always you guys realize that we live a life
9:13
outside of this it's not like they just decided oh hey you marines have to work every day
9:19
and these marines only work two days a month and then they spend the rest of it playing xbox it's like i got a job
9:25
the same so now that i'm working on at an army base because the basic training base is an army base so uh and i'm working with a
9:32
lot of army guys they kind of crap on the navy guys because we're soft you know we're soft yeah yeah and that's fine like that
9:39
rivalry that's fun that's okay but i'm talking about like hey i've got a bunch of marines that don't have food and you're like well i'm an army
9:46
guy and that would involve me being late to my supper so i'm not helping you you know it's that kind of yeah that's
9:52
kind of crap yeah so a lot of it's uh again when it's a competition to say that my life is
9:58
better than i just say yeah it is it is it is sorry yeah i'm like you're the one who chose the city
10:04
well i guess not if you get assigned the east coast west coast fleet no but but the army guys you get uh you get more pay you get more
10:11
paid you have your own bed to sleep in on the ship and all this stuff and i'm kind of like yeah but you know you in fact you could actually come over to
10:17
our side you know you can actually change trades if you want or nobody got drafted it's all volunteer still yeah something i
10:23
i and not so much in the last 20 years but before that like navy guys always deploy
10:30
yeah we do navy guys are constantly deploying no matter what if there's a war if there's no war
10:35
they're just that's what they do yeah especially you know like our navies that want to like a real
10:42
presence but you could be in the army for 20 years and never go anywhere you could be in the army and live in
10:47
kansas the whole time you know right probably i've been away from my family lots but yes
10:52
i haven't put myself in harm's way the way uh those uh infantry guys infantry guys are and i always tip my
10:58
hat to them i always tell them i said yeah absolutely you guys have seen things and experienced things that i can imagine have a marine corps
11:06
naval infantry usually yeah some other jtf i think they're called they're no are they are they sailors no
11:12
we don't have that we don't we don't have what the equivalent to you guys know like the navy seal stuff or
11:17
anything like that or marine corps no uh it's your sailor that's it and then there's people who are uh it's called like a
11:24
boarding party that's the closest we get is people on the ship will just uh as a second
11:29
yeah okay so for some yeah the marines that's historically
11:34
what they did was just boarding parties and port security and then somehow they became a
11:40
spearhead force i i really actually don't know how that happened but all right well let's get going let's
11:45
let's talk about breakfast food yeah i was gonna say uh what did you have for breakfast this morning well before we start before i overslept so as i
11:52
am on my first cup of coffee okay uh that was as has been my breakfast all right so we're gonna go in
11:58
here [Music] welcome to the worst of the best podcast
12:03
you wanted the best well they didn't freaking make it
12:09
so here's what you get from canada and texas ryan and zip
12:26
[Applause]
12:33
welcome to the worst of the best podcast i am your host ryan and with me again today
12:38
is zip for the no redeeming qualities podcast zip welcome i really have to say i love
12:45
that intro oh yeah you nailed the perfect
12:51
making it not sound good but sound good yeah that's a hard line to straddle
12:56
between being like i don't have the technology to make this sound great but i want to at least make it good to your ears you know my brother
13:03
used to go host with me and i'm not gonna i'm not gonna go to fiverr again to get a new intro for every new host so
13:10
whatever guest co-host i have i just insert their geographical location and their name into the uh
13:16
into the file yeah so before we start talking about breakfast food i i read through the list
13:22
already i did want to just ask is there any canadian
13:27
breakfast food that is being left off this this list because i mean i know that our diet like
13:33
it's not that crazy but is there any crazy canadian breakfast some kind of oatmeal hybrid
13:38
i've never heard of canada is like the us we're kind of a melting pot of cultures and and
13:44
traditions i always say it's funny when people say like you know what's your culture well i'm canadian but i i sometimes feel like as a canadian i
13:51
hate to say that i don't know if i have a culture also known as being a white guy oh okay
13:58
i'm just white i'm the exact same way because like this has a culture though it has like
14:04
okay okay yeah and texas absolutely has a culture yes that's what they mean more like i mean more like when people were like
14:10
i'm irish heritage right and it's just like i've never been to ireland why would i claim that yeah no texas definitely has a culture
14:17
maybe not always a um well you positively positively remembered texas they like to
14:25
brag about being the biggest state in the states and it's just that we're not when we're not we're not even the biggest state
14:30
aren't you i thought you're the largest geographical state alaska is technically significantly larger but alaska has five
14:37
percent of the people that texas does and by their own credit like 80 of it is just ice
14:42
so there's no racism in alaska either i've never been to alaska i don't really
14:48
know much about alaska but i find that very hard to believe no i'm sure with that yeah i know i know
14:53
anytime you isolate white people they just get more right like the less exposure a white person has to
14:59
a non-white person the more they hate them it's a complete paradox it makes no sense
15:04
this is a light episode this one doesn't involve any breakfast yeah no no death no no there's no death or
15:10
conspiracy theories or anything i did want to plant this idea in your head i don't i it might not really fit the
15:16
worst of the best format but i heard that there is a difference a significant difference
15:22
between chinese american food chinese takeout and canadian chinese yes take out yes sir but the
15:29
chinese immigrants came to america and canada at the same time and the the food is mixed separately so like
15:36
if you order takeout for your family apparently it's a different menu and that's really interesting to me for some reason i'm not a chinese food
15:43
expert per se but i've eaten it many times throughout my life i will say yes when i went to the states
15:49
i was as you know i was posted to washington state what do you guys call it in the states call it washington
15:54
no what do you call your military postings uh stationed up stationed yeah yeah we call in canada we
16:00
call it postings in uh in the states you guys called station so i was stationed with the uh washington state naval air
16:07
base there would be island for four years so i got to be in fact three of my kids are born in the states i have three american citizens
16:12
children so we ordered chinese food while we're down there many times in washington state and we were appalled by the quality just
16:19
the quality but quality in a good way or bad way well no body
16:25
for example have you ever heard of ginger fried beef never exactly i never heard of that now that's
16:32
a new one then again i'm also an incredibly unadventurous chinese takeout guy
16:37
i'm like sesame chicken it's my go-to sure you get your kung pao you got all that other stuff to me
16:44
and my canadian listeners will testify to this i don't know if anyone outside of canada like uk i'm not sure what they
16:49
do ginger fried beef is like the chinese food staple for canadians it's if you don't have ginger fried beef
16:56
so google that after ginger fried beef that is that is literally that is exactly what i was hoping for is that it
17:02
would be some it would be some super obvious thing to you that i've never even heard of that's that's exactly what
17:08
i'm going for good but anyway i guarantee you you would like it you would like it yeah so let's go through our top the top 10 most popular breakfast foods
17:16
in america and canada as we go through this list it might be interesting for
17:21
anyone that might be a listener who is a keto diet person which is me i am a keto diet
17:28
person so it's fun to go through this list to kind of see what i used to enjoy and eat and what i
17:33
can't anymore for breakfast and that in fact when i when i became a ketogenic whatever it's called follower
17:41
breakfast was the hardest hit and when i went through this list i was like wow when you follow the keto
17:48
diet your breakfast is really the hardest hit makes sense because historically the
17:53
purpose of breakfast was to give you like a lot of calories to get through the day and the best way to do that usually
17:59
bread yeah okay yeah the best way to do that is usually a bread substance with some kind
18:04
of sugar sugar syrup did you say keto diet or t-bone diet because that's the one i'm
18:10
on mm-hmm are you a or are you on the t-bone diet how does that work
18:16
i don't know my heart hurts a lot oh okay my blood my blood pumps a little bit slower than everybody
18:21
else's oh please don't die on me oh man we talked about that on our deadliest disease episodes please don't die on me
18:27
so number 10 most popular breakfast food is donuts there are people who like donuts and
18:33
then there are people who obviously just don't have good taste i think so it sounds like the keto is
18:39
kind of bringing back memories there yeah man i love donuts here of course in
18:44
canada we have the very popular chain tim hortons i don't know if you've ever heard of tim horton's joints i've heard of it
18:51
yeah so look even a guy in texas has heard of the champion i've heard of we have krispy kreme down
18:56
here which i've been which i've had not bad but tim horton donuts man if you ever come up to canada you really have to try
19:03
they they really are quite good i thought tim hortons was like a grocery store no donut coffee chainer
19:10
yes i think so yes trader joe's is uh so that's a grocery store it's sort of
19:15
yeah but it's kind of like if you were yeah basically if you're hippie whole foods is the hippie dippy crap it's um
19:22
trader joe's is like if you don't care about brand names they just literally have a jar of peanut butter that just is
19:28
labeled peanut butter so it's kind of my thing to just know there's not one near my house but anyway donuts are amazing yeah i actually was
19:35
late to the donut party i did not really start eating donuts until like my mid-twenties that was more of a bagel guy i love a
19:43
good bagel i can't help but notice that's not on this list well that's what we're gonna talk about we go through the list feel free to add whatever is part of
19:49
that family and i think the bagel is part of this family yes the bagel is solid to me because the
19:54
bagel can be a breakfast lunch or a dinner whereas the donut you know unless you're at like a minor
20:00
league baseball game if you're eating a donut sandwich you probably have a problem it's interesting because donut really is
20:06
just it's just a cake doughnut yeah it's just it's just it's cake but it's funny how the doughnuts kind of
20:12
universally accepted that you could eat this before 10 a.m yeah okay because it's just society
20:17
going yeah getting up sucks going to work sucks but if you can start your day with a donut i mean how bad can
20:24
it you know how bad can it possibly get no doughnuts are amazing i particularly love any that have the cream or the
20:30
jelly inside of it yeah for my canadian listeners my favorite tim horton is the boss and cream what's in oh okay
20:36
good it's like a chocolate cover top and it's like the caramel type butterscotch flavor in the middle i
20:42
think butterscotch yeah the only donut i don't like your standard fried glazed donut
20:48
but you'll still eat it i mean i'll eat it if the option is nothing of course but i'm saying like i love a
20:54
good cake doughnut gimmicky stuff not not fried where it's all sad and saggy
20:59
it should be noted that i'm doing this recording an hour before lunch and all i've had
21:04
to eat today as per the keto diet is two cups of coffee so i'm uh i'm starving this is killing me it's not
21:10
really food at all that's no beverages yeah that explains your hunger because you're not eating food
21:17
how do you do keto at work when you eat it like the chow hall do you just have to i pick the best selection that i can
21:24
that's cute just do what you can yeah and usually it's pretty good usually they're pretty good i just want to say about the bagel that you brought the bagel it's part of
21:29
the donut family and i think bagel is is basically it's a donut in disguise in that it's the same
21:36
nutritional value it's basically donuts without without the ice cream if you think about it you can just toast
21:42
the bagel you just can't toast the doughnut it's boiled bread it's apparently equivalent to four slices of standard
21:48
bread oh yeah it's great you're compacted you've yeah you've compacted five slices of bread into it
21:54
again it's the illusion of healthy but it's it's not well okay anybody who's kidding yeah anybody
22:00
who's kidding themselves that a bagel is like healthy i mean if you eat a bagel
22:05
but yeah you're putting cream like if you're like a psycho like me you're putting a layer of cream cheese which is keto friendly then
22:12
a layer of jelly which is not keto friendly which is not it's also on a bagel which is definitely not keto friendly
22:19
so you you are just eating cream cheese out of the out of the container that's your breakfast while i'm enjoying
22:24
a bagel yes essentially now i will say that you are like 15 years older than me and i look older
22:31
than you so you might be on to something i do let's don't be modest all right it's funny how you talk about
22:38
how the bagel people pretend it's healthy when it's not i got number nine and this is also not
22:45
keto friendly no and i miss it and that is the home fry also known as hash browns
22:53
yep also known as just potatoes just fried potatoes and different different varies and i do actually have
22:59
a strong strong preference for sliced up string hash browns than
23:05
the potato wedges a good hashbrown for me is definitely if you're to cut them up in cubes with
23:10
keep the skin on but you deep fry them like come on that's the kind i don't like i like it i like them shred i like it i like it
23:16
shredded okay like strings because what i like i like to mix up the i like to take the the meat and the egg
23:24
and mix it all together like hot sauce you can't do they can't do that with the other hash browns but let's see the list is there another
23:30
potato product i don't think so so basically it's your overall yeah it's
23:35
home fries so in that family would of course be the shredded deep fried hash brown boy and uh one of my favorite
23:42
meals i used to have before again before i was keto if we had leftover potatoes from a previous
23:48
supper i would take those potatoes usually even if they're mashed i put those mashed potatoes on a skillet
23:53
with a lot of uh vegetable oil and deep fry the mashed potato and have that next to my eggs
23:59
oh man i'm getting hungry this is a terrible episode this is gonna be brutal for you
24:05
potato is like the boy it's amazing the power of the potato and how much it
24:11
can be used for in every single meal in so many different ways but completely no no real health health
24:17
factor it's like all things in moderation so it's it's also you're taking the potato
24:22
and like covering it with oil and deep frying it and then blaming the potato not you i'm just saying society in
24:28
general we blame the carbs but like it's we also spend a lot of time like frying it
24:34
true another thing that i miss so so far i'm two for two on this list i deeply miss my potatoes i love potatoes
24:40
mashed potatoes french fries potato chips ugh anyway yeah is this some sort of potato
24:46
this is a good ad for joining the keto diet so far all the things you get the minute so far
24:51
well speaking of keto number eight looks right up your alley believe it or not number eight is oatmeal oatmeal
24:58
is it sounds healthy but oats is not part of the keto diet you cannot have oats really nope even if you're not putting a
25:04
bunch of sugar and other goofy stuff in it yeah no so keto as people should know and i'm not trying to make this a keto episode
25:10
but keto's no sugar but it's also no grain so no that sucks no he had
25:17
the problem i have with oatmeal is i've never enjoyed any kind of oatmeal except the
25:23
maple brown sugar that's always been the only flavor of oatmeal that i can oh okay my family growing up we had four
25:30
boys like my parents were both working parents we were never poor we were middle class back when middle
25:36
class was existed that was a thing like the early simpsons when a working working-class family was
25:41
it no we had two tvs [Laughter] but we never had a microwave growing up
25:47
really yeah my first microwave was in my 20s at least have like a toaster oven air
25:53
fryer no no no nothing okay well here's the thing we never had to reheat food there was
25:58
never leftovers yeah ever yeah that's true four boys a lot leftovers adorable
26:06
we come home from school and we would eat wednesdays the cupboards were bare you know and my poor parents we ate them
26:13
out of house on home but we were never poor we never went hungry however we ate everything we never bought boxed cereal because if
26:20
we bought a box of cereal gone one sitting gone yeah so oatmeal oatmeal
26:25
was something that was cheap and you could make plenty of it i grew up on oatmeal
26:30
so what did your family do to the oatmeal unless you're a psycho i don't think anybody just eats
26:36
just untouched oatmeal which so what did you do what did your family do to my parents spice it up okay well we are
26:43
psychos oh you just ate it plain not only that not only that check this out we were
26:49
raised on skim milk powder powdered milk you ever heard of powdered milk i have so we would mix and make our milk
26:56
at home because if my parents bought fresh milk from a carton it would just just go on yeah be like ice cream you
27:02
have to add you have to add the step of creating the milk in order to drink it just to prevent it from getting okay
27:09
so we had skim milk with oatmeal and i think we were allowed to have brown sugar but that was like rationed
27:16
all you got to do is just put a drizzle of syrup over the top of it or like some sugar it actually goes a long
27:21
way dinosaur egg oatmeal was probably or after your time oh yeah you know my
27:27
uh i have two adult children now but those adult children had dinosaur egg oatmeal when they were kids yes
27:33
i eat dinosaur eggs as a grown man if you're not familiar with it it's essentially maple brown sugar
27:40
oatmeal and it comes with these little eggs in it that melt when you put water on it and heat it up so it's got little
27:46
candy dinosaurs in it i'm eating the oh the gd oatmeal shut up if i want dinosaur
27:52
exhibit now the other thing in the family of oatmeal you've also got cream of wheat
27:58
oatmeal's poor brother we loved it cracked wheat that we've added honey to it we consider that a treat compared to the
28:04
oatmeal really yeah okay yeah because my husband loves cream of wheat so we always have it in there and
28:09
unless i have unreasonable munchies i usually don't touch it that's how you know that i've like really got the munchies if i'm making like cream of
28:15
wheat at midnight now hold on real quick let me look is grits
28:21
it's like a white yeah it's ground up corn and it just it kind of looks like cream of wheat
28:26
it's like a really thick cream of wheat if you're from the south you put butter on it if you're from the north you put
28:31
sugar on it which or both certain people put sugar on grits is just a weird oh i do sugar i don't do the butter
28:38
interest for some reason south of the mason-dixon line you put butter on it north of the mesa dixon light you put sugar on it's really north of that yeah yeah we
28:45
call it porridge do you call porridge oatmeal we call we refer to as porridge growing up what is is porridge something different porridge
28:51
is commonly used as a breakfast cereal dish made by bowling ground crushed or chopped starchy plants typically grain
28:58
in water or milk but it's specifically what we just called oatmeal porjo we in fact we call it a porridge oatmeal
29:03
orange oatmeal yeah that's weird one of my favorite breakfast treats is a good cup of a good bowl of gruel yeah i've heard you
29:10
know like charles dickens novel what i wanted to say about oatmeal or porridge what makes
29:15
it popular and i think why it falls on the list is a because it's inexpensive for the most part especially you just buy it
29:21
like right out of the bag not pre-processed but also you can add you can add stuff to it you know add fruit
29:26
sugar milk cream banana berries it has so many things you can do with
29:32
this so i think that's why it's so popular apparently the seventh most popular breakfast is just fruit
29:38
good old fruit is fruit keto no it tastes good so i bet not
29:44
wow can i say like have you ever just sat down with a piece of fruit for breakfast just so you know for keto you can have
29:50
blackberries uh raspberries blueberries but it's a very small portion as a treat but
29:55
you can't sustain what happens what happens if they find out you're eating non-keto who finds out you always phrase
30:03
it like that there's some like group keeping tabs on you i can have a couple blackberries but
30:08
don't let them know don't let them know i know it sounds like it does sound like a religion
30:14
and i apologize underrated breakfast grapefruit yeah i like grapefruit they
30:20
have the special spoon but other than that you know it's funny i've never been a fruit guy i've
30:25
always found it most fruit for me a little strong of a tongue i don't know how to explain it
30:31
apples were about all i could really eat but i when i ate like berries or pineapple or kiwi or whatever i always
30:37
found even though i enjoyed much of the taste i found it it's sharp on the tongue i don't that makes sense but
30:43
they say that as you get older your tongue gets more dull and that's why as you get older you like spicier food or stronger stuff
30:51
what's your favorite fruit if i had specifically to do it for breakfast i'd probably pick a grapefruit
30:56
but i think overall favorite fruit it's got to be the watermelon yeah that's kind of a cheat
31:02
though watermelon that's what makes the watermelon so good it tastes great it's filled with water
31:08
it's hydrating oh i love watermelon everybody loves water it's an unfair stereotype for african americans the same thing with
31:15
it's the same thing with fried chicken i'm just like that's so unfair because everybody loves those things without television or even the internet
31:22
now or because growing up in canada if you were to tell me as a 15 year old kid let's
31:27
say listen 1990 and say hey ryan black people like watermelon and fried chicken
31:33
i would be like i don't i have i have a semblance of an answer it's i it's not the exact answer but i
31:38
do know roughly where it comes from first off yes that is a hundred percent of stereotype
31:43
to the point where my friend he's a co-host on no redeeming qualities he comes on every so often he does the
31:49
music base chef he's a dj in houston he's black and he was driving on the highway and he was eating a bucket of
31:55
fried chicken while he was driving the car next to him had their cameras out and was filming him
32:01
because it was a i mean because it was a black guy driving down the highway eating chicken out of the bucket and so like
32:06
robbie gave him the finger sure and they almost crashed because they were paying so much attention to him
32:11
so yeah that is absolutely a real stereotype but it comes from
32:17
just historically in the south watermelon is a is incredibly abundant it's everywhere
32:23
and chicken is a is very abundant it's everywhere it was kind of the association it's like a
32:28
poverty food okay where it's interesting is in the south it's a poverty food for everybody
32:33
so everybody ate fried chicken everybody watermelon and i think if i remember correctly it started
32:41
around world war one with some political cartoons
32:46
that always depicted the vladville looking yeah yeah i've seen black people eating cartoonishly eating
32:52
like a whole thing yes i think that's where it comes from pre-internet ryan in the 1980s and 90s
32:57
wouldn't have made the connection so again we can thank the internet to kind of spreading racist i'm sure i'm
33:03
sure canada has their own little oh sure you have some ignorant thing about what do you call them first nationers
33:10
aboriginal people uh yeah sure they got i'm sure they were just oh no
33:16
i'm sure i'm sure i'm sure they just gave you canada they just were like oh
33:21
sure have it yeah we just came in we shook some hands and you know they they say that crap to us
33:28
when we're in school they say no other country did this crap that is the biggest load of garbage we have a terrible
33:34
everyone killed indians yes mexico has a terrible history with native americans
33:39
uh texas america canada south america everywhere has a problem with how they
33:45
treat the native americans they have the worst treatment out of all the people everywhere
33:51
they're just sitting here minding their own business and we come on the ships hey we kind of like this land bye yeah it's
33:57
uh i know in america i've noticed that it feels like native americans are just the only group that can just be mocked
34:03
for their race and you know they still have the the washington redskins football team the cleveland indians i do
34:10
not know how they get away with the cleveland indians because the mascot is like a stereotypical
34:15
red man on like a cigar box that's pretty bad somehow that's okay all right number six
34:22
has anybody's been keto yet no no number six good old-fashioned a bowl of cereal growing up i didn't
34:30
have cereal growing up it was a literal treat if my folks ever bought the cereal it was like a whole wheat like a puff wheat maybe a
34:37
box of shreddies shredded wheat yeah just another shredder wheaties wheaties no no no no frosted no not frosted
34:45
wheaties no because that has sugar on my parents they weren't health nuts it wasn't about that it's just too expensive to buy yeah your
34:52
son they didn't even have the giant bags costco didn't exist obviously growing up
34:58
so bulk food was a very though it probably did exist it was very niche like
35:04
you never heard of anyone buying because in the 80s and 90s we kind of ate our proper portions i don't remember
35:10
any family needing five gallon tubs of mustard and you know family-sized bags that never existed
35:16
when i grew up i don't remember if it did well the family size bag that was pre-costco for me too just
35:22
it was grocery store brand so you could get lucky charms or
35:27
you could get grocery store brand marshmallow mateys right was three times cheaper and you got
35:33
three times the bag i wanted cocoa puffs i wanted real cocoa puffs sure and my mom was like well i'm
35:38
not buying cocoa puffs so what she did was she bought a box of cocoa puffs and then she would buy the giant bulk
35:45
bag of the cheap co they were called coco roos and she would just take it and put it in the box
35:53
and i was so irritated when i found that out as an adult like i just had no idea i thought i was so lucky oh man i got i
36:00
got cocoa puffs every morning and then the other thing that's weird about cereal with me is i don't eat cereal milk never have
36:07
what never have oh wow my mom had a horrible gag reflex
36:12
the weirdest stuff made her vomit soggy cereal and milk just couldn't do it she just could not
36:18
even be around it oh wow of course if she's making breakfast you're not you're just not putting milk and cereal that's just
36:24
i'm 30 now and i'm just at this point it actually grosses me out too wow okay and i'm lactose intolerant so it's
36:31
okay don't think that is the craziest thing in the world that i won't put milk in no it's not i i have a daughter that
36:36
doesn't put milk in her cereal she doesn't even eat the cereal and speaking of it's weird kids nowadays like we have like in our house right now we've got
36:43
three or four different types of cereal they kind of pick away at it it's weird i i look at my kids i'm like i'm trying
36:49
to offload this cereal i don't know if it's just kids nowadays or maybe they're so you serial people have lost their mind
36:54
cereal people have gone crazy because now there's cinnamon toast frosted flakes
37:00
and like frosted flake lucky charm marshmallows it's like caligula level excess now
37:06
you know my favorite cereal i was an adult because i when i became an adult i got to buy my own groceries i used to buy uh like a
37:13
cinnamon toast crunch golden grahams i could eat that i could eat that by the bowl full but number five um good old bacon
37:21
daddy kenny here we go you can eat the first one you're halfway through the list and you just started eating
37:28
now bacon is great i'm of the opinion that if humans have been eating it
37:33
for millennia it's probably a solid staple food have you ever binged bacon eat i have
37:40
my husband just a couple weeks ago we had a thing of bacon that was about to go bad and he was like i'm gonna bake all of it
37:47
and just put it in the fridge and that's great then i uh i ended up getting kind of high and i ate
37:52
way too much bacon i made myself sick and that was two weeks ago bacon is is great the only problem with
37:58
bacon was a couple years ago 10 years ago bacon like became a meme
38:04
it was like oh bacon on everything yeah making all my bacon all my ice cream bacon on my
38:09
cereal like i'm you know this and that it's just it's bacon bacon on my bacon yeah yeah yeah i bake it on my bacon
38:15
exactly i think it was that youtube show like epic meal time or something like that oh i love bacon and here's another
38:22
misconception for people who aren't on keto and they hear about people like oh you can have bacon so use you to so much now there might be
38:29
people who do kill like everything else who overeat bacon it's just it's keto friendly
38:34
meaning it doesn't still eat it in portions right like i don't eat it every meal every day but
38:39
when i do eat it like when i when i kind of treat myself to it i admit yeah i'll probably have more than
38:45
oh actually no it's not true i actually probably end up having the same amount that i have when i used to eat bacon out of keto it's just when you
38:51
can eat bacon doesn't kick you out of ketos when i'm getting that so that's why there's no sugar in it there's no carbs very little if
38:58
there's any so any kind of meat product is is keto friendly it's just bacon so yummy and when you're on the keto it's
39:03
kind of like our treat leave us alone we got to have something that we can really enjoy so i love bacon end of story this was no way before
39:10
canadian bacon that's just ham as you call it ham yeah
39:16
we as canadians never call it canadian bacon we don't know why it's called that i don't either and then
39:22
somebody told me once that there's a difference between canadian bacon and ham but i think they were not mistaken i think canadian baby is
39:29
some section of the pig that only you have access to yeah yeah sure that only canadians have
39:34
found it's ham and like any meat it could just be prepared in many different ways and i have yet to know as a canadian what
39:41
way that is that makes it canadian i don't know it's very polite that's the difference
39:47
is that canadian bacon is very polite it treats its uh aborigine people awfully we love them
39:53
all you guys are sowed i thought you guys were so nice i'm nice it's like the same thing with americans
39:59
and slavery right it's like i was born 130 years after the civil war ended like i had
40:06
nothing to do with slavery i get that there's this whole white privilege and generational
40:11
wealth changing but it's like i didn't own a human being so don't yeah i didn't raid in an apache camp you
40:18
know like no i didn't purposely infect a tribe of people with a virus so i
40:25
could take their land or kill them in war they got just horrible things it is i personally i personally haven't done that i'm
40:31
my ancestors were dicks i got it yeah and i'm sorry in their defense in their defense oh wow
40:39
they really wanted that land what were they supposed to do buy it this of course you know british
40:44
people right what they did was is they came in and they said hey we'll buy your land off you
40:49
essentially and the aboriginal people were like you can't purchase land land is just here same problem same
40:56
problem down here that really is kind of a but it is a beautiful thought and i did that yeah we're all occupying the earth
41:02
what what are we what are we purchasing we just live here but we have guns yeah they shoot projectiles out
41:09
much faster and much harder than your arrows do so yeah you should probably take this deal if
41:15
you think you're gonna take our weapons away you're gonna have to pull them out of my cold dead hands or take away our or take away our right
41:21
native americans or the aboriginal canadians are like uh yeah we know that feeling but i do love the
41:27
cold dead hands comment because i'm very pro-gun i am from texas i love that philosophy because i'm like
41:34
yeah that's what happens when you get into a gunfight with somebody you either get killed or they kill or
41:41
you kill them so i don't understand the whole you're going to get out of my cold dead hands it's like yeah
41:47
otherwise get rid of the gun then what's the point well but you just see on the news and usually it's white people kind of white trash
41:53
type people who are saying like you're not going to take away our homes or whatever and they build their militia
41:58
and i was saying yeah that was what the native americans were saying yeah yeah those bundy people who were ranching on
42:04
federal land and then when the federal government told them they had to start paying for it they uh started a militia and i could tell you
42:11
if that was a militia of native americans or black people or hispanics they killed everyone wow whole all of them every
42:17
single one of them speaking of speaking of a whole lot of stuff speaking of
42:22
speaking of yeah speaking of murder speaking of murder you know honey you know how many uh animals have died making pancakes none
42:28
because pancakes are flour do you know how many pancakes you eat on keto zero well actually no that's not true
42:35
there are cute there is keto friendly pancakes is it is it the cauliflower pancakes there's always
42:41
yeah okay well let's be nice but listen everything that we've talked about this list there is kind of a keto version for
42:47
it and i know it's not quite the same but what's happened to your taste buds and i've speaking this from experience i
42:53
remember when i first had my keto friendly bread i was like whoa it was it wasn't good because it didn't have the sugar it
42:58
didn't have the yeah but you condition your way to taste certain things certain ways but once you
43:04
start just eating things your brain and your taste buds or whatever it's like oh yeah this is now what i'm eating
43:10
i haven't had a keto friendly pancake i don't think maybe i have i like pancakes pre-keto pk
43:17
i never got excited by them but i liked them and i think i got excited by the syrup and butter yeah
43:22
thing about pancakes is endless pancakes is a lie it's a big scam denny's ihop i'm more of
43:29
an ihop guy right but they're like endless pancakes it's like well i'm gonna eat three and that's all i want
43:34
or so you might as well just order three pancakes but what about waffles that falls into this category absolutely
43:40
but i meant more like versus the pancake what do you prefer the waffle or the pancake
43:45
okay here check this out i love the texture of the waffle the crispiness
43:51
on the edge and stuff but i appreciate and like more the spreadability of butter and syrup on
43:59
the pancake i wish it was a way to combine the crispiness texture of the waffle with the ease of
44:06
spreading the butter because when you put the butter on the waffle it gets caught in the in the squares you can't spread it evenly you got these
44:11
pockets of butter you get what i'm saying you see you got to figure out a way to make one
44:18
side of waffle one side of pancake sure yeah and then you just flat side and then a waffle side butter one side syrup
44:24
the other we got can you make a waffle a pan is there such a thing can we do this
44:29
could we market this i'll make a no we'll look into it but i prefer waffles i love the syrup
44:35
trapping technology i love that you can more easily put fruit on top of waffles
44:40
sure spreading butter on the wall i don't usually i don't usually spread butter on a waffle though that's why i've never ran into that problem
44:46
okay i could see how that would be a problem if that was something you wanted but it is a problem because you start
44:51
spreading that butter like ah it just keeps like it's like a spoon it's a spoon underneath the knife just capturing that
44:57
butter you've got huge pockets of juice yeah but whole rich butter bites which is great when you're on that bite
45:02
but then you'll have the dry bite next well speaking of next speaking of dry
45:09
speaking of dry bite toast that's right good saying toast is toast is just like the oatmeal of bread
45:17
what am i do i have a stomach ache in the morning like i'm eating buttered bread my kids love toast that's the funny thing
45:24
they love toast mike i have a jam on it or j or butter toast and butter that's your biggest yeah really yeah sometimes i'll ask for
45:31
peanut butter it should be noted my wife home makes bread too um yeah she uses honey for sweetener
45:37
that's quite the disrespectful to you oh i don't know if you saw that picture i posted on facebook the other day
45:44
i saw that it was uh she baked a whole bunch of bread but i might not have read the caption i just said two things one my wife baked
45:51
all this bread two i can't eat it there you go yeah seems like she could have yeah anyway whatever that's your problem
45:57
nobody's making you not eat bread i know i'm not complaining i know i know i know i'm not a martyr
46:05
i'm not a martyr this is all voluntary i uh i believe in
46:11
this lifestyle there's days i hate it i admit it there's days i hate it i think the best way toast is eaten you save it till the end
46:18
and you use it to clean everything off the plate that's where toast shines uh when i used
46:23
to eat toast with eggs for example i would time it where i would cook the eggs and i knew i had about two minutes or 90 seconds left on
46:30
the egg i'd toast the toast that way the toast was hot cold toast is the worst yeah you have a
46:35
very small window between the cooking of the toast the butter in the toast you don't want the butter too cold because it cools down
46:42
the bread it's a real art to actually having a good piece of it is you put much more time into the
46:47
toast thought then now in the same family as toast you've also got biscuits
46:54
yes and biscuits i think are vastly superior to toast oh well yeah
46:59
yeah yeah yeah vastly super it's a different game you know and there's food that you guys have that we don't have that's one of the
47:05
things in canada we don't serve biscuits and gravy really no oh biscuits biscuits and gravy
47:11
you know it's funny i asked you is there any kind of canadian breakfast that might not be on the list
47:16
biscuits and gravy is an amazing breakfast because it's usually
47:21
it's hot it's tasty yeah it's the only time i've ever experienced it i've never had it served to me by a canadian
47:27
counterpart but the most i've ever experienced it is in a hotel hotel breakfast they seem to
47:34
yeah prefer white gravy or brown gravy uh usually i've found myself having the
47:40
white gravy with the biscuits traditionally white gravy is what is served with biscuits and gravy white
47:46
gravy with sausage yeah but yeah that's right if you're looking for something new try biscuits and gravy with brown gravy
47:52
apparently that's sacrilegious to some people oh i think it's delicious sausages number two oh keto friendly
48:00
now you gotta be careful because there's some sausage makers have sugar so you have to buy the ones without the sugar added to the sausage
48:06
but who doesn't love sausages i love sausages if it's ever one of those breakfast options where it's like you can pick
48:12
sausage bacon or ham it's never sausage wow never sausage going so far that like my
48:18
favorite dish at ihop is i think it's the double platter i don't remember what it's called bacon eggs hash brown you get a little
48:25
bit of ham a little bit of sausage a little bit of bacon i always have them give me more bacon
48:31
instead of sausage bacon still wins for me of course uh sausage is tricky it's a good sausage is a great sausage
48:38
exactly okay exactly yeah thank you okay but a bad sausage is a terrible sausage
48:43
ham is whatever yes worst you can do to hammer bacon is dry it out you know yeah bacon bites nature's just
48:49
bacon same with ham but sausage you can really mess up you could really mess up a sausage
48:55
yes that is it i've never really thought about it like that that it's just like if i'm at some toenail diner the chances the bacon and
49:02
the ham are going to be at least acceptable yes much more likely than it's hard to ruin bacon it just
49:08
is unless the cut itself is bad but yeah sausage you can ruin by the wrong spice
49:14
the wrong texture yeah but a good sausage is pretty tough to be it's pretty good the only thing i've seen that can go
49:20
wrong with bacon is i knew somebody who would buy it off like a butcher and they would maybe it wasn't necessarily bacon it was like fat back
49:27
yeah yeah like the real thick bacon yeah yeah had a nipple on it it still had the teeth he
49:33
yeah like it was the kind where he would buy it with like the skin still attached and it had like a nipple on it like you cut it off anyway but it was just
49:40
what it really came with it the nipple yeah because you're going to the butcher and you're buying just the chunk of the
49:46
beef because it's so or the chunk of the pork because it's much cheaper to buy it that way and then
49:51
you cut it up and prepare it it's going to have skin on it and might have a nipple
49:57
you don't eat the nipple but i don't want to see the nipple i think
50:03
he sent it to me and i was i was disgusted okay i don't want to even wait don't i don't want to see it either don't even
50:09
hold on this is from a pig interesting would you rather eat a pig's nipple
50:16
fried or a pig snout fried uh snout yeah i think i had a vocals
50:26
uh when i put fat back nipple bacon with nipple
50:33
stop here it is that's bacon with the nipple still on it oh okay you see what i'm saying but
50:39
that's what it is ryan [Laughter] i don't want to see how the sausages i
50:46
don't want to know how the sausage is made no i don't oh man that's gross all right okay and
50:54
last yeah it's hard to argue with this even before i read the list i was like eggs has got to be number one
50:59
right right it is the universal breakfast food i think how you need to know how universal eggs
51:05
are as a breakfast food is that it's worldwide despite the eggs
51:12
being different yeah it seems like everybody eats some kind of egg dish
51:17
for breakfast but not everybody has the same birds that make the eggs how do you like your eggs i i don't make
51:24
good sunny side up eggs myself so i usually do over easy if i'm cooking it but i love a sunny side up egg
51:31
give me that yolk i make a great egg lots of butter over easy for of course very keto
51:36
friendly can never have too many eggs uh lots of nutrition value eggs is uh
51:42
number one for a reason because it is yeah across the world different birds have different eggs yeah if you had a
51:47
non-chicken egg before you know it's funny you say that i actually sell non-chicken eggs i sell
51:53
duck eggs to people because i have ducks that lay eggs so i actually have had duck eggs so i
51:59
have chickens and i have ducks and the chicken eggs we sell a lot of them so duck egg is it people just like
52:06
the taste better or are they used for cooking okay so shake it eggs you just use them for eggs whatever just like you anywhere
52:12
else now the duck eggs they're bigger right if you crack it in a bowl
52:18
duck eggs have these giant yolks huge yolks and a little bit of white
52:23
and they don't cook in a pan very well so like i tried to make breakfast tacos with them and so you can scramble them it just
52:30
doesn't cook all that well now what people do with them is all kinds of stuff we use them for
52:36
baking they're really good for baking they're really good for cooking with you know anything that you have to like
52:42
cover the chicken and yolk and then rub it in something and then cook it my father-in-law him and his hunting
52:47
buddies take them and they bury them and they let them rot and then they eat them when
52:53
they ferment some of my customers out here deep fry them okay some of my customers out here
52:59
pickle them everybody's got the thing they do with these duck eggs
53:05
eggs are funny would you actually just look at an egg it is the most popular item for
53:10
breakfast for a reason but it it should be gross it should be grosser than what we're enjoying the gross how they look and where they
53:18
come from and how they came to be versus how much people enjoy them that ratio or that the spectrum of difference
53:24
is amazing eating ham kind of makes sense yeah i'm just eating you know i'm eating the meat of an animal
53:29
but i'm eating something that's inside of a shell that got pooped out of a butt it's a weird concept that we just we just accept that
53:37
but if you get into this mindset where the purpose of the yolk inside the egg is to feed the embryo
53:43
it's why the yolk exists at all is so it's a food source for the baby so it's really not that crazy you're
53:49
just taking the food source when there's no baby and you're eating it so i'm eating the babies baby chickens with food
53:56
okay all right now granted if it's fertilized then you crack it open and there's a baby in it then that's but it's just how it looks too this idea
54:02
is it is gross yeah but i mean think about that with milk milk comes out of a nipple
54:07
me and bob my co-host in our queue we argue about this all the time because mostly he laughs at me for being lactose
54:14
intolerant because he says it's an inferior gene right but historically humans quit
54:19
drinking milk at like two years old and then you never drink it again yeah cause
54:25
if we didn't have cows ryan to be i know we don't usually talk about this
