Just Chips Dot Com

Demon, demon, not my demon. Ever wondered what is the most demonic chip of the chip world? In our opinion it is a slurry of potato, corn, and who-knows-what else: Pringles. We sit down with comedy writer Mike O'Neill (Trailer Park Boys/Crawford) and musician Thom Gill (Bernice) to talk demonic personalities, compose some demon ditties, and crunch a few of this devilish snack. Special caller Andre Hyland (The 4th) poses a devilishly demonic question.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode is the inaugural recording at our new studio! We gathered random phone numbers from our pals and caught up with a few of our "friends" across the country. Our "friends" in Edmonton, Montreal, and St. John's, being the great old "friends" that they are, put us to the test with some saucy chip questions. And speaking of sauce, we'll find out what's more inspiring -- ketchup liquid or ketchup powder.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Beginnings, beginnings. This is where our little show began: in a small, hot closet with chips and sodas. In this inaugural episode rerun, we talk firsts -- the first studies in chip archaeology, prehistoric chip duelage of yesteryear, and what came first, the chip or the potato? Bonus fun fact: all the sound bytes from our theme song originated from this episode!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Matt Johnson (Operation Avalanche) and Jay McCarrol, creators of Viceland's Nirvanna the Band the Show, join us in studio for finger foods and parlour games. We crunch through first dates, conspiracy theories, and Christian summer camp. As Timeless Keanu Reeves is our witness, our final battle will tackle that big question: which duo is BBFF -- BETTER best friends forever?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

From the pouch of a 'roo to a Patagonian 'que, we've covered all the meat bases we can. We even have our own meat cute, where star-crossed meat dishes from Ottawa and Halifax go tête-à-tête. Crunchy! Don't forget to tweet your meat!

Same chip, different countries. How could we resist a side-by-side comparison when we discovered that the U. S. of A. tried its hand at All Dressed chips, a true Canadian staple? With our pals Gaboo and Joe, we discover what binds and separates these two great nations and (spoiler!) it's all about cod pieces, being in the buff, and that famous Canadian 'sleb Jarb Barber.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RE-RUN From Season 1: We talk to our friend "Maya" from the witness protection program, who is living in "Paris," "France." All these details may or may not be true, but what we do know is she needs an answer for how to bring your favourite chips across borders when travelling beyond home turf. We investigate the case and report back. One tip: Beware of Uncle Lay's and his kind but meddling ways.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Oil unites us all, from bodybuilders to babies, from enemies to clowns. You thought oil was just for eating? Think again. Dragaloon best friend Iain is back, this time in studio, and he's hungry for chips... the oilier the better. We get oil insights from special guest Doug “DJ Douggpound” Lussenhop (of Tim and Eric, the Eric Andre Show, and Portlandia) and get personal about the different oil uses in all aspects of our lives.

Ruffles vs. Ruffles vs. Ruffles vs. Ruffles. Today we delve into 4 bags of plain ruffles like we would a fine wine tasting: suspicious and confused, but with our hearts on our sleeves. We sit down with Ruffles expert (or should we say, Ruffliano) Steph to talk about Ruffles vintages, the Windsor-Detroit Corridor and if anything at all tastes better old and moldy. Finally, in a special three-month check-in with Steph we hear a tragic update about her snack life...

This week we munch on three bags o' crisps straight off the Emerald Isle. Our guest, Professional Chris Berube, teaches us a thing or two about Irish history and Irish Root Beer Floats. This episode features the Kesh Jig, Leitrim Fancy song by Sláinte (available here: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Slinte/Slinte/slinte_-_01_-_kesh_jig_leitrim_fancy) and the Irish Whistle sound by nigelnix (http://www.freesound.org/people/nigelnix/sounds/130108/).  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Here's another goody from the JCDC vault: Who would have thought the day would come when we met a chip we couldn’t master? We taste a chip brand that has a powerfully persuasive leader. You know what they say: if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Enter the cult of Uncle Ray.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Have you ever thought about the chip combinations that Donnie Dumphy (Havin a Time specialist) and Alan Doyle (Singer, Storyteller, Chip Connoisseur) might munch on? Ever hear the haunting noise of a captain's ghost peg leg while eating on a single chip flavour bag of chips? We dig in with our east coast buds and talk time. Dun dun dunnn noise from: https://www.freesound.org/people/Wolfsinger/sounds/25760/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What do the prohibition era and elevator music have in common? Wiki-deep dive into this conspiracy theory with us and our friend Callie. Oh, and grab a drink - it's the 6 à 9 hour, baby!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dip your hand into the unknown and then eat the unknown. When we receive our first fan mail, it takes a little bit of digging to figure out this whodunnit. We solve our first mystery and while we're at it we take a gentle cruise down memory lane with the Dragaloon Best Friend trio!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If you are an OG JCDC’er, you’ll have heard this one before. Doctor Z knows what ails ya. The wackiest doc in town she is, but a certifiable web MD at least. They say a chip a day keeps the doctor away, so in fact it really makes no sense that this doctor and her resident could love chips so much. Hop into our virtual waiting room and figure things out for yourself. If you like the show, if you like chips, or if you just want some good karma, help us out by subscribing, rating, and reviewing JCDC!

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Ow, this chip is too hard?" or "Wow, I love extreme sports!" or "What is Zoë's connection to Michael Jackson?" or maybe even "What are the Swedish royals up to these days anyway?" Us too. This episode we munch on Hardbite chips and talk to Atle, our extreme friend from the Swedish military, to sort through some of these key issues. Like what you’re hearing?
