Pilot episode! Massimo is already MIA. But he'll be back next week. (And to be fair, we actually recorded these out of order) Co-host Ali Hassan (CBC's Laugh Out Loud, Just for Laughs) is joined in studio by fellow Montrealer and food-destroyer Patrick Hakeem for food porn, standup stories, and Maple-glazed comedy talk.![]()

Ep 2. Meat Season
Ali & Massimo are back together, at last! This week, it's summer time and the sizzling is easy. We know that was lame, but its BBQ season and the bros have some smokin' hot meat stories to share. Patrick Hakeem bails this week (it's a game of Montreal comedy musical chairs!) And Ali lands a big gig (hint, it's international)![]()

Ep. 3 - Expiry Dates
This week's episode is a little past it's expiry date... but we think it tastes just right! This was Ali & Massimo's first session in the @TALKHOLEpod studio. So, the introductions aren't needed. We say we don't have an intro yet - but as you can hear, we do! And we plug two locations of a restaurant that has since opened up a 3rd. (Hint: this week's network ID is brought to us by an artist who is definitely NOT starving)![]()
