    Brazilian McDonald's Taste Test (w/ Mat Elfring)

    This week, we're going international. I went to Brazil last week and it was super weird and cool. Mat Elfring is here for my 'what I did on my summer vacation" style recap of the trip, complete with a trip to McDonald's, where I taste-tested their super cool menu! There are lots of visuals for this episode, so you might want to jump over to the Big Kid YouTube to check it all out!

    Meet Halifax's own Potato Salad Guy, Riley Merry

    This week on Big Kid, we welcome a new Canadian folk hero. Riley Merry had an unopened tub of Costco potato salad in his refrigerator and it was about to go bad. Instead of throwing it out, he challenged himself to eat it all and went viral. Riley is here to talk about his journey to side dish game, what's next, and indulges Chris in talking about the best stuff in Halifax. Check out Riley on TikTok and Instagram below!

    DVDs Are Better Than Streaming (w/ Mat Elfring)

    DVDs Are Better Than Streaming (w/ Mat Elfring)

    Mat Elfring (I Just Wanna Talk To Friends) returns to talk about the pure joy of physical media in a streaming world. Mat and I have been big fans of actually collecting physical copies of movies most of our lives and that hasn't changed, even though most movies are online. Physical media is better and we will fight you.
    Make sure to check out Mat's Substack for his writing, podcasting, and general Mat-ness.

    Vegas Vacation! Kinda!

    Vegas Vacation! Kinda!

    Hey there! Sadly, we have no new episode this week due to some traveling. I'm currently in Las Vegas for work. Since I'm very cool, I'm only doing things that don't include gambling and drinking. Luckily, I already know what to do since I've literally written about it!
    https://haynerland.substack.com/p/8-awesome-things-to-do-in-las-vegas
    We'll be back next week with an all new episode!
