Probably science.

Hello and welcome to probably science.

My name is Andy Wood.

I'm Matt Kirshin.

We are joined.

This is another international guest, although less international than our last international guest,

is the very funny and very Canadian John Hastings.

Oh, yes, very Canadian.

I just beat a club to death with a law that mandates that you have to say hello in two different languages.

Well, you are in Montreal right now, which is substantially more French than I was expecting when I went there the first time. It's a very interesting thing, yes. It is, it's, it's, it's, it's very French for non-French people,

and then France French people don't think it's French enough.

Right.

Because they incorporate English into their language, and they have peanut butter,

which if you know anything about France, they're very have peanut butter, which if you know anything

about France, they're very against peanut butter, weirdly.

I was not aware of that, and I've spent quite a bit of time in France over the years.

Yeah, notice no peanut butter anywhere.

For people that love a pastry, you never see peanut butter included.

Like, if you put a peanut butter on a croissant which is a absolute treat the parisians will

lose their minds you're looking for the french word for mind yeah the tontette i don't know it

i know ketchup is is like um verboten to anybody with i guess, any high class, any foodie, but I assume to French also.
