00:00You

00:04Those crazy Canadians

00:08Right now

00:10Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin is public enemy number one

00:15Somehow the hate is spilling over onto poutine

00:22The Canadian dish with french fries cheese curds and green

00:27We gotta change his name

00:29support Ukraine change the name support Ukraine change the name

00:35poutine a chain of french-canadian restaurants is

00:39distancing itself now

00:42Because they've received hundreds of calls of insults and threats

00:48since Putin

00:50Invaded Ukraine. Hey, listen. It wasn't our cheese curds fries

00:54and gravy that did this and it's not just that the name sounds similar

01:02Putin in French is actually poutine

01:06But obviously Putin is a person and poutine is well a food

01:11Yes, well, thanks Canada, right and the ukraine's like

01:16You're not helping anything

01:18Okay, so listen, we're gonna

01:23Stand by Ukraine. We're gonna actually send a whole bunch of poutine over there

01:27It's not help. It's not help us. No, it will. You're gonna find it really delicious if you can stop running

01:32I understand his delicious name similar to poutine. Again, I'm looking at a Russian tank a mile down the road

01:39I need help now

01:41Not poutine

01:44Well, hey, we really we really stand by you a so I don't know so here take some poutine

01:52Okay, thank you. All right, we're doing our party if you ship it here. It might not last I

01:57It'll get taken by Russians you're giving just put it in the fridge. Hey, you find a fridge

02:04Essentially, you are giving it to Russians

02:11What's even more confusing they were both born in the 50s

02:15Oh, oh wow and poutine, huh? I wonder if it's plagued put in his whole life

02:21Yeah, he's like a brutal murderous dictator to escape my connection with this Canadian dish

02:27He's probably he's probably like I will finally take over Canada

02:32I will destroy that poutine when I was little boy everybody say oh you like gravy and fries

02:40I killed him. All right, I'm enjoying care GB

02:43So this restaurant chain

02:45Has actually had to put out a statement saying they support ukraine

02:49And that poutine is a dish that was born in quebec in the 1950s

02:52And it has nothing to do with the current conflict going on in the ukraine

02:56Oh ridiculous. Okay, this is the craziest thing

02:59So do they like we call it poutine or whatever, but do they call it poutine?

03:05In in uh, I don't know the french canadian pronunciation. Yeah, I don't know

03:09I don't know. Maybe maybe

03:12That would make more sense. I guess

03:14I guess

03:14But still not really

03:15It's french fries and gravy and cheese curds

03:18No, it's not invading a country

03:20And all of Canada should know what it is

03:24It's basically our national dish

03:26We're so dumb. We believe fries and gravy's invading a country. Okay, come on

03:30So now, yes, I will agree

03:32Or they think that it's gravy

03:34It's the rise of the cheese curds

03:37Oh, hey, it's everything I dreamed of

03:39Listen, fries and gravy are invading a country. It's this one

03:44Yeah, take a look around

03:46They have been for some time

03:48Yeah, because I can clearly remember like and it even happens now where people are like

03:52Uh, gravy on fries. What are you talking about? Oh, uh, just waiting

03:56You'll figure it out. Zelensky's sitting in a war bunker. I know he's like any news from our international friends

04:02What about Canada? Canada not gonna help? They're gonna help? Canada? No, I just got something over the wire

04:07What's it say? Are they sending stinger missiles? They're sending some cool canadian jets

04:14I don't see any jets and no snowbirds

04:17I don't see any guns

04:18It's a snowy place. Maybe they have snowmobiles

04:20I don't see I don't see any snowmobiles

04:22What they're sending

04:24Yes, something called a poutine

04:28And they send this song to to play when you open your letter

04:31Look at how this it's like if one of those funny cards you open it up and please

04:35And they say they send us

04:36Canadian national anthem

04:37Gravy and fries

04:38There's a photo of it. It looks like a fries with the gravy part on top and the cheese

04:43Okay, I need you to send message back to them from you

04:46Okay, let me get ready

04:47Alright, okay, say hey

04:49This not help

04:51You need weapons, not gravy

04:53Confused by gift

04:55I have to leave right now
