Key Discussion Topics & Insights

1. Matty’s Presence & Philosophy (“You’re looking. I’m living.”)

• From the start, Matty delivers his blend of humor and self-assured, lived-in style. He describes his current outfit—a vintage eBay tee, Carhartt jeans, and his new film company hat—using it to explain how authenticity, rather than conformity, fuels his “icon” status.
  • Quote: “I want old mossy, dusty, stinky on your dinky… piss stained pants. You know... That’s why I’m an icon. Because I don’t give a fuck. And everybody else is looking and I’m just living.” (06:02)

[00:21–06:10]

• His aversion to “quality” and love of well-worn clothes reflect a broader perspective about living against the grain—a recurring motif.
• He rejects the expectation to perform as his internet persona, explaining he’s calmer and quieter in person than his viral cooking videos suggest.

2. Reflections on “The Bear”: Legacy, Pressures, and Friendship

Final Season Approach

• Insight into the final season: "It's wet, a lot of weather, you know, it's Chicago. A lot of lightning, a lot of issues with the restaurant. A lot of ups and downs." (06:25)
• Matty emphasizes the show is about “a job,” not world-ending stakes: “It’s a show about a job... The world keeps moving.” (07:49)
• Focus is always on telling the story rather than placating fans: "We write the story that we want. Don’t play to the crowd." (07:14)

The End of an Era

• Matty recalls the sadness and abruptness of the final day on set:
  • Quote: "I was very sad. I was sad for, like, a month after." (13:37)
  • He highlights the genuine friendships formed and how the ensemble became a found family: “Our lives literally changed from this thing, you know? What an incredible ride... Loved and hated. Perfect.” (13:42)
  • Memories that stick: “Just smoking cigs... playing dice... It’s all the things in between making the show so fun.” (14:42)

Character vs. Self

• Matty’s character Neil is “closer to who I am as a real person than... my persona on the internet.” (09:39)
• He admits he never really thought about character development and just enjoyed learning from “amazing actors” around him.

On Set Vibes & Rituals [16:20–19:47]

• Cigarette of choice: “Jeremy Allen White. Yeah, that boy's got smoke… American spirit. Yellows or blues.” (16:24–16:39)
• Set culture included rolling cigarettes, gambling with dice, hanging around South Chicago train tracks, and building camaraderie.

---

3. Acting Beyond “The Bear”: “Toy Story 5” & Voice Work

• Matty shares his reaction to booking “Toy Story 5”: "Let's go... It wasn't even an audition. It's an offer." (20:18–20:25)
• He voices “Dr. Nutcase”—“this peanut with a lucha libre mask... all my scenes are just, like, with Woody.” (21:03)
• His method: they just wanted his regular voice (“I didn’t even do it for animated... I don’t even read.” (21:41)) and had fun in the studio, not worrying about process or method.

---

4. Family, Parenting & Kids in a Tech World

Approach to Tech and Discipline

• Strict limitations: "30 minutes of YouTube a week... no iPads in public or cars." (25:19–25:32)
• Focuses on empathy, imagination, and engagement rather than digital distractions: “Give my kids a box, and they’re just building that... very imaginative.” (27:28–27:40)
• When son breaks iPad, Matty treats it as a lesson in consequences and earning privileges back.

Sibling Dynamics & Upbringing [23:16–24:53]

• Open about his brothers (Beef and Grizz) and their wrestling nicknames—stories infused with affection and irreverence.
• Family raised Mormon, with Matty recognizing the quirks and community aspect of his upbringing.

5. Health, Weight Loss, and Routine [48:41–57:42]

• Matty’s dramatic weight loss (“from almost 350 to 265”) is recounted with humor and realism.
  • Initially gained weight after getting sober and traveling/eating for TV.
  • Found routine by treating health like addiction recovery—eliminating dining out, sticking to steak/chicken/eggs/broccoli, and walking 10,000 steps a day.
  • Adds: “Walking for an hour, putting on Seinfeld or Simpsons... then just live my life.” (56:48)
  • Never obsessed over scales or numbers—focused on consistency and not letting food become a mental struggle.
• Still keeps food simple at home: “I’m a meat and potatoes guy... I’m boring at home.” (43:55–44:33)

---

6. Creativity, Entrepreneurship & Super Athletic Film Co.

• Super Athletic Film Company reflects his move to collaborative creative ventures:
  • “I want to help people make stuff... I like being creative and enabling, platforming people.” (32:22)
  • Compares difficulty of opening restaurants vs. bringing a TV show to life. Asserts TV is harder due to relentless gatekeeping: “Getting a show made or a movie made, I think, is way harder... But I also like, you could do indie.” (36:41–37:33)
• Matty sees himself as a “cereal, I don’t care and I’m gonna do it” entrepreneur, investing time and money into what he loves without overthinking returns. (38:31)
• Recommends new creatives just “make your art... go make something... get five friends, go make something.” (40:28)

---

7. Food, Cooking Videos & Restaurant Philosophy

Cooking Hits & Home Realities [41:23–45:11]

• The most recreated Just a Dash recipe is “Get You Laid Lasagna.” First cooking videos “still the ones people mention most.”
  • Quote: “The amount of being like, that lasagna got me laid. I’m married to that woman now.” (41:49)
• Home cooking is simple—kids only want “soft steak,” chicken nuggets, or simple pastas.
• At parties, Matty loves grilling “Salin’s hot dogs from Buffalo,” char dogs, and Korean-style short ribs. (45:20–45:53)
• Discusses condiments—pro-ketchup, especially as a Canadian (“ketchup on breakfast is a huge thing”). (46:23–47:13)

---

8. Style, Suits & Big Guy Representation

On Fashion & Influencing [76:13–80:48]

• Matty's “suit era” (with Harry Rosen tailoring) coincides with his role on The Bear and red carpet appearances.
• Admires the confidence and tailoring for larger bodies: “Big boys can wear nice stuff too... tailored stuff too.”
• “Best dressed 300-pounder in the world,” with pride in how he’s inspired other bigger guys.
  • Quote: “If you’re fat and you got style, it’s because of me, you loser. I’m number one. I’m the best.” (103:05)

---

9. Money, Fame, and Staying Grounded

• Despite “Toy Story 5” and Emmy wins, Matty remains frugal with select “splurge” moments, e.g. regretting $4,200 cowboy boots (“every time I take them, I’m kind of, like, mad at them”) (96:53) and “five pairs of Removas” despite knowing the suitcases are “trash cans.” (99:38)
• Admits to wearing the same underwear for days, espousing humility and hanging onto the “pain cage” mentality from his broke years.
• On celebrity: “I don’t really see my job as my job. I go do it... People are so obsessed with fame... I don’t think of that as anything.” (87:24–87:47)

---

10. Viral Food, Hype Culture, and the Restaurant Business

• He critiques hype lines and food virality, preferring “slow burn” and reliable community spots over transient Instagram fame.
• Doesn’t seek an “empire” like some imagine: “People think I have this, like, empire... I don’t want empire... If I had an empire, I’d get a paycheck from the business, maybe.” (69:32–70:07)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On style and authenticity: “You’re looking. I’m living. I don’t know. I don’t look back.” (06:06)

On “The Bear”’s emotional ending: “Five years of her life... What an incredible ride... Loved and hated. Perfect. If you’re in the middle you’re dog shit.” (13:00–13:42)

On acting process: “They just wanted my voice... ‘I don’t even read. I just pull up and read some method voice acting.’” (21:41)

[Matty Matheson]

But try not to think about it. Like, try to think about, like. I think I always. Like. I'm like, it's. I feel Chris is very good at this. Put the blinders on and just go. We write the story that we want. Don't play to the crowd. Obviously, we don't do that, really, honestly. But it is a. Just finish the way that the story feels, you know, like, Chris.

[Matty Matheson]

I think so. A lot of people. Or people will be like, oh, you're. You're so nice. Like, you're so things. I'm like, okay. Or like, the truly, the greatest is when they do an impersonation of you. Have you had people on that? Like.

Like, it's just like. I'm like, bro, we are in public. There are people that don't know what's happening. But there's. There's. There's even, like, recently, like, my band was playing this show, and. And there was a guy in line, and he had this poster of me, and he starts, like, yelling lines from the shows. And I'm like, I. I'm like. Sometimes they say. I'm like, I don't even know what you're talking about. I don't watch me. I don't. I. I go in. I black walk away. I. I block. Shoot this. I shot that six months ago. I don't even know what the you're talking about. I don't know what I cooked. I don't remember anything. And they're so excited, and it's amazing. But I, like, I went up to the guy, and I was just like, hey, man. Like. Like, we're good. Like, you don't have to do that. Like, let's take a photo if you want. Whatever. But it is just, like, a thing where I'm like, I think people just. But I'm also like, I understand that people are stoked. I understand that people are. They love it out. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And I was just like, whoa. And it feels like, you know, I've had restaurants closed. I've had things open. Like, I understand, like, wins and losses, but it's crazy to have, like, a win and it still goes away.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

You know, like a real. Like, it is this crazy thing where you're like, but it is. It. It's the last day. It's sad. Like, it was. No, I'm not. I'm broken. I. I can't.

[Podcast Host 1]

You can't.

[Matty Matheson]

I've spoken about this before, but I've been.

[Podcast Host 1]

A long time ago.

[Matty Matheson]

[Podcast Host 2]

Oh, wow.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, we finished shooting. Ended, like, February, first week of March. But, like, I. Yeah, I was sad for a month. I was. I. It was like this thing that, like. And I was, like, checking in with my guys and being like, yo. And I'm like. Like, I even saw, like, Evan just came over to the hotel for, like, an hour. We just chilled and, like, it goes like. Everyone's like, I love everyone so much. And it's just like, the. That's the thing is, like, our friendships get to all the cliches, you know, we get friends for life. Beautiful thing. Our lives literally changed from this thing, you know? What an incredible ride. Yeah. Like, it's like we never thought it was going to be what it was. It turned into what it was, and now we go away. Loved and hated. Perfect. Like, I think I'm so stoked on the people that hate us. I'm stoked on the people that love us. It's incredible if you're in the middle your dog shit. So it's just, like, people think our show's the worst.

[Podcast Host 1]

Perfect.

[Matty Matheson]

Thank you so much.

[Podcast Host 1]

So, I don't know. What, are you nostalgic? Like, what's the. Were you thinking about, like, what's the one Memory that you hold on forever from, like the five plus years that you put into this thing.

[Matty Matheson]

Just smoking cigs, you know, like, I don't know, just like, I think it's just playing dice. Like, it's all the things in between making the show so fun. Like, also, like, truly, I think the opportunity to go and do this and then, like, have everyone care so much and then have everyone be a part of it and then, like, give me this thing that, like, I'm like, it's just like I'm working with all these amazing actors. They've given me so much just an acting. I mean, I don't think I'm ever going to be a great actor. I don't want to be a great actor. I don't want anything but just doing something you've never done before and having just the openness of everyone around you and the givingness and like, everyone just being like, everyone's just like dogs. That when we all love each other and it's just like, here we go. Like, let's like. Maddie, Maddie, have you ever thought about, like, your, like, Like, I remember season Eben was like, have you ever, like, thought about, like, fact or like, you're still just trying to spit out lines? Like, you know, have you ever thought about who he is, where he is in his family? He, you know, you got like, what, five, six, seven, eight, nine siblings. Where. Where did what. Obviously Neil's somewhere where he's an incredible people pleaser. He's an incredible, like, support person who wants everyone to win. He wants everyone to be happy. He seems to be never really defeated, but he's also like. He is a little sad boy at times. He wants to overcome his. His thing. I never thought about that. I never. I never thought about character. I just like, trying to spit out lines.

[Podcast Host 1]

Remember the line who was the most generous with their cigarettes on set?

[Matty Matheson]

The bazooka. They got the bazooka on. And me and my brothers. Well, I have an older. I always feel bad when I talk about my brothers because we're all, like, two years apart.

Because he used to get blackout drunk on Black Velvet. It's not even like Bee, like Beavis and Butthead. It was more like bv. So people used to call him bv. And then it just turned into kind of like Beef and Grizz. And then Grizz is. He's. He's the youngest brother, but he's, like, tall and always just been big.

You do that again, I'll never get you another thing ever. I'm like, I. I need to have some type of, like. Is this, like, I love you. I'm not genuinely. I'm not even upset with you. You can do whatever you want to do, but here's just the repercussion.

[Podcast Host 3]

Right?

[Podcast Host 1]

Did it.

[Podcast Host 2]

Consequences.

[Podcast Host 1]

Did he get it?

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, I think so. I mean, I'm just like. He was just like. He was still kind of in it. So I just like.

[Ad Host]

Like.

[Matty Matheson]

And then I left that night, actually, to leave for, you know, a month. So I was just like, yeah. And then I'm like, see a Trish?

[Podcast Host 1]

But the.

[Matty Matheson]

The. The.

[Podcast Host 2]

He.

[Matty Matheson]

He, like, now he's just messaging me from his sister's iPad. But he sent me a thing. He was like, dad, this is my dream baseball glove. And I'm like. Because I get all of his stuff just on ebay. Because I'm just like, it's a. They're worked in already. And they're 40 bucks versus 300. Baseball clubs are like, 300 bucks. And I was just like. He's like, this is my. I'm like, first off, that's baby blue. I was just like, that's great, but we're not getting you a baby blue baseball glove, my dog. So I was just like, colors. I was like, does that come in a different color? And, like, also, like, what's going on? I was just like, you have gloves. Your gloves are good.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

You are good baseball player. The glove doesn't make you a better baseball player. Like, I was just like. And he's just like, no, I just, like, love this one. I was just like, yeah, it'll pass. It'll pass. You loving that? Well, I'm a huge void filler. Huge. Getting stuff to make me feel. I was just like, don't worry, buddy. You'll be fine.

[Podcast Host 2]

You're fair.

[Podcast Host 1]

The void will still be there.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah. Don't worry. The void never ain't going nowhere.

[Podcast Host 2]

Trust me. This is gonna stick with you for quite a while, buddy.

[Podcast Host 1]

It seems like you've. You are a void filler, but you're also, like, not just with stuff, but with doing stuff.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Your latest venture, you're launching a production company, Super Athletic Film Company.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

What do you want to do behind the camera?

[Matty Matheson]

I want to make. I want to make people be. I want to help people make stuff. I'm like, that's what I love doing. That's what I. I've seen. I have found out what I really love doing. It's not restaurants, it's not clothing. It's not whatever I'm doing. I really like working with people. I like being creative and, like, enabling, platforming people. Yeah. Like, it's just like, Keenan wants to farm. Let's farm. How do we figure that out? I. I want to. I want a clothing company. How do we. We genuinely make clothes? How do we feed people?

[Podcast Host 2]

Right.

[Matty Matheson]

I like restaurants. How do we do that? I don't physically go and put on the chef whites and get in there and start banging around pots and pans. That's not what I'm good at. I'm relatively good at cooking.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

I'm very good. Like, strengths and weaknesses. Like, I'm very good at seeing if somebody's actually going to be good at something and believing in them and then getting people to believe in me and believing in them.

[Podcast Host 3]

Wow.

[Matty Matheson]

And so it's just like, I want to make movies. I also want to make stuff. I like making stuff. Making the bear changed My life.

[Podcast Host 1]

What do you want to make?

[Matty Matheson]

I want to make. I. We're working on like some TV stuff. We're working on some movie stuff. We're just working on stuff. We're just like getting our ducks in a row. Like everybody, you know, like, it is a thing. It's just like, it's a lot of homework. It's a lot of work. And so I'm just getting like outlines done. I'm getting scripts done. I'm working on like, I'm working on like writing my first script.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh.

[Matty Matheson]

So it's just like, there's things that I'm like trying to push. I'm like, oh, yeah, I've written a cookbook. I've written this. I could write a script. I under, like, how hard could it be? Yeah, how hard could anything. But that's the thing. It's like, I'm not. I don't think it's belittling to try. That's the thing is like, I'm willing to try. I'm willing to get people together. I'm willing to do that. And so I think super athletic is one of those things that is, that's it. Like, it's just like, I want a team. I like team.

[Podcast Host 1]

The first time, the first time we podcast with you In I think 2020, we were expecting to talk about food.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

And like tv. And you're like, oh, I'm working on TV show. And we're like, what?

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Excuse me.

[Matty Matheson]

The bear.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Ad Host]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Wow. Who could have, who could have like, seen it? Like, it's crazy. Look at.

[Matty Matheson]

It is crazy. But I think that that's the thing is like, that is that once in a lifetime moment. And I've had, I don't think I've had many things like the bear, but it's also like, you never know what it's going to be.

[Podcast Host 1]

Do you think people do. The general philosophy or sensor attitude is like trying.

[Matty Matheson]

I think so. That's why I think a lot of people complain.

[Podcast Host 2]

Sure, it's easier to complain.

[Matty Matheson]

I've never there people doing stuff aren't really complaining about doing stuff. They're complaining about how hard it is. It's hard, but they're doing. If anybody's ever actually ran something, it's hard. This isn't easy, but you do it.

[Podcast Host 1]

What's hard?

[Podcast Host 3]

You can't.

[Matty Matheson]

Like, it is like a thing that's just like. I don't know like what is harder though?

[Podcast Host 1]

Opening a restaurant and keeping it open or bringing a TV show to life.

[Matty Matheson]

I honestly, I Think you could open a restaurant? Relatively easy.

[Podcast Host 2]

Really?

[Matty Matheson]

And. Well, yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

And keep it open though.

[Matty Matheson]

I've opened. Well, keeping it open is hard. You ever get a meeting? How hard is it to get a meeting?

[Podcast Host 1]

Pretty.

[Matty Matheson]

Just get a show.

[Podcast Host 2]

Oh, no, wait, what's the answer? Is it difficult or is it easy?

[Matty Matheson]

No, no, I'm saying it's difficult.

[Podcast Host 2]

Okay. Okay, good.

[Podcast Host 1]

Like just to get in the room.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Well, how many shows are on tv? How many restaurants are there? How many, how many, how many things? Like, I'm just like, I've opened a restaurant for 100 grand. I've opened a restaurant for a couple million dollars. It's. It's like you can figure out how to do something also. Like making, getting something green lit then getting it like on air, even getting it greenlit doesn't mean it's going on air.

[Podcast Host 2]

True.

[Matty Matheson]

Like it's, it is very insane.

[Podcast Host 1]

There's a lot more gates to pass through.

[Matty Matheson]

It is with a show. Until it's on air, it ain't real.

[Podcast Host 2]

Right.

[Matty Matheson]

Until somebody's looking at it is not real at all. And so it, it's like Brunson, you know what's to celebrate? We ain't done.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

You know, jobs not finished. Yeah, job finished. It's like, be happy about jobs not finished. Like with tv, it's like we're opening a restaurant is you open a restaurant. Incredible experience. The creativeness, the hardships of opening a restaurant. Insane. Also insane. Very difficult. Not a lot of people can do it. Genuinely and very difficult. But then you open, you're like, oh, wait, I got a 10 year lease. I have a five year lease. I have a 15 year lease. Okay, cool, cool. Let's keep going.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And then now the hard part. But now it's monotonous. Even having fun, even winning, it is monotonous. It's doing something every single day job. It's being consistent. It is A J, O, B. Everybody together to do that job every day. Keeping the morale high, keeping it exciting. Where even TV shows, it's like, oh, it's two months and then I get to go to. Then I get to go to Italy for three weeks. Then I get to go do this other thing and then I get to go do this other thing and then I'm doing these other things and I'm just like, like getting something over the, the cross line. I. Getting a show made or a movie made, I think is way harder to do that than make a, a movie or make a restaurant. But I also like, you could do indie like that's the thing is like that, that is the thing that broke my brain with all of this stuff and why I started. Truly, why? I was just like, why don't all these rich people make movies? You know? Like, why?

[Podcast Host 2]

Why?

[Matty Matheson]

Like, I was just like, why don't you guys just pay for your. I was just like, oh, for 100 grand you could make, make a 30 minute short film that employs 40, 50 people. That's cool. Like, and so then I was just like, oh, like, you can shoot, you could shoot a movie for nothing on your iPhone. You can do, you can do a lot. You can make movies, you can make things not content. Like, you can make beautiful, artistic things.

[Podcast Host 2]

There's a difference for you.

[Matty Matheson]

But I think being on like television, there's very different worlds too.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, right.

[Matty Matheson]

But I think it is a. Like, like I just like, oh, wait. And then, and then I, I was just like, oh, I'll just like, I'll put money into this. Oh, I'll put money into that. I'll put. I believe in these people.

[Podcast Host 1]

And now why don't I start a company that does this?

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Ad Host]

Huh?

[Matty Matheson]

Well, yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Super athletic.

[Matty Matheson]

A super athletic company. But then that was the thing where I was just like, oh, I've dumped money into a lot of my things. I, you know, it's like Rosa Vergosa, my restaurants, like, all this. I've dumped all of my money into my projects.

[Podcast Host 2]

Are you a serial entrepreneur?

[Matty Matheson]

I. No, I'm, I'm a, I'm a cereal. I don't care and I'm gonna do it.

[Podcast Host 1]

You're investing in cereal?

[Matty Matheson]

Like I'm. I would.

[Podcast Host 2]

Michelle.

[Matty Matheson]

It's just like. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

How many projects have you been, like filming film and tv. Have you been a part of that? Haven't seen the light of day. And then also now that you are an Emmy award winning producer and a part of like a very important show, are you now? Are those meetings easier to get and you're like getting closer to the finish line every time you try Meetings?

[Matty Matheson]

Yes, I can. Yeah. Meetings.

[Ad Host]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Don't walk around, bro. What's up? Just walk around la. What's up, dog?

[Podcast Host 2]

Every. Every interaction is a meeting.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah. Yeah. Nothing. Nobody cares. Nobody. Nobody cares about anything. It's all it is. You can make the art. The. The thing is, is, like, go make your art and try, like, just a dash. First thing I said when I met, like, Ted Sarandis, I came in here seven years ago. You could have had this way cheaper, you know? Like, I was just like, dog. And I was just like, what do you say that? He was just like, that's like. He. He was just laughing, right? You know, And I was just like, dude, like, I was here seven years ago, man.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And he was just like, yeah, well, you had to go figure it out. And I was just like, very father.

[Podcast Host 1]

You had to figure it out.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah. He was just like, sure. We didn't know who you were.

[Podcast Host 2]

Right?

[Matty Matheson]

Go figure it out. Now you got some value. Now you got some. Now you got this doctor nut case over here.

[Podcast Host 1]

He's got some views on YouTube.

[Matty Matheson]

But it was like. But also, I learned how to make stuff.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Me and my friends went and made something. We built a little world. We had control. I still have control. I still own the ip, you know, like, it's just like a licensing deal thing, but it is like a thing where it's like, go do it.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Get. Get five friends. Go make something. And then that. But that's the thing is, like, I just want to use them, and I use that Mentelli with anything. Like, be like, oh, yeah, I'll figure that out. And that's it. Like, I'm just like, I want to figure things out. I want to do stuff. And I just keep doing that.

[Ad Host]

That.

[Matty Matheson]

Like, it isn't.

[Podcast Host 1]

With the right people.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, with the right people. Yeah. You need smart people. You. If you're the smartest person in the room, good luck.

[Podcast Host 2]

Get out of that room in the wrong room.

[Matty Matheson]

Or. Or just be the smartest person in the room. That's a nice job, too. But it's like, that's not. As a creative.

[Podcast Host 1]

By myself.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, I'm completely by myself.

[Podcast Host 1]

I got lost in the closet again.

[Podcast Host 2]

Smart.

[Matty Matheson]

I'm so smart. But it is like, yeah, Like, I. I love. I'm like, this is what I'm good at. This is what I. This is what I think. What do you think? What do you want to do? What can you do with that? Can you take that and turn that into something? Can you help yourself? What's your job as a person? Your job is this. Okay, My job, Like, what. What goes on? How do we do this? What do we do?

[Podcast Host 1]

What's the Just a dash dish that has been the biggest hit that people really try to replicate?

[Matty Matheson]

I don't know.

[Podcast Host 2]

Oh, come on. There's not a banger all time.

[Matty Matheson]

See, out of all. See, I look at everything just like the thing that people just in general of all of my cooking videos is. Is get you laid lasagna. The OGs.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

I still think the. The.

[Podcast Host 1]

That's like season two.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

No, no, no. This is like my second video I ever made.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, okay.

[Matty Matheson]

This is literally like my. I. I still say, like, my first three, four videos are the ones that people genuinely come up and say the most things about. Well, the amount of being like, that lasagna got me laid. I'm married to that woman now. Or I married. I married that guy. I made that and that guy.

[Podcast Host 2]

And I married to Garfield.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

That lasagna got me herpes.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah. I got hur. Like, I hope you before you ate that lasagna. After that lasagna. You ain't after that lasagna. If you eat that. If you eat the lasagna that you're making that I made, there's no.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's like a tuna melt.

[Matty Matheson]

It's like walking tuna.

[Podcast Host 1]

What are the other dishes that.

[Matty Matheson]

That's like, when you. You're like, I'm sorry. That's a. I'm sorry.

[Podcast Host 2]

Hand up. That's on me.

[Matty Matheson]

Hey, that's me. That's on me.

[Podcast Host 2]

[Matty Matheson]

You didn't get there. No. You didn't get the middle. That's on me. That's on me. That's on me. I wish we got there together. I always do. I always get there. I always do.

[Podcast Host 1]

Can't hit food column mid set. Mid, mid smash.

[Podcast Host 2]

Nice, guys.

[Podcast Host 1]

What are the other dishes that people really come up and they're like, Maddie, like, this.

[Podcast Host 2]

This has been.

[Podcast Host 1]

Changed my life.

[Matty Matheson]

I don't even know. It's more about, like, the. They're like, that was so crazy. I think the, like, the Arby's episode on, like, just a dash is crazy. Like, the beef thing also, like, the. I make that, like, crazy. I don't see. I. I don't remember stuff.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

But I'm like the. Like the soup. I make a soup episode, like, where I make, like, this big crazy, like, consummate, and I ruin it. And it legitimately. It took me eight hours to, like, fix. And I'm just, like, so sad. Like, everyone's always coming, like, was that real? I'm like, everything's real. Because I'm like, we don't have switch outs. We don't have food. If I fuck something up, I have to recook it.

[Podcast Host 1]

You can only afford one grocery trip.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, well, no, we want it to be. We want the fear to be real.

[Podcast Host 2]

Right?

[Matty Matheson]

That's what makes real life. That's why just a dash is so good. Is like, everything's real. Like, cooking on the RV is real cooking, doing all the things that we did is real. So it's just like. I think people just come up and ask more questions about it and, like, as always, ask me more about, like, Michelle. They're like, yeah, Michelle. Than you. Like, really bad. I'm like, yeah, I've known Michelle for, like, 20 years. Like, yeah, she's my sister.

[Podcast Host 2]

Here's a loaded question. Is there a recipe or maybe something that you make at home that is so unhinged you would never, like, publicly disclose how it is produced or you would recommend it?

[Matty Matheson]

We're already talking about tuna melts, but I think, like, I love, like, a white cheddar Mac and cheese with, like, a can of tuna in it baked with some panko breadcrumbs on top of. Just, like, disgusting. And I eat half of it, and then I put, like, ketchup on a little bit of it. And I'm like, sometimes if I want it really rich, I'll put, like, confit, like, some diced onion and butter. Like, put that in there. But I'm like, I don't know most. I am. I'm a meat and potatoes guy. Also, like, with the farm, it's just like, we're just like, go grab some lettuce. Like, just salad and steaks. I'm boring. I'm bo. I'm more boring at home than anything. Like, but also, like, we can just do, like. Like. Like, I love just making, like, simple pastas and, like, just, like, eat. Like, I'm not sport eating.

[Podcast Host 1]

Right.

[Matty Matheson]

I'm definitely not making Instagrammable food.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's cooking at home for yourself.

[Matty Matheson]

That's like, me cooking at home. I'm like, that's not me. Like, not trying to perform for anything. My kids want chicken nuggets. They hate everything I make. My. My. They only want to eat beef tenderloin because it's. Everything else is gross. So then I'm just like, tenderloin. They only want. They call. They call it soft steak. They want soft steak.

[Podcast Host 2]

Steak.

[Matty Matheson]

I'm like, soft steak is expensive.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Soft spay. And I'm like, you only want soft steak? And they're like, we want daddy's soft steak.

[Podcast Host 1]

Daddy's on a licensing deal.

[Podcast Host 2]

Daddy's soft steak. Yo.

[Matty Matheson]

A couple more commercial stuff.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, a few more super bowl commercials.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yep.

[Podcast Host 1]

We are dropping this episode right around July 4th. What do you. When you're on the grill and you're hosting a big party, what do you like to do when you're on the grill? When you're on the sticks, you're in charge.

[Matty Matheson]

Never. I'd like to not ever be in control on the stick.

[Podcast Host 1]

Really?

[Matty Matheson]

You.

[Podcast Host 1]

You're like, I. This is my job.

[Matty Matheson]

But if I was I. Salin's hot dogs. Salin's hot dogs from Buffalo, which lend themselves. They're like known for being like, they're a char grilled dog.

[Podcast Host 1]

Okay.

[Matty Matheson]

Snappy, you know, like a snappy char girl dog Sailings is like my. Besides like Chicago dogs now that I'm like in love with Chicago dogs. But like, yeah, the. Yeah, like that I would always have that. I love like, like, like sliced like Miami ribs, you know, like Korean style fucking ribs. Thin short ribs.

[Podcast Host 1]

Steve, back to the dogs. How do you like to dress your dogs?

[Matty Matheson]

Personally, Personally. Mustard, onion, sports peppers. And now I've trans. But. But it depends on the dog too.

[Podcast Host 2]

Sure.

[Matty Matheson]

Sometimes I'll just like just a straight Chicago dog with everything on it. Even though I hate the relish and the tomato, I don't like, I don't like the relish in the tomato.

[Podcast Host 1]

The color of the relish is so off putting.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, tomatoes can kick rocks for sure.

[Matty Matheson]

Relish itself. Unless, like there's already a giant grape pickle on it. But also, like, when I eat Chicago dogs, I do only like onion mustard in like sports peppers.

[Podcast Host 2]

Is ketchup on a dog valid? Yay or nay?

[Matty Matheson]

I think it's. I have definitely whole life ketchup guy. Right.

[Podcast Host 1]

Put on your Mac and cheese and fish.

[Podcast Host 2]

Tuna.

[Matty Matheson]

Tuna, Mac, grill cheese with ketchup. You know, like, it's like we love. And as a Canadian, like, it is

[Podcast Host 1]

like, yeah, you got tomato, potato chips.

[Matty Matheson]

Ketchup chips are unreal. But it also is just like, like, you guys, I feel like we smother like our like bacon, eggs, home fries, breakfast. Like, as Canadians, I feel a lot of Canadians drench that. Like, because we're not hot sauce. We're like, we're weak. Where England has brown sauce. I feel like we legitimately like ketchup on breakfast is a huge thing. I like smash it and I love it. I'm just like, I don't give a but. Yeah. On regular dogs, like, if I'm at home, it's. It is like sometimes I'll do ketchup, but sometimes like, like, because Like, I don't. I can't get Viennas. So I'm like, when I eat it, it's like the whole thing. It's like when you. When you're in Philly, you want to eat a certain way. When you're in New York, you want to eat a certain way. So it is like a certain. Like, every hot dog is not the same. Every. Every dog is not the same. So it's just like, like with char, with the sailings. I love sailings. Like with. With mustard and ketchup and onion and hot peppers on it and a bunch of stuff, you know, delicious. Like, you know, our. Our dog's world in Toronto is like, you know, everyone's got this like, corn relish. And like, it is a very, like, corn relish. Like a Caribbean thing maybe, I think possibly. But it is like every, like every hot dog stand in Toronto has, like, this, like, corn relish.

[Podcast Host 2]

What is corn relish? Can you explain this to me? Like, it's just.

[Matty Matheson]

It's like, almost like a. It's got like red pepper in it. Like, it's like a red salad. Yeah, it's like a liquidy.

[Podcast Host 2]

Throw that on a hot dog.

[Matty Matheson]

So it's like over £80. It's just like. The thing is, if we want to get into it. Yeah. So, you know, be. I've been a big guy my whole life, but then I got really big when I got clean. Mean.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Because when I got. When I got sober, all of a sudden was the exact same time I started just like traveling the world non stop and like doing dead set on life. Traveling, flying, eating at three restaurants a day, eating at three restaurants a day, eating at, like, sport eating. And I just. My whole thing was this thing. I'd go. Also, I was still in like full, like chef mode. So I'd pull up at a restaurant and everyone sends you the whole menu.

[Podcast Host 2]

Right, Right.

[Matty Matheson]

Kill you. They try to kill you. They try to kill you.

[Podcast Host 1]

What's up with that?

[Matty Matheson]

That. It's just like big dick. Like, I think it is just like chefs come in and they're like, they want you to have the whole thing and they try to just like. I don't think it happens now so much, but like my generation, like, if you pulled up to a restaurant and you just, you. You're doing off menu from the kitchen.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's a steak. Yeah, it's a lobster.

[Matty Matheson]

It's a lobster. It's just like, whatever. But it's. But then I was just like.

[Podcast Host 1]

Were you also feeding for sugar? Because you were like, off the sauce.

[Matty Matheson]

I'm just like a. Yeah, I'm a chocolate boy. I'll like dummy a Snickers, you know, Mars bar, whatever. Like, I'm just like at the airport. Like all I eat at the airport.

[Podcast Host 2]

Nat.

[Matty Matheson]

Well, now I'm down. I'll just suck on those, like, bagged eggs and beef jerky.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

So I'm just like water, beef jerky and eggs at airports now, but it is a macros. Like I don't eat anything on planes. I don't do anything like that.

[Podcast Host 1]

What's the one, what's the one snack you can't stop munching on? You can't give it up.

[Matty Matheson]

I feel like those like big, giant seedless grapes. Like those things. Yeah, I'm not a chip sky.

[Podcast Host 2]

Really?

[Matty Matheson]

No, I'm not like an all dressed. Oh, no, you don't eat chips. Like, I never eat chips.

[Podcast Host 2]

Never eat chips.

[Matty Matheson]

Never buy a bag of chips in my life.

[Podcast Host 1]

Good for you.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah. Like, not a chips guy. Like, not people that sit in offices. And like, I honestly think also just being in a kitchen, like, you never eat chips.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Like, you're never eating stuff like that. So I think I always worked a job where you could like, like, nosh, you know, or whatever, but I was just like, never chip guy. Also, I think growing up, the way we, I grew up was like, we didn't have snacks.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Too. Which is funny because I'm like, grew up, like, super religious, no snacks and all this. I'm like, we're all just drug addicts. We're just like, I'm fat as. I'm just like, oh, gosh, you guys killed it if you do.

[Podcast Host 2]

Damn.

[Matty Matheson]

That's why I'm always like, with my kids. I'm like, I don't know. I was brought up where, like, I couldn't even watch, like, Simpsons. It was too crazy, you know? And I'm like, like, all of us are psychopaths.

[Ad Host]

[Matty Matheson]

And so I had to Dr. I had to change my. So I treated it like, like, like AA and the na. Okay.

[Ad Host]

[Matty Matheson]

So I, I was just like. And because I travel all the time, I'm being told what to do all the time, you know, Like, I would get my itinerary every single day. And I'm like, this is what I'm doing. I don't have a lot of choices, really, to do in my day. And my shit's spread. I'm never anywhere long. I have no routine. It's crazy. So I was just like, I need to build something I need. So when I was done was after I got home from Orlando, we went to Disney World as a family. We came home, and I just spent a week eating, like, raising canes. And I was, you know, like, I was just like, I'm done. I'm done.

[Podcast Host 2]

Like, throwing money at the problem.

[Matty Matheson]

Kind of. Yes and no. Like, just like, like structure.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Like, okay, I need a trip. But then I'm like, on the road. I'm gonna. Okay, I'm gonna set my iPad. And then I was just like, oh. I'm like, I don't have an iPad. I don't have a laptop.

[Podcast Host 1]

My son broke it.

[Matty Matheson]

I don't have anything. Like, I'm like, I don't know. I barely have a phone, but it is a. So I was just like, I have to just eat better. So I stopped going to restaurants. I stopped eating, and I only ate chicken, steak, broccoli, and, like, eggs. And I did that for three months.

[Podcast Host 1]

I remember seeing, I think you. I just Seeing how many eggs you were eating, and I was like, damn, that's hot eggs.

[Matty Matheson]

But I couldn't even post how many eggs I was at because it was unhinged.

[Podcast Host 2]

The real amount.

[Matty Matheson]

Two years of every single morning, I'd eat four or five eggs. And how do you prep them different? Because I'm. I Now I'm like, I kind of. I'm.

[Podcast Host 2]

You're egged out.

[Matty Matheson]

I. I. Boilers was my whole thing forever.

[Podcast Host 1]

And then I was like, Then I'm, like, eating butter and doing all this other stuff, and I was like, ah. And I was like, I don't give a. And then. But that's the thing, the indifference, saying, I don't give a.

[Podcast Host 2]

[Podcast Host 1]

Eating disorder.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah. Like, no, but that's the thing too, is I never want to get mad at it. Because if I get mad at it, then indifference and then indifference turns into it and it turns into being a psycho.

[Podcast Host 1]

You want the line? You get the line. The line's gone. Who gives a. It is a thing. It's just like, I'd rather just like a slow burn and just like does

[Podcast Host 1]

the line can you up where you're like, oh, we gotta order and prepare.

[Matty Matheson]

People are gonna try to come. If you can't get in three times that person says you right?

[Podcast Host 2]

They hate you.

[Matty Matheson]

They hate you. The place is trash. And then they just say the place is trash. They don't say it's good. They don't know if it's good. Right? They say it's trash.

[Podcast Host 2]

They don't even care because they can't get it.

[Matty Matheson]

So I can't get it. And it's trash. That's the thing. And it's just like. And that's kind of crazy to too. And I don't think that's nice, but it is, whatever.

[Podcast Host 1]

Is there a way to combat lines? You don't want to be a place that has lines.

[Podcast Host 2]

What do you do?

[Matty Matheson]

Don't post about it. Don't do it. I don't know. I don't know. Don't feed the beast at all. I don't know. Like it is like a thing where I'm like, I tried to like I opened a restaurant and I legitimately, I was just like, let's just only put up black and white photos, no captions Nothing.

[Podcast Host 1]

What restaurant?

[Matty Matheson]

That restaurant closed.

[Podcast Host 2]

You tried?

[Matty Matheson]

I tried. I tried. I tried to just be like, can we just go back? Back? No reels, no nothing. Just. Can we just have a moment where something can just be and have a neighborhood spot? And it's just like, yeah, you got

[Podcast Host 1]

to pay the tick tockers.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

No, well, I'm not about that either.

[Podcast Host 1]

No, not. Not you, I'm saying.

[Matty Matheson]

But. But I think. Yeah. I don't know. I think that's a. That's the saddest thing ever. I think it. It is a. I don't know, but I'm very aware of, like, my genuine, like, I have been, like, truly, like, my privilege of being, like, I've been on a wave since I was 26 in the restaurant world, and now I've reached a point with, like, the bear and things where people now are being like, we're good on, like, you know, and that's okay, too, because I'm like, I believe in my restaurants. I believe in the consistency. I believe in the staff. I believe in everything that we've built. And so it is one of those things where I'm like, I'm. Now. I think I've moved past the hype, hype, hype. Shit.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And it's just, like. It's. It's almost, like, freeing. And it's. It is that thing where I'm like, I just want to be a regular restaurant. I just want my burger shop to be there. I don't really want to open up 20 of them.

[Podcast Host 2]

Right.

[Matty Matheson]

People think I have this, like, everyone's just like, oh, Maddie Madison has this like. Like, there was all this stuff about, like, empire, and I was just like, I don't want empire.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Why are you saying empire? I have four restaurants and, like, six pizzerias. That pizzerias is a completely separate thing kind of thing. Yeah. And I'm just. Just like. I got a couple restaurants. I know a bunch of people over here that are amazing chefs that are doing the same thing as I am. You don't have to call my an empire. I don't want an empire. And I. I remember I told this dude on, like, Live T. I was like, it ain't an empire if I. If an empire. If I had an empire, I'd get a paycheck from the business, maybe.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

If I had an empire, be signs.

[Ad Host]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

I wouldn't be on live tv. I'd be chilling.

[Matty Matheson]

I'd have a backer.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

I'd have jeans with no holes in Them.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Shirts with sleeves.

[Matty Matheson]

I'd shower more, you know, Like, I'm like, I don'. I don't know, man.

[Podcast Host 1]

Did you low key do Prime Seafood palace out of. I don't know if spite's right word. But it's like, to like. Yo, look, I. I can do something more, you know, not fine dining, but, like, more elevated than just like, burgers and pizza and.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, but.

[Podcast Host 3]

But that.

[Matty Matheson]

So 100%. But prime seafood palace was. Because that was supposed to be my only restaurant. It just took so long to open and a pandemic happened and I had to.

[Podcast Host 1]

A lot of wood.

[Podcast Host 2]

A lot of wood in there.

[Matty Matheson]

You know, the plan. Demic. The reset. The Great reset.

[Podcast Host 1]

The bandemic.

[Podcast Host 2]

The.

[Matty Matheson]

And I didn't. Yeah. And so, like, I started just. I got to a place where I had to, like, serve food. I had to make food in parking lots. I had to do stuff because I didn't have a job.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And so, like, I was like. Like, as we were building Prime Seafood palace took almost six years to build.

[Podcast Host 1]

Jesus Christ.

[Matty Matheson]

And so it's like.

[Podcast Host 1]

But still easier than a TV show.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah. I wouldn't be able to start.

[Podcast Host 1]

Right.

[Matty Matheson]

Like, that's the thing is, like, to get a tv. Like, honestly, some. Yeah. People have been working on stuff for years on everything. Like, it is the. From the first meeting and the first ideation to opening. Yeah. People wait years for stuff.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

But I think privacy for palace was. I was. I left all my restaurants when I was like, 31. Right. I left parts and labor and every P L burger, P and L catering, all my. I was like, I'm out. And then I went and. And did, like, dead set on life and did it's supper time and. And did just a dash and, like, went and did all that.

[Podcast Host 2]

Had your arcs for sure.

[Matty Matheson]

And I want it. Seven years of, like, not having a restaurant and I was traveling the world and I was just like, what. What am I doing?

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

I don't have. Also I'm traveling the world. Everyone I. Walking around. Everyone's. Chef, what's going on? Chef going on. And it kind of eats at you. And I was like, I feel like a poser. I actually feel like a poser. And I was just like, oh, I'm. I need. I need. I want something now.

[Podcast Host 2]

Get back on the st. Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And so, like, Prime Seafood palace was going to be like, my one fun. This is my. Right. You come to Toronto, right? You want to go to Matty Matheson restaurant? Here's my. This is mine.

[Podcast Host 2]

You're gonna be in the kitchen. Like, you're gonna be there.

[Matty Matheson]

No, it was never that, because I. I still never want. I don't want to be a chef.

[Podcast Host 2]

Okay.

[Matty Matheson]

I don't want to be a chef.

[Podcast Host 1]

But if people are calling you chef, you need something to stand still.

[Matty Matheson]

Like, my cooks don't have to call me chef. They can call me Maddie. Like, I don't care. It's like, doctor. Yeah, Doc. Doctor.

[Podcast Host 2]

We.

[Podcast Host 1]

Doctor.

[Matty Matheson]

Doctor.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, we. We.

[Matty Matheson]

Doctor, Bro. No, but it's like, PSP is still like, that's. It is. Like, I was there recently, and I was like, it's my favorite restaurant.

[Podcast Host 2]

No, that's what else.

[Matty Matheson]

It's like. That's the thing. It's like. It's this beautiful thing where I'm like, it is. But it's all, like, different things where I'm like, this is my favorite restaurant. If I was to go, you know, like, if I go to the grill or you go. You know, you go. You got some money. Because, like, the thing, too, is, like, day one, Prime Seafood palace was supposed to be the no compromise, right Restaurant. I wanted to put money in farmers, put money in fisher folk, put money in vegetable farmers, put ranchers, put money into things and, like, be like, no, my butter is going to cost 10 bucks a pound. You know, I want this restaurant. I'm like, if you just buy good ingredients and only buy good ingredients, you only got good ingredients. That's true. And the job is not easier, but it's like, it's way more focused. There's way more respect. Genuinely. There's no corners. There's no nothing.

[Ad Host]

And.

[Podcast Host 2]

And taking some guesswork out of it, too, because the.

[Podcast Host 3]

The.

[Podcast Host 2]

The foundation is there.

[Matty Matheson]

It's just like, dude, you eat that butter, and you're like, what is worth 10 bucks?

[Podcast Host 1]

$10 pound? But what's. What's your order at PSP? Ooh, steak and steam. Broccoli.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, no, we got this, like, wagyu. Like, Australian wagyu. Not like a five, but, like, just this good beef. That's, like, crazy right now. That steak is, like, some of the best beef I've ever had in my life. Life. And then I'll just get, like, our crudo. Our crudo is like a complete, like, ode to the Sicilian at Swan Oyster, you know? But it's very. It looks very different than that, but it is same kind of flavor profile. I love our crudo. The fish is incredible. I'll get. We have, like, these, like, uni toast things that we do that are Fire. I love those usually. Well, it's just like, I'll get all the seafood stuff, and then I'll get just, like, a steak and some vegetables. But, like, right now it's like we're getting to the point where, like, very quickly, like, we'll have, like, all of our vegetables will come from the farm. And just like, tomato season is crazy.

[Podcast Host 2]

The best.

[Matty Matheson]

The best season. The best. Like, having that, like, I'm like, I got like a poly tunnel that's completely filled with just sun golds. And like, you walk out there in the morning and you just grab a handful of sungolds, and they taste like persimmon mangoes and like, heaven on earth. It is crazy. Like, it is a thing where I'm just like. Just handfuls of sun golds in the morning, and you're like, you know, the

[Podcast Host 1]

best part of tomatoes season is BLT. It's BLT.

[Matty Matheson]

I only eat BLTs and just a toasted. Just a good toasted tomato sandwich without the bacon and lettuce. Just this, like, a hearty, like, I love, like a hearty grain. Like a. Like a 21 grain shitty bread, too. Like, not good.

[Podcast Host 2]

Some Dave's killer bread straight up.

[Matty Matheson]

I didn't want to say it, but

[Podcast Host 1]

like, Maddie's killer bread. Like a tomato steak.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, but like that toast. Toast, which is like, hella mayonnaise, salt and pepper and tomatoes that over. You just eat that over the sink?

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, over.

[Matty Matheson]

No cleanup that mayonnaise, tomato vinegar juice just drip into the sink. Little spritz, wipe off. See you later. Like, I would take a tote, like, just a toasted tomato over a blt. But BLT season should only be like. But also, like, I do have a love for just, like, an iceberg and shitty tomato. Blt, too.

[Podcast Host 2]

Diner blt. Come on, man. White bread.

[Matty Matheson]

Like, Harry Rosen has been incredible. They make all my suits, and they are incredible. I wear all Harry Rosen on the show. It's like, those guys are the best. The Rosen still family owned. It's amazing, and I feel so good. But, like, I wear suits, like, now it's for those things. And then just wearing a suit every day, like on the Bear for the last, like two seasons, I'm kind of like putting a suit on every day and going to work and. Which I had to do. Sure. I. I love.

[Podcast Host 1]

I've become my father. Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

Like, it is like, but I do, like, love it. And also, like, I, like, I had to get rid of all of my suits, and now I'm like, why?

[Podcast Host 1]

Because you.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, yeah. They were all made to match, like, 20 inches. Well, how many. How many suits are in your rotation at any given point?

[Matty Matheson]

Like, for out here, I bought like six. Oh, nice. Yeah, so I probably got like 10, 15 garment bag, which. Which I just shuffle them up.

[Podcast Host 1]

Dude, which suit is your favorite?

[Matty Matheson]

[Matty Matheson]

It's not a double breasted.

[Podcast Host 3]

Oh, it's not.

[Podcast Host 2]

Kingpin from Spider Man.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, it was a lot. It was a lot of fabric. They were expensive, too. I feel like Harry Rose is like, let's just make you. You know, they're like, double breast baby isn't for you. Right.

You know, you're in your little sunken place feeling good. But it's. But also, like, because I'm so, like, it is. I love. I do love shoes. So it is like, like as soon as I got here, like, and I love, like, bod shoes. So it is like, go there. I went there like, two days ago and I was just like, I got these, like, the weird, like, Elf. They're like green velvet with the elf. The.

They're just butt stuffed up. Yeah. And I'm just. I'm always just like, be better. You can be better. Well, I'm like, it's easy for you guys. You could put on. You're off the rack. And I'm just like. I don't understand off the rack that are like walk around ugly. You know, you have. No.

[Podcast Host 1]

Big boys can wear nice stuff too.

[Matty Matheson]

Big boys can wear nice stuff and tailored stuff too. But it is also like since in the like, I've kind of switched. Like I'm doing like break now where I never had the confidence to do. Sure. Like. Like let my pant hang. Like, I've always been like a floater boy, just like floating around. And I think that was more proportion stuff. So as my proportions have changed, my ratios have changed. I'm just Ratio guy.

Like golden ratio this guy.

[Matty Matheson]

[Podcast Host 2]

Do you think. Do you think about like being an inspiration for like bigger guys that want to get tailored looks off, get fits off? Like, because you. You're that guy dude. You really are. And I wonder if you even think about that.

[Matty Matheson]

I don't, but I do. I'm happy that I like being a big. I didn't. I always looked at like, wrestlers or in movies where I was just like, oh, like over the top. See that fat guy in the background? That guy looks tight. Like, you know, like, it is like one of those things where, like, I look to like that kind of stuff. Like, I didn't have, you know, Chris Farley didn't dress good, you know, but

I'm the best dressed 300 pounder in the world. Like, I would say that, like, in interviews. And like, I was like, why doesn't GQ with me? Why doesn't anybody ever give me. But now everyone fucks with with me and I'm just like, oh. I just had to be on the. I was like a YouTuber, you know? Like, I was just like, oh, oh. And I was just like, oh. I, I. Because I was in my mind, I was just like, I'm successful in my mind where I'm like, oh. I'm like, I have all this thing and I'm like, whatever. And I'm like, I'm doing this myself and I'm over here in my lane and I'm like, okay. But now I'm like, once again, like, because of the bear, it's like, oh, now I get some shine. And it's great.

Or like, hey, man, I only worked in. I only worked in French bistros. Like, I like it. We not saying we have a lot of similarities, but I'm like, I was just like, I just never wanted to.

We wrote that album in one day, we recorded it the next day and then three years later. Yeah, no, it's good. You can tell, buddy. Go out of here, bro. No, it's sick. But the, The. Yeah, no, it's fine. It's sick. Like, it's just like, whatever. Like, we're playing shows, people are coming out. It's sick playing a couple fests. Like some people don't with us. Which is great because they think I'm a plant or some.

[Podcast Host 2]

Wait, really?

[Matty Matheson]

There's a. There's like.

[Podcast Host 3]

Right.

[Matty Matheson]

It's also like, Wanna fire? They play like stadiums. It's is like. It is one of those things. But I'm like, we're still like hardcore kids. Like, I still picture my. I'm just like. I don't know. I wake up and put on hate. Breed the same as everybody else, you know, I brush my teeth. Earth crisis every day, you know?

[Podcast Host 2]

Like, I'm like.

[Matty Matheson]

I don't know. Like, I'm like, I'm still in my mind. I'm like, yeah, cool. I can go do Toy Story and I'll leave and I'll go to a show, you know? Like, I don't. I don't really see my job as my job. I go do it. I'm like, I don't understand. People are so obsessed with fame and can't understand. Understand fame or celebrity or anything. And I'm like, I don't think of that as anything. So I'm just like, I don't. I'm like, I go to. Do you have a job? Okay, I. I have a job, right? And I do my job and then I go and be in my friends. Me and my high school friends, bands. And it's just like one of those Things where it's just like. There's a little bit of, like, there's definitely discourse about the hardcore community about, like, what the we're doing. I'm like, I don't know. Get. Don't worry. We're not making money. We're not doing anything. We're still in the van. Like, guys, though, it's okay.

[Podcast Host 1]

Are you guys, like, roughing it, or are you. Now that's. You're, like, a little older. Little. Have more.

[Matty Matheson]

Little. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Part of the appeal. Right. That's why.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, well, it's not even appeal. It's just what we do. Like, it's just like, I don't know. Like, I have no problem sleeping on the floor. I don't care. Like, it is like, we'll get, like, two hotel rooms, you know? Like, it is, like, it's just fun. Like, it is, like, whatever. It's just hanging out with your friends and doing stuff like crushing, you know, monster beef jerky just in the van.

[Podcast Host 1]

Gas station.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, dude.

[Podcast Host 2]

Amazing.

[Matty Matheson]

Also, the Romanos are, like, musical geniuses. And it's the funniest thing about being in the band with them. And, like, I've known these guys 27 years, you know, almost for 26 years, but it is a. They don't listen to music in the van.

[Podcast Host 2]

What do they listen to?

[Podcast Host 1]

Nothing.

[Matty Matheson]

Nothing.

[Podcast Host 1]

They're like, you in the gym, dude.

[Matty Matheson]

I know, but you're just in a van with, like, six guys and it's like, incredible. Or Carson comes, like, Dan's wife comes with us sometimes, but it's is, like. It's incredible. I was just like, I'm so down with this. I was like, wait. We're just raw dogging five hours right now.

[Podcast Host 2]

Wow.

[Matty Matheson]

And you. You know, everyone puts in headphones or whatever they want, but Dan, who drives everywhere. Because he drives. He's the one who drives everywhere. It's like, like. No, me and Wade were like, you know, maybe like, talk radio.

[Ad Host]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Something like pop on a podcast.

[Matty Matheson]

Pop on a podcast. And we're just like. He's just like, nah, I'm good. We're just, like, amazing. Like, the music's in his mind. Gotta focus on the road thing, I think. Playing music your whole life. And Dan Romano is such a musical. Like, he's incredible at it, you know, he is an incredible musician. So I think him doing that, I was just like, I love you, Danny, so much. I love you, psychopath.

[Podcast Host 2]

[Matty Matheson]

an adult that might, you know, as an adult as.

[Podcast Host 1]

As a young adult.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Sleeping on floors, gas station dinners. Like what. What's something that I don't know, maybe is like you look back on. You're like, whoa. Holy. I can't.

[Matty Matheson]

I've been lucky. Like I'm like I've always been with like Trish, so she's always God. But I was hiding like eviction notices and like doing stuff like that. And like bleak. Taking money and like being like oh yeah, I paid rent, you know, but that was me more being a drug addict.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Not necessarily broke. Go hand inand not being broke.

[Matty Matheson]

Me just spending my money elsewhere.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah. But I. Yeah, like I'm. I don't know. Yeah, dude, ask my friends.

[Podcast Host 2]

I'm like, what's like maybe what's the grossest thing you would eat when you.

[Matty Matheson]

Grossest thing I would eat?

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

I was always working in restaurants and I could always cook. So like it was one of those things I'm like, I would would, you know, really like, I was just like, I. I think I used to work at like La select and like. And that was in like at the bottom of Chinatown in Toronto. And it's just like, just living off of like a two dollar bun me, you know, get like two or three of those or like even like in college, like I remember I finally lived in a city that had like Taco Bell because I can't like my town did not have like fast food restaurants.

[Podcast Host 1]

How crazy.

[Matty Matheson]

You only had like a McDonald's.

[Podcast Host 1]

[Podcast Host 2]

A cortado.

[Matty Matheson]

Oh boy. Get out of here. But yeah, I think it was just like eating on like no money. And also like, like when I used to tour with my friends, bands like back in like 20 when I was in my 20s, I. It was just like being on the road with that is like you get $10 per diem a day. And I remember I. We were on the east coast one time and everyone gets $10 a day. And like, that was your per diem, so you had 10 bucks. This is like, you know, whatever. 20, 10 or some shit. Whatever. Maybe before that. I remember on the. We were three days away from home and I had like, they gave us like our week. Like, you get like, you know, 50 bucks or whatever it is, is. And I remember we were on the east coast of Canada and we were in like Halifax or some. And at Subway on the east coast, sometimes you'll do like lobster roll. You get like, lobster.

[Podcast Host 2]

Wow. Fancy.

[Matty Matheson]

I was kind of hungry and, like, hungover and, like, you know, I spent all of. I bought like a 32 because I

[Podcast Host 2]

got like, blew it all the perm in one go.

[Matty Matheson]

And I bought this like, 12 inch lobster salad. And I got like bacon on it. Like all that. Like a club sandwich, but with. I made it, put all this on it, and I ate it, right?

[Podcast Host 2]

The whole thing.

[Matty Matheson]

And then everyone's just like, you got no money. We are out here for three more days. I was like, I don't care.

[Ad Host]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And I just like, whatever. I got home, I forget, like, whatever. But I'm like, I didn't have money. Like, you know, like, I. I live. I was in overdraft. I was, I don't know, 30. 30 till 31. You know, I rocked overdraft, right? $2,000.

[Podcast Host 2]

You're like, this is great, dude.

[Matty Matheson]

Dude. I would get a paycheck for like 2, $600 and I would have $600 in my bank account. I'd spend my live. I lived in my overdraft.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And then like, that was it. Like, I only had like $2,600 at a time for. Till I was in my 30s.

[Podcast Host 1]

But now you're good.

[Matty Matheson]

[Podcast Host 1]

So is there anything you still maybe, like, from your young broke days, like, has held over and, like, you still refuse to spend money on even though you can't afford it right now?

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, I think I'm still like a skid. Like, you know, like, I'm still. Yeah, like, come on, you know, haven't showered in two days wearing the same underwear. Like, like, I'm out from. Like, I'm. I'm gone for a month.

But I brought like seven. Seven suits. I have like five Ramos. You know, Like, I have like five Ramos. Like, everything's Like, I have, you know, like, this is a lot in shoes.

[Podcast Host 1]

This is the lobster roll mentality all over again.

[Matty Matheson]

But I'm like, still, like. Because that's me, right? That's what I'm like. No, nobody will see that. And that's like, the real me is like, I'm still like, I'm at Toy Story wearing underwear I've been wearing for three days in the.

[Podcast Host 1]

Perfect.

[Matty Matheson]

I'm showering, ready to. Ready to go, and I'll still, like, hotel floor. Just pull my underwear back on. Like, you know, like, it's just like. I don't know. I don't. I don't know.

[Podcast Host 2]

That's a treat just for you only, you know?

[Ad Host]

[Matty Matheson]

Like, I think it's just like, one of those things where I still like to be in the pain cage.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Matty Matheson]

And I'm just like, I'm okay there. I like it there. He lives in the pain cage also. It's just like, I don't know, anytime I want to really be. Just go hang out with my brothers. They just shred me and just. Just hang with my doggies.

[Podcast Host 2]

Bring them back down to earth.

[Podcast Host 1]

Is there a purchase you've made recently that you kind of regret? Maybe those fucking five Ramos.

[Matty Matheson]

Honest. Okay, here's something. No, I don't care about that. That's chill. I wanted to buy. I wanted to go and get a pair of cowboy boots for this suit I was wearing, and I was in it in la and I was stressed out, and I was just like, oh, my God, am I like, I'm not gonna go to Boot Barn to get these boots. I ended up going to some store in Beverly Hills where they had cowboy boots. And I'm in this store and I'm like, okay, whatever. I. I'm like, I find these sick alligators, like, really nice. Really? And I'm just, like, sick. Like, I'm just like, oh, yeah, I'll get these ones. You know, maybe they're like 500 bucks. Bucks. I put them. I go. And it's just like, they're $4200.

[Podcast Host 3]

Damn.

[Matty Matheson]

I didn't skip a beat. I was just like, yeah, for sure. Just like a full sunken. Like, I was just like, I'm going to jail. I was like, I don't know. Like, I walked outside and I was like, spun. And I was just like, I just spent $4,200 on boots that are kind of too tight, you know? I was just like, no, it. It was for Sadie Hawkins. It was actually for. Wow. It was for Sadie Hawk Hawkins. Actually, that's why I was in town. I was just like. And I was so mad. And I brought it home and I was. I was staying at Benny's house. I was just like. And Benny's like, what did you just do? And he's very tight with money. And I was just like, dude. I was just like. I just. I don't know what to do. He's like, take them back.

[Podcast Host 2]

Return them.

[Matty Matheson]

And I was like, no, well, I can't do that. Like, I'm so embarrassed by that because of, like, I think growing up the way I grew up, like, having to do something like. Like, that is very embarrassing for me where I think. I think, like, people that are born rich return anything because they don't give it. They don't give. But I was like, I would. I would die. And I also can't complain about anything because it, like, will kill me because I was just like, I can't. I literally have like a no complain thing kind of thing where I'm like, I can't complain about that. But that's what I did. And I. I still, like, think about it.

[Podcast Host 1]

You kept them?

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, I got him.

[Matty Matheson]

I brought him here.

[Podcast Host 2]

Okay.

[Matty Matheson]

I brought him here because I was just like, I'm gonna wear them with this suit. And they look good, good. And then I. But every time I take them, I'm kind of, like, mad at them. Like, I don't like them. And I was like, last time when I wore them to Sadie Hawkins, I was like, by the end of the night, my feet really hurt and they're kind of tight. And I was just like. I was like, I hate these.

[Podcast Host 1]

Stretch a little bit.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah. And you gotta get the cost per wear down.

[Matty Matheson]

Like. But then I, like, googled the brand. Like, I was just. I didn't even know what brand. I was just like, they just look fresh. And I was like, these are sick. I'm gonna get these. And I was like, I didn't know about the brand or anything. And then I, like, googled it. I was like, oh, these? Because I was like, did I get ripped off, too? I was like, did I just get, like, bel Aired or, like, you know, like, I was just like. And then I looked. I was like, oh, no, these boots are, like, hella expensive.

[Podcast Host 2]

And I was just like the old air shuffle.

[Podcast Host 1]

When you say Benny's tight with money, what do you mean by that?

[Matty Matheson]

Benny just. Benny's good with money. He's a frugal unit, that guy.

[Podcast Host 1]

He spends money, though. He spends money?

[Matty Matheson]

Well, yeah, like, that doesn't mean he's not cheap, but that's like, he would never buy him. Like, he would buy. He would wear like a million dollar diamond bracelet, but he would never buy, you know, like, I think there's a thing like, he's so wor. If he wears. He'd be wearing to come Kova.

[Podcast Host 1]

He's probably also roasting a little bit.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

What do you like to spend your money on?

[Matty Matheson]

Me?

[Podcast Host 1]

Besides. Besides family. Besides your own business endeavors and investing in yourself?

[Ad Host]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

What do you like to splash out on? Little treat moment?

[Matty Matheson]

No. I don't know. True. I think. I think it is like, luggage is a thing that I'm like, I'm really. I'm like, superficial. I'm like, oddly superficial where I'm like, I'm down to, like, work look like this. And then when I'm at the belt, I'm like, I kind of. I want my stuff to be like, whatever. But then I'm like, I feel like an idiot even saying that out loud, but I'm just like, it is.

[Podcast Host 1]

Is that like, you want to defy the expectations that people have you when they see you dressed like this?

[Matty Matheson]

Like, I am embarrassed. I was just like, oh, yeah. Like, I'm like. I'm like, always, like, embarrassed. Like when people say hi to me and I'm sitting up front or something like that. I'm always just like, hey, how you guys doing? Like, I'm always like, so nice and I want everyone. Whatever. Like, I just am embarrassed. But I'm like, also, like, having. Where Trish doesn't give a shit. And so, like, we're try. I'm like, you don't want to bring like, one of these bags. And she'll just grab like, her like, big crazy, like, L.L. bean tote, which is tight. But she's. She's still. She's like a. Trish is the realest. She's the most humbler of anybody. She would never spend a dollar or, like, never. Never once has been like, oh, my God, I want these, like, Prada things. Or like, every time I like, I have to push that stuff on her where I'm like, let's go into Prada and, like, get you some stuff. She's like, no, I don't like it. I'm like, like, okay. And then she's a cheap date. Yeah, she is on some. Well, sometimes.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

So you have five, but you have five removas. That's what you're spending. You literally.

[Matty Matheson]

Yeah, we have a ton. We got like, fleet. Yeah, I Got a bunch of stuff, but it. But it's whatever, Like, I'm pro remova.

I won't even mention any of the indie stuff because, like, you know, who cares?

Oh, you. We'll watch that, too. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

My name is Shannon Maldonado. I'm the founder of Yaoi, a gift shop from the lens of artists and handmade objects. I chose Shopify because when I was testing other platforms, it was definitely one of the most user friendly. It was important to me to think about where we would be in the future. All of the tools for reading your sales, like planning inventory, they're just right there. Your dashboard. For anyone starting a small business, the biggest thing I can tell you, it doesn't have to be perfect. Shopify can help you build upon it. Start your free trial on shopify.com Marketing

is hard, but I'll tell you a little secret. It doesn't have to be. Let me point something out. You're listening to a podcast right now and it's great. You love the host. You seek it out and download it. You listen to it while driving, working out, cooking, even going to the bathroom. Podcasts are a pretty close competition companion. And this is a podcast ad.
