Sam Skolrood: Tea. What time of day is it? Tea, probably.

 

Cats or dogs?

Skolrood: Flight.

Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?

Skolrood: I want to be a graduate.

 

Q: Where are you guys from?

McGregor: Ottawa, kind of. I’m from two hours north of Ottawa. 

That’s not Ottawa.

McGregor: It’s pretty close.

 

Q: Two hours is not close.

Skolrood: Yeah, put him in his f—king place, honestly.

McGregor: It’s called Matawaki.

Skolrood: I’m from Vancouver.

 

Q: What is your favourite food? 

Skolrood: Evan doesn’t eat food.

Khodeir: Yeah, got to stay away from that stuff, trying to quit.

Skolrood: That’s funny, well done.

 

Q: Who are your role models? 

Skolrood: My mom. Cheers mom. .

 

Q: What are you looking for in a date? 

Gutz: True love of course.

Skolrood: Something to fill the enormous void in my heart.

McGregor: I don’t know, a good time, hopefully. Someone who doesn’t hate me.

 

Q: Would you ask your date to go for coffee or for beer?

Skolrood: Depends. It depends on the girl.

 

Q: Where is the best place in Kingston to take a date?

Skolrood: Ale house? Promotion. We don’t work there.

Cory Scholtz: I work at [Chez Piggy]. It’s a pretty good spot.

 

Q: Do you get a discount?

Scholtz: Yeah.

 

Is that okay to take your date somewhere you get a discount?

Scholtz: Oh yeah. It’s a power move.
