Canada: Beaver Tails
Texas: Beaver Nuggets
Uhhhhh... What's with all the beaver snacks...
I was gonna ask the same.
I’ve been in Canada my whole life,but they were in Ottawa so it would make sense how I haven’t heard about
I mean beavers are our national animal. Idk why Texas does it tho
Everyone loves the taste of beaver.
i wonder if 'nuggets' refers to how beavers eat wood... 'cause they eat it twice.
Welcome to Canada, the country that's so cold we spread tree blood on ice and then eat it on a stick as a snack.
Like maple snowcones?
@AutisticHazel Its more of a really sugary mapley popsicle that isn't completely solid. You just put the syrup on snow or ice in a line, then take a stick (placing it on one end of the line) and roll up the now almost solid maple syrup. its delicious and I dont care if it's a stereotype. You could probably make it at home.
I’m sorry, blood!?
@@Theautisticenby
yes. tree sap, the thing you make syrup with, is basically blood for trees.
TIRE D'ÉRABLE!!!!
“PEOPLE KEPT SPEAKING FRENCH AT ME-“
LMAO
17:22 people always talk about how monopoly is the friendship ender, but bro uno can be just as petty
fr
Two-hour Uno is the realest most relatable and scariest thing that can happen
9:42 oh no your absolutely right. As someone who went to a French school and studied French verbs you have every right to find the language absurd
Same 💀
YUP!!! I could read & write in french before English yet I still find french grammar & spelling *ridiculous*. To be fair, so is English, but at least it doesn't care whether a car is masculine or feminine!
so true
@@nope6021 at least the absurdities of English can be blamed on it being six languages in a trench coat.
Especially when it's Quebec French. It is incomprehensible in France. Canadians always get made fun of for it.
This reminded me so much of how I met my wife. We met online in 2016 because she loved my art. After some time talking, we met in person at Anime Expo 2017. That December I packed my life into a carryon suitcase, took the train and moved in with her. We got married 2022. Life has a funny way of bring you to people who will love you like no other.
Aaaa that's so sweet :'0
Couldn’t watch this when it first came out because my iPad died but damn this title is the most Star thing ever.
There was an ikea-
Not me having vivid flashbacks of the exact ikea in question
Extremely uncool friends who understand French. Lame.
Sounds like me too
wow, your friends sound like nerds 😎
Yeah, so I have heard!
Hi Miss Bee!
8:15 As some that lived in Montreal for half my life, I can tell you, NOT EVEN FRENCH SPEAKING CANADIANS CAN UNDERSTAND THE QUEBEC ACCENT. You are not alone in this. I still have trouble going through a place I lived in for half my life and understanding what they are saying. French is a pretty hard language to understand if you're not use to it.
3:45 Well, Beaver Nuggets are essentially flavored packing peanuts so...
When I was 20 I took a spontaneous 2 week trip to LA, Booked on Monday afternoon, flew out Friday morning early, which meant I had to grab the train to the airport on Thursday evening as the earliest train would arrive an hour after departure. NO friends waiting for me, and had to go everywhere on foot.
Had a blast. Miss being crazy like that. :}
Oh hey I remember the stream this was being discussed (the cube is probably my favorite of these member emojis)
Shame cube! (That's what it's called I'm not trying to shame you or smth haha)
*the cube*
C u b e
I've gotten to the point where I've listened to basically every single video you've made while playing Stardew Valley
More Jay teaching you sword fighting!
As a Midwestern American I find your culture shock funny, because yes, while I would experience culture shock as well I would experience significantly less of it.
I was going to be disappointed if you didn't say you were watching the extended editions. The *correct* way to watch LOTR.
On a different note, I can empathize with what you said about being a lot more shy in person. I'm usually very long-winded or memey on YT, but irl I usually go out of my way to avoid social interactions, and I typically use as few words as possible.
22:24 that is a chaotic and hilarious way to play D&D
Nope is one of my favorite movies and I gotta say, the mental image of watching it completely mute is so funny to me 😂 when you get the chance you should absolutely watch it with volume it makes it extra amazing
It’s so good, i love it!
Came to hear about a stabbing.
Left missing my friends.
Glad to hear you had a good time! Funny thing about the snow: Ottawa had its warmest winter ever recorded this year, so frankly I'm surprised you found snow at all. Sucks because we have the Rideau Canal - the largest skating rink in the world - and it was only able to be open for 10 days this year (45 is roughly the average) after not being open at all last year. At least there's still canoeing available in the summer.
And yeah, Montreal airport is quite confusing at times. Hopefully it didn't sour your opinion of Quebeckers, they really are wonderful to be around when I go to all the different bands and concerts that like to skip over Ottawa (I am totally, 100%, not jealous of this, yep).
Thank you so so so so so much for being the first person in this comment section to not trash talk Quebec province! I am a Quebecker and uh… Yeah the people here were just all hating on everything from Quebec, idk… I am very grateful for your comment also Rideau Canal was only open for 10 days for ice skating??? I did not know that, it’s really sad… I went like two times there and it’s such a nice skating experience!
Me and my Moms listened to this and absolutely love that you make this stuff and have good friends
'the longest and most violent game of Uno I've ever played'
Welcome to playing Uno in Canada, yes it's always violent and, yes often long as h*ll. When I'm playing Uno with my friends, I be getting on the table to yell at them, and insulting them every time they hit me with a +2/+4 but also when I hit them with one.
And yeah sometimes you end up with a +20💀
That is absolutely relatable, as another Canadian 😂
Houston has Tim Hortons, Dallas airport is great, only travel on Tuesdays. UNO variants are beautiful
17:46 I always played with that rule too. You mean to say that's not an actual rule?!
Same with 17:57
“Gas station snacks from buc-ee’s” STAR I LOVE YOU
7:59 that’s so valid- I’m Canadian as well so I know how unintelligible French can be to a non native speaker. also considering the thick accent you were probably talking to a Québecois, who are notorious for being hard to understand even for French speakers
The fact that your acting like Canadian stuff is like ancient and I am loving it-
I am also Canadian
I'm deeply concerned and think there's a 50/50 chance I'll still be concerned when I understand the title.
Edit: I'm no longer concerned but instead excited.
As a Canadian, I love hearing people's first time in Canada and find it hilarious when they discover beavertails 🤣
As a Torontonian I do the flipping the bird thing at the TV screen when there's snow in the forecast. lol I hate winter, which didn't happen until mid-march this 'winter'.
I’m driving to Canada to see the eclipse right now!
That is so nice!! I hope you have the right glasses cause they’re all getting sold-out here though
I have not been in DFW airport in about 15 years, so maybe this is dated. However, the only time I've been in the DFW airport and thought it was quiet was when I came in on a flight that landed after midnight. Everything apart from caffeine dispensaries (Starbucks, Dunkin', etc) was closed, including the ticket desks and security. Maybe there was stuff operating in the receiving areas of the airport, but I only had carry on luggage and my car was in remote parking. If I recall correctly, I took the train to remote parking and didn't have to interact with anyone.
I don't think I ever flew out before 8AM, but I can imagine it's quiet then also.
YOUR FRIENDS SOUND AMAIZING!!!!
Well, we French people are always told French is the language of love. Since love is the most complex emotion out there, it's language must follow suit.😂😂😂😂
Oh! And Beaver tails are actually fried pizza dough. Easy to make at home.😊
I only recently started playing Stardew Valley and so am very excited to be able to recognise the background music
I live in the Montreal area, and hoo boy, you nailed it so hard, you had me actually chuckling.
It's funny how Canada is such a big unknown for a lot of Americans the further you are from the border. I visited someone in Kansas a few years back, and their parents asked me what side of the road we drive on in Canada, if we do the Fourth Of July or Thanksgiving, and so on. Mind you, these folks were college-educated. As you saw yourself, we're mostly kinda an America Lite. Oh, incidentally, my flight back out of Kansas to Chicago O'Hare was funny. It was literally just me and the entire KSU basketball team. In a propeller plane the size of a coach bus without much legroom. 💀
French really is a wild language. French has silent X's, silent S's, and even silent ENT's. They say the French have never met a letter they couldn't silence. And yeah, you're right, English is just as bad. We have C's and GH's that can stand for like thirteen and a half different sounds (seriously... "Naughty laughing ghost?" "Pacific Ocean"? 😂).
Oh, there's something goofy that happens on a regular basis in Montreal: Asking someone for directions in French and carrying on the conversation for a few whole-ass sentences until you both realize that the other person is also a native English-speaker rather than French. 😅
I'm not surprised that the Montreal-to-Ottawa flight was a twenty-minute hop in a propeller plane. Montreal-to-Ottawa is a two-hour *_drive_* on a good day - I've made the drive probably a dozen times.
About poutine: Oh heck yeah. I call it "a heart attack in a bowl". It'll kill you, but you'll die happy. We can't get enough of the stuff. You can get a poutine almost anywhere: Greasy spoons? The best. McDonalds? Yup. Burger King? Yup. Tim Hortons? They did one for a little while. Shwarma shops? Yup. Fancy restaurants? Yup, gourmet poutine is a thing. Pre-packed poutine at gas stations? Yeah, not too proud of that one, but here we are.
Anyway this video really did put a shit-eating grin on my face. Thanks for posting. This is maybe the third video of yours I've ever watched, and you just got a sub out of me.
I had a similar experience at getting off the ferry on Vancouver Island once. The border guard was uncertain about me and asked if I'd ever been before a judge. "Other than to be sworn into the Bar?" That got me through.
Every time you say “Hey star what you drawing?”
I just keep thinking of the sentence of “Hey star what you cooking?”
I don’t know why I kept thinking of it
19:02 my strategy for when card numbers get this obscenely large, I make piles for cards that are the same type so I can organize them more easily
psst... come to Toronto! We have CONS!
A perk of being a US/Canada citizen is the ability to have these out of the blue trips to Canada/US without really any major preps.
It is unfortunately something us non-US & canadian lads can't have :(
Oh yeah, it's great not having to do the whole "visa" thing that a lot of other countries have to do with each other. Heck, in decades past, it was _even easier_ to travel between the US and Canada. Like, you didn't even need a _passport_ .
Your lines are so clean I love them haha
If anything could do what my Mom did when she moved to Florida. Went to the beach, wrote "F you Winter," and flipped me off for the camera (and finds it funny).
Thanks for reminding me to watch Nope I love a good horror movie, not slasher but thrillers, or well-done gore with a story. I've never heard of a swap deck rule I may try experimenting with that someday. The rest is standard rules where I'm from....You gotta add the chain combos and sequential order regardless of color to really let loose it results in wilds being more of a bluff and skips and reverses becoming momentum killers while at the same time attempting to card count your opponents someone with 15 cards can easily win in a single turn....and when everyone piles on draw 2's and 4's easily one person can end up drawing 40 cards, my standard UNO deck is 3 packs together
I met my internet friends in a very similar way to you! I never really understood how people could be friends with strangers on the internet, and then I met this group. They're such wonderful people and I would dearly love to meet them someday! Most of them live in Europe though, so it would be a bit more difficult than an impulse trip to Canada haha
I'm from Quebec and I get to the Montreal airport for the first time this year. It was so huge! And yes, French is not an easy language. And many French speakers have a sharp accent (myself included, of course)... The province of Quebec protects its French language a little too much...
Oh yeah Villainous was one hell of a board game to try to learn. Aha. Played it with my bff awhile ago now, was fun, was chaotic,
i won the first time we played
I feel a sense that a new video is coming to talk about the times Star went to airports.
24:15 This is so true because I only have 1 friend as a 4th year college student, and that friend already graduated last year 😅 Honestly, I'm hoping to make a few friends in-person as well as online that's around the same age range as me 🤞🏽🙇🏽♀️
17:57 me any my family have an uno deck that we got years ago where you could make our own cards and we were RUTHLESS back then (and still are) so now we play with cards that say +17 on top of the house rule that we can stack the same type of card on top of each other in an attempt to not make the game last 7 years
as someone who's group of friends is also in another coutnry, i relate so much to this video XD my experience trough airports each time i visit is the same, down to the existential crisis monologue
Practicing with the longsword looked so fun
SDV music in the background is fantastic.
I somehow got stuck in a French class in middle school. I have never been more confused in a class. I choose to do it again the next year. Why, I still don't know. I don't know how I passed...
My entire name is French. First and middle are just the french spelling, my last name people always say wrong when they read it. It actually has two silent ls. Also 5 vowels and an x.
From being stabbed to stabbing someone, damn
I’m so grateful I was gifted a membership, I love watching (or listening) to your story videos, they’re so entertaining! Glad I got to see this early, kind of disappointing the end of the month is coming up, but it’s really fun to use the member emojis!
Molly
A while ago I was at my local youth choir program’s weekly meet and I found a bag of ketchup flavored chips under a chair. I don’t live in Canada, so it was super weird
I have the same house rules for uno. One time I got my sister to take 36 cards.
Hi! Canadian here! I'm glad you got to experience poutine and tim hortans! Also i don't like the ketchup chips either lol
As a person from Montreal I am sorry you had such a harsh time at our airport. Also yes French is a very silly language.
23:37 It's ok,feel free to cry
16:09 Who is that, that's not a snow-tailed weasel.
that thumbnail is on point!
Well, it seems like you had fun in the country where an exploding house was part of our history (I’m a nerd deal with it)
15:23 POUTINE RULES OMG YES
12:30 as someone that’s close buddies with a person she met online, and also has the same anxiety when talking to people: *My friend did all the work, he’s the one that asked me questions and started conversations, and eventually I got comfortable enough to not have anxiety when texting back XD*
Online friendships are magical man
Can’t believe this came out the same day Jaiden Animations released “I got sent to Japan” L o l.
It's the same in Belgium, if you're a French speaking, they keep speaking Dutch to you because of the opposition between French and Dutch speaking part of the country.
In Quebec, they speak French to every English person.
Istg ur vids r soooo good while doing arttttt
12:07 the whole social interaction thing I get more than anything. The whole, I’m a lot, but still shy lol
21:00 fun fact: back here in austria we have a type of cake called Bienenstich wich literally translates to bee sting. so that tends to bear similarly wtf style reactions too
Damn didn’t expect you to get so accustomed to the Canadian culture so fast (i am of course referring to the stabbing)
"I mean if you aren't constantly bullying eachother even a little bit are you even friends?"
Real bc with every friend of mine we are sometimes mean to eachother (with only one of my friends we are friends yet bully eachother ever sentence we speak)
Love the stardew music lol
I was in the middle of a Stardew playthrough during the trip so it's a bit like a little in-joke with myself and my friends lol. I kept updating them on my keg empire throughout the visit
You’re explaining killer uno and man! That is fun! I’ve played for three hours straight before! It’s great!!!
(reveals being introverted and having social anxiety)
First time? Glad that you had good time. 👍
We love falling asleep to cheese
When did they change that rule in UNO? It has always been you draw till you get a card to play...
that's how my BFs family plays uno! we use uno flip! thats a riot
Thanks for the video
I live in the same country you do (I live in Virginia), and I have never heard of beaver nuggets until now.
Again. First was you get stabbed and now you stabbed a person
Isnt the fact, that you can stack +2 and +4 cards in Uno a standart rule? Every game, that I ever played had it.
“The horrors of people speaking French” is such a funny line
Bruh I am going to Canada in a few days. A road trip…
Just finished the video,,, SLAYY!!! YOU ATE THAT UNO GAME UP :33
Fun fact I know: Canadian French is apparently very different from European French. So much so that you can't just learn one and be able to understand the other.
Btw the maple syrup stuff isn’t a myth. I once had chicken nuggets dipped in maple syrup, sushi, maple syrup straight up…
I was just watching your videos and saw this after finishing one, how the heck!!
As a french canadian; I had a similar experience in custom when I was visiting USA. Like, please when i ask to speak slowly so I can understand, why does they have a judgemental look and just keep going? T_T
as a french person I apologize for your experience, most french people here aren't really experienced with speaking foreign languages D: And we too have a hard time understanding most of it's subtilities
it's not foreign. english is the most commonly spoken language in canada and easily available for all to learn for free at any age and in most schools.
@@bleh329 thanks for bringing nothing...? French people are just too lazy to learn it
"Beaver nuggets" as a Midwestern who's only been to a Buc-cee's once, that is odd.
If you have any story about the eclipse I would love to hear even if it's not that exciting ^^
Watching NOPE without sound is a crime.
Love the stardew valley theme song in the background😁
I clicked on the title before I processed it, and then my brain was like, WAIT WHAT
