The hosts share their desire to experience a traditional "boil up" and Marco can't hide his enthusiasm to join Lois' brother Neil on this adventure. They then shed light on the meaning of "the Double Double," a term often associated with Canada's famous coffee culture.

Both Marco and Lois express their love for the musical "Come From Away," which tells the heartwarming story of Newfoundland's response to stranded airline passengers during 9/11.
