The $500 Steak Dinner: The Bet & The Debt

Ep. 368

Adam finally makes his return to the podcast, and the crew wasted no time catching up! In this episode of The Intellectuals, Pantelis, Guido, and Nick dive into everything from the "generational curse" of Adam's scheduling to his recent life updates.


We cover a lot of ground today: Nick’s DIY renovation "CrossFit" session, Guido's mysterious international love interest, and a deep dive into the best (and worst) Greek food spots in Montreal. Plus, Nick challenges Adam’s work ethic with some "unassailable" math and a bet that could lead to a high-end steak dinner at Moishes—but only if you guys help us reach the goal!


In this episode:


Adam’s "metro issues" and the WhatsApp group saga.

Real-life TV filming at Guido’s house.

The "John Wick" connection to Brandon Lee.

Adam’s take on online gambling vs. offline limits.

The ultimate Montreal fast food and Greek restaurant review (Arohova, Marathon, and more).

A lesson in "upcycling" and the secret floors of Montreal.

We asked for the greatest minds of our time to start a podcast. They refused. So we settled for the complete opposite.
