Purrari-driving DJ Deadmau5 and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford met at Toronto’s City Hall for what was later revealed to be a “coffee run.” Well, a 30-minute YouTube clip was released Wednesday afternoon showing just that. And yes, they went to a Tim Hortons (how Canadian eh?) drive-thru with Ford ordering a whopping five espressos in one cup. Yes, five!

Someone in Ford’s inner circle then asks if it’ll take about half an hour. Deadmau5 replies “not even.”
The next few minutes feature Deadmau5 talking about the feline-inspired Nyan Cat car wrap on his Ferrari (known as the “Purrari“) and its origins.

Fifteen minutes in, Ford and Deadmau5 finally get to a Tim Hortons drive-thru.
“Can I get five espressos in one cup?” Ford says as Deadmau5 asks for an extra-large double-double. “I don’t know but it’s good,” Ford adds after Deadmau5 quips “that’s cardiac arrest!” Ford hands Deadmau5 a $20 bill since he “can’t have anyone paying for it” which causes Deadmau5 to mug for the camera.
“How much caffeine is in that…you should look that up,” When they pull up to the window Ford asks to ensure there’s five shots of espresso in his cup, giving Deadmau5 the change. “I pound these espressos back,” Ford says… WATCH THE FULL VIDEO
