00:00:34.500 –> 00:00:35.800

Jagger and Doran’s podcast.

23
00:00:37.420 –> 00:00:38.240
The produce stand.

24
00:00:38.560 –> 00:00:39.720
Ah, fucking sexy.

25
00:00:42.780 –> 00:00:48.040
It’s Taco Tuesday and that means we are once again hanging out at the produce stand.

26
00:00:48.320 –> 00:00:53.100
Podcast paying tribute to the great Canadian show Letter Kenny, but now we’re also

27
00:00:53.100 –> 00:00:54.620
paying tribute to Shorzy.

28
00:00:58.390 –> 00:00:59.150
I know what you’re thinking.

29
00:00:59.150 –> 00:01:03.910
There are many other podcasts of Letter Kenny out there, but this one is never going to

30
00:01:03.910 –> 00:01:04.610
lose again.

31
00:01:05.330 –> 00:01:08.810
I’m Al, your host, and joining me in the room as always is a lovely Tanya, and online

32
00:01:08.810 –> 00:01:12.130
we have squirrely Matt and the violent Victor.

33
00:01:12.670 –> 00:01:17.230
And joining us tonight, he’s a professor which makes him far too smart to be in

34
00:01:17.230 –> 00:01:17.670
this group.

35
00:01:17.890 –> 00:01:22.190
He likes cooking, lakes, forests, silly conversations with his son and his wife.

36
00:01:22.250 –> 00:01:23.070
He’s a good guy.

37
00:01:23.110 –> 00:01:24.110
He’s a really good guy.

38
00:01:24.230 –> 00:01:26.610
Please join me making some noise for Robbie.

39
00:01:26.850 –> 00:01:27.310
Wondrous.

40
00:01:27.450 –> 00:01:28.530
Oh my god.

41
00:01:42.670 –> 00:01:44.990
Welcome to the produce stand, Robbie.

42
00:01:45.170 –> 00:01:47.690
This is your first time on an episode.

43
00:01:47.830 –> 00:01:53.470
You’ve been, you know, at Egg All’s and after parties and stuff before, but this

44
00:01:53.470 –> 00:01:55.790
is your first time as a panelist.

45
00:01:55.910 –> 00:01:56.350
Welcome.

46
00:01:57.410 –> 00:01:57.810
Thank you.

47
00:01:57.850 –> 00:01:58.050
Yeah.

48
00:01:58.050 –> 00:01:58.810
It’s good to be here.

49
00:01:58.870 –> 00:02:00.730
I forgot that you do that sort of intro.

50
00:02:01.130 –> 00:02:01.870
That threw me a bit.

51
00:02:03.450 –> 00:02:04.330
You forget?

52
00:02:04.550 –> 00:02:04.810
Yeah.

53
00:02:04.810 –> 00:02:06.530
I was going to say, well, you need your intro.

54
00:02:06.530 –> 00:02:08.870
I thought I feel like we would have cheated you out of your intro.

55
00:02:10.070 –> 00:02:13.170
So you know, remind everybody, where are you speaking to us from today?

56
00:02:14.130 –> 00:02:17.350
Currently, my temporary home in Bullsburg, Pennsylvania.

57
00:02:17.890 –> 00:02:18.290
Okay.

58
00:02:18.430 –> 00:02:19.750
Temporary because?

59
00:02:20.810 –> 00:02:24.390
My wife and I are on sabbatical this semester, so we’re spending the semester working

60
00:02:24.390 –> 00:02:25.790
at Penn State University.

61
00:02:26.810 –> 00:02:30.110
In about a month, we’ll go back to back west.

62
00:02:30.110 –> 00:02:31.850
We work at Washington State University.

63
00:02:32.010 –> 00:02:32.730
Oh, very cool.

64
00:02:32.930 –> 00:02:35.090
So are you looking forward to getting, getting back west?

65
00:02:36.170 –> 00:02:36.650
Yeah.

66
00:02:37.450 –> 00:02:39.470
I, I am ready to get out of this humidity.

67
00:02:39.610 –> 00:02:42.270
I was going to say it’s probably less humid over there.

68
00:02:42.550 –> 00:02:47.930
Much much less humid and I miss my own house and particularly my own kitchen.

69
00:02:49.050 –> 00:02:50.010
So yeah.

70
00:02:50.230 –> 00:02:50.690
Very good.

71
00:02:51.030 –> 00:02:54.510
So where did you discover or when did you discover Letter Kenny?

72
00:02:56.410 –> 00:02:58.670
I think it was summer 2019.

73
00:02:58.890 –> 00:03:02.910
So showed already started and I had not heard of it and I walked into a buddy’s

74
00:03:02.910 –> 00:03:07.390
and his roommate was watching Letter Kenny and he said something like, oh, you’re watching

75
00:03:07.390 –> 00:03:07.990
this again.

76
00:03:07.990 –> 00:03:09.250
And I looked at it.

77
00:03:09.250 –> 00:03:10.190
I said, what is this?

78
00:03:10.370 –> 00:03:12.310
And it looked interesting.

79
00:03:12.590 –> 00:03:17.150
I feel like maybe especially early on, there was something about the lighting and

80
00:03:17.150 –> 00:03:20.510
maybe even the color saturation that it just had a different look to it.

81
00:03:20.510 –> 00:03:20.930
Right.

82
00:03:21.550 –> 00:03:27.210
And I was surprised that I was totally unaware of it because I’m obsessed with

83
00:03:27.210 –> 00:03:28.150
all things comedy.

84
00:03:29.610 –> 00:03:31.930
And we went, we left there, went back to the Airbnb.

85
00:03:31.930 –> 00:03:35.750
We were staying in and they had Hulu and I immediately started watching it and

86
00:03:36.750 –> 00:03:39.130
then very quickly watched the entire series.

87
00:03:39.570 –> 00:03:40.210
That’s amazing.

88
00:03:41.190 –> 00:03:43.450
When did you start with this podcast?

89
00:03:43.530 –> 00:03:45.770
When did you discover us?

90
00:03:45.950 –> 00:03:47.450
I think it was pretty recent.

91
00:03:47.610 –> 00:03:50.950
I think in the winter, maybe I feel like, yeah, I feel like you’re right.

92
00:03:51.550 –> 00:03:53.750
Pretty recent, which is another thing.

93
00:03:53.750 –> 00:03:56.590
It’s funny because not only did it take me a while to be aware of Letter Kenny,

94
00:03:56.630 –> 00:03:58.550
but I didn’t know this podcast existed.

95
00:03:58.570 –> 00:04:00.930
And the other thing I’m obsessed with is podcasts.

96
00:04:00.930 –> 00:04:04.390
So I can’t believe it took me so long to find it.

97
00:04:04.510 –> 00:04:07.910
But the nice thing is when you find something that already exists, you get to

98
00:04:07.910 –> 00:04:09.630
binge a whole bunch of it all at once.

99
00:04:10.970 –> 00:04:14.990
So when you caught up, were you like, ah crap, now I got to wait every week.

100
00:04:16.209 –> 00:04:17.890
Yeah. Yeah. It’s always like that.

101
00:04:17.890 –> 00:04:19.269
Yes. Yes. Very good.

102
00:04:19.610 –> 00:04:24.490
Well, so we’re going to, you know, get to know our weeks and the lineup

103
00:04:24.490 –> 00:04:27.590
tonight is Al, Victor, Tanya, Matt and our guest, Rob.

104
00:04:27.650 –> 00:04:28.810
You will have the last word.

105
00:04:29.330 –> 00:04:30.450
So start with me.

106
00:04:30.450 –> 00:04:31.310
My week.

107
00:04:31.610 –> 00:04:34.410
So unfortunately, today we were supposed to have an interview

108
00:04:34.410 –> 00:04:36.130
with Darren Rose, but that didn’t happen.

109
00:04:36.950 –> 00:04:41.490
He he got called as a last minute replacement for somebody else.

110
00:04:41.730 –> 00:04:43.130
And he had to fly to Arizona.

111
00:04:44.090 –> 00:04:47.390
So but he’s very apologetic and he’s he’s asked, you know, or he said,

112
00:04:47.590 –> 00:04:48.890
he’ll join us next week.

113
00:04:49.010 –> 00:04:50.770
So we’re going to reschedule that.

114
00:04:51.110 –> 00:04:53.610
My week’s been a little less hectic.

115
00:04:53.670 –> 00:04:56.830
Now that, yes, we were open is done.

116
00:04:56.930 –> 00:05:00.110
Season two is done, but still pretty busy because today

117
00:05:00.110 –> 00:05:02.990
I was actually prepping for three podcasts, one for work

118
00:05:02.990 –> 00:05:06.610
and then the interview with Darren and this one tonight,

119
00:05:06.790 –> 00:05:09.630
because I only found out about Darren, you know, halfway through the day.

120
00:05:09.910 –> 00:05:12.710
So it’s been kind of hectic, but it’s been all right.

121
00:05:12.750 –> 00:05:13.650
You know, I can’t complain.

122
00:05:13.770 –> 00:05:17.470
I’m podcasting, so no one no one’s going to listen to me complain.

123
00:05:17.610 –> 00:05:19.670
I also started watching the new Star Trek.

124
00:05:19.890 –> 00:05:21.930
It was a strange new world, I think it’s called.

125
00:05:22.170 –> 00:05:23.350
And it’s really, really good.

126
00:05:23.430 –> 00:05:26.290
I highly recommend it if you’re a Star Trek fan, check it out.

127
00:05:27.590 –> 00:05:29.790
There’s some letter Kenny connections in there.

128
00:05:29.790 –> 00:05:33.170
Bradley is in the first episode, and so is Mrs.

129
00:05:33.310 –> 00:05:35.350
McMurray. Obviously, they’re not playing those characters,

130
00:05:35.370 –> 00:05:37.770
but it’s it’s it’s pretty good.

131
00:05:37.990 –> 00:05:39.550
I’m really enjoying it so far.

132
00:05:40.990 –> 00:05:43.210
And yeah, I can’t think of anything else.

133
00:05:43.270 –> 00:05:45.210
So, Victor, how are you?

134
00:05:46.430 –> 00:05:47.990
I’m pretty good, a little tired.

135
00:05:48.090 –> 00:05:50.590
One of those six AM to six PM days.

136
00:05:50.630 –> 00:05:56.470
And then when you told us that the podcast was going to be moved,

137
00:05:56.570 –> 00:05:57.970
I thought I’d go for a run.

138
00:05:57.970 –> 00:06:01.810
And then the DJ called me up and said, hey, can you do this one extra thing for me?

139
00:06:02.370 –> 00:06:05.010
So I did. And and then I went for my run.

140
00:06:05.370 –> 00:06:08.110
So just came back in time for this podcast.

141
00:06:08.350 –> 00:06:10.330
And and I’m here.

142
00:06:10.750 –> 00:06:12.650
So, you know, pretty good.

143
00:06:12.850 –> 00:06:13.950
Not complaining. It’s all good.

144
00:06:14.350 –> 00:06:18.270
And we my Linda and I started watching Stranger Things.

145
00:06:18.290 –> 00:06:19.790
So we’re already halfway through that one.

146
00:06:20.230 –> 00:06:22.690
And it’s it’s everything that you expected.

147
00:06:22.730 –> 00:06:27.570
All the trophy 80s nostalgia, which is the reason we watch it.

148
00:06:27.570 –> 00:06:32.390
Yeah. You know, so if you like that, you’ll if you like the previous seasons,

149
00:06:32.450 –> 00:06:33.450
you’ll enjoy this one.

150
00:06:33.450 –> 00:06:36.570
If you thought it was too goofy, then you’ll probably still think that.

151
00:06:37.270 –> 00:06:39.230
So no, I’ve been looking forward to it.

152
00:06:39.230 –> 00:06:42.930
Like they’ve been it feels like they’ve been off for a long time, though.

153
00:06:42.970 –> 00:06:44.550
I guess they were they were.

154
00:06:44.930 –> 00:06:48.710
And then, you know, everyone was concerned that, oh, they’re going to get too big.

155
00:06:48.890 –> 00:06:50.110
And they they made it work.

156
00:06:50.630 –> 00:06:53.290
Everything’s it’s a it’s a first class production.

157
00:06:53.390 –> 00:06:57.350
Right. Some of those some of those actors will look much older with a couple of years.

158
00:06:57.350 –> 00:06:59.050
They made it. Yeah, it’s not an issue.

159
00:06:59.150 –> 00:06:59.870
They made it work.

160
00:07:00.270 –> 00:07:02.110
And it’s just it’s written well.

161
00:07:02.190 –> 00:07:03.070
It’s shot well.

162
00:07:03.230 –> 00:07:05.930
It’s just it’s just a super super pro.

163
00:07:06.050 –> 00:07:08.110
I mean, there’s, you know, the money they’re throwing at that show,

164
00:07:08.110 –> 00:07:08.970
I’m sure, is incredible.

165
00:07:09.210 –> 00:07:11.650
So anyway, so, yeah,

166
00:07:12.250 –> 00:07:15.350
definitely recommended if that if you already have been enjoying it.

167
00:07:15.870 –> 00:07:19.330
Yes. But I mean, we love the first was it this is season four, right?

168
00:07:19.730 –> 00:07:21.730
Yeah. Yeah. Tanya and I love the first three seasons.

169
00:07:21.730 –> 00:07:24.630
So we’re we’re definitely going to watch it once once we have some time.

170
00:07:25.210 –> 00:07:25.710
Ted.

171
00:07:28.010 –> 00:07:29.970
Well, we’re only on Tuesday,

172
00:07:30.190 –> 00:07:33.350
but I must say, I’m already very discombobulated.

173
00:07:34.270 –> 00:07:36.250
I love that word, by the way.

174
00:07:36.410 –> 00:07:37.810
It’s a great word.

175
00:07:37.930 –> 00:07:39.110
I learned it in an elevator.

176
00:07:39.370 –> 00:07:40.230
Ever. I can.

177
00:07:41.070 –> 00:07:44.250
I use that word, especially for awesome.

178
00:07:44.570 –> 00:07:47.530
Who uses words that go over my head sometimes.

179
00:07:47.570 –> 00:07:48.830
So that’s my big one.

180
00:07:48.910 –> 00:07:49.930
That’s all I can share.

181
00:07:50.070 –> 00:07:53.690
That’s that’s the top of my my game on the on the word salads.

182
00:07:54.450 –> 00:07:58.810
Anyways, yeah, we’re on Tuesday, but it’s it’s a it’s a messed up week.

183
00:07:58.810 –> 00:08:02.450
We’ve got a PA day thrown on a Thursday this week,

184
00:08:02.450 –> 00:08:05.750
which is just absolutely uncalled for.

185
00:08:06.110 –> 00:08:09.130
Papostris, I’m going to use Papostris on that one.

186
00:08:10.190 –> 00:08:13.810
Yeah, for some unknown reason, the school board gave us a Thursday

187
00:08:13.810 –> 00:08:16.250
PA day, which makes absolutely no sense.

188
00:08:16.450 –> 00:08:18.490
Which means most of the parents are keeping their kids out of school

189
00:08:18.490 –> 00:08:19.470
for the Friday as well.

190
00:08:19.470 –> 00:08:22.450
So it’s just a long weekend for the kids, but not for the parents.

191
00:08:22.450 –> 00:08:26.230
We’ve got cousins coming over family of five.

192
00:08:26.270 –> 00:08:28.570
So the house is going to get real full real fast.

193
00:08:30.050 –> 00:08:33.850
And they’ve got the PD on the Friday, which makes sense.

194
00:08:34.270 –> 00:08:38.850
And so they’re heading into town in the afternoon.

195
00:08:38.890 –> 00:08:40.370
So just preparing for that.

196
00:08:41.250 –> 00:08:43.710
And there’s a comment about what’s a PA day.

197
00:08:43.710 –> 00:08:45.430
Right. So I think in the States.

198
00:08:45.590 –> 00:08:46.950
Well, maybe it’s called something different.

199
00:08:47.010 –> 00:08:48.270
A PA day or teacher.

200
00:08:48.310 –> 00:08:49.830
It’s a professional activity day.

201
00:08:49.830 –> 00:08:52.670
They also call them PD days, professional development days.

202
00:08:53.230 –> 00:08:54.690
They’re just days off for the kids.

203
00:08:54.770 –> 00:08:57.890
But the teachers have to go in and, I don’t know, work on lesson plans

204
00:08:57.890 –> 00:08:59.470
or probably just drink in the lounge.

205
00:08:59.750 –> 00:09:01.750
It’s, you know, I mean, Robbie, a lot of times

206
00:09:02.410 –> 00:09:05.830
they’re called in-service days in school districts that I’ve been around.

207
00:09:06.530 –> 00:09:10.630
So school kids are off, but teachers are in working on something.

208
00:09:10.990 –> 00:09:14.110
Yeah. The teachers say we’ve got to do some things, figure it out.

209
00:09:15.070 –> 00:09:16.210
That’s your kids.

210
00:09:16.990 –> 00:09:18.010
Yeah. Be a parent today.

211
00:09:18.010 –> 00:09:21.130
Yeah. So, yeah, that’s that’s what it is.

212
00:09:21.330 –> 00:09:23.950
So PD. Yeah, that’s the other word.

213
00:09:24.310 –> 00:09:25.490
Yeah. Yeah.

214
00:09:25.530 –> 00:09:27.790
So we’re just getting ready.

215
00:09:27.870 –> 00:09:31.290
Like, it’s June 1st tomorrow, which is crazy.

216
00:09:31.890 –> 00:09:37.390
So we’ve got a month left of school and then going headed into summer.

217
00:09:39.030 –> 00:09:41.690
Yeah, I think that’s I.

218
00:09:41.690 –> 00:09:46.810
Oh, I pitched my itinerary for our trip and that went really well.

219
00:09:46.810 –> 00:09:49.250
I got gold stars on that one.

220
00:09:49.470 –> 00:09:51.330
She got sign off after the first presentation.

221
00:09:51.590 –> 00:09:53.130
So that’s that’s unheard of. Yeah.

222
00:09:53.170 –> 00:09:56.250
I love my spreadsheets and I love my pre-plans.

223
00:09:56.790 –> 00:09:58.890
So hire me, hire me, please.

224
00:09:59.290 –> 00:10:00.190
To fill people in.

225
00:10:00.490 –> 00:10:03.990
We’re going to Newfoundland for 10 days in August.

226
00:10:05.330 –> 00:10:10.150
And and we’re driving and we’re taking an RV around Newfoundland.

227
00:10:10.150 –> 00:10:12.990
So we have a multi of 10 stops.

228
00:10:13.210 –> 00:10:15.430
I don’t know. I worked it all out.

229
00:10:15.430 –> 00:10:16.330
Tanya worked out.

230
00:10:16.530 –> 00:10:18.450
Has experience driving an RV?

231
00:10:19.250 –> 00:10:20.410
None, none of us. It’ll be fun.

232
00:10:20.730 –> 00:10:21.950
That’s going to be the best part.

233
00:10:22.090 –> 00:10:24.650
Exactly. That’s part of the fun is learning how to drive it.

234
00:10:24.770 –> 00:10:26.070
Oh, yeah. Two families.

235
00:10:26.190 –> 00:10:28.050
How hard to families of four and one.

236
00:10:28.270 –> 00:10:29.650
It’s a 31 footer.

237
00:10:29.650 –> 00:10:33.250
It’s not that we figure we did covid and we all managed

238
00:10:33.250 –> 00:10:34.810
to not kill each other in a house.

239
00:10:35.070 –> 00:10:37.870
So let’s just throw it in a tent and see what happens.

240
00:10:38.090 –> 00:10:41.030
Like, I think it’s just it’s fair game at this point.

241
00:10:41.110 –> 00:10:42.590
It’ll be good out on the open road.

242
00:10:42.730 –> 00:10:43.510
Yeah. What could go wrong?

243
00:10:43.510 –> 00:10:47.050
I haven’t seen any of those cheesy RVing movies like the one

244
00:10:47.050 –> 00:10:48.530
that Robin Williams is in, so I don’t know.

245
00:10:49.050 –> 00:10:50.810
We could totally do it.

246
00:10:51.370 –> 00:10:53.850
Surprisingly good for that wasn’t that wasn’t a cheesy movie.

247
00:10:53.990 –> 00:10:55.330
It was a it was a it was great.

248
00:10:55.670 –> 00:10:56.530
Yeah, it was pretty good.

249
00:10:56.530 –> 00:10:59.590
I actually saw that with the whole family when that came out years ago.

250
00:10:59.790 –> 00:11:01.390
I like that. What was it called?

251
00:11:01.930 –> 00:11:03.950
It was called RV. Oh, perfect.

252
00:11:04.330 –> 00:11:05.370
And it’s Robin Williams.

253
00:11:05.410 –> 00:11:09.490
Yeah, I’m going to have to make comedy, but it’s it’s actually pretty entertaining.

254
00:11:09.930 –> 00:11:11.890
I’m going to have to put that on the list for this weekend.

255
00:11:12.010 –> 00:11:12.970
There you go. That will be great.

256
00:11:12.970 –> 00:11:14.350
Thanks. Thank you.

257
00:11:14.350 –> 00:11:15.250
Big rolling turd.

258
00:11:15.370 –> 00:11:17.070
Matt, you’re up. I’m up.

259
00:11:17.330 –> 00:11:18.950
It’s been a hell of a week.

260
00:11:20.650 –> 00:11:22.230
Yeah, I mean, all that I’d say has been good.

261
00:11:22.330 –> 00:11:26.210
I was saying in the pre-show, wifey’s down and out for the count.

262
00:11:27.490 –> 00:11:28.790
She’s been sick since last week.

263
00:11:28.810 –> 00:11:30.350
That’s not what makes it a good week.

264
00:11:30.610 –> 00:11:31.830
That was a bad segue.

265
00:11:32.950 –> 00:11:34.010
Pretty bad there.

266
00:11:34.850 –> 00:11:37.030
But no, she’s like, yeah, she’s just been a hot mess.

267
00:11:37.090 –> 00:11:41.480
I know I missed the rehearsal for the table read on Friday because she was out.

268
00:11:42.420 –> 00:11:43.960
It’s yeah, it was bad.

269
00:11:44.140 –> 00:11:46.760
And she hasn’t left her room all day today.

270
00:11:46.800 –> 00:11:48.180
I’m hoping she’s over the hump.

271
00:11:48.320 –> 00:11:50.980
But we’ll wake up tomorrow and deal with it then.

272
00:11:51.060 –> 00:11:52.680
But she’s sleeping right now.

273
00:11:53.180 –> 00:11:57.640
So, I mean, I’ve had me on double duty parent dad mode, so that’s fine.

274
00:11:58.780 –> 00:12:00.800
Aside from that, we did wonderland on the weekend,

275
00:12:00.940 –> 00:12:03.240
which is which is our amusement park here in Toronto.

276
00:12:03.240 –> 00:12:04.840
Do you have season tickets or something?

277
00:12:05.300 –> 00:12:06.760
We do. Yeah, it was OK.

278
00:12:07.040 –> 00:12:11.200
That’s why from my parents, they bought us all season tickets.

279
00:12:11.480 –> 00:12:12.620
Which I think we’ve already agreed.

280
00:12:12.820 –> 00:12:16.920
This is going to be our annual ask from them for for Christmas presents

281
00:12:16.920 –> 00:12:19.040
because it’s paying off really well.

282
00:12:19.120 –> 00:12:21.460
And I convinced my eight year old to go on Vortex,

283
00:12:21.560 –> 00:12:25.040
which is a pretty wild roller coaster there.

284
00:12:25.160 –> 00:12:28.800
It’s still not the the biggest or the baddest, but it’s it’s a pretty good.

285
00:12:29.220 –> 00:12:29.840
It is a good one.

286
00:12:30.140 –> 00:12:33.280
He was scared shitless getting in line, but we convinced him to do it.

287
00:12:33.280 –> 00:12:36.380
And the greatest thing was when we were done, he was sitting beside me.

288
00:12:36.520 –> 00:12:38.160
I’m like, Reese, you good, buddy?

289
00:12:38.160 –> 00:12:42.420
And I see his hand lift up shaking and he gives me like a fist bump.

290
00:12:42.700 –> 00:12:45.340
He’s like, how is fun as he’s like quivering.

291
00:12:45.660 –> 00:12:47.000
Oh, my God.

292
00:12:47.300 –> 00:12:48.480
Vortex. I got a boy.

293
00:12:48.740 –> 00:12:49.660
I’m like, but it was fun.

294
00:12:49.760 –> 00:12:51.660
He’s like, yeah, I just can’t feel anything.

295
00:12:51.820 –> 00:12:52.500
I’m like, it’s OK.

296
00:12:52.760 –> 00:12:56.320
Well, once has he hit up that Vortex can’t be the first.

297
00:12:56.760 –> 00:12:59.920
Well, so we kind of we went from like the Goster

298
00:12:59.920 –> 00:13:02.160
coaster, which is the child, the child’s one.

299
00:13:02.380 –> 00:13:06.680
Then we did Dragonfire, which has double upside down and spirals.

300
00:13:06.680 –> 00:13:08.680
So went right to that and then went to Vortex.

301
00:13:09.060 –> 00:13:11.920
So we elevated him very quickly.

302
00:13:12.500 –> 00:13:13.360
But what’s the biggest?

303
00:13:13.360 –> 00:13:14.740
The biggest one’s the Leviathan, right?

304
00:13:14.960 –> 00:13:17.300
Oh, yeah. And that even that freaks me out, man.

305
00:13:17.340 –> 00:13:18.160
That thing is wild.

306
00:13:18.420 –> 00:13:21.040
That’s not that’s not that defines nature.

307
00:13:21.600 –> 00:13:26.000
So I was told I was told that they had fireworks a couple of weeks ago

308
00:13:26.000 –> 00:13:30.320
and that the fireworks are lower than the drop of the Leviathan.

309
00:13:30.640 –> 00:13:31.680
It’s insane. I’ve done it.

310
00:13:31.800 –> 00:13:35.000
I’ve been it’s so much fun, but it is absolutely wild.

311
00:13:35.000 –> 00:13:37.600
It must feel like a super wide one.

312
00:13:37.980 –> 00:13:40.940
The the is that the board on Striker or Yukon Striker?

313
00:13:40.940 –> 00:13:42.960
Yeah, I went to get in line with that one last week,

314
00:13:42.960 –> 00:13:45.360
but there was a huge lineup and I’m like, I have a season pass.

315
00:13:45.380 –> 00:13:46.440
I’ll catch it another time.

316
00:13:46.440 –> 00:13:48.300
I haven’t done it yet, but I’m dying to do it.

317
00:13:48.300 –> 00:13:50.680
I’m not somebody who will ride a roller coaster to begin with.

318
00:13:50.900 –> 00:13:54.140
But I feel like the people who are sitting out on the edges of that one.

319
00:13:54.960 –> 00:13:56.960
That’s got to be like really messed up.

320
00:13:56.960 –> 00:13:58.340
Oh, no, I’m a thrill seeker, man.

321
00:13:58.340 –> 00:14:00.220
I want I wanted the bigger the batter.

322
00:14:00.300 –> 00:14:01.840
And it scares the shit out of me, but I don’t care.

323
00:14:01.860 –> 00:14:02.740
That’s the fun of it, right?

324
00:14:02.780 –> 00:14:04.040
That’s why I kept saying to my little guys,

325
00:14:04.040 –> 00:14:07.280
we’ve got a vortex and like the fear is fun like that.

326
00:14:07.280 –> 00:14:08.460
That’s what you need to recognize.

327
00:14:08.600 –> 00:14:10.860
There’s there’s bad fear and there’s good fear.

328
00:14:11.080 –> 00:14:14.500
Roller coaster fear is the fun fear and you need to embrace it.

329
00:14:14.540 –> 00:14:16.440
Yeah, I have like a champ.

330
00:14:16.860 –> 00:14:18.100
I have I see.

331
00:14:18.260 –> 00:14:21.540
I feel like our bodies that there’s a cutoff at some point

332
00:14:21.540 –> 00:14:26.100
where then there’s like heart concerns and like now you’re at the point

333
00:14:26.100 –> 00:14:28.720
in that age that you need to shut that shit down.

334
00:14:28.720 –> 00:14:31.560
And like my cutoff was about 46 years ago.

335
00:14:32.380 –> 00:14:34.280
Yeah, you can’t pay me enough to get on one of those.

336
00:14:34.360 –> 00:14:35.060
What about you, Robbie?

337
00:14:35.240 –> 00:14:36.680
Can you would you go on a roller coaster?

338
00:14:37.420 –> 00:14:39.120
I do not like roller coasters.

339
00:14:39.460 –> 00:14:40.980
I don’t like the feeling.

340
00:14:40.980 –> 00:14:42.680
I don’t like. Yeah, I I’m not a fan.

341
00:14:42.760 –> 00:14:45.000
I like water parts. Yeah, sure.

342
00:14:45.240 –> 00:14:47.060
Me too. Yeah, me too.

343
00:14:47.480 –> 00:14:51.300
Now, Lazy Rivers is Alan’s that’s my that’s more my wild

344
00:14:51.300 –> 00:14:53.520
water kingdom with the hippo as a mascot.

345
00:14:53.740 –> 00:14:54.940
Is that place open anymore?

346
00:14:55.100 –> 00:14:57.000
It’s not called Wild Water Kingdom anymore.

347
00:14:57.020 –> 00:14:58.840
It’s called. Oh, God.

348
00:14:58.920 –> 00:15:00.200
Something else. It’s the same place.

349
00:15:00.200 –> 00:15:01.640
But it’s they really don’t.

350
00:15:01.640 –> 00:15:03.260
Do they still have the hippo as a mascot?

351
00:15:04.600 –> 00:15:06.380
No, maybe. I don’t remember.

352
00:15:06.780 –> 00:15:08.080
You’re not. Thanks.

353
00:15:08.520 –> 00:15:10.620
I’ll give that I’ll give that a good one job there, Matt.

354
00:15:10.640 –> 00:15:12.240
One job. All right.

355
00:15:12.320 –> 00:15:13.100
It wasn’t my job.

356
00:15:13.300 –> 00:15:14.080
I had a season.

357
00:15:14.360 –> 00:15:16.700
I had a season’s pass to that place when I was 18.

358
00:15:17.040 –> 00:15:20.240
We went only for the reason to hang out with the lifeguards.

359
00:15:20.280 –> 00:15:22.020
Right. Because each each.

360
00:15:22.580 –> 00:15:24.960
Yeah, but it feels redundant to have one now because they have this

361
00:15:24.960 –> 00:15:28.100
water park near us in Toronto here as well, which whatever we can’t think

362
00:15:28.740 –> 00:15:32.020
about at Wonderland, the amusement park also has a water park,

363
00:15:32.360 –> 00:15:36.520
which is almost on par to the independent water park.

364
00:15:36.540 –> 00:15:38.480
So you get access to the amusement park.

365
00:15:38.780 –> 00:15:39.880
You get access to everything.

366
00:15:40.180 –> 00:15:42.120
So it’s like, why would you go to both?

367
00:15:42.720 –> 00:15:44.460
Because you’re going to want to get because because you’re

368
00:15:44.460 –> 00:15:46.100
you either are going to do one or the other.

369
00:15:46.300 –> 00:15:48.900
There’s you know, you want to go and spend a nice relaxing day

370
00:15:48.900 –> 00:15:49.860
at the water park.

371
00:15:50.060 –> 00:15:52.760
You’re not going to go and then stand in these unreasonable lines

372
00:15:52.760 –> 00:15:54.060
to get on those stupid rides.

373
00:15:54.900 –> 00:15:57.000
You got to be in a mood like you.

374
00:15:57.000 –> 00:16:00.220
Plus, the thing about the wild water kingdom, whatever it’s called now,

375
00:16:00.340 –> 00:16:01.180
is that Brampton?

376
00:16:01.700 –> 00:16:04.220
Yeah. So it’s wet and wild now.

377
00:16:04.540 –> 00:16:05.400
Oh, that’s it.

378
00:16:05.760 –> 00:16:08.680
I thought one wild was just a different park all together.

379
00:16:08.860 –> 00:16:10.440
No, no, no. That’s the same.

380
00:16:10.440 –> 00:16:13.160
If it’s in Brampton, then it’s a slip and slide here, folks.

381
00:16:13.980 –> 00:16:15.420
OK, anyways, whatever.

382
00:16:15.860 –> 00:16:17.280
Anyways, we really went off the rails there.

383
00:16:17.420 –> 00:16:18.540
That’s all right. All good.

384
00:16:18.760 –> 00:16:19.780
Robbie, I know.

385
00:16:19.960 –> 00:16:22.800
I mean, you already kind of told us about yourself

386
00:16:22.800 –> 00:16:25.540
and you guys are looking forward to moving back.

387
00:16:25.540 –> 00:16:27.200
How’s your how’s your week been?

388
00:16:28.640 –> 00:16:29.040
Good.

389
00:16:30.000 –> 00:16:32.660
Before that, I don’t know if you guys just noticed someone in the chat said

390
00:16:32.660 –> 00:16:34.520
tomorrow is my mom’s birthday. Oh.

391
00:16:34.980 –> 00:16:37.920
And I feel like I would be a bad son if I didn’t ask everyone

392
00:16:37.920 –> 00:16:40.660
to wish her a happy birthday, because she’s watching on the live stream.

393
00:16:40.860 –> 00:16:44.100
Well, is she really heard my sister watching?

394
00:16:44.460 –> 00:16:45.260
Yeah. Oh, my God.

395
00:16:45.480 –> 00:16:46.340
Birthday, mom. Yeah.

396
00:16:46.360 –> 00:16:47.640
Happy birthday, Robbie’s mom.

397
00:16:47.700 –> 00:16:49.080
This is awesome. You’re watching.

398
00:16:49.220 –> 00:16:50.840
Then you’re you are a year wiser.

399
00:16:50.840 –> 00:16:51.740
Yeah. Congratulations.

400
00:16:52.520 –> 00:16:54.820
I am totally going to watch what I say now.

401
00:16:54.820 –> 00:16:55.620
Clean my mouth.

402
00:16:55.820 –> 00:16:56.820
Oh, no.

403
00:16:57.020 –> 00:16:58.280
Extended family support.

404
00:16:58.420 –> 00:17:00.880
We’re aware of. I love it.

405
00:17:00.880 –> 00:17:01.600
Yeah. No, you don’t.

406
00:17:01.660 –> 00:17:03.020
You do not need to watch your mouth.

407
00:17:04.920 –> 00:17:07.640
Wait, wait, wait to give us a disclaimer up front.

408
00:17:07.800 –> 00:17:08.200
I know, right?

409
00:17:08.400 –> 00:17:10.640
I’ll tell you my mom’s letter.

410
00:17:10.640 –> 00:17:11.579
Kenny origin story.

411
00:17:11.599 –> 00:17:15.500
Yes. Was in my sister’s on the stream as well.

412
00:17:15.619 –> 00:17:17.079
My sister already knew about letter, Kenny,

413
00:17:17.180 –> 00:17:21.200
but I introduced my mom by showing her a shirtless picture of Jared Kiso.

414
00:17:21.240 –> 00:17:23.920
OK. And the attention’s paid cold open.

415
00:17:23.920 –> 00:17:25.579
And I think she was sold.

416
00:17:26.579 –> 00:17:29.340
And so they actually, you know, months later,

417
00:17:29.340 –> 00:17:31.660
they went to one of the letter, Kenny wives.

418
00:17:31.860 –> 00:17:35.020
No, I think your mom is a goddamn rock star.

419
00:17:35.260 –> 00:17:36.880
She should be in the group.

420
00:17:37.100 –> 00:17:37.860
What’s going on here?

421
00:17:38.060 –> 00:17:39.620
Put her on the video. Call it in.

422
00:17:39.620 –> 00:17:41.360
Come on, mom. All right.

423
00:17:41.660 –> 00:17:42.820
Yeah. OK.

424
00:17:43.500 –> 00:17:45.900
Well, yeah, this this time of year is easy.

425
00:17:46.480 –> 00:17:48.560
I’m on a nine month contract, my university.

426
00:17:48.680 –> 00:17:51.080
So right now, I’m actually off work.

427
00:17:51.320 –> 00:17:53.900
I’m on, you know, unpaid vacation, I guess.

428
00:17:55.140 –> 00:17:56.920
And and so that’s easy.

429
00:17:57.380 –> 00:18:01.440
But the other side of it this week is my wife is at a week long conference.

430
00:18:01.460 –> 00:18:03.700
So I’m solo parenting. Oh, fine.

431
00:18:04.040 –> 00:18:06.740
And I don’t understand how single parents

432
00:18:06.740 –> 00:18:08.680
God know survive.

433
00:18:09.180 –> 00:18:10.480
It’s a lot out of you, eh?

434
00:18:10.780 –> 00:18:13.780
Yeah. Just solo parenting for a week is as a bunch.

435
00:18:14.180 –> 00:18:15.340
How many how many kids you got?

436
00:18:16.120 –> 00:18:17.100
Just one one.

437
00:18:18.020 –> 00:18:19.100
But one’s enough, right?

438
00:18:20.180 –> 00:18:23.560
Oh, I often describe him as having the personality of a border colleague.

439
00:18:24.620 –> 00:18:27.400
I mean, the kids never walked anywhere in his life.

440
00:18:27.560 –> 00:18:28.740
He runs everywhere.

441
00:18:29.420 –> 00:18:30.520
So how old is he?

442
00:18:31.460 –> 00:18:34.740
He’s five. Oh, busy, busy, busy, busy.

443
00:18:35.540 –> 00:18:36.720
Five busy time.

444
00:18:36.800 –> 00:18:39.900
All right. Well, you got him in bed just in time to record with us tonight.

445
00:18:40.200 –> 00:18:41.500
So well done, Dad.

446
00:18:41.760 –> 00:18:45.920
And so at any point, what what I what I’m hearing

447
00:18:45.920 –> 00:18:48.780
is that Matt and Robbie can get called away.

448
00:18:49.780 –> 00:18:52.060
Let’s hope not. Let’s hope.

449
00:18:52.060 –> 00:18:53.440
You need a sleeper.

450
00:18:54.220 –> 00:18:55.300
Oh, Matt’s got the monitor.

451
00:18:55.300 –> 00:18:56.760
Oh, my God, your baby.

452
00:18:57.680 –> 00:19:00.740
I got the monitor one hand and I put your eye on the other hand.

453
00:19:00.840 –> 00:19:02.260
So you’re you’re good parenting.

454
00:19:02.400 –> 00:19:03.100
Right. Right.

455
00:19:03.300 –> 00:19:06.980
I feel like Victor’s been been in meetings until since six a.m.

456
00:19:06.980 –> 00:19:08.600
So I figure he needs a coffee.

457
00:19:08.740 –> 00:19:11.900
So why don’t we listen to why don’t we hear from our sponsor?

458
00:19:12.040 –> 00:19:13.000
Here we go.

459
00:19:15.740 –> 00:19:16.760
Hey, there.

460
00:19:17.440 –> 00:19:19.280
Wait, what are we doing again?

461
00:19:19.720 –> 00:19:20.560
The sponsor read.

462
00:19:21.420 –> 00:19:23.320
OK. Wait, we have a sponsor.

463
00:19:23.800 –> 00:19:24.800
Yes, it’s Eric.

464
00:19:25.740 –> 00:19:27.120
Oh, I know, Eric. He’s a good guy.

465
00:19:27.300 –> 00:19:29.560
I know. Did you know he sells coffee?

466
00:19:29.860 –> 00:19:32.760
Yes, of course. I think it’s called diabolical coffee.

467
00:19:32.960 –> 00:19:35.600
Can we just it’s devilishly good coffee.

468
00:19:35.880 –> 00:19:39.120
You don’t say he also sells diabolically awesome swag.

469
00:19:39.280 –> 00:19:41.460
Terrific. He’s got a roast for all tastes.

470
00:19:41.560 –> 00:19:42.140
Is that right?

471
00:19:42.480 –> 00:19:46.480
Yeah, you can order a whole bean course, standard grind and espresso.

472
00:19:46.480 –> 00:19:47.760
It’s espresso, but whatever.

473
00:19:47.760 –> 00:19:50.480
Hey, don’t you intend to use K cups?

474
00:19:50.780 –> 00:19:51.520
You know, we do.

475
00:19:51.740 –> 00:19:54.500
I think he has those two. Wonderful.

476
00:19:54.820 –> 00:19:58.220
Imagine if we could use promo code like Kodastan to get 10 percent

477
00:19:58.220 –> 00:20:00.000
off coffee or merge from a store.

478
00:20:00.380 –> 00:20:01.800
Yes, that would be cool.

479
00:20:02.100 –> 00:20:04.020
Wait a minute. I just had a brilliant idea.

480
00:20:04.220 –> 00:20:04.860
What’s that?

481
00:20:05.140 –> 00:20:07.960
We should get the coffee to sponsor the podcast.

482
00:20:08.240 –> 00:20:09.040
I should. Yes.

483
00:20:09.560 –> 00:20:11.280
Why have we never thought of that before?

484
00:20:11.520 –> 00:20:12.420
I give up.

485
00:20:14.480 –> 00:20:18.200
Thank you, Eric, and the coffee and Victor for that

486
00:20:18.720 –> 00:20:20.940
inspired. That is bloody brilliant.

487
00:20:21.960 –> 00:20:23.120
Oh, Victor.

488
00:20:24.160 –> 00:20:27.100

00:22:00.680 –> 00:22:02.340
An uncons… Oh, great timing for that.

520
00:22:02.400 –> 00:22:05.680
And that was like months ago that he would have started following us.

521
00:22:05.880 –> 00:22:10.340

Thank you for following and hopefully for listening.

527
00:22:29.780 –> 00:22:31.280
Where the hell’s my previously?

528
00:22:31.540 –> 00:22:32.440
God damn it.

529
00:22:32.460 –> 00:22:34.240
It’s been too long.

530
00:22:34.240 –> 00:22:35.960
Previously on Letter Kenny.

531
00:22:36.400 –> 00:22:36.700
Yeah, yeah.

532
00:22:38.020 –> 00:22:38.880
Matt, gotcha. It’s gone.

533
00:22:38.880 –> 00:22:41.360
It’s OK. I did it.

534
00:22:41.360 –> 00:22:42.800
Fine. You don’t need a button.

535
00:22:42.880 –> 00:22:43.720
You got a man.

536
00:22:44.020 –> 00:22:45.320
I think the biggest story.

537
00:22:45.500 –> 00:22:47.620
Well, the fact that it’s not here, though, is very concerning.

538
00:22:48.600 –> 00:22:49.640
You only have one job.

539
00:22:49.800 –> 00:22:51.420
I know. Well, do you see it?

540
00:22:51.740 –> 00:22:53.180
Oh, there it is.

541
00:22:53.420 –> 00:22:54.960
Previously on letter.

542
00:22:55.260 –> 00:22:58.240
Last week, we held our first egg all social in months.

543
00:22:58.360 –> 00:23:00.340
It was really great to catch up with our listeners.

544
00:23:00.380 –> 00:23:01.700
We had a lot of fun this week.

545
00:23:01.700 –> 00:23:03.700
We begin our highly anticipated.

546
00:23:03.700 –> 00:23:07.400
Well, by us in a recap and reviews of Shorzy,

547
00:23:07.400 –> 00:23:09.120
beginning with episode one.

548
00:23:09.260 –> 00:23:10.160
Never lose again.

549
00:23:10.340 –> 00:23:11.100
I’ve done my homework.

550
00:23:11.200 –> 00:23:12.320
Victor, have you done your homework?

551
00:23:12.620 –> 00:23:14.220
It is 10.

552
00:23:14.220 –> 00:23:15.140
Have you done your homework?

553
00:23:15.320 –> 00:23:17.480
Shorzy. Come on, Shorzy.

554
00:23:17.860 –> 00:23:20.040
We’re finally watching Shorzy.

555
00:23:20.160 –> 00:23:21.860
We’re watching shows again, people.

556
00:23:22.220 –> 00:23:24.300
Of course, I watch. I watch it twice.

557
00:23:24.500 –> 00:23:25.600
Matt, have you done your homework?

558
00:23:25.880 –> 00:23:26.300
I did.

559
00:23:26.640 –> 00:23:29.840
This is the first like show review we’ve done in a while.

560
00:23:29.840 –> 00:23:31.760
I know it’s feeling weird, isn’t it?

561
00:23:31.760 –> 00:23:34.420
It occurred to me and I get some energy, people.

562
00:23:34.600 –> 00:23:35.340
Come on.

563
00:23:35.820 –> 00:23:36.600
I forgot what it is.

564
00:23:36.600 –> 00:23:37.280
Here we do it, Ryan.

565
00:23:37.480 –> 00:23:40.900
Oh, and Robbie, have you done your homework?

566
00:23:42.040 –> 00:23:42.300
Yes.

567
00:23:42.740 –> 00:23:43.680
Oh, he’s got notes.

568
00:23:43.820 –> 00:23:45.200
Excellent. So here we go.

569
00:23:45.400 –> 00:23:46.180
Well, don’t bore us.

570
00:23:46.260 –> 00:23:46.980
Get to the chorus.

571
00:23:47.300 –> 00:23:51.420
We open with a hockey panel discussion called

572
00:23:51.420 –> 00:23:53.760
Bro Dude Presents Questionable Call.

573
00:23:54.080 –> 00:23:56.340
The show is hosted by Anik Archambault.

574
00:23:56.620 –> 00:23:58.440
Yes, the same Anik from Letter Kenny,

575
00:23:58.660 –> 00:24:00.160
played by Kim Cloutier.

576
00:24:00.920 –> 00:24:03.660
Also on the panel are Olympic hockey

577
00:24:03.660 –> 00:24:05.980
gold medalist, Tessa Banum, playing herself.

578
00:24:05.980 –> 00:24:08.260
She’s also appeared on Letter Kenny as herself

579
00:24:08.260 –> 00:24:10.420
during the senior men’s hockey championship episodes.

580
00:24:11.020 –> 00:24:14.720
Brian McGonigal, AKA Rear Admiral,

581
00:24:14.940 –> 00:24:17.680
from the Real Life Hockey podcast

582
00:24:17.680 –> 00:24:19.200
called Spit and Chicklets.

583
00:24:19.560 –> 00:24:20.720
And he’s also playing himself.

584
00:24:20.980 –> 00:24:23.200
And Jay Onright from TSN Sports Center,

585
00:24:23.240 –> 00:24:23.920
playing himself.

586
00:24:24.400 –> 00:24:26.900
There seems to be a little verbal jabbing

587
00:24:26.900 –> 00:24:29.840
going on between Jay Onright and Anik.

588
00:24:30.320 –> 00:24:32.820
And last and least, the big shot.

589
00:24:32.880 –> 00:24:33.380
Big shot?

590
00:24:33.600 –> 00:24:34.880
Formerly a Fox Sports one.

591
00:24:34.880 –> 00:24:37.000
And I think you mean last but not least, Anik.

592
00:24:37.160 –> 00:24:37.360
No.

593
00:24:37.960 –> 00:24:39.900
Host of Sports Center with Mr. Jay Onright.

594
00:24:40.100 –> 00:24:40.640
That’s Onright.

595
00:24:40.840 –> 00:24:41.620
Mr. Jay Onright.

596
00:24:42.020 –> 00:24:43.580
Little language barrier there, I think.

597
00:24:43.640 –> 00:24:44.220
It’s fine.

598
00:24:44.840 –> 00:24:46.700
The first question up for discussion by the panel

599
00:24:46.700 –> 00:24:48.940
is what’s the dirtiest play in hockey?

600
00:24:49.380 –> 00:24:50.800
Tessa answers that it’s the slew foot,

601
00:24:50.880 –> 00:24:52.960
which is when a player kicks another player’s feet

602
00:24:52.960 –> 00:24:53.900
out from under them.

603
00:24:54.700 –> 00:24:56.560
R.A.’s answer is going knee on knee,

604
00:24:56.800 –> 00:24:58.820
citing an instance where Alf Samuelson

605
00:24:58.820 –> 00:25:00.980
hit his hero Cam Neely with a knee on knee hit.

606
00:25:02.140 –> 00:25:03.840
Anik fakes going to Jay

607
00:25:03.840 –> 00:25:06.040
before denying him his turn and giving her answer,

608
00:25:06.080 –> 00:25:07.600
which is submarineing,

609
00:25:07.900 –> 00:25:10.140
which then when a player avoids getting hit

610
00:25:10.140 –> 00:25:11.340
by getting very low,

611
00:25:11.340 –> 00:25:13.420
causing the would-be checker to launch over him.

612
00:25:13.620 –> 00:25:15.440
And then finally, Jay gets his turn.

613
00:25:15.680 –> 00:25:17.120
His answer is a sucker punch,

614
00:25:17.440 –> 00:25:19.020
which is self-explanatory.

615
00:25:19.900 –> 00:25:22.160
Anik calls slew footing, submarineing,

616
00:25:22.180 –> 00:25:24.520
and sucker punching the Brad Marchand hat trick,

617
00:25:24.540 –> 00:25:25.480
which I completely agree,

618
00:25:25.480 –> 00:25:27.460
because there’s no dirtier player than Brad Marchand.

619
00:25:28.340 –> 00:25:30.980
The second question the panel tackles

620
00:25:30.980 –> 00:25:33.560
is who is the dirtiest player of all time?

621
00:25:34.480 –> 00:25:35.840
Jay says it’s Chris Pronger,

622
00:25:36.040 –> 00:25:37.640
Anik says it’s Dino Ciccarelli,

623
00:25:37.800 –> 00:25:39.260
and R.A. says it’s Alf Samuelson,

624
00:25:39.320 –> 00:25:41.780
but Tessa goes off the board with her pick.

625
00:25:42.240 –> 00:25:44.520
The dirtiest player by far of all time

626
00:25:44.520 –> 00:25:45.560
is a dude called-

627
00:25:45.560 –> 00:25:45.980
Shorzy?

628
00:25:46.340 –> 00:25:46.640
Who?

629
00:25:47.020 –> 00:25:47.500
Shorzy.

630
00:25:47.720 –> 00:25:48.020
Him.

631
00:25:48.420 –> 00:25:48.900
Shorzy.

632
00:25:49.320 –> 00:25:50.100
Yeah, I watch the cover

633
00:25:50.100 –> 00:25:51.640
to that national senior championship.

634
00:25:51.860 –> 00:25:53.320
If he’s that dirty all the time,

635
00:25:53.400 –> 00:25:54.100
like how dirty?

636
00:25:54.180 –> 00:25:55.160
Well, he’s going to get you.

637
00:25:56.220 –> 00:25:57.880
He doesn’t care who you are.

638
00:25:58.900 –> 00:26:00.220
He doesn’t even have to be on the ice.

639
00:26:01.580 –> 00:26:02.600
So he’s a pest.

640
00:26:02.940 –> 00:26:04.820
Well, with pests they always say you’d love them

641
00:26:04.820 –> 00:26:05.800
if they were on your team,

642
00:26:06.100 –> 00:26:06.780
but no.

643
00:26:07.140 –> 00:26:09.140
His stick budget must be stupid,

644
00:26:09.340 –> 00:26:10.920
because he breaks one or two

645
00:26:10.920 –> 00:26:12.280
and gives them more of something,

646
00:26:13.180 –> 00:26:13.980
or someone.

647
00:26:16.390 –> 00:26:18.630
I texted Biz and Whit to get the load on this guy,

648
00:26:18.910 –> 00:26:20.050
and a couple of their boys played with him

649
00:26:20.050 –> 00:26:20.650
back in the day,

650
00:26:21.170 –> 00:26:22.510
and Biz says nothing personal here,

651
00:26:22.510 –> 00:26:24.270
but apparently he cries a lot.

652
00:26:25.330 –> 00:26:25.950
During the anthem,

653
00:26:26.110 –> 00:26:27.210
it’s full waterworks city

654
00:26:27.210 –> 00:26:28.650
like he’s watching beaches or something.

655
00:26:28.710 –> 00:26:29.610
And that’s just-

656
00:26:29.610 –> 00:26:30.390
I’m not done yet.

657
00:26:30.390 –> 00:26:32.910
He also likes to take a shit before every game,

658
00:26:33.250 –> 00:26:35.090
and also between every period.

659
00:26:35.230 –> 00:26:35.950
As I was saying,

660
00:26:36.010 –> 00:26:37.490
that’s just the on-ice stuff.

661
00:26:37.710 –> 00:26:38.990
The off-ice stuff,

662
00:26:39.530 –> 00:26:40.850
from what I’m told is crazy.

663
00:26:41.010 –> 00:26:41.410
Oh, crazy.

664
00:26:41.730 –> 00:26:43.550
His patented move was going up behind guys

665
00:26:43.550 –> 00:26:45.390
when they’re hanging a piss at the urinal,

666
00:26:45.750 –> 00:26:47.050
bouncing their heads off the wall.

667
00:26:47.710 –> 00:26:49.110
Called that thing a potty kiss.

668
00:26:49.230 –> 00:26:49.650
What’s that about?

669
00:26:49.850 –> 00:26:50.890
He does this thing

670
00:26:50.890 –> 00:26:52.910
that just drove me nuts during interviews too,

671
00:26:53.170 –> 00:26:54.730
where he’d ask a question,

672
00:26:54.810 –> 00:26:55.810
then right after he’d go,

673
00:26:56.110 –> 00:26:56.350
huh?

674
00:26:56.350 –> 00:26:56.570
Huh?

675
00:26:56.930 –> 00:26:57.690
Look, we’ll try it.

676
00:26:57.690 –> 00:26:58.870
Okay, I’m going to ask you a question.

677
00:26:59.110 –> 00:26:59.950
You answer it, okay?

678
00:27:00.570 –> 00:27:03.330
Don’t you think hockey’s getting a little soft?

679
00:27:03.690 –> 00:27:04.190
Well, I-

680
00:27:04.190 –> 00:27:04.470
Huh?

681
00:27:05.670 –> 00:27:06.530
Where’s this guy now?

682
00:27:06.710 –> 00:27:08.530
I was in a golf tournament with the Felinos this summer,

683
00:27:08.570 –> 00:27:09.470
and they said he was playing

684
00:27:09.470 –> 00:27:11.210
senior way up north in their town.

685
00:27:11.390 –> 00:27:12.210
That’s my town.

686
00:27:12.450 –> 00:27:12.790
Sudbury?

687
00:27:13.070 –> 00:27:14.070
Born and raised, baby.

688
00:27:14.110 –> 00:27:14.990
Sudbury, Ontario,

689
00:27:15.210 –> 00:27:17.630
probably one of the toughest towns you’ll ever be in.

690
00:27:17.930 –> 00:27:18.850
Pertuzzi’s from up there.

691
00:27:19.110 –> 00:27:20.230
There is an impossible amount

692
00:27:20.230 –> 00:27:21.510
of good-looking girls in Sudbury.

693
00:27:21.630 –> 00:27:22.410
Take a lap, Jay.

694
00:27:22.630 –> 00:27:24.470
There’s a four-team senior league up in the area.

695
00:27:24.670 –> 00:27:26.950
Wait, so they only play three other teams all year?

696
00:27:27.130 –> 00:27:29.750
The Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization.

697
00:27:29.750 –> 00:27:32.370
Otherwise known as the No Show.

698
00:27:32.550 –> 00:27:33.550
Can you imagine how much those guys

699
00:27:33.550 –> 00:27:34.550
want to kill each other?

700
00:27:34.950 –> 00:27:35.810
Well, sure as he’s a killer.

701
00:27:36.170 –> 00:27:37.370
Sounds like he’s in the right place.

702
00:27:39.170 –> 00:27:40.390
Senior hockey hell.

703
00:27:43.050 –> 00:27:44.990
All right, I know that was a very long clip.

704
00:27:45.090 –> 00:27:46.370
Did you just run the whole clip?

705
00:27:46.450 –> 00:27:48.110
No, no, it wasn’t the whole cold open,

706
00:27:48.150 –> 00:27:48.910
but it was a long clip.

707
00:27:49.130 –> 00:27:50.130
But I had to run it

708
00:27:50.130 –> 00:27:52.330
because it had too much important information

709
00:27:52.330 –> 00:27:54.030
that sets up the entire series.

710
00:27:54.310 –> 00:27:55.410
So I had to run it

711
00:27:55.410 –> 00:27:57.290
because we learn a lot in this clip,

712
00:27:57.310 –> 00:27:58.770
and we’ll talk about that in a second.

713
00:27:59.050 –> 00:28:00.930
But just a quick production note here,

714
00:28:00.930 –> 00:28:03.750
the Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization,

715
00:28:04.410 –> 00:28:05.070
also the No Show,

716
00:28:05.110 –> 00:28:07.010
which is the perfect acronym for this,

717
00:28:07.450 –> 00:28:08.950
does not exist, obviously.

718
00:28:09.570 –> 00:28:12.230
There is a hockey team in Sudbury called the Bulldogs,

719
00:28:12.250 –> 00:28:13.970
but it’s a minor Pee Wee team

720
00:28:13.970 –> 00:28:16.650
in the Windsor Minor Hockey Association.

721
00:28:16.770 –> 00:28:18.750
So this is a completely fictional league

722
00:28:18.750 –> 00:28:21.870
with the perfect name though, the No Show League.

723
00:28:23.130 –> 00:28:24.850
So that’s the cold open.

724
00:28:25.550 –> 00:28:29.050
And again, I kept the long clip in

725
00:28:29.050 –> 00:28:30.010
because we learned so much.

726
00:28:30.010 –> 00:28:31.950
We learned about Schorzy, we learned he’s a crier.

727
00:28:32.710 –> 00:28:34.190
We learned about, you know,

728
00:28:34.330 –> 00:28:38.430
Sudbury having impossibly a lot of great looking women.

729
00:28:39.330 –> 00:28:40.730
We learned so much, right?

730
00:28:40.730 –> 00:28:42.950
So I couldn’t really cut it short.

731
00:28:43.030 –> 00:28:45.370
So now, obviously, if you guys remember,

732
00:28:45.370 –> 00:28:47.510
this is where we talk about the cold open.

733
00:28:47.930 –> 00:28:49.330
I love this cold open, obviously,

734
00:28:49.350 –> 00:28:51.190
because it’s setting everything up

735
00:28:51.190 –> 00:28:53.390
and it touches all the points.

736
00:28:54.190 –> 00:28:56.670
And it sets up the series perfectly,

737
00:28:56.670 –> 00:28:59.330
and it gives us what to expect from Schorzy,

738
00:28:59.330 –> 00:29:02.610
which, you know, up until now, we didn’t know what to expect

739
00:29:02.610 –> 00:29:05.010
because all we’ve ever heard is the high-pitched chirping

740
00:29:05.010 –> 00:29:06.270
and never seeing his face.

741
00:29:06.610 –> 00:29:09.550
And now we see already a different side to him,

742
00:29:09.570 –> 00:29:10.830
even though, like they’re saying

743
00:29:10.830 –> 00:29:12.250
he’s a dirty player and stuff,

744
00:29:12.550 –> 00:29:14.110
there’s already some of those quirks

745
00:29:14.110 –> 00:29:15.330
that we’re gonna hear about,

746
00:29:15.790 –> 00:29:18.830
that he asks a question and follows it up immediately

747
00:29:18.830 –> 00:29:21.410
with, huh, before you can answer.

748
00:29:21.670 –> 00:29:24.210
Like all these little kind of character traits

749
00:29:24.210 –> 00:29:27.630
that are gonna come back and haunt or delight us,

750
00:29:27.690 –> 00:29:28.630
however you look at them.

751
00:29:28.630 –> 00:29:30.250
It was a lot of fun.

752
00:29:30.370 –> 00:29:32.570
So I think this is a really well-done cold open

753
00:29:32.570 –> 00:29:34.330
to set up the series.

754
00:29:35.190 –> 00:29:35.890
Victor, what do you think?

755
00:29:36.870 –> 00:29:38.630
Yeah, I mean, you know, for me,

756
00:29:38.630 –> 00:29:40.250
I love the subject matter, right?

757
00:29:40.370 –> 00:29:41.690
So it’s totally…

758
00:29:41.690 –> 00:29:44.430
I think it’s important that you…

759
00:29:44.430 –> 00:29:45.110
A couple of things.

760
00:29:45.110 –> 00:29:47.910
I think it helps if you know who the people are.

761
00:29:48.330 –> 00:29:50.490
Obviously, if you’re watching Letter Can you know

762
00:29:50.490 –> 00:29:52.750
who Nick is, but for you to kind of just know

763
00:29:52.750 –> 00:29:54.590
who Jay is and Tessa,

764
00:29:54.910 –> 00:29:56.410
even though she was in that episode,

765
00:29:56.630 –> 00:29:57.530
I think it helps.

766
00:29:57.530 –> 00:29:59.470
And then just knowing the references, right?

767
00:29:59.530 –> 00:30:00.990
So they’re talking about hockey players

768
00:30:00.990 –> 00:30:02.850
that, again, to an American audience

769
00:30:02.850 –> 00:30:05.530
that doesn’t necessarily follow hockey,

770
00:30:07.450 –> 00:30:09.710
there’s like one of the biggest,

771
00:30:09.790 –> 00:30:12.710
most anticipated games that’s happening tonight

772
00:30:12.710 –> 00:30:14.430
between Edmonton and Colorado,

773
00:30:14.690 –> 00:30:16.710
two of the biggest hockey stars in hockey,

774
00:30:16.910 –> 00:30:18.010
McKinnon against McDavid.

775
00:30:19.230 –> 00:30:22.810
And there was like one of the commentators

776
00:30:22.810 –> 00:30:25.430
taking an Uber to the arena for this game.

777
00:30:25.430 –> 00:30:28.430
And then he’s asking the Uber driver saying,

778
00:30:28.570 –> 00:30:29.590
so where are you going here for?

779
00:30:29.930 –> 00:30:32.330
The nuggets are out of the playoffs.

780
00:30:32.530 –> 00:30:34.510
You know what I mean?

781
00:30:34.610 –> 00:30:36.410
So it’s like a completely different perspective

782
00:30:36.410 –> 00:30:38.630
from Canada to the United States.

783
00:30:38.970 –> 00:30:41.150
So I think it helps to kind of to know

784
00:30:41.150 –> 00:30:41.950
who the players are,

785
00:30:42.070 –> 00:30:43.690
even though reference to the Foligno brothers

786
00:30:43.690 –> 00:30:44.750
and stuff like that.

787
00:30:45.330 –> 00:30:46.430
So for someone like myself,

788
00:30:46.430 –> 00:30:47.490
someone who’s…

789
00:30:47.490 –> 00:30:49.730
It’s just, it’s that much more meaningful, right?

790
00:30:49.790 –> 00:30:51.070
It’s like when they’re talking about wrestlers

791
00:30:51.070 –> 00:30:52.070
and you know who they are,

792
00:30:52.130 –> 00:30:53.870
as opposed to somebody who doesn’t follow wrestling,

793
00:30:54.050 –> 00:30:54.750
it’s like whatever.

794
00:30:54.750 –> 00:30:57.370
So I think this really worked for people

795
00:30:57.370 –> 00:30:58.810
that are into hockey, right?

796
00:30:58.830 –> 00:31:02.910
So this was like a perfect, great cold open

797
00:31:02.910 –> 00:31:05.970
if hockey is your thing and hockey is my thing.

798
00:31:06.010 –> 00:31:06.770
So I love it.

799
00:31:07.070 –> 00:31:08.710
I think it works either way.

800
00:31:08.710 –> 00:31:10.090
I think it works if you’re into hockey

801
00:31:10.090 –> 00:31:11.890
because there’s a lot of that inside hockey stuff.

802
00:31:11.910 –> 00:31:12.650
But if you’re not,

803
00:31:12.930 –> 00:31:14.510
I think there’s enough that we’ll find out.

804
00:31:14.550 –> 00:31:15.370
I think there’s enough there

805
00:31:15.370 –> 00:31:17.750
if you’re not a hockey fan that you’d still enjoyed it.

806
00:31:17.750 –> 00:31:18.510
But what did you think, Tan?

807
00:31:18.530 –> 00:31:19.230
Hard to say.

808
00:31:20.870 –> 00:31:24.330
So before we get into the Shorzy part of things,

809
00:31:25.670 –> 00:31:28.050
and Nick, you know,

810
00:31:28.230 –> 00:31:32.290
breaking Jay O’Reilly’s balls there at the beginning.

811
00:31:32.910 –> 00:31:35.550
Do we know what the backstory is between those two?

812
00:31:35.970 –> 00:31:37.190
Like, am I forgetting something?

813
00:31:37.410 –> 00:31:37.810
No, there’s nothing.

814
00:31:37.890 –> 00:31:38.550
There’s no backstory.

815
00:31:38.870 –> 00:31:40.310
I think she’s angry at him

816
00:31:40.310 –> 00:31:43.170
because she made a reference to going to Fox Sports,

817
00:31:43.330 –> 00:31:43.490
right?

818
00:31:43.490 –> 00:31:45.950
How he kind of went to try and do his big thing

819
00:31:45.950 –> 00:31:47.550
in the States and then came back

820
00:31:47.550 –> 00:31:48.710
with his tail between his legs.

821
00:31:48.710 –> 00:31:50.910
So I think maybe she’s kind of angry at him

822
00:31:50.910 –> 00:31:52.290
for turning his back on Canada.

823
00:31:53.370 –> 00:31:54.190
I don’t know about that.

824
00:31:54.190 –> 00:31:54.790
I think he’s just-

825
00:31:54.790 –> 00:31:55.430
Was that in Letter Kenny?

826
00:31:55.450 –> 00:31:56.050
No, it wasn’t.

827
00:31:56.150 –> 00:31:57.750
No, that’s a real life reference.

828
00:31:58.010 –> 00:31:59.010
Like he’s-

829
00:31:59.010 –> 00:32:01.110
But he’s a real life character in the show.

830
00:32:01.250 –> 00:32:01.490
Yeah.

831
00:32:02.030 –> 00:32:02.670
No, I know.

832
00:32:03.150 –> 00:32:04.970
But Tanya’s thinking that maybe she missed something

833
00:32:04.970 –> 00:32:08.430
in Letter Kenny that would have set up this animosity

834
00:32:08.430 –> 00:32:09.470
between the two characters.

835
00:32:09.490 –> 00:32:10.050
I don’t think so.

836
00:32:10.090 –> 00:32:11.590
I think he’s just the kind of character

837
00:32:12.610 –> 00:32:14.690
that can either rub you-

838
00:32:14.690 –> 00:32:17.250
Like, I love the power moves she had on him,

839
00:32:17.250 –> 00:32:20.010
but I just didn’t know if there was a backstory

840
00:32:20.010 –> 00:32:22.050
that we were missing out on

841
00:32:22.050 –> 00:32:24.150
as to why she was cutting him short.

842
00:32:24.250 –> 00:32:25.170
No, he’s just a goof

843
00:32:25.170 –> 00:32:26.470
and I think she treated him that way.

844
00:32:26.530 –> 00:32:27.050
That’s all.

845
00:32:27.150 –> 00:32:27.810
All right.

846
00:32:27.810 –> 00:32:30.290
Maybe they dated and he didn’t pay for the meal.

847
00:32:30.730 –> 00:32:30.810
Maybe.

848
00:32:31.410 –> 00:32:32.010
That’s a, yeah.

849
00:32:32.010 –> 00:32:33.750
But that would be very inside baseball

850
00:32:33.750 –> 00:32:35.070
and nothing we would know.

851
00:32:35.310 –> 00:32:38.070
What did you think of the overall cold open though?

852
00:32:38.110 –> 00:32:40.070
Yeah, so the-

853
00:32:40.070 –> 00:32:40.370
So yeah, so.

854
00:32:40.830 –> 00:32:41.870
Yeah, yeah, so.

855
00:32:42.110 –> 00:32:43.070
So yeah, so.

856
00:32:43.710 –> 00:32:44.810
So yeah, so.

857
00:32:45.470 –> 00:32:48.230
I love the Shorzy rundown

858
00:32:48.230 –> 00:32:50.590
and them going around the table

859
00:32:50.590 –> 00:32:54.250
and giving us more and more of his character

860
00:32:54.250 –> 00:32:58.990
and who he is and his crying, his shitting,

861
00:33:01.570 –> 00:33:03.970
his before and after game ceremonies.

862
00:33:05.050 –> 00:33:06.310
I thought that was really good.

863
00:33:07.370 –> 00:33:08.110
What was I gonna say?

864
00:33:08.710 –> 00:33:09.790
The Shorzy rundown.

865
00:33:10.350 –> 00:33:10.930
You were asking-

866
00:33:10.930 –> 00:33:12.730
Oh, you know what I appreciated?

867
00:33:13.270 –> 00:33:16.630
That they were giving the dirty plays,

868
00:33:16.870 –> 00:33:18.010
like the submarineing and stuff,

869
00:33:18.010 –> 00:33:20.010
and I have no idea what submarineing is,

870
00:33:20.010 –> 00:33:22.730
and then they gave the visual of what it was.

871
00:33:22.730 –> 00:33:23.430
Yeah, they showed it.

872
00:33:23.570 –> 00:33:24.030
Yeah, that was great.

873
00:33:24.150 –> 00:33:26.670
So that was really helpful and I appreciated that

874
00:33:26.670 –> 00:33:31.270
because otherwise I’d be not interested in it at all

875
00:33:31.270 –> 00:33:33.190
because it was hockey references

876
00:33:33.190 –> 00:33:35.050
and I was like, I don’t know what that is,

877
00:33:35.050 –> 00:33:37.530
but seeing it, it did bring me in.

878
00:33:37.570 –> 00:33:40.630
So to answer your question, I’m not a hockey person,

879
00:33:40.630 –> 00:33:42.750
but I was still interested in this.

880
00:33:42.770 –> 00:33:43.090
Okay.

881
00:33:43.090 –> 00:33:44.370
Well, what did you have to say, Matt?

882
00:33:45.450 –> 00:33:47.030
Well, you know, I’m a massive sports guy.

883
00:33:47.650 –> 00:33:47.910
So-

884
00:33:48.970 –> 00:33:50.130
Very much so.

885
00:33:51.670 –> 00:33:54.610
No, so I think they had to do this.

886
00:33:56.170 –> 00:33:57.350
I make that joke because obviously

887
00:33:57.350 –> 00:33:58.370
I’m not a big sports guy,

888
00:33:58.450 –> 00:34:00.630
but I always said I love sports movies

889
00:34:00.630 –> 00:34:02.270
and stories around sports.

890
00:34:02.450 –> 00:34:04.470
So I think Shorzy is gonna work really well for me

891
00:34:04.470 –> 00:34:05.430
from that perspective.

892
00:34:06.590 –> 00:34:08.290
The whole setup, I think was fine.

893
00:34:08.350 –> 00:34:09.630
I wanted to laugh more,

894
00:34:09.630 –> 00:34:11.090
but I get why they did it.

895
00:34:11.330 –> 00:34:14.590
They’re giving us a six episode season of something

896
00:34:14.590 –> 00:34:17.989
around a character we know very little about

897
00:34:17.989 –> 00:34:19.630
because all he’s done is, like you said already,

898
00:34:20.070 –> 00:34:22.130
chirped for 10 seasons, right?

899
00:34:22.250 –> 00:34:24.050
We don’t know, he’s just an asshole.

900
00:34:25.170 –> 00:34:26.590
No, turn my mic down, sorry.

901
00:34:28.190 –> 00:34:30.630
Okay, I sent that like discreetly

902
00:34:30.630 –> 00:34:32.190
so you wouldn’t stop talking,

903
00:34:32.570 –> 00:34:33.350
you’d do it afterwards.

904
00:34:33.530 –> 00:34:35.190
Did I go up or down there?

905
00:34:35.810 –> 00:34:37.570
I think you’re fine now, you’re better now.

906
00:34:37.770 –> 00:34:38.110
Okay, thank you.

907
00:34:38.760 –> 00:34:40.409
This is a safe place here.

908
00:34:40.409 –> 00:34:41.030
Oh, geez.

909
00:34:42.909 –> 00:34:44.310
Hal doesn’t wanna edit.

910
00:34:44.610 –> 00:34:46.909
I told you, I mean, whatever’s on the teleprompter.

911
00:34:48.090 –> 00:34:49.850
I read anything that’s on there.

912
00:34:50.070 –> 00:34:50.969
Quick, send him something.

913
00:34:51.770 –> 00:34:54.370
So, yeah, no, it was great.

914
00:34:54.530 –> 00:34:56.429
I think, yeah, I was saying, it was very necessary.

915
00:34:56.570 –> 00:34:58.130
I think they really set the stage

916
00:34:58.130 –> 00:35:02.510
and this was there out for not having us

917
00:35:02.510 –> 00:35:03.790
ask a thousand questions

918
00:35:03.790 –> 00:35:05.650
as we got into the meat of the story.

919
00:35:05.670 –> 00:35:07.430
They filled in all those little blanks,

920
00:35:07.430 –> 00:35:09.370
gave you little nuances, told you about Shorzy,

921
00:35:09.630 –> 00:35:12.570
what to expect, and of course played to his character.

922
00:35:12.650 –> 00:35:15.650
The guy is a douche and he does these crazy ass things

923
00:35:15.650 –> 00:35:18.390
and didn’t hide away from that at all.

924
00:35:19.010 –> 00:35:19.950
So, no, I thought it was great.

925
00:35:19.970 –> 00:35:21.690
I liked that they brought back Tessa Benham.

926
00:35:22.790 –> 00:35:23.730
That was great.

927
00:35:23.930 –> 00:35:26.350
And Nick, I thought it was an interesting move,

928
00:35:26.350 –> 00:35:27.510
but I love her more.

929
00:35:27.770 –> 00:35:28.930
I don’t know, every time I see her,

930
00:35:28.950 –> 00:35:30.150
I fall in love with her a little bit more.

931
00:35:30.770 –> 00:35:32.130
So, and I think she’s great.

932
00:35:32.230 –> 00:35:33.750
I had the same question you did, Tani.

933
00:35:33.790 –> 00:35:35.810
I’m like, I don’t understand the reference here

934
00:35:35.810 –> 00:35:38.750
and why she so has her hate on for Jay,

935
00:35:38.990 –> 00:35:40.950
but it made me laugh.

936
00:35:40.970 –> 00:35:42.950
And then I liked that he kept trying to get in there

937
00:35:42.950 –> 00:35:43.970
and she just kept cutting him off.

938
00:35:44.290 –> 00:35:47.390
So, no, I thought it was a fantastic way to start all in

939
00:35:47.390 –> 00:35:49.710
and it set the stage for what was coming

940
00:35:49.710 –> 00:35:51.350
and that’s all we can ask for.

941
00:35:52.050 –> 00:35:53.810
So just a little background on Jay and Dan,

942
00:35:53.910 –> 00:35:56.410
which were the comedy duo on Sports Center.

943
00:35:57.250 –> 00:35:59.530
Jay Onrey, he kind of plays the goofy guy

944
00:35:59.530 –> 00:36:00.890
and Dan was the straight man.

945
00:36:01.250 –> 00:36:04.410
So, he always had that personality where you would,

946
00:36:04.410 –> 00:36:05.930
that’s how you would treat him

947
00:36:05.930 –> 00:36:07.550
because that’s the kind of personality

948
00:36:07.550 –> 00:36:10.230
that it would demand that treatment.

949
00:36:10.930 –> 00:36:13.330
So, I don’t think there needs to be a backstory there,

950
00:36:13.330 –> 00:36:15.110
but yeah, I love the tie-in also.

951
00:36:15.250 –> 00:36:17.190
And Nick is hosting that show

952
00:36:17.190 –> 00:36:18.450
because it’s a Brodude show.

953
00:36:18.550 –> 00:36:20.050
And if we think back to Letter Kenny,

954
00:36:20.350 –> 00:36:22.350
she was hired by Brodude to be a spokesperson.

955
00:36:22.430 –> 00:36:24.430
So, I thought it was a neat little tie-in.

956
00:36:24.570 –> 00:36:25.090
What do you think, Robbie?

957
00:36:26.490 –> 00:36:28.230
I thought it did a really good job

958
00:36:28.230 –> 00:36:30.390
of setting the stage for a couple of things.

959
00:36:30.930 –> 00:36:33.410
One was that the show has a much bigger scope

960
00:36:34.110 –> 00:36:35.730
that the whole thing about Letter Kenny

961
00:36:35.730 –> 00:36:38.110
is that aside from going fishing in Quebec,

962
00:36:38.990 –> 00:36:42.250
it’s really about this isolated community

963
00:36:42.250 –> 00:36:44.870
and not as if Sudbury is a huge place,

964
00:36:44.930 –> 00:36:46.450
but it really, it kind of sets the stage

965
00:36:46.450 –> 00:36:48.710
that this is a larger kind of world

966
00:36:48.710 –> 00:36:49.890
that they’re playing in.

967
00:36:50.570 –> 00:36:55.650
And then I thought the things that if it was

968
00:36:56.110 –> 00:36:57.430
R.A., is that who it is?

969
00:36:57.430 –> 00:36:57.950
Yeah, R.A.

970
00:36:58.330 –> 00:37:00.310
Talked about Shorzy crying.

971
00:37:01.710 –> 00:37:02.670
I thought that was great.

972
00:37:02.670 –> 00:37:04.150
And then you see him almost cry

973
00:37:04.150 –> 00:37:05.390
right there in the first episode.

974
00:37:05.490 –> 00:37:06.990
And I won’t spoil anything,

975
00:37:06.990 –> 00:37:09.050
but when you finally get to see him cry,

976
00:37:09.770 –> 00:37:14.030
it’s completely shocking and hilarious.

977
00:37:14.970 –> 00:37:16.910
And then also somebody pointed out, I believe,

978
00:37:17.510 –> 00:37:19.670
oh, he does this thing where he asks a question

979
00:37:19.670 –> 00:37:21.950
and then you start to answer and he goes, huh?

980
00:37:22.090 –> 00:37:26.330
And for whatever reason, having that set up for me

981
00:37:26.330 –> 00:37:28.590
punctuates every time he actually does it,

982
00:37:28.590 –> 00:37:29.350
even funnier.

983
00:37:30.090 –> 00:37:31.830
Did they do it through the rest of the show?

984
00:37:31.830 –> 00:37:33.170
Has he done that before?

985
00:37:33.310 –> 00:37:33.910
And I just never know.

986
00:37:34.030 –> 00:37:36.050
No, no, no, no, not on Letter Kenny, but-

987
00:37:36.470 –> 00:37:37.890
Okay, that’s a part of it.

988
00:37:37.890 –> 00:37:38.910
So I agree, Rodney.

989
00:37:39.050 –> 00:37:40.090
And once they said it,

990
00:37:40.090 –> 00:37:42.230
I can’t unhear it every time he does it.

991
00:37:42.230 –> 00:37:43.910
And I’m like, did they do it the whole time

992
00:37:43.910 –> 00:37:44.930
and never put it together?

993
00:37:44.950 –> 00:37:45.230
No.

994
00:37:45.790 –> 00:37:48.790
That lady did that part of her show.

995
00:37:49.010 –> 00:37:50.830
She told you everything that was gonna happen

996
00:37:50.830 –> 00:37:51.710
before it happened.

997
00:37:51.730 –> 00:37:52.430
What was her name?

998
00:37:52.730 –> 00:37:54.970
Nanette, the comedian, Nanette.

999
00:37:57.170 –> 00:37:59.810
It’s so powerful in the show.

1000
00:37:59.970 –> 00:38:01.010
Hannah Gatsby, that’s it.

1001
00:38:02.070 –> 00:38:03.930
Her latest comedy special,

1002
00:38:03.970 –> 00:38:06.490
she starts by saying everything that’s about to happen.

1003
00:38:06.750 –> 00:38:07.930
Tells you everything up front.

1004
00:38:08.410 –> 00:38:11.450
And then, so every time she does something

1005
00:38:11.450 –> 00:38:12.950
that she just foretold,

1006
00:38:13.270 –> 00:38:14.450
for some reason it’s funnier.

1007
00:38:14.510 –> 00:38:16.690
So yeah, it’s kind of funny that they do that.

1008
00:38:17.590 –> 00:38:18.070
All right, cool.

1009
00:38:18.170 –> 00:38:19.310
We’re gonna move on into the scene.

1010
00:38:19.530 –> 00:38:20.430
So a little warning here,

1011
00:38:20.450 –> 00:38:21.430
you probably already noticed,

1012
00:38:21.590 –> 00:38:23.390
because this is the first time in a brand new show,

1013
00:38:23.450 –> 00:38:25.970
I’m gonna be stopping a lot to talk about

1014
00:38:25.970 –> 00:38:27.030
who these actors are,

1015
00:38:27.090 –> 00:38:30.010
because this is our first time meeting a lot of them.

1016
00:38:30.010 –> 00:38:31.670
So apologies up front,

1017
00:38:32.050 –> 00:38:33.290
but just so we get to know them a bit,

1018
00:38:33.330 –> 00:38:35.450
like we do all the Letter County actors now.

1019
00:38:35.770 –> 00:38:37.290
So scene one, the horn sounds

1020
00:38:37.290 –> 00:38:38.750
to signal the end of a hockey game.

1021
00:38:38.950 –> 00:38:41.310
The home team was shut out five nothing.

1022
00:38:41.550 –> 00:38:43.510
Cut to the Sudbury Bulldogs locker room,

1023
00:38:43.710 –> 00:38:45.910
where the players sit at their lockers dejected.

1024
00:38:45.950 –> 00:38:49.070
Coach Michaels, played by Ryan McDonnell,

1025
00:38:49.450 –> 00:38:52.070
was a very experienced Canadian actor from Nova Scotia

1026
00:38:52.070 –> 00:38:54.050
with over 40 acting credits on IMDB,

1027
00:38:54.150 –> 00:38:57.390
including Smallville and Battlestar Galactica.

1028
00:38:57.390 –> 00:39:00.270
Coach Michaels tries to lift his team’s spirits

1029
00:39:00.270 –> 00:39:02.530
with a pep talk about how good the other team is

1030
00:39:02.530 –> 00:39:03.850
and how hard they battled them.

1031
00:39:04.010 –> 00:39:06.570
His pep talk is aided by another player in the locker room

1032
00:39:06.570 –> 00:39:08.090
by the name of Sanguinette,

1033
00:39:08.250 –> 00:39:12.570
played by 25-year-old Harlan Blaine Ketwyhatt,

1034
00:39:13.170 –> 00:39:14.550
a relatively new actor on the scene.

1035
00:39:14.850 –> 00:39:16.290
Shorzy is only his second acting credit.

1036
00:39:17.030 –> 00:39:18.790
Coach Michaels’ pep talk is interrupted

1037
00:39:18.790 –> 00:39:20.790
by farting noises coming from the bathroom stall.

1038
00:39:20.970 –> 00:39:22.330
Of course, it’s Shorzy,

1039
00:39:22.470 –> 00:39:24.370
who’s taking exception to the coach’s tactic

1040
00:39:24.370 –> 00:39:25.950
of praising the other team.

1041
00:39:25.950 –> 00:39:28.990
Shorzy complains about how fucking bad the Bulldogs are.

1042
00:39:29.170 –> 00:39:31.570
Sanguinette tries to say something in the team’s defense,

1043
00:39:31.630 –> 00:39:33.850
but Shorzy tells Sanguinette to shut the fuck up.

1044
00:39:34.390 –> 00:39:35.950
It won’t be the last time he does that.

1045
00:39:36.190 –> 00:39:38.470
Coach Michaels asks Shorzy what he wants.

1046
00:39:38.610 –> 00:39:41.110
Shorzy answers that he wants to never lose again.

1047
00:39:41.510 –> 00:39:43.370
Coach implores Shorzy to finish his shit

1048
00:39:43.370 –> 00:39:45.430
and go talk to him in his office.

1049
00:39:45.770 –> 00:39:48.190
Shorzy corrects Michaels, saying that he’s not shitting,

1050
00:39:48.230 –> 00:39:50.290
he’s puking and shitting at the same time

1051
00:39:50.290 –> 00:39:51.870
because this team is so fucking bad.

1052
00:39:52.090 –> 00:39:54.010
He’s lost control of his body functions.

1053
00:39:54.010 –> 00:39:56.450
Michael makes the mistake of telling Shorzy

1054
00:39:56.450 –> 00:39:58.910
if he knows so much, then he should teach him something.

1055
00:39:59.250 –> 00:40:00.330
There’s a beat of silence

1056
00:40:00.330 –> 00:40:03.870
and then Shorzy begins teaching his coach Michaels.

1057
00:40:04.230 –> 00:40:06.930
Your broad sent her tits to my buddy on Instagram

1058
00:40:06.930 –> 00:40:09.390
then him and my other buddy fucked her in Muskoka.

1059
00:40:10.170 –> 00:40:10.470
What?

1060
00:40:10.770 –> 00:40:12.990
More hockey players have your broad’s tits

1061
00:40:12.990 –> 00:40:14.790
on their phones than at fucking Uber.

1062
00:40:15.070 –> 00:40:15.790
Who fucking way?

1063
00:40:16.010 –> 00:40:17.690
Well, he followed me to Pepe Panini

1064
00:40:17.690 –> 00:40:19.170
after Rib Fest one time

1065
00:40:19.170 –> 00:40:21.170
and cleared the place out with her coke farts.

1066
00:40:21.410 –> 00:40:21.710
My guy.

1067
00:40:21.890 –> 00:40:23.490
Shut the fuck up, Sanguinette.

1068
00:40:23.490 –> 00:40:25.670
Everyone knows he got an underwater squeezer

1069
00:40:25.670 –> 00:40:28.010
from her off the side of our party island last summer

1070
00:40:28.010 –> 00:40:29.070
in Wasaga Beach.

1071
00:40:29.350 –> 00:40:29.730
Hold on.

1072
00:40:30.010 –> 00:40:31.150
I could have got one too,

1073
00:40:31.150 –> 00:40:32.570
but I was having an aqua dump.

1074
00:40:32.890 –> 00:40:33.530
No, you know what?

1075
00:40:33.730 –> 00:40:34.710
Fuck you, Shorzy.

1076
00:40:34.950 –> 00:40:35.890
Fuck you, Michaels.

1077
00:40:36.050 –> 00:40:38.270
Your sweetie stalked McDavid’s girlfriend

1078
00:40:38.270 –> 00:40:39.790
in boots and hearts and asked her

1079
00:40:39.790 –> 00:40:41.130
if she wanted to taste it.

1080
00:40:41.190 –> 00:40:43.890
I should fold this whole fucking team.

1081
00:40:44.250 –> 00:40:45.510
Yeah, stick with me, Michaels.

1082
00:40:45.750 –> 00:40:47.330
You’ll learn something new every day of your life,

1083
00:40:47.430 –> 00:40:48.290
you piece of shit.

1084
00:40:49.490 –> 00:40:50.650
Michael storms out.

1085
00:40:50.890 –> 00:40:52.510
Shorzy flushes and comes out of the stall,

1086
00:40:52.510 –> 00:40:54.310
slapping a pack of chewing tobacco

1087
00:40:54.310 –> 00:40:56.470
and calling Michaels a fucking loser.

1088
00:40:57.150 –> 00:40:58.850
Scene two, in the GM’s office,

1089
00:40:59.030 –> 00:41:02.370
we have Zegwan, AKA Zeg,

1090
00:41:02.490 –> 00:41:04.950
played by Blair Lamora, a relatively new actress

1091
00:41:04.950 –> 00:41:06.770
with a couple of credits for Outlander

1092
00:41:06.770 –> 00:41:09.150
and Paranormal Night Shift.

1093
00:41:09.790 –> 00:41:14.290
And Migwan, played by Killani Elizabeth Rose,

1094
00:41:14.390 –> 00:41:16.070
an award-winning actor, DJ,

1095
00:41:16.210 –> 00:41:17.670
and classically trained dancer.

1096
00:41:18.030 –> 00:41:19.070
Some of her credits include

1097
00:41:19.070 –> 00:41:21.230
Within the Silence, Flimsy, and The Color Rose.

1098
00:41:21.790 –> 00:41:24.510
Zeg and Mig, as they’re known, are sisters,

1099
00:41:24.550 –> 00:41:26.030
and they seem to work for the team.

1100
00:41:26.290 –> 00:41:27.790
Their role is as of yet unclear.

1101
00:41:28.470 –> 00:41:29.890
They’re leaning on the GM’s desk,

1102
00:41:29.970 –> 00:41:31.570
leering at Shorzy and Sanguinette,

1103
00:41:31.590 –> 00:41:33.510
who are standing there like a couple of kids

1104
00:41:33.510 –> 00:41:34.690
in the principal’s office.

1105
00:41:35.310 –> 00:41:38.630
Mig informs them that the GM wants to see them

1106
00:41:38.630 –> 00:41:39.330
at the Colson.

1107
00:41:39.950 –> 00:41:41.650
Shorzy’s reaction is very much like a kid

1108
00:41:41.650 –> 00:41:43.110
who was told the principal wants to see him

1109
00:41:43.110 –> 00:41:44.930
as he answers with incredulously,

1110
00:41:45.390 –> 00:41:46.250
for what?

1111
00:41:47.290 –> 00:41:48.650
Mig tries to answer,

1112
00:41:48.930 –> 00:41:50.850
but not before Shorzy interrupts her with a huh

1113
00:41:50.850 –> 00:41:53.870
and then she tells him he’s a veteran,

1114
00:41:54.130 –> 00:41:55.530
he’s supposed to lead the team.

1115
00:41:55.890 –> 00:41:57.610
Zeg tries to belittle Shorzy.

1116
00:41:58.170 –> 00:41:59.430
Aren’t you too old for this?

1117
00:41:59.690 –> 00:42:00.870
Like, how old are you?

1118
00:42:00.990 –> 00:42:02.310
You’re too young for me, Zeg,

1119
00:42:02.450 –> 00:42:04.290
and Mig, it’s bordering on harassment at this point.

1120
00:42:04.290 –> 00:42:05.790
We just got pumped five goose

1121
00:42:05.790 –> 00:42:07.470
for the 20th loss of the campaign.

1122
00:42:07.750 –> 00:42:08.910
Well, Michael’s fucking dope.

1123
00:42:09.190 –> 00:42:10.310
Michael’s wants to fold.

1124
00:42:10.750 –> 00:42:11.190
No.

1125
00:42:11.270 –> 00:42:12.250
What do you want us to do?

1126
00:42:12.350 –> 00:42:13.890
I want us to never lose again.

1127
00:42:14.210 –> 00:42:14.990
What’s an aqua dump?

1128
00:42:15.750 –> 00:42:16.010
Huh?

1129
00:42:16.890 –> 00:42:18.050
What’s an aqua dump?

1130
00:42:18.670 –> 00:42:19.910
It’s when you take a dump in a lake.

1131
00:42:19.910 –> 00:42:22.430
It’s taking a dump in any body of water.

1132
00:42:22.770 –> 00:42:23.610
What about a bathtub?

1133
00:42:23.990 –> 00:42:26.690
That’s taking a dump in a fucking bathtub, Sanguinette.

1134
00:42:26.870 –> 00:42:28.110
In this case, it was a lake.

1135
00:42:28.270 –> 00:42:28.910
No, it wasn’t.

1136
00:42:29.090 –> 00:42:31.390
Okay, you told your coach that you got a squeezer

1137
00:42:31.390 –> 00:42:33.710
from his sweetie while taking a dump in the lake.

1138
00:42:33.830 –> 00:42:35.330
I said I could have got a squeezer.

1139
00:42:35.550 –> 00:42:37.290
Sanguinette actually got the squeezer from her.

1140
00:42:37.290 –> 00:42:38.610
Her brothers are super weird.

1141
00:42:39.390 –> 00:42:39.790
Sanguinette.

1142
00:42:40.090 –> 00:42:41.330
They weren’t together at the time.

1143
00:42:41.590 –> 00:42:42.890
Look at you getting a little pee pee whack.

1144
00:42:43.050 –> 00:42:45.410
Do you think it’s funny getting a booster in a lake?

1145
00:42:45.650 –> 00:42:46.530
It was a river.

1146
00:42:46.690 –> 00:42:48.010
I said, do you think it’s funny?

1147
00:42:48.170 –> 00:42:49.410
I don’t think anything’s funny.

1148
00:42:49.410 –> 00:42:50.870
I’m trying not to cry.

1149
00:42:51.310 –> 00:42:52.030
Don’t cry, my guy.

1150
00:42:52.050 –> 00:42:52.690
Shut the fuck up.

1151
00:42:52.790 –> 00:42:53.370
Why would you cry?

1152
00:42:53.670 –> 00:42:55.170
We just got pumped five goose

1153
00:42:55.170 –> 00:42:56.850
for the 20th loss of the campaign.

1154
00:42:57.110 –> 00:42:58.550
I think the only reason I’m not crying

1155
00:42:58.550 –> 00:43:00.130
is because I already cried a little bit.

1156
00:43:00.150 –> 00:43:01.930
Then fix your makeup, bitch.

1157
00:43:02.070 –> 00:43:03.310
Jim wants to see you at the Colson.

1158
00:43:03.690 –> 00:43:04.090
Now.

1159
00:43:04.670 –> 00:43:05.470
Oh, man.

1160
00:43:05.990 –> 00:43:06.730
Production note.

1161
00:43:06.910 –> 00:43:09.950
The Colson is an actual live music venue in Sudbury.

1162
00:43:10.590 –> 00:43:15.090
So every location that we hear about on this show

1163
00:43:15.090 –> 00:43:16.250
are actual locations.

1164
00:43:16.590 –> 00:43:17.870
Even Peppi Panini’s.

1165
00:43:17.890 –> 00:43:19.390
Yeah, especially Peppi Panini’s.

1166
00:43:19.930 –> 00:43:20.770
Scene three.

1167
00:43:20.950 –> 00:43:24.350
A classic letter Kenny slow mo musical montage at the Colson.

1168
00:43:24.590 –> 00:43:26.030
Sanguinette enters the club.

1169
00:43:26.550 –> 00:43:28.170
It’s filled with very attractive women.

1170
00:43:28.250 –> 00:43:30.090
After all, as we now know from the cold open,

1171
00:43:30.130 –> 00:43:32.910
there’s an impossible amount of good looking girls in Sudbury.

1172
00:43:33.070 –> 00:43:35.030
While Sanguinette is at the bar having a beer,

1173
00:43:35.210 –> 00:43:37.590
a blonde on the dance floor catches his attention.

1174
00:43:38.030 –> 00:43:40.430
They stare at each other as she dances for him.

1175
00:43:40.730 –> 00:43:42.610
Just then Sanguinette’s trance is interrupted.

1176
00:43:42.850 –> 00:43:46.510
And so is the music as someone comes on to the PA in the club.

1177
00:43:46.510 –> 00:43:50.590
If you’re the owner of a black F-150 with license plate J.K.L.K.

1178
00:43:50.590 –> 00:43:52.410
zero eight four, your lights are on.

1179
00:43:53.150 –> 00:43:55.550
Also, if you’re a fucking loser that just got pumped five goose

1180
00:43:55.550 –> 00:43:58.470
for the 20th loss of the campaign, meet me out back.

1181
00:43:59.410 –> 00:44:02.270
The music comes back on Sanguinette looks back to the dance floor

1182
00:44:02.270 –> 00:44:05.450
looking for the blonde, but instead he gets a face full of Phil

1183
00:44:05.450 –> 00:44:08.730
played by John Ambrose, a Canadian actor slash stuntman

1184
00:44:08.730 –> 00:44:12.510
with many credits such as Titans, the Umbrella Academy, Heroes Reborn, etc.

1185
00:44:13.330 –> 00:44:15.210
Phil is a big tough looking dude

1186
00:44:15.210 –> 00:44:18.090
who doesn’t seem to appreciate Sanguinette’s interest in the blonde.

1187
00:44:18.410 –> 00:44:19.650
He shoes Sanguinette away.

1188
00:44:20.010 –> 00:44:20.890
Sanguinette leaves.

1189
00:44:21.310 –> 00:44:23.490
Shorzy witnesses this entire encounter from afar.

1190
00:44:24.330 –> 00:44:26.950
Production note, the license plate that is called out in this scene,

1191
00:44:27.230 –> 00:44:31.810
J.K.L.K. zero eight four is thought that to stand for J.K.

1192
00:44:31.850 –> 00:44:33.370
is Jared Kiso, L.K.

1193
00:44:33.530 –> 00:44:37.350
Lederkenny and zero eight four would be the year that Kiso was born.

1194
00:44:37.450 –> 00:44:39.450
So a little Easter egg there.

1195
00:44:40.090 –> 00:44:41.050
At the same age.

1196
00:44:41.390 –> 00:44:43.050
Yeah. Oh, there you go.

1197
00:44:43.710 –> 00:44:45.930
You’re you’re almost you’re practically twins, right?

1198
00:44:47.310 –> 00:44:47.830
Winsies.

1199
00:44:49.410 –> 00:44:50.090
Scene four.

1200
00:44:50.090 –> 00:44:52.190
Awesome. I might beg to differ.

1201
00:44:52.350 –> 00:44:55.870
Scene four outside behind the bar, there seems to be a brawl going on,

1202
00:44:55.970 –> 00:44:59.750
possibly some bouncers taking care of some Sudbury DGENs.

1203
00:44:59.810 –> 00:45:01.830
We’ll see those bouncers again later.

1204
00:45:02.070 –> 00:45:06.190
Watching the entire scene is Nat, the GM of the Sudbury Bulldogs played by

1205
00:45:06.950 –> 00:45:10.590
I’m going to say that’s Tasha Tellies, a Canadian actress

1206
00:45:10.590 –> 00:45:13.030
known for the 100 supernatural prison break.

1207
00:45:13.030 –> 00:45:16.570
Among others, Schorzy and Sanguinette come out and greet Nat.

1208
00:45:17.150 –> 00:45:19.230
Hey, Nat. Fuck you, Schorzy.

1209
00:45:19.430 –> 00:45:20.170
For what?

1210
00:45:20.390 –> 00:45:22.710
We get pumped five goose with the 20th loss of the campaign.

1211
00:45:22.890 –> 00:45:25.390
And you’re like, yes, so. Hey, Nat.

1212
00:45:25.690 –> 00:45:26.790
Well, your coach is a joke.

1213
00:45:27.010 –> 00:45:27.930
Your coach wants to fold.

1214
00:45:28.610 –> 00:45:29.830
No, we’re no quitters, Nat.

1215
00:45:29.830 –> 00:45:30.810
Shut the fuck up, Sanguinette.

1216
00:45:31.110 –> 00:45:33.490
And what’s this I hear about you taking a dump in his girlfriend’s lake?

1217
00:45:34.670 –> 00:45:36.410
It was a lake. It wasn’t her lake.

1218
00:45:36.750 –> 00:45:38.050
Well, she can’t own a lake.

1219
00:45:38.470 –> 00:45:40.010
Do you know how much I spend on that guy?

1220
00:45:40.450 –> 00:45:41.610
Me? Oh, my God.

1221
00:45:41.610 –> 00:45:45.210
No flights from Toronto every weekend, hotels, rental cars.

1222
00:45:45.270 –> 00:45:46.070
It’s fucking fee.

1223
00:45:46.370 –> 00:45:47.150
Why are you an idiot?

1224
00:45:47.590 –> 00:45:48.830
He coached pro. Yeah.

1225
00:45:48.830 –> 00:45:49.950
He can’t do T.

1226
00:45:50.030 –> 00:45:51.190
He played NCAA.

1227
00:45:51.490 –> 00:45:54.130
You can’t even fight in that league for fucking euros.

1228
00:45:54.230 –> 00:45:55.630
I hate losing so much.

1229
00:45:55.870 –> 00:45:57.210
I never want to lose again.

1230
00:45:58.090 –> 00:45:59.850
Nat says she hates losing so much.

1231
00:46:00.050 –> 00:46:01.470
Schorzy says he never wants to lose again.

1232
00:46:01.570 –> 00:46:04.130
Nat’s regretting spending money on coach that wants to fold.

1233
00:46:04.710 –> 00:46:07.310
Schorzy explains that it’s because of Coach Michael’s girlfriend

1234
00:46:07.310 –> 00:46:08.770
pushed up on Sanguinette.

1235
00:46:08.770 –> 00:46:10.010
That brings up her mom.

1236
00:46:10.370 –> 00:46:13.070
If she saw how bad the team was, she’d shit in her grave.

1237
00:46:13.970 –> 00:46:15.750
Schorzy agrees that the team is pretty bad.

1238
00:46:16.070 –> 00:46:18.410
Sanguinette tries to agree, but gets shut up by Schorzy.

1239
00:46:19.170 –> 00:46:20.710
All Nat wants is bums in seats.

1240
00:46:20.910 –> 00:46:23.850
She says that if they can’t be scoring, they should at least be filling them in,

1241
00:46:24.030 –> 00:46:25.490
meaning beating up on the opposing teams.

1242
00:46:25.970 –> 00:46:29.410
Schorzy agrees. Nat asks him, then why don’t they do that?

1243
00:46:29.750 –> 00:46:31.070
The kids don’t want it.

1244
00:46:31.430 –> 00:46:33.230
They don’t skate. They don’t score.

1245
00:46:33.370 –> 00:46:35.690
They don’t hit. They don’t fight. They float.

1246
00:46:36.190 –> 00:46:37.290
They don’t love to win.

1247
00:46:37.290 –> 00:46:39.290
They don’t hate to lose.

1248
00:46:39.870 –> 00:46:41.370
I hate losing so much.

1249
00:46:42.210 –> 00:46:44.070
Well, that’s what makes you such a sniper, Nat.

1250
00:46:44.490 –> 00:46:46.270
Oh, you think I’m a sniper? To a lot of guys.

1251
00:46:46.710 –> 00:46:47.910
To me, you’re a bit young.

1252
00:46:48.170 –> 00:46:48.930
I’m crestfallen.

1253
00:46:49.190 –> 00:46:51.550
But I hear a dude saying Nat’s a sniper all the time.

1254
00:46:51.610 –> 00:46:52.310
Shut up, dude.

1255
00:46:52.430 –> 00:46:55.310
Like if I had a Sudbury big nickel for every time I heard a dude

1256
00:46:55.310 –> 00:46:57.450
say Nat’s a sniper right out of a 20 spot.

1257
00:46:57.690 –> 00:46:58.990
That it? Do the math.

1258
00:46:59.810 –> 00:47:00.370
Schorzy leaves.

1259
00:47:00.790 –> 00:47:02.570
Sanguinette stays behind to try to defend himself

1260
00:47:02.570 –> 00:47:05.470
about the Wasega beach squeezer, but Schorzy shuts him up

1261
00:47:05.470 –> 00:47:06.390
from inside the bar.

1262
00:47:06.390 –> 00:47:09.810
Scene five, another slo-mo musical scene shows Phil,

1263
00:47:09.950 –> 00:47:12.930
the big guy from before walking into the men’s room and Schorzy

1264
00:47:12.930 –> 00:47:13.730
following him.

1265
00:47:14.010 –> 00:47:15.910
Moments later, Schorzy walks out of the bathroom.

1266
00:47:16.190 –> 00:47:19.350
The door swings open to reveal Phil unconscious on the bathroom floor,

1267
00:47:19.670 –> 00:47:21.830
probably on account of a potty kiss from Schorzy.

1268
00:47:22.590 –> 00:47:23.130
Scene six.

1269
00:47:23.490 –> 00:47:24.490
Well, wait a second.

1270
00:47:24.610 –> 00:47:27.930
We want to pause and maybe just have a little banter about that.

1271
00:47:28.410 –> 00:47:28.770
So go ahead.

1272
00:47:29.470 –> 00:47:31.450
So so first, I was kind of a little confused

1273
00:47:31.450 –> 00:47:33.930
as to kind of what happened between him and Sanguinette.

1274
00:47:33.950 –> 00:47:36.250
Like I didn’t piece it together exactly.

1275
00:47:36.250 –> 00:47:38.690
Like, why is he kind of in his way?

1276
00:47:39.090 –> 00:47:40.610
Is he like her boyfriend?

1277
00:47:40.830 –> 00:47:41.910
Is he her father?

1278
00:47:42.310 –> 00:47:44.190
Like, is he just a bouncer?

1279
00:47:44.350 –> 00:47:44.730
Like, what?

1280
00:47:44.950 –> 00:47:47.790
I don’t think there was enough context to even kind of explain

1281
00:47:47.790 –> 00:47:48.950
like what that was about.

1282
00:47:48.950 –> 00:47:51.210
OK, and then and then next thing you see

1283
00:47:52.290 –> 00:47:53.830
Schorzy, Schorzy doing that to him.

1284
00:47:53.850 –> 00:47:56.710
And then you think, OK, well, you know, they’re basically showing

1285
00:47:56.710 –> 00:47:58.630
that, yeah, he’s talking to fuck off all the time.

1286
00:47:58.770 –> 00:48:00.670
But shut up. But but he he loves him.

1287
00:48:00.670 –> 00:48:02.050
You know, that they’re best buds.

1288
00:48:02.050 –> 00:48:05.130
But it just seems like an extreme

1289
00:48:06.250 –> 00:48:10.030
overreaction to whatever we just saw, which is, I guess, if that’s true,

1290
00:48:10.090 –> 00:48:14.250
then again, that’s showing another layer of Schorzy, how, you know,

1291
00:48:14.670 –> 00:48:15.550
crazy he is.

1292
00:48:15.570 –> 00:48:19.630
But then I just feel like there wasn’t nothing happened.

1293
00:48:20.350 –> 00:48:24.410
Like we didn’t get enough context of what Bill actually did wrong.

1294
00:48:24.410 –> 00:48:25.350
Yeah, that’s fair.

1295
00:48:25.510 –> 00:48:27.890
So but anyway, so that that’s how I saw that.

1296
00:48:28.350 –> 00:48:29.730
Yeah, that’s fair.

1297
00:48:29.730 –> 00:48:31.890
I think it could be seen as an overreaction

1298
00:48:31.890 –> 00:48:32.850
because you’re right, we don’t know.

1299
00:48:33.230 –> 00:48:36.210
Like, I mean, I think we’re supposed to we’re supposed to assume

1300
00:48:36.210 –> 00:48:40.230
maybe that’s his girlfriend or something, or maybe he just crushing on her

1301
00:48:40.230 –> 00:48:42.590
and he doesn’t like Sanguinette looking at her that way.

1302
00:48:43.070 –> 00:48:46.410
But I think I think you’re right that this was that whole scene

1303
00:48:46.410 –> 00:48:49.790
was just meant to show us that even though Schorzy is always telling

1304
00:48:49.790 –> 00:48:52.510
Sanguinette to shut the fuck up, they’re actually quite close.

1305
00:48:52.650 –> 00:48:55.190
Schorzy will do a lot for him.

1306
00:48:55.230 –> 00:48:57.070
So they must be really close buds.

1307
00:48:57.170 –> 00:49:00.130
I think that’s this is the first the first time we see that.

1308
00:49:00.590 –> 00:49:03.590
Up until now, he’s just been telling us Sanguinette to shut the fuck up.

1309
00:49:04.070 –> 00:49:07.530
Well, and also, I mean, when he went on that rant about, you know, they

1310
00:49:07.530 –> 00:49:09.870
they don’t care about losing or care.

1311
00:49:09.990 –> 00:49:11.870
They don’t care Sanguinette cares.

1312
00:49:12.170 –> 00:49:13.990
So he’s a teammate that cares.

1313
00:49:14.090 –> 00:49:17.070
And regardless of whether he’s good or not, there’s still that loyalty.

1314
00:49:17.290 –> 00:49:18.870
And he’s got his back. Yeah.

1315
00:49:19.050 –> 00:49:19.970
But I agree with you, Victor.

1316
00:49:20.070 –> 00:49:21.910
I think it was it was a bit of an overreaction.

1317
00:49:22.130 –> 00:49:25.370
But so I think maybe it was more of a plot device than than anything.

1318
00:49:25.910 –> 00:49:29.210
I just kind of took it because it was already mentioned

1319
00:49:29.210 –> 00:49:33.610
prior to the the what they had.

1320
00:49:33.610 –> 00:49:36.770
The conversation during the whole cold open

1321
00:49:36.770 –> 00:49:38.930
that he gives the urinal.

1322
00:49:38.990 –> 00:49:40.310
What did they call it?

1323
00:49:40.330 –> 00:49:43.290
Kiss something, kiss, party, kiss, party, kiss.

1324
00:49:43.430 –> 00:49:45.310
So I think it doesn’t.

1325
00:49:45.490 –> 00:49:48.770
That’s just kind of who he is, that he’ll do it to anyone

1326
00:49:48.770 –> 00:49:49.890
that goes into the bathroom.

1327
00:49:49.930 –> 00:49:52.770
So I kind of thought I didn’t really piece it together,

1328
00:49:52.770 –> 00:49:54.410
that there was a reason behind it.

1329
00:49:54.410 –> 00:49:57.130
I like what you’re saying, that, you know,

1330
00:49:57.130 –> 00:49:59.970
the moment as an excuse to do body kids.

1331
00:50:00.250 –> 00:50:00.510
It’s possible.

1332
00:50:00.750 –> 00:50:03.090
And I think we’re going to we’re going to find that, I mean,

1333
00:50:03.090 –> 00:50:06.710
we’re so used to Wayne being this virtuous fighter

1334
00:50:06.710 –> 00:50:09.570
and he can beat anybody fair and square.

1335
00:50:09.770 –> 00:50:11.590
Shorzy doesn’t give a fuck about fair and square.

1336
00:50:11.810 –> 00:50:14.930
He he’ll do what it takes to win dirty or not. Right.

1337
00:50:15.050 –> 00:50:18.350
So and the party kiss is right down his alley, I guess.

1338
00:50:19.650 –> 00:50:22.190
Is anyone else getting with Sanguinet?

1339
00:50:22.310 –> 00:50:24.290
I mean, shut the fuck up, Sanguinet.

1340
00:50:24.470 –> 00:50:25.770
Is anyone else getting shut the fuck up?

1341
00:50:25.770 –> 00:50:26.330
I don’t know.

1342
00:50:26.330 –> 00:50:27.010
I think we’ve got one more question from the big Lebowski

1343
00:50:27.010 –> 00:50:28.210
every time they hear that.

1344
00:50:28.210 –> 00:50:28.910
Oh, maybe.

1345
00:50:29.290 –> 00:50:30.170
Yeah, I like that.

1346
00:50:30.170 –> 00:50:31.010
I didn’t get it.

1347
00:50:31.010 –> 00:50:31.690
But I like that.

1348
00:50:31.690 –> 00:50:33.290
It could be an homage to that.

1349
00:50:33.410 –> 00:50:33.570
Right.

1350
00:50:34.050 –> 00:50:34.650
Yeah, it could be.

1351
00:50:34.670 –> 00:50:35.750
It’s been far too long.

1352
00:50:35.810 –> 00:50:36.890
I didn’t make that connection.

1353
00:50:37.090 –> 00:50:38.310
But yeah, that’s really good call.

1354
00:50:38.370 –> 00:50:39.290
Could be a thing.

1355
00:50:39.290 –> 00:50:40.630
All right.

1356
00:50:40.750 –> 00:50:45.010
It seems there’s any Folgers references we might be able to confirm that.

1357
00:50:45.010 –> 00:50:46.330
Scene six, right?

1358
00:50:46.350 –> 00:50:48.050
The hockey game with teenage players.

1359
00:50:48.230 –> 00:50:50.030
We’re at a hockey game with teenage players.

1360
00:50:50.030 –> 00:50:51.070
Shorzy is reffing.

1361
00:50:51.070 –> 00:50:52.850
This seems to be his, his job.

1362
00:50:52.850 –> 00:51:06.510
We see a different side of Schorzly here, acting as a voice of authority, while he still chirps back and forth with the teenage players, mostly about their acne, sometimes about their mothers too. He’s also oddly supportive of them.

1363
00:51:07.190 –> 00:51:18.610
Number 22 minutes roughing. For what? For being a fucking idiot, Cory. I’ll call the guy who retaliates every time. Call fucking both. I’ve had about enough from the clear as ill kid. Get in the box, you fucking pimple farmer.

1364
00:51:21.220 –> 00:51:32.360
I can’t wait to watch you play tonight, Liam. You’re going to play so good. You’re going to play so good. Hey, who wants to hurt their team more, boys? Keep it up and find out. I’m only taking one of you. I’m only taking one of you. Stick said.

1365
00:51:33.660 –> 00:51:41.680
It’s fucking awful tonight, Schorzly. Keep working hard, Cory. You can do just like me. Oh yeah, I remember laying in bed as a kid dreaming about repping high school hockey on a Friday night.

1366
00:51:42.460 –> 00:51:48.900
I remember laying in bed dreaming about the time your mom tongued my butthole so good I put her in my phone as roll up the rim to win.

1367
00:51:49.300 –> 00:52:00.460
How do you make that fucking call in a game this tight? It’s a fucking wonderful game. Yeah, thanks, Stuart. It’s obvious. Cut the lip. Fuck you, Schorzly. One more Neutrogena tantrum out of you and you’re getting the gate bud triby.

1368
00:52:01.520 –> 00:52:14.640
At one point, the chirping gets so bad, Schorzly ejects one of the teenage players. And as a player heads to the locker room, he lets it slip that the Bulldogs are folding. Upon hearing this, Schorzly follows him into the locker room, asking him where he heard about that.

1369
00:52:15.700 –> 00:52:24.040
Scene seven, cut back to the GM’s office. Schorzly, Zanger, Zeke and Meeg are standing off with each other once again.

1370
00:52:25.740 –> 00:52:26.640
Who told you we’re folding?

1371
00:52:26.880 –> 00:52:28.400
Doesn’t matter. Are we folding or not?

1372
00:52:28.400 –> 00:52:30.380
Nat’s on her way.

1373
00:52:30.540 –> 00:52:32.980
Just if we’re going to fold, can you please tell me now?

1374
00:52:33.200 –> 00:52:33.380
Why?

1375
00:52:33.620 –> 00:52:37.040
Because if I’m going to cry, I want to be in and out of it before Nat gets here.

1376
00:52:37.780 –> 00:52:40.860
Meeg, I hope the lake squeeze isn’t weird because if any time you want to grab some sand.

1377
00:52:40.880 –> 00:52:44.000
Shut the fuck up, Sanguinette. Was it not a river?

1378
00:52:46.780 –> 00:52:54.260
Zanger proclaims that Michaels was a terrible coach. Just then Nat walks in. She announces that she fired Michaels. Schorzly says good because he’s fucking a fucking joke.

1379
00:52:54.260 –> 00:52:59.800
Nat finishes her point to say because they’re folding. This causes Schorzly to well up.

1380
00:53:00.200 –> 00:53:05.540
I can’t lose again, Schorzly. Not one more game. I can’t live with it. The Bulldogs used to be it in this town.

1381
00:53:05.900 –> 00:53:12.640
Most fun you can have on a Sudbury Saturday night. The social event of the week. Standing room only. It’s fucking embarrassing now, man.

1382
00:53:13.120 –> 00:53:17.500
You think my mom gave me the keys to the club because I know everything about hockey? Fuck no.

1383
00:53:17.960 –> 00:53:22.320
She gave them to me because she knows I care and I would take care of it.

1384
00:53:22.320 –> 00:53:29.320
Fucking sports are supposed to bring communities together and families. They serve a purpose. It’s important.

1385
00:53:29.760 –> 00:53:32.700
Kids and sports stay off the streets. Drugs kill dreams.

1386
00:53:33.140 –> 00:53:40.100
I just want bums in seats. Families together and watching the game like mine did. No one comes to watch. No one cares.

1387
00:53:40.680 –> 00:53:41.460
Can you blame them?

1388
00:53:42.080 –> 00:53:42.440
No.

1389
00:53:42.820 –> 00:53:43.560
Sorry, but shut the fuck up.

1390
00:53:43.600 –> 00:53:46.900
Do you know how hard it is to give a shit about a hockey team that can’t win a fucking hockey game?

1391
00:53:47.100 –> 00:53:49.260
The Sioux have outscored us 19-0 this year.

1392
00:53:49.400 –> 00:53:50.420
Sioux are so fucking good.

1393
00:53:50.760 –> 00:53:51.600
Please don’t fold.

1394
00:53:52.860 –> 00:53:54.800
Nat asks why she shouldn’t fold.

1395
00:53:55.320 –> 00:53:56.400
Please don’t fold.

1396
00:53:57.640 –> 00:54:03.820
Why they shouldn’t fold? They’re firmly in the basement. The town’s turned their back on them. They don’t even have a coach now. What are they supposed to do?

1397
00:54:04.220 –> 00:54:05.240
Never lose again.

1398
00:54:06.340 –> 00:54:06.680
What?

1399
00:54:07.060 –> 00:54:09.640
This team will never lose again.

1400
00:54:10.720 –> 00:54:13.640
Wheels are already in motion, Sharzy. I gassed Michael’s.

1401
00:54:13.800 –> 00:54:14.560
Sanguinett will coach.

1402
00:54:14.720 –> 00:54:15.380
But I’m a player.

1403
00:54:15.580 –> 00:54:19.540
Sanguinett, you’re a healthy stretch on a last place club in the no-show. Hang him up.

1404
00:54:19.860 –> 00:54:20.520
What’s your plan?

1405
00:54:21.100 –> 00:54:21.360
Me?

1406
00:54:21.360 –> 00:54:22.460
Oh my god.

1407
00:54:23.280 –> 00:54:28.120
Fucking one top line of Canadian-grade studs to fill the net surround them with the toughest natives we can find.

1408
00:54:28.220 –> 00:54:29.360
Tough natives is redundant.

1409
00:54:29.860 –> 00:54:30.780
That’s a good plan.

1410
00:54:31.020 –> 00:54:31.940
It’s a really good plan.

1411
00:54:32.100 –> 00:54:34.180
It’s the best fucking plan I ever heard in my life.

1412
00:54:34.540 –> 00:54:34.980
My man.

1413
00:54:35.180 –> 00:54:39.620
Well, just use the money that you were going to spend on Michael’s to bring in four guys who will turn this ship right round.

1414
00:54:39.860 –> 00:54:41.660
Then that’s four guys she’ll have to put up in hotels.

1415
00:54:41.800 –> 00:54:42.580
They’ll stay with me.

1416
00:54:42.680 –> 00:54:49.300
So you’re saying you’ve got four studs who will completely uproot their lives to live with you and play senior hockey in Sudbury. Are they fucking inbred?

1417
00:54:49.300 –> 00:54:52.500
Does anyone kind of think Zeig maybe wishes they were?

1418
00:54:52.740 –> 00:54:54.760
Four team league, four games left.

1419
00:54:55.140 –> 00:54:58.220
Timmons, North Bay once, Sioux twice, all four on home ice.

1420
00:54:58.500 –> 00:55:00.080
We could get in right before the trade deadline.

1421
00:55:00.600 –> 00:55:01.680
I want bottoms and seats.

1422
00:55:01.840 –> 00:55:02.440
Watch this.

1423
00:55:02.600 –> 00:55:03.680
I can’t lose one more game.

1424
00:55:03.740 –> 00:55:04.400
We won’t.

1425
00:55:04.500 –> 00:55:04.780
Schorzy.

1426
00:55:04.940 –> 00:55:07.180
This team will never lose again.

1427
00:55:08.040 –> 00:55:10.160
If we never lose again, we win the league.

1428
00:55:11.200 –> 00:55:13.520
Schorzy acknowledges the statement and doesn’t flinch.

1429
00:55:13.820 –> 00:55:14.900
Matt agrees to the plan.

1430
00:55:15.160 –> 00:55:18.040
She warns Schorzy that if they lose one more game, they fold.

1431
00:55:18.040 –> 00:55:23.560
Schorzy cuts the tension by telling Matt that if she was 15 years older, he’d think about taking a run at her.

1432
00:55:23.900 –> 00:55:26.220
She dismisses him, but that gives her an idea.

1433
00:55:26.480 –> 00:55:30.020
If Schorzy really thinks they can do this, he should go tell his friend at the press.

1434
00:55:30.520 –> 00:55:32.860
This gets Schorzy excited for some reason.

1435
00:55:33.300 –> 00:55:34.720
Matt turns to Zeig and Meeg.

1436
00:55:34.940 –> 00:55:37.060
They need to bring in another sponsor, a big one.

1437
00:55:37.400 –> 00:55:40.240
Meeg adds they’ll need to get some tough natives.

1438
00:55:40.600 –> 00:55:43.340
Zeig corrects her, saying tough natives is redundant.

1439
00:55:43.840 –> 00:55:46.560
Matt knows exactly the natives tough enough for the task.

1440
00:55:46.560 –> 00:55:48.720
She leaves with Zeig and Meeg.

1441
00:55:48.980 –> 00:55:51.640
Schorzy and Sanger silently celebrate the reprieve.

1442
00:55:51.760 –> 00:55:57.620
And a little production note, in the previous clip where Matt’s talking about the Bulldogs being the thing to do on a Sudbury Saturday night,

1443
00:55:58.060 –> 00:56:00.640
those words are likely an homage to the song,

1444
00:56:00.760 –> 00:56:06.820
Sudbury Saturday Night by legendary Canadian country and folk singer Stompin’ Tom Connors.

1445
00:56:07.020 –> 00:56:09.300
So look that one up if you want to hear that one.

1446
00:56:10.320 –> 00:56:10.840
CN8.

1447
00:56:11.120 –> 00:56:14.120
Matt, Zeig, Meeg are standing out behind the Colson.

1448
00:56:14.120 –> 00:56:17.080
There’s another brawl happening involving the same guys from before.

1449
00:56:17.480 –> 00:56:18.740
Zeig asks Matt if they play hockey.

1450
00:56:19.180 –> 00:56:20.400
Matt responds this is Canada.

1451
00:56:20.520 –> 00:56:21.420
Everyone plays hockey.

1452
00:56:22.160 –> 00:56:24.940
Meeg asks when Matt thinks Schorzy will meet with the press.

1453
00:56:25.100 –> 00:56:26.220
Matt says in 10 minutes.

1454
00:56:26.480 –> 00:56:27.660
They’re meeting at the doghouse.

1455
00:56:27.880 –> 00:56:31.360
Matt talks about how much Schorzy loves Laura Moore.

1456
00:56:32.080 –> 00:56:34.180
We’re to assume Laura Moore is the reporter.

1457
00:56:34.560 –> 00:56:37.700
She’s played by award-winning Canadian actress Camille Sullivan,

1458
00:56:37.700 –> 00:56:45.640
known for shows like Taken, Da Vinci’s Inquest, Intelligence, Rookie Blue, The Man in High Castle, Unspeakable.

1459
00:56:46.100 –> 00:56:47.260
She’s got so many credits.

1460
00:56:48.320 –> 00:56:51.100
And production note, the doghouse is an actual sports bar in Sudbury.

1461
00:56:51.700 –> 00:56:56.560
Next scene, cut to Schorzy and Sanguinette at the arena talking about his love for Laura Moore.

1462
00:56:57.040 –> 00:56:58.260
Paul, can you fucking blame me?

1463
00:56:58.460 –> 00:56:59.140
No, my dude.

1464
00:57:01.190 –> 00:57:02.970
But you really think we can do this?

1465
00:57:03.630 –> 00:57:06.070
Like, Timmins is good and North Bay is really good.

1466
00:57:06.070 –> 00:57:09.130
And the Sioux are so fucking good, they dummy us.

1467
00:57:10.170 –> 00:57:13.290
I feel like we should tell the league to have an eye for us folding before playoffs.

1468
00:57:15.990 –> 00:57:16.470
Sanguinette?

1469
00:57:17.450 –> 00:57:17.770
Yeah?

1470
00:57:20.990 –> 00:57:22.150
Give your balls a tug.

1471
00:57:24.850 –> 00:57:26.170
And fade to black.

1472
00:57:27.750 –> 00:57:28.310
All right.

1473
00:57:28.930 –> 00:57:31.850
There is episode one of Schorzy in the books.

1474
00:57:32.730 –> 00:57:33.590
And I start.

1475
00:57:34.610 –> 00:57:36.230
So, I mean, what can I say?

1476
00:57:36.390 –> 00:57:37.230
I loved it.

1477
00:57:37.230 –> 00:57:40.710
I loved this introduction to the Schorzy world.

1478
00:57:41.530 –> 00:57:42.410
I thought it.

1479
00:57:42.550 –> 00:57:43.390
I thought it was really good.

1480
00:57:43.510 –> 00:57:46.210
Now, Matt, you said you made up a comment before that.

1481
00:57:46.210 –> 00:57:47.490
I think it was a cold open.

1482
00:57:47.790 –> 00:57:50.510
Wasn’t as funny or whatever as you were expecting.

1483
00:57:50.750 –> 00:57:54.630
I feel like overall, Letter Kenny was going more for jokes.

1484
00:57:54.690 –> 00:57:56.390
And this is going more for story.

1485
00:57:56.770 –> 00:58:03.990
I mean, I think they’re setting up a lot of characters that have quirks that are going to make us laugh every time those quirks happen.

1486
00:58:03.990 –> 00:58:12.930
But I think the stories that they’re setting up are pretty, you know, very, very much much more deep than here than they are in Letter Kenny.

1487
00:58:13.450 –> 00:58:17.610
Well, it’s an actual story that they exactly they can follow along with.

1488
00:58:17.910 –> 00:58:22.430
Whereas Letter Kenny doesn’t typically they have like story notes that that kind of loop back.

1489
00:58:22.590 –> 00:58:23.990
But this one, they’re like, you’re right.

1490
00:58:24.090 –> 00:58:26.890
You’re setting up a formal story that we’re going to be following along.

1491
00:58:27.430 –> 00:58:32.130
I love the relationship between Schorzy and Sanguinette.

1492
00:58:32.130 –> 00:58:35.810
I think they’re setting that one up to be like their best friends.

1493
00:58:35.810 –> 00:58:40.910
I mean, I know that in the beginning, it seems like Sanguinette’s being walked all over by Schorzy.

1494
00:58:41.030 –> 00:58:47.090
But we’re seeing that Schorzy will do anything for Sanguinette or at least beat the shit out of somebody for Sanguinette.

1495
00:58:47.730 –> 00:58:52.190
So so that’s an interesting relationship there.

1496
00:58:52.630 –> 00:58:58.250
Nat, the GM and Schorzy are very I mean, they’re two peas in a pod.

1497
00:58:58.250 –> 00:59:02.010
I think they’re like, you know, the male and female version of each other.

1498
00:59:02.450 –> 00:59:04.070
I love the backstory they have.

1499
00:59:04.150 –> 00:59:08.530
There were, you know, she’s inherited the the team from her mom.

1500
00:59:09.090 –> 00:59:16.190
If you take a closer look at the pictures behind her in her office, there is one picture I think maybe it’s later on.

1501
00:59:16.230 –> 00:59:17.850
We see it closer up.

1502
00:59:17.890 –> 00:59:20.070
So I’m afraid this might be a spoiler.

1503
00:59:20.510 –> 00:59:22.930
But there is a but it’s it’s in clear sight.

1504
00:59:23.190 –> 00:59:26.230
There’s a picture of her, her mom and Schorzy in the picture.

1505
00:59:26.230 –> 00:59:30.450
So that tells me that the three of them were tight in some way.

1506
00:59:30.770 –> 00:59:40.210
Right. So I think this is like and I’ve seen on a few occasions online saying some people comparing this to like a Canadian version of Ted Lasso.

1507
00:59:40.230 –> 00:59:45.090
And the kind of the parallels are I know, Victor, you’re shaking your head, but the parallels there.

1508
00:59:45.330 –> 00:59:50.190
Somebody is coming in to improve the the the the fortunes of a team.

1509
00:59:50.650 –> 00:59:54.110
And, you know, just one’s hockey, one’s soccer.

1510
00:59:54.110 –> 00:59:58.690
And I OK, Victor, but I haven’t seen a blue spatula yet.

1511
00:59:58.750 –> 01:00:00.490
So maybe I haven’t gone over there.

1512
01:00:00.650 –> 01:00:01.990
He’s reaching for it now.

1513
01:00:02.730 –> 01:00:05.590
I think there’s there’s some parallels there.

1514
01:00:05.590 –> 01:00:09.210
And I think we’re going to see more parallels as the series goes.

1515
01:00:09.810 –> 01:00:11.570
I love the turn of phrase.

1516
01:00:12.290 –> 01:00:13.790
They don’t hate to to lose.

1517
01:00:14.010 –> 01:00:17.010
Sorry. Yeah, they don’t.

1518
01:00:17.270 –> 01:00:18.150
They’re not afraid to win or someone.

1519
01:00:18.270 –> 01:00:20.550
They don’t hate to lose whatever that raises.

1520
01:00:20.550 –> 01:00:22.110
They don’t. I love that.

1521
01:00:22.690 –> 01:00:25.690
It was the best way to it was the best way to describe.

1522
01:00:25.910 –> 01:00:28.330
And I agree. I can’t I can’t remember how they said I wrote it down.

1523
01:00:28.870 –> 01:00:30.210
I quoted it.

1524
01:00:30.330 –> 01:00:30.930
Can you read it?

1525
01:00:31.250 –> 01:00:32.510
They don’t hate to lose.

1526
01:00:32.510 –> 01:00:33.250
Well, I got that part.

1527
01:00:33.410 –> 01:00:37.130
But it’s the part before it that kind of makes that they don’t love to win.

1528
01:00:37.270 –> 01:00:38.230
Yeah, something like that.

1529
01:00:38.230 –> 01:00:39.330
They don’t they don’t hate to.

1530
01:00:39.410 –> 01:00:40.390
That’s what they don’t hate to win.

1531
01:00:40.430 –> 01:00:41.610
They don’t hate to lose.

1532
01:00:41.790 –> 01:00:41.910
We’re sorry.

1533
01:00:42.150 –> 01:00:43.230
They don’t love to win.

1534
01:00:43.250 –> 01:00:43.630
They don’t.

1535
01:00:43.630 –> 01:00:45.570
There’s a big there’s a big statement there.

1536
01:00:45.650 –> 01:00:45.870
Yeah.

1537
01:00:45.870 –> 01:00:46.670
You had it right.

1538
01:00:46.950 –> 01:00:49.350
And then, Al, you corrected her the wrong way.

1539
01:00:49.430 –> 01:00:50.170
Did I?

1540
01:00:50.470 –> 01:00:50.870
Right.

1541
01:00:50.870 –> 01:00:51.590
Try it.

1542
01:00:51.950 –> 01:00:53.630
So just mansplain my words.

1543
01:00:53.650 –> 01:00:54.370
It means they don’t care.

1544
01:00:54.490 –> 01:00:54.650
Yeah.

1545
01:00:54.670 –> 01:00:56.110
They’re not invested in the team.

1546
01:00:56.390 –> 01:00:57.190
I really enjoyed that.

1547
01:00:57.270 –> 01:00:57.550
Yeah.

1548
01:00:57.550 –> 01:01:00.570
But it was so poetically said.

1549
01:01:01.490 –> 01:01:04.110
And and and it was just it was delivered so well.

1550
01:01:04.610 –> 01:01:08.070
Listen, I use I use similar thinking in even my work.

1551
01:01:08.350 –> 01:01:11.590
Like when I when I when I partner with people in my office,

1552
01:01:12.390 –> 01:01:15.790
I look for people who are passionate about what we’re doing.

1553
01:01:15.790 –> 01:01:18.150
If you’ve got someone who can do the job,

1554
01:01:18.430 –> 01:01:22.290
but doesn’t really care about it versus someone who can do the job

1555
01:01:22.290 –> 01:01:24.190
and is excited about it,

1556
01:01:24.190 –> 01:01:27.450
it’s a very different mash up there.

1557
01:01:27.930 –> 01:01:30.770
So I get 100% connected with that statement.

1558
01:01:31.670 –> 01:01:32.230
Yeah.

1559
01:01:32.370 –> 01:01:37.330
Listen to your wife who’s saying Jason saying that on the chat.

1560
01:01:37.530 –> 01:01:39.850
Anyway, those are my my initial thoughts.

1561
01:01:39.910 –> 01:01:40.870
I really enjoyed it.

1562
01:01:40.870 –> 01:01:42.390
I thought it set this up really well.

1563
01:01:42.390 –> 01:01:48.050
And I just love kind of the the difference in character we’re seeing already in

1564
01:01:48.050 –> 01:01:48.230
Schorzy.

1565
01:01:48.270 –> 01:01:49.330
We were all worried.

1566
01:01:49.770 –> 01:01:50.410
What are we going to do?

1567
01:01:50.610 –> 01:01:53.770
How are they going to do a spinoff with a two dimensional character like Schorzy?

1568
01:01:53.830 –> 01:01:56.590
But the nice thing is because he was two dimensional letter Kenny,

1569
01:01:57.170 –> 01:01:58.070
they had a lot to work with.

1570
01:01:58.090 –> 01:02:00.550
They could basically make him out to be whatever they want.

1571
01:02:00.570 –> 01:02:03.390
And so far, it’s an interesting character that they’re building here.

1572
01:02:04.090 –> 01:02:05.230
Victor, what do you think so far?

1573
01:02:06.330 –> 01:02:09.010
Well, my favorite hockey player was the Timmons Tornado.

1574
01:02:09.010 –> 01:02:12.990
So I’ll be rooting for Timmons in this series.

1575
01:02:13.230 –> 01:02:14.670
So we’ll see what happens.

1576
01:02:15.870 –> 01:02:20.090
For those not acquainted, that’s Steve Sullivan.

1577
01:02:20.510 –> 01:02:21.310
He retired already.

1578
01:02:21.310 –> 01:02:22.170
Oh, OK.

1579
01:02:22.350 –> 01:02:23.370
About 10 years ago.

1580
01:02:24.510 –> 01:02:28.890
But anyway, he played for the Leafs, for New Jersey, for Chicago and then for

1581
01:02:28.890 –> 01:02:30.930
Nashville, I think finished his career in Pittsburgh.

1582
01:02:32.150 –> 01:02:35.670
But he was always exciting every time he touched the puck in the end.

1583
01:02:35.670 –> 01:02:42.710
Anyway, so again, I want to make sure that my bias for the subject matter

1584
01:02:45.170 –> 01:02:48.990
doesn’t take, you know, doesn’t disrupt my kind of critique of the

1585
01:02:48.990 –> 01:02:49.310
episode.

1586
01:02:49.510 –> 01:02:51.590
So I’m going to kind of because I love the subject matter.

1587
01:02:51.710 –> 01:02:52.690
I’ve been waiting for this.

1588
01:02:53.190 –> 01:02:56.870
I’ve said I think many times before the very first time I saw a letter

1589
01:02:56.870 –> 01:02:58.610
Kenny, I thought it was going to be a hockey show.

1590
01:02:59.090 –> 01:03:03.450
And then and then, you know, 11 or 10 seasons later, I finally got my

1591
01:03:03.450 –> 01:03:03.930
hockey show.

1592
01:03:03.930 –> 01:03:06.830
So so I love that.

1593
01:03:07.350 –> 01:03:13.090
That said, I think that after kind of watching this episode twice, I see

1594
01:03:13.090 –> 01:03:14.570
lots of room for growth.

1595
01:03:16.070 –> 01:03:17.370
So I enjoyed it.

1596
01:03:17.410 –> 01:03:18.110
I liked it.

1597
01:03:18.170 –> 01:03:21.090
But I can I definitely can pick at it.

1598
01:03:21.510 –> 01:03:25.870
One of the things that I kind of think they I’m hoping they will

1599
01:03:25.870 –> 01:03:29.150
improve on because you did say that you think that they’ve set up some

1600
01:03:29.150 –> 01:03:32.190
very deep, you know, the word deep storyline.

1601
01:03:32.190 –> 01:03:36.770
I hope you’re right, because I think that the premise that they use to

1602
01:03:36.770 –> 01:03:40.170
set up what we’re about to see is kind of ridiculous.

1603
01:03:40.430 –> 01:03:40.910
Right.

1604
01:03:41.030 –> 01:03:42.710
The fact that there’s only four teams.

1605
01:03:43.810 –> 01:03:44.350
So you’re right.

1606
01:03:44.530 –> 01:03:47.970
So and again, I don’t want to I don’t want to, you know, nerd this

1607
01:03:47.970 –> 01:03:48.650
up too much.

1608
01:03:48.750 –> 01:03:50.910
But there’s some practicality to it.

1609
01:03:50.910 –> 01:03:51.070
Right.

1610
01:03:51.090 –> 01:03:55.590
Like how can they fold and that league actually even how can they

1611
01:03:55.590 –> 01:03:57.550
not destroy the league of four teams?

1612
01:03:58.530 –> 01:04:01.450
Like that’s that’s one first thought that comes to my mind.

1613
01:04:01.450 –> 01:04:04.730
Second thought is what the hell is not doing?

1614
01:04:05.050 –> 01:04:09.350
Paying some idiot coach to fly him in or whatever.

1615
01:04:10.130 –> 01:04:14.930
I stay at a hotel when they’ve when there’s such a horrible and like

1616
01:04:14.930 –> 01:04:18.950
they 19 nothing being outscored 19 not nothing by the suit.

1617
01:04:19.190 –> 01:04:21.830
Like what what is she thinking?

1618
01:04:21.870 –> 01:04:24.970
Like I’d hire the local hall monitor.

1619
01:04:25.650 –> 01:04:28.650
And you know, it would make it would be the same result.

1620
01:04:28.650 –> 01:04:31.730
So I don’t that part never made sense to me like Michaels.

1621
01:04:31.910 –> 01:04:34.110
I’m guessing that’s the last we’ll ever see of Michaels.

1622
01:04:34.450 –> 01:04:35.590
But or maybe not.

1623
01:04:35.590 –> 01:04:36.410
Who knows?

1624
01:04:37.390 –> 01:04:38.310
He’ll come back.

1625
01:04:38.350 –> 01:04:39.810
He’ll be the coach of the Timmons team.

1626
01:04:39.810 –> 01:04:40.510
We’ll see.

1627
01:04:42.230 –> 01:04:45.030
But you know, so that’s kind of the other kind of ridiculous

1628
01:04:45.030 –> 01:04:45.630
part of it.

1629
01:04:45.630 –> 01:04:50.470
So I thought that the whole threat of folding kind of seemed

1630
01:04:50.910 –> 01:04:54.450
like it’s just they needed something to set up the rest of the

1631
01:04:54.450 –> 01:04:54.690
season.

1632
01:04:54.850 –> 01:04:55.010
Right.

1633
01:04:55.010 –> 01:04:57.970
So they needed something to get sanguine ad in there as a coach.

1634
01:04:58.410 –> 01:04:59.010
I don’t I don’t know.

1635
01:04:59.010 –> 01:05:01.110
I just felt that if I was in the writing room with them,

1636
01:05:01.130 –> 01:05:04.450
I’d say guys, try harder, try harder.

1637
01:05:04.570 –> 01:05:05.270
Give us something.

1638
01:05:05.530 –> 01:05:07.790
Give us some more real slightly more.

1639
01:05:07.950 –> 01:05:09.350
I get this is just the show,

1640
01:05:09.350 –> 01:05:13.650
but give us just a slightly more realistic arc that gets us to

1641
01:05:13.650 –> 01:05:16.550
work to to to the rest of the to the rest of the season.

1642
01:05:17.450 –> 01:05:19.250
So I enjoyed the episode.

1643
01:05:19.310 –> 01:05:22.770
I just felt like they could have done a little bit better with

1644
01:05:22.770 –> 01:05:23.250
the setup.

1645
01:05:24.490 –> 01:05:24.890
Okay.

1646
01:05:24.890 –> 01:05:27.250
There’s no reason they needed to make it a four team league.

1647
01:05:27.570 –> 01:05:30.230
They could have said a six or eight or 10 team.

1648
01:05:30.410 –> 01:05:31.330
Yeah, why not?

1649
01:05:31.430 –> 01:05:33.910
Then it’s a little then you can kind of say, you know,

1650
01:05:34.850 –> 01:05:36.190
digest a little bit better.

1651
01:05:36.910 –> 01:05:40.210
Trace tried to remind us that the NHL was once a six team

1652
01:05:40.210 –> 01:05:40.750
league for sure.

1653
01:05:40.810 –> 01:05:41.930
But to your point,

1654
01:05:42.230 –> 01:05:44.630
if it’s a four team league and one of the teams folds,

1655
01:05:44.710 –> 01:05:47.090
then it’s only a three team league and you can’t have a

1656
01:05:47.090 –> 01:05:48.090
league with only three teams.

1657
01:05:48.930 –> 01:05:49.990
So there’s that.

1658
01:05:50.150 –> 01:05:52.070
I don’t disagree with that for sure.

1659
01:05:52.070 –> 01:05:52.970
10.

1660
01:05:53.130 –> 01:05:53.970
What’d you think?

1661
01:05:55.630 –> 01:05:56.590
So scene one,

1662
01:05:56.870 –> 01:05:59.650
we saw that scene already because that was part of one of

1663
01:05:59.650 –> 01:06:02.070
the trailers that was released for sure.

1664
01:06:02.070 –> 01:06:04.770
So we’d already kind of seen it.

1665
01:06:04.770 –> 01:06:06.470
It wasn’t a surprise.

1666
01:06:07.210 –> 01:06:10.670
The first time I had seen it in the, in the trailer.

1667
01:06:11.010 –> 01:06:14.790
And this time as well, I thought, okay, what a, you know,

1668
01:06:14.790 –> 01:06:15.930
a week coach,

1669
01:06:16.070 –> 01:06:18.850
why would sure is he ever work so hard?

1670
01:06:18.850 –> 01:06:20.750
Because at the end of letter Kenny,

1671
01:06:20.750 –> 01:06:23.090
we saw him, you know,

1672
01:06:23.350 –> 01:06:27.410
skating until he was puking to try to get onto this league

1673
01:06:27.410 –> 01:06:30.050
that he just has now,

1674
01:06:30.050 –> 01:06:34.270
like he’s barfing and shitting because they discussed them so

1675
01:06:34.270 –> 01:06:34.570
bad.

1676
01:06:34.770 –> 01:06:36.630
And it just that,

1677
01:06:36.910 –> 01:06:38.950
that the connection there didn’t really make sense.

1678
01:06:39.150 –> 01:06:40.670
I know that they’re separate entities.

1679
01:06:40.890 –> 01:06:45.110
So I was trying to put that aside, but yeah, the,

1680
01:06:45.110 –> 01:06:48.910
the weak coach and you know,

1681
01:06:48.910 –> 01:06:50.870
I loved to see him doing his sure as he thing.

1682
01:06:51.670 –> 01:06:56.810
Being on the, the on the toilet and doing all of that.

1683
01:06:56.950 –> 01:06:58.710
So that was that.

1684
01:06:59.090 –> 01:06:59.990
Scene two.

1685
01:07:00.130 –> 01:07:02.490
And then as we’re continuing on through the story,

1686
01:07:02.690 –> 01:07:06.670
I do love how there was more of a story and,

1687
01:07:06.670 –> 01:07:18.150
more background and more, more storyline to it. It feels a whole lot meatier than if we’re

1688
01:07:18.150 –> 01:07:25.150
referencing it back to Letter Kenny. I love the dynamic between Schorzy and Nat. I love Nat’s

1689
01:07:26.790 –> 01:07:32.130
character. She’s so powerful. She does remind me of Tanis. Again, sorry, I’m comparing the two,

1690
01:07:32.130 –> 01:07:40.850
but the banter between Wayne and Tanis is so similar to Schorzy and Nat. They’re two powerful

1691
01:07:42.090 –> 01:07:46.630
characters kind of going head to head with each other and she holds it. She holds her own.

1692
01:07:46.930 –> 01:07:53.820
He respects her. He doesn’t chirp at her or anything like that. And she speaks so

1693
01:07:57.080 –> 01:08:02.920
well on her point, her view. Again, she’s like, I don’t know hockey. I don’t care about hockey.

1694
01:08:03.080 –> 01:08:09.260
I want bums and seats. She’s just that straight up businesswoman that knows what she wants

1695
01:08:09.260 –> 01:08:16.680
and she is trying like hell to get it, right? So I love that part. Seguinette and Schorzy,

1696
01:08:16.680 –> 01:08:24.840
you keep on referencing out their relationship and you see it when Nat is giving Schorzy the

1697
01:08:24.840 –> 01:08:34.000
folding speech and him holding back the tears. I love Schorzy and his reaction and those

1698
01:08:34.000 –> 01:08:42.399
tiny little sounds that he was making and even his hand motion of him wiping his eye

1699
01:08:43.359 –> 01:08:52.240
and how he wiped his eye. It wasn’t just nonchalantly wiping it away. It was a few

1700
01:08:52.240 –> 01:09:05.520
different wipes. And reaching out for Seguinette just kind of support me. And again, that goes

1701
01:09:05.520 –> 01:09:13.060
back to what you’re saying out. They have a relationship there and it really shows true

1702
01:09:13.060 –> 01:09:19.160
in that moment, I felt. And actually that was in my notes, but it was also mentioned

1703
01:09:19.680 –> 01:09:25.000
by one of our listeners as well. I can’t remember who the heck it was.

1704
01:09:25.479 –> 01:09:33.779
Anyways, it was in the feed as well. What was I going to say? Yeah, Nat, I loved her

1705
01:09:33.779 –> 01:09:43.720
performance. She’s just going to be a great character to watch. I kind of hope that,

1706
01:09:43.819 –> 01:09:52.540
because I know with Letter Kenny, it just kind of jumped from one episode and it didn’t really

1707
01:09:52.540 –> 01:09:58.140
follow through. It a little bit did, but it didn’t really carry it. So I don’t know what

1708
01:09:58.140 –> 01:10:06.780
one will do if this one will have a sequence of some kind to go from one to the other.

1709
01:10:06.940 –> 01:10:10.860
Will it stick to the story or will we have a completely different story next episode?

1710
01:10:11.180 –> 01:10:17.020
Yeah. Will it be about four different new different characters? Well, we know that

1711
01:10:17.020 –> 01:10:27.420
there’s characters coming. I do like Victor’s points that they’re spending all this money on

1712
01:10:27.420 –> 01:10:36.200
a coach. And yeah, it is a little bit of a loss there on storyline.

1713
01:10:36.520 –> 01:10:40.280
She’s a businesswoman. She wants bums and seats. Maybe she hired this coach because

1714
01:10:40.280 –> 01:10:45.820
he used to be a pro coach thinking that he would change their fortunes. And obviously

1715
01:10:45.820 –> 01:10:55.780
he didn’t. So maybe that’s why. Matt? Yeah, I think it’s fallen a tone of the cold open.

1716
01:10:56.460 –> 01:11:03.720
I think this was a necessary episode to set. So they basically are fast tracking as much as they

1717
01:11:03.720 –> 01:11:10.040
could in one, whatever, 25, 30 minute episode or whatever it was to set the stage so they

1718
01:11:10.040 –> 01:11:15.340
can then pace themselves beyond this is what I think has happened here. We were given 10

1719
01:11:15.340 –> 01:11:19.940
season of the other characters, one episode of this is effects of this. It didn’t make it a

1720
01:11:19.940 –> 01:11:23.320
bad thing. It’s just, that’s what they did. They’re really just expediting everything.

1721
01:11:23.320 –> 01:11:28.960
From the story perspective, I think it’s fine. I feel like I’ve heard this story a few times

1722
01:11:28.960 –> 01:11:34.840
over the years in different movies and shows, but it’s small town. I get it. I’m not going

1723
01:11:34.840 –> 01:11:39.920
to nitpick that. It works for what they’re doing and where they’re heading. So I’m okay

1724
01:11:39.920 –> 01:11:44.520
with it, but I’ve definitely seen this story before where we need to find a way to get

1725
01:11:44.520 –> 01:11:50.580
bums and seats. We need to revamp the team. It’s not a new story, but it’s fine.

1726
01:11:50.580 –> 01:11:53.360
The story doesn’t have to be original if the characters are original.

1727
01:11:53.620 –> 01:11:57.180
Do you agree? And that’s why I’m not nipping. I just want to call that. I know what Victor was

1728
01:11:57.180 –> 01:12:05.960
saying. I get it. I totally agree. I’ve heard this story before. That said, let me call it

1729
01:12:05.960 –> 01:12:12.800
right away. I’m totally, totally crushing on MiGuan. Oh my God, I love her. She’s so cute.

1730
01:12:13.360 –> 01:12:18.560
And I have to say that out loud this episode because she’s my new fave. Sanguine, where’s

1731
01:12:18.560 –> 01:12:24.760
he been? This kid, you said this is his second credit? Yeah, he’s only got two credits on his

1732
01:12:24.760 –> 01:12:31.260
IMDB. This kid’s a rock star already. I love him. I’m absolutely enthralled by him.

1733
01:12:31.940 –> 01:12:37.540
And I have watched a couple of episodes he had. I think he is. Yeah, yeah, whatever.

1734
01:12:37.760 –> 01:12:44.980
I did it. We did it. But I think what he brings to the table is the perfect balance

1735
01:12:44.980 –> 01:12:52.080
against Shorzy. And they play off each other so well. And I’m so glad that he is part of this

1736
01:12:52.080 –> 01:12:58.080
show. Again, I don’t know who he is. He’s new to the scene. But welcome to this thing,

1737
01:12:58.220 –> 01:13:02.520
man. Because you’re delivering on all cylinders and I’m absolutely loving it.

1738
01:13:02.680 –> 01:13:10.200
So I’m a Sanguine fan all in right now. So that’s big. One comment I’ll make,

1739
01:13:10.200 –> 01:13:14.820
and this is an observation from a Shorzy perspective, is the fuck you, Shorzy.

1740
01:13:15.520 –> 01:13:22.480
What I’ve realized is there’s a bit of a hierarchy in how he addresses and responds

1741
01:13:22.480 –> 01:13:29.960
to fuck you, Shorzy. Interesting. So when he’s reffing or he’s talking to the coach

1742
01:13:29.960 –> 01:13:34.880
and anyone he doesn’t, he almost seems like he thinks lower than him. He bashes back and

1743
01:13:34.880 –> 01:13:39.940
he does his Shorzy chirp with no hesitation and he delivers and just destroys them.

1744
01:13:40.200 –> 01:13:45.300
When you get people like Nat or other other folks, especially the females,

1745
01:13:47.080 –> 01:13:55.320
there’s this, what for? For what? For what? For what? He immediately is on the defense

1746
01:13:55.320 –> 01:14:01.540
and he backs down very quickly. So he definitely has a tone in how he responds to

1747
01:14:01.540 –> 01:14:06.960
the fuck you, Shorzy comments based on who you are and what you’re bringing to

1748
01:14:06.960 –> 01:14:10.800
his situation. I thought that was very interesting because they’re all saying it,

1749
01:14:10.800 –> 01:14:14.440
right? It’s not like it’s just like that. I like that they’ve continued it on and they’ve

1750
01:14:14.440 –> 01:14:18.880
really set the lines between the various characters and who can say it and who cannot.

1751
01:14:19.580 –> 01:14:25.280
That’s a typical thing for bullies. I remember in high school, we had Billy Cook. Sorry,

1752
01:14:25.380 –> 01:14:32.120
Billy, if you’re listening. He went by William. The teachers called him William.

1753
01:14:33.020 –> 01:14:38.060
His acquaintances called him Billy and his close friends called him Slim. He was a big man.

1754
01:14:41.580 –> 01:14:47.080
One of the less popular kids called him Slim and the guy got totally destroyed against the

1755
01:14:47.080 –> 01:14:55.080
locker. Again, his friends called him Slim. No problem. Somebody else called him Slim and

1756
01:14:55.080 –> 01:14:59.680
then he gets beat on. It’s a typical bully thing. That’s a great point. You’re not

1757
01:14:59.680 –> 01:15:04.560
wrong at all. I don’t think it happened yet, but I keep waiting for a moment at some point

1758
01:15:04.560 –> 01:15:08.620
in the series where Sanguinette’s going to turn around and be like, fuck you, Shorzy,

1759
01:15:08.840 –> 01:15:15.260
and then he’s going to be like just a deer in the light. That’s my prediction at some point.

1760
01:15:15.300 –> 01:15:20.980
He’s going to lash out on them, but I love it. I think this is a fantastic start

1761
01:15:21.640 –> 01:15:25.000
to the cold open point. Was it the funniest episode of anything? No,

1762
01:15:25.040 –> 01:15:29.160
but I think this is a necessary episode to set up everything that’s about to come.

1763
01:15:29.780 –> 01:15:35.260
Who looks at Shorzy though and goes, huh, we need a ref for the young kids.

1764
01:15:35.340 –> 01:15:38.160
Well, he was a ref on Mudder Kenny, so he had experience.

1765
01:15:39.540 –> 01:15:46.640
Okay, but now he’s better well known. He’s known for being dirty. He’s known for being

1766
01:15:47.740 –> 01:15:50.460
chirping. He was doing a great job as a ref. He even said, hey,

1767
01:15:50.600 –> 01:15:54.220
if you guys don’t simmer down, I’m going to take one of you, which is what refs do.

1768
01:15:54.340 –> 01:15:59.660
That’s how they threaten players. It’s like one of you is going to get in trouble. You

1769
01:15:59.660 –> 01:16:06.060
really enjoyed those roughing scenes. I take the one that retaliates every time.

1770
01:16:08.280 –> 01:16:15.100
Again, he’s being supportive of the kids, but he’s also chirping them. The thing is,

1771
01:16:15.100 –> 01:16:18.240
he’s not chirping them as hard as they’re chirping back at him, which-

1772
01:16:18.240 –> 01:16:18.980
You don’t think?

1773
01:16:19.100 –> 01:16:19.780
No, no.

1774
01:16:19.780 –> 01:16:24.860
Yeah, no. He was cute to them. He was more rough on their mothers, but to them he was-

1775
01:16:24.860 –> 01:16:31.900
He was actually encouraging to them at some point, but the kids being teenagers, they see him and

1776
01:16:31.900 –> 01:16:38.440
they see an old guy who’s reffing teenage hockey and somebody they don’t need to respect, right?

1777
01:16:38.780 –> 01:16:45.040
But you can tell there’s history there. He knows them all by name and it’s hilarious.

1778
01:16:46.200 –> 01:16:49.440
No, he’s calling them by their first names.

1779
01:16:50.260 –> 01:16:53.400
I don’t think they would want any other ref. I think they’re loving it.

1780
01:16:53.960 –> 01:16:55.180
It’s like a big brother thing.

1781
01:16:55.500 –> 01:16:56.020
Yeah, I think so.

1782
01:16:56.420 –> 01:16:59.600
On that quick point, what do you think the timeline is? Because where we left in Letter

1783
01:16:59.600 –> 01:17:04.120
County, he was on his way to Sudbury and now we’re here. He’s very well established.

1784
01:17:04.300 –> 01:17:09.040
You guys said he knows all their names. He’s part of your community now.

1785
01:17:09.400 –> 01:17:10.820
What do we think in the timeline here?

1786
01:17:11.000 –> 01:17:14.340
Oh, I thought it was like same within the months.

1787
01:17:14.560 –> 01:17:16.600
Are we saying the season? Because there are 20 losses.

1788
01:17:17.140 –> 01:17:22.560
He went to go join them to start the season, maybe. I don’t know. That would make sense.

1789
01:17:22.560 –> 01:17:25.100
Robbie, you haven’t said anything yet, so we apologize.

1790
01:17:26.140 –> 01:17:30.660
Don’t worry. Tanya, my guess is that he’s the only person willing to spend his Friday evening.

1791
01:17:31.400 –> 01:17:35.160
What else is he going to do? Work in customer service? I mean, come on.

1792
01:17:36.020 –> 01:17:39.520
Oh my God. Can you imagine Shorzy in customer service?

1793
01:17:40.480 –> 01:17:42.880
We need to do a skit of that.

1794
01:17:43.800 –> 01:17:45.140
What did you think of this episode?

1795
01:17:45.820 –> 01:17:52.240
I have zero complaints. I really liked it. I think it’s a different genre.

1796
01:17:52.560 –> 01:17:57.280
Letter Kenny, where Letter Kenny is a straight comedy. This is much more like a sports genre.

1797
01:17:58.380 –> 01:18:04.100
I don’t mind that there’s not as many constant jokes, especially with all the exposition they

1798
01:18:04.100 –> 01:18:16.580
had to jam in to, I think it was like 23 minutes. I love that it’s very obvious that

1799
01:18:16.580 –> 01:18:23.580
Shorzy does not give a fuck about anything but hockey. Nothing at all, but he cares so

1800
01:18:23.580 –> 01:18:28.400
much about hockey. He’s giving that kid shit and the kid says, your team’s folding. Wait,

1801
01:18:28.640 –> 01:18:31.800
you’re folding? He chased him off the ice.

1802
01:18:32.540 –> 01:18:41.320
His tone is such a funny shift. He also had, I think, even through all of Letter

1803
01:18:41.320 –> 01:18:47.680
Kenny, my favorite chirp ever by Shorzy was when he tells the kid, what’s fucked is how

1804
01:18:47.680 –> 01:18:51.140
many times your mom has told me that a jellyfish stung her, so I’ll piss on her.

1805
01:18:51.140 –> 01:18:56.080
I love that one. That’s a Hall of Fame chirp right there.

1806
01:18:57.380 –> 01:19:06.600
Ever. I had no complaints at all. I think that as the show goes on, it gets funnier,

1807
01:19:07.820 –> 01:19:10.440
but I guess I’m not supposed to talk about future episodes.

1808
01:19:10.440 –> 01:19:11.480
No spoilers.

1809
01:19:12.420 –> 01:19:14.260
Blue spatula by Victor.

1810
01:19:16.220 –> 01:19:22.560
But yeah, I really liked it. Another thing that I noticed that they’re setting up right away,

1811
01:19:23.560 –> 01:19:28.470
and I know when you were doing episodes of Letter Kenny, you talked a lot about

1812
01:19:29.680 –> 01:19:36.800
them subtly making social commentary. I noticed right away that everyone in the episode that has

1813
01:19:36.800 –> 01:19:43.800
power is a typically underrepresented person. The lead anchor in the open is a woman.

1814
01:19:44.760 –> 01:19:49.060
Sanguinette is going to become a coach. He’s an indigenous person. They’re owners,

1815
01:19:50.060 –> 01:19:57.300
are women, and I believe that continues. None of the people in power are white men.

1816
01:19:58.700 –> 01:20:03.340
Interesting. Yeah, I mean, I don’t think that’s an accident. No, you’re right.

1817
01:20:03.340 –> 01:20:08.300
Yeah, yeah. No, you’re spot on. I mean, we’re not going to, but there are other things

1818
01:20:08.300 –> 01:20:11.480
in further episodes. I think they really took the time.

1819
01:20:12.280 –> 01:20:16.340
I’m not going into specifics, but I give it to Robbie’s point.

1820
01:20:16.640 –> 01:20:22.900
They’ve really taken the time to really focus effort on things they don’t normally do.

1821
01:20:23.320 –> 01:20:25.500
So in a smart way, they don’t hit you over the head with it.

1822
01:20:25.500 –> 01:20:26.640
Right. No, not at all.

1823
01:20:27.320 –> 01:20:30.880
Very good. All right. So let’s move on to something we haven’t done in

1824
01:20:30.880 –> 01:20:34.820
months. Ratings. And I’m first. I get to go first. And you know what?

1825
01:20:35.300 –> 01:20:37.240
Wait, do we do ratings before we do MVP?

1826
01:20:37.500 –> 01:20:38.620
Yes. Yes. Absolutely.

1827
01:20:38.760 –> 01:20:39.680
I forget now.

1828
01:20:40.100 –> 01:20:42.040
Me too. Do we talk anymore?

1829
01:20:42.220 –> 01:20:43.640
Daniel, we didn’t expect you to remember.

1830
01:20:44.000 –> 01:20:49.420
To remind our audience, and I haven’t thought of a Shorzy analog to our rating system.

1831
01:20:49.700 –> 01:20:53.080
So because we’re still at ProtoStand, we’re going to stick to our fresh

1832
01:20:53.080 –> 01:20:55.360
clearance and compost rating system. So.

1833
01:20:55.360 –> 01:20:56.900
It should be a hockey reference now.

1834
01:20:57.420 –> 01:21:00.080
Well, if you can think of one, great. But I’m going to go with fresh

1835
01:21:00.080 –> 01:21:04.100
clearance and compost. And I’m going to, I’m going to give this one a fresh because

1836
01:21:04.980 –> 01:21:08.580
that everything it should have done as a first episode, it set up the characters,

1837
01:21:08.740 –> 01:21:14.880
it set up the stories. It was funny. It beat expectations because my expectations were low

1838
01:21:14.880 –> 01:21:20.760
of a show about some character like Shorzy. And I, after watching that episode,

1839
01:21:20.860 –> 01:21:25.080
I really liked Shorzy, the character. I really enjoyed him. I thought I loved,

1840
01:21:25.100 –> 01:21:29.740
I love what they did with him. I liked the setup they have with Nat and me and Zeke and

1841
01:21:29.740 –> 01:21:36.400
all that stuff. And yes, it is a very well-worn trope of, you know, taking a losing team and

1842
01:21:36.400 –> 01:21:43.920
trying to make them not never lose again. So like I said, the, the, the storyline.

1843
01:21:44.820 –> 01:21:47.620
Oh, goal, assist and penalty. The storyline.

1844
01:21:49.840 –> 01:21:55.340
Doesn’t have to be original if the characters are original. And I firmly believe that these

1845
01:21:55.340 –> 01:22:00.440
are the most original characters on TV. Like I’ve never seen characters like these before. So

1846
01:22:01.000 –> 01:22:03.660
I’m going to give this one a fresh. Victor?

1847
01:22:05.720 –> 01:22:10.620
So I’m going to give this the rating system a thought. I’m already thinking that the

1848
01:22:10.620 –> 01:22:14.840
first, first place or the fresh should be something like the Cordie Howe hat trick

1849
01:22:14.840 –> 01:22:18.240
or something like that. But I’ll, I’ll, I’ll noodle, I’ll noodle on that one for now.

1850
01:22:18.320 –> 01:22:21.500
We’ll, we’ll stick with the rating. I like Jeff’s here. Jeff’s was goal,

1851
01:22:21.500 –> 01:22:28.280
assist and penalty. No, I like it. It just, it feels a little bit on the surface. I, I, yeah,

1852
01:22:28.280 –> 01:22:36.220
I, it works. We need something a little more clever. Anyway, so, so for this one,

1853
01:22:36.560 –> 01:22:39.840
Al, I agree mostly with everything you said. I’m not sure that it was funny.

1854
01:22:40.020 –> 01:22:44.880
It was, it had some couple of kind of giggles and here and there mostly with

1855
01:22:45.640 –> 01:22:51.340
um, shores, these kind of little, little isms and stuff like that. But a couple of chirps here

1856
01:22:51.340 –> 01:22:54.880
and there, but for the most part, I wouldn’t call it a funny episode, but everything else

1857
01:22:54.880 –> 01:23:00.400
you said, I think was on point that that said, again, I just, my issue with the episode

1858
01:23:00.400 –> 01:23:04.560
wasn’t, or with the things that I critique, wasn’t the trophy part. Like that’s fine. I,

1859
01:23:04.640 –> 01:23:08.780
you know, whatever you use a trope. I just didn’t, I thought it was just a little lazy,

1860
01:23:08.920 –> 01:23:12.840
like in terms of the, the thing with the four teams, they should have thrown in,

1861
01:23:12.840 –> 01:23:18.980
it should have been a slightly bigger league to give it a little bit more juice. The whole idea of,

1862
01:23:19.360 –> 01:23:23.740
oh, we’re going to threaten to fold because the whole friend fold that that trope, I think has

1863
01:23:23.740 –> 01:23:27.460
been around forever and ever, including major league. I think that was the trope of major

1864
01:23:27.460 –> 01:23:32.080
league. If you guys remember that movie, I think that the owner was threatening to fold a team.

1865
01:23:32.080 –> 01:23:42.800
Um, it’s just a threat to fold a team in a 14. It just seems so ridiculous. And,

1866
01:23:42.800 –> 01:23:46.760
it keeps you from having to give it to fresh. I have to give it a clearance because I think

1867
01:23:46.760 –> 01:23:51.820
that we need room for improvement. And I’m very excited about the, how they’re setting us up. I

1868
01:23:51.820 –> 01:23:57.200
can’t wait to meet these, um, in-breadths that he’s going to bring in. Uh, and, and, and,

1869
01:23:57.200 –> 01:24:01.260
and, you know, so we’re going to learn kind of the layers of him actually interacting with

1870
01:24:01.260 –> 01:24:06.180
people and, and, and stuff like that. Saying on that, uh, we’ll talk more about him, but yeah,

1871
01:24:06.180 –> 01:24:12.300
that was, you know, uh, incredible. So I’m very excited about this for what, what’s about

1872
01:24:12.300 –> 01:24:16.780
to come, but I want to make sure that I’m not setting the bar too high at the beginning. Um,

1873
01:24:16.860 –> 01:24:22.380
or to, I don’t know what it is, but that I’m not over overreacting to what we saw and, uh,

1874
01:24:22.500 –> 01:24:26.160
to give it a clearance. Trace wants to choke you by the way. Anyway, I don’t know.

1875
01:24:27.900 –> 01:24:29.060
I’m okay with it.

1876
01:24:29.060 –> 01:24:31.780
Tanya, we’re literally going to choke you. What are you giving this?

1877
01:24:33.340 –> 01:24:40.520
Um, I see, and I, I’m the, I’m different from Victor cause I thought, um, it gave some

1878
01:24:40.520 –> 01:24:46.340
mentions finally to Schorzy. And I was thoroughly impressed and surprised because

1879
01:24:46.340 –> 01:24:51.160
I really didn’t know what was going to happen and how you could build on the character that

1880
01:24:51.160 –> 01:24:58.040
we knew. Um, and I love that they gave him that kind of, um, soft side, if you will,

1881
01:24:58.160 –> 01:25:04.280
of, of, and I, and I did laugh. Like I, I thought it was funny how he choked up and

1882
01:25:04.280 –> 01:25:11.300
his tears away. And here’s this guy that, you know, has no, he doesn’t even bat an eye,

1883
01:25:11.460 –> 01:25:18.920
like hitting somebody from behind with a stick. Um, but then he chokes up and, and is, is

1884
01:25:18.920 –> 01:25:23.420
saying, you know, just told me no, because I’d like to get a little cry in before that comes

1885
01:25:23.420 –> 01:25:29.880
so that I didn’t like, I, and, and how he reaches out for, for, um, a segue net.

1886
01:25:29.880 –> 01:25:36.900
And I love that the, the, the, the new characters to, or not new or the characters, not new. I

1887
01:25:36.900 –> 01:25:44.020
shouldn’t stop referencing letter Kenny. I like the characters that they have and that, um,

1888
01:25:44.040 –> 01:25:50.240
you know, Nat is absolutely a hundred percent somebody I can get behind. Um, and, and,

1889
01:25:50.240 –> 01:26:01.860
so is, um, um, segue net and, and not, and the girls, um, and, uh, I’m looking forward to,

1890
01:26:01.860 –> 01:26:08.480
um, more characters development on them, but I loved already, um, the, the, um,

1891
01:26:09.320 –> 01:26:18.620
the relationships there. Um, anyways, yeah, I’m going to give it, uh, um, uh, where are we

1892
01:26:18.620 –> 01:26:26.020
fresh? Clearance or compost? It will, it will definitely be, um, a fresh.

1893
01:26:26.280 –> 01:26:32.260
All right. Yeah. I don’t think, uh, uh, trace will want to choke you then, uh, Matt,

1894
01:26:33.220 –> 01:26:36.280
unless you give consent, I guess, but, uh, anyway,

1895
01:26:40.840 –> 01:26:45.800
trace. So just, and there’s a lot of chat in the, in the chat space around the scoring

1896
01:26:45.800 –> 01:26:50.800
system. We’ll figure this out, but I’m just putting my, my, I don’t have the other two figured

1897
01:26:50.800 –> 01:26:56.600
out, but the fresh should be a beauty is, is my, is, is my say in my take on that one,

1898
01:26:56.620 –> 01:27:00.260
a beauty, it just feels fitting. It feels appropriate. It’s a beauty.

1899
01:27:00.260 –> 01:27:05.180
It should be, it should be Schorzy references. Give your balls a tug.

1900
01:27:05.600 –> 01:27:09.800
Yeah. The, the Marsha, the compost could be the Marshawn.

1901
01:27:10.540 –> 01:27:15.160
Hmm. All right. But I’m just saying for the, for the fresh, I think it should be beauty.

1902
01:27:15.300 –> 01:27:20.240
I think, you know, it’s a beauty. Um, anyways, that’s my say. So in this one, it’s a beauty.

1903
01:27:20.540 –> 01:27:26.920
It’s a fresh, um, it was, it was a great way to kick it off. Um, did, did I hope for a

1904
01:27:26.920 –> 01:27:30.220
little more laughs? Yeah. But I think the story was there. I think they introduced some

1905
01:27:30.220 –> 01:27:35.200
fantastic characters. They gave us a bit of everything. They set the story off from success.

1906
01:27:35.200 –> 01:27:42.620
There really wasn’t much to complain about. Um, and you gave a sanguinette and I love him and

1907
01:27:42.620 –> 01:27:48.880
I can’t wait for more and more of this kid because he just delivered man. So yeah, it’s

1908
01:27:48.880 –> 01:27:54.000
a beauty and, um, it works for me. I, I, I’m really, really looking forward to this again.

1909
01:27:54.020 –> 01:27:59.940
Like I said, I love sports stories and this is going to be a sports story.

1910
01:27:59.980 –> 01:28:01.360
Do you think it will be though?

1911
01:28:01.360 –> 01:28:06.180
Yes, a hundred percent. Why would they spend so much time just setting up all these different

1912
01:28:06.180 –> 01:28:09.340
new ones? So wanted to write a show about hockey and this is his love.

1913
01:28:10.520 –> 01:28:14.880
Think about letter Kenny that every episode is very defined topic. They’re like,

1914
01:28:14.880 –> 01:28:17.940
we’re just going to talk about the prostate. This episode, we’re just going to talk.

1915
01:28:18.100 –> 01:28:22.640
They didn’t do that. They talked about who everyone was, what’s going on, what’s the

1916
01:28:22.640 –> 01:28:26.620
biggest problem. Who’s the protagonist who’s spending a lot of time educating people who

1917
01:28:26.620 –> 01:28:31.820
don’t know about hockey, about submarineing slew foot. This is, this is a hockey.

1918
01:28:31.960 –> 01:28:36.680
It would feel like we would also, I think we would be, we would be very annoyed if we

1919
01:28:36.680 –> 01:28:39.860
got to the next episode and they went and did a whole like separate, Hey,

1920
01:28:39.860 –> 01:28:42.360
we’re going to do a tournament weekend that has nothing to do with anything.

1921
01:28:42.480 –> 01:28:45.980
We just talked about what makes the best burger in Sudbury. Wait, wait,

1922
01:28:45.980 –> 01:28:49.560
you’re not going to fold folding is not even a topic anymore. What do you mean? Like, no,

1923
01:28:49.600 –> 01:28:55.160
I, I, this is very intentional. We’re getting a story and I’m looking forward to seeing

1924
01:28:55.160 –> 01:29:00.600
where it goes, especially the people that he’s talking about bringing in that I think is going

1925
01:29:00.600 –> 01:29:05.180
to set up some fantastic. Stop watching shows. All the detail that they’re putting into.

1926
01:29:05.300 –> 01:29:08.000
No, they talked about it. They said they’re bringing, they want to bring in the natives.

1927
01:29:08.000 –> 01:29:12.940
I thought you were referencing something. All the small, all the small details they’re

1928
01:29:12.940 –> 01:29:17.660
giving even like those, those scenes where he’s reffing the way he’s reffing,

1929
01:29:18.360 –> 01:29:21.700
he’s doing it exactly like it would be done at a hockey game.

1930
01:29:21.700 –> 01:29:26.860
And we’re just getting a bet behind the scenes. Look at this. This is absolutely 100% going to

1931
01:29:26.860 –> 01:29:30.740
be a love letter to hockey. And if you don’t know anything about hockey and you watch Shorzy,

1932
01:29:30.840 –> 01:29:35.620
you’re going to know a whole lot more about hockey when you’re done. For sure. Robbie.

1933
01:29:36.180 –> 01:29:40.420
Um, I, I totally agree with that. I think one of the things I like about the show is I feel

1934
01:29:40.420 –> 01:29:45.880
like, uh, happy for queso that obviously he loves comedy, but hockey has been such a big

1935
01:29:45.880 –> 01:29:49.700
part of his life that I’m almost like just happy for him that he gets to create this

1936
01:29:49.700 –> 01:29:57.080
around that, that other, you know, big part of his life. Yeah. Um, I, uh, I think, um, Victor,

1937
01:29:57.380 –> 01:30:02.880
I have a blue spatula as well. The next time you talk about a high school bully, I’ll pull

1938
01:30:02.880 –> 01:30:14.040
it out. I don’t have a problem with the ridiculous 14 league thing. Um, I think that’s,

1939
01:30:14.040 –> 01:30:17.440
that’s intentional, um, that they’re, they’re trying to say, what is,

1940
01:30:17.440 –> 01:30:23.540
the most absurd idea and things like how, how infinitely small that could be. Um, I think that

1941
01:30:23.540 –> 01:30:31.100
that’s intentional. I don’t have a problem with that. Um, the, uh, it’s, it’s, uh, it’s

1942
01:30:31.100 –> 01:30:38.060
definitely, um, a, uh, a fresh for me. It’s, it’s, uh, I think it’s great for a lot of

1943
01:30:38.060 –> 01:30:45.240
reasons. People have, um, people have already talked about, uh, the, and I think going

1944
01:30:45.240 –> 01:30:50.460
forward, uh, Tanya, I think a lot of your, your concerns, I think you’re gonna be very happy with

1945
01:30:50.460 –> 01:31:00.140
kind of the, the story arc. I’ve, I’ve watched the, um, entire series. I’m not giving any,

1946
01:31:00.140 –> 01:31:04.300
any foreshadowing, but, um, have they released everything? Yeah, it’s all done.

1947
01:31:04.420 –> 01:31:09.160
It’s all in the States and Canada don’t know and don’t care. It’s great.

1948
01:31:10.540 –> 01:31:13.980
And in Canada and States? Yes. Oh, I thought it was like

1949
01:31:13.980 –> 01:31:19.020
I’ve, I think, I believe it was letter Kenny memes who said she’s already watched through all,

1950
01:31:19.020 –> 01:31:23.760
all the episodes, like five or six times. Wait a second. Did we not have this conversation?

1951
01:31:24.020 –> 01:31:28.480
Come on, see, Matt, you need to take that back. I thought there was a conversation that

1952
01:31:28.480 –> 01:31:32.980
they were releasing only onesie Tuesdays at a time. They were releasing two episodes at a time

1953
01:31:32.980 –> 01:31:39.220
in Canada, but there’s only six episodes. So we’re done when it really starts two at a

1954
01:31:39.220 –> 01:31:43.400
week, two per week until aligned with the U S release where they released the whole thing

1955
01:31:43.400 –> 01:31:48.880
once. Yeah. The U S got it all in one dump back on Friday. We kind of got it ahead of them,

1956
01:31:48.880 –> 01:31:53.480
but we, we didn’t get the whole thing. We all got the same. Yeah. Yeah. It’s okay. We got

1957
01:31:53.480 –> 01:31:58.260
the last one together. Oh, good, man. It’s all good. Yeah. Gotcha. Um, all right. So fresh

1958
01:31:58.260 –> 01:32:03.080
from Robbie. So, I mean, you know, now we would talk about top fives, but obviously this

1959
01:32:03.080 –> 01:32:08.360
is the first episode of the series. So this is everyone’s number one. Uh, but Robbie,

1960
01:32:08.360 –> 01:32:13.980
I gave you some homework because, yeah, mine could be a number two. What would you put

1961
01:32:13.980 –> 01:32:20.340
at number one? It’s not the point now. Anyway, this is, this is everyone’s number one. Uh,

1962
01:32:20.340 –> 01:32:25.120
we will talk about whether it’s number two next week. There’s only, okay, we have to shorten

1963
01:32:25.120 –> 01:32:29.580
the list. It needs to be top three. If there’s only six, hopefully there’s going to be more

1964
01:32:29.580 –> 01:32:34.500
Shorzy seasons to come. Then you’re just knocking off one. Yeah, that’s fine. We’ll get

1965
01:32:34.500 –> 01:32:40.340
there when we get there. Yes. Robbie. Um, I asked you if you, cause this is your first

1966
01:32:40.340 –> 01:32:43.940
time on the produce stand, but you’ve been listening to us from before, like when we were

1967
01:32:43.940 –> 01:32:48.100
reviewing letter Kenny, if you wanted to divulge your top five letter Kenny episodes,

1968
01:32:48.100 –> 01:32:53.280
you’re more than welcome to. Yeah. Um, I think I spent more time looking at that than, uh,

1969
01:32:53.280 –> 01:32:59.900
watching this actual episode because I had to, I had to go back and take a look. Um, mine

1970
01:32:59.900 –> 01:33:09.780
five is Dick slip out. Um, four is prostate. Oh, there we go. Uh, I just rewatched that

1971
01:33:09.780 –> 01:33:15.540
today and it’s even so good. And then I remember, um, three is relationships. Uh,

1972
01:33:15.540 –> 01:33:21.920
that one did great and has the classic, um, pulled open, uh, with the, uh, attendance

1973
01:33:21.920 –> 01:33:29.000
paid. Um, two is we don’t fight at weddings. I like the, the wrap up on that one. And

1974
01:33:29.000 –> 01:33:34.560
is the letter Kenny talent show. Oh, okay. That’s a good one. It is a good one.

1975
01:33:34.560 –> 01:33:38.800
Swirly van is my, my favorite character. Uh, and I’m kind of obsessed with standup

1976
01:33:38.800 –> 01:33:43.180
comedy and so, uh, it was, uh, it’s hard to not like that one the best.

1977
01:33:43.360 –> 01:33:48.120
He was my favorite character until I truly met Alex and then listened to that interview

1978
01:33:48.120 –> 01:33:55.540
and just what a genius standup comic. Yeah. Alexander. Yeah. So much fun. So good.

1979
01:33:55.540 –> 01:34:01.280
All right. And now we move on to what on, on, on the letter, Kenny side was called the MVP,

1980
01:34:01.660 –> 01:34:06.660
but on Schorzy side, for a reason that you won’t know until later, we’re going to call it the

1981
01:34:06.660 –> 01:34:12.100
game stick. Who are you giving the game stick to? So same as the MVP. So I’m just changing

1982
01:34:12.100 –> 01:34:16.100
the name to your turn to go first. I’m going to go first. And I changed the name for that,

1983
01:34:16.100 –> 01:34:21.240
but not for, uh, fresh compost and somebody gave to the idea. We’re open the idea,

1984
01:34:21.240 –> 01:34:25.400
but somebody gave, already gave me a great suggestion to change it to game stick on the

1985
01:34:25.400 –> 01:34:29.300
DM group. And I agreed. So that’s what we’re doing. Uh, shout out to, uh, whose idea was it?

1986
01:34:29.300 –> 01:34:34.080
Was it Jason? No, no, it was, uh, Jeff, Jeff, uh, he, somebody who doesn’t comment very much.

1987
01:34:34.080 –> 01:34:36.080
With all our production meetings, we didn’t get to that.

1988
01:34:36.920 –> 01:34:41.620
So thank you, Jeff, for your idea. We’re, we’re using your idea. Um, so my,

1989
01:34:41.660 –> 01:34:47.360
my game stick for this episode goes to Schorzy because Kiso is flexing muscle. He has

1990
01:34:47.360 –> 01:34:51.320
acting muscle. He hasn’t flexed. He’s not allowed to flex a letter. Kenny letter. Kenny,

1991
01:34:51.580 –> 01:34:57.140
he’s supposed to be stoic. He’s supposed to be squinty and, and, and he does well.

1992
01:34:58.180 –> 01:35:02.140
He does a well in this one here. Sure. I didn’t even know he could open his eyes.

1993
01:35:02.240 –> 01:35:08.540
There you go. He sure Schorzy showing all sorts of new emotional range and I’m loving it and

1994
01:35:08.540 –> 01:35:13.500
comedic range. Holy like funny. Like I was saying, I think in the after party last week,

1995
01:35:13.500 –> 01:35:18.660
it’s kind of unfair. Cause this guy, oh, he’s, he’s a brilliant hockey player. He, he’s, he’s,

1996
01:35:18.660 –> 01:35:23.720
he writes really good scripts. He’s a good actor. Oh, and he’s funny. What the fuck? Like

1997
01:35:23.720 –> 01:35:28.440
what, can he be bad at something, please? Like, come on. He’s a bad singer. You know,

1998
01:35:28.620 –> 01:35:32.780
who knows? Yeah, maybe he’s, well, he’s a good drummer too, by the way. Like so

1999
01:35:32.780 –> 01:35:37.420
drums are good. Drums are good. So it’s unfair. Like Kiso smart enough, like you

2000
01:35:37.420 –> 01:35:41.760
gotta be bad at something. Anyway, uh, I give it to Schorzy for this one, Victor, who

2001
01:35:41.760 –> 01:35:46.340
does your game stick go to? Yeah. Well, I mean, mine is easy as well and I have to

2002
01:35:46.340 –> 01:35:49.960
apologize to Matt cause I’m probably stealing his pick, but it’s going to go to sanguine.

2003
01:35:52.060 –> 01:35:56.100
Easily going to be my favorite character. I know we haven’t met the, uh, we have to

2004
01:35:56.100 –> 01:35:58.960
wait to meet the new characters, but I already know he’s going to be my favorite

2005
01:35:58.960 –> 01:36:03.880
character this, this season and probably beyond. I love them for all the reasons that

2006
01:36:03.880 –> 01:36:09.120
Matt has already been gushing over. Uh, he was just brilliant. Like he was the brilliant

2007
01:36:09.120 –> 01:36:17.120
sidekick to, uh, to, uh, to Schorzy. I loved every, I couldn’t wait, uh, you know, uh,

2008
01:36:17.120 –> 01:36:22.340
for him to be in the scene. So, uh, easy game stick for my man. All right. Uh, Tanya,

2009
01:36:22.420 –> 01:36:26.440
who do you give the game stick to in this episode? This one’s hard cause like I,

2010
01:36:26.440 –> 01:36:32.260
yeah, I totally did love Schorzy. I loved his character. It’s his show. Um, but I love

2011
01:36:32.260 –> 01:36:37.940
Nat. She, Sean, Sean for me and, uh, I loved her character. So I’ll give it to her

2012
01:36:37.940 –> 01:36:41.900
since you already did Schorzy. All right. Good. Three different, uh, game sticks, Matt,

2013
01:36:41.940 –> 01:36:45.680
who do you give it to? Yeah. So, I mean, it feels like the obvious should have been

2014
01:36:45.680 –> 01:36:49.760
Schorzy and I love it. You know, the funny thing is as I was watching it, I had a moment

2015
01:36:49.760 –> 01:36:54.020
where I, I actually laughed out loud after I realized how stupid it was. And I said,

2016
01:36:54.360 –> 01:36:58.680
good for queso, man. It’s great to see him showing his face now in his show.

2017
01:36:59.360 –> 01:37:05.960
Like I had this total dumb ass moment. Yeah, I don’t know. It was really ridiculous,

2018
01:37:05.960 –> 01:37:10.880
but it’s, but that shows how defined the two characters are. I didn’t even consider him

2019
01:37:10.880 –> 01:37:14.240
as Wayne for a moment. I’m like, he is Schorzy and now we’re seeing Schorzy.

2020
01:37:14.240 –> 01:37:18.320
You are a special person. Yeah, it was a good moment. But anyways,

2021
01:37:18.520 –> 01:37:24.100
no, it’s, it’s, it’s sanguine. Like I’m in love with this kid. He’s so good. Um,

2022
01:37:24.100 –> 01:37:26.880
I, I’m with you, Vic, the way you said, I couldn’t wait for him to be in another scene.

2023
01:37:27.000 –> 01:37:31.780
I’m like, I think he just brings so much to the table. I hope it continues, but, um,

2024
01:37:31.780 –> 01:37:37.040
where has he been? Welcome to the show, bud. Well done. Robbie, who do you give this game stick to?

2025
01:37:38.120 –> 01:37:45.340
Uh, I think you have to give it to Schorzy. Um, that’s, uh, he, uh, he’s, he’s in what?

2026
01:37:45.480 –> 01:37:53.220
Every, every episode. Uh, and, uh, yeah. So I think he’s, uh, he’s the easy choice.

2027
01:37:53.360 –> 01:37:59.340
All right. Great. So Schorzy two for Schorzy, two for Sanger and one for Nat. Excellent.

2028
01:37:59.340 –> 01:38:04.620
We’re going to move on now to just a update to our cold open brackets results. So far round two

2029
01:38:04.620 –> 01:38:11.360
began on Monday. Uh, and, uh, so far the, the first match around two, we had, uh, Stewart’s

2030
01:38:11.360 –> 01:38:20.680
horn annihilating Jay and Dan one 11 to one 20. Um, I’m not doing that. So Stewart’s horn

2031
01:38:20.680 –> 01:38:25.720
wins. You want me to do that? Oh, okay. Here we go.

2032
01:38:27.080 –> 01:38:33.560
I’m like, so yeah, so I’m, uh, for all the shorties, I’m like, Al, you have to take your

2033
01:38:33.560 –> 01:38:38.620
tooth out, man. For all the Schorzy episodes, we hit, you have to have your tooth out because

2034
01:38:38.620 –> 01:38:42.760
that just is fitting. Like for the whole thing removed one of his front teeth.

2035
01:38:42.840 –> 01:38:48.460
Yeah. I moved the exact, the exact Schorzy is missing. I saw, I’m like, oh my God,

2036
01:38:48.540 –> 01:38:53.600
you were really dedicated. I had it removed. I had it removed, especially just for this one.

2037
01:38:53.600 –> 01:38:59.360
That’s how dedicated I am. All right. So there you go. I’m, I guess I’m doing this every time

2038
01:38:59.360 –> 01:39:06.720
we record. So Stewart’s horn beats Jay and Dan one 11 to 20. And the one, the match

2039
01:39:06.720 –> 01:39:12.280
that’s currently running is the sock hop yarn versus Katie’s big tarts. And currently

2040
01:39:12.280 –> 01:39:20.340
and predictably, sorry, trace, uh, Katie’s big charts is winning big 99 34. So you think so?

2041
01:39:21.860 –> 01:39:27.860
No, no, of course. So there we, we got those two matches in, uh, next week we’ll have

2042
01:39:27.860 –> 01:39:32.680
plenty more to share about that. Uh, in the news, uh, I’ve already said our interview with

2043
01:39:32.680 –> 01:39:35.960
Darren Rose had to be postponed to next week, but we’re looking forward to having him on.

2044
01:39:36.200 –> 01:39:40.780
Also next week we’ll be on how are you now doing a table read of a fuss at the golf course.

2045
01:39:40.820 –> 01:39:45.920
So that’s going to be a lot of fun. Uh, we did our practice last week and, uh, it’s as

2046
01:39:45.920 –> 01:39:51.300
good as remember it. So, uh, can’t wait for that. Uh, we also have one, a new Apple review,

2047
01:39:51.740 –> 01:39:56.880
uh, five stars and it starts off best group of podcasters. Uh, you don’t even have to

2048
01:39:56.880 –> 01:40:00.000
love letter Kenny to fall in love with these guys. If you haven’t watched letter Kenny,

2049
01:40:00.140 –> 01:40:03.860
then watch it and follow along with their podcast episode by episode. And you’ll feel

2050
01:40:03.860 –> 01:40:08.320
like you’re hanging out with family or at least your best friends soon enough. Uh,

2051
01:40:08.380 –> 01:40:13.020
the way they include their listeners makes it even more fun. And that’s from potato five,

2052
01:40:13.020 –> 01:40:16.720
five E. I’m not sure who that is. Uh, if it’s somebody we know,

2053
01:40:17.000 –> 01:40:21.280
please let me know so I can add you to our, uh, draws for, for the end of the season.

2054
01:40:21.820 –> 01:40:25.900
All right. We’re going to play us off here with the song from this episode. It’s called

2055
01:40:25.900 –> 01:40:51.160
hex by arc patrol for a bit. And that’s all we have for this episode. Next week,

2056
01:40:51.240 –> 01:40:56.380
