to share.

Wait a sec.

7
00:00:15.360 –> 00:00:16.260
Has somebody been here?

8
00:00:16.800 –> 00:00:17.500
Tanya, you ready?

9
00:00:17.840 –> 00:00:18.160
Yes.

10
00:00:18.280 –> 00:00:19.460
Good cause you’re fucking going.

11
00:00:20.020 –> 00:00:20.460

Yes.

14
00:00:22.080 –> 00:00:22.220
Yes.

15
00:00:22.280 –> 00:00:23.440

Victor, you ready?

18
00:00:25.640 –> 00:00:26.720
It’s not a goldfish.

19
00:00:26.820 –> 00:00:27.660
Good cause you’re going.

20
00:00:27.660 –> 00:00:28.460
Yahoo.

21
00:00:29.120 –> 00:00:30.980
That fresh produce stand there.

22
00:00:31.280 –> 00:00:31.960
That’s a beauty.

23
00:00:32.520 –> 00:00:33.520
What do yous listen to?

24
00:00:33.780 –> 00:00:35.040
My favorite murder podcast.

25
00:00:35.460 –> 00:00:36.460
Taggart and Torrance podcast.

26
00:00:36.680 –> 00:00:37.460
The produce stand.

27
00:00:37.820 –> 00:00:38.900
Ah, fucking sexy.

28
00:00:41.620 –> 00:00:46.400
It’s Thirsty Thursday and that means we are once again hanging out at the Proto Stand,

29
00:00:46.760 –> 00:00:51.160
podcast paying tribute to the great Canadian show Letter Kenny and Shorzy.

30
00:00:56.390 –> 00:00:57.290
Now I know what you’re thinking.

31
00:00:57.330 –> 00:01:00.350
There are many other podcasts about Letter Kenny out there, but this one just got

32
00:01:00.350 –> 00:01:04.730
from summer vacation and if you’re listening to the recording, you don’t know this, but

33
00:01:04.730 –> 00:01:09.550
we’ve already gone through this once before, so this one’s also just repeated its intro

34
00:01:09.550 –> 00:01:10.590
for a second time.

35
00:01:10.870 –> 00:01:13.450
Joining us tonight are a bunch of D-Gen delinquents.

36
00:01:13.850 –> 00:01:16.310
They have zero regard for personal property.

37
00:01:16.650 –> 00:01:20.490
While we were away, they broke into the TPS studio and used my equipment to record

38
00:01:20.490 –> 00:01:21.370
their own episodes.

39
00:01:21.770 –> 00:01:22.290
Unbelievable.

40
00:01:22.810 –> 00:01:24.710
Well, now they’re here to answer for what they’ve done.

41
00:01:24.710 –> 00:01:31.170
Please join me in making some noise for Trace, Awesome, Aaron, and Casey, aka the TPS takeover

42
00:01:31.170 –> 00:01:31.670
team.

43
00:01:31.810 –> 00:01:32.290
Wondrous.

44
00:01:32.450 –> 00:01:33.510
Oh my god.

45
00:01:46.480 –> 00:01:48.840
The first time we did that went much smoother.

46
00:01:49.000 –> 00:01:49.660
How you guys doing?

47
00:01:50.420 –> 00:01:51.480
It did go much smoother.

48
00:01:52.380 –> 00:01:53.060
Oh man.

49
00:01:53.360 –> 00:01:54.060
What a…

50
00:01:54.060 –> 00:01:55.360
Anyway, back from vacation.

51
00:01:55.440 –> 00:01:57.340
Picture that way better than that’s how it sounded.

52
00:01:57.360 –> 00:01:58.500
That’s how it should have gone.

53
00:01:59.320 –> 00:02:01.180
Anyway, we’re going to get right into this here.

54
00:02:01.400 –> 00:02:01.940
How are you now?

55
00:02:02.500 –> 00:02:06.380
Tonight’s lineup is Victor, Matt, Tanya, Al, and our guest, Victor.

56
00:02:07.600 –> 00:02:08.340
How are you?

57
00:02:09.100 –> 00:02:09.699
Oh man.

58
00:02:09.740 –> 00:02:10.360
I don’t know.

59
00:02:10.460 –> 00:02:18.120
I’m kind of up and down as I sometimes am and a week ago I was definitely ill.

60
00:02:18.320 –> 00:02:19.720
I don’t know what it was.

61
00:02:19.740 –> 00:02:21.220
It could have been COVID for all I know.

62
00:02:21.240 –> 00:02:24.680
All I know is that I was fatigued like there’s no tomorrow.

63
00:02:25.060 –> 00:02:29.540
Everything was aching and three days of that mild cough and cold symptoms.

64
00:02:29.540 –> 00:02:31.940
The cough is still kind of lingering around.

65
00:02:32.100 –> 00:02:38.000
I don’t feel sick at all anymore and the fatigue is gone but I never felt anything

66
00:02:38.000 –> 00:02:40.760
like that and my wife had it as well.

67
00:02:41.200 –> 00:02:44.020
Didn’t you take a test to see if it were COVID or you just…

68
00:02:44.020 –> 00:02:45.620
I couldn’t even get out of bed.

69
00:02:45.860 –> 00:02:46.180
What test?

70
00:02:46.380 –> 00:02:47.040
Oh wow.

71
00:02:47.220 –> 00:02:48.760
You don’t stockpile rapid tests?

72
00:02:49.260 –> 00:02:49.460
Yeah.

73
00:02:49.660 –> 00:02:51.040
We’ve got a pile upstairs.

74
00:02:51.280 –> 00:02:54.020
Every time I go to the store they think I look sick.

75
00:02:54.240 –> 00:02:57.360
When you don’t wear makeup they’re just like, here have a kit.

76
00:02:57.680 –> 00:02:58.660
You should test yourself.

77
00:02:58.660 –> 00:03:00.920
Those aren’t that reliable anyway.

78
00:03:02.580 –> 00:03:05.220
But anyway, so lift the hell about it.

79
00:03:05.660 –> 00:03:07.380
I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my knee.

80
00:03:07.560 –> 00:03:09.040
I don’t know what the hell is going on.

81
00:03:09.220 –> 00:03:10.160
It’s not a running injury.

82
00:03:10.920 –> 00:03:12.280
I have no idea what’s going on.

83
00:03:12.280 –> 00:03:14.200
Have you stopped running or are you running?

84
00:03:14.680 –> 00:03:20.220
No, I haven’t run for like two weeks because I had that knee issue and then

85
00:03:20.220 –> 00:03:24.320
I got sick and then now I’m not sick anymore and the knee came back.

86
00:03:24.380 –> 00:03:28.120
And so it’s definitely not a running injury because this knee injury came back.

87
00:03:28.120 –> 00:03:29.780
So I don’t know what’s going on.

88
00:03:30.040 –> 00:03:33.300
Jeff on Livestream thinks you were just having TPS withdrawal.

89
00:03:33.600 –> 00:03:34.200
So maybe that’s it.

90
00:03:34.200 –> 00:03:34.700
That could be it.

91
00:03:34.900 –> 00:03:36.000
That could be it.

92
00:03:36.420 –> 00:03:38.080
So some good news though.

93
00:03:38.620 –> 00:03:42.380
There’s a train sim world 3 is coming out on September 6th.

94
00:03:42.400 –> 00:03:44.340
So I’m really excited about that.

95
00:03:44.560 –> 00:03:48.420
Wait, I need to play the breaking train news, the breaking news train

96
00:03:49.020 –> 00:03:51.560
simulator for Victor Soundbite if I had one.

97
00:03:51.560 –> 00:03:53.040
I need one for next time.

98
00:03:54.140 –> 00:03:54.380
Yeah.

99
00:03:54.520 –> 00:03:55.880
So that’s really exciting.

100
00:03:55.880 –> 00:04:00.440
And I also found out a couple of days ago that I’ll be going to Vegas in

101
00:04:00.440 –> 00:04:04.560
September for business, but you know, it’s Vegas, right?

102
00:04:05.240 –> 00:04:07.120
So that should be that should be all right.

103
00:04:07.500 –> 00:04:07.980
Nice.

104
00:04:08.300 –> 00:04:08.720
All right.

105
00:04:09.180 –> 00:04:09.700
That’s great.

106
00:04:09.980 –> 00:04:13.300
Is there any train museum in Vegas?

107
00:04:14.100 –> 00:04:14.560
You know what?

108
00:04:14.620 –> 00:04:15.640
It’s a good question.

109
00:04:15.980 –> 00:04:17.680
If there is one, I will find it.

110
00:04:17.860 –> 00:04:22.120
I love how your priorities are so clear within your tone because we talked about

111
00:04:22.120 –> 00:04:22.760
the simulator.

112
00:04:22.920 –> 00:04:24.200
You’re like, holy shit, guys.

113
00:04:24.280 –> 00:04:24.900
Guess what?

114
00:04:24.900 –> 00:04:26.600
Oh, I’m also going to Vegas.

115
00:04:27.720 –> 00:04:34.120
I am so going to get a train whistle and like blow it every time Victor says

116
00:04:34.120 –> 00:04:34.860
the word train.

117
00:04:35.260 –> 00:04:37.980
I think that will be a new good, good game.

118
00:04:38.120 –> 00:04:41.360
So you get what’s that?

119
00:04:41.600 –> 00:04:44.080
We’re going to say train and change is going to blow it.

120
00:04:44.320 –> 00:04:45.680
There you go.

121
00:04:45.900 –> 00:04:46.460
Matt.

122
00:04:48.060 –> 00:04:50.880
Insert rim shot sound effect here.

123
00:04:51.120 –> 00:04:51.440
Yes.

124
00:04:51.540 –> 00:04:51.680
Yes.

125
00:04:51.680 –> 00:04:53.240
You got all the details in there.

126
00:04:54.080 –> 00:04:54.700
Nailed it.

127
00:04:54.980 –> 00:04:56.460
Yeah, I’m I’m good.

128
00:04:56.660 –> 00:04:58.880
I was actually trying to think of what to talk about.

129
00:04:59.020 –> 00:05:03.080
I mean, there’s lots, but I couldn’t actually track back to when we last did

130
00:05:03.080 –> 00:05:04.980
this because I also missed the egg hall.

131
00:05:05.380 –> 00:05:06.600
So it feels like that’s right.

132
00:05:06.740 –> 00:05:08.000
It’s been even longer for you.

133
00:05:08.040 –> 00:05:08.540
Oh, wow.

134
00:05:08.600 –> 00:05:11.260
So I was like, actually, on a calendar, like, what are some of the things that

135
00:05:11.260 –> 00:05:12.280
have happened since then?

136
00:05:12.280 –> 00:05:13.160
I’m like, it’s a lot.

137
00:05:13.260 –> 00:05:17.020
And also nothing, because Al keeps talking about how we all took vacation, but we

138
00:05:17.020 –> 00:05:17.540
didn’t.

139
00:05:17.540 –> 00:05:20.540
No, like Victor and I still went on with our daily lives.

140
00:05:20.540 –> 00:05:22.360
Alan Tanya went on vacation.

141
00:05:22.600 –> 00:05:23.460
This whole thing shut down.

142
00:05:23.520 –> 00:05:23.700
Yeah.

143
00:05:23.880 –> 00:05:26.540
So we were still doing work and life and all that.

144
00:05:26.740 –> 00:05:28.480
Well, you could have continued to record.

145
00:05:28.640 –> 00:05:30.220
I mean, our listeners did.

146
00:05:30.400 –> 00:05:30.560
Yeah.

147
00:05:30.860 –> 00:05:31.020
Yeah.

148
00:05:31.020 –> 00:05:31.800
What’s wrong with you?

149
00:05:32.120 –> 00:05:33.780
We let them have their moment.

150
00:05:33.840 –> 00:05:34.440
We’re not selfish.

151
00:05:34.520 –> 00:05:36.360
Casey, you’re on mute.

152
00:05:36.740 –> 00:05:37.500
Casey, you’re on mute.

153
00:05:38.060 –> 00:05:40.100
Didn’t you crash them on the second episode?

154
00:05:40.960 –> 00:05:41.600
It was fun.

155
00:05:41.600 –> 00:05:42.820
We invited him.

156
00:05:43.460 –> 00:05:43.820
You didn’t crash.

157
00:05:47.220 –> 00:05:47.780
You both.

158
00:05:48.280 –> 00:05:48.800
Excuse me.

159
00:05:48.800 –> 00:05:50.360
You both were in the pajamas.

160
00:05:50.360 –> 00:05:52.800
I would hope that we would get invited if we had the ability.

161
00:05:52.800 –> 00:05:54.040
But you were in the planning group.

162
00:05:54.180 –> 00:05:57.920
We had a little side Twitter group to plan and you both were in it.

163
00:05:57.940 –> 00:05:59.980
Victor has no idea that that even exists.

164
00:06:00.220 –> 00:06:01.160
I don’t know what you’re talking about.

165
00:06:01.360 –> 00:06:01.820
He has no clue.

166
00:06:02.020 –> 00:06:03.000
He was in the whole group.

167
00:06:03.000 –> 00:06:04.840
Did you even do your homework for this week?

168
00:06:05.860 –> 00:06:07.820
It was not shared with you at all.

169
00:06:07.900 –> 00:06:08.280
I did.

170
00:06:08.620 –> 00:06:13.060
I did my homework only because it wasn’t homework.

171
00:06:13.340 –> 00:06:18.420
I just listened to the episodes because that’s what good people do.

172
00:06:19.560 –> 00:06:22.740
We all listened, but I had to remind you.

173
00:06:23.100 –> 00:06:27.580
When I said I just posted the two takeover episodes on the feed, Victor’s response was

174
00:06:27.580 –> 00:06:28.680
what feed?

175
00:06:29.760 –> 00:06:31.740
I think that was a fair question.

176
00:06:31.920 –> 00:06:34.440
I don’t know what you’re talking about.

177
00:06:35.860 –> 00:06:38.700
Feed that you’re on every week.

178
00:06:39.100 –> 00:06:39.520
Just that one.

179
00:06:39.520 –> 00:06:40.880
The produce stand feed.

180
00:06:41.100 –> 00:06:41.800
The only one that you’re on.

181
00:06:41.800 –> 00:06:42.940
Our channel basically.

182
00:06:43.060 –> 00:06:46.660
It’s what they call channels in podcast speak.

183
00:06:46.660 –> 00:06:49.000
But thanks for coming out there, Victor.

184
00:06:50.720 –> 00:06:52.960
I’m still getting acquainted with the whole technology.

185
00:06:53.260 –> 00:06:53.280
Right.

186
00:06:53.600 –> 00:06:57.500
By the way, Jeff on the live stream wants Victor to know there are no train museums

187
00:06:57.500 –> 00:07:00.520
in Vegas, but two in Boulder City, Nevada.

188
00:07:00.640 –> 00:07:01.240
So there you go.

189
00:07:01.240 –> 00:07:03.440
You’ll have to drive over to Boulder City.

190
00:07:04.100 –> 00:07:04.340
Okay.

191
00:07:04.500 –> 00:07:07.480
Well, I’ll see if they can find a model train store instead.

192
00:07:07.540 –> 00:07:08.300
There you go.

193
00:07:08.480 –> 00:07:09.980
Maybe you can go to the Pond Stars.

194
00:07:11.060 –> 00:07:12.820
Actually, I plan to do that.

195
00:07:14.380 –> 00:07:16.080
Send me pictures from that.

196
00:07:16.220 –> 00:07:17.460
That’s my dream to go to Vegas.

197
00:07:18.400 –> 00:07:19.420
Only if they let me.

198
00:07:19.740 –> 00:07:22.760
If I get there and there’s a lineup, I’ll say see you later.

199
00:07:23.260 –> 00:07:24.280
Pond or porn?

200
00:07:24.880 –> 00:07:25.040
Pond.

201
00:07:25.060 –> 00:07:25.740
Pond Stars.

202
00:07:26.180 –> 00:07:28.520
It’s a reality show about a Pond Star in Vegas.

203
00:07:29.020 –> 00:07:30.160
You don’t know what we’re talking about.

204
00:07:30.160 –> 00:07:31.280
It’s the greatest show ever.

205
00:07:33.180 –> 00:07:36.480
I like the mystery of Oak Island better.

206
00:07:37.860 –> 00:07:39.060
I’ve driven past Oak Island.

207
00:07:39.080 –> 00:07:39.960
You can’t get into it.

208
00:07:39.960 –> 00:07:40.780
It’s like a fortress.

209
00:07:41.340 –> 00:07:42.680
There you go.

210
00:07:43.120 –> 00:07:43.640
Matt, what else?

211
00:07:43.640 –> 00:07:44.400
So the rest of my week.

212
00:07:44.800 –> 00:07:44.900
Yeah.

213
00:07:45.080 –> 00:07:47.460
First off, to Jeff, what’s up, cousins?

214
00:07:47.960 –> 00:07:48.740
Oh, yes.

215
00:07:48.780 –> 00:07:49.700
Glad you’re listening.

216
00:07:50.240 –> 00:07:51.220
That was cool.

217
00:07:51.280 –> 00:07:52.000
That was really cool.

218
00:07:52.480 –> 00:07:57.040
If you didn’t listen to the takeover last week, Jeff and I discovered that we

219
00:07:57.040 –> 00:08:00.400
are ancient long last 12 times removed cousins.

220
00:08:01.100 –> 00:08:06.360
So that was kind of cool because genealogy is cool AF, apparently, and he’s into

221
00:08:06.360 –> 00:08:08.020
it and my dad is obsessed with it.

222
00:08:08.020 –> 00:08:09.340
So we put it together.

223
00:08:09.620 –> 00:08:10.340
Anyways, that was cool.

224
00:08:10.340 –> 00:08:11.880
This week’s been weird, though.

225
00:08:13.040 –> 00:08:15.100
So I mentioned that I was up really early.

226
00:08:15.960 –> 00:08:18.220
My son, my middle guy is nine.

227
00:08:19.140 –> 00:08:20.340
I think it’s gonna be fine.

228
00:08:20.640 –> 00:08:24.220
But for a couple of years now, we’ve been kind of having him checked out.

229
00:08:24.280 –> 00:08:26.340
He’s had this like weird tick that happened.

230
00:08:26.420 –> 00:08:27.880
But they evolve all the time.

231
00:08:28.040 –> 00:08:32.400
They’re like head shrugs, blinking, jaw movement.

232
00:08:32.440 –> 00:08:35.400
But they’re always when he’s like super focused on something like TV.

233
00:08:35.760 –> 00:08:36.740
The rest of the time he’s fine.

234
00:08:36.780 –> 00:08:37.679
But I mean, he’s super focused.

235
00:08:37.960 –> 00:08:39.100
You’ll see him kind of do this.

236
00:08:39.159 –> 00:08:40.220
So we’ve been trying to figure it out.

237
00:08:40.220 –> 00:08:46.960
So this week he underwent an extended EEG monitoring.

238
00:08:47.120 –> 00:08:51.620
So they hooked him up to an EEG and it was around the clock monitoring at Sick Kids Hospital

239
00:08:51.620 –> 00:08:56.760
here in Toronto, which is a fantastic facility in the city that just focuses on children.

240
00:08:57.240 –> 00:08:58.580
But so that was I mean, he was a champ.

241
00:08:58.580 –> 00:08:59.800
I was more nervous than he was.

242
00:08:59.840 –> 00:09:00.500
He just was excited.

243
00:09:00.560 –> 00:09:04.180
He got to play video games for 24 hours straight and no one told him to stop.

244
00:09:04.180 –> 00:09:04.860
So that was cool.

245
00:09:05.860 –> 00:09:07.720
But my ex and I had to balance it out.

246
00:09:07.720 –> 00:09:13.120
So she did the day shift while I worked and then I went tagged in after dinner and spent

247
00:09:13.120 –> 00:09:17.780
the night shift and they, you know, they give you a cot to sleep on, but it was like sleeping

248
00:09:17.780 –> 00:09:18.420
on a board.

249
00:09:19.080 –> 00:09:21.160
And yeah, but it was it was a long couple days.

250
00:09:21.180 –> 00:09:22.820
It could have taken up to three days.

251
00:09:23.160 –> 00:09:26.160
They didn’t really give us a timeline, but thank God it was only one day and they’re

252
00:09:26.160 –> 00:09:29.460
like, no, we’ve got enough for what we need and we’ll come back to you.

253
00:09:29.560 –> 00:09:32.100
They didn’t nothing really shocked them, which was good.

254
00:09:32.100 –> 00:09:36.360
But they kind of said that he seems to be at higher risk of seizures.

255
00:09:36.780 –> 00:09:39.860
Not that he’s had any, but I don’t know.

256
00:09:40.080 –> 00:09:41.820
So there could be more to come in the future.

257
00:09:41.880 –> 00:09:44.400
This is something I know personally I’ve dealt with in my I don’t know if I’ve ever

258
00:09:44.400 –> 00:09:48.380
talked about the show, but I have a history of epilepsy in my own life.

259
00:09:49.320 –> 00:09:51.920
When I was a teenager, it was something that I dealt with.

260
00:09:52.300 –> 00:09:54.700
It hasn’t poked its head up in years.

261
00:09:55.420 –> 00:09:58.720
But so I obviously have that concern and it triggers a bit for me when I’m like,

262
00:09:58.780 –> 00:10:00.260
OK, I hope he doesn’t have to go through this.

263
00:10:00.300 –> 00:10:01.660
So I’m monitoring it closely.

264
00:10:02.300 –> 00:10:04.500
But yeah, he was a champ and it was fine.

265
00:10:04.500 –> 00:10:06.880
He didn’t give a shit and just wanted to play video games.

266
00:10:07.240 –> 00:10:08.460
So there is that.

267
00:10:08.660 –> 00:10:13.080
And then on the positive note, my family is coming to visit this week.

268
00:10:13.120 –> 00:10:13.760
So that’s exciting.

269
00:10:13.900 –> 00:10:17.740
So my parents, who I haven’t seen in like well over a year, I think at this point,

270
00:10:18.100 –> 00:10:21.280
they have had to cancel a trip a couple of times, always due to covid issues.

271
00:10:21.280 –> 00:10:21.660
Right.

272
00:10:22.040 –> 00:10:26.080
So hopefully they actually make it here and we got a whole little family week

273
00:10:26.080 –> 00:10:29.200
set up and yeah, pretty excited about that.

274
00:10:29.280 –> 00:10:31.060
So that’s going to be fun. Awesome. Nice.

275
00:10:31.220 –> 00:10:33.020
All right. Before we move on to Tanya,

276
00:10:33.020 –> 00:10:35.840
I’m going to ask the people on live stream first one to type in,

277
00:10:35.980 –> 00:10:39.460
which diabolical coffee do you want to hear, Victor, Matt or Tanya?

278
00:10:39.520 –> 00:10:43.660
Let me know. First one to say which one is the one I play.

279
00:10:44.180 –> 00:10:45.640
Tony, Jeff, say.

280
00:10:47.000 –> 00:10:52.240
You learn that there’s like a hard 30 second lag.

281
00:10:52.640 –> 00:10:55.060
Jeff, OK, Jeff and the live stream.

282
00:10:55.320 –> 00:10:58.240
Jeff has put Jeff was first, as you predicted.

283
00:10:58.620 –> 00:11:00.680
And so he put his vote in anyway.

284
00:11:00.680 –> 00:11:02.640
I will reveal who won.

285
00:11:02.640 –> 00:11:05.900
He’s got that high speed internet. Informal poll 10.

286
00:11:06.720 –> 00:11:08.720
How’s fingers? How have you been?

287
00:11:09.300 –> 00:11:12.000
Oh, you know, that’s what everyone actually wants to hear about.

288
00:11:12.160 –> 00:11:13.440
Is that you guys? Right.

289
00:11:14.140 –> 00:11:17.280
We went on a little trip to Newfoundland.

290
00:11:17.340 –> 00:11:22.220
And oh, my gosh, the people in Newfoundland are absolutely amazing.

291
00:11:22.800 –> 00:11:27.580
We actually laughed quite a few times because without even

292
00:11:27.580 –> 00:11:31.240
like pointing that or indicating that we were going to cross the street,

293
00:11:31.280 –> 00:11:34.740
people would just stop and let you cross the street randomly.

294
00:11:35.520 –> 00:11:38.580
Newfoundlanders are so and we have a crosswalk and a library

295
00:11:38.580 –> 00:11:39.640
up the street from us.

296
00:11:39.940 –> 00:11:43.580
And like you will have the blinkers going and they’ll wave at you

297
00:11:43.580 –> 00:11:45.680
as they’re like going over top of you.

298
00:11:45.760 –> 00:11:48.340
Like there is no stopping here.

299
00:11:48.700 –> 00:11:51.320
So we found that quite comical.

300
00:11:51.760 –> 00:11:53.940
Food was incredible.

301
00:11:54.780 –> 00:11:58.100
And it was just it was so much fun.

302
00:11:58.380 –> 00:12:01.140
So many wonderful things that we did and saw.

303
00:12:02.180 –> 00:12:05.480
There was a bit of a bad part,

304
00:12:06.010 –> 00:12:10.180
which I’m sure some people have are already aware of.

305
00:12:11.200 –> 00:12:14.600
The RV rental didn’t go according to plan.

306
00:12:14.640 –> 00:12:16.040
It was a fucking disaster.

307
00:12:16.340 –> 00:12:17.140
Rolling turd.

308
00:12:17.580 –> 00:12:23.060
I really want to say therapy saved me on this trip because

309
00:12:25.440 –> 00:12:31.680
the the the CBT cognitive behavior therapy really had to kick into high gear.

310
00:12:32.980 –> 00:12:39.820
And I credit all of my techniques that I have to keep myself

311
00:12:39.820 –> 00:12:44.120
kind of calm and sane during it all, because, wow,

312
00:12:44.180 –> 00:12:46.440
was there ever some curve balls thrown at us?

313
00:12:47.960 –> 00:12:52.720
And through all of it, I had some some challenges,

314
00:12:52.720 –> 00:12:56.800
but I never it didn’t get to me

315
00:12:56.800 –> 00:12:59.900
the way that it absolutely would have before.

316
00:13:00.480 –> 00:13:02.020
So it would have ruined your vacation.

317
00:13:02.300 –> 00:13:04.680
Oh, my God, it really would have ruined the vacation.

318
00:13:05.800 –> 00:13:09.200
It helps when you’ve got an eight year old kind of looking at you

319
00:13:09.800 –> 00:13:13.060
like the like this is gone to hell.

320
00:13:13.440 –> 00:13:17.940
And and and she’s getting like she was getting really upset

321
00:13:19.120 –> 00:13:24.980
to keep myself, you know, in control because they’re watching the focus

322
00:13:24.980 –> 00:13:26.320
on the good stuff, right?

323
00:13:26.360 –> 00:13:28.480
Because the kids were starting to get negative negative

324
00:13:28.480 –> 00:13:30.080
because they were reading our vibes.

325
00:13:30.120 –> 00:13:32.700
And I mean, it was kind of hard not to.

326
00:13:32.720 –> 00:13:36.280
It was hard to avoid when every every time we oh, OK, you know,

327
00:13:36.280 –> 00:13:38.240
we get over one thing and then something else goes wrong.

328
00:13:38.540 –> 00:13:40.820
So the RV we received was a dud.

329
00:13:41.100 –> 00:13:44.540
It had like so many, so many, so many things wrong with it.

330
00:13:44.540 –> 00:13:47.720
But in the end, we still took it because we had no other choice.

331
00:13:48.320 –> 00:13:50.420
Well, and they showed up and gave us the keys.

332
00:13:50.980 –> 00:13:53.860
Yeah. Well, that Newfoundland, Newfoundland was packed.

333
00:13:54.140 –> 00:13:58.520
Every tour guide, we every tour we went on, every guide said the same.

334
00:13:58.680 –> 00:14:01.980
Every restaurant to even this place has a reservation.

335
00:14:02.040 –> 00:14:04.860
And it was like, no, we just come in for dinner.

336
00:14:04.920 –> 00:14:06.040
And they’re like, no.

337
00:14:06.220 –> 00:14:09.120
You guys also showed up like post-Covid with travel.

338
00:14:09.240 –> 00:14:11.320
So and during the George, that’s that’s what it is.

339
00:14:11.400 –> 00:14:12.720
Well, so many people.

340
00:14:12.920 –> 00:14:15.120
Yeah. George Street Festival. That was one thing.

341
00:14:15.200 –> 00:14:16.580
But but the tour guides even said

342
00:14:16.580 –> 00:14:20.220
this is the busiest I’ve ever seen this spot, like every place they took us to.

343
00:14:20.260 –> 00:14:22.380
Wow. I’ve never seen this parking lot this full.

344
00:14:22.960 –> 00:14:23.720
George Street or not.

345
00:14:24.560 –> 00:14:26.680
But you hit the nail on the head there, Matt.

346
00:14:26.840 –> 00:14:28.320
I think it was

347
00:14:28.320 –> 00:14:30.920
Covid’s kind of, you know, winding down.

348
00:14:31.000 –> 00:14:35.760
People are starting to travel again, but still not wanting to leave the country.

349
00:14:35.760 –> 00:14:39.300
So they’re finding places in Canada to travel to.

350
00:14:40.020 –> 00:14:43.380
And we discovered in the last 10 or in the last two weeks,

351
00:14:43.400 –> 00:14:46.140
there’s no better place in Canada to travel to the Newfoundland.

352
00:14:46.140 –> 00:14:49.920
It’s a gorgeous place like two places in Canada.

353
00:14:50.040 –> 00:14:52.600
I’ve been to now where every picture you take is a postcard.

354
00:14:52.640 –> 00:14:56.880
One is B.C. with where the Rocky Mountains are behind you in every picture.

355
00:14:57.040 –> 00:14:58.240
And the other is Newfoundland.

356
00:14:58.420 –> 00:15:00.880
It’s just you can’t take a bad picture in Newfoundland.

357
00:15:01.480 –> 00:15:03.540
And the photos don’t do it any justice.

358
00:15:03.580 –> 00:15:08.460
Like it is like to smell that air to to feel the wind on your face

359
00:15:09.080 –> 00:15:12.020
just to be out in the open and just.

360
00:15:12.020 –> 00:15:17.760
Now, mind you, we were also blessed or maybe cursed with unusually good weather

361
00:15:18.420 –> 00:15:21.360
because it only rained really like once or twice.

362
00:15:21.360 –> 00:15:23.460
Like it really didn’t do.

363
00:15:23.740 –> 00:15:24.840
And it was hotter than hell.

364
00:15:24.880 –> 00:15:28.380
That was the only complaint I had other than the RV

365
00:15:29.180 –> 00:15:31.820
was that, oh, my gosh, it was so hot.

366
00:15:32.220 –> 00:15:35.320
And they were everybody complained about the heat.

367
00:15:35.600 –> 00:15:38.820
It was probably unusual for them to have that kind of heat as well.

368
00:15:39.260 –> 00:15:41.780
They were having like forest fires and stuff.

369
00:15:41.780 –> 00:15:43.060
Like it was that bad.

370
00:15:43.740 –> 00:15:45.680
So we had a great time.

371
00:15:45.740 –> 00:15:46.680
The people were amazing.

372
00:15:47.120 –> 00:15:50.300
And I’m sorry, did you did you have anything else before I move on to

373
00:15:50.300 –> 00:15:53.000
to your to your fun, fun?

374
00:15:53.240 –> 00:15:57.980
Yeah, no, it was just yeah, we we we made it work.

375
00:15:58.080 –> 00:16:01.700
And the most devastating part was when we found out

376
00:16:01.700 –> 00:16:04.440
that we weren’t getting the RV back halfway through the trip.

377
00:16:05.320 –> 00:16:08.800
And that was a bit of a hard blow.

378
00:16:09.580 –> 00:16:12.760
But, you know, we were just one of those.

379
00:16:13.200 –> 00:16:16.620
And we traveled with a phenomenal couple as well.

380
00:16:17.720 –> 00:16:21.120
And it was just like, OK, deal with it and then shake it off.

381
00:16:21.200 –> 00:16:22.380
And what’s the new plan?

382
00:16:22.620 –> 00:16:28.100
And we got to find a solution and we just jumped to it

383
00:16:28.100 –> 00:16:33.160
and found the new best way to to finish off the trip.

384
00:16:33.200 –> 00:16:36.700
So it was it was a good and we got screeched in when we

385
00:16:36.700 –> 00:16:40.620
we were able to to do other fun things and make make a great.

386
00:16:40.620 –> 00:16:42.340
Were you so good to that cod?

387
00:16:43.260 –> 00:16:43.920
Oh, man.

388
00:16:44.640 –> 00:16:46.660
Oh, man. I’m going to show the video.

389
00:16:47.100 –> 00:16:47.640
I screamed.

390
00:16:48.180 –> 00:16:49.460
And you did not want to kiss.

391
00:16:49.960 –> 00:16:50.760
I was throwing up.

392
00:16:50.860 –> 00:16:53.080
She had her mask on and she still didn’t want to kiss.

393
00:16:53.080 –> 00:16:55.240
I didn’t know it’s smelt.

394
00:16:55.340 –> 00:16:56.640
It smelt like it was days.

395
00:16:56.940 –> 00:16:57.680
No, it’s not smell.

396
00:16:58.020 –> 00:16:59.260
No, it’s smell.

397
00:16:59.840 –> 00:17:01.400
It was gross.

398
00:17:01.820 –> 00:17:03.720
No, I was wanting to throw up.

399
00:17:03.820 –> 00:17:04.760
No, it really was.

400
00:17:04.940 –> 00:17:06.460
I would drink screech.

401
00:17:06.460 –> 00:17:08.140
I was actually screech was good.

402
00:17:08.200 –> 00:17:09.500
The screech was delicious.

403
00:17:09.760 –> 00:17:11.480
I was trying to get some to bring back.

404
00:17:11.880 –> 00:17:15.460
But the cod and that and I was just like, I’m like, no,

405
00:17:15.480 –> 00:17:17.079
it’s not going to stay in.

406
00:17:17.260 –> 00:17:21.020
So for those for those who know will know those who don’t,

407
00:17:21.020 –> 00:17:22.900
there’s only a few places in St.

408
00:17:23.280 –> 00:17:25.180
John’s where you can get screeched in.

409
00:17:25.660 –> 00:17:29.840
We went to a place called Trapper John’s and they make a big deal.

410
00:17:29.860 –> 00:17:34.120
Well, I think any phenomenal any screeching in ceremony is a big deal.

411
00:17:34.220 –> 00:17:34.940
But Trapper John.

412
00:17:34.940 –> 00:17:39.200
Oh, we should probably say what screeching is screeched in is is

413
00:17:39.200 –> 00:17:44.500
Newfie’s turned Newfoundland’s tradition to making you an honorary

414
00:17:45.040 –> 00:17:45.520
Newfoundlander.

415
00:17:46.360 –> 00:17:48.140
So you have a few.

416
00:17:48.800 –> 00:17:51.520
It’s kind of like, oh, my gosh.

417
00:17:51.740 –> 00:17:56.540
When you the ceremony, it’s like like swearing in to become

418
00:17:56.540 –> 00:17:58.280
an honorary Newfoundlander. Yeah.

419
00:17:58.280 –> 00:17:59.900
Yeah. And they do these funny little things.

420
00:17:59.920 –> 00:18:01.460
And one of them is you kiss a cod.

421
00:18:01.520 –> 00:18:04.000
One of them is you drink, take a drink.

422
00:18:04.000 –> 00:18:06.060
Yeah. They teach how to speak like a Newfie.

423
00:18:06.420 –> 00:18:11.800
They they you have to drink screech, which we learn screech is is just bad.

424
00:18:11.800 –> 00:18:12.520
Jamaican rum.

425
00:18:13.040 –> 00:18:18.220
There’s a long, long 100 years of history between Newfoundland

426
00:18:18.220 –> 00:18:23.200
and Jamaica, where Jamaica would send them the bottom of their rum barrels

427
00:18:23.200 –> 00:18:26.760
and new fees would send them the worst of their catch.

428
00:18:27.280 –> 00:18:30.220
So that Jamaican rum is actually screech.

429
00:18:30.220 –> 00:18:33.440
So it’s so think of like good Jamaican rum, which is spicy,

430
00:18:33.440 –> 00:18:35.680
sweet, like really like tasty,

431
00:18:36.500 –> 00:18:39.060
but a little spicier and a little stronger.

432
00:18:39.060 –> 00:18:40.400
And that’s screech.

433
00:18:40.860 –> 00:18:44.780
And my our buddy, Rob, who came with us and he’s from there,

434
00:18:45.040 –> 00:18:47.780
he actually was perplexed when we said we actually quite liked it

435
00:18:47.780 –> 00:18:49.300
because he’s like screech is horrible.

436
00:18:49.500 –> 00:18:50.780
But that’s the stuff we had.

437
00:18:51.120 –> 00:18:52.540
Stuff we had was actually pretty good.

438
00:18:52.620 –> 00:18:54.920
And Newfoundland steak screech.

439
00:18:54.940 –> 00:18:57.300
What’s that? You got boutiques.

440
00:18:57.540 –> 00:18:59.980
Maybe maybe they they keep the good stuff for the tourists.

441
00:19:00.200 –> 00:19:01.880
But we enjoy. That’s what they do.

442
00:19:01.880 –> 00:19:03.740
Yeah. So yeah.

443
00:19:03.800 –> 00:19:09.500
And we had Newfoundland steak, which is bologna, fried bologna, fried bologna.

444
00:19:09.580 –> 00:19:11.160
Oh, that was a staple in my house.

445
00:19:11.340 –> 00:19:14.340
Yeah. Yeah. It was it was so much fun.

446
00:19:14.420 –> 00:19:16.120
So much fun. Yeah. Go ahead.

447
00:19:16.320 –> 00:19:18.260
And Alan had a highlight.

448
00:19:18.700 –> 00:19:23.660
And may I say during his highlight, I swear I looked over.

449
00:19:23.860 –> 00:19:25.560
I knew exactly what was happening.

450
00:19:26.140 –> 00:19:29.000
And you had a big, huge smile on your face.

451
00:19:29.000 –> 00:19:31.220
And then minutes later, you were gone.

452
00:19:31.220 –> 00:19:35.220
Go. So we’re in St.

453
00:19:35.380 –> 00:19:38.020
John’s, which is a gorgeous, amazing city.

454
00:19:38.100 –> 00:19:40.280
I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did.

455
00:19:41.000 –> 00:19:44.420
But we were also there during something called the George Street Festival,

456
00:19:44.860 –> 00:19:48.040
which is a music festival that they where they shut down George Street,

457
00:19:48.100 –> 00:19:50.680
which is a street that’s just bar upon bar upon bar.

458
00:19:51.200 –> 00:19:53.840
They put up a big stage and there’s a couple of thousand people

459
00:19:53.840 –> 00:19:55.520
and they’ve got big bands playing there.

460
00:19:56.120 –> 00:19:58.960
So the night the second night we were there.

461
00:19:59.340 –> 00:20:01.280
Oh, we were talking about going,

462
00:20:01.320 –> 00:20:04.780
but then we found out it was going to cost $50 each just to get on the street.

463
00:20:04.780 –> 00:20:06.180
So you have to pay to get on the street.

464
00:20:06.300 –> 00:20:09.620
And then you can walk up and down, you know, go into a bar,

465
00:20:09.700 –> 00:20:13.200
grab a drink and just walk up and down the street and listen to the music.

466
00:20:13.780 –> 00:20:17.120
But it was 50 bucks and there’s eight of us with kids like we weren’t going to.

467
00:20:17.420 –> 00:20:18.580
And the kids weren’t going to go in.

468
00:20:19.560 –> 00:20:21.700
So I was like, all right, we’re not doing it.

469
00:20:21.700 –> 00:20:24.760
We can hear the music from the adjacent street a block over.

470
00:20:25.020 –> 00:20:26.160
So that was good enough for us.

471
00:20:26.160 –> 00:20:28.160
But I’d heard Sam Roberts was playing,

472
00:20:28.160 –> 00:20:32.420
which he’s one of my favorite bands, followed by the tea party.

473
00:20:33.000 –> 00:20:35.620
Not so much one of my favorites, but also a pretty good

474
00:20:35.620 –> 00:20:37.060
impressive lineup for that night.

475
00:20:38.140 –> 00:20:40.520
And but we’re just walking up and down Water Street,

476
00:20:40.580 –> 00:20:44.660
which is a pedestrian only street with lots of restaurants and and stuff.

477
00:20:44.780 –> 00:20:48.100
And then I get a text or a DM from our buddy

478
00:20:48.100 –> 00:20:52.840
Adrian from the DM group who shared a link with me to say, hey,

479
00:20:52.840 –> 00:20:56.020
Al, while you’re there, you should look up Hitch Hitchcock.

480
00:20:56.100 –> 00:20:57.220
I’m like, what’s he talking about?

481
00:20:57.220 –> 00:21:02.340
So I click on the link and it’s Terry Ryan’s Instagram.

482
00:21:02.700 –> 00:21:06.700
And it’s a video of him at the Sam Roberts show

483
00:21:07.900 –> 00:21:09.140
having a good time.

484
00:21:09.400 –> 00:21:11.540
And I’m like, son of a bitch, he’s right there.

485
00:21:11.700 –> 00:21:14.480
I could like and he’s wearing the straw cowboy hat.

486
00:21:14.520 –> 00:21:16.220
So it’s like I would be able to find him.

487
00:21:16.220 –> 00:21:20.260
No problem. He’d stick out like a sore thumb in in in that crowd.

488
00:21:20.820 –> 00:21:21.980
But again, it’s 50 bucks.

489
00:21:22.020 –> 00:21:24.140
And I’m like, and we’re with a family and kids and like.

490
00:21:24.480 –> 00:21:27.040
But then somebody walked by me and they were trying to sell me

491
00:21:27.040 –> 00:21:30.800
their ticket cheaper because like somebody they came with wasn’t didn’t show up.

492
00:21:30.840 –> 00:21:33.660
It’s like, you know, you can have this for 30 dollars.

493
00:21:33.660 –> 00:21:35.580
I’m like, really? So.

494
00:21:36.380 –> 00:21:39.040
So I look over at Tanya and she’s already shaking her head

495
00:21:39.040 –> 00:21:40.340
because she knows what’s going to happen.

496
00:21:40.680 –> 00:21:41.440
I buy the ticket.

497
00:21:43.360 –> 00:21:46.540
I buy the ticket and I and I beg off from the group.

498
00:21:46.700 –> 00:21:47.800
I said, I’ll see you guys later.

499
00:21:48.100 –> 00:21:50.340
You kissed my forehead and got

500
00:21:50.340 –> 00:21:56.680
bag off. I said, what I’m gathering is Terry Ryan is on your laminated list.

501
00:21:56.680 –> 00:22:01.700
No, I just look when you’re that close to to one of the letter K.

502
00:22:02.760 –> 00:22:05.300
Awesome. If you heard Jared Kiesel was on the next street over,

503
00:22:05.540 –> 00:22:07.580
what lengths would you go to?

504
00:22:07.940 –> 00:22:09.000
I mean, right.

505
00:22:10.060 –> 00:22:12.400
And you’re on the 50 bucks now.

506
00:22:13.380 –> 00:22:14.960
Yeah, she would have paid the 50 bucks.

507
00:22:15.140 –> 00:22:18.040
I wasn’t going to go 50, but for 30, why not?

508
00:22:18.740 –> 00:22:21.000
So that, Terry, he wasn’t going to go 50.

509
00:22:23.220 –> 00:22:25.060
And that was crystal clear on that.

510
00:22:25.100 –> 00:22:29.200
Not about meeting Terry, but about leaving the family on vacation

511
00:22:29.200 –> 00:22:30.460
to go do this thing.

512
00:22:30.740 –> 00:22:32.720
So it was like, I can’t do that.

513
00:22:32.740 –> 00:22:36.580
But for 30, I kind of can. So

514
00:22:36.580 –> 00:22:39.000
as families were 20 bucks, I said to Tanya, I said,

515
00:22:39.100 –> 00:22:40.440
why don’t you take the kids for ice cream?

516
00:22:40.480 –> 00:22:43.200
I’ll be an hour and then I’ll come and find you guys.

517
00:22:43.380 –> 00:22:47.680
And I went in and I enjoyed the shit out of the Sam Roberts concert.

518
00:22:47.820 –> 00:22:49.460
Fucking great. He sounds great.

519
00:22:49.460 –> 00:22:50.600
One of my favorite artists.

520
00:22:51.600 –> 00:22:52.680
And I’m and I’m staring.

521
00:22:52.900 –> 00:22:55.980
I’m standing there and I see Terry and he’s he’s in a section

522
00:22:55.980 –> 00:22:58.160
that I can’t get to. He’s in a VIP section.

523
00:22:58.360 –> 00:22:59.520
But he’s right there like that.

524
00:22:59.820 –> 00:23:01.100
And I said this in the group.

525
00:23:01.220 –> 00:23:02.880
I could have touched him, but that would have been creepy.

526
00:23:03.220 –> 00:23:06.460
I told you to flash him just like give a little shirt.

527
00:23:07.440 –> 00:23:11.500
No, your kids out for totally would have done it.

528
00:23:11.740 –> 00:23:14.600
Terry was not interested in guys in the crowd.

529
00:23:14.600 –> 00:23:17.660
He was watching the band and he was having a really great time.

530
00:23:17.660 –> 00:23:21.340
He was a little liquored up as as you would be.

531
00:23:21.780 –> 00:23:23.640
So he was up there and I saw him.

532
00:23:23.740 –> 00:23:28.160
I even took a little stealth video of him to show that how close we were.

533
00:23:28.360 –> 00:23:29.240
But that was it.

534
00:23:29.420 –> 00:23:30.860
And then he disappeared

535
00:23:32.240 –> 00:23:35.280
because I think, well, I don’t think he told he told me later.

536
00:23:35.300 –> 00:23:36.520
He and Sam Roberts are buddies.

537
00:23:36.860 –> 00:23:38.960
So just as his show was winding down,

538
00:23:39.220 –> 00:23:41.820
Terry Ryan disappeared backstage and never came back out.

539
00:23:41.920 –> 00:23:45.100
So like, oh, well, I guess that was my shot.

540
00:23:45.100 –> 00:23:48.220
And, you know, I tried and couldn’t get to him.

541
00:23:48.240 –> 00:23:48.720
So no problem.

542
00:23:48.800 –> 00:23:53.120
So I left and I rejoined the group who were having ice cream and whatever.

543
00:23:54.600 –> 00:23:56.540
But then it was getting late

544
00:23:56.540 –> 00:23:59.980
and everyone like the family was about to head back to the hotel.

545
00:24:00.820 –> 00:24:04.620
Rob and I, the other the other father who we were with,

546
00:24:04.880 –> 00:24:08.180
he was like, oh, we need to find out a place to go get screeched in.

547
00:24:08.580 –> 00:24:13.520
And so he and I decided to go have some drinks and see some of the bars.

548
00:24:13.520 –> 00:24:15.280
It was like almost midnight at the time.

549
00:24:15.280 –> 00:24:18.140
We didn’t know whether they would do it that late, but we went to go try.

550
00:24:18.820 –> 00:24:20.740
At this point, the street party was over,

551
00:24:20.740 –> 00:24:23.540
so we were able to kind of access the street.

552
00:24:24.420 –> 00:24:28.060
And we go, we sat at a patio, had a beer

553
00:24:28.060 –> 00:24:30.480
and found out that we weren’t going to be able to get screeched in that night.

554
00:24:30.480 –> 00:24:31.300
So we just had a beer.

555
00:24:31.540 –> 00:24:35.160
And then I see the straw cowboy hat walking down the street

556
00:24:35.160 –> 00:24:37.940
to a hot dog cart and stopping at the hot dog cart.

557
00:24:38.080 –> 00:24:39.460
So like there he is.

558
00:24:39.580 –> 00:24:42.260
So I went to go try to get back into the street.

559
00:24:42.260 –> 00:24:45.160
But at this point, it already ripped off my wristband.

560
00:24:45.500 –> 00:24:48.380
And the security lady is like, I can’t let you in just yet.

561
00:24:48.960 –> 00:24:52.040
Like, oh, but I just is like, yeah, but I can’t let you in.

562
00:24:52.140 –> 00:24:54.980
You don’t have the, you know, you we were at a bar

563
00:24:54.980 –> 00:24:57.960
that wasn’t participating with the street festival, so they wouldn’t let me in.

564
00:24:58.320 –> 00:25:00.900
And I begged her and I said, look, right over there, that’s Terry Ryan.

565
00:25:01.020 –> 00:25:02.020
I just want to go say hi.

566
00:25:02.020 –> 00:25:04.040
You can see me going up to him and then leaving.

567
00:25:04.480 –> 00:25:06.040
And finally, she said fine.

568
00:25:06.080 –> 00:25:08.260
So I so I went up to him at the hot dog cart.

569
00:25:08.660 –> 00:25:11.060
I say, hey, Terry, I love you in in Shorsey.

570
00:25:11.060 –> 00:25:15.680
He turns around, removes his tooth, like doesn’t say anything.

571
00:25:15.800 –> 00:25:17.620
First thing he does is he removes his tooth

572
00:25:17.620 –> 00:25:19.860
because he heard me say Shorsey, I guess.

573
00:25:20.220 –> 00:25:23.040
So at this point, I’m like, OK, this is either he’s going to

574
00:25:23.040 –> 00:25:26.120
he wants to fight or, you know, he’s this is what he does

575
00:25:26.120 –> 00:25:27.860
whenever whenever somebody brings up Shorsey.

576
00:25:28.000 –> 00:25:30.680
So I remove my tooth to show him that I’m a friend.

577
00:25:31.580 –> 00:25:33.100
We both have a laugh over it.

578
00:25:33.100 –> 00:25:33.820
We have a chat.

579
00:25:34.260 –> 00:25:36.260
And you had your your produce stands.

580
00:25:36.360 –> 00:25:37.460
Yeah, I have my T-shirt on.

581
00:25:37.520 –> 00:25:40.460
I said, I’m I’m I’m a fan, but I loved you in Shorsey.

582
00:25:40.460 –> 00:25:43.940
By the way, I have a podcast and I don’t know whether he.

583
00:25:44.080 –> 00:25:48.080
See, Matt, that’s how you tell somebody that you have a podcast.

584
00:25:48.760 –> 00:25:49.100
I don’t know.

585
00:25:49.360 –> 00:25:51.360
Yeah, I don’t know.

586
00:25:51.400 –> 00:25:53.700
Ryan was not working at the pro at the Starbucks.

587
00:25:54.820 –> 00:25:57.660
He was drunk out of his mind at a hot dog cart.

588
00:25:57.780 –> 00:25:58.600
What’s the difference?

589
00:25:58.880 –> 00:26:00.620
Anyway, I don’t know if he knows.

590
00:26:00.880 –> 00:26:03.640
I don’t know if he knows what the produce stand is or not,

591
00:26:03.640 –> 00:26:06.520
like when he saw my shirt or whether it even registered that,

592
00:26:06.740 –> 00:26:08.160
OK, I’m wearing a produce and T-shirt.

593
00:26:08.160 –> 00:26:11.600
But does that mean I’m I’m on the podcast or I’m just a listener?

594
00:26:11.720 –> 00:26:13.100
Whatever. But he’s like, oh, yeah.

595
00:26:13.100 –> 00:26:14.200
And we started talking.

596
00:26:14.320 –> 00:26:16.700
He telling me about how he and Sam Roberts are buds.

597
00:26:16.880 –> 00:26:18.860
And he’s like, oh, we’re going to go for drinks later

598
00:26:18.860 –> 00:26:20.760
at this other bar if you want to join us.

599
00:26:20.760 –> 00:26:24.660
So I’m like, we’re going to go have drinks with Sam Roberts and Terry Ryan.

600
00:26:24.820 –> 00:26:25.720
Fuck, yeah.

601
00:26:25.960 –> 00:26:30.000
So I leave him and my my buddy Rob and I go to this bar

602
00:26:30.000 –> 00:26:34.640
and we sit there for three beers waiting for these guys to show up.

603
00:26:35.160 –> 00:26:37.540
And they know, no, we didn’t get stood up.

604
00:26:37.540 –> 00:26:40.780
We were just because we were family and we had to leave.

605
00:26:40.980 –> 00:26:42.340
We’re old guys. We had to leave.

606
00:26:42.340 –> 00:26:43.440
Ship and sail, though.

607
00:26:44.640 –> 00:26:47.160
We were getting the RV the very next day.

608
00:26:47.300 –> 00:26:48.320
Like the next day was an early.

609
00:26:48.440 –> 00:26:50.900
So we waited as long as we could.

610
00:26:51.020 –> 00:26:52.560
And then after I was like, we got to go.

611
00:26:52.840 –> 00:26:56.120
And we knew as soon as like we left five minutes later, Sam Roberts

612
00:26:56.120 –> 00:26:58.660
and and Terry Ryan were probably going to show up at that bar.

613
00:26:58.800 –> 00:26:59.860
But we needed to go.

614
00:26:59.880 –> 00:27:01.880
So we we waited as long as we could.

615
00:27:02.000 –> 00:27:02.780
It’s a really cool bar.

616
00:27:02.880 –> 00:27:05.020
They were playing amazing music like we’re having a good time.

617
00:27:05.360 –> 00:27:06.320
But we left.

618
00:27:06.760 –> 00:27:10.400
And sure enough, later on, he posts videos of him at that bar,

619
00:27:10.480 –> 00:27:13.220
you know, watching another band play and stuff like that.

620
00:27:13.540 –> 00:27:15.860
So anyway, that was the night

621
00:27:15.860 –> 00:27:18.560
we almost got to party with Sam Roberts and Terry Ryan.

622
00:27:18.600 –> 00:27:20.080
But I did get to meet Terry Ryan.

623
00:27:20.200 –> 00:27:22.220
I took that selfie and I shared it out to everybody.

624
00:27:22.480 –> 00:27:23.500
He was a really cool guy.

625
00:27:23.640 –> 00:27:25.940
And he didn’t say no to being on the podcast.

626
00:27:26.020 –> 00:27:28.560
So I just have to reach out now and see if he remembers who I was,

627
00:27:28.580 –> 00:27:30.600
because he was a little drunk.

628
00:27:31.200 –> 00:27:32.380
And reach out with the selfie.

629
00:27:32.720 –> 00:27:33.800
Yes. Oh, yeah, it’s true.

630
00:27:34.140 –> 00:27:35.780
Well, he put it on his gram.

631
00:27:35.780 –> 00:27:38.380
Yeah, he he he replied to the gram.

632
00:27:38.380 –> 00:27:40.160
He said he enjoyed meeting me.

633
00:27:40.160 –> 00:27:43.800
So again, I don’t know if he remembered it or not,

634
00:27:43.800 –> 00:27:46.060
but there’s photographic evidence that we did meet.

635
00:27:46.080 –> 00:27:48.440
So he probably looked at the picture, go, oh, OK,

636
00:27:48.440 –> 00:27:50.760
maybe I should say something to this guy.

637
00:27:51.080 –> 00:27:52.560
Vague, blurry impression.

638
00:27:52.880 –> 00:27:54.340
So kudos to Adrian for.

639
00:27:54.760 –> 00:27:57.100
So I wasn’t stalking him, really.

640
00:27:57.180 –> 00:27:59.840
I was told by one of our listeners where he was.

641
00:28:00.020 –> 00:28:04.340
And I’m like, he just followed him and he outsourced the stalking.

642
00:28:04.340 –> 00:28:05.360
He skipped.

643
00:28:05.800 –> 00:28:07.080
Yes, that’s a good point.

644
00:28:07.120 –> 00:28:10.140
I outsourced everything about this podcast, even the stalking.

645
00:28:10.340 –> 00:28:11.440
So you guys do it for me.

646
00:28:11.440 –> 00:28:12.500
You just tell me where to be.

647
00:28:12.600 –> 00:28:16.300
You you you skipped the part where we were at the VIP section

648
00:28:16.300 –> 00:28:20.560
trying to peek in, like we were convinced that he must be there.

649
00:28:20.580 –> 00:28:23.360
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was a section that he ended up being in.

650
00:28:24.180 –> 00:28:26.520
But before you got the security wouldn’t let us in.

651
00:28:27.400 –> 00:28:31.400
So it was really creepy when it was really leaving these key points

652
00:28:31.400 –> 00:28:32.440
out of the story.

653
00:28:32.440 –> 00:28:36.360
I still think you should have just stayed because it’s that old adage.

654
00:28:37.180 –> 00:28:39.280
You know, you’re going to yell that for being an hour late.

655
00:28:39.400 –> 00:28:39.800
You might as well.

656
00:28:39.920 –> 00:28:42.880
I know, but I was already I was already feeling a little guilty

657
00:28:42.880 –> 00:28:45.420
for abandoning the family during a family vacation.

658
00:28:46.220 –> 00:28:48.380
But if you got to meet Sam Roberts, came back with that.

659
00:28:48.960 –> 00:28:52.140
That’s well, I was literally two feet away from Sam Roberts

660
00:28:52.140 –> 00:28:54.640
at one point, and people were going up to him for selfies and stuff.

661
00:28:54.680 –> 00:28:56.760
He’s shorter than he looks on stage anyway.

662
00:28:57.060 –> 00:28:58.840
But I didn’t want to bother him.

663
00:28:59.140 –> 00:29:01.320
He’s listening to this right now.

664
00:29:01.320 –> 00:29:04.700
Sam Roberts, I fucking love Sam Roberts.

665
00:29:05.440 –> 00:29:09.420
I I perform more than more than a couple of his songs with my old band.

666
00:29:09.940 –> 00:29:13.240
He’s awesome. So I’m a big, big fan of his anyway.

667
00:29:13.300 –> 00:29:15.740
So that was my my Terry Ryan story.

668
00:29:15.900 –> 00:29:18.860
So kudos to again, Adrian for for the tip.

669
00:29:19.380 –> 00:29:20.920
And yeah, it was a lot of fun.

670
00:29:22.720 –> 00:29:25.920
Before we move on, though, let’s let’s get to our sponsor

671
00:29:25.920 –> 00:29:28.040
before we talk to our guests tonight.

672
00:29:28.180 –> 00:29:29.440
And I was wrong.

673
00:29:29.580 –> 00:29:30.780
It wasn’t Jeff who was first.

674
00:29:30.780 –> 00:29:33.260
It was actually Lizard Lizard Kenny who was first.

675
00:29:33.340 –> 00:29:35.820
And this was the one she voted for.

676
00:29:40.550 –> 00:29:41.890
Wait, what are we doing again?

677
00:29:42.450 –> 00:29:43.530
The sponsor read.

678
00:29:44.210 –> 00:29:46.050
OK, wait, we have a sponsor.

679
00:29:46.550 –> 00:29:47.530
Yes, it’s Eric.

680
00:29:48.430 –> 00:29:49.830
Oh, I know Eric. He’s a good guy.

681
00:29:50.110 –> 00:29:52.290
I know. Did you know he sells coffee?

682
00:29:52.590 –> 00:29:53.290
Yes, of course.

683
00:29:53.390 –> 00:29:55.490
I think it’s called diabolical coffee.

684
00:29:55.670 –> 00:29:58.350
Can we just it’s devilishly good coffee.

685
00:29:58.490 –> 00:30:02.510
You don’t say he also sells diabolically awesome swag. Terrific.

686
00:30:02.670 –> 00:30:04.170
He’s got a roast for all tastes.

687
00:30:04.170 –> 00:30:04.930
Is that right?

688
00:30:05.210 –> 00:30:06.730
Yeah, you can order whole bean,

689
00:30:06.970 –> 00:30:10.490
course, standard grind and espresso, espresso, but whatever.

690
00:30:10.590 –> 00:30:13.190
Hey, don’t you intend to use K cups?

691
00:30:13.470 –> 00:30:14.230
You know, we do.

692
00:30:14.350 –> 00:30:17.230
I think he has those two. Wonderful.

693
00:30:17.450 –> 00:30:20.050
Imagine if we could use promo code like Kodustan

694
00:30:20.050 –> 00:30:22.710
to get 10 percent off coffee or merch from a store.

695
00:30:23.050 –> 00:30:24.530
Yes, that would be cool.

696
00:30:24.810 –> 00:30:26.730
Wait a minute. I just had a brilliant idea.

697
00:30:26.950 –> 00:30:27.410
What’s that?

698
00:30:27.890 –> 00:30:30.670
We should get diabolical coffee to sponsor the podcast.

699
00:30:30.770 –> 00:30:31.770
We should. Yes.

700
00:30:32.170 –> 00:30:33.950
Why have we never thought of that before?

701
00:30:34.170 –> 00:30:34.970
I give up.

702
00:30:37.050 –> 00:30:38.010
So thank you.

703
00:30:39.750 –> 00:30:42.950
Yeah, I just love how he just like wiggles the hippo in the bottom of the frame.

704

745
00:33:02.910 –> 00:33:05.210
Previously on Letter Kenny, the last couple of weeks,

746
00:33:05.270 –> 00:33:07.170
and I’ve been on vacation in beautiful Newfoundland.

747
00:33:07.190 –> 00:33:08.590
So we posted reruns of the K.

748
00:33:08.590 –> 00:33:10.430
Trevor Wilson and Tyler Johnson interviews.

749
00:33:10.790 –> 00:33:14.190
But while we were away, some of our listeners broke into the TPS studios

750
00:33:14.190 –> 00:33:16.270
and they recorded a couple of episodes of their own.

751
00:33:16.790 –> 00:33:18.530
They did such a great job.

752
00:33:18.550 –> 00:33:19.990
We had to publish them on our feed.

753
00:33:19.990 –> 00:33:21.870
So we hope you enjoyed them.

754
00:33:21.870 –> 00:33:24.430
And we called them the TPS Takeover episode.

755
00:33:24.610 –> 00:33:27.190
So tonight we’re joined by the TPS Takeover team.

756
00:33:27.450 –> 00:33:30.190
Casey, Trace, Awesome and Aaron, welcome.

757
00:33:31.610 –> 00:33:33.870
How are you now, Trace?

758
00:33:35.600 –> 00:33:37.020
Good. And you?

759
00:33:37.240 –> 00:33:38.580
Hey, he did it.

760
00:33:40.160 –> 00:33:40.920
You did it, bud.

761
00:33:41.760 –> 00:33:42.580
OK, here we go.

762
00:33:42.740 –> 00:33:44.280
Well, don’t bore us. Get to the chorus.

763
00:33:44.540 –> 00:33:45.360
Who should we talk to?

764
00:33:45.420 –> 00:33:49.480
You know, we’ll talk to Trace first since since I had to tease him about that.

765
00:33:51.260 –> 00:33:52.060
Welcome back.

766
00:33:52.060 –> 00:33:56.420
I mean, you are our resident limerisist and you did some great limericks

767
00:33:56.420 –> 00:33:58.700
while we were away. Well done on those.

768
00:33:59.660 –> 00:34:02.500
Yeah. So tell us, how did this happen?

769
00:34:02.500 –> 00:34:03.660
Why? Why did this happen?

770
00:34:03.780 –> 00:34:05.100
What whose idea was this?

771
00:34:05.100 –> 00:34:06.540
Who’s right? What idea was this?

772
00:34:07.480 –> 00:34:09.020
Well, originally it was

773
00:34:09.699 –> 00:34:12.560
we were all just lamenting the fact that we weren’t going to be able

774
00:34:12.560 –> 00:34:16.100
to get together and hang out in case he goes, well, I’ll host.

775
00:34:16.860 –> 00:34:18.340
And, you know, we’re like, cool.

776
00:34:18.340 –> 00:34:22.420
So we will all get to hang out and not feel so lonely.

777
00:34:23.840 –> 00:34:27.340
Well, at some point, yeah, Casey pops up and

778
00:34:27.340 –> 00:34:29.280
I think it was Casey. You’re awesome.

779
00:34:29.880 –> 00:34:32.060
It goes, hey, what if we recorded it?

780
00:34:33.080 –> 00:34:35.719
What do you mean? What if we record it?

781
00:34:35.900 –> 00:34:39.320
And then it just snowballed from there into what it became.

782
00:34:39.679 –> 00:34:42.699
I think I popped into the group and said, if you guys record this,

783
00:34:42.820 –> 00:34:44.020
I will put it on our feed.

784
00:34:44.639 –> 00:34:47.280
So, yes, before you said that, you said,

785
00:34:47.280 –> 00:34:48.900
oh, record it. Great.

786
00:34:48.940 –> 00:34:50.120
Here’s the sound board.

787
00:34:50.120 –> 00:34:53.280
Yeah. And then there was there was password discussion concerns.

788
00:34:53.560 –> 00:34:54.440
Thanks, Challenger.

789
00:34:54.940 –> 00:34:57.780
Yeah. So don’t act like, oh, how did this happen?

790
00:34:57.800 –> 00:34:59.960
I know, I know.

791
00:35:00.560 –> 00:35:01.600
The soundboard.

792
00:35:01.720 –> 00:35:03.280
You’re supposed to play along there, Casey.

793
00:35:03.860 –> 00:35:06.760
Casey, I’m going to call you the Joan Rivers to my

794
00:35:07.240 –> 00:35:09.740
my Johnny Carson, because you did an amazing job hosting.

795
00:35:09.760 –> 00:35:10.460
That was amazing.

796
00:35:10.700 –> 00:35:15.360
I was going to lead with that until she kind of spoiled it just now.

797
00:35:15.360 –> 00:35:19.180
But yeah, I mean, you were you were a natural.

798
00:35:19.380 –> 00:35:20.300
You should be doing these.

799
00:35:20.600 –> 00:35:22.380
You should be you should be having your own podcast.

800
00:35:22.460 –> 00:35:24.800
You were so good. You I mean,

801
00:35:26.980 –> 00:35:30.460
my goodness, leading or leading like a three ring circus.

802
00:35:30.600 –> 00:35:32.880
And you did a great job herding all the cats.

803
00:35:33.400 –> 00:35:35.180
I’m a single mom of two boys.

804
00:35:35.520 –> 00:35:37.440
I have that experience as well.

805
00:35:37.580 –> 00:35:40.460
You kept it going. Absolutely. Yeah.

806
00:35:40.600 –> 00:35:41.520
And I love it.

807
00:35:41.880 –> 00:35:43.000
Yeah, I absolutely love.

808
00:35:43.180 –> 00:35:43.840
I mean, I agree.

809
00:35:43.840 –> 00:35:44.760
I echo that already.

810
00:35:45.040 –> 00:35:47.140
And I love the intro in the first episode.

811
00:35:47.340 –> 00:35:48.720
Yes. It just crazy.

812
00:35:49.180 –> 00:35:50.120
It made me laugh.

813
00:35:50.120 –> 00:35:51.240
So I’m like, what is going on?

814
00:35:51.320 –> 00:35:52.400
First, I was like, what’s going on?

815
00:35:52.500 –> 00:35:54.420
And I said, oh, I see what’s happening here.

816
00:35:54.540 –> 00:35:56.720
And it was it was super cheesy.

817
00:35:56.860 –> 00:35:59.080
But I mean, then the best way is it just made me laugh.

818
00:35:59.100 –> 00:36:01.460
And I’m like, this is it was so fantastic.

819
00:36:01.660 –> 00:36:04.160
It reminded me so much of my college days,

820
00:36:04.520 –> 00:36:07.120
because that’s this is the kind of these are the kind of projects

821
00:36:07.120 –> 00:36:08.220
that we used to do.

822
00:36:09.060 –> 00:36:11.500
Except you guys did it so much better than we used to.

823
00:36:11.620 –> 00:36:13.320
But yeah.

824
00:36:13.820 –> 00:36:15.220
We took over the soundboard.

825
00:36:15.220 –> 00:36:17.140
You’re like, what’s this to do for her?

826
00:36:17.260 –> 00:36:18.920
I’m like, yes, so good.

827
00:36:19.020 –> 00:36:20.200
I was like, give me more.

828
00:36:22.200 –> 00:36:23.240
Oh, we lost. Awesome.

829
00:36:23.280 –> 00:36:24.080
Hopefully she comes back.

830
00:36:24.360 –> 00:36:26.540
Yeah, no, it’s funny,

831
00:36:26.560 –> 00:36:28.220
because when I listened back to that episode,

832
00:36:28.280 –> 00:36:31.500
it was after one of those really tough nights of dealing with that.

833
00:36:31.900 –> 00:36:34.860
The idiot RV guy in Newfoundland.

834
00:36:34.880 –> 00:36:38.540
And we had gone to bed and I’m like, I’m so I was fuming.

835
00:36:38.780 –> 00:36:40.040
So I couldn’t get to sleep.

836
00:36:40.220 –> 00:36:43.000
So I’m like, all right, you just posted the recording.

837
00:36:43.000 –> 00:36:46.620
So I listened back to it and I was literally laying in bed laughing.

838
00:36:47.180 –> 00:36:48.980
It was it was just so so well done.

839
00:36:48.980 –> 00:36:51.020
The whole theater, the mind thing like, yeah.

840
00:36:51.820 –> 00:36:55.400
So you guys didn’t just record an egg call social.

841
00:36:55.480 –> 00:36:57.700
You guys put some thought and effort into it.

842
00:36:57.900 –> 00:36:58.700
So it was so good.

843
00:36:58.960 –> 00:37:01.020
I don’t know who was the genius behind the writing,

844
00:37:01.080 –> 00:37:03.840
but you guys all delivered it like it was executed.

845
00:37:03.840 –> 00:37:06.200
It was true. It was it was.

846
00:37:06.820 –> 00:37:11.040
It was so perfect on the day that we

847
00:37:11.800 –> 00:37:16.600
our trip got cut in half and the four hour drive back to St.

848
00:37:17.020 –> 00:37:21.640
John’s and Al gave me the the the the first takeover.

849
00:37:21.920 –> 00:37:24.380
And I was laughing in the backseat of the car,

850
00:37:24.380 –> 00:37:28.360
even though I was like so sad that this is what our trip has become.

851
00:37:29.460 –> 00:37:34.140
But it was so you guys were so it was such perfectly timed

852
00:37:34.140 –> 00:37:36.960
to to to to just have that on our trip.

853
00:37:37.080 –> 00:37:38.560
Thank you so much for it.

854
00:37:41.040 –> 00:37:42.680
So happy to bring a little happiness.

855
00:37:42.880 –> 00:37:45.400
Yes. Yes. Oh, it was wonderful.

856
00:37:45.620 –> 00:37:46.680
It was really, really wonderful.

857
00:37:46.700 –> 00:37:48.040
We didn’t know of your struggles.

858
00:37:48.220 –> 00:37:49.760
Yeah. No, yeah, you’re right. Yeah, you didn’t.

859
00:37:49.920 –> 00:37:52.600
I didn’t because we weren’t I mean, I was posting a lot of pictures.

860
00:37:52.660 –> 00:37:53.820
I was posting all the good stuff.

861
00:37:54.060 –> 00:37:55.580
And look, we had good days.

862
00:37:55.600 –> 00:37:57.620
Oh, for sure. We had more good days than bad.

863
00:37:57.900 –> 00:38:00.240
It was just yeah.

864
00:38:00.340 –> 00:38:04.440
The really bad days were at least made a little brighter by listening to this trace

865
00:38:04.440 –> 00:38:08.640
that that especially the first limerick you wrote for that first episode.

866
00:38:09.200 –> 00:38:10.140
Sublime. I loved it.

867
00:38:10.140 –> 00:38:12.680
Like they’re they’re all the both of them were good.

868
00:38:12.680 –> 00:38:15.420
But down there, because it it was in the story.

869
00:38:15.500 –> 00:38:19.380
Like, well, I mean, it’s like I think I wrote it in the DM group is

870
00:38:19.380 –> 00:38:20.840
I painted myself into a corner.

871
00:38:20.940 –> 00:38:24.860
Yeah. When we when we came up when I was coming up with the

872
00:38:25.380 –> 00:38:28.560
I think I mentioned to be I think I just mentioned in the group and they said,

873
00:38:29.400 –> 00:38:31.940
you know, hey, what if we like pretend like we’re breaking

874
00:38:31.940 –> 00:38:36.460
into the produce stand and doing a thing to write up a script?

875
00:38:36.740 –> 00:38:39.260
OK. So I read it up and then I realized

876
00:38:40.200 –> 00:38:42.380
oh, shit, this is going to lead right into the intro.

877
00:38:43.900 –> 00:38:45.380
How am I going to put a limerick on here?

878
00:38:45.380 –> 00:38:46.600
Oh, it was well done.

879
00:38:46.680 –> 00:38:48.900
So well done. So well done.

880
00:38:48.900 –> 00:38:50.920
She warned a limerick into the middle of the story.

881
00:38:51.120 –> 00:38:54.660
Yeah. And Aaron, I so want Al to do it.

882
00:38:54.660 –> 00:38:58.620
You were doing the computer generated sound clips, right?

883
00:38:58.800 –> 00:38:59.880
I loved that.

884
00:39:00.000 –> 00:39:01.240
We’re totally doing that at the next.

885
00:39:01.580 –> 00:39:02.960
I loved that so much.

886
00:39:02.980 –> 00:39:04.580
I’m putting you in charge of that, Aaron.

887
00:39:04.680 –> 00:39:06.360
They were a smash hit.

888
00:39:06.600 –> 00:39:08.340
Yeah. Yeah. Well done.

889
00:39:08.340 –> 00:39:10.520
My favorite part of both egg halls.

890
00:39:11.040 –> 00:39:14.940
Yeah. And I loved on the takeover, too, where you’re like,

891
00:39:15.040 –> 00:39:18.020
and here’s the photo and let’s just sit on that for a little bit.

892
00:39:18.040 –> 00:39:22.000
And like and I’m like, I can’t see the photo because I’m just listening

893
00:39:22.000 –> 00:39:25.620
to the podcast, but I’m like, I can almost I can almost sense

894
00:39:25.620 –> 00:39:29.980
what that photo would be because you’re like, and that’s and that’s

895
00:39:29.980 –> 00:39:32.340
and that’s Wayne. We just going to look at him for a little bit.

896
00:39:33.920 –> 00:39:36.180
I had to have visuals and everything.

897
00:39:36.180 –> 00:39:38.600
But yeah, and we weren’t sure because it was so fun

898
00:39:38.600 –> 00:39:42.880
because we had these planning meetings prior and we had this whole Google Doc.

899
00:39:43.000 –> 00:39:44.140
I mean, do I want to spill our secrets?

900
00:39:44.280 –> 00:39:45.060
I think I am already.

901
00:39:45.500 –> 00:39:47.500
But like, OK, this is this is fine.

902
00:39:47.780 –> 00:39:52.080
Yeah. So we mentioned the Google Doc on both episodes.

903
00:39:52.400 –> 00:39:53.060
So I think we’re good.

904
00:39:53.420 –> 00:39:53.960
There’s nothing.

905
00:39:54.260 –> 00:39:57.720
But there’s also not a mystery because we dropped those in the main DM

906
00:39:57.720 –> 00:39:59.700
chat and in the group chat.

907
00:40:00.060 –> 00:40:02.540
So so everyone had access, literally.

908
00:40:03.060 –> 00:40:05.840
Yeah, I got I got I got to admit, I had a little laugh

909
00:40:05.840 –> 00:40:07.480
when I joined the second one.

910
00:40:07.800 –> 00:40:10.600
And there was this when you were trying to get one of the games going,

911
00:40:10.780 –> 00:40:12.000
you know, having trouble sharing your screen.

912
00:40:12.000 –> 00:40:15.440
And there was this like, I I I’m not I’m not teasing it,

913
00:40:15.440 –> 00:40:18.180
but I kind of am because I laughed and you’re bringing up this thing about,

914
00:40:18.500 –> 00:40:20.840
oh, I’ve got this thing I got to share so we can do it.

915
00:40:20.860 –> 00:40:23.360
And when you finally got it up, it was just a list of names.

916
00:40:23.560 –> 00:40:27.220
So I was expecting this like really complex PowerPoint or something.

917
00:40:28.200 –> 00:40:29.700
Hey, Aaron’s on the road right now.

918
00:40:29.840 –> 00:40:32.740
OK, like I loved I loved it so much.

919
00:40:32.880 –> 00:40:33.960
So it was it made my own.

920
00:40:34.040 –> 00:40:35.040
I’m like, this is amazing.

921
00:40:35.040 –> 00:40:37.820
Yeah, Aaron brought the fire for two straight weeks.

922
00:40:37.980 –> 00:40:38.940
You guys did you?

923
00:40:39.040 –> 00:40:40.380
Hotel lobbies and business.

924
00:40:40.480 –> 00:40:43.040
I was going to say, Aaron, you’re still on your road trip, right?

925
00:40:43.200 –> 00:40:45.760
So what? Here’s my professional one.

926
00:40:46.480 –> 00:40:47.740
That’s not what I saw.

927
00:40:47.820 –> 00:40:50.080
That’s a really nice little list of names.

928
00:40:50.860 –> 00:40:52.460
Oh, that was for the round robin thing.

929
00:40:52.940 –> 00:40:54.400
Yeah. Anyone want me to stop on that picture?

930
00:40:54.820 –> 00:40:58.200
No. I I did.

931
00:40:58.320 –> 00:41:01.460
I yeah, that one was that one was just for the list of names.

932
00:41:01.780 –> 00:41:02.160
I apologize.

933
00:41:02.780 –> 00:41:03.760
No, don’t apologize.

934
00:41:03.760 –> 00:41:06.460
I’m teasing, but it was really it was I kept waiting.

935
00:41:06.560 –> 00:41:08.240
Oh, I can’t wait to see what she’s going to share.

936
00:41:08.240 –> 00:41:10.880
And then it was this little crappy little.

937
00:41:11.820 –> 00:41:13.980
So where are you right now?

938
00:41:14.620 –> 00:41:16.420
I am in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

939
00:41:16.620 –> 00:41:19.280
Hershey, Pennsylvania, by way of like you’ve gone.

940
00:41:20.120 –> 00:41:21.520
Where were you?

941
00:41:21.660 –> 00:41:24.660
I was I went we went to Niagara first.

942
00:41:24.980 –> 00:41:25.900
I’m so sorry, Victor.

943
00:41:25.900 –> 00:41:28.260
We did not make it to the Butterfly Museum.

944
00:41:28.500 –> 00:41:33.660
I was pushing so hard, but like it’s it’s it’s like Kid Topia.

945
00:41:33.660 –> 00:41:36.380
They’re on the Canadian side, like that whole hill.

946
00:41:36.520 –> 00:41:38.340
It was it was hard to get up there.

947
00:41:38.340 –> 00:41:38.740
Oh, yeah.

948
00:41:38.820 –> 00:41:39.820
Linda’s Lane. Yeah.

949
00:41:40.320 –> 00:41:40.980
Yes, it was great.

950
00:41:41.040 –> 00:41:44.480
And then so from Niagara, we went to Boston for five days.

951
00:41:44.700 –> 00:41:48.960
Portland, Maine, New York City, Jersey Shore.

952
00:41:49.520 –> 00:41:51.800
We met Mike and his family.

953
00:41:51.900 –> 00:41:54.920
And then we did Philly today.

954
00:41:55.040 –> 00:41:55.800
And then now we’re in.

955
00:41:55.940 –> 00:41:56.680
We did Hershey.

956
00:41:56.940 –> 00:41:58.940
So we’re making our way home.

957
00:41:58.940 –> 00:42:03.240
Oh, but so during this entire trip, you had time to also have

958
00:42:03.240 –> 00:42:06.040
production meetings for this podcast takeover.

959
00:42:06.640 –> 00:42:09.980
And today you’re you’re you’re joining us from a makes you look lazy,

960
00:42:10.200 –> 00:42:14.160
doesn’t it? I know you’re not doing this in an RV, correct?

961
00:42:14.480 –> 00:42:17.100
No, she’s no, no RV broke down.

962
00:42:17.240 –> 00:42:18.200
So I had to hitch a ride.

963
00:42:18.240 –> 00:42:18.800
So I don’t know.

964
00:42:18.840 –> 00:42:19.700
I mean, they’re very friendly.

965
00:42:20.060 –> 00:42:24.800
People got a link if you need help, if you need to send help.

966
00:42:27.800 –> 00:42:29.120
That was Aaron’s big thing.

967
00:42:29.120 –> 00:42:32.500
She was like, I got an eight hour drive tomorrow, so I’m I’m doing nothing

968
00:42:32.500 –> 00:42:34.580
but production stuff.

969
00:42:34.580 –> 00:42:35.400
It’s amazing.

970
00:42:35.580 –> 00:42:37.020
Well, they’re utilizing your time.

971
00:42:37.400 –> 00:42:38.380
And that’s all I did.

972
00:42:38.380 –> 00:42:40.180
It was literally on that eight hour ride.

973
00:42:40.260 –> 00:42:42.400
I was like, OK, I’m just going to go with some ideas.

974
00:42:42.620 –> 00:42:45.660
And you’re one of those people that can like read

975
00:42:46.160 –> 00:42:48.320
as the car is driving, right?

976
00:42:48.720 –> 00:42:49.940
As move, I can’t.

977
00:42:49.960 –> 00:42:53.300
I was like, that’s a that’s a that’s a throw up right there.

978
00:42:53.380 –> 00:42:56.500
Like, no, that’s a throw up.

979
00:42:57.220 –> 00:42:58.360
I’ll read it for you.

980
00:42:58.500 –> 00:42:59.460
There’s an adjective.

981
00:42:59.460 –> 00:43:02.700
You know, the best part was

982
00:43:02.700 –> 00:43:06.960
Aaron was like, she goes, we could do like quotes and who said it.

983
00:43:07.580 –> 00:43:08.480
And I can’t remember.

984
00:43:08.600 –> 00:43:09.160
It might have been me.

985
00:43:09.300 –> 00:43:12.600
It says, yeah, but, you know, we got to figure out a way to change

986
00:43:12.600 –> 00:43:15.180
the inflection on its editor.

987
00:43:15.360 –> 00:43:16.480
It’s just going to be a dead giveaway.

988
00:43:16.720 –> 00:43:16.960
Yeah.

989
00:43:16.960 –> 00:43:18.800
She comes back the next night with these robot voices.

990
00:43:19.020 –> 00:43:19.900
That’s the greatest thing.

991
00:43:20.100 –> 00:43:20.940
It was perfect.

992
00:43:21.360 –> 00:43:24.100
Because some of those phrases are like obvious

993
00:43:24.100 –> 00:43:28.060
until you hear these robots say them like, oh, who is that?

994
00:43:28.060 –> 00:43:29.740
Yeah, it was it was so perfect.

995
00:43:29.760 –> 00:43:31.700
Well done in the pre show.

996
00:43:31.700 –> 00:43:35.060
You said something that I found really hilarious because you,

997
00:43:35.060 –> 00:43:38.200
quote unquote, smuggled some puppers over the border

998
00:43:39.500 –> 00:43:41.700
and you’re you’re you didn’t smuggle.

999
00:43:42.080 –> 00:43:45.480
I know you claim them, but you’re you’re like surprised

1000
00:43:45.480 –> 00:43:48.360
at how few Canadians actually know about letter Kenny.

1001
00:43:49.080 –> 00:43:53.260
I know I went across the border and I was like expecting

1002
00:43:53.260 –> 00:43:57.580
the Canadian wonderful person that was taking my my passport

1003
00:43:57.580 –> 00:43:59.660
to be like, oh, my God, you’re getting puppers.

1004
00:43:59.820 –> 00:44:00.600
Yeah, letter Kenny.

1005
00:44:00.900 –> 00:44:03.700
You know, and I did not get that energy.

1006
00:44:03.980 –> 00:44:07.380
I did not get that energy at all.

1007
00:44:07.560 –> 00:44:09.600
I have no idea what you’re talking about.

1008
00:44:09.820 –> 00:44:11.900
I used to work in a winery, but I don’t like wine.

1009
00:44:12.060 –> 00:44:16.940
I was like, OK, I used to work in a winery, but I don’t like wine.

1010
00:44:17.020 –> 00:44:18.560
Thank you. Can I have my passport back?

1011
00:44:19.120 –> 00:44:22.000
Did you cross for anything else other than puppers?

1012
00:44:22.420 –> 00:44:23.380
She went to Niagara Falls.

1013
00:44:24.100 –> 00:44:27.240
I may have seen Niagara Falls, so we got we went on

1014
00:44:27.580 –> 00:44:31.540
is the horn hornblower made of the mist, made of the mist.

1015
00:44:31.840 –> 00:44:33.960
We went on the Canadian side.

1016
00:44:34.320 –> 00:44:35.400
Yeah. Made of the mist is on that.

1017
00:44:35.420 –> 00:44:38.360
We had the red ponchos on.

1018
00:44:38.360 –> 00:44:40.380
Yeah. And so we got soaking wet.

1019
00:44:40.560 –> 00:44:41.700
It was fantastic.

1020
00:44:42.500 –> 00:44:47.120
And then we we kind of explored and I had to get my tin bits.

1021
00:44:47.300 –> 00:44:51.200
OK, so like, let’s say it’s not just it’s not just poppers.

1022
00:44:51.460 –> 00:44:52.060
So you’ve got the essentials.

1023
00:44:52.080 –> 00:44:53.840
You have poppers and Tim Biebs. Yeah.

1024
00:44:54.380 –> 00:44:56.500
Yeah. So I got what I needed.

1025
00:44:56.500 –> 00:44:57.860
And then said, thank you.

1026
00:44:58.320 –> 00:44:59.940
Amazing. Awesome.

1027
00:45:00.020 –> 00:45:00.840
How have you been?

1028
00:45:03.620 –> 00:45:06.340
I am a disaster human and a complete mess.

1029
00:45:06.360 –> 00:45:09.680
And there is no aspect of my life that I have together.

1030
00:45:10.120 –> 00:45:11.160
Oh, dear.

1031
00:45:11.880 –> 00:45:12.780
You made it on this.

1032
00:45:12.780 –> 00:45:14.160
But how but how are you doing?

1033
00:45:15.080 –> 00:45:16.180
Yeah, I know.

1034
00:45:16.180 –> 00:45:23.960
I’ve just been to see my physical therapist, you know.

1035
00:45:23.960 –> 00:45:26.300
So is that a better week or a worse week?

1036
00:45:26.300 –> 00:45:29.660
Is that status quo or is that, you know,

1037
00:45:29.800 –> 00:45:32.540
trying to gauge how we take this conversation?

1038
00:45:34.260 –> 00:45:36.800
Let’s just gloss past it.

1039
00:45:36.800 –> 00:45:38.060
All right. It’s fine.

1040
00:45:38.920 –> 00:45:43.100
But on the bright side, you kick ass at trivia, I must say.

1041
00:45:43.100 –> 00:45:48.300
And now I completely and utterly understand why you get all of Al’s

1042
00:45:49.760 –> 00:45:53.060
questions quickly, because you’re on a different

1043
00:45:53.060 –> 00:45:54.620
you’re on a different level.

1044
00:45:54.740 –> 00:45:55.860
I’m going to take exception to it.

1045
00:45:55.860 –> 00:45:58.920
She she kicks ass at perplexing people.

1046
00:45:58.940 –> 00:46:00.780
I wouldn’t call what she did trivia.

1047
00:46:00.820 –> 00:46:02.060
No, that was trivia.

1048
00:46:02.080 –> 00:46:03.140
It was trivia.

1049
00:46:03.620 –> 00:46:04.260
Definitely.

1050
00:46:04.560 –> 00:46:07.260
Did anyone answer one of your questions?

1051
00:46:08.060 –> 00:46:09.400
Yeah, it was cricket.

1052
00:46:09.440 –> 00:46:13.760
I especially I especially loved when when I and I can’t remember

1053
00:46:13.760 –> 00:46:17.780
who it was that gave like a hint to the clue to what it was.

1054
00:46:17.840 –> 00:46:19.500
And you were like, back off.

1055
00:46:19.920 –> 00:46:21.000
Don’t give any hints.

1056
00:46:22.040 –> 00:46:24.260
And everybody’s like, oh,

1057
00:46:24.260 –> 00:46:26.720
but I ask a question and literally there would be

1058
00:46:29.220 –> 00:46:31.900
the disdain in their awesome voice.

1059
00:46:32.180 –> 00:46:33.840
Don’t give them a hint.

1060
00:46:34.060 –> 00:46:36.460
I was so I was like, shit.

1061
00:46:36.600 –> 00:46:39.060
Awesomely, they did to me and I didn’t even feel it at the time.

1062
00:46:39.060 –> 00:46:42.100
But when I heard it, I was like, she took that more seriously.

1063
00:46:42.400 –> 00:46:43.700
But I was laughing.

1064
00:46:44.080 –> 00:46:46.700
If you take your trivia, if you take your trivia game,

1065
00:46:46.700 –> 00:46:49.280
just just down by maybe about 10 percent,

1066
00:46:49.400 –> 00:46:52.340
maybe the rest of your life balances out differently.

1067
00:46:53.000 –> 00:46:57.340
I had already given everybody as much help as I was going to give them

1068
00:46:57.340 –> 00:46:59.960
by telling them we weren’t going past series six.

1069
00:46:59.960 –> 00:47:01.180
I appreciated that.

1070
00:47:01.620 –> 00:47:06.340
But I feel like even if even if he had gone past series six,

1071
00:47:06.380 –> 00:47:09.080
there weren’t you didn’t ask any questions I would have come up with.

1072
00:47:10.200 –> 00:47:14.860
So, well, you know, I just I stuck to observable facts.

1073
00:47:15.120 –> 00:47:18.140
Anybody who’s watched the show could have picked up on any of those things

1074
00:47:18.140 –> 00:47:19.620
at any time.

1075
00:47:19.620 –> 00:47:22.300
It was like doing like a win Ben Stein’s money kind of.

1076
00:47:22.520 –> 00:47:25.860
Oh, man. So here after listening to that,

1077
00:47:25.860 –> 00:47:28.920
I came to a unilateral decision.

1078
00:47:29.480 –> 00:47:32.240
Awesome has been retired from trivia from henceforth.

1079
00:47:33.060 –> 00:47:34.120
She’s hiring my number.

1080
00:47:34.360 –> 00:47:38.380
She’s she’s been added to the the TPS trivia pantheon.

1081
00:47:38.420 –> 00:47:41.180
She is now going to be an observer, maybe even, you know,

1082
00:47:41.280 –> 00:47:45.160
an occasional trivia master, but she’s not she’s no longer

1083
00:47:45.160 –> 00:47:47.320
going to be a competitor. Oh, well, pump breaks.

1084
00:47:50.540 –> 00:47:53.360
Because or else I’ll just keep on sending her t-shirts

1085
00:47:53.360 –> 00:47:54.800
because she’ll just keep on winning.

1086
00:47:55.100 –> 00:47:58.060
Speaking of, was there a jersey going your way?

1087
00:47:58.200 –> 00:47:59.620
Chad said retired Jeff, too.

1088
00:47:59.720 –> 00:48:02.380
Well, we’ll give Jeff a few a few chances

1089
00:48:02.380 –> 00:48:06.980
when without having to compete with awesome to see if he can also be retired.

1090
00:48:07.120 –> 00:48:11.220
Maybe we’ll have like a trivia master tournament later

1091
00:48:11.220 –> 00:48:12.740
when we have like four.

1092
00:48:12.780 –> 00:48:15.300
Awesome was that one has to be bracketed, though.

1093
00:48:15.320 –> 00:48:17.240
Yeah. Well, we’ll have to figure out.

1094
00:48:17.240 –> 00:48:19.500
Maybe I’ll create a Kahoot!

1095
00:48:19.620 –> 00:48:22.160
Because that might be the most fair way to do it.

1096
00:48:23.100 –> 00:48:24.360
But anyway, the cool kids are doing these.

1097
00:48:24.520 –> 00:48:26.480
Yeah, it’s all the cool kids are doing. The Cougs.

1098
00:48:28.740 –> 00:48:30.140
Love. I’ve never done one.

1099
00:48:30.260 –> 00:48:31.840
My kids talk about them.

1100
00:48:31.840 –> 00:48:33.620
No, I mean, we do them at work all the time.

1101
00:48:33.620 –> 00:48:35.360
Yeah. I don’t think I’ve done a Kahoot!

1102
00:48:35.380 –> 00:48:36.140
What is a Kahoot!

1103
00:48:36.140 –> 00:48:37.240
It’s like an online trip.

1104
00:48:37.360 –> 00:48:40.500
You remember that game we play with all of the work?

1105
00:48:40.680 –> 00:48:42.600
Like it’s a party game where people can use their phones.

1106
00:48:42.860 –> 00:48:43.380
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1107
00:48:43.420 –> 00:48:45.300
It’s kind of like that. But it’s just a quiz.

1108
00:48:45.300 –> 00:48:50.620
Yeah, that would make it more fair because, yeah, if you’re a fast

1109
00:48:50.620 –> 00:48:52.020
typer, then you’re always going to win.

1110
00:48:52.360 –> 00:48:53.940
I’m surprised we haven’t used it already.

1111
00:48:53.940 –> 00:48:55.740
That makes total sense to do that.

1112
00:48:55.740 –> 00:48:57.840
Yeah, it just takes a long time to set up.

1113
00:48:58.080 –> 00:49:00.280
And then Chad doesn’t have to complain any more about it.

1114
00:49:01.440 –> 00:49:02.100
Fuck you, Chad.

1115
00:49:02.700 –> 00:49:05.500
Maybe I’ll do it for the robotic quotes next time.

1116
00:49:05.540 –> 00:49:08.360
I love those robotic quotes, and that’s going to be your job from that.

1117
00:49:08.360 –> 00:49:09.340
Next Ag Hall Social.

1118
00:49:10.060 –> 00:49:11.360
You’re bringing the robot quotes.

1119
00:49:11.600 –> 00:49:12.900
Further delegating responsibility.

1120
00:49:13.420 –> 00:49:14.400
I’m loving this. This is great.

1121
00:49:14.400 –> 00:49:16.060
We’re building the team here.

1122
00:49:16.440 –> 00:49:18.400
You know what, Aaron, you did a great job again.

1123
00:49:18.400 –> 00:49:23.160
And as I was reading Al’s RV review, I was thinking, wouldn’t it be great

1124
00:49:23.160 –> 00:49:28.920
if Aaron had a segment of just just out there on the Internet somewhere?

1125
00:49:29.080 –> 00:49:33.300
Aaron had a segment like about giving reviews, but not positive reviews,

1126
00:49:33.420 –> 00:49:35.940
like negative reviews, because they would still come across positive

1127
00:49:35.940 –> 00:49:37.520
in some weird way. She delivers them.

1128
00:49:37.780 –> 00:49:38.780
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1129
00:49:39.640 –> 00:49:40.880
It’s like grade one energy.

1130
00:49:40.880 –> 00:49:44.440
Yes. This RV company sucks so bad.

1131
00:49:44.600 –> 00:49:45.860
And then I tell you why.

1132
00:49:46.240 –> 00:49:46.680
Exactly.

1133
00:49:46.860 –> 00:49:49.540
You’re bringing the robot quotes to do the next diabolical coffee ad.

1134
00:49:50.020 –> 00:49:51.580
Oh, I’ve been trying to figure out

1135
00:49:51.580 –> 00:49:53.680
what are we going to do with the new diabolical coffee ad.

1136
00:49:54.420 –> 00:49:58.060
But I deep down know that Aaron’s filled with positivity,

1137
00:49:58.800 –> 00:50:02.140
but when there’s that trigger, there’s this dark side there.

1138
00:50:02.140 –> 00:50:02.860
We haven’t seen it.

1139
00:50:02.880 –> 00:50:05.240
And I hope we never do, because it’s probably more terrifying

1140
00:50:05.240 –> 00:50:06.560
than any of us have experienced.

1141
00:50:07.840 –> 00:50:10.860
I’ll tell you, I’ve been on the road for three weeks.

1142
00:50:10.860 –> 00:50:15.140
With my lovely family, my preteen daughter, like like and it hasn’t happened yet.

1143
00:50:15.160 –> 00:50:16.480
So what really happened?

1144
00:50:16.500 –> 00:50:17.820
You’re still saying lovely family.

1145
00:50:17.820 –> 00:50:18.720
So that’s a good thing.

1146
00:50:18.720 –> 00:50:21.660
I don’t know. I felt like there’s there’s a little bit of something

1147
00:50:21.660 –> 00:50:22.820
there was an undersound there.

1148
00:50:23.460 –> 00:50:25.660
The word talk for two hours straight today,

1149
00:50:25.680 –> 00:50:27.360
and I thought I was going to lose my mind.

1150
00:50:28.380 –> 00:50:29.720
Yeah, that’s my life.

1151
00:50:29.960 –> 00:50:31.560
I know when you have so many years at kindergarten

1152
00:50:31.560 –> 00:50:34.120
and you’re back like it’s like all of it.

1153
00:50:35.400 –> 00:50:40.620
Well, you are the the TPS cheerleader, for sure.

1154
00:50:40.620 –> 00:50:42.680
And it’s don’t don’t go changing.

1155
00:50:42.960 –> 00:50:45.740
Don’t don’t change, Casey.

1156
00:50:47.420 –> 00:50:50.640
Well, you mentioned your background in radio

1157
00:50:50.640 –> 00:50:52.060
and it’s apparent when you were hosting.

1158
00:50:52.360 –> 00:50:54.660
What can you want to tell us a little bit more about that?

1159
00:50:56.480 –> 00:51:01.940
Um, I was 18 and got an overnight job at a local radio station

1160
00:51:01.940 –> 00:51:04.980
because there was a boy that I met through community theater

1161
00:51:04.980 –> 00:51:07.700
who worked at a radio station in Charlottesville.

1162
00:51:07.700 –> 00:51:11.400
And he said I should be in radio.

1163
00:51:11.420 –> 00:51:13.400
And I thought, well, you’re cute.

1164
00:51:13.560 –> 00:51:15.260
And I’m young and impressionable.

1165
00:51:15.520 –> 00:51:19.400
So, yeah, yeah, man, I’ll try radio as one does.

1166
00:51:20.200 –> 00:51:22.240
You know, that’s how Casey does, apparently.

1167
00:51:22.380 –> 00:51:23.920
That’s how 18 year old Casey does.

1168
00:51:26.400 –> 00:51:28.780
So so I tried it.

1169
00:51:29.360 –> 00:51:31.640
And we’re talking about radio still, right?

1170
00:51:31.680 –> 00:51:34.620
Yes. Yeah, easy.

1171
00:51:35.800 –> 00:51:38.660
Squirrely take about 25 percent off there, but

1172
00:51:39.960 –> 00:51:43.880
I get trained by a guy with Tourette’s who every time he cracks the mic,

1173
00:51:44.060 –> 00:51:45.320
his ticks go away.

1174
00:51:45.400 –> 00:51:46.980
Oh, really? It’s a true story.

1175
00:51:47.100 –> 00:51:49.960
He was a spitter and an F bomb dropper.

1176
00:51:50.360 –> 00:51:52.000
Nicest guy I’ve met.

1177
00:51:52.240 –> 00:51:54.200
It was my first encounter with somebody with Tourette’s,

1178
00:51:54.200 –> 00:51:55.980
and I was being trained to be on the radio.

1179
00:51:56.060 –> 00:52:00.160
So that was a really interesting kind of foray into the industry.

1180
00:52:00.660 –> 00:52:02.920
Long story short, I stayed.

1181
00:52:02.920 –> 00:52:06.700
I went to Arizona and worked in that market for just a little bit.

1182
00:52:06.700 –> 00:52:07.520
Stop it, Karen.

1183
00:52:07.780 –> 00:52:09.200
Sorry, my cat’s attacking me.

1184
00:52:09.400 –> 00:52:12.980
And then I came back home to Harrisonburg, Virginia,

1185
00:52:13.080 –> 00:52:15.480
and got a job at a local radio station

1186
00:52:15.480 –> 00:52:22.160
when I did top 40 radio country and classic rock for about.

1187
00:52:23.480 –> 00:52:24.500
Four years.

1188
00:52:24.620 –> 00:52:26.960
Wow, that’s a long time.

1189
00:52:27.720 –> 00:52:30.740
Yeah. So from 18 to about 28.

1190
00:52:30.960 –> 00:52:32.780
So I had about a 10 year career.

1191
00:52:32.780 –> 00:52:36.260
I ended it doing like three years of news broadcasting.

1192
00:52:36.780 –> 00:52:39.460
I was an afternoon news reporter on our AM station

1193
00:52:39.460 –> 00:52:43.980
and worked for a guy here in town called Carl Maggenhofer.

1194
00:52:44.160 –> 00:52:45.700
And he’s a really good friend of mine.

1195
00:52:45.920 –> 00:52:48.720
He met me in my first job when I was 18.

1196
00:52:48.760 –> 00:52:50.980
And then I left and lived in Arizona for three years

1197
00:52:50.980 –> 00:52:53.120
and came back and ended up working in his newsroom.

1198
00:52:53.180 –> 00:52:55.120
So it’s really like a small town.

1199
00:52:55.320 –> 00:52:55.420
Sure.

1200
00:52:55.580 –> 00:52:56.940
People know each other. I’m a townie.

1201
00:52:56.980 –> 00:52:57.940
So it’s really nice.

1202
00:52:58.800 –> 00:53:04.940
Yeah. And so then life being what it was, I radio.

1203
00:53:05.820 –> 00:53:07.800
I guess I didn’t want to pursue the hustle.

1204
00:53:08.680 –> 00:53:10.640
It’s a hustle radio.

1205
00:53:10.980 –> 00:53:13.480
And it was going through really hard times

1206
00:53:13.480 –> 00:53:14.780
and I wanted to finish my degree.

1207
00:53:16.200 –> 00:53:19.040
So a lot of things were happening at that time.

1208
00:53:19.200 –> 00:53:20.460
And I just wanted something different.

1209
00:53:20.540 –> 00:53:25.240
So I originally went back to college when I was 26.

1210
00:53:25.880 –> 00:53:26.880
Because I didn’t finish.

1211
00:53:27.160 –> 00:53:29.520
It took me like 11 years to get my master’s degree.

1212
00:53:29.760 –> 00:53:30.840
And it’s kind of a windy road.

1213
00:53:31.280 –> 00:53:35.100
But regardless, I thought I was going to go for media arts and design.

1214
00:53:35.440 –> 00:53:39.080
But in my first communications class, like 101,

1215
00:53:39.680 –> 00:53:42.640
they were telling me about how the industry formed

1216
00:53:42.640 –> 00:53:43.660
and how the industry works.

1217
00:53:43.680 –> 00:53:46.340
And I was like, I’m not paying thousands of dollars

1218
00:53:46.340 –> 00:53:49.300
to learn about the 10-year career I just had.

1219
00:53:49.460 –> 00:53:49.740
Right.

1220
00:53:49.740 –> 00:53:50.500
Where’s my passion?

1221
00:53:50.600 –> 00:53:50.940
Sure.

1222
00:53:51.100 –> 00:53:54.460
So that’s how I got out of radio and ended up in university.

1223
00:53:54.460 –> 00:53:56.720
Do you miss it?

1224
00:53:57.180 –> 00:53:57.980
Well, yeah.

1225
00:53:57.980 –> 00:54:00.280
I didn’t realize how much I missed it

1226
00:54:00.280 –> 00:54:04.580
until you sort of like pushed me over the edge with the soundboard.

1227
00:54:04.720 –> 00:54:07.940
Because what you don’t know about me is that I love production.

1228
00:54:07.960 –> 00:54:11.620
And I’ve been really lucky in the last three years at my job at JMU

1229
00:54:11.620 –> 00:54:14.640
to be able to like lean into those old talents.

1230
00:54:14.720 –> 00:54:18.940
So I wasn’t producing radio, but I was producing video for JMU.

1231
00:54:19.040 –> 00:54:21.500
It was a new skill that I picked up in the last three years.

1232
00:54:22.840 –> 00:54:26.380
And so that like kind of got the producer bug in me.

1233
00:54:26.680 –> 00:54:29.660
And then hanging out with you guys and being able to talk.

1234
00:54:30.180 –> 00:54:33.160
And it’s just kind of been a nice little like return

1235
00:54:33.160 –> 00:54:34.740
to what I used to be able to do.

1236
00:54:34.840 –> 00:54:36.500
So being able to do these two episodes

1237
00:54:36.500 –> 00:54:38.960
was really super nostalgic for me.

1238
00:54:39.040 –> 00:54:44.220
It reminded me of like a person that I was when I was younger.

1239
00:54:44.600 –> 00:54:47.540
So it was nice to tap into that and connect that now with like…

1240
00:54:47.540 –> 00:54:47.960
Yeah.

1241
00:54:48.120 –> 00:54:48.440
Me now.

1242
00:54:48.440 –> 00:54:49.900
Matt’s feeling you right now.

1243
00:54:49.900 –> 00:54:51.380
I’m feeling you fully.

1244
00:54:51.940 –> 00:54:52.000
Yeah.

1245
00:54:52.000 –> 00:54:53.540
Like that I’ve talked about before.

1246
00:54:53.600 –> 00:54:57.800
I went to school for television and at the time new media production.

1247
00:54:58.560 –> 00:55:00.480
And started down that path.

1248
00:55:00.940 –> 00:55:03.160
And I mean, I didn’t get a 10-year career out of it,

1249
00:55:03.160 –> 00:55:04.880
but it was definitely a passion.

1250
00:55:05.320 –> 00:55:08.520
So over the years I’ve talked before with Al and things at work,

1251
00:55:08.580 –> 00:55:12.180
trying to find ways to dip my toes into the industry

1252
00:55:12.180 –> 00:55:17.780
or get experiences that kind of tap into those old passions is fun and exciting.

1253
00:55:17.780 –> 00:55:20.740
And yeah, so I totally get you.

1254
00:55:20.880 –> 00:55:24.460
I meant to ask you, Matt, have you had any other voiceover opportunities?

1255
00:55:25.080 –> 00:55:27.660
No, there’s still a few options that come up.

1256
00:55:28.520 –> 00:55:30.260
Only one if I put my name for it.

1257
00:55:30.260 –> 00:55:31.760
I didn’t get a call back on the one.

1258
00:55:31.760 –> 00:55:33.160
I’m working with the guy.

1259
00:55:33.540 –> 00:55:38.860
I’m probably going to re-record a couple things to build up a little bit of…

1260
00:55:38.860 –> 00:55:39.300
Portfolio.

1261
00:55:39.480 –> 00:55:40.240
A portfolio.

1262
00:55:40.860 –> 00:55:41.020
Yeah.

1263
00:55:41.540 –> 00:55:45.220
I think, like I said, that first one, which was the biggest opportunity…

1264
00:55:45.220 –> 00:55:48.080
I think that the McDonald’s ship has sailed.

1265
00:55:48.280 –> 00:55:48.960
That was like…

1266
00:55:48.960 –> 00:55:49.520
Yeah, I missed that.

1267
00:55:49.620 –> 00:55:50.740
And I’ve heard the ad.

1268
00:55:51.020 –> 00:55:53.540
I’ve heard the ad because I had the coffee, right?

1269
00:55:53.540 –> 00:55:53.840
Right.

1270
00:55:53.840 –> 00:55:56.200
I’ve heard the ad and I heard on the radio one day, I laughed.

1271
00:55:56.340 –> 00:55:57.380
I’m like, it could have been me.

1272
00:55:58.940 –> 00:56:01.380
The real question is, did you listen to it and go,

1273
00:56:02.060 –> 00:56:02.980
yeah, I would have done it better.

1274
00:56:03.700 –> 00:56:04.960
No, he did it really good.

1275
00:56:05.020 –> 00:56:05.600
Oh, okay.

1276
00:56:05.760 –> 00:56:07.340
No, I can respect the art.

1277
00:56:07.920 –> 00:56:08.900
Game, recognize game.

1278
00:56:09.180 –> 00:56:10.740
Yeah, yeah. He did a good job.

1279
00:56:11.500 –> 00:56:14.080
But I laughed and I was with my kid, my older guy.

1280
00:56:14.080 –> 00:56:15.420
I’m like, that might have been me.

1281
00:56:15.780 –> 00:56:16.200
Or it could have been me.

1282
00:56:16.280 –> 00:56:16.700
He’s like, what do you mean?

1283
00:56:16.780 –> 00:56:18.680
I’m like, it could have been me.

1284
00:56:18.760 –> 00:56:19.560
It could have been me.

1285
00:56:21.760 –> 00:56:23.820
I’m still connected with the agency, though.

1286
00:56:23.820 –> 00:56:25.740
And they send me any leads.

1287
00:56:25.900 –> 00:56:27.020
It’s all non-union stuff.

1288
00:56:27.060 –> 00:56:30.520
So it doesn’t come up as commonly as frequently.

1289
00:56:31.780 –> 00:56:33.300
Matt’s going to have PTSD now.

1290
00:56:33.420 –> 00:56:35.860
Every time he hears that, he’s going to be like,

1291
00:56:35.860 –> 00:56:36.960
it could have been me.

1292
00:56:37.020 –> 00:56:38.180
Could have been me.

1293
00:56:38.320 –> 00:56:40.180
I’ve been eating fries for three months.

1294
00:56:42.640 –> 00:56:43.040
Oh, wow.

1295
00:56:43.680 –> 00:56:46.540
Trace, again, bang up job on that script

1296
00:56:46.540 –> 00:56:48.300
and the limericks and stuff.

1297
00:56:49.620 –> 00:56:51.160
I mean, I already said to you guys,

1298
00:56:52.020 –> 00:56:55.500
there’s no reason why the TPS feed is only once a week.

1299
00:56:55.520 –> 00:56:58.400
If you guys want to do these takeovers on a regular basis,

1300
00:56:58.420 –> 00:57:00.540
maybe not weekly, but monthly or quarterly,

1301
00:57:01.280 –> 00:57:02.320
I will post them.

1302
00:57:02.620 –> 00:57:03.340
I will post them.

1303
00:57:03.540 –> 00:57:05.540
So if you guys want to continue them,

1304
00:57:05.560 –> 00:57:08.400
I have no problem with posting them on our feed.

1305
00:57:09.260 –> 00:57:10.080
Well, here’s the thing.

1306
00:57:10.080 –> 00:57:14.020
And I don’t mean it in a bad way.

1307
00:57:14.100 –> 00:57:19.000
It’s just, you know, at least from my standpoint,

1308
00:57:19.000 –> 00:57:21.900
I was used to just seeing Casey and Ag Halls

1309
00:57:21.900 –> 00:57:23.520
and talking in the DM group.

1310
00:57:25.360 –> 00:57:29.180
When the red light’s on and the rubber meets the roof,

1311
00:57:29.980 –> 00:57:31.720
she looks like you think a DJ looks.

1312
00:57:32.120 –> 00:57:35.060
She’s talking and she’s moving about a million different ways.

1313
00:57:35.640 –> 00:57:37.580
And she’s listening because she’s adding

1314
00:57:37.580 –> 00:57:39.220
to the conversation and everything.

1315
00:57:39.220 –> 00:57:43.600
And I was like, wow, she knows what she’s doing.

1316
00:57:44.760 –> 00:57:46.320
And that was the part that made me go,

1317
00:57:46.400 –> 00:57:48.820
oh crap, how bad would this have been if she wasn’t here?

1318
00:57:50.480 –> 00:57:52.720
And then I look at like, you know, Aaron,

1319
00:57:52.840 –> 00:57:55.840
and I’m like, well, you know,

1320
00:57:57.580 –> 00:57:59.960
Aaron’s A game’s like really, really, really funny.

1321
00:58:00.580 –> 00:58:02.060
I was like, that’s great.

1322
00:58:02.200 –> 00:58:05.900
And my whole thing is I was just going to stay out of the way and write.

1323
00:58:05.900 –> 00:58:10.120
And, you know, and then awesome gonna awesome.

1324
00:58:10.220 –> 00:58:12.060
And that’s never not awesome.

1325
00:58:12.740 –> 00:58:14.340
And I was just like, okay,

1326
00:58:14.360 –> 00:58:16.000
I’ll just throw in tidbits here and there.

1327
00:58:16.100 –> 00:58:18.260
I’ll write some limericks script

1328
00:58:18.260 –> 00:58:20.000
and basically just stay out of the way

1329
00:58:20.000 –> 00:58:22.420
because I thought they were great.

1330
00:58:22.960 –> 00:58:26.220
Oh, I thought the intro to take over one,

1331
00:58:26.220 –> 00:58:27.300
I thought you were funny in it.

1332
00:58:27.600 –> 00:58:29.140
The few lines you had to deliver,

1333
00:58:29.200 –> 00:58:30.340
you delivered them perfectly.

1334
00:58:31.680 –> 00:58:33.880
Well, don’t downplay my friend.

1335
00:58:34.000 –> 00:58:35.300
You guys are all fantastic.

1336
00:58:35.300 –> 00:58:38.620
I’ll bring you bring just as much effort.

1337
00:58:40.420 –> 00:58:44.200
The great thing about this for me was,

1338
00:58:45.580 –> 00:58:47.100
one, the fact that we’ve never met,

1339
00:58:47.240 –> 00:58:49.300
because that colors a lot for me.

1340
00:58:50.520 –> 00:58:53.220
We immediately like gelled and collaborated

1341
00:58:53.220 –> 00:58:54.720
and started working together.

1342
00:58:54.800 –> 00:58:58.820
This was like the most pleasant thing to do with nearby strangers.

1343
00:58:59.040 –> 00:59:00.140
Like not that we’re strangers,

1344
00:59:00.260 –> 00:59:00.980
but you know what I’m saying?

1345
00:59:01.000 –> 00:59:04.140
Like I have more closer frequent contacts

1346
00:59:04.140 –> 00:59:07.080
with other people that I have to accomplish things with

1347
00:59:07.080 –> 00:59:09.860
that can be challenging

1348
00:59:09.860 –> 00:59:11.820
because there are personalities involved.

1349
00:59:11.860 –> 00:59:15.760
And this was like a dream to do with you guys.

1350
00:59:16.180 –> 00:59:18.320
We worked so well together.

1351
00:59:19.260 –> 00:59:21.340
I felt like we respected each other.

1352
00:59:21.360 –> 00:59:22.940
We heard each other’s ideas.

1353
00:59:23.780 –> 00:59:26.600
We couldn’t have done this without each other.

1354
00:59:29.540 –> 00:59:32.180
Yeah, there’s a lot of bouncing off ideas

1355
00:59:32.180 –> 00:59:33.240
with each other.

1356
00:59:33.240 –> 00:59:37.000
We kind of like heightened and made each other better, really.

1357
00:59:38.520 –> 00:59:41.660
Our brainstorming sessions were so rewarding,

1358
00:59:41.660 –> 00:59:45.800
you know, because it really was so much give and take

1359
00:59:45.800 –> 00:59:47.340
throughout the process.

1360
00:59:48.840 –> 00:59:53.520
I constantly worry myself about steamrolling a conversation.

1361
00:59:56.220 –> 00:59:59.600
Because of, again, the back and forth,

1362
01:00:00.000 –> 01:00:03.040
I did not worry about that with you guys.

1363
01:00:03.560 –> 01:00:07.580
Well, and I do want to give a shout out to Liz Hoopla

1364
01:00:07.580 –> 01:00:11.560
because Liz was involved in the chat

1365
01:00:11.560 –> 01:00:15.540
but she couldn’t make like the rehearsal meetings

1366
01:00:15.540 –> 01:00:16.800
because she was in Hawaii.

1367
01:00:17.180 –> 01:00:21.260
So she was definitely in the chat with us supporting

1368
01:00:21.260 –> 01:00:22.780
and rooting us on.

1369
01:00:23.620 –> 01:00:24.860
Yeah, everyone who joined.

1370
01:00:24.940 –> 01:00:25.580
But here’s the thing.

1371
01:00:25.580 –> 01:00:27.100
Here’s what I was expecting, right?

1372
01:00:27.340 –> 01:00:30.100
Like when I said, yeah, if you guys record something,

1373
01:00:30.120 –> 01:00:30.740
I’ll throw it on.

1374
01:00:30.740 –> 01:00:33.900
I was expecting an egg haul or an after party

1375
01:00:33.900 –> 01:00:35.500
where you guys all just got together.

1376
01:00:35.780 –> 01:00:39.180
Maybe somebody would try to guide the conversation

1377
01:00:39.180 –> 01:00:41.200
but it would be just kind of you guys chatting

1378
01:00:41.200 –> 01:00:42.700
and whatever which would have been fine

1379
01:00:42.700 –> 01:00:44.600
and I would have happily posted that too.

1380
01:00:44.920 –> 01:00:47.900
So imagine my surprise when that first opening

1381
01:00:47.900 –> 01:00:49.520
and it’s like theater of the mind

1382
01:00:49.520 –> 01:00:51.920
with fucking sound effects and script

1383
01:00:51.920 –> 01:00:53.920
and a perfectly placed limerick

1384
01:00:53.920 –> 01:00:56.260
and just everything about it was just perfect.

1385
01:00:56.500 –> 01:00:58.560
And I’m like, holy crap, they actually took this.

1386
01:00:58.580 –> 01:01:00.380
You even had the ad read in there.

1387
01:01:00.380 –> 01:01:02.840
And the closing.

1388
01:01:03.100 –> 01:01:05.100
Casey went through like an episode and goes,

1389
01:01:05.380 –> 01:01:06.620
well, we got to get the ad read

1390
01:01:07.980 –> 01:01:10.260
and the previously on Letter Kenny

1391
01:01:10.260 –> 01:01:13.780
and we wanted to hit all the format.

1392
01:01:13.840 –> 01:01:16.440
And you circle back to it at the end too.

1393
01:01:17.020 –> 01:01:17.700
Yeah, it was great.

1394
01:01:17.700 –> 01:01:21.500
No, I think we started chatting

1395
01:01:21.500 –> 01:01:23.940
and then like 10 minutes

1396
01:01:23.940 –> 01:01:26.660
into the first production strategy meeting.

1397
01:01:26.880 –> 01:01:29.500
I’m like, we just need to lean in

1398
01:01:29.500 –> 01:01:32.380
and just fully do an episode

1399
01:01:32.380 –> 01:01:36.060
and it just kind of took off after that.

1400
01:01:36.420 –> 01:01:38.760
Like we were all so committed.

1401
01:01:39.000 –> 01:01:39.560
Yeah, you were.

1402
01:01:39.940 –> 01:01:41.200
And Trace, you were the one who said,

1403
01:01:41.440 –> 01:01:43.060
well, there’s a template.

1404
01:01:43.080 –> 01:01:44.100
There’s a format here.

1405
01:01:44.200 –> 01:01:45.360
And I said, awesome.

1406
01:01:45.480 –> 01:01:47.320
Don’t we have the ladies night script?

1407
01:01:47.800 –> 01:01:48.280
Yep.

1408
01:01:48.320 –> 01:01:51.380
And so that awesome family to the natives length script.

1409
01:01:51.440 –> 01:01:52.960
And so we just pulled from that

1410
01:01:52.960 –> 01:01:54.960
because that was something we’d already done.

1411
01:01:54.980 –> 01:01:55.920
And I literally like.

1412
01:01:56.700 –> 01:01:57.740
And that was only for March.

1413
01:01:57.740 –> 01:01:58.900
It was really recent.

1414
01:01:58.900 –> 01:02:01.300
It was so easy to do.

1415
01:02:01.500 –> 01:02:04.980
For me, I know I don’t want to sound like a crazy woman

1416
01:02:04.980 –> 01:02:07.980
but it was very, it wasn’t that difficult.

1417
01:02:07.980 –> 01:02:09.840
I have the skills and the experience

1418
01:02:09.840 –> 01:02:12.360
and I could just see that there’s a template here.

1419
01:02:12.400 –> 01:02:13.680
It doesn’t require a lot of thought.

1420
01:02:13.840 –> 01:02:14.700
Trace is absolutely right.

1421
01:02:14.720 –> 01:02:17.680
Let’s cut and paste and then do these things.

1422
01:02:17.740 –> 01:02:19.300
Well, I appreciate it.

1423
01:02:19.300 –> 01:02:20.760
I appreciate every second of it.

1424
01:02:21.020 –> 01:02:23.320
Like when you said there are other podcasts out there

1425
01:02:23.320 –> 01:02:26.840
but this one, like when you hit all of the

1426
01:02:26.840 –> 01:02:29.540
the 10 posts or whatever, the beats

1427
01:02:29.540 –> 01:02:30.760
of whatever you want to call them.

1428
01:02:31.040 –> 01:02:33.600
And I’m like, wow, I didn’t know

1429
01:02:33.600 –> 01:02:35.000
whether you had a script to go from

1430
01:02:35.000 –> 01:02:37.420
or you were just going from memory or whatever

1431
01:02:37.420 –> 01:02:38.380
but you did it.

1432
01:02:38.460 –> 01:02:39.300
You killed it.

1433
01:02:39.500 –> 01:02:39.760
Bravo.

1434
01:02:40.240 –> 01:02:42.860
It felt cohesive and connected to the show.

1435
01:02:43.020 –> 01:02:43.420
Yeah.

1436
01:02:43.720 –> 01:02:46.180
And you accomplished that in spades.

1437
01:02:46.860 –> 01:02:49.800
So we worked very hard to make it not sound

1438
01:02:49.800 –> 01:02:52.100
like it was as planned as it was.

1439
01:02:52.380 –> 01:02:53.980
No, but hold on.

1440
01:02:54.040 –> 01:02:55.260
And then there’s the other thing that I mean

1441
01:02:55.260 –> 01:02:56.840
I love the little surprises.

1442
01:02:57.520 –> 01:02:59.660
So imagine when I turn on episode two

1443
01:02:59.660 –> 01:03:02.400
and it kicks off with this DJ Snake remix.

1444
01:03:02.420 –> 01:03:03.520
Oh, I love that.

1445
01:03:03.920 –> 01:03:04.880
Oh, I fucking love that.

1446
01:03:04.880 –> 01:03:06.000
I’m like dancing on my,

1447
01:03:06.140 –> 01:03:07.680
I have my headphones on in my kitchen doing dishes.

1448
01:03:07.840 –> 01:03:08.660
I’m like, what?

1449
01:03:09.560 –> 01:03:11.620
So he’s been in contact.

1450
01:03:11.620 –> 01:03:13.780
He’s been in contact with me on Instagram

1451
01:03:13.780 –> 01:03:15.340
sharing with me all these things

1452
01:03:15.340 –> 01:03:17.540
and he shared that song with me.

1453
01:03:17.640 –> 01:03:19.020
I’m like, wow, brilliantly done.

1454
01:03:19.800 –> 01:03:22.820
And the person, I forget his name.

1455
01:03:23.000 –> 01:03:24.060
DJ Solo.

1456
01:03:24.480 –> 01:03:24.720
Yeah, DJ Solo.

1457
01:03:24.720 –> 01:03:26.100
Yeah, it’s Gary Johnson.

1458
01:03:27.520 –> 01:03:28.060
Oh, right.

1459
01:03:28.340 –> 01:03:30.800
The guy who cut that part, right?

1460
01:03:31.160 –> 01:03:33.040
But I’m like, I’m referencing the original,

1461
01:03:33.060 –> 01:03:34.800
but yeah, like it was so well done.

1462
01:03:34.940 –> 01:03:35.700
I’m like, what is this?

1463
01:03:35.760 –> 01:03:36.880
I’m like, this is amazing.

1464
01:03:37.300 –> 01:03:39.420
Yeah, but he shared that with me a while ago.

1465
01:03:39.500 –> 01:03:40.120
I’m like, oh man,

1466
01:03:40.500 –> 01:03:44.560
trying to think of a way to incorporate it over.

1467
01:03:45.120 –> 01:03:46.580
Man, we’re going to get sued.

1468
01:03:46.960 –> 01:03:48.620
That’s what I was worried about.

1469
01:03:48.920 –> 01:03:50.140
I’m like, uh-oh.

1470
01:03:50.340 –> 01:03:52.480
I edited it in at the end of two.

1471
01:03:52.480 –> 01:03:56.600
I recorded that the next day to mention him.

1472
01:03:57.180 –> 01:03:58.580
Yeah, because it was great.

1473
01:03:58.620 –> 01:04:00.460
It was great that you gave him credit for it

1474
01:04:00.460 –> 01:04:01.640
because he did send it to me

1475
01:04:01.640 –> 01:04:03.320
and I was trying to figure out a way

1476
01:04:03.320 –> 01:04:04.880
that we could use it somehow

1477
01:04:04.880 –> 01:04:05.960
and I didn’t know how

1478
01:04:05.960 –> 01:04:07.480
and it was perfect what you did

1479
01:04:07.480 –> 01:04:09.280
and for giving him credit for it.

1480
01:04:09.720 –> 01:04:10.680
I’m sorry, say the name again.

1481
01:04:10.720 –> 01:04:11.840
Who was the guy who did the cut?

1482
01:04:12.380 –> 01:04:16.100
His handle is at gjsolo.

1483
01:04:16.240 –> 01:04:17.720
His name is Gary Johnson.

1484
01:04:19.600 –> 01:04:20.960
That’s his handle on TikTok.

1485
01:04:21.140 –> 01:04:22.160
That’s what he shared.

1486
01:04:22.160 –> 01:04:24.120
I think that’s what he shared on Twitter

1487
01:04:24.120 –> 01:04:25.380
was the TikTok link.

1488
01:04:25.660 –> 01:04:27.140
And his handle on Reddit

1489
01:04:28.000 –> 01:04:31.440
is you forward slash the real Gary Johnson.

1490
01:04:31.560 –> 01:04:33.400
Yeah, so everybody go check him out

1491
01:04:33.400 –> 01:04:35.620
and play that thing a bunch of times.

1492
01:04:35.620 –> 01:04:36.160
Yeah, it’s great.

1493
01:04:36.540 –> 01:04:38.640
And he’s already gotten a lot of…

1494
01:04:38.640 –> 01:04:40.420
I said it last week, but the echoes,

1495
01:04:40.600 –> 01:04:42.140
they just get me every time.

1496
01:04:42.360 –> 01:04:42.540
They do.

1497
01:04:42.540 –> 01:04:44.900
And the video, the way he cut it

1498
01:04:44.900 –> 01:04:47.920
like over the video of that brawl in the hallway

1499
01:04:47.920 –> 01:04:50.000
is just perfectly done.

1500
01:04:50.000 –> 01:04:52.860
Yeah, I think it was kind of fun though

1501
01:04:52.860 –> 01:04:53.640
for that second one.

1502
01:04:54.420 –> 01:04:55.720
We listened to the first,

1503
01:04:55.780 –> 01:04:57.640
we were able to kind of figure out

1504
01:04:57.640 –> 01:05:00.880
what was what and then go with it.

1505
01:05:01.060 –> 01:05:03.320
That song, we knew there were things

1506
01:05:03.320 –> 01:05:04.360
that we had to put in there.

1507
01:05:04.500 –> 01:05:05.700
We wanted to try something new,

1508
01:05:06.020 –> 01:05:06.920
throw a little bit in there,

1509
01:05:07.700 –> 01:05:08.700
but it was fun.

1510
01:05:08.740 –> 01:05:09.980
It was just fun planning.

1511
01:05:12.200 –> 01:05:15.120
I want to say I think the instant feedback

1512
01:05:15.120 –> 01:05:17.620
that we got from the after party

1513
01:05:17.620 –> 01:05:19.720
after the first takeover

1514
01:05:20.000 –> 01:05:22.260
was fucking gold, man.

1515
01:05:22.300 –> 01:05:23.920
Like, we really…

1516
01:05:24.700 –> 01:05:26.580
It was a litmus test, you know,

1517
01:05:26.580 –> 01:05:28.020
and we found out what worked

1518
01:05:28.020 –> 01:05:29.660
and what didn’t instantly.

1519
01:05:30.580 –> 01:05:31.060
And it was…

1520
01:05:31.060 –> 01:05:32.460
Because we totally sprung it on everybody.

1521
01:05:32.980 –> 01:05:34.060
Oh, yeah, we didn’t tell anybody.

1522
01:05:34.180 –> 01:05:34.480
We know.

1523
01:05:34.560 –> 01:05:38.520
I love how Chad, how Chad in the first one.

1524
01:05:38.520 –> 01:05:40.020
Oh, my God.

1525
01:05:40.620 –> 01:05:42.880
Chad was like, uh, what?

1526
01:05:45.380 –> 01:05:48.840
He thought he was just joining an after party.

1527
01:05:49.560 –> 01:05:50.040
Mandalorian?

1528
01:05:51.900 –> 01:05:53.400
That was even better.

1529
01:05:53.520 –> 01:05:54.960
That just added to the whole excitement

1530
01:05:54.960 –> 01:05:57.820
where you didn’t know where he is right now.

1531
01:05:58.140 –> 01:05:59.220
Welcome to the show, guys.

1532
01:05:59.340 –> 01:06:00.660
It’s like Trevor Risk all over again.

1533
01:06:02.500 –> 01:06:04.740
Stop rubbing your face in that.

1534
01:06:05.900 –> 01:06:07.240
I have apologized.

1535
01:06:08.120 –> 01:06:08.780
I know, I know.

1536
01:06:09.020 –> 01:06:10.320
I had to do it.

1537
01:06:11.880 –> 01:06:12.340
It’s all good.

1538
01:06:12.600 –> 01:06:13.360
Well, like I said,

1539
01:06:13.420 –> 01:06:14.580
you guys are more than welcome

1540
01:06:14.580 –> 01:06:16.960
to do that again whenever you want.

1541
01:06:17.000 –> 01:06:18.260
And I will post it

1542
01:06:18.260 –> 01:06:19.180
because you did a great job.

1543
01:06:19.400 –> 01:06:22.640
And we can be as involved or not involved at all.

1544
01:06:22.860 –> 01:06:23.520
Let us know.

1545
01:06:24.380 –> 01:06:26.340
And we’ll do whatever we want,

1546
01:06:26.440 –> 01:06:27.720
whatever we can to support it

1547
01:06:27.720 –> 01:06:28.620
because it was a lot of fun.

1548
01:06:28.880 –> 01:06:31.620
And I think it’s also a nice kind of change

1549
01:06:31.620 –> 01:06:35.340
in tempo and break in format every once in a while

1550
01:06:35.340 –> 01:06:36.260
to do something different.

1551
01:06:36.620 –> 01:06:39.960
So this is the first time in two fucking years

1552
01:06:39.960 –> 01:06:42.060
you guys have had a fucking break.

1553
01:06:42.080 –> 01:06:43.100
It’s true, yeah.

1554
01:06:44.580 –> 01:06:46.680
Y’all don’t miss weeks.

1555
01:06:46.800 –> 01:06:47.600
I know, it’s great.

1556
01:06:47.600 –> 01:06:49.180
When I think back, it is insane.

1557
01:06:49.340 –> 01:06:51.160
And I think I said, I’ve said this before,

1558
01:06:51.280 –> 01:06:53.360
I’ve missed more time at my paying job

1559
01:06:53.360 –> 01:06:54.700
than I have at this podcast.

1560
01:06:55.060 –> 01:06:59.540
Like it’s been, it’s crazy how dedicated maybe,

1561
01:06:59.940 –> 01:07:02.620
or committed, psychotic, psychotic.

1562
01:07:02.940 –> 01:07:05.460
I have only taken like two nights off

1563
01:07:06.080 –> 01:07:08.000
as a mod on our Letter Kennedy

1564
01:07:08.000 –> 01:07:09.720
since I became a mod.

1565
01:07:10.320 –> 01:07:12.740
But like you live where you love, right?

1566
01:07:13.240 –> 01:07:16.620
So like that’s, this is where your passion is.

1567
01:07:16.620 –> 01:07:19.780
This is where you’re putting your attention

1568
01:07:19.780 –> 01:07:22.840
and your care and your effort.

1569
01:07:24.760 –> 01:07:29.000
So, well, yeah, it’s rewarding work in and of itself.

1570
01:07:29.200 –> 01:07:30.860
It’s still labor and you still

1571
01:07:30.860 –> 01:07:32.600
need to take a break occasionally.

1572
01:07:33.400 –> 01:07:35.620
And when you need a break,

1573
01:07:36.160 –> 01:07:39.280
it’s nice to know that you can like rely

1574
01:07:39.280 –> 01:07:42.340
on your community to self-police

1575
01:07:42.340 –> 01:07:44.540
and take over and pick up the slack.

1576
01:07:44.540 –> 01:07:48.640
Because you can’t be like going hard 100% of the time.

1577
01:07:48.920 –> 01:07:49.580
No, you’re right.

1578
01:07:49.680 –> 01:07:51.220
And I was getting a little burnt out,

1579
01:07:51.220 –> 01:07:52.600
mostly from the day job.

1580
01:07:52.740 –> 01:07:54.440
This is still fun for me.

1581
01:07:54.640 –> 01:07:57.280
But yeah, it’s always, there’s always a bit of a rush

1582
01:07:57.280 –> 01:08:00.080
going, oh, oh man, I gotta get this done

1583
01:08:00.080 –> 01:08:01.400
before we record Thursday.

1584
01:08:02.080 –> 01:08:04.180
And, you know, so there is maybe

1585
01:08:04.180 –> 01:08:06.660
a little bit of stress involved, but not a whole lot.

1586
01:08:07.100 –> 01:08:08.340
Mostly from my day job.

1587
01:08:08.760 –> 01:08:09.720
But I will say this, Marcial.

1588
01:08:11.280 –> 01:08:11.780
Two things.

1589
01:08:11.780 –> 01:08:16.000
First of all, you’ve made the easiest road map

1590
01:08:16.000 –> 01:08:18.420
in the world to read to do this show.

1591
01:08:18.979 –> 01:08:23.020
I mean, it’s, I mean, people can, you know,

1592
01:08:23.460 –> 01:08:25.460
I’ve never actually heard anybody call it formulaic,

1593
01:08:25.460 –> 01:08:26.899
but I mean, it’s got a format

1594
01:08:26.899 –> 01:08:28.240
and that’s why it works.

1595
01:08:28.319 –> 01:08:30.620
And you sit there going, oh, all we got to do

1596
01:08:30.620 –> 01:08:32.180
is just follow the breadcrumbs Al left.

1597
01:08:32.200 –> 01:08:34.939
And this is, it almost takes care of itself.

1598
01:08:35.279 –> 01:08:35.819
Well, I appreciate it.

1599
01:08:35.819 –> 01:08:38.640
It’s out of necessity because I can’t be creating

1600
01:08:39.220 –> 01:08:41.060
like brand new content every week

1601
01:08:41.060 –> 01:08:42.279
if I didn’t have like.

1602
01:08:42.279 –> 01:08:44.240
Yeah, who needs to reinvent the wheel?

1603
01:08:45.060 –> 01:08:45.600
Yeah, I mean.

1604
01:08:46.020 –> 01:08:47.979
But also there’s a thing,

1605
01:08:48.160 –> 01:08:51.200
there’s something to be said about the ability

1606
01:08:51.200 –> 01:08:54.540
to set expectations for unexpected things.

1607
01:08:54.540 –> 01:08:57.380
So you have this framework in which your listeners

1608
01:08:58.020 –> 01:08:59.939
have these expectations, like comfortable.

1609
01:09:00.120 –> 01:09:02.080
It’s like those, like the old shows

1610
01:09:02.080 –> 01:09:05.000
that everybody gather around the radio for, you know.

1611
01:09:05.000 –> 01:09:07.939
Yeah, you know what beats you’re gonna hit

1612
01:09:07.939 –> 01:09:10.660
and it’s familiar, so it’s comforting.

1613
01:09:10.660 –> 01:09:12.720
With all that said, though,

1614
01:09:13.060 –> 01:09:16.720
Matt, Victor and I still have difficulty sometimes

1615
01:09:17.200 –> 01:09:19.460
remembering what comes next.

1616
01:09:20.340 –> 01:09:22.240
Well, it’s like muscle memory, right?

1617
01:09:23.319 –> 01:09:25.600
We’re like driving to a place that you go all the time

1618
01:09:25.600 –> 01:09:27.380
and then somebody asks you for directions

1619
01:09:27.380 –> 01:09:29.819
and your brain just like fucking stalls out.

1620
01:09:29.960 –> 01:09:32.359
It should come as no surprise to any of our listeners

1621
01:09:32.359 –> 01:09:34.300
that our listeners pay more attention

1622
01:09:34.300 –> 01:09:36.680
than my co-hosts do to this podcast.

1623
01:09:36.700 –> 01:09:38.160
I’m fully aware of it.

1624
01:09:38.160 –> 01:09:38.800
Wait a second.

1625
01:09:38.800 –> 01:09:40.279
I’m a fucking liar.

1626
01:09:40.500 –> 01:09:42.920
Why are Matt and my name being brought into this?

1627
01:09:42.920 –> 01:09:44.160
I haven’t said your name.

1628
01:09:44.399 –> 01:09:45.600
I’ve just inferred it

1629
01:09:45.600 –> 01:09:48.080
and you’re the one who just brought it up.

1630
01:09:48.279 –> 01:09:50.100
Anyway, Matt, the second thing.

1631
01:09:50.260 –> 01:09:50.960
Yeah, try it, Trace.

1632
01:09:50.960 –> 01:09:51.779
You had a second thing.

1633
01:09:52.120 –> 01:09:53.439
The second thing I was gonna say is,

1634
01:09:55.280 –> 01:09:56.980
and I realize you probably got,

1635
01:09:57.180 –> 01:09:58.600
you know, you’re dialed into this

1636
01:09:58.600 –> 01:09:59.660
and you created this.

1637
01:10:00.180 –> 01:10:01.460
This is hard.

1638
01:10:02.680 –> 01:10:05.140
This is, I mean, it’s rewarding,

1639
01:10:05.380 –> 01:10:07.380
but it’s a lot of work.

1640
01:10:08.080 –> 01:10:11.720
I mean, I’ve never not given you credit for it,

1641
01:10:12.920 –> 01:10:14.820
but oh my God, on this end of it,

1642
01:10:14.820 –> 01:10:17.820
it’s like he does this every freaking week.

1643
01:10:18.620 –> 01:10:21.480
Yeah, it was really nice to not have to like,

1644
01:10:21.600 –> 01:10:22.520
I mean, I love our doc.

1645
01:10:22.660 –> 01:10:23.440
I love what we’ve done,

1646
01:10:23.440 –> 01:10:25.660
but like it was so nice after Friday

1647
01:10:25.660 –> 01:10:26.380
where I was just like,

1648
01:10:27.300 –> 01:10:28.580
I don’t have to think of new things.

1649
01:10:31.780 –> 01:10:34.000
Well, how do you think I feel we’re now in the off season

1650
01:10:34.000 –> 01:10:35.880
and I’m looking for people to give me ideas

1651
01:10:35.880 –> 01:10:37.160
because this is the hard part.

1652
01:10:37.160 –> 01:10:39.060
When we’re during a season,

1653
01:10:39.100 –> 01:10:40.980
it’s easy because it’s like on Monday,

1654
01:10:41.180 –> 01:10:42.500
we watch the show.

1655
01:10:42.860 –> 01:10:44.580
On Tuesday, I write the script.

1656
01:10:44.700 –> 01:10:46.820
On Wednesday, I’ll pull the quotes

1657
01:10:46.820 –> 01:10:48.780
and on Thursday, we record.

1658
01:10:49.480 –> 01:10:51.380
Also Wednesday, you remind us to watch the show.

1659
01:10:52.280 –> 01:10:52.660
Exactly.

1660
01:10:53.640 –> 01:10:55.120
But yeah, now that we’re off season,

1661
01:10:55.280 –> 01:10:56.280
it’s like, well, what are we gonna do?

1662
01:10:56.440 –> 01:10:57.840
Like, what are we gonna do to fill the time?

1663
01:10:58.040 –> 01:11:00.000
I don’t mind taking a week off here or there.

1664
01:11:00.060 –> 01:11:02.520
I’d rather not because then we get out of rhythm

1665
01:11:02.980 –> 01:11:05.460
and as long as we have something fun to do,

1666
01:11:05.920 –> 01:11:07.140
we’ll just keep doing it, right?

1667
01:11:07.140 –> 01:11:10.740
Like today, this was kind of thrown together last minute

1668
01:11:12.680 –> 01:11:14.700
because what was planned for this week,

1669
01:11:14.900 –> 01:11:16.120
I didn’t have time for it

1670
01:11:16.120 –> 01:11:17.400
because when we got back from vacation,

1671
01:11:17.420 –> 01:11:18.720
I had a bunch of work to do.

1672
01:11:19.340 –> 01:11:20.340
So the fact that we did this

1673
01:11:20.340 –> 01:11:23.720
and I really appreciate you guys coming on

1674
01:11:23.720 –> 01:11:24.880
kind of last minute and Aaron,

1675
01:11:25.020 –> 01:11:27.220
especially you because you’re still on the road on vacation

1676
01:11:27.220 –> 01:11:28.660
that you were able to join us.

1677
01:11:29.560 –> 01:11:30.600
Very happy to be here.

1678
01:11:30.720 –> 01:11:32.720
But I have two more six-hour drives

1679
01:11:32.720 –> 01:11:34.400
so if I come up with anything else, I’ll send you.

1680
01:11:34.400 –> 01:11:36.020
Yes, please, send it along.

1681
01:11:36.020 –> 01:11:41.480
Anyone who’s listening, anyone who’s listening to this,

1682
01:11:41.480 –> 01:11:43.760
DM me if you have an idea for an episode

1683
01:11:43.760 –> 01:11:45.620
and if I like it, we’ll work it out

1684
01:11:45.620 –> 01:11:48.620
because until we get season 11

1685
01:11:48.620 –> 01:11:51.020
or we find out about Shorzy season two.

1686
01:11:51.460 –> 01:11:52.320
Or we go to Sudbury.

1687
01:11:52.960 –> 01:11:54.180
Or Tanya wants to go to Sudbury.

1688
01:11:54.520 –> 01:11:56.260
So we might be doing that.

1689
01:11:58.420 –> 01:12:01.340
We’re gonna do a lot of vamping for the next few months.

1690
01:12:01.840 –> 01:12:02.860
So just don’t take an RV.

1691
01:12:03.280 –> 01:12:05.600
I know butter cups.

1692
01:12:05.600 –> 01:12:09.320
This is why I’m really pushing hard

1693
01:12:09.320 –> 01:12:10.820
for the Dawn Sherry mini-series

1694
01:12:10.820 –> 01:12:13.840
because just in terms of like minutes of material,

1695
01:12:13.900 –> 01:12:16.260
you’ve got enough for like 12 weeks.

1696
01:12:16.380 –> 01:12:17.780
Yeah, I mean, I haven’t said no to that.

1697
01:12:17.880 –> 01:12:19.960
I think we can probably do something around that.

1698
01:12:20.440 –> 01:12:21.520
I mean, Victor and I have already seen.

1699
01:12:21.520 –> 01:12:22.980
It’s impossible to find it anywhere now.

1700
01:12:22.980 –> 01:12:24.220
I’ve seen it a couple of times.

1701
01:12:24.220 –> 01:12:25.320
I have the files.

1702
01:12:25.380 –> 01:12:27.320
I will give them to you.

1703
01:12:27.340 –> 01:12:27.840
There you go.

1704
01:12:27.960 –> 01:12:28.440
All right.

1705
01:12:28.540 –> 01:12:29.120
What are we doing?

1706
01:12:32.340 –> 01:12:33.920
I thought you said you’re paying attention.

1707
01:12:33.920 –> 01:12:36.460
But that was just kind of…

1708
01:12:36.460 –> 01:12:36.800
We’ll talk about that.

1709
01:12:36.800 –> 01:12:37.580
That came out of nowhere.

1710
01:12:37.800 –> 01:12:39.580
All of a sudden, Dawn Sherry came up and…

1711
01:12:39.580 –> 01:12:40.340
It did not.

1712
01:12:40.400 –> 01:12:42.440
I’ve been suggesting this for months.

1713
01:12:42.480 –> 01:12:43.740
Stan, what has happened?

1714
01:12:44.740 –> 01:12:47.020
Anyway, speaking of my script here,

1715
01:12:47.040 –> 01:12:49.760
I’m just gonna go on to the next few things here.

1716
01:12:50.020 –> 01:12:51.580
So about the cold open bracket,

1717
01:12:52.460 –> 01:12:53.180
we still have…

1718
01:12:53.580 –> 01:12:54.200
What is it?

1719
01:12:54.220 –> 01:12:55.600
The round of eight to do.

1720
01:12:56.680 –> 01:12:58.800
Trace sent me his files.

1721
01:12:59.040 –> 01:13:00.260
I still have to produce those.

1722
01:13:00.440 –> 01:13:02.220
So I’m hoping next week we pick that up

1723
01:13:02.220 –> 01:13:04.220
so we can finish off the round of eight.

1724
01:13:05.520 –> 01:13:06.860
We have some listener comments.

1725
01:13:07.160 –> 01:13:09.440
We have some iTunes reviews.

1726
01:13:10.040 –> 01:13:11.560
Great group of DGENs.

1727
01:13:11.680 –> 01:13:14.100
I look forward to listening to the produce stand every week.

1728
01:13:14.320 –> 01:13:16.900
They discuss Life, Letter Kenny, and now Shorzy.

1729
01:13:17.180 –> 01:13:19.320
And that’s from our friend, dear friend, Miriam.

1730
01:13:19.420 –> 01:13:22.040
Thank you so much, Miriam, for the five-star review.

1731
01:13:22.440 –> 01:13:23.860
Another five-star review here.

1732
01:13:24.020 –> 01:13:26.160
Victor, MVP, five stars.

1733
01:13:26.420 –> 01:13:28.240
I still play Victor’s MVP

1734
01:13:28.240 –> 01:13:30.520
and get one right every once in a while.

1735
01:13:30.520 –> 01:13:33.380
And that’s from Jason Eichard, our buddy, Jason.

1736
01:13:33.640 –> 01:13:34.620
Thank you so much.

1737
01:13:36.340 –> 01:13:38.840
So that’s from a couple of the DMD GENs.

1738
01:13:38.920 –> 01:13:41.120
But here’s from somebody who we don’t know yet.

1739
01:13:41.280 –> 01:13:43.540
Hey, at produce stand pod, I’m a new listener

1740
01:13:43.540 –> 01:13:44.980
and have to commend you on the pod.

1741
01:13:45.260 –> 01:13:46.120
Just started listening.

1742
01:13:46.260 –> 01:13:47.260
Just started at the beginning

1743
01:13:47.260 –> 01:13:49.380
and thoroughly enjoying your takes on the show.

1744
01:13:49.740 –> 01:13:50.100
Having fun.

1745
01:13:51.360 –> 01:13:53.660
Having found it in the early pandemic days,

1746
01:13:53.680 –> 01:13:54.860
it quickly became a favorite.

1747
01:13:55.640 –> 01:13:56.360
Thank you so much.

1748
01:13:56.520 –> 01:13:58.800
That’s from Shannon’s Horror.

1749
01:13:58.800 –> 01:14:00.940
Shannon, Shannon.

1750
01:14:01.020 –> 01:14:03.540
Anyway, I’m not sure what the rest of her name means there.

1751
01:14:03.620 –> 01:14:05.980
There’s like a heart and then apostrophe as horror.

1752
01:14:06.160 –> 01:14:08.340
So thank you, Shannon, for the kind words.

1753
01:14:09.460 –> 01:14:10.760
Shannon loves horror.

1754
01:14:10.820 –> 01:14:11.820
Oh, maybe that’s what I mean.

1755
01:14:11.820 –> 01:14:12.660
Shannon loves horror.

1756
01:14:12.740 –> 01:14:13.800
There you go.

1757
01:14:14.920 –> 01:14:15.520
Good on you, Shannon.

1758
01:14:15.520 –> 01:14:16.400
What are you, new?

1759
01:14:16.520 –> 01:14:18.620
I was never put the heart together.

1760
01:14:18.660 –> 01:14:20.580
I’ll give myself a blue spatula.

1761
01:14:22.060 –> 01:14:24.580
Now we have a bunch of…

1762
01:14:24.580 –> 01:14:25.240
Thank you, Casey.

1763
01:14:25.720 –> 01:14:26.020
Shake your tits.

1764
01:14:26.020 –> 01:14:29.180
She’s wearing the one and only blue spatula t-shirt

1765
01:14:29.180 –> 01:14:30.780
and Casey owns it.

1766
01:14:30.920 –> 01:14:32.380
Thank you so much.

1767
01:14:32.400 –> 01:14:33.420
It’s a limited edition.

1768
01:14:34.040 –> 01:14:35.060
In the last few weeks,

1769
01:14:35.340 –> 01:14:36.620
there’s been a surprisingly,

1770
01:14:36.940 –> 01:14:39.080
a surprising amount of letter Kenny news.

1771
01:14:39.300 –> 01:14:41.600
We’ll start with the serious stuff first.

1772
01:14:42.880 –> 01:14:44.320
And Tanya, I don’t think you’ve heard about this.

1773
01:14:44.560 –> 01:14:45.100
Actually, I did.

1774
01:14:45.460 –> 01:14:45.900
Oh, okay.

1775
01:14:46.100 –> 01:14:48.600
Do you want me to go over that?

1776
01:14:48.960 –> 01:14:49.720
Because like…

1777
01:14:49.720 –> 01:14:53.360
Well, I was just going to read the original story.

1778
01:14:53.360 –> 01:14:56.880
If you have an update, you can let us in on that, okay?

1779
01:14:57.280 –> 01:14:57.720
Okay, yeah.

1780
01:14:57.720 –> 01:14:58.480
You go first then.

1781
01:14:58.700 –> 01:15:00.400
So on Sunday, July 4th…

1782
01:15:01.480 –> 01:15:07.700
This is something that was written on Kalani Rose’s Instagram.

1783
01:15:07.700 –> 01:15:08.180
Instagram.

1784
01:15:08.460 –> 01:15:11.000
On Sunday, July 4th, in an act of senseless violence,

1785
01:15:11.200 –> 01:15:14.480
Kalani Rose, who plays Miig on Shorsie,

1786
01:15:14.660 –> 01:15:16.340
was shot in the chest by a bullet.

1787
01:15:16.640 –> 01:15:19.480
She was getting dropped off at her apartment in Los Angeles

1788
01:15:19.480 –> 01:15:21.420
by her close friend Prince,

1789
01:15:21.420 –> 01:15:23.720
when two individuals randomly fired a pistol

1790
01:15:23.720 –> 01:15:25.580
through the driver’s side window of his car.

1791
01:15:26.500 –> 01:15:29.060
Kalani was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital

1792
01:15:29.060 –> 01:15:31.920
and given immediate emergency care for fractured ribs

1793
01:15:31.920 –> 01:15:33.880
and a punctured, collapsed right lung.

1794
01:15:34.280 –> 01:15:36.240
After two blood transfusions and surgery,

1795
01:15:36.300 –> 01:15:37.880
they were able to begin draining the blood

1796
01:15:37.880 –> 01:15:39.520
from her lung and chest cavity.

1797
01:15:39.620 –> 01:15:42.260
She was transferred to ICU for acute care.

1798
01:15:42.760 –> 01:15:44.640
Miraculously, her condition stabilized.

1799
01:15:44.980 –> 01:15:47.860
She remained on oxygen for the days to follow

1800
01:15:47.860 –> 01:15:49.420
and breathing was only made possible

1801
01:15:49.420 –> 01:15:50.960
with the help of an epidural.

1802
01:15:50.960 –> 01:15:53.160
Soon after, a second surgery was performed

1803
01:15:53.160 –> 01:15:54.920
to remove the remains of the bullet from her back.

1804
01:15:55.280 –> 01:15:57.160
Following weeks of challenging work and recovery,

1805
01:15:57.480 –> 01:15:59.820
Kalani has the strength to walk again.

1806
01:16:00.020 –> 01:16:01.500
Her breathing is getting better daily.

1807
01:16:01.620 –> 01:16:04.180
We’re expecting full physical recovery by three months.

1808
01:16:04.420 –> 01:16:06.600
Please help our K-bird get her wings back.

1809
01:16:08.220 –> 01:16:10.720
So, you know, shocking, horrible news.

1810
01:16:10.800 –> 01:16:13.140
We only found out about this about a week ago.

1811
01:16:13.280 –> 01:16:14.260
Awesome, I would say.

1812
01:16:14.340 –> 01:16:15.320
It was kind of made public.

1813
01:16:16.860 –> 01:16:18.400
No, three days ago.

1814
01:16:18.560 –> 01:16:19.960
Oh, yeah, well, less than a week ago, yeah.

1815
01:16:20.680 –> 01:16:23.360
They started started a GoFunding campaign

1816
01:16:23.360 –> 01:16:25.340
because this happened in the U.S.

1817
01:16:25.920 –> 01:16:29.160
She’s got an $80,000 bill to pay America.

1818
01:16:29.180 –> 01:16:32.100
Yeah, and look, Cedars-Sinai is legitimately

1819
01:16:32.100 –> 01:16:35.660
one of the most expensive hospitals

1820
01:16:35.660 –> 01:16:38.440
in the entire fucking country.

1821
01:16:38.440 –> 01:16:38.780
Yeah.

1822
01:16:39.020 –> 01:16:39.500
Okay.

1823
01:16:39.960 –> 01:16:42.000
Yeah, one of the best, but one of the most,

1824
01:16:42.000 –> 01:16:42.900
it’s expensive.

1825
01:16:42.900 –> 01:16:45.680
Yeah, because it’s in Hollywood, California.

1826
01:16:46.040 –> 01:16:47.400
Well, I mean, and you would expect though,

1827
01:16:47.400 –> 01:16:48.700
if you’re paying for this, I mean,

1828
01:16:48.700 –> 01:16:52.980
the surgery, the recovery she’s had, it wasn’t multiple surgery.

1829
01:16:53.200 –> 01:16:55.340
It wasn’t going to be a Canadian citizen or U.S.

1830
01:16:55.340 –> 01:16:56.020
Yes, she’s Canadian.

1831
01:16:56.020 –> 01:16:58.600
So she’s now the latest.

1832
01:16:59.680 –> 01:17:00.880
Is she dual?

1833
01:17:01.640 –> 01:17:04.020
Yeah, because she’s also native Hawaiian.

1834
01:17:04.500 –> 01:17:05.520
Oh, there you go.

1835
01:17:05.660 –> 01:17:09.180
So, yeah, anyway, the latest update that I saw from her

1836
01:17:09.180 –> 01:17:11.840
and there’s actually a video of her saying thank you

1837
01:17:11.840 –> 01:17:14.980
because she’s had some great response to her GoFundMe,

1838
01:17:14.980 –> 01:17:19.220
but she’s back in Canada and up with her family

1839
01:17:19.220 –> 01:17:23.820
and wherever she lives in Northern Ontario.

1840
01:17:24.300 –> 01:17:24.520
In BC.

1841
01:17:24.700 –> 01:17:25.280
BC, I thought it was Ontario.

1842
01:17:25.320 –> 01:17:26.240
Oh, BC, okay.

1843
01:17:27.100 –> 01:17:28.180
So she’s with family.

1844
01:17:28.180 –> 01:17:29.900
She’s back in Canada and-

1845
01:17:29.900 –> 01:17:32.140
No, Prince George, excuse me, Prince George Island.

1846
01:17:32.380 –> 01:17:33.540
Oh, yeah, and recovering.

1847
01:17:33.900 –> 01:17:34.420
Wow.

1848
01:17:34.520 –> 01:17:36.100
But yeah, it was a scary moment

1849
01:17:36.100 –> 01:17:38.740
and she’s overwhelmed by all the support she’s been getting.

1850
01:17:39.460 –> 01:17:41.100
That’s the last I saw.

1851
01:17:41.420 –> 01:17:41.780
Awesome.

1852
01:17:41.840 –> 01:17:42.740
Was there anything else?

1853
01:17:43.220 –> 01:17:44.540
Yeah, no, that’s it.

1854
01:17:44.900 –> 01:17:48.440
She’s still not allowed to fly because the altitude

1855
01:17:48.440 –> 01:17:51.580
and the pressure, the cabin pressure in a plane

1856
01:17:51.580 –> 01:17:54.160
are detrimental to her recovery.

1857
01:17:54.240 –> 01:17:56.260
So she’s been going the slow way.

1858
01:17:57.620 –> 01:18:00.160
She’s, you know, obviously taken a boat

1859
01:18:00.160 –> 01:18:07.280
or no, obviously just driven up from LA to Canada.

1860
01:18:08.640 –> 01:18:12.000
And, you know, like with an injury like that,

1861
01:18:12.000 –> 01:18:15.360
especially in the area that it’s in,

1862
01:18:16.260 –> 01:18:19.440
recovery is so slow and so difficult

1863
01:18:19.440 –> 01:18:21.960
because your lung function is compromised,

1864
01:18:22.420 –> 01:18:24.560
your blood can’t be oxygenated,

1865
01:18:24.640 –> 01:18:26.640
so that slows the healing.

1866
01:18:27.940 –> 01:18:28.620
Wow.

1867
01:18:29.040 –> 01:18:30.160
Yeah, scary stuff.

1868
01:18:31.120 –> 01:18:33.320
It’s terrifying, to be honest.

1869
01:18:33.380 –> 01:18:35.700
And so, like, random, right?

1870
01:18:35.740 –> 01:18:37.280
Because it wasn’t-

1871
01:18:37.280 –> 01:18:37.760
Yeah.

1872
01:18:38.100 –> 01:18:40.320
She’s in the wrong place at the wrong time, I guess, right?

1873
01:18:40.320 –> 01:18:44.100
Yeah, there’s been no details or anything released

1874
01:18:44.100 –> 01:18:45.360
about the incident.

1875
01:18:45.580 –> 01:18:47.840
I don’t think there should be, necessarily.

1876
01:18:50.160 –> 01:18:56.220
Like, the GoFundMe blurb just says

1877
01:18:56.220 –> 01:18:58.760
it was the senseless act of violence and it was random.

1878
01:18:59.360 –> 01:19:01.700
And, you know, in certain parts of LA,

1879
01:19:02.360 –> 01:19:03.920
that has been known to happen.

1880
01:19:03.940 –> 01:19:06.200
It could have been accidental.

1881
01:19:06.200 –> 01:19:10.320
It could have been, you know, deliberate

1882
01:19:10.320 –> 01:19:12.400
because someone recognized her.

1883
01:19:12.620 –> 01:19:13.300
I don’t know.

1884
01:19:13.560 –> 01:19:14.480
Nobody knows.

1885
01:19:15.480 –> 01:19:20.600
I am choosing to just take the explanation

1886
01:19:20.960 –> 01:19:23.560
that we’ve been given at face value.

1887
01:19:24.400 –> 01:19:27.700
And, like, I reached out to New Metric

1888
01:19:28.720 –> 01:19:34.880
to when this first crossed my field of vision.

1889
01:19:35.780 –> 01:19:38.940
And I did get confirmation from the producers,

1890
01:19:39.260 –> 01:19:41.000
this is legitimate.

1891
01:19:41.880 –> 01:19:43.200
So that is-

1892
01:19:45.100 –> 01:19:49.440
I didn’t want to post something on the sub

1893
01:19:50.340 –> 01:19:53.580
that, you know, would later turn out to be-

1894
01:19:53.580 –> 01:19:54.640
A hoax or something.

1895
01:19:54.900 –> 01:19:54.980
Yeah.

1896
01:19:57.120 –> 01:19:59.480
So, like I said, I reached out to New Metric.

1897
01:20:00.340 –> 01:20:01.600
They did confirm it.

1898
01:20:03.260 –> 01:20:08.060
And so I have been just signal boosting since then.

1899
01:20:08.320 –> 01:20:08.380
Yeah.

1900
01:20:08.380 –> 01:20:09.260
So we all have.

1901
01:20:09.380 –> 01:20:11.780
I know Adrienne retweeted the GoFundMe.

1902
01:20:12.160 –> 01:20:15.280
And Lizard Kenny made a good point.

1903
01:20:15.500 –> 01:20:18.280
I will post the GoFundMe link in our show notes

1904
01:20:18.280 –> 01:20:19.380
for this episode.

1905
01:20:19.660 –> 01:20:21.560
So if anyone’s looking for that link,

1906
01:20:21.560 –> 01:20:23.060
it’ll be in the show notes.

1907
01:20:23.320 –> 01:20:26.660
So, I mean, she’s already gotten a lot

1908
01:20:26.660 –> 01:20:28.080
of really great support,

1909
01:20:28.080 –> 01:20:30.780
but she’s still got a long ways to go.

1910
01:20:30.780 –> 01:20:33.380
Being a Canadian actress for a Canadian show,

1911
01:20:34.620 –> 01:20:35.860
she’s not as known.

1912
01:20:36.440 –> 01:20:38.060
So it’s not as quick to get to-

1913
01:20:38.060 –> 01:20:39.920
I’m sure if she was an American actress

1914
01:20:39.920 –> 01:20:41.720
for a very popular show,

1915
01:20:41.840 –> 01:20:43.560
she would have hit her goal by now.

1916
01:20:43.960 –> 01:20:46.180
But anyway, we’re here to help.

1917
01:20:46.600 –> 01:20:49.460
So anyone who can help, give what they can,

1918
01:20:49.520 –> 01:20:50.120
that’d be great.

1919
01:20:50.560 –> 01:20:52.180
I threw some shuckles her way.

1920
01:20:52.760 –> 01:20:54.660
And I’ve noticed a few other people,

1921
01:20:55.020 –> 01:20:56.880
like a few other familiar names on the list

1922
01:20:57.560 –> 01:20:58.600
also donated.

1923
01:20:59.320 –> 01:21:00.460
So she’s well on her way.

1924
01:21:00.460 –> 01:21:04.120
And now she’s with family and friends back home.

1925
01:21:04.160 –> 01:21:05.960
So I think that’s going to help her with her recovery.

1926
01:21:06.200 –> 01:21:07.040
So scary.

1927
01:21:08.300 –> 01:21:11.160
If that was just a little bit further,

1928
01:21:11.820 –> 01:21:13.580
like a bit of a heart, right?

1929
01:21:14.000 –> 01:21:14.040
Yeah.

1930
01:21:14.100 –> 01:21:14.920
Good Lord.

1931
01:21:15.180 –> 01:21:15.680
Terrifying.

1932
01:21:15.880 –> 01:21:16.160
Wow.

1933
01:21:16.960 –> 01:21:19.420
Anyway, on happier news.

1934
01:21:21.080 –> 01:21:22.620
That is happy news.

1935
01:21:22.840 –> 01:21:23.300
She survived.

1936
01:21:23.320 –> 01:21:24.000
You’re right.

1937
01:21:24.240 –> 01:21:25.200
That is happy news.

1938
01:21:25.200 –> 01:21:27.860
She is expecting to make a full recovery.

1939
01:21:28.100 –> 01:21:29.400
And that’s a huge deal.

1940
01:21:29.400 –> 01:21:32.780
And now she’s surrounded with the support of her family

1941
01:21:32.780 –> 01:21:33.880
and her loved ones.

1942
01:21:34.940 –> 01:21:37.000
I apologize on behalf of America.

1943
01:21:37.200 –> 01:21:38.200
Thank God she’s alive.

1944
01:21:38.720 –> 01:21:40.540
But yeah, sorry it happened here

1945
01:21:40.540 –> 01:21:42.060
because this is the worst place we’ve had that happen.

1946
01:21:42.380 –> 01:21:43.860
On less serious news.

1947
01:21:43.920 –> 01:21:44.660
How about that?

1948
01:21:45.080 –> 01:21:47.140
So we’re hoping for a full recovery there.

1949
01:21:47.440 –> 01:21:48.760
And this isn’t really news,

1950
01:21:49.080 –> 01:21:50.640
but it’s kind of exciting

1951
01:21:50.640 –> 01:21:52.440
because the last time this happened,

1952
01:21:53.240 –> 01:21:55.680
there was exciting news that came soon after.

1953
01:21:56.120 –> 01:21:57.780
But on Sunday, this past Sunday,

1954
01:21:57.780 –> 01:22:00.200
Dani Ellis sent the following tweet.

1955
01:22:00.740 –> 01:22:01.740
Hello, everyone.

1956
01:22:02.340 –> 01:22:04.720
Tomorrow, I go back to my real job

1957
01:22:04.720 –> 01:22:06.320
on Letter Kenny for a few months.

1958
01:22:06.660 –> 01:22:08.260
This shouldn’t change streams too much,

1959
01:22:08.300 –> 01:22:10.440
except I might need to cancel on occasion

1960
01:22:11.060 –> 01:22:13.760
or move back down to just two times a week for a while.

1961
01:22:14.260 –> 01:22:16.040
But keep y’all posted.

1962
01:22:16.400 –> 01:22:17.400
And then later on,

1963
01:22:17.400 –> 01:22:20.660
she posted another tweet of a picture of her

1964
01:22:20.660 –> 01:22:22.540
in the Letter Kenny production studio

1965
01:22:22.540 –> 01:22:24.500
or in the production department,

1966
01:22:24.580 –> 01:22:27.440
wherever she works for the Letter Kenny show.

1967
01:22:27.440 –> 01:22:29.200
Last time she said this,

1968
01:22:29.260 –> 01:22:32.360
months later, they were shooting episodes 10 and 11.

1969
01:22:32.620 –> 01:22:35.340
So I don’t want to look too far into that

1970
01:22:35.340 –> 01:22:39.240
except to say maybe we’re going to get some news coming up

1971
01:22:39.240 –> 01:22:41.520
and maybe there’s going to be a winter shoot

1972
01:22:42.040 –> 01:22:43.960
for the next, for season 12

1973
01:22:43.960 –> 01:22:46.900
because we do know season 12 has been purchased

1974
01:22:48.100 –> 01:22:49.240
for Crave at least.

1975
01:22:49.400 –> 01:22:50.820
I’m assuming Ulu as well.

1976
01:22:51.400 –> 01:22:53.460
So there’s that to look forward to.

1977
01:22:54.160 –> 01:22:55.420
And when you couple that

1978
01:22:55.420 –> 01:22:57.820
with this news that came a week ago

1979
01:22:57.820 –> 01:22:59.880
or maybe just over a week ago,

1980
01:23:00.260 –> 01:23:02.040
there was a link to an article

1981
01:23:02.040 –> 01:23:04.520
and it was Letter Kenny’s studio-ized

1982
01:23:04.520 –> 01:23:07.180
three-year lease of Caprio Arena.

1983
01:23:08.100 –> 01:23:11.420
The otherwise unused first of two pads

1984
01:23:11.420 –> 01:23:14.540
at the Caprio Arena has been targeted for use

1985
01:23:14.540 –> 01:23:17.380
by Letter Kenny Get-er-Done Productions New Metric Media

1986
01:23:17.380 –> 01:23:20.620
as a film studio under a temporary three-year lease

1987
01:23:20.620 –> 01:23:22.480
with the City of Greater Sudbury.

1988
01:23:22.480 –> 01:23:23.240
That’s awesome.

1989
01:23:23.680 –> 01:23:24.220
Three-year lease.

1990
01:23:24.220 –> 01:23:26.260
The studio would be used to accommodate

1991
01:23:26.260 –> 01:23:28.220
filming of the television series Letter Kenny

1992
01:23:28.220 –> 01:23:30.060
and its spinoff series, Shorzy,

1993
01:23:30.360 –> 01:23:32.240
both of which have a history of filming

1994
01:23:32.240 –> 01:23:34.960
in Greater Sudbury and the Caprio Arena in specific.

1995
01:23:35.520 –> 01:23:37.400
Once their long-term lease is secured,

1996
01:23:37.540 –> 01:23:40.160
the Letter Kenny Get-er-Done Productions New Metric Media team

1997
01:23:40.160 –> 01:23:42.420
plans on building multiple standing sets

1998
01:23:42.420 –> 01:23:45.500
and storing sets and props on site.

1999
01:23:46.200 –> 01:23:46.720
Fantastic.

2000
01:23:47.240 –> 01:23:48.280
They’re in it to win it.

2001
01:23:48.900 –> 01:23:50.360
I mean, we haven’t heard yet

2002
01:23:50.360 –> 01:23:52.120
that Shorzy has been picked up,

2003
01:23:52.120 –> 01:23:55.720
but I mean, you know, this is as good as any news

2004
01:23:55.720 –> 01:23:57.500
that it’s going to happen, right?

2005
01:23:57.520 –> 01:23:58.920
So they’re negotiating with the…

2006
01:23:58.920 –> 01:24:01.120
So after this article, they said

2007
01:24:01.120 –> 01:24:02.540
the city is going to vote on it,

2008
01:24:02.680 –> 01:24:04.400
and there are a couple of people

2009
01:24:04.400 –> 01:24:05.920
who are like nimby people, you know,

2010
01:24:05.920 –> 01:24:06.780
not in my backyard.

2011
01:24:07.000 –> 01:24:08.420
Too many lights, too much noise.

2012
01:24:08.820 –> 01:24:10.140
There’s going to be a few of those people

2013
01:24:10.140 –> 01:24:12.080
for everything, but it looks like

2014
01:24:12.080 –> 01:24:13.420
the vote’s going to be in their favor.

2015
01:24:13.800 –> 01:24:15.420
Oh, fuck, and we need to get our Michelle

2016
01:24:15.420 –> 01:24:17.160
out there to that town hall meeting.

2017
01:24:17.440 –> 01:24:18.100
Hey, guys.

2018
01:24:18.320 –> 01:24:18.760
Hey, guys.

2019
01:24:18.920 –> 01:24:22.100
Is it just me, or does it seem like

2020
01:24:22.120 –> 01:24:24.000
they might have a Google Doc?

2021
01:24:24.900 –> 01:24:26.400
Of course they have a Google Doc.

2022
01:24:26.720 –> 01:24:27.200
Well, I think…

2023
01:24:27.200 –> 01:24:28.920
Oh, they definitely have a Google Doc.

2024
01:24:29.860 –> 01:24:31.080
I think they’ve got a Google Doc.

2025
01:24:31.080 –> 01:24:32.340
I think they’ve got a Duo Tang.

2026
01:24:32.440 –> 01:24:34.820
Trevor Risk, who says there’s no writer’s room.

2027
01:24:35.080 –> 01:24:36.620
Their scripts are written by Google Doc.

2028
01:24:36.620 –> 01:24:37.680
No, it’s all virtual.

2029
01:24:37.760 –> 01:24:38.420
Yeah, it’s all virtual.

2030
01:24:38.420 –> 01:24:39.480
No, because that was something

2031
01:24:39.480 –> 01:24:43.700
that we talked about during that ill-fated episode.

2032
01:24:43.700 –> 01:24:44.200
That’s right.

2033
01:24:44.840 –> 01:24:47.280
So yeah, for sure, they’re using…

2034
01:24:47.280 –> 01:24:50.500
So basically, they create Letter Kenny and Shorzy

2035
01:24:50.500 –> 01:24:53.420
the same way you guys created the takeover episode.

2036
01:24:53.560 –> 01:24:54.740
So you guys should feel very good about it.

2037
01:24:54.740 –> 01:24:57.000
Yeah, it’s the same way I write Full Circle, too.

2038
01:24:57.020 –> 01:24:57.740
Yeah, Full Circle.

2039
01:24:57.860 –> 01:24:59.920
And they solve problems using cahoots.

2040
01:25:01.680 –> 01:25:03.260
They sure fucking do.

2041
01:25:03.420 –> 01:25:04.320
That’s the one.

2042
01:25:04.480 –> 01:25:05.300
Oh, it’s not plural?

2043
01:25:05.480 –> 01:25:06.020
You don’t plural it?

2044
01:25:06.020 –> 01:25:06.800
I don’t know.

2045
01:25:07.580 –> 01:25:08.260
Oh, man.

2046
01:25:08.440 –> 01:25:09.760
Anyway, that was all I had.

2047
01:25:09.780 –> 01:25:10.260
There’s more than one.

2048
01:25:10.340 –> 01:25:12.140
I just want to throw out there, though,

2049
01:25:12.140 –> 01:25:16.140
that if we were to take a drive to Sudbury,

2050
01:25:16.320 –> 01:25:18.820
if anybody from the Letter Kenny…

2051
01:25:18.820 –> 01:25:19.020
Burry.

2052
01:25:19.640 –> 01:25:22.000
If anyone from the Letter Kenny show

2053
01:25:22.000 –> 01:25:23.760
happens to be listening to this,

2054
01:25:24.160 –> 01:25:25.940
just wants to drop us a line, maybe,

2055
01:25:25.960 –> 01:25:28.840
and let us know what time frame we should maybe go there

2056
01:25:28.840 –> 01:25:31.600
or who we should maybe talk to.

2057
01:25:31.600 –> 01:25:33.480
Yeah, we were thinking either late September

2058
01:25:33.480 –> 01:25:34.840
or mid-October.

2059
01:25:34.920 –> 01:25:38.000
I was thinking late October.

2060
01:25:38.280 –> 01:25:41.320
Get some nice, beautiful fall colors going on there

2061
01:25:41.320 –> 01:25:44.320
in the Algonquin area in the Sudbury.

2062
01:25:44.460 –> 01:25:46.700
Michelle said late September would be good, too.

2063
01:25:46.760 –> 01:25:48.420
So anyway, we’ll have to figure it out.

2064
01:25:48.420 –> 01:25:52.160
Yeah, Tanya, stick around for the after show.

2065
01:25:52.660 –> 01:25:54.160
Oh, well, we’ll do.

2066
01:25:54.260 –> 01:25:57.280
So that’s all I had planned for this episode.

2067
01:25:58.080 –> 01:25:59.300
I mean, good for you guys.

2068
01:25:59.400 –> 01:26:00.160
It went long anyway.

2069
01:26:00.440 –> 01:26:02.220
So we’ll go to final comments.

2070
01:26:02.720 –> 01:26:03.400
Let’s begin.

2071
01:26:03.800 –> 01:26:04.000
Awesome.

2072
01:26:04.040 –> 01:26:05.420
Why don’t you begin with the final comments?

2073
01:26:06.480 –> 01:26:08.980
I mean, delving into the process

2074
01:26:08.980 –> 01:26:13.680
has been not just educational and rewarding,

2075
01:26:13.680 –> 01:26:22.560
but I feel like I’ve really internalized it

2076
01:26:22.560 –> 01:26:27.960
and it’s something that seems really attainable now.

2077
01:26:28.160 –> 01:26:28.800
You know what I mean?

2078
01:26:30.020 –> 01:26:35.680
I’ve been worried about whether or not we could pull it off,

2079
01:26:35.740 –> 01:26:37.940
but now that we’ve done it twice,

2080
01:26:38.880 –> 01:26:42.920
it feels like, yeah, anyone could do this.

2081
01:26:43.200 –> 01:26:44.700
Absolutely anyone can do this.

2082
01:26:45.220 –> 01:26:46.660
You just have to start.

2083
01:26:47.800 –> 01:26:50.800
Anyone who asks me, do you have any advice

2084
01:26:50.800 –> 01:26:53.000
about starting a podcast is that, yeah, just start it.

2085
01:26:53.340 –> 01:26:56.400
Start it and you’ll learn along the way.

2086
01:26:56.780 –> 01:26:59.080
It’s not going to be perfect the first time around anyway,

2087
01:26:59.200 –> 01:27:01.000
and it doesn’t matter because when you first start,

2088
01:27:01.120 –> 01:27:01.840
no one’s listening.

2089
01:27:03.200 –> 01:27:04.680
Literally, no one’s listening.

2090
01:27:05.740 –> 01:27:07.800
And I think it’s very interesting.

2091
01:27:08.100 –> 01:27:11.200
OK, so yeah, just starting is one thing to say,

2092
01:27:11.320 –> 01:27:13.740
but having been on both sides of the process,

2093
01:27:14.700 –> 01:27:19.780
it is bizarrely easy to just do it.

2094
01:27:19.920 –> 01:27:23.820
And like I said, without all of us,

2095
01:27:23.880 –> 01:27:24.940
it wouldn’t have happened.

2096
01:27:25.520 –> 01:27:29.780
We did get kind of a dream team together, I feel like.

2097
01:27:30.160 –> 01:27:33.240
Trace with the scripts, I couldn’t have done that.

2098
01:27:34.480 –> 01:27:37.400
Casey with the expertise, I couldn’t have done that.

2099
01:27:37.920 –> 01:27:42.740
Erin with the time to buckle down and make those quotes.

2100
01:27:42.740 –> 01:27:43.600
Energy.

2101
01:27:46.300 –> 01:27:49.520
It really did take everybody contributing.

2102
01:27:51.480 –> 01:27:59.560
Yeah, but once you find that mix, that synergy really just works.

2103
01:28:00.020 –> 01:28:03.980
And I look forward to you guys taking a break again.

2104
01:28:03.980 –> 01:28:05.660
Not too soon, please.

2105
01:28:06.060 –> 01:28:11.260
But if at some point in the future you guys feel like you need a break,

2106
01:28:11.260 –> 01:28:14.300
just let us know and we’ll get on it.

2107
01:28:15.080 –> 01:28:15.920
I mean, excellent.

2108
01:28:16.140 –> 01:28:16.880
I mean, well done.

2109
01:28:18.500 –> 01:28:19.520
Thank you.

2110
01:28:19.580 –> 01:28:21.020
I appreciate you, Erin.

2111
01:28:23.100 –> 01:28:25.960
So I just want to thank you guys for letting us

2112
01:28:25.960 –> 01:28:27.860
have the opportunity to even do this.

2113
01:28:28.040 –> 01:28:31.480
I feel like awesome said it was a dream team.

2114
01:28:31.860 –> 01:28:35.760
I got a chance to know all of these guys so much better.

2115
01:28:36.380 –> 01:28:41.000
And I just want this kindred spirit to all of you.

2116
01:28:41.000 –> 01:28:44.180
It was it’s I’m happy that we’re back together this week.

2117
01:28:44.180 –> 01:28:46.000
I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself next week.

2118
01:28:46.060 –> 01:28:47.080
Although we have the after party.

2119
01:28:47.160 –> 01:28:48.220
So it’s all good.

2120
01:28:48.220 –> 01:28:49.440
I don’t have to worry about that.

2121
01:28:50.160 –> 01:28:53.520
But I’m just really thankful that we had this opportunity.

2122
01:28:54.260 –> 01:28:58.080
And I wish I’ll be really proud of what we did.

2123
01:28:58.340 –> 01:28:59.260
That was really exciting.

2124
01:28:59.460 –> 01:28:59.900
Absolutely.

2125
01:29:00.460 –> 01:29:01.100
Thank you.

2126
01:29:01.240 –> 01:29:02.260
All right, Trace.

2127
01:29:04.900 –> 01:29:07.920
Yeah, that was I mean, it was fun.

2128
01:29:07.920 –> 01:29:14.060
I mean, it kind of grew quickly, but organically.

2129
01:29:14.780 –> 01:29:19.020
It was we went from, hey, we’re you know,

2130
01:29:19.180 –> 01:29:20.040
Casey will host the alcohol.

2131
01:29:20.260 –> 01:29:21.080
Cool, too.

2132
01:29:21.240 –> 01:29:22.620
Oh, shit, we’re doing a show.

2133
01:29:25.620 –> 01:29:29.420
And if before next time we can, you know,

2134
01:29:29.520 –> 01:29:31.280
I don’t have to read the limericks live

2135
01:29:31.280 –> 01:29:33.240
because that’s serious pressure.

2136
01:29:33.300 –> 01:29:34.160
You did a great job.

2137
01:29:34.780 –> 01:29:35.140
Thank you.

2138
01:29:35.260 –> 01:29:35.520
Thank you.

2139
01:29:35.580 –> 01:29:38.800
But I was like, Matt gets to record them first.

2140
01:29:39.840 –> 01:29:40.540
He needs them.

2141
01:29:41.900 –> 01:29:42.940
Why don’t we start doing them live?

2142
01:29:43.040 –> 01:29:44.180
I can start doing them live.

2143
01:29:45.200 –> 01:29:49.480
No, I don’t want you to have to deal with that.

2144
01:29:49.940 –> 01:29:51.760
No, Trace just wants you to be able

2145
01:29:51.760 –> 01:29:54.040
to actually do justice to his words.

2146
01:29:54.400 –> 01:29:55.040
Oh, he does.

2147
01:29:55.700 –> 01:29:57.000
No, here’s the problem.

2148
01:29:57.360 –> 01:29:58.920
He always gets a mixer.

2149
01:29:59.800 –> 01:30:02.240
I don’t have a I don’t know the way they record.

2150
01:30:02.300 –> 01:30:03.160
Oh, I know.

2151
01:30:03.300 –> 01:30:05.180
I would have done, but I don’t.

2152
01:30:05.320 –> 01:30:07.680
But yeah, it was fun.

2153
01:30:07.800 –> 01:30:08.500
It was amazing.

2154
01:30:08.500 –> 01:30:14.100
It was so very cool and some, you know,

2155
01:30:15.800 –> 01:30:18.600
I didn’t put a load of high expectations,

2156
01:30:18.600 –> 01:30:20.300
at least on the first one.

2157
01:30:20.660 –> 01:30:22.280
I was like, this is really going to be pretty good

2158
01:30:22.280 –> 01:30:23.340
or it’s going to be really bad,

2159
01:30:23.460 –> 01:30:25.200
but whatever, we’ll have fun doing it.

2160
01:30:25.200 –> 01:30:26.840
And it turned out really good.

2161
01:30:27.360 –> 01:30:31.760
And the second one was interesting

2162
01:30:31.760 –> 01:30:33.560
because you’re like, well,

2163
01:30:33.800 –> 01:30:35.060
it’s got to be better than the other one.

2164
01:30:35.340 –> 01:30:37.800
So I mean, you get into this philosophy

2165
01:30:37.800 –> 01:30:40.280
like, oh, man, we’re going to keep topping ourselves.

2166
01:30:40.440 –> 01:30:42.520
I wonder if Al thinks about this.

2167
01:30:43.180 –> 01:30:44.580
Like every episode,

2168
01:30:44.580 –> 01:30:46.200
I got to do it better than the last one.

2169
01:30:46.400 –> 01:30:47.760
It used to keep me awake.

2170
01:30:47.880 –> 01:30:50.180
Now I just not anymore.

2171
01:30:50.780 –> 01:30:51.920
Now just is what it is.

2172
01:30:51.920 –> 01:30:53.160
Yeah, now it is what it is.

2173
01:30:53.600 –> 01:30:57.400
But yeah, it was it was it was a great experience.

2174
01:30:58.640 –> 01:31:00.340
And you guys are the best.

2175
01:31:01.120 –> 01:31:02.960
I’m still so impressed with us

2176
01:31:02.960 –> 01:31:04.780
because we pulled that first episode out

2177
01:31:04.780 –> 01:31:07.660
in like a hair over 24 hours.

2178
01:31:07.800 –> 01:31:10.340
We had that shit sorted out a lot of times.

2179
01:31:10.540 –> 01:31:12.320
Casey, my Joan rivers you.

2180
01:31:16.420 –> 01:31:17.060
What do you have to say?

2181
01:31:17.460 –> 01:31:20.140
I know I’m just I’m just so grateful

2182
01:31:21.240 –> 01:31:24.160
that I found you guys and that you found me

2183
01:31:24.160 –> 01:31:26.620
and that we all have this connection.

2184
01:31:29.320 –> 01:31:30.940
It’s just it’s nice.

2185
01:31:31.220 –> 01:31:32.880
It’s a place where I feel me

2186
01:31:32.880 –> 01:31:36.480
and it’s great to be creative with people

2187
01:31:36.480 –> 01:31:39.040
and it’s great to like experience life with people.

2188
01:31:39.160 –> 01:31:41.160
And I feel like we get to do that with each other

2189
01:31:41.160 –> 01:31:42.600
and in small ways.

2190
01:31:42.600 –> 01:31:44.080
And this was a bigger way.

2191
01:31:44.520 –> 01:31:46.320
And I really appreciated that.

2192
01:31:46.420 –> 01:31:49.220
I appreciated Aaron for just being there

2193
01:31:49.220 –> 01:31:52.340
and showing up and awesome for fucking being awesome.

2194
01:31:52.820 –> 01:31:55.680
And Trace for being our cunning linguist, Trace.

2195
01:31:57.580 –> 01:31:59.080
Don’t roll your eyes, son.

2196
01:31:59.140 –> 01:32:00.760
I see you out.

2197
01:32:01.200 –> 01:32:02.160
He turned that out.

2198
01:32:02.160 –> 01:32:04.080
It was like he’s underplaying it.

2199
01:32:04.200 –> 01:32:05.540
There was like an idea.

2200
01:32:05.540 –> 01:32:07.580
And then I don’t know.

2201
01:32:07.580 –> 01:32:10.880
Hours later, Trace has this script.

2202
01:32:11.300 –> 01:32:13.180
And so then awesome and I are then it’s like,

2203
01:32:13.180 –> 01:32:15.360
oh, let’s get a Zoom meeting because we got now

2204
01:32:15.360 –> 01:32:16.380
we got to talk about pace

2205
01:32:16.380 –> 01:32:17.700
because I have a theater background.

2206
01:32:17.840 –> 01:32:21.280
So it’s just it was like it lit something up inside of me

2207
01:32:21.280 –> 01:32:24.200
to be working this way creatively with you people

2208
01:32:24.200 –> 01:32:26.940
around the show that we’re passionate about

2209
01:32:26.940 –> 01:32:28.220
and that we all connect with.

2210
01:32:29.580 –> 01:32:32.740
And I just that’s what I appreciate about you.

2211
01:32:32.900 –> 01:32:33.280
Great.

2212
01:32:33.840 –> 01:32:34.760
Great way to end it off.

2213
01:32:34.760 –> 01:32:36.600
Victor, what do you have to say for yourself?

2214
01:32:37.420 –> 01:32:40.380
Yeah, I just love how everyone is so proud

2215
01:32:40.380 –> 01:32:41.280
of the work that they did.

2216
01:32:41.380 –> 01:32:43.220
I think it’s important to kind of pause

2217
01:32:43.220 –> 01:32:45.500
and pat yourself on the shoulder for job well done.

2218
01:32:45.680 –> 01:32:46.900
I think that that’s important.

2219
01:32:48.700 –> 01:32:52.560
And again, it’s an example, awesome said how easy it is.

2220
01:32:52.880 –> 01:32:55.040
It is easy and just do it.

2221
01:32:55.080 –> 01:32:57.260
But at the same time, I’ve heard

2222
01:32:57.260 –> 01:33:00.440
I’ve listened to lots of really bad podcasts

2223
01:33:00.440 –> 01:33:03.000
where people think you just go on and talk

2224
01:33:03.000 –> 01:33:05.740
and then people will for some reason find that interesting.

2225
01:33:06.000 –> 01:33:07.040
And that’s not the case.

2226
01:33:07.420 –> 01:33:09.880
There is a formula to it all.

2227
01:33:10.060 –> 01:33:11.280
But it’s not just a formula.

2228
01:33:11.340 –> 01:33:13.400
There’s a personality, there’s charisma,

2229
01:33:13.840 –> 01:33:15.900
there’s planning, there’s thoughtfulness,

2230
01:33:16.300 –> 01:33:19.920
there’s authenticity, there’s Aaron’s sincerity beer,

2231
01:33:20.360 –> 01:33:21.800
whatever it is.

2232
01:33:23.080 –> 01:33:25.300
All those ingredients are important.

2233
01:33:25.580 –> 01:33:26.820
It’s not just one thing.

2234
01:33:27.500 –> 01:33:30.880
And like even you look at the group of

2235
01:33:30.880 –> 01:33:32.140
the group of characters here,

2236
01:33:32.140 –> 01:33:35.320
everyone brings something different to the table, right?

2237
01:33:35.320 –> 01:33:37.480
You’ve got a subject matter expert and awesome.

2238
01:33:38.400 –> 01:33:39.860
Aaron is just as a wizard.

2239
01:33:41.800 –> 01:33:43.750
I just can’t say enough about her.

2240
01:33:44.620 –> 01:33:48.560
Obviously, Trey was bringing that

2241
01:33:49.260 –> 01:33:52.080
the writing skills and what is it?

2242
01:33:52.180 –> 01:33:52.600
Cunnilingus?

2243
01:33:52.760 –> 01:33:53.780
Is that what somebody said?

2244
01:33:54.460 –> 01:33:55.340
Cunnilingus, exactly.

2245
01:33:55.540 –> 01:33:56.700
Cunnilingus, I like that.

2246
01:33:57.760 –> 01:33:58.180
Yes, yes.

2247
01:33:58.180 –> 01:33:58.820
Just picture.

2248
01:34:00.040 –> 01:34:00.620
Nevermind.

2249
01:34:01.000 –> 01:34:01.760
What was that again?

2250
01:34:02.360 –> 01:34:02.620
Jesus.

2251
01:34:04.740 –> 01:34:08.800
And then Casey, I don’t even realize you were a professional

2252
01:34:08.800 –> 01:34:09.780
10 years in the business.

2253
01:34:10.600 –> 01:34:11.840
Obviously, it shows.

2254
01:34:12.620 –> 01:34:15.900
But you bring all these talented people together,

2255
01:34:16.440 –> 01:34:18.860
it’s not a surprise that you guys did such a great job.

2256
01:34:19.900 –> 01:34:23.200
And you really killed it and you stay true to the brand.

2257
01:34:24.240 –> 01:34:26.620
Listening back to it, it just sounded like another

2258
01:34:26.620 –> 01:34:29.680
you know, protestant podcast.

2259
01:34:30.660 –> 01:34:32.600
It was really, really well done.

2260
01:34:32.640 –> 01:34:38.980
You guys are incredible and that we’re humbled by the job

2261
01:34:38.980 –> 01:34:42.040
that you did and so, so happy that you guys are part of

2262
01:34:42.040 –> 01:34:42.560
this community.

2263
01:34:42.800 –> 01:34:43.920
Yeah, stay true to the brand.

2264
01:34:44.100 –> 01:34:44.480
I love that.

2265
01:34:44.880 –> 01:34:46.160
As corporate as that sounds.

2266
01:34:46.820 –> 01:34:48.120
And that was important.

2267
01:34:48.300 –> 01:34:50.220
That was really, really important to us.

2268
01:34:50.220 –> 01:34:52.660
Because we wanted to have the tone.

2269
01:34:52.660 –> 01:34:58.180
We wanted to, I mean, an important part of paying homage

2270
01:34:58.180 –> 01:35:03.800
or making a pastiche or a satire or parody is nailing

2271
01:35:04.660 –> 01:35:07.340
the tone of the original thing.

2272
01:35:11.160 –> 01:35:15.040
You got to know what the rules are inside and out

2273
01:35:15.040 –> 01:35:16.180
in order to break them.

2274
01:35:16.500 –> 01:35:16.520
Yeah.

2275
01:35:16.520 –> 01:35:17.120
You know what I mean?

2276
01:35:17.240 –> 01:35:18.220
Yeah, well put.

2277
01:35:19.300 –> 01:35:19.500
Matt?

2278
01:35:20.860 –> 01:35:26.140
Yeah, just they said it humbled was the first thing

2279
01:35:26.140 –> 01:35:29.920
and Victor for sure called that out on without

2280
01:35:29.920 –> 01:35:32.800
in the sense that when we heard this was kind of going

2281
01:35:32.800 –> 01:35:36.700
on, didn’t have any idea of expectations like, oh,

2282
01:35:36.700 –> 01:35:37.340
this could be fun.

2283
01:35:37.360 –> 01:35:40.180
But we knew that the group that was here could bring

2284
01:35:40.180 –> 01:35:42.400
something special and you did.

2285
01:35:43.280 –> 01:35:45.680
And congratulations to the four of you for pulling

2286
01:35:45.680 –> 01:35:48.440
that together and you should be damn proud of what

2287
01:35:48.440 –> 01:35:51.300
you accomplished because it was a hell of a lot of fun

2288
01:35:51.300 –> 01:35:53.040
to listen back to both of them.

2289
01:35:53.340 –> 01:35:57.740
And they there’s just, yes, it stayed true to brand,

2290
01:35:57.840 –> 01:36:01.140
but it was you guys as well doing your own flavor

2291
01:36:01.140 –> 01:36:03.500
and bringing you to the table, which is what

2292
01:36:03.500 –> 01:36:04.500
this is all about, right?

2293
01:36:04.740 –> 01:36:08.600
This is a massive group of individuals who are all

2294
01:36:08.600 –> 01:36:11.620
centered and corralled around something we love.

2295
01:36:12.340 –> 01:36:14.680
But at the same time, bring yourselves to the table.

2296
01:36:14.700 –> 01:36:16.580
And you did that through and through.

2297
01:36:17.260 –> 01:36:20.640
And I applaud you for it and absolutely welcome

2298
01:36:20.640 –> 01:36:23.620
it again and again and again, because it was so much fun.

2299
01:36:24.440 –> 01:36:26.300
So yeah, seriously, guys, thank you for doing

2300
01:36:26.300 –> 01:36:27.260
that for stepping up.

2301
01:36:27.280 –> 01:36:28.580
It was a great thing.

2302
01:36:28.720 –> 01:36:29.020
Let’s do it.

2303
01:36:29.080 –> 01:36:30.580
I’m looking forward to what you guys produce next.

2304
01:36:30.580 –> 01:36:33.600
And as I was already said as well, please lean on us.

2305
01:36:33.720 –> 01:36:34.140
Grab us.

2306
01:36:34.180 –> 01:36:38.260
If you want to collaborate, we’ll be as involved

2307
01:36:39.300 –> 01:36:41.980
or step back as you like us to be.

2308
01:36:44.020 –> 01:36:44.820
It’s fantastic.

2309
01:36:44.820 –> 01:36:46.900
You guys are just a class act.

2310
01:36:47.080 –> 01:36:47.960
So thank you.

2311
01:36:48.020 –> 01:36:50.760
That requires Victor to actually like participate.

2312
01:36:51.200 –> 01:36:54.920
Well, I can’t speak for all four of us, but, you know,

2313
01:36:55.700 –> 01:36:57.320
if you really need them, I’ll ping them

2314
01:36:57.320 –> 01:36:58.680
and maybe he’ll listen to mine too.

2315
01:36:58.700 –> 01:37:00.160
Victor is committed to two hours a week.

2316
01:37:01.980 –> 01:37:03.040
Come on, Matt.

2317
01:37:03.220 –> 01:37:07.240
I was if if I was if I was to show you

2318
01:37:07.240 –> 01:37:09.480
my my outlook calendar every day.

2319
01:37:10.100 –> 01:37:11.160
No, no, no, we know you’re busy.

2320
01:37:12.100 –> 01:37:13.020
So just set us a counter.

2321
01:37:13.120 –> 01:37:14.200
We can book around it.

2322
01:37:14.200 –> 01:37:15.180
There you go.

2323
01:37:15.220 –> 01:37:15.500
Yeah, right.

2324
01:37:15.720 –> 01:37:18.000
That’s all so we can coordinate my outlook.

2325
01:37:18.740 –> 01:37:21.920
Matt, you missed the you missed it.

2326
01:37:22.000 –> 01:37:25.080
I was waiting for you to call out that there were beauties.

2327
01:37:26.420 –> 01:37:28.240
I was waiting for the beauty.

2328
01:37:28.640 –> 01:37:30.700
You can take it and run with it.

2329
01:37:31.460 –> 01:37:32.440
I’m like, I can’t step on you.

2330
01:37:32.540 –> 01:37:34.060
I thought you were going to say it.

2331
01:37:34.080 –> 01:37:37.320
So I’m like, that’s that’s that’s Matt’s line.

2332
01:37:37.380 –> 01:37:38.900
I’m not going to take it.

2333
01:37:38.980 –> 01:37:39.800
I’ll take it.

2334
01:37:39.820 –> 01:37:40.460
It’s yours now.

2335
01:37:40.560 –> 01:37:42.080
You’ve already claimed it clearly.

2336
01:37:44.380 –> 01:37:48.520
Oh, I have to say is my face hurts.

2337
01:37:48.940 –> 01:37:50.500
I have smiled and laughed.

2338
01:37:51.060 –> 01:37:53.860
And and you beautiful, beautiful people.

2339
01:37:54.660 –> 01:37:57.890
I my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.

2340
01:37:58.520 –> 01:38:03.500
You know, in a in a world that you you get a lot of

2341
01:38:05.020 –> 01:38:08.980
negative stories and and and shit on the news.

2342
01:38:08.980 –> 01:38:11.720
And here’s this podcast.

2343
01:38:12.020 –> 01:38:16.600
And really, it’s so beyond a podcast because like when you

2344
01:38:16.600 –> 01:38:19.860
think of it and and break it down to what it is,

2345
01:38:20.460 –> 01:38:22.900
you’re the listeners of a podcast.

2346
01:38:23.040 –> 01:38:24.760
But it’s not that anymore.

2347
01:38:25.020 –> 01:38:26.640
It is a family.

2348
01:38:27.380 –> 01:38:29.560
It is a beyond a friendship.

2349
01:38:30.280 –> 01:38:35.660
It is you guys coming together and and and putting the it’s

2350
01:38:35.660 –> 01:38:37.400
so much bigger than what it is.

2351
01:38:37.400 –> 01:38:39.280
Like it just really truly is.

2352
01:38:39.540 –> 01:38:43.680
And I challenge anyone to to find another podcast that this

2353
01:38:43.680 –> 01:38:44.400
has happened.

2354
01:38:44.580 –> 01:38:49.100
Like I don’t think it would be out there because you guys

2355
01:38:49.100 –> 01:38:51.380
are just such beautiful, beautiful people.

2356
01:38:52.140 –> 01:38:56.400
And it shows that, you know, in a in in a world

2357
01:38:56.400 –> 01:39:00.640
where you do hear the bad of things, you guys are just

2358
01:39:00.640 –> 01:39:02.920
so much the opposite end of that.

2359
01:39:02.920 –> 01:39:08.420
You are so wonderful and and and and show your love

2360
01:39:08.420 –> 01:39:12.720
and your happiness and your support for us, the support

2361
01:39:12.720 –> 01:39:15.280
for a letter, Kenny, the support for each other.

2362
01:39:16.620 –> 01:39:20.180
You know, when things happen in each other’s lives,

2363
01:39:20.360 –> 01:39:23.860
you guys are just so there like we go on vacation

2364
01:39:23.860 –> 01:39:27.460
and you guys just jump in and it’s so wonderful.

2365
01:39:27.460 –> 01:39:30.060
And I’m so glad that I’m a part of it.

2366
01:39:30.060 –> 01:39:33.780
I’m so glad that, you know, Al posted it for everyone

2367
01:39:33.780 –> 01:39:37.540
to hear and and and enjoy and just share in.

2368
01:39:37.840 –> 01:39:40.500
And I just it means so much.

2369
01:39:40.940 –> 01:39:42.280
And and thank you.

2370
01:39:42.420 –> 01:39:43.420
Just thank you so much.

2371
01:39:43.620 –> 01:39:45.400
You might almost just say they’re fucking beauties.

2372
01:39:45.680 –> 01:39:46.960
There you go.

2373
01:39:47.240 –> 01:39:50.120
OK, and I just want to say and I want to say cheers

2374
01:39:50.120 –> 01:39:51.780
and I want to say cheers to you because you did

2375
01:39:51.780 –> 01:39:52.960
a great fucking job.

2376
01:39:53.300 –> 01:39:55.240
Just excellent, excellent job.

2377
01:39:57.400 –> 01:40:00.320
You guys have heard everything that I’ve had to say.

2378
01:40:00.500 –> 01:40:04.100
And now, Matt, Victor and Tanya have said their piece.

2379
01:40:04.420 –> 01:40:05.140
You did a great job.

2380
01:40:05.240 –> 01:40:05.580
Thank you.

2381
01:40:05.780 –> 01:40:05.900
Thank you.

2382
01:40:05.980 –> 01:40:06.340
Thank you.

2383
01:40:07.320 –> 01:40:10.980
Whenever you want to do this again, do it, just do it

2384
01:40:10.980 –> 01:40:13.720
and send me the file and I will post it happily

2385
01:40:13.720 –> 01:40:16.560
and with confidence because I know you’ll do us proud.

2386
01:40:18.720 –> 01:40:19.900
So brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

2387
01:40:20.300 –> 01:40:23.080
I can’t wait to hear what else you have in store.

2388
01:40:23.200 –> 01:40:25.080
And if there again, if there are others out there

2389
01:40:25.080 –> 01:40:28.640
who want to either pitch an idea or or be part

2390
01:40:28.640 –> 01:40:31.020
of the takeover takeover crew and reach out

2391
01:40:31.020 –> 01:40:33.500
and and, you know, share your ideas.

2392
01:40:33.620 –> 01:40:35.460
I’ve got a few emails from a few people

2393
01:40:35.460 –> 01:40:36.580
with ideas for shows.

2394
01:40:36.800 –> 01:40:38.560
And and I’m not ignoring you guys.

2395
01:40:38.600 –> 01:40:41.000
I’ve just been swamped this week, but I will.

2396
01:40:41.120 –> 01:40:43.500
I will get around to responding to them

2397
01:40:43.500 –> 01:40:45.760
and to figuring it out because like I said,

2398
01:40:45.760 –> 01:40:47.580
we have months to to vamp on this.

2399
01:40:47.760 –> 01:40:50.360
So but again, well done looking forward

2400
01:40:50.360 –> 01:40:51.200
to what you do next.

2401
01:40:51.440 –> 01:40:53.520
I’m going to play us off here with a song,

2402
01:40:53.520 –> 01:40:56.180
one of my favorite songs from the Letter Kenny series.

2403
01:40:56.360 –> 01:40:59.400
It’s called I Wanna Go by Summer Hart.

2404
01:41:10.280 –> 01:41:11.940
That’s all we have for this episode.

2405
01:41:12.240 –> 01:41:14.780
Next week, we will be joined by our buddy, Jason Eichard.

2406
01:41:15.280 –> 01:41:17.920
He’s coming to kick out his favorite squirrely dance scenes.

2407
01:41:18.000 –> 01:41:19.200
That’s going to be a lot of fun.

2408
01:41:20.820 –> 01:41:22.200
