1
00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:03.300
Hey everybody, Al here. I’ve got a special episode for you this week.

2
00:00:03.840 –> 00:00:08.900
If you follow us on Twitter, you know that yesterday we spent an amazing day with some of our listeners in person.

3
00:00:09.280 –> 00:00:12.080
What you may not know are the events that led to this happening.

4
00:00:12.940 –> 00:00:17.160
You see, a few months back, Sudbury’s Ontario Hockey League team, the Sudbury Wolves,

5
00:00:17.360 –> 00:00:22.760
announced a special night would take place for their December 9th game against the Saginaw Spirit. That’s tonight.

6
00:00:23.360 –> 00:00:30.300
This game was in partnership with Letterkenny and Shorzy Production Company New Metric Media to raise funds for the Neo Kids Foundation.

7
00:00:30.820 –> 00:00:35.620
That’s a foundation that raises funds to support the health of children and youth in Northeast Ontario.

8
00:00:36.560 –> 00:00:41.400
During this game, the Sudbury Wolves will transform to the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs for one night.

9
00:00:41.780 –> 00:00:49.180
They’ll wear the jerseys, sell the merchandise, sell Puppers Golden Lager and give out game sticks from Chapman’s Ice Cream and much, much more.

10
00:00:49.780 –> 00:00:51.980
It seemed like a great idea for a great cause.

11
00:00:51.980 –> 00:00:56.960
Then one day, one of our DM members, that goes by the name of AtJustYourMum,

12
00:00:57.100 –> 00:01:02.020
announced in the group that she bought tickets for the game, despite being from Massachusetts.

13
00:01:02.800 –> 00:01:04.739
Well, that set off a bunch of chatter in the group.

14
00:01:05.099 –> 00:01:07.880
Then suddenly Casey announced she bought tickets too.

15
00:01:08.260 –> 00:01:12.260
Still, no one was committing to actually going in person until they did.

16
00:01:13.040 –> 00:01:18.440
I think it was Robbie who said he was going to fly into Buffalo, rent a car and drive up if somebody wanted to join him.

17
00:01:18.720 –> 00:01:20.160
So Casey said she would.

18
00:01:20.160 –> 00:01:24.220
And then the excitement started building and more and more people committed to coming.

19
00:01:24.840 –> 00:01:27.540
Awesome, Aaron, Joey, Joshua, Adrian.

20
00:01:28.300 –> 00:01:34.220
Now I just read along, amused, but also thinking, how could we take advantage of this opportunity, as I do?

21
00:01:34.860 –> 00:01:39.040
All of these listeners from all over the continent in the same place at the same time?

22
00:01:39.540 –> 00:01:41.140
So that’s when I finally intervened.

23
00:01:41.340 –> 00:01:46.540
At first, I told them they couldn’t come all this way without meeting Tanya, Victor and myself in person.

24
00:01:46.540 –> 00:01:52.160
We had already had our Sudbury adventure, but that didn’t mean we couldn’t break bread before they headed up for theirs.

25
00:01:52.860 –> 00:01:54.220
So the planning started.

26
00:01:54.680 –> 00:01:57.080
I found a central place for all of us to meet for dinner.

27
00:01:57.560 –> 00:02:00.500
Tanya got to work on a little keepsake to give to those who were coming.

28
00:02:01.060 –> 00:02:06.520
Then I reached out to Billy Buttrey, who’s been so supportive and giving of his time to the podcast in the past.

29
00:02:06.760 –> 00:02:09.440
So I asked him if he wanted to join us for dinner.

30
00:02:09.979 –> 00:02:13.620
When he agreed, I got really excited and I knew this was going to be a special night.

31
00:02:14.380 –> 00:02:15.580
The day finally came.

32
00:02:15.580 –> 00:02:18.860
Awesome was the first to arrive very early.

33
00:02:19.040 –> 00:02:20.820
It’d be hours before the others would arrive.

34
00:02:20.980 –> 00:02:25.060
So I picked her up from the airport and took her for her first Tim Horton’s breakfast.

35
00:02:25.860 –> 00:02:30.980
When the others arrived, I planned a quick walking tour of Toronto’s downtown core, as many of them had never been.

36
00:02:31.600 –> 00:02:33.420
We had a great time and took many pictures.

37
00:02:33.720 –> 00:02:38.580
You can see some of them shared on Twitter if you follow the hashtag BlueberryCrew2022.

38
00:02:39.480 –> 00:02:40.940
The weather couldn’t have been better.

39
00:02:41.320 –> 00:02:42.760
The timing couldn’t have been better.

40
00:02:42.760 –> 00:02:46.020
But the highlight was that evening when everyone arrived for dinner.

41
00:02:46.460 –> 00:02:49.480
It was just a night filled with old friends who had never met in person.

42
00:02:50.160 –> 00:02:58.400
It was equally bizarre and amazing, punctuated by the arrival of Billy and his wife, Carmel, a secret I had kept from everyone except Tanya.

43
00:02:58.860 –> 00:02:59.840
Even Matt didn’t know.

44
00:03:00.440 –> 00:03:02.020
Billy and Carmel couldn’t have been sweeter.

45
00:03:02.340 –> 00:03:04.020
The whole night was just one big hug.

46
00:03:04.260 –> 00:03:05.780
That’s the best way to describe it.

47
00:03:06.160 –> 00:03:07.880
After we ate, I put Matt to work.

48
00:03:08.240 –> 00:03:12.160
I handed him my field recorder and we went around collecting soundbites and stories.

49
00:03:12.160 –> 00:03:18.600
So now I’m going to pass this part of the episode over to Matt, but not before a little final instruction.

50
00:03:42.160 –> 00:03:44.440
You asked the question. This is your mic, that’s their mic.

51
00:03:44.780 –> 00:03:47.260
Oh, this is way too complicated for me.

52
00:03:47.800 –> 00:03:50.720
This is Squirrely Matt coming at you live from the Hibachi Lounge.

53
00:03:51.720 –> 00:03:54.620
Am I being really loud? It sounds like I’m being really loud.

54
00:03:55.000 –> 00:03:55.600
I’m good?

55
00:03:56.400 –> 00:03:58.980
Like, you know when you wear headphones and you don’t really know?

56
00:03:59.260 –> 00:04:00.420
That’s what’s happening right now.

57
00:04:00.940 –> 00:04:03.300
Al’s staring at me, he’s judging, he’s judging, he’s judging.

58
00:04:03.840 –> 00:04:07.140
He finally gave me a job and I don’t know, but I’m sitting here with the lovely Erin.

59
00:04:07.540 –> 00:04:09.020
Erin, where are you coming at us from?

60
00:04:09.020 –> 00:04:12.340
Hi Matt, I’m coming here from Chicago, Illinois.

61
00:04:12.520 –> 00:04:13.980
Yes, and what is happening here tonight?

62
00:04:14.520 –> 00:04:20.339
Well, tonight we’re a bunch of DJs joining together for some Hibachi good times and drinks.

63
00:04:20.760 –> 00:04:22.060
Here in Ontario?

64
00:04:23.000 –> 00:04:25.000
Ontario, Canada, yes.

65
00:04:25.260 –> 00:04:26.300
This is really fucked up.

66
00:04:26.900 –> 00:04:31.340
It is, it is messed up, but we are here and happy all because of you guys.

67
00:04:31.400 –> 00:04:33.440
Oh, it’s amazing. So this is wild.

68
00:04:33.940 –> 00:04:37.280
We, seven of you flew in from all over the U.S. today.

69
00:04:37.280 –> 00:04:38.480
Literally all over the U.S.

70
00:04:38.480 –> 00:04:40.860
To go to dinner, and then you guys are heading where?

71
00:04:41.480 –> 00:04:45.380
We are going to Berry and then having a Sudbury Friday and Saturday night.

72
00:04:45.400 –> 00:04:47.220
That’s why I said I was not hitting bottom.

73
00:04:48.880 –> 00:04:50.180
And who do we have here?

74
00:04:50.420 –> 00:04:51.980
Want to say something? Hi? Hi.

75
00:04:52.220 –> 00:04:55.100
We have the lovely Awesome here all the way from California.

76
00:04:55.360 –> 00:04:56.920
Yeah, San Francisco, California.

77
00:04:57.320 –> 00:04:58.640
What do you think of Canada so far?

78
00:04:59.060 –> 00:05:01.040
It’s nice. It’s nice.

79
00:05:01.040 –> 00:05:08.700
I arrived here with, like, a leather coat and a hoodie and my hockey sweater and my undershirt.

80
00:05:08.840 –> 00:05:10.780
Now I’m down to just my undershirt and jeans.

81
00:05:11.840 –> 00:05:14.940
But you had enough gear to, you know…

82
00:05:14.940 –> 00:05:17.820
Yeah, I thought it was going to be cold and instead it turned out to be cold.

83
00:05:17.820 –> 00:05:18.520
Yeah, it’s not bad at all.

84
00:05:19.940 –> 00:05:22.780
This is wild. And then next to her we have the amazing Joey.

85
00:05:22.780 –> 00:05:23.860
The Canadians overhype it.

86
00:05:25.460 –> 00:05:28.080
Yeah, y’all think you’re so tough with your cold weather resistance.

87
00:05:28.080 –> 00:05:29.480
Bitch, I’m from the Bay Area.

88
00:05:30.500 –> 00:05:31.940
That shit is bomb-ing.

89
00:05:33.480 –> 00:05:34.980
Yeah, it’s dry cold.

90
00:05:35.320 –> 00:05:36.600
And Joey, where are you coming at us from?

91
00:05:37.560 –> 00:05:38.920
Flew in from Denver today.

92
00:05:40.760 –> 00:05:43.460
Been up since about 2.30 this morning.

93
00:05:43.960 –> 00:05:49.860
Just got some lovely hibachi after a two-ish hour tour downtown Toronto.

94
00:05:51.020 –> 00:05:51.860
Lovely city.

95
00:05:52.080 –> 00:05:53.380
You said this is your first time in Canada?

96
00:05:53.380 –> 00:05:59.760
First time in Canada and that damn border patrol did not stamp my passport.

97
00:06:01.020 –> 00:06:02.620
That’s right, you were making a big scene about that.

98
00:06:02.620 –> 00:06:03.440
You just wanted to stamp.

99
00:06:03.600 –> 00:06:05.020
They’re just lazy now apparently.

100
00:06:05.320 –> 00:06:07.460
Like I said, these damn Canadians overhyping everything.

101
00:06:07.600 –> 00:06:09.960
Do you think we can stamp our own passports?

102
00:06:10.100 –> 00:06:10.800
I don’t have a stamp.

103
00:06:10.920 –> 00:06:12.020
Did anyone care?

104
00:06:12.180 –> 00:06:15.640
Like, if I started putting like a, I don’t know, a Snoopy stamp in there?

105
00:06:17.280 –> 00:06:17.880
What’s that?

106
00:06:18.100 –> 00:06:19.520
I have a really nice Yoda stamp.

107
00:06:19.800 –> 00:06:20.820
Like, do you think they…

108
00:06:20.820 –> 00:06:22.000
Yoda best.

109
00:06:22.000 –> 00:06:26.960
Like, with that question, with that question, shit do you think, like next time you go across

110
00:06:26.960 –> 00:06:29.960
the border, just looking through it like Yoda.

111
00:06:30.960 –> 00:06:31.680
Yeah, yeah.

112
00:06:32.840 –> 00:06:34.140
Quick trip to Dagobah.

113
00:06:35.780 –> 00:06:36.820
That’s amazing.

114
00:06:37.100 –> 00:06:38.620
And then you guys are heading to Sudbury tomorrow.

115
00:06:38.940 –> 00:06:44.280
Yeah, tonight’s hotel stuff in Bury and then Sudbury first thing in the morning.

116
00:06:45.180 –> 00:06:49.380
Some axe throwing and then Sudbury Saturday night.

117
00:06:49.840 –> 00:06:50.460
On a Friday.

118
00:06:51.600 –> 00:06:57.100
Because tomorrow night the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs are premiering.

119
00:06:57.300 –> 00:06:59.520
Are played by the Sudbury Wolves.

120
00:06:59.980 –> 00:07:00.920
Fucking crazy, man.

121
00:07:01.400 –> 00:07:01.980
And there is…

122
00:07:01.980 –> 00:07:03.420
To benefit the Neo Foundation?

123
00:07:04.260 –> 00:07:07.040
Yeah, it’s a charity event, they’re auctioning off jerseys and shit.

124
00:07:07.820 –> 00:07:09.240
That’s good for them, man.

125
00:07:09.580 –> 00:07:09.780
I know.

126
00:07:09.780 –> 00:07:11.180
Hockey brings people together.

127
00:07:11.380 –> 00:07:12.060
Is it ever, right?

128
00:07:12.620 –> 00:07:14.220
Alright, I’m going to quickly go around the room here.

129
00:07:20.190 –> 00:07:21.070
Hello lovely people.

130
00:07:21.510 –> 00:07:22.050
How are you, Juan?

131
00:07:22.110 –> 00:07:22.510
Hello, Matt.

132
00:07:22.810 –> 00:07:23.310
How’s it going?

133
00:07:23.590 –> 00:07:24.070
Good, man.

134
00:07:24.070 –> 00:07:27.230
I can always drink beer, but when I do, it’s Sapporo.

135
00:07:28.510 –> 00:07:30.050
You can’t go wrong with Sapporo, right?

136
00:07:30.110 –> 00:07:30.770
Oh, it’s pretty good actually.

137
00:07:30.770 –> 00:07:32.350
Oh my god, I was so excited about Sapporo.

138
00:07:32.690 –> 00:07:32.910
Yeah.

139
00:07:33.170 –> 00:07:34.270
This is awesome, man.

140
00:07:34.430 –> 00:07:35.230
Isn’t it wild?

141
00:07:35.610 –> 00:07:36.550
This is so crazy.

142
00:07:36.550 –> 00:07:39.090
I’m so tripping on every aspect of this thing.

143
00:07:39.450 –> 00:07:39.750
It is.

144
00:07:40.930 –> 00:07:41.950
Miriam, how are you?

145
00:07:42.050 –> 00:07:42.550
I’m good.

146
00:07:42.710 –> 00:07:43.070
And you?

147
00:07:43.230 –> 00:07:43.870
I’m excellent.

148
00:07:44.810 –> 00:07:48.190
Actually, I had to reach out to Al and say, is this still happening?

149
00:07:48.490 –> 00:07:51.910
Because the last notification I saw, you cancelled our booking.

150
00:07:52.270 –> 00:07:52.390
I’m sorry.

151
00:07:52.830 –> 00:07:53.350
I’m sorry.

152
00:07:53.350 –> 00:07:55.210
I’m not sure we’re still here tonight, but we are.

153
00:07:56.230 –> 00:07:57.410
It was my mistake.

154
00:07:57.710 –> 00:08:02.690
I was trying to put it in my calendar, and it sent out an invitation, a second invitation,

155
00:08:03.010 –> 00:08:05.630
so I cancelled it right away.

156
00:08:06.370 –> 00:08:09.510
But the calendar is saying not the reservation here?

157
00:08:09.650 –> 00:08:10.190
No, no, no.

158
00:08:10.290 –> 00:08:11.030
Oh, okay.

159
00:08:11.390 –> 00:08:12.610
My calendar invite.

160
00:08:12.690 –> 00:08:13.850
Yeah, just the Google invite.

161
00:08:13.910 –> 00:08:16.950
So I got the invite and I accepted it, and then all of a sudden I got a cancellation

162
00:08:16.950 –> 00:08:18.210
by Miriam.

163
00:08:19.090 –> 00:08:20.490
But we still got here, so we’re good.

164
00:08:20.650 –> 00:08:21.090
Yeah.

165
00:08:21.090 –> 00:08:23.610
And these are two of the only other local people here.

166
00:08:23.610 –> 00:08:24.350
That’s right.

167
00:08:24.530 –> 00:08:27.230
They’re the other US DGENs that came in from all over.

168
00:08:27.410 –> 00:08:28.010
It’s wild.

169
00:08:28.690 –> 00:08:29.610
Isn’t it fun to see everyone?

170
00:08:29.650 –> 00:08:30.330
This is crazy.

171
00:08:30.350 –> 00:08:31.170
In the person.

172
00:08:31.190 –> 00:08:32.049
In the flesh.

173
00:08:32.570 –> 00:08:34.730
Gotta touch them, because you’re not real.

174
00:08:35.090 –> 00:08:38.309
No, everyone’s all huggy and I love it, and it’s so great.

175
00:08:38.429 –> 00:08:39.830
Well, thanks so much, guys, for coming out.

176
00:08:39.950 –> 00:08:39.990
Thank you.

177
00:08:39.990 –> 00:08:40.549
I love it.

178
00:08:41.590 –> 00:08:42.789
Most of that is grass.

179
00:08:44.130 –> 00:08:45.430
Just moving along.

180
00:08:46.130 –> 00:08:47.770
I got two mics, and this is very bizarre.

181
00:08:53.470 –> 00:08:55.010
What’s going on here?

182
00:08:55.010 –> 00:08:55.850
What’s up, Matt?

183
00:08:55.890 –> 00:08:56.510
Josh, how are you?

184
00:08:56.530 –> 00:08:57.050
Squirrely Matt.

185
00:08:57.150 –> 00:08:58.530
You have a lovely shirt on, Josh.

186
00:08:58.590 –> 00:08:59.050
I know.

187
00:08:59.210 –> 00:08:59.650
I’m so squirrely.

188
00:08:59.650 –> 00:09:00.570
Have you seen his shirt?

189
00:09:01.330 –> 00:09:02.850
I’m not familiar about it.

190
00:09:03.270 –> 00:09:05.190
I can’t quite put my finger on it.

191
00:09:05.190 –> 00:09:06.910
When you’re this squirrely, they call you Uncle.

192
00:09:07.050 –> 00:09:07.670
This is true.

193
00:09:08.430 –> 00:09:09.610
It looks a lot like you.

194
00:09:09.610 –> 00:09:11.350
You know it’s one of three, right?

195
00:09:11.370 –> 00:09:12.670
It’s like limited edition.

196
00:09:12.770 –> 00:09:12.790
I know.

197
00:09:12.790 –> 00:09:14.710
It does look a lot like you, too.

198
00:09:15.510 –> 00:09:17.410
I love, like, coasters.

199
00:09:17.430 –> 00:09:18.310
That’s amazing.

200
00:09:20.570 –> 00:09:22.110
You weren’t the first, buddy.

201
00:09:22.170 –> 00:09:23.750
You’re one of the three, and it’s amazing.

202
00:09:23.910 –> 00:09:27.030
And I love that it’s here, and I’m beside the shirt with my…

203
00:09:27.030 –> 00:09:27.850
I’m on a shirt.

204
00:09:28.510 –> 00:09:29.450
That’s fucking weird.

205
00:09:32.910 –> 00:09:34.190
Josh, how’s your trip going so far?

206
00:09:34.830 –> 00:09:35.950
It’s been interesting.

207
00:09:36.050 –> 00:09:36.330
Yeah?

208
00:09:37.210 –> 00:09:41.590
Yeah, I was just explaining to Tanya our fun time coming across the border and

209
00:09:41.590 –> 00:09:45.170
getting to the airport and everybody running like, oh, we’re so excited.

210
00:09:45.710 –> 00:09:47.210
I don’t know how they let you guys across.

211
00:09:47.210 –> 00:09:48.970
I don’t know who was saying it, but someone was talking about…

212
00:09:48.970 –> 00:09:50.450
Yeah, we’re still trying to figure that out, too.

213
00:09:50.550 –> 00:09:53.790
Think about the logistics of that, when a bunch of DJs show up at the border.

214
00:09:54.010 –> 00:09:57.950
None of them have ever been together before, all coming from different states with the

215
00:09:57.950 –> 00:10:00.930
story of, I’m going to a hockey game in Sudbury.

216
00:10:01.350 –> 00:10:02.450
I’ve never met these people.

217
00:10:02.630 –> 00:10:06.090
I’m in the car, and I’m going to travel with them.

218
00:10:06.570 –> 00:10:09.410
And that’s the other part, when they ask where you’re from and where you’re going,

219
00:10:09.490 –> 00:10:11.250
and you’re like, oh, well, I’m from Idaho.

220
00:10:11.310 –> 00:10:12.250
Which one of us?

221
00:10:12.310 –> 00:10:12.390
I’m from Pennsylvania.

222
00:10:12.390 –> 00:10:13.230
I’m from Virginia.

223
00:10:13.230 –> 00:10:15.290
And they’re like, excuse me?

224
00:10:15.550 –> 00:10:17.630
Oh, and we never met before today in person.

225
00:10:18.190 –> 00:10:20.110
There’s no red flags there.

226
00:10:20.370 –> 00:10:20.550
None.

227
00:10:20.570 –> 00:10:21.210
Not a one.

228
00:10:21.490 –> 00:10:22.210
Where are you staying?

229
00:10:23.510 –> 00:10:27.210
The story just gets better and better, but somehow they let you in.

230
00:10:27.570 –> 00:10:28.730
Canada, we welcome everyone.

231
00:10:28.970 –> 00:10:30.510
Getting home might be a challenge, though.

232
00:10:32.010 –> 00:10:34.270
You’ve got to explain that on the way back now.

233
00:10:35.330 –> 00:10:37.430
What am I going to say when you go back across?

234
00:10:37.610 –> 00:10:42.570
If we have the same four U.S. Border Control guards that were there when we came

235
00:10:42.570 –> 00:10:47.170
in, they were there chit-chatting with us, holding people up for five minutes behind

236
00:10:47.170 –> 00:10:48.810
us, because they found it fascinating.

237
00:10:49.470 –> 00:10:53.050
And one of them watches Letter Kenny, and now they want to listen to the podcast.

238
00:10:53.370 –> 00:10:54.870
So you pumped the pot.

239
00:10:55.110 –> 00:10:55.730
We did.

240
00:10:56.370 –> 00:10:57.690
That’s better than I normally do.

241
00:10:58.590 –> 00:11:02.530
Same conversation I had with my Uber driver on the way here.

242
00:11:02.810 –> 00:11:08.170
I was getting giddy in the car as we were getting closer and closer, and I was

243
00:11:08.170 –> 00:11:10.790
like, oh my god, I can’t believe we’re doing this.

244
00:11:10.790 –> 00:11:11.830
He’s like, doing what?

245
00:11:11.830 –> 00:11:17.210
I’m like, oh yeah, I’m meeting people for the first time that are from a podcast

246
00:11:17.210 –> 00:11:19.070
that I met them two years ago.

247
00:11:19.170 –> 00:11:20.850
We’re all getting together for dinner tonight.

248
00:11:20.990 –> 00:11:21.950
He’s like, what?

249
00:11:22.390 –> 00:11:23.710
He’s like, what’s the podcast?

250
00:11:23.810 –> 00:11:25.790
I’m like, yeah, we got a new Mr.

251
00:11:25.790 –> 00:11:26.670
This is my chance.

252
00:11:26.670 –> 00:11:27.610
I can do it.

253
00:11:28.270 –> 00:11:30.890
And the other part of that, too, is you’re only meeting us for dinner.

254
00:11:31.490 –> 00:11:33.250
We’re sharing hotel rooms.

255
00:11:33.530 –> 00:11:34.950
We’re sharing cars.

256
00:11:35.250 –> 00:11:37.950
It is an enormous social experiment here.

257
00:11:37.950 –> 00:11:38.550
It is.

258
00:11:38.770 –> 00:11:41.290
We’re going to have our own version of the sleepover episode.

259
00:11:42.030 –> 00:11:45.270
I think we need to enlist Billy and his crew to follow you guys around for the

260
00:11:45.270 –> 00:11:45.710
next couple days.

261
00:11:46.170 –> 00:11:50.190
I’m just saying, from the amount of onions that were…

262
00:11:50.190 –> 00:11:54.510
You’re going to have a true sleepover experience here of somebody’s going to

263
00:11:54.510 –> 00:11:57.030
rip shots, and you’re going to be like…

264
00:11:57.030 –> 00:12:02.090
If you remember right, though, from the sleepover episode, I believe it was Rosie.

265
00:12:02.410 –> 00:12:02.810
Rosie.

266
00:12:03.030 –> 00:12:04.890
So that’s in the girls’ Airbnb.

267
00:12:05.430 –> 00:12:07.050
Those of us at the hotel, we’re good.

268
00:12:07.050 –> 00:12:07.570
That’s true.

269
00:12:07.870 –> 00:12:10.490
Those at the Raffa Center are in for an OK time.

270
00:12:10.550 –> 00:12:11.590
The other one’s a little questionable.

271
00:12:12.990 –> 00:12:14.090
Great to see you.

272
00:12:14.450 –> 00:12:16.470
What’s your favorite part so far, then?

273
00:12:17.270 –> 00:12:18.210
I haven’t been asking that question.

274
00:12:18.210 –> 00:12:21.170
I don’t know if there’s any one part of it that’s been better than another.

275
00:12:21.770 –> 00:12:22.470
It’s all…

276
00:12:22.470 –> 00:12:27.110
We have laughed practically nonstop since we met up at the airport.

277
00:12:27.810 –> 00:12:31.490
Casey and I were even talking to each other while we were both driving to our

278
00:12:31.490 –> 00:12:32.850
separate airports this morning.

279
00:12:32.850 –> 00:12:37.310
So at 2 o’clock in the morning, we’re talking on the phone as we’re driving to the

280
00:12:37.310 –> 00:12:37.650
airport.

281
00:12:37.730 –> 00:12:38.050
OK.

282
00:12:38.630 –> 00:12:40.250
What does your spouse think?

283
00:12:41.930 –> 00:12:42.370
Well…

284
00:12:42.370 –> 00:12:43.650
How do you say that?

285
00:12:43.690 –> 00:12:45.230
You are better at this than I am.

286
00:12:45.630 –> 00:12:52.390
How do you say to your spouse, OK, so I’m going to go to Canada with a group

287
00:12:52.390 –> 00:12:56.230
of people I’ve never met, and I’m going to stay in a room with them.

288
00:12:57.650 –> 00:13:00.750
So here are the dates, and see you later.

289
00:13:01.370 –> 00:13:01.650
Right?

290
00:13:01.650 –> 00:13:06.530
The funny part about that is I told my wife, I said, hey, a bunch of people from

291
00:13:06.530 –> 00:13:07.870
the podcast are going to Canada.

292
00:13:07.950 –> 00:13:09.010
Do you care if I go along?

293
00:13:09.090 –> 00:13:09.930
She said, no.

294
00:13:10.350 –> 00:13:14.310
At that point, there was no talk about room sharing, but when we were talking

295
00:13:14.310 –> 00:13:15.130
about staying…

296
00:13:16.090 –> 00:13:18.410
Well, when we got to…

297
00:13:18.410 –> 00:13:20.150
And not just between me and her.

298
00:13:20.210 –> 00:13:22.670
In general, nobody was talking about sharing rooms yet.

299
00:13:24.090 –> 00:13:28.190
Then we got to talking about spending the night tonight in Barrie instead of

300
00:13:28.190 –> 00:13:30.450
driving all the way to Sudbury tonight.

301
00:13:31.090 –> 00:13:36.770
So, and what my wife actually said then, because we had one person that said,

302
00:13:36.830 –> 00:13:38.510
I don’t know if I can afford that.

303
00:13:38.810 –> 00:13:41.610
My wife looked at me, and when I read that message to her, she said,

304
00:13:41.730 –> 00:13:44.050
don’t you have an extra bed in your room they could use?

305
00:13:45.010 –> 00:13:46.950
She goes, I trust you.

306
00:13:48.070 –> 00:13:51.010
Because it wasn’t another male that would have been in the room with me either.

307
00:13:52.330 –> 00:13:57.290
So my wife said, she trusts me, and she says, why ruin somebody’s trip

308
00:13:57.290 –> 00:13:58.550
because they don’t have somewhere to stay?

309
00:13:58.550 –> 00:14:00.670
She goes, if you have room, let them stay in your room.

310
00:14:00.870 –> 00:14:02.790
Love it, man. She’s a winner, man.

311
00:14:03.650 –> 00:14:04.350
Love it.

312
00:14:05.010 –> 00:14:06.790
Alright, I’m going to move on, guys. Great seeing you.

313
00:14:06.910 –> 00:14:07.550
See you.

314
00:14:11.300 –> 00:14:12.460
Back to you guys in a second.

315
00:14:18.150 –> 00:14:18.770
How’s it going there, Al?

316
00:14:19.690 –> 00:14:20.630
I’m well, how are you?

317
00:14:20.770 –> 00:14:22.470
Good, and who do you have sitting beside you here?

318
00:14:22.490 –> 00:14:24.750
I have the one and only Billy Buttrey.

319
00:14:24.970 –> 00:14:25.590
Billy Buttrey.

320
00:14:25.590 –> 00:14:27.690
The director of photography on Mother Kenny and Shorty.

321
00:14:27.690 –> 00:14:30.150
Holy shit. Billy, why would you get yourself into this mess?

322
00:14:30.750 –> 00:14:31.790
Well, why not?

323
00:14:32.790 –> 00:14:34.250
So what did you take on this?

324
00:14:34.410 –> 00:14:37.630
Like there’s 15 of us here, scattered from all over the U.S.

325
00:14:37.730 –> 00:14:40.730
that are fans of Letter Kenny, to come to dinner in Ontario

326
00:14:40.730 –> 00:14:41.870
and on their way to Sudbury.

327
00:14:42.070 –> 00:14:43.170
What the fuck is happening?

328
00:14:43.410 –> 00:14:45.250
Well, I was invited to come by Al,

329
00:14:46.110 –> 00:14:48.290
and I thought about it for a few days, and my wife said,

330
00:14:48.450 –> 00:14:49.950
well, go, you should go. You should go.

331
00:14:50.750 –> 00:14:54.450
I waited and waited, and I’m like, oh no, he’s not getting back to me.

332
00:14:54.490 –> 00:14:56.590
And then one day he’s like, yeah, okay, we’ll come.

333
00:14:58.470 –> 00:15:01.190
And then the hardest part was keeping it a secret

334
00:15:01.190 –> 00:15:02.190
because I got all excited.

335
00:15:02.230 –> 00:15:04.370
I wanted to tell people, but…

336
00:15:04.370 –> 00:15:05.210
I didn’t tell anybody.

337
00:15:06.350 –> 00:15:08.210
I didn’t even know. Al doesn’t even tell us shit.

338
00:15:08.230 –> 00:15:08.710
Oh, that’s good.

339
00:15:10.490 –> 00:15:12.690
Like he said, what’s going on? He’s like, don’t you worry.

340
00:15:12.890 –> 00:15:13.970
Yeah, he texted me today.

341
00:15:14.290 –> 00:15:16.630
He was like, you still good? I said, yeah, we’re good.

342
00:15:17.830 –> 00:15:19.650
That’s amazing. We’re so happy you came, man.

343
00:15:19.870 –> 00:15:21.450
Like, this is pretty wild.

344
00:15:21.670 –> 00:15:25.050
I’m pretty amazed that people have come from all over North America.

345
00:15:25.610 –> 00:15:28.830
Like, it’s like, wow, these are die-hard fans

346
00:15:28.830 –> 00:15:30.290
and really, really nice people.

347
00:15:30.290 –> 00:15:33.110
And the interesting thing about tonight is there’s been almost

348
00:15:33.110 –> 00:15:35.330
very minimal letter-canny talk tonight.

349
00:15:35.470 –> 00:15:36.090
They’re just friends.

350
00:15:36.410 –> 00:15:38.510
Like, these people have become genuine friends

351
00:15:38.510 –> 00:15:41.610
and wanted to make the trip centered around the show,

352
00:15:41.610 –> 00:15:43.430
but to just hang out and…

353
00:15:43.430 –> 00:15:44.830
Well, I think it’s just part of the community.

354
00:15:45.570 –> 00:15:47.750
I think there’s a really cool bunch of people

355
00:15:47.750 –> 00:15:49.210
who generally follow the show.

356
00:15:50.230 –> 00:15:51.470
It’s surreal, man.

357
00:15:51.610 –> 00:15:53.970
It’s surreal. So thank you for everything you do, bud.

358
00:15:53.990 –> 00:15:55.550
We love it. We fucking love it.

359
00:15:55.750 –> 00:15:57.110
Al, what’s your take on what’s happening tonight?

360
00:15:57.470 –> 00:15:59.550
It’s unreal. Like, today could have gone better.

361
00:15:59.550 –> 00:16:01.270
Like, everything has been perfect so far.

362
00:16:01.710 –> 00:16:03.390
From when everyone arrived

363
00:16:03.390 –> 00:16:05.450
and we did a quick tour of downtown Toronto.

364
00:16:05.650 –> 00:16:08.630
We went on a walking tour of downtown Toronto

365
00:16:08.630 –> 00:16:11.150
to getting here in time for this amazing meal.

366
00:16:11.710 –> 00:16:14.430
Like, holy, our cooks were engaging

367
00:16:14.430 –> 00:16:16.210
and just amazing.

368
00:16:16.590 –> 00:16:17.650
Like, it was such a great show.

369
00:16:17.850 –> 00:16:21.390
And for the record, I plugged the cast to the cooks.

370
00:16:21.630 –> 00:16:23.370
I don’t normally plug the cast very well,

371
00:16:23.370 –> 00:16:24.830
but I did it tonight, Al.

372
00:16:25.470 –> 00:16:25.950
ABC.

373
00:16:26.350 –> 00:16:28.150
ABC. Always be reppin’.

374
00:16:28.150 –> 00:16:29.090
All right, guys, thanks.

375
00:16:32.440 –> 00:16:33.480
All right, who we got here?

376
00:16:35.980 –> 00:16:36.960
I’m squeezing in here.

377
00:16:37.120 –> 00:16:39.060
I haven’t gotten you two lovely people yet.

378
00:16:39.480 –> 00:16:40.740
This must be where the dicks hang out.

379
00:16:40.740 –> 00:16:43.500
This is where the dicks. We have Adrian and our Robbie.

380
00:16:43.760 –> 00:16:44.140
Hi.

381
00:16:44.320 –> 00:16:46.140
Holy shit, guys. What is going on?

382
00:16:47.700 –> 00:16:48.100
Insanity.

383
00:16:48.280 –> 00:16:52.260
We’re just here with our chosen family of fellow deegins.

384
00:16:52.280 –> 00:16:54.000
I like how you put that, chosen family.

385
00:16:54.140 –> 00:16:54.960
It’s true. I gotta yell that.

386
00:16:55.380 –> 00:16:57.860
So when the guy was asking what we’re doing here,

387
00:16:57.860 –> 00:17:00.580
Casey said family, and I said, I stuttered for a second.

388
00:17:00.600 –> 00:17:01.780
She said, don’t you fucking stutter.

389
00:17:02.200 –> 00:17:03.380
We’re all family here, right?

390
00:17:03.700 –> 00:17:04.220
That’s right.

391
00:17:04.760 –> 00:17:07.599
Al’s the dad, and yeah, we just all go downhill from there.

392
00:17:07.819 –> 00:17:09.140
Crazy, squirrely uncle over here.

393
00:17:10.020 –> 00:17:10.420
Exactly.

394
00:17:10.920 –> 00:17:13.140
Adrian, that is where you’re coming from. You left from where?

395
00:17:13.260 –> 00:17:14.060
I left from Maine.

396
00:17:14.339 –> 00:17:17.460
So my wife took me to the airport a quarter after four this morning.

397
00:17:17.480 –> 00:17:19.160
So not as long day as everybody.

398
00:17:20.000 –> 00:17:21.920
But yeah, starting to feel it.

399
00:17:22.200 –> 00:17:23.900
What’s been your favorite part of the day so far?

400
00:17:25.220 –> 00:17:26.900
Just as soon as I saw

401
00:17:26.900 –> 00:17:29.580
Aaron walk up, it’s just like, you know, you’re just hugging everybody.

402
00:17:30.380 –> 00:17:31.180
It’s like

403
00:17:32.340 –> 00:17:33.440
hanging out with friends from

404
00:17:33.440 –> 00:17:35.780
high school or college that you hadn’t seen for 10 years.

405
00:17:35.840 –> 00:17:36.880
Even though we’ve never met.

406
00:17:37.400 –> 00:17:39.360
But it’s just immediately, it’s like,

407
00:17:39.440 –> 00:17:41.260
you’re bonding. There’s no awkward

408
00:17:41.260 –> 00:17:42.660
like, who are you again?

409
00:17:42.740 –> 00:17:44.520
Or trying to catch up. It’s like you just

410
00:17:44.520 –> 00:17:46.260
turn to your left or turn to your right.

411
00:17:46.380 –> 00:17:47.920
It’s like, we can talk about whatever.

412
00:17:48.560 –> 00:17:51.220
I think you were one of our first guests on the show,

413
00:17:51.240 –> 00:17:53.300
weren’t you? One of the early days.

414
00:17:54.120 –> 00:17:55.240
Maybe not the very first, but early on.

415
00:17:55.240 –> 00:17:57.540
I think I was like season six.

416
00:17:57.540 –> 00:18:00.140
I was a little later, but then

417
00:18:00.140 –> 00:18:01.720
maybe in this crew,

418
00:18:01.760 –> 00:18:03.020
one of the earlier ones.

419
00:18:03.320 –> 00:18:04.520
It was so fun. Yeah.

420
00:18:04.940 –> 00:18:06.520
And Robbie, remind me where you’re coming from again.

421
00:18:06.920 –> 00:18:09.520
North Idaho. What’s been your day like?

422
00:18:10.340 –> 00:18:11.400
It’s been great.

423
00:18:11.840 –> 00:18:13.280
Somehow I’m still standing

424
00:18:13.280 –> 00:18:15.840
with energy. I mean, it’s amazing that any of us are still standing.

425
00:18:15.860 –> 00:18:17.460
I got like an hour and a half of

426
00:18:17.460 –> 00:18:19.400
broken sleep last night. And I have, I think,

427
00:18:19.560 –> 00:18:20.500
more sleep than most.

428
00:18:21.120 –> 00:18:23.640
But I think this is just so

429
00:18:23.640 –> 00:18:25.860
special. We are all super charged.

430
00:18:26.640 –> 00:18:27.700
And I would guess in about two

431
00:18:27.700 –> 00:18:29.500
or three hours, we will all crash hard.

432
00:18:29.740 –> 00:18:31.640
And we will all sleep very, very well.

433
00:18:32.300 –> 00:18:33.680
What’s your other half think of this?

434
00:18:34.060 –> 00:18:35.440
When you said you’re going to Canada

435
00:18:35.440 –> 00:18:37.640
to hang out with a bunch of DJs to go to a hockey

436
00:18:37.640 –> 00:18:39.300
game in Sudbury. We’ve never met.

437
00:18:39.760 –> 00:18:41.700
We’ve never met in person. Yeah.

438
00:18:42.300 –> 00:18:43.660
She loves the idea.

439
00:18:43.900 –> 00:18:45.540
I told her a couple days ago, I said,

440
00:18:45.720 –> 00:18:47.360
I’m starting to feel guilty about leaving.

441
00:18:47.900 –> 00:18:49.560
And she was like, no. She’s like,

442
00:18:49.560 –> 00:18:51.780
I’m so happy you’re going. You get this

443
00:18:51.780 –> 00:18:53.840
opportunity and stuff. And so

444
00:18:53.840 –> 00:18:55.980
she’s, she’s psyched and I’ve been sending her pictures

445
00:18:55.980 –> 00:18:57.500
all day, you know.

446
00:18:57.980 –> 00:18:59.600
More friends, more friends, more friends.

447
00:19:00.640 –> 00:19:01.920
Yeah, the first moment I saw the

448
00:19:01.920 –> 00:19:03.860
photo of you guys all together, I

449
00:19:03.860 –> 00:19:05.740
instantly like FOMO, knowing I’d see you guys

450
00:19:05.740 –> 00:19:07.960
later. I’m like, this is wild that you’ve

451
00:19:07.960 –> 00:19:09.720
all actually made it here. Yeah.

452
00:19:09.740 –> 00:19:11.800
And then this dinner was just so epic. So,

453
00:19:11.920 –> 00:19:13.960
I’m so happy. What did your wifey

454
00:19:13.960 –> 00:19:15.140
think of you taking off to Canada?

455
00:19:15.960 –> 00:19:17.880
I don’t know. I randomly

456
00:19:17.880 –> 00:19:19.900
take road trips to go, oh, I’m going to

457
00:19:19.900 –> 00:19:22.240
go like eight hours to go see this show

458
00:19:22.240 –> 00:19:23.980
and drive back the next night. So, this was

459
00:19:23.980 –> 00:19:25.780
almost like a continuation of this.

460
00:19:25.860 –> 00:19:27.700
I wasn’t on board right away. Yeah.

461
00:19:27.740 –> 00:19:29.900
Because I’ve been looking for work. So, I’m like, well, maybe I’ll

462
00:19:29.900 –> 00:19:32.040
get a job. And then eventually it was like, ah, fuck it.

463
00:19:32.100 –> 00:19:33.080
I’m just going to do it. I’m just going to go.

464
00:19:33.620 –> 00:19:35.660
I’m so glad everyone came, man. What a night.

465
00:19:35.680 –> 00:19:37.560
This is amazing. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

466
00:19:37.760 –> 00:19:39.720
I’m going to continue the rounds, but great seeing

467
00:19:39.720 –> 00:19:44.130
you guys. There is

468
00:19:44.130 –> 00:19:45.450
a hibachi party in the background.

469
00:19:46.130 –> 00:19:48.170
I’ve got to get Casey here. I haven’t seen Casey yet.

470
00:19:53.480 –> 00:19:54.280
Hi, Casey.

471
00:19:54.900 –> 00:19:56.440
Hi, Matt. How are you now?

472
00:19:56.780 –> 00:19:58.840
Good and you? Not so bad. Do you know

473
00:19:58.840 –> 00:20:00.460
where you are? Yeah, I’m in Canada.

474
00:20:01.660 –> 00:20:02.960
What the fuck are you doing here?

475
00:20:03.140 –> 00:20:05.060
I bought a ticket to a hockey game

476
00:20:05.060 –> 00:20:07.000
and then a bunch of other people

477
00:20:07.000 –> 00:20:08.680
bought tickets to that same hockey game

478
00:20:08.680 –> 00:20:10.560
and then we all ended up here.

479
00:20:10.940 –> 00:20:13.040
So, you’re essentially the catalyst

480
00:20:13.040 –> 00:20:14.860
that created this. I’m not the

481
00:20:14.860 –> 00:20:16.940
complete catalyst. I had my

482
00:20:16.940 –> 00:20:18.060
own little inspiration.

483
00:20:19.000 –> 00:20:20.840
One of the DM members

484
00:20:21.620 –> 00:20:23.100
she was buying a ticket

485
00:20:23.640 –> 00:20:25.880
and I said, I’ll buy a ticket. I’ll support the

486
00:20:25.880 –> 00:20:27.740
Sudbury Wolves and then it just

487
00:20:28.300 –> 00:20:29.680
I don’t know how it happened.

488
00:20:29.820 –> 00:20:32.000
It’s one of those things where if you ask me to recount

489
00:20:32.500 –> 00:20:33.780
point to point to point

490
00:20:34.560 –> 00:20:36.220
in what order how things happen

491
00:20:36.220 –> 00:20:37.840
I wouldn’t be able to. It got away from me really quick,

492
00:20:37.880 –> 00:20:39.500
but look where we are. I just bought a ticket.

493
00:20:39.680 –> 00:20:41.020
I just bought a ticket to a hockey game.

494
00:20:44.340 –> 00:20:45.820
It’s literally how this went down.

495
00:20:45.880 –> 00:20:47.860
You put a ticket to a hockey game. And told people

496
00:20:47.860 –> 00:20:49.580
and said, hey, I got a ticket to a hockey game.

497
00:20:50.600 –> 00:20:52.820
Let’s go. Let’s get plane tickets. We’re all going.

498
00:20:53.040 –> 00:20:54.800
I love it. You start at the end and work your way

499
00:20:54.800 –> 00:20:56.260
backwards and here we are. Yeah.

500
00:20:56.260 –> 00:20:58.200
What’s been the highlight of the day so far?

501
00:21:01.340 –> 00:21:03.240
It seems like Billy would be the easy

502
00:21:03.960 –> 00:21:05.180
the easy like

503
00:21:05.180 –> 00:21:07.180
that’s the best part of the day, but it’s

504
00:21:07.180 –> 00:21:08.020
sorry Billy.

505
00:21:09.060 –> 00:21:10.680
Shit. I’m going to regret this. It’s okay.

506
00:21:11.060 –> 00:21:13.240
Sorry Billy. It’s not. Billy’s amazing. I won’t tell him.

507
00:21:13.520 –> 00:21:15.100
But, like

508
00:21:15.100 –> 00:21:16.920
seeing you guys for the first time

509
00:21:16.920 –> 00:21:19.100
like you and Tanya and

510
00:21:19.100 –> 00:21:21.060
Al and then just

511
00:21:21.060 –> 00:21:23.060
Bobby and John like just seeing

512
00:21:23.060 –> 00:21:24.820
people is

513
00:21:25.780 –> 00:21:27.040
surreal. Like if you

514
00:21:27.040 –> 00:21:29.240
would ask me two years ago, would I envision myself

515
00:21:29.240 –> 00:21:31.140
sitting down to dinner with a bunch of people I

516
00:21:31.140 –> 00:21:33.060
barely know. Barely. And never met

517
00:21:33.060 –> 00:21:35.120
in person. Right. And

518
00:21:35.940 –> 00:21:37.080
like we all know

519
00:21:37.080 –> 00:21:38.880
each other like we’re best friends. Right.

520
00:21:39.500 –> 00:21:41.340
It’s the weirdest thing to see people

521
00:21:41.340 –> 00:21:43.140
who you’ve never met in person and feel

522
00:21:43.140 –> 00:21:45.120
like you know them already. Like I

523
00:21:45.120 –> 00:21:46.960
was expecting awkwardness. I was expecting

524
00:21:46.960 –> 00:21:48.880
like a period of adjustment. But none of that.

525
00:21:49.500 –> 00:21:50.460
Zero things.

526
00:21:50.880 –> 00:21:52.680
Hey what’s up? Hey cool. How was your trip? What’s up?

527
00:21:52.680 –> 00:21:54.620
How long has it been since we’ve seen each other?

528
00:21:55.140 –> 00:21:56.620
Oh last week on Zoom. Yeah.

529
00:21:56.920 –> 00:21:57.400
That’s good.

530
00:21:58.920 –> 00:22:00.900
Right? Like that’s the reality

531
00:22:00.900 –> 00:22:03.060
but the other reality

532
00:22:03.060 –> 00:22:04.640
the other side of the coin is

533
00:22:04.640 –> 00:22:07.100
we have never been in each other’s

534
00:22:07.100 –> 00:22:08.920
presence. And this is

535
00:22:08.920 –> 00:22:10.800
totally different than being online together.

536
00:22:11.340 –> 00:22:13.380
It shows you the power of

537
00:22:13.380 –> 00:22:15.040
the internet, of communication

538
00:22:15.040 –> 00:22:16.980
all that sort of shit and

539
00:22:16.980 –> 00:22:18.840
just genuine people come together

540
00:22:18.840 –> 00:22:20.600
and you end up in a moment like this.

541
00:22:21.560 –> 00:22:23.020
I hate Kelly Clarkson.

542
00:22:26.140 –> 00:22:27.360
Is that a song? Is that one of her songs?

543
00:22:27.420 –> 00:22:29.040
A moment like this. I didn’t take that.

544
00:22:29.040 –> 00:22:31.340
Do you like that crack? I would have taken that

545
00:22:31.340 –> 00:22:33.420
but I’ll take it. Yeah. No you don’t know Kelly Clarkson

546
00:22:33.420 –> 00:22:35.100
in a moment like this? I know who she is. I’m not a fan.

547
00:22:35.640 –> 00:22:36.960
Let’s put it that way. You heard it Kelly.

548
00:22:37.220 –> 00:22:38.960
You heard it here first. He’s not a fan.

549
00:22:40.120 –> 00:22:40.760
It’s alright.

550
00:22:41.100 –> 00:22:43.620
No this has been amazing. I catch the last two minutes of her show

551
00:22:43.620 –> 00:22:45.560
almost every day because she’s

552
00:22:45.560 –> 00:22:46.480
on right before the news.

553
00:22:47.360 –> 00:22:48.700
That’s like the most dad thing

554
00:22:48.700 –> 00:22:50.520
you’ve said so far.

555
00:22:50.660 –> 00:22:52.320
Yeah pretty much. Yeah I’m really

556
00:22:54.850 –> 00:22:55.990
yeah I’m rarely

557
00:22:55.990 –> 00:22:57.690
speechless. Well thanks for coming.

558
00:22:57.950 –> 00:22:59.790
Well thanks for doing

559
00:22:59.790 –> 00:23:01.890
work tonight finally. I know.

560
00:23:02.290 –> 00:23:04.150
I’m finally working on the podcast. I have more than one

561
00:23:04.150 –> 00:23:06.130
job now. I have one more. This is

562
00:23:06.130 –> 00:23:08.210
weird. I have like two ice cream cones in my hand

563
00:23:08.210 –> 00:23:09.510
and I don’t know how to work them.

564
00:23:12.340 –> 00:23:13.660
For those of you who don’t

565
00:23:13.660 –> 00:23:15.760
get the visual. We were faking

566
00:23:15.760 –> 00:23:16.660
two handed blow jobs. I was seeing.

567
00:23:18.220 –> 00:23:19.740
You’re going to go that route eh?

568
00:23:20.600 –> 00:23:22.060
Well she took it to the other side.

569
00:23:22.060 –> 00:23:23.300
It’s Thursday night.

570
00:23:23.680 –> 00:23:24.660
Thursday Thursday.

571
00:23:25.440 –> 00:23:26.800
We’re hanging out at the produce table.

572
00:23:26.840 –> 00:23:29.180
This is the alternative tonight and it’s way better

573
00:23:29.180 –> 00:23:31.200
than the other one. Normally I’m

574
00:23:31.200 –> 00:23:32.420
sick. This must be crazy for you too.

575
00:23:32.480 –> 00:23:34.840
Just as a host to have like your

576
00:23:34.840 –> 00:23:37.140
fans. I don’t even

577
00:23:37.140 –> 00:23:38.680
be. It’s weird. I know you don’t.

578
00:23:38.820 –> 00:23:40.620
But we were at one point. I know.

579
00:23:40.860 –> 00:23:42.620
Even if we aren’t now. We were.

580
00:23:42.700 –> 00:23:44.690
It’s bizarre. Like I still like

581
00:23:44.690 –> 00:23:46.310
We joke all the time looking back when this thing started.

582
00:23:46.310 –> 00:23:48.730
You guys are like fucking normies. You’re like your normal

583
00:23:48.730 –> 00:23:50.450
people. You’re not like celebrities.

584
00:23:50.690 –> 00:23:52.190
No. But you’re our celebrities.

585
00:23:52.210 –> 00:23:54.350
We’re just people literally who were friends.

586
00:23:54.630 –> 00:23:56.630
Who sat around and started. And I think you guys

587
00:23:56.630 –> 00:23:58.730
a lot of you called it early on. It’s like hanging out with

588
00:23:58.730 –> 00:24:00.210
friends. Cause that’s all we’re doing.

589
00:24:00.610 –> 00:24:02.630
Literally. And talking. We just posted

590
00:24:02.630 –> 00:24:04.670
online and then invited everyone in to

591
00:24:04.670 –> 00:24:06.870
join us. And that was when the show got awesome.

592
00:24:07.190 –> 00:24:08.730
Was when we started inviting everyone

593
00:24:08.730 –> 00:24:10.490
in. Yeah. And it’s yeah.

594
00:24:10.910 –> 00:24:12.250
Well now you guys should be

595
00:24:12.250 –> 00:24:13.610
You guys should

596
00:24:14.250 –> 00:24:15.170
I don’t know.

597
00:24:16.090 –> 00:24:18.410
I’m beside myself. And it came

598
00:24:18.410 –> 00:24:19.870
at a time in my life where

599
00:24:19.870 –> 00:24:22.150
I was losing

600
00:24:22.150 –> 00:24:24.470
a friend who understood me in a way

601
00:24:24.470 –> 00:24:26.330
that I didn’t think I’d been understood

602
00:24:26.330 –> 00:24:28.330
before. And as soon

603
00:24:28.330 –> 00:24:29.310
as that ended

604
00:24:30.110 –> 00:24:32.310
it was like you guys

605
00:24:32.310 –> 00:24:33.990
rose up to fill that space.

606
00:24:34.630 –> 00:24:36.230
But in a much

607
00:24:36.230 –> 00:24:36.990
better way.

608
00:24:38.810 –> 00:24:40.330
That relationship at that time

609
00:24:40.330 –> 00:24:42.350
was over. But it sort of laid the foundation for me

610
00:24:42.350 –> 00:24:44.210
being able to connect with you guys in this way.

611
00:24:44.310 –> 00:24:46.350
Because we are like

612
00:24:46.350 –> 00:24:48.230
family. And Tanya said this.

613
00:24:48.410 –> 00:24:50.290
But we all get

614
00:24:50.290 –> 00:24:52.150
each other. We look each other in the eye.

615
00:24:52.470 –> 00:24:54.410
And we have the same

616
00:24:54.410 –> 00:24:56.510
such humor. We just know each other.

617
00:24:56.650 –> 00:24:58.130
You and I laughed through all dinner.

618
00:25:00.070 –> 00:25:00.450
I thought I was

619
00:25:00.450 –> 00:25:02.170
going to be all nervous meeting you guys.

620
00:25:02.630 –> 00:25:03.670
And I was just like

621
00:25:04.570 –> 00:25:05.630
wow it’s Tanya.

622
00:25:06.670 –> 00:25:08.370
It’s great. It’s just great to be

623
00:25:08.370 –> 00:25:10.310
with you guys. Yeah. I totally agree.

624
00:25:10.450 –> 00:25:12.210
Heck with every bit of that. And I hope you guys

625
00:25:12.210 –> 00:25:13.710
have an awesome weekend up in Sudbury.

626
00:25:14.030 –> 00:25:15.150
Sudbury Saturday night?

627
00:25:15.830 –> 00:25:18.090
Alright I gotta finish. I gotta say hi to Carmel here.

628
00:25:22.470 –> 00:25:23.830
I have to jump in for a second Carmel.

629
00:25:24.570 –> 00:25:25.610
We have the lovely

630
00:25:25.610 –> 00:25:27.130
Carmel Buttery here.

631
00:25:27.430 –> 00:25:29.570
Came along Billy. Carmel what do you think

632
00:25:29.570 –> 00:25:31.730
of all this? I love it.

633
00:25:32.010 –> 00:25:33.030
I love it. Cause

634
00:25:36.390 –> 00:25:38.030
Billy’s been you know

635
00:25:38.030 –> 00:25:39.650
the community that

636
00:25:41.290 –> 00:25:41.690
working

637
00:25:41.690 –> 00:25:43.790
on this show has been like a community.

638
00:25:44.470 –> 00:25:45.790
And to now see

639
00:25:45.790 –> 00:25:47.510
this community

640
00:25:47.510 –> 00:25:49.350
that traveled so many miles.

641
00:25:50.150 –> 00:25:50.970
All in one place.

642
00:25:52.050 –> 00:25:53.930
Like he said it’s just unbelievable.

643
00:25:54.910 –> 00:25:55.850
It really warms

644
00:25:55.850 –> 00:25:57.510
his heart. But me also.

645
00:25:58.090 –> 00:25:59.830
I’ve never met these people and I feel like

646
00:25:59.830 –> 00:26:01.490
I’ve known them forever. And that’s it right?

647
00:26:01.550 –> 00:26:03.150
Instantly. We all said the same thing.

648
00:26:03.510 –> 00:26:05.750
We hang out on Zoom calls and things like that

649
00:26:05.750 –> 00:26:07.530
and they join our show but

650
00:26:07.530 –> 00:26:09.510
there was zero awkwardness. It was like

651
00:26:09.510 –> 00:26:11.730
everyone just are amazing people.

652
00:26:12.170 –> 00:26:13.610
That this show clearly

653
00:26:13.610 –> 00:26:14.890
cultivates amazing people.

654
00:26:15.150 –> 00:26:17.090
Yeah and I felt that

655
00:26:17.090 –> 00:26:19.510
once I started reading all the

656
00:26:20.690 –> 00:26:21.230
feedback

657
00:26:21.230 –> 00:26:23.710
from Americans I was like oh my god.

658
00:26:24.050 –> 00:26:25.950
Like we are the same community.

659
00:26:26.470 –> 00:26:26.730
You know?

660
00:26:27.050 –> 00:26:28.970
It’s like Letter Kimmy

661
00:26:28.970 –> 00:26:31.370
brought that together.

662
00:26:32.010 –> 00:26:33.250
There’s this whole community

663
00:26:33.250 –> 00:26:34.690
like as Canadians.

664
00:26:34.690 –> 00:26:37.090
Yeah absolutely. And I’m gonna put

665
00:26:37.090 –> 00:26:38.610
Are you a fan of the show too?

666
00:26:39.190 –> 00:26:41.050
Oh totally. Yes. What’s your favorite episode?

667
00:26:41.970 –> 00:26:43.130
Well I was

668
00:26:43.130 –> 00:26:45.230
just saying how I taped a show

669
00:26:45.230 –> 00:26:46.770
but when I went to watch it

670
00:26:46.770 –> 00:26:49.590
it wasn’t the show. It was the Letter Kimmy.

671
00:26:49.650 –> 00:26:51.170
And it’s

672
00:26:51.170 –> 00:26:52.270
the one where

673
00:26:52.870 –> 00:26:55.510
they go and they beat up

674
00:26:55.510 –> 00:26:57.230
they find out that

675
00:26:58.050 –> 00:26:58.570
Michelle

676
00:26:59.090 –> 00:27:00.990
Dirks? When they go beat up Dirks? Yes.

677
00:27:01.290 –> 00:27:03.310
But before that they’re all

678
00:27:03.310 –> 00:27:04.630
sitting outside the pub.

679
00:27:04.630 –> 00:27:06.110
Yeah. And the

680
00:27:07.230 –> 00:27:08.970
McMurray? McMurray’s

681
00:27:08.970 –> 00:27:10.430
oh my god.

682
00:27:11.310 –> 00:27:12.530
And I’d seen it like

683
00:27:12.530 –> 00:27:14.610
three or four times in the last couple

684
00:27:14.610 –> 00:27:16.630
of years. But all of a sudden

685
00:27:16.630 –> 00:27:18.570
I’m watching it at 6.30 in the morning and

686
00:27:18.570 –> 00:27:20.450
I just can’t get over

687
00:27:20.450 –> 00:27:22.090
how fucking funny they are.

688
00:27:22.410 –> 00:27:24.670
It’s unbelievable. And I worked with

689
00:27:24.670 –> 00:27:26.350
that actor. She was on

690
00:27:26.350 –> 00:27:28.030
Bad Blood. Oh yes.

691
00:27:28.170 –> 00:27:29.890
She played the mafia

692
00:27:31.090 –> 00:27:33.030
one of the mafia’s

693
00:27:33.030 –> 00:27:33.970
and

694
00:27:35.350 –> 00:27:37.450
I’ve seen her in other roles.

695
00:27:39.470 –> 00:27:39.950
But

696
00:27:40.690 –> 00:27:41.330
Ms.

697
00:27:41.550 –> 00:27:41.810
Murray.

698
00:27:42.150 –> 00:27:45.690
She does it so

699
00:27:45.690 –> 00:27:47.410
well. I’ve seen people

700
00:27:47.410 –> 00:27:49.110
like that. I have relatives

701
00:27:49.110 –> 00:27:50.790
that behave like that. I want to know them.

702
00:27:51.630 –> 00:27:53.010
Oh yeah. They’re so fun.

703
00:27:53.270 –> 00:27:55.450
The two of them playing off each other.

704
00:27:55.750 –> 00:27:56.970
It was brilliant.

705
00:27:57.070 –> 00:27:59.530
And that’s what I find about the show.

706
00:28:00.070 –> 00:28:01.090
Like how

707
00:28:01.090 –> 00:28:03.370
brilliant. Like Jared’s

708
00:28:03.370 –> 00:28:04.930
mind. It’s unreal.

709
00:28:05.090 –> 00:28:06.990
We always talk about when people try to get

710
00:28:06.990 –> 00:28:08.990
me to describe Letter County I’m like I don’t know

711
00:28:08.990 –> 00:28:11.030
how to because it’s so truly

712
00:28:11.030 –> 00:28:13.070
unique. And I’ve never

713
00:28:13.070 –> 00:28:15.090
seen anything like it. And if you

714
00:28:15.090 –> 00:28:17.190
just glance at it you could pass by pretty

715
00:28:17.190 –> 00:28:19.130
quick. But as soon as you give it a try

716
00:28:19.130 –> 00:28:21.050
you realize what’s happening and the dialogue

717
00:28:21.050 –> 00:28:23.350
and the brilliance behind it. And you realize

718
00:28:23.350 –> 00:28:25.510
how amazing it really is.

719
00:28:27.490 –> 00:28:27.590
And

720
00:28:27.590 –> 00:28:29.290
the fact that

721
00:28:29.290 –> 00:28:31.590
it’s unique and amazing.

722
00:28:31.970 –> 00:28:33.110
You have to find me out.

723
00:28:33.390 –> 00:28:35.150
There’s so many American fans.

724
00:28:35.430 –> 00:28:37.230
Obviously it’s not

725
00:28:37.230 –> 00:28:39.530
that unique. It’s like every

726
00:28:39.530 –> 00:28:41.370
small town I think

727
00:28:45.650 –> 00:28:47.770
and not necessarily

728
00:28:47.770 –> 00:28:49.050
small town

729
00:28:49.050 –> 00:28:50.430
but community.

730
00:28:51.370 –> 00:28:53.250
And I think when you have a community

731
00:28:53.250 –> 00:28:55.410
when you grown up in a

732
00:28:55.410 –> 00:28:55.950
community

733
00:28:55.950 –> 00:28:56.510
that

734
00:28:57.310 –> 00:28:59.130
even if it’s in a big city

735
00:28:59.130 –> 00:29:01.770
you have a community relationship

736
00:29:01.770 –> 00:29:02.630
with it.

737
00:29:03.590 –> 00:29:05.350
That’s what it is all over the world.

738
00:29:05.710 –> 00:29:07.690
It may not all be the same but

739
00:29:07.690 –> 00:29:09.270
it all resonates. Exactly.

740
00:29:10.150 –> 00:29:11.990
Just the community of it.

741
00:29:12.250 –> 00:29:14.370
And I think that’s what the show

742
00:29:14.370 –> 00:29:15.050
shows.

743
00:29:16.250 –> 00:29:18.070
And the show

744
00:29:18.070 –> 00:29:19.850
has been produced

745
00:29:20.590 –> 00:29:21.130
and

746
00:29:22.090 –> 00:29:23.190
recorded, filmed

747
00:29:24.230 –> 00:29:25.490
by a group

748
00:29:25.490 –> 00:29:27.150
that’s a community.

749
00:29:27.690 –> 00:29:28.210
And they all get it.

750
00:29:29.970 –> 00:29:31.330
I find it

751
00:29:31.330 –> 00:29:32.430
shows on the screen.

752
00:29:35.730 –> 00:29:37.390
it’s the kind of thing

753
00:29:38.310 –> 00:29:39.490
they get it.

754
00:29:39.970 –> 00:29:41.910
I don’t know how they keep up with their own banter.

755
00:29:42.250 –> 00:29:42.870
Well exactly.

756
00:29:43.190 –> 00:29:43.890
That’s my point.

757
00:29:44.590 –> 00:29:46.550
That’s why it works because

758
00:29:48.510 –> 00:29:49.290
they hit

759
00:29:49.290 –> 00:29:50.330
their mark and bark.

760
00:29:51.290 –> 00:29:52.350
It’s so true.

761
00:29:52.890 –> 00:29:53.050
Because

762
00:29:54.130 –> 00:29:55.890
when you’re so into something

763
00:29:55.890 –> 00:29:58.110
and it’s great, it all

764
00:29:58.110 –> 00:29:58.730
works.

765
00:30:00.830 –> 00:30:02.570
And the fact

766
00:30:02.570 –> 00:30:04.670
that they shoot it in such

767
00:30:04.670 –> 00:30:05.530
short hours

768
00:30:06.530 –> 00:30:08.070
it’s unheard of.

769
00:30:08.590 –> 00:30:10.270
Only in France

770
00:30:10.270 –> 00:30:12.430
is it a 10 hour day.

771
00:30:15.450 –> 00:30:18.290
And I think the way it’s shot

772
00:30:18.290 –> 00:30:20.250
they’re not doing close ups.

773
00:30:20.530 –> 00:30:21.950
They’re doing ensembles.

774
00:30:22.890 –> 00:30:24.550
That’s how you sell comedy.

775
00:30:25.090 –> 00:30:26.470
We always talk about the

776
00:30:26.470 –> 00:30:27.190
shot selections.

777
00:30:28.550 –> 00:30:30.010
Your man is brilliant behind

778
00:30:30.010 –> 00:30:30.670
the DOP.

779
00:30:32.070 –> 00:30:34.290
We’ve always talked about

780
00:30:35.830 –> 00:30:36.650
the sky.

781
00:30:37.670 –> 00:30:38.450
The environment

782
00:30:38.450 –> 00:30:40.690
is like a character

783
00:30:40.690 –> 00:30:41.490
in the show.

784
00:30:42.890 –> 00:30:43.750
I like that.

785
00:30:43.830 –> 00:30:45.090
That’s a really good description of that.

786
00:30:45.090 –> 00:30:46.910
You’re 100% spot on.

787
00:30:47.550 –> 00:30:48.270
Thank you.

788
00:30:48.290 –> 00:30:50.870
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you guys came out tonight.

789
00:30:51.170 –> 00:30:52.990
This is so special for us.

790
00:30:52.990 –> 00:30:53.650
Thank you for having us.

791
00:30:55.070 –> 00:30:56.550
I can’t believe.

792
00:30:56.830 –> 00:30:59.190
I thought it was a couple of people from

793
00:30:59.750 –> 00:31:01.230
a little far away

794
00:31:01.230 –> 00:31:01.930
from Buffalo.

795
00:31:02.670 –> 00:31:03.990
As far as California.

796
00:31:04.750 –> 00:31:06.170
Do you know the California story?

797
00:31:07.690 –> 00:31:09.290
Awesome is what we call her.

798
00:31:10.010 –> 00:31:10.890
Her ticket

799
00:31:10.890 –> 00:31:11.950
from what I understand

800
00:31:12.650 –> 00:31:13.010
was

801
00:31:13.670 –> 00:31:16.030
she was helped out by her friend up in Sudbury.

802
00:31:16.190 –> 00:31:17.910
So there’s another listener of ours in the show in

803
00:31:17.910 –> 00:31:19.770
Sudbury who

804
00:31:20.170 –> 00:31:21.570
gave her air miles or something.

805
00:31:21.670 –> 00:31:24.010
Said, I’m going to fly you up here so you can be a part of all this.

806
00:31:24.190 –> 00:31:24.750
And helped her out.

807
00:31:25.750 –> 00:31:26.750
That’s the kind of community.

808
00:31:26.910 –> 00:31:28.530
That’s the kind of vibe of the people here.

809
00:31:29.290 –> 00:31:30.010
It’s unreal.

810
00:31:32.270 –> 00:31:33.350
That’s the other thing.

811
00:31:33.930 –> 00:31:35.030
I was reading

812
00:31:36.310 –> 00:31:37.030
on Twitter

813
00:31:38.110 –> 00:31:40.030
after they started

814
00:31:40.030 –> 00:31:41.370
going back

815
00:31:42.430 –> 00:31:43.390
the cast

816
00:31:43.890 –> 00:31:45.970
was able to go back

817
00:31:45.970 –> 00:31:48.030
and do

818
00:31:48.030 –> 00:31:48.830
live shows.

819
00:31:50.090 –> 00:31:51.550
All the people were like,

820
00:31:51.830 –> 00:31:53.630
I can’t believe you got to see them live.

821
00:31:53.790 –> 00:31:55.470
I’ve got tickets for next week.

822
00:31:56.750 –> 00:31:57.710
From rappers

823
00:31:57.710 –> 00:31:59.030
to you know.

824
00:31:59.750 –> 00:32:02.090
We did a whole episode just on the live

825
00:32:02.090 –> 00:32:04.110
shows. We didn’t get to see any because they didn’t come to

826
00:32:04.110 –> 00:32:05.910
Canada. But every one of our listeners who

827
00:32:05.910 –> 00:32:07.410
attended one we invited out.

828
00:32:07.410 –> 00:32:09.670
We had something like 20 people come out

829
00:32:09.670 –> 00:32:11.730
and they all showed their personal stories

830
00:32:11.730 –> 00:32:13.110
about their experiences.

831
00:32:13.310 –> 00:32:14.230
It was unreal.

832
00:32:14.910 –> 00:32:16.530
How much they loved it.

833
00:32:16.850 –> 00:32:19.750
I said to Billy, what are they doing?

834
00:32:19.930 –> 00:32:20.890
What kind of show are they doing?

835
00:32:23.190 –> 00:32:24.330
How do you do it live?

836
00:32:27.050 –> 00:32:28.790
People would ask

837
00:32:29.150 –> 00:32:30.930
on Twitter whoever was posting.

838
00:32:31.730 –> 00:32:32.690
What do they do?

839
00:32:33.690 –> 00:32:35.150
It’s just too funny.

840
00:32:35.150 –> 00:32:36.310
It’s just too funny.

841
00:32:38.780 –> 00:32:40.000
I thought he was taking it away.

842
00:32:44.240 –> 00:32:46.840
This is like the

843
00:32:46.840 –> 00:32:47.660
chef’s kiss.

844
00:32:48.820 –> 00:32:49.840
To see this group.

845
00:32:50.790 –> 00:32:51.840
It’s something special.

846
00:32:52.600 –> 00:32:54.220
I’m glad you guys came on and joined us.

847
00:32:54.700 –> 00:32:55.540
Thank you.

848
00:32:56.640 –> 00:32:58.360
We’ll chat soon.

849
00:33:01.820 –> 00:33:03.300
We’ve done the whole round

850
00:33:03.300 –> 00:33:04.040
Robin here.

851
00:33:04.580 –> 00:33:06.240
I am going to go find

852
00:33:06.720 –> 00:33:07.200
Al.

853
00:33:09.860 –> 00:33:10.340
Al?

854
00:33:15.500 –> 00:33:16.300
Any closing

855
00:33:16.300 –> 00:33:17.980
words before I shut this down for now?

856
00:33:19.380 –> 00:33:20.340
You know I’m going to

857
00:33:20.340 –> 00:33:21.800
probably say something to everybody.

858
00:33:21.820 –> 00:33:22.380
Do you want to take it then?

859
00:33:24.240 –> 00:33:25.700
We’ll shut that down for now.

860
00:33:28.400 –> 00:33:30.140
I was going to say something to

861
00:33:30.140 –> 00:33:30.860
everyone so maybe

862
00:33:30.860 –> 00:33:31.660
here.

863
00:33:36.590 –> 00:33:37.400
Everyone’s here right?

864
00:33:39.060 –> 00:33:40.820
I just want to say

865
00:33:40.820 –> 00:33:43.060
thank you so much for everyone

866
00:33:43.060 –> 00:33:44.780
who made today amazing.

867
00:33:45.640 –> 00:33:46.700
It couldn’t have gone better.

868
00:33:47.040 –> 00:33:48.120
Today was a perfect day.

869
00:33:48.740 –> 00:33:50.060
From meeting you guys at the airport

870
00:33:50.060 –> 00:33:51.760
to touring downtown Toronto

871
00:33:51.760 –> 00:33:54.440
to being here at the great meal and show

872
00:33:54.440 –> 00:33:56.680
we watched. To Billy and Carvel

873
00:33:56.680 –> 00:33:57.680
joining us tonight.

874
00:33:57.680 –> 00:33:59.080
Thank you so much.

875
00:34:00.960 –> 00:34:01.620
You don’t understand

876
00:34:01.620 –> 00:34:02.980
how much this means to me.

877
00:34:03.120 –> 00:34:04.920
I’m sure to Matt and to Tanya

878
00:34:04.920 –> 00:34:06.480
and if Victor were here.

879
00:34:07.060 –> 00:34:08.080
We love you Victor.

880
00:34:08.860 –> 00:34:11.199
He would have brought a hippo for sure.

881
00:34:12.120 –> 00:34:13.260
He would have brought his biggest

882
00:34:13.260 –> 00:34:13.920
hippo.

883
00:34:15.739 –> 00:34:17.500
We’re here because we all

884
00:34:17.500 –> 00:34:19.699
have a common love for two shows

885
00:34:19.699 –> 00:34:21.760
now and that Billy’s

886
00:34:21.760 –> 00:34:23.159
involved in. Thank you Billy

887
00:34:23.679 –> 00:34:25.060
for being part of that.

888
00:34:25.060 –> 00:34:27.040

889
00:34:27.040 –> 00:34:29.060
our thanks with

890
00:34:29.940 –> 00:34:30.780
Jared and

891
00:34:30.780 –> 00:34:31.400
everybody.

892
00:34:33.380 –> 00:34:35.080
And for you guys

893
00:34:35.080 –> 00:34:36.840
here. So Tanya and I

894
00:34:36.840 –> 00:34:39.219
well mostly Tanya.

895
00:34:41.800 –> 00:34:43.239
We have a gift

896
00:34:43.239 –> 00:34:44.440
for everyone here.

897
00:34:45.460 –> 00:34:46.980
Tanya sewed all of these

898
00:34:46.980 –> 00:34:47.460
on.

899
00:34:49.020 –> 00:34:50.860
She did this last month

900
00:34:50.860 –> 00:34:51.500
last week.

901
00:34:52.139 –> 00:34:52.699
So

902
00:34:53.840 –> 00:34:55.719
it’s a photo stand scarf.

903
00:34:57.980 –> 00:34:59.780
This is to remind you guys

904
00:34:59.780 –> 00:35:00.580
of this weekend.

905
00:35:02.080 –> 00:35:03.460
So get back to it fondly.

906
00:35:03.600 –> 00:35:05.360
I feel like we’re on Okra’s favorite things.

907
00:35:05.980 –> 00:35:07.200
Thank you.

908
00:35:07.260 –> 00:35:08.520
Thank you.

909
00:35:14.260 –> 00:35:15.600
And feel free

910
00:35:15.600 –> 00:35:17.200
to wear them in Sudbury.

911
00:35:21.500 –> 00:35:22.320
Thank you.

912
00:35:22.320 –> 00:35:25.340
Thank you

913
00:35:25.340 –> 00:35:27.560
for sewing your poor makeup.

914
00:35:28.340 –> 00:35:29.340
Thank you.

915
00:35:31.980 –> 00:35:33.260
Everybody have a scarf.

916
00:35:34.120 –> 00:35:34.720
Erin do you have a scarf?

917
00:35:36.300 –> 00:35:37.260
Erin needs a scarf.

918
00:35:37.800 –> 00:35:39.360
These are amazing you guys.

919
00:35:39.820 –> 00:35:40.120
Thank you.

920
00:35:42.640 –> 00:35:43.640
Thank you so

921
00:35:43.640 –> 00:35:45.420
much. And maybe we’ll do this again

922
00:35:45.420 –> 00:35:46.020
another year.

923
00:35:47.820 –> 00:35:49.520
I’d hate to say let’s make it an annual

924
00:35:49.520 –> 00:35:51.040
thing. It’s up to you guys.

925
00:35:51.080 –> 00:35:53.380
I’m happy to host like this every year

926
00:35:53.380 –> 00:35:54.060
if you guys want.

927
00:35:56.040 –> 00:35:57.580
We’ve got one person who’s in.

928
00:35:57.640 –> 00:35:59.200
So anyway thank you so much.

929
00:36:01.420 –> 00:36:02.780
They look good.

930
00:36:03.280 –> 00:36:05.000
I’m going to take this off. It’s hot in here.

931
00:36:05.820 –> 00:36:07.360
Alright I’m going to stop recording

932
00:36:07.360 –> 00:36:08.820
and let’s… Bye pre-show.

933
00:36:12.400 –> 00:36:14.020
After the restaurant

934
00:36:14.020 –> 00:36:15.540
Miriam and Juan went back to the

935
00:36:15.540 –> 00:36:17.800
city. It was way past their bedtime.

936
00:36:17.800 –> 00:36:20.160
Billy and Carmel also returned home

937
00:36:20.160 –> 00:36:22.100
but not before everyone gushed over them

938
00:36:22.100 –> 00:36:24.060
one last time. Matt had to work the

939
00:36:24.060 –> 00:36:25.700
next day so he went home as well.

940
00:36:25.880 –> 00:36:27.960
But the rest of the crew headed up to their hotel in Bury.

941
00:36:28.500 –> 00:36:30.040
I dropped Tanya off at home because

942
00:36:30.040 –> 00:36:32.020
the kids had school and she had to work the next

943
00:36:32.020 –> 00:36:34.020
day. But I had the day off so I joined

944
00:36:34.020 –> 00:36:35.820
the rest of the crew up in Bury for some

945
00:36:35.820 –> 00:36:37.960
after partying at my favorite spot Don Lee’s.

946
00:36:38.660 –> 00:36:39.800
We shut them down before

947
00:36:39.800 –> 00:36:41.980
moving over to another bar. Needless

948
00:36:41.980 –> 00:36:44.040
to say what happens in Bury stays there

949
00:36:44.040 –> 00:36:46.060
but there were more than a few double taps

950
00:36:46.060 –> 00:36:48.340
on the table that night. Some of us were in it

951
00:36:48.340 –> 00:36:49.960
to win it. It was a great night.

952
00:36:50.160 –> 00:36:51.640
A night none of us wanted to end.

953
00:36:51.860 –> 00:36:54.160
But it had to. Now they get to go up

954
00:36:54.160 –> 00:36:56.180
and do it all over again in Sudbury with our

955
00:36:56.180 –> 00:36:57.960
friend Michelle for the next couple of nights.

956
00:36:58.340 –> 00:37:00.060
It’s going to be a shit show in the best

957
00:37:00.060 –> 00:37:00.800
possible way.

958
00:37:01.960 –> 00:37:04.120
So to play us off today I thought the best song

959
00:37:04.120 –> 00:37:05.820
to pick would be Feel Blessed

960
00:37:05.820 –> 00:37:08.040
by Joe Dolo from the Shorzy soundtrack.

961
00:37:23.510 –> 00:37:24.570
And that’s all

962
00:37:24.570 –> 00:37:26.510
we have for this episode. Next week we’ll welcome

963
00:37:26.510 –> 00:37:28.690

00:38:12.530 –> 00:38:14.310
perfect in-person after party venue.
