Now, here’s our chat with Max Buffard.
15
00:00:29.260 –> 00:00:32.200
That fresh produce stand there, that’s a beauty.
16
00:00:32.860 –> 00:00:33.700
What do yous listen to?
17
00:00:33.960 –> 00:00:35.220
My favorite murder podcast.
18
00:00:35.620 –> 00:00:36.680
Taggart and Torrance podcast.
19
00:00:36.880 –> 00:00:37.640
The produce stand.
20
00:00:38.000 –> 00:00:39.120
Ah, fucking sexy.
21
00:00:42.800 –> 00:00:46.080
It’s Monday and we are hanging out at the ProtoStand,
22
00:00:46.300 –> 00:00:49.280
podcast covering everything in the universe.
23
00:00:56.420 –> 00:00:57.260
Now, I know what you’re thinking,
24
00:00:57.320 –> 00:00:58.400
there are many other podcasts,
25
00:00:58.460 –> 00:00:59.200
we’ll order Kenny out there,
26
00:00:59.200 –> 00:01:00.580
but this one is about to have a stick
27
00:01:00.580 –> 00:01:02.320
with one of Schorzy’s sluts.
28
00:01:02.600 –> 00:01:05.600
I’m Al, your host, and she’s not joining me
29
00:01:05.600 –> 00:01:06.600
in the room because she’s on a meeting,
30
00:01:06.600 –> 00:01:09.100
but she’ll hopefully join us in a few minutes,
31
00:01:09.380 –> 00:01:10.100
is the lovely Tanya.
32
00:01:10.180 –> 00:01:11.500
And online we have Squirrely Matt
33
00:01:11.500 –> 00:01:12.820
and another one who’s on a meeting
34
00:01:12.820 –> 00:01:14.780
because we’re recording this during work hours.
35
00:01:15.380 –> 00:01:17.380
Victor will be joining us in a few minutes as well.
36
00:01:17.600 –> 00:01:19.060
But also joining us this week,
37
00:01:19.060 –> 00:01:20.380
he is a former goaltender
38
00:01:20.380 –> 00:01:22.060
in the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League.
39
00:01:22.320 –> 00:01:24.160
He’s a member of various production crews,
40
00:01:24.360 –> 00:01:26.160
including the award-winning 2020 film,
41
00:01:26.480 –> 00:01:29.260
Anything for Jackson, and TV series Northern Rescue
42
00:01:29.260 –> 00:01:30.880
and Hard Rock Medical.
43
00:01:31.180 –> 00:01:33.320
But we know and love him as JJ Frankie JJ
44
00:01:33.320 –> 00:01:34.640
on both Letter Kenny and Schorzy.
45
00:01:34.740 –> 00:01:36.360
Please join me in making some noise
46
00:01:36.360 –> 00:01:37.860
for Max Buffard.
47
00:01:37.920 –> 00:01:38.440
Wondrous.
48
00:01:38.560 –> 00:01:39.680
Oh my God.
49
00:01:53.600 –> 00:01:56.340
Welcome to the Proto Stand, Max.
50
00:01:57.280 –> 00:01:58.380
Hey, thanks for having me.
51
00:01:58.780 –> 00:02:01.240
Now right off the bat, I’m freaking out
52
00:02:01.240 –> 00:02:05.220
because there’s not a hint of a French accent on you.
53
00:02:09.560 –> 00:02:10.639
What’s up with that?
54
00:02:13.260 –> 00:02:14.800
Nothing’s really up with it.
55
00:02:14.800 –> 00:02:17.380
I grew up, full name is Maxime.
56
00:02:17.980 –> 00:02:19.120
So I am French.
57
00:02:19.180 –> 00:02:20.900
My father’s French.
58
00:02:21.300 –> 00:02:22.560
I went to French school.
59
00:02:23.240 –> 00:02:25.360
I guess I spend most of my time speaking in English.
60
00:02:25.400 –> 00:02:27.360
So I don’t really have too heavy of an accent.
61
00:02:27.840 –> 00:02:28.400
That’s amazing.
62
00:02:28.700 –> 00:02:30.760
So where are you speaking to us from right now?
63
00:02:31.280 –> 00:02:32.220
From Sudbury at home.
64
00:02:33.200 –> 00:02:33.900
So that is your home.
65
00:02:33.940 –> 00:02:34.760
Is that where you grew up?
66
00:02:35.700 –> 00:02:36.520
Yep, born and raised.
67
00:02:37.020 –> 00:02:37.520
Very good.
68
00:02:39.120 –> 00:02:42.520
But you’re about to head up, down, up, yes,
69
00:02:42.520 –> 00:02:45.700
down to Toronto for some work soon.
70
00:02:46.860 –> 00:02:49.120
Yes, yeah, we’re pretty quiet right now
71
00:02:49.120 –> 00:02:51.740
until the new year because of holidays
72
00:02:51.740 –> 00:02:53.400
and everybody goes on hiatus and whatnot.
73
00:02:53.520 –> 00:02:57.680
So you can leave your decrepit film family
74
00:02:57.680 –> 00:02:59.420
and go spend time with your real families.
75
00:02:59.720 –> 00:03:00.600
Very cool, very cool.
76
00:03:00.920 –> 00:03:03.920
Now we just had a bunch of listeners up in Shorsey
77
00:03:04.480 –> 00:03:07.320
a weekend ago for the Shorsey night
78
00:03:07.320 –> 00:03:09.360
at the Sudbury Wolves game.
79
00:03:10.640 –> 00:03:14.280
They seem to have had a lot of fun meeting you in person.
80
00:03:15.400 –> 00:03:17.480
Yeah, it was a great time.
81
00:03:17.620 –> 00:03:19.260
It was pretty cool to meet everybody,
82
00:03:19.580 –> 00:03:22.140
hearing how everybody came from so far and so wide
83
00:03:22.140 –> 00:03:24.580
to come to little Sudbury, Ontario
84
00:03:24.580 –> 00:03:25.800
for a little Shorsey night.
85
00:03:25.900 –> 00:03:26.520
It was pretty neat.
86
00:03:27.160 –> 00:03:30.120
Yeah, they got a kick of me with meeting you for sure.
87
00:03:30.780 –> 00:03:33.020
I mean, we’ll get to all of that stuff in a second,
88
00:03:33.040 –> 00:03:35.200
but let’s learn a little bit more about your background.
89
00:03:35.340 –> 00:03:36.960
So you were a goalie
90
00:03:36.960 –> 00:03:39.640
in the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League.
91
00:03:39.740 –> 00:03:42.980
Is that kind of, when did you stop with the hockey?
92
00:03:44.840 –> 00:03:48.140
I stopped, probably would have been about,
93
00:03:48.140 –> 00:03:49.860
I think I was 19.
94
00:03:50.080 –> 00:03:51.720
I wasn’t always a goalie.
95
00:03:51.900 –> 00:03:56.180
Only became a goalie after I was a major Adam.
96
00:03:56.500 –> 00:03:58.160
I had a subdural hematoma
97
00:03:58.160 –> 00:04:00.060
and had to go get brain surgery.
98
00:04:00.080 –> 00:04:03.220
So I wasn’t allowed to play contact sports anymore.
99
00:04:03.340 –> 00:04:03.900
Oh, really?
100
00:04:03.940 –> 00:04:05.560
And obviously as a 10-year-old,
101
00:04:05.560 –> 00:04:07.700
it’s kind of a crushing blow
102
00:04:07.700 –> 00:04:11.800
because every Canadian kid wants to play some serious hockey.
103
00:04:12.000 –> 00:04:15.980
So I had to change my shin pads for goalie pads.
104
00:04:16.839 –> 00:04:19.820
And it still worked out in the end.
105
00:04:19.920 –> 00:04:20.980
And it was that early on,
106
00:04:21.060 –> 00:04:23.020
like though you were 10 years old when that happened?
107
00:04:23.720 –> 00:04:28.960
Yeah, I was 10 years old when I had the surgery.
108
00:04:29.580 –> 00:04:30.060
Wow.
109
00:04:30.800 –> 00:04:31.600
So you were a goalie.
110
00:04:31.740 –> 00:04:33.600
And I mean, you’re on the,
111
00:04:33.600 –> 00:04:34.220
what’s it called?
112
00:04:34.340 –> 00:04:37.400
The prospects, like stats sites and stuff like that.
113
00:04:37.920 –> 00:04:40.180
So did you have designs of going pro
114
00:04:40.180 –> 00:04:41.020
or was it just,
115
00:04:41.060 –> 00:04:43.260
you got as far as you thought you could go?
116
00:04:44.240 –> 00:04:45.640
No, I got to a point
117
00:04:45.640 –> 00:04:49.300
where I didn’t really want to pursue hockey as a career
118
00:04:51.340 –> 00:04:53.700
because the game of hockey is a beautiful thing,
119
00:04:53.800 –> 00:04:55.160
but the business of it’s quite ugly.
120
00:04:56.900 –> 00:04:58.620
And yeah, I just got to a point
121
00:04:58.620 –> 00:05:04.520
where I couldn’t see myself doing it seven days a week
122
00:05:04.520 –> 00:05:05.940
for the rest of my life.
123
00:05:06.120 –> 00:05:07.220
I had opportunities.
124
00:05:08.740 –> 00:05:11.800
I was scouted by the Tampa Bay Lightning
125
00:05:11.800 –> 00:05:13.160
and the New York Islanders
126
00:05:13.160 –> 00:05:14.940
at a couple of these prospect tournaments.
127
00:05:16.260 –> 00:05:19.200
But yeah, just kind of walked away from it
128
00:05:19.200 –> 00:05:21.340
after playing my second year of junior.
129
00:05:21.900 –> 00:05:25.600
And then after sitting around for a year at home,
130
00:05:26.100 –> 00:05:27.520
kind of doing odd jobs and whatnot,
131
00:05:27.520 –> 00:05:28.820
I decided I missed hockey
132
00:05:28.820 –> 00:05:32.560
and because I hadn’t had any head complications
133
00:05:32.560 –> 00:05:35.360
from the brain surgery, I decided I’d try out.
134
00:05:35.480 –> 00:05:36.900
I made a junior team as a forward.
135
00:05:37.640 –> 00:05:38.260
Oh, okay.
136
00:05:39.000 –> 00:05:39.300
So this-
137
00:05:39.300 –> 00:05:41.220
Yeah, so my last year of junior, I played out.
138
00:05:41.800 –> 00:05:44.520
Oh, that’s gonna kind of cover my next question
139
00:05:44.520 –> 00:05:47.200
because on Schorzy and Lutter Kenny,
140
00:05:47.340 –> 00:05:49.300
you don’t play goalie, you play a forward,
141
00:05:49.580 –> 00:05:51.100
an elite scoring forward.
142
00:05:51.480 –> 00:05:52.600
How did you get a kick out of that?
143
00:05:53.400 –> 00:05:54.620
Yeah, it’s pretty funny.
144
00:05:55.360 –> 00:05:55.700
Yeah.
145
00:05:56.260 –> 00:05:58.580
Was it tough to leave the game or were you ready?
146
00:06:01.740 –> 00:06:04.620
You know, you can always look back on certain things
147
00:06:04.620 –> 00:06:05.840
and say, shoulda, coulda, woulda.
148
00:06:07.160 –> 00:06:09.060
But yeah, I stick by my guns
149
00:06:09.060 –> 00:06:11.880
to the decision that I made at the time in my life.
150
00:06:12.060 –> 00:06:13.220
I felt like it was a good one.
151
00:06:13.820 –> 00:06:16.980
And you know, now people watch me
152
00:06:16.980 –> 00:06:18.780
play fake hockey on TV.
153
00:06:20.080 –> 00:06:21.620
It kind of all worked out.
154
00:06:22.140 –> 00:06:23.380
Did you ever dream-
155
00:06:23.380 –> 00:06:24.140
Oh, go ahead, Matt.
156
00:06:24.140 –> 00:06:27.040
Yeah, I was gonna say, so really quick side one.
157
00:06:27.640 –> 00:06:30.020
Missing tooth, real or fake?
158
00:06:31.400 –> 00:06:34.440
My mom told me if I had a good tooth pulled
159
00:06:34.440 –> 00:06:36.720
like Jared did, she would kick my ass.
160
00:06:38.860 –> 00:06:41.720
So my broken tooth is fake.
161
00:06:42.020 –> 00:06:42.840
Oh, wow.
162
00:06:43.180 –> 00:06:44.100
But they make me wear.
163
00:06:44.440 –> 00:06:46.320
So the broken tooth is actually the length
164
00:06:46.320 –> 00:06:47.380
of all my regular teeth
165
00:06:47.380 –> 00:06:49.160
and they just kind of extended all the other ones.
166
00:06:49.340 –> 00:06:49.920
Oh, wow.
167
00:06:50.080 –> 00:06:50.360
Smart.
168
00:06:50.720 –> 00:06:51.720
Much like your-
169
00:06:51.720 –> 00:06:52.360
Broken mirrors, right?
170
00:06:52.360 –> 00:06:54.900
Much like your accent, it’s all a lie.
171
00:06:55.720 –> 00:06:58.260
Well, that totally crushes my follow-up question.
172
00:06:58.260 –> 00:07:00.360
It’s gonna be how, but I guess there we know.
173
00:07:02.280 –> 00:07:02.880
Very good.
174
00:07:02.940 –> 00:07:04.780
So after your hockey then, what did you do?
175
00:07:05.040 –> 00:07:08.240
Did you go straight into television and film production?
176
00:07:08.940 –> 00:07:10.100
Oh, God, no.
177
00:07:11.500 –> 00:07:13.520
Geez, I bounced around all over the place.
178
00:07:14.020 –> 00:07:16.360
One of the rules at the house was
179
00:07:16.360 –> 00:07:17.860
if you weren’t in school,
180
00:07:18.000 –> 00:07:20.660
you were paying your way, working,
181
00:07:20.880 –> 00:07:21.920
getting a job and whatnot.
182
00:07:22.460 –> 00:07:25.300
So, geez, my first job out of high school
183
00:07:25.300 –> 00:07:28.540
was a masonry laborer for my dad’s buddy.
184
00:07:28.980 –> 00:07:32.600
And I still have not worked as hard
185
00:07:32.600 –> 00:07:36.800
for as little money as I did for those first like,
186
00:07:37.680 –> 00:07:40.500
well, my first real job experience was pretty nuts.
187
00:07:40.560 –> 00:07:42.460
And then from there, I just kind of bounced around,
188
00:07:42.740 –> 00:07:44.720
did a lot of construction stuff.
189
00:07:45.480 –> 00:07:49.280
Geez, worked a cow tire, worked on transport trucks,
190
00:07:49.840 –> 00:07:52.440
changing tires, loaders on mine sites.
191
00:07:53.260 –> 00:07:54.960
From there, I went out west
192
00:07:54.960 –> 00:07:56.920
and worked on the oil rigs for a bit.
193
00:07:58.480 –> 00:08:03.960
Came home in 2014, right before oil tanked.
194
00:08:03.960 –> 00:08:04.520
So to speak.
195
00:08:05.620 –> 00:08:07.720
Yeah, so to speak, punny.
196
00:08:08.160 –> 00:08:11.740
And then one of my buddies asked for me
197
00:08:11.740 –> 00:08:13.540
to come give him a hand on a film set
198
00:08:13.540 –> 00:08:15.640
because they were basically just pulling people
199
00:08:15.640 –> 00:08:17.300
off the street because they needed technicians
200
00:08:17.860 –> 00:08:20.060
and well, I’ve been doing it ever since.
201
00:08:20.460 –> 00:08:20.900
Oh, nice.
202
00:08:21.440 –> 00:08:21.820
Cool.
203
00:08:21.960 –> 00:08:23.020
I mean, does that have to do with like,
204
00:08:23.100 –> 00:08:27.460
I know Sudbury is growing in popularity as a film hub.
205
00:08:28.620 –> 00:08:30.560
Was that sort of, I guess, in the early days of that?
206
00:08:31.020 –> 00:08:32.919
Yeah, yeah, it was in the early days of that.
207
00:08:32.919 –> 00:08:35.240
And when we had a couple of big shows actually,
208
00:08:35.380 –> 00:08:38.200
it was, well, it was another Mark Montefiore show
209
00:08:38.740 –> 00:08:39.840
was a bad blood.
210
00:08:39.940 –> 00:08:43.880
Season one was my first technician gig.
211
00:08:44.680 –> 00:08:46.580
I was gonna say you need to update your IMDB
212
00:08:46.580 –> 00:08:49.200
because the credits that I pulled from there,
213
00:08:49.480 –> 00:08:51.580
there were only three and I know that you’re working
214
00:08:51.580 –> 00:08:53.080
on more than just the three.
215
00:08:53.620 –> 00:08:56.820
Yeah, it’s definitely on the list of things to do.
216
00:08:58.880 –> 00:09:01.580
So that was your first gig then in television
217
00:09:01.580 –> 00:09:03.440
and film was a bad blood.
218
00:09:03.440 –> 00:09:04.340
When would that have been?
219
00:09:05.340 –> 00:09:09.700
Oh, geez, it would have been 2014 or 2015.
220
00:09:10.000 –> 00:09:12.460
Okay, so you’ve been at it for about eight years then?
221
00:09:13.300 –> 00:09:15.340
Yeah, seven, maybe going on eight.
222
00:09:16.780 –> 00:09:17.320
Very cool.
223
00:09:17.540 –> 00:09:20.140
Do you, I mean, before we leave hockey altogether,
224
00:09:20.160 –> 00:09:22.260
I mean, we’ll get back to it with Schorzy and stuff.
225
00:09:23.160 –> 00:09:25.660
Did you ever see maybe hockey in your future,
226
00:09:25.860 –> 00:09:29.260
like as a coach or any other capacity like that?
227
00:09:29.640 –> 00:09:32.320
Or are you, do you think you’re out of the game?
228
00:09:33.020 –> 00:09:34.680
No, I don’t think I’m out of the game.
229
00:09:35.720 –> 00:09:37.060
You know, I don’t have any kids,
230
00:09:37.640 –> 00:09:40.940
but I was very fortunate to have my dad
231
00:09:40.940 –> 00:09:41.800
always in the picture.
232
00:09:42.000 –> 00:09:42.960
Well, both parents, obviously,
233
00:09:43.020 –> 00:09:45.460
but my dad was always a coach of mine
234
00:09:45.460 –> 00:09:50.200
and we’ve built quite a relationship, you know,
235
00:09:50.320 –> 00:09:51.100
spending all the time.
236
00:09:52.020 –> 00:09:54.440
And geez, we’ve probably driven through three trucks
237
00:09:54.440 –> 00:09:56.440
and a million kilometers together.
238
00:09:57.800 –> 00:09:59.160
So yeah, I don’t think,
239
00:09:59.180 –> 00:10:01.220
I don’t think it’s totally out of the realm
240
00:10:01.220 –> 00:10:02.980
of possibilities to want to get into coaching,
241
00:10:03.400 –> 00:10:05.680
but not yet anyways.
242
00:10:06.680 –> 00:10:08.000
At the very least for your own kids,
243
00:10:08.440 –> 00:10:09.860
you’d love to coach.
244
00:10:10.080 –> 00:10:11.420
Yeah. One day.
245
00:10:11.940 –> 00:10:13.320
One day. Very good.
246
00:10:13.320 –> 00:10:16.340
So how did you get involved with Letter Kenny then?
247
00:10:18.320 –> 00:10:20.960
There was an open call for background
248
00:10:21.600 –> 00:10:27.880
and my friend Ashley is still the casting agent
249
00:10:27.880 –> 00:10:28.540
for the show.
250
00:10:29.480 –> 00:10:32.000
And I came out for season one,
251
00:10:33.740 –> 00:10:34.780
episode two, like I said,
252
00:10:34.920 –> 00:10:36.340
a super soft birthday party.
253
00:10:36.400 –> 00:10:38.760
You know, it’s funny because I pointed you out.
254
00:10:39.060 –> 00:10:41.760
Yes, you were one of Joint Boy’s cousins
255
00:10:41.760 –> 00:10:44.740
or whatever in the super soft birthday.
256
00:10:45.780 –> 00:10:46.040
Yep.
257
00:10:47.020 –> 00:10:47.520
Very cool.
258
00:10:48.400 –> 00:10:50.540
So you didn’t come on as a tech or anything of that nature,
259
00:10:50.820 –> 00:10:52.880
just like a background extra at that time.
260
00:10:53.360 –> 00:10:55.880
Yeah, at that time it was just a background.
261
00:10:55.900 –> 00:10:58.300
And then from there I did like,
262
00:10:58.300 –> 00:11:03.420
oh man, almost every season until the last,
263
00:11:03.420 –> 00:11:06.660
until current as a technician.
264
00:11:06.980 –> 00:11:08.480
Right. So they looked at you and said,
265
00:11:08.520 –> 00:11:10.120
oh, you did a great job there,
266
00:11:10.120 –> 00:11:13.880
but you also look like you can hold that lighting rig
267
00:11:13.880 –> 00:11:16.400
over your shoulders longer than anybody else.
268
00:11:16.640 –> 00:11:18.320
So would you mind doing that?
269
00:11:18.960 –> 00:11:20.800
Yeah, something like that for sure.
270
00:11:21.780 –> 00:11:22.680
That’s amazing.
271
00:11:23.040 –> 00:11:24.980
So then, I mean, at what point through this process,
272
00:11:24.980 –> 00:11:26.400
I know it’s like in the later seasons,
273
00:11:26.880 –> 00:11:28.380
did Jared or whoever tap you and go,
274
00:11:29.300 –> 00:11:32.560
hey, Max, we got something else for you.
275
00:11:32.660 –> 00:11:34.060
And then they bring you into the screen.
276
00:11:34.840 –> 00:11:37.580
That’s honestly basically how it went.
277
00:11:38.140 –> 00:11:43.340
I, it was, oh man, I think it was like season three-ish.
278
00:11:43.700 –> 00:11:47.820
We organized a production game of Letter Kenny
279
00:11:47.820 –> 00:11:50.060
versus like William F. White’s,
280
00:11:50.060 –> 00:11:51.440
the rental house company.
281
00:11:51.560 –> 00:11:53.400
And so they had sent their team up from Toronto,
282
00:11:53.400 –> 00:11:55.860
but we were sitting there and I heard about this game
283
00:11:55.860 –> 00:11:57.360
and nobody had talked to me about it yet.
284
00:11:57.360 –> 00:11:59.720
And you know, I was fairly new to the crew.
285
00:11:59.840 –> 00:12:01.700
Did they know that you had the hockey background?
286
00:12:02.600 –> 00:12:03.000
No.
287
00:12:03.120 –> 00:12:04.220
No, they didn’t.
288
00:12:04.720 –> 00:12:06.200
So this is like a quiet audition.
289
00:12:06.740 –> 00:12:08.640
Yeah, more or less, more or less.
290
00:12:09.420 –> 00:12:11.080
So I pulled Jared aside and I was like, hey man,
291
00:12:11.120 –> 00:12:12.340
I was like, how come you guys didn’t ask me
292
00:12:12.340 –> 00:12:13.080
to play on the team?
293
00:12:13.120 –> 00:12:14.080
And he’s like, well, you could play hockey?
294
00:12:14.260 –> 00:12:14.880
I said, absolutely.
295
00:12:16.680 –> 00:12:18.320
And so he’s like, oh yeah, okay.
296
00:12:18.820 –> 00:12:20.440
So I guess the rest is history.
297
00:12:20.500 –> 00:12:22.700
And I guess, you know, he came up to me,
298
00:12:23.380 –> 00:12:24.880
I don’t remember before which season
299
00:12:24.880 –> 00:12:26.080
a Letter Kenny that we were filming,
300
00:12:26.100 –> 00:12:28.960
but he’s like, I got a role for you if you want it.
301
00:12:28.980 –> 00:12:31.040
And I mean, you know, when Kiso comes knocking,
302
00:12:31.220 –> 00:12:32.800
what else are you gonna say except yes.
303
00:12:32.980 –> 00:12:33.300
Absolutely.
304
00:12:34.180 –> 00:12:35.000
He’s the man.
305
00:12:35.000 –> 00:12:37.320
You must have really impressed them during that game.
306
00:12:38.340 –> 00:12:38.960
Well, yeah.
307
00:12:39.580 –> 00:12:43.500
But the funny thing is the flick pass
308
00:12:43.500 –> 00:12:46.580
that we do in Shorzy was something that I did
309
00:12:46.580 –> 00:12:49.260
to Jared during our whites game.
310
00:12:50.700 –> 00:12:51.100
Yeah.
311
00:12:51.520 –> 00:12:54.020
Oh, I’ve got lots to talk about that pass.
312
00:12:54.080 –> 00:12:57.300
That whole scene, I loved, loved, loved that scene.
313
00:12:57.760 –> 00:13:00.880
And it was so well shot too, but that’s amazing.
314
00:13:02.000 –> 00:13:04.340
I mean, Jared must’ve just looked to use it,
315
00:13:04.340 –> 00:13:05.720
look at the size of this guy.
316
00:13:05.800 –> 00:13:09.020
And I’m gonna assume you’re a pretty good skater then
317
00:13:09.020 –> 00:13:11.260
as well, and he must’ve just thought,
318
00:13:11.280 –> 00:13:12.260
wow, this is perfect.
319
00:13:13.960 –> 00:13:15.940
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
320
00:13:16.580 –> 00:13:19.680
I mean, I’ve shrunk a little bit over the years
321
00:13:19.680 –> 00:13:23.260
compared to when he first would have met me.
322
00:13:23.940 –> 00:13:26.660
But yeah, on skates, I’m about six foot eight
323
00:13:26.660 –> 00:13:28.860
and 325 pounds, so.
324
00:13:29.620 –> 00:13:31.360
Yeah, that fits the bill.
325
00:13:31.880 –> 00:13:32.560
That’s a lot.
326
00:13:34.680 –> 00:13:37.040
Now, I mean, when he came to you and said,
327
00:13:37.280 –> 00:13:39.640
okay, I wrote this character for you for this season,
328
00:13:40.480 –> 00:13:42.860
did you know, was it gonna be a returning character
329
00:13:42.860 –> 00:13:44.400
or was it just gonna be for that season?
330
00:13:44.460 –> 00:13:47.060
And then the feedback was such that,
331
00:13:47.280 –> 00:13:49.380
oh, we’re bringing you back again for the last season
332
00:13:49.380 –> 00:13:51.500
because now we’ve got this other show
333
00:13:51.500 –> 00:13:52.640
that we want you on.
334
00:13:55.040 –> 00:13:58.640
Well, I think it was always in his plan
335
00:13:59.460 –> 00:14:04.660
to bring me along because really myself and Terry Ryan
336
00:14:05.060 –> 00:14:08.380
are the only two people that come over from Letterkenny
337
00:14:08.380 –> 00:14:11.320
into the Shorzy world from that
338
00:14:11.320 –> 00:14:12.580
senior men’s hockey tournament.
339
00:14:13.960 –> 00:14:17.560
And Jared’s been talking about Shorzy for years.
340
00:14:18.560 –> 00:14:20.960
I know he’s been secretly putting away at it,
341
00:14:21.080 –> 00:14:23.780
trying to, you know, turning it into what it is.
342
00:14:24.620 –> 00:14:27.460
And yeah, he had mentioned it quite,
343
00:14:27.460 –> 00:14:29.020
I guess a couple of years ago now.
344
00:14:30.700 –> 00:14:32.500
And I love, I mean, your first episode
345
00:14:32.500 –> 00:14:34.800
was that senior men’s hockey league there one.
346
00:14:35.160 –> 00:14:36.420
And when you read the script
347
00:14:36.420 –> 00:14:37.540
or were told it was gonna happen,
348
00:14:37.820 –> 00:14:39.160
what was your reaction when you told that
349
00:14:39.160 –> 00:14:41.440
you were gonna get Bobby Clark in that opening?
350
00:14:42.440 –> 00:14:43.840
It was, I laughed.
351
00:14:44.700 –> 00:14:46.960
It was so funny.
352
00:14:47.240 –> 00:14:50.460
And originally, because Jared’s left-handed
353
00:14:50.460 –> 00:14:51.920
and we lined up together on the draw,
354
00:14:51.960 –> 00:14:54.120
he was originally just supposed to kind of pull back
355
00:14:54.120 –> 00:14:55.000
and chop from there,
356
00:14:55.000 –> 00:14:57.080
but we decided that it wasn’t enough.
357
00:14:58.160 –> 00:14:58.360
And-
358
00:14:58.360 –> 00:14:59.540
Just kind of spin around.
359
00:15:00.100 –> 00:15:01.640
Yeah, he did the spin around.
360
00:15:02.360 –> 00:15:06.480
Unfortunately, because we only thought about him doing,
361
00:15:06.700 –> 00:15:07.500
chopping the one leg,
362
00:15:07.620 –> 00:15:09.220
we had only padded up the one leg.
363
00:15:09.460 –> 00:15:10.660
And when he did the spin,
364
00:15:10.860 –> 00:15:12.760
he reached a lot further around.
365
00:15:14.200 –> 00:15:18.380
And oh yeah, I had a bruise from the back of my knee
366
00:15:18.380 –> 00:15:21.180
down to my ankle that could hold,
367
00:15:21.180 –> 00:15:23.880
that could hold, I could hold color with the sock.
368
00:15:24.420 –> 00:15:25.300
Oh, shit.
369
00:15:25.480 –> 00:15:28.520
So he basically owed you a recur and roll after that one.
370
00:15:29.100 –> 00:15:30.040
Yeah, something like that.
371
00:15:30.820 –> 00:15:31.920
Something like that.
372
00:15:33.020 –> 00:15:34.300
And I would have done it again.
373
00:15:34.760 –> 00:15:36.040
I would have done it again, too.
374
00:15:36.380 –> 00:15:36.640
Yeah.
375
00:15:37.080 –> 00:15:39.280
Well, I mean, for what it’s led to, right?
376
00:15:39.660 –> 00:15:41.640
Now, so early on,
377
00:15:41.700 –> 00:15:43.840
you knew you were gonna be involved in Shorzy then?
378
00:15:43.900 –> 00:15:44.920
Like when he announced,
379
00:15:45.120 –> 00:15:46.200
okay, we’re doing this spin-off,
380
00:15:46.660 –> 00:15:49.960
was it like, Max, you’re obviously, you know-
381
00:15:49.960 –> 00:15:50.340
Yeah.
382
00:15:50.800 –> 00:15:52.020
Good, because you’re going kind of thing?
383
00:15:52.580 –> 00:15:54.260
Yeah, more or less, yeah.
384
00:15:54.260 –> 00:15:55.620
Good, because you’re going, for sure.
385
00:15:56.300 –> 00:15:59.140
So which of the sluts is the best hockey player?
386
00:16:01.130 –> 00:16:06.150
Between you, Terry Ryan, Dolo, and Goody.
387
00:16:08.530 –> 00:16:12.650
I mean, you gotta give it to TR because, you know,
388
00:16:12.650 –> 00:16:15.470
he did get drafted and he did play in the NHL.
389
00:16:15.950 –> 00:16:18.490
So, I mean-
390
00:16:18.490 –> 00:16:20.010
Okay, I mean, that’s fair enough.
391
00:16:20.230 –> 00:16:23.950
That’s a good political answer.
392
00:16:23.950 –> 00:16:25.510
But when you guys get on the ice,
393
00:16:25.530 –> 00:16:26.430
does it get competitive?
394
00:16:26.430 –> 00:16:28.790
Like, do you guys start like messing around or?
395
00:16:32.780 –> 00:16:35.620
Terry is super serious.
396
00:16:35.940 –> 00:16:38.480
You know, the guy who plays hockey is still every day.
397
00:16:38.980 –> 00:16:42.260
I swear to God, I don’t see a story on Terry’s Instagram
398
00:16:42.260 –> 00:16:45.560
where he doesn’t have his cell phone on the bench.
399
00:16:45.560 –> 00:16:47.940
Oh, believe me, I know how busy Terry is.
400
00:16:48.120 –> 00:16:51.300
We’ve been in talks since the summer to try to get him on.
401
00:16:51.320 –> 00:16:53.380
Yeah, he’s hilarious.
402
00:16:53.380 –> 00:16:58.500
And it does get somewhat competitive.
403
00:16:58.820 –> 00:17:01.220
I mean, we had, I don’t know if you know
404
00:17:01.220 –> 00:17:02.380
about the fish story.
405
00:17:02.900 –> 00:17:04.040
No, please share.
406
00:17:04.400 –> 00:17:05.380
Oh, we’re about to.
407
00:17:07.200 –> 00:17:13.760
Well, the fish that plays fish is called Fish 2.0
408
00:17:13.760 –> 00:17:16.740
because the first fish that came out,
409
00:17:18.940 –> 00:17:20.300
because we were doing some skating
410
00:17:20.300 –> 00:17:22.280
before we even went into production,
411
00:17:23.619 –> 00:17:25.640
within 10 minutes of him coming on the ice,
412
00:17:25.640 –> 00:17:27.660
everybody knew that this guy was gonna cut it.
413
00:17:28.280 –> 00:17:33.540
And Terry and John Marassi just rode the hell out of him.
414
00:17:33.680 –> 00:17:38.240
And then we had to find a replacement fish,
415
00:17:38.260 –> 00:17:40.640
so we got Fish 2.0.
416
00:17:40.640 –> 00:17:40.820
Right.
417
00:17:41.360 –> 00:17:45.240
Now, was the original Fish hockey player first,
418
00:17:45.480 –> 00:17:47.240
actor second, or actor first?
419
00:17:49.220 –> 00:17:50.840
I’m not 100% sure.
420
00:17:50.860 –> 00:17:52.800
I didn’t even get a chance to really get to know him.
421
00:17:52.800 –> 00:17:53.500
Oh, okay.
422
00:17:53.920 –> 00:17:56.120
But the new fish, or the current fish,
423
00:17:56.440 –> 00:17:58.960
he’s a former player, right?
424
00:17:59.460 –> 00:18:00.700
Yeah, he’s a hockey player.
425
00:18:00.820 –> 00:18:04.860
He played hockey in France for a bit.
426
00:18:04.920 –> 00:18:06.720
Yeah, he looks like it.
427
00:18:06.820 –> 00:18:07.100
Yeah.
428
00:18:09.520 –> 00:18:10.240
Very good.
429
00:18:11.580 –> 00:18:14.300
I think it was when we were talking to Billy,
430
00:18:14.920 –> 00:18:16.280
was it Billy, Matt, who said
431
00:18:16.280 –> 00:18:17.960
that they didn’t allow any pucks on the ice
432
00:18:17.960 –> 00:18:21.480
when you guys, because where else you guys wouldn’t?
433
00:18:21.900 –> 00:18:24.300
Yeah, he said there was some control there,
434
00:18:24.440 –> 00:18:25.540
because we asked the same kind of question,
435
00:18:25.580 –> 00:18:28.220
did you guys get competitive and play around a bit?
436
00:18:28.740 –> 00:18:30.380
And Billy said, no, everyone’s pretty serious.
437
00:18:30.860 –> 00:18:32.500
And we kept what we needed to get done
438
00:18:32.500 –> 00:18:33.280
for the most part.
439
00:18:34.260 –> 00:18:35.960
But I have to believe there’s some
440
00:18:35.960 –> 00:18:39.320
between the scenes action happening there.
441
00:18:40.260 –> 00:18:42.120
Well, the problem is when you have
442
00:18:42.120 –> 00:18:45.360
like a $300,000 camera set up on the ice,
443
00:18:45.420 –> 00:18:47.900
you don’t really want hockey pucks near it.
444
00:18:48.400 –> 00:18:48.800
Fair enough.
445
00:18:49.460 –> 00:18:52.980
So usually the first ADs, babysitting,
446
00:18:53.000 –> 00:18:55.220
keeping the kids in line, we’ll call it.
447
00:18:55.780 –> 00:18:58.300
So on that note, was there ever any,
448
00:18:58.320 –> 00:19:00.920
without the cameras, there’s scrimmage amongst you guys,
449
00:19:00.920 –> 00:19:02.520
just to get a feel for each other on the ice?
450
00:19:03.760 –> 00:19:05.360
No, we had,
451
00:19:08.320 –> 00:19:11.440
Jared and I had two ice times the week before prep,
452
00:19:11.720 –> 00:19:13.680
because I was fresh out of the hospital
453
00:19:13.680 –> 00:19:15.700
with a week long battle with COVID.
454
00:19:16.220 –> 00:19:17.040
Oh, okay.
455
00:19:18.060 –> 00:19:20.000
Yeah, and then we had a week
456
00:19:20.000 –> 00:19:22.500
of practicing some stuff together
457
00:19:22.500 –> 00:19:25.740
prior to beginning principal photography.
458
00:19:27.420 –> 00:19:31.600
Now, so you had about eight years of being on a crew
459
00:19:31.600 –> 00:19:32.440
under your belt.
460
00:19:33.280 –> 00:19:36.380
Had you ever worked on hockey scenes before, Shorzy?
461
00:19:37.600 –> 00:19:42.180
Yeah, I worked on a French hockey show
462
00:19:42.180 –> 00:19:45.100
called Les Bleurs de Rameville or Raineville,
463
00:19:45.140 –> 00:19:46.080
something like that.
464
00:19:46.080 –> 00:19:46.240
Okay.
465
00:19:48.560 –> 00:19:53.220
But even that, I was like a BG, special BG player.
466
00:19:53.380 –> 00:19:53.960
All right.
467
00:19:54.000 –> 00:19:57.120
Not really, didn’t really work as a technician.
468
00:19:57.640 –> 00:19:59.060
Well, the reason I’m asking is,
469
00:19:59.060 –> 00:20:00.060
and when we had Billy on,
470
00:20:00.340 –> 00:20:01.900
I had a lot to say about this.
471
00:20:02.480 –> 00:20:06.800
Like the hockey scenes in Shorzy are, I love them.
472
00:20:06.820 –> 00:20:09.780
And of course it’s the brilliance of, you know,
473
00:20:09.780 –> 00:20:12.900
of choosing hockey players first and actors second,
474
00:20:13.380 –> 00:20:16.060
that you guys, you can do like, you know,
475
00:20:16.240 –> 00:20:18.400
wide angle shots because you guys can all skate.
476
00:20:18.640 –> 00:20:22.240
You guys can all shoot properly
477
00:20:22.240 –> 00:20:23.980
and you know, you don’t have to like be close up
478
00:20:23.980 –> 00:20:25.480
because you’re an actor first, right?
479
00:20:25.720 –> 00:20:27.400
And that scene that you’re talking about
480
00:20:27.400 –> 00:20:31.260
with the saucer pass and just before that,
481
00:20:31.460 –> 00:20:33.140
Shorzy drawing up the scene
482
00:20:33.140 –> 00:20:35.340
and then seeing it like happen
483
00:20:35.340 –> 00:20:37.120
exactly the way he described it.
484
00:20:37.480 –> 00:20:39.460
I mean, I’ve seen a lot of hockey movies
485
00:20:39.460 –> 00:20:42.320
and usually it’s frantic cutting and a lot of, you know,
486
00:20:42.440 –> 00:20:44.820
close up of the feet of the skates and of the puck
487
00:20:44.820 –> 00:20:47.900
because once again, these are actors, they’re not players.
488
00:20:48.240 –> 00:20:49.720
And there’s a lot of confusion,
489
00:20:49.720 –> 00:20:52.500
but that’s on purpose to make it look more frantic
490
00:20:52.500 –> 00:20:53.380
and more fast paced,
491
00:20:53.380 –> 00:20:54.780
but really you’re not, what you’re watching
492
00:20:54.780 –> 00:20:57.720
isn’t anything related to the sport.
493
00:20:57.880 –> 00:20:58.340
You know what I mean?
494
00:20:58.500 –> 00:21:01.600
Whereas the way Shorzy’s shooting their hockey,
495
00:21:02.100 –> 00:21:04.760
because you guys are all players, it’s beautiful.
496
00:21:05.080 –> 00:21:06.220
It’s, I mean, that’s all I can say.
497
00:21:06.220 –> 00:21:08.920
Yeah, it’s relatively, yeah, relatively seamless.
498
00:21:10.120 –> 00:21:12.220
And I’m not going to lie, a lot of those shots,
499
00:21:12.320 –> 00:21:13.880
a lot of the hockey shots were a one and done.
500
00:21:14.620 –> 00:21:15.180
The first-
501
00:21:15.180 –> 00:21:16.960
Well, that’s what amazed me
502
00:21:16.960 –> 00:21:18.220
because when we were talking to Billy, he said,
503
00:21:18.280 –> 00:21:20.780
how long did it take to set up that scene,
504
00:21:20.820 –> 00:21:21.660
that specific scene?
505
00:21:21.720 –> 00:21:22.880
And he’s like, oh, I think we did it,
506
00:21:22.880 –> 00:21:24.660
knocked it out in like a half an hour or whatever.
507
00:21:25.340 –> 00:21:26.520
Like, couldn’t believe it.
508
00:21:26.520 –> 00:21:27.640
Yeah, they went by pretty quick.
509
00:21:28.060 –> 00:21:29.860
I remember on like one of the goals,
510
00:21:29.920 –> 00:21:30.840
one of the goals that I got
511
00:21:30.840 –> 00:21:32.700
where I come cutting across the blue line
512
00:21:32.700 –> 00:21:34.820
and they gave it to me the first time it went down,
513
00:21:35.720 –> 00:21:38.540
I hit the crossbar and went bar down as hard as I could.
514
00:21:38.600 –> 00:21:39.440
And I kind of just laughed.
515
00:21:39.480 –> 00:21:42.000
So I was like, I cannot do it better than I just did it.
516
00:21:42.240 –> 00:21:44.800
So moving on, checking that.
517
00:21:45.620 –> 00:21:46.140
And- That’s amazing.
518
00:21:46.600 –> 00:21:47.580
You’ve already got the skill.
519
00:21:47.820 –> 00:21:49.380
Yeah, when you receive the pass,
520
00:21:49.440 –> 00:21:50.540
you bring it between your legs.
521
00:21:50.600 –> 00:21:52.460
Was that on purpose or was the pass behind you
522
00:21:52.460 –> 00:21:53.240
and you had to do that?
523
00:21:53.800 –> 00:21:55.440
The pass was a little bit behind me
524
00:21:55.440 –> 00:21:57.040
and I had to pull it to stay on side.
525
00:21:57.140 –> 00:21:59.280
Wow, I mean, well done.
526
00:22:00.120 –> 00:22:01.220
Thanks, thank you.
527
00:22:01.760 –> 00:22:02.860
Continues to prove your point out.
528
00:22:02.860 –> 00:22:04.920
When you bring people who already have the talent
529
00:22:04.920 –> 00:22:08.300
in that skill, the acting is the after thing
530
00:22:08.300 –> 00:22:09.420
and it’s great, but-
531
00:22:09.420 –> 00:22:10.960
Paul Newman was on Slapshot.
532
00:22:11.060 –> 00:22:11.620
It looks authentic.
533
00:22:12.260 –> 00:22:13.620
Paul Newman was on Slapshot
534
00:22:13.620 –> 00:22:14.920
and he’s a great actor and all,
535
00:22:15.040 –> 00:22:16.000
but he wouldn’t be able to do
536
00:22:16.000 –> 00:22:18.300
what Max Buffard did in that fucking scene.
537
00:22:19.920 –> 00:22:22.180
Without endless takes and probably an accidental-
538
00:22:22.180 –> 00:22:25.840
No, yeah, you’d be cutting away to a double doing it
539
00:22:25.840 –> 00:22:28.040
and it would be showing him from the knees down.
540
00:22:28.340 –> 00:22:30.040
So no, props to you, man.
541
00:22:30.040 –> 00:22:30.860
That’s amazing.
542
00:22:33.320 –> 00:22:34.020
That’s great.
543
00:22:34.200 –> 00:22:37.160
So we’ve got a bunch of, like I said, listener questions.
544
00:22:37.320 –> 00:22:38.720
I mean, before we get to that,
545
00:22:38.960 –> 00:22:41.420
we touched on it a bit at the beginning,
546
00:22:41.680 –> 00:22:44.260
but last week, the Sudbury Wolves
547
00:22:44.260 –> 00:22:46.220
hosted a special Shorsie night
548
00:22:46.220 –> 00:22:48.340
and it was all to raise money for,
549
00:22:48.340 –> 00:22:50.820
was it Neo Kids, I believe, is the charity?
550
00:22:52.380 –> 00:22:54.640
And it was a celebration of Shorsie
551
00:22:54.640 –> 00:22:56.260
and you were there to drop the puck
552
00:22:57.360 –> 00:22:59.240
and the Wolves were wearing
553
00:22:59.240 –> 00:23:01.060
the Blueberry Bulldog sweaters
554
00:23:01.060 –> 00:23:02.220
and they were selling merchandise
555
00:23:02.220 –> 00:23:03.060
and they were selling puppers.
556
00:23:03.200 –> 00:23:05.140
I mean, it looked like an amazing celebration
557
00:23:06.040 –> 00:23:08.000
of Latter-County and Shorsie.
558
00:23:09.240 –> 00:23:10.840
So talk about that a bit,
559
00:23:11.600 –> 00:23:13.500
like your experience with that night,
560
00:23:13.600 –> 00:23:15.020
being from Sudbury yourself.
561
00:23:16.140 –> 00:23:18.400
Man, it was truly an honor.
562
00:23:18.480 –> 00:23:21.020
Quite humbling to see all the support
563
00:23:21.020 –> 00:23:22.220
and all the people come out.
564
00:23:22.340 –> 00:23:24.160
Like you said, it was for Neo Kids.
565
00:23:24.300 –> 00:23:25.260
It was a good cause.
566
00:23:27.140 –> 00:23:29.540
Yeah, like I said, it was just truly a humbling
567
00:23:29.540 –> 00:23:33.900
and great experience.
568
00:23:34.200 –> 00:23:39.200
And you said that the barn was pretty jumping and…
569
00:23:39.200 –> 00:23:40.240
It was sold out.
570
00:23:41.280 –> 00:23:42.480
I know the day of,
571
00:23:42.540 –> 00:23:45.740
I think there was standing room and single tickets only
572
00:23:45.740 –> 00:23:49.120
and by the time game time rolled around,
573
00:23:49.340 –> 00:23:51.440
I’m pretty sure that everybody was sold out.
574
00:23:52.360 –> 00:23:53.200
It’s amazing.
575
00:23:53.640 –> 00:23:55.620
Did you spend any time with any of the players?
576
00:23:55.980 –> 00:23:57.080
From their perspective,
577
00:23:57.080 –> 00:23:59.620
were any of them trying to live the role
578
00:23:59.620 –> 00:24:01.080
in those jerseys?
579
00:24:02.160 –> 00:24:06.040
No, I didn’t spend any time with the kids beforehand.
580
00:24:07.860 –> 00:24:08.700
I mean, one of the things,
581
00:24:09.080 –> 00:24:10.720
and like, I mean, no secrets.
582
00:24:10.740 –> 00:24:12.520
Some of our listeners came up
583
00:24:12.520 –> 00:24:16.140
from various parts of the US for this night.
584
00:24:16.140 –> 00:24:18.020
And it’s funny how it all kind of started.
585
00:24:19.140 –> 00:24:22.440
When the Sudbury Wolves announced the game,
586
00:24:24.420 –> 00:24:26.440
a couple of them just bought tickets on a whim.
587
00:24:26.440 –> 00:24:30.120
They had no designs on coming or anything.
588
00:24:30.380 –> 00:24:30.540
They just said,
589
00:24:30.540 –> 00:24:31.440
oh, we’re just gonna buy tickets
590
00:24:31.440 –> 00:24:32.580
and be supportive of the team.
591
00:24:32.820 –> 00:24:33.920
And then that turned into,
592
00:24:34.260 –> 00:24:35.360
oh, well, why don’t we come up?
593
00:24:35.440 –> 00:24:37.760
We can fly into Buffalo and drive up from Buffalo.
594
00:24:39.120 –> 00:24:43.100
So I think the final total was seven of our listeners
595
00:24:43.100 –> 00:24:46.980
and then one who lives in Sudbury joined them.
596
00:24:47.600 –> 00:24:48.840
And they had a great time.
597
00:24:49.160 –> 00:24:50.660
But what I found amusing,
598
00:24:50.720 –> 00:24:51.760
and what they found amusing is
599
00:24:51.760 –> 00:24:53.960
when they were up there telling all the locals
600
00:24:53.960 –> 00:24:55.040
all where they came from
601
00:24:55.040 –> 00:24:57.920
that those people who were actually surprised
602
00:24:58.940 –> 00:25:02.700
that people were coming this far for that show.
603
00:25:03.280 –> 00:25:04.100
And I’m wondering,
604
00:25:04.240 –> 00:25:06.720
is it just that under the radar in Sudbury
605
00:25:06.720 –> 00:25:08.740
what the impact that, you know,
606
00:25:08.820 –> 00:25:12.060
Lederkeny and Shorsey are making for Sudbury
607
00:25:12.060 –> 00:25:13.940
as like a known city now,
608
00:25:14.120 –> 00:25:16.720
like a destination almost that people wanna go visit?
609
00:25:18.940 –> 00:25:22.420
I guess because it’s shot here, you know,
610
00:25:22.420 –> 00:25:28.140
it’s not, it doesn’t register as much as it does globally
611
00:25:28.140 –> 00:25:31.800
or internationally for everybody else.
612
00:25:33.160 –> 00:25:35.520
But, you know, it’s funny that you say that
613
00:25:35.520 –> 00:25:38.780
my mom’s friend was checking into her hotel in Australia
614
00:25:38.780 –> 00:25:41.760
and the guy checking her into the hotel said,
615
00:25:42.100 –> 00:25:43.860
oh man, you’re from Sudbury?
616
00:25:44.180 –> 00:25:44.300
Right.
617
00:25:44.300 –> 00:25:46.020
He’s like, I love Shorsey and Lederkeny.
618
00:25:46.120 –> 00:25:46.760
It’s like, holy.
619
00:25:47.920 –> 00:25:48.960
They must’ve met Jack.
620
00:25:49.120 –> 00:25:50.720
Must’ve met, yeah, Melbourne Jack.
621
00:25:50.720 –> 00:25:51.200
Well, yeah.
622
00:25:51.240 –> 00:25:52.600
And then my mom’s friend was like,
623
00:25:52.600 –> 00:25:53.680
oh, you think that’s cool?
624
00:25:53.740 –> 00:25:58.260
She’s like, JJ Frankie, JJ’s mom is my good friend.
625
00:25:58.400 –> 00:25:59.540
And the other guy just loses it.
626
00:25:59.560 –> 00:26:01.180
I’m like, that’s half a world away.
627
00:26:01.400 –> 00:26:01.700
I know.
628
00:26:01.760 –> 00:26:04.700
Well, but that’s the reach that these shows have now.
629
00:26:04.700 –> 00:26:06.760
And that’s why they’re putting Sudbury on the map.
630
00:26:06.760 –> 00:26:10.920
And it’s funny that the locals don’t seem to grasp that
631
00:26:10.920 –> 00:26:12.600
or maybe they just don’t,
632
00:26:12.720 –> 00:26:14.640
or maybe just cool not to care.
633
00:26:15.660 –> 00:26:16.280
Why is that?
634
00:26:16.680 –> 00:26:19.460
Because there’s really not that much going on up here.
635
00:26:20.720 –> 00:26:22.220
Well, I mean, I beg to differ.
636
00:26:22.400 –> 00:26:24.680
We had a lot of fun when we were there in September.
637
00:26:25.040 –> 00:26:27.000
My wife, Tanya, just joined us, by the way.
638
00:26:27.080 –> 00:26:28.040
Say hi, Tanya.
639
00:26:28.300 –> 00:26:28.960
Hello, hi.
640
00:26:29.000 –> 00:26:29.980
How are you?
641
00:26:30.560 –> 00:26:31.200
Good, how are you?
642
00:26:31.400 –> 00:26:31.660
Good.
643
00:26:31.980 –> 00:26:33.500
And I don’t know if you’ve seen the video
644
00:26:33.500 –> 00:26:37.900
I posted Max to Instagram,
645
00:26:37.900 –> 00:26:39.100
but yeah, we had a great time there.
646
00:26:39.400 –> 00:26:40.780
And Sudbury has a lot to offer, really.
647
00:26:41.840 –> 00:26:44.680
So it’s great that you guys are raising the profile
648
00:26:44.680 –> 00:26:46.180
and that you’re making people wonder,
649
00:26:46.180 –> 00:26:48.880
oh, whether we should go visit or not.
650
00:26:48.880 –> 00:26:51.120
I feel like, I’ve said this on Twitter,
651
00:26:51.840 –> 00:26:54.680
New Metric Media needs to organize like a con,
652
00:26:54.720 –> 00:26:55.640
like a,
653
00:26:56.900 –> 00:26:57.340
literally,
654
00:26:57.860 –> 00:26:59.720
Well, I don’t want to call it the UConn,
655
00:26:59.720 –> 00:27:00.700
the universe, right?
656
00:27:00.780 –> 00:27:03.200
But whatever, like get something happening
657
00:27:03.200 –> 00:27:04.860
there at the Colson or something, you know?
658
00:27:05.540 –> 00:27:06.960
Yeah, no, that’d be great.
659
00:27:08.580 –> 00:27:10.200
All right, we have some listener questions.
660
00:27:10.840 –> 00:27:11.840
So bear with me here,
661
00:27:11.840 –> 00:27:15.740
cause some of these will be from your fans.
662
00:27:15.960 –> 00:27:16.600
So for the first one,
663
00:27:16.620 –> 00:27:17.940
here’s from our friend, Erin,
664
00:27:17.940 –> 00:27:19.640
and she asked, well, what I just kind of asked,
665
00:27:19.680 –> 00:27:21.540
but how did it feel to have so much attention
666
00:27:21.540 –> 00:27:23.440
slash love at the Wolves game?
667
00:27:24.420 –> 00:27:25.000
Oh, it was great.
668
00:27:25.060 –> 00:27:26.900
Like I said, it was humbling.
669
00:27:27.120 –> 00:27:29.440
It was a great honor.
670
00:27:29.640 –> 00:27:32.040
It was all the things that you could feel.
671
00:27:33.700 –> 00:27:35.480
Oh, I should ask this question here.
672
00:27:35.560 –> 00:27:36.760
When it comes to eating a stick,
673
00:27:37.060 –> 00:27:37.840
bowl or no bowl?
674
00:27:41.410 –> 00:27:43.670
Well, I’m a fast eater, so no bowl.
675
00:27:44.750 –> 00:27:46.010
That’s the only answer.
676
00:27:46.270 –> 00:27:46.790
That’s the right answer.
677
00:27:47.650 –> 00:27:50.850
Tanya will disagree, but that is the only answer.
678
00:27:51.290 –> 00:27:52.610
There’s nuts everywhere.
679
00:27:52.850 –> 00:27:53.750
It’s just fact.
680
00:27:54.170 –> 00:27:55.030
It’s not even.
681
00:27:55.570 –> 00:27:58.830
Well, because there’s actually, here’s a fun fact.
682
00:27:59.630 –> 00:28:02.890
There were no nuts on the sticks that we had.
683
00:28:02.890 –> 00:28:04.830
They were toffee pieces.
684
00:28:05.990 –> 00:28:07.470
Oh, actually that sounds delicious.
685
00:28:07.470 –> 00:28:07.870
Yeah.
686
00:28:08.090 –> 00:28:10.290
Cause they’re from, they were from Chapmans.
687
00:28:10.530 –> 00:28:11.090
Yeah, that’s right.
688
00:28:11.450 –> 00:28:12.150
Oh, nice.
689
00:28:13.490 –> 00:28:13.890
Yeah.
690
00:28:13.890 –> 00:28:17.110
Did Chapmans have any idea that you guys
691
00:28:17.110 –> 00:28:18.510
were bringing this kind of attention to them
692
00:28:18.510 –> 00:28:20.170
before last weekend?
693
00:28:21.150 –> 00:28:22.490
I have no idea.
694
00:28:25.410 –> 00:28:27.090
Let’s see, the next question here from Tobias.
695
00:28:27.230 –> 00:28:28.550
What are the differences on the sets
696
00:28:28.550 –> 00:28:30.370
of Lederkenny and Shorzy?
697
00:28:30.870 –> 00:28:32.730
First of all, is it basically the same crew
698
00:28:32.730 –> 00:28:33.390
on both shows?
699
00:28:34.550 –> 00:28:35.450
It’s, yeah.
700
00:28:35.910 –> 00:28:36.850
More or less.
701
00:28:36.950 –> 00:28:39.950
There’s a couple small changes between some people,
702
00:28:39.950 –> 00:28:42.390
but yeah, it’s a family.
703
00:28:42.390 –> 00:28:45.070
It’s been a family since season one.
704
00:28:45.810 –> 00:28:46.890
So other than the actors,
705
00:28:47.010 –> 00:28:48.330
what would be the biggest difference
706
00:28:48.330 –> 00:28:49.490
between the two sets?
707
00:28:57.280 –> 00:29:01.150
I mean, probably the fact that it revolves
708
00:29:01.150 –> 00:29:03.530
more around hockey than Shor.
709
00:29:03.790 –> 00:29:04.190
Yeah.
710
00:29:05.090 –> 00:29:06.150
Now, I know that.
711
00:29:07.770 –> 00:29:08.690
I like that answer.
712
00:29:09.130 –> 00:29:09.150
Yeah.
713
00:29:09.470 –> 00:29:12.170
I know Lederkenny is more kind of like a skits
714
00:29:12.170 –> 00:29:14.630
or whatever, like it’s not a run on story.
715
00:29:14.770 –> 00:29:16.350
Each episode kind of has, you know,
716
00:29:16.410 –> 00:29:19.370
it’s kind of little sketches.
717
00:29:20.010 –> 00:29:22.570
And Shorzy is more of a run on story.
718
00:29:22.750 –> 00:29:24.630
And I know, and I’ve heard how frantic
719
00:29:24.630 –> 00:29:26.910
like the pace is shooting Lederkenny.
720
00:29:26.950 –> 00:29:28.030
Is it the same in Shorzy?
721
00:29:29.110 –> 00:29:29.410
Yeah.
722
00:29:29.650 –> 00:29:31.310
Yeah, it’s basically the same.
723
00:29:31.510 –> 00:29:32.610
It’s pretty crazy.
724
00:29:32.850 –> 00:29:35.670
You know, I work on a lot of other things
725
00:29:35.670 –> 00:29:38.050
and we’ll do like six pages of dialogue
726
00:29:38.050 –> 00:29:41.230
in like a 14 hour day on some shows.
727
00:29:41.630 –> 00:29:43.410
And we’ll be done a nine hour day
728
00:29:43.410 –> 00:29:45.450
and 24 pages of dialogue on Lederkenny.
729
00:29:45.910 –> 00:29:46.750
That’s crazy.
730
00:29:47.130 –> 00:29:47.690
Oh yeah.
731
00:29:47.690 –> 00:29:52.630
And I mean, with mostly, like with a few exceptions,
732
00:29:52.830 –> 00:29:54.110
a lot of new actors, right?
733
00:29:54.110 –> 00:29:55.730
And a lot of people who are new to acting.
734
00:29:57.030 –> 00:29:57.410
Yeah.
735
00:29:57.710 –> 00:29:58.050
Yes.
736
00:29:58.170 –> 00:30:00.210
In Shorzy, we were all, yeah, like you said,
737
00:30:00.390 –> 00:30:01.810
hockey players pretending to be actors.
738
00:30:02.230 –> 00:30:05.410
And, you know, all of us are quite, quite green.
739
00:30:05.630 –> 00:30:06.070
Right.
740
00:30:06.510 –> 00:30:10.930
Who would you say has had the most difficult transition
741
00:30:11.790 –> 00:30:13.510
between like the sluts, for example,
742
00:30:13.510 –> 00:30:17.030
would it be Dohlo, you, Goody?
743
00:30:21.050 –> 00:30:22.110
That’s a tough one.
744
00:30:22.150 –> 00:30:22.490
Yeah.
745
00:30:22.490 –> 00:30:24.490
That’s a tough one because Dohlo gets to play himself.
746
00:30:24.610 –> 00:30:28.190
So it’s not really much change, which is pretty cool.
747
00:30:28.290 –> 00:30:29.510
And Terry is Terry.
748
00:30:29.610 –> 00:30:30.050
Yeah.
749
00:30:30.050 –> 00:30:35.350
You know, whether, like everybody’s just really themselves.
750
00:30:35.790 –> 00:30:36.070
All right.
751
00:30:36.170 –> 00:30:37.850
So it was very, it was easy in that sense.
752
00:30:37.850 –> 00:30:39.390
They’re like, just come on and be you.
753
00:30:39.390 –> 00:30:41.230
And here’s some lines you have to read.
754
00:30:41.570 –> 00:30:42.850
Yeah, more or less.
755
00:30:43.310 –> 00:30:45.090
So really you were the one with the biggest challenge
756
00:30:45.090 –> 00:30:48.090
cause you had to completely reinvent you.
757
00:30:48.370 –> 00:30:50.350
Well, except he didn’t have, he didn’t have many lines.
758
00:30:50.810 –> 00:30:52.150
In very few words.
759
00:30:52.790 –> 00:30:52.950
Yeah.
760
00:30:52.950 –> 00:30:53.490
Yeah, exactly.
761
00:30:54.310 –> 00:30:56.070
Everything was in French too.
762
00:30:56.730 –> 00:30:58.250
And one last one from Tobias here.
763
00:30:58.290 –> 00:31:00.650
How does it feel to be the most desired man in Quebec?
764
00:31:03.810 –> 00:31:06.030
I mean, I don’t know what Dohlo might be upset
765
00:31:06.030 –> 00:31:07.110
about that one.
766
00:31:11.560 –> 00:31:13.800
You know, my back’s pretty sore, but.
767
00:31:15.260 –> 00:31:16.620
It’s pretty all right.
768
00:31:17.320 –> 00:31:17.840
Well played.
769
00:31:18.380 –> 00:31:22.040
You’re given some, you know, pretty fine starlets
770
00:31:22.040 –> 00:31:23.980
to star across on that show.
771
00:31:25.240 –> 00:31:26.640
Let’s expand a bit on that one.
772
00:31:26.780 –> 00:31:28.860
So like, I mean, yeah, you’re from Sudbury.
773
00:31:28.900 –> 00:31:29.680
You’re not from Quebec.
774
00:31:29.880 –> 00:31:30.960
Have you ever lived in Quebec?
775
00:31:31.860 –> 00:31:32.100
Nope.
776
00:31:32.740 –> 00:31:33.000
No.
777
00:31:33.340 –> 00:31:36.840
So you’ve given all these storylines and beliefs
778
00:31:36.840 –> 00:31:39.140
in this like Quebec never forgets thing.
779
00:31:39.780 –> 00:31:41.620
Well, you, you know, your character could relate to it
780
00:31:41.620 –> 00:31:43.320
but you personally can’t relate to a lot
781
00:31:43.320 –> 00:31:44.900
of the things that are being thrown at you
782
00:31:44.900 –> 00:31:46.220
from that perspective, right?
783
00:31:47.580 –> 00:31:48.500
Yes and no.
784
00:31:48.820 –> 00:31:51.860
I mean, you know, my, like I said, my dad’s French
785
00:31:51.860 –> 00:31:53.900
and my grandparents are French on his side.
786
00:31:54.600 –> 00:31:56.940
So I can definitely relate.
787
00:31:57.580 –> 00:31:57.980
Okay.
788
00:31:58.820 –> 00:32:00.960
And how did you feel when you saw all the lines
789
00:32:00.960 –> 00:32:03.520
where you are, like Alar said, you being,
790
00:32:03.940 –> 00:32:05.940
you’re hooking up with the best of the best
791
00:32:05.940 –> 00:32:07.200
that Quebec has to offer.
792
00:32:10.840 –> 00:32:12.660
Or we’ll skip that question right away.
793
00:32:15.140 –> 00:32:16.740
Try to get the man in trouble.
794
00:32:16.860 –> 00:32:17.520
What’d you guys do?
795
00:32:17.720 –> 00:32:18.560
Yeah, how do you answer that?
796
00:32:18.820 –> 00:32:19.600
I don’t sound pompous.
797
00:32:19.600 –> 00:32:20.000
I know.
798
00:32:20.980 –> 00:32:21.460
I know.
799
00:32:21.860 –> 00:32:22.840
Sorry, we’ll move on.
800
00:32:23.240 –> 00:32:23.640
We’ll.
801
00:32:23.760 –> 00:32:24.240
Fair enough.
802
00:32:25.300 –> 00:32:25.960
Let’s see here.
803
00:32:26.060 –> 00:32:26.820
Come hang out for a weekend
804
00:32:26.820 –> 00:32:28.040
and you’ll see how I can relate.
805
00:32:29.140 –> 00:32:31.640
Hey, I’ll take you up on that.
806
00:32:32.740 –> 00:32:33.720
Joey here wanted to know,
807
00:32:33.780 –> 00:32:35.120
did you have a previous understanding
808
00:32:35.120 –> 00:32:37.780
of the universe’s reach in the U.S.?
809
00:32:37.780 –> 00:32:38.400
Yeah.
810
00:32:38.400 –> 00:32:40.000
I mean, you’ve kind of touched that on the bit
811
00:32:40.000 –> 00:32:41.280
but were you surprised?
812
00:32:42.500 –> 00:32:43.800
I was blown away.
813
00:32:43.940 –> 00:32:44.300
Yeah.
814
00:32:45.040 –> 00:32:49.120
Yeah, I was blown away with the amount of waves
815
00:32:49.120 –> 00:32:51.900
that Shorzy made and I still,
816
00:32:51.900 –> 00:32:54.780
and I think that we’re still kind of, you know,
817
00:32:54.860 –> 00:32:56.580
especially for me, you know,
818
00:32:56.700 –> 00:33:00.620
first time really being a main character in anything.
819
00:33:02.520 –> 00:33:03.320
But at the end of the day,
820
00:33:03.520 –> 00:33:05.200
I feel like I’m still just a guy.
821
00:33:06.020 –> 00:33:07.360
And there’s all this extra,
822
00:33:07.840 –> 00:33:10.540
all this extra stuff that,
823
00:33:11.040 –> 00:33:13.060
yeah, that’s hard to grasp for sure.
824
00:33:15.580 –> 00:33:16.700
Casey wants to know,
825
00:33:16.840 –> 00:33:19.000
how is playing hockey different when there are cameras?
826
00:33:29.200 –> 00:33:29.940
I guess there’s no,
827
00:33:30.080 –> 00:33:31.960
there isn’t somebody trying to take the puck off of you
828
00:33:31.960 –> 00:33:33.020
or take your head off, right?
829
00:33:33.380 –> 00:33:33.820
Yeah.
830
00:33:33.860 –> 00:33:34.740
You know the play.
831
00:33:35.520 –> 00:33:36.020
Yeah, yeah.
832
00:33:36.040 –> 00:33:36.480
That’s it.
833
00:33:36.620 –> 00:33:37.660
Yeah, you know the play.
834
00:33:40.380 –> 00:33:42.900
Joey asks, sushi, Mackie or assorted tempura?
835
00:33:45.060 –> 00:33:45.500
Sushi.
836
00:33:45.500 –> 00:33:46.760
Oh, there you go.
837
00:33:46.960 –> 00:33:49.240
He has some follow-up questions.
838
00:33:49.480 –> 00:33:50.900
Doghouse or townhouse?
839
00:33:52.520 –> 00:33:56.900
Oh, I mean, doghouse for wings, townhouse for burger.
840
00:33:57.300 –> 00:33:58.100
Oh, there you go.
841
00:33:58.240 –> 00:34:00.900
See, our listeners spent a lot of time at the townhouse
842
00:34:00.900 –> 00:34:02.140
while they were up there last weekend.
843
00:34:02.940 –> 00:34:03.760
Yeah, I saw them.
844
00:34:04.360 –> 00:34:05.060
That’s right.
845
00:34:05.660 –> 00:34:06.640
I went there after the game.
846
00:34:06.800 –> 00:34:07.080
Yeah.
847
00:34:07.260 –> 00:34:08.560
This one might get you in trouble.
848
00:34:08.679 –> 00:34:11.280
Colson’s or Pepe Panini, Pepe Lounge?
849
00:34:13.239 –> 00:34:13.780
Oh, Pepe.
850
00:34:14.159 –> 00:34:14.780
Oh, there you go.
851
00:34:14.780 –> 00:34:16.040
That won’t get you in trouble at all.
852
00:34:17.540 –> 00:34:18.159
Very good.
853
00:34:18.400 –> 00:34:22.560
Yeah, we had the Pitter-Patter Panini.
854
00:34:22.800 –> 00:34:24.820
That’s a, and it was delicious.
855
00:34:25.659 –> 00:34:26.699
Yeah, they are quite good.
856
00:34:27.380 –> 00:34:30.940
Jay and his wife really know how to throw down
857
00:34:30.940 –> 00:34:33.380
in the kitchen and make some pretty bomb ass paninis.
858
00:34:34.620 –> 00:34:36.440
Well, is that your favorite item on the menu there
859
00:34:36.440 –> 00:34:38.880
or is there something else that you get when you go?
860
00:34:39.639 –> 00:34:44.400
I always like the Philly cheesesteak
861
00:34:44.400 –> 00:34:47.980
or Zia Zinger because I used to work at SRO,
862
00:34:48.179 –> 00:34:50.560
which is now closed, but it was a bar beside Pepe’s.
863
00:34:50.639 –> 00:34:53.219
So we used to go there as a bouncer.
864
00:34:53.460 –> 00:34:54.920
So I used to go there at the end of the night
865
00:34:54.920 –> 00:34:57.080
and get some sandwiches before going home.
866
00:34:57.300 –> 00:34:57.860
Very good.
867
00:34:58.080 –> 00:34:58.900
You were a bouncer.
868
00:34:59.460 –> 00:34:59.920
Shocking.
869
00:35:02.480 –> 00:35:04.420
What’s your favorite thing about Sudbury?
870
00:35:04.520 –> 00:35:05.300
That’s from Casey.
871
00:35:07.880 –> 00:35:08.520
It’s home.
872
00:35:10.060 –> 00:35:13.960
You know, the people are nice and it’s just, it’s home.
873
00:35:14.720 –> 00:35:15.120
Yeah.
874
00:35:15.500 –> 00:35:17.660
Have you had any comments on, I’ll expand a bit on that.
875
00:35:17.660 –> 00:35:20.280
I mean, we talked about in our show about Shorzy
876
00:35:20.280 –> 00:35:23.600
really being almost like a love letter to Sudbury, right?
877
00:35:23.740 –> 00:35:25.800
And a lot of shows, they never really called out
878
00:35:25.800 –> 00:35:27.540
the town they’re in unless it’s like a New York
879
00:35:27.540 –> 00:35:29.180
or an LA or something like that.
880
00:35:29.400 –> 00:35:31.860
But it was no, there was no hiding Sudbury in this.
881
00:35:31.880 –> 00:35:33.260
It was very much front and center
882
00:35:33.260 –> 00:35:35.440
and almost a character on the show.
883
00:35:35.900 –> 00:35:37.520
Being from Sudbury, and I mean,
884
00:35:37.580 –> 00:35:38.940
even if it’s other people talk to you,
885
00:35:38.940 –> 00:35:41.360
what was the general vibe about all these
886
00:35:41.360 –> 00:35:44.240
different locations and hot spots and things like that
887
00:35:44.240 –> 00:35:46.260
being highlighted in a show like this?
888
00:35:46.940 –> 00:35:48.380
Oh, it was pretty cool to see.
889
00:35:49.120 –> 00:35:50.760
You know, like you said, being from Sudbury
890
00:35:50.760 –> 00:35:53.200
and seeing like all these staples in the community
891
00:35:53.200 –> 00:35:55.660
being, you know, given some spotlight.
892
00:35:57.240 –> 00:36:00.180
It’s super cool to see and really cool to be a part of.
893
00:36:00.960 –> 00:36:01.360
All right, cool.
894
00:36:01.680 –> 00:36:03.420
Our friend, Awesome, she was one of the people
895
00:36:03.420 –> 00:36:05.520
who came up last weekend.
896
00:36:06.660 –> 00:36:08.860
She said, it was great meeting you at the game
897
00:36:08.860 –> 00:36:10.740
and thanks for agreeing to come on the podcast.
898
00:36:10.740 –> 00:36:13.260
Thank you, Awesome, for speaking on our behalf.
899
00:36:13.760 –> 00:36:16.660
I have a friend on Discord who is big time shy
900
00:36:16.660 –> 00:36:18.800
and has some questions, so I’m asking for her.
901
00:36:18.920 –> 00:36:19.340
So here we go.
902
00:36:19.500 –> 00:36:21.580
These are questions from a listener’s friend.
903
00:36:22.520 –> 00:36:23.980
Can you talk about your tattoos?
904
00:36:24.120 –> 00:36:25.320
All right, let’s talk about your tattoos.
905
00:36:25.380 –> 00:36:26.480
You’re pretty inked up.
906
00:36:26.800 –> 00:36:28.900
Do you have any good stories for any of those tattoos?
907
00:36:31.820 –> 00:36:33.500
Well, both arms are done.
908
00:36:33.820 –> 00:36:34.960
It’s all Greek mythology.
909
00:36:35.300 –> 00:36:40.300
So like my hands are like,
910
00:36:40.300 –> 00:36:43.260
Medusa on my forearm and then my upper arms,
911
00:36:43.400 –> 00:36:46.660
I have Zeus on my right upper arm
912
00:36:46.660 –> 00:36:49.380
and I got Hades on the left upper arm.
913
00:36:50.900 –> 00:36:51.540
It’s amazing.
914
00:36:52.420 –> 00:36:53.400
What’s your draw to that?
915
00:36:53.640 –> 00:36:54.700
I mean, I love Greek mythology.
916
00:36:54.940 –> 00:36:56.200
What’s your draw to that?
917
00:36:56.660 –> 00:36:57.240
Same thing.
918
00:36:57.480 –> 00:36:59.080
I’ve always liked Greek mythology.
919
00:36:59.340 –> 00:37:00.420
You know, Hercules growing up
920
00:37:00.420 –> 00:37:02.320
is probably one of my favorite cartoons.
921
00:37:02.960 –> 00:37:04.720
The stories are dark and badass.
922
00:37:05.420 –> 00:37:06.160
They are.
923
00:37:07.020 –> 00:37:07.480
Very cool.
924
00:37:08.100 –> 00:37:08.920
Related question.
925
00:37:08.920 –> 00:37:10.420
Whose idea was it to have Frankie
926
00:37:10.420 –> 00:37:12.240
wearing short sleeves all the time?
927
00:37:16.140 –> 00:37:18.460
I’m pretty sure it was the man with the master plan.
928
00:37:18.600 –> 00:37:20.000
It was Kiso.
929
00:37:21.700 –> 00:37:21.900
Okay.
930
00:37:22.500 –> 00:37:23.420
She also asked,
931
00:37:23.480 –> 00:37:24.880
would you mind sharing how you broke your tooth?
932
00:37:24.940 –> 00:37:27.000
But we now know the truth to that,
933
00:37:27.000 –> 00:37:28.540
that it’s actually fake.
934
00:37:29.100 –> 00:37:29.960
So thank you for that.
935
00:37:30.140 –> 00:37:32.400
And lastly, how much ice cream did you guys eat
936
00:37:32.400 –> 00:37:34.260
filming all the scenes with the drumsticks?
937
00:37:35.020 –> 00:37:35.940
Oh my God.
938
00:37:35.940 –> 00:37:39.700
The one day in the dressing room scene,
939
00:37:40.200 –> 00:37:42.560
I swear to God, I must’ve had like five sticks.
940
00:37:42.780 –> 00:37:43.600
Oh my.
941
00:37:45.120 –> 00:37:47.320
So no spit, no spit pail for you?
942
00:37:48.320 –> 00:37:49.000
Well, yeah.
943
00:37:49.060 –> 00:37:51.160
But you would have to like start a new one
944
00:37:51.160 –> 00:37:52.900
at the beginning of the top of every scene, right?
945
00:37:53.000 –> 00:37:55.220
Because in order to match the continuity.
946
00:37:55.500 –> 00:37:55.940
Sure.
947
00:37:55.940 –> 00:37:57.420
So yeah, there was some, yeah.
948
00:37:57.880 –> 00:37:59.880
I was a little bit sick of sticks
949
00:38:01.200 –> 00:38:03.160
after by the end of it.
950
00:38:03.590 –> 00:38:03.840
Yeah.
951
00:38:04.820 –> 00:38:08.020
One final question from an awesome friend.
952
00:38:08.300 –> 00:38:10.260
And this is more of a request.
953
00:38:10.320 –> 00:38:11.140
Apropos of nothing,
954
00:38:11.500 –> 00:38:13.800
would you mind saying, hi, Allie Rae?
955
00:38:15.180 –> 00:38:15.980
Hi, Allie Rae.
956
00:38:16.120 –> 00:38:16.560
There you go.
957
00:38:16.580 –> 00:38:19.380
She can clip that now and use it as a ringtone,
958
00:38:19.540 –> 00:38:20.340
I guess is what.
959
00:38:23.960 –> 00:38:24.820
Oh, cheating.
960
00:38:25.680 –> 00:38:26.160
Cheating.
961
00:38:26.680 –> 00:38:26.980
That’s amazing.
962
00:38:27.980 –> 00:38:32.240
Max, what was the vibe on set amongst the guys?
963
00:38:32.240 –> 00:38:34.180
What was the relationship amongst you guys?
964
00:38:34.240 –> 00:38:36.580
We were all like true like great friends on screen
965
00:38:36.580 –> 00:38:37.400
and off screen.
966
00:38:37.600 –> 00:38:38.980
Or is there any particular people
967
00:38:38.980 –> 00:38:40.500
that you really connected with
968
00:38:40.500 –> 00:38:42.940
even between Letter Kenny or Shorzy?
969
00:38:44.960 –> 00:38:48.520
Everybody on Shorzy was an absolute beauty.
970
00:38:48.760 –> 00:38:52.240
I don’t think you could have asked
971
00:38:52.240 –> 00:38:53.880
for a better first meet
972
00:38:53.880 –> 00:38:56.260
and for a better first season
973
00:38:56.260 –> 00:38:57.880
with everybody that was there.
974
00:38:59.880 –> 00:39:02.940
Joel and I have spent the most time together
975
00:39:02.940 –> 00:39:06.460
since we wrapped up season one
976
00:39:06.460 –> 00:39:08.520
because we do a lot of snowboarding and stuff together.
977
00:39:08.520 –> 00:39:09.240
Oh, cool.
978
00:39:10.540 –> 00:39:10.800
Nice.
979
00:39:10.940 –> 00:39:12.620
So I would say that, you know,
980
00:39:12.620 –> 00:39:16.040
he’s probably the one that I’ve had the most fun with
981
00:39:16.040 –> 00:39:18.180
just because we’ve spent more time together.
982
00:39:18.580 –> 00:39:20.880
But everybody on that show through and through
983
00:39:20.880 –> 00:39:23.540
is just an absolute fantastic person
984
00:39:23.540 –> 00:39:26.340
and it is all friends and camaraderie.
985
00:39:27.140 –> 00:39:27.360
That’s awesome.
986
00:39:27.460 –> 00:39:27.860
That’s amazing.
987
00:39:27.860 –> 00:39:29.860
Makes going into work,
988
00:39:30.140 –> 00:39:31.900
and especially those long days,
989
00:39:32.980 –> 00:39:34.740
that much better and easier, eh?
990
00:39:35.240 –> 00:39:36.800
Totally, totally.
991
00:39:37.920 –> 00:39:40.620
What do your parents say about the work you’re doing?
992
00:39:41.900 –> 00:39:42.940
They love it.
993
00:39:43.760 –> 00:39:46.580
You know, I don’t, if you ask my mom,
994
00:39:46.620 –> 00:39:47.660
I don’t think she’s surprised
995
00:39:47.660 –> 00:39:50.700
that I managed to find my way
996
00:39:50.700 –> 00:39:53.240
in front of a camera for attention.
997
00:39:55.680 –> 00:39:57.400
But you know, her opinion is biased
998
00:39:57.400 –> 00:39:58.560
so it doesn’t really count.
999
00:39:59.960 –> 00:40:00.700
Very good.
1000
00:40:00.900 –> 00:40:03.780
Now you said you’re headed to Toronto soon
1001
00:40:03.780 –> 00:40:06.220
to work on some other productions.
1002
00:40:06.280 –> 00:40:07.440
Can you talk about some of them?
1003
00:40:08.920 –> 00:40:12.660
I’m not 100% sure if I can, but yeah.
1004
00:40:12.660 –> 00:40:13.840
We’ll just sidestep that then.
1005
00:40:13.840 –> 00:40:14.720
Okay then.
1006
00:40:16.900 –> 00:40:18.300
So let me shift that a bit.
1007
00:40:18.360 –> 00:40:20.080
I mean, you’ve done a lot of crew work,
1008
00:40:20.240 –> 00:40:21.920
it sounds like, and you’re continuing to do that,
1009
00:40:21.940 –> 00:40:23.420
but through Shores in Letter County,
1010
00:40:23.800 –> 00:40:24.880
you’ve gotten some face time.
1011
00:40:24.880 –> 00:40:27.260
Are you exploring or looking
1012
00:40:27.260 –> 00:40:30.800
and pursuing more on-camera, on-screen roles?
1013
00:40:32.120 –> 00:40:35.880
I wouldn’t really say that I’m actively pursuing it.
1014
00:40:36.200 –> 00:40:38.860
You know, I was very fortunate that Jared came up to me
1015
00:40:38.860 –> 00:40:40.660
and offered me this role.
1016
00:40:41.540 –> 00:40:45.960
And obviously I took it if my appearance or something
1017
00:40:48.300 –> 00:40:49.640
tickles somebody in the right way
1018
00:40:49.640 –> 00:40:51.420
where they think they would like to use me,
1019
00:40:51.440 –> 00:40:53.940
they can always reach out and I would go from there.
1020
00:40:53.940 –> 00:40:54.800
But for the most part,
1021
00:40:54.840 –> 00:40:57.440
I really do enjoy the technician side of it.
1022
00:40:57.660 –> 00:40:58.540
Yeah, fair enough.
1023
00:40:58.980 –> 00:41:00.700
So you’d be happy to just continue doing that?
1024
00:41:00.760 –> 00:41:04.740
Would you want to maybe try photography
1025
00:41:04.740 –> 00:41:07.460
or directing one day
1026
00:41:07.460 –> 00:41:09.160
or are you happy kind of being in the crew?
1027
00:41:10.280 –> 00:41:12.760
No, I’m happy doing what I’m doing, for sure.
1028
00:41:14.300 –> 00:41:14.740
Very good.
1029
00:41:15.040 –> 00:41:16.500
Well, I mean, so what’s, you know,
1030
00:41:16.500 –> 00:41:19.600
you’re basically now a big part
1031
00:41:19.600 –> 00:41:22.380
of two cult following shows.
1032
00:41:22.840 –> 00:41:24.120
How does that feel?
1033
00:41:27.120 –> 00:41:29.380
To be honest, I’m not sure how to describe it.
1034
00:41:29.800 –> 00:41:33.520
And it’s still grasping at it.
1035
00:41:33.960 –> 00:41:35.460
It’s, you know, at the end of the day,
1036
00:41:35.560 –> 00:41:37.800
it’s like I said, I’m just a guy.
1037
00:41:37.860 –> 00:41:41.620
I was very fortunate to be right place, right time,
1038
00:41:41.760 –> 00:41:42.600
right skillset.
1039
00:41:42.620 –> 00:41:45.100
I don’t know, it could be a whole compilation of things,
1040
00:41:45.320 –> 00:41:49.640
but yeah, it’s groovy.
1041
00:41:50.820 –> 00:41:51.520
I like that.
1042
00:41:51.520 –> 00:41:55.820
One thing I love that when you talked about early on
1043
00:41:55.820 –> 00:41:58.040
in that game that you play where you approached Jared
1044
00:41:58.040 –> 00:42:00.620
and said, hey, why didn’t you ask me to play hockey?
1045
00:42:00.780 –> 00:42:02.060
I mean, that’s a great example
1046
00:42:02.060 –> 00:42:04.080
of never missing an opportunity.
1047
00:42:04.140 –> 00:42:06.000
Even if it doesn’t feel like one at the time,
1048
00:42:06.440 –> 00:42:09.100
you just said, hey, something I can do, I’m in
1049
00:42:09.100 –> 00:42:12.720
and look potentially where that’s taken the rest of it.
1050
00:42:12.740 –> 00:42:13.540
And it’s amazing.
1051
00:42:13.580 –> 00:42:14.520
I’m so glad it did,
1052
00:42:14.660 –> 00:42:16.800
but you never miss those opportunities, right?
1053
00:42:17.440 –> 00:42:19.260
Yeah, no, Wayne Gretzky said it best.
1054
00:42:19.260 –> 00:42:21.740
You miss 100% of the shots you never take.
1055
00:42:22.040 –> 00:42:22.860
Yeah, absolutely.
1056
00:42:22.940 –> 00:42:24.760
That’s one of the best pieces of advice.
1057
00:42:25.180 –> 00:42:26.740
One last question from me.
1058
00:42:27.080 –> 00:42:29.700
Who would you say is your best friend on Schorzy?
1059
00:42:29.720 –> 00:42:30.340
Would it be Dolo?
1060
00:42:32.300 –> 00:42:33.920
Yeah, yeah, I’d say Dolo.
1061
00:42:34.340 –> 00:42:35.680
You guys spend a lot of time together?
1062
00:42:36.640 –> 00:42:41.660
Yeah, yeah, because him and Andrew
1063
00:42:41.660 –> 00:42:42.820
are both in Montreal.
1064
00:42:44.340 –> 00:42:48.940
So I’ve seen them more than I’ve seen Uncle Terry
1065
00:42:48.940 –> 00:42:51.500
and the other boys.
1066
00:42:51.720 –> 00:42:54.080
I did get out to go golfing once
1067
00:42:55.360 –> 00:42:57.960
with Brandon this summer, which was pretty nice.
1068
00:42:59.320 –> 00:43:01.520
Do you think we could get Dolo on the podcast?
1069
00:43:01.740 –> 00:43:02.620
Would he come on?
1070
00:43:03.700 –> 00:43:04.720
I’m sure he would.
1071
00:43:04.840 –> 00:43:06.000
I don’t know, I’ll have to write that down.
1072
00:43:06.160 –> 00:43:07.240
I wouldn’t be surprised.
1073
00:43:08.440 –> 00:43:11.000
I think our listeners would love to hear from him.
1074
00:43:11.180 –> 00:43:13.800
Actually, we will be hearing from him soon,
1075
00:43:15.460 –> 00:43:17.740
singing us or wrapping us off this episode here.
1076
00:43:17.740 –> 00:43:20.080
But anyway, Matt, do you have any final questions?
1077
00:43:21.520 –> 00:43:23.120
I mean, I just love what you guys do.
1078
00:43:23.240 –> 00:43:24.700
I’m so glad where it’s come.
1079
00:43:24.920 –> 00:43:27.860
I mean, we ask anyone comes on at some point.
1080
00:43:28.480 –> 00:43:30.240
I mean, I assume you’re a fan
1081
00:43:30.240 –> 00:43:31.920
of like even Letter Kenny in the verse.
1082
00:43:32.160 –> 00:43:33.380
Do you have any favorite episodes
1083
00:43:33.380 –> 00:43:35.360
or standout moments in the shows
1084
00:43:35.360 –> 00:43:37.860
that have hit home with you?
1085
00:43:38.900 –> 00:43:41.140
And either show, Schorzy or Letter Kenny?
1086
00:43:43.600 –> 00:43:46.680
The last episode of the first season of Schorzy,
1087
00:43:46.680 –> 00:43:48.600
like when we’re playing the song
1088
00:43:48.600 –> 00:43:50.980
and it’s an emotional time.
1089
00:43:52.000 –> 00:43:56.720
It definitely makes the hair on your arms stand up
1090
00:43:56.720 –> 00:43:58.300
and you do get the tingles for sure.
1091
00:43:58.900 –> 00:44:02.140
Definitely that final game feeling
1092
00:44:02.140 –> 00:44:05.100
is something that you can’t really replicate
1093
00:44:05.850 –> 00:44:07.460
unless you’ve done it.
1094
00:44:08.810 –> 00:44:13.090
Would you say that’s your most memorable day on set
1095
00:44:13.090 –> 00:44:15.910
for either show or are there others?
1096
00:44:15.910 –> 00:44:18.770
I mean, the slash, the original slash
1097
00:44:18.770 –> 00:44:21.050
has to be probably one of the most memorable days.
1098
00:44:21.130 –> 00:44:23.510
How can you forget you’ve got a bruise to…
1099
00:44:25.310 –> 00:44:28.470
What was Jared’s reaction when he saw the bruise?
1100
00:44:29.030 –> 00:44:30.010
Oh, he felt bad.
1101
00:44:32.090 –> 00:44:34.650
He felt bad after he sent the stuff across,
1102
00:44:34.930 –> 00:44:36.350
but he did feel bad.
1103
00:44:38.950 –> 00:44:40.010
Did you have any questions?
1104
00:44:40.430 –> 00:44:42.870
I’m not entirely sure what you guys covered,
1105
00:44:43.130 –> 00:44:45.390
but thank you so much for coming out
1106
00:44:45.390 –> 00:44:49.490
because all of our listeners are just crazy fans
1107
00:44:49.490 –> 00:44:51.910
that are just craving content,
1108
00:44:51.910 –> 00:44:53.890
as much content as possible.
1109
00:44:54.290 –> 00:44:56.030
So we really appreciate you coming out
1110
00:44:56.030 –> 00:44:58.010
and talking with us.
1111
00:44:58.670 –> 00:45:02.750
Is there any story that you wanna share with us
1112
00:45:02.750 –> 00:45:04.350
that we haven’t asked you
1113
00:45:04.350 –> 00:45:08.550
that was like a wow moment of either a moment
1114
00:45:08.550 –> 00:45:10.650
where you’re like, I can’t believe I’m here.
1115
00:45:10.790 –> 00:45:12.490
I can’t believe I’m doing this
1116
00:45:12.490 –> 00:45:16.850
or watching yourself on TV going, wow, that’s me.
1117
00:45:17.970 –> 00:45:19.690
Like you were kind of saying before
1118
00:45:19.690 –> 00:45:22.370
you were in the background before
1119
00:45:22.370 –> 00:45:24.250
and now you’re front and center.
1120
00:45:25.770 –> 00:45:27.010
How’s that feel?
1121
00:45:29.750 –> 00:45:31.950
Man, that’s a great question.
1122
00:45:33.070 –> 00:45:35.490
It feels surreal.
1123
00:45:36.510 –> 00:45:40.950
It feels very surreal to be where I am
1124
00:45:40.950 –> 00:45:45.090
and the position that I’m in with such a great team.
1125
00:45:45.950 –> 00:45:48.210
And just like I said, from top to bottom,
1126
00:45:48.570 –> 00:45:50.650
everybody is just fantastic to deal with.
1127
00:45:50.770 –> 00:45:54.350
Everybody’s the best and it just makes for,
1128
00:45:54.350 –> 00:45:58.890
I guess, easy transition as we continue forward with it.
1129
00:46:00.590 –> 00:46:03.450
It must be just such an amazing ride.
1130
00:46:04.430 –> 00:46:07.350
Yeah, it truly, it truly, truly is.
1131
00:46:07.810 –> 00:46:08.410
That’s awesome.
1132
00:46:08.410 –> 00:46:09.290
One quick question.
1133
00:46:09.370 –> 00:46:11.250
You talk about the path forward
1134
00:46:11.250 –> 00:46:13.190
and cut me off if I’m teetering
1135
00:46:13.190 –> 00:46:14.370
into things I shouldn’t be asking,
1136
00:46:14.410 –> 00:46:16.670
but we’re on the assumption season two
1137
00:46:16.670 –> 00:46:18.490
is going to be announced anytime soon.
1138
00:46:18.810 –> 00:46:21.910
If you haven’t seen a script or anything at this point,
1139
00:46:22.150 –> 00:46:24.770
where do you see JJ’s character going?
1140
00:46:25.090 –> 00:46:27.730
Or where would you like to see it in the future go?
1141
00:46:28.290 –> 00:46:29.750
Based on what we know from season one.
1142
00:46:29.790 –> 00:46:32.230
This is your chance to pitch a story to Jared.
1143
00:46:32.570 –> 00:46:33.510
He’ll listen to this.
1144
00:46:33.650 –> 00:46:34.010
To pitch a story?
1145
00:46:34.370 –> 00:46:35.770
Put yourself in the script writer.
1146
00:46:36.290 –> 00:46:39.490
Oh, man, I am not going to say anything.
1147
00:46:41.030 –> 00:46:42.210
You got to watch it.
1148
00:46:42.510 –> 00:46:46.590
Is it a is it a it’s a fine tooth cog machine?
1149
00:46:46.610 –> 00:46:48.910
You know, I’m just yeah, I’m not.
1150
00:46:49.210 –> 00:46:51.310
Nope, no, no, you don’t want to know.
1151
00:46:51.770 –> 00:46:55.930
There’s a he’s got a formula and, you know,
1152
00:46:55.930 –> 00:46:59.590
it obviously works extremely well.
1153
00:46:59.590 –> 00:47:02.610
Sure. And I have nothing to say.
1154
00:47:02.690 –> 00:47:04.090
Yeah, that’s fair enough.
1155
00:47:04.090 –> 00:47:06.390
So then let me let me go back then.
1156
00:47:07.270 –> 00:47:10.490
So when you first know, I’m not I’m not prying into season two.
1157
00:47:10.570 –> 00:47:11.350
Don’t worry. I know.
1158
00:47:11.750 –> 00:47:13.030
I know. I get it.
1159
00:47:13.390 –> 00:47:16.610
When you first heard and you said that you and Jared
1160
00:47:16.610 –> 00:47:17.690
was talking about Shorzy for a while,
1161
00:47:17.690 –> 00:47:20.890
when you first heard the concept of a Shorzy spinoff show
1162
00:47:20.890 –> 00:47:23.110
based on knowing what Shorzy was in Letter Kenny.
1163
00:47:23.210 –> 00:47:23.650
Oh, yeah.
1164
00:47:24.570 –> 00:47:26.010
Like, what was your take on that?
1165
00:47:26.030 –> 00:47:28.090
Because we’ve always like, oh, how is this going to work?
1166
00:47:28.130 –> 00:47:31.370
He was so one dimensional in Letter Kenny.
1167
00:47:31.690 –> 00:47:33.230
And I love what it’s become.
1168
00:47:33.230 –> 00:47:35.330
But like, did you what was some of the thought?
1169
00:47:35.470 –> 00:47:37.890
I mean, even amongst crew and whatever, like,
1170
00:47:37.990 –> 00:47:41.310
were you guys like, what, how or do you just have trust in the process?
1171
00:47:41.770 –> 00:47:42.490
You know what?
1172
00:47:43.890 –> 00:47:46.870
I told Jared on like season three of Letter Kenny,
1173
00:47:47.070 –> 00:47:50.790
I was like, man, it’s, you know, it’s so cool to be a part of
1174
00:47:50.790 –> 00:47:54.150
because, you know, to have like the creator, the show runner,
1175
00:47:54.250 –> 00:47:56.130
he goes out of his way to say hi.
1176
00:47:56.190 –> 00:47:57.530
Good morning. How was your weekend?
1177
00:47:57.590 –> 00:47:58.530
Shakes everybody’s hand.
1178
00:47:58.710 –> 00:48:02.770
And it’s just anything that he puts his passion into.
1179
00:48:02.770 –> 00:48:03.970
I think we’ll do well.
1180
00:48:04.050 –> 00:48:06.230
And I’ve told him that since the very beginning.
1181
00:48:07.190 –> 00:48:10.190
And, you know, he like I said, when we were talking about Shorzy,
1182
00:48:10.190 –> 00:48:11.010
it was just an idea.
1183
00:48:11.230 –> 00:48:13.670
He said, we’re going to make the best hockey show ever made.
1184
00:48:14.250 –> 00:48:16.690
And I just, you know, trust, trust the process so far.
1185
00:48:16.690 –> 00:48:17.610
So good. Yeah.
1186
00:48:17.950 –> 00:48:21.050
And then fucking answer with no insider knowledge at all.
1187
00:48:21.270 –> 00:48:24.170
When they announce future seasons of Shorzy,
1188
00:48:24.310 –> 00:48:28.530
it’s going to be the world’s worst surprise because we’re all expecting it.
1189
00:48:28.590 –> 00:48:29.530
We’re all waiting for it.
1190
00:48:29.730 –> 00:48:30.870
It’s going to happen. We know.
1191
00:48:30.870 –> 00:48:33.770
But it will be still a very, very pleasant surprise.
1192
00:48:34.230 –> 00:48:38.190
I said we have no insider knowledge, but it would be pretty, you know,
1193
00:48:38.330 –> 00:48:42.230
pretty dumb of Bell not to sign you guys for the next 10 years.
1194
00:48:42.530 –> 00:48:43.470
I would totally agree.
1195
00:48:43.970 –> 00:48:45.910
So we’re just waiting. We’re just waiting.
1196
00:48:46.070 –> 00:48:48.970
I mean, and we’re going to enjoy season 11 of Letter Kenny
1197
00:48:48.970 –> 00:48:50.550
coming out next week.
1198
00:48:50.950 –> 00:48:55.630
And, you know, and then hopefully by then we’ll hear of next season of Shorzy.
1199
00:48:56.090 –> 00:48:59.430
Yeah. I would be surprised if you hear something soon.
1200
00:48:59.570 –> 00:49:00.250
I don’t know, though.
1201
00:49:00.250 –> 00:49:01.270
No. Nice.
1202
00:49:01.810 –> 00:49:03.110
Al, did you want to share your theory?
1203
00:49:03.190 –> 00:49:04.850
Because Al’s had some pretty big theories of.
1204
00:49:05.170 –> 00:49:09.690
Well, I don’t want to put him in in the position of saying, well, that’s
1205
00:49:09.690 –> 00:49:12.370
I mean, of him lying, because I know I’m right.
1206
00:49:12.910 –> 00:49:13.850
I know I’m right.
1207
00:49:14.270 –> 00:49:15.410
Let’s hear it. Let’s hear it.
1208
00:49:15.450 –> 00:49:17.810
You know, I’m interested in listening.
1209
00:49:18.190 –> 00:49:22.190
Well, and I think it’s like episode two of Shorzy.
1210
00:49:22.670 –> 00:49:25.170
There’s like the line Quebec never forgets.
1211
00:49:25.810 –> 00:49:28.830
And if you ask me personally, I don’t think J.J.
1212
00:49:28.830 –> 00:49:33.470
Frankie J.J. has gotten his comeuppance yet from the Bobby Clark slash
1213
00:49:33.470 –> 00:49:34.230
in Letter Kenny.
1214
00:49:34.650 –> 00:49:39.070
So I think this whole thing of you being a no show in that last game,
1215
00:49:39.350 –> 00:49:40.790
that was all part of the plan.
1216
00:49:40.950 –> 00:49:42.150
And it isn’t your plan.
1217
00:49:42.970 –> 00:49:44.470
It’s it’s LeBouffe’s plan.
1218
00:49:44.650 –> 00:49:46.930
She’s the one orchestrating this whole thing.
1219
00:49:47.050 –> 00:49:52.210
And it’s all about Nadeau, LeBouffe and you getting back at Shorzy.
1220
00:49:52.390 –> 00:49:54.570
And that’s that’s what I think is happening here.
1221
00:49:54.730 –> 00:49:57.050
I think it’s Quebec getting back at Shorzy.
1222
00:49:57.470 –> 00:49:58.750
It’s not a bad theory.
1223
00:49:59.710 –> 00:50:00.770
It’s not a bad theory.
1224
00:50:01.230 –> 00:50:02.730
He’s he’s really banking on it.
1225
00:50:02.990 –> 00:50:05.990
He’s he’s banking on a license plate right at this point.
1226
00:50:06.090 –> 00:50:07.570
I have no I have no answers.
1227
00:50:07.730 –> 00:50:08.510
No, I know you don’t.
1228
00:50:09.890 –> 00:50:13.230
But Matt wanted me to to embarrass myself by bringing it up.
1229
00:50:13.370 –> 00:50:13.750
So there you go.
1230
00:50:14.450 –> 00:50:16.170
That’s a that’s a good theory, man.
1231
00:50:16.290 –> 00:50:17.250
Thank you. Really good theory.
1232
00:50:17.390 –> 00:50:18.790
Thanks. So we’ll see if it happens.
1233
00:50:18.950 –> 00:50:20.610
Anyway, Max, you’ve been amazing.
1234
00:50:20.750 –> 00:50:21.310
Thank you so much.
1235
00:50:21.370 –> 00:50:24.190
You’ve given us almost an hour of your time or more than an hour
1236
00:50:24.190 –> 00:50:26.190
of your time. We really appreciate it.
1237
00:50:27.050 –> 00:50:29.970
And we can’t wait to see what you guys do next on Shorzy.
1238
