Clip: [00:00:00] You’re in a couple of nutsacks talking about hockey the other day.
Allan: It’s Thirsty Thursday, and that means another episode of the Produce Stand, a podcast paying tribute to the great Canadian show, Letter Kenny.
Now I know what you’re thinking. There may be, there are many other podcasts about Letter Kenny out there, but I bet this is the only one where the hosts wear tiaras and pink boas. I’m Al your host and joining me in the room as always is a lovely Tanya and online we have Matt and Victor. How’s everybody doing tonight?
Clip: Excellent.
Allan: Oh,
Victor: I’m waiting to be introduced as the lovely Victor, but the lovely, I
Tanya: am so getting Alan a pink boa. I have one in the closet
Allan: and some tiaras upstairs from, from our daughter’s room. Absolutely. Uh, you guys buried the lead though, Matt, that was a nice, uh, uh, opening of a beer can near your, uh, near your cheek so you can get it.
You can get it in your, uh, microphone there, in your earphone. So, this
Mat: beer is brought to you by Amsterdam.
Allan: No, [00:01:00] it’s brought to you by Puffers, right?
Mat: There you go, Puffers, eh? So, how are you guys doing? Deep, I thought it makes it easier.
Allan: How are you guys doing this week? Matt, let’s start with you. How was your week?
Mat: It was good, man. Just work, work, work, work, work.
Allan: Yeah. As usual.
Mat: We’re doing this. Um, I don’t know if you’re participating. We do a step challenge thing at work.
Allan: I am. Yes. What’s your team?
Mat: It’s been helpful. We’re, we’re in sixth place for all the company.
Allan: Yeah. You guys have a bunch of overachievers. We’re I think in like 30 35th place or something like
Mat: that.
Seriously, man. You know, we’re coping. We’re under the dome. What else do we have to do? Right.
Allan: Yeah. Can you say the name of your team? Is it, or is a company related?
Mat: No, you’re the experience.
Allan: You’re the experience. Interesting. Is
Victor: that like
Allan: the Jimi Hendrix
Mat: experience?
Allan: Sounds like it.
Mat: Sure, take it as you need.
Alright.
Allan: My team’s name is Smells Like Team Spirit. I had nothing to do with picking
Victor: it. I’ll take the experience, thank you.
Allan: Yeah. [00:02:00] Alright, um, Victor, how’s your, uh,
Victor: You know how I feel about 90s music. Yes. Alright. It, yeah, good, uh, it was a bit of a sprint to the finish because, uh, I’m off next week and we’re kind of making people take mandatory vacations, so tomorrow’s a full, for, full day off for everybody and, uh, Tuesday is a full day off for everybody, so, uh, because people aren’t easing up their vacations and we don’t want them to burn out, so we said, listen, yeah, Everyone’s getting an extra long weekend.
Sounds
Allan: like a good
Victor: long weekend.
Allan: Are you going somewhere next week or are we not recording next week?
Victor: No, no, I’m here. That’s all that’s important. It’s vacation. You know, what am I going to go? I’ll leave this guest. Yeah. Is that? The only place you can go is camping and I’m not a camping kind of guy, so I’ll be home and spend extra quality time with my guitars and, and, and pumpkin and, uh, so I’m good.
Allan: Well, that’s not true. We did lots during our vacation last week. We went to the beach, we [00:03:00] went to Casa Loma, we went to the zoo. There’s a few things.
Victor: Yeah, I guess. I’m not going to go and say, Al, give me your program, and now I’m going to do that. All that. So, you know, uh, it’s fine. I, you know, I think every single one of my guitars has a broken string on it.
So, I need to spend some TLC, uh, with that. So I’m looking forward to that. And like I told you about my special new smart amp, which jams along. So I’m, I’ll, I’ll be doing all that kind of stuff. Is
Mat: it the same string on every guitar? Broken?
Victor: No, no, it’s a different string. And yes, one of them does have a broken G string, but, uh,
Tanya: just hate when that happens.
Yeah.
Victor: And today was, uh, you know, uh, my son’s birthday. So we had the super. Super soft birthday party for him and, uh, It’s perfect!
Allan: Did he watch the episode with you this time again or no?
Victor: Yeah, yeah, he did. We watched it yesterday with, again, with him and Linda and myself and, uh, we had a hoot, so. [00:04:00]
Allan: Did you give him a
Victor: little tiara?
That’s right.
Allan: Well, we’ll get his rating. You should ask him for his rating so we can add it to our little matrix. Oh, I,
Victor: yeah, I’ve got his rating.
Allan: Okay, cool.
Victor: And also a big week for sport. Sports, uh, go, you know, hurry sports, uh, cause hockey’s back.
Allan: Hockey’s back. Baseball’s back. Basketball’s returning. Yeah, it’s exciting times.
Victor: Just, it’s, it’s, it’s so exciting. Uh, it’s just, it’s nice to be able to actually I don’t know, take part in something with other people, uh, that have, uh, um, interests. So it’s like, this podcast is great and now I’ve got, uh, I’ve got hockey, so now I’ve got two
Mat: things. I mean, isn’t like half the NHL sitting in
Victor: Toronto right now?
Allan: Uh, and the other half in Edmonton.
Victor: Yeah. Half in Toronto, half in Edmonton. And, uh, and all of basketball, I think are in Orlando. Yeah. We’re
Allan: all at Disney World. Disney World.
Tanya: Oh, yeah, cause
Victor: Florida’s the only one where they’re actually traveling and, and they got zonked, I [00:05:00] think, uh, the Florida Marlins, I think they have 19 players,
Allan: but yeah.
And the Phillies, yeah, had to postpone games like, uh, baseball is in jeopardy of not being able to finish their season. So that’s, yeah, so it looks like. The bubble approach. Yeah, the bubble approach was, was the right approach.
Mat: Yeah, absolutely. You can’t imagine why they chose Canada for the NHL. Right. Not like we know what we’re doing up here.
fuck
Allan: And the best lab below us. Yeah, really. And the death, the, the dollar’s. Much cheaper up here too. So they can put it on for a lot cheaper.
Victor: I guess. Yeah. I don’t know about that, but all I know is that I’ve got, uh, Oh, and big news. Um, not really, but, uh, so we’re, we’re, we have bell guys coming on, on Saturday and switching my Rogers to bell back to bell.
I keep bouncing back and forth, but they’ve got the best technology now. So I’m looking forward to it. Cause, uh, uh, you know, right now, even now on this, on this, on this, uh, [00:06:00] podcast, I, I’m not. Don’t have the greatest connection. And, uh, so once we get the new modem in place here, it’s going to be awesome.
Awesome.
Mat: Dial up’s a
Victor: bitch,
Allan: eh? Yeah, we’re expecting 100 percent improvement in sound quality. Oh,
Tanya: where’s that sound? You need the modem dial up sound. Oh, I know, right?
Allan: No, I don’t have any. You
Victor: gotta be ready for those things. How can we, uh, you know, get nominated for the awards?
Allan: Yeah. Not yet. Hard no. Hard no.
Okay. So, uh, I got a few updates from last week. So, uh, yeah, we recorded our first episode recap last week and, and, uh, we were kind of joking around the last week. We had like eight listens and we could account for all of them among the three of us. Uh, but no, this week we have way more than that. So we, we can at least say we have some listeners not in our immediate family.
What is
Victor: way more?
Allan: Um,
Victor: 102?
Allan: No, no. Well,
Victor: episode one zero two. What does this mean?
Allan: What are you looking at? Episode
Victor: 2.
Allan: Yeah, uh, Season 1, uh, Episode [00:07:00] 2. Alright, yeah. So I’m just looking This is why
Mat: Al’s running this show. Yeah,
Allan: I’m running this show, Victor. Let me, let me talk. So, uh, here, here we are on the charts.
In Canada, we are ranked 141. And that’s down. Out of what? Uh, out of. We need contacts. Out of thousands. Uh, but that’s in, in Canada, uh, in aftershows. So, uh, probably a few hundred, but guess what? In Australia, we’re ranked number 64. Great. So, there you go. I knew there’s a reason I loved Australia. Uh, and.
Don’t numbers
Victor: feel flawed to me, but I’ll take your word
Allan: for it. Hey, this is, this is science. They
Mat: feel very trumped right now. This
Allan: is science. This is all, uh, according to iTunes charts. In the world. Let’s see. No, no, sorry. Out of all podcasts in Canada, regardless of category, we’re ranked 2, 900, 2, 904.
Tanya: I was just going to comment, isn’t Australia in winter right now?
I was going to say, I was just going to comment on Australia. Aren’t they in a [00:08:00] winter right now? Maybe that’s the reason. Yeah. They’re stuck inside
Allan: listening to our crappy podcasts worldwide. All podcasts are rank is 6, 008 77. So we are making some strides with a bullet. Uh,
Mat: so can we get that update on the weekly?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I’m
Allan: looking at it every I’ll send you. Actually, I can’t send you. Anyway, I’ll share with you guys. The number is
Mat: just just tell me what it is every week.
Allan: Yeah. So it’s exciting. We were seeing a little bit of movement. And on our Twitter account, we have some new followers. Let me I’m going to just welcome a few of them.
So soul freedom is following us on Twitter. And they actually posted this amazing video that they created, you know, that the WWE, like, Video game, uh, like wrestling, which one? I don’t know what the latest one I’m guessing. Uh, you know how you know how like in the sports games, like even in NHL, like Victor, you would know this, you can create your own player and make that player look like.
[00:09:00] So somebody went through the trouble of creating this. WWE wrestlers that look like Wayne from Letter Kenny and all of his opponents from all the episodes and then posted a video. You can check it out. I liked it. I liked it on Twitter of him beating the shit out of all these different characters from the show.
Victor: It sounds scripted, but I’m totally there.
Allan: Of course it’s scripted. It’s WWE. So, well done, Soul Freedom. Thanks for the follow. Uh, Chris also followed. Another follower that you’d like, Victor, his name is Vic and Tired of the Shite. Uh, Z, Z Chan. I don’t know if he’s any relation to the guy we used to work with.
Um, and also, a rival podcast called How Are You Now? The Toughest Podcast in Letterkenny. Uh, is following us. And they’re actually from Seattle. So, uh, I, uh, reached out and I thanked them for the follow. And I said, we actually, uh, Talked about the Kraken in the last episode, and they got a kick out of hearing that.
So that was the
Mat: name we were gunning
Victor: for at first. And then it [00:10:00] turns out there was a take and we found the source.
Allan: Exactly. There you go. And
Victor: are we going to have to have a brawl with them or? No, no.
Allan: I think they’re very nice and they’re friendly and there’s, there’s enough room for all of us, uh, uh, you know, I just
Victor: meant because of the name, but anyway.
Allan: Uh, Chad Henderson, Stacey Turner, Mark Turcotte, um, and Patrick Plywood McNeil. Now, uh, he’s, uh, he’s, uh, of note, he’s noteworthy because he’s actually on the show. He plays one of the skids on the show. Um, the one with the gas mask, uh, tall, the tall one with the long hair. That’s Patrick. Um, And, uh, I reached out to him and we were chatting and, uh, we’re actually, hopefully we’re going to try to get him on, uh, you know, uh, on the podcast somehow either, hopefully he can come on what, when we’re all recording, so we can kind of, uh, ask him a bunch of questions about what it’s like to be on the show.
Uh, if not, if we can’t arrange or organize him on, like at this time, cause it is kind of late at night, maybe I’ll pre [00:11:00] record an interview with him and, and post it here, but he’s, he’s, um, He’s game. He wants to be on, he just told me he wants to talk to the producers to make sure that he, a, he’s allowed and B, what he can, uh, what kind of information he can share, because apparently everyone’s still waiting on pins and needles to know when a, uh, season nine’s coming out and, uh, sounds like he might know, but he can’t share that yet.
So
Mat: when you said, when you said he needs to talk to the producers, for some reason, I thought he was talking about our show and I’m like, you know, so our, for us, right. Get him in touch with our people.
Allan: Well, yeah, Tanya’s our people. And no, he’s game for it. Cause he’s also, he’s also got like a YouTube channel.
He posts like a comedy bits, uh, that he does himself. And he also posts some bits where, or not bits, but, uh, videos where he talks about mental health, which is, uh, you know, a cause near and dear to me. So I’m, I’m more than happy to have him on. And he sounds like he’s, he’s keen to be on. So hopefully we can make that happen, uh, you know, soon.
[00:12:00] Um, Also, uh, there was a great article, uh, by someone named Cintra Wilson, uh, for the New York Review of Books website of all places. And, and she writes a glowing article about letter canny from an American perspective. So if you haven’t seen that, uh, it’s, it’s actually an interesting one. I’ll post a link to that on our, on our, uh, below our podcast.
Uh, last week we, uh, reviewed Season 1, Episode 1, Ain’t No Reason to Get Excited. That episode received a fresh rating from Matt and myself, and a clearance from Victor and Tanya. High praise from Tanya, so far. So, uh
Victor: Thank you. At least you didn’t toss it into the compost.
Allan: Exactly. Anything
Victor: above a compost is a win for Tanya.
Yeah,
Allan: exactly. So this week we’re going to review episode, uh, season one, episode two, super soft birthday. Uh, Matt, did you watch the episode?
Mat: I mean, that was the only thing I had to do this week.
Allan: You had one thing to do and you did it. You didn’t. [00:13:00] So are you missing?
Mat: Are
Allan: you missing out on Grey’s again tonight?
Mat: Uh, yeah, I got, I got razzed about that,
Allan: but
Mat: it’s okay. She filled the void with a queer eye for straight eye. Straight eye.
Allan: Crack open another beer there, Matt.
Mat: Honestly, at the time, it’s seven, 18 minutes, I’m already through another one. Holy God.
Allan: All right. At this rate, it’s, we’re going to have a good finish here.
Uh, Victor, did you Yeah,
Victor: yeah. Victor, did you
Allan: watch the episode?
Victor: I, I did watch it yesterday with, again, with the boy and, and the wife.
Allan: Alright. Of course. And, and Tanya, did you watch the episode?
Tanya: I did. I did. You for, well, sorry. Yes. You. I told you it was time to watch it. I was going to say, just wait until you’re in trouble.
Yeah, no, exactly right. Is that magic voodoo? Unfortunately, I have no, uh, marvelous Mrs. Maisel to, to, uh, you know, bridge the, [00:14:00] the, um, Letterkenny episode.
Allan: We’re all done. So we’re all caught up. Can
Mat: we take a second just because we’re, I mean, letter Kenny, Canadian content, awesome work. Can we just take a moment to shout out to Schitt’s Creek and the what?
14 nominations they got for Emmy. Another great show that just came, that, that just got all this international praise. Um, love the show. Very proud of what they’ve accomplished.
Allan: It’s funny, I think, I think I watched the first episode maybe, and, and at the time, I mean, this is a while ago, I’ve heard so many amazing things.
Like so many people I know who’ve seen it and love it. It’s so, yeah. We’ll probably have to, we’ll probably have to jump on that one. Yeah.
Mat: And, and the reason, the reason I, I, I just suddenly thought that she, she mentioned the marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Mm-Hmm. . And, you know, when they talk about one of the nominations is, is, is best comedy, um.
Whatever for the Emmys and it’s up against Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Oh, wow. So, it’s on that caliber. Wow. And it is an amazing show. Canadian [00:15:00] made. And amazing cast. Like the
Allan: cast is star studded like by Canadian standards. Yeah, Dan and Union
Mat: Levy have just done amazing things with that show. Yeah. And if you have not seen it, I highly recommend it.
Allan: Alright.
Victor: I’m right there with Al, I saw the first episode and I said I’ll come back to it and I never did and uh, now there’s many seasons later, it’s something that uh, it’s always there waiting for us, so.
Allan: Yeah, so we’ll probably jump on it for sure. Alright.
Mat: So, let’s continue into LetterCatty. Alright.
Clip: Well, pitter patter, let’s get at her.
Allan: Let’s get at her. All right. Let’s start with a recap. Uh, uh, cold open. We open with Riley and Jonesy at Modine’s with a rookie teammate talking about a hockey road trip that they’re about to take to the big city and all the women they’re going to hook up with. Let’s listen.
Clip: Big roadie to the big city this weekend schmilt.
Do you know what that means? Um sucking city titty idiot sucking all that big city titty idiot all up that big city slam piece big city slams [00:16:00] Idiot big city billet moms big city billet sisters good dink sucked on boys. Yes Yes
Allan: It’s so wrong i’m sitting beside my wife listening to that shit
Tanya: These
Mat: two just crack me up they’re
Allan: great Uh, Victor, I think you’ll really get, find this interesting.
So the actor who plays Riley, his name is Dylan Playfair. Does that ring a bell?
Victor: Uh, well, Playfair, I feel like Playfair was a character on Survivor.
Allan: Uh, it might’ve been, but that’s not where I was going. Uh, Dylan Playfair is the son of former NHL er and Calgary Flames head coach Uh, Jim, Jerry, play Fair Gym Play.
Fair
Tanya: God.
Allan: Close. Close. You’re just making names up. That the gym. The gym was
Tanya: silent. Should I given you, it sounds like we could have done a video thing. I could have helped you out with that charades on that. Yeah. [00:17:00]
Allan: So Jim, play Fair. And just
Mat: for the record, Victor’s our sports guy.
Allan: Yeah, I know. That’s why I was asking him.
’cause he’s supposed to know this shit.
Victor: Wait, what, what year,
Allan: uh, what year did he play Jim Playfair? So I don’t know what year. I know he played for the Oilers. He was the head coach for, uh, the Calgary Flames for a while, and now he’s, right now the associate coach in Edmonton for the o for the Oilers. Uh, and so, so, uh, uh, yeah, so his son is Riley on, uh, letter Kenny.
Now the, the fun, the fun thing is that you’ll want to check out, and I’ll post a link to this on, on our site as well. There’s a video of Jim Playfair in 2010. Losing his shit, uh, during, uh, an, an AHL game. He’s the coach, uh, ref makes a bad call. He loses his shit. Bus two sticks on, on the bench, but then also rips his jacket off.
Hulk Hogan style. It’s awesome. You have to see
Victor: that. That’s incredible. So it must be on one of my Rockham stock. I’m Don cherry video.
Allan: So [00:18:00] I’ll post a link to that on the site so you can check that out. But, uh, yeah, definitely. So yeah, it looks like the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Every time these guys,
Mat: every time these guys speak it makes me like, I, every time they drop, when they say, Oh, what a beauty bud.
Uh, like I have one of my closest friends. So as you guys know, I’m very well informed in the sports genre, but that’s obviously a lie, but some of my closest friends have always been. Heavy, heavy sports people. One of them being the ultimate jock plays, he actually plays the professional, uh, professional lacrosse.
Um, and he’s one of those guys that drops a beauty bomb every chance he gets. And every time I hear them say it, it just, he pops in my head. It makes me laugh. I’m like fucking jocks. The beauty
Allan: for sure. Yeah.
Mat: What a beauty.
Allan: So, uh, that, that’s, that’s the cold open, we, we head in, we, we head into the theme song and then scene one, the Hicks are hanging out on Wayne’s porch.
Uh, [00:19:00] Derry approaches them with a very earnest request, but not before Katie gives him a hard time about a certain awkward, uh, issue from, uh, from Derry’s past.
Clip: How are you now? Not so bad. And you? Not too bad. Have you shit yourself? You look like you’ve got an awkward boner. Don’t. Don’t what? Dan. Do you know that Darryl used to get boners every morning in grade 9 during O’Canada?
No shit. Yep. Just could not get through O’Canada without getting a boner. Give a young man 30 idle seconds and he’s gonna get a boner. We talked about this.
Allan: If we, if we had Derry’s words of wisdom, that would be one of them. Give a, give a young man, uh, 30 odd seconds or something and, and he’ll get a boner.
I love it. That’s great. And then once the ribbing is done, Derry finally gets to his request.
Clip: I was wondering if this year we could skip the birthday party. Skip your super soft birthday party? Are you fucking [00:20:00] high? Hard no. Daryl’s super soft birthday party. Every year, Daryl’s mom used to throw him these birthday parties when he was a kid.
Softest birthday party on planet Earth. Boy band karaoke, cupcake decoration station, charcuterie. One year, his mom had him a make the world a better place party. One year, they dressed a horse up like a unicorn and he was never really the same after that. It’s not funny. I used to take a lot of teasing in school for those.
Aww. Should I get you a tissue, Sally? No, he’ll have one in his purse. Or maybe it’s clutch. Party’s happening, Darryl. You don’t fuck with tradition.
Allan: Or maybe his clutch. I love that. There’s
Clip: so much
Victor: gold in there. It was never the same. I was wondering, the horse?
Allan: Both. So, uh, interesting. So, they’re gonna throw a super soft birthday party for, uh, for Wayne there.
Yeah. It’s, uh, so that, they said it, I mean, the episode’s called Super Soft Birthday, so now we know why. [00:21:00] Scene 2. Inside Wayne and Katie’s kitchen, the Hicks talk about the fact that Wayne is fighting again, and so now he must regain his title as the toughest guy in Letterkenny.
Clip: So, the agenda. After your dust up over the weekend, safe to assume you’re fighting again?
Correct. 10 4, good buddy. Well, it’s gonna be a busy week, cause there’s a few guys walking around town claiming to be the toughest guys in Letterkenny. I’m the toughest guy in Letterkenny. You were the toughest guy in Letterkenny. It’s been some time. Now it’s safe to assume that that title is as important to you now as it was then.
It’s a duck with a 4, good buddy. And it’s safe to assume that the choppers would be coming up around the farm as that is how you have conducted business in the past. Well, it’s number one for an audience.
Allan: Does a duck with a boner drag his, drag weeds?
Mat: That’s the line of the episode right there. I have that written down in front of me.
Allan: Oh man, that’s great. And I mean, I wonder, I wonder if they made that up just for the show or if that’s, I don’t know, [00:22:00] like maybe a regional, cause you know, there’s the, there’s a Pope shit in the woods. There’s a bunch of those as a frog’s ass watertight. I’ve heard all of those a million times. So that’s the first time I’ve heard a, as a duck’s boner drag weeds.
Mat: I
Victor: mean, I would assume it does. I, I, I’m, I’m, you know, I think that existed. That must’ve existed before the show. Do
Mat: you listen to that line? Didn’t get a hard visual on that. Then, uh, you know, you weren’t listening to the show properly.
Allan: Well, just logistically, I’m trying to picture what, what that would look like.
Of course it was drag weeks. All right. Uh, they go on to lay out all the challengers that Wayne has to beat in a fight to succeed. There’s a sled Ted. He really likes the sledding boys. Uh, rat ass on account of his hairy ass and joint boy because he smokes a lot of joints. Uh, katie only has one request and this is it keep it
Clip: at the end of the laneway no djins on the property So texas size 10 4 over and
Allan: out over and out So [00:23:00] this is our first 10.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Mat: So 10, you know in the last episode you talked about how There’s no there’s no depth to this show There’s no story. There’s nothing to really get you hooked. But I mean, this is basically Rocky three right now. Oh,
Clip: I like where
Allan: this is going.
Mat: Episode two. You know, he’s, he’s falling off his horse.
He’s trying to find himself again. Um, and then, you know, as this one goes on, we’ll get in deeper. Joint Boy is basically Clubber Lang here. Um, and, and, uh, Rocky’s trying to re find his crown. So
Tanya: Lovely analogy.
Victor: I don’t know what you need for death here, but You, you must have stretched real far to get that kitty.
Allan: And that’s what I, that’s what I appreciate about you, Matt. That’s awesome.
So just
Victor: no, no, Tanya, you’re not crazy. But, [00:24:00] uh, the depth has not grown that much. Yeah. No, I
Tanya: found the You don’t think
Victor: outside the box.
Tanya: I found the efficacy of, of the, the fight setups and the route and the, and the, um, very elaborate routine that they had, um, very interesting. But I think it goes, it’s not, I shouldn’t use the word interesting.
I found it amusing, but not Well, that’s a good
Victor: thing. Sorry, in a complete contrast, like, at first, you know, we’ll get to the ratings, uh, later, but, a complete contrast to, to the first episode, and why my rating may end up being different this time, is that, the fighting had, uh, It was, it was true, um, whimsical, amusing, entertaining, uh, and it wasn’t offensive.
Uh, whereas the, in, in episode one it just felt awkward, um, maybe too violent, [00:25:00] unnecessary, um, I don’t know. So, so I
Allan: completely disagree. I thought the first episode, the fighting was completely justified and this episode, it’s fun.
Victor: I don’t, I don’t mean the fighting per se. I mean, what led to the fighting, what, what led to the, to the fighting?
I just felt like it was just having, you know, seeing a guy. Pissed lying in the trash. It’s, it’s not funny. Yeah. I don’t know. No, I know. But that’s the
Allan: thing. Yeah. The guy was a bully. That’s why Wayne beat the shit out of him though. Like the guy was the bad guy. I
Victor: feel like two con, it’s just complete two ends of the spectrum in terms of how the fighting was used in this episode compared to how it was used in the other episode.
Allan: Oh yeah. Well, yeah, that’s, that’s true. The fighting serves a different purpose in this episode, but in that first episode, I think it was completely justified. They gave the, the guy was. Idiot and they had to show him. But then the thing is, had Wayne fought him just because he stole his girlfriend, to me, that’s less justifiable than the fact that he fought him because the guy was picking on somebody lesser than [00:26:00] him.
He was bullying somebody else. So Wayne went to his defense.
Victor: Hey, I get it. I get it. I just felt it went from zero to 60 in, in like, you know, two seconds and it wasn’t, it wasn’t abusing or funny. Whereas this, this was an enjoyable. Episode to watch
Allan: sure
Victor: and the fighting was enjoyable and whimsical and amusing and entertaining.
Allan: I agree agreed. Uh, I I disagree with the objection to the fighting in the first episode, but I agree with with with everything else and uh Matt just opened up another well, what do you have now? What are you drinking now?
Tanya: I love how you laugh.
Allan: What’s that? He
Tanya: just He cracks himself up every time he opens his
Allan: mouth.
What kills me is He’s using ear Are they ear pods or air pods or whatever?
Mat: No, they’re, they’re, I know they’re Mifos. They’re blow, they’re Bluetooth.
Allan: Oh, so, so to get the sound effect, yeah, exactly. To get the sound effect of the beer opening, he’s got to hold it up to his cheek so that the mic picks it up.
I love it. It’s like he’s, he’s, he’s, [00:27:00] uh, he’s making love to it before he drinks it.
Mat: I want to share this moment with everyone.
Tanya: I got my bone shaker. The closest to the bar you’re going to get.
Allan: Yeah, exactly. All right. So before we move on to scene three, just wanted to say in the last. It’s the first time we hear two things.
The term, the term degens. Uh, and, and we’re going to learn that, that, that stands for degenerates. Uh, and it’s kind of the only class of people in Letterkenny that’s below all the other four classes, apparently, like, uh, below the Skids, below the hockey players, the Hicks and the Christians. They’re below the Skids?
Yes, they’re below the Skids.
Mat: Yeah, I’ll say that. That is a term that’s in my regular vocabulary in current state. Just want to call that out.
Allan: All right. Because of Letterkenny or were you using the term before? No.
Mat: Oh, no, it’s just a proud and true term of endearment.
Allan: Oh, of endearment, okay. I
Mat: hope you don’t have to use it too often.
Allan: Oh, I know.
Mat: You’d be
Clip: surprised, man.
Allan: And then the other [00:28:00] line would be this.
Clip: So, Texas size 10
Allan: 4. Texas size 10 4. You’re gonna hear a lot of that. Uh, so yeah, those two things. So scene three, Katie gets picked up by Jonesy and Riley, who won’t come down the laneway because they’re afraid of Wayne. Now, uh, she gives them shit for making her walk down the laneway.
Uh, and, uh, after, uh, After that, Squirrely Dan, uh, uh, tells a story about his cousin’s, uh, ruptured scrotum, which goes in some, uh, interesting direction.
Clip: So he tore his ball sack open trying to do a skateboard trick, and he’s got to show it to his mom because apparently one of his testicles is showing. Is it the right one or the left one?
Why is that of importance? Oh, because the left one has more sperm in it. Spermatozoa is what it’s called. Tell you what, if I ripped open my ball sack trying to do a skateboard trick, I’d be more worried about seeing my vas deferens. Well, you’d have to tear your ball sack pert near wide open doing a skateboard trick if you wanted to see your own vas deferens.
I’m not sure I want to see my own vas deferens. Like, if I saw my own vas deferens, I’d be quite worried. I’d be [00:29:00] most worried if I tore my ball sack open trying to do a skateboard trick if I could see my accessory glands. Well, you don’t want to go too kooky with accessories. On your truck. Or your jeep.
It’s okay with like a quad though, like my buddy Big T’s got a snorkel kit on his and that’s pretty punk rock.
Allan: Uh, they go on and on and on. Uh, I thought I’d just cut it there ’cause it, it was just goes on and
Victor: on. I, I was just visualizing squirrely Dan doing skateboard tricks.
Mat: trying to watch him pull up a kick flip. That’s
Victor: nice. Paid to see that man
Mat: down.
Allan: Oh man. Alright. Uh. Next scene, uh, because I think that one doesn’t need any more discussion. Uh, scene four, uh, back in the kitchen, Wayne gets the call for his first challenger, Sled Ted. Uh, who arrives to fight, uh, it’s a pretty easy win for Wayne.
I don’t have a clip for this cause it’s basically just a fight. So we’d [00:30:00] be listening to, to punches being thrown. Uh, it’s a pretty easy Wayne, uh, win for Wayne. And in the end he helps sled Ted up and shakes his hand and, and walks away. And, uh, that’s what I likes about Wayne. He’s a man of principle. And, uh, just because they’re fighting doesn’t mean they can’t be friends.
Mat: Yeah. I mean, I love, I love that. I mean, it goes on and we can tell it was more of it. The fighting has nothing to do with. Um, grudges or anything. It’s like this sense of pride within their community. It’s like, who’s the toughest guy at letter caddy? And he’s trying to work his way back up the ranks.
Allan: Yeah.
So, so there’s your story there, honey.
Victor: And, and, and this time we paid attention that, you know, before each fight, they have, uh, their shots and they smack the glass there twice. So, yeah, they did that every time. Except for the last fight where he drank right out of the bottle.
Allan: Yes. Well, and so, yeah, and Wayne’s pre fight routine does kind of [00:31:00] evolve throughout, but yeah, it usually involves taking a sip of some drink.
Uh, or a shot, uh, having a smoke and, uh, later on he even starts unbuttoning his, uh, his shirt or his, uh, sleeve collars, but, uh, or not collar his sleeve, his sleeve buttons,
Tanya: his sleeve buttons, I found his, uh, I found his, um, his character did deepen when, when you saw him shake his hand, shake it, when you saw him shake hands with the guy, uh, he, uh, It was, it was more than just an alpha male thing.
It was, it was show. Yeah. It was more than just an alpha male kind of pride moment. It was him showing who he is.
Allan: Yeah. And I mean, I think he models himself. Uh, like Jared Kiesel, the, the actor, kind of models himself after one of his heroes, uh, uh, Victor just got up, I don’t know why, I was just gonna ask him a question.
Victor, are you I’m,
Mat: I’m still here. He allegedly got up.
Allan: Yeah, do you know, uh, uh, Victor, [00:32:00] um, uh, another role that Jared Kiesel has played in, in a movie, actually, you might be interested in? What’s that? He played Don Cherry in the Don Cherry biopic.
Victor: Oh, I actually saw that. That was a two parter. That
Allan: was Jared Kiso.
So Wayne, from Letter Kenny, plays Don Cherry in the CBC movie.
Victor: Hmm. Yeah, I never connected that. Yeah. So there you go. Because I actually saw that. And like I said, it’s I think a two part movie. If we’re talking about the right one. But, uh, yeah, that was really good.
Allan: Yeah, I don’t know. I haven’t seen the movie, but I saw a clip of it today.
Maybe for our American and or Australian listeners, can you explain who Don Cherry might be, uh, Victor?
Victor: Well, Don Cherry was, uh, a hockey player, never really made it as a hockey player, but, uh, uh, he did play in NHL, I think, a few games, but he, he actually made it as a coach, and, uh, was a very successful coach, and took his Boston Bruins all the way to the [00:33:00] finals, uh, only to lose, uh, because he got a, his team got a penalty, uh, for having too many men on the ice, which they generally don’t do.
Uh, it’s the coach’s fault, typically they say that, but it’s really the player’s fault. Uh, and yeah, and they, they ended up scoring the goal and ended up winning the, uh, Stanley Cup and that’s what he’s kind of known, that’s what he’s known for in his kind of hockey career. And then after that, many years later, he became a commentator on CBC and, and, uh, started the show called Coach’s Corner, which ran for many, many, many years with, uh, with, uh, uh, McClay, Ron McManus has, uh.
Puppeteer, or the other way around, I don’t know which way you’d like to call it. And then, uh, until just this last year where the show ended because Don Cherry just took things too far and, uh, insulted, uh, uh, our, uh, immigrants in this country. And, uh, and, uh, yeah, he was cancelled, so, um. So there you go, I took us around the world.
Allan: Yeah, that’s, uh, more in depth than I was expecting. [00:34:00] That
Tanya: was a Coles notes kind of thing. Yeah, but
Allan: basically, and yeah, that was very in depth, but in a nutshell, Don Cherry for a while there was probably the most famous man in Canada, uh, and, and had, had he run maybe for, for a public office at one point, Don’t give him that.
Well, at the time, like maybe 20 years ago, anyway, but he’s, he’s definitely one of the more known people in this country, uh, who had a pulpit and, and a very, like, uh, a very, uh, Uh, what, what far reaching kind of podium where he could spew a lot of his, his, uh, his, his, um, uh,
Victor: He was a polarizing, he was a very polarizing figure because he, if people, you know, in hockey, people love them, uh, but they kind of half the people love them because they actually respected him.
The other half loved him because he was a character. Um, and, but, but outside of hockey, um, he was very controversial, very polarizing just because he was very super hardcore right now. When, uh, and, and his views, uh, he didn’t, [00:35:00] you know, when he kept things to hockey, it was fine. And whenever he crossed the line and started talking about politics and race and, uh, all that kind of stuff, he would always go too far and insult somebody or some, some, uh, Um, uh, uh, you know, group or, or, or, or whatnot.
And, uh, you know, now it’s not okay anymore. It used to be okay for some reason for all these years and all of us now it’s not okay. And, and, and, and, you know, so that’s it for Don Cherry. Now he does podcasts. So there you go. Yeah.
Allan: Apparently he, Oh, geez, I’ve been having Mike trouble. It keeps on cutting out.
Now it’s probably a little too loud. Hold on.
Victor: Mike, stop it.
Allan: There we go. All right, so we’ll move on from the Don Cherry talk, but I thought you might be interested to know if you ever, if you ever wanna see Jared Kiso play someone, someone other than Wayne, he’s Don Cherry on in that movie. Uh, moving on to the next scene, the er in the tractor shed talking about Wayne’s first fight with sled Ted.
Uh, and then during the conversation about men’s fragrances , they, they also go on to preview Wayne’s next opponent, [00:36:00] uh, rat ass. And here’s what that sounds like.
Clip: Dad had bigfoot hands. Yeah, he’s a big grimy brute. Shit fighter, though. You guys remember the fragrance, Brute? Or Active Brute? Yeah. Yeah, they still make that.
I always enjoyed that fragrance. You could use it to dry up zits, too. D’you know what? You can use shaving cream to get permanent marker off your hands. Why don’t you just dip your hands in the parts cleaner? Well, most people don’t have a parts cleaner. Well, most likely, Rat Ass will be your next dude. I hear he is a greaser.
Can confirm. So fucking greasy, I almost don’t want to. I saw him with his shirt off swimming at the gravel pit not that long ago. His back acne was extraordinary. Like, extraordinary how? Well, like I thought about it for a while after is all. Well, labyrinthes, I’m likely going to have to touch it. Well, like how it was cultivated.
Well, by not showering, likely. Likely. Did you know that men can wear the fragrance CK1 as well as women? Yeah. Yeah, that’s because it’s an unisex fragrance. That says that right on the bottle. But would you? Negative. Would you [00:37:00] wear Gab Dream? No! No, Derry, that’s for girls! Derry, that’s for girls. You can’t walk around smelling like purdy girls!
You’re not wearing it right now, are you? Close to expensive, if I just use sunscreen. Banana Boat.
Allan: Banana Boat. Yeah, that’s what I, that’s my sunscreen. My cologne of choice, Banana Boat.
Victor: I love that whole scene. That was such a great binge. It was great. It’s a great
Allan: scene when, when squirrely Dan says unisex.
I cracked up when the first time I heard
Victor: that. I mean, no, one of the reasons I love this episode is cause squirrely Dan had so many, he’s quickly become my number one in this show. After two episodes, he’s my favorite character. And, and I, the more lines you give him, The better the show gets, because he had a lot of lines in this episode and I loved every single one of them.
Allan: Yeah, he’s definitely one of my favorites as well. And again, he’s the one guy from Toronto, the hickest of the hicks. That’s right. [00:38:00] And he’s actually a city boy.
Victor: And by the way, lots of educational material in this episode, whether you’re into phys ed and your, you know, scrotums and how they work and whatnot, or whether you’re into which colognes to use for what or how to clean grease off your hands.
Lots of good education.
Allan: Did William learn more about the male anatomy from this episode than he probably bargained for?
Mat: Not to mention the life hacks that Wayne introduces to you about shaving cream and getting the permanent marker off your hands. Oh yeah, there you go.
Allan: Not everyone has parts cleaner, so.
Next scene, inside Wayne, inside the Wayne farmhouse, Katie informs Wayne that the neighbour has refused to lend him their horse for Derry’s super soft party this year.
Clip: Hey, the neighbour said he’s not going to give us a horse this year. What? Well, he said that last year we returned him and his breath smelled like alcohol.
Well, it was probably mine. He could have lit my breath on fire the next day. Horse was half cut, though. Said that he’s gonna give [00:39:00] us a donkey? Nope. Might be funny. Gotta be a horse. You don’t fuck with tradition. You’re really gonna pump the brakes on a donkey dressed up like a unicorn? Oh, I’m stomping the brakes.
You put that idea right through the fucking windshield. But it’s a donkey dressed up like a unicorn. Katie! Well, it’s better than a kick in the pants. Do you want this to be the softest birthday party ever or not? I want this just as much as you do. Well, then find us a horse, please. And thank you.
Allan: Make sure you say please.
And thank you. So that brings us to Wayne’s first words of wisdom. And I know that Katie said this first early in the episode, but it’s the only words of wisdom I could find in this episode. And that is.
Clip: You don’t fuck with tradition.
Allan: You don’t fuck with tradition. That’ll, uh, you can tell that Wayne and Katie’s upbringing is, was probably pretty strict.
We’ll, we’ll, we’ll see more evidence of that later. Uh, both of them kind of reacted in vastly different ways. Wayne became kind of straight laced and very, uh, well. And then there’s Katie and she’s, she’s gone the opposite way. But, uh, it, I [00:40:00] think it, it tells a lot about their character and, and oddly enough, their upbringing without even mentioning, you know, any parents involved or anything.
Victor: I love, I love the fact that, uh, a donkey somehow makes it less soft.
Mat: Well, it’s all about tradition, right? The horse, don’t fuck with that shit.
Allan: You don’t fuck with tradition. And, and, uh, and a unicorn is not a donkey. It’s a horse with a horn. I mean,
Mat: it’s true, Al, a unicorn is not a donkey.
Victor: But a unicorn is not a horse. It’s like saying a zebra is a horse. These are, you know, But it’s closer.
Yeah. I don’t know. I mean, we could get some deep conversations about this.
Allan: All right, next scene. Hicks are back in the kitchen. Wayne, and Wayne’s next opponent calls.
Clip: Hello. Okay. End of [00:41:00] the laneway. Don’t come up the property. Good.
Rat ass is here.
Allan: Rat ass. So, uh, that’s just showing the the pageantry behind these fights like Tanya was saying. The whole leading up to each one. Yeah. The, um, the formality of it. So before they fight, uh, Rattass has a bunch of rules and starts acting a little crazy.
Clip: Keep this standing. This goes to the ground, we stand up.
Okay. This goes to a clinch. We separate. Great. Let’s go. Alright. So hit me. Vladimir, shut the fuck up. I’ll give you a free one. What the fuck is this? Let’s fucking do this. Just fucking square off.
Allan: So, uh, during the fight, rat ass pulls Wayne’s hair and the fight needs to be broken up and then when it resumes, rat ass removes his shirt confirming all of Wayne’s concerns about the fight.[00:42:00]
Wayne finishes him off with minimal contact. You
Mat: know, it’s you know, it’s funny when that scene happened. It immediately took me to and I’m not gonna kid you. Along came Pauly. And if you remember that movie, oh, when he’s
Allan: playing basketball with the hairy guy. When
Mat: he’s playing ba when he’s playing basketball with the hairy guy.
And he’s got, he has the guard and his face. I picture Ben Seller’s face rubbing up against that hairy chest. And that’s all I could picture in that scene. It ruined for me.
Tanya: I remember deep, ugly
Allan: face, uh, at that point. Yeah. It Whenever your mic cog set, just tap this one here to, to bring it back. I need a new, A new soundboard
Tap, tap, tap. No, the other one. The other one. Yeah. That one. Tap, tap, tap. There you go. There we go.
Mat: Can you wait for the main mic next time? Cause clearly he’s just, uh,
Allan: no, my, my mic’s no better.
Victor: Podcast from worst. com everybody.
Allan: What
Tanya: not to do on a podcast. Stop campaigning,
Allan: Victor. All right. Scene number eight, the [00:43:00] hockey players are helping Katie set up for the super soft birthday party.
They admit to Katie that they fell short on their shopping expedition.
Clip: We couldn’t find a lot of the stuff on the list. Like what? Uh, well, uh, there’s ingredients that I don’t think you can get in Letterkenny. So go to the city. Yeah, but we got practice in a couple hours. Crushed a couple sandos before, too.
Grab some appies, maybe? I haven’t had a pre game naps either. Appies and nappies, Ferda. Ferda. Ferda. Well, we need everything on the list. So what drinks do you need ingredients for? Uh, Corabella love potion. Uh, okay. Purple passion punch, lemon gingerini, apricot Toblerone cocktail. Couldn’t find a Flirtini.
Couldn’t find sparkling mango sorbet float. Don’t, don’t know really what that is. Well, that’s all of them. Yeah. [00:44:00] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look, I have about a million things to do if this is going to be the softest birthday party ever. If you guys don’t get me everything on the list, you’ll be pulling each other’s horns from now on.
So Pitter
Mat: patter! So right So far!
Allan: So far! That sounds like the one when we ask them to do something.
Mat: So maybe I missed this in early. Is she fucking both of them? I’m, I’m really just going to
Victor: ask the same thing with you when she said that I’m thinking, wait, what’s happening? She had
Tanya: two references in this episode.
She, she said getting into the Jeep that, um, they’re going to have babies or something. She referenced something about a baby,
Victor: right? I’m going to make babies. Yeah. She could be talking to one of them, right? One of them. Yeah. But now she’s
Tanya: like, yeah, the whole handjob. This time
Victor: it’s everybody.
Allan: Yeah. So, so during the, the baby thing, that’s actually her saying she’ll get, she’ll get really angry if, uh, if they make her do that again, she’ll have babies.
That’s, that’s a way [00:45:00] of saying, I’ll get really angry. Uh, like having a cow or having babies, same, same kind of thing. But yes, it is, it is, I took that differently. It is intimate, intimated that Katie is a little on the promiscuous side and not just with, with, uh, Jonesy and Riley, but. Even some of the comments she makes in the kitchen when they’re talking about, uh, Wayne’s uh, um, opponents, she asks, uh, uh, is, yeah, they’re talking about I think, uh, joint rat ass.
Right? Ass or joint, yeah. Well, first rat ass.
Tanya: And she said she Yeah, she could confirm
Allan: that’s right.
Tanya: Oh yeah, that’s right. And, and they look at her
Allan: crossey, but then when, what is
Tanya: greasiness? Yeah.
Allan: And then when they talk about joint boys, she goes, is he single? And then they look at her again and she’s like, not that that matters.
So she doesn’t care if they’re single. She doesn’t care if there’s more than one of them. So when I say that they had a tough upbringing and they both kind of went their own ways in dealing with it, I think that’s an illustration of that.
Victor: And there’s two references between her and squirrely Dan now already, which I’m still not sure where that’s going.
Allan: That’s what I appreciate. So I think that’s just [00:46:00] squirrelly Dan, you know, uh, kind of not hitting on her, but, but complimenting her. He
Tanya: made eyes at her. Yeah, but Wayne, but Wayne was like easy there, right?
Allan: Well, he’s being the big brother. He’s, he’s being protective. Uh, especially if one of his buddies want to get with his sister, it’s bad enough that every other guy in the, in the town seems to have either gotten with her or want to get with her.
Right.
Victor: It’s just interesting, because now it happened twice, so I’m wondering if that’s like, going somewhere, that’s all.
Allan: Yeah, we’ll see. Um Uh, miss the scene before the, this, when, when the skids were dancing outside the, uh, the, the variety store, there’s a scene where Katie gets out of her, uh, pulls up and gets out of her truck.
And there’s a moment between Stuart, the, the skid leader, uh, and Katie where, where they look, they, he nods at her and she kind of gives it, gives him the eyes, uh, I mentioned that because, uh, after this exchange or the hockey players, she gets a text from, um, from, uh, uh, Stuart and, uh, He’s, he’s asking her to, to email him back.
And at [00:47:00] this point she doesn’t return his texts. But, uh, but, uh, we’ll see what happens later. Uh, next scene. The Hicks are at the barn reviewing the rat ass fight.
Clip: Fuck, was he a beaker? Like he would not stop beacon. That shit is the worst. That was right. Stick the task at hand, pal. Keep trap shut, throw bombs.
I wouldn’t say shit if my mouth was full of it. I haven’t seen that many hits since. Good. Charlotte played Warp tour. Yeah, more like. Not very good, Charlotte. I think he’s like NoFX. Yes, FX!
Allan: So, yeah, uh, The rat ass fight. And they’re talking about how greasy he was. And also beaking. So beaking is another term that, um, means that he’s, he’s trash talking.
He’s, he’s saying a lot of words and not backing it up. Oh, and before that, the hockey players. There’s a term that they use, FURTA. Now, Matt, do you know, is, is FURDA just a letter canny thing, or is it an actual thing that, that, uh, hockey players say? Do you know? Maybe we need to get a hockey player to chime in because none of us here qualify.
Mat: I am though. [00:48:00] Yeah, I blanked on that one for sure.
Allan: So, FURTA, because I’ve seen t shirts, it’s like a big letter penny thing. So, FURTA is short for Yeah,
Mat: I just looked it up. FURTA is a hockey player slang referring to doing something for the boys or for the team.
Allan: FURTA boys, FURTA team, FURTA. So whenever you hear them say Ferda, and they say it a few times in this episode, that’s what they mean.
It’s like a little chant that the the players use. Ferdaboys. So they’re talking about having sandos and naps. Ferda. Ferda. So yeah.
Mat: Of course when I googled it immediately, I see pictures of Jonesy and Riley. So,
Allan: so yeah, that’s why I’m that’s why I’m not sure whether it’s a legitimate thing or whether they just made it up for the show.
Either way, it’s, it, you’ll hear it a lot. And again, they’re now using it on merchandise. So, uh, next scene, uh, they, oh, now that after they talk about rat ass, they start previewing joint boy.
Clip: So tell me about this guy, joint boy. Well, I’m not going to sugarcoats it for you, Wayne. This guy looks like an [00:49:00] Australian rugby player chiseled out of stones.
Uh oh. Got legs on them, like tree trunks. Is that a deciduous tree or a coniferous tree? What? Well, there’s a difference. We’re talking about like a maple tree, which is thick and deciduous, or a Christmas tree, which is thin and coniferous. Yeah, but both is hards and maids of woods, right? No excuses, that’s all I’m saying.
What type of tree is a coconut tree? It’s a palm tree. How do you know? Well, like the internet. Oh. Anyway, that’s the joint boy. How come I’d never heard of him before? Oh, he just got out of jail. He was arrested for assault after he beats the shits out of a guy for pushing up on his sister. Got this big entourage of guys, bald headed, bearded dudes, what looks like a whole bunch of surly uncles.
Allan: Yeah, yeah, I love squirrely Dan. He’s awesome.
Mat: I didn’t know what the fuck deciduous meant when I watched this, so as I was watching this scene I was looking it up, and I’m like, alright, the leaves fall off. I got it.
Allan: Yeah, I mean, like, like Victor was saying, it’s very [00:50:00] educational. If this thing wasn’t so damn, damn dirty, I’d actually let my 13 year old son watch it, because he’d learn something, but, uh
Mat: About bombs?
About National Geographic. I’m learning more from this show.
Allan: Yeah, Squirrely Dan’s awesome. I actually know, uh, I’ve got a buddy who, who kind of does what Squirrely Dan does, adding unnecessary S’s at the end of words, and, uh, it’s kind of funny. So I can attest that that’s something he he takes it to an extreme But uh, it’s it’s something that I have does he
Mat: do it naturally or is it on purpose?
Allan: No, it’s it’s it’s it’s the character like if you hear, uh, um, uh, what’s his name, uh, kevin, whatever his real name is I forget now, uh his stand up it’s Yeah, he’s not he’s not his character. So, uh It’s pretty good. So, uh, Wayne seems a little concerned about, uh, hearing about, uh, Joint Boy’s entourage and he wonders whether they’ll need backup.
And that’s when we learn about the Ginger.
Clip: Think we should call the Ginger? Um, no. Why not? He’s tougher than [00:51:00] hell. Yeah, but Like you heard, he fucked an ostrich, right? He what? He fucked an ostrich. Allegedly. How does a fella get caught up in that sort of business? Well, I guess his cousin had an ostrich farm when he thought it might be fun to fuck one.
Allegedly. Allegedly. So he got hired, somehow, when he fucked an ostrich. That’s fucked. That’s a felony. So we use them in emergencies only then. I should say.
Allan: And, uh, that’s a tribute to, uh, uh, Victor’s background. He’s got an ostrich as his background and the word allegedly.
Mat: I like that you ducked out of your frame just so we could, we could all see it.
Allan: Uh, I love it. The ginger and the, he, he gets brought up often too, and we actually get to meet him later on. So that’s, uh, that’s cool. But yes,
Victor: I’m looking forward to that.
Allan: Uh, red, allegedly fucked an ostrich. Yeah. What do you think about [00:52:00] that?
Victor: I think it’s brilliant. I think it’s brilliant and I think what’s even better is that they’re somehow offended by that.
Allan: I don’t know if they’re offended, I think they’re just bothered. Because they were still talking about bringing him in because they needed the backup. But Wayne was a little just, uh, I don’t think so.
Tanya: How does that work anyways? If, if Wayne needed him as backup, then Wayne is no longer Elfie how does it work fucking the ostrich.
No, no, no. I’m over the ostrich. We,
Victor: we,
Allan: we learn more about that
Victor: later too. He doesn’t want a man that fucked an ostrich backing him up.
Tanya: Like, wouldn’t you worry about getting hoofed by, uh, the, those legs of the ostrich? That’s what I, that’s what I’d be thinking.
Allan: It’s
Mat: pretty
Allan: fast. Yeah. It’s
Tanya: pretty fast, right?
You have to be a pretty.
Allan: But they said red’s a tough guy, so I guess he can take it Yeah All right. Next scene the super soft birthday [00:53:00] party is underway. There are folks from all over town There’s a horse cupcakes pink boas cotton candy a bouncy castle Uh a horse with a unicorn horn on it and dairy is wearing a tiara A joint boy and his entourage are a pull up for their fight
Clip: Which one of yous is wayne? Got some business You’re interrupting a party for my best pal that my little sister worked pretty hard to put on. Hold it! May I sort this out now, please? Goddamn right you may. Thank you. Don’t lose.
Allan: May I sort this out, please? So he asks his sister permission to have his fight with Joint Boy. Uh, but Joint Boy doesn’t want to fight. Because it turns out Alexander, [00:54:00] the guy who’s like, who likes pissing with his pants down around his ankles, is Joint Boy’s second cousin. And Joint Boy appreciates Wayne sticking up for him the other night.
So this is a callback to the previous episode.
Clip: You had yourself a scrap the other weekend of Modine’s. What’s it to you? Left the dude pretty banged up. I heard he kicked a slow learning fella in the bum while he was having a piss. Now that slow learning fella is my second cousin. Okay. Being the toughest guy, letter Kenny’s important to me.
I’m sure it is to you too, but we’re all hicks here. You done me a favor, so I’d be willing to shake your head and call it a day.
Allan: I just love this big, burly guy. And, and he’s about to fight Wayne, and he says bum instead of ass, like, it just seemed, it seemed weird, like, the, he kicked a slow learning guy in the bum, like, I don’t know, it just seemed kind of weird, uh, turn of phrase.
Do you
Mat: think he was, do you think he was afraid?
Allan: Uh, [00:55:00] of fighting Wayne?
Mat: Like, he’s seeking like a handshake in this scene, right? He’s like, let’s just Because of what you did, let’s just call it even and let’s move on.
Allan: No, I think this is a sign of honor among, uh, fighters. I think, uh, I don’t think he was afraid of Wayne at all.
Uh, I think, uh, he, he wanted to do Wayne a solid. But, uh, Wayne had I didn’t,
Victor: I didn’t see that. Oh,
Allan: what did you think, Victor?
Victor: I didn’t see it that way because I felt that let’s, you know, let’s shake hands and I’m going to retain my toughest, uh, guy belt. And, uh, and Wayne didn’t want any of it. He said no. So I kind of
Mat: Who gets the belt at that point, right?
Yeah,
Allan: fair enough. I guess. I didn’t, I didn’t see him as being afraid of Wayne though, but uh I hear what you’re saying. If they didn’t fight, then he keeps the title and obviously Wayne’s gonna have nothing of it. This is when Wayne has his, uh, his dirty hairy moment. Here’s what he says.
Clip: I didn’t do you no favors.
Cause I don’t know who the fuck you are.[00:56:00]
We done talking?
Allan: And then the fight goes. So that, that’s, that’s a pretty kind of dirty, hairy kind of moments. Like I didn’t do any favors. I the fuck you are. Let’s fight. Uh, but yeah, I don’t know. I didn’t see it that way, but yeah, I guess you could see it that way. If you think that, uh, he was afraid to fight Wayne.
Mat: I mean, the whole idea of the in depth storyline for Tanya’s benefit was to regain the title. And if we ended there, what would be the point of the episode?
Allan: Fair enough. Alright. So, I mean, I accept that premise. Uh, maybe one day we’ll have, uh, one of the writers on our podcast and we can ask them what they, what they meant by it.
Tanya: Again, I liked the nod to a sister. Again, the adequacy and the, and the, the pomp and circumstance or whatever you want to say. It was just, I, I liked that. That was.
Allan: Say nothing about Wayne. He lives by a code. He sticks to it, thick or thin, fail or not. He, he does stick to his code. Um, yeah, for sure. Uh,
Victor: I was [00:57:00] disappointed that he took the little hat off for the fight.
It would have been better if he kept the hat on, but anyway,
Allan: this is Wayne’s toughest fight yet, but in the end he wins and he approaches joint boy with an invitation.
Clip: You want to come to a super soft birthday party?
Mat: They had nothing to do about the fighting and, you know, there was no adversary. There was just like, let’s, let’s sort this out. Let’s figure who’s the toughest and let’s move on with our lives. We all live in harmony,
Victor: right?
Mat: It was
Victor: like a hockey fight, right? Cause the hockey fight, uh, as soon as it’s done, typically, I mean, there’s situations, right?
But typically a typical hockey fight is there’s a shake at the end and they go have dinner after the game. Like it’s not. So I feel, it felt like this was kind of a, uh, you know, um, a lens into that as well.
Tanya: Yeah.
Victor: It’s like, hey, this, this, the fight is the fight and now it’s over. So let’s, you know, let’s have a party.
Let’s, uh, let’s have [00:58:00] cake.
Allan: It’s a classic. It’s not personal. It’s business. And, uh, that was the business. They need to find out who the toughest one was. I mean, joint boys lying, bleeding on the ground. Wayne walks up to him out of breath. Shirt’s actually torn a bit. Yeah. And he offers, he invites him to his friend’s super soft birthday party.
Uh, last scene, the party continues as if nothing happened. Um, Derry and Squirrely Dan sit sipping fruity cocktails as they watch Wayne, who’s now wearing a tiara and Katie decorating cupcakes.
Clip: Happy birthday, Derry. That’s really more for them, ain’t it? What is? All this. Oh, it’s not, it’s cream cheese. No. Oh.
That’s cream cheese. No. Yeah, that’s cream cheese. Let’s go. Jesus! You remember they weren’t allowed to have birthday parties growing up. They had to go bucky at mine. Well, they do go alls out, don’t they? It’s a [00:59:00] Texas size 10 4. You know, if Joint Boy and his pals hadn’t showed up, I figure this would have been the softest birthday ever.
That’s a small victory for you, I suppose.
Allan: So, there you go. We get another glimpse into kind of the, uh, Wayne and Katie’s past. So, they weren’t allowed to have their own birthday parties. So, this is why they went all out with, uh, dairies.
Victor: Oh, there you go. And, uh, we never mentioned the, uh, cone. What do you call it?
The cone bra or the Madonna bra that Riley or Jonesy was wearing? Yeah, they
Allan: were during during that party scene. Yeah, they’re decorating cupcakes. The the horse with the unicorn is in between them They’re talking about bringing the horse home Think Jonesy says to Riley he’d break your bed Actually, his his penis would break your bed and yeah during this whole exchange Riley’s wearing two party hat Cone shaped, uh, bra.
Yeah, there’s, there’s a lot of, there’s a lot of fun there. Um, and, uh, and just [01:00:00] ended off during the party. Katie gets another text from Stuart and this time she responds to tell him that she can’t meet him that night because she’s busy, but does not close the door on it. And the last shot is of Wayne, you know, bruised and, and with a.
black eye, wearing a tiara and cake on his face, blowing a noise, blowing his noisemaker and Darius saying, there’s the toughest guy in Letterkenny. And that’s the perfect way to kind of end that episode.
Victor: And I was actually interested to see if the skids would be at the party or not, but obviously they weren’t.
Allan: Yeah, they weren’t. But, uh, yeah.
Victor: And, and, and again, the skids was an interesting, so that scene where, you know, she was walking. Walking past them and they had that moment and while in the background they’re all still doing that weird dance And you know William and I are looking at each other thinking what?
What’s happening? What what is this? What are they doing? It’s just so weird and unusual that that’s even happening, but it’s just part of the background. There’s no mention made to it, it’s just there. [01:01:00] It’s just what they do,
Allan: that’s how they spend their time, they do drugs and then they go dance outside a building.
Yeah,
Victor: it’s just so bizarre, that’s all.
Allan: Yeah. There is a post credit scene. Uh, this time it’s of, uh, did you watch it? I
Mat: actually did this time. Yeah. I feel like I missed all the post credit scenes and this one, I’m not going to lie. I think this might’ve been my favorite part. Really?
Allan: It’s so, I’ve got the clip, but it’s so long.
I’m not going to play it, but it
Victor: goes on. It goes on for a little long. So brilliant.
Allan: Yeah. Uh, and it’s basically Jonesy and Riley, uh, on audition tape to, to be on amazing race Canada. I’m, I’m guessing.
Victor: The best, the best part of the clip is, is the one where he’s hitting, kicking the soccer ball into the net when he’s standing literally like half a foot away from the net and the ball goes over the net.
Yeah. There’s supposed to be.
Mat: No, I’ll [01:02:00] disagree. I think the line that caught me, I mean, I don’t know if you have that there ready to go, but I think it was Jonesy said, or Riley said, you know, Jonesy, um, it’s like Mark Wahlberg and Ted, and then he pauses, no wait, Lone Survivor.
Allan: I don’t have it isolated. I only have the entire clip and I don’t want to play the whole thing.
But yeah, it’s
Mat: a little,
Allan: yeah, there’s some, it just kills me, man. And then you
Victor: need the visuals.
Allan: Yeah. So, so if anyone who hasn’t watched it, they should watch it. But the, the scene where they’re showing how agile they are, and they’re basically just climbing a kid’s playground and every, and at every stage, they’re high fiving each other and hugging each other because, because like they’ve accomplished something.
It’s just, yeah, it’s, it’s
Victor: amazing. And as they’re bumping each other’s tires, the visuals of them just completely failing. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, when they’re
Allan: talking about how athletic they are, yeah, you mentioned the soccer ball, but also the Scene before that he throws a football and the guy does not catch it And it just goes on like these guys are supposed to be athletic.
I mean, they can’t do [01:03:00] anything
Mat: Amazing race a hundred percent. I bring these assholes on. Oh, like they would be the most They’d be the first people to be out. Yeah It would be amazing to watch that shit show just roll out.
Allan: Yeah. Yeah Uh, so So let’s see, uh, just going through the Canadian slang that, or just the slang in general from the show Ferda, we’ve already went through D Jen’s Texas size, 10, four Sandoz.
So Sandoz. Uh, our sandwiches, uh, they, they, they refer to them a lot. Uh, Schneef. I, I didn’t, I didn’t, uh, get the, the clip where, um, uh, Squirrelly Dan talks about where he’s, he’s, uh, he’s, he’s done Schneef.
Mat: I’m pretty sure it’s a cocaine reference. It is. And what, what, what I loved was how specific they got into those references.
If you didn’t catch it, there was a Gordon Korman reference in the middle of all that mess. Um, like at one point he said, I once, I once hoovered Schneef off of Gordon Corman’s, uh Um, what is it? Fuck, I’m totally blanking on the [01:04:00] name of the book. Uh, Gordon Corman’s This Can’t Be Happening at McDonald Hall.
That caught me, and I laughed my ass off.
Allan: What, who is Gordon Corman?
Mat: He’s a Canadian author. I mean, I’ve read maybe I have books in the history of my life, and one of them was a Gordon Corman book, so this caught me and made me laugh.
Allan: Yeah, uh, cause I heard the reference too, and I just, I didn’t, like I didn’t, there’s many references I don’t catch, and that was one of them I just kind of, uh, chalked it up to, he must be somebody, you know, famous that I just never heard of before.
From Letter Canyon, yeah. Yeah, and then of course, beaker or beaking, and that’s trash talking, so, uh, that, in reference to Rad Ass, he was doing a lot of beaking. Yeah. And then, uh, so just the music on the show. Uh, we have some, uh, repeat, uh, bands here, uh, Kaboom Atomic, um, uh, keys and crates. Uh, there’s some favorites here that I think the producers of the show like, uh, um, deadly, deadly snakes, [01:05:00] chains of love.
There’s a lot of great music in this episode and I’ll, I’ll list, I’ve listed and linked to all of them. Uh, again, we have a Spotify playlist called the produce stand. podcast playlist for anyone who’s interested. Uh, and you can check it out there. Um, all of the, the information on, or most of the information that I’ve gathered from the show is from the letterkenny.
fandom. com site. It’s a wiki. Um, so there’s all of that, uh, guys, let’s get to the rating for this episode. Uh, we’ll start, let’s start with Tanya today. Um, what rating would you give today’s episode?
Tanya: I’m still going with a clearance.
Allan: Clearance. All right. So I think, uh, we, we’ve probably found Tanya’s top end for this, uh,
Mat: for this show.
Allan: Anything?
Mat: I’ll say if Tanya’s ratings average out as a clearance, that’s a win.
Allan: I think so.
Mat: Yeah,
Allan: I think so.
Tanya: Only cause I, I, I, I, yeah, I liked the, Seeing a little [01:06:00] bit more of Wayne’s character. I liked seeing that but so much repetition on the jokes like And in no case have I ever sat at a table and had the same Three words of a sentence repeated with only changing the last Word or two and and that joke just kind of float around the table several times.
I see that’s
Allan: that’s the table. I want to be part of. I
Tanya: just.
Victor: That’s because your kids aren’t teenagers yet. You just wait.
Tanya: It just it sounds like do you remember when you were kids and somebody would repeat what you said and then it would just annoy you. And so I still kind of it still feels like that to me where it’s just that repeat of of that annoying kid.
Allan: I love it. I think it’s
Mat: great. It’s cute at first. And then you want to strangle them by the end.
Allan: Sure. Sure. Oh, I get that part. The
Tanya: ball one, that, that one did a little bit better cause that they changed it a little bit more and it made it a little bit better. So that’s why I’m doing clearance on, on this one.
But, uh, [01:07:00] you
Allan: know, I’m taking your clearance and I’m running with it. By the way, that repetition in, in, in comedy is called callbacks. All right. So is
Tanya: it then? Sorry, I shall refer to it as that. You know what I kept on thinking of? Do you remember that shirt that we’ve lost? It said Department of Redundancy Department.
I just kept on thinking, where is that shirt? You should be wearing it right now.
Allan: Yes, thank you. Matt, what rating would you give it?
Mat: This one’s a fresh for sure.
Allan: I
Mat: mean, it was great. I liked it from start to finish. The, yeah, I’m just going to leave it at that. It’s fresh.
Victor: And, Victor, what would you give it?
Yeah, it’s an easy fresh. You know, if last, if episode one was a clearance, um, thinking back, on the verge of toss it compared to this one, toss it into the compost, that is. Um, I, I, I, this one is a total fresh, and I’ll tell you why. Um, first At no point did [01:08:00] I feel Uncomfortable watching the show with my son and my wife at thinking there’s too much Vulgarity or there’s too much Hatred or bigotry or things like that because I I you know regardless of kind of your thoughts on it I just thought that it was going a little too far with the whole gay thing in the episode one But, um, I just thought this was, again, I’ll, I’ll come, I use the same words, uh, whimsical, entertaining, uh, amusing, uh, and just, just good natured ribbing and fun.
And, and, um, more character development. My favorite character now, uh, which is Squirrelly Dan. I loved that he had so many lines. Uh, I just, I can’t get enough of him. So I’m, you know, hoping that continues. Um, and, uh, you know, so. Just comparing, comparing one, you know, last week to this week, this is a, you know, high fresh rating.
Allan: Very good. I’m going to agree with you. I think this one here had a lot [01:09:00] more heart than the first one than the first episode. I think it showed a side of like, uh, you know, when I first watched the show, I thought the first one brought me in in terms of the laughs and like the comedy. This one kept me, kept me Because it kind of showed me, oh, okay, there’s gonna be, there’s gonna be some depth to these characters.
There’s gonna be some heart to this show. It’s not just about, uh, it’s not just about hicks, and skids, and fights. It’s gonna be more, about more than that. And uh, that’s why, that’s what I appreciates about this show. And uh. For sure, this one is, is a fresh with me. So let’s go to our rankings. I want to rank our everyone’s top three episodes.
So right now, everyone in the number one spot, just by default, I have the first episode of the season. So, uh, I’ll start with you, Victor. Uh, is this episode enough to do dethrone? I think, I think, I don’t know the answer, but is this one, uh, enough to dethrone episode one as your favorite?
Victor: So yeah, this, this, this jumps to the top for sure.
Allan: All right. And Tanya, how [01:10:00] about you? What would you say? She’s giving it some thought.
Tanya: I, I, because the first one I actually did find myself laughing two times.
Allan: Yeah. Twice. So we have that’s documented two laughs. This
Tanya: one. I didn’t laugh at all. I know you didn’t know. I know,
Allan: but I think you were in a different, in a weird mood last night.
I think you were in a weird mood last night, but yeah, you’re right.
Tanya: Back to the office. I had a lot more in my mind and yeah, maybe not. Maybe that was the real, but okay. I’ll um, Oh dear. Okay. I’ll say this one’s better.
Allan: Yeah. I mean, you don’t have to. No, you should
Tanya: be honest. You should be honest.
Allan: Don’t, don’t do it to appease us.
If you still like the first episode. No, because the first one was, no, the first one
Tanya: was, it was not good. The only thing that I liked is that Wayne stood up for the little guy in the last, and, and that whole Ferdinand, whatever, reference that, you know, I kind of saw the direction of where it was going.
You’re just proud of yourself for that reference. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know, it’s a weird reference [01:11:00] that my sister in law uses, so I’ll say this one, this one’s better than the last. Alright, Matt, what do
Allan: you say? Hundo P. Hundo P.
Mat: This has been, I don’t know,
Allan: it’s a weird reference
Mat: that my sister in law uses.
Okay. So, uh, Yes, I would say this one. That is not a letter, Kenny,
Allan: approve. So, so you, you, you ranked this one
Victor: for good, buddy.
Allan: Yeah, I was trying, I was going through my memory bank. I’m like, I don’t remember that one. Hundo P Oh, a hundred percent. Gotcha. All right, I get it now. Hun.
Mat: P, right. Oh,
Allan: right, okay. Oh
Mat: my.
So,
Allan: um,
Mat: don’t judge, judge me, whatever you want. I’m good. .
Allan: So this one, number one. So, uh, to so far, of course,
Tanya: although that, remember that first episode when the, the burning bush. Uh, and the reference that put your finger here and she likes that and that’s how hell feels. That was, that was a good one.
Allan: Well, come on, are you changing your mind?
You can change your mind. It’s, it’s more interesting when we don’t all agree. Like right now we all have this one as number one. I think
Victor: that’s great. I didn’t find that line [01:12:00] funny at all. I didn’t find that reference is not an episode to make.
Allan: No, no. So, so are you changing your mind or are you sticking to it?
No, no, no. She’s sticking to it. All right. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to agree with everyone. I think this one is a little bit better than number one. Um, I really enjoyed this one again because it showed warmth and, and, and more depth in the story and the characters. All right, uh, does anybody have any final remarks before, uh, I, uh, put this one to bed?
Matt, we’ll start with you. Pitter
Mat: patter. Yeah, pitter patter. Pitter patter. Yeah, I mean, it’s, this was a good one. This is one of the episodes that kept me hooked and kept me going through the seasons. Um Uh, I just, I enjoyed this
Victor: one for sure.
Allan: Yeah. Uh, Victor?
Victor: Yeah, same. Uh, you know, with each episode, I’m kind of hoping that the next one will continue to, uh, keep it up because again, I’m watching it with Linda and, uh, and William.
Wait till you hear what the next one is. What’s Linda’s opinion on this? What to expect, like, is it going to be, because again, you know, [01:13:00] I, I watched a few of these, um, a few years ago, and, and I found them way, at that time, I thought this show was just incredible, and now watching it back, it just, it just, it is good, it’s just not as good as, it’s like watching Alf again now.
Tanya: Alf?
Victor: I’m not comparing it
Tanya: to
Victor: that. People have no idea what I’m talking about. Back in 1987, or whenever the hell that was.
Tanya: There was a puppet. I
Victor: thought ALF was the greatest thing on earth, uh, or a Melmac. And, and, and now it’s just the most stupid, ridiculous thing ever, right? So, so I just kind of, I’m not comparing it to that.
It’s not that drastic, but an example, an example, the way this episode started with the, uh, with Jonesy and Riley talking, when I watched that thing, For the first time two years ago. I thought it was just brilliant and for me that was the most forgettable scene in this episode
Allan: Yes.
Victor: Yes, it’s just interesting.
Allan: Yeah, and I mean I [01:14:00] think yeah in subsequent watches You and so maybe it’ll be more interesting to get your thoughts when when we go beyond the first season and you start watching episodes You didn’t watch before To see, uh, like how, how you feel about those? Because yeah, I mean, like I said, I’ve, I’ve seen them all once through and now I’m watching them again with Tanya and, uh, uh, yeah, I’m appreciating different parts of it and also parts that I remember thinking were brilliantly funny or now like, huh, but I still think it’s, it’s really, I mean, You know, this isn’t Shakespeare.
This is, it’s a Canadian comedy about hicks, kids, hockey players, and, and Christians. So it’s
Mat: modern Shakespeare. Don’t, don’t discredit it.
Allan: So, uh, you know, we’re not looking for, uh, I don’t know, um, Mrs. Maisel level writing, but I am very appreciative of what we are getting. so far. So I’m saying
Tanya: appreciate it like that.
Allan: It’s not,
Mat: it’s not Hamilton. That’s what we appreciate about you, Tanya.
Allan: All right. So, uh, uh, I’m going to play us off here with one of the songs from this [01:15:00] episode. Uh, it’s called, uh, when it comes to you by the dead ghosts.
I love, I love the music to it. There’s a lot of like 60s vibe, like guitar, kind of lots of echo and stuff from, from like that era. It’s all like new music, but it’s got that, like, I don’t know. What do you think, Victor?
Victor: Sorry, Alex, it’s hard to hear. Oh, you can’t hear me. All
Allan: right. So that’s all we have for this episode. Next week, we’ll recap episode three from season one. Fart book. So Victor, you know how you’re saying you, you hope it gets better.
