So either you have listened before or you just have really good Instinct. I would say good Instinct. There you go. Ha. I don't listen too many podcasts really to be. Like I was just a lot of music and everything, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, good is awesome. Well, we appreciate you joining us today. We will start we quickly did. Were you speaking to us from I am in the North Bay Ontario, but I am on it's actually Nipissing first nation, which is outside of North Bay. Right? Nice. And right on the lake. Yeah. Beautiful. And like Nipissing, and we were just chatting before we started recording you to. You posted some, some video of you and a buddy, launching golf balls into Lake Nipissing. So it looks, look like a beautiful day there yesterday, here was kind of cold and rainy. Oh geez. Yeah, I know it was beautiful. Sunny. We smoked a goose outside on the charcoal barbecue and I looked pretty good at when we're launching a ball is actually almost hit my buddy. I was trying to be cool and I just like sliced it, and I was like, well, I have some notes for your form. I think, you know, you need to keep your head still. And when you rotate never mind, just that's amazing. Is that where you're originally from North Bay? No. No, this is where I like my wife's from this is her community. I am from Sega mcnish, not BEC First Nations. Okay. It's just along the Spanish River or more off the secure on shores. Okay, so I think it'd be like an hour outside of Sudbury, right? That's not near purring sound, is it probably about two and a half from Parry Sound? Okay? Okay. Yeah, very cool. Yeah, it's a nice area up there, so you're from there originally. And is that? So your but now You're living in North Bay? Yeah. Yeah. With your wife. Oh yeah. Very good. Very good. So it's funny because we have been talking now for a few months about having you on and you have been busy and which is good. I mean, yes, he's always good. But you just finished a stint as a crew member on Big Brother Canada. Yeah, yeah, I did, I was doing a camera operating and also what we call it a TV an okay which is yeah television video assistant just had me running Tires and stuff and setting up the robo, cams and stuff. And that's cool, pretty cool. That's cool. Yeah, so with big like, forgive us, I don't know how this works. It has it aired yet or is it going to are or what's happening? Oh, we it airs as we shoot it. Okay, really okay, so it's done, it's done then yeah, it's done. Yeah, we wrapped it up a couple weeks ago so there's no, there's no danger that you will like let it slip, who want anything that we just all because I know what's your favorite part of working on Big Brother? I would say camera operating is the funnest part because you're literally just in these hallways in the house like you're in a two-way mirror, and they don't see you at the camera. I just think it's hilarious because like oh man they're arguing, and I am just here and I got someone in my ear going like zoom in on their face and you never feel like this is awkward to be in a room with somebody that's Arguing with each other. Like you don't want to like walk out of it, you're like, oh, I have to stay. This is on purpose. I am being here and filming. It is a little awkward with those. Like it's my second year doing it. The first year, I was kind of like, oh crap, but you can't turn the volume down on what they're saying on the mic. So I can just turn it down and just say, all right, so whatever you know what I mean? Exactly, basically a professional but yours what you are? Yeah, yeah. Lawyer So it's so, I mean we used to I remember when Big Brother first start first came out. Yeah. We I think we watch the first couple of seasons and, and back then it was a big deal because they were these were live cams that they left on like even on the you go online and watch through the. So, I mean, how much of this is kind of like covering a sporting event like for. So, how many, where's the house is it in, Toronto? It's, it is in Toronto. Yeah, I just can't say no, that's fine, it's weird. Yeah, and the City of Toronto I think it's like 190 Cameras, holy crap towel so that cook that yeah, that control room. So it's all just screens and stuff. Yeah, so there's we got to control, we got the control room, where they have the, the TDS, the technical directors, who are just again, watching everything. And then, we also have a thing called the hot seat, which is where they again, probably like seven people in there watching everything that they say and do, right? So, it's kind of weird wacky. It's like a revolving door 24/7. Yeah, people coming in and out. No like different crew members you can imagine like having to go through all that footage to as an editor and like editing it down to one hour will like that's insane. It's do you have spotters? I get it. Go ahead and Victor easily, you could easily transition that into kind of different kind of show and have jigsaw sitting behind the monitors and turn it into a horror message. Horror show. We have, we have arrested Victor with us tonight. I can tell already I am just throwing out ideas. I just think it would be wild, like it would be like a whole other way of looking at life through a camera like that as yeah. That's why also is there directing and real-time kind of like a not sporting event where there's somebody in the room. Going like, saying, go to camera three now and then go to camera 10. Now, you know, or does that happen or do you guys? Yeah, no, it's literally nothing to technical directors. We have a couple of Dreams, and they're like, all right, we need someone to go to camera 75 and into have also the robocam guys. Okay, we're going to cut to you. Alright? And then at the same time we're doing the live streams, right? As we're shooting it. So like I think there're six streams and total that they got to keep going to capture unless there's a little more to it. Wow, that's a lot of. That's a lot of moving Parts. Yeah, holy crap. And how long, how long did the shoot take? Three months around 3 months or 3 months and every house every day doing that. Yeah. I think they're well there's prep getting it already, right? And I think they're there in the house for your 75. 70 days with now like internet. No pens. No pencils, no paper. No board games. Wow, it's insane. Don't I would never sign up Bradley. Would you ever sign? Up to be a participant. Oh God, no, no, no, no, no, no, no money in the world, he always has the crew were always talked. Like, you got to be so crazy to get on this damn show. I was wondering about that. Yeah, because I wouldn't. Yeah, I couldn't you couldn't pay me enough to do that. I do it as a challenge like that sound and Victor. I was paid to see you do that. You know what, I think a lot of our listeners would pay to see Vicar In the Big Brother house for sure, picture. I would be like, okay, they never said anything about a model train that I can work on while I am in here. Those bearing you I think I could Outlast some folks. Oh, we had one contestant because they had no pen and paper. He took like a tray and like some flour, and he would literally sit there draw with his finger in the flour. And so, why not, like, why not writing utensils, what's that about? Because a lot of the challenges to our He based, so they're like, all right. Oh so and fourth week who got eliminated and how many votes they got? They got to like throw a ball at the correct answer. Something it's wow, are you allowed to have a guitar? No. No. Instrumental guitar, Victor, thank you, only get an iPod with your playlist that you get to pick from but for you get in but that's only if you win the head of household. Wow. So they get the perk of like music and like their favorite drinks and snacks and stuff. So it's interesting because a lot of reality shows they get Flack for not, not necessarily being very real in terms of it, there's a lot of magic and trickery that's happening in the back like in the background. You're saying big brother is pretty much what you see is what you get. Yeah, yeah. What you see, is what you get is very much yet, interesting. Yes. I have to start watching Big Brother again. Well, I guess that far but I mean, it's still interesting. I think to season 11. How many seasons have you worked on that? Only two so far? Yeah. Yeah. They do a season a year right? Excuse me. Yeah. And it's always between February. February March. April ends at like the first week of May. Oh, man. Just in time for you to get onto the Letterkenny set. Yeah. Well, I haven't watched since season 2 and somebody but if I find out that your part of the crew on season 11. I promise I will watch. Oh yeah. Awesome! Awesome, awesome. I am deaf. He's going to work that gig every year because yeah it's an awesome crew just like Letterkenny. They're like awesome Crews. It's like summer camp. Basically working with Letterkenny crew and this big brother crew and it's like a family now. Yeah. Well you spend enough time together. Yeah, I imagine. Oh yeah. That's great. All right, well, I mean you're an actor. That's why you're here. Let us talk about that. How did you get into act? I went to Canadore College here in North Bay for a film and television. Ian and I just sort of just acted in my own skits, right? And I think, yeah. Letterkenny is actually my first roll the oh, gotcha. Talk was just like my student short film. I did. Okay, and I apologize for mangling that I am sure. I don't know. It's all good. I was like, well, I think I said oh get Tak is on like that. Yeah, so let us talk about that. So that's your is that was kind of your final project or whatever? First film school. Is that what you got? Because you wrote directed and acted in it. Yeah. I wrote it. I think in a week I was like behind on my studies, I wrote it in a week and the whole thing was like, oh, every student has to pitch to the teachers and idea. So I pitched an idea of like, oh, I want to do this short film where it's like the Warriors Meats, like the native, and like these natives backstory. Yeah, I like the movie, The Warriors. It was like the whole idea of like, okay, different gangs coming together and stuff and like, they have beef but as in The midst of getting all ready, the one of the professors are the producer, so they had like two creative control over. So the story changed a lot, and I am rambling again. It's okay. No, no, no. I mean, I read the description, it sounded interesting. And I mean, you're, you, you were, obviously, you produce this film. Is there, is it available anywhere that we can watch it? Like, I think it's on Vimeo it should be on Vimeo, okay, under the Canadore College page and my friend Martin Smith actually, Help me produce it uses like the main producer on it, and he's the first ad on Letterkenny cool. Second ad on Letterkenny. Yes. Well, the only other question I have about this project is, I mean, you wrote produced and directed it, sorry, you wrote directed and acted in it. You couldn't give yourself the lead role. Like, you're like you're pretty far down on the IMDb list for this movie. It's your movie. I know that was a challenge to do that, I am like, but I wanted to leave Roll to be someone like the one eyed person. I chose Lindsay saracen. Okay. Like I wanted that typical like okay, you skin he's got good bone structure, right? I am like I am not much of a lead I am more of like that. Like the FAQ on a couch like oh wait a minute, it's your goddamn movie because it works for Kevin Smith. Their works for Seth Rogen is he you had all those other hats to wear? I get it. I get it. It's hard to memorize my lines and Aw s*** that we get this shot from this angle already, and so I mean so you did this in film school. So I guess that gave you quite a bit of a, an appreciation than for what goes into to doing this. Like you know, wearing all those hats on the same set is not easy. Oh God, no. No, especially when I have like again our professor act like a producer, and he was always breathing down the neck. Like, oh, we got to get this in time. We got It maybe should we shoot that again? I am just like, no, I think we got it and just, I don't know. I don't know if I can direct again or doing like after that experience. I was like, I kind of like being the middleman in. Right? Right. Well, I was going to ask you of those three rolls writer director and actor. Which one did you enjoy? Most. The writing in the acting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Directing is way too stressful for me. Would you do it? Have you been writing anything else? Or is that something you aspire to do? I am still aspiring to do it. I haven't really picked up the pen yet since probably three years ago because I have been so busy with work, right? Like as a digital image technician nowadays. And like, I was the second assistant camera and just paying the bills. It sort of just kind of slipped through my fingers. I kind of want to get back and do it in like sketch comedy. And like right now. Yes, comedy bits. Yeah, I had one where I am like, I want to do like a native Family Feud, but it's just sort of nice Shhhh and I don't like really weird. Native gets Yeah, that might be interesting. So we had, I mean, the last cast member we had on, was your buddy, Dylan cook. This is maybe over a month ago now, and he, he told us about a bunch of movies that, you know, he was in and that you were in with him and, and he, you know, recommended a lot of them. And so, as a result since interviewing him, I have seen a lot of them because, you know, it's interesting to go back and check those out. So let us like to go through a couple of these, if you don't mind. 20:19 the incredible 25th year of Mitzi, bear claw. So, yeah, interesting. I was a good movie. I enjoyed it. And the actress Morningstar Angeline, she gave me kind of, like, Jennifer Lawrence Vibes in that movie was, is pretty interesting. What did you, what did you think about being on that one? It was interesting because Shelly is very creative and then the because my first night on set was the dream sequence, and I am like, I was in this weird penguin tuxedo thing, and I am like, I thought I was supposed to be a bully in this and then Emily didn't tell me about this part. And I was like, oh we're showered and like it was so creepy and weird. Yeah. And it had to have Dylan. Also in like the boils and everything. I am just like, what the hell am I getting myself into like with this is all you're going through my mind. Was that the first movie or show? You're on with the I guess 2019 you would have already been on Letterkenny. So, Is it like in your contract that whatever you do Dylan's got to be in it as well? Pretty much, pretty much funny thing is. I met Dylan before Letterkenny and before this film? Yeah, because I was looking for a lead to do my own guitar and Dylan was originally supposed to be the lead. Okay. But I think there's like a scheduling conflict, so he couldn't do it. So I got the other guy to acted in interesting. Yeah, we're done. You meet Dylan? It was just through online actually because I just put out a casting call like Looking for, and it did just mailed, and he reached out and disorder chit-chatted from there. And then I think I remember I auditioned for Letterkenny as well. I got this Rule, and then he messaged me, he's like, oh I got this got into it, I am like, oh yeah, good timing. Yeah. When we, when last we spoke to Dylan, he was expecting a kid. I think, I think in June. I don't know. I guess it hasn't happened yet but any news from him? Oh, nothing yet, but he's excited, he's like heat. This, I think a couple weeks ago is, yeah, I am going to be a dad, I am like, holy s***, I think we all go through that moment of oh my God, are we old enough for this? Exactly. I am like I can barely take care of my dog here. Yeah, she's actually pretty sick. She's a little sick today. So happy. Yeah she got a some of the Goofs yesterday thing was Too rich for her belly. Yeah, that's not. There's a lot of butter in that goose. I think that you were you lose it? Butter in there. Yeah, it was actually uses really greasy itself. Yeah. So it was that has most of the goose grease, but we did put a half a cup. Oh, Do we lose every first picture still there? Oh, I am still here. I am still here, they're okay. Yeah, if we do freeze dime on starlink, that's, that's what I am on right now. Damn you, Ilan. Yeah. Oh man. I will cool. Yeah, Indian horse skipped over this 1, 2017. I watched Indian horse and I really, really enjoyed that movie and it won a lot of awards to what was that? What was it like being on that one? Oh, I was Trainee. That's why I was starting on that film. Oh you're in the crew on that one. Okay, I also acted in it but the funny thing was they had original actor to do that scene and I think they bailed out last. Oh yeah you played the. That's right. I remember the scene now was here. The his brother or something? Or know his friends friend left at the residence School Lonnie? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that was a sad scene. So we're you. So yeah. That was originally, you weren't supposed to do that one? No, not at all. I was just. Yeah. Camera trainee, slinging batteries for the boys and just like making sure everything's clean. And, you know, just doing my trainee gig, right? And then they're like, oh, we don't have an actor. And then I think they looked at me, and they're like, oh, you're on Letterkenny, give her full action member, and then they looked at the kid and like, you kind of look like the kid because like, yeah, I can do it, like, let me call my agent. Like, wow. So that's how I got the part on it and then it was an intense scene to shoot actually. Yeah guy I never done an emotional scene like that is like no I was crying my eyes off, and then we did this after we did this scene. Everyone was crying like the producer directors, and I was just like, I am done. It's a heavy movie. I can't imagine going from that. Letterkenny. Seen to seem like that. Just must be quite the contrast. Oh yeah. No, no. It was weird, and I was like, I am supposed to be a 16-year old, and I am like they have to shave my face. Face and put some makeup on and it was really a really weird stretches. Your acting chops that. Yeah, I am sure, and a great movie to be involved into why it won like 10 Awards and, and yeah, lot of Acclaim on that one. Oh, yeah, I know the DP was amazing. His name's Eve Belanger, and he shot the Dallas. Buyers Club, big little lies. Wow, the Wilds, I think of this we have Reese Witherspoon. Yeah. Yeah. Big movies so yeah. Yeah and it's still available on Netflix now so it's easily accessible, which is really good. Yeah. And I would say like the viewers go watch an education, get educated on yeah. Residential school was like yeah it's heavy. It's heavy viewing. But at the same time I think it had a, I mean is so is it based on a true story that the main character? He was an actual person. I can't remember. Now, I believe. So I can remember now either, like, haven't read the book. Yeah, but I, I think it is based on a true story. Yeah, I mean, just like, yeah, hockey on my own grandfather went through something like that to it was. Yeah. So, I mean, the basic story is just there's an indigenous kid who grows up and be and, and residential school. And then goes on to play hockey at the pro level, not at the NHL level, but he had a like he had all the tools. He had all the talent to play in the NHL and then just life. Turn on him and kept him from ever making the shell. Yeah. And again, it's this. If you watch the film you do you know what triggers saying? Is that the racism? The experiences while playing the game, and he's like, but I am doing such a good job. Yeah, I am playing such a good game yet. They still treat me as this crazy anishinabe. Like crazy Indian. Like I am just yeah. And, and the abuse he suffered in the school and the residential school, and they would ask me. Yeah, yeah. It's a really well-done. Lick. So Kudos on that one. And then the other only other note here. I have got nine 2019. You were in a horror film called, she never dies, all that's a face. I only wish he never died. Henry Roland's. I guess he dropped out last minute, and then they made it to. She never died. And yeah, that was a weird one. I was like, they had me in my thin and tidy whities sitting in like the drunk tank like, like I am hallucinating or something. That's like all I remember from the dead. That's crazy. I only bring it up because I looked at the IMD list and there was somebody in the movie called Lawrence Cowan and I wondered that's not the Gowen. Is it that wasn't a Criminal Mind gallon is it? I am not sure you too young to even know who is a gallon is the thing? I am too. Yeah, I am only 31. Yes. Yeah. Well yeah. You may not mean not even know who gown is. Anyways, a Canadian singer. Who's now who now plays keyboard for four sticks? I believe. But oh s***. Yeah, I didn't know he was an actor but his name's in the IMDb credits. I was wondering if that was him. Anyway that night, that's neither here nor there you will have to check out his IMDb later and see if this movie is inspected. Oh yeah. Maybe he does have an IMDb. But anyway, so let us move on to why we're here. And why everyone's listening? They want to know about Letterkenny, we will start with how you got on. I mean, mention it a bit briefly already, but how did you get the gig at Letterkenny? It was again, I was on Facebook. I was a fan of the web series, so I was following the web series when he was releasing his videos and everything, and I was like oh s***, let hurricane is to so funny. I wonder if they'd ever make it a TV show and it on Facebook. It is pops up in the northern casting is just like we're looking for auditions for, you know, Natives and for Letterkenny. And I was like, no, f****** way. So, Adam Sherlock, I just like, I sent in a photo they're like, okay, come do an audition. So I was like, I had to really prepare myself. So, I just started getting that into that accent a bit. Try to get that fast-paced. I am just like, it's kind of natural for me. Because again, Larry Kenny's, like back home for me and sagging work, right? I grew up with the like round. The valley boys, the farm boys who just like went to high school friggin that their Dairy Farmers to Maria. Is that Mooney Farms that says, what it is? But again, he has just like back home this to s*** talking to riff in the fastness and then I got the audition and I rolled up, I had a plaid shirt like this, but it was blue. I ripped the sleeves off had like a Biggie Smalls t-shirt, underneath the trucker hat and I just went in. Did the audition nail it? They Add me to a callback. Came in. Did it again and I? Yeah. So I got the part. Very cool. That's so exciting. Yeah. Can you recall what was the description of the character? Like, do they give like character Bibles or whatever? For yeah, it was axe was like a, just a heavyset native, dude. Like, in just a big guy and that's pretty much all that was, I think. Yeah. But I remember yeah. I was like sounds like me. I could do that. Yeah, yeah. Very cool. I can look mean And then you said, you knew Dylan already before this. But when you found out that he was in a to, I mean, how close are you guys, like, are you bud before this? But yeah, we're buds acquaintances before this but then, as we started shooting really. Oh but cool, man. Like sure, you smoke weed. I smoke weed. All right, besties. Now, yeah, there's a lot of dynamic Duo's on, on this show, like, you know, rolled and Stewart, Riley and Jonesy and you can tell that they work a lot on their kind of the characters relationships and like, on screen. You know what I mean? Your energy with eternity with each other. I mean, I know that like Tyler Johnson and Evans often post videos on Instagram of them rehearsing, whatever movements or whatever they might be doing this scene. Do you get any chance to do that with Dylan? Like do you guys get to say how are we? To do this or is it pretty much on the you know you'd stick to the script? It's pretty much we kind of stick to the script but it's like on the fly like we just sort of like this. Do it like hey just smoking hanging out. Just treat it. Like we're buds, you know like you're my buddy from the reserve like you're my cousin and s*** so you know right I think we got it down pat yeah I mean these a lot of pairs have been awarded with more screen time and more Or kind of story time as I mean obviously you wouldn't mind getting more storytime right. Like oh yeah I wouldn't mind at all because you're a writer. I am going to give you an opportunity right now to pitch what a slash and acts storyline might be on an episode of Letterkenny. Oh s***, I would say / going to d0 going to a Tanis to Give me s*** for running like my own like res, dog, home. Like I am just hoarding all the res dogs and taking care of them, okay. He's just getting super pissed because it's like your dog s*** all over the house or just sleeping on the couch. Eating all our mac and cheese like it. I love it, why not? That sounds great. I mean, that's possible for, you know what's? So, because we're always hoping and always dreaming that Kiesel, you know, listens to the podcast. So maybe have a yeah, maybe the world were It will get to him, and he will hear your idea and, you know, season 12 Isabel Evans already in the can will see an accent / storyline he's sick. I know we ended up teaching us to be the Zamboni driver. That's right. Yeah. I am excited to see where they go with that. Yeah, for sure. Very cool. Now we asked some of our we let our listeners know that you're coming on. We asked them if they had any questions for you and so they did send a few questions in. So I have got some Small first, some comments from a few listeners. This one here that's great. Bradley has been part of the family since season 1 he has done many jobs on set now works with my deit onshore Z should be a great interview and that's from none other than Billy but tree. Oh I love Billy. Billy is awesome. Yeah. And he's a big fan of yours. Oh and he did have a question for you though. He said ask him about the dog humping his leg on the farm. The final dog. Loved his boots. It's God, damn, any time. I wore those boots are, like, I think there were like these hilly, handsome work boots, and I guess I was this around another female dog, but it was a border collie, and we're just standing her, and I am working with the behind the scenes crew, and the heat us would run up to me. Just start humping the s*** out of me. I am just like, what the f*** and like we're in the middle of it? Take? No, I am just taking it. I will just take it by the dog waiting for him. It's so hard to look cool. When it. Dogs, humping your leg. You have to report that to the HR 2018 canceled, what do you wouldn't? Leave me alone? No matter where I went, it would just come and then just try to hump me Debbie date bacon in your boots or something, but it's funny cuz they hired me on I will be been season two as a PA and my job specifically on the on. The Forum was just hanging out with those dogs all day. So do the dog. This hump Brad all day. I think you will just love them, and we will just keep them out of the shots and hang out with them. Not a bad gig, not a bad gig. Yeah, but I thought, what was it? What's his name was the dog Wrangler? Oh yeah, his name is escaping me. The guy who says you all the time. Oh man.

Oh yeah. Very good comment threads. Yeah, exactly. I got another met, a comment here. F****** right. Boy, scraggly is an amazing human being with a great sense of humor. Don't miss it. Patrick plywood McNeil f***** Patrick welcome. So are you and Patrick the to get cast members that are also work kind of behind the scenes where there are others? Yeah we and we actually went to school together. Yeah, let us see. Yeah, the same year and everything in the same school actually and when we were he's starting to ask its I did a couple of them with him, he actually like jumped out of my damn truck. While we're doing like 60, 60 kilometers, an hour down, the road, what and me like jumps into Snowbank. So I grew up in that jackass face. I am like, I loved you and s*** like that and I would do some more. So Patrick's listening, I want him to like contact me. I am sure Patrick will listen to this one and as will Billy. So he will get a kick out of hearing your answers for that one. All right. Oh I didn't write down who asked this one. But basically what are your steak record requirements? SP how many minutes are a little Gordon? Ramsay go for it. We know how you like to smoke. A duck God. So, for me, it's a cast iron skillet high heat, just salt. And then when I do the flip, I throw butter and garlic. That's it. That sounds like doing. I could I if it's at least two inch thick, I do three minutes aside, get it like a rare almost medium-rare if I want, and then polish it off with black pepper interests. Yeah, it sounds delicious mistake. Then Down the Hatch, which it was your favorite fight scene on the show? One that well, I guess the one you're involved. Your favorite fights in you were involved in? Oh God. It has to be the way to a man's heart. The cook barbecue one, the cookout, that was the funnest one because I think that when they less have a lot more play, right? So is this like awesome. I get this. The grapple this other big guy who's like a trained him. I am an f***. I was trained on res, you know, but like we're just like grappling each other and like, when I got to like stomp on him and just like Barrel the chest, just let it out. That was awesome. The reason we did is pretty cool too where I am just like running at the guy and I charged at them outside the arena, right? That in season 10. Yeah. Yeah. But I hit my I missed the mat and I hurt my f****** knee. I jumped up and I do And in that one day, he hit the mat. In the other knee, hit the ground. I was didn't tell anyone just try to play it cool. Like yeah, I am okay. That's good. 286 pound man. Landing on his knees. No big deal. Does it even matter to you? But was it a big deal? The first time you got to win a fight like because kind of the first few seasons, you're almost a villain. So you're not allowed to win fights but after a while when tennis becomes, you know, part of the main cast And hence you and Dylan become part of the good guys too. So now every fight you're in your fighting D. Jen's was that a big deal to you? Oh yeah. That's a big deal. Is awesome. Finally, we get to win some, I am not getting my ass handed to me. That was awesome. Very good. Somebody asked what would you like to see for your character on? Like, I mean you're already pitched your ideal accent / Letterkenny kind of episode. But is there Thing personally you wouldn't mind seeing from your character. Oh, I don't know. I think what I they kind of let me do what I sometimes want because like the one season like can I just cut the sleeves off my damn shirt? Because I feel like that's what I would do, right? And they're always like open to those ideas with my character. I am like, I wouldn't mind seeing him like, get into, like, a riff with Slash and be like, all right, I am gonna try and go hang out with like. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, the farm. Boys are like just jump from Group 2 group to like, and it's like in the end like /. I miss you. I love you. I nice. I love it. Very cool. Yeah, are like, I said, our co-host Matt isn't here. So I am going to ask you the question. He usually asks and that would be you know what's it like what is it? What's it like to you to be part of this show? That's kind of cult classic that, you know, such a big kind of Canadian show. It's, it's an amazing feeling. Again, like I said, it's it feels like, you know, you're young. You're going to that first summer camp and then you're seeing all your friends there and it's just it's nothing but joy and fun, and I am like, that's all I can say is like it's a great, it was a great, it's a great feeling to be part. Art of it and everything, you know, I am always happy to be on set. Yeah, very cool. Do you know, I mean, is there anything is told us about either season 11 or plans for season 12? Anything. Here's the thing, I don't like to read all the scripts and everything I just like to read my part. Sure. And then I save it for when it comes out and then I watch it. Oh yeah, I am not. Yeah, not even looking for specific details before. Like, is it? Have you heard anything about season 12? Is it coming? You know. Or can you even say that don't get yourself in trouble? Yeah, I can't really say. That's what? Yeah. Okay, that's really say. I don't want to get myself in trouble. No sir. I don't wanna get in trouble, but you already got in trouble stealing this hat. Yes, gonna say I love the hot. Yeah, yeah. Well, one secret. I mean, it isn't a secret but Billy let it slip that you are on the crew for Shore Z Now Shore. Z first two episodes. Dropped last Week here in Canada, they're not on the states yet, so we're not going to spoil anything but without spoiling anything. What was that like can you talk like? You know, what are you looking forward to with that? I am just looking forward to the whole bunch of new characters you're going to be bringing in. And this whole it. They're all funny and hilarious. It's the same Pace as Letterkenny but it's like hockey. Yeah and it shows made for the boys who love hockey and the girls who love hockey and everyone who loves hockey and It's just us what this is? Yeah, but I personally am so excited for that show because when I first started watching Letterkenny or the first time I saw, I saw it. I thought it was a hockey show. I thought I was like, you know, a small town show about a bunch of hockey players and then I, and then it wasn't that it was a part of it, but it wasn't that at all. And, you know, so I have to wait, what, ten seasons and now we're Here. So I am super excited about it. Oh yeah. Ricky you haven't watched any of them? Yeah I have watched the first episode because I wasn't sure if we're allowed to watch the second one. Yes, okay. Well just so you know, Canyon I have watched the first two episodes already so you're yeah, we should have done that. Yes, we should have. I couldn't f****** wait. It was so good. It was so good. The one thing that was driving me insane about working on. That was Slow motion shots. We were getting right. I like 60 frames per second because I had I handle all the data. Okay, that's a lot of data, and I am just like everything I am doing like what the f*** just slow motion again? You're not sick, you're not sitting there shooting a scene sweating that you're going to run out of memory, are you? No. Okay again I am pretty good at calculating like okay they're durable they're probably going to shoot about an hour and a half. We're only going to need these size cards, right? We're going to need to like, again, that's like my job is this data management and doing the color for the show. Nice. Very good. Well, I mean those are all the questions we have for you. But if you, if you don't mind, I would like to hit you with some speed questions. Just to kind of get to know you really well. All right, here we go. These are designed to for you to ask, you know, answer really quickly off the cuff. Don't think about how you're engaged. Here we go. Bradley's coffee or tea? The coffee Tim's were Starbucks. Okay, cats are, I think we know the answer to this one but cats or dogs. If your life was made into a movie who would play you, The big dude from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Oh boy, yeah, I am drawing a blank on that, but that's a good one. Okay, it, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you could, if you could have dinner with anyone Dead or Alive, who would it be? Oh, s***. The tough question. Yeah, I only ask that I would say, prince. I don't know why. I would love to a dinner me, Prince. Absolutely, I would to, that's amazing. Like, I guess you're a music fan, are you? Oh, yeah. Yeah, guitarist. No, no, no II. Can't I can't put instrument. I just like, love listening to music and sure, absolutely, yeah, best vacation Hawaii. Oh, nice, I love to go to Hawaii. When was that? That was I think 2017. 2018 before all hell broke loose very good before all hell broke loose. Yeah. Window or aisle seat window, really? Yeah, we're the same size and I can't sit by the window I need to have the aisle because this is a man that appreciates flight. I live receive flight to. I wish I could sit by the window, but it's just too cramped for me. Hey, I like to see what I am going to hit before I die. Okay, what Is the uh, no. He's Frozen again, we're gonna get him back. Damn, you! You Lon? We're Frozen again? Yeah, we're not back yet. Come on plane. Where you show their Victor? Oh well, this is the f****** s***. Yeah. Is Canada. Kind of see it. Anyway, this is such great podcasting. Are we going? Are we going to get Bradley back? I don't know if we're going to get him back. I think somebody shot down the Starling satellite. Oh no. We may have to edit. No I will not edit, we need to Vamp until he comes back. The I will tell you a story about flight while we're waiting for Bradley. All right. So I so that you know free you don't have to sit and wallow it's okay. He will hopefully log back at ya. You don't have to feel sit in a cramp seed. All you have to do is pay like an extra 30 bucks and then get one of those seats in the emergency exit. And yeah, There's an almost never available in almost every available and then that's because you're not on the ball. And you're not, you're booking to fight too late. Yeah. Or you're not selecting your seats right away? Yeah. You know, leaving it up to chance. Whenever I do try to go to do that, and then they get taken, and then I get on the plane and I see who took them, and it's always the shortest f****** people on the plane that take those goddamn seats. I am back, don't, don't hate the player anyway. Nice to be back. We got to curse Elon Musk out one last time so that's alright. Bradley. I know 145 bucks a month. Wow, the heli Lon. That's crazy. You could buy Twitter. Yeah, that's right. That's right for the privilege of uncertainty. All right. Where were we? Okay oh beer wine or liquor beer? Yeah good and if you could be someone else for it oh no. Sorry early bird or night owl. Night Owl. Yeah, yeah, me too. And if you could be someone else for a day, who would it be? Don't say that guy from One Flew Over. The we saw him figured out who he is. You can just you can say, Elon Musk. If you f******, I would say Thorpe yersin, just, so I can lift 1,000 pounds. All right, sounds good. And one last thing I see, Think secret something, no one knows. Now this could be something interesting about you or just a general fact that, you know, most people don't know. I am awkward. This is well you wouldn't know it from this interview. You have been great so far. So that's a hard question. I don't know whether I would be able to come up with something on that one. I mean, James, Lucid Lipton, iced. It evolved his guests didn't. Yeah. But I feel like that show is heavily edited. Yeah, that's a thinker. Yeah, it is a thinker. It's all good Bradley. If anything pops. Into your head. You're more than welcome to. So Victor Tanya do you guys have any other questions for Bradley? Am I putting you guys on the spot now? I don't know, it's been such an Insight insightful conversation. I am just looking forward to kind of checking out on Vimeo. Your movie because I am definitely going to check that out. So really just for myself I just really appreciate you making the time for us. I think that's really cool of you and you know your aesthetic down-to-earth and you know hopefully we can chat again. Whew. But really just looking forward to seeing you more on screen. I want to see more of you guys and so, hopefully kisses listening, and he's going to hear your pitch. Yes, awesome. I hope so, and I am trying to get out there more. I am trying to get out there more on other shows like, yeah, I auditioned for a couple other Disney Plus shows, so I am just very cool cat was gonna, you know what? I didn't ask that question. So, I mean there's been a lot more content, a lot more indigenous content, you know? No. With reservation dogs. The popularity that show with the way. Letterkenny now Shore Z is representing up here. I mean are you seeing more? Okay. Are you seeing more opportunity there for indigenous actors? Oh yeah. Like there's another show called mother footfalls. I believe with Ed Helms. And oh, yeah, yeah, Michael gray eyes. Dio also is on that track is the going to be on that show. Also, and then Yellowstone and then there's another When that comes out called outer range, which actually has Morning Star in it from Dolly incredible 25th year, Mitzi bear claw. Yeah, very cool. And I guess the be part to that question, do you resent having to only go for those roles? Are? What would you like? I mean obviously it would be nice to one day for you to just as an actor to go out for any role regardless of whether it's for an indigenous person or not, right? Oh God. My dream role. I would want to be like I wanted to always Be Bane and like a fat man. Oh yeah. So or like yeah, like I am doing like I do powerlifting in a bit, but I am like, I want to get big and then I am like oh I would always like to have like a native Bane or something or be in a Batman like show. At least this as a villain or two characters, right? That doesn't really have to be like, oh, he's native. I am just like, no, no, just let me can a villain or something? Yeah, yeah, character. Well, they're shooting reach her up here. So maybe you can be like a Reacher villain. I do that maybe Buckle, that would be awesome. Yeah, well I guess it's shoot a lot of a creature. Jack Reacher is beating the s*** out of me. So what you're saying is your dream, the Pinnacle of success for your career, is to one day beaten, get beaten to a pulp by Jack Reacher. Yeah.
