We've had some really fun interviews in the last few weeks. We'll see we had Burke Kazeban. We had Speaker 2
uh-uh Speaker 1
Keegan Long. Who did we have before? Brad, Brad Miller. He was, yeah, three great interviews. I think Brad's dropped yesterday.

See, guys, I'm actually I'm saving episodes now so that we have some Thursday's, we're worth the recordings because it I don't know if we're gonna be available for the next few Thursdays. Speaker 2
So And the takeover crew, they've been, like, in full swing. It's, like, summer hits for us, and they are like, alright. Like, we're ready to to to jump in. Speaker 1
Yeah. They they You've Speaker 2
been phenomenal. The the zero. Speaker 1
Episode zero. Speaker 2
Episode zero zero review. That was phenomenal. That, that was great. And your interview, dude. Wow. Yeah. Speaker 1
We were listening to it on our way here because Speaker 0
you hadn't heard it yet. Speaker 2
I've been listening to it between meetings and I've had quite a few lately. So, yeah, I've just been plugging them in where I can. Speaker 3
It's a bit of a fog when you're in it. Speaker 0
You don't even remember too much. Speaker 1
No. You should listen back to it. It's actually a Speaker 0
quick It's Speaker 2
really, really good. Really good. Really well done. Yeah. For sure. Speaker 1
Matt. How have you been? I'm good. Thank you for having us Speaker 0
here, buddy. Thanks for coming. You've got Speaker 1
a really nice place. Speaker 0
This is this is thank you. I'm I I didn't get the path done. I'm I'm really upset about that. So I apologize for the dirt, everyone. It's, if had it been wet, would have been worse. Speaker 1
It would have been muddy, but it Speaker 0
was great. It's okay. Yes, sir. We we Speaker 1
we got lucky with the weather. It was supposed to rain. Speaker 0
And it was supposed to be like forty degrees. I mean, it's Speaker 1
been pretty fucking hot. Speaker 0
We got pretty lucky. And and it's been it's been honestly, it's been a rough couple weeks. We had some big ass vet bills Again. Oh, no. Moose, which you guys have all met and he's been lovely. Speaker 1
Snight. I'll bring all over. Speaker 0
I will be I'll be I'll be honest. I was how he hasn't met this many new people at once, so I wasn't sure, but he's been pretty great with everyone. So it's great. But no, he tripped in basically tore his Duclaw -- What? -- a couple weeks ago. Ouch. So we had to go and take him into the vet. I think I've talked before. We take him to the vet we have to put him under. He will not let anyone touch him. So He's Speaker 1
a big dog. There's no way. Speaker 0
Yeah. You can't control him. He's super paranoid to be in touch. So already, you've got a three hundred dollar cost just to even look at the dog, and then you add up everything else. So That was fun, and then our AC went on us, right before this heat wave. Oh, no. So I learned a hell of a lot about ACs in Speaker 1
twenty four hours. Speaker 0
Oh, that's right. Speaker 1
You posted a pic did that work? No. Speaker 0
Are you Speaker 1
able to know? No. No. Speaker 0
That's why we had to have it fixed. Okay. I thought I solved. And actually, I'll be honest when the guy came, he was important. I told him all the things he did. He was he's I mean, he appeared impressed. I don't know if he actually was Speaker 1
but You're you're paying him. Of course, he's gonna compress. Speaker 0
That's all the things I would have done. So I felt like I was on the right track, but we had to replace the whole coil. So that was a pain in the ass. So We needed I needed a win, and so far this night is my win. And I'm excited that everyone's here. And it's kind of fun that there's just so many panelists as there is guests. It's like, It's a stair down. Speaker 1
One to one. Yeah. Speaker 0
It's a it's a stair down, but I love it. And, we've eaten well, and the weather's hold note. And you guys don't look comfortable, squeezed on that couch, but Speaker 1
I got the chair. I'm very comfortable. Speaker 2
So we're good. Yeah. You got the chair away from Victor Speaker 1
because when Speaker 2
the train comes. Speaker 1
Yeah. Speaker 2
I'm not I'm I'm ducking. I'm gonna duck They could put his plate Speaker 1
of chips on the seat where our guests Speaker 0
He came with a plate of chips to the podcast. Unbelievable. Speaker 1
Oh, so speaking of chips, Of course, we had to get some of these. So these are all dressed lathes, the ones that they use in the episode, which are great. But I Speaker 0
gotta say Speaker 1
my my favorite Can Speaker 2
you show my camera too? Speaker 1
Version of chip of all dressed chip is actually the ruffled chip. I think these are better. But, they're really good. And earlier, we're mowing down on what are what do Speaker 0
they call it? KFC original recipe. Speaker 1
KFC original recipe ruffles, and we oh, we're we're getting the oh, yeah. Speaker 0
Oh, here. Speaker 6
Thanks, Gordon. Speaker 5
Thanks. So I Speaker 1
don't know if these are available in the States so let's let's hear what the audience thinks of these. They've all had some. What do you guys think? Speaker 0
Fig news. Yeah. Speaker 1
So not great. Sorry Ruffles. I guess we're not getting that, that we're not getting that sponsorship from Ruffles. Like, at what point did Speaker 0
they go doesn't taste like it, but let's still call it that. Yeah. Like, come on. Speaker 1
I feel like I had a similar flavor like that when they tried like fries and gravy or something. You know? It's very peppery. It's very Speaker 0
Very peppery. Speaker 2
We go so hardcore with the spicy stuff though now that that was refreshing because it was like, oh, I don't have to take an ass that after eating. Speaker 0
That's okay. Speaker 1
Fair enough. Speaker 3
You make a good Speaker 0
point there. Speaker 1
Yeah. So, I mean, been fun. Like, I was on last week. So not as it hasn't been as long as you guys, been being on the podcast. Had a lot of fun with the takeover team. This week's just been busy with work and getting ready for tonight. Yeah, we're we we got lucky because it was supposed to be raining right now. And it looks like the thunderstorms have been pushed out a couple hours. So, we were lucky to get this in. We were hoping for some, you know, guests to come on, like, some Mother Kenny cast members and stuff. Unfortunately, it being midsummer, everyone very politely said sorry, but we had plans. I mean, some of them sounded like they would have come if it could have, but, they, yeah, it was just too too much to ask and too little. Speaker 0
They all seemed to have fair reasons. Speaker 1
Yes. Exactly. I feel like if we do this, if we try doing this in, like, February, well, the the Weatherwood suck, but, I think people might Oh, Speaker 2
big deck with a with a bomb fire. Speaker 0
Yeah. Well, there's a fire pit Speaker 1
right there. We could, like, have snow and fire and Speaker 0
and Oh, Speaker 2
we could do the maple, maple, dippy things with the in the snow? Speaker 1
The the sir, the Speaker 2
The syrup. Oh, we're Speaker 1
doing a selfie from this. Speaker 2
Mid mid selling? Speaker 0
Yeah. Because, Speaker 2
this is good. Speaker 1
Chad, Chad, on live stream says, Matt, your deck isn't that big, so Matt needed to show the the extent of that we're actually sitting on half the deck. There's a whole other half on the other side there where we had our, dinner and it was porch. It was provided by who. Speaker 0
Rui's. Speaker 6
Rui's. I Speaker 0
don't know. Just Rui's Barbecue. Rui's Barbecue. Gotta to Rui's Barbecue. Speaker 1
Delicious Portuguese chicken, you know, we're available for sponsorship if you wanna Victor. How have you been? Speaker 3
So first of all, Matt Speaker 0
was using a wide angle lens on that shot. Speaker 1
Second, well, when taking a dick pic, you you might wanna do that. Speaker 0
Especially when you're taking my dick, big, you need the wide angle. Speaker 3
I'll remember that. So second, he's got the, to go along with his, big deck. He's got Speaker 7
a little baby bullet, that passes through his backyard. Every twenty minutes Speaker 0
or so. It's a train. We're waiting. We're waiting. It'll come. Speaker 1
It'll come. Yeah. Speaker 0
I hope so. Speaker 3
So that's really exciting. And that's it's actually Speaker 7
a lot closer than I thought it would be. Speaker 0
I told you. I said, literally, I could almost touch the thing. No one believed me. Well, you could. He's got a little gate. Speaker 3
He's got a little gate. Why Speaker 0
is everything little, right? Speaker 2
Little gate. Baby bullet. Speaker 0
Well, it is. Bringing the big energy. Speaker 2
Big deck, little everything else. Speaker 3
Balance out the force. Speaker 0
It's all perfectly sized. Speaker 3
For Chad, we got about we need we need to bring balance to the force. Anyway, how I have, first of all, the ruffles. So, let's see. Their bags are smaller. Their prices are higher and their flavors have diminished. So it doesn't even matter what flavor you're talking about. It's not Speaker 7
like it was back the eighties. Speaker 1
What does the peanut gallery think of that? It's Miriam looks very confused. Speaker 2
In the same Speaker 3
And and and and KFC? Come on. If you didn't know it was KFC, you would probably set its regular flavor. Speaker 0
No. Not rolling. No. You wanna set high on spice. Speaker 3
It's barely Speaker 1
Victor, your taste buds are broken. Speaker 0
It's pepper for days. Speaker 3
Yeah. And you're dressed as the, best flavors. Speaker 0
It is. What? Regular is clearly salt. So this is it's counterpart pepper. Speaker 3
Yeah. Pepper pepper pepper, pepper salt is is is the way the song goes. Speaker 1
Okay. Anyway, how have you been? Speaker 2
I do know that. Speaker 0
Good. This is what we feel like all the time. Speaker 3
So so we've been rewatching w carapines and somatic creatures. So no no lessons to be learned from any of those episodes. Speaker 0
No. Speaker 3
It was it was really the good old days. Speaker 0
That Speaker 2
was one that wasn't the show that you learn English from? Speaker 3
I it was. It was. Speaker 1
So, yes, lessons. Speaker 3
So brought brought the nostalgia back. And I've been watching secretly a show called hijack with Adris Alba. It's like Oh, yeah. Speaker 1
I've heard about that. Speaker 0
It's like a Speaker 3
mini series. Speaker 0
Why are you watching it secretly? Speaker 3
Well, because nobody else is interested. Speaker 0
Have you given them a chance? If you did it secretly, how do you even know? Speaker 2
Now you're telling people. It's okay. Speaker 3
I know I know people aren't interested in watching airplane disaster shows. I like it. Anyway, so I recommend it. If you're Ager Salba fans, then, you know, you might like it. Speaker 1
But is it, is it a drama, or is it, a documentary? Speaker 3
No. No drama. Speaker 1
Okay. Because we so airplane disaster drama. Speaker 3
Yeah. Yeah. It's like a hijacking. Sure. And then you're watching it Speaker 0
Yeah. Speaker 1
You've lost Tanya, but I mean, I'm interested. Yeah. I'm I'm an idris Alba fan. So Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. No. So go for it. Speaker 3
Anyway, so there you go. Aside from that, I don't know what else to say. Speaker 1
For once you have your speechless, which is great. So I mean, we just had dinner. I think we great. Now, it'd be a great time to have a little bit of coffee. Right? It's it's kinda yours. Here we go. Speaker 0
So embarrassing. Speaker 1
So great. Speaker 2
This one's Speaker 0
good. Oh, Speaker 1
Hey, Alexander. You work here now? Speaker 0
It's a man who go to sleep with Speaker 4
itchy butt, wake up a smelly finger. Speaker 1
Okay. Speaker 4
Welcome to diabolical coffee. My name is Alexander. Speaker 0
How might I help you? Right. I Speaker 1
was needing a coffee. Thanks. Speaker 0
Well, Speaker 4
now. At diabolical co coffee, we say we have a roast for every taste. How would you describe your taste? Speaker 1
I mean, I like coffee. Speaker 4
Grind is very important too. We have a standard grind of course, of course. Then, of course, we also have a course grind. Right. Now, some folks don't trust their grind into strangers so offer whole bean as well. For instance, these peruvian beans are, of course, from peruvian, which if memory serves me is where your family hails Speaker 1
from, well, Portugal, but Speaker 4
So that's like a taste of home. Speaker 1
What? Did you Speaker 4
know we also have espresso or as is known in Italy, espresso? Speaker 1
You know, the hand gestures don't make that right. Speaker 4
We also have k cop which keeps the coffee from getting on the outside of the pot, which I must admit I've never been Speaker 1
a fan of. The outside. Speaker 4
Now, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the produce stand. Speaker 1
Loves a bell. Speaker 4
Now for some reason, if you put that in the promo code, this guy, Eric, gives you twenty percent off your purchase, but keep that under my hat. Speaker 1
Yeah. Secret safe with me. I'm gonna go look at the diabolically awesome swag. Speaker 4
It'll give you twenty percent off of that too. Speaker 0
You just can't beat that deal. I don't care who you are. Speaker 1
Right. Thank you, Alexander. Speaker 4
Don't thank me. Thank diabolical coffee. You're right. Speaker 1
Thank you, Dioball, coffee, and Eric, for your support. Speaker 4
That guy, Eric, must be a good guy, but not very savvy if Speaker 0
he asked me, giving away twenty sent Speaker 4
left and right, all will and nilly. Speaker 1
Yes. Thank you, Eric. We're gonna skip to Twitter mentions tonight because, what we got better stuff to do, and then, talk about X. Speaker 6
X. Previously. Previously. On Letter Kenny. Speaker 1
Last week, I joined the takeover team to relisten episode zero as a fun listen back to that episode and realized just how little we knew about the show. We did nothing. And what was in store for the next three years? This week, we gather on Mac, Matt's big deck to celebrate three years at TPS. And to have a bit of a q and a with some of our guests and the d gens on the live stream. So here we go. Speaker 0

It's it's too much for Miriam. Speaker 0
You kinda have to brace yourself for that experience. Speaker 5
Yeah. I I do too because I I grew up just my parents, my brother and I and just the four of us. And when we would go to visit our family, it was a shock. Yeah. Because, I don't know if the rest of the group knows, but my, my mom She's one of sixteen, one six. Speaker 0
Holy shit. Speaker 5
And all all the siblings are married with kids. Yeah. I have like something like forty cousins. Speaker 2
Oh my god. Speaker 5
First cousin. It's not like second. Like the yeah. First You Speaker 0
know all of their names. Just wanted to check. Speaker 5
No. I I know, like, the main ones, but not not all. Speaker 0
I've got How do you how Speaker 3
do you how do you how do Speaker 0
you get to be the main one? Speaker 1
I've got my favorite. Speaker 5
See. I'm like, Speaker 0
you know, I got my best answer to that question. Speaker 3
What's the criteria? Speaker 5
Have we get along? Speaker 2
Term? What's the filter Speaker 0
on that? Speaker 1
The main Speaker 5
They're not messed up and, you know, are in trouble with the law. I have a few of those too, but Speaker 1
Well, it's Columbia after all. Speaker 5
Yeah. Exactly. Speaker 3
Fantastic. Speaker 5
Yeah. Yeah. No. They they they don't they don't tune into Speaker 0
his podcast. Speaker 5
So no. I'm I'm safe saying that. So Speaker 1
Are you kidding? If you got your family to listen to the podcast, we would literally double our listenership. So why don't you, there Speaker 0
might be eight people at the next big deck energy. Speaker 5
Yes. We would have to translate it, though. Speaker 0
So that's all good. Speaker 2
Does everyone live, like, everywhere or Speaker 0
sometimes somewhere? No. Speaker 5
That that's the that's your thing. You'll live within minutes of each other. Speaker 2
Wow. Speaker 5
They all stayed in the same town. Never went anywhere. I only have one cousin that moved away. She lives in the states. And she grew up in the States. So you barely speak Spanish. Speaker 1
Right. So you're the cousin that got that got out and and did something with himself. Speaker 0
It sounds like a Columbia Speaker 3
set home. Speaker 5
I did. My dad did. Okay. But but yeah. Speaker 1
Oh, your your parents go. Speaker 2
So where is your dad in the pecking order of things? Is he, like, oldest or youngest or middle? Speaker 1
Those is my mom. Speaker 2
Oh, your mom. Sorry. Speaker 5
The second oldest. Speaker 1
Second oldest. Speaker 2
Your mom is the second. Speaker 0
Oh, oh, Speaker 1
okay. She she raised a lot of those -- Yes. Speaker 0
-- those siblings. Speaker 5
In fact, one of my aunts considers my mom pretty much like a mother. Yeah. She raised her. Speaker 1
That's crazy. Speaker 5
She took care of all the kids growing up because, yeah, that's my my grandmother couldn't handle sixteen kids by herself. Speaker 0
So Speaker 1
when you came along, is it? Yeah. Yeah. Like, you were basically, like, our do you have siblings? Speaker 5
My brother, but he passed away in ninety six. Okay. So it it was just the the three of us really after he passed away. Speaker 1
But you know how new parents They're usually, like, their first kid. They're really protective and they do everything for them. And the second kid, they're a little less so and then the third kid can can just go jump off a bridge. Like, you were, I mean, you're kind of kid number seventeen or whatever that she's had to raise, right? Like, even though you're Speaker 5
Yeah. Yeah. So, my, my mom was very adamant when she got married, that She didn't wear any math out. Speaker 1
Well, she's number sixteen. Speaker 5
He's got a sibling. After she had my brother, she said that's it. I'm done. Speaker 1
And if Speaker 5
you're not gonna do anything about it, I'm gonna have a hysterectomy. Speaker 1
Wow. And she did. Holy. Yeah. Because Speaker 5
yeah. I'm not trusting a contraception for Speaker 0
this. Wow. Speaker 5
Wow. That's how traumatized she was by raising your siblings. So Speaker 1
Yeah. I can imagine. Wow. Yeah. Speaker 5
So that's my origin story. Speaker 1
Yes. Well, thank you you Speaker 3
know, hippo colonies do the same thing, but they don't have his direct No. Speaker 0
You didn't. Oh. Oh, Speaker 5
yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have hippos in Columbia. Yes. Thanks to Pablo Escobar. Speaker 3
Well, they're starting to disperse them now. Speaker 5
Yeah. It went from two hippos to now they have sixty. Speaker 0
Sorry. He brought hippos? Speaker 5
Yeah. He had a suit at his place. Speaker 0
I did not know that. Speaker 5
Full on suit. Speaker 0
See, he's a humanitarian. Speaker 5
Pippos. He had two. Speaker 1
Is that how he would smuggle drugs in and out of the country? Settle down. Pippos butt. Speaker 5
That was just for entertainment to to show guests and and people. And so, well, when he got killed and all his assets were you know, seized by the government. Yeah. Speaker 1
They Speaker 5
didn't know what to do with the Speaker 1
hip hop. Speaker 5
They just released them into the jungle. Into the jungle. Yeah. Wow. And they multiplied and they multiplied I'd Speaker 1
like to see that movie, the cocaine hippo movie. That would Speaker 3
be amazing. Speaker 0
Are you sure the US tried the same thing with Tigers. Many hills are Speaker 2
in Columbia then now? Speaker 5
They went from two to sixty. Speaker 1
Well, the same thing happened the same thing happened in Newfoundland with, with mousse. Remember? They import they had no answer. Pronounced me Speaker 0
when there's more of Speaker 1
them. No. Speaker 5
Okay. I I don't wanna monopolize my time. Speaker 2
Oh, no. I have more Speaker 0
questions for Speaker 2
you. Sorry. Speaker 1
Okay. I learned one one valuable thing in Newfoundland, so I wanna share it now. Newfoundland has no like squirrels or raccoons or any kind Speaker 2
of like Snakes. No snakes. That was amazing. Speaker 1
None of those animals are indigenous to Newfoundland because it's an island and it's very rocky. No deer or anything like that. Yeah. So they brought over two moose And now, I think they said there's one moose for every four people in Newfoundland. Like, Jesus, they Speaker 2
yeah. Even even more than that. It was it was Speaker 0
an incredible number. Speaker 1
One for every four people. Yeah. So I mean, that's an incredible number. There's how many people in Newfoundland. So, yeah, and there is no protection. Speaker 2
So if your mom was Some loose meat. Oh, man. If your mom was the second, so she was the second oldest. So do you get all the time? Like, you know so and so so and so's cousin and the fur like, do you get this, like, long stretch of, like, you should know who this person is because of this? And you're like, I have no idea. Yes. Okay. I wanted to know if that was Speaker 0
just like a four Speaker 2
piece thing. No. Because your mom will call you and say, like, You know the person that, like, the the apartment. Speaker 0
But she Speaker 1
does that to me, Speaker 0
and I don't know who she talks to. Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 5
Were you born here in Canada? Speaker 1
Yeah. I was born Speaker 5
here. Yeah. Speaker 1
And and my like your immediate family, I've got a relatively small family for Portuguese as well. Yeah. Like it's just me and my brother. Speaker 5
Okay. Speaker 1
But yeah, we have an extended family Speaker 5
extended family back home. Yeah. It's the same with us. Yeah, no. They they they constantly my mom constantly mentions, oh, you remember that person granted. I was born in Columbia, but we moved to Venezuela when I was five. Speaker 1
Yeah. Speaker 5
So my recollection of Columbia is just from the seventies. Speaker 1
Right. Speaker 5
And I even have a different accent. I don't have a Colombian accent. So colombians can tell right away. Speaker 0
So what is your accent? Speaker 5
It's it's supposed to be Venezuela. Speaker 0
Oh, okay. Speaker 5
But now because I talk to my parents all the time. Speaker 1
Mhmm. Speaker 5
And all the Venezuelan people that I used to know when I I came here, they all have kids now. They have families. They moved away. I don't get together. With them. So my accent is now changing slowly, but surely into Columbia. Speaker 3
I was gonna say it's Bolivian. Speaker 2
How long were you in Venice, Venezuela then for? Speaker 5
Until I came here to Canada. So until I was twenty Speaker 1
Oh, wow. Speaker 5
July twenty eight. Was twenty eight, twenty eight when it came to Canada. Speaker 2
Twenty. Okay. Speaker 5
And fifty nine. Speaker 0
Miriam, was it the accent? Well, let's Speaker 1
get Mary Alright. Speaker 0
That that played a part. Speaker 1
Well, pass the the Mike on to Speaker 0
Mary, and we'll ask her all those questions. I won't play Speaker 1
a little bit of match cam order. I Speaker 0
I'm getting a little excited here Speaker 1

Hi, Hal. Speaker 1
How are you? Speaker 2
I'm good. Speaker 1
I I still love that you picked us over Mike. Anyway, let's move on. Take that, Mike. It's take this in the way that it's meant to be. It's good to see you upright because normally when you when you join us, you guys are Speaker 2

I had no idea what you meant there. Speaker 2
Wow. I was like, and what? Speaker 0
They're usually Speaker 1
they're usually in bed. Speaker 2
Yes. That's true. That's true. Speaker 1
When I told Miriam that we were gonna record this at, well, at originally six o'clock, she got all excited. That's not my bedtime. She was like, I can actually come. Here you are. Speaker 2
Yeah. I'm here. Speaker 1

You're coming up right. Yes. I was thinking, t m o x's, I've always been up Like, what are you talking about? Speaker 1
I mean, for for our our podcast Speaker 0
for sure. Speaker 1
So yeah, let's let me, Tanya, ask her the question. Was it the accent? Speaker 2
Was it the accent? Speaker 0
Was it the accent? Speaker 1
Or is it the hat? Or the sexy calves? These guy had Speaker 0
a fedora once. I didn't pull it Speaker 1
off the same Speaker 0
way he does. He's got nice caps. Speaker 2
Oh, was it? So there was no accent. Oh. Right? Because we were emailing chatting. Yeah. So it wasn't the accent till we met up for the Speaker 8
first time. Speaker 3
It wasn't putting accents on a letter? No. Okay. Speaker 0
No. So did you know that he had an accent? Speaker 2
No. I did not. Speaker 0
Did you suspect he had an accent? Speaker 2
No. I can't even remember. Were you in Venezuela? Speaker 1
His name was Juan. So I mean Speaker 3
Yeah. Speaker 2
But I mean, was he in Venezuela at the time? No. No. No. No. Oh, okay. So he's already in Toronto. Oh, Okay. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 2
I know. Speaker 0
We're we're getting into layers of wannaware. Speaker 3
Before you met him for the first time in person, had he already told you that he had an accent? Speaker 2
No. But, I mean, I think we couldn't Speaker 0
go Speaker 2
on our first date because you were going to Miami to meet up with your parents. But I maybe I was a bit of clueless. I didn't even think about him having a accent. Speaker 3
Have you spoken over the phone? Nope. So you the first time you saw him was the first time you heard him. Wow. And so what was that experience like? Speaker 2
I don't Was Speaker 3
there a surprise? Speaker 0
I guess. Thank you. Speaker 2
No. Because his accent's pretty subtle. At least to me, I don't owe to you guys. Speaker 0
I love you. Speaker 2
You can Speaker 0
see beyond it. Speaker 2
Although I do make fun of them. Speaker 0
Yeah. Speaker 2
Because Well, yes, because the color jello. Speaker 0
Right. Every white. Speaker 2
And he goes to Joga. Speaker 1
So when you're eating banana flavored jello, do you call it jello jello? Speaker 0
I just got the finger. Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. I'm gonna get so canceled after this this episode. Speaker 2
Good thing. No one's listening. Speaker 1
I know right. No one's listening. Speaker 2
Anyway. So inappropriate. Speaker 1
I've been derailed. Thank you. Thank you for coming. You guys about you. Yes. Let's just talk to you. Speaker 2
Yep? Not so bad. Just came off a week where I had to be a network. Speaker 0
Yeah. Speaker 2
And now the rest of the summer, It's up to me. Work from home or going to work. That's good. Speaker 0
Well, what do you Speaker 1
I mean, you're it's off, like, it's not in class right now. What are you doing? Speaker 2
Testing out experiments, getting stuff ready for the fall. So Speaker 1
Does your department do like actual like science for like research and stuff like that? Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. Okay. Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. Yeah. But we don't have anything to do with that. No? So I don't know if you saw, like, I was asking Michelle a question or telling Speaker 0
Yeah. Oh, yes. One is still okay. You understood our concern on that one. Right? Speaker 2
It's DNA or, you know, nothing like that. Speaker 0
We were looking out for you, bud. Speaker 2
You didn't you didn't think the the picture was real. Speaker 1
Yeah. So a little background. I think we need to explain to the listeners. So on the discord, Miriam sends this cryptic message to Michelle, who, if you guys, remember, Michelle, he she's, she teaches forensic science in in, at Lawrence. So she teaches, you know, how to bury bodies, and so She's Speaker 0
Dexter. Yeah. Speaker 1
She's Dexter. Speaker 3
Doesn't teach how to bury bodies. Speaker 2
Hell, dude. Is that what you thought she did? Speaker 0
Are you are you saying she wouldn't know how to get rid of a body? Speaker 2
Yeah. Not how to murder and not get caught? Speaker 3
Yeah. We all learned that on breaking bad anyway. Yeah. Speaker 1
So anyway, Miriam sends out this cryptic message on discord saying, hey, Michelle, I'm sending you an email about something. And we all got very concerned. We all got very concerned for WAN. And we didn't know whether WAN was okay. As so so then she posted a picture of one sitting at his desk smiling and saying, well, that could have been that could have been taken any time. You know, he's he needs to be holding a a newspaper. Speaker 2
Conspiracy. And Speaker 1
he should be holding a a a newspaper in front of Speaker 0
him today's date. Speaker 2
Oh my god. Speaker 0
Really? And she did. Like, we got our approval life. Speaker 2
Recycling bag and with today's paper. Speaker 1
You're probably the only one I know who Speaker 0
would still have a newspaper. I think that's what I thought. Speaker 2
Hey, listen. I love the library. Speaker 1
Yeah. That's it. Speaker 2
I love mine paper. Speaker 0
Yes. We got our proof of light. Speaker 1
Yeah. So we were very very relieved one that you were okay and that she wasn't trying to figure out how Speaker 0

Like, is it long enough though? I was gonna go a little bit longer. But Speaker 2
No. You know what? Too long is sometimes not very Speaker 6
Okay. Speaker 0
Okay. It's off footing. Right? Yeah. It can be a little intimidating. Right. Yeah. Of Speaker 3
putting, but not off jello. Speaker 1
If if it's jello, you might wanna see it talking. Speaker 0
If it's jello, let it mellow. Speaker 1
Thank you. Let's get Linda Speaker 0

Oh, no. Speaker 1
There have been worse things spelt on my deck. Matt, you're is is Jen Jen's not coming out Speaker 0

Just Before Speaker 8

love that you have that line. Just like put it there. That's where it is. Speaker 1
Yeah. No. There's no pre interviews here. No. We're gonna ask you right first question, what'd you think of Matt's Big Duck? Speaker 8
It was okay. Speaker 2
I appreciate the can bigger. Speaker 0
The candid. Bigger. That's okay. Speaker 1
Well, I mean, you know, there's like multi level ones. You can do. Yeah. I guess Speaker 0

Yeah. Feel like this is soft. Speaker 0
This is a step in the game. Speaker 1
It's pine. Yeah. It's pine. Speaker 0
Can't afford the oak. Speaker 1
Have you Speaker 2
been be harder? Not bad. Speaker 1
Not bad. Now you guys went on a big trip in June. Speaker 8
We sure did. Yes. Paris and Amsterdam It was amazing. Speaker 1
Yeah. You survived? Speaker 8
Yes. Definitely. Speaker 1
Yeah. More importantly, Victor survived. Get him kill him. Speaker 0
You know, Speaker 3
and and we went on a bullet train. Yes. Speaker 0
You know, Speaker 1
I was gonna ask about that. Speaker 8
Train trip and a boat trip. So it was great. We had a wonderful time. Speaker 0
How many modes of transportation did you take in this trip? Speaker 2
Well, we did playing. Speaker 3
In the in the multiple digits? Speaker 8
Yes. Playing in the multiple digits, Speaker 2
trains, and boat. So it was great. Speaker 1
That's right. You had a, that harrowing story of where were you guys in in Germany? Couldn't get out of Germany? Speaker 3
We couldn't get out of Frankfurt. Frankford. Yeah. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1
You you spent what? Two days there or something like that and you were only supposed to go like Speaker 2
two days, but Speaker 8
it was a long time and there were a lot of naps, taken where you're not supposed to sleep. Right. We just couldn't keep our eyes open. Speaker 3
I can give, people tours of that airport Yeah. Forward. Speaker 1
If you if you like, Tom Hanks in that movie, what what airport was he strangled? Speaker 0
Terminal. All the terminals in New York -- Yeah. -- moving to my favorite movie. Speaker 3
Great movie. And I I love airports. I love to go to airports early. So to spend lots of time there and explore Speaker 8
have to be the first ones there. Speaker 3
Yes. But in Frankfurt, we were also the last ones out. Speaker 1
I bet. I mean, yeah, it sounded horrible. I mean, fine. You've finally got your destination. Speaker 8
You know? We had some good books to read and, you know, we passed the time, you know, eating and having snacks. Speaker 0
So Speaker 3
It made the rest of the vacation seem listful. Speaker 2
Yeah. It's it's it's part of the story though, right? Just like the RV breaking down. It's part of the story. It's the Speaker 1
laugh about it now. For sure. Yeah. But at the time, when Speaker 0
it was like One of those, you'll laugh later situations. Exactly. Yeah. It's always the best. Yeah. You can't find the humor at the moment later on, but that was awesome. Speaker 2
This. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 8
But we have another vacation coming. I don't know if Victor mentioned. Yeah. Speaker 1
You're going up to the zoo. Speaker 8
Going to the zoo. Yeah. Speaker 1
Amazing. Speaker 8
Yep. We're doing that, in the fall. See the beautiful trees change color and take a train ride there while we're at it. Speaker 3
And they have their own skids downtown that we're looking forward to to Speaker 1
to the students kids. Yeah. Speaker 0
Are you guys gonna fly there or drive? Yes. Linda, how are you going to fly there or drive? Victor? Speaker 3
We're flying. But we're flying from Billy Bishop. So it's gonna be a small plane. And so that's gonna be exciting because you feel those a lot more. And, yeah, we're gonna fly into the zoo spend. I think five days. Speaker 8
Five days. Speaker 3
Five days there. So one day is gonna be devoted to the train trip. And the rest of the time we're gonna do a little do a little cruise, do some hiking, and, discover the locals. Speaker 2
Does the train rock Apparently, Speaker 0
Roberta Bondar's from Susse Marie? Speaker 2
Is there like a rocky? Like, because you slept Speaker 0
I don't know. I'm passing on information. Speaker 2
Like the click, click, click, click, click, of the Speaker 3
In my life ever slept on the train. Like, why would Oh, Speaker 2
in going when you went across Canada, you had to have slept. No. Speaker 8
We didn't go across Canada. Speaker 3
No. We went on a rocky mountaineer, which was from, Vancouver to banff. Speaker 2
Oh, I thought you did the one across Canada to to Vancouver. Speaker 8
And that's just a day train. So you take the train in the daytime. And then at night time, they drop you off at a hotel where you sleep, and then you meet again early in the morning. Speaker 0
Was the train role right into the hotel? Speaker 8
It's nearby. Yeah. Speaker 0
Wouldn't that be way better? Like, it just pulls right in. Yes. Yes. It's where the board gets it. Speaker 3
It's very close. Like, and like everything is first class. You never worry about your bags. The bags wait for you in the room. You get on a bus. It's it's I recommend it to anybody with that Rocky Montaineer trip, one of the best trips Speaker 0
-- Speaker 8
Amazing. Yes. Even if you're not into trains. It's really about the scenery scenery Speaker 0
-- Speaker 3
The experience. Speaker 0
-- Speaker 8
engineering, about how they built the rails, drilled through mountains. Speaker 3
And the first class experience. Speaker 2
Yes. Speaker 3
Dining and meeting new people while you eat and stuff like that. It's I don't know. It's Have Speaker 0
you ever gone on like a riverboat, cruise? Life for me. Speaker 1
I feel like there would Speaker 0
be something you enjoy fantasy. Speaker 8
That sounds interesting. Speaker 1
Yeah. Like, go down, visit Trace and then get on to Mississippi and do a river, like, a travel boat then. Speaker 3
Yeah. We've we've we've done it. We've done it when we were in New Orleans. Oh, okay. Speaker 1
There you go. Speaker 3
So, yeah. We fed, alligators with marshmallows and stupid toys. Speaker 0
Oh, and hot dogs? Because that's what's good for them is what the guy told us. Speaker 2
And they tried to bring Speaker 1
them up Speaker 8
so that tourists can see them. Speaker 5
Right. Speaker 8
So they toss them treats like marshmallows, something that often easy for them to eat. So they come they, you know, they see the marshmallows getting thrown out and then they come around. Speaker 0
Yeah. We called the metal there. Like, is that good for them to go, yeah. Oh, yeah. Perfectly healthy for them. We're like they're fucking marshmallows. Like, I'm Canadian. We're a little smarter than that. Yeah. Speaker 1
Tobias, Victory says that in Detroit, the airport has a train in it. Did you know that? Speaker 3
Like a shuttle train that takes you from one terminal to another. Speaker 1
He does he doesn't Speaker 3
would imagine that's what he's talking about. Yeah. Because I I Speaker 1
have I don't I mean, most airports have train people. Speaker 3
Yeah. Because I've been yeah. Like the Florida, Orlando airport is the same. Yeah. You you take trains from terminal to terminal. So, but yeah, good to buy us. Let's go. Speaker 1
Well, thank you for joining us. It's great to see you again, and good luck with this guy here on another long trip. I don't know how you do. You've got the patience of the saint. I gotta say. Speaker 8
You know what? He's amazing. So You joke. Speaker 1
You have to say that because he said all the those amazing things about you during his interview. Speaker 0
So Well, Speaker 8

You guys are, it's a special thing and it's very genuine and I fucking love seeing it. And I'm so happy for the both you all of your years Speaker 3

I have a question for you, Victor. So Like, any Speaker 0
Like, greatness face. I know. Speaker 2
Victor. Speaker 3
Forty forty two. Speaker 2
Any, like That's Speaker 0
a good answer. Speaker 2
If you enjoy going to, like, restaurants that are in trains, like those, like, stand alone. There's a a lot of them now. Speaker 3
Yeah. I've never actually been. I that's something. It just It we've never been in this scenario where it was available for us. Speaker 2
Every time I see one, I think of you. Speaker 3
Yeah. No. I'd love to do it. I I actually I have kind of these aspirations of living in a train. You know, these people have turned trains into houses, but you always Speaker 2
have the tiny houses. Speaker 3
But it's always like in the middle of nowhere. Right. Speaker 1
You saw that video I sent you, the guy in Toronto who built a a subway in his basement. Speaker 3
Yes. Yeah. I thought that was brilliant. Yeah. Speaker 1
You haven't looked him up yet. Have you? Speaker 0
No. Was it a subway Speaker 1
or a plane? Was Speaker 0
there someone who made it turn to planes? Speaker 2
Oh, Speaker 0
okay. I'll stop. Is that a trade guard? What? What's that? Speaker 1
She's she's jumped in the shed. Somebody living in like a a row house in Toronto in his basement basically turned his entire basement into Speaker 2
a subway. Speaker 1
A Speaker 6
subway. A subway. Speaker 1
Station with a subway car, and you can, like, go in it and sit in it. And, yeah, it's bizarre. And it's in somewhere in in the city. I'll if I can find that video again, I'll I'll share that to you next week. Speaker 2
Was that Netflix? It was watching, and that's where what? It was -- It was one of those like Speaker 0
-- Speaker 1
Extreme homes kind of extras. Speaker 0
Yeah. No. Speaker 5
No. That's great. Speaker 1
No. Do we wanna talk about no. Let let's let's go into some of these questions. Speaker 2
So I Speaker 1
asked s r d gens on the on on on on the discord for if they had any questions for us and our buddy, Adrian here. So question for Fridays b d e pod. That's big deck energy. Speaker 0
What do you respect? Speaker 1
What do your respective kids think of you hosting a podcast? So we'll go around the horn. First of all, Matt, I mean, we met Caden today. He probably doesn't understand Speaker 0
what's going on. Speaker 1
What about your other two boys? Speaker 0
My youngest obviously doesn't have a clue. He saw people. He's he was actually pretty pretty friendly tonight. He's been hit miss lately. He's been kind of a dick. But he said goodnight. So that was a big step for him. He doesn't care. Speaker 1
Yeah. What about, Speaker 0
my middle guy also doesn't care. He's ten. Doesn't have a clue. My older guy thinks it's pretty cool. Speaker 1
Okay. Speaker 0
He obviously has no idea what letter Kenny is. One day, I'll show it to him, but He, he understands the concept. They've listened to podcasts in school. They they're very familiar. So he thinks it's pretty cool, and I I share a lot of information with him. I'll show him random videos and things like that. I I think he thinks it's cool. So I'm gonna keep doing it for now until he doesn't know. Speaker 1
Well, that is, hence, just a second question, is the universe perpetually uncool because their parents like it. So No. Speaker 0
No. Yeah. Why why? Why would I know? Speaker 1
Well, your kids, like, Speaker 0
what's question? Speaker 1
Or do your kids think that Speaker 0
the Speaker 1
universe is on Well, Speaker 0
they don't know. Yeah. I mean, this is I'm gonna let you guys answer that one better because you have you have kids that are old enough to watch this. Mine are not. I I I would hope that they think that this is pretty awesome. I mean, I've I've shown them the pictures and the videos. And I've said, you know, this is the show we we love, and this is a show we celebrate. And then this is the guy who does all this, and I got to meet him, and they were like, oh, that's badass. I I think I think I said bad ass, probably not him, but, you know, I think I'm I think I'm accepted amongst the eldest. Speaker 2
So we were excited that you got to me now? Speaker 0
They were. They were. Of course. Have you not met the podfather? Speaker 1
Apparently, yes. Oh, they don't know about this. Stop that. Hey. Speaker 2
Very good. Speaker 0
I didn't get a hair. Speaker 1
Alright. Well, I'll let you answer about our kids because you talk to them more than I do. I don't Speaker 0
Parenting one zero Speaker 2
one. You're terrible. I it's my fear. It's it's my fear that, they, like, obviously, Speaker 1
didn't wanna bring them tonight because she didn't wanna censor herself. Speaker 0
I I actually I I totally thought they were all coming. I said your kid's coming, and that's exactly what I'll say. It's like, no. Tania Yeah. Tanya doesn't wanna have to censor herself. Speaker 2
Yeah. Well, because there are moments. No. There are moments that things come out of my marriage that shouldn't. Speaker 0
She only nine? Speaker 1
Yes. Yeah. Speaker 0
Oh, well, yeah. She sound old. Speaker 2
No. She's not having that. Speaker 3
She's already. Speaker 1
I'm glad you think so. Speaker 2
The sixteen year old, is very well aware of what we do. And, no and I have, like Speaker 4
This isn't a swinger party or Speaker 2
anything like No. But I just still, we talk about, like, ostriches having sex. Or, or sorry, people having sex with ostriches. Speaker 0
Pretty sure that was true. You talk about that with your kids? Speaker 2
No. On the show. I wouldn't want him to hear that. Speaker 3
Although we don't really talk about Speaker 2
that. It's not it's not as much him because I'm very open with my children and very honest with them and have them honest with me. It's more having them talk about it with their friends and and and and his friends. Yeah. You know. Speaker 0
Yeah. But but there's Speaker 3
a difference between sixteen and nine. Obviously, with with -- Yeah. Speaker 0
-- Speaker 3
with with a nine year old, you're it's it's Speaker 1
So here's the thing. Speaker 3
And and and Speaker 1
I agree with Tanya in in this sense. So my my son who's sixteen, whenever he has friends over, she hides all the TPS stuff. Yeah. Because She doesn't want any of his buddies to look what is this? Listen to it and then suddenly stumble upon an episode where Tanya's talking about ostrich is fucking or or the d being distracted by the d, and then he's gotta hear this. Speaker 0
Not. Because Speaker 1
then he's gotta hear it at school from his buddies. Your mom likes the d, like, Speaker 3
A chances of them actually taking time to listen to those episodes are slim to none. Speaker 0
I I would thought you were gonna say more concerned about getting that call from the principal. Like, in conversation about your friends fucking an ostrich. He goes Speaker 1
to a Catholic school, so that could be that too. Yeah. Speaker 6
There's a Speaker 0
lot worse things happening in the Catholic school system. Speaker 2
And and I never and, like, what my memory of things that I've said are probably more that are probably worse than what I've actually said. I don't know. I have no idea. Speaker 3
You haven't ever said anything too bad. Speaker 0
You have been a saint Speaker 2
Right? Sure. Speaker 1
What do you guys think on the live stream? Has can't give you the same? Speaker 2
There there I know that there's been moments where some I've said something and it and I just wouldn't want his friends to hear something and and then just harass him. Speaker 0
In in your defense, most of those times, you've been more looking for clarification and education on topics rather than taking slight at something. Speaker 2
Okay. The show itself talks about some pretty like, you know, docking, soaking. We didn't there was, Speaker 0
like There was, Speaker 2
the the the acronym. And remember there was an acronym that I was trying to figure out. And, I don't even remember. Speaker 0
Hold on. But you just HD education. PHD, Speaker 1
pretty huge deal. Speaker 3
You know, I'm sure, sued Johansom Speaker 0
talked about all those things. Oh, quick side note. I met the granddaughter of Sujohansen a few weeks ago. Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. Speaker 0
It was very shortly after they announced her obviously her death, very sad. I was up in my, actually, my tenants, cottage, and the neighbors came down. We got talking. And she's like, that was my grandmother. I'm like, no fucking way. And I don't know. I don't know. Apparently, her husband had brought it up, and and it just circled in. But and I and I had I'm like, well, obviously I'm very sorry about your loss. And she started laughing. She's like, my grandmother was amazing. Yeah. And and she was. The genuine feeling is I know we're getting derailed here a bit, but I said, what were those conversations she like? She's like, oh, nothing was off off topic at the dinner table. And it was so honest and genuine and our family had some of the most hilarious conversations you can imagine. I'm like, I'm not I'm not doubting that in the slightest, but it was a really kinda cool interaction to have someone and the love and you could see how just delighted she was to know what a legend her grandmother was. Speaker 1
Imagine having sue sue you Hansen is your grandma. Speaker 2
Yeah. Amazing. Sorry. Speaker 0
It was really cool. Back back Speaker 3
to you. You're robbing your your Owen's friends' kids of that experience. Right? Speaker 2
Of a me being Sujohansen? Speaker 3
Of some education. Speaker 0
On a caliber. Speaker 1
So on on topic, Trace has a feeling that some of Owen's friends might already think about you. Speaker 2
Oh, ew. Speaker 0
Oh, snap. Speaker 2
You know what? It was hell hilarious, trace. It was I don't wanna Speaker 0
say it, but Speaker 2
So, pandemic lifts a little bit and and we have, and and our son has his buddies over. And He our son was mortified because one of his friends had a t shirt on that said, I love I like hot moms. And our son was mortified. He's like, oh my god. Did you see the t shirt? I'm like, no, I wasn't paying attention to t shirt. And had like a fedora hat on and the shirt on and was just it was hilarious. It was hilarious. Speaker 1
Who is fedoras? I know. So weird. Speaker 0
I tried it once. I tried it once. It didn't work. Speaker 1
Just I wish, my head's too big. Fedoras looks stupid on me. Speaker 2
He would have to get fitted. He would have to go to the old country. It did to get fitted for that. Speaker 1
Victor, what do your kids think about the all this? Because you've got you've got one kid who's who's decidedly more cool than the other. So what does Natalie think Speaker 0
about this? Speaker 3
She's too busy. She she's got her own life. You know, she's now living on living with with some roommates. Sure. She just finished school. She's got three songs in Spotify now. Yeah. That Speaker 1
sounds great. Speaker 3
She just started started an internship now and and some cool company. So That's Speaker 1
what I mean. She's cool. Speaker 3
She's cool, and she's doesn't have really time to have an opinion about her podcast. Speaker 0
But has she ever I'm sure she's made some comment Speaker 3
Not just she just thinks it's cool, but I can guarantee you she's never listened to Speaker 0
a single episode, and I'm okay with that. Yeah. Speaker 3
And it's Also, it's context, right? She doesn't watch the show. She doesn't care. She doesn't know about the show. She doesn't care about the show. She doesn't even have the means to watch the Speaker 0
show if she wanted to. So, Speaker 7
well, she Speaker 3
it's not like they have crave. Speaker 7
Like, you know, they they don't, you know, they don't don't have these, to Speaker 2
purchase the, Speaker 7
a fancy, you know, privileged lifestyles as, roommate Speaker 0
What is he talking your What do Speaker 1
you mean? Speaker 0
And my I don't feel privileged because I can There are a bunch of the they're they're scraping They're Speaker 2
on college funds. They're Speaker 0
eating a Speaker 2
craft dinner. Speaker 0
What they're sharing someone else's account. Yeah. Probably. I had Netflix up until that went away. More than Netflix since. Speaker 1
They're pirating. Right? They're getting it from the library. Speaker 3
I'm I'm trying to not encourage priorities. Right? But anyway And Speaker 1
William, what about William? Speaker 3
So William thinks it it is cool So he he didn't really watch Letter Kenny with us, but he watched obviously Shoresy and he loves it. Sure. And it's funny that, you know, listening back to the episode zero that, are friends broke down, which by the way did an incredible job. That was a great episode. Speaker 1
You listen to it. Yeah. Speaker 3
Yeah. One thing that we talked about it was having William on the show. We never actually did. Speaker 1
That's right. Yeah. That was one of the early ideas. Speaker 3
And and you know what? It wouldn't have made sense because he never really watched Letter Kenny, but now that we're doing Shoresy, and he's actually watched it. He's looking forward to season two. He's kinda was kinda thought it was really cool that we were we're we're gonna be in, episode three. And Yeah. Speaker 1
So may when we review episode three, we we can have William on to talk to. Speaker 3
Yeah. Yeah. So we'll definitely need to do that. And, I think he would be great. A great guest on the show. Speaker 1
Alright. Any chance, they'll guest or better yet do a takeover. Oh, for the the our kids. Yeah. No. Well, we just talked about maybe William, maybe, Victor's son. Speaker 0
Hey, what is that question? Speaker 1
A a butter kid. It's just a on to the previous question where it gets. Speaker 0
Riley might be might be into it if that's ever a Speaker 1
thing. Riley? Yeah. The oldest guy. Yeah. Speaker 0
He wouldn't have a clue, but It'd be funny to watch him. Our love. Thumbulls way through Speaker 3
it. Our Speaker 2
our youngest watches all of those, like, YouTube, like, people. And and there was a camp actually this summer that was, like, how to become a YouTuber. And I'm and she wants to take it. And I'm like, the hell no. You're not taking Speaker 0
So that's my middle guy. He's had no experience, but he's wanna be a YouTuber when a girl. Like, what are you gonna do? He's no answer to that question. Speaker 3
You shouldn't say no Speaker 1
to anyone. Speaker 3
I didn't say no. Speaker 0
What are you going to do? And he had no answer. Speaker 3
You know, I'll tell you, like my kids are now at that age where they're trying to figure out actually what they're gonna do with their life. And COVID really did a lot to stifle them. Right? Yeah. And I'm like at this, if if William came, like he just, actually applied and got into new programs at Sedanka College decided to take a take a u-turn. And and and he's really looking forward to that. But he went through a few months of just like a torture not knowing what the heck he wanted to do. Sure. If if if they wanna try something, whether it's YouTube or anything else, just if if they're if there's any Iota of interest in anything, just just push them. Speaker 2
Our youngest what wanted to do a podcast. Well, like, when when she was figuring out what it was that we were doing, she was probably like eight eight or whatever, maybe last year. And she was like, I wanna do a podcast. And I was like, okay. Well, you know, talk to dad. And, maybe you can do a podcast with your friends and you can talk about the things that are are going on at at grade three right now or or like doing an unboxing or whatever. Speaker 1
That sounds like so much fun. Speaker 2
Yeah. I know. And that's that's kind of the reaction that she got from dad. Wasn't or no. It's it's it's Speaker 3
a gateway. It's a gateway to I agree. Speaker 0
I'd love it Speaker 1
if they did it, but they would need me to be there to help. And then I'd have to sit there Speaker 0
and listen. Speaker 2
I think it would be great. Speaker 1
That's right. Speaker 3
I think just like when I have to, you know, do the science experiments Speaker 0
with my Speaker 3
kids and stuff like that. You gotta sometimes, you know, takes an active role. Speaker 2
That's your skill set. That's a role. Speaker 1
Yes. I've already been called an absentee father here by a Chad. Thank you, Chad. Matt, Speaker 0
you did leave. Chad, you did leave this whole discussion with you talk to the kids more. Speaker 2
You, yeah, you did. Speaker 3
Just saying. Speaker 2
And and and somebody else teaches them, drums and and bass. Speaker 1
That's right. Speaker 8
That's right. Speaker 0
But, Speaker 1
no, but then the girl comes home and shows me what her The girl. Speaker 0
The girl. The girl. Speaker 1
Yeah. Kitting her two comes home and see. Number two. It shows me shit kid. What what the teacher no. Not to she's actually the favorite right now. Speaker 0
And, Everyone likes taking the number two. Speaker 1
Anyway, we're gonna move on. Jeff asked, is Matt's deck as big as he claims? That's already been talked about and covered. Yes. Speaker 0
Oh, we don't have to breeze over that. Speaker 3
Yeah. Thanks for coming to the party. Speaker 2
I'm, oh, let's take guesses on the measurement. I'm gonna say, do you know measurement is? I think before we start guessing. Speaker 1
Twenty feet. Twenty by ten. Right? Twenty by Speaker 3
I think our deck's a little bigger Speaker 0
and harder. Speaker 1
Twenty feet by ten. Speaker 0
It is twenty I think twenty two by ten o one n, but fourteen on the other end. It tapers. Speaker 1
Does it? Yeah. Speaker 0
Oh, cool. Yeah. My my yard's weird shaped. Speaker 1
Jeff, also asked, can can we title this episode of fuss on the back deck? That that would Well, great idea. I've already named it big deck Energy, but if I'd seen that, I would have totally done that because that's a great end. Question from Cassie. Question for each host to answer. What songs have not been featured in the universe, but make you think of it. If the hosts were to put together a fan made soundtrack for Letter Kennedy or Shoresy, what songs would they put on it? Let's start with Victor. Speaker 0
That could Which extreme song. Speaker 2
Wow. That was like a big song. Speaker 1
Because I knew I knew it was gonna be extreme, and the first song he says is Speaker 3
that cadence dance. Speaker 1
Which is extreme. It's so fucking predictable. Speaker 3
It's one of their best songs ever. And it's Speaker 0
Who's extreme again? There's Speaker 2
Oh, man. You're getting other languages going in there. Speaker 0
I love what he yells at me in what language is that? He's so mad. He won't even look over here. Speaker 2
You know what, though? The light is shining in your eyes. So when you were talking about a stream, your eyes kinda danced a little bit, and it got exciting. Speaker 3
It is exciting. I feel I feel like I feel like I talked more about a stream on our on my podcast than I did about my own music. Speaker 1
Yeah. You didn't talk about your own music at all during your interview. Speaker 3
Oh, okay. Speaker 0
Actually, no. Give me a give me a Madello, please. Speaker 3
That's Cassie's fault. Speaker 1
Oh, you mean Casey? Speaker 3
I I said that I'm perfect. Speaker 1
I'm sure. Okay. So cool. Are there any questions from the live audience here anyone on live stream, if you have a question, please ask it. But why don't you start what about you? Speaker 0
So I'm terrible with names of songs, but I definitely I mean, I'll take that. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Juan. Speaker 1
We should do this all the time. Speaker 0
We get Speaker 1
we get pretty straight. Listen. This is Speaker 0
like when we were in suddbury, people Speaker 1
laughing at our jokes, look, some Ma'am's gonna pour wine in here. Speaker 0
Hold on a second. Where where are we filling? Speaker 2
Oh, so crazy. Thank you so much. Speaker 0
Hold up from the bottom. You gotta hold Speaker 2
up that's what that I wish you the thumbprint Speaker 5
is for. Speaker 0
Thank you. Thank you. Speaker 2
Thank you. Speaker 3
I thought that was the creelux. Speaker 0
Isn't that what that's for? The worm. She's holding it by Speaker 1
the the chef. You you you prefer when she holds it by the place? Okay. Speaker 0
Is I didn't I will drink any beer you put in my well, that's not true. That's not true. Speaker 2
Get us. Speaker 0
What are we at? What's it like? Oh, about music. So I'm terrible with names of songs. I love I fucking love music every name. Oh, that's Speaker 2
plain. Name that fine. Speaker 0
But, no, and you know, I listened to games like that on the Raydell of Thomas, like, name that song. And I can sing along to most of them, but I can never tell you name. But there are a couple random ones that I just love. They're not Canadian, which I feel like fits the tune, but one is let the drummer kick by citizen cope. Is a is a is a is a fantastic rhythm to it. I think we'd find a place in there. There's another one that's totally musical called Tadao. By Masego and f j k, I think it is. And it's one of those weird it's it's it's totally instrumental. There's a wicked music video line of these guys just Thank you so much Speaker 3
for that. I think she's the one that wrote the very Harry Potter. Speaker 0
No. No. It's it's two guys. And and the music video online for these guys, the song called Tada, TA d o w. I just love watching the video. You watched them basically create this song. I just think it'd be sounding fun and cool in the background of one of the scenes. I'll put it on later after we record if you want. It's, but yeah, I I find these random ones to stick with me, and that's one of them for sure. So it's not mainstream. I mean, and and that citizen cope song, let the drummer kick is one of my favorite songs it was featured in, the movie acceptance. Do you remember that? It was like a comedy years ago with, like, Justin Long and a few others, ridiculous, but It's a that's where I got it from. I take a lot of weird songs that I find from scenes and movies. And, That's one that stuck with me. So that's a couple songs I call it. Speaker 1
Can you think of any? Speaker 2
I want I wanna hear like a Dolo song. Speaker 0
Well, there's a bunch of shiny on Shoresy. Yeah. I'm sure Speaker 2
on Shoresy or Shoresy. Mhmm. Speaker 1
Yeah. There's been a few and there's gonna be more in Speaker 3
the news. A quick A quick solo reference. So my son was playing NHL sixteen the other day. Is he in it? He's in it. Speaker 1
Yeah. Speaker 3
He's in it. He's in it. His picture's in it. Speaker 0
In what? That's awesome. Speaker 3
NHL sixteen. So, and we're in NHL twenty three right now. Mhmm. Twenty four is coming out soon. But NHL sixteen has Dolo in the game. Speaker 1
Oh, that's cool. Speaker 0
I totally misheard the beginning of Speaker 3
that story. And I wonder if he knows And I I would imagine that he probably doesn't know because it's something that No. Speaker 2
He no. Speaker 3
Because the deal is with NHLPA. Which is the player's association, not with each individual player. Speaker 0
Right. So Speaker 3
he may not even know that he's in Speaker 2
There would be like an email or a message or a letter, whatever. Maybe. Sense. Maybe. Speaker 0
If he's Speaker 3
not a gamer, then he wouldn't he wouldn't even know. Right? Speaker 2
Alright. Send send him a DM. Speaker 3
Yeah. We'll need to ask him. Speaker 1
Aaron's got a really cool question here. Erin scenario. What does you, Con, look like for you? Meetups, panels, cosplay, etcetera. And how does it feel when people share the okay. We'll we'll do that one first and I'll I'll do part two after. Speaker 3
Like you can't Speaker 1
if we're Speaker 0
gonna do Speaker 3
it. In Canada? Speaker 0
Oh, no. No. Why would you think that? Speaker 2
The universe con. Oh. Like a comic con. Speaker 0
So if Speaker 1
there's on a convention of Letter Kenny and Shoresy and and, you know, if we were involved in it, Speaker 0
what what would What would Speaker 2
Why would we be involved? Speaker 1
Let's not Speaker 0
wear a Speaker 1
podcast about Speaker 0
it. Alright. We would absolutely have a booth. Speaker 2
Shut up. That's weird. Speaker 0
Why? Why? Speaker 3
We'd have a booth. We'd have a booth. Speaker 2
Why would we have a booth? Speaker 3
No. Our booth would be a produce stand. Speaker 0
May maybe we would be the panelist interviewing people on -- Yeah. -- on the stage. Speaker 1
Yeah. That'd be great. Speaker 2
That would be so cool. Speaker 0
We could be the interviewers of the cast that they came up. Speaker 2
That'd be fun. That's Speaker 0
so does that make more sense to you? Speaker 2
That'd be fun. Speaker 0
Oh, my god. Speaker 3
So what's the question about the potatoes? Speaker 2
Potatoes. It's not Yukon. Speaker 0
The you Do you Speaker 1
guys wanna start throwing things at him? Speaker 0
Feel free? This is not gold. No. This is Get it, Yukon gold? Speaker 1
Oh, oh, man. Speaker 2
Don't. You're encouraging him. Stop it worked. Speaker 1
I love that idea. I love the idea that we'd be there, like, to interview the the people. That'd be kind Speaker 0
of fun. Speaker 1
Fucking guy. Like, you're encouraging this behavior. Okay. Part part two of a variance question here was how does it feel? Speaker 2
We even answer it? I think it was like a lot of potatoes being Speaker 1
thrown around. Speaker 0
What Speaker 1
okay. What would a convention look like for for Letter Kenny and Shorsey people, like your dream convention. Like, first of all, where would it be up in sudbury? Would it be, I guess, Speaker 2
of February. Speaker 1
That makes sense to be in sudbury. Right? Speaker 0
I I think it would be an outdoor convention because most of them are indoors. I think this one would would make sense outdoors. Speaker 3
I think we'd be playing Shinnie. Speaker 1
Yeah. I was about to say that there should be like a ball hockey tournament or or a hockey tournament. Yeah. Speaker 0
That'd be it. There would definitely be bars multiple. Mhmm. Three. Speaker 1
What about being one, two, and three, an anti beauty pageant, you know, like they did in in the international women's day? Speaker 2
Yeah. No. You're think, oh, well, universe. Okay. Yeah. Speaker 3
Anything else? What's part two? Speaker 1
Alright. Part two is sorry. It's really small. Speaker 0
That's my one. Speaker 1
How does it feel when people share the positive impact you have had in their lives? Your celebrities in their circle. In our circles. What do your coworkers know how cool you are? No. Absolutely not. Speaker 0
Not a fucking chance. I try. I try to tell Speaker 1
them, but they don't give a shit. Yeah, it's of course, it's cool. Whenever we hear somebody say, you know, we helped them through a pandemic or or they just look forward to logging in on Thursday nights. We got a bunch of that on Discord today saying, you know, when we were on last night for an after party, they're like, oh, are we gonna get together and do an after party? Cause they it's it's part of their week now. They they look forward to it. So that's really cool. And, Speaker 2
And that it's continued even as things are opening up. And, you know, your world is is been expanded yet again. Right? That, this is this is still something that, comes back to them. Speaker 0
No. No. No. No. No. What I mean by that is it's like, I mean, make comments like we help some people through pandemic, people look out. No. I mean, I'm glad. I'm glad, but the exact opposite is true. Yeah. In the fact that, like, when the pandemic hit, when you gave me the call saying, do you wanna do this? And I said, yes, it was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. Speaker 2
This was our lifeline. Speaker 0
I never would have dreamed that we would have come to this this far, it's something I genuinely look forward to. And I know you tell me I cry and you're not wrong because I get very emotional. Speaker 1
Oh, you heard that, did you? Oh, yeah. Speaker 0
I heard. I loved his interview. I if you haven't listened to Victor's interview yet, it is I don't I don't even I yeah. It's by far the best of the four We all knew. It's amazing. Yeah. But Truly. It's It's been pretty it's been a wild journey. And so I'm glad, and I'm so grateful that people have connected with us, and we build this community And Victor, when you talked about the community being some of the best parts, I hundred percent agree. I mean, I never would have envisioned anything like this. Al seemed to have a plan the whole time. Didn't know about that. But it's I'm I'm so grateful and thankful always am. And I and I hope it can continue to find ways to make this go as long as it can because this is the greatest part of my week, most weeks. And things. I know I talked, even like a year ago, you know, I was I have my struggles. Everyone has a struggle ten. You've talked about yours. This is a great release a place to be open, to be vulnerable, to have fun, and laugh, and hang out with people that are amazing. And people, I never would have crossed paths with. Without this show. So it's just as much reciprocated, in every sense that it could be. So Yeah. Speaker 1
Well, put. Jeff here asked if, Tanya and I have used that has played that Ted Lasso board game yet. It was just a fly. Speaker 2

Walk out. Speaker 1
Okay. We're at the ninety minute mark. Do we have any other questions or any ground to cover You have any questions over here in the peanut gallery? Speaker 2
I I just wanna reflect. The the the way that Matt did. I have a very vivid memory of of being in lockdown and being, working from home and and literally having my desk underneath the stairs And the only thing that separated your, office from my office was the the door. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Speaker 2
And hearing everything. And I remember you listening back to the podcast. And was very early on. And, I remember you having a conversation with Matt because you guys worked together, and you guys like had a an office meeting, but it really was just talking about the podcast. And you guys were like Speaker 1
We're not on the same team. So if we're talking each other at work. Speaker 0
It's about Speaker 1
the bottom. And for Speaker 0
the record, we have never worked on the same team. Never. Speaker 2
And and I think it was like a reference that, like, we've had, like, seven people have listened or nine people have listened. Speaker 0
Oh, never mind. I thought there was a train coming. Speaker 2
Damn it. It was like it was like seven or nine people had listened. And It's been a long time. And and I remember sitting there and and like counting on my fingers. Okay. There's like us and then like Linda maybe. And then like trying to figure out who the seven or nine people were. And then that, like, fast forward to then hearing somebody reference, that they were listening to us on the way to work. Speaker 0
I tripped you out. Speaker 2
That tripped me out. Huge. I'm like, whoa, wait a second. Somebody's listening to our conversation. I'm like, yeah. That was weird. And and now, and then, and now it's like fast forward again. It's like, this just keeps on growing and growing and growing. So grateful, like the takeover team and like the the family. It's it's become Speaker 1
the trips to suubbery. Speaker 2
The trips to like, which was never gonna happen. Never gonna do that. But it Speaker 0
was Over Speaker 1
your dead body. Speaker 2
Shitter. Get off the putt. That's what I say. So I I said, You know, if we're gonna do this, let's do it all the way. And and, you know, spreadsheets here we come, and we went, and, and we did it twice, not just once. And now, like, Speaker 1
probably going back there in the fall when Shoresy's shooting again. Speaker 2
And and and and I I dare say I've already been saying, okay, We need to do another road trip, and it needs to be down south, and we need to go visit our friends. And I'm like, that needs to be. Speaker 1
So folks, you know, our listeners in the US, you have no idea what what a big deal this is for Tanya to say this because she hasn't wanted it across that border since Speaker 2
Oh, no. Speaker 1
Since the beginning of COVID. And then Oh, no. The fact that she's even entertaining the idea of going down. Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. Don't think that this is a thing yet because, like, Speaker 1
It'll take you some time to warm Speaker 2
up to the idea. Like, let it blossom because, yeah, that's gonna take some time to grow. Speaker 1
But We'll have to find a Speaker 3
Your way too long Trump will get elected. Speaker 0
Oh, shit. We don't say such horrible things. Speaker 1
Oh, so Speaker 0
GPS US road trip one? Yeah. I Speaker 1
mean, we'll Speaker 2
have to Speaker 1
so on this live stream, what state is a good kind of well, actually, we have a world traveler gourd here. What state would be a good one to be, like, where people can, you know, drive in from I'm thinking like Indianapolis or something. You know, like, I know it's a horrible state, but in terms of then people from No. Speaker 0

I think we should go to Cincinnati. Speaker 0
I'd go to Cincinnati. I mean, Speaker 3
I'd do Cincinnati. You know, Feona and Fritz Speaker 1

Everything is safe as long as you're just out of trouble. Speaker 1

for it. Speaker 2
Chad can get there. Speaker 1
So Chicago's a good candidate. Speaker 2
No. But I I've been to Speaker 3
