TPS207: Get'em Focused (Shoresy)

Episode Details

Transcript

The gang at The Produce Stand are joined by their buddy Gabe to discuss episode 1 of season 2 of Shoresy: Get'em Focused.

Opening Poem (By Tate & Webb)

Ok, S’yeahso. OK. Here’s the story.

The last time that we all saw Shoresy,

The boys came up just short of glory,

In the last game with the Soo.

Nat had told them, they had to win,

Time to fold the team and pack it in,

And never drop the puck again,

For the Bulldogs dressed in blue.

But as Nat and Shoresy talked that night,

Something wasn’t sitting right,

To fold this team so full of fight,

Who couldn’t stand to lose.

The last four games were something strange,

Parts were added, rearranged,

The Bulldogs they were being changed,

Into something new.

Shoresy’s plan was simple enough,

Veteran presence bringing it rough,

Line full of natives, redundantly tough,

So now everybody knew.

Now they’re different than the team they had been,

They’re running’em up and filling’em in,

And never. Ever. Losing again,

That’s what they have to do.

Back to the start, where it went off the track,

They poked the bear and the bear poked back,

But the Blueberry Bulldogs are on the attack,

For Shoresy season two.

Speaker 7

Anyway, I've been I've been chatting

Speaker 1

with Gabe, and and I've been looking forward to meeting him because he's not on the discord. He's he was kind of a, you know, a mystery to me until today. Until we we finally got to know you a little bit better, and we're gonna get to know even better because this is your first time on the produce stand. Pots, I have to ask you all the standard questions. First, let's talk about, we'll we'll forget about the sad news. We'll talk about that later, but first, let's talk about when and where did you discover letter Kenny.

Speaker 7

So, Hulu. I'm an, so since I live in, New York in, the US, I discovered it on Hulu like, years ago, but I never got into it until I saw Shoresy. And then I started really getting into it, and I loved the writing and the intros and how clever it was. Yeah. And just, you could tell that they were, like, inside jokes for that area. And then it it was, It was hilarious. So, yeah, about a couple of years ago, but then I really got into it when Shoresy came out.

Speaker 2

Why don't you just see, like,

Speaker 4

a reverse fan? Like, you started with Shoresy and went backwards to Letter.

Speaker 7

Yeah. That's crazy.

Speaker 4

I'll take it.

Speaker 1

Well, and speaking of brilliant intros, let me just say kudos up front to her buddy Trace who I I'm a yeah. I'm assuming he and Liz wrote that amazing poem. That wasn't a limerick, but, the poem at the beginning there. And,

Speaker 8

I'm blowing.

Speaker 1

Yeah. And his re read was was perfect.

Speaker 7

Yeah. Yes. Incredible.

Speaker 1

Yeah. So thank you for that.

Speaker 8

Great job, guys.

Speaker 1

You're in New York, and you discovered a letter Kenny awhile ago, but first, just shortly. When did you discover this podcast?

Speaker 7

Right after I saw Shoresy. Because I was obsessed with Shoresy. And then I started looking around and then Actually, I think it was your end because you didn't you guys did some interviews.

Speaker 4

Right. Yeah.

Speaker 7

Yes. Some of the cast. Yeah. And I love those. And then I started looking at the podcast a little more and I became a quick fan, of the, well, you guys had things set up and then the produce stand and the reference to Letter Kenny, and, it was all very clever and I love the dynamic. So I just

Speaker 1

came up with that.

Speaker 7

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Speaker 1

Appreciate it. So what are you doing in New York? I mean, I know you already read off your your resume there, but

Speaker 7

I said too much. I said, wait. I was like, what do I put in here? Oh, good. But I, I work, work for American Express, but a new tech for them. But I, my, I love music. And that's another thing that I love in Shores is the music is just like very different than Letter Kenny, but like, banging. And it And then Dolo, obviously, is a musician as well, the character. And, yeah, that's what I do. I have a I have a little dog here as adorable. But then I, that's that's really all I do. I don't really have much of a life outside of that, but yeah, I'm a musician more than any.

Speaker 1

So you, but you mentioned in your in your intro that you draw you're gonna be dropping some tracks soon? Like, where? Like, on Spotify?

Speaker 7

Yeah. And people say, oh, that's so cool. You must be, like, signed to a label or something. Like, now anybody can do it. Right.

Speaker 1

Well, we're on Spotify too, so you're right. Anyone could do it. But, not anyone can drop bars. So I'm, I'm, Do you I

Speaker 7

I'm I'm a rapper, but I I've I've forced myself to learn how to sing a little bit because I it's it's to get people to buy into it is always talk, but I love rhyming, and that's why I love your guys' intro too. Yeah. Because the the rhymes are great. And that's why I love writing too and rhyme schemes and cadences and flows. So but I also play instruments. So, yeah, it's like alternative hip hop, but there's like a little singing and a little melody.

Speaker 1

Speaker 8

You do that.

Speaker 7

There is.

Speaker 1

Well, welcome Gabe, and, let's get this rig rolling because this is a while since we've had one of these kinds of episodes a review and recap at this time. All work. Yeah. She was so much so excited about that. So here we go.

Speaker 2

How are you now?

Speaker 1

Tonight's lineup is gonna be Matt, Alvin, and our guest, Gabe, will have the last word. Matt, what have you been up to? Not too much. I don't think.

Speaker 2

Oh, yeah. No. It's been a bit this and that, and,

Speaker 4

a little travel.

Speaker 7

Mhmm. It's

Speaker 4

been it's been it's been wild couple of weeks. So My, my youngest just turned four. My oldest is about to turn thirteen, so that's fun. And we all went to Disney last weeks. Oh,

Speaker 1

crazy.

Speaker 4

Yeah. It was, we survived. We we When

Speaker 1

you say all, that was a that was a big group of you. Who There

Speaker 4

was eleven of us.

Speaker 8

Oh, wow.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So my cell, my my wife, my three kids, my parents, her parents, and then her sister and, fiancee, all came. So we rented a five bedroom house in Kissimy.

Speaker 8

Oh, much.

Speaker 7

And

Speaker 4

which was, which was really nice worked out great, having that sort of place to relax at night.

Speaker 8

Did it have a pool?

Speaker 4

It had a pool. It had a pool at the house, and then there was a It was a gated community. Apparently, it's really popular down there. There's all kinds of them around. And they had a separate community pool with, like, a lazy river, splat pad, arcade, all kinds of stuff with the kids. So it was great for the the pool days that we did, and then we did three chaotic days at Disney. So we did magic Kingdom, Hollywood studios, and animal kingdom. My parents in their seventies, god bless them. They trucked it out all three of those days. My youngest and wife and her parents stayed back the second day from Hollywood studios, but My older guys, we did three days back to back to back. And, it was it was intense. They were long, like, twelve hour days. We were there the moment they opened the gates, and we were there right to the bitter end all three days. And what a place, man. Like Mhmm.

Speaker 7

Even though

Speaker 4

I was trying to explain to them because look, we have Wonderland here in Ontario and outside of Toronto, which is an amusement park. Right? And it's fun. And my kids, I think, expected just another one of those, but I'm like, no. Disney's different. Like, it's They go above and beyond and every their experiences let their attractions and experiences rest less rides. Mhmm. And I think it took them a beat to catch up to that fact.

Speaker 1

Mhmm. But

Speaker 4

once they did, they just loved it. Right? The other thing, I I kinda I kinda make light of it, and and it's it's it's sad, but we also it works for advantage. So my father-in-law is handicapped. He he's he had a stroke years ago. He's paralyzed, partially paralyzed, and, you know, it that's his life. We and we always have to accommodate him, which, of course, we do. What what worked to our advantage in this trip is they have this disability program where we signed up for, but the bonus of that was anything that he could go on

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 4

We all just skyrocketed to the front of the line.

Speaker 8

Yeah. Oh my.

Speaker 1

It's just that you're going to the tower of terror, aren't you?

Speaker 4

Oh, man. So he didn't he didn't come to Hollywood too. But magic kingdom, our whole day, we just basically go on our little app and

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Schedule a ride and show up, and we go right the front of line, and which was amazing because most of the rides at Disney, when they're where it makes sense, are totally accessible. So we went on like the jungle cruise as an example.

Speaker 7

Yeah. And

Speaker 4

they had a whole separate boat that they brought up that had a wheelchair lift that came and brought him right onto the boat, which was amazing. Fantastic.

Speaker 7

Speaker 4

couple, like, it's a small world had a whole separate boat for him to go on. And I was blown away at how accessible Disney was. So that was really nice to see. So that was really fun, but I will say, and and and I'm not I'm not, he, four against Star Wars. Like, I I enjoy it, but I'm not by any means fan, but Hollywood Studios Galaxy's Edge is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. Their entire section dedicated to Star Wars, it's literally like stepping into the movies. Yeah. And their rise of the resistance ride or attraction end to end is one of the coolest things I've ever gone through. We did it twice because I'm like, that is just it's not a ride. It's an experience. Like, it's like a multi phased adventure you go through. Fighting with the rebellion and up against the I don't and I'm gonna get all the words wrong. But anyway, Chad will not

Speaker 6

chat, fuck you, man.

Speaker 7

Yeah. It's but I'm trying to

Speaker 4

I'm trying to talk it up here because it was just so surreal. The detail they put into these things and the, like, the yeah. It was it was you can't I'll never forget that that area of park.

Speaker 1

When we were there, I think they were still they're just finishing up that area of the park. So we didn't actually get to see.

Speaker 8

Or just breaking ground. One of the

Speaker 4

other one.

Speaker 1

I mean, we could see some of it.

Speaker 8

Oh, in the distance. I do remember that.

Speaker 7

It's like

Speaker 1

a wall, like, so but, yeah, it wasn't ready when we were there unfortunately, but, yeah.

Speaker 4

It was absolutely well. And the only other thing I'll call trip. That was really cool. We on our last day, we we the kids had never seen the ocean. So we, we're trying to figure out because Orlando's like dead center of the state. Yeah. So we're, like, either we go to the Gulf Coast or we go to the Atlantic side. Ultimately we decide to go to Daytona. Mhmm. And I'd never been to Daytona it looks like it had nice beach. And I thought it'd just be cool to see Daytona Beach. So we made the hour and a bit trek out from our from where we were. And the kids got to go on the ocean. There's jellyfish everywhere, which they thought were well, one of my kids was terrified of it.

Speaker 7

The

Speaker 4

older guy just thought they were cool. They're all swimming, and then we go up in this, like, pier, this wharf beside Joe's crab shack or something. And right when we go out there, there's this dude. And I swear to god, I had to do a double take. I thought it was Sanguinette for a second. I thought it was Harlan. He had just hooked, like, a four foot bull shark. Off the top of the pier.

Speaker 8

Oh my god.

Speaker 4

We're, like, settled in. There were, like, fifty of us chasing this guy around the dock watching him for forty five minutes fight this thing just to have our all of our hearts broken at the last second as the line broke as it wrapped around the pier. When they were dropping the net to try to bring him in. And we were just like, oh, he was sweating and fighting, but I swear to god, I had, like, a multiple takes. I'm like, is that Harlan? What the see fighting a shark for in daytona, but, it was really cool. And I said to my my oldest after because he looked down at two seconds. I had an even bigger shark jumped out of the water. And I'm like, dude, you were swimming right there. He goes, yeah, it's so fucking cool. He didn't say fucking. That's my embellishment, but He would he thought that was cool, but good on you, man. So they they had they had the trip of their life, man. Like, it's just were high from the moment we got there, the moment we got home. And and that that was worth it for me. Sure. Everything we did because they were just, like, Thank you. And the it was an unforgettable one. So Mhmm. Yeah. Quite adventure. Now I'm back and Amazing. It's cold. It's cold.

Speaker 1

The the folks on the live stream are are trying to figure out what Victor's background is. Isn't that Kennedy Space Center?

Speaker 4

Yeah. Cape Canaveral?

Speaker 6

Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to, influence Matt to we take them to to an actual place with an actual place where they went to space.

Speaker 4

We went on space mountain.

Speaker 6

Oh my god. You could have gone on the actual space shuttle ride, which simulates what it's like to be on the shuttle.

Speaker 1

And Why

Speaker 8

do I wanna not ridiculous, spacecraft.

Speaker 4

Space mountain.

Speaker 1

Anywho?

Speaker 4

And you know what's best

Speaker 7

to do

Speaker 8

with the question is out of out of the three, which one did you which out of the three parks, which one did you enjoy the

Speaker 4

I think it's I mean, what what I'd say, they're all amazing in their own way. Personally, I like Hollywood studio.

Speaker 8

Yeah.

Speaker 4

I like the like, there's

Speaker 1

I saw you went to the same stunt show that we went to. It was a lot of fun.

Speaker 4

We the Indiana Jones. Yeah. My my middle guy, my my my guy Reese, he went twice. So we went down to lunch, and it was now the show. Is it could we go back? So my mom took him and they and they sat through the whole, like, half hour show again because he loves it so much. And that is extremely impressive that that stunt show.

Speaker 8

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1

The the fact they do it multiple times a day, I mean, that's it's just insane.

Speaker 8

Yeah. There used to be an another stunt show, and it was, with lightning mcqueen, and it was all with the cars and stuff. I don't think they did that one did that one anymore.

Speaker 1

Speaker 8

saw it, like, back when Owen was five.

Speaker 1

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8

But, not the last time we went.

Speaker 4

My only complaint would be there's a couple rides. So the new Tron rollercoaster at Magic Kingdom, and I think the Guardians of the Galaxy one at, Epicaw, which we didn't go to, have these virtual queue arrangements. So how it works is you at seven AM, you have an opportunity to get on the virtual queue, which I was there at seven fifteen, and I missed my like, that's how fast it filled up. Yeah. And then they opened up the block again at one. So at one, I was refreshed, refreshed, refreshed, refreshed, and I got the queue right away. And I joined it, I was I was queue load one thirty eight. They were only boarding queue load sixty, which meant I didn't get a what it does is that whenever your queue load comes up, they notify you through the app saying come to the ride now. Mhmm. I didn't get that notification till seven thirty at night. So six and a half hours later.

Speaker 7

Wow.

Speaker 4

And then I got there, and I'm like, okay. I'm all excited, and then I'm like, I saw the lineup still. So I said to one of the staff. I said, so I'm here now, but, like, just, like, give me a ballpark. What's my wait time? It's like, oh, it's still an hour, hour and a half. I'm like, what the fuck is the point of the queue? Yeah. Yeah. So we we didn't have time to stick it out because it was too late. And so we missed that was the only ride I re I mean, there's lots of rides, but I really wanted to do tron, and that virtual queue just was so disappointing. Yeah.

Speaker 7

It's on the motorbike. Right? You were, like, riding. That was, yeah.

Speaker 4

Yeah. One of the one of the light cycles you ride. It looks so bad at the spring, but their virtual virtual queue is not respect of anyone's time. It's it's I think it's well intended, but it's bullshit.

Speaker 1

Alright, Matt. That was your time was done.

Speaker 4

I know.

Speaker 8

I know. I'm sorry. Matt, we're gonna have to do dinner,

Speaker 2

and I'm gonna have

Speaker 1

to, save some for next next week. And I'll be really quick with mine because I don't have anything to talk about that isn't part of news segment later, just to say been busy with work as usual. Got some good news. One, nominated for a few podcast awards for the word podcast I'm doing. So that's fun. And we'll talk about the other bit of news later in our news segment. So Victor, how have you been?

Speaker 6

Oh, I remembered the spoken word guy, Henry Rollins from the nineteen nineties.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Alright. So so, Gabe, look him up

Speaker 7

And it's great. Yeah.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's for Tanya actually spoken word, not rap. So there you go.

Speaker 8

Well, when that's what Al said. He said No.

Speaker 6

Al wasn't he was Okay.

Speaker 1

The talking when talking singer. That's when coach was was referring to M and M as a talking or

Speaker 7

a wrap.

Speaker 1

It was a joke. Alright.

Speaker 6

Anyway, Gabe, so you've got a little competition. My daughter dropped, before you spotify. She dropped two more songs. And but but the reason I'm talking about is because the first one, it's called sweetheart. If you listen, go and listen. If you listen, you'll hear pumpkins per at the beginning of the song. And at the end, And also at the beginning of the song, you you wouldn't know you have to have the inside scoop, but there's a recording of her and pumpkin blowing kisses to each other. So it's very cryptic and and and the and the song is kind of a little bit spooky, right, in time for the Halloween and stuff like that. It's anyway, it's very cool. It's not everybody's, you know, jive kind of thing, but,

Speaker 1

what's her what's her names that people can look her up? Natalie Rosalina. Rosalie, Natalie, Rosalie, on Spotify.

Speaker 6

On Spotify.

Speaker 1

And what are the tracks that she dropped?

Speaker 6

The the two tracks sweetheart and the second one, I think, a reprise because, she's using the same background, the same music.

Speaker 7

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

But a completely different, melody and singing

Speaker 1

over it.

Speaker 6

And it's just a very short kind of a thing. So altogether, she's got five songs now. And I tell her, like, one more song and just release it under us like an album. And,

Speaker 7

EP.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Exactly. And and go for it.

Speaker 3

Very

Speaker 8

cool. That's awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 1

I'm looking forward to listening to it. Haven't had a chance yet, but I will definitely listen to it.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Check it out. It's spooky.

Speaker 8

Okay. It was Halloween a couple of nights ago. So, we I was I was nominated. What was it was a back to back, actually. My daughter was, invited to a birthday party on Halloween Day. So we did a Halloween birthday party prior to Halloween trick

Speaker 7

or treating. So it was

Speaker 8

a busy, busy, busy night. All so on a school day. So, yeah, and and smack dab in the middle of the week. So that was, that was crazy. You know, I, it it it occurred to me as you were, doing the the lineup and, that we should you you guys should have gotten jacked. For, this season.

Speaker 4

I've been trying I've been trying to do

Speaker 7

the

Speaker 1

opposite, I think. And succeeding spectacularly.

Speaker 8

That would have been a lot of fun Uh-huh. For me.

Speaker 1

But,

Speaker 8

yeah, I

Speaker 6

yeah. Yeah. I'm just

Speaker 7

I'm so excited.

Speaker 2

This

Speaker 8

is homework has begun again. And, I'm, I'm excited to get into it.

Speaker 1

Alright. So let's, let's keep this rig rolling. Gabe, How have you been? You know, I mean, we've just met you, but you you mentioned in your in your intro too, but your whole families are are are actors. Like, what's that about?

Speaker 7

So, yeah, there I was born in LA, unfortunately. They're all actors, and it's, yeah, it's why I'm not an actor because they're all act

Speaker 2

Okay.

Speaker 7

You learn very quickly. But, what it's like. But, are you guys know two thousand one a space odyssey?

Speaker 1

Of course.

Speaker 6

Yeah. No. No one's heard of that.

Speaker 7

Never heard of that? A little okay, a little indie film from

Speaker 3

way back then.

Speaker 7

But no, my uncle was the, the star of that is David Bowman. And, my dad yeah. And then my dad was in, yes. I don't know if you know the movie Mac and me. It's like Yes.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7

Speaker 4

Your uncle's not, like, Adam West, is it?

Speaker 7

I need my cousin, though. So, you know, I guess, that's not good.

Speaker 1

Can you imagine?

Speaker 7

But yeah. No. So there is all, like, older actors and everything.

Speaker 4

So it's insane. Was like, because the the the and the differences between Letter Kenny and Shores, he are just but still both incredible editing. But, Yeah. No. No. So that's, so I love film and TV. And, I didn't actually get into Shoresy at first. Because I I didn't I didn't know about Letter I knew about Letter Kenny, but I didn't know choresy was connected until I because it's still a face on Hulu just the big smile with the missing tooth. Yeah. And then I finally got into it and I'm like, and then there's a whole world and then you guys. And so

Speaker 1

Speaker 8

It'll be interesting to to get your perspective on things. Then we're did you did, where there always a lot of, discussions around the family table then of of acting and this person and that person and how their day was and everything?

He was he was older, but, it was he's they used to vote every year. And he get all the screeners and everything. So every year we'd have all these debates, but who's gonna win what and things like that.

Speaker 1

That's so cool. So that

Speaker 7

was always fun.

Speaker 1

Yeah. So you got to watch some movies before, like, the release or whatever or, you know, wow.

Speaker 7

He tried to, like, pirate, like, copy, an eight mile when it came out because she was like a big M and M fan. And, didn't didn't work.

Speaker 1

No.

Speaker 7

Previously on letter Kenny.

Speaker 1

So last week, we rewatched the letter Kenny Halloween special to ODine's two. This week, we finally begin our recap and reviews of Shoresy season two with the first episode called, Getim Focus. So, Matt, have you done your homework?

Speaker 4

I have.

Speaker 1

I've done my homework Victor. Have you done your homework? Times three. Tania, have you done your homework?

Speaker 8

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1

And, Gabe, have you done your homework? Yes. Alright.

Speaker 2

Well, don't bore us. Get to the chorus.

Speaker 1

We open with a cold open where we left off at the end of season one with Nat and Shoresy sitting in the lock room after they're lost to the suit. And not asking Shoresy what he's going to do differently if she if she keeps the team going and Shoresy looking at the weights and then the cold open ends and we open with our Shorsey logo. And on the title screen, we, hear the song pull out by death from above nineteen seventy five, nine. And that begins and we get a musical montage of the blue buried bulldogs, clearing their bench in celebration. It seems they've won the no show championship cut to team captain Shoresy at the trophy table impatiently waiting for his picture to be taken so he can hoist the trophy and bring it to his teammates. He finally does and they swarm him and to touch the trophy and they gather for an on ice team photo with the trophy. Cut to Matt Meek and Zig running down the hallway toward the lock room to join this the team in celebration with champagne and puffer showers. Cut again to the raising of the championship banner, ceremony. They've done it. The blueberry bulldogs are the twenty twenty to no show champs. The music ends, and we hear Shoresy saying that this

Speaker 2

This team will never lose again.

Speaker 1

Seeing two, it's time for everyone's favorite sports talk show questionable call brought to you by Brodude Energy drink hosted by Anik Arsh And, featuring panelists, Tesla Bonam, Jay Onwright, and the man they call RA. They kick things off with an addition of mic'd up featuring our heroes, the blueberry bulldogs versus the Hicks from Timmins.

Speaker 2

Hey, how that corn come in, Apple Dorn, she knee high by the fourth of July? Have you ever seen any crop circles out there? When you're driving by appeal to cows, how hard is it to not just pull over and rope one of them right there? Fuck you, Shorzy. Is that the payment value? I'll give you that. It's high competition, but the best STUFF COMES WHEN THEY PLAY KELER IN NORTH BAND. HOLLY FUCK KELERED THAT SEE GET EVEN BIGER? IT SELL A HADS ON THAT THING. YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT LOOK NIGHT some overhead lights right here. Put a missing kit on there. You fucking lose me?

Speaker 7

I love

Speaker 8

those color changes too, but

Speaker 2

Put a

Speaker 4

missing kit on there.

Speaker 7

I can't believe

Speaker 2

that he chirped the church. Fucking ugly are. Thirty Klips tonight.

Speaker 6

She's year

Speaker 2

old lady in the stands up there. She's helping those on her.

Speaker 7

This

Speaker 1

is when we learned that ever since that loss to the suit at the end of season one, the blueberry bulldogs are undefeated. They swept the no show playoffs to win the league. Jay on right, Lemense, that, the national senior tournament was canceled. Otherwise, the blueberry bulldogs might have won that too. They were on such a heater. And the heater continues in the on into the twenty twenty three twenty four season with the blueberry bulldogs on a twenty game win streak to start the year. If they win the final four games, They'll have a perfect season never done before in the no show, the no show. Michael's is the best goalie in the no show. JJ, Frankie, JJ, leads the The league and goals tested tries to bring things down to earth when she mentions the American expansion team that's just joined the no show, and they're a bit of a handful.

Speaker 2

You know, only in the no show could there exist two teams from the suit. Sioux, Ontario. And then I didn't even know there was

Speaker 4

a suit, Michigan, baby.

Speaker 5

Yes. The no show is now at five team lead.

Speaker 1

Tessa says the blueberry bulldogs have spent the entire season humiliating the rest of the league on the internet, putting a a giant target on their backs. There are four games left in the season, Timmins, North Bay, and a home and away against the Sue, Michigan. The other teams are all dying to spoil the, Bulldog's perfect season. Arie thinks they have bigger problems. If you think Shoresy was bad last year, trying to get his team out of out of the bottom, he's way worse this year trying to keep them at the top. No one can pass the bulldogs for first place this season. So essentially, what they're playing for is the best team in the league, this year, or they can be the best team in the league ever. RA asked Anik, hypothetically, sure. Look could go wrong. Next scene, Cutashoresi in Nat's office complaining that the Bulldogs are hammering too much ass. Nat, says, that's why they're meeting. There are too many distractions on the team. Their priority is the perfect season.

Speaker 2

Seriously, now, I want that fucking record, but, like,

Speaker 5

I've got my priorities straight.

Speaker 2

Sanger, don't be a pussy.

Speaker 8

But what, what?

Speaker 2

But like the boys are right up against it. Why? While one we're on a twenty game heater.

Speaker 5

And two

Speaker 2

there's an impossible amount of good looking girls in Sadbury.

Speaker 1

Cut to a quick montage of the Hot Girls of Subbury Instagram account. Set to the song, die with pride by Luke Barrz. Azig Azig brings them back to reality.

Speaker 2

Seriously, not I want that fucking record, but, like,

Speaker 5

I've got my priority straight.

Speaker 2

Sire, don't be a pussy.

Speaker 8

But what?

Speaker 2

But like the boys are right up against. Why? Well, one, we're on a twenty game heater.

Speaker 5

And two,

Speaker 2

There's an impossible amount of good looking girls in Sadbury.

Speaker 1

Not in Trump, Shoresy, to remind him that she asked him to raise his game last year, and she will give it to him. Shoresy got Jack.

Speaker 5

Too bad. All the dudes are ugly though.

Speaker 2

I was just gonna say z your hair looks legit good like that.

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 2

But I still think way more dudes would be into me guilty. Tanger? Don't be a pussy.

Speaker 5

She's my girlfriend, my guy.

Speaker 7

Yeah,

Speaker 2

but you're not gonna be like,

Speaker 1

Nogseeds turn to interrupt Shorzy's moment of sincerity by telling him to tuck his fucking tampon string in. Matt continues to tell Shorzy that, he answered the call, but then he went above and beyond get by getting the team jacked with him, which brings them back to the problem. The sluts are hammering too much ass. Miggs says they're top of the league on a ten twenty game heater and their most jack team in Nanosho. Can you imagine Shoresy assures the girls that they can't imagine? Then we cut to another montage set to the song of, by Lawrence of Dog Town showing off all the hot, half naked women who've been visited this visiting the Slutz apartment and then we get back to Mattinette's office in Shoresy stating. They got more ass than kellogg's has cornflakes. And that can't help but feel entirely responsible. Shorsey agrees. She is. He looks over at a wall with calendar photos of all the slots.

Speaker 2

If you don't want the boys and snapper, definitely don't make us do a calendar sexy photos. You're right. You're an idiot.

Speaker 5

I can't believe you got me to do that shit.

Speaker 2

That calendar's gonna bite us in the ass one day, Matt.

Speaker 5

You look like such a fucking goof in that thing, Shoresy?

Speaker 2

See, you got a voice that goes up one side of me and write down the other.

Speaker 5

I've got a voice.

Speaker 2

You had a face that makes me go, ah.

Speaker 1

Miggs turn to interrupt. She says money from the calendars will help fund their bid to host the national senior turner tournament. Sanger compliments on her idea. The senior tournament won't get canceled again now. Megan Zieg reminds Shorzy that Sanger, what the goal is. Four games left for a perfect season. They're warned to keep the sluts focused and that wants that record. Make sure they get the message. Next scene, we cut from that scene once again to Shoresy saying you're hammering too much ass. This time, he's talking to the sluts in their apartment. Goody's hammering too much ass, and Dolo's hammering way too much ass. Hit wonders if he's chopped liver. Oh, sorry. I missed some chopped liver. Shoresy tells him Goody and Dolo are wheeling more than him.

Speaker 3

You ever have foie gras?

Speaker 2

Yeah. Like, Donal wheeled the most. Good for Thirty second.

Speaker 1

No. And

Speaker 2

then you Well, in third.

Speaker 3

Oh, as he's right, rather,

Speaker 2

he is. Oh, not saying you're ugly hit. That's not what I'm saying. Charity beloveding Nissan. I'm just saying you're the ugliest here, Laura.

Speaker 1

Jesus calls on his girlfriend Bethany. He joined the conversation. She comes out wearing nothing but lingerie. And a housecoat. Hitchcock asked her who she thinks the ugliest of the sluts are, Bethany says Shoresy, of course. Dolo and Gidi think it should be a two out of three contest. So Dolo asked his girlfriend Melody She says it's hitch tying things up. But when Brit comes in from the other room to break the tie, saying that Chorsey is the ugliest of the sluts, From their kitchen, we hear a loud belch. It's JJ Frankie, JJ. You think a sandwich. That might have changed the voting, but it just isn't sure about Dig Frankie JayJ. He still bothered that he left the team last year to chase Lawrence Labeouf back to Quebec. Melody says that she didn't succeed in getting her back. Brits says that, Even, even Frank with Frankie, Jayjay in the room, Shoresy is still the ugliest. So, Shoresy says he doesn't care. Next scene cuts in that's office. She, Me, and Zeek are admiring the SLutz calendar pictures, not admits that Shoresy looks pretty good. Me corrects her. Not admits to putting too much Bailey's in her copy that morning. Z. He can't believe not got got them to do the calendar. They got him to fifty percent full capacity, bums and seats, but fifty eight seventy five. Not pauses and ask the other two if they think Michaels has been acting weird. Zeke answers goalies are always weird. Not refocuses says that the wolves got some, I don't know what I was there. Oh, got some the wolves, the sudbury wolves got some kids out to games. And I feel like this is the first time they've acknowledged that there's another hockey team in sudbury. Like, I've never I remember them ever mentioning the wolves on Shoresy before. So, but anyway, I feel like this is the first time. And anyway, that that loves see all the kids at the game. She wishes that they could do that too. So kids in sports, they off streets, and drugs kill dreams. Not, decides that they need to focus on the youth. So Ziggs says, they she could, fucking puke at the calendar photos. Next scene, cut back to the sluts.

Speaker 8

Are we Are we gonna chime in?

Speaker 1

Yeah. And Alright.

Speaker 7

Do you

Speaker 1

not remember how this goes?

Speaker 8

No. I don't. Well, I don't.

Speaker 4

In all fairness, you said

Speaker 7

we hope

Speaker 6

to be fair.

Speaker 4

Open. And then I was waiting for a break. I'm like, this is longest cold open.

Speaker 1

Well, because, Shoresy doesn't have cold opens, like, letter Well,

Speaker 4

you announced today.

Speaker 7

I feel like this is what we

Speaker 8

get to talk. We don't

Speaker 1

I'm I'm trying to get through this so we can have our I mean, if there's something you wanna talk

Speaker 7

about because

Speaker 4

I it's because I took up too much time talking about Yeah.

Speaker 6

He's course correcting for you.

Speaker 7

I I'm

Speaker 1

trying to. Is there something you wanted to bring up before I I go on?

Speaker 4

No. Tanya interject I think

Speaker 6

it's her wife that interrupted there.

Speaker 1

Is there something you weren't talking about?

Speaker 8

I don't remember. We've went through too many scenes.

Speaker 1

Take your notes. Cut back to the Slutz apartment shortly. He's also talking about calendars. He says good things about them is, is that none of them are too fucking ugly. Dolo agrees. Their good looking group, it says one day they'll wish they looked that good.

Speaker 2

Kind of funny. It's like, I come in. I take my tarp off. And then we had to take all your pictures again because you didn't have your tarps off.

Speaker 4

Didn't think of it all, man.

Speaker 6

Because the bunny days are shorty.

Speaker 2

Well, if I'm abroad looking at a sexy calendar dudes. I'm probably hoping they have their tarps off.

Speaker 4

Too handy the game time for a Martoony, Amy Son.

Speaker 2

Those calendars are gonna bite us in the ass one day, boys.

Speaker 1

At the Bulldog's game against Timmins, the sluts arrived for the game still talking about the calendar, how they're all greased up for the pictures.

Speaker 2

Well, if I'm abroad looking at a calendar of sexy dudes with their tar off and probably hoping they're greased down too.

Speaker 1

Just then the gyms run past them still in their work uniforms. They apologize for being late. They were playing reach for the top. My first production note here. Reach for the top. Canadian, do have you ever heard of the the reach for the top gate? No. No. I wasn't used Okay. Good. So because it's a Canadian thing. So reach for the top is a Canadian academic quiz competition for, high school students It was also a game show on CBUT and CBC from nineteen sixty one all the way till nineteen eighty five. And fun fact, Alex Trebeck, hosted the Toronto version of the show from sixty seven to seventy. So, and and then in the early aughts, the national finals have reached for the top the high the high school competition, we're still being aired on television. So back to Shoresy, despite being interrupted by the gymsys, let's continue to talk about the calendar shoot. Hitch remembers the spray tans they all got. Shoresy Krecs hitch. Dool didn't get a spray tan for obvious reasons. C Nate. And the bulldogs, did you want to say something, Matt?

Speaker 4

No. Just What

Speaker 6

are the reasons? Yeah.

Speaker 4

Just I just laughed when you said Delo didn't get right hand for all users.

Speaker 1

Yes. C Nate, the Bulldog's locker room. The sluts are still talking about the calendar. They all had their tarps off, except for the gyms who didn't lift a single weight, and they still might be the most popular of all the boys. Shoresy tries to get the players focused on their appoint opponent at that night fish talks about the gyms and the uniforms. Shoresy tells hitch that fish would be the ugliest guy in the room. He'd be a lot less ugly if you're if he was scoring a goal a game, but Then we get back to the gyms and the uniforms.

Speaker 2

Well, like if I'm abroad looking at a sexy calendar, a greased down dudes with their tarps off, I for sure wouldn't mind a few rugged men uniform saw in there.

Speaker 6

Fettle down.

Speaker 2

Fucking baker right into the K. K, Jim?

Speaker 7

Yeah. Kim? Yes.

Speaker 2

Jim? Traditionally men

Speaker 1

in uniform do pretty well with bras, but

Speaker 2

you should still ask them how to

Speaker 1

do them all the time too. Seen nine on their on their way to the pre game warm up. Dolo asked the gym what reach for the top is. And Jim three informs Dolo that they run a trivia league at the jail. Shorzy tries to get the players refocus, but they continue to talk about the trivia. They play in teams of four inmates play against each other, but the guards also have a team of four. Michael's asked them who their fourth teammate is, but sure Shorzy interrupts them to remind them why they're there.

Speaker 2

Timmons Timber King's boys. Let's get that fucking record.

Speaker 1

At the pre game warm up, Liam and Corey are in the stands with cameras to catch all the chirping action. They're communicating with walkie talkies. Corey's making fun of Liam for having his walkie talkie clipped to his shoulder.

Speaker 4

I'm not doing that.

Speaker 2

Why not? Because I've never seen a guy with a walkie clip to his shoulder again. Getting sucked.

Speaker 1

We're treated.

Speaker 6

What scenarios did he actually see it getting sucked?

Speaker 1

But you maybe you'll have to ask Corey yourself. Then we're treated to, Shoresy's pre game warm up chirping routine.

Speaker 2

Found your way out of the corn maze. Hey, out the door and you a fucking loser. Good for that streak, bud. Hey, Bill Gates. Find up carmine around you guys too. Wearing number for the Timmons Timber Kings, Mervyn emmanuel Moses. What a moment for this young man as it has no doubt the greatest moment in this entire life. Hey, which one are you fucking elmeriza is he killed? You're dead. You're dead. No, I'm I'm gonna kill you. Alright. I'm serious. I'll fucking kill you shortly. Alright. First, shift we kill each other.

Speaker 1

After the warm up, the bulldogs are back in the locker room getting psyched for the game with the usual. Are you ready? Good. Because you're going Yahoo. Next scene, musical game montage set to the song foobar by Suruda, scenes from scenes of the Bulldog roughing up the Timmins players and snowing their goalie. JJ Frank, JJ scores first. Jim three knocks down the eldest apple dorm in a fight, to set the tone. And the Bulldog win easily two nothing. Matt Meagan Zieg are walking towards locker room recapping the game, another win, another shout out for Michaels. He's been acting weird lately. Golies are always weird. As they approach the locker room, they can hear Shoresy tearing a strip off the team. He's not happy with the win.

Speaker 5

Listen.

Speaker 4

I thought

Speaker 5

he was bad trying to get us out of the bottom. He is way worse trying to keep us at the top.

Speaker 1

Cut to the locker room, Shorzy's batting sticks out of the hands of and mouths of his players berating them for not doing enough.

Speaker 7

You wanna

Speaker 2

chitchat with Abinor in between plays? Well, fuck him up the ass and get it over with. Will we get fucking two on the Timmons Denver games? Have these guys work a fucking twelve hour shift wheeling at fucking two? We've got the fucking yanks

Speaker 7

next week. We've got

Speaker 2

fucking yanks next week. I throw them over there with a bag of trans fats. How big good fucking laugh at? Hey, you only get a stick. You can play more in five minutes. You useless don't get a stick because the rest of you can only get two fucking tucks. Fish. Used to get a bowl of fucking game. How many did you get tonight? Zero. In the game before that. Zero. In the game before that. Zero.

Speaker 7

Speaker 2

the game before that. Zero. You don't count on but they didn't get any. Not the word for fucking Michael. The streak could be over.

Speaker 8

Thank you.

Speaker 2

Shut the fuck out Michael. Nothing leaves the worst meat in hockey. And quit playing the puck so much. Take your fucking Marty Turtle.

Speaker 1

And the yellow yelling continues. And then final scene cut to the peddlers pub. An actual pub in suddbury that we've been to. The players are all there with their girlfriends, except for Michaels, who's just standing there alone pathetically facing the wall and drinking a beer. And not Megan Ziger watching him. Not wonders if he's all, if he's, I don't know what that means. But anyway, not wonders if he's okay. Meeg says he's acting weird. Zig adds that the goalies are always weird. Then they turn their attention to the sluts.

Speaker 5

Two goals on Timmins. I swear Frank wasn't talking to

Speaker 8

a game. Frank is on top of the world.

Speaker 5

Look at them. Wonder they have no legs in the third. They already played a period between sheets. Birks have been number one to many distractions. Sure. He's on it. You know he wants a fucking record.

Speaker 7

Look at

Speaker 5

you. Go home. You're drunk. Shoresy is a dumb ugly sludge. Okay. She's back. Dummest ugliest that we've gotten me.

Speaker 8

I think

Speaker 7

she was still in there.

Speaker 5

But that dude commits. Loves to win. Hates blues. It doesn't matter how long it takes to get it. He wants it. It'll work. Guess the rest of them just have to decide? Yeah. Do they wanna be the best team in the league this year? Or do they wanna be the best team in the league ever? Better decide

Speaker 6

quick? Mhmm. Because they're coming.

Speaker 1

When that says they're coming, we cut to a shot of the American Sue team. In training, and we fade to black. Alright. That was the episode. Now if we were to think back to our lineup, Matt, you get to go first and remember Right now, you're just gonna talk about you what you thought of the episode. You're not giving a rating yet. You're just giving us your points.

Speaker 4

Yeah. It was a hell of a cold open now.

Speaker 6

This is episode two hundred and what?

Speaker 4

Oh, there's so much to unpack on this one. So I'll I'll pick a few points because I'm sure everyone's got lots to talk about. Out of the gate, I was thrown off by the timeline jump. It it definitely I didn't see that. I you know, anytime you come into any season, you know this one's story driven. You're wondering where they're gonna go with this. I think we all on our heads are like, okay, we're gonna pick up. We're gonna see the playoffs and see how this pans out. I mean, that's what I assumed. And then we jumped. So I'll be honest, I was thrown off by and it took me a minute to sort of come up to grips. I'm like, okay. No. This is what we're doing. But on the other side of it, I got over it pretty quick. I was okay, you know, like, they would say set the tone. So they very quickly set the tone through the, what's the the commentary guy, like, like, Tessa and Anikin and Arrey and them, set the tone just like they didn't season one and let you know, what's up and and and to kind of filled in all the blanks of what we needed to know. So I got over that, and moved into it. I did wonder why the decision to not make RA a target again in that discussion happen? Because, you know, last season, like, Anik wouldn't even let him speak without just Right. Just digging into him. And there was none of that. So clearly, there was a decision that they weren't gonna do with this one. I thought that was pretty funny in the last season, but I'd be curious to know what why they left that one aside and just carried on. Like they were all a big happy family. So that was just an observation, and I think I'm probably not alone on that. The opening I I love the opening montage. Again, once I gotta be on the the timeline thing and and when you see them win the championship, I loved everything about it, but I I I have to say I couldn't take my ass my eyes off Kiso. His, physical humor and and in that opening. Like, when he's about to grab the trophy, he's like bouncing up

Speaker 7

and now waiting for the go.

Speaker 4

Holy hell. And then when he grabs the trophy, hugs it on the ground and, like, he just sold that whole sequence, phenomenally. And I I I watched it multiple times just because I couldn't stop laughing at him and how he how he played that one out. So that was really good. Now we have the different storylines happening too. Right? So the calendar thing, again, I've seen a bit ahead, but even as I watched this, I I was like, okay. There's clearly a gimmick they're playing here with the calendar. Where is gonna go. But I also couldn't kinda help laugh when they were going about how this calendar and the and tarps off, agree stuff. Then they have the whole conversation about wanted to make sure we draw on the kids. Mhmm. So there was a weird connection to about using these calendars and and and and have naked guys to sell it and they're gonna it it made me laugh. I'm like, this is such a weird connection.

Speaker 1

And a couple of different times, Shorzy has said this calendar is gonna come back to bite us in the ass. So you gotta think

Speaker 4

So maybe that I haven't finished the season, so I don't know, or maybe that's later. But, yeah, so he said that. And then some of these conversations, I'm like, they they feel intentional. Everything comes.

Speaker 8

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Where

Speaker 4

where is this going? The JJ storyline, I was little confused. I think they kinda breezed over that. Mhmm. And and maybe more comes back later, but I think we all had and maybe it's just the way we position it in our own heads and our own discussions. We thought there was gonna be a lot more behind that, but they're kind of like, oh, we're here in the future. He He ran off chaser and now we're here. So, I didn't know what to expect with that. I I maybe I I had this opinion that we were gonna get more out of that, but It is what it is, and and I'm I'm glad they're all bad. And I'm glad he's back, of course, because Yeah. He's such a player. The other one, I'll so two two last things I'll call out. One, Actually, three. Corey and Liam, their new positions in the crowd, I thought was brilliant.

Speaker 7

Mhmm. The

Speaker 4

them off the ice in that setting their bench. I hope they keep playing that that angle because that the mic'd up thing, they're doing that one. That was some of my favorite banter. Of the whole episode was those short little clips of those two going back and forth. The music, amazing in this episode, and I will call out. I I know, Max Buffard posted at first that I saw it, but Krave Canada on their Instagram posted the, soundtrack lineups for every sowed in a post a couple weeks back for Shoresy season two. So anyone who is curious

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Look up

Speaker 1

There's a I think there's a a Shoresy season two Spotify playlist that you can Yeah.

Speaker 4

Yeah. And and they've got listed in the post as well. Like, six slides, all the all the music from each episode. So if you're curious, check them out, I I know I did right away. And then the last thing I'll I'll quickly say is Shorzy's intensity is through the roof, and I don't know if I love it or it's throwing me off, or it's just the pressure getting to him, and he's just off the hinge. But it it's a next level intensity where I'm excited to see where it goes and how he controls that. But, yeah, no, it's a it was a fantastic all in I'm loving the start to this. There's a, like, a lot going on. They're unpacking a lot. Line in the episode, though, to me, subtle, goody, when he says, no.

Speaker 1

Right. Because, Dolo says his his, his tag line, and he's like, yeah, no.

Speaker 4

That that when he responded with the no. It's. I I die. So, anyways, not I'll I'll leave. I'll I was lots more to go, but

Speaker 1

Alright. I love it. Yeah. Thanks for

Speaker 6

keeping it short, man.

Speaker 1

Yeah. I'm next. Well, he's not talking Disney anymore, so we're good here. Alright. Let's see here. So we're back to Keitho's habit that he he he had in Letter Kenny of completely, like, setting up amazing cliffhangers and then completely abandoned them banning them at the beginning of the next season. That's

Speaker 4

a better way of putting it.

Speaker 1

And and so I was a little I was a little disappointed in that. I'm like, wait a minute. So that whole thing that all the whole last season led up to that And then we're just in one quick, very short cold open. We're just gonna say, oh, and then they went off and won the no show like undefeated. Like, they won every game. Like, you know what I mean? It's like, and so JJ Frankie, JJ abandoned his team. There's no comeuppance there. What the hell? Like, I know hitch brings it up, and and hitch was was, you know, he brings it up in that in that scene in the apartment. I'm like, okay. Good. Now we're gonna hear some no. Nothing is is so yeah. I'm like, What's going on here? The stakes that they're bringing bringing on this season does he wanna be the best in the league or the best effort? Like, really? That's, like, that's the range we're going for here.

Speaker 4

Yeah. It's not It's ego. It's ego tripping at this point.

Speaker 1

Yeah. Like, it just kind of

Speaker 8

Well, when you get that close and you've won already that many.

Speaker 2

Look, I understand. Then, really.

Speaker 1

Yeah. I understand that Kisil's probably trying to go for a different kind of story line. Like, I think it's been overdone. We're like, well, they win or lose. No. This is will they win, or will they just win more? Like, I feel like he's setting up these stakes. The stakes are kinda weak. Now I'm I'm I'm hoping that it gets better. In terms of the stakes. But right now, it's like, yeah, I know I'm getting a blue spatula from Victor. It's just like, okay. This season is all about whether they're gonna win or they're gonna be perfect. I'm like, because and they've already established, they're gonna win No one can pass them anymore. Like, they've they've had a twenty games win streak with four games left. They're the first place team. So no one can pass them. So the only thing bad thing that could happen to them is that they lose their perfect season, which I get that Shorzy is intense enough that that would really bother him. But as a viewer, I'm like, Whatever. You're gonna win the league. I don't I don't know if I can feel bad for you if if you don't get your perfect season. But anyway, I'll be interested to see where that goes. So, Matt, when you when you talk about pressure, I'm like, I don't feel like there's any pressure. Like,

Speaker 4

He he's putting it on himself. Right?

Speaker 1

Yeah. Yeah. Now and and that's fine. You don't need huge stakes. Like, one of my favorite shows during the pandemic was Hollywood. I think it was called Hollywood. We were it was only one season. A great show, like, it was a period piece about Hollywood and the and there's like a re imagining of of history. Basically, if every if Hollywood wasn't so sexist and so racist and stuff, what it would what it would be like? And that whole show, there were no stakes in that show. Nothing ever really went wrong. Like, it it went wrong a little bit, but in the very next episode, things resolved really quickly. And that's kind of what I feel is happening here is like, like, I don't know. The stakes are kind of weak, but Whatever. Watching this, Liam, like, after we interviewed, the actor who played Liam, I kept on watching him for for for signs that that he was in pain because when we interviewed him, he talked about how he broke his jaw or remember, and that throughout the whole He was, like, drugged up because he was in so much pain. And I saw none none of that. And I've, you know, I've actually, like, tweeted out to him and and said, hey, I've watched the episodes, and I'm really impressed with how well you hit the pain. He's like, I was I was in a lot of pain, but, well done there. And somebody, I forget who on the Discord group brought up the theory that big sexy only says tit fucker when JJ Frankie, JJ's name is mentioned. And I'm watching now very closely And in in this episode, it tracks. Like, we only ever hear, tit fucker, when JJ Frankie, JJ is being called upon, or when he speaks himself. So it's really interesting if it's like Shoresy has trained his bird to only say tit fucker when JJ's involved. So maybe that's Shoresy's like a very, very passive aggressive way of getting JJ back for abandoning the team. Oh, yeah. It was Casey who said that. Thank you, Casey. But anyway, Those are my kind of initial initial thoughts on on this, episode, Victor.

Speaker 6

Alright. So before I rip into you, this This this episode was, actually, kind of special because I I had just come back from the zoo when Oh,

Speaker 1

that's right. Yeah.

Speaker 6

The first episode.

Speaker 1

The Canadian suit, but yeah.

Speaker 6

The Canadian suit. And I had no idea that there was an American suit. Until I went to the zoo. Right. And it was right there. It was across the across the river.

Speaker 1

Oh, so they're like neighboring cities?

Speaker 6

They're they're like, yeah, it's like looking at Detroit from Windsor for those of you who've been to Windsor,

Speaker 3

or Detroit. Anyway,

Speaker 6

it's so they're right next to each other. And and and apparently, they're very, very similar cities, except it's a little more tourist the on the US side, where there's, you know, fudge shops and things like that. Okay. Where there's nothing touristy on the Canadian side. Let's go there. Which is a bonus. Right? Because that's it's like it was

Speaker 4

Nothing says tourism like fudge.

Speaker 6

The suit was so good. Like, it was such a it was such a good time. Like, it was I'm ready to live there. Anyway, so that was like a really neat episode because, you know, they were kind of just talking about that. Anyway, so getting into the episode, and the opening, I thought I was really, really happy to see the mont montage because I feel like he's so listened to me. Right? The because because no. Let me tell you. Let me tell you. So, you know, one of my biggest beefs with episode one season one was the premise. The premise that they're gonna shut the sleeve shut down the team that's already in a three league three team league. How could the league even exist? Four team.

Speaker 1

It was a four team.

Speaker 3

Four team.

Speaker 1

Oh, if they shut it down, it'd be three.

Speaker 6

If they shut it down, it's a three team league. It's like, what what are you talking about? And so so the

Speaker 1

And, but he so heard you and he and he called you on right. Yeah.

Speaker 6

Yeah. He said, I better move away from this premise and just, you know, like, you know, shake my head and and listen to this dude. And I'm really you know what? It takes a big man to do that, and I really appreciate that about him. So that's really, really good. I have to give him kudos for that. And and so really great. Yeah. Just trying

Speaker 8

to avoid another headlock.

Speaker 4

Well, I figured I'd say you're welcome, everyone, for a fifth team.

Speaker 6

Well, you know, we still have we still have another, letter. Can you see season to get into that?

Speaker 1

I wonder if that was kind of a a not a shot, but maybe a callback to the CFL too because CFL only had nine teams, and two of them had the same nickname. Different when it's two cities having the same name, but in the CFOs, Ottawa rough riders, and the Saskatchewan rough riders, it's like, can't one of you guys.

Speaker 6

I think finally change to change their name. But anyway, so I and that's all I'll say. Yeah. It was it was a really it it was a great opening It set the scene. Let's move on. Let's make a premise that's a little easier to digest.

Speaker 7

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

And it was a great episode.

Speaker 1

Okay. Tanya.

Speaker 8

Alright. I'm looking to be educated. So in questionable call and b but before I say

Speaker 4

What it was called.

Speaker 1

Questionable call.

Speaker 8

Questionable call. But before I say finally, finally finally, we get to talk about this because we have had it for a month now It was released in Canada, and it wasn't released in the state. So this has been a long, long, long time holding our tongues and not saying anything. And finally, we can talk So that being said, questionable call. So is their audio of of hockey players chirping. Is that a thing? Or is that just the story?

Speaker 1

There there are yeah. There are videos mic'd up players on, like, YouTube and stuff But the generally, they don't make players up that they know we're gonna be swearing like sailors, like, let her, like,

Speaker 7

Like, not in the show either. Like, the NHL. I don't think

Speaker 1

No. It's exaggerated. It's exaggerated.

Speaker 6

It's exaggerated, but it's one hundred percent the thing.

Speaker 8

It is a thing.

Speaker 1

Yeah. It is a thing. Yeah.

Speaker 8

Because I'm like, How would you ever, like, because when you're watching, like, baseball, like, you don't hear what they're saying when they're,

Speaker 1

like, talking because sometimes they they might wake up, baseball players It's actually I love it when they do that because you get to hear what's going on in the game, and and often it's really funny. Like, it's really good. But but

Speaker 6

you don't understand. It's not about what you hear as a fan. It's about what you're experience as a hockey player.

Speaker 1

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

That's what it's about. This is this is for the the chirping is really specifically for people who grew up with hockey.

Speaker 8

I was just trying to I was just trying to re like, the questionable call, like, how far fetched is it? Is it something that

Speaker 1

No. If you watch end sports center, whatever. They'll sometimes have, oh, and we we put a mic on such and such a player.

Speaker 8

So that's the thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1

But what they'll do is they'll edit they'll edit clips together and make sure that you never hear them swearing. Yeah.

Speaker 6

Oh, okay. They'll do it in y'all star games now, but people know keep it clean and stuff like that.

Speaker 7

It's exaggerated. Yeah.

Speaker 1

Yeah. For sure.

Speaker 8

Because, like, yeah, Shoresy, being miked, that would be

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 1

In this case, they like him because they know he's

Speaker 7

gonna be

Speaker 8

every other word.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Yeah. Junior hockey, it's a lot more prevalent than in in the show. Mhmm.

Speaker 8

And and and so on, and now educate me some more. So Shorzy, and the

Speaker 7

way he keeps them at the top, like,

Speaker 8

just just making things even worse for them. Is that an actual motivating technique

Speaker 7

to to go? Sure. If you're,

Speaker 8

what what's that

Speaker 1

football coach's name that, of night. Was it Bobby Knight or yeah. There's there's there's motivators out there who

Speaker 6

You don't have to go into football.

Speaker 1

Oh, you're right. My team and Look look

Speaker 6

at the coach that basically Shoresy is named after Eddie Shore.

Speaker 1

That's right. Yeah.

Speaker 6

He was that's he was a brutal coach. And let's see if any of you any of you seen the, the Don Cherry, two part movie, there's in the there's a great example of that. And I think that's, you know, I think I think a lot of origins of Shoresy are laced in Don Cherry's,

Speaker 1

It's an old school coaching mentality. There's a lot of old school coaches that would would, yeah, tear strips off the pitch.

Speaker 7

It's a it's fucking embarrassing. Saying. Yeah.

Speaker 8

Yeah. I coached. Right? Yeah. I mean, it's just it's so intent. Just like, Matt was saying, he he's taken definitely to the next level and he's it's so intense. Funny in some ways, but really intense in others. And it's like Wow.

Speaker 1

Like That's that last scene where he's like slapping the the cones out of their hands. It hard to laugh in any of that scene because he's being, like, really really angry and stuff in the tense. Yeah. That's that's like yeah.

Speaker 6

The the whole thing about about asking the guys not to, have sex or anything like that. That was a real thing that Eddie

Speaker 1

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6

Told the, the Boston team that or, Americans, what are Rochester.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Rochester. That's right. Yeah.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Well, he that he told the team. He told the wives not to have sex with their No.

Speaker 1

Men. We're talking like the fifties and sixties and stuff. Like, this is back.

Speaker 6

Not fifties. It was in the sixties and seventies.

Speaker 1

Sorry, Victor. I was ten years off.

Speaker 8

Oh my. Wow.

Speaker 1

Fifty years ago, ten years off or six years ago.

Speaker 8

Okay. Everything that Matt said, I agree with it. The

Speaker 1

Not the mindset.

Speaker 8

Well, you know, some of. But, yeah, the

Speaker 1

You didn't know.

Speaker 8

The, timeline jumping around, winning the no show, the championship. The one thing that, and, and your comment about the RA, and, love about the the com the comment about balancing, you know, how excited sure as he was about getting the trophy. And and I do agree with you as well, Al. The the breezing over the JJ Frankie JJ. Like, I just wish that we had it got a little bit more of what had happened there.

Speaker 6

It's episode one. You don't wanna blow your load in the first episode.

Speaker 1

That's fine.

Speaker 8

They touched on it, though. And then they just jumped off away from it just as quick. And we saw him in the background, and it was just like, okay. So what did happen? It. Like, did he

Speaker 1

All we know is that he he he chased

Speaker 8

with

Speaker 1

us, Lawrence labeouf to Quebec, but couldn't get her back. Came back. And they won this no show. So maybe winning heals all wounds or whatever. But, yeah, it's So

Speaker 4

I have a small two of this, but I'm not gonna

Speaker 7

Speaker 4

I'm just thinking I'll bring it up at a later episode because there's more in this season that unveil something.

Speaker 7

You're not

Speaker 6

allowed to talk about it.

Speaker 4

I'm not. I'm not. I'm just saying I I just want you to remind me Mhmm. Because I think there's a bit of a theory on this one that there might have been a change in in direction.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 7

Speaker 8

wanted to say I agree, Corey and Liam in the crowd Fantastic.

Speaker 1

It was fun.

Speaker 8

Fragua is gross. Don't don't try it? Frog.

Speaker 7

What are

Speaker 6

you talking? It's pate. It's basically pate.

Speaker 8

No. It's weird. It's it's not pate. I love pate. Pate is good.

Speaker 7

I pate

Speaker 6

frog where I taste like pate too.

Speaker 8

No. It tastes like jelly, weird, texture. It's it's very not right. Or something like that.

Speaker 6

No. You probably have like a moose version of it.

Speaker 8

It's like a moosey weird. No. Because I like moose too. No. The frog wall was different and it was gross and don't do it people.

Speaker 1

Michelle, on the live stream says, yum, she likes.

Speaker 6

Really? Was it was it like at a McDonald's something. It

Speaker 8

was all my steak. No. No. It was, like, we were

Speaker 7

Mick foie.

Speaker 1

Mick foie

Speaker 6

gras. Well, you know, like, they have that lobster sandwich. I mean, whatever. Yeah.

Speaker 8

I was I was nowhere where there was a frogwa.

Speaker 1

Trace says it's boost liver.

Speaker 2

I don't

Speaker 8

even know what it was. It was all my steak, and we we were at a very nice, restaurant. And I thought, oh, well, try it and no. No. Just no. The one thing though, I wanted to ask, I felt like there was a jump back and forth back and forth. There were they were like, in the locker room talking about the game on the way out to the ice at the ice. And then we were back in

Speaker 7

the the locker room.

Speaker 2

This is

Speaker 1

the first time they're on

Speaker 8

the ice. Loss.

Speaker 1

No. The first time they're on the ice is the pre game warm up. So they do that. They go out to get a sweat on. Come back. And then the the then they wait for the game to start.

Speaker 2

What the hell did I miss?

Speaker 4

Jen, I I I'm not gonna lie. I'm with you, but I was a little confused for a second.

Speaker 8

Okay. Because I was like, weren't we just on the ice? Why are we back in the locker room? Is this a second game or is this the first game? And where No.

Speaker 6

Six for you.

Speaker 2

No. I I

Speaker 4

had I had a moment while I'm right there with you.

Speaker 8

Okay. Good. Good. Good stuff. Good stuff.

Speaker 1

Cool. Are you are you good? Fucking embarrassing.

Speaker 7

Fucking

Speaker 8

embarrassing.

Speaker 1

What what did you think of this episode?

Speaker 7

Yeah. So, you guys said a few of the things that I was kinda feeling, but the, the bouncing, first of all, the character is is I just like it was that's what makes Shoresy in the production and Letter Kenny is so great. It's like they really get into the characters and the writing, the production, everything about it, the set, everything is the same. But what you guys said about the time jump, I was like, absolutely. It it it I think it does make sense given, like, because they got them stud they got the studs, and they got them focused. A little bit, like, working out or whatnot. So, like, I wasn't completely taken it back, but I was like, okay. I wish we had seen that. Yeah. But it was, Yeah. It was like, okay. Cool. They're they're doing well. What's what is the season gonna be about? And it's like, oh, being the best ever. Interesting. I will say this. I think that the the screaming from Shoresy was way out of character.

Speaker 1

I thought you were meaning the

Speaker 7

Right.

Speaker 6

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1

Or whatever, the little yelps that he makes and, no. You're talking about the the yelling. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7

The yell. Yeah. Because where I'm actually when I was by doing this, I was like, am I allowed

Speaker 8

to say anything now?

Speaker 7

I think I'm gonna say something negative. Like, that was to me, I was like, whoa. Okay. This is a little No.

Speaker 2

I mean, we do all this.

Speaker 4

This is an opinion, people.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Yep.

Speaker 2

What are you for?

Speaker 1

If you listen to our This is not a fan

Speaker 6

show. This is this

Speaker 4

is okay.

Speaker 1

If you listen to our reviews of Letter Kenny, you're often Victor slamming Letter Kenny.

Speaker 7

Okay. I don't watch again, I haven't watched in a while. And, I don't watch a lot of after shows. And I'm I'm glad that it can be more objective. I'm sorry. Yeah.

Speaker 1

No. Absolutely.

Speaker 7

No. But, but, yeah, no. I thought, yeah, I was just way at and it was just, like, it wasn't funny, but then I was, like, I hope that's not. I I do know a little bit more. I saw few more episodes maybe.

Speaker 6

But I won't talk about them. Yeah.

Speaker 7

I'm not. I'm not. I swear. Yeah. But, but I, I was, like, is this gonna be the whole season? Like, you you know what I mean? Yeah. But, that said, I, I was happy to see them do well. It was kinda cool because then a lot of these shows, I feel especially these days, I feel like a lot of TV shows have the main characters need to go through some turmoil. Yeah. And, like, to see them, like, hey, they did it. They killed it. You know, they did really well. And now they're, like, the top especially after last season where they're, like, struggling somewhat. Yeah.

Speaker 1

And so maybe that's where the stakes come from. How how Shorzy deals with this. Right? But for now, I I can't get invested either way. It's like big deal. You either win or

Speaker 7

you're perfect.

Speaker 6

Big deal. Do you see how emotional he got when talking tonight and the fact that she didn't fold a team and she gave him a chance.

Speaker 1

No. I I yeah. I understand that part.

Speaker 6

There's there's there's a lot of trauma there inside. Plus, you have to remember how the chores you get to be the way that he is. And that, you know, so so a lot of the things that he went through and that he learned about how to motivate, motivate in quotes Mhmm. Is is now what he's that those are the tools that he's using on his team. And yes, it's saying Gwyneth's team, but it's his team.

Speaker 1

Right.

Speaker 6

Right.

Speaker 1

I I agree. I agree. So if if the stakes I'm looking for are with how Shoresy deals with things, then you're right. They're they're a little higher there. Just overall, I'm like, that's it. Like, it's either you you're a winner or you're perfect. Like, that doesn't seem to be too much of a. Anyway, Sorry, Gabe.

Speaker 7

It's yeah. No. No. No. No. And it's the first episode. Yeah. So who thinks may be introduced, you know, or what have you. But, yeah, it was just, like, after last season, though, seeing them just, like, struggle, you know, especially against these other teams. It was cool to see them do well, but then it's like, yeah, where are they going from here?

Speaker 4

So I

Speaker 7

do think that didn't know what it was called. Again, I'm new to hockey. So I didn't know it was called a tarp, or they or in Canada. They called them tarps. That was really funny. That's just

Speaker 8

Don't worry. I didn't know.

Speaker 1

Just another word. It's it's hockey speak for for shirts. Like, take your your top tarbox. So it's just, yeah, if you're topless. Yeah.

Speaker 7

Cool. No, no, that makes sense.

Speaker 6

You can also use that for a for a car.

Speaker 7

Yes. Of course. Wait. A car, like, a, like, a a car?

Speaker 6

A car that you drive. You take pictures of New York.

Speaker 7

We don't even have

Speaker 1

That's alright. Victor doesn't drive either. So I don't know why he's trying to.

Speaker 7

A license, but I don't I'm horribly driving. It's bad.

Speaker 8

Well, you're in New York. Why would you drive? Why would you drive? Yeah.

Speaker 7

On the upper east side, it's just like, I don't need it.

Speaker 6

Unless you're driving subways.

Speaker 7

Exactly. Which is a whole other thing. But I will say this. One of the reasons I fell in love with Letter Kenny and Shoresy, mostly Shoresy more so is because I love chirping. Like, I was dying when he said, if, I can almost see it with the your visors, so dark, can only see how fucking ugly you are. I was, like, I was, like, disturbing just gets me all the time. I love it. And, like, the, the, the guy he does it so well with, like, the Hicks and or I don't know if it's cold hits, but, like, it's just such a, like, the people that live in the middle of nowhere. Just like, he, like, if that's he gets any bigger, he puts some headlights on. It's just so So I thought I'd really happen to see that again. Yeah. The the the one thing I do love about Letter Kenny too. Sorry. Shortsey and Letter Kenny. Mostly, Shoresley, though. Is how quick the dialogue is. I love thirty rock. I don't know if you guys have seen thirty rock. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Right? It's it reminds me of that where it is super quick, but it is still funny and everything, like, not everything, but, like, even the quickest stuff. They don't it's not like a sitcom where they make you wait for, like, laughter or, like, to really get a joke and milk it. Like, they will do a really funny joke and then move right on. And it still is that, which was great to see. The only thing I'll say. And, like, the writing is still still so good. Like, everything you say is he goes up one side of me down the other, whatever I

Speaker 1

love that line. Yeah. That's a great.

Speaker 7

Right. The writing is just on is is top notch. And when he shows he's like, he's talking his thing when they're they're finally dating, saying when it's finally dating, what's

Speaker 4

Yeah. No one's called that out. You're right. Right?

Speaker 3

It was

Speaker 7

it was like, okay. It happened. Which one? We no. She's getting squeezed from her, but they were flirting all last week. Yeah. I'm sorry. Last season. Mhmm. And so, yeah. Right? That's official. That was cool to see, but then Shoresy giving him shit, being, like, You don't feel guilty about it. But yeah. So, those that's my overall. I'm I think it was a a decent intro. Again, it's week one, but, I I won't lie. I think I like the first episode of the last season, the pilot a little better. Sure. But because there was a lot more there. I do wish they did more. I don't watch those Canadian commentary commentators, so I don't know them that well. But, I do wish they did the whole RA thing and that was kinda funny and, and kinda piled on him, but, it was cool. And I thought that, they did a good it was a decent and, generous first episode given what we expect. So

Speaker 1

Alright. So let's move on to our ratings. And, Matt, you're up first again, just to remind our audience because and and to remind my my my panelists because it's been that long. Our we have a three sis a three score rating system, fresh clearance or compost. Fresh being the best. Clearance being good and compost being forget about it. So Max What would you give this first episode of season two?

Speaker 4

So for before I wanna add a little extra commentary. And then I'll get my rating. I do want to quickly applaud

Speaker 7

what

Speaker 4

I'll say, the evolution, the production side of this show, especially when comparing because I know there's a lot of crossover crew between, as we know, doing Letter Kenny and Shoresy, there are some some differences, but, I know we've talked about Letter Kenny, There's a lot of very formatted ways they do things. And we love it, but it's very static. And when they came into Shoresey, they started to play a lot more. A lot more tracking shots, zooms, pans. Like, they're really having some fun. I know, our buddy, Billy Butler, there has a big stake in that. But it's given the entire production a lot more wiggle room to have some fun with the cameras and explore what they can do at season one, we saw some of that. And I love right out of the gate in episode one here. You're seeing of that too. Like, the tracking shots down the hallways. You know, coming up into the onto the ice there. You know, they they've got their their standard, pan along the ice as they're all lined up. Like, I love those shots. They're very much power shots, and they and they just set the tone with their music and everything. And, of course, Drew McCloud, I think, I apologize, Casey called him a Kyle Martin, I think, is the one of the other editors. Yeah.

Speaker 2

We gotta get the other editor on, because, Drew.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Drew's great. We know after you guys, I I wasn't there for the Drew interview, but I I listened to it. Mhmm. You know, the banter is so tight, but a big part of that is because of the editors. Right? They're able to really bring that together because they do their best to do it in the moment. But those little moments that they they are able to tighten up those shots just that sell the show so much more. So I really love the tone. They've said in episode one in terms of redefining their style again. And, like, this is Shoresy. Here's what we're about. The music, sets it's a then it pay pays a card. They really set the tone. Mhmm. So because of that, yes, I I think there's a few gaps and story. I think there's some reasons behind it that maybe, we're out of control. I don't not out of the control of of of what they're working with. I don't know. But I'm still gonna give this one. It's not a high refresh, but I'm gonna give it a fresh, because I I really enjoyed them kind of bringing us back in. And, I I I think they did a really good job of setting that tone.

Speaker 1

Okay. Let's see. It's the first episode of season two. I'm don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled. Shoresy's back. I I I loved seeing it, watching it, the energy. Everything about it was was was on point. But I gotta give a room to grow. And this one here, just You're

Speaker 8

a grower,

Speaker 7

not a grower.

Speaker 1

Yeah. It's it it, I was disappointed in of what he, you know, he did this in letter Kenny many, many times where we were so up, like, cranked up for that from that that cliffhanger. And then when we get to the next episode, the storyline gets drop, not or dropped, or they go through it really quickly. To get on to the next story. And I get it. These are six episode seasons, and they need to get to the next story as quickly as possible. But just a few things, Yeah. Shoresy losing his shit in the locker room wasn't funny. I get it. Like, it's part of the the the as Victor would sit said you know, I had to that's how he learned how to motivate and so he's doing the same thing. But again, and I gotta give this one a room to grow. So I'm only giving it clearance, but I mean, clearance still means I I enjoyed it. I just I can't give it a fresh. It wasn't one of those things like, you know, wow. I can't believe how good this episode was. It was it was I was happy to be for sure as it'd be back, but I I wanna see more Victor. Put this this spatula down. Come on.

Speaker 6

Shame shame on you.

Speaker 1

Mhmm. And and just the lack of stakes so far. I'm I'm just not happy with

Speaker 4

with Go

Speaker 6

yeah. Go have a steak. Feeling hungry. Go have a steak. Get off your diet. You know, this episode didn't have any gaps. It it fixed what was broken in season one, and that is a ridiculous promise.

Speaker 1

Nothing was broken

Speaker 4

in season one.

Speaker 6

They, you know, I love

Speaker 8

season one. I

Speaker 6

love yes.

Speaker 1

Yes. Every everyone except the first episode, and that's because of the whole three team.

Speaker 4

I love I actually really liked the promise in season one. I thought it was very great.

Speaker 6

Of course, you would. You also took your kids to see a fake space spaceship instead of seeing these.

Speaker 7

You want

Speaker 4

you want space mountain.

Speaker 2

You tell me.

Speaker 4

I have a better chance of going on space mountain every day for the rest of my life than I do going to space.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Yeah. You wonder how many how many times did you go back to that queue to only to be disappointed?

Speaker 4

Oh, no. That's not a front. I didn't ride front. Space Mountain was like, it was quick on and off. I loved it.

Speaker 6

Yeah. Nobody would have turned you away from the shuttle. That's all I gotta say about that. Anyway,

Speaker 4

at what cost?

Speaker 6

This episode was fine. It wasn't it wasn't hilarious.

Speaker 1

So it's a clearance. Fine as a clearance. Fresh is great. Okay. Fine as clearance.

Speaker 6

Settle down. This episode was fine in terms of, yes, it wasn't like fall off the chair funny.

Speaker 7

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

No. The the the parts that are supposed to be funny. We're funny. And that's the chirping on the ice with every team.

Speaker 1

You know, I'll save

Speaker 6

the best chirping for last, but It was it was it was perfect. The every every all the on ice activity, everything from the, montage at the beginning, to the prescape, to the post gate, to the every everything was perfect on the ice. Mhmm. Yes. You don't like how he motivated the team. They they need to bring in some stakes in terms of why why shores are you so hyped about this? What the heck is going on? There's more to be discovered. There's layers. There's there's layers to the sun yet that need to be unpeeled. And we've got a few episodes ahead of us to enjoy. Yep. It it's setting the tone. In the episode, he was talking about setting the tone. So this episode is setting the tone for the season. You don't wanna blow the load in the first episode, you gotta start things slow and then slowly rev up. I mean, I don't understand what's hard to understand about this.

Speaker 1

Nothing hard. So that's why I keep it clear.

Speaker 6

Yeah. The clearance for this first episode. Oh. They got things wrong in in season one episode one. They fixed those things in season two episode one. Kudos to Kittos or whatever.

Speaker 7

Sorry. Kudos taquitos.

Speaker 1

I'm putting that on a t shirt. Kudos taquitos.

Speaker 7

Cheeto diet.

Speaker 8

Dude, I'm glad you did. It's not me.

Speaker 1

I'm I'm on the live stream. Trace says I can't believe I'm agreeing with Victor. But anyway, go on Victor.

Speaker 6

Anyway, so there you go, everybody. Get in your pickup trucks. Honk your horns. This was a good episode. And that's all I gotta say.

Speaker 8

But what was your rating? I'm sorry. I missed it in the rant.

Speaker 6

The rating was clearly a fresh.

Speaker 8

Clearly. Clearly it was.

Speaker 1

Awesome. So angry. She's trying to enter the room. She's like, awesome. You gotta wait until the episode over.

Speaker 4

Too, really.

Speaker 2

Yeah. Ten.

Speaker 1

I think it's because you said keto instead of keto.

Speaker 8

She's like that's it. I'm coming in.

Speaker 6

That's because of your stupid keto diet that you're on.

Speaker 7

Like, I

Speaker 6

don't confused.

Speaker 4

It's so far Oh

Speaker 1

my god. Ten. What's your rating

Speaker 2

for this episode?

Speaker 8

You know, I need some Montreal spice with all this steak talk. That's all I know. Okay. So oh my gosh. Okay. So what are we rating this on really? Like, is it is it are we rating it on funny? Are we rating it like, are we saying this is a comedy?

Speaker 1

You're rating it on

Speaker 6

your thing

Speaker 8

on your enjoyment

Speaker 1

of the episode.

Speaker 8

Then that is funny equals fresh. No, ma'am. What is it?

Speaker 4

Made rules about this Yeah. No. While you feel about the episode.

Speaker 8

I know. But you guys seem to be putting it the in two categories. If it makes you laugh, then you give it

Speaker 7

a fresh.

Speaker 8

Hold on. In all fairness, like mine,

Speaker 4

I I enjoyed the episode, but I why I made my point at the end is I put a lot of weight in the production value that I really enjoyed that's a push me into, not a high, but a, a fresh. I really love what they're doing at the tone. Victor is fan

Speaker 6

art and evolution.

Speaker 4

He loves it. Al sees room for growth. So we're all looking at it from different angles. Now, Tanya, you go.

Speaker 2

Oh, I thank you, Matt.

Speaker 1

Is that clear for you?

Speaker 6

Tell us what a great job the ladies did. It's in this episode and give them a high praise for

Speaker 1

by the way, just so you know, we we're doing MVPs as well or game sticks. So

Speaker 8

Oh, I had that down, but I wasn't quite sure. And and you know what? We hadn't spoke about or talked about, Shoresy with Laura Moore at the very end at the bar. There's there's that that's also happening. And there that was not mentioned. So I just wanted to make sure

Speaker 7

that It's

Speaker 6

a good thing you're it's your churning. You can mention it.

Speaker 8

That's exactly. And then I also wanted to say, I was a wee bit disappointed.

Speaker 4

Just a wee bit.

Speaker 8

Just a wee bit. That Shoresy didn't cry when he got the cup. Like, he cries for the Canada national anthem, but he didn't cry when he got the cup, like, the biggest moment in his life. Like, excitement was there, but where was the Shoresy that, like, is hitting Sanguinette and, like, holding back a tier? Because he, like, I I feel like there should have been a tear.

Speaker 7

You could uh-uh after. Yeah.

Speaker 6

I got I feel like you could've.

Speaker 8

Yeah. Right? That that should've there should've been a moment there.

Speaker 6

Close-up of a space I mean, it was a quick month it was a montage. Right?

Speaker 8

Yeah. Yeah. But I'm not gonna

Speaker 4

give you that one, Tim.

Speaker 8

Right? Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 1

Incidentally, I just I thought it was a really cool touch at the end there because you you brought up the scene with with Shoresy and Laura Moore at the bar where they're talking to each other. They show them while Matt is saying was an outer z was saying how Shorzy commits. Yes.

Speaker 7

I was

Speaker 1

like, I'll give him that. He commits. And and they they say that while they're showing him

Speaker 8

talking to committing to still Yeah. You know, trying to hit her up.

Speaker 4

Mhmm.

Speaker 1

So that was

Speaker 8

not happening. Yeah.

Speaker 7

That

Speaker 1

was kind of a neat little touch.

Speaker 8

Listen. I have no issues with the episode. It was a good episode. There was no nothing that offended me. Like, other than that, the the scene with the in the, locker room, and he was knocking away all the ice creams. I thought he went a little too far.

Speaker 6

Hey. Fish hasn't scored in how many games?

Speaker 1

Victor's ready to go punch

Speaker 8

I know, but he's a cutie patootie. So really, he can score anytime he wants. Let me see. Yeah. Like, I I had no issue really, really. Like, Yeah. There were there was that wasn't a a touchy feely moment. I get that maybe that is the way coaching is done. There wasn't anything, as Al said, that put it over the top. But there wasn't anything that really said it back either. So, again, if we're if we're putting this in terms of didn't make me laugh, there was moments but did it offend me? No. Not not, like, aggravatingly so. Or, so really, I don't I don't think that there's I don't think that there's any way to really rate this as a bad. And mclaren isn't bad.

Speaker 1

Remember, mclaren is right in the middle.

Speaker 8

Clearance is in the middle.

Speaker 1

You eat it. I love it.

Speaker 8

You eat it that day.

Speaker 4

No, fairness. I only shop clearance, but

Speaker 1

that's what I'm allowed

Speaker 2

to shop.

Speaker 8

I can't afford the

Speaker 1

new fucking inflation these days. Everything's good.

Speaker 8

Except for the yogurt, but you're not allowed to eat it. We know. Yeah, I guess I'll put it in the pocket of clearance. Oh, wow. Oh. Yeah. I I didn't

Speaker 4

see you going that way. I didn't see, hubby influencing you that.

Speaker 8

I don't know. Like, it's

Speaker 7

I think

Speaker 6

he info I think we're gonna

Speaker 7

go fresh.

Speaker 8

I was gonna go fresh. I'm I'm very a teeter totter. I, like, I feel

Speaker 7

like Matt.

Speaker 4

Like, twice.

Speaker 8

I, I feel. I feel like Matt, like, it could be a low fresh. Well, like, what's the next? One, then low fresh, high clearance, like Just

Speaker 1

three starts. So There's

Speaker 6

there's three options. I'll just mix up tiers beyond that.

Speaker 4

So, Tanya, what you no no pressure. What's your final answer?

Speaker 8

Both. A fresh clearance.

Speaker 1

Pick one. Pick one. Doesn't matter.

Speaker 8

I pick for? I just I if it goes Here.

Speaker 2

Here. You

Speaker 3

know what, you

Speaker 1

guys want it fresh? Let me Jared's probably gonna listen to this.

Speaker 8

Is is he now? Jared, I love you. I love you. I it really. I don't I was coming into it with a fresh I I but the again, there wasn't anything over, over, over the top.

Speaker 1

So clearance. Okay. Getting yes.

Speaker 8

Or maybe I can go with Matt with a low fresh.

Speaker 1

There you go. Is that

Speaker 7

what you want? Is that

Speaker 1

what you want? It's still fresh.

Speaker 6

You wanna go with your with Matt or with your silly husband?

Speaker 8

With your silly ass.

Speaker 1

Okay. I'm putting down fresh. We need to move on.

Speaker 7

Okay.

Speaker 1

Gabe. What are you giving this episode?

Speaker 4

That went well.

Speaker 8

I'm out of I'm out of practice.

Speaker 1

I want people to think that I'm influencing her in any way. If she was coming in with a fresh Then it's a fresh I

Speaker 8

was coming in. But I've been talked I've been talked to other ways before.

Speaker 1

Elizabeth, like, you know there's no money in this. Right?

Speaker 2

Yeah. There's like there's no

Speaker 4

He's now the paper, like, it's gonna go anywhere other than that piece of paper.

Speaker 7

Oh my.

Speaker 1

It's gonna go on our website. Anyway, Gabe, what do you give this, episode?

Speaker 7

So, I am one million percent with you, Al. I think it's, well, charity's sick. Wow. I just went to the end right there. And touch my rating. I'll show you why. Yeah. It's, so they have razors Shoresy has raised the standards to me in terms of, like, the whole letter Kenny universe, in terms of, like, sports shows, like, the production, the writing is so good. And I think we've been really we were really spoiled with last season and hopefully this season too later on or, like, this this was a great episode. It wasn't bad by any means. But to say that it was, like, stellar or fresh, I I would just say it was It was good. Yeah. But, you know, there was, yeah, there was, like, the, Shorzy getting so pissed at, at everyone was just out of character. And then the the commentators were it was that was a little different. They're you know, they're not actors, but either way, I think that there was just, I don't know. It was it was okay. You know what I mean? And I maybe I'm just hard to please, but, I just wish there was more, I don't know, maybe more chirping or more of the the comedy, but I also realized that they had to answer or, like, maybe this is just a setup episode. Right? It's the first episode. So maybe that's why. But I it was a good episode. I just, yeah, I wish some more things were explained. And, yeah, we got more context or a little more insight into how last season ended. And, yeah, but again, it was it was good.

Speaker 1

So you're giving it a

Speaker 7

I'm giving it a clearance.

Speaker 1

Clearance. Gabe, I'm with you. And because, you know, you you've witnessed the voting that it goes on in the Academy Awards and stuff. So I feel like you know you know better than than these medsacks here.

Speaker 4

So you're going running.

Speaker 7

Is that

Speaker 4

what you're doing? You're going there?

Speaker 7

I I know all now, you know what

Speaker 1

it is. Anyway, as as awesome. Alright. Let's move on to the game stick, Matt, who are you giving the game stick to in this episode? I had a really

Speaker 4

hard time. And and I'll be honest, out of the gate, it was Shoresy, but I I agree his his over intensity threw me off. Yeah. So I can't reward that behavior.

Speaker 7

Mhmm.

Speaker 4

So with that, there was a real across the board presence from everyone. And what stuck with me is gonna be the dynamic duo of Corey and Liam. That set up and that gimmick in the, in the stands just killed me. Like, when he was talking into his mic and, like, That and and I and I hope they keep with that one because that is a gimmick I can get behind, and I and I brings them off to the ice puts them up in front of the camera, and those two are really good together. Their chemistry is great. So I I wanna see more of that. Cool. For that reason, it's it's Corey and Liam.

Speaker 1

I love it. Yeah. Great pick. I'm with you. Shoresy would be the one who got this except for that kind of scene was a little, you know, tense and and not funny and and whatever. It is what it is. So I'm actually gonna go with Zieg because I love the interactions between her and Shoresy throughout this entire episode. And, like, she was she was giving it as much as she was taking it. I really enjoyed it. And at the end there, I really enjoyed her forgetting herself for a second there and actually complimenting Shoresy, but then turning, you know, walking it back and saying, he's still an ugly slut, but Right? And so, yeah, I really enjoyed Zieg in this episode. So I'm gonna give the game stick to her. Victor?

Speaker 6

I can't believe the ten ply snowflake behavior you're showing towards short. He he was so much more cruel and every single letter Kenny scene that he's ever been in, that you guys admired.

Speaker 4

No. He was still with well, it was clever. Funny. We should

Speaker 6

There was nothing clever. It was toilet humor. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1

It was funny. It wasn't clever.

Speaker 4

It was the

Speaker 7

most clever.

Speaker 1

And you know what? From what I remember, I don't think I ever gave Shorzy, MVPs in Letter Kenny either. I just found him funny.

Speaker 6

Some of you some of you did. Some of you did.

Speaker 4

So who's yours?

Speaker 1

Who's your MVP?

Speaker 6

The MVP clearly is the is the MVP is is the produce the best trip and that's Keller C because you know, putting a missing child inside that thing is the right thing to do. So You're

Speaker 1

giving the MVP to the letter c on Keller. Okay. Correct.

Speaker 7

Have you

Speaker 4

seen the size of that thing though? Like, yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 7

It's

Speaker 1

a big fuck off sea. That's right. Okay. Keller's sea and Victor's back to his He's in game form. He's in mid season form already.

Speaker 4

Here we go again.

Speaker 1

Four. Ten. Go.

Speaker 8

I'm gonna have to give it to my girl, nah, nah, she, her I I found her really good when, she was talking about, yeah, maybe the calendar wasn't such a great idea. But at the same time, you know, doing what she needs to do to make things work and, keeping and and trying to keep Shoresy in place Like, she was she watched the whole thing. She was pointing out Shoresy, you know, trying to keep the the guys at their their the height. And, you know, that they keep on trying to, get the asses and yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1

Alright. Not. So Gabe, Who do you have? Who are you giving a game stick to?

Speaker 7

Oh, man. I well, I was gonna say, court, like, It's tough, man.

Speaker 2

You can you can

Speaker 1

say the same as somebody else. Right? You don't have to be original. So it's up to you.

Speaker 7

Well, I was thinking Michael's just because he's so mis treated, and he does. He's he's barely killing it too, though. Like, he got some love. It needs some love. He's best goalie in the league. Mhmm. A small league with best goalie in the league.

Speaker 8

What's going on with them?

Speaker 1

Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 7

He's weird. He's always weird. Yeah. Go to. But, no. Yeah. I'd give it to Michaels. I know he did only had didn't have much in the episode, but it was, I think he needs some love. And I think he, It sounds like he's the reason that they got to where they are, or a big part of it. So, and and, yeah, I'm excited to see, the rest of the season goes with her.

Speaker 1

So on the live stream, Cassie agrees with you and she says, yes. Hey, Gabe. Yes. So, she's happy.

Speaker 8

As Sharsey knocked his stick away. Yeah. Michael stick.

Speaker 2

I don't

Speaker 1

know. He knocked anyone stick away, though.

Speaker 8

Like, Michael That's

Speaker 4

why none of us are rewarding him for his bad behavior. Here.

Speaker 1

Yeah. Well, Victor wants to reward him, but he gave it to Keller's scenes.

Speaker 4

But he didn't.

Speaker 1

So that's alright. Alright. Guys, that that that's been great. I I really missed doing this. So just gonna move on really quickly. We have a couple of quick news items. One of them is, you know, you know, we knew this day was gonna come. And, unfortunately, here it is today. News came out, that season twelve of Letter Kenny is going to be the final season of Letter Kenny. It oh, Gabe looks like he didn't know this news.

Speaker 7

So I knew that Shoresy was renewed for a third thirtieth. I didn't know this was the last season of the letter.

Speaker 4

Literally announced earlier today. Yeah.

Speaker 7

Oh my gosh.

But, yeah, season twelve is going to be their final season. After seventy five episodes and eight specials. And they've won twelve Canadian screen award. They, you know, they they had nothing else to prove, and and good for them to to go out on top. But it is sad.

Speaker 1

Over and over and over again.

Speaker 8

You know what? All all I have to say about that trailer is that you should really not smoke in the forest.

Speaker 2

With all the forest fires?

Speaker 8

No. With all the forest fires, that was the takeaway. I was like, she's smoking hot. And she's smoking. I think the forest is going down and maybe she might

Speaker 1

Katie's the reason for all the fires this summer. It all makes sense.

Speaker 8

Only love. Only love, girl.

Speaker 4

Lead by example.

Speaker 1

At New York. I know, Gabe. You got all the smoke and it was from Katie.

Speaker 8

Yeah. It was Katie. She was like

Turning it down. It was orange. Just

Speaker 7

We like

Speaker 8

to play the long game

Speaker 2

with foreshadowing.

Speaker 1

Victor's like, maybe we should submit for some awards. Anyway, that's all to say. I submitted for an award, this month, and we've been nominated by the Canadian Podcast Awards in the category of outstanding film and television series. So, yes. You know what?

Victor. Victor called it all, you know, who knew.

Speaker 4

And and I love come in Victor.

Speaker 1

Yeah. So, Yes. It's it's it's an honor to be nominated and whole, you know, the the awards ceremony. So now it's gonna happen. Because this happened last year with my work podcast. We got nominated. We need to record an acceptance speech. So, as if we're we won the award, but we won't know whether we won it until the actual award summary. So that'll be fun to do. But, yeah, fingers crossed. It'd be nice. I mean, it already it's already nice to say that we're an award nominated podcast, but it would be nice to say.

Speaker 8

Super cool.

Speaker 1

Yeah. But, yeah. So that's the news. Amazing. A bit of bad news.

So, great to be back. Hanging out with you. I love it. Let's keep it going.

Speaker 1

Yeah. I agree with you with, Matt. It's great to do these again. I had to go and dig out an old script, so I knew all the different, segments that we usually do because it

Speaker 8

See, you didn't even remember.

Speaker 1

Well, yeah, it's all written down. It's all in my script here. But anyway, Gabe, you did a great job. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm glad we were able to make work. I mean, you went through you literally jumped through some hoops to to come on because, you you live in a studio. Your wife goes to bed early, so you're actually at a buddy's house to they can join us so you're not wake you don't wake her up. I mean, it's all I

Speaker 7

felt so because I committed to it, and I didn't wanna, you know, it's day off too, and I'm there's a lot going on. So I was like, and I love the podcast. I was like, I gotta do it.

So glad you can make a work, and we appreciate also your your patronage, John, like, your And you

Speaker 4

wouldn't be the first person to join us from a hotel room?

Speaker 1

No. No. Or a car. We've had people join us from their car before.

Speaker 8

Which tornado's in the in the background? Victor.

Speaker 6

Yeah. I I I think I'll save my piece entirely for Gabe. You you've really brought it I really appreciate that, you know, un use understanding that I'm probably gonna be a fan of all the episodes. You'd kind of taken over the torch as being the antagonist in the show. So I I, you know, I I appreciate, you know, kind of coming in and being being the stunt man for me a little bit, which you're you're probably gonna get a little bit of hate which is which is fine. But you know what, Alan, Tanya, are with you there. So they're gonna take a little bit of hate as well.

Speaker 1

No, Tanya, just give it fresh.

Speaker 6

Yeah. But she's she was she was sitting on a fence. So it it, you know, she she was a bit of a push over there. Anyway, you were awesome. I think it will be great to have you back soon. And and and I think it will be really nice to have you back and review one of the Letter Kenny episodes in the future for season twelve because that'll be fun.

Speaker 1

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

Anyway, so so thank you.

Speaker 1

Ted, thank you, Tim.

Speaker 8

I So many thank yous. Trace and Liz, thank you so much for the poem at the top of the show. That was amazing once again. Thank you, Gabe, for coming out. It was a pleasure meeting you. I love the insight that you brought. I love all the points that you made. I also wanted to say that what you were talking about with the banter and the show, I I appreciate that Shoresy is actually a wee bit slower than Letter Kenny because you can be like I'm actually getting some of those jokes and and some of those chirps. Because Letter Kenny is just so fast paced and like the alphabet aerobics that they do. It's so hard. And you have to watch it several times in order to catch all of them because they go so fast.

Speaker 2

Brilliant. Brilliant. Market. I hate it.

Speaker 8

It it is good. But I I appreciate Letter Kenny or sorry that Shoresy is just a wee bit lower than that, and you can really grab all of them. And, it's just so much fun. I'm I'm just, again, so happy season two is happening again, or happening and, that we get to have homework again. And yeah, this was just a a great night. Thank you so much.

Speaker 1

Gave, last word goes to you.

Speaker 7

Yeah. I think this was so fun. I don't want it to end, and I wanna do another one. This was so cool. Really, Siri. I'm not saying that, genuinely. Thank you guys so much for having me. And I'm really I'm so sorry about the runaround before all this. You've been doing you were so patient. I was I was like, yeah, I'll do it and then just, like, ghosted and, it's dealing with a lot, otherwise. So, yeah. I

Speaker 8

At the end of the day, you said yes.

Speaker 7

Yes.

Speaker 8

And you're here. So that's what counts.

Speaker 4

And and also, in all fairness, I think you showed about thirty seconds after Tanya.

Speaker 7

Yeah. It's not like you're there. I

Speaker 4

was late.

Speaker 7

I didn't they don't know, but I was I was very late too. I was like, I think I gotta go I'm trying to get the wifi set up and, I don't know his password. It was just, so And anyway

Speaker 8

If your friend watches it too, tell him to come in next round.

Speaker 7

Yeah. I was gonna say, I'm not gonna make him watch this, and I'm not gonna say, I'm gonna give him as much crap and they're like, look, everyone else did the same thing.

Speaker 8

That's how Al did it to me.

Speaker 7

Might as well do it too. But, no, thank you guys so much. For having me on, and this is amazing. And, I really I I listen to other podcasts that are, like, I don't I don't I'm not a patreon to any other podcast, but I listen to a lot of podcasts like comedy podcasts, but you guys are I always admired the banter and dynamic that you guys have and, like, to talk about, like, your days or, like, how things went or how you guys are doing. I mean,

Speaker 1

And a lot of Disney this week. Yeah.

Speaker 7

A lot of Disney this week. Yeah. Which is great. Exciting. Alright?

Speaker 8

Hey. It's super exciting.

Speaker 7

My girlfriend and I are trying to go Disney as well. So I wanna know about the trauma. You know. Yeah. We're gonna have to figure that out.

Speaker 1

Let's stick around, yeah, stick around for the after party. You guys can talk Disney all you want.

Speaker 7

But, no, thank you guys so much. And, yeah, I know. And I think it's gonna be a good season. I I really trust Jericiso. Like, I think that, He's so as he knows what he's doing, he's always very smart. I've from what I've seen in letter Kenny, you know, again, like, like you said, like, the the cadence in letter Kenny is always very non emotional. And Shoresy, it is so much more emotional pitch changes and Shoresy's voice alone is just so much higher that, like, I think it's, I think this episode set the stage for a great season and, like, a continued successful season as we had last year too. So, yeah, last year. It's been so long.

Speaker 1

I know.

Speaker 7

It has.

Speaker 1

Awesome. And, our buddy Jay, who's in the live stream and is also our guest for next week. He said good work. Way to set the high the high bar for her first timer because he's also coming on as for his first step as a next one.
