Speaker 0
Siaso, Jersey's plate seems to have quite a lot, but Laura Moore, he's still shooting his shot. Can he keep them undefeated when the sluts are depleted? From hammering s with everything that they got. Speaker 1

What do you listen to? Speaker 2
My favorite murder podcast? Speaker 0
Taggart Dorn's podcast. The produce stand. Speaker 1
It's thirsty, Thursday. And that means we are once again hanging out with the protistan. A podcast paying tribute to everything in the universe. Now I know what you're thinking. There are many other letter Kenny podcasts out there. But this one, forgot to write a joke for this part here. So let's just move on to the next part. Speaker 1
I'm out your host and joining me in the room as always is lovely Tanya. And online, we have squarely Matt. And filling in for the traveling Victor is our buddy Trace. And joining us this week, he's in Edmonton. He's, he works in, you know what? Jay, I'm so sorry about this. I've been so busy. I didn't even write down what you sent me, and I'm I feel bad. So let me let me go look. Speaker 4
I I'm pretty sure I gave you some time there. Don't I? Speaker 0
It's been going really well. Speaker 0
Tanya, I told you should have hosted tonight. Speaker 1
He's born and raised in Edmonton. He's a die hard oilers fan, dying harder than usual this year. And a music lover, he loves to travel, and he's also looking forward to his next trip, which is to Great Britain next summer. Please make join me in making some noise for Jay. Speaker 4
I regret nothing. Speaker 1
We could restart the podcast, but let's just go with this because, it's already starting I Speaker 4
believe you know how to edit. Don't you? Speaker 1
You know what? That's a good point. I can totally do Speaker 5
that intro. It's award nominated. Alright. Speaker 0
I need to bring back the original joke of Speaker 4
The nomination goes to Speaker 1
you. Welcome to the podcast, Jay. This isn't your first time with us. You've you've joined us for egg hauls and stuff, but this is your first solo podcast. So why don't you just remind us really quickly? Where in the world are you speaking to us from? Speaker 6
I'm from Edmonton. Born and raised out here in Edmonton my whole life. Kinda lived just kind of a loser there. Kinda lived within a ten minute drive of any house I've ever lived in. Speaker 1
You know what? I'm the same. Yeah. So if that makes you a loser, I'm a loser too. Speaker 4
We're losers together. Yes. Speaker 6
It seems like everybody's from somewhere else eventually. So it's kinda rare to meet another person like me out here that's been here for entire time. So Speaker 1
Right. And you don't work in the oil and gas. That's so that's why you're not from from away. Speaker 6
Yeah. Yeah. No. We manufacture truck bodies. That's the business that I'm in. So some oil fields, some logistics, some railroad, utilities kind of all across the board. Speaker 1
Very cool. And when did you discover letter, Kenny? Speaker 6
Kind of from the from the beginning, like, from the letter Kenny, like, YouTube shorts that they released back in the day, and I think I watched the first season, maybe. And then I just kinda lost the ability. Like, I didn't have crave for a long time, and I kinda rediscovered it just at Christmas time last year. Speaker 6
then I've just kinda been All in ever since. So Speaker 1
And, I mean, I'm sure you've heard the news that, season twelve is gonna be the last. How do you feel about that news? Speaker 6
It's a little depressing, but it's a lot depressing, but it's more mostly for the fact that it's because I kinda came to it again so late. Mhmm. And I got to binge through ten seasons, and then I got to watch the eleventh season when it was released live. And you kinda think, well, this is gonna go for a long more time, and then All of a sudden, it's not going to. So I I think I was in the same boat as you guys where you said you kinda had an inkling just based on things you saw and heard and my thing this year is that, like, I hadn't seen that they were filming anything this year. Speaker 6
went Shoresy, and then they're going back to Shoresy right now. And you're kinda like, oh, where's when are they gonna fit in a season for their team there? Yeah. Speaker 1
And and when did you discover our podcast? Speaker 6
A few months after that. So probably February, March of this year. Speaker 1
Cool. And are you caught all caught up? Yep. Oh, man. That's a lot of That's a lot of awesome. I'm not honest. Speaker 0
Sorry about that. Speaker 4
You should say sorry. Yeah. That's what I was just gonna say. Speaker 1
Liz on the live stream says she feels like Jay needs extra noise after that intro. Jay, I'm so sorry for fucking with that intro. I had. It's been it's been a week. So but let's, you know, let's get going here. Speaker 0
How are you now? Speaker 1
Tonight's lineup is gonna be Tanya Matt. Oh. Al Trace and Jay will get the Speaker 1
Tanya, how have you been? Speaker 4
Last year, first to go. Gotcha. Speaker 4
So the week, I don't even know what day are we on? It's, it's been a whirlwind, work is busy. I I feel like I had some, like, late late nights at work So, yeah, it's been a wee bit crazy. Oh my gosh. I don't even know what else is happening. We had Halloween. Speaker 1
The house is a little cool. Speaker 4
Oh, yeah. The furnace broke. That's that's that adds to the the chaos of the week. The furnace, broke a couple of times and we keep on like, punching it, giving it a good old, like, Fonzarelli kind of hit and then it goes again for another little bit. Speaker 1
You're dating yourself Speaker 7
with that reference. Speaker 4
Yep. So, and then it it works for a little bit and then it stops, but then if something else happens and it starts again. So, we were kinda like, oh, do we or don't we? And then it really, really stopped this week and, woke up to, eighteen degree, very cold house. And, I don't know what that is. You'll have to ask Chad for the for the Speaker 1
Oh, for the conversion. Speaker 4
For the conversion on that. Speaker 1
It's cool. I mean, it's not it's not freezing or anything. And we've got a a fireplace downstairs in the basement Speaker 1
house from freezing, Speaker 4
but concerned that the pipes will freeze. Well, not yet. At the moment. But yeah, it's it's it's, we're coming into colder weather. We had snow this week, and freezing rain the other night. So it's definitely getting into colder temperatures. So, yeah, just kind of, trying to get help and look at YouTube videos on how to I was I was channeling Casey and was like, oh, I I could totally do this. I could I could fix a furnace. I'm like, no, I can't. So Speaker 0
Well, Kay Casey, I can attach Casey and Josh a really good moral support when you're youtubing. Speaker 4
When you're youtubing? Speaker 0
Yeah. I've jumped on Zoom calls and then when I was trying to fix my washing machine. Speaker 4
I was I was totally. Yeah. I was like, okay. This is calling this is, like, signaling to me that this light is, like, is like morris code. It's like an SOS from the furnace. And I was like, okay, I can figure this out. And I got so far. I did I did get pretty. Yeah. But then, no. Speaker 1
Awesome. Awesome to the rescue. She says eighteen degrees Celsius is like sixty five Fahrenheit. Speaker 4
Yeah. Not terrible, but it's not warm. Speaker 1
I sleep really well in that kind of Speaker 4
Oh, I I was like, solid. Yeah. Just extra blanket. Speaker 1
Dead to the world. Speaker 4
Yep. Yeah. You can get Speaker 5
your bridge ticket. Speaker 4
I know. I've I've said, you know what? If if my career if my career path, ever fails. I feel like, HVAC is going to be in my future. I that that would be following your dad's footsteps. Yeah. My dad's footsteps are is HVAC, and I feel like that would Speaker 5
be It'd probably be your father's daughter. Speaker 4
That'd finally be the man he always wanted me to be. Speaker 1
On that note, Matt, have you been? Speaker 0
I'm good. I'm good. It's been a good week. So on the weekend, we had a fun little day. So it's just my my two older guys are back with their mom. And, you know, we are we can never still. So on Saturday, we went downtown, just totally on a whim. Ended up at this really cool market. Speaker 0
an outdoor, so artisan market underneath the bentway. And the bentway is like this area in Toronto underneath our gardener express, which is our big highway that runs through the downtown core. Underneath that, even though it's falling apart, they put a market, which is kinda cool. So check that. Speaker 4
And that for falling re Speaker 0
the falling road. Walked in. I'm like, look, like, that's pillars missing chunks. That pillar's missing chunks. It's like an added risk level to the market. So I kinda dug it. But that day sort of spiraled into sort of a series on events. So we started there. Then we went up to another place called Trinity Bellwoods Park, and there was another market there and a nice playground. So we let our little guy play. And then that led to us stumbling across this diner down the road called Frankis and stopening in there. They had, like, all day breakfast and stuff. And honestly, had one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life at this place. So shout out to Frankie's diner in Toronto. Amazing bird. Speaker 4
Would you have teased me? Speaker 0
It was oh, I don't know. I don't know. It was called the Texon, actually, and it had I think it had guacamole, onions, bacon, and a whole bunch of shit on it. I think there's even a Dorito on it. It was weird, but it it honestly, the the burger itself was so on point. Like, as long as you bite into it, like, this is you know this is homemade. Like, you know they made this here. There's nothing fake about that. It was delicious. I mean, it was one of those ones where I went out of my way to tell the chef Thank you. Speaker 0
And people you need to do more of this. If you come across something that go out of your way to tell people what a wicked job they're doing too many people are so willing to bitch about things take the time to thank people for awesome things too. So I did that and then they they, like, there was, like, two guys in the kitchen. They both their head out, gave me a big thumbs up. I'm like, yeah. Thank you. So that was cool. And then today, is my oldest guy's day. So he just turned he just turned thirteen. So I am now the proud father of a teenager, as we're talking to Prisha so far he's so far he's not a dipshit. So, hoping that's the trend we'll see in these years that we're coming into, but Speaker 4
Farmones are coming What size is he? Is he still a little guy? Speaker 0
What what do you mean? Speaker 4
Like, he hasn't, he hasn't had his growth spurt yet. Speaker 0
Oh, no. He's tall. Yeah. He's already on almost my height, and I'm huge. If you see me in person, like, Speaker 1
I'm super tall. So he's about about Speaker 0
my height. And so funny side comment. So happy birthday to my my guy Riley. Speaker 4
Happy Britney Riley. Very happy. Speaker 0
Very happy. But this morning, I was with my middle guy. We just dropped rally off at school. And and he says to me, he's only ten. He goes, oh, I don't wanna be Riley's age. I'm like, why? And I kid you not. This was his answer. He goes, I don't wanna have hair on my penis. And I'm like, what? Like, who the fuck says that? Speaker 5
People without hair on there. Speaker 4
I was I was just I was yeah. Speaker 0
We were in the middle of the store when he said this. I looked around. Speaker 0
laughing so hard. I'm like, Speaker 0
How there's a lot to unpack in that stage, like, spend. And I don't know. I did I just I laughed at him. Speaker 0
There's a thing to relax. I haven't even had my coffee yet. Speaker 0
Just moving on. But that was my that was my morning and and it was a really funny, funny start. Speaker 4
Let him know that there's hope. There's landscaping out there. Speaker 0
Yeah. Well, that's what I said. I'm like, you can you can you can deal with that. And then when I tried to address it. He's like, why don't wanna hurt it? Speaker 0
ugh. This is getting away from me really quickly. Speaker 1
So circle back to this Yeah. Yeah. We'll put Speaker 0
a pin in this conversation, so you're a little bit older. Speaker 1
Wow. Yeah. I don't think I could follow that up. That's Speaker 0
That wasn't part of my my monologue, but it hit me and I had to tell it. So Speaker 1
My week's been, you know, busy, maybe not not eventful, but, busy. So let's see. Oh, well, this past weekend, we were winterizing the property because that's coming. So we had to put all the patio furniture away and collect all the leaves and stuff. And we have this big the biggest tree in the neighborhood and it's always the last to to drop all its leaves. Some like so I think I bagged about twelve bags of of leaves. Yeah. And and my and the lawn was nice and green. And today, it's like nothing happened. Like, the tree dumped another load, and now we're gonna have to bag another probably twelve twelve bags this weekend. Speaker 0
So Have you do you mow your leaves? I Speaker 1
we used to, but there's so many of them now. So what I I've got a leaf blower that then goes from it's like, the the Speaker 4
From blow to suck? Speaker 1
Yeah. The space falls, the spaceship. It goes from blow to suck, and then it mulches. And so I can fit more into into bags. But, anyway, so Speaker 4
She's gone from stuck Speaker 1
to the wall. It was a busy it was a busy weekend of just being it was nice though being outside and working outside for a bit and getting everything ready. Speaker 4
I said that to our sixteen year old, by the way, and he killed himself laughing. Speaker 1
And then today, oh, this week, we also were trying out a new singer. Our our the my co lead singer and my band she, you know, for for personal reasons, had to quit. So we're, you know, we're trying out a new singer and the new singer's great. And and eager. And and she sounded amazing or her first practice with her and, looking forward to our first gig together in December, but, fingers crossed. That's things go well, and we don't scare her away first practice. She said she'd come back. So Speaker 7
Oh, there you go. Speaker 1
Yeah. But, yeah, that's been our week. How about you, Trace? Thank you so much, Trace, by the way, for filling in for Victor to who is on his way to England tomorrow? Early tomorrow. That's why he couldn't record tonight. Speaker 5
Anglyn. Alright. To Speaker 6
Some some trains. Piggyback Speaker 5
to piggyback on, Matt tomorrow is my son Brady's seventeenth birthday. Speaker 0
Happy birthday, Brady. Speaker 4
Happy birthday, Brady. Speaker 5
And to celebrate that this morning, he gives me a call and says, dad, I think I got a flat. Speaker 5
And I'm like, okay. So I turn around heading to work, and I I go find them along the road, And he's pulled over on the side of some country highway, shoulder, gravel, and I walk over there, and his tire is gone. Like, off the rim Speaker 1
flat and shredded? Speaker 5
No. It shredded. Yeah. And I'm like Oh, no. Son, what happened? Would you hit? He goes, Oh, I think I hit a pothole or something. And I'm looking at the tire going. Speaker 1
Did it happen? Was it a pothole full of razors? Like Speaker 5
Yeah. That's what I when I was asking, I was like, Well, where was the pothole? And he goes, well, back on a college road. I said, son college road's a mile back that way. Speaker 5
drive all the way on the flat tire? He goes, I thought I'd try to make it to school. I thought I'd try to make it to school. No. I didn't think you make it at school, son. So and I was like, I had to call a tow truck and then get it over to, the tire store, and, Speaker 5
he's like, how's it looked at? And I said, well, I gotta I gotta I gotta get you a wheel and two tires. And he goes, oh, I'm sorry, dad. No. Happy birthday. So and he was like, okay. That's fine. No. I'm gonna get you some other stuff. This is this doesn't Speaker 1
All your softy trace. Come on. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, that Speaker 5
and I I was like, okay. Look. Please tell me that we learned all the things from our learning experience today because this morning was chock full of teachable moments. Yeah. And and he goes, Yeah. If I get a flat tire, get it parked somewhere. Don't stop on it. And I was like, great place to start, great place to start. But yeah. So, and so tomorrow is his birthday, and he hasn't had two new tires. Speaker 4
Happy birthday. Yes. Speaker 4
I love that story. Trace, you you I have to share my story with you because you've inspired me so much. I remember the innocence of of being a teenager and thinking I had an oil leak and that it would be cheaper for for an oil change. If they didn't have to drain my oil, they would just have to put new oil in. I was like, this is fine. It's fine that it's dripping. Speaker 1
This is before I knew her, by the way, guys. Speaker 4
Yeah. It was very young. And yeah, I thought That's a Speaker 4
I thought solid logic. They don't have to do the whole go under and take the oil out because there won't be oil there. Just need to put new oil in. Speaker 1
think they'd need to look look for what the leak was. Speaker 4
What the oil was for? Speaker 5
Out there caring for the workers. Speaker 4
I'm like, what's what's oil for? I don't know. I don't Like, just put the new stuff in. I don't need the old stuff taken out. This is it's I'm helping, and I'm making it cheaper for myself. It should be a discount. What I was looking at. Speaker 5
Thought it was like gas. Well, I'm out of oil. Time for new oil. Speaker 4
It's not apparently the way it works. Speaker 0
You're talking to two guys instead of laughing their asses off. Speaker 4
My dad did not think it was funny. Speaker 1
To you you're talking to two guys in the automotive field from Tuesday. Yes. How Speaker 6
Oh, it's been really good. It's, really busy at work lately. It's nobody did anything during the pandemic, and now everybody needs everything. So it's been Yeah. It's we're as busy as we've ever been. Speaker 6
And to make it fun, we decided to switch our ERP system at the exact same time. So, like, Oh, you went out there. Speaker 1
You couldn't you couldn't have done it when it was slow during the No. Speaker 6
No. You have to do it when you're at peak busy or else why? What are you even doing out there? Right. Speaker 0
Totally makes sense. Speaker 6
Yeah. So if any of you are thinking about doing that, I'm just here to say don't do it. Your old system works just fine. You can live with what it can't do. Don't worry about it. It's a struggle, but you can see every day it's getting a little bit better, but it's, it's been it's been fun. Let's put it that way. Speaker 1
Very cool. Well, I mean, it sounds like we've all had challenging weeks, and maybe we should get some coffee in us. And, since Victor's not here, let's go with, Victor's Speaker 2
Hey there. Wait. What are we doing again? Speaker 1
The sponsor read. Speaker 2
Oh, okay. Wait. We have a sponsor. Speaker 2
Oh, I know Eric. He's a good guy. Speaker 2
Did you know he sells coffee? Speaker 1
Yes. Of course. I Speaker 2
I think it's called diabolical coffee. Speaker 2
It's devilishly good coffee. Speaker 2
She also sells diabolically awesome swag. Speaker 2
She's got a roast for alte Speaker 2
Yeah. You can order whole bean coarse standard grind and espresso. Speaker 1
Espresso, but whatever. Hey. Speaker 2
Don't you and Tanya use cake up Speaker 2
I think he has those two. Speaker 2
Imagine if we could use promo code like Potosan to get ten percent off coffee or merge from his store. Speaker 1
Yes. That would be cool. Speaker 2
Wait a minute. I just had a brilliant idea. Speaker 2
We should get the eyeball coffee to sponsor the podcast. Speaker 2
Yes. Why have we never thought of that before? Speaker 1

Last week, we recap and reviewed episode one of Shoresy season two. Get them focused and that episode received a fresh rating from everyone except yours truly. According to our scientific Twitter poll, twenty seventy nine point four percent gave the episode a fresh rating. Sixteen point two, greed with me. And, four point four gave it a compost. This week, we recap and review episode two, season two skill versus will, ten. Have you done your homework? Speaker 1
Matt, have you done your homework? Speaker 1
done my homework. Trace, have you done your homework? Speaker 1
And thank you for that. And Jay, have you done your homework? Speaker 1
Alright. So here we go. Speaker 7
Well, don't Boris, get to the chorus. Speaker 1
We open with a cold this is a real cold open, Matt, so we will stop to talk about it. Okay? Speaker 1
We open at Eddy's. Come on. Speaker 0
I'll finish last was a little confusing. Speaker 4
Oh, it was very confusing. Right? Speaker 1
There was anyway, there's nothing to talk about. Speaker 5
It was a cold montage. Speaker 0
was a it was a new problem, though. Speaker 1
Okay. Thank you. Matt, for you. Speaker 0
Just wanna be clear. I'm going to continue. Yeah. Speaker 1
We open at Eddie sports bar and restaurant in sudbury. Eddie, the owner clears the table of Laura Moore and Shoresy who've just had breakfast. He tells Laura that she could have breakfast with him any day of the week if she wanted. She knows Laura is after a quote from Shoresy about the American team and the no show. Shoresy looks away as he speaks to Laura. She scolds him for it, but he tells her it's better that way. Speaker 7
Because you're so fucking hot. I can't look at you and focus at the same time. It sucks because I just wanna let you in so bad. Speaker 4
You've really got those walls up. Speaker 7
Look, I've made mistakes in the past. Okay. I show myself to people too quickly than I get hurt. Try for me. Alright. But you look like that, so don't be surprised to look like I wanna be underneath you. Speaker 4
I'll try to conceal it. Speaker 7
Hey, ever look at someone. They look so good. You just wanna go. No way. No. They're had that? Look at somebody who just wanna go, alright. Speaker 7
Oh, I tell the boys the sexiest thing about is your mind. And here I am breaking a sweat so I can see your browsing on tradition colors. Speaker 4
Yeah. What else do you tell? Speaker 7
I just tell them what you challenged me and make me curious, is your ideas. You know, I've never had someone expand my horizon like this. Speaker 4
I don't know what to do with you, man. Speaker 7
Laura, it's taken me a lifetime, but I finally feel alive. Speaker 4
gonna get my quote, am I? Speaker 1
Laura gets up to leave. Shorsey has one last time to give him a shot. Laura asked him to text her a quote for her story. She almost makes it out of the restaurant, but then pauses, turn to ask Shorsey, what he really says about her to the other players. Shoresy will never tell, but Laura is a journalist. She'll keep on asking. So Shoresy thinks for a moment, and then he relents. Speaker 7
You're smart, capable, rational, dependable, outgoing kind, consistent. You're a leader. And you smell so fucking good? Yeah. Hold me. Speaker 1
And we queue the title scene. So that's your cold open. Speaker 1
you think of that cold? Speaker 4
Oh my gosh. You know, like, we love I love his interactions. Like, Kiso does this so well. The interactions that he had with, camatillo Speaker 4
And, yeah, Tannis. Tannis, but I couldn't remember her other name. Like, what's the other name? You can Speaker 1
remember the harder one Speaker 4
to save. Right? Anyways, I don't make sense. Yeah. Like, the the banter that he had, and and that they had with each other. And the and he he does, like, it was one on ones and that quick, like, back and forth and the flirt so so well, like really so well that you are so invested in that relationship. And it's just it's it you you cheer it you cheer him on, and it's it's it's again, it's so funny to me because Shoresy was not a person that we were ever going to cheer for because he was always chirping about, you know, grabbing the the moms and and and doing all these weird things. And but yet you you find yourself in his corner right now and and cheering for that relationship and and hoping that that works out and and how she responds to all of like, she's just so bang on with her responses Again, I love the banter. I love the cold open. It absolutely hit all the marks. Speaker 1
She's out she's making fun of him all the time, and he he's just taking it and and, and It's it's really funny. Like, the whole year walls are coming or what is it? Your your walls are are built up or something like that. Really funny remark, Matt. Speaker 0
Yeah. I mean, the writing, when when they write for these two, the it's so poor. The the chemistry between these two is so on point. I love Jersey and the sense he's so unapologetically him Speaker 0
Yet, like, in which is works in this because he's still being an asshole to some degree, but he somehow turned it into charming, and that's a real tough skill to do. So, you could see. She's she's she's breaking down and and and and falling for these moments. And, you know, why wouldn't you? Right? But the other thing I love about this, and I talked about it a bit last year is this season more, and this is a great scene. It showing stylistically the the the evolution of the show. Like, just the framing of some of the shots, the slow movements, the, like, some like, there's a lot from a technical perspective that I that I caught in this scene that just feels very different than, Speaker 0
know, where we were with Letter Kenny Mhmm. And that we're come to with Shoresy. And this whole season, you see a lot more of that. And I and I love it. I'm gonna continue to celebrate that because I love the playfulness they're having, and it's it's feeling less sort of sketch, which letter Kenny is, and we love it for that. But it's starting to feel more I don't wanna say sitcom because I don't Speaker 0
this a sticking, but story. Yeah. They're telling stories using using the cameras, and and the look and feel of it along with the dialogue and and the delivery of it. So I I'm seeing more of that, and I'm really enjoying Speaker 0
That that what what's happening with the show. Speaker 4
And, uncle Eddie, we got to medium. Speaker 0
That's true. Uncle Eddie. Speaker 4
Well, you got to me. Speaker 1
Eddie, Eddie. Not uncle Eddie, Eddie. Yes. Speaker 1
we met Yes. We met Eddie. We we ate at Eddie's restaurant, and we met Eddie. Speaker 4
We ate there twice. Speaker 4
And he served us twice. Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1
He's a good guy and and had lots of glowing things to say about Jared who eats there a lot. That's why you know, that's why he, I guess, chose to shoot there. But, yeah, it was a lot of fun. And, Speaker 0
and that's a good point. It's, again, this is a continuation of their celebration Sudbury Speaker 0
this season too is already happening. Right? You're already seeing restaurants and other places that are all real. We went to almost all the things you see here. Speaker 4
Big thing to note about uncle Eddie's is how long he's been in business for and how that speaks volumes to how his customer service is and how good his food is. Like, oh my god. Like, the place was packed both times that we were there. Yep. And the food was outstanding. Food is right. Mhmm. For sure. Speaker 1
We we just, kind of off topic, but, we found out, recently that two d fruities, both locations in Subbury are shutting down suddenly. Yeah. I think the pandemic kind of, Speaker 4
That was a really good place. Speaker 1
It was a really great place. And so Tudy Fruses is the place where they shot the I forget. I think it's a opening of season nine. Speaker 0
Is that the one of sitting in the diner? Yes. Yeah. They're they're all sitting in the restaurant. They had the fight with Speaker 1
Yeah. They beat up Bill Speaker 6
will agree on us. Speaker 0
Yeah. Thank you. That's the guy. Speaker 1
After they beat up on Dirks, they were in the diner and then the balloon animal guy came in. So that place, unfortunately. Well, and the the picture you you you procured, Matt, you didn't steal, is from that diner. Is from that scene, actually. You know, the picture you you you got from the studio with the eyes. Yeah. Speaker 0
Is from where, tutti Furdy? Speaker 1
Yes. From two d I Speaker 0
didn't know that. Speaker 1
Scene. It's in the background of that scene. If you watch that scene again, you will see the picture that you took. Speaker 1
There you go. So you have a little piece of that history and then and sadly And Speaker 4
and when you say picture, you mean he has a portrait Speaker 1
Yeah. It was it was hanging on the wall of today. Speaker 4
He has a framed picture. Yeah. A framed portrait or whatever or, well, yeah, poster. Speaker 1
So, yeah, this scene is great. It was great to see Eddie's restaurant. Matt, I know what you know exactly what you're saying. Oh, here here he is. So he's showing off. So this It's Speaker 0
great for podcasts. Speaker 1
Yeah. It's great for an audio podcast, but but for Jay and Trace, Matt was allowed to take this home. Yes. If you watch that scene again, you will see that picture hanging in the background, of, tutti Frutti. Anyway, Speaker 4
for some unknown reason, Matt has it. Speaker 0
I had to show that on the audio only. Speaker 1
I I know what you're saying, Matt, and I had the same observation watching this, back A lot of letter Kenny was it's not set cameras because the camera is always moving slowly, but it's set pieces where Speaker 1
They don't move. They're always in the either in front of the produce stand or behind the on the porch, behind the the railing, or in the kitchen. There isn't a lot of shots of them moving around and doing Right? And in Shoresy, you see a lot more of that. And, and even, especially in this episode here, I noticed it, and and I'll bring it up in in in a few scenes later. But, Yes. For sure. Uh-uh, direction wise, photography wise, they are they are trying a lot of different things in this. Trace? Speaker 5
I've made no secret, and it's quite well known that I am president of Laura Moore fan club. I love that they open with the scene, and the best part about it is a Everything Shoresy's saying is a line. Speaker 5
I mean, just a a dad in the wool tested in true line. And he's in but the thing is, and he's saying it all ironically, but he's also saying it very sincerely. Speaker 1
Yes. Oh, well put. Exactly. Very sincerely, but, yeah. Speaker 5
I mean, everything he's saying about, you know, you know, I built walls around myself and all that stuff. And, you know, it's like, oh my god, dude. All of it's aligned, but it's there's such a sincerity that, you know, it's like, my oldest son said, if he goes, when you're not good looking, make them laugh until they forget how old you are. Speaker 5
She she laughs and and she's so entertained by it. Speaker 5
And, you know, And it ends it with, you know, Shoresy actually being somewhat sincere from his heart. And I love just the way that scene is shot Mhmm. Because Not to be crassier and sensitive, but I hate it to see Laura go, but I love to watch her walk away. Speaker 0
Ended ended it on a line, Adrian. Speaker 1
I will put. Awesome in the live stream says Shoresy practices radical radical truth. Which is, you know, for sure. Jay, what did you think of that scene? Speaker 6
love that they went back to that couple again as the the cold open for the second episode, like, just to get them in their by play back on screen, like, it's you slide into it like an old pair of gloves. Right? Like, you just love to see them go at each other, like, that. And I I totally get Trace's point where it's, like, he's just spitting game the entire time, but, like, it's hard to it's, like, there's no ill intention with it, and you can just see that shit eating green on his face the whole time. So I I like to I like to see them I don't know. Like, anytime those two are on the screen together, it's just magic. Speaker 6
My like, the the parting shot, how he described her to others. Like, if any lady ever heard that about herself, like, I can't imagine that that wouldn't work. Right. Yeah. Speaker 1
No. It's it's It's a Speaker 6
line, but I think that that one actually would hit pretty hard because that was about the purest thing I've ever heard somebody say about somebody else. Mhmm. Speaker 1
The sincerity by the truth. Yes. It's it's it's all there. Yeah. Speaker 6
Absolutely. And I think that my favorite part was the nontraditional bra color because I just thought that was such a funny line. Speaker 0
And and, you know, every single person immediately looked, like, the. Like, you didn't oh, yeah. Yeah. Right. It's in traditional. Yeah. Speaker 6
And then you can kinda see like, it's, like, showing all, like, some purpose. You're kinda, like, excellent. They set that up fantastic. Yeah. Speaker 1
Awesome. Alright. Let's move on to scene one coming out of the, opening credit coming out of the title, we get a montage of the sluts working out, set to the motivational words of Shorzy. Speaker 7
Let's pump some blood into those pipes here, boys. Let's goin' out. Let's do some Arnold Press. Speaker 7
put the half rep. Goblet squats. Hey, ever try a goblet squat l sack. Let's do some power man, if you did a couple more calf raises, you'd win a fundraiser. They would try a Swiss ball wall squat. Let's do some renegade Road. Cross body hammer curls, a come talk to me if you really wanna fill those buys up flood. I think you mean hypertrophy a fucking idiot. Maybe if you did a couple more wrist curls, you wouldn't face off. Let's do some sculpt crushers. Let's do some widowmakers. Let's do some zotman curl. Bulgarian split squats, say you ever try a bulgarian glute smash? Put a sweater on fish tight clothes at the gyms for broad. Let's do some woodchalk. Cable rope one down. Take them. Talk to me if you really wanna fill those cries up with blood. We ain't drop sets? Power acts that way. First one to leave a fish, me. If you did a couple more super sets, it'd still be tough. Wanna gay. Forget the cool down here, boys. It's everybody cool down here now. Speaker 1
Sanger interrupts Shorzy's slut training. To inform him that Matt wants to see them. So going to scene two cuts in that meek, Zig, Shoresy and Sanger walking through the halls of the arena. This is, again, a walking shot where they're going through the halls. Like, I'll, it reminds me of, like, doctor house, so you should do that a lot. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Walk kids through the hallways. And like, almost every episode, there would be at least one of those shots. Sanger doesn't oh, they're they're talking about, oh, yeah. Sure as he's incredulous about what he's just heard. Sanger doesn't like it one bit. It turns out JJ Frankie, JJ's getting his own calendar. Shorzy says, if, JJ Frito JJ gets his own calendar. He's gonna throw himself in front of a bus as he offers to drive. Sanger questions why they need a new another calendar. He tells them they need to raise five fifty thousand dollars if they wanna host the senior, national tournament. And so far, they've only got twenty thousand. So Shoresi says they need Frankie focused on the Yanks. Now it agrees that they need everyone focused on the final three games. If they want that record, She asked Jersey if she knows where the sluts what the sluts are doing right now. And we cut to a musical montage set to the song, the kingdom by Gothbabe, beautiful, lingerie clad women beckoning the sluts to their respective rooms. And and, hey, those women have names. Okay? Goody's girlfriend. She's Brit, played by Celeste Ziegler, and Dola's girlfriend is Melody, played Melodi, played by Emily McGarryl. Cut back to the hockey arena, Shoresy assures not that he'll get the sluts focused. So, no, Sorry. No back to then back to the Frankie discussion. He's got the more most goals in the no show. He's on top of the world. That's only that not very that is not very concerned with his focus. They'll only need him, in the afternoon anyway for the calendar shoot. Frankie's following is getting really big. Shoresy says it's because they're on a twenty game heater. But Frankie's fans, they're not there for the w's. Speaker 3
Do you know what a bear is? Speaker 3
Yeah. What's a bear, Shoresy? Speaker 7
Fucking yogi, pattington, and poo. Speaker 3
The other kind. Gummy? Speaker 4
You don't know much about Speaker 3
the gay community, do you? Speaker 7
Me? Oh my god. Why would I know anything about the gay community? Fucking honeydickin broads only. My guy. Fucking honeydickin only broads. Same. Speaker 3
In the gay community, a bear is a larger, often harrier man who projects an image of rugged masculinely. Speaker 7
Why would you be talking about gummy bears? Speaker 3
Frankie being a larger harrier man. Has garnered the attention of the sugary gay community who are offering a large sum of money for a calendar exclusively of Frankie. Speaker 1
Sanger's concerned. This is gonna dev divide the room. Not assures him. It won't. Shoresy still can't believe that with a calendar full of strip stripped down and greased up hockey players, All the gay dudes want is Frankie. And that doesn't know what to tell him. They were they just weren't sexy enough. Maxine cut to the laughing Buddha, the sluts are talking about Frankie's calendar. They're having a hard time understanding it as well. While they discuss it, Frank, sitting there oblivious stuffing his face with food. Their cat their chat, sorry he's interrupted by Pam, who brings hitch a Martoony and compliments him on his eye mother earth band t shirt. Hitch and Pam talk about their favorite Canadian bands best albums like scenery and fish by I Mother Earth. Great album, fluke by Rusty. Amazing album. And honorable mention to Sloane's one cord to another, I'm I'm wearing their shirt, by the way. Tanya and I went to that concert, and it was amazing. Pam reminds him that Alantis online and sportsnette's jagged little pill also happened. Hitchcock is intrigued. He asked Pam if she'd like to come over to play some tunes. She turned him down gently saying, She knows what Slice listened to and walks away. Shoresy's still on about Frankie's calendar saying he could he he he won't let this bother him, but, Not fooling anyone at the table. Shows he reminds us less that they've gotta focus on the yanks. No more not not one more word about the calendar. And then we cut to Shorzi Ruffing Beer League, where Corey and and Maliam are playing, and they're chirping him about the calendar. Speaker 7
That calendar is gonna fall around for the rest of your life. You dump fucked. Speaker 8
Where did I go wrong, so Speaker 7
Well, it's a good thing about reffing your beer league boys. At least I see it can get much worse. Yeah. Did you check your dick back Speaker 8
between your legs for that too? Speaker 7
That matter, Corey, your mom will still find no way to grab it. Speaker 8
Don't worry, bud. This free ten mid December in Northern Ontario didn't stand out at all. Speaker 7
Glad to hear Liam Don't worry. Speaker 8
No one's calling you Jersey Shores. It get weird at all having one of the boys grease you up. Nope. No? Didn't think what have I been doing with Broad all these years? This is terrific. Speaker 7
Well, it's only gay get hard. Speaker 7
Yeah. Not much told me, Corey. What? It didn't you tell me if you keep your socks on, it's not gay, something like that? Fuck you, Shorzy. Dog shit call. Speaker 8
The Young's the cone for that record shortly. Speaker 7
Liam, can you just hurry up and finish this game? Your mom's still waiting for me to come with a warm wet towel. Speaker 8
Fuck you, Shoresy. Speaker 7
Fuck you, Liam. Your mom carved your initials into my bed frame. How am I supposed to explain that to Cory's mom? Fuck you, Shoresy? Fuck you, Corrie, your mom's Techs are so full of spelling mistakes. I can barely figure out what time she wants me to come over. Speaker 8
Fuck you, Shores. Speaker 7
Liam, did you know your mom calls are mid or wet wallets? Fuck you. Boys just tell your moms to leave me alone. I'm not getting matching tattoos with them. Hope the yanks fucking toss you, Shorzy. Don't worry to bend the yanks, boys. Speaker 4
Okay. We just have to pause there Speaker 4
Okay. That whole banter between Corey and Liam and Shoresy, I could not stop thinking about when the the actors were telling us that they ran lines with their mom. Speaker 4
I was like, oh my god. Speaker 4
Like, how? How do you even that whole banter back and forth. Like, they had to do that with the boys. And, oh, my god. Like, can you imagine in being twenty one or twenty however old they are, they My mom, Speaker 0
my mom would never read that. She would stop and she, like, Matthew, you can't be doing this. Speaker 1
Yes. Yeah. The moms are are saying Shoresy's lines. Speaker 4
Shoresy's lines. Yeah. Yeah. And they're saying that to their mom. Mhmm. Right? Oh my god. Too funny. Speaker 1
I love it. Okay. Well, I've got thoughts about that scene too, but we'll we'll we'll I'll hold it to the end. Scene five, Shorsey and Sanger are back at Nat's office. She's worried about the yanks. They've been right there with them all year. They're big and they're fast. They battle, sanger responds. The bulldogs are bigger and faster, and they're three and o against the yanks. And that says it's, not their skill she's worried about. It's their will. She says the real battle for hockey supremacy that is best versus best is the Americans versus Canadians and the men's game, women's game, and kids. Sandra says, but Canada's the best country at hockey. Not responds, but the yanks are right there. Mig says Americans have to be the best at everything. They're obsessed with with it. Trace, do you have any thoughts on that being the only American here? No? I know you Speaker 5
you know, it's American hubris. Speaker 1
Z guides that, Canada is the only thing standing in the way from them being the best at hockey. Speaker 3
Which brings us to my point of apprehension. They wanna be the best fucking bat. For they started sending their kids to hockey schools up here. Get their players on our level. Now the programs are just as good down there. Some better. Speaker 7
Had a washier mouth out with soap. Speaker 3
Shattuck, the National Development Program, Total Pack to Hopkins. The average American player is just as good as the average Canadian now. Some better. Speaker 1
Sure is the argues that Notre Dame in Saskatchewan made Wendell Clark. They'll never make one of him down south, saying our ads, they may never make one of him again anywhere. Production note, Wendell Clark, former NHL player from nineteen eighty five to two thousand. He was drafted by the the the Toronto May Police, and he played most of his hockey but also, in Toronto, but he also played in Quebec, New York Islanders, Tampa Bay, Detroit, and Chicago. But he's one of the most popular tournament beliefs ever. In fact, I bet you Matt knows who Wendell Clark is. Speaker 0
So I I've I have a story Oh. On that really quick side production production note. I met Wendell Clark years ago when I was a kid. I actually got his autograph, which at some point, I lost. That's unfortunate. But My so I think Dave Elliot. Does that sound familiar? Yes. Speaker 1
Dave Ell is a defense Speaker 0
team. Okay. That goes sports. Right? You know with me. My one of my closest friends' mothers was friends with Dave Vallett when he played for the leafs years ago, and we got invited out to a team practice, one time. So we sat in the stands, watched the practice. And when the practice was over, Alec came over to the side and waved me and my buddy down and my brother, and said, wanna meet the guys and brought us into the dressing room. They were all hanging out. Speaker 0
We got we got to meet the entire team. Of whatever the year that was a long time ago. Wendell Clark being one of them and why that stood out is because I remember we were joking around. They gave us some pox, We're just laughing. All of a sudden, I turn around. I hear some yelling. Wendell Clark has my older brother over his head and dunked him into a garbage can. Speaker 0
don't know what he did or what he said, but one thing led to another. And, it was really satisfying because I don't didn't get along with my brother. So it was really fun to watch. So that memory is a core memory for me now Yeah. Watching Wendell Clark, dunk my brother in a garbage can. So Speaker 1
The one of the the unique things about Wendell Clark and we'll move on, I promise just one last thing that he was a really good player, like, first round draft pick, for for Toronto and everything, but he was also the kind of player who who will fight. Like, he will drop the gloves and and want could win a fight So he wasn't just a skilled player. He was a skilled and tough player, and that's why Toronto made believes fans loved the guy because he he did it all. So anyway, Back to Shorzy as he gets all choked up talking about Wendell Clark, that brings him back to the issue at hand. The sluts have focus issues. And the Sue Hunt will be coming land sea and air. If they lose a game, Shoresy assures her, they will never lose again. Nat says good. Zig changes the subject by asking, why the gyms are always late? And we cut to the prison where there's a heated game of reach for the top taking place. The inmate quiz master is played by Matthew Ellis. You knew that, Matt. Alright. Speaker 0
I did. I have that on my production notes here. Speaker 1
Okay. So If that name sounds familiar, it's because Matthew is the production designer on both Letter Kenny and Shoresy, and he's Danny Alice's brother-in-law. Speaker 1
So the quiz master is rhyming off question after question, and one team is answering all the questions correctly. That team is made up of our old buddy Phil. You may remember him as the tough guy from season one of your Shoresy, who, who, Shoresy gives the potty kiss to. And three other inmates. One of the inmates is played by the show's, second a d or third a d. Speaker 0
I think it's second a d. Speaker 1
A j Zolt Zoldy, and he was our handler when we were at, Speaker 0
he was the one who designated us the superfans. Yeah. Speaker 1
He was the one who's taking us around and got to get him on the podcast. He's amazing. And another play, played by Shorzy's second AD named Mo. Now, okay. Speaker 1
gonna fall on my sword fall on my sword. When I watch this the first dozen times, I thought that was a Paula Chetti brother. While we were because when when the camera pans to him, he's got this weird smile on his face and his eye so he looks like one of the Paula Cetties. Right? While I'm watching Latania last night, she's like, oh, that's Mo. Like, No. It isn't. It's one of the Paula Cetties. He's like, oh, looks like Mo. Now Tanya's got a face blindness issue. So I, of course, said, no. It's one of the Paula Cettie brothers. Speaker 4
And I, of course, said, oh, okay. Speaker 1
Then today, I'm writing out my notes for this for today's episode. And Matt, texts me on our messenger chat. And he said, I think that's Mo in the prison. And I'm like, no, it isn't. It's one of the Apollo Jetty brothers. Like, you sure? I'm like, Yeah. Cause it's gotta be because he look at him. Like, he looks like and right. And so Matt also, I think, said, okay. If you say so, Speaker 0
but No. I said I said, I said, I think it's Moe, but maybe he's portraying Apachete, Speaker 0
one of the members of the family or something was what I interpreted. Okay. Speaker 1
Maybe he's a there's a third brother or something. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, because I swear to god when we were there and we saw the the the cost in the costume truck, Speaker 1
thought I saw one of the jumpsuits said one of the orange prison jumpsuit had polachete written on it. So that's why. Speaker 4
Maybe he is a polachete. Yeah. Speaker 0
Maybe he's a polachete. You could Speaker 4
be But he's not the polachete. That are in the Speaker 1
So whether he is or not, it yeah. Speaker 1
He's maybe he's family, but anyway, it's That Speaker 4
would explain the facial expression. Speaker 1
The reason it's such Speaker 1
The reason, Tanya and Matt said it's Mo is because while we were on base camp and we were being taken around, one of the the second ADs. His name was Mo, really good guy, like, very happy, go lucky. Really awesome took us around, showed us around, and, we got to know him really well. And it's him in in that in that scene. So I I you guys were right. I was wrong. Speaker 0
You could quote it. Speaker 4
math. Yes. And now we have a recording Speaker 1
of it. You can clip that and use it whenever you need it. Alright. So And and that was all, I was set straight by awesome because after a while, I started doubting myself and I and of course, when whenever in doubt got awesome, and she's the one who said, no, you idiot. That isn't a problem. Speaker 4
Thank you awesome. Speaker 0
No. Awesome. It out. Speaker 1
Yes. That was Moe. By the way, the team of inmates, for that quiz game, they were called baroque Obama. Their opponents. That was the name of the team. Their opponents who weren't able to answer any questions were the gyms. And, their team name was the earl earl quiz. So fun fun name there for the quiz teams. Anyway, next scene. Back at Shoresy's apartment, Shorzier arrives to find Goody and Dolos standing there topless. Then, out of Dolo's room emerges Melody, But Shoresy notices there's a second woman in his room getting dressed. Shoresy asks him, did you have two of them at the same time? He did. Shoresy's impressed. But then he asks if the women will be there tomorrow because it'll be pretty tough to focus on the yanks when you're looking at boobies. Dolo, doesn't understand. Shoresy says it's no wonder the slugs don't have any legs in the third period when they've already played a period between the sheets. He implores them to get some focus here. As Shorzy speaks, Brit emerges from Goody's room with a second woman as well. They bit each other farewell and the second woman leaves shortly, once again, can't help but be impressed at Goody's threesome. Hitch emerges from the bathroom between Goody and Dola's room. He was just in there listening to He was being real quiet so they wouldn't know where he would where he was too. He's really proud of both of them for doing so good as what they did. Dolo, thanks Goody, but asks where his girlfriend Bethany Don was. Hitch said she didn't even know his real name. He's looking for something a little deeper than that. Charlesy begs the three of them to get out of it, get it out of their systems now. It's gonna be pretty, tough focusing on the yanks when they're looking at Virginia. Or virgin vagina, I think you said. Cut to Frankie's photoshoot as Frank says, goodbye to Cassandra, Nado on on his phone. Matt and me wonder if he looks gay enough during the photoshoot. Ziga says the bears think he looks good and gay naturally, so they probably shouldn't coach him. Just in a knock, there's a knock on the door. They ask Frankie who it is, and it's his girlfriend. The girls think it's Cassandra Nadeau, but it isn't. It's Rev, She's a Canadian singer and songwriter from Montreal, Quebec, and that wonders how he does it. Me reminds reminds her that Kibekwa stand by their own. Nazis Frankie repeating his destructive pattern. Next scene, Peppy Panini's fish is on a date with Alice Shoresy walks by, sees them, and then walks in. Speaker 7
What the fuck do you think you're doing? Why? Why? Why you stop scoring game, but you got lots of time for chit chats. Speaker 9
Are you serious? Speaker 7
Which I had more time for chit chat? Speaker 9
Shorothy, I'm third on the team in points. Speaker 7
Oh, yeah. How many did you score last game? Speaker 9
Zero. In the game before that. Zero. In the game before that. Zero. In the game before that. Zero. Speaker 7
But you got lots of time for chit chats. Speaker 1
A fish asked, well, what the hell happened to senior will shit hockey? But they're arguing is interrupted by Michaels who was sitting there listening the whole time eating alone. Speaker 8
It used to be senior railroad hockey. Now it's something different. Now we have a chance to do something. It's never been done before. Speaker 0
Think about it, Fish. You wanna be the best team in the league this year, or do you wanna be the Speaker 8
best team in the league ever? Speaker 1
Shorgy just stands there staring at Michaels for a beat, and then he goes in on him. Speaker 7
What the fuck are you doing? Speaker 7
the middle of the afternoon. Speaker 0
Is that not okay? Speaker 7
Well, it depends who you ask. Speaker 0
What do you mean? Speaker 7
it was me sitting there eating solo paninis in the afternoon, I might be a little bit worried. I'm worried about what? That I'm a fucking loser. Speaker 7
should just got this to go. Why you'd still be by yourself eating Paninis? I see. Got it, dad. Speaker 1
Just end shortly. Here's commotion outside the restaurant. Someone yells. Let's go. Shoresy goes outside to see what's going on, but not before informing Michaels that people are saying he's acting weird. Michael's asked Shoresy what he thinks. Shoresy answers goalies are always weird. Then he steps outside to see the sue hunt all running in unison down the middle of the road. Michaels comes out to join him. The sewer in are in a day early to prepare for the Bulldogs. Michaels thinks that's a bit of overkill for senior well shit hockey. Cuts in that, Sanger and Shores at the arena looking down at the Sue Hunt, who are all standing at the bet on the bench, just staring at the ice. Speaker 3
Not to them, it isn't. To these dudes, this is it. Speaker 7
Fuck me doing? Peak performance Speaker 10
imagery. What? Visualize my dude get mentally prepared. Speaker 3
I told you they're becoming ramsay and air. Speaker 10
Summer down. So while our guys are out there thinking about us, reach for the top. Speaker 7
Gonna loves chicken. Speaker 10
The Sue Hunt are here thinking about beating us. Speaker 1
The camera pulls away from the hunt who just keeps staring without moving. Speaker 3
See anyone you don't recognize? Speaker 7
Well, I see three guys. I've never seen with the Sue hunt before, and I recognize all three of Speaker 3
Yep. They loaded up. Speaker 10
Is that Matt Delaney? Speaker 3
That's him. First round pick, three years in the show, three stints in the player's assistance program. Speaker 10
even know what for? Yep. That's pretty schnurr. Speaker 3
A thousand games in the show, another couple hundred in the minors, and now he's here. Speaker 3
Veteran presence. Speaker 7
I can see that guy from the moon. Speaker 3
Half a season in the show, no one would bite him so he quit. Speaker 7
A fucking loser. Speaker 3
They wanna spoil this horse so bad. They came in a day early to get focused. Speaker 7
I bet their broads couldn't wait to get rid of Speaker 3
Americans have to be the best at everything. They're obsessed with it. Speaker 10
only thing standing in the way of them being the best at this. Speaker 3
Which brings us to my point of apprehension. They wanna be the best fucking bag. Speaker 1
And we fade to black. And before we begin, just a really quick production note, Matt Delaney is played by Frederick Wah, he's the son of Patrick Wah. Brady Schner played by Neil Clark and Dale Palmer played by Alex Penner. Alright. So discussion time. We are going to start just talking about a no ratings in Tanya. You're first. Speaker 4

I'm not weightlifting guy. There's a difference between sports guy and are you a weight lifter? Yeah. Speaker 1
J's a sports fan. Speaker 4
Okay. So then the next question is this peak per formats imagery. Is that a thing? Speaker 1
Yeah. That's a thing. Speaker 5
That is a thing. Speaker 4
Okay. I don't know Speaker 5
how bunk it is, but sure. Speaker 4
I have to ask about these things because I do not know. Speaker 1
Awesome says no one in the Zoom would know the answer to that. Come on now. Speaker 4
Okay. So things that I took away from, this episode, Zig's earrings. Oh my god. During the, calendar talk, they were in they were they were beautiful. Like, all the way to I was distracted Speaker 1
I didn't notice, but Speaker 1
they would be Victor's MPP. Speaker 0
not gonna lie. I noticed them as well. Speaker 4
Those were amazing. Could never pull them off myself. My ears are not strong enough. I would need to do some weight lifting, ear lifts I don't know if if there's a term for that. Speaker 1
They're called loblifts. Speaker 4
Loblifts. That's what I would need to do in order to pull those off. But anyways, Yogi, paddington, poo, the only bears he knows. I love the, not trying to explain to him what a bear was. Laughing Buddha in the episode. Speaker 1
That's right. Yes. Speaker 4
We sat at that table. Speaker 1
That exact table. Speaker 4
That exact table. Like, total flashback. Love it. Love it. Love it. The pizza is amazing. The salad we I think we been there, like, four times. Speaker 4
We've been there quite a Speaker 1
bit now. One of the benefits. Speaker 0
Sitting at that table is a complete fluke because we went there prior. We sat outside, but then when we went back the was it the last night we were there? Speaker 1
The last night. Yeah. That picture Speaker 0
That was just us on our own. We went and sat there. And, yeah, when I talked up, I'm like, that wasn't us, we said Speaker 4
And when we took the kids, we went there again. Is that good? It's just, oh my god. It's so freaking good. So laughing Buddha I I just I I smiled. I beamed when I saw it. I'm wondering if the the hitch and Pam that banter and that little moment that they had, whether that's going to be a thing. Speaker 1
Oh, you gotta think so. I mean, remember in season one, how how mean Pam was to all of them, especially hitch. And now she's, like, com complimenting him on his t shirt and stuff. And she not once did she tell him to put his giblets in So, yeah, I think Speaker 4
And and and hitch hiding out in the bathroom and, supporting his, his team in in Yeah. Speaker 0
That's what he was doing. Speaker 4
But looking for something deeper, and then flash it like thinking about that conversation that he had with Pam and whether or not that might be, something. Because why else show it? There's gotta be something that progresses there. Oh my goodness. Again, I I mentioned it already, Corey and Liam. Killed myself laughing, couldn't stop thinking about, the conversation of him saying that he ran lines with his mom. Peppy paninis. You know, I I'd eat at peppy paninis alone. Just like Michaels, I have would have no shame with that. It is that good. And I yeah. It it's a it's an amazing place. We've ate there several times now too. Oh my gosh. Fish is dating Alice. That was, interesting. Speaker 1
Well, I didn't I think Speaker 4
that just kinda set them. Speaker 1
What I didn't leave in the clip, but at at the end of that clip, she says, how's Goody? Because in season one, Alice actually hooks up with Goody. So that that's kind of a little joke that I I I should have left in, but I didn't yeah. Speaker 4
Why do I now remember that? When? She was with Goody? Speaker 6
Yeah. She so she's the girl that was dancing at the bar that Sanguinette was staring at when Phil cut them off. Speaker 4
Oh, she's like a little bunny is she. Speaker 1
Mhmm. Yes. She's a hockey, a punk bunny. Yeah. Speaker 4
Hawk bunny. That's what it is. You gotta kinda wonder what the storyline is gonna be with Michaels. They they've kind of referenced him a couple of times now being Speaker 1
Goldies are weird. Speaker 4
Being weird. And, now, you know, and he had his moments in the first season, you know, certainly with his dick out. And, you gotta kinda wonder where they're going with him now. You know, kind of sitting there off in the corner by himself and yeah. You kinda have to wonder what that and that's gonna be. And the Americans, the Sue Hunt. You know, I remember seeing uniforms in the, in the, costume trailer. And, wondering what that was gonna be all about. And, here we are. We're we're getting to see, how that plays out. So looking forward to, what happens next? Speaker 0
Yeah. I'm gonna echo a couple things. But first, I I wanna go back to that locker room scene where they're all working out. Again, trying to celebrate some of the production side. That whole sequence to me was Unbelievable. I think and I was trying to count I think I think I counted thirteen different angles or shots that they used There was probably a few more. I think a couple of zoomed in or out, but from the same position. So that's a lot for them to take on in in any setting. So you know, the direction there from tyranny and the work by Butry and his team to to set all those up. And then not to mention the editing and how tight it was because if you listen to the cadence of how fast yours is going through those different runs, it it just it it bounced really nicely throughout that whole scene. So Big shout out to that scene. I loved how that played out, and it gave us some real good fun banter to to take us through that journey. So I really enjoyed that. The whole, Frankie's a bear thing killed me. I I I I've I mean, I've got so rule, really close friends, who are gay, and I'm very familiar with that term bear. So as soon as it came up, I was, like, I'm really curious to see how Shorzy plays out on this, and and he didn't disappoint. The Yogi Paddington and poo line was, to me, the line of the episode that slayed me. I I was dying when he said that. And just watching him trying to come to grips with why Frankie. Right? Every reaction he had and the weird little cutaways to Frankie, like, just doing stupid, like, just eating his food or playing with his phone, like, so oblivious to what was going on. And, like, he didn't give a shit, but sure he's just completely inundated with why why Frankie. That that whole Arched through this episode really hit hard with me, and I I really enjoyed that. Speaker 4
Has Frank ever talked Speaker 1
Yeah. He'll say a couple of things here and there in French. But if we remember when we interviewed Max, he's not French. Like, you know, he he has no accent. So they the I think they keep him his dialogue to a minimum on purpose. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, basically, they have to have him saying qua, like, what? Like, because if he says anymore, he'll give away his non Frenchness. Right? Speaker 0
Yeah. The the other one I noticed on this was, so the Corey and Liam, trips with Shoresy on the ice. I love these again. I think this takes us back to what Shoresy was. Right? So it's a it's a it's it's like, don't forget this is the show that you knew. Right? Now you've got a different perspective of him, but he's still there. So the those little nods are just nods back to what we what we came from with Letter Kenny, and now we're seeing him in this space. So Speaker 1
there's a great, a great reminder in in the live stream, awesomes, reminding us in Letter Kenny season eleven. Shoresy starts humming the teddy bears picnic at Frankie in the car park when they do that standoff. So another kind of bear reference at, at So Speaker 0
they were already playing that one out. I love Speaker 0
No. It's so good. The one that said I'd show back the the hitch time story line. So what I like about this season is, while they're they're all ready from a character's side developing a number of stories, whether they stay with them or not, they're setting themselves up. So you've got you've got Sanger and Me, you've now got Laura and and Shorzy, you've got hitch in this Pam thing building. Like, there's a number of different, storylines that are that they're playing around with. And and I imagine some will stick, some will not end of season three and beyond, but they're feeling them out. Right? They're like, how is this working? How is this hitting on screen? So I like that they're giving them different, different lines. And the hits, they needed a character who wasn't a dog. Right? And would we have guessed it was hitch ID? Probably not. But he's becoming that. Right? He's definitely the the one that's sitting back. He's not just going out looking at looking for a thing, I think he can score. He he made a couple points. Like, I want something deeper than that. And he's playing the long game kinda like Shoresy's doing with Laura Speaker 0
Around, you know, just just keeping at it and and hoping for the best. So I I I liked Adam, I'm curious to see where that's where that's going. And the last thing I'll I'm I'll gonna rebut. I don't I thought sure because he was way off base going at Michaels for him eating that panini. I didn't understand that, Owen. Speaker 0
If I have a hundred percent eating in restaurants, by myself and enjoy it every minute, and I will do that unapologetically. And the factory's like, you're gonna take it to go. Everybody gets food to go. Yeah. Like, You no. No. These no. That was so off base just being a dick in that moment, but it made me laugh. Speaker 1
When I was in Halifax for work, I sat down and had a lobster dinner by myself. Speaker 1
And Treetings is laughing at you. I was sitting there with my bib and I was eating. I was loving the love It's Speaker 1
Yeah. Who loves her? Speaker 4
It's even sadder. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. That's going a Speaker 5
bit ago. I mean, yeah. Did you put out for yourself? Speaker 4
That's a nice dinner. Speaker 1
That's between me and my right hand. Alright. Matter you done. Speaker 4
So I I have question. Speaker 4
And that that that basis from or the Mhmm. Anyways, do you think that the chirps that he has with Liam and Corey are legitimate, like, is he doing that with the moms, or is he just chirping just to throw them off their Speaker 1
same, I mean, same questions we were asking back in letter Kenny when he was doing it with, with, Riley and and Jonesie. And and it was it was hinted that back then. It was true. So Speaker 0
Yeah. I mean, I would Uh-huh. I would say the validation we got on the rally and Joadzee was when I don't know. Speaker 1
The text messages from the moms, have you seen Speaker 0
Well, the that. But even in Shoresy, season one, I think it was some of them one of them called him out. I think it was one of the, one of the girls, like, me or Zig or someone, and they're, like, they're wheeling. I was, like, no. No. They were wheeling me, but, like, I think they were Right? There was some conversation in that that really felt like he was validating it, but not that NASA, he was in the one engaging it. It's like the one that started or initiated. Speaker 1
I feel like, this version of Shorzy is so into Laura Moore that he that those are just chirps. That's just him trying to Speaker 4
That's what I've Speaker 1
get back at Corey and Link because they're dishing it out to him, making fun of the calendar and stuff, and he's just gotta give it back to him. Right? Speaker 5
but the fact remains It makes you wonder. Speaker 6
Yeah. It does. It does. Yeah. Speaker 0
Next to fellow wonder. Don't it? Don't it? Speaker 1
Did you ever notice? Alright. So here we go. Love this episode. Moving shots where we talked about, you know, walking to the hall, talk about, the the the shots in the cold open. By the way, Matt's, I think the line of the of the episode is the one about Laura Moore's bra with all due respect. That's the line of the episode. Great to see. Eddie's That's Speaker 0
a good that's a good tender Speaker 1
restaurant. The workout montage so I know you know, they're always saying that, Shoresy is a lot different from from Letter Kenny. But in this episode here, there's two very strong callbacks two very strong letter Kenny scenes. First, that workout montage, that's basically Riley and Jonesie in the gym in Letter Kenny. Just ripping this, the whatever, the the barbell thumb whatever whatever he's they're saying back and forth, but this is just Shoresy saying those exact same lines. To the slots. So that's almost lifted out of Letter Kenny, universe right there. And the the Corey and Liam tripping Same thing. Lift it right out of letter Kenny. Absolutely. Just rep just replace Corey in in Liam with Riley and Jonesie. Same thing that mom's tripping and everything like that. And them saying to him, fuck you, Shoresy, and every time they tell him, fuck you, he just comes back with an even, harder dig So, interesting. This one here has a lot of callbacks to to the Letter County to its roots. Just like the blueberry bulldogs did in season one, the zoo are loading up, you know. So the fact that Shoresies complain about what the Sue's doing with those three new players. It's exactly what they did, adding hitch, Dolo, and and Goody, and then the three gyms, they did the exact same thing. So not so I I really like the parallel there because, you know, that that's kind of ramping up the tension we did this last year and it worked for us and now the sewer doing this task. So, very interesting there. Speaker 5
What Americans do? Speaker 1
Yeah. And and then Is that work? Speaker 5
We're that we're gonna do that. Speaker 1
Shoresy making fun of Sanger and, and meek. Whenever whenever there's, like, a cute moment between, Samoinette and Mig, Shoresy's, there to to make fun of them with a little giggle or or whatever he does It's it's a lot of fun. So, yeah, those are my kind Speaker 6
of that those are my Speaker 4
He does that giggle so well. So well. Speaker 1
Yeah. Those are my high points for this episode. Trace. Speaker 5
On this particular episode, and I I don't want to reference too much back to the first episode. Speaker 5
But this was such a content heavy episode as far as the plot points that they wanna be establishing for the Speaker 5
I mean, there's no depth spot in this episode. Speaker 1
And it's so short. It's only eighteen minutes. And, like, nine And it almost took me nineteen minutes Speaker 5
of judicious editing. Yeah. They could have put one and two into, like, almost perfect episode. Right. And, But, yeah, I mean, this one was just it's hitting all the points. You you get the feeling they're gonna hit during the season. Introducing it to you, put it in your brain. Speaker 5
This is what you wanna be looking for. And and I really liked how that was, set up. I've already spoke to the Laura Moore thing. Speaker 5
The well, for me, the line of the episode is when Shore is going, you know, I'm only honey dick and broads and meat and, he goes same. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Actually, Zig, Zig has a great, a great line too when when he said, I'm I'll if, if JJ gets his own calendar, I'm gonna throw myself in front of a bus and and Zeek says I'll drive you. The fucking great great quick line definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 5
But, yeah. And I mean, The, the other thing was, like, with the Corey and Liam thing, I always I mean, I realize it's it harkens back to the Riley and Jonesy thing.
Speaker 5
But but almost the evolution of it because Corey and Liam are getting some zingers in on their own. But don't get me wrong. They're getting curb stomped afterwards, but You know, they're
Speaker 5
But, I mean, but to that point, you know, they're not just sitting there, you know, with blanks look looks on their faces Right. Trying to respond. They they try to give good as they get. Yeah. You know, they just get it worse. To my particular area expertise. I kinda like the trivia thing Yeah.
Speaker 7
Competition. That that felt made me
Speaker 5
feel good and warm and fuzzy.
Speaker 0
Mhmm. But, Were you able to answer the questions?
Speaker 1
Tracy is a trivia. He's he's a true man.
Speaker 0
You can't prove it either way. You could be lying, but, like, I I don't know.
Speaker 5
it would it would
Speaker 1
traces a national trivia champ, man. You don't don't
Speaker 5
But that being said, it was you know, it was tough because it was predominantly Canadian
Speaker 0
centrist. Yeah. That's why I was
Speaker 5
gonna But, yeah, I know. I mean, I knew those. But,
Speaker 4
I love it. But, I liked the the whole dye trap. Mhmm.
Speaker 5
Of Americans and Canadians? Al told me he goes, you're gonna have to defend that. It's nah, I can't defend it, man. It's just just the way Americans are. They, Like I said, they don't have I mean, yeah, there's a sort of entitled hubris that goes along with being an American that They think that they can excel and dominate in everything. Mhmm.
Speaker 5
just matters is them
Speaker 2
giving enough of
Speaker 5
And, well, I mean, yeah, I mean, you could sit there and go, if we wanted to play cricket, we could dominate cricket, you know, or some, other weird, rugby pill. If we wanted to play rugby, we'd just dominate, but we just don't wanna. And, you know, and, you know, hockey it's neighbors to the north. Hell, we can do that too. And once they get their backup about it, they, you know, can be irritatingly arrogant about it. And not only that and and not so much that, you know, anybody begrudges them wanting to excel in the sport. It's just they just to blatant disregard for traditions and things that are honored by the country that it's that's national sport. And they're they just we're gonna do it our way because we're Americans bringing ours
Speaker 5
And but, yeah, I mean, I like that. And as far as, you know, like, the sluts, I'm going to have I'm going to co opt something, awesome wrote in the, DM group, and that that You know, the there's a distinct point with, hitch as far as, going along with you know, looking for something more.
Speaker 5
And Austin had mentioned that, you know, with Shoresy and Laura Moore and hitches moving away from some puckbunny who couldn't even remember his name.
Speaker 5
You know, Jerry, yes. But, hitch, obviously, if not outright said, he's older than the rest of them.
Speaker 5
And and it's kinda putting a not a disconnect, but a a distance between the younger players. And the older players who come into the end of their careers and are looking for something more.
Speaker 5
it's it and it And she made a point that it kinda plays up into the veteran aspect of them Yeah. Coming along, and it's like, Yeah. That's cool, man. But they're flushing out characters, and that's the best part of those episodes so far.
Speaker 1
Agreed for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Every one of them has had something to kind of develop their character a bit more, a bit further. I would argue maybe goody hasn't had as much as in anyone else, but, the others seem to have had it.
Speaker 4
And and to your point, Trace, with the the Americans, it when with you saying, that I'm thinking back to when they were running down the road, they were in the middle of the road. They weren't like on the sidewalk, but they were like, Here we are.
Speaker 1
We're gonna stop traffic.
Speaker 4
We're stopping traffic.
Speaker 5
Where else would they
Speaker 4
be? It kinda makes it. It's like, yeah, brings it Your mind, we're
Speaker 5
in the middle of the road. Right? We're we're
Speaker 0
Yeah. Another no. Sorry. Really quick on the Laura Moore thing. Is that is that something hiding in plain sight? Where you just said, you know, they're looking for something more. Is Laura Shoresy's something more. Is there a play on on name there intentional just to say that she's She's something more for her.
Speaker 1
Your border line. You're you're bordering on on an Allen theory there. That's that was like something I would come up with.
Speaker 5
We didn't say she was pregnant or anything.
Speaker 1
Alright. Jay, what what did you think of this episode?
Speaker 6
I thought it was I thought it was great. And, you you mentioned the things that kind of linked it to letter Kenny there and and you had the two and then trace through in the Honey Dick. And, he also mentioned he also mentioned hypertrophy And if you remember in the beat your dick December episode, that's what, squirrely Dan said would happen to you during that, event. So That's funny call back to that one.
Speaker 4
Nice. Nice catch.
Speaker 6
Yeah. And I've got some notes here, which is funny. Like, I feel like I'm on, like, trolley. I have take a notes for something in, like, thirty five years. So just bear with me.
Speaker 0
Oh, were you on trial for thirty five years ago?
Speaker 4
That's what this show may you do. It makes you take notes. It makes
Speaker 1
you do homework.
Speaker 6
Like, so, like, the Facebook algorithm has has seen my face and they realized that I don't know what cross body ripped hammer curls are. And so I've been getting one bone clothing ads for years.
Speaker 6
so I was looking at this year, and again, back in a little while ago, and all of a sudden it's, Well, yeah. You see JJ Frank and Jayjay, you know, and I I, whatever. Like, I commented on the picture, saying Jayjay Frank and Jayjay. And literally every single other call meant was from a bear where they're just like, we all know why we're here, Abe fellas and all
Speaker 1
Are you serious?
Speaker 6
So when I saw that on TV for the show, I just died because it's, like, I don't know if it was, like, art imitating life or what, but
Speaker 0
Oh, wow. That's really funny.
Speaker 6
Yeah. There's a ton of them and it's the the bears are a big fan of the one bone clothing line because of the the models that they pick.
Speaker 0
wonder that's a good call. I mean, maybe that's the can I mean, Max Befar, it's been, supporting their stuff for while not right? He's promoting it all the time. So you you could be on some. That could be a direct connection.
Speaker 1
So it's more like art imitating life instead of the other way around.
Speaker 6
Yeah. Yeah. So I just when when they said it, I just started laughing, and my wife said, what's your problem? And I'll say, I'll I'll tell you later.
Speaker 5
But it's also a proven commodity that Jared finds something mildly amusing and interesting about your real life. Oh, it's going in the show.
Speaker 1
Yeah. That's true. Yeah.
Speaker 0
He's certainly done it before. So
Speaker 6
the the show forced me to find out what Province Town means.
Speaker 6
I didn't I'd never heard I'd never heard of that reference before, but apparently, the is oldest gay bars in Provincetown.
Speaker 5
Oh, yeah. Massachusetts. Yeah.
Speaker 6
Yeah. Yeah. And I also really like that Goody who who Like, he's got twenty lines in the whole show and it's how he likes chicken. He likes this. He likes this. He likes this. And all of a sudden, he's just like San Friends, a dump. And I just thought that was hilarious because it's, like, I I'd love to know where that came from. We're all of a sudden. He's just the first thing negative he says is it's an imprinted Speaker 1
Right. They probably don't have good chicken there. That's probably why he does. Speaker 6
Exactly. Their chicken is poor. The two teams like Laurie, Corey and Liam's beer league team to have beer Tuesday versus the maple Quiffs, like, well done beer league teams. I had to look up all of Net's references to the US hockey programs. Like, I heard a shattuck because of Like Sydney Crosby went to Shattuck. Donovan Tayez went to Shattuck. And then that total package hockey, I'd never heard of that before. So decided to look into it. Speaker 6
And, like, five players drafted in the top ten came from that program last year. In the in the Speaker 1
And that's an American program. Speaker 6
It's an American program. It's like a franchise, I think. It's just it's in a bunch of different US cities. Speaker 6
think the kind of the key point to that too is, like, not only are they developing their own players. Like, Canadians are going there. Yeah. Instead at home to do their own development. So that's that's a feather in their cap for Speaker 6
And like I don't know if you'd ever heard of the Notre Dame, the Wilcox team there before with Wendell Clark, but it's like a Western Canadian powerhouse. It's always developed talent. I think it's I don't know if it's fallen on some hard times lately, but, like, the NHL, all the fame is full of guys that play it for the hounds in Notre Dame. Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. That it's a small, but mighty school, hockey wise, for sure. Yeah. Speaker 6
I'd love to hear just listening behind the walls because that's such a junior hockey thing to do. Like, it's in any other frame of world, it would be creepy, but in that world, yeah, you're gonna hang up behind the wall. What else are you gonna do? It's like Bonnie McMurray. It's like, you couldn't just not acknowledge it yet. It's like, Speaker 1
I just love how supportive and complimentary he was to Dola's. Right. You did a good job there, Dola. Well, well done. Yeah. Just wanted to I was I was I was proud Speaker 6
I feel like I need to hand in my Canadian passport because I have no idea who Arrev is. Speaker 1
Neither do I had to look her up and, I mean, There's a lot of Quebec stars, singers, and actors that, when when they say they support their own, it's true. Like, there's an entire industry that is only in Quebec that no one outside of Quebec know knows about. And, but they do really well in their province, which is something that, you know, the rest of the country could probably learn from. But, yeah, I had to look her up and, yeah, apparently, she's pretty famous in in Quebec. Speaker 6
And then I guess the last thing I had was just the the fellas there, the Sue hot, the new guys I I love the scene, and it took me, like you said, it took you twelve shows to see the the fellow that you'd met. Mhmm. It took me probably ten times watching that episode to see that they gave away the the Delaney thing Speaker 6
When he's, like, three times in the substance abuse program, and Saguenet's like, do we know why? Yeah. And right before Shoresy says, yeah, e you see me goes, just as a quick sniff Speaker 6
kinda clear the coca. Speaker 1
Didn't see that. Okay. That makes sense. Yeah. Speaker 6
I thought the past Speaker 4
due date though. Speaker 4
up on everything. I am Yeah. Speaker 6
And then The the big fella there, I had to look him up because it just seemed like he must be a guy that had made his way through the league or something or through the the minors. Yeah. And him and Mariasdi have fought, like, many times in real life. Speaker 1
So Alex Penner, we met him, at station eighty four when we were hanging out there. And and I just wanna say, while we were there, we hung out with, Dolo, hit a goodie. Speaker 1
Harlan Jacob. And and, and Alex Penner was also there one of the nights. So so we got to know him. And the funny thing about that night was, Harlan was there. And it's one of these places that had, like, a bunch of board, like, you have drinks and stuff at and TVs to watch the games. There's also board games, and Harlan spent the entire night playing trivial pursuit. And, like, and just asking questions to anyone who'd answer. Speaker 1
it was kinda funny. Speaker 6
It's so funny. Yep. Speaker 0
Describing it as, like, your buddy's basement. Speaker 0
Like, ran into a garage sale. Like, that's kinda what it was. Speaker 4
Well, there was literally, coolers of beer, like, scattered around the entire place. Speaker 1
Yeah. That's pretty Speaker 4
Not behind the bar. Speaker 1
I remember talking to Penner and he mentioned that, yeah, he fought who was it you said you were talking about? Speaker 0
Marasti. Yeah. Marasti. He fought. Speaker 1
Yeah. He fought Marasti. He also fought Domee twice, I think, and and and was, like, one for one there in terms of, fighting dummy. So, yeah, he's, he's the real deal in terms of being a tough guy, for sure. Speaker 0
Yeah. He's a big dude. Speaker 6
I was laughing because I I went and watched the fights and hockey fights dot com in and we're asking the the two that are on there. And, I was kind of surprised. Like, there's one fight that I I would almost love to hear what Marasti's opinion of Panner is after that one because it was, kind of a sucker right off the face off, and then Speaker 6
Gave him a couple when he was, like, face down on the ice. So I was wondering if there's any bad blood between, gym number one and pender there. Speaker 1
Well, I mean, they shared the screen a few times. So who knows? Yeah. Speaker 5
Can I ask a ignorant American question? Yeah. The gentleman in, the middle We know that that's Patrick Wasson and Alex benefited. The guy that plays, the guy that played it, like, a thousand games. Speaker 1
Brady, sure. Yeah. Neil Clark. I looked them up. He did he doesn't look like he had, much of a, like, pro. Speaker 5
It wasn't a thousand games in the league. Speaker 1
No. No. I couldn't find that anyway. If if it was, it was, in a a different pro league, not the NHL. Speaker 6
Okay. You played some you played in England for some in junior hockey encounter? Yeah. Speaker 1
Amazing. Is is that everything you have there, Jay? Speaker 1
Alright. So let's move on to ratings, Tanya. What did you give this episode? You're not ready? Speaker 4
Was, no, I wasn't. I'm I'm just so impressed Jay. Like, seriously, you blew my mind with all the things that you, like, even the whole sniff thing of the co like, totally did not see that. I think I'd have to watch it ten thousand times and then be like, oh, that's where he was meaning because I have I I can't Anyways, ratings. Of course, it's a fresh. I'm not even gonna. Like, it it it it's like it was it was phenomenal. I loved it. Yeah. Like, there is no wrong. Yeah. Speaker 0
Yeah. I'm not gonna dance this one either. It's a fresh. I I really enjoyed this one, and and there's a lot of material here, a lot of things to play with, a lot of great production stuff, things happening. Yeah. I just felt good about this episode. So, yeah, it's a fresh. Speaker 1
I have two issues with this episode. One, Shoresy making fun of Michaels for eating alone because again Speaker 0
Yeah. I we agreed. We're all on the level that one. Speaker 1
Two. It was only eighteen and a half minutes long. What the fuck? Like, this is this is It feels Speaker 1
It was but but you're right. It it was very story heavy, which is hilarious because for an episode as short as it was, there was a lot, like, the a lot Speaker 4
of If you slowed that down to a normal pace. It would be much longer. Yeah. But because they do the timing as fast as they do, was eighteen. Speaker 1
loved it. In any episode that starts off with the with the Shoresy Laura Morrison. Speaker 1
You'd have you'd have to really craft the bed the rest of the episode to make this not a fresh yes. I give it a fresh trace. It's up to you. Speaker 5
Oh, hell yeah, man. Precious hell. Alright. Speaker 1
Since you were playing the role of Victor here. Speaker 6
regret nothing. Yeah. Speaker 1
Since you're playing the role of Victor, four Fresh's Raintor, mean mean unicorn. Speaker 4
That is our first unicorn of the season because you shake the bed last week. Speaker 1
I told the truth. Speaker 6
I told the truth. Speaker 5
And not to be presumptuous, I think Victor would have given it a fresh. Speaker 0
I think he would have too. Speaker 1
We'll we'll get him, his, rating when he's back from, from across the pond. Speaker 0
care any value at that point, Speaker 1
but, no, you're right. Yeah, the year of Speaker 5
marketing books. Yeah. Speaker 1
Jay, what do what do you give this one? Speaker 6
I'm the same boat. I give it a fresh as well. Like, And to your point, we're yelling at Michaels for eating the thing. I think he salvaged that by by using the phrase solo paninis. Yeah. Don't know why that just tickled my funny bone, but it seems so Speaker 6
he when he said that to him. So, like, if he was eating a steak sa a steak sandwich, it wouldn't have been a problem, but it's a panini. So it is. I don't know Yeah. But, no, it's so fresh. It's, it's everything we love about this show. Speaker 1
Absolutely. Agreed. Alright. We've been moving on to m v peas. Do you have one yet for your episode there, Tanya? Cause you're up first. Who who do you give a game stick to? Speaker 4
Oh, my. It's gotta be Laura right from the beginning. I just that cold open. I know she was only there. During that. But, oh my god. I just I love the banter between the two of them. It gives me that warm fuzzy, and I just it makes me smile and happy. Speaker 1
Okay. Laura Moore. Can't argue with that, Matt. Speaker 0
My mind's I'm going a slightly off base, but I'll Speaker 1
explain is, JJ Frankie, JJ. Speaker 0
Because of what I was talking about in his complete obliviousness to Shorsey's anger around why him. And every time they cut to him, I laughed because he just doesn't give a shit. Oh. And and and, like, he's eating, or he's playing in his phone, or he's just, like, like, like, there's he's in his own separate world. Speaker 0
And in this episode, when they kept pointing to him and gesturing at him because of the whole bear thing. I laughed every time they cut to him. So That whole interaction. Yeah. It goes to to JJ for me. Speaker 1
Excellent. Mine is obviously Laura Moore. Speaker 1
Oh, of course. One hundred percent. This this episode, I can't even think of what run who runner-up runners up might be. Maybe Zeig again because I love that zinger when she said, I'll drive you to to Shoresy. So so the the Speaker 4
My runner-up was gonna be Corey and Liam. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. Speaker 1
They were good too. They were good too. They they remind me a lot of Riley and Jonesy, and so they kinda made me miss Riley and Jonesy. But, yeah, they Speaker 0
got solid chemistry those two. Speaker 1
Yeah. Laura Moore, for Yeah. They do. And and, I'm I'm glad that they're getting more more screen time as well. Trace? Speaker 5
I've spent the better part of this entire podcast. Thinking of some bizarre Victor esque MVP that I gotta come up with. And I'm just drawing a blank. So Speaker 6
Michael, if you need me or something, Speaker 1
Maybe. Well, Lauren Moore's bra off color brown. No. Speaker 4
No. It wasn't been that Speaker 0
Did you just say Victor's way too classy? Speaker 5
Well, well, classy's probably the wrong word. Victor's too much of the straight arrow Speaker 1
to Okay. Really? Speaker 5
a in which case we review with my own one, I shall pick. I shall pick my lady Lauren Speaker 4
Laura. Jason. Who do you Speaker 1
give your stick to? Speaker 6
Your game stuff? Because, like, for the longest time I was on meek just because of how cute she was during that scene. Like, just you could tell that she could barely hold herself together that entire scene where they're talking about bears and Speaker 1
Oh, right. Yeah. Speaker 6
Me bears and everything. She's laughing, and you can tell that that's real as hell. Like, I don't know if any of that was actually She's Speaker 5
making no bones about it. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 6
Yeah. But it's gotta be it's gotta be the pride of Quebec. It's gotta be j j Frank and j j. He's got he's got e well, he's a model Speaker 6
In real life. He's got Rev who I'd never heard of, but I'd like to know a little bit more about her. I'll let you know that. He's got Lizonde Nordeaux on the phone. I and he's a gay icon. Like, I think he's covered pretty much all the bases there to be, and he's leading the leading goals. Speaker 1
Yeah. And the pride of you're right. Like, he's got everything going for him. Speaker 6
Yeah. He's he's, he's got it all right now. So he's gotta be my MVP. Speaker 1
Very cool. And, you gotta know that he's got, you know, the those Pennini loyalty cards. They're, like, punched. Right? He's got free paninis coming out of his. Anyway Speaker 4
All this panini talk. I am freaking starving. Speaker 1
Alright, guys. This is great. Just moving on quickly to, we got a, an Apple review. You know, haven't had one in a while. This one here is, four stars. Game stick goes to Victor. Victor wins the game stick for being a team player. And holy Albert learned to read. I'm going to guess that by Albert, he meant me Al. But, okay, that's fine. Al, short for Alan, not Albert, but I get what you're saying. Yes. These synopsis that I write every week I only I I never reread them. So I only read them back for the first time during the episode. So I apologize. Sometimes And Speaker 0
you often don't rewrite them for the next episode either. Speaker 1
That's true. Yes. So, it's a valid criticism. Mister Fek, that's the the username via Apple podcast. Thank you for your review. And I really don't have any other comments. So we'll call. Speaker 5
It would be so Canadian until I Speaker 4
got start calling you Albert. Speaker 1
Oh, he gave us four stars. Like, if he gave me one star, I'd be like, you know, Fack off, but no. Speaker 0
We got a one star one time. Yeah. He Speaker 0
free with that guy. Speaker 5
Probably the same guy to compost every Oh. Speaker 1
So we're gonna go around the horn with our final comments, Tanya, you're up first. Speaker 4
Trace, thank you so much for coming out tonight. And, I'm just sorry that Victor, didn't share with you his, unicorn backdrop for when the unicorn happened. Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. Jay missed out on Victor's unicorn. Speaker 4
Yep. Thank you for making it a unicorn the first of the season. You you, pop the cherry. And and Jay. Speaker 4
Jay, thank you so much for coming out. It was up pleasure getting to know you. And all of that amazing insight and, all your notes, it it just brought such another level to all of this episode that I didn't even see. So I'm gonna definitely have to rewatch all that. I just wanna say, you know, I'm I'm on a diet. And so this scene and and and thinking back to all the amazing places that we ate at, and I am, like, obsessed, and I wanna go back and eat. Anyways, This is a a lot of fun tonight. Thanks. Speaker 0
Yeah. Jay, you you brought them in. The this stuff cracks me up and and, like, This is why I love all the different personalities and opinions and perspectives we bring onto the podcast because I swear to god, we all watch a different show every time. Right? And it's amazing because we obviously watch the same thing, but everyone sees different things. And I'm with Tanya. Everything that you mentioned, I you were so on point, but I wouldn't have even considered it. Like, it'd probably take me fifty views to catch half of the things that you caught, but everyone has different things they see and view, and my chair just sunk on me. I literally just dropped down about a foot. But, no, it was awesome. And and I and I love I love bringing on perspectives and and you really brought your unique one in was so on appointment. So thanks. And I'm looking forward to this. There were two episodes in. There's four more ones to go. This so much fun. I'm so glad we're doing these review episodes again. Speaker 0
This this is just the the best. Speaker 1
Great job, Jay. I gotta say when I when I learned that Victor was gonna be here tonight, I was a little worried because he brings the hockey knowledge. I mean, I know a little bit, but he knows way more Speaker 0
Well, I was here. Speaker 1
Yeah. Anyway, I know a little bit Victor knows who got more. Speaker 1
Jay, you brought it, and I appreciate you look especially looking up those hockey schools down in the USA, and anything about doing that probably didn't even have time. I didn't have time to write a proper introduction for you. So I appreciate you. You did a great job tonight, on the in the live stream here. Liz says, I can't believe Jay was even worried last week. You did a great job, man. You you did. You Speaker 1
Awesome. So thank you so much for being here tonight, Trace. Thank you for playing Victor tonight. You did an a better job than than he would have done. So appreciate that. And as I it turned out for the best that we had American representation here to so that you can kinda stick up for your, your side of the border. Speaker 0
He didn't really. He he kinda just accepted it. Speaker 1
You rolled That's true. Yeah. Speaker 0
It was very unamerican. Speaker 4
That was awesome. Speaker 5
Well, no. It's just kinda what you gotta do, man. Speaker 4
And just keep on going. Speaker 0
He felt outnumbered by the mighty Canadians. Speaker 1
Go ahead, Joyce. Speaker 5
Thank you so much for having me. This is the second time I've played Victor and it's most fun. And But, yeah, I mean, I appreciate y'all having me. Jay, you were the paragon of preparation, man. I remembered when I used to get prepared for these things. Speaker 1
he just shows up and tries to rely on his charm. Speaker 5
But, yes, it's a it was so good being here. I'm so excited about the the season of Shoresy. I'm glad we got the unicorn. And, I wanna wish a happy veteran's day to Charlinger and Jason Eigard and Ethan Chad Yeah. And a happy remembrance day to you guys. Thank you. Speaker 4

Thank you so much, Jay. Speaker 6
No. It was a it was a lot of fun, guys. Thanks for having me Again, so soon after my last appearance are Speaker 6
So that's nice. I had to do all that preparation trace because like, I could listen to trace, read the phone book so he can get by in his charm. I can't. I gotta do the extra work. So, I'm happy that it's paid off for tonight there. So I'm happy that I picked an episode that was kinda heavy hockey related too because then I felt a little bit at home there because I had a fan and played hockey for forty years. So It's, it's what I know. So I'm able to kinda speak to that. So, no, it's been great. And, like, everyone has said so far, I look forward to hearing the rest of the the season because Well, it's it's it's been a hell of a hell of a show and and get a lot of enjoyment out of watching it.
