Kids are the worst. Speaker 0
It's that other new metric media, sitcom. Kids ruined everything. That's it. Kids ruined everything. Oh, man. Speaker 2
I feel like I Speaker 7
we watched two episodes when it first aired. And we said, you know, what? We lived this already and I can't do it again. Speaker 0
Exactly the same. It's very stressful to watch. Once I got past the first couple episodes, I I I settled in and and the and I'm enjoying it. But yeah. And if you like your letter to any content, Gail's in there. Who else is in there? Speaker 2
Well But I'm feeling I'm feeling, like, I'm watching the episode and, yeah, the the children are out of control. Especially that little girl. Mhmm. But but in A lot of Speaker 0
giving her up for adoption. Speaker 2
But in a but in a way, it's just making me feel like a better parent somehow that, you know, I other people have gone through this to the point where they have show on it. And it's, Speaker 8
like Bar's Speaker 7
pretty low. Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. So yeah. Anyway, anyways, we've been enjoying the show. And then tonight, we did something new. And and this year is all about trying new things. And, tonight. Sounds kinky. I've read. Speaker 7
Now, that means no no Speaker 2
That is. Speaker 7
Yes to everything else. Speaker 2
Pickled some balls tonight. Boys. So, yeah, we, we went over to our community center, and they had, a drop in for pickleball all ages and took the fam and enjoyed some activity, which was fun. It was You're Speaker 1
that old now, either you're playing pickleball. Speaker 2
Congratulations, guys. Speaker 7
So that's playing, like, ping pong, but on the wrong table. Speaker 2
It's a it's a Some Speaker 1
of the courts. Like using the big remote when you played when you watch TV. Speaker 2
Yeah. Never have I ever played the game before, so there was a lot of lessons to learn. Thankfully, our son, taken a course or something in high school. Speaker 0
Learned it in high school gym Speaker 2
or something. Speaker 0
Yeah. Speaker 2
And so he was our teacher? Course. He took a course. He took a course. It's called Jim. That was that was the course that he took Jim course. Jim Course. And, yeah, we had a lot of fun tonight. There was a lot of people that were trying to teach us and balls were flying everywhere, but, we had a good time, and we're all trying again next week, maybe. Speaker 7
That's because you're not wearing the right underwear. No. We haven't. Speaker 0
She was very distracted. Anyway, Matt, how was your week been? Speaker 7
I bet Matt's balls aren't flying anywhere because he's wearing the right underwear. Speaker 1
You're assuming I'm wearing underwear at all. Speaker 2
Whoa. Whoa. Here we go boys. Speaker 1
The end of the day, reasons that the sacks come off. Speaker 2
Oh, is that a happy hour thing? Speaker 3
No. My week's been, my my week's been alright. Speaker 1
It's, it's a new year. My my little guy has been less of a Hellraiser this week. So he's back to school. So kindergarten and stuff, but we are four days in a row where drop off at kindergarten went completely fine. He's got this little button if I talked about the book that he now has that his teacher fills it every day to tell us how he did that day. Speaker 2
Mhmm. Speaker 1
We're used to getting frowny faces. We've been getting smiley faces all week. So that's a good he's been I don't know. It's like a new year. Maybe this was his new year's resolution. I don't know, but he's not he's less than asshole this week. Right. Speaker 3
We Speaker 1
took him to swimming lessons, and he actually went with the instructor and got in the pool without having a full meltdown. So I'm liking this version of him right now, and I I hope it continues. So that's been a positive. On a weird negative, Jen and I are are trying to help a situation. We so the other day I took Moose for a walk and and found another dog wandering the neighborhood. And I didn't recognize the dog at first, but turned out, I did know them. And long story short, this dog has gotten loose a few times. The owner is complete piece of shit. Very neglectful on this animal, and you could see it. And this is part of the reason I didn't recognize the dog because it lost so much weight. Oh, wow. So we we ran to another friend who knew exactly who it was, he's like, oh, that's Micah, that fucking piece of shit again, let the damn dog out. Let's go And I had moose. I couldn't go with him, but Jen and and our buddy went and returned the dog. And this guy basically told them, basically, they get the fuck off my property. Tuck the dog, and they're like, you don't deserve. He's like, well, then take the damn dog. Like, he basically is at the point where he doesn't even care. So we're working with, some of the humane society and stuff in the area to arrange some kind of intervention, have the dog removed. The challenge is he's a pitbull, or she's a pitbull. And she is an absolute sweetheart of a dog, but I don't know what the rules are for anyone listening, but in Ontario. There are, you can't you basically can't have PIPples. There's a lot of rules against them. If you do have them, there's very strict, legislation against them. They've got a bad rap. So before we give any official information to authorities, we wanna ensure that this dog is gonna be taken care of, rehabilitated if necessary, and and then rehomed and not euthanized. So We have found one organization who had it right on their website. It says we have a strict no kill policy. So we're we're in the process of getting contact with them. So that they can intervene and and hopefully get this dog out of that situation as soon as possible and hold it because she is an absolute sweetheart. Even shens, like, if If we didn't have the kids and had a bigger place, she's like, I would've taken her in on the spot. Mhmm. But it was so it's a sad situation, but we're in the process of trying to help, basically rescue this dog from this situation because this guy basically said taker. So I'll have an update on that next week. Hopefully, we have an outcome. But, yeah, don't be a dog owner if you can't. Yeah. You know, step up to the plate. Speaker 0
Simple. Yeah. Especially a pitbull owner, because, you know, they they they require a little extra care and attention. And, yeah. Speaker 7
Yeah. Wow. Speaker 1
So anyways, that's been my week. And now I'm here, and this is great. I'm excited to have some fun. Speaker 2
Doesn't Rosie take care of Pipples? Speaker 0
That she rescues them in Vancouver. Yeah. Yeah. It should send them send call Rosie Speaker 1
up. I'm like Rosie. Who's Rosie? Yeah. Speaker 2
Yeah. I got you. Speaker 1
A little far from Vancouver. Speaker 0
Yeah. I mean, who's next on the line up here? Oh, Victor. It's you. Speaker 7
Yeah. So you gotta get her from the inner space into outer space Mhmm. Which is, you know, the reality into, the moderate, the reality of the of the letter type universe. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Speaker 7
Anyway, alright. Well, let's follow that up with something, I guess, less sad. I don't know. Let's see. So, yeah, so their picture so there you go, Matt. So picture behind me right now that our listeners can't see. Is Michelle Mylett. So that's that's a happy ending. Right? Yeah. So that's a cat that was up for adoption and, where was it? Kansas City. Kansas Speaker 0
City. Yeah. Speaker 7
And and, you know, this cat was named after Michelle. And, because of that special connection. It was adopted and cared for. So so maybe it's the same thing happens with your, neighborhood friend. What's that dog's name, by the way? Do you know? Speaker 1
Micah. Speaker 7
Micah. There you go. You said that. Yeah. Not to be confused with Leica, because that wouldn't we don't want the same ending. For as we had for LICA. Well, Speaker 0
I don't know. I'm almost afraid to ask Victor. What do you mean? Speaker 2
Like you shouldn't. Speaker 7
No. That's the dog that went, the Russians. Speaker 0
Oh, they're right, since the Spagotcha Leica. Yeah. I forgot the name. Anyway, how's your week been Victor? Speaker 7
Before before they sent Gregairan up there, they sent, like, anyway, week's been good. We had that very fun interview with Michelle, which was fantastic. You know, she speaks in such a soulful way about people. I I I I would have next if we chat with her again, I'd like her to describe pandas. Because if she describes people in such a fun way, Oh, they're so silly and tumbly and whatever. I'd love for her to talk about pandas. So that's that's gonna be our Speaker 0
Not not hippos? Speaker 7
That hip well, because, I mean, hippos are so majestic and, you know, dignified. But pandas are silly animals. Speaker 1
So so Speaker 7
I think, you know, I Speaker 2
don't think I've ever heard of a hippo that state. I dignified it, though. Anyway, Speaker 7
So so anyway, before you guys have a chance to interject. So let's see. It's been it's been I know I'm a little late to the party, but we're finally watching Fargo season five, and we're about four episodes in and it's it's fantastic as most of the Fargo seasons have been. I think four is questionable, but But, yeah, five brings us back to what that shows about, and it's fantastic. Speaker 0
Wait. Wasn't wasn't for the one Mark Ford was in? Speaker 7
No. No. No. No. No. No. Speaker 2
The only fargo I know is the movie. Speaker 0
Yeah. No. There's a TV show as well. Speaker 4
No. That's good. Speaker 2
Yes. Is it based on the movie? Speaker 0
Yes. No. Speaker 7
Is it then? Yes and no. I mean, they each season is a is a brand new story. Speaker 0
It's in the same world. And none of the Speaker 7
stories are related. And though the writers would like you to think that subconsciously they're related, but they're not. They're set in different they're set in different times. Different characters, and and whatnot. Oddies aren't going Speaker 2
through wood shippers. Speaker 7
Yeah. Yeah. No. That only happens in the movie. And so seasons one, two, and three are fantastic. Season four is just different. It's not bad. It's just different. And then season five brings us back to what's great about about the show. I've re fully recommend it. If you guys watch season one, you're gonna fall in love with it. Speaker 0
It's on my list. For sure. Speaker 7
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. Definitely. Do it. And then because of last week, I don't know why or how we we we set something about Lowe and Clark, And so I started rewatching that series. Speaker 0
The original lois and Clark. Speaker 7
What's that? Speaker 0
The the the original one was Dean Cain and Speaker 7
Yeah. Dean Cain and, Speaker 0
car, something car, is it? Or I don't know. Yeah. That one. Speaker 7
What's what's her name? Yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. That one. Speaker 7
Hatcher. Terry Speaker 0
Hatcher. Terry Hatcher. Yeah. Speaker 7
Yeah. I had a big crush on Terry Hatcher one day. Speaker 0
I mean, Speaker 7
who did this? Okay. Anyway, so that's, I'm loving loving it. It's so so good. It's so good. It's standing up. It's not, you know, it, you know, some shows you can't watch them again, but this one you absolutely can. Speaker 0
Have you watched Super Superman and Lois? Speaker 7
Yes. I have. Speaker 0
What did you think of that? Speaker 7
It's okay. It's too I don't know. Something. Speaker 0
To Did Speaker 2
you watch small smallville? Speaker 7
Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Beginning being beginning to end. Speaker 4
Mhmm. Speaker 7
And that was good. I I enjoyed Speaker 2
that too. Speaker 7
Yeah. It was really the problem was I think, the new one, the there's some I don't Lois is not I just don't the the the actress that plays Lois. Don't know. And and it's too sometimes it's too preachy and I think there's some some some criticism in it. Like, just let us just make good shows without any of the hidden agendas. You know, you know what I mean? Like, sometimes leave that stuff leave that stuff out of the comic books. Let's just, you know, let's just enjoy the the let us go into this other universe, but we don't have to think about the problems we have here in real life. And and you know what I mean? So Speaker 0
Okay. I'll put you down as undecided then for for super end, Louis. Speaker 7
Yeah. No. No. Like, I'm, oh, I'm watching it. I I'm all up to date on it, and I'll continue to watch it because superman's fight. Speaker 0
I I hear you. Again, it's more about the sons than Yeah. It's it's, yeah, it is what it is. Great. Let's see my week. This weekend, we had our second Christmas that was with Tania's family. Forgot that. The Christmas that we we missed because everyone was sick. So we had her parents and sister and brother-in-law over. And, that was fun. We had Michelle. Obviously, again, on on, on Monday or Tuesday. I'm I'm this week's been blurred. Tuesday. Keep on yeah. And next Monday was supposed to be Olivia Stadler, but, she has pushed us out a week. So it's actually the following Monday. So govern yourselves accordingly, but that'll be a fun one too, with with Olivia Sadler. She plays all of in that first episode of season all, but she's also a writer who's written on, the international women's day and a she and Ali Pierce also did a lot writing, like, punch up writing for, married Anne and Betty Anne, scenes, and stuff like that. So, Speaker 2
international woman's day. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. So that's fun. And and, of course, they wrote that first episode of season twelve along with Jared. So looking forward to having Olivia on. Yeah, and I didn't really have much else. I mean, this week's been kind of uneventful for me. I've just been working a lot. So we'll move on to Zach. Have you been bud? Speaker 4
Well, is this one? Good. And you? Speaker 0
Mhmm. Not so bad. Speaker 4
There we are. Let's see. My my week, it hasn't been too too terrible. There was a bunch of, let downs with, my work schedule, in terms of being things were scheduled to be installed in Mhmm. Whatnot, but it wasn't ready or, like, signed off on yet. So it was just, you know, I think two two of the days so bar have just been a complete waste of time driving back and forth. But, other than that, We've been integrating all the furniture into walls. That's been fun. Speaker 0
Oh. Speaker 4
Oh, yeah. China cabinet and everything. We got a pool table. That's also a ping pong table, as well as a dinner table. Speaker 2
Okay. I love that. Yeah. Speaker 0
We used to have something kinda like that. We had a bumper pool table that converted into Speaker 2
That was our first purchase. Speaker 0
Converged into a it was an octagon. And had a it was our dinner table, bumper pool, and it had a poker table. It was Speaker 2
It was Speaker 7
great. Yeah. Speaker 6
I Speaker 1
had a poker table. Speaker 0
I gotcha. Speaker 4
It's been it's being used right now. Yeah. Speaker 0
There you go. Yeah. Amazing. Speaker 4
That's that's been good. Speaker 0
In your intro, you'd mentioned this, and I'm surprised Victor hasn't, hasn't followed up, but you play you play guitar. Speaker 7
Haven't had a chance. Speaker 0
Well, what kind of, like, what kind of music do you like playing? Speaker 4
Metal mostly. Speaker 0
Okay. So are you I'm gonna Speaker 7
New metal or, like, metal, like, old metal? Speaker 4
Both Victor. Speaker 7
Because, you know, like the new metal guys think the old metal is really just rock and roll. Speaker 4
No. Yeah. I I agree. It's not that's why I say both. Speaker 7
Mhmm. Alright. Speaker 4
You do have you do have to separate them. Speaker 0
Are you gonna be playing a band, or or is it just kind of, you know, in your spare time right now? Speaker 4
Just me. It's what it's I've been doing it for a hobby since I was, thirteen, thirteen or fourteen years old. Speaker 0
That's cool. So, I mean, given the episode we're doing today, are you a country music fan? Speaker 1
You look like a country music fan. So we Speaker 5
think it's a Speaker 0
fair question. Speaker 2
The surprise we're not all wearing cowboy hats right Speaker 0
colored hair, all the tattoos, the the lip piercing and stuff. Yeah. You look like you could be a country music fan. Speaker 2
I think so. Speaker 4
Fuck. No. I'm so sorry. Speaker 2
Well, you know Speaker 4
I hate country. That's why I actually that's why I wanted this episode so I could help kind of like shit on it a little bit. Speaker 7
I I see. I think we need to make something clearer. Speaker 0
There's Speaker 7
a we need to separate, you know, country music, the stuff that the the crap, or I shouldn't call a crap for those that enjoy it. You know, the stuff that you hear on, like, country radio, on raid on the old radio stations, you know, like, the, Garth Brooks and Shania twain and, you know, all that kind of basically, all the name drops droppings that, we we had in the in the episode. From from things like Chad Atkins, right? Like like the the musicians, the the the stuff that just makes you the chicken picking stuff. Like you can't listen to that and say, I hate that. I mean, that's like, you know, that's that's like looking at little kittens and, you know, or puppies and saying I hate that. Like, it the the two thing, you need to separate the two things. The musicianship from the the the the the derivative derivative kind of crap that we get on the radios. Speaker 0
What do you say to that, Zach? Speaker 4
I say Victor, you silly. Speaker 2
I'm Speaker 0
not gonna answer. Speaker 7
Okay. Ben Haley, Van Hale. Alright? Speaker 0
That's not country. Speaker 7
You can't hate Van Hale, right? And he had some of the best chicken picking picking you know, finish what you started as an example. Yeah. Listen to the music. Listen to the guitar part of finish what you started. That's country. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you you have you have to appreciate the musicality of it, but you don't have to Speaker 0
I'll give you this. I can't listen to country music recorded on the radio or anything like that or on Spotify. I just can't. I hate it. Whenever I go to my my sister in law's place, that's all they play. I I just I'm sitting I've got my earbud in and listening to podcasts, but I have seen it live played by great musicians, and it is different. You're right. Watching it live, played like a steel guitar player who knows his craft. That's that's I I enjoy watching that. But if you give me if you ask me to listen to music on, like, to to relax to or to do anything to The only thing I could do to country music is kill myself. Speaker 7
Alright. Well, again, again, like, whole party. Oh, Speaker 1
I didn't tell, like, that one Speaker 0
might be a lakers, but Speaker 7
I I know this is Zach segment, but I'll name like, again, wholehearted. Go listen to wholehearted. Right? It's a rock and roll song, but it's a country rock and roll song. By the band extreme that she might Speaker 2
not hurt. Yeah. And this coming from the person who loves blue rodeo. Speaker 0
But that's not kind Speaker 2
the the rodeo is in the name. Country. Speaker 0
It's not country. Speaker 2
It is country. Speaker 0
It's not it's roots rock. It's Speaker 7
different. It's it's country rock. It's it's like I'd call it Southern Rock, but it's Northern Rock. Speaker 0
Yeah. Southern Rock is is is what it is. That's different. Speaker 4
Southern rocks. Speaker 7
It's northern rock. Just because they're in Speaker 0
Canada doesn't mean it's not what they're playing is in Southern rock. Speaker 1
Hold on. Man, it's trying to get some words. Speaker 4
What else? Speaker 7
He hates Blue Road. What's that? Speaker 0
He's he's never heard of a blue road. Speaker 4
He was in Florida. Okay. Okay. We'll put it this way. If I hear country music, it affects my mood And therefore, based off of that. Now that it's affected my mood. It's affecting me. So therefore, I am double upset I shouldn't be. So Speaker 7
Alright. Okay. But, you know, the letter Kenny opening is a country song. Speaker 0
Yes. Yes. We know. Anyway, we're gonna move on, but, thank you. And, I can't wait until we get into this episode. Okay? Let's let's move on to the Twitter roll call. Speaking of support, Speaker 2

Previously on Letter Kenny. Speaker 0
Last week, we recapped and reviewed episode one of Letter Kenny season twelve live at Modines. That episode got from all of us except Victor and Daniel who gave it a clearance. According to our scientific Twitter poll, only sixty nine point nine percent gave it a fresh. Twenty six point seven gan noise gave it a clearance and three point seven gator compost. This week, a recap and review episode two season twelve Sun darts. Have you done your homework, Tanya? Speaker 2
One and a half times. Speaker 0
Yeah. You watched it upstairs just before he came down. That's where you're late. Matt, have you done your homework? Speaker 1
I I I got it in. Yeah? Speaker 0
Victor, have you done your homework? What it is. I've done my homework, and Zach have you done your homework? I see it Speaker 4
multiple times. Yeah. Speaker 0
Right there in front of you. Matt will do that later on in the in the new section. Alright. So let's open with the cold open. Squirrely Dan Katie and Wayne looking at the camera. Wayne says, your pal was telling a fight story that was obviously fake the other day. Katie asks Wayne, how she knows those fake squirrely Dan responds with way too much talk ins. Then we cut to squirrely Dan, Wayne, and McMurray sitting in front Woodshed having a smoke. McMurray's eager to tell them his story, but neither seem too eager to hear it. McMurray waits patiently as the other two hicks slowly light their cigarettes. And then they finally give McMurray the green light. McMurray kicks into a story of being down in Chilean, Patagonia in, Rio Serrano's finest casino. And meeting the hottest Chilean Patagonian he's ever seen. She started wrenching him out of nowhere, and his unlikely story continues. Speaker 3
I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around. It's this great big fella. He grabbed him by the collar. Had to be a foot taller than me. Couldn't believe how Tolly was. Or was he about two fifty pounds? He's three hundred pounds around a panda. Big boy. Speaker 5
It's pandemonium. Speaker 3
It's one of them. Didn't the eyes. Speaker 0
And I Speaker 3
said to him, I said, it's used me a big pepy. I'm busy. It is here in Centarita. Uh-oh. He looks down Speaker 0
at me. But he wasn't already looking at it. Speaker 3
And he says, me. He says, you're either crazy. Or you're tough as hell. What did you says? I said, look me in my eyes. Al Capitan. I might be a bit of both. Speaker 0
Unface squarely banned comments that it seems like McBorese has a lot of conversations like this with really big guys before he gets into a fight. Mc Murray said it it didn't end there. Wayne wishes it had. Mc Marie asked if squirrely Dan doubts his story, squirrely Dan asked him which one. Mc Murray offended. And then Wayne chimes in. Speaker 3
Oh, keep your tits on McMurray. Everybody knows this sort of shit happens down there all the time. A squirrely be. Speaker 5
Fuck now that I think of it. Almost exact same thing happened to me last time I was down Portify Art at Zona Romantica. A spoil ID. Speaker 3
Who's Zona? Oh, yeah. Where to Valerta's Romantica. Oh, haven't we? See, I'm Speaker 5
just standing there, drinking a beer, minding my own business. Six thing I know this great big prick walks up, kicks me right in the stomach. Oh, it was three fifty pounds where I'm a banjo catfish. Speaker 3
What'd you do? Speaker 5
Well, I caught his foot in the air. Put him down in the eye. And I says, Hey, Well, Chacho. No boy, no. Speaker 0
I believe you got that line from you. Anyway, now they have McMurray pro properly hooked. Willie Dan tells his story at the time. He was down in Gover Naderos, Valderas, and he was accosted by a literal giant. Four hundred pounds or wanes of wet pomeranian. Now that he thinks of it, the almost exact thing happened to Wayne last time. He was down in San Salvador a salvador de hoo hooie except this time it was brothers, seven feet tall and and wide, says squirrely Dan. Wayne and squirrely Dan get on a roll and McMurray's biting on all the stories. And Speaker 5
then Casas Brande. Victoria de conquistas. Brazario de Norte. Speaker 3
Boldus redundancy. Speaker 5
Oh, he was five hundred pounds or I'm a humboldt penguin. Speaker 3
Six hundred pounds or I'm fresh water eels. Speaker 5
One metric toner. I'm a common house spider. Speaker 3
Holy. I says, Hey. I'm egos. Compadry. Pizanos. Chubs, kick rocks. Speaker 5
Mind your p's and q's. Speaker 3
Smoke them if you got some. Speaker 5
What the fuck am I on? The countervans got no fucking veils. Wow. Speaker 3
Is that right? Speaker 5
No, Mick Murray, for fuck's sake. It's fucking fakes, Mc Murray's. Speaker 3
Well, how the fuck am I supposed to know that? Way too much talking. Speaker 0
And cue the intro. Alright. That's the cold open. Tanya, you just recently saw, like, literally, like, ten minutes ago. Speaker 2
I did. I did. Speaker 0
What did you think of this cold open? Speaker 2
Oh, Mick Murray. I just I I It's just bloody hilarious. He the tall tales that he tells, and I love that he was called out on it in such a playful way. Wayne and and squirrelie Dan, you know, telling their stories. And that's where you got the Paul Meridian from. Didn't know where that was coming in. But thank you for that for for saying it twice. Yeah. It I I love it. It's it's great. I have a storyteller in my family and I recently called them out on their BS and, so this hit home for me. Speaker 0
This is your father you're talking about. Speaker 2
No. This was my mom, actually. Speaker 0
They're both kind of storytellers, aren't they? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1
It's almost fun. The the the seems start to finish. I like sort of the the suspense at the beginning when he's ready to tell a story and they just like long drawn out pause while they like their smokes. I'm like, alright. Let's go that killed me. The exaggerations as they get deeper into their stories, how much bigger the people kept getting? Yeah. Actually killed me. And then I love at the end how McMurray thought it was all real, and they had to put it, like, it's all fucking fake. But, the real hero of this whole open And there's a trend in this episode I caught, and I wanna need to watch the gangs. I betcha this more, was the snatch reference. So with a part where he says, what I wanna caravan is gonna fucking wheels. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Speaker 1
That's a direct line from the one of my favorite movies, Snats, Brad Pitts. Speaker 7
Oh, no wonder I didn't understand it. Speaker 1
Yeah. So it's a random reference in there. But when he said that I I dropped I dropped. I died. I'm like, I love they threw that. I don't know what the relevance to it was. Right. I think they're just having some fun. I have repeated that line for years. Yeah. A plus on that. That's the MVP of that open right there. Speaker 0
Wow. There you go. Victor. Speaker 7
Well, I clearly I didn't get the the MVP of the the that for sure because, Speaker 1
Go back and watch. If you haven't seen the movie snatch Speaker 7
I've seen snatch, Speaker 3
but I Speaker 7
have to watch it twice cause I didn't understand it the first time. Speaker 0
Did you understand it the second time? Speaker 1
Or did you Oh, it's so good. I know, but it's just yeah. Oh, no. I so it's one of the few movies in my lifetime. I've actually seen twice in the theaters because I was that good. I went back and watched it again. And and I I had the extended version on DVD at the time. And then if you put on the subtitles, there's a lot of scenes when Brad Pitt speaking where it just literally comes up as question marks because he's not actually saying anything. Speaker 7
Yeah. Yeah. It's complete nonsense. That's why I watched it a second time. Yeah. I watched second time, and I still don't understand what you're saying, dude. Speaker 0
No. It's Speaker 1
He said, what am I gonna do with a caravan that's got no fucking wheels? Speaker 4
Oh, okay. Speaker 0
That Speaker 1
was that's what he said, but he said it. Yeah. And the gypsy piker stocks. So anyways Speaker 7
Okay. Well, it's cool. It's it's a nice little easter egg, I guess, for those that got it. Anyway, I I thought it was good. It was cute. A little bit corny, at times. I I the thing I enjoyed about it the most is, you know, the references or I'm not, like, a retired penguin or whatever. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. A humble penguin. Yeah. Speaker 7
Whatever, you know, or or I'm not a skinny panda or whatever the the the things were. Those were fun. I don't think I would have called it hilarious. It was amusing. It was amusing. It tickled it tickled my funny boom. Mhmm. But it didn't, fully erupting to laughter. Sure. But it was good. It was a little too much talking, but it was good. Speaker 0
Yeah. Awesome. With a great But Speaker 2
that was whole thing way too much talking. Speaker 7
Yeah. And they did they accomplished it, and I agree with him. Speaker 0
Yeah. Great point in the live stream. Awesome says the relevance is Brad Pitt is a letter Kenny fan. So the shout out to Brad Pitt or to snatch anyway, he's probably Speaker 1
I'm mad. I didn't put that together because I knew that. But that's a great great show to Speaker 0
Yeah. I'm I'm a little bit with Victor on this one. I missed the snatch reference, but And I also thought it was just okay. I mean, it was fun. It was it was amusing. And I I I loved how the stories were obviously getting more and more ramped up and and how Mick Murray's just Speaker 2
It's the it's the big fish. Speaker 1
Yeah. Speaker 2
And How big was the fish? Yeah. Fish got bigger and bigger. Speaker 7
Good movie, by the way. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yes. Very good movie. Big. Speaker 1
Very good movie. Speaker 0
Big Krish. Speaker 1
Great movie. Speaker 0
Yeah. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the cold open. I mean, I I would if if I were just giving this a rating, I would give it a clearance. It wasn't spectacular for me, but it was it was good. Zach? Speaker 4
I honestly I thought this thing was it was hilarious. Victor. I don't know what's what's wrong with you. Speaker 0
Zach is on tonight just to show how disappointing Speaker 7
I love how he picks on me. Like, he literally said the same thing, but he's picking on me. I love that. Speaker 4
You say this most silly state, most silly things. I don't know. No. I honestly I thought it was hilarious. Though, back and forth, at Mc Murray's expense and how he is always oblivious to this kind of shit. Speaker 2
Mhmm. Speaker 4
So they can do a whole runner in front of him and he doesn't understand it until they actually say something. Speaker 2
Mhmm. Speaker 4
But holy fuck. Like, when when, squirrely Dan, gets, called out by Mc Murray, for the, oh, you think I'm making this up? Right. Yeah. Which times? Speaker 0
Yeah. Exactly. Speaker 4
And then Wayne just like, alright. That's just hold on. We all know this kind of thing happens. And then he he says two lines and looks over to squarely Dan, like, Alright. You ready for it? Mhmm. And squirrely Dan doesn't even say a word. He just looks at him and blinks, and they just fall into it. Yeah. Love it. Speaker 0
It was great. Yeah. Also, I can't remember the last time they shot in front of the woodshed I think that I feel like that's, like, one of the first few times we've seen that. And we've seen a couple of different locations throughout In Speaker 1
this one. Speaker 0
This new season Speaker 1
Yeah. Speaker 0
On the farm, but but just kind of, yeah, different kind of locations. So that was Yeah. Speaker 1
Different backgrounds. Mhmm. Speaker 0
Agreed. Mhmm. Cool. Alright. Coming out of the opening theme, Wayne and Katie are at the produce stand. Katie wonders where Dar is. She didn't see him all day all the day before. Squid and arrives wearing a straw mennonite hat instead of his usual farmer's cap, both Katie and Wayne poke fun. He's almost yeah. He always had the mennonite beard, but now he's got the matching hat. Wayne adds he just needs the B. O. So when Dan says he usually that usually sets in after lunch. The comments but the hat continue. Speaker 3
Now here's Dan in this very smart Chapel while I'm still putting sunscreen on my ears like a sucker. I mean, this guy's trendy. He's hip. He's happening. Speaker 5
I'm pretty sure to wear that hat. Speaker 3
Gotta be over on a four minute mile. You know, Dan, I'd pay for some fashion tips, but I know how he maninates like the honor system. You already smell like summer sausage. This was a gift from Lavina's Dick. Oh. Careful calling that a gift. Won't be kept at a receipt. Called a regift. The fucking they run? Speaker 0
Screwly then admits that the more time he spends with Lavina's people, the more he sees merits in that lifestyle, hard work, peace making, general service towards others. Speaker 3
Yeah. I'm fucking pooping into a bucket in the yard. Justin for winter all summer sounds like a great time, Dan. Speaker 5
Nothing like the prospect Speaker 3
is shitting into a hole to make you wanna shake things up, bit it. Speaker 0
Just then, A truck pulls up the laneway hits Dickens. He gives squirrely down one final zinger about his hat before he gets to business. Speaker 3
Pretty sure to wear that hat. You gotta be able to throw a bar on up on lunch break. Speaker 0
That's a great line. Katie asked Dickens what brings him by. Speaker 3
You've always known me as a mono career man. The auctioneering profession has been kind to me over the years. The job is in my soul. Speaker 1
But is it in my heart? Speaker 3
The plot thickens for Jim Dickens. What's in your heart, Big fella? Country Music. Country's musics. Country and Western Music. Yes. Speaker 5
Is that right? Speaker 3
Now, my love for the boogie. But the boots get? Yes. My love of the boots Gooten Boogie is no secret in these parts. But what I have kept a closely guarded secret is my lifelong desire to give it a run like Brooks and Dunn. Get your fix like the check. I'm good and keen, like Jason Aldine. First of cars like Maren's Morris. No restraint, like Shania twain. Speaker 0
Do it Speaker 3
for the thrill, like Vince Gil or faith health. But see, I want to be better than good, like Carrie Underwood. Then quit Stalin Morgan Wallen. Get trying, Luke Bryant. See the days like Lady's Ayes. Y'all are so nice. Likely vice. Speaker 0
I knew some of those. Dickens has a plan to jump in head first. Speaker 7
Brooks and Dun are actually good. Yeah. Speaker 0
Okay. Write a song and make a music video, put it on YouTube and see what happens. Dickens says he knows how much the Hicks love country music. This gets a flattened o from Wayne. This surprises Dickens, but they're farmers. They were plaid. They shovel shit and grow vegetables. They'll they live in the country. They quite literally exist in the heart of the genre. Hicks just sit there stone faced, not even a bit, not one drill bit, not one bell pepper, Dickens is without words, but the Hicks finally relent. A little bit. Speaker 5
That's a lot a lot. Speaker 3
I guess I I guess I do like it a wee bit. Well, that'll do. Yeah. One dabble, do you. Everything in moderation, small doses is alright. I need all the help I can get. And when a friend asks for help, Speaker 7
you help him. Speaker 3
Thank you friends. Now come Let's join the others. Others? Speaker 0
Cut to the egg hall and scene teams. Speaker 1
That's my favorite line. Let's join the this. Speaker 0
And we find out who the others are. Stewart enrolled wearing berets, sunglasses, and scarves are standing on either side of a whiteboard, on it are drawings of a farm with animals and a cow with a guitar for some reason all around the title con Country one zero one. Their audience are the Hicks, including Mc Murray and Dickens but no dairy. Stewart takes his turn to make fun of squirrely Dan's hat. And then next, he asked his hic audience who is familiar with AI. Mc Murray surprisingly chimes in. He knows it stands for artificial intelligence. This impresses the skids. They were forced to use artificial intelligence, not because they don't have intelligence according to Katie, but because their knowledge of country music is limited. Katie asked McMurray how he knew what AI was. McMurray says it's what porno sites use to know, what you might jerk off to. To be the use of AI. Speaker 1
It's honesty. I never get tired Speaker 0
of it. Speaker 2
I miss that that's what he said. Yeah. That's exactly what he said. I couldn't Speaker 0
Through the use of AI on that dark web, the skids were able to determine the two essential elements to constructing a hit country song. The first one is a unique cook, which must also be used in the title of the song. Speaker 3
Thank god. Times of the country's boys? Dig deeper. Five and large homewares? Deeper. Save a horse ride a cowboy. Speaker 8
Giddy up. And that particular title teaches us a valuable lesson in the process. Just because it's unique does not mean it can't be dumb. Speaker 3
Dumb is almost preferable in a unique hook for a hit country song. Country and western. Speaker 8
We're looking for contagious dialogue here people. Coodables. Speaker 3
She thinks my tractor's sexy. Dumber. No shirt. No shoes. No problem. Dumber. Speaker 5
I've got it. Beer for my horses. Speaker 3
Bingo or an activity, something that you all do, something along the lines of, well, I don't know, the fishing in the dark. Darts? I was gonna say that too. Less mostly just smoking darts. Speaker 8
But it needs to be more catchy, more crafty, more clever. Needs to be more poetic. How about, smoking darts in the rain? Speaker 3
No. You can't do that. Speaker 4
Was there any So, I Speaker 1
mean, your your dart would go out. Okay. Speaker 8
So you're smoking darts Speaker 5
with a dryer. Speaker 0
Oh, after Speaker 3
you're on a small one. Speaker 8
Dry darts. Blue sky darts. Speaker 3
Best dart runs its worms. Speaker 7
Hot darts. Speaker 3
We're not trying to fuck darts. Marie? I'll try anything once. Speaker 8
Spoken in the summer. Sundair. Sund darts. Are hit single shall be christened. Sund darts. Speaker 0
Dickens thinks it's perfect. The others seem to agree. Katie raises her hand. She wants to know what the second essential element to construct a hit country song is. The skids laugh and flip over the whiteboard. The other side is filled with dozens of words commonly found in country songs Steward calls this as much hick shit as possible. Speaker 8
The goal with number two is to trigger the emotions or tug the heartstrings of hicks. And you do that by packing in as much hick shit as humanly possible. And at the top of that list should and shall be Speaker 3
Your mama? And your daddy. Hyper important to any hit country and western single. Your mama? In your daddy. What are you supposed to say about your mom and your daddy? Speaker 8
Oh, the meaning is irrelevant. Of importance are the words. Mama? And daddy. Speaker 3
So just your mama and your dad. Well, your mama and your dad air. My mama and my dad. Speaker 5
So it could be anybody's mama. Could be anybody's daddy. Speaker 1
It could Speaker 3
be more than one mama and more than one daddy. You've got multiple mamas and daddy's. You're really rocking. Speaker 0
Steward adds that everyone loves a good story, but the country music genre is impossibly forgiving when it comes to logic in the message. You've already got your unique hook sundaarts. Now you need only to insulate it with as much hick shit as possible. Trucks? Speaker 8
Truck parts even. Dirt rodents? Mutton. Blue jeans. Your favorite jean jacket, Speaker 3
sunsets, steel toes, swimming holes. Speaker 8
And there you have it, The formula. Speaker 5
What do we do now? Speaker 8
Frolgan and I will engross ourselves in manufacturing the song using AI algorithm and butts. Then we shall reconvene to shoot the video. To the video. Speaker 3
Here's something. My first time jerking off was to Schneider Twain Midriff in the video for any man of mine. Let's go, girls. Speaker 0
Let's see. Where am I? Dairy? Okay. Seeing next scene. Scene three. Dairy walks into modine's notices an attractive woman at the park talking to Bonnie. Riley and Jones are sitting at a table. They tell Dairy not to bother. She's a babe, a Mega babe, a ten ski, a twelve ski even, but she's unavailable. Dairy asked them how they know. Speaker 1
It's almost not worth repeating. Speaker 4
Well, what isn't? Speaker 7
What she said to us when Speaker 0
you took a run at her? Speaker 4
You took a run at her. Speaker 1
Yeah. Of course. You did, bro. You missed a hundred of the shots. You don't take. Speaker 7
Riley. Speaker 1
And he's Jonesie, and we're from Letter Kenny. And then? Speaker 2
She said they look like a couple of dads from teen mom. Speaker 0
Really? Speaker 2
Then she said they look like if Doritos made humans. Speaker 3
Then she asked me Speaker 1
if I'd ever been told that I look like Charlie Hahneman, And I said, no. And then she said Speaker 3
I said you didn't let me finish. You look great Charlie on him. Speaker 2
It's fun house mirror reflection. Speaker 0
It's not worth. Speaker 5
Yeah. You look like trying Speaker 3
to hunt if he was born into your snowball. I'm not saying Speaker 0
I'm trying to wheel you. Speaker 3
I've seen better wheels on a Dodge meeting at the dump. Speaker 0
Derry has a bit of a giggle at Raleigh Speaker 7
and George. I I should have I should have looked this up. Who's Charlie hun? Speaker 0
Hunnam. He's the hunnam. Speaker 4
I used to Speaker 1
sons of sons of Anna Speaker 0
the star of sun sons of America. Speaker 7
Oh, I never watched some Speaker 4
He's Jack's teller, bro. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. He never watched some. He was also in, that big robot movie, what what the hell is that movie? Anyway. Speaker 4
Pacific rim. Speaker 0
Yeah. Pacific rim. Yes. Yeah. He's an actor. You would know. He kinda looks I always thought he'd he'd be the perfect guy to play Kirk Cobain when he was younger. Now he's like, Jack. Speaker 7
I'll have to look him up, please. Speaker 1
He's a good actor. Speaker 0
Weird because he he he's British, but he's lived most of his life in California. So his British accent sounds weird. It's like a mix of of British and Californian, which is just a bizarre. Yeah. I can't see it. There he is. See, Victor, can you see it? That's a Speaker 7
Oh, that guy. Okay. Speaker 1
There you go. Speaker 0
So, Dairy has a bit of a giggle at Raleigh and Jonesy's misfortune, then the attractive woman sets her eyes on him. She asked Gary if he's the really funny guy. Her brother was telling her about from the bar the night the other night. Turns out she's Mickey's sister Harley. Played by Amelia Williamson, a Canadian actress known for Northern Rescue, the kid detective in level sixteen. Darry plays coy, but she knows who he is, six feet tall, blue coverall, curly hair. Riley and Jones are confused as usual. It's Daryl. Daryl. Right? He confirms, she's Harley, named after Charlie Sheen's character in hotshots. Speaker 1
Not for Harley. Speaker 0
Not after the motorcycle like Speaker 1
It will be reference number two, Speaker 0
which I I I mean, I love that she's indignant that she wasn't named after a motorcycle, but she's named after Charlie Sheen character from, a spoo like, basically a lampoon movie. It's hilarious. Speaker 1
Amazing movie. Come on. Speaker 7
Yes, Matt. Speaker 0
She did Harley invites a dairy to a party, and this makes Terry very happy. Cut to scene four at the farm, the skids start producing the music video for Dickens' future country hit sund darts with the help of the Hicks through the use of polling. No doubt is shouted to our scientific Twitter polls. The skids were able to determine the two essential elements and just constructing a hit country music video. Number one is man stuff. Speaker 3
What's man stuff? Speaker 8
Come here. I'll show you. Well, basically things that you would do every single day of your lives, but things rolled and I may never do in the entirety of our existence. Speaker 2
See. Sutter us? Yeah. Speaker 3
Fixing your truck. Speaker 8
Shoot and skate. Speaker 3
Cooking meats, fishing. Speaker 8
Arm rack. Slime. Just chucking the old pig skin around. Speaker 4
Just hawking a big loogie. Speaker 8
Starting a fire. Speaker 3
Maybe, putting a little sunscreen on each other's Speaker 8
back swinging you nuts. Speaker 1
Just take Speaker 3
a nice dip in the lake after. Speaker 8
Chugging a beer. Maybe you're certainly shoving that after. I don't know. We are going to shoot you guys performing a plethora of man stuff. An abundance of man stuff. An over abundance of man stuff. Speaker 3
Super abundance. Speaker 8
But for now, just smoking darts. Speaker 0
I just gotta say the skids miming in this episode is great. Like, if if you watch this episode again, just pay attention to them throughout. They're so they're so on point, in this episode. Mc Murray asks what the second essential element is. Just then we hear Katie calling Stewart's name. The camera cuts to her. Bonnie McMurray and Gail looking very sexy in cowboy hats and boots. Katie is wearing a leather bikini with leather chaps. So the second element is Bapes. Scene five cut to Dairy and Harley headed to the party. Harley is from Dongal. She was told that if you ever get to Letter Kenny, this is a spot to go. She has Dairy if he sees anyone he knows. The spot is overrun with DeGens, including Jive and Pete. Dairy says he doesn't know anyone. Just then, Mickey excitedly runs up to them still quoting lines from Dairy's stand up back the night before. Driving Pete and the rest of the DJ and All Stars finally noticed Dairy and call him out. Hardly is confused. She says she does he he said he didn't know anyone. Derry calls driving Pete an acquaintance. Pete's hurt by this. There was a time when Derry thought he was a good guy. Harley senses the d gens are on a biv on a are on edge a bit. Speaker 3
He ain't one of us. Speaker 2
What a who? Speaker 3
Us. Us. We use. Sand use. Speaker 9
For us, your use, and we're use, your use. Wait. What are use? Speaker 0
Us. Speaker 8
No. We're all us. Speaker 3
Except Daryl. Speaker 2
A Speaker 0
heck. Well, I'm a heck. Speaker 3
I'm a heck. No. Daryl has a different name Speaker 6
for us. Speaker 3
What is it you call us Daryl? Go on. Tell you new pals what it is you hicks like to call us. D gens. Sure. Speaker 0
Sure. Yeah. I always thought I was a hick, but Speaker 9
I guess that could be a bit of a degener. Speaker 3
I'm a bit of a degener too. You know what? So is Daryl. He's a DJ. Hold on. Speaker 9
Alright. Still in your barn clothes. Speaker 0
Hey, a Speaker 9
hot ass girl, right here to a party. Speaker 3
And your sister. Speaker 1
And Speaker 9
you didn't even think to change out of your muddy rubbers. Speaker 2
Oh, shit. Speaker 3
On those rubbers. Speaker 9
To even more degeneratives. Speaker 2
Nothing out of mine. Speaker 9
Yeah. Oh, you're Hairs dirty and teeth are yelling. You got food down the front of your shirt and even wet your nose on your sleeve. The smell of darts on you is more overpowering than the manure stink. And then look around good buddy. Like, you don't stand out. Hey, you fit in. Speaker 6
No, I Speaker 9
think it's about time you start looking at yourself in the mirror. Like, you always thought you were a hick, Speaker 4
but You're a d gen. Speaker 0
A whole lot of truth was heaped on dairy right there. Oh. Seeing six, Katimo Dean's, everyone who isn't a d gen, is gathered for the World Premier of Sundart's song and the and the video of the debut CD by Dickens, which is titled Tall Tales, Dickens gives a long speech about auctioneering being his job, but the amount of time he spent denying what his true is truly in his heart and soul, frankly sickened Jim Dickens. He, thanks everyone who helped him throughout the week, realized his country and western music, realizing his country western music dream. The skids remind him to thank AI and bots too. And without a further ado, Dickens presses play on the sun darts. Speaker 6
My daddy was a drifter. A mama just wasn't right. I brother said, forgive her, but it's just to put up a fight. But when the moon goes down and the lights come up, it's a lonely one He could lead me. I'll be smoking darts Speaker 1
in the sun. Talking Speaker 2
out sun. Speaker 6
Talk about broken hearts. Speaker 1
Set McCooey singing. Talk about I Speaker 3
don't know. Speaker 0
As I'm gonna guess it is. Speaker 6
Got caught. Speaker 7
It's supposed to be better. Speaker 0
The video consists of Hicks smoking darts surrounded by the babes, Katie Bonnie and Gail. Cuts of the babes washing a pickup truck while spraying each other with walk with the hoses. Then the Hicks tossing the football around, then everyone enjoying a puffers while Katie walks away into the woods to start those Canadian forest fires, according to Tanya. Cut to the d gens, dancing and partying, including derry, is having a great time dancing with Harley with his new group of friends. And we fade to black. And that's the episode. Speaker 1
And and it's very quickly. Awesome's already cut me off. That's Jim Cuddy, apparently. Speaker 0
Was that Jim? Okay. That makes sense. Speaker 7
Another famous, country song Faith The Black. Speaker 1
Canadian singer. Speaker 0
Canadian singer from Blue rodeo, Jim Carey. Jim Cuddy. Jim Cary. Speaker 1
Not from Blue rodeo. Speaker 0
Jim Cuddy. Speaker 2
Alright. Thank Speaker 1

Thank you. Ten. Hold on, sir. Speaker 4
Awesome. Mhmm. Yeah. Speaking of awesome. Congratulations on hitting over two two hundred and fifty thousand subscribers. Speaker 0
That's crazy. Yeah. Speaker 1

On the subreddit. Yeah. Congratulations. Speaker 2
Oh, that's amazing. That's Speaker 0
I mean, I don't we be congratulating her? It's just two hundred fifty thousand, like, more headaches. Yeah. Headaches that she has to deal with. Alright. We start with initial, you know, thoughts on this episode. And Tanya, you're first. What did you think of this episode? Speaker 2
There is a lot to unpack in this episode, like, a lot a lot. A lot to talk about. May I start with saying, I grew up on country music. Not only did I grow up group grow, Speaker 0
grew Speaker 2
grow up on country music, but Speaker 1
I done grew it up. Speaker 2
I I grew it up. My parents named me after a country music singer, Tanya Tucker. Speaker 1
Uh-huh. Speaker 2
That's how that's how into the country. Speaker 0
I found this out later. Speaker 2
You did not. That would Speaker 1
have been a deal breaker. Right? Oh, it's not gonna work out today. Speaker 7
I It it was past the return policy. Yeah. Speaker 0
I couldn't I couldn't signal after that. Speaker 2
You'd already told me you loved me. Speaker 0
Yeah. There you go. Speaker 2
Yeah. So, I grew up, square dancing, round dancing, cowboy hats Speaker 1
Hold on. What's round dancing? Speaker 2
Round dancing is when you do it in a circle. Speaker 7
I've never Speaker 1
I've I've never heard that term in my life. Is it ever that real thing? Speaker 4
Hootnanny. Hootnanny. Speaker 0
I've seen pictures of her parents at the square dances and and and her sitting. Speaker 1
See, I've heard square dance. I've never heard round dance. That's what I'm saying. Speaker 2
Yeah, line dancing. Speaker 3
Continue. Speaker 2
All all the all all of the all the shapes of the dances. I was Speaker 0
triangular dancing, but come on. Speaker 2
Yeah, my I grew up with like Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton and all all the all the older Yes. And good country. Speaker 7
Okay. Ours not good. Older is older. It is good. Speaker 2
It was it was great. It was great. Anyways, so that's where I'm coming from. So that being said, I did come away from country when there was too many cars or dogs chasing after trucks and and it it just got strange there for a little bit. And then I got back into country And when Al's away, I do bring out some because I don't want him to kill himself. Like, he's just referenced that he would if if he listened to it or Speaker 0
heard Very thoughtful of you. Speaker 2
So I play it. I play it on my own when I'm on. Yeah. So I I there there are a few, songs that I still listen to. Anyways, this episode, story line continues. Right? So usually we get one offs, like the little snippet here and there of references that are tied back to an earlier episode, but this one completely and utterly picks up where it left off. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Speaker 2
Derry is, still, with the d gen or or we know now that he's a degener. Mhmm. And, you know, Wayne and Katie, squirrely Dan has, has his hat. The one liners in this episode were phenomenal. Like, truly, truly amazing, amazing one liners I could literally watch this episode on repeat. There's so much to to to that you may miss when you first watch it that you will pick up the second, third, fourth, fifth time because there is just so there's so many great like laugh out loud moments. This and and and I truly do, and as everyone knows, I I appreciate it when the skids and the Hicks work together. That's what sealed me on fart book. That's how I I crossed over to the other side. Speaker 0
To the dark side. Speaker 2
The skids whispering. They're all their little whispers, and and they're just floody, hilarious. They are so, so funny. Smoke, smoking in the in smoking darts in the rain and why you wouldn't do that or having sex with darts, like, there again, there's just so much going on. Oh my gosh. There is. Oh, my. And and Dickens saying, pretty sure to wear a hat like that. You must, you have to throw up a barn on a lunch break. Speaker 0
Yeah. That's that was my favorite line. Speaker 2
Love that line Speaker 0
so much. This of of squirrely dance hat anyway. Yeah. Speaker 2
And, Sunda, what's what's man stuff enrolled saying, come here and I'll show you. And there was also another one, a role said, something about Darl Dolly Parton, and he said working six to nine, which is her new remix of working nine to five. She says working six tonight. Speaker 0
Oh, he says, he worked six tonight. Speaker 2
No. Her new re revised working nine to five. Is it? She has Really? Working six to nine. And you wouldn't know that because you don't live in the country. But, yeah, her new re revision on that is six to nine. So that's that's in there. Derek being a degenerent, when he gets called out on him wearing his boots and wearing his overalls and being picked up by a hot girl and to go to a party and he doesn't change. And the way he smells, and that moment was just so huge. Yeah. I think that was just such a heavy, heavy moments. Speaker 0
Gary had a whole bunch of truth dumped on him. And, Speaker 2
yeah. Yeah. So it will be interesting to see where that goes from from here. Speaker 1
Mhmm. Speaker 2
And how that progresses. But, yeah, those are my first thoughts. Speaker 1
Yeah. I wouldn't say there's a I mean, I know Tanya said there's a lot to unpack. There's enough to unpack is what I would say. I like this one. I think it's solid. From a storyline perspective, let me back up. What I like here is this one felt like sort of an old fashioned letter Kenny episode with sort of a basic, simple concept of, hey, let's dive in and country music and have some fun. But what they did well is they, at the same time, very effectively carried the story forward on the side. So they they've I don't think they've ever done a really good job of doing both of those things simultaneously obviously. And this one I thought was really fun because the country banter was was a blast where they like it or hate it personally. I actually like country. I'm not a massive country fan by any means. I am very eclectic when it comes to music. I'll listen to everything. I go in and out of phases. It's not something that's a regular rotation, but I don't mind it. I will say that for the record. But I thought this Speaker 0
was I don't see any cowboy hats hanging on your wall. Speaker 1
No. No. I used have three, actually. Speaker 0
Yeah. Three cowboy hats? Okay. Speaker 2
How many cowboy boots? Speaker 0
How many pairs? No boots. Speaker 2
No boots. Speaker 1
Boots, just hats. Speaker 4
Yeah. The boots good and boogie. Speaker 2
Yeah. Speaker 1
I'm not a not a boot guy. Not I'm not gonna do shoes. I could kill us with my feet. Talk them. But Speaker 2
that. That's a Speaker 0
bizarre thing. Okay. Speaker 1
Dickens was great in this one. Speaker 0
He Speaker 1
came out his disappointment on his when they said they don't like country music and his entour or his how he just paraded them with stereotypes. Absolutely slayed me. I thought that was such a good space, and he was so just blown away. And then the recovery. When they're like, well, maybe a bit and then Mhmm. You see them like, okay. I got I got all I need. That's I'll take it. I thought that was really good. The banter all in it in ten. You said it some of the lines, I think, was brilliant. This was a really well written episode. I will say that. The banter leading up to the name Sund Arts, I thought was really strong. Them sort of bouncing ideas around. It was like a big brainstorm session. Then they just is that aha moment of Sund Arts. Absolutely killed me. And on the same one, the with the d gens with the US bit, really made me laugh. It was so dumb. But when they're like, you, us, us, yeah, you're us. Yeah. Speaker 0
There's a bit of an avid in Castelo kind of routine there. Yeah. Speaker 1
Absolutely. And it was it was perfect for them because they're the d gens. But it was so appropriate and I thought that was really smart. And then the music video just I couldn't help but smile the whole way. It was a it was a how did Jerry describe, like, the, it took a swing. Right? Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 1
And I think this one was fun. I I was was I didn't to get an actual video. I thought maybe a little bit, and then they played it out. It was a lot of fun to watch. It all come into play. And and really well done, to be honest. Speaker 0
One hundred percent. Yeah. Speaker 1
Yeah. I it was a very well done scene, and I liked that it kind of ended on that note where you saw the the tail end of Dairy's story Mhmm. Was fantastic. The only thing I'll call out too, the movie references. I was really loving these and that's why Normally, I watched the the show realistically two or three times before we do these. I only got one through it once this time at a crazy week. But I caught three movie references. We've already talked about two of them. So there was a snatch one in the cold open. The topper Harley reference from hotshots. Mhmm. The more subtle one at the end. Well, maybe it wasn't even that subtle was Riley and Jonesie. It was a top gun reference, one hundred percent. And in the music video, they're standing shirtless and jeans with the dog tags on them. Oh. Doing high fives. And so it was absolute shout out to top gun playing with the boys. While they're playing volleyball, and I love that. So I feel like I need to watch. Maybe there's more in there that I just have missed. But for whatever reason, this one, they decided to throw in some random movie references, and I'm or it. Speaker 0
Awesome. Victor. Go ahead. Speaker 7
Yeah. I tend to agree with Matt. I I think that, there wasn't I don't think this was a loaded episode. Like, certainly not like we've seen in Shoresy. Like this this does this this almost felt like almost an incomplete episode, if you will, just because the the last part was basically Speaker 0
The music over Speaker 7
to the music video. Right? And and I think the other thing that was a little reversed from the kind of, old letter Kenny is typically what we'd get is like two two or three story lines, a major story line and kind of two filler story lines. Here we got two story lines, but the the the the filler story line was the major one. And and and the, you know, the meaningful story line was kind of hidden in the background a little bit with Dairy. And the, you know, the continuation and kind of the gimmicky kind of silly story line was was the one that we were in the whole the whole time throughout. So, you know, it it was good. There's, again, all the references. I loved the one liners, the with the, you know, the kind of jabbering at each other with the, you know, with the hat. That was fantastic. That's the kind of stuff I love because it's the kind of stuff that I do with my my friends and whatnot. So, you know, that tender, brutality and and, I really loved it. A country, I I love the fact that it was a music theme and it was the fact that it's country music as it's funny. I I don't I'm not a country music fan. Like, I I don't have country music on my playlist, but what I do have are these instrumentals and and you know, for anybody out there who just wants to, like, Al, who wants to just shove country music all into one category, go listen to, let's say, the clap by by yes. Yes as a band from the seventies. And and and and Steve Howe was, on one of the greatest one one my guitar here was when I was, kind of growing up. And he has an instrumental. It's called it's called it's called clap, not the clap. I know people are getting cringy. But it's called clap and it's absolutely fantastic. And it's there's no singing. It's just an instrumental and good listen to it and it falls under the country category. And I challenge you to come back and tell me that you didn't like it. Right? So it's that's my challenge out there to to everybody that says they don't like country. And and as a guitarist, as a guitar player, I think it's important to have a foundation of every style in your, it kind of in your repertoire. Even country. And it I don't, you know, you go talk to any metal head, any metal guitarist, and they will tell you about they they will be able to play country for you because it's it's one of the foundations that you need. There's no such thing as a country scale. You know, they have like the blue scale and And and the country scale is interesting because it's really combining the major scale and the minor scale together and it's really using your creativity and understanding what sounds good. And making it, you know, taking something that is very, I don't know, clinical and making it into something very interesting. So I, you know, it's I love country instrumental music. I think it's fantastic. Stuff like, you know, the stuff that Tanya grew up on, I can kind of leave it, but, there you go. Speaker 0
Okay. I enjoyed this episode. Yeah. Throwback Letter Kenny in the sense that they've decide it's a it's a concept episode. They decided to take a topic and tackle it. They've done, you know, reality shows. They've done, social media. And this one here, they wanted to prove that Country Music is formulaic garbage and weak, anyone can write a country song and make it sound like the stuff you listen to on the radio. And I gotta say the final results here, Sund Arts, I I I can see myself going over to my brother in sister in law's house and hearing this song. Because they they nailed it. They nailed it. And, yeah, granted, I'm not a big country music fan, but what I heard in this episode sounds the same as every everything else I've heard. Speaker 7
But you can say that about a pop song as well. Sure. Yeah. You can say exactly the same thing about a pop song. Speaker 1
What would be really funny to find out if there was truth behind it that they actually used AI to write it. So they took their sort of brainstorm board, the title, the genre threw it into, like Speaker 0
Well, I mean, the the the fact that they had Yeah. The fact that they had, you know, legendary Jim Cuddy helping them out on this makes sense. Right? So I get it. But at the same time, this this was a song that was written just for this episode. You know, it's kind of a joke song, but if you listen to it, it's no better or worse than any other country song that's out there right now. Speaker 1
To buy his Sundars as a generational song. Speaker 0
Yeah. Like, I've already heard people. I I went online. I checked out on, like, YouTube and all the comments saying, this needs to be on spot I wanna listen to this song over and over. Speaker 7
I just wanna remind you guys, like, the bear naked ladies, they started out making joke songs. And, you know, Speaker 3
if I Speaker 7
had a million dollars was a joke song and it became Speaker 0
I'm just saying they absolutely crushed their thesis for this episode. Yeah. They did it. They did it really really well. I applaud them the story line for dairy, I'm I'm really loving that, but I'm also love and and again, I I'm not a big country music fan, but I love what they did Speaker 7
with this. And and one more connection, you know, any eighties and into the nineties, a little bit until Grinch, kind of, took over. Every metal band, rock band, metal band always always have to have at least one ballad Mhmm. On on their album just because it it had to happen. And the heavier bands, the ones like anthrax, you know, they started releasing ballad songs just for the same reason to show how derivative and stupid it is. Mhmm. And they started doing it. And exactly And it was Speaker 0
probably their, like, their most popular songs. Speaker 7
And they they were. They were popular because it was new and different. Right? But, but You gotta Speaker 0
pay the bills. Speaker 1
Yeah. You need those madhouse. Speaker 0
Anyway, it's a it was a lot of fun. I'm I'm loving the Dairy story line. I'm loving and and again, that scene where Mickey and Harley are saying to Dairy why aren't you a g DJen? Look at you here. You're dressed like one. You smell like one. Everything about you is the dairy? Is a degenerent. The only reason he he's with the Hicks is because of his history with with Wayne and Katie. Otherwise, everything about him is kinda degenerate. Speaker 2
But he doesn't do degener things. Speaker 3
Well, doesn't he? Speaker 0
Doesn't he? Speaker 7
I don't know, showing up on a date with poo on your on your shoes. Is that not a degenerain thing? Speaker 0
Kinda kinda degenerain. So, yeah, I'm really enjoying that. And again, the skids were a lot of fun in this one. Like, like, the pantomiming throughout this whole thing was was a lot of fun. Zach. Speaker 4
Yeah. Huge, huge fan of this episode, especially speaking to all the, one liners and quips. Especially about, when, squirrely Dan's hat changes after the cold open, And it just goes on from there. Everyone just gives them shit over and over and over again. I I I can't get over that. I gotta say my favorite line was, stew rats Speaker 2
Mhmm. Speaker 4
With the, I'm pretty sure to be able to wear that hat. You have to be able to pickle peas with ease. Speaker 0
You're all good. Speaker 4
Yeah. But he but he, like, giggles at the end when he says And it just gets nothing, like, just nothing but not, you know, shaking head from squirrely down. He every time someone calls him by, he just Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. Because we Speaker 4
guys, like, damn it. Like, again? Yeah. Speaker 0
He had no response for any of it, but he shoulda shoulda seen it coming. Speaker 4
And as for the whole, country aspect of this thing. I thought it was hilarious. Well, the most clearest was the algorithm that when they flipped over the whiteboard, it is Speaker 0
Perfect. Speaker 4
Yeah. That is ex I I read everything on there. I'm like, this is the most accurate thing I've ever seen in my life. Speaker 1
Mhmm. Yeah. I took a picture of it and sat down and read it and paused just so I could make sure I caught everything. Speaker 4
Yeah. That's what I did too. I took a picture Speaker 0
of it, Speaker 4
and I was like, hold up. I gotta see this. And everything is it's so on point. It's it's hilarious. Yeah. It it it yeah. It's get given it's a music episode, I Just like you, Al, I fucking hate country music. Like, I so, like, Speaker 0
open your heart. So you appreciated what they were doing here. Speaker 1
More or less. Speaker 0
Yeah. Perfect. Alright. Speaker 4
But it yeah. It was yeah. It was just the whole the whole, like, hey. I think it was, like, you know, pretty much the first sixty percent of the episode was them just discussing it. And then the last was the whole music video. Speaker 0
Yeah. And that video was so good. Speaker 1
It was so good. So well. Speaker 4
Yeah. The song the the song also sounded like professionally done as well. Oh, yeah. Like, to what you guys were saying, I was wondering the same thing. I'm like, did someone actually do, like Yeah. Speaker 1
Was anyone else was anyone else thinking, like, when you saw the original So trailer for season twelve, and you saw Katie walking through the woods in her outfit. Mhmm. I remember thinking, okay. Wow. For one, but two, How does that fit into this season? Like, it looked so sort of fake. Now it all makes sense because it's a music video, but I'm like, I couldn't in my wildest dreams fathom how that moment was gonna incorporate into the season. Speaker 4
I saw I saw the three of them at once. I didn't see just Michelle Mylett. I got to see, you know, k Katie Gail and Bonnie all at the same time. So I was, like, Okay. Let's, Speaker 7
figure it out. Speaker 0
I gotta say that, leather bikini that Michelle was wearing, you should put it in the Smithsonian right beside Laus, gold bikini. I think it's, just as iconic now. With the chaps though. It's gotta be with the chaps. Speaker 4
Al, you are one hundred percent. Speaker 0
Oh, man. Speaker 2
That is correct. Speaker 0
Alright. Let's move on to ratings, Tanya. What do you give this episode? Speaker 2
I I do need to add that we didn't talk about Wayne with his boots off at the produce stand. Speaker 1
I caught that. Speaker 0
Oh, I didn't even notice. Speaker 4
Bear footed Wayne. Yeah. Speaker 2
Bear footed Wayne don't think we've ever seen his feet. Speaker 0
I feel like there have been other times where you've had we just had his boots on. Speaker 2
I don't Speaker 1
have a call. And we'll see if awesome tells were right now. Speaker 2
I don't recall. The boots Speaker 7
were at the shop. Speaker 2
Ever His feet or his boots ever being off. Beside his, and and him having his boots off. I really appreciate that this the pace was slower. I I was able to catch all of those quick witted lines. I I really, as I said, oh, oh, one of the other things was, fishing in the dark. I think it was rolled that said it, and it's one of my favorite songs. Speaker 0
Of course, it is. Speaker 2
I I will play that. Speaker 7
I thought that was your bedroom. Speaker 3
I Speaker 2
will play that song very, very loud and just go just go crazy. Speaker 4
Yeah. No. No one ever would have thought that. Speaker 2
And and I and I love when, who was it now? Oh my gosh. It was, squirrely Dan when he was talking about, Lavinia, Levin's dickens's Speaker 4
Lavena. Speaker 2
Lavena. Lavena. Making his hat, but it made it sound like her dick made his hat. The way he said with too many s's on it. Anyways, everything was just bloody funny. It's a course of fresh. Speaker 0
Alright. Fresh. By the way, Tobias says, yes, we have seen his feet. And awesome says, yeah, Wayne, rod dogs rod dogs the ground pretty consistently. First time was in season one in fart book. Speaker 1
Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I just I I caught that too and wondered the same thing. So I'm with you ten. Speaker 2
I didn't. I've I've don't recall ever seeing it before. Speaker 1
I'm not sure we're, I'm not sure we've our resume strong enough. Speaker 7
That's because you're not distracted by feet. No. Speaker 0
Apparently not. Matt. It's to you. Speaker 1
Yeah. This this was a fun one. Like I said, and and you called it. This is a concept episode. But what they did effectively was carry a story line Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 1
Along with the concept, which they don't normally do. Normally, they stick to the concept, and that's basically all we get with maybe some filler in between. And I think it was really effective. There were some some of my favorite banter I've seen in a while, and big kudos to the music video because that was so much fun. So, to me, this was, yeah, this was definitely a French. Speaker 0
Okay. Victor. Speaker 7
Yeah. So I think, you know, with the Dairy Story Line kind of buried a little bit, and then in the end, it's kind of even buried inside the music video. I I almost had to kind of think, wait a second. What happened? Did they make up and they brought Dairy and his friends back? And they're all in the music video or it's just the they're kind of they're taking their creative liberties by we're in the music video, but then we're also getting cutaways of what's happening in the because they're dance because they're dancing but they're dancing to the song that we're listening to. Sure. Speaker 1
So I I will kinda support you now when I was confused for a second. I didn't see the clean-cut between the music video No. Speaker 7
You're in it. Speaker 1
Very They're Speaker 7
they're worse than the video. Speaker 1
Yeah. I'm like, wait. They're in the so I do give you that one. Uh-huh. Speaker 7
Yeah. So I feel like they're dancing. Like, I'm very curious. Like, I almost wanna know, like, what happened from him standing there in an awkward way of realizing that he's a degener to them kind of all, you know, doing the hoedown together. Mhmm. But somehow magically in sync dancing to the same video that we're watching. So Magic television. Yeah. Exactly. And that's the thing. Like, are they gonna continue with that? Like, it's I'm very curious about what happens in episode now. I have not watched ahead. I am gonna be watching, just in time before our our shows. But, so I'm very intrigued. And I I think that's that's a good thing about an episode when it kind of leaves you wondering what's gonna happen next. I think without the music video, this would have been teetering between fresh and and, clearance for me as an episode. But, I mean, they went ahead and wrote a whole song and recorded a video. With some of the most exciting, eye candy that you'll, have a chance to see in twenty twenty four. So I think, you know, you know, I And it's only January. Exactly. So I think you're, you know, you have to give it a fresh. Speaker 0
Okay. Zach, you had something you wanted to say about, the transition in the video from the video to the DJen party or Speaker 4
I don't know. And, I don't They I I do I do know that, they went into I think it was maybe, what, two scenes there at the end of the episode where they they went through the entire song, but it was just the, like, the last two scenes where it was Dairy and, ARly dancing. Speaker 0
Yeah. I believe they cut right after, Katie walks away into the woods. They cut from that to the DJen party and they finished the episode on the DJen party. I'm pretty sure. Speaker 7
Yeah. But they did go back and forth a little bit. Speaker 2
Did they? Speaker 7
I think they went to the Genen degeneren party. Then we saw the video then the degener and that's why it made it it was interlaced. Right. Speaker 2
Okay. Speaker 5
And Speaker 7
that's what made it interesting. Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. It was like, yeah, cut ins and whatnot, but I I still thought it was strange as well. Mhmm. But, you know Speaker 0
Alright. Well It Speaker 4
is what it is. Speaker 0
So it's my term for my rating, and I give this one. Fresh. Speaker 3
I regret nothing. Speaker 0
So obviously a fresh. Ellen, we have Victor's unicorn background and his unicorn stuffy. Speaker 4
Thank you for acting, what my, rating was. Speaker 0
Yeah. I mean, they presented their thesis at the beginning of this, and they knocked it out of the park. By creating a song, an actual song, like, from beginning to end with the video. Speaker 7
Just just sec. Zach, we'll get to you for your run rating. It's it's it's I think Al is gonna get to you once. Speaker 0
Yeah. We usually do the four and and that decides the unicorn. And then we do our guest. Speaker 4
Okay. Speaker 0
So, yeah, it's a fresh. I loved every bit of this episode, even though the the subject matter is something I'm not a fan of, I like the way they tackled it, and I think I think they did a great job. So, definitely refresh. So Zach, unicorns in the books the pressures off you, you can give this one a compost because I know you want to. What what do you give this one? Speaker 4
As far as music, maybe. But, content content wise, no. It's, definitely a refresh for me. I love every part of this. I I was just laughing from pretty much beginning to end Mhmm. Especially with, Nick Murray getting fucking riddled in the beginning. And then it went straight, you know, swirly down with the hat. Like, it It was just nonstop quips and jokes. Love it. Speaker 0
Alright. Next up, we have MVPs. This one should be interesting, Tanya. Who would you give the MVP this to? Speaker 2
This is hard. This is really hard. I I really feel like this there were so many superstars. There were so many great one liners. There were so many people that did an amazing job. Dickens, like, he really brought it this episode. Like, he Speaker 0
In the music video, if you watch it, like, he's he's, like, doing some heavy, like, hit thrusts and and just just a lot of, like, yeah, it's really funny. Watch him in the video. He's he's really good in it. Speaker 2
Yeah. Again, like, so so many great. The kids, they nailed it. They they brought it with their AI and their their whispers. I I so funny to me that I still love them, as much as I do, with not liking them as much as I did. Katie's outfit. Holy Hannah. Speaker 0
She was That's MVP worthy. Speaker 2
She really truly. That, wow, girl. Like, wow. Like, bravo. But it was a it was a great. Oh, good lord. She could she could turn me. I think she could turn me. So, I think I'm gonna go with, Katie is my runner-up. But and Dickens gets the gets the number one. Speaker 0
Dickens? Yeah. Matt. Yeah. Speaker 1
I I agree. This one's a tough one. Everybody brought it. There's so many great performances. I'll go with my honorable mentions and then my MDB. Some honorable mentions to me were McMurray. I loved his parts. He had some really good lines. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Speaker 1
That just made me laugh out loud. And and I agree with Tanya Dickens as well. Another honorable mention, he really brought it. But the real star of this episode was Sund Arts. To music video. Really? Okay. Okay. Why? Speaker 0
Oh, no. Right. No. Okay. Speaker 3
Yeah. Whoa. Speaker 0
Mhmm. That's just a it's a Victor pick, but okay. Sundard's Speaker 1
think that one's. Victor would pick the score or the squirrel or chipmunk that ran Speaker 3
Oh, the chipmunk. It distracted me too. It saw that too. Right? Speaker 2
Oh my god. I was like, Chimunk, and it caught Speaker 3
me at both times. Speaker 1
My MVP. K. Speaker 0
Well, well, let's not let's not, take Victor's, we made Speaker 1
one the game Speaker 0
Maybe this could be the first Speaker 2
Oh, virtual high five. Speaker 7
Not even close. Speaker 0
Not even close. Victor, Speaker 3
what was your MVP? Speaker 7
You know, much like in the real world. And again, this rate this this this MVP goes to somebody within the universe, not not outside of the Right? So and much like what happens in the real world, the people that never get any, you know, recognition are the true, creative team behind the magic. And in this case, the creative team is AI. And that's who needs to get. Because because because did you see did you see a single musician anywhere anywhere on the grounds, anywhere in the music video? No. Which means that in this universe, this was one hundred percent created by AI. Speaker 1
I I really do hope that AI wasn't, like, a chat JPT or something was involved in the writing. I'm sure Speaker 7
it wasn't just for copyright purposes. Speaker 0
When you think the timing though, like so this app is this was shot last September, not this past September, but the September before. So that would have been what? Twenty twenty two as those written before that. Was AI there yet today? Speaker 7
AI has been around for twenty years. Speaker 3
One was in Speaker 0
there, but Speaker 7
chat to BT is is is generally is only about a year old. So Yeah. But but I, you know, I even if it was over the mainstream a year ago. I don't think they would have used it for writing writing this stuff. But in the universe, it was absolutely AI that did it. And therefore it gets my game stick. Speaker 1
And we do have a winner to bias guess that accurately. Speaker 0
To bias, I think is the first one, the first one to every guest of Victor MVP. Speaker 1
In grads, Tobias. Speaker 7
You get my game stick, Tobias. Speaker 0
Let's see now. Oh, it's my turn for an MVP. Okay. I love again, I love that scene between Mickey and her, Harley. Harley when they were heaping all that truth on Daria. Unfortunately, this is a really short scene, but I really enjoyed that scene. I kinda I love the skids in this one. I thought the skids were a lot of fun in this one throughout the whole the whole time. Watch them again. Like, every time they're they're throwing out ideas, they're also pantomiming them, and some of them are just so funny. Speaker 5
This spinning. Speaker 0
Oh, the Speaker 1
word of today's episode. Speaker 0
Oh, it is Speaker 2
spand of mine. The spit. The spit. Speaker 3
I'm not they're amazing. The Hawking Speaker 0
and Elugi or whatever they call spit and and, Speaker 2
like, it didn't go. Speaker 0
The most, it was so funny. So I think I'm giving it to the skids. I'm giving it to the skids in this one. Speaker 1
Oh my god. Speaker 0
Zach. Uh-huh. Speaker 4
No. I'm I'm sorry. The the hawk a big loopy, and they're both like Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying. Speaker 4
Nothing comes out. Speaker 7
Placid leaves? No. It's yeah. Speaker 4
It's definitely a fresh one hundred percent. Speaker 3
But you're on VP. You're on VP. You're on VP. Speaker 7
Oh, indeed. Speaker 1
You did not already, Zach. Speaker 7
Sorry, Tanya. This one. Speaker 4
Got my notes right here. My MVP is, Dickens, for sure. Speaker 0
Okay. Speaker 3
Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1
Well deserved. Speaker 7
That was yours too. Right? Speaker 2
It was. Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 4
I wrote I wrote down Dick's skin, but Speaker 0
yeah. I mean, he was and I loved that he was given something more than auctioneering to do in this one. I think this is this is also, you know, a nice gesture, I think, by by, Tiquiso. Speaker 2
Did you see him pull up in the pickup? Like, he can barely like, his whole head is, like, like, All you see is, like, nose down. Speaker 0
By the way Speaker 2
It's like they had him on, like, a booster. Speaker 1
Fucking tall. I've met the guy. Speaker 5
He's tall. Speaker 0
Awesome says Flasted Lougees is the title of your sex state, Victor. Speaker 2
Awesome. Speaker 7
The awesome heard me say that, Speaker 0
I guess. Speaker 7
Oh. She's listening. I'm I'm happy. Speaker 1
Did Speaker 0
you guys catch the the the name of a dickens CD is tall tales. I thought that was kind of fun. Speaker 2
And I wrote down tall tales right there. Speaker 0
Yeah. Alright. Let's move on to quickly to some, Matt. Did you have something you wanted to share with us? Speaker 1
Yeah. So last week, Tanya, you did your thing. And it was amazing. And, of course, Tate and Webb, Trace and Liz wrote that fantastic opening. And, of course, people spoke. So I wanted to share some feedback that, and I'm if I missed anyone's comments, I apologize. There was a lot coming in from all over, but It it was big. So I wanted to share some of the comments that came in around your opening, because I think it's great to celebrate such a fantastic moment in our podcast. So, here's a few of them that that I caught. So first off, we have this is such an iconic moment for the produce stand podcast. Props to trace and Liz for penning this gen, Jim, and Tanya for bringing the heat. And that was from Cassie. We got Hell, yeah. Fuck yeah. Simply bad ass from her boy, Don. Tanya, your delivery of these those amazing words was incredible. I had to keep reminding myself that it was you and not Michelle. Well, well well done. And that was from Adrian. A couple new ones I found if you guys voted for MVP of the podcast episode, Tanya would have definitely earned a unicorn, best opening ever. And that was from at skull puppy eleven. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Thank you skull puppy. Speaker 1
Yeah. Thank you skull puppy for that one. Speaker 7
It's a Speaker 1
great comment. This one I I just this one made me laugh. Fridays are for breakfast with Tanya spit and fire. And that's from her buddy Mike Pennelli. Speaker 2
Love that. Speaker 1
Another new name that I that I'm not familiar with, but I really like this one. I just wanna say what an incredible job the writers of the opening and Tanya did. That took a lot of courage and talent to pull off. Had it been mishandled or lacking in any way, it would have been peak cringe? And instead it was terrific. Great job. And that was from at Adled Pixie. Speaker 2
Mhmm. Speaker 1
Thank you so much for your comment on that one. Yeah. Speaker 0
I remember seeing that that comment tune thinking, yeah, that was a really good one. Speaker 1
Yeah. It was fantastic. This one was a quote from Aaron. Tanya's hard work dedication and commit to this opening emanates with every syllable. The energy, pacing and tone she puts to the spectacular words of Liz and Trace deserves everything. Blown away is an understatement bravo. We also have and thank you, Aaron, for that one. That intro is straight fire and Speaker 2
cry Speaker 1
incredibly written and so well performed from her boy Joey. And then last three I have here were ones that that that made me smiley a little bit even bigger. So this one says, the feature I didn't know I needed, laugh out loud, and that was from Jo Dolo. Going gold. Don't love. Another one from from the crew. Who knew the hottest track of twenty twenty four would come as early as January. And that was from Drew McCloud, editor for the show. Speaker 0
Just, I think he'd just been nominated for a few Canadian screen awards. Yeah. I Speaker 1
got one for, I think, episode six of season two, I believe it was. And I can't I think there was a letter Kenny one there to catch which episode it was, but well deserved. So congrats Drew on that one. And then the last one was simply an applause. From the from the one herself Michelle Mylette. So she did go and check this out. So, Tanya, fantastic job table web.
