Things are tense as the episode begins. Now that Dairy and the De gens are friends. A new friend and Katie have fun, but could Wayne and Rosie be done? On to snoopers with the skids in the end. Speaker 1
Okay. We'll be there in letter, Kenny, in an hour or so. Any idea where you wanna go or what you wanna do? Speaker 2
Not really. Let me look up some things to do. Things to do in letter. And, oh, this looks interesting. Speaker 1
Oh, are there any good places to eat? Speaker 2
There's a one star rating here titled Bad Restaurant. From a user called Slippy Balenboy seven. This rebald restaurant has a despicable taste in music. The so called DJ is used in an ipod nano filled with pop star mashups with Taudreich Pural lyrics and a simple dance baseline. They should be playing the latest in underground Nigerian neuro folk. Even Neoapolitan funk would be better than the trash played by them. I will not be patronizing this establishment. Speaker 1
Okay then. I'm not even sure what I was supposed to take from that. It sounds like it was written by someone nestled firmly underneath the top Speaker 2
Right? Maybe we could try this place. Modines, from user Karen, one star review. Modines three is a very unsanitary establishment. I went to use the bathroom after having a very undercooked mojito chicken breast and greasy for eyes. There's excrement on the outside of the toilet and on the walls of the stall. On top of it all, the bartender and waiter were making suggestive comments about my husband. I will not be eating here again. Speaker 3
Do you think there's something Speaker 4
Absolutely. Speaker 2
Cassie. Cassie. Wait. There's a reply from the owner to that one. You can just Right off. My chicken is the best you'll ever have, and your hubby was making eyes of me the whole night. I was flicking all night from seeing that bear of a man. Post has been edited by moderators due to the graphic nature of the response. Speaker 1
Well, that's a thing. And, where did those beeps come from. You know what? Never mind. There's gotta be somewhere we can go. Right? Speaker 2
Dollar store smells like. Farks. I want to link this place, but I give it zero stars if I oh, here we go. Five stars. Speaker 1
Oh, thank goodness. What you got there? Speaker 2
The produce stand, five stars. This family owned and run produce stand is everything you'll ever need. Stop in for fresh produce, tarts made with love or just a chat and a laugh. Every time I come here, it feels just like home. Speaker 0
That fresh produce stand there. That's a beauty. Speaker 1
What do you use listen to? Speaker 5
My favorite murder podcast. Speaker 0
Taggart and Dorn's podcast. The produce stand. Speaker 1
Fucking sexy. Speaker 6
It's Thursday, Thursday. And that means we are once again hanging out the produce stand. A podcast paying tribute to everything in universe. Now I know what you're thinking. There may have a letter, Kenny Podcast out there, but this one is definitely a DJen. I'm out your host and joining me in the room as always is a lovely Tanyan online. We have squirrely Matt and the very degenerate Victor and joining us tonight. He's from down under. He's a sports lover, mainly of NFL and cricket. Not that we know those are sports up here. He's a jigsaw puzzle enthusiast and enjoys a tasty ale in cooking up a good homemade meal. Please join me making some noise for a jazz. Speaker 5
Oh my god. Speaker 6
Oh my god. Speaker 1
Oh my god. Speaker 4
Me. Speaker 5
I regret nothing. Speaker 6
Welcome to the protosten Jazz. Speaker 7
Thank you very much. Thank you for having me. Speaker 6
No our pleasure. First of all, where are we speaking to you from, or were you speaking to us from? Speaker 7
I'm talking to you from which more specifically, but can Speaker 0
you say that one more time? Speaker 7
That's the native people that live in and around the area. Buraloo is what they call the the space. Most people know it as Perth. Speaker 6
No. It's okay. Perth. Australia. Well, so it's tomorrow there. It's It is. Speaker 7
It is ten thirty seven on Friday. So talking to you from the fruit future. Speaker 0
I love it. Speaker 4
Very cool. Speaker 6
That's the Speaker 0
fucking future, mate. Speaker 3
Future so great. Speaker 7
Nothing's happened so fun. So Speaker 6
amazing. Well, thank you so much. Speaker 3
And it's looking sunny in the future. Speaker 6
Yeah. Well Speaker 3
What's the temperature at Speaker 6
there right now? Jesus with those temperatures. Speaker 7
Easy you. So it's twenty eight today. So it's actually kind of a bit chilly. Probably need to put a jumper on a bit if it's, doing Speaker 6
it. Twenty eight. Really? Jumper, come on. Speaker 3
Jumper at twenty eight. No. Speaker 7
Sort of just put the knife in the back a bit and Yeah. Thanks. So that's twenty Speaker 6
eight in socialism degrees. In Freedom degrees, it's it's like I don't know. What would that be? Eighty or ninety? Speaker 7
Eighty odd. Speaker 6
I don't know. Something like that. Speaker 7
Yeah. It got a bit hotter earlier in the But, I'll I'll chat about that a bit later and I've already done the calculation for freedom units for that one. So Okay. Speaker 3
Nice. Speaker 6
I noticed you have, and I'm sure Victor will probably, you know, remark on this, but you have some guitars hanging behind you in your room there. Looks like a bass player, and I've been as bass. Is that right? And a offender and and an acoustic. So you're a musician or or you just, like, delecting. Yeah. It's collected. Speaker 0
Like me, I have two that hang here. Speaker 6
Yeah. And mine does not apply. Speaker 7
It does dusty decorations. My ex partner of mine's old man was a country music singer manager. So I got to know a few of the Australian country music stars. So it was quite interesting from the chats last week. I can't say I suppose I have a bit more appreciation of country music, but they also taught me how to play the takamani there that's sitting on the end. So it doesn't get as much players I'd I'd like. But I I I whip it out every now and then and it somewhat comes back to my fingers until my fingers go a bit raw after about half an hour. Speaker 3
So as as one does after whipping it out for a bit. Speaker 4
Yeah. You're Speaker 0
fucking on the album. Speaker 4
On the album Wiggly Wiggly world, I believe an Australian country singer makes an appearance, but I'm trying to remember his name. He'll come to me. Speaker 3
We watched that documentary. Speaker 6
Yeah. It was good. Oh, that Speaker 4
that was an excellent duck. Yeah. It was really well done. Speaker 6
Alright. Well, why don't we get started here? Speaker 7
How are you now? Speaker 6
Tonight's lineup was pulled myself. Daniel, Matt Victor, and our our guest Jess will have the last word. So, I mean, what have we been doing this week? Last Saturday, we went to a birthday party. Speaker 3
We did go to a birthday party. You went to Speaker 6
a birthday party. Speaker 3
I can't remember who the hell Speaker 4
it was. It Speaker 6
was it was a lot. I can't remember either. If somebody isn't gonna remember, it's gonna be you. So it's a man's birthday party. He turned Can I say how old you turned? Yeah. Speaker 0
I said it last week. Speaker 6
Yeah. He's a ripe old age of forty now. He's joined the club or he's, as I think Charlie said, on the other side of the hill. And, we had a great time. We went, to this place. Speaker 3
What's the place called? Great time. Speaker 0
Play time. Play time bowl. Speaker 6
Play time bowl. So we did some bowling. I think I bowled the game of my life or Speaker 4
at least, Speaker 6
one of the best games. We're gonna Speaker 3
print that and put it up on a picture or something. Speaker 0
What was your, you know, like, a one sixty or something? Speaker 6
One fifty nine or something like that. But I had like I had a turkey at one point. I had three stripes. Speaker 0
Did you really? Yeah. Yeah. I bought terribly. Speaker 6
Yeah. Well, and it's funny because when we got there, you're guy who brought your own fucking shoes. So you always be wary of the guy with his own bowling shoes, but yeah, you did not live up to that expectation at all. Speaker 0
When the beer starts flowing, Speaker 4
I barely knew it's laying over Speaker 1
the arms. Speaker 3
Wait. Did he just put on his own shoes Speaker 8
and then get a gutter ball like what? Did you see Speaker 0
three three different security guards yelled at me to get bowling shoes. And I, like, they kept coming up on the lane and saying, excuse me, sir, you have to use real bowling shoes. I'm like, these are my bowling shoes. And they looked all embarrassed, like, oh, shed. Sorry. Speaker 6
Goredass, if you had Speaker 5
Three times that happened. Speaker 6
Goredass, if you had your own ball as well, and I said, no. You didn't. But didn't your buddy? Like, yeah, Speaker 0
buddy kept on me. Speaker 6
Unbelievable. And is he the one that I just narrowly beat for the the the top score in the first game? Yes. Speaker 7
Okay. Still saying that, like, you don't know it already. Speaker 6
No. I I, like, there there's what? Twelve people or something. There's there's Speaker 3
a good group. Speaker 0
Twenty of us in total, Speaker 6
I think. Speaker 0
Actually, it's nineteen. So only one sat out So Jen set out the first game. Speaker 6
Mhmm. Speaker 0
Actually, and then a friend of hers set up the second one because we had three lanes of eighteen people, and also we had one sitting out. Speaker 6
Yeah. I didn't start off too well. I think I might have guttered my first, ball. But then after that, it was, strike, strike, and and I just barely eaked out a win because your your buddy made it interesting at the end there. But but yeah, I mean, I'm only good for one game ever. Like, my second game was horrible. So, I I I should have retired after the first game. Anyway, that was fun. Speaker 3
And the most unique, throw that I've ever of any individual, Matt wins the, award for for, like Speaker 6
Oh, he knows how to put the spin on that ball. Yeah. Speaker 3
It was, like, a discus, bowling ball, like, contorted hand, kinda, like, I don't know. You were spinning. I don't it was I was And Speaker 0
my score would not reflect the technique. Speaker 6
Or maybe it did. Anyway, it was a good time. It was Speaker 3
a great time. Yeah. Speaker 6
And we had some fun at the NDRcade as well. Shooting baskets and playing a beer pong and all that stuff. Speaker 3
I'm not sure Matt would remember that portion. Speaker 0
I do remember that. The memory's still there at that You Speaker 6
were in it to win it, bud. Holy, when we left you, we we were slightly concerned, but we figured, Jen, you know, you had, Jen was there. She was an adult. So, Speaker 3
She would adults for the weather. Yes. Speaker 4
So, Speaker 6
yeah, good time. Speaker 7
Who's the most competitive out of, you four? Who was the who was in it the most? Speaker 6
For Speaker 0
in which name? Speaker 6
For drinking those mounds. I'm drinking those mounds. Like, you were Speaker 7
drinking the most. They're they're massively so. Speaker 0
Yeah. So here's the context it was obviously my my fortieth. I invite a bunch of people. What most there didn't know is that my friends to my my closest friends, Kevin and Dave who were there. I posted a photo on and and and a couple of places for anyone who saw it. Those guys and myself have not been in the same room with each other for over ten years. Speaker 8
Wow. Speaker 0
Kevin and Dave idiots, gotten a fight a number of years ago, and haven't spoken in years. And these are my two closest friends. Right? So I They both I've spoken to them separately over the years. They both kind of alluded that they'd love to reconcile, but, you know, or men, and neither one of them would pick up the phone and do it. So I essentially forced that situation. I invited them both separately. Neither one of them knew each other was coming. I'm like, it should be fine. They did. They reconciled. I mean, I know I didn't I wasn't in the moment, but I was told that they had a heart to heart, a big emotional apology. And then from that point on, it wasn't in it to win at night. Speaker 6
And Oh, boy. Where you? Oh, yeah. I I and Speaker 0
I don't I didn't go to the bar once. That's the reality. It was they everyone, how yourself included kept feeding me more alcohol. And I I Speaker 3
was trying to give you some of my water. Speaker 6
I was Oh, you Speaker 0
see, I needed that because needless to say I don't remember the tail end of the night. As far as I've been told, I had to be helped out of the building. So it got I don't know what part Victor, I do remember you in in Linda leaving, and By the way, thank you everyone for coming. It was a fucking blast from what I recall. Ally, don't remember you and Tanya leaving. I'm not sure when you did. Sure I said goodbye. Speaker 3
You did? Maybe. Okay. Repeatedly. Mhmm. It was it was very, very, very emotional. Yeah. I remember. Speaker 0
All I remember saying the next morning to I'm like, was I an asshole or was I just a lot? And she's like, you were a lot. I'm like, okay. As long as I'm not the asshole, I'm okay. Speaker 4
You weren't a dick on the boat. No. You Speaker 6
were you're perfectly fine. Just a lot. Yes. A little bit. Yeah. Anyway, Dan, how much work we Speaker 3
I really had a lot of fun playing. Do you remember the beer pong that's not had nothing to do with beer? It was a machine that the the ping pong ball would would Speaker 0
get pop up. Speaker 3
Pop up and just float there. And then you were, like, feeling like you were the king by, like, grabbing it out of the mid air and, like, try. It was so fun. Speaker 6
You didn't win at the Pong, Speaker 7
but but Speaker 6
but but Speaker 7
you did Speaker 6
it with style. Yeah. Speaker 8
You felt like the man. You were Speaker 4
It was Speaker 0
a pretty powerful moment when that ping pong ball pops out of that machine. Speaker 3
Oh, man. That was so fun. Speaker 6
Oh, and to answer, I think, Jess, is your your question? Who's the most competitive out of the four of us? It might be a tie between Tanya and myself. Because I know Victor is happy to lose. As long as he's the biggest loser or the biggest winner, he doesn't care as long as he's Speaker 3
No. Matt's pretty competitive. Speaker 0
But It was out the window then. Speaker 6
Yeah. That was the Speaker 0
wide launch. Yeah. Way out the window that there I I realized very quick that my game was not happening, and I just stopped caring. Speaker 3
Yeah. It was a lot of fun. So what's been going on? My week, so our daughter is, pink with with pink eye again. Hi. So that's been, nature Speaker 0
to wipe her ass, man. Like Speaker 3
You know what's happening? So we finally came to the conclusion of what's hap so she's vol teering in the kindergarten room, and with the grade ones. And I'm like, okay. So every time she volunteers, in this kindergarten room, she comes home with a virus. Like, and by the Monday, she woke up and her eye wasn't opening again, and it's like son of a bitch. I'm like, I love to support you and and want you to volunteer because that's a great thing to do. But at the same time, can we maybe put it hazmat suit on you so that when you go in, you're not collecting anything. So, yeah, we've been dealing with that, works work. I had a night with a girlfriend tonight went out for dinner. Oh my god. It was it was phenomenal. Just I haven't seen my friend since, pre pandemic it's been kind of crazy and and schedules and stuff. So, it was so wonderful to, connect with a with a friend and, have a wonderful night. And I had the most delicious mango, drink. It was like a lovely drink. Speaker 6
Cool. I Speaker 3
don't even remember what that was. Speaker 6
It was a Mexican place. Speaker 3
It was a Mexican place. And it was like so authentically Mexican. That's closest, I'm gonna get to Mexico without actually taking a plane and getting that. Speaker 6
Without getting sick. Speaker 3
Without getting sick. With with no IV bag, because Mexico hates me and and that's what happens when I go. So yeah, just, off of a lovely high from, from a great night and, ready to get into it. And, Speaker 1
yeah, that's me. Speaker 6
Matt, do you remember your week? Speaker 0
Most of it. Yeah, we talked about the birthday at great time, rough recovery I'd actually the funny thing is I had to take my, my youngest to a skating lesson. Yeah. Speaker 6
Jen said that he's gotta take he's gotta take him to a skating lesson. I'm making him go. Speaker 0
We we went. And, actually, if you ask Jed, she'll tell you. She was quite impressed. She's like, I did not expect you to be as as well as I was the next day. Speaker 6
You're probably so drunk. Speaker 4
I Speaker 0
It's probably it. Speaker 3
I love your wife so much. Her oh, she is phenomenal. She's like, oh, yeah. This is what happening. Yeah. Speaker 0
And she and she, and she's, like, at your fortieth, you get a pass is what she said, because she was re re regaling me with all the tales of what happened in the back half of the night, but going Speaker 6
to the gym. You sleep in that room. Right? The length the room you're in right now. You had sleep. Speaker 0
Well, yeah. My we had a sleepover. My buddy stayed, and we both just crashed but apparently I just came in and hit the bed and was out. Like, we were supposed to play darts and have more beers. None of that happened. I was I I don't know how I got into those, but anyways, I made it home, went to skating I had a blast. Thank you for everyone that came. I'm now forty. Fuck. The rest of my week though, I was gonna say there was two things. Oh, one, I'm sort of upgrading my setup here. So thanks to Al and Tanya and Victor. They gave me they gifted me a podcasting device. So I'm still trying to figure it out, but I'm gonna turn up my game a little bit in the future. So that's exciting. So thank you guys. That was amazing. And then I bought myself with some money from my folks. I bought, myself a new monitor because I've been working off my laptop monitor the entire time we've been doing this show. And I'm realizing now this is much better. It wouldn't be. Like, you're almost like actual head sizes now. It's great. Not little Not little thumbnails, though it's quite an upgrade. So that's fun. And then today, I'll I'll end on this one. Today, I I trying to get into one of my doctors for a while, and I, and I got into a specialist with the ENT. And I know I've talked before about having trouble sleeping and all this jazz. So I think there might be some light at the end of the tunnel, it turns out I have a severely deviated septum. So I didn't even know what that I heard it. And when I over a hair of deviated septum, I only think of the movie, heavyweights, and you catch that reference. I love you. If you don't, well, figure it out. But so that's exciting. So we're gonna deal with that. We're starting to process the, you know, doctor said, if you tried these things, I tried all the things he had talked about. He's like, well, the next step is surgery. So we're gonna look at correcting it, and hopefully that'll clear this little nostril up and allow me to breathe a little better at night and hopefully get some better sleep. So we're a ways out from that but starting that process. Speaker 6
It's exciting for you. I had a buddy who had that surgery done, and and it was night and day he said afterwards. He's like, Speaker 4
I didn't I Speaker 6
didn't know that this is how much you could you should be breathing. Like, he was, yeah, he couldn't believe it. Speaker 0
Yeah. So it was pretty exciting. Again, the first couple of things he said we could try is that I've been doing both of those things. For, like, a year now. And it's doing nothing. He's like, oh, the next option, Sergio, I'm like, sign me up. Like, where where do I where do I Speaker 7
sign? So Speaker 0
realistically, we're probably six months out at the very minimal. But it's exciting ahead, and I'm looking forward to after the recovery. So yeah. Speaker 6
Well, I'm hearing is Matt's getting a nose job. Okay. Yeah. Victor, how have you been by? Speaker 4
Good. My coworker had the same surgery mat last summer. Yeah. Yeah. And he's, like, feels like a million bucks now. Yeah. Speaker 0
Streaming of it. Yeah. Speaker 4
Do you but but for some reason, the, inch, Ohip, or whatever wouldn't cover it because they thought of it as like a almost a cosmetic Speaker 0
surgery. An elective? Yeah. Like Oh, okay. Speaker 6
So I Stuff that they Speaker 3
allow and Speaker 4
Well, it Speaker 6
depends on maybe on on Speaker 4
He's from Ukraine, so maybe they kind of he's not, like, an official. He's he's not a citizen yet, so maybe that has something to do with it. Speaker 6
It might all also depend on how severe the sleep disorder is. Right? If Matt's sleep disorder is serious enough, then it'll get covered. Speaker 4
Yeah. Who knows? We'll see. Anyway, there's light at the end of the tunnel. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. Let's see. Yeah. So I went to up to up country to a DJen, birthday party, Speaker 6
so that was fun. This is up country is still Toronto. Speaker 4
Well, it was sub country from the east. Speaker 0
Oh my god. That's what the east guys call the west. Up country. Speaker 6
It's okay. West versus the same. Speaker 4
That's right. And, I believe I was the only one that night that did a trick shot. So I threw the ball into the gutter, but it didn't end in the gutter. It bounced back out and knocked some pins down. That's how terrible. Speaker 6
That's how bad a bowler victory is. Speaker 2
You're gonna Speaker 7
go miss the intentional? Speaker 6
No. No. You're you're not supposed to Speaker 7
do that. Speaker 0
Victor really quickly. Speaker 4
Yes, sir. Speaker 0
So my father-in-law adores you. Mhmm. He loved his conversation with you, but one thing was leaked, and I need a quick explanation on Speaker 6
this one. Speaker 0
So he said and Jen overheard this too. She's like, I am blowing away. When you can you confirm when you travel by plane, do you go out of your way to do layovers? Speaker 4
I I I may or may not do that. Yes. Speaker 0
For the simple reason that you wanna fly on extra planes in your trip. Speaker 4
Yeah. Because then you get you get two or two or more for the price of one. Because you get multiple takes off takeoffs and landings. And that's where all the fun is. Speaker 6
Everyone else, every normal person avoy tries to avoid at at all costs, but Victor goes straight towards it. How many stopovers? Yeah. I'll take that one. I'll take the loan with five stopovers. Speaker 4
Who goes for more? But ever since Linda discovered that, I kinda stopped doing that. But the funny thing, serendipitously, last year when we, flew when we flew to Paris Mhmm. We booked a direct flight, but it ended it turned into three flights. Speaker 6
Yeah. I remember the the odyssey of your premature Speaker 4
trip to Paris. Speaker 7
You know Speaker 3
To pretend to be honest. Speaker 6
Well, didn't you spend an extra day in Germany or something like that when on your way to pass? Speaker 4
We we were we were stuck in Frankford Airport for, eight, like, six or eight hours. I can't remember. Crazy. But it was great because I I love airports. So I, and I could give you a tour of the Frankfurt Airport now. If if I Speaker 6
have Sure. You lived there, like, Tom Hanks in that one movie. Where's that terminal? Terminal. Speaker 3
Yeah. Speaking of travel, I to take a Twitter poll on something that's recently come to, to light. I wanna know what is normal. Isn't normal when you're going up? Who does this? I wanna I wanna know. If you're going on vacation, do you plan to, like, what happens if you die while you're on vacation? Like, do you yeah. This is what I wanna know. Is this, like, a weird family trait that we have that my family has, or is this an other people thing? Like, when you go, do you say, okay, here are my documents. So if I don't make it back But you Speaker 4
have a little you have a little kid still, Tanya. So, like, I think Speaker 3
one Okay. Did you use to do them when Speaker 6
the kids were alone. My parents, whenever they reach Portugal. Speaker 4
With us when we travel. Speaker 6
Whenever whenever my parents, to this day, go to Portugal, I always get the the the Speaker 3
the the the right down Speaker 6
Where the will is and and where the paper the important papers are. Speaker 3
Oh, yeah. Important document. Speaker 7
I get Speaker 6
it all the Speaker 3
But I wanna know, does everybody do that? Is that like a a global thing? Or is that just like people with high anxiety problems? Speaker 0
I'm gone. I figured out Speaker 6
I'm surprised I've seen Victor because I thought, like, soviets were, like, yeah, doom and gloom. Like, you, you expect to die on every trip. And therefore, you, you're preparing No. Speaker 4
No. Because my because like Linda, believes with all her heart that if there's a plane crash and there's one survivor, it will likely be me. Speaker 3
It. Speaker 6
You know what? Speaker 0
That might be the quote of the podcast. Yes. Speaker 6
You don't even start it. Oh my god. Speaker 8
Yeah. Yeah. That Speaker 6
Linda has a point there. Speaker 3
There's there's Speaker 6
some logic there for sure. Speaker 4
Oh, on on the topic. If you remember if you remember back in ninety three, think it was ninety three. There was a movie called The Live, which was based on the on the true story, but the Uruguay, rugby team, I think. Anyway, it was a pretty good movie. It was, you know, they have to kind of Speaker 6
eat each other. Yep. Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, there was a remake. It's on on Netflix now. And it I think it's this the Speaker 0
the way of no Speaker 4
society, yeah, society of the, really, I just watched it. It's really good. It's like it's a lot more authentic because it's it's actually, you know, they they're speaking Spanish and And it's just a it's more from the point of view. It's it's it's just it's just different. And I if you if you are interested in that story, I recommend watching that movie. It's it was real done really really well. Speaker 6
Cool. Yeah. I heard about it, but I didn't, but I didn't know this was just a direct remake of the same story. Speaker 4
Yeah. It's a direct remake. It's just it's just done in a slightly more authentic way. It's less it's not Hollywood eyes, if that's a word. Speaker 0
Right? Take on the story. Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. It's it's it's almost shot for shot done, like, filmed very, like, the same I mean, because it's a true story. Right? So it's not they so it's it's it follows a very same linear line, but, just just different a little different than I'd recommend. Speaker 6
Robby says it's a great book. He read it when he was a teenager. Yeah. Speaker 4
I read it. You read a book Speaker 6
once. Good for you, Matt. Speaker 0
Thanks, bud. Speaker 4
And and and we finished, Fargo season five super, super good. Really recommend that. Nice. And if you haven't watched the previous seasons, you don't have to because each season stands on its own. But, it's, you know, the the final episode just dropped this week. Speaker 6
On the list. Yeah. Speaker 4
It it was just super good. Couldn't recommend it more. Speaker 6
Alright, Jess. Have you been, bud? Speaker 7
Yeah. Been been pretty good. I think I alluded to or somebody asks how the weather's been Speaker 4
Mhmm. Speaker 7
Down here. So it's twenty eight now, over the weekend just gone, it got up to forty one degrees. So that's a hundred and six in Fahrenheit. Now instead of trying to keep cool like everybody else did, I as kind of mentioned off top, I play cricket decided to go stand out in the sun in the middle of a field for best part of six hours. So that was Nice. Speaker 2
Illinois. Speaker 7
Yeah. And the thing about cricket as well is the better you do the longer you're actually out there for. Speaker 5
So it's Speaker 7
kind of counterintuitive to do better. And, unfortunately, I played the best game. I've played all season. So with the bat, did Very good was out there for an hour. Speaker 6
You got like lots of wickets and stuff. That's all I know about cricket wickets. Speaker 7
So, so I have subsequently turned into a batter keeper. So I have protective equipment on the entire time, which is really quite stupid, but now I got fifty eight with a bat. Again, I'm not sure how much I take it you guys know nothing about cricket even though Canada is actually in the World Cup. Coming up in Oh, yeah. Speaker 6
Yes. Okay. Speaker 7
Go sports. Yeah. Good. Sports. So the first game, I think, is Canada versus USA. And I just had a quick look into it. And one of the places they're playing in New York, I think, is, in a ground in Hixville. So there you go. Wow. It comes background. Yeah. So, yeah. So See Speaker 6
up here, we play in the snow. It's really hard to find the ball. Speaker 7
They did do ice cricket for a while. I think I had Speaker 0
a nice Speaker 7
actually playing on ice that was hilarious watching tort stars fall over everywhere. Speaker 6
It's our own advantage. Some. Speaker 3
Yeah. Speaker 6
We we played a a World Cup soccer qualifying match against, Jamaica in Edmonton, and there was literally snow banks in the corner of the fields. So when the Canadian scored, they went, like, they would dive into the snow. They were so excited. And and and the Jamaicans were like, what the fuck are we doing here? Speaker 4
If you Speaker 0
guys ever seen the movie have you guys ever seen the movie the Grand seduction? It's, I I I could be misquoting by saying it's based on your story, but think it is. It takes place in Newfoundland. Speaker 4
And Speaker 0
it's like a small town who, basically, they're gonna lose a big deal with the factory. Like, it's a super small town. There's no work. But if they want the fact that they need a doctor. Okay. Speaker 6
So the Speaker 0
whole idea of the movie is they bring in this this doctor, get stuck there for a short period of time. And now they're trying to trick him into thinking this is the place he needs to live so that they can get the factory. But the doctor is obsessed with cricket. So the whole town pretends, like, they know how to play cricket. Speaker 4
Oh. Speaker 0
And they set up They set up, like, a game on the side of, like, a cliff in Newfoundland, and no one knows what the fuck they're doing, but they're trying to show, oh, look, yeah, we love cricket out here. We got our own team, but Speaker 6
I love it. Sounds great. Speaker 0
Maybe. Yeah. Great movie if you've never seen it by the grand seduction. Speaker 7
Have to give it a crack. Yeah. So, yeah, I've managed to trying, well, out in the heat, recovered from that after a couple of days. So finally kind of Tuesday was back to being normal and had to go through first process of three of getting a root canal. So that was nice and fun. Speaker 6
Getting three root Speaker 7
in three stages. So clearing it all out, putting bits in, and then putting other bits in, apparently. I wasn't saying that much attention. I was just trying not to Just cry. But disco dentistry has come a long way, so you can just listen with, noise canceling headphones. So you just just listen to potty. I was listening to you guys while I was having a root canal. Speaker 6
Oh, perfect. Some might say listening to us is is the same as having a root canal. But, bless you. It's like Speaker 0
a nail biting experience. Speaker 4
That's what some of my fans feel like when, they, write their reviews about me. Speaker 3
I am so sorry. You have to go through that. Oh, that sounds terrible. Speaker 6
Thank you so much for joining us, Jess. Speaker 3

Previously, on Letter Kenny. Speaker 6
Let's see here. Last week, we recapped and reviewed season two of letter or episode two of season twelve letter Kenny Sundard. That episode was a unicorn receiving fresh ratings from all our panelists including our guest, Zach, who isn't even a country music fan. According to our scientific Twitter poll, eighty one point four percent gave it a fresh sixteen point nine percent gave it a clearance and one point seven, gave it a compost. This week, we recap and review episode three season twelve. I'm Medi Jen. Have you done your homework? I've done my homework ten. Have you done your homework? Speaker 3
It is. Speaker 6
Mad have you done your homework? Speaker 0
Trice. Speaker 6
Victor. It is. Yeah. It it loses something when somebody beat you to it. Right? And, Jess, have you done your homework? Speaker 7
Somewhere between three to four or maybe four to six times Wow. Speaker 6
Here we go. Speaker 5
Well, don't bore us. Get to the chorus. Speaker 6
We open with with screwy Dan Katie and Wayne hanging out at the tractor shed the topic of the moment, Bolton. Skrayden says McMurray has a rich uncle with a yacht, docks it down, Marcos Islands, Florida's, and takes it down to Minnekeins a couple times a year. Katie would love to a yachting down Dominican. Wayne would prefer the everglades. Last time Katie checked Wayne would rather not go Bolton at all. Wayne hates Bolton. Squared in as Wayne, what he has against boating. Speaker 0
There's always a dick on a boat. Oh, yeah. And then you're just hooped. Speaker 6
Katie suggested maybe Wayne's the dick. Wayne admits he might could be, or he might not, or he mightn't. So he put it to the test. He went solo boaten to find out if he was the dick or if the it was the boaters. He borrowed joint boys tin can, not tight not tyson's twin engine speeds boats because He isn't the type of practical speedboat, and Pete McNich tossed him off the back of one of the those cocksuckers as a child and he never recovered. So he's out on JB's boat a wee bit up the lake there. He took his shirt off because he's got one of those types of farmer tans that might make a person, think there might be something wrong with him. Katie reminds him he doesn't have any swim shorts. She asks him what he wore for bottoms. Wayne says he just rolled up his jeans a wee bit there. He went full Huck's Fins according to Squarely Dan. Speaker 1
So, wait, your solo on a boat tarp off, farmer ten fly in. Speaker 4
Foahawk Fims. Speaker 0
That's exactly what I Speaker 3
am. Why? Speaker 5
Because I'm the type of prick. You could boat by a fella stand out there, solo boat and tarp off. Armored hand fly and Broawk cramps. And keep my opinions to myself. Speaker 1
Not one to rock the boat. Speaker 5
I'd mind my beeswax. It's bolt right by. Speaker 6
Then Katie asked w w b d. What would voters do? Wayne sees three boats heading down the river towards him. He figures this will be the test. If one of them trips him, there's always a dick on a boat. And if none of them do, maybe he's the dick. Speaker 5
Paul, first border because voting up starboard there, Pells is just stay in the water. I said, sure. And he says, do you ever think about throwing yourself in there with a tan like that? Speaker 6
Oh, for once. Speaker 1
Okay. And the second? Speaker 5
Well, next border comes both in a port side there. The fellow says, quite a lot. I'm so sure. And he says, maybe if you had any friends, they'd tell you what a retard you look Speaker 1
He didn't say it. Boaters it. Speaker 5
There's always a dick on a boat. Speaker 1
Well, no. There's a dick on two thirds of the boat so far, which is looking good for your theory. Speaker 5
Not looking good for boaters, though. Well, then the third boat consultant on up there. We're about about. Phyllis says quite a sight out here on the water. The solo boat, tar paw, Farmer Tan fly, full hawk fin. Thanks, guys. I applaud I spelled the late w's for the voters. Speaker 1
Wait for it. Speaker 5
And then he says, especially since it's common knowledge, huck thin, and that other fellow used to fuck each other up the ass. Oh, for threes. Speaker 1
Gotcha, big brother. I get why you don't like voting. Speaker 5
There's always a dick on a boat. Speaker 6
And queue the theme. Alright. I'm up first for the cold open. Meh. It was just meh. It was fine. It was it was There's nothing too spectacular about it. It was it was amusing. I feel like every time Wayne said Bolton, you sounded more and more like that g g I Jehovah from a few some seasons ago the way you would say it all the time. Boat boat. It's it's a boat. What? It's a boat not dancing. That's what it's a boat. Yeah. But, and and so it was it was cute. There was nothing too spectacular about it, but there's also nothing horrible about it. I think it was just kind of right down the middle. Okay? Speaker 3
I have to agree with you. There wasn't anything that really stood out. It was just a conversation, and I didn't really find anything overly humorous. I I thought Shirley Dan's comment that, he was going full hawk fin, was good. But, again, there wasn't anything that took it over the top for me. It was interesting that Katie was in, the the three, the the triangle. Speaker 6
Yeah. Speaker 3
Because usually it would be dairy that that sits there. And Speaker 6
Good good observation. Speaker 3
The guys usually have the the talk. And, yeah. Yeah. Speaker 6
I found it amusing though that Wayne does not own swimming trunks so that he only ever wears jeans is Is that what led to believe? Speaker 5
Matt, what do you think? Speaker 0
Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm on the same trend here. It was it felt like an old fashioned letter Kenny open. But middle of the ground. Like, it was fun. Yeah. The banter was humorous. The repetition was there. All things that we've come to know and love about letter Kenny, but did it stand out as something like highly memorable. No. Mhmm. The the full hog fin thing definitely made me laugh. Yeah. I could have heard him jumping with that. And however, I'm not gonna say it wrong, but however he was saying I might be. Speaker 6
Or mightn't he's yeah. Speaker 0
He he said that that anyone can he said it in a really weird way. Speaker 6
I could could might be. Speaker 0
It could might be Speaker 6
Or it could might And did Speaker 7
you see the tongue happen after that? So as soon as he said that the little tongue flick that he did? Yeah. Oh, I missed the translation. Speaker 0
That made me laugh for sure that just how he pronounced that. I gotta get a chuckle. But at the end of the day, again, it was it was fine. I I didn't dislike it. Didn't love it. It was a it was a fun way to start the episode. Speaker 6
Victor. Speaker 4
That did not float my boat. Speaker 6
Oh, there you go. So Speaker 4
I like planes. I like trains. Speaker 6
You don't like Speaker 4
boats. I'm I'm partial to boats. I I like the ships. I I like big ships. Speaker 6
But you cannot lie. Speaker 4
I cannot lie. I do like big ships. I cannot lie. I like them, I like the cross sections. So when I was, in in in Hebrew class, not really understanding what they were trying to brainwash me with, I was drawing pictures of big ships, but the cross sections of them, where you could see every floor of the, and and but it wasn't people on the ships. The ships were constructing cars. So every floor was a different area of construction where, you know, in one floor, they were building the body. On the other floor, they were building the engine. On the other floor, they were, you know, doing the, set doing the assembly. On the next one, they were doing the painting and the the finishing. This this is this is this is like stuff that could go for, you know, big money today. I still have it. That's it's fine art. Anyway, so that's my experience with ships. But but as far as the cold open, I felt I couldn't it was not related I didn't really understand the hold. There's always a deck on a boat. Like, I've I've I the only I guess my experience with boats is, you know, when you're on the work, you have before COVID used to do fun things. And, you know, you'd have like, company parties on boats and things like that. And I guess there was always somebody that drank too much or whatever, but Speaker 6
That's all borders. Speaker 4
Yeah. That but that was more like the matte experience. It wasn't, you know, it's like, you know, he's just having fun and you're Speaker 6
That's an international Speaker 3
dick. It was a research project. He needed to know if he was the dick or if voters were the dick. He went out. Speaker 6
Go ahead, Matt. Speaker 0
And I understand the the concept. Like, what you can you relate it to anything where something is in tight quarters. Right? It's the whole idea is that when you're in tight quarters somewhere in a situation like that, If someone's a dick, you're hooked in. Like, you're stuck with that Speaker 6
Mhmm. Speaker 0
Shit, and you just have to play it out. So I can understand the logic I mean, I've been on lots of boats, I maybe I'm the dick. I don't know. I'm gonna say I was about to say, I don't remember anybody. Damn it. Speaker 4
You remember he remembers getting on the phone. Speaker 6
He's thrown off the boat. I think I've I've I've talked about this in the past. I'm sure, but a yearly gig that my band plays every year is is Adam Marina up in Norilia, and it's to Boaters. Basically, they set us up on a floating barge, and we're facing tons and tons of yacht and they're all looking down at us and we're playing music for them. Speaker 3
Are are yachts in the same category, though, as a boater? Like, yachts are like a category of their own. Speaker 6
Anyway, these people drink. Oh my god. Can they drink? They they'll yeah. They'll drink you anyone under the table. Because that's all they do is they hang it on their boat and they drink. You know, when they're not of course, they're tied up because they don't drink in boats. That's not allowed. But anyway, they know how to party. But, I can, you know, I can kinda see Wayne's point, but at the same time, I don't have any experience with they were all very, very nice to me. Yeah. Very nice to me. Jazz, what do you think of this? Speaker 7
I the first time through, I wasn't that impressed, but I think it kind of lost its way. It started out with a lot of boat puns, which I, yeah, floats my boat. My wife actually works in the maritime industry and went through a morale building exercise of seeing how many boat puns could be used in official communicate without it going. Speaker 6
It sounds like a letter Kenny writing assignment, really. Speaker 7
Oh, I I I wrote a a very quick pundumonium kind of thing, but thought, no, that's that's not appropriate. But, look, there's a list of a heap of those and really enjoyed it. And then it kind of moved away from that. So there was I think there was only seven puns they did, and that was all in the first kind of minute. And then after that, it it went on a story. So it was kind of neither here nor there. It wasn't telling a funny story or putting in the the the amount of jokes, the quantity of jokes, it was just neither. But few small things I noted. So I mentioned the tongue. Speaker 0
It Speaker 7
seemed very windy in terms of just the the barn doors absolutely blowing a a gale. So I don't know how hard that would have been to, to to film. And what was the last thing? No. That was yeah. So okay. Same to you guys. Yeah. Speaker 3
Yeah. I noticed that to the the wind. And I was thinking, like, I remember being there and and seeing that setup. And I think you went up. Speaker 6
Oh, hell yeah. They opened that. As soon as they opened that that that door, I I'm already straight up. Speaker 8
And I can't. Speaker 3
I can't really see having a conversation. In that in that in that way with that wind, I don't think it would be audible. I don't think. Speaker 7
So was it windy when you guys are Speaker 6
up No. No. It's quite nice. Speaker 0
I feel Speaker 3
like it was windy. Speaker 6
Well, I don't know. Speaker 3
I don't remember. Speaker 6
You guys were were dressing jackets. I I was still wearing shorts. So, yeah, Speaker 2
that's true. Speaker 7
I think they changed it around. I don't I'm I meant to try and find some more cold opens from that tractor shed. The only one I could find was Katie's big tarts. And I noticed that Speaker 6
Well, the, the uncle, what's uncle Eddie's story? Yeah. When when he's talking about Eddie going to the sock hop, that was, I think, in front of the tractors. Shared as well. I think so. Yeah. Speaker 7
But I noticed so Katie's big parts was season ten, I think. And it had actually all changed up. So the tractor and the stairs were in a different location. The giant red sign that was I noticed in my third or fourth viewing was actually in a different location. So I don't know how much they change it round per season or Speaker 6
I don't know. On Tobias reminds us the Easter episode. Yeah. I remember squiggly Dan being very drunk sitting up front of that tracker shed, because he he was the first one out on the Easter egg hunt and, he got to start drinking earlier than everyone else. Anyway, let's move on here to scene one, split ends, sitting alone at the at the produce stand. When dairy arrives. Scrid Ann asks him where he's been. Dairy says nowhere. Skrid Ann asks him how the food is in nowhere. Dairy attempts to change the subject by commenting on Scrillidance, man and night hat, calling it a good fire starter. Scredance says you could do a lot worse. Darry asked Willie Ann if he thinks, he could ever move out to mennonite country. Now it's Scalia Ants trying to change the subject. He asked Dairy why he smells like Campfire. Smoke. Derek doesn't answer. He just asked where Wayne and Katie are. Wayne's Sean and Katie's waiting for shots in the farms. That's an agricultural magazine. Who are coming out to do a photo spread on the property. Dairy wonders what makes this farm so special. Katie interrupts. It's the oldest working farm in Letter Kenny. Mike could be the oldest working farm in the country adds Wayne. And then Katie asked the question that's on everyone's mind. Speaker 1
I was told you were hanging with Deegents. Speaker 9
Did you say? Speaker 1
I said you must be mistaken. Speaker 5
Dairy wouldn't hang out with d gins. Yeah. Speaker 9
The ones I was hanging out with weren't d gins. Speaker 5
See, dairy wouldn't hang out with d gins. Speaker 9
But then they took me to a place where there were d gins. Speaker 5
You were hanging out with d gens? No. Speaker 9
The ones I was hanging out with weren't d gens. Their friends were d gens. Speaker 1
Show me your friends, and I'll show you who you are. Speaker 5
So like You were hanging out at the mansion? Speaker 1
No. It's called palace now. Speaker 5
Last I heard you was called the kingdoms, the lion's den. Speaker 2
These are decent people. Speaker 5
Yeah, when they're not putting out darts on dogs, they are. Speaker 4
Yeah, when Speaker 1
they're not getting their third DUIs. Speaker 9
These guys are different. Speaker 5
Yeah, when they're not grown men picking up their girlfriends from high school, Speaker 4
you. Speaker 9
The ones that I was hanging out with weren't degenerents. It was their friends that were DJents. Speaker 1
And what did I tell you? Speaker 6
Derek gets his backup, tells him he's got more in common with them than he does with the Hicks. It'll make fun of how he dresses or smells, and they think he's pretty funny and cool. This gets Wayne's back up now. Yes, Terry. Who thinks he's cool? There he answers Mick and his sister too. Wayne stands there. Arms crossed. He takes quite a a beat before responding. But then he finally responds. Speaker 5
While you're a degener now, dairy, why don't you run inside and farmer spit on the carpet? Wayne. Hey, they show you how to take out a dart and throw in a dip yet. Wayne. That should never so much fun as putting a cat in the dryer. Speaker 1
Right? Wayne. Speaker 6
Wayne storms off. Seeing two, Riley and Jonesie sitting at the bar at modine's they're trying to get Gail to have an eye on a group of girls to their on their six o'clock, but really it's their nine o'clock. They get into an argument of of six and nine, which inevitably turns into versation about sixty nines. But they've all finally, look over to to a group of attractive girls at the far end of the bar. Six nines at their nine. But then Gail season nine at Riley Jonesi's actual six, they turn around excitedly to find Harley, which disappoints They call her a soft nine. She calls them a combined soft nine. Jonesie goes on to call her name, but, she beats into it Is she a degener? Both Riley and Jonesy think she's a little too snappy to be a degeneren. The rest of the attractive girls join Harley. They're all proud B Gens. Both Mickey and Dairy enter the bar and call the girls to join them. The d gens all leave including Dairy. Rowing Jonesie sit at the bar, dejag dejected. But their pity party is interrupted by tennis and Shania. Speaker 3
Did Daryl just leave with Speaker 8
a bunch of degenerans? I Speaker 0
don't know. Some of them seemed okay to me. Speaker 8
Kill when they're not eating pizza pops with a box cutter. A couple seemed okay to me too. Speaker 3
Yeah. When they're not stomping their feet at birds. Speaker 0
Can't they? Yeah. Speaker 1
When they're not hanging Speaker 8
bed sheets over their windows. Didn't think they were snappy at all. Their fucking degenerans dumb shit. I'm disappointed in news. Speaker 6
Next scene, back at the farm, Katie's outside sitting at a picnic table, waiting for the person from a shot in the farm magazine to arrive. She finally pulls up. Her name is Lily. And before you ask, yes, she too finds the name of the magazine embarrassing. Production note, Lily. Is played by Ella Cannon, an Australian actress from Melbourne, known for trees of peace, size zombie, and the irrational. The two hit it off immediately when Katie compliments Lily on her remarkable ten. Lily just got back from Mexico. The two bond over their love from of Mexico. Tanning margaritas. Katie's been thinking a lot about Mexico since she left. Lily asked her if she would ever consider moving there. Katie responds If they were in Mexico right now, they'd be having margaritas. She offers Lily Margarita. Mar Lily enthusiastically accepts. Seeing four, Stew enrolled or dressed up in suits sitting in armchairs very, under very dramatic lighting. It turns out they're debating a right wing intellectual on the internet. But they're doing it all with a littered, alliterative style. Speaker 10
Where do you think morality comes from? Speaker 8
In what context, Ben? Speaker 10
Without a set of rules from a Judeo Christian handbook, which we all just be out here killing and raping each other. Mhmm. Speaker 8
Yes. When Jesus walked with Judith and the Jews, the Judeo Jesswitz judge Judy justly. It really was counterproductive to counter culture at an over the counter discount. Speaker 10
But it shaped civilizations. While being a sort of Machiavellian earmarked after market, Markie, Mark, and the Marxist's bunch. You can't say that the Judeo Gesuits judged Judy. Speaker 8
I said judge Judy justly. Don't put words in my mouth. Speaker 10
But you can't say that without first acknowledging that Galileo was originally sponsored by the church. And so was copernicus. Speaker 8
But, ideally, that sort of ideology determined idiOC, and eliminates idyllic ideas, ideologically, and idiosyncratically. Speaker 10
We can't forget that Compernicus was, Capricorn and coincidentally a cancer. Can we, CONFUTures say Colin KEPernick. Speaker 3
It's Speaker 10
always a pleasure talking to you, John. Speaker 8
Thank you, Ben. Speaker 10
Be well then. Speaker 6
The lights come on and as counter slants a laptop shut, Stuart seems frustrated. Has it really come to this? Have they really done everything fun there is to do while doing snoopers? Have they exhausted snoopers? Stuart announces that they need a rips revelation to reignite their love of snoopers. They need to surround themselves. With other lovers of snooters. They have to be snooter recruiters, tutors of snooters, snooter rebooters. Connor and Dairy wonder how out loud where they should go. Sterry cracks, Stewart cracks them. The party is always in their basement. Why take it elsewhere? This gets rolled very excited. Are we doing it stewart? Speaker 5
Are we finally doing it stewart? Oh, don't tease me stewart? I'm don't tease me, stewart. Speaker 1
We're doing it cool. Speaker 6
The after Speaker 8
hours club, Letter Kenny has never asked for, but the one she shall get. Speaker 1
What's our angle, Street? Speaker 6
Sex. That Speaker 8
was so sexy. We will have the sexiest, those sexual sexualities, and we shall Speaker 5
Like hooters? Speaker 8
Like hooters? Precisely wrong. Like hooters. But snooter. Speaker 6
Next scene, Wayne, is in the barn moving hay or barley, from one spot to another. Just then, the phone rings. It's rosy. Checking in from Vancouver Island. She asked if the rumors are true that Derry is hanging out, Dgens. Wayne's confident that Derry will come around. Rosie asks, what's gotten into him? Wayne's told there's like a charming one. Rosie can't imagine a charming b gen. Wayne's also been told that he's got a sister that's good looking. Rosie asks Wayne is his opinion. He takes a beat to answer and then finally admits he can understand why others might find her a good looking. Then, Rosie, gets down to why she's calling. Speaker 11
I've missed it out here. Vancouver Island is gorgeous. Speaker 5
Well, who doesn't love those mountains? Speaker 11
Who doesn't love that ocean? Speaker 5
Good place to go Bolton. Speaker 11
Great place to go fishing. Speaker 5
Great fishing at West. Speaker 11
Would you think of moving here? Gotcha. Speaker 0
Why would you think about moving there? Speaker 11
I just wonder how important being the toughest guy in letter Kenny needs to be to you anymore? Speaker 0
No. I've had this conversation before. Speaker 11
It's fine if it is. I just wonder, maybe it isn't. And, hey, if you came out here, you'd get to meet this shithead. Speaker 0
Who is that? Tank. Oh, he is a bull. Speaker 8
That would believe is a bull. Speaker 5
Oh, he is such a bull. Speaker 6
Smash cut to Mick and the d at the g DJen camp kicking away a mutt and calling it a dumb shit fuck, quite the contrast of the previous scene. Mickey is slowly showing more and more degener behavior. One of the girls asked Dairy how he described himself in three words and Mick compressed with the question. Yeah. He didn't expect that coming from a dumb broad like her, like her, her friend and her other friend are really dumb looking to. Mickey decides to go first. The three words he described himself as would be loves to rip. He counts off each word ending in a shocker hand gesture. He takes another turn. This time with the hyphenated words, he says air bass, air drums, and air guitar. Once again, ending with the shocker hand gesture. It's Derry's turn. Mickey interrupts. Funny is for sure one of the words the girls can add the the girls add cute for sure. And then jiving Pete interrupts with the third word. Speaker 0
DJen. Speaker 6
In the right barrel? Your DJen now? Speaker 1
Corsyas. But the third word is cool. My sweetie is funny, cute, and cool. Speaker 6
Harley tells the three girls hovering around Dairy to beat it and assumes her place on his lap calling him the funniest, cutest, coolest degener there. Alastair orson Westwood Yates challenges Dairy to say it, to admit that he's a degener. This leads to some prolonged, mangling of the English language. Speaker 5
Then say it, Daryl. Speaker 1
He's DJen. You fucking DJen. No need to be to sleeping dog. Uh-uh. Speaker 8
I I think it's let sleeping dogs die, Carly? No. Speaker 0
It isn't. Speaker 6
She means don't kick at that dog while it's down. No. No. What you're trying Speaker 8
to say is don't kick spilt milk. Speaker 1
Is it that big a deal? Jesus. No need to cry over a dead horse, say, Daryl? Speaker 5
Say your DJ. Speaker 1
Aren't you full of piss and giving her? Speaker 0
Don't you got bigger fish to try? Speaker 6
Squeaky wheel gets the worm Speaker 7
They're in a snowball show and tell you'll say it next. Speaker 2
Not my pig. Not my business. Speaker 9
You wanna hear it straight from the horse's mouth? Speaker 4
What horse? You can lead a Speaker 9
horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Speaker 6
Blind, see no horse. Put the rats out of the bag, Daryl. Speaker 5
This is the lion's den. Degen's only. Your DJen say it. Speaker 2
Hey. Just say it, Daryl? Speaker 3
Yeah. Just Speaker 9

This makes the other DJen's very happy, but it isn't enough driving Pete dare dares dairy to now say it to the camera. There he gets pressured from Harley and Mickey. He starts off saying it sheepishly, then then prodded on. He gets louder and louder until Speaker 1
I'm a teacher. Even louder. I'm a teacher. Speaker 5
Whoa. Whoa. We lost last last proudest. Speaker 6
Turns out you can lead horse to water. I know now I know why Gary likes hanging out with him because he's truly the smartest one there. Next scene, back at the farm, Katie and Lily are sipping margaritas and checking out pictures, the pictures that Lilly has taken to the farm house. For the magazine. Katie is a fan of her work, and Lily is a fan of Katie's margaritas. So much fun. So much a fan in fact that she can't drive home. She's had one too many. This is exciting to Katie. She's down she's shown Lily a day at the farm and now now she gets to show her a night at the in the town. Katie has taken is taking her to modine's. Well, they asked if, she'll meet any dudes down there. Katie says, sure. If, you're looking for a John deer, Lily loves the sound of that. Next scene cut back to the DJen's party.

The the they butter gale up with some compliments. Speaker 8
I know I'm not the first to think it tonight, nor do I hope I'm the first to say it? You look rather sharp. When I saw you across the bar that occurred an uncharacteristic reaction my pants. I said, what's happening to me? He didn't know what was happening to me. Speaker 4
I said, Speaker 8

excite a A full stimulus packet. Come away erectus. Speaker 6
Gail cuts to the to the chase. What do they want to pay their bar tabs the skids panic, then dive into more flattery before asking Gail for permission to pass around their flyers promoting their snooters after hours club. Speaker 12
Snooters after hours club. Speaker 8
Very sexy, very sexual. Like hooters. What snooters? Speaker 12

Better patter. Speaker 11
Whenever it's time to come out here, I can't wait. I'm so excited. And Now, again, it's time to come home. And I'm not excited. Speaker 6
Ouch. Cut to the skids outside of Modine's electrical panel, rolled hand rolled hand Stewart wire cutters, cuts inside the bar. Katie and Gail are talking When suddenly the power cuts out in the bar, bad night to lose AC. It's about to get dank in there. Speaker 8
How unfortunate? How unfortunate? How unfortunate? How Oh, Speaker 5

But you are in luck. Letter Kenny's first and only only after hours club is no. Speaker 3

She's looking at Wayne thirstily. Katie comes out of the bar too. They're they're out of there. It's starting to smell like dudes in there. Lily is disappointed. Katie says not to worry. They're going to an after hours club. Wayne's confused. Katie introduces her brother to Lily. Lily continues undress Wayne with her eyes. Katie asks if Wayne's hammered. He isn't good because he's driving. Next scene, final scene cut to the skids basement, the after hours clubs in full swing, set to the song, fuck my nose up by the by Hudes. A bunch of b bikini clad women are dancing. It's dark and smoky. Stuart enrolled, sit on their throne like armchairs and, in their suits, Con and Derek Connor and Darian bring each platter filled with snooter and we fade to black. Alright. Now see a Speaker 7
lot of scenes. Is that just a lot of cuts between Yeah. Speaker 6
There's a lot of quick cases. Not a really quick cuts. Because, as far as length goes, it's a very normal regular episode around twenty three minutes, so not too bad. Okay. So I I'm up first with this one. And, yes, it's a very regular episode. It's, it's one of these. I I feel like it's a a transition episode. I think it's it's moving the story forward, but it it really didn't have a lot of stand out moments in it that would make me, you know, say that this is an outstanding episode in any way. It was it was amusing. I love the mangling of the English language at, with by the teachings. I thought that was a lot of fun. Like, every one of those same Speaker 0
Proverbs or whatever. Speaker 6
Yeah. Proverbs we're we're just wrong enough to be to to be very wrong. Speaker 0
Like, you just bought you wanna use them though. Speaker 6
Yeah. There's a lot of good ones in there. And like I said earlier, I feel like that's why dairy likes being there because he actually feels smart in that group of people. Whereas in in in the Hicks group, he's the dumb one in this group. He's the one using the proper proverbs properly leaving your horse to water and all that stuff. Yeah. The the skids were were fun again in in this one. And, I liked meeting Lily. I thought she was, interesting character to throw in there and, looked like that might might be a possible, like, love interest for Katie, but she turns around and and starts eyeing, weighing up and down. So that'll be interesting to see what comes of that. But, yeah, overall, kind of just mediocre episode. Be because I think it's just, like, a transition episode. I I think it was just there to move the story along. K? Speaker 3
This episode took me on a roller coaster, really. There was a lot of emotion, you know, seeing dairy coming to the produce stand. We haven't seen him there, in a couple of episodes. So it was like exciting. It's like, okay, here he is. He's he's back. This is all right. Everything's gonna be okay. And, you know, the ping pong conversation between him and squirrely Dan, And then that intensity of Katie and Wayne coming into that conversation and then calling it out, it was like the elephant in the room that he's been hanging out with the degenerans and, watching that kind of, you know, facial expression on Wayne, and then flashing over to dairy and, you know, that friendship being strange now. Mhmm. And and how they feel about the degenerines and Dairy kind of, saying they're not all bad. You know, that it it was a it was a challenging scene to to watch because, like, in one part, you know, you're excited that Jerry's there. And then seeing that, you know, it's it's not over. But yeah, there was a a lot of things going on. I did like what Wayne had said. You know, you are you a DJ now? Any reference, grown men picking up their girlfriends from high school. I had a flashback to a girl that was in high school and getting picked up by a grown ass man. And the, like, on that was so, like, I remember being young and feeling that sick. And I loved that he called that one out because that is such a degener move, and grown men should really know better. Ick. But, yeah, we had a lot of people in this, in this episode too. Tannis was there. Sitting at the table. I forgot Speaker 6
about tennis and Shania. Like, it was such a quick scene. Speaker 3
Tennis Shania, Riley Jonesie, Gail, you know, that whole which six, which nine, and you knew that the dumb dums didn't know. But yeah. The new introduction of Lily, and Katie and talking about Mexico. And and that's what I had tonight. I couldn't remember. It was a mango margarita, so I was channeling this episode, not even realizing that I went to a Mexican place and having margaritas myself. Speaker 6
But you would never move to Mexico. Speaker 3
Oh god. No. It would kill me. It would kill me. Why? Mexico hates me. We've had this conversation. Yeah. Speaker 6
We're we're gonna move on. Speaker 3
Yeah. Yeah. It it no. I I always go to the hospital after going coming back from Mexico. I I don't do well and and it tries to take my insides out, and I want them to stay in. Anyways, Speaker 6
So That's fair. Speaker 3
Yeah. It is. It is. I've been twice. It's not a it's not a mexico thing. It's a me thing. So I'm just gonna take myself out of that equation. Stewart rolled, that whole weird thing of them being on the computer and having an intellectual conversation while on snooters, weird. Like, what was happening? I the the chairs, the the hands pressed together, having kind of that alphabetic aerobics on just certain words or certain letters. I don't know what was happening. Yeah. Speaker 6
They were doing a lot of alliteration during that. Speaker 3
Yeah. It Speaker 6
was it was a well written scene, but, yeah, it was kind of out of place, but Speaker 1
over. Speaker 3
Yeah. But I didn't quite get what was happening. But, you know, plywood and, Darian. Darian, having lines again. Yeah. Which was, oh, it's always nice to to hear. Speaker 6
Ironically, on an episode about doing lines. Speaker 3
Wayne and Rosie, that whole thing happening, that conversation getting stranger and stranger. I do have to call out the first conversation, when Rosie is in the truck and the dog is that the is is behind her, and she introduces Wayne to the dog. And his reaction, oh my god, it was the best. I really loved how he pitched his voice and the excitement that we got from him because Wayne doesn't usually changes monotone. It's usually, like, one way that we get. Speaker 6
And Unless the dogs involved in it. Speaker 3
Unless the dogs involved, and then you get excited way. Speaker 6
Rosie's only hope to convince him to move to Vancouver. Speaker 3
Yeah. That was her kinda dangling that carrot. Right? Like, look at this little guy this big guy. The whole thing with the d gens and Dairy and sitting there and the girls. And, oh my god, I just wanted to punch Mick But I did find it in like, the whole don't kick spill milk, like, how difficult would those lines have been to say. Speaker 6
To say Speaker 3
wrong. Like, I I can see. I I would have been tripping over them and I'm dyslexic. So that would have been It would have been it shouldn't be easy. Lily's, staying on the farm. The g gen party, that was an interesting turn of events, Wayne and Rosie having that second call and her saying she doesn't in she's not looking forward to coming home, which, ouch. And then Lily brushing into Wayne, and and doing the whole flirt walk pass And, you know, that was just like, what's happening? Like, wait a second. Like, the the the the iron's not even cold yet. Speaker 6
She doesn't know he's involved. She's taking her shot. Speaker 3
What is happening? Speaker 7
Like, Wayne's happy to beat a guy up for doing the same thing to Rosie in episode one. So, and then Speaker 3
Exactly. Jess gets it. Jazz, is it? Speaker 6
Is that what you're going Speaker 3
for? Yeah. Like, she right. Yeah. Anyways Speaker 6
lily's a degener? Speaker 3
I don't know. She's not a deep. It's just Wayne. It's it's different. It's like the goo what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander sort of thing. Or however the degenerans would say that. Anyways, yeah, it was it was a lot. It was a full episode and it didn't really leave me feeling in in a good way because Wayne and Rosie and then Lily's coming in and then d and Derry's, like, yelling into the camera that he's a full out d jen. Speaker 6
There's a lot of illusion in a lot these pat these first three episodes to people moving on and leaving. We have Katie talking thinking about Mexico a lot. We have squirrely and thinking about, you know, leaving for the mennonites a lot. We have dairy leaving for the bee gens. Speaker 3
You don't like change. Speaker 6
Right. I know. But I think it's it's like they're setting something up. Right? It's the last season. Uh-oh. Speaker 5
Matt, what'd you think? Speaker 0
Yeah, I'm I'm torn on this one. I I like your description of of a transition episode. Mhmm. I think that's accurate. There's a lot going on. I'll quickly call it a few to me highlights, where I just kinda laughed. I thought we're great. So one. The sixty nine banter between Riley Jonesy and Gail killed me. I that just the how they pulled that off, the timing on the three of them, and their genuine confusion of where was six, where I absolutely loved that moment. I mean, it was a quick moment for those guys, but that one that one hit hard really well with me and when Speaker 6
Gail said she all was she's almost brought on on my onslaught charges for being the top of a sixty nine and Speaker 7
It was it Speaker 0
was just such a great, great little, moment there. The the all the hits at the d gens really made me laugh. Like, the one that caught me was the, eating your pizza pops with a box cutter. If I can love I love that line. There's just some really good, like, Writing wise, this episode, I thought was really good. Speaker 4
Mhmm. Speaker 0
The banter was really good. Like, you've talked about those sort of idioms or the proverbs or proverbs or whatever they were. Yeah. It's really smart. I agree the the scene with with, Stuart on the computer screen. That would weigh over my head. But I can appreciate lyrically what they did there and how they brought together sounded really good, but I didn't know what the fuck they were talking about. But all that to say. So, yes, there were some funny moments of entertaining moments, but what I did appreciate this episode was really pushing story forward. Which I think they've had challenges on Letter Kenny specifically in the past. I know Victor was shaking your head. It's okay to be wrong. But There there's a couple key things. So, dairy alone, whether you like that line or not, I think they're doing a really good job of creating divides in group. Right? You know, you you mentioned some of them. You know, they never had controversy amongst themselves. And we're really seeing that here. And I think I feel for Darry. I'm not he he's maybe he's a degener. Maybe that's how it's gonna end, but he's confused. He's not gotten the love from his peeps. He's getting love somewhere else, and he's probably having this sense of feeling liberated in these moments. Even if he is in a DJen setting, so it's a hard one to watch because he's having this really weird reality check of, is this really what I am? Mhmm. Because this feels good. Yeah. And What do I do next? So I actually really like how they're playing this one out and his divide with Wayne, especially how Wayne's getting angry at it. Speaker 6
He's hurt. Wayne's hurt. Speaker 4
I I Speaker 6
love the way he lashed out in that one scene where he's like, well, Derek, you're Djen now, and and both Swirley Dan and Katie are trying to say Wayne. Calm down. You're gonna say something you're gonna regret later. But he's he's saying that out of hurt. He he's hurt. Speaker 0
This is his oldest friend. Right? He's like, I don't know what to read. And and Wayne himself is a complicated dude, even though he may seem to. He he we can't figure him out. So I think he's just as confused by all this. So I actually really like that storyline. Speaker 6
Mhmm. Me too. Speaker 0
And then, of course, Wayne as well, Wayne and Rosie. I think they're doing a really good job of building up that and whatever is happening there. Those interactions are really, emotional. And they're and they're really bringing you into that while throwing in those subtle hits, like, oh, he's a good boy or look at that boy. Like, I I love it. I think those interactions are absolutely brilliant. So they they've let they've they've hinted at everyone having their own. Like, you called it out. Moment, the reason to leave Letter Kenny or the reason for something some change that they never had changed. So Yeah. I liked the idea of calling the transition episode. Was it the funniest episode I've seen? No, by no means. Did I think there's a really smart things I did in this episode? Hundred percent. I really like the story dynamic that's being created Speaker 2
here. Mhmm. Speaker 6
Just wanna give a shout out really quickly to Cassie, that the scene with the degenerans are mangling all the this the phrases She's she calls it idiots, idioms by idiots. Speaker 7
Yes. Speaker 6
Which I think is pretty, pretty funny. Victor, Speaker 4
Yeah. You guys have all been really kind in your descriptions. Speaker 6
Do you wanna describe your background, Victor? Speaker 4
My background is a train wreck. Mhmm. So I don't know. Like, I, you know, I'm I was trying really, really hard to find something redeeming something that I liked about this episode. And, you know, I really have to just, like, you know, it's like things like, oh, yeah. Lily was alright, I guess. She, you know, Speaker 8
you Speaker 4
know, she seemed like a nice person. Katie was a really good gracious host. Right? You know, things like that. I just there's just so many things that I don't like about this. First of all, there wasn't anything it wasn't a good it was I I think it's really unfair to the Letter Kenny fans to call this like a regular re episode because I think it was lower than that. I I just there wasn't anything really done well about it. Like, the cold so first of all, the writing was always as always it is. It's it was excellent. So it's not really about that, but in the world of the of the universe that we're talking about, the cold open was just okay. And and then all the storylines that we kind of ran through. None of them really stood out. None of them really hit, except kind of leave a bad taste in your mouth. And this is I never really liked the letter Kenny episodes that leave a bad taste your mouth. And so let's talk about the degenerines. Right? So first of all, Mickey and Harley, they show up out of nowhere. Well, Mickey shows up out of nowhere and recruits dairy. Like, why is he recruiting them? Like, why does he even care about dairy? Like, why does he even care about dairy? Like, why did he show up? Why did he put them up on, you know, on on the, a comedy night or whatever the heck it was called. Yeah. Like, where where did he come from? And why was he why did he wanna recruit the dairy into their group? It doesn't make any sense. Like, there's no back story to that. Speaker 6
Maybe there isn't one. Maybe he's just new guys down and No. But he's a He's a Speaker 4
beige and so, like, what is he up to? What's what you know, what's the what's he trying to get out of this? So you're thinking You're giving Speaker 0
the defense Speaker 7
too much credit. Speaker 6
He's a degener, but he's new to the he's new to the group. Right? He's visiting. So it may be Speaker 4
But it it makes you the way the way they did the episode and the way that everybody found him to be, found him to be suspicious, it would have you would have thought that it leading up to something that it's it's some sort of a ponzi scheme. They're gonna trick them, and maybe that's still gonna happen. Right? But but then but then Then it's like, the next episode is like, no. Now they're doubling down. Not only is Micky a cool dude. Now he's got his sister involved, and now she's, like, saying all these good things about dairy and now they're hanging out and she brought them to the group and maybe these guys aren't so bad. And then you come to this episode where The part that I you lot, I totally lost the degenerines. And I said, you know what? No. These guys are are the lowest of the low. Mhmm. Because, you know, for Tanya, her triggering thing was with, you know, the the the, picking up, pick, you know, what's what do they call it? Coming and picking up the underage student at the school. For me, it was about the dot the darts. Right? So, where Wayne is talking about saying, oh, they put out darts and dogs and, Yeah. Speaker 6
We know what Speaker 4
putting cats and dryers. And then you go to the scene of him of being cruel to that dog. Yeah. And as soon as you do that, it's like, you know what? Fuck you guys? I'm not I'm not Speaker 0
no one's no one's defending defense. Speaker 6
It's just no Speaker 4
it's not that they're defending them. It's the fact that Mickey and Harley show up and it's like, oh, maybe they're not so bad and, you know, and and, you know, dairy's now hanging out with them. And it's like, no. They are pieces of shit. And Agreed. Yeah. Yeah. I I just don't but there's there's no commitments here. Like, do you know what I mean? Like, it's just Well, Speaker 6
yeah. It's you don't know what's happening. This is Speaker 0
building. Right? Speaker 6
This is Speaker 4
I know. I'm I'm losing I'm losing hope I'm losing hope of it. Speaker 6
Alright. Okay. Speaker 0
What's your biggest worry? Speaker 6
Yeah. I mean Speaker 4
My biggest worry is they're they're gonna kinda let them off the hook. I I don't know. Like, I I just don't I don't get I don't get, like, what the backstory is. Speaker 0
Let who or let them When Speaker 6
when does Bernie ever let let the the degeners off the hook? The deacons have always gotten there come up. It's all Speaker 4
we'll see. We'll we'll see. I I just don't that whole story line, I'm not I'm not jiving with it yet because I don't know where they're going. I don't like it. I don't like the as soon as as soon as you're hurting animals, I'm out. Is all the same? Speaker 6
Well, I think I think we all agree. There's a special place in hell for for people like that. For sure. Speaker 0
Yeah. And and just going again, no one here is defending the d gens. The reality is, Dary's trying to understand his own accept because even when that happened, he was there. Did he defend it? Did he say, whoa. No. You know, he he's in a weird spot right now. They are pieces of shit. No one's gonna argue that. But he's lost and trying to figure out is this in place that he belongs? Speaker 7
Mhmm. Speaker 4
I don't Speaker 0
think it's an interview with the details. It's a Dairy Speaker 4
And where the hell did that soccer team of of, hot sniper degener girls come from? Where the fuck was that all about? Speaker 6
Well, again, I think they're looking there's gotta be a reason for Dairy to question what what group he belongs in. And and there's gotta be enough in the DJen world that would be appealing to Dairy. Right? Not just as acceptable. Speaker 4
Well, Gary and and and Riley and Jonesie and anybody else that was Well, Speaker 6
they're the the the women are appealing to Riley and Jonesie for sure. Speaker 0
You're also basing on this subject. There's only good looking girls in non DJen community. That's not true at all. They can still their their moralities and and and how they treat life and and approach things. It looks have nothing to do with it. They just put it there as a distraction, but that's Speaker 4
It just it's just it's just funny that they just showed up on it. Where where have they been have been hiding all Speaker 6
this time. Speaker 5
They were Speaker 0
in Donna and Claire enough. Speaker 6
They were in Donna. Yeah. Speaker 4
It's it's pretty funny. Anyway, like, so because the other storylines weren't really significant. So you can Wayne and Rosie is a significant story line, but that was just the phone conversation or two phone conversations. Speaker 6
But again, it's leading it's setting something up. It's leading to something. Speaker 4
Yeah. Yeah. But it's like whatever. Speaker 6
So Victor, do you want story, or do you not? Speaker 7
Right? Like And Speaker 4
and then and as and then the skids, like, it just, you know, they cut the power. So people He Speaker 0
wants yours he sees in three is what he wants. Speaker 4
To their their their their, you know, they cut the power so they come to their after hours party, but that doesn't make sense because apparently, I don't think I think they're the only ones that that, do drugs Right? Because they're always because the hicks always make fun of them for doing drugs. And now they're Katie's gonna go to that pub after hours. They're not serving alcohol. So there's the whole Speaker 6
thing just off. Speaker 4
The whole thing is off to me. Like, it's just it's just off. It's just off. Okay. Couldn't find anything redeeming in this one. Speaker 6
Alright. Fine. Jess, what do you think? Speaker 7
Davis? I think it's really good that I've come in after that, feel from from Victor because I and hear me out before I finish this. I agree with a lot of the items that he actually said. Mhmm. But I think that's a positive. I think, and and my word of the day if we're doing a Sesame Street thing is juxtaposed. And so coming in after Victor, I think it was great how they had some really uncomfortable situations. I think, Tan, you mentioned it at the start in terms of that. It it felt to me like family fighting. And then all of a sudden you're in the Skid's basement where they're wearing four piece colorful soups out of the matrix Right. Alliterating with the right wing, whatever. And then you're back to the rosy kind of stuff. So it It builds a lot more story in this episode than almost any other story that I've had. I've Well, yeah, that I think out of Letter Kenny, it's almost like they've taken some of the Shoresy stuff in terms of trying to build that story up. Yeah. Is it gonna get there in one episode? No. But I don't know. It makes you feel uncomfortable as I kinda mentioned because of the the the conflict and the tension, but I think that's a a good thing and I was genuinely worried for the the group when, Katie and Wayne were almost pairing up, and I noticed how kind of squirrely Dan was in there trying to mediate and be kind of on both sides, keep everyone together. I was genuinely feeling uncomfortable, but I think that's such a a positive out of the show that you can feel the feels for for this and then have something as stupid as the the six nine jokes and the alliteration from the the DJans, which I kind of all thought was funny. So, I mean, my biggest takeaway was as mentioned again, I'm getting paid by using the word juxtaposition, but the talking about the the dog when And Rosie's got the the camera on, and then the I think you called it a smash cut to the dog getting treated completely differently. It's just you go from, ah, this is comfortable. This is the way that maybe even has emotions based on this dog into What is this doing with an animal that he deserves to have his balls ripped off? And so it's it's kind of going from a, like, hot spar into a to an ice bath kind of shock your system kind of thing, but then there was enough of the comedy bits that were stand alone that that kind of kept it kept it going. So the release from the conflict, other points kind of I love the the cinematography in terms of this price. If you didn't raise this kind of map, but maybe it's something that's been happening already in the season, but to some of the shots around the produce stand, some of the shots in the the basement. There just seems to be a lot more. Speaker 6
Oh, entering the basement. Yeah. That was kind of a neat little, what you call it, a dolly or whatever going in, or a steady cam probably because, yeah, it was really cool the way they did that. Yeah. There's a few and and the the one around the produce stand is generally much slower, like, almost imperceptible, but in the in In the case of this episode, you're right, is a little quicker. Like, almost like a full rotation or one hundred and eighty degree rotation of of the produce standard. Yeah. Speaker 7
Yeah. So I thought that was really good. And then, yeah, I think most people have kind of mentioned a lot of the other small items in terms of, what else forgot? So the, I think tennis popping up was really good, almost acted as that voice of of reason. And because I think I do agree with you with this Victor that where is all these snipers coming from that are that are DJans and I get that it's a story and I get that you know, there's devices they kinda use, but I can't kind of draw. That was Speaker 4
a lot. Speaker 3
That was Speaker 4
a lot of snake Speaker 6
at six names. Speaker 7
But but then tennis kinda came in and went, doesn't matter, their degeners Yeah. And kind of get back to the story and then it kind of links back. So Was it the cleanest of move? No, but I think it was better than if they hadn't had tax come in and explain that. To I think probably the only other thing that the two kind of minor points that did, get on the nose a bit was Katie going fairly hard in that first scene. So, you know, show me your friends, and I'll show you who are. And again, I'm not trying to defend DJen's in any way, shape, or form. And but what was season three when she was with Shepard Kingsley, and I get that there was other benefits of of that kind of thing, but it just seemed a bit of a Speaker 6
But those two fat facts. Speaker 7
And then again, when how does Mick have so much power? That that what I don't get. And maybe that's why Derek's out. I mean, he loves the the snipers, but All of a sudden having three of them sit on the chair and Mick having three of them sit on the chair when he's obviously an idiot and treats them with no respect whatsoever. Speaker 6
Yeah. Speaker 7
So maybe it's a it's a power thing as well as being the smartest guy in the class and all the rest of it. Yeah. That's probably the bits I wanted to raise. Speaker 6
So the folks in live stream, they're playing the pee wee Herman thing where every time you say just juxtaposed, they're screaming. Like they would on pee wee Herman just so you know. So we're gonna move on to rate. Yeah. We're gonna move on to ratings now. Likely we can't hear them. So I think I mean, look, this one here, I'm I'm going to look at it in terms of what's what the intention is. And if you want story, you're gonna have to have episodes like this where the story gets moved along. It might not necessarily be the most exciting or the most whatever are the funniest, but things needed to happen. And what I love about this because it is the last season is They're setting up each main character, giving them a reason why they might wanna leave. Right? And I know, awesome had a lot to say about this and, and when she was on about we don't need to threaten people leaving to make this a satisfying ending. Right? But we don't know what's gonna happen, but I think teasing, you know, giving people reasons where they that they might need to move on from Letter Kenny I think it's a fair thing to do. And because it'll it adds to the drama of the whole thing. Right? We're we're look we're sad that it's over. And they're playing on our emotions and, we're we'll see where this heads. But anyway, I'm really enjoying that. You know, Katie's thinking about Mexico, screwly dance, thinking about being a man a knight, dairy's thinking about being a degener, Rosie's thinking about staying in Vancouver. I mean, these are all setting up for something. Right? And, and I think this episode here. Oh, and and the the the skids. Are questioning whether they need to to be doing as much coke. You know, they're they're questioning their whole snooter thing. So so there's a lot happening in this episode that I really appreciate. And I will say this. I've said this before. A clearance is not a bad rating. Clearance just means it was good. There was just nothing outstanding there to push it into a fresh. So that's what I'm giving this one. I'm giving it a clearance. Can you? Are you crying? Or Speaker 3
Yeah. No. I'm having a moment. Oh. Can you do that? Sorry. Speaker 6
Oh. Speaker 4
Oh. Speaker 0
Are you okay? Speaker 4
This is this is, award winning podcasting. Speaker 6
So you know how, sorry about that. You know, how Tanya says, you know, Mexico and her don't feel don't agree with each other. Yeah. Oh. Well, it it seems like Canadian Mexican might have the same effect. So, she said, in case she case he doesn't make it back, her vote is clearance. Speaker 0
At least I'm glad it's just that I was watching it for a minute. I'm like, is she okay over there? She's going Speaker 4
through some clearance right now. Speaker 0
It's sippy. Speaker 6
She's like something something bad is going to happen. I feel like I'm going to throw up trying to keep things down. Feels too much like Mexico. Speaker 0
I liked it. She wrote you Speaker 4
some notes. Speaker 6
Well, she said it was an authentic restaurant and well, this speaks to his authenticity. Anyway, So hopefully she'll come back. This reminds me, I think it was flashback. Yeah. And again, this whole season has a bunch of flashbacks to previous Letter Kenny episodes. This is a flashback to when Matt left us halfway through an episode. Speaker 0
Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. That was a rough one. I think I messaged I won't be back from the bathroom. Speaker 6
So, ten years This Speaker 0
is real life guys. This is how it happens. Speaker 6
This one, ten years giving this one a clearance. Speaker 0
Oh, fuck. Speaker 6
Matt. Oh. Okay. Speaker 0
So I don't know. I came in this one. This one's strange. I'm giving it I I know he vapes like fucking fanboying, blah Speaker 4
blah blah. Speaker 0
I'm giving this one. It's not a high fresh, but it's a fresh. Wow. Because I enjoy the story arc. Mhmm. I really Speaker 6
Me too. Me too. Speaker 0
I really like what they're doing with all the characters. I like that we're getting some controversy amongst the group. And I think they're telling it well. There's are they perfect? No. Like, they're they're definitely this was not a perfect episode, but I watched it three times and each time enjoyed it just as much as the last. I'm like, there's there really is something about this because, I mean, if you if you look at my my movie watching, my show watching, I like myself a good drama as much as I love a comedy. Right? And this one, like I said, not the funniest episode, but I like the story. I like the drama. I I I was feeling things as I watched A lot of these scenes. And that's what you want in, when you're watching things, you wanna feel something. So it gets a clearance. I'm sorry. I'm fresh for me. Speaker 4
Okay. I go with his first rating, please. Speaker 6
Victor, what do you give this? Speaker 4
This was a a very quick and easy compost for me at, at the end of the episode. And and you know what? Like, I I I've been really good. I haven't given, I can't remember last time I came in with a compost for any, episode of Letter Camp. Speaker 6
Are we supposed to thank you for that? I mean, Victor. Come on. Do you want to Speaker 0
join the season? Do Speaker 6
you want story or not? Like, this is giving you story. I want Speaker 4
you enough to yeah. You can you can tell us come on. You're you're you guys are really pulling it rings. Speaker 6
No. Not at all. Speaker 4
Try yeah. You're saying, oh, no. You're talking about the season and the story. Just just like, I'm talking about the episode. Okay? And so much. Book ended with the code open and and the end. And the end was, like, the worst ever. Like, they're ending with everybody going to the after party. So stupidest after party ever that none of you would go to. And and and nobody in Letter Kenny would go to except for the, skids. So, I mean, it's like it ends it's it ends as like, oh, okay. They're now at the in the basement at the after party. Speaker 1
Who Speaker 4
cares? They're, like, now am I gonna be doing this. Wait. Speaker 0
Well, none of us really focused on that. I'm talking about everything else. And we talk about the story arc. It's like, we we that's the reason I love shore I that's the reason I love shore's much just because there's real stories. And we've talked about that in past seasons of letter, Ken. I can't remember what it was, like, somewhere in the middle, like, seasons, eight, nine, or seven, eight, nine, they really started to try to tell stories, and I don't think it hit very well at all. I remember saying, here they go, they're getting away from their sort of skit or sketch level. Speaker 6
It was in the next Speaker 0
steps. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's already you wanna call them. And they tried to tell a story. I didn't think it hit very well. This one, I think they're doing a really good job in season twelve. That's why I'm giving it the raise I'm giving because I'm enjoying I wanna see where this is going, and I haven't watched ahead. I I'm following along so far. Yeah. And I'm excited to see how it ends. Speaker 4
Hey, listen. You know, last episode was a fresh. We all loved it. And this this episode was on a different level. Like, you know, and, you know, you're being a fanboy with a desk line. But, you know, so far, we've got two clearances in a combo. And you, you know, you came in with it. You're trying to balance things out. That's cool. And I'm yeah. But that's the that's my rating. Speaker 7
And you're Speaker 6
trying to throw a hippo on the other end of this scale there with with your compost picture. Jazz, what what what do you give this one? I Speaker 7
Coming out, I think it's fresh. I think the story has enough to to carry it through, and I'm usually as I'm listening to you guys and am agreeing with with Al that, you know, a clearances is not a bad episode. And there should be more clearances and even more composts given. But I don't think this is the episode for that. This had a lot of story, which isn't the normal, for a Vatican episode. It made as I mentioned, people feel uncomfortable and and having that fighting and and the issues in there, which is is not the norm, but it's setting up for a lot of kind of items. And the way that they did it at the kind of mentioned juxtapose, if I can make anyone scream again, it went from the fairly heavy story to Speaker 0
some Speaker 7
of the lighter stuff. Yes. They've done funnier things. Yes. The cold open wasn't the best, but there's an overall episode. I enjoyed it. I would rewatch it. I would show it to friends. And yeah, just thought how they did the craft of of acting writing. It all kind of came into play. A lot of the stuff, the emotions from, Wayne, and and Just everybody played their role. So even the bits of Gail and and, Riley and Jones even, you know, didn't see that one that had a pants up as snapper, and to synchronize nod. Just all added the one percenters that I call them and and that with the story. Man's with a fresh. Speaker 6
Okay. Tobias here says Victor wants a muggy next time. Headlock isn't enough from from from Jared. And and, does you got them to scream again? So there you go. Alright. Let's move on to MVPs, and it back up to me, and I haven't even thought about. Let's see. Oh, man. Speaker 4
Are you reading your script or Tanya script? Speaker 6
No. No. I mean Tanya's easy. But this one here, I it's there's so because there's like four different storylines here, and and it doesn't spend too much time on any one story. I mean, the standouts are are, like, the six the sixty nine thing with Raleigh, Jonesie and Gail. I like, other than that, obscure thing with the skids, with the the, debating the the right winger online. Although, I love the writing in that. Like, the alliteration in that was so much fun. So the skids are are are runners up, Maybe I give this one. I got maybe I give this one to to Dairy. Because he's, he's being, he's being lured over to the dark side, and he's playing that role really well because he's seeing he's seeing his value in that other group and he's being confrontational with Wayne and stuff. I so I think I'm gonna give my MVP to to Darian this one. I think, that story line I'm in I'm enjoying that story line. Again, this is our first time seeing any kind of tension with the the Hicks and, I Speaker 4
There was a whole there was a whole season with Wayne going through that depression phase. Speaker 7
Yeah. But there's no tension there. Speaker 6
He was just hiding out and they were trying to get him out of Right? They were trying to help Speaker 0
him upset. Speaker 6
Yeah. Tanya's, Speaker 4
it's, like, oh, no. Speaker 6
Tanya's MVP. She's giving it to the margaritas. In the episode. So this is a Victor MVP. And it it could also be the reason she's in the bathroom right now. It feels a Speaker 0
little timely because she's, you know, gone and Speaker 6
So she's giving it to the margaritas. Matt, who's what's your MVP? Speaker 0
Or So I'm giving my my honorable mention to Dairy. I think you're spot on. I think he really is stellar. The person I'm giving my MVP to actually in this one is rolled. All of his bits, his physical humor, like his delivery of his lines, they just they they just slayed. So, like, an example, like, when they were doing the, when they found about the the bar tab and the two hundred dollars, they start screaming. His delivery of his reaction to that just absolutely killed him. So every time he came on screen, he was so over the top, but in such an amazing playful way. Speaker 4
Mhmm. Speaker 0
He was so memorable for me in this episode. So I I'm gonna call out role even though his part was not a main line at all. It was it was it's it's stood out to me. So it's rolled. Speaker 6
Yeah. I I gave it to the pick the skids last time and, this time. Again, I I really enjoyed their their role, but, rolled is is a standout in this one. Victor. Who do you give the MVP to? Speaker 4
Oh, my god. You know, the more you guy the more you guys talk talk up this episode, the more ridiculous it gets. Oh. So I guess my struggled with this one a bit. My runner-up would be Lily, I guess, just because, you know, She's kinda Speaker 0
It's the person. Speaker 4
So that's that's Yeah. Yeah. But and that's fine. I've I've nominated people before. But I I So Speaker 6
she's Some have been unborn, though, but anyway. Speaker 4
By the way, there's a new Canadian show with, the the fetus lady Speaker 6
Yeah. Speaker 4
With but it's not great. I've watched the first couple episodes and I'm not impressed. Speaker 6
The matchmaker, by the way, the fetus That puts Speaker 0
it seriously. Speaker 6
She's this crazed Victor Speaker 0
fucking guy. Speaker 6
Okay. You gotta you give one runner-up. Go. Speaker 4
Yeah. So runner-up Lily, you know, she's kind of the mild mannered reporter and whatnot. And she's really cute. And, and but I, you know, but she took her shot with with Wayne. So I You know, you gotta gotta commend that. But I don't know. I I really dislike this episode. I didn't find anything great about it. So for me, the MVP are the credits. Fuck. Speaker 6
I think somebody actually Speaker 0
said Yeah. Speaker 6
Jeff had that. Oh my god. Yeah. Speaker 0
Jeff had that. Mbb, the end credits. Speaker 4
Oh, give that mana game stick. Speaker 7
Have you pulled that one out before Victor? Is it No. Have I got Speaker 4
No. No. I've never had that. Speaker 6
Well, he pulled, I I forget. Anyway, alright. Jazz, who's your MVP? Speaker 7
I think going honorable mentions or runner-up seeing as everyone else has done it, probably going to Wayne. I thought his emotive play in a lot of us was really, really good. And this is probably more actually to Jared than than it is to to Lane in terms of how well he conveyed those various bits and pieces and the, well, more the emotions because we know he doesn't have a huge the character doesn't have a huge range of that. But kind of continuing with the the theme of what I was saying before. No. I'm not gonna say the j word again, but MVP goes to the skids. I think particularly, there's a few elements where they come in after some hard hitting kind of story elements like when they did come in on the suits. I I wrote down that when I first watched them in those ridiculously over the top suits, it was like the skids on speed, on speed. And then that just kind of took you out of from where you were before. And then at the both the bar tab seen and then afterwards after they turned the power off and rolled just popping up and blowing out the candle in the in the way that only Evanston. Yeah. Can. There was there was those kind of moments that that made you smile and kind of brought it back. So, MVP is the skits. Speaker 6
Alright. Sweet. Alright. Let me just move on. I've got a few listener comments to go through here. We have one here. I love both Letter Kenny Subbery Universe, and this podcast is as essential to me as watching the episodes. Keep up the great work And that's from our buddy, PJ McCarthy. He also had some strong words about, episode one of this season, who he thought. He said was, like, his least favorite episode of let it kinda ever, the, of a laughter game. Speaker 4
I'd love to hear his review of this episode. Speaker 6
Yeah. Well, we'll see. Yeah. I don't think he's gone to this one yet, but We also have here, if you're a friend or follower of mine, love letter Kenny Shoresy or the queso verse, I don't know about that, and aren't aware of how freaking cool the produce stand is, Well, it here's your introduction to them. Your mom says it's okay to play with them, and that's from our buddy Smithy on on Twitter. The folks over at Proterstand Pod, gave me a little shout out near the end of this episode of last week's episode, and I'm not ashamed to admit. I fangirled over it As always, a great recap of the show. That's from Attold Pixie. And, hey, guys, I think you should do an entire episode on how awesome Terry Ryan is talked about a an amazing birthday, so proud of our boy. He's a true class act. And that's from our buddy, Don. And what he's referring to is in this the new segment that I forgot to read at forty seven years old, minor league legend Terry Ryan makes his debut for the Newfoundland growl growlers a couple of days ago. The team was riddled with, illness and injury. So he took the call. Not only did he play in the game. I believe it's a playoff game. He set the tone. He actually got into a fight. Forty seven years old, picking a fight. And it was Speaker 4
on win, but he fought. Yeah. Speaker 6
They didn't win. I think they lost six too, but he fought. And, it was on his birthday. Kudos to Terry. He did it. And and I mean, you know, I'm I'm only a year older than he is, and there's no wind hell I'd get on the ice. So he's a yeah. Kudos to to Terry for that. And thank you all for your, your comments. And, now it's time just for final comments, and I'm up. Jez, I hope you had a great time. You did a great job, bud. A lot of great insights, and, I'm glad. I mean, I'm sorry if, you didn't get a unicorn episode, but, I hope you had fun and we loved having you and meeting you and getting to know you. So thank you for coming out. I'm looking forward to the next We're halfway through this season, guys. So, it's only gonna get, you know, sadder from here, I think. Thank you so much for for coming out guys. You did a great job. Next up would be Tanya, but she's not here. So next up Let's Speaker 0
just have a moment of silence for Tanya's, final thoughts. Speaker 4
Oh, wait. As as she works through her clearance. Speaker 6
There we go. There's a moment of sound for you. Speaker 0
Well, played. Speaker 6
Matt. Speaker 0
Yeah. Jess, you you killed it, man. Thanks for coming out. Such a blast. I hope tomorrow is is good because it sounds like you're in the future, and I fucking love that. Love the future. This is a fun one. We I love when we get into some debate. Yeah. I I knew Victor was gonna hate this one. I knew it. I don't know why you just tell. Right? There's that something about it. You're like, oh, he's not gonna like that. He's not gonna like that. That's okay. Victor's wrong more than he's right. Yeah. We love him still. So I'm excited to see how this wraps up and and also scared because it's gonna end, but lots of more to come. Yeah. Another great episode guys. Thanks. Speaker 6
Oh, yeah. And a reminder, next Monday, we're being visited by, Olivia Sadler. That's right. So she will be interviewing here next Monday. If you're a patron, you'll get that right away. And if you're not, you'll get it a week later, but, looking forward to having Olivia on. Victor. Yeah. Speaker 4
Hey, Jazz. Did you see that movie American Beauty? Speaker 0
You make a Maybe. Reference to the the garbage bag flat Speaker 4
right here. Yes. So and, Matthew, you and I are, like, so in sync, You know, I love you, man. You you know, and and you're as you're getting older, you're getting wiser. So I appreciate that about you. So, you know, you're you're a beautiful man, Jess. You can look at you can look at a plastic bag floating through the through the air and find beauty in it. And and so I do appreciate that about you as well. You were great on the episode. You brought lots of insights and and you were able to, you know, again, find find a rainbow inside a thunderstorm. So I have I appreciate that. And you're what you, you know, you're welcome to Quebec anytime. And anybody who's got two guitars and a DJeng guitar behind it behind them is is also a class act. So I appreciate that as well. Speaker 1
Sort yourself out. Speaker 7
Jazz. Thanks so much for having me on. I think it was a a great episode. I I think I came in hoping that everyone was gonna be on the same page and and all the rest of it. I I honestly didn't even cross my mind that there would be so much kind of discussion, but in Speaker 6
It's more fun that way, though. Come on. Speaker 7
Yeah. Definitely. In hindsight, it's it's really good because it One makes me stand on my own convictions and be able to have that conversation, but hearing other people have their own thing. And I think and again, not good for a a audio podcast, but I must say I haven't been able to watch too many of the live streams because I'm at work usually when they kinda come out. But Victor, seeing you smile right right the way through made me feel so good. So, Happy birthday, Matt. Didn't mention that earlier. So I hope you spoke about that a bit. Just quickly, I wanna say thank you to all you guys and and the fact that you kind of keep going on the way that you do, I know you two hundred. There was a lot of people that said a lot of really lovely things. I suppose I wanna echo that, I jokingly said on the alcohol that I came here for parenting advice, but I think it's been really good that like a lot of the stuff I I listen to and I can relate to. So whether it's starting going running again for the first time in in a little while or or listening to a new album I've not heard of or or preparing for a Harry Potter themed birthday party or something like that, you can always kind of resonate and and every time I listen, I'll generally resonate with somebody else. So it it's not always the character that I'm not always following. One person, not always on that side, I'm not always on big to side. It's it's a real good chop and change, and I just think that makes you guys, bloody beauty. So thank you so much for having me. On. Really appreciate it. Speaker 6
Thanks, bud. Speaker 7
Just the position. Speaker 6
There you go. Oh, they asked you to do it one last time, and now they're screaming in the live stream. And I'm gonna play us off here with a song from this episode. I love this song too. It is called take me to the freeway by the genders. Here we go. Speaker 5
I'm free. Speaker 6
And that's all we have for this episode. Next week here we go. We were recapping review episode four of season twelves snooter with her buddy, Sarah. And if you'd like to support this podcast, please tell us a friend also falls on most social media outlets at produce and pod for joining us. Now we're gonna go, to the TPS after hours club. There are no snooters, but we got beers and stuff on behalf of Jazz, Tanya, Matt Victor, and myself. Thank you for listening. And have a great week.
