Welcome to the produce stand the new produce stand two point o, Katz. Hello. So great to have you on to finally meet you. I mean, you've been a patron for a while now, and I've seen your name, and we've been following you on Instagram and all your tattoo videos, and we're gonna get to all of that in a second. But it's it's great to have you on. Thank you. Thank you for joining us. Speaker 10
Thank you for having me. Speaker 0
So before we begin, I know it's a two point o, but I gotta ask the standard questions because it is your first time on the podcast. And you first of all, where are you speaking to us from? Speaker 10
I am in Austin, Texas. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Austin, Texas. Amazing. And, the the cool part of Texas, we we like to to call it. Speaker 10
Exactly. Speaker 0
Now you're in Austin, Texas. How the heck did you learn about either Letterkenny or Shorzy, whichever one? Which came first? Speaker 10
Letterkenny came first. Mhmm. One of the people that I follow on Twitter had posted the season nine trailer. Speaker 0
Okay. Speaker 3
And I'd Speaker 10
never heard of Letterkenny before, but I watched the trailer and I immediately put the show on my watch list and I didn't get to it right away. It was probably about six months later. So I think it was June of twenty twenty one. Speaker 0
Okay. Speaker 10
I started from the beginning and just immediately loved it. Before I was even done with the first episode, I was texting my friend going, oh my god. Have you seen Letterkenny? It's amazing. Speaker 0
Now, I mean, you're in Texas right now, but you're not from Texas. You've you've traveled around a bit. We kinda talked about that a little in the preshow. But, like, talk about the some of the different places you've been. Speaker 10
So I was born in Chicago. Mhmm. And when I was still a baby, we moved to Hong Kong for three years and then back to Illinois for a year and then to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan for four years. Speaker 7
That's crazy. Speaker 10
And then, we moved here to Austin just before I turned ten. Speaker 0
So you've been around, but, I mean, Letterkenny must have been very foreign to you in terms of although your years in in Moose Jaw, I think you were a little young. That is kinda very rural Canada, but there's still a difference between Saskatchewan and Ontario. What did I mean, what drew you to the show? Speaker 10
I when I saw that season nine trailer, having never heard anything about the show before, I just loved all the word play. Speaker 7
Mhmm. Speaker 3
I Speaker 10
thought it was hilarious and interesting. And, just immediately from the get go, I just love the humor of the show. Speaker 0
Alright. So and when did you discover our podcast? Speaker 10
Right after the, Jerry Keeso interview. I saw the the Bell Media release about it and immediately looked up the interview, listened to it, and then just went to episode one of the podcast and just binged it. Speaker 3
Wow. Speaker 10
Just, like, multiple episodes a day every day until I caught up. Speaker 0
So you're all caught up already? Speaker 10
I am. Speaker 0
That's that's, like, that's over that's almost four years worth of episodes that you just did did in, like, a few months. Yep. That's crazy. Not incredible. The other Speaker 7
thing sick of us yet. Speaker 3
I was a little sad Speaker 10
when I, like, finally caught up. I was like, oh, no. Not good. Speaker 3
For the next one. Oh, no. Speaker 0
I'm sure you have lots of questions and and comments for all of us, especially Victor. But, I I alluded to this really quickly, but you you your tie one of your things that you're, you know, known for because we've Matt and I at least follow you on on Instagram is you're a tattoo enthusiast. You've got a lot of tattoos. Why? Like, what what got you into tattoos? Speaker 10
I started getting tattoos long ago, but I just had gotten a few over the years. They were small, inconspicuous. Sure. And, several years ago, I thought of a couple more that I wanted to get, and I didn't have a tattoo artist at the time. Right. And kept trying to find a new artist, but everyone I every time I would find someone who looked promising, their books were closed, and I would give up and eventually finally found a shop that was near my house and went in to get the first of the two tattoos I wanted, and then I just kept going back. And eventually, I started going every single Friday. Speaker 0
Every fry I mean, because you've got tattoos, like, on your even on the palms of your hands, you just recently Speaker 10
my hands. Wow. Speaker 6
Holy cow. Speaker 1
Yeah. All over. Speaker 0
And, I mean Speaker 5
All over. Speaker 7
Have you ever counted? Speaker 10
Yeah. No. I did for a while, but I stopped somewhere in the forties. Wow. Speaker 0
Jeez. I was I was joking I was joking about this, in the preshow, but I hope your tattoo artist has, you know, punch cards so you get, like, every tenth one free because, I feel like you're giving them a lot of business. Speaker 10
Well, they deserve it. They're amazing. They're, actually, the reason I'm still in Austin, I had been planning to move, to Pennsylvania. Right. And then I started going to this shop, ended up becoming friends with all three of the artists because I'm there every week, and then started becoming friends with some of the other regular clients. And I have this huge friend group here, and I decided not to move. Yeah. Speaker 0
It's amazing. You wanna give them a shout out? Do you wanna give give them some, yeah, Speaker 10
yes. Noble Jackals tattoo in Austin, Texas. Speaker 0
There you go. Noble Jackals. Best. Speaker 10
Noble Jack. Speaker 0
Anyone or any of our listeners live in in the Austin area and wanna get a get get a good tattoo, that's where you should go. Noble Jackals. Amazing. Speaker 5
So what what are you going to do? And I wanna say hi because we haven't really met yet. Hi. It's so nice to meet you. And I'm so, like, intrigued. Like, what what what are you what are you thinking of doing when you run out of space? Like, are you just gonna start coloring things in? Speaker 10
Well, there will be touch ups, and I'm, like, wracking my brain trying to think of more more places I could get tattooed, but I'm basically fully covered. So Mhmm. I think tomorrow's appointment is gonna be, like, the last new tattoo, and then I'll just be down to touch ups and maybe a little filler here and there. And but I'm still gonna hang out at the shop every Friday because that's what I do. Speaker 5
Absolutely. How do you take care of the ones that are on your hands? Because I have a friend that has one on the back of his hand, and it's smudged a little bit. Like, it it Yeah. Speaker 10
The hands are tricky. We had to touch up, the ones that, I already have on my hands. But usually just one touch up and then they're fine. But they do they're a little harder to heal because you're just constantly using them and washing them. And Speaker 0
Yeah. There there are a lot of people who, you know, talk about, like, the most painful parts of your body to have tattoos, like the back of the knee or or the elbow or whatever. What would you say was the most painful one you you got? Speaker 10
Probably, on my left arm. Speaker 0
Okay. Speaker 10
This kinda half sleeve when we added all of this black and Uh-huh. My elbow and around my elbow. Speaker 0
Right. Right. Speaker 11
That Speaker 10
one was pretty painful. But for the most part, I don't really think tattoos hurt. Speaker 0
Oh. Speaker 3
And Speaker 0
Oh, there you go. Speaker 10
They tell me I am an alien. Speaker 3
Is there real it Speaker 5
must be relaxing. Speaker 10
It is relaxing. Sometimes I have to force myself not to take a nap. Speaker 7
What's what's your longest session that you've sat for? Speaker 10
Probably about four hours. Speaker 7
Nice. Yeah. Speaker 0
That's good. Yeah. Amazing. Alright. Well, you're here today. Speaker 7
Jealous. Speaker 0
Well, we we welcome you here today. Thank you so much for joining us. Let's get this rig rolling. It's awesome. Tonight's lineup is gonna be Tanya, myself, Matt, Victor, and then Kat will have last word as our guest. Tanya, how have you been? Speaker 5
I've been well, I think, I feel, maybe. I don't know. It's it's been a it's been a week. It's the end of June. Like, blink, and it's done again. And, July first is, Canada Day, so this is our long weekend. And, yeah, like, that's that. School's over. Exams were rough. I feel like I took them even though I didn't. I felt like I studied enough and and You Speaker 7
sure did. You did. Feel like Speaker 0
you studied more than our son did. Speaker 5
I might have actually just maybe even passed a little bit for grade eleven physics, which I never took my first pass through for, for high school, but I feel like I could maybe have nailed that one. Speaker 3
Yeah. Speaker 5
Yeah. Maybe not very well, but, like, maybe a little bit. Yeah. So that, thank God, is over because that was not fun. This week, other than than, that and school, we're getting ready for family to come and visit us, which is always a blast, and, looking forward to that. I'm I'm still, rocking a sore foot and trying to find, different ways to, get, to what I want to do and still not let it stop me. So, that is my next new challenge is to, figure out how to vacation and walk mass distances without walking. Speaker 0
Tanya might be rocking a kneeling scooter Yeah. For for our vacation. Speaker 5
I I'm I'm not sure what it's gonna look like, but it's I'm gonna figure something out. So yeah. And I'm looking forward to I have my specialist appointment, coming up in mid July. So, hoping, fingers crossed, that, there's a a good solution there for that because it is getting quite, challenging. It's been, like, what, six months? It's been stupid long, and I can't wait to walk again, like, proper walk. So, yeah, looking forward to that. But pretty much that's it, I think. There's I don't oh, we got into a new show. Oh, no. It's the show that Victor, recommended. This is Us. It's just yeah. Lovely. Love, love, love the show so far, and thank you so much, Victor, for that. And happy birthday to Victor. Speaker 0
That's right. Speaker 8
Yes. Speaker 0
I hadn't wished him a happy birthday yet because it wasn't my turn, but I was going to. And Matt hasn't yet. So Speaker 12
Matt. Speaker 7
It's on my paper. Uh-huh. Speaker 5
Didn't you didn't you get my message? Speaker 7
I I I was first one a message in our group Speaker 0
this morning. Yes. You were. Speaker 7
Just saying. Just saying. Speaker 0
Alright. I've had an eventful week. This this weekend, we had our the the weekend's band had our annual show that we look forward to all the time at at at the marina up in Orillia. It's an outdoor show that we do for a marina and, like, a a bunch of like, in on a floating barge facing a bunch of boats and stuff. It's a really cool show, except that this weekend, it didn't fucking stop raining all weekend, and it was a a miserable day. We we had just enough time to set up, play maybe a ninety minute set, tear down, and get the hell out of there. Normally, we would be there from six PM until midnight, playing four sets, four hours of music, and, yeah, it didn't happen this time. So that was kinda not fun, but we got it done. We we we made the most of it, and the and the folks were still happy with what, with the show we put on. Then Monday, I ended up spending half the day in the ER, with, with some chest pains and stuff, and, everything's fine. Test came back negative, and I was okay. Might have just been like a pulled muscle or something from the weekend's events. Who knows? But, I got it checked out, and everything's good. But, let me tell you, I hate you know, no I know the ER is no fun for anyone, but it's been a long time. And I hope it's a long time before I have to go back because it's no fun. And then today today, we I went to Toronto Mike's, listening experience. It also his fiftieth birthday, and he there was, I don't know, close to a hundred people there, and everyone got fed free pasta and and free beer. And I I got to see Miriam. Miriam was there, and she's looking good and good spirits and looking strong. And and we're all we're all pulling for Miriam, and it was it was great to give her a hug today and and and Juan as well. And I ran into you in service and and y y z gorge. So even though it's a Toronto mic event, there was a lot of dGen representation. So, it was great. And then I raced home just in time to be with you guys tonight, because I've been looking forward to this. I hope you guys like the opening. By the way, shout out to Tate and Webb. That opening, yes, it was amusing. It was also all haikus. The entire opening was a string of haikus. They wrote it. Amazing job. So so kudos. I wanna make sure that they get their their flowers because that was so well done. Matt, you're up. Speaker 7
Yeah. First, couldn't agree more. Tate and Webb absolutely slayed it. It was so fun to read. I I got a a preview of that before, and I and I loved it. So shout out, guys. It's amazing work. My week, honestly, I don't remember most of it. I've been tired. It's been it's been along with schools all wrapped up on all three kids, so that's been fun. My youngest, ended on a bang by cursing and swearing at his teacher yesterday, and he's four, so that's fun. And then kicking and screaming today on his very last day. So, yeah, that was fun. But he's done now, so welcome home for the summer, little man. The bear is back. I know. Speaker 5
Have you seen it yet? Speaker 0
Well, it just started today. So Speaker 7
Yeah. I've already watched two episodes. I won't say much. Speaker 0
It got a it got a bit of a bad review from, I think it was Variety or or Speaker 7
I saw that. Speaker 0
One of those newspaper Variety. Was it Variety? Speaker 7
Had some headlines sayings. I don't know. It didn't sound very good. Anyways, what I've seen so far, I like. Yeah. But we'll see. I'm a big fan of that show, so I'm psyched it's back. Mhmm. The other big news this week, and I'm not I'm still digesting and figuring out how to navigate this one, is my oldest, thirteen now, has found Pornhub. So Speaker 0
That's right. Sorry. I don't mean to laugh. Speaker 8
Oh, no. Laugh. Speaker 11
Laugh. Oh, Speaker 0
no. Oh. Speaker 3
Yeah. That is awesome. Yeah. Speaker 7
So, Speaker 0
you can't do that. Happen? Speaker 7
I it's I don't know. I I I completely I maybe I've just been naive to how easy content is to access, and he's got a phone. Speaker 8
Mhmm. Speaker 7
And, you know, I I do the dad thing. So from time to time, because he is connected to my phone, I will just kinda peek in. I don't read anything. I just check his random searches or just to make sure everything's copacetic. Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 7
And for a long time, nothing. Like like, I think at one point, the worst thing I found was him looking up how to make homeroom how to make dunkaroos at home. I'm like, okay. This is cool. And then out of nowhere, this past weekend, I'm like, let me take a glance, and there it is just lined up. Site after link after link after link after link. He found it all. So Jen and I are scrambled. We're like, oh, fuck. How do we how do we handle this? Because I I I am and I told I did address it very because I didn't have a chance to have a full conversation. I did address it, and I let him know that I'm aware and that we're gonna be having a bigger conversation about this and understanding it a little bit better because he he needs to understand this is not realistic. Speaker 0
This is Yeah. Speaker 7
Like, he's only thirteen. This is not real life. This is and in most case, most people's lives, this is not real life. Yeah. But, anyway, so I wanna I wanna have a proper conversation, but you should have seen his face. So, you know, I I bumped into him in the morning, after we had figured all that. I was supposed to take him to school with his brother, so I only had about thirty second chance to just acknowledge it. Speaker 10
Just to scare the shit of him, really. Speaker 7
Just to scare the shit of him. So he made some comment and and used the word but, and I can't remember why. I'm like, oh, speaking of buts, and he's like, what? I'm like, I'm like, I I think you forgot one vital fact about your phone, bud. He's like, what's that? I'm like, it's connected to mine. He's like, oh? Speaker 0
I'm like, Speaker 7
yeah. You've been doing some interesting searching, and you saw his face just go white. He knew. He's like, oh, yeah. I'm like, a little bit too young in there, bud. We're gonna have a bigger talk when, when you get back here. Speaker 3
And he Speaker 7
was just like, okay. He kinda laughed and walked away. I'm like, yep. And I've checked. He hasn't searched anything since. Speaker 11
So He he's Speaker 3
using his burner for that. Yeah. Yeah. He's got a burner for sure. Yeah. Threeteen year old with a burner. Speaker 0
Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, my god. Again, he's thirteen. I mean, Speaker 7
I was looking at whatever at thirteen, but, like, the the access to content is was wild. Right? Speaker 10
Like Yeah. Speaker 0
I found my dad's porn magazine stash when I was probably Speaker 3
ten or Speaker 7
eleven. And playboys and and then then the, fuzzy screens that you kinda look to see if you could Oh, man. What was Speaker 0
going on. Yeah. We we call them the Picassos. Yeah. Because they were scrambled. Speaker 5
I will never ever forget that, Moe. I my parents got one of those gigantic satellite dishes, like, back in the, whatever, nineteen nineties. It was gigantic, and we didn't have a TV guide yet. So my friend and I stayed up all night pressing each and every satellite and going through all twenty four channels. And then the next morning, because I'm too stupid to not know not to say anything, I remember telling my parents, did you know that there's a a move called the hamburger? It's where the woman is in the middle, and the two guys are on either side. And I called it the hamburger. I thought I was, like, fan I was, like, naming things. And, no. That those satellites quickly became unavailable. Speaker 7
Yep. Yep. And I'm loving all the chatter here in the in the in the the group chat here. I remember when we waited thirty minutes for a pic that didn't move. Speaker 0
Like, this Speaker 7
is what we first came into when the Internet first became alive. Yeah. But, anyways, I'm dealing with that. And and we we consider us pretty cool parents, so we'll address it and and make light of it. But at the same time, make sure he understands what it is and and and and sort of setting expectations. But Yeah. Anyways, that's a new obstacle that I'm navigating. So welcome to my week. Speaker 0
Oh, wow. Fun. Speaker 9
Good luck. Speaker 0
Victor. Good luck. Speaker 11
Oh, I thought you're next, Al. Are you sure? Speaker 0
I already said mine. I remember I spent the Monday in the hospital and all that shit. Oh, and by the way, happy birthday, Victor. Speaker 7
Fuck. I damn it. Happy birthday. Even wrote it on the paper. Speaker 8

Condolences to our buddy, Jay, but, kudos to our buddy, Tom. Speaker 11
That's right. That's right. I mean, you know, Canada lost, but it's all mostly Canadian players in Florida anyway. Speaker 0

Yeah. And it and it was nice to see Luongo hoist the cup. So say so. So so for that So I Speaker 7

I mean, how could they not win? They had god singing the national anthem. So Speaker 7
You took that for risky, didn't you? Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 11
So so, anyway, so that happened. What else happened this week? Oh, my daughter came by last weekend, and, she played, so we're working on the song together. If you guys remember a long time ago, I think I I think I shared it on one of our socials, like, this song that I wrote about Pumpkin last year or with Pumpkin when she passed. Speaker 0
Wait. You wrote a song with Pumpkin? Your cat? Speaker 11
Yeah. You don't remember you don't run nothing. So yeah. So it was it was called The Voyage, and and I shared it with with you guys. It was just kind of a rough, recording of me on my guitar. Mhmm. But, yeah, like, so she the last two couple of weeks, she wasn't doing well. Right? So, and it was just we were just sitting together, just just sitting together. Right? Just enjoying the moments, and we knew there wasn't gonna be much time. And, yeah. So I was just sitting there with my guitar and just the song kinda came she was my muse, and together, we kind of and and it all kinda came together just the day before she passed. And, so so that happened, and I share with my daughter, and then she completely redid it. Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 11
And she's putting lyrics to it right now, and it's gonna be incredible. So so that was really nice. It was really nice to kind of spend the weekend with her last, that way, and, I'm looking forward to see how it all turns out. So that's really cool. What else? Oh, yeah. So yesterday was my birthday. So we went out, and I had my, the meal, my connection to cat here since it's Hong Kong lobster Hong Kong style. Speaker 0

But, yeah, that was nice and got some nice gifts. Got a New Jersey jersey, and, Trecella, which is a Georgian delight. Let's see what else. Oh, got my Kievsky cake, which is the best cake in the world from Kiev. Speaker 0
Better than black velvet or red velvet? Sorry. Speaker 11
You should just wash your mouth mouth out with black velvet or red velvet for saying that. Anyway, I mean, they're not even the same conversation. Okay, Victor. Yeah. They're not even the same language. Speaker 0
I'm now regretting trying to get a rise out of Victor. Go on. Speaker 7
You poke Speaker 0

Oh, yeah. And then and then, today, we found out we need a new furnace and air conditioner and all that kind of stuff. Speaker 0
So Speaker 11

On the bright side, the heat wave's over, so you don't you're not stuck in it. Speaker 11
The heat wave yeah. The the time is right. So guys coming over tomorrow morning, and it will all get fixed, but, our pockets will be a little leaner after that. Yeah. Anyway, so, every and then we're starting this whole new season. Yeah. I guess, is is this, like, a new season of our podcast? I feel like it is. Right? Speaker 0
This is TPS part two. Yeah. Part one was, like, almost four years. Now we're into part two. So there you go. Yeah. Speaker 11
Yeah. So that's exciting. Yeah. And and, Kat, like, you you're you're the first one. Mhmm. That's very exciting. Speaker 3
No. Speaker 0
And, Kat, how have you been? Speaker 10
I've been good. My week has been pretty uneventful. Good, but uneventful. This is, like, the big event of my week right here. Speaker 0
Oh, wow. But I, Speaker 10
I moved house, a couple months ago. So for the last couple months, I've just kind of been getting settled in. And, Victor, I feel your pain. I had to replace the air conditioner and the water heater and most of the plumbing Yeah. Siding. It's been a lot. So Oh. I feel your pain. Speaker 0
The joys of new homeownership. Right? Speaker 10
Yes. But it's good. It's been a good change. I really like it. Speaker 0
Alright. Well, why don't we get this ball rolling then with, what's coming up here? Previously. Last week, our buddy Tobias joined us to kick out his top ten letter Kenny jams. Shout out and happy birthday to Tron Mike. This week, we begin our coverage of Shorzy season three beginning with episode one four to six. Tanya, are you ready? Speaker 5
Good. Because I'm going. Speaker 0
Matt, are you ready? Yes. Victor, are you ready? Speaker 6
It is. Speaker 0
Kat, are you ready? Speaker 8
I'm going. Alright. Speaker 7
Tickets are fucking going. Yeah. That's good on the go, boy. We They're prepped us a little more for that one. Speaker 0
We open. You should know you should know what the, the answer to that question is. Come on. We open with the song Do It live by, Death From Above and the title card that reads last season on Shorzy. And we get a recap from the previous season delivered by Nat as she reminds us that it was a dream season. The Blueberry Bulldogs went undefeated twenty four and o after going almost entirely winless the year before, a no show record. Then things got better when they won their bid to host the senior national tournament. But after their perfect season, the playoffs didn't go exactly as planned and cut to Shorzy in the title screen. Then the beautiful song Blues Run the Game by Laura Marling begins playing. We see the blueberry bulldogs kneeling on the ice in their rink watching the Sue Hunt celebrate winning the no show championship in their barn. And then we cut to the handshake line as the Bulldogs congratulate their opponent, then cut to the sluts once again kneeling on the ice looking at dejected as the camera slowly zooms in on Shorzy. And then we immediately cut to Shorzy, sobbing loudly in the locker room. Speaker 3
So Speaker 7
dumb. Speaker 0
Shorzy calls the team a bunch of fucking losers. All the other players just sit there quietly. Production note. It's important to note that many of the players have a strip of their head shaved down the middle, like, kinda like reverse mohawks a la Keith Flint from The Prodigy, only not as cool. Sanguinet walks in and tries to console his team. He grabs a stick from the freezer. Speaker 13
Nothing worse than losing to the Yanks. Speaker 6
In our own fucking barn. Especially our own barn. Speaker 3
Boss. Speaker 6
Cut. Maybe there ain't no best to it. Speaker 13
But just because we lost, doesn't mean there shouldn't be a game stick. Kitty, you play through a separated shoulder, dolo, foot fracture. Speaker 6
Never see a team so hurt as this by the Lord Jesus. Speaker 13
But she came back from a skate laceration to the neck. Shorzy, you came back from a concussion in the first round, and you've played through a torn groin and a hip pointer. What happens with the hip pointer? Speaker 7
Can't push when you shit. Speaker 13
You were the leader this team needed. Shorzey, game's the ghost to you, my man. Speaker 0
The players all clap. This makes Shorzy wail even louder, but not because of the love he's getting from his teammates. He brought the sluts in because everyone was acting like bitches, and now they're acting like bitches too. Speaker 8
Look. We just lost in the eggs. You're all acting like you wanna eat each other's pussy. Speaker 0
Mama not. It Speaker 3
looks like you're Speaker 8
opening a second bottle of wine with your gal pals. Speaker 11
My son? Speaker 8
I don't wanna fucking lift my head right now because you probably all give each other ski poles. Come Speaker 13
on, Shirley. This is fucking positive. Speaker 8
Fucking Sommerfeld's dog bubbles is licking her lips happy all fucking night for one. Okay. Fucking princey's fat sister isn't looking as ugly as when she tried to fuck me two years ago. Speaker 13
Or is he? Speaker 8
Fucking Michael's ex sweetie flashed me her purse, and I thought it was an accident, but now I don't think it was. Hey. Speaker 7
What about Phillips? Speaker 13
He had the game of his life. Speaker 8
Who? Phillips. That's Phillips. Speaker 13
Oh, it isn't? Speaker 3
What do Speaker 11
you think that is? Speaker 8
I don't fucking know. Speaker 6
Shows you the boys are hurt. Speaker 7
It's fucking hockey. Speaker 8
You go to your can't go no more. Fuck. Speaker 0
Shorzy storms out, leaving the players to sit there feeling shame. Dolo suggests they go to the bar. Goody says they should get drunk. Fish wants clarification. How drunk exactly? Michaels adds, like, no show record party drunk. We cut to quick shots of the team celebrating the no show record, shots of them drinking on the bus, posing with the trophy, jumping in the pool, presumably wearing nothing but swim trunks or underwear, and then cut back to the locker room, saying what saying, when that doesn't think they should get that drunk again. And production note, every time we cut to the shots of the no show record celebration, and they will many times in this episode, the the song that's playing is Rio de Janeiro by the artist, Truck Killas and Sango. Next scene, Meagan Zieg are in Nat's office trying to console their boss. Well, at least Meagan's. Speaker 5
This is unfortunate, pathetic, Speaker 9
a real cunt. We're hosting the national senior tournament in a week. Speaker 14
We're beat up from the feet up. Seven days rest can go a long way. Speaker 9
We're supposed to be there because we're the best team. Speaker 15
Now we're only there because we're the host team. Speaker 14
So the host team gets in automatically. Look at it as good fortune. Speaker 9
We're the team that gets in on a formality. Speaker 14
We're throw ins. No matter how you get to the dance, you Speaker 2
just gotta get there. Speaker 15
We're filler. Speaker 3
Freeloaders. Speaker 9
Nat. When they see the Sudbury guys, do you think anyone's gonna look at them and say, uh-oh. Won't get any respect. Speaker 14
Sometimes you have to demand it. Yo. Last year we wanted to win one game. This year we won them all. Now we have a chance to win the whole country. Cash in. We've got a week to get these guys over this loss and refocused for the national senior tournament. We've gotta get him healed. Speaker 0
Nat's glad there won't be much fighting in the tournament. Zeke thinks they're they're still senior Welsh at hockey, so there'll probably be plenty of fighting. Meaghan plores Nat to go check on Shorzi. Zeig wants to know when he's going to start chipping in on the score sheet. Nat responds that Shorzi always finds a way to contribute. Shorzi can't handle losing. Nat says, show me someone who can, and she'll show you a loser. Nat decides they need to get drunk. Zeig asked for clarification. How drunk? Mig adds, no show record party drunk? Cut some more pictures of the no show record celebration. Then back to Nat who responds, she doesn't think they should ever get that drunk again. Scene three, set to the song Sunday by Danny Towers featuring Pouya. Shorzy sitting alone in the locker room still in his hockey gear. Cut to the Sluts headed to the townhouse to drink away their sorrows. Nat, Meagan, Zieg are also there. The sluts sit at the bar quietly drinking beers and shots. Just then, the bar erupts in noise as the Sioux hunt players barge in celebrating their win, carrying a well dented trophy. They go up to to the bar right next to where the sluts are seated, slam the trophy on the bar, and start taunting the sluts. Big ugly ugly Palmer offers them a chance to give the trophy a hoist. Delaney joins in on the chirping. Schnur tells his players to quit the chirping. The sluts just sit there taking it. Goody tells them to drink their beer. Cut to Nat's table. Sanguinek joins them. Meek offers to get bouncers, but Nat says they don't need them, hoping to see a little fight from her guys. Back at the bar, chirping from Palmer, and Delaney continues with Schnurf feebling, asking his guys to cool it. The sluts don't respond. Nat, Meek, Sieg, and Sieg wonder what's wrong with them. Scene four cut to shore in his apartment with Sanguinette. He's fucking hurt. He's fucking real hurt. Sanger asks if it's his head or his hand. No to both. It's his heart. Sanger asks him if he's hurt or injured. Speaker 8
Or the fucking teenage mutant injured turtle. Speaker 13
You gotta leave it behind you, my guy. Speaker 8
Game seven. In our barn. Speaker 13
We focus. We're going to the national senior tournament. Yeah. Speaker 8
It's fucking honorable mentions. Speaker 3
This sucker. Speaker 8
There's runner ups. Speaker 13
Runners up. There's the Speaker 8
guys who didn't earn it. It's embarrassing. Speaker 0
The sluts are in the kitchen looking at girls on the Internet because, well, they had a sec. Lapsed, Hitch, tells Shorzy he needs a break after the hit he took in the first round. Shorzy should be out four to six weeks. Speaker 8
Four to six. Four to six momento. Speaker 3
Just because if Speaker 8
you can't push when I shit, you think it's four to six? Speaker 6
Settle down. Speaker 0
Shorzey, gets defensive. Says Goody is hurt worse than him. He's got his arm in a sling. Goody corrects Shorzi. It's a holster. Hitch says to Dolo Dolo's hurt worse than Goody. This gets Dolo's back up. They continue to argue over who's more four to six, also known as injured. Sanguinet just sits there looking more and more annoyed at the conversation. Shorzey says it doesn't matter. They're all fucking losers anyway. Sanguinette's had enough. He storms out of the apartment, slamming the door and disturbing Big Sexy. Hitch finally proposes they have a walking competition to figure out which one of them is the most four to six. Cut to Meagan Zeig in Nat's office. They're having the same conversation about who's the most hurt. Speaker 14
Shorzi really got his bell rung in the first round. Speaker 15
His fucking goes the second round. Speaker 14
He got trucked. Speaker 9
Maybe it'll make him less stubborn. Speaker 15
Won't make him less stupid. Speaker 0
The Bulldogs' management gets started with their scouting of their upcoming opponents for the senior tournament. Meanwhile, back at Shorsey Shorsey's apartment, the sluts lay down the ground rules for their walking competition. Speaker 8
Well, can I premise it by saying something first? Speaker 7
Premise? Speaker 6
What do you mean premise? Speaker 8
I wanna because Speaker 0
they quit premise. Speaker 6
You can tell it's junk, Preface. You wanna ruin a good piece of toast. Speaker 8
How do you Speaker 6
well, he wants to say something before he walks. Right? Speaker 8
I'm just gonna say a few words. Yeah. Speaker 6
K. Well, he wants to preface it. So Speaker 8
I meant to say preface, but I said premise? Speaker 6
That's what you did, boy. Speaker 8
Oh my god. One nitty a day. What about now? Good thing no chicks saw that. Settle down. Speaker 6
I'd die, is it your butt? Speaker 8
Well, I guess I'm going to preface my walk by saying and I'm sure you've all noticed this before. I have one leg shorter than the other. By how much? About two inches. Speaker 0
They're supposed to inches. Speaker 3
Inch and Speaker 8
a half, two inches. Yeah. Speaker 6
No. But I never knew that old man. Speaker 8
Well, I try not to make a big deal of it. Try to try to get in my way, get me down. But if you notice something in my walk, it's probably that. Speaker 0
How old is he? I Speaker 8
don't have to talk while I'm doing it or Speaker 6
anything. Right? Speaker 8
Go. You want me to rush you when you're walking? Speaker 0
Because the bald guy. Speaker 3
It's having Speaker 8
a little etiquette in here, boys. A little sportsmanship here now. Speaker 0
Sure. Sure. Sure. He finally takes his walk then turns around, walks back while reminding the others of his shorter leg. When he's done, Dolo is the first to judge. His diagnosis is four to six. This upsets Shorzy. Just because he can't push when he shits, Goody informs him that he walks like he had his shit pushed. Hitch knew Shores he would be looking four to six, but he didn't think he'd be looking that four to six. Cut to the Bulldogs management. Meague starts the scouting report saying there are six teams from all over Turtle Island representing Western Canada, Eastern Canada, Quebec, Northern Ontario, Southern Ontario, and them. Up first, repping Western Canada from the province of Alberta, home of treaties six, seven, and eight, are the Brooks Barrelmen. Now production note here, a treaty is an agreement made between the Canadian government, indigenous groups, and often different provinces that define ongoing rights and obligations on both sides. So whenever you hear, treaties, that's one way of kind of identifying different reserves, different indigenous reserves, according to their agreements with the local government. Anyway, here's Meade's scouting report on the Brooks Barrelman. Speaker 14
From the heart of Calming Country Canada, for these guys, it's hockey all winter, rodeo all summer. They're tie down ropers, steer wrestlers, and, of course, bowling bronco riders. Speaker 9
You've gotta be certifiable for that sport. Speaker 15
Stupid tough. Speaker 14
According to the scouting report, they kinda are. Tough? Stupid. How stupid? Time will tell. If we're talking notable players, we're talking the Freezing Twins, AKA the Freezer Twins. Speaker 15
Why Freezer? Because they're built like large appliances. Speaker 14
These guys played Team Canada rugby for four years, So needless to say, they like to hit. Speaker 12
Keep your Speaker 14
head up around these guys or you know what'll happen. Speaker 0
Before I move on, there was a question here about, what Turtle Island is. And I'm sorry. I I probably should have mentioned this too. So Turtle Island is what many indigenous, groups call North America, like all of North America, not just Canada and the US, because they don't see the divisions like we do. They don't recognize Canada and US. They recognize where they're from, and that's Turtle Island, which is all of North America. And because of some, it apparently resembles a turtle somehow on, on the map. But, yeah, Turtle Island is all of North America. Cut back to Shorzy's apartment. The walking contest continues. It's Dolo's turn, who, if you remember, played on a broken foot. Dolo walks very gingerly and holds his breath and grimaces the entire time. Who's looking four to six now? Shorzey wonders. Hitch agrees. Goody thinks Dolo is more four to six than Shorzey. Dolo argues he didn't really warm up. Hitch complains they still don't really know who the who's the four to sixtieth. Back in Nat's office, next up on the scouting report is Speaker 15
Representing Eastern Canada from Prince Edward Island, the Charlottetown reds. PEI, Mi'kmaq territory. Not unlike folks from Newfoundland, Prince Edward Islanders have some unique speech. Example? Ever seen the Prince Edward Island encyclopedia on YouTube? Speaker 8
What's going on? Speaker 11
I'll fucking fly in a young buck. I'm gonna come to your house to slam your fucking cupboard. Speaker 8
It's always kit bag there, big nuts. Speaker 11
I'll beat you like you're on Speaker 10
a fishing trip with your father. Speaker 7
Easy there, George Clooney. Speaker 8
Where'd the cows die? Who the fuck are you? What's been the fuck around here, man? Speaker 15
Noted. Most of these guys are commercial fishermen. Out on the Atlantic for days on end fishing for herring, mackerel, crab, They know hard work. But a handful of them are owners, operators of what many call the best seafood shack on Prince Edward Island, serving up fresh shucked oysters, seafood chowder, and those signature lobster rolls. I'm hungry. Speaker 9
So who are we watching for? Speaker 15
These guys play as a unit. No one man shows. Beware, they're pedal to the rug for a full sixty. Hard fucking workers. But a standout in another sense would be the gorgeous Gord Gallant. This guy makes panty soup. Ew. He soaks Uggs. Speaker 0
Production note here. The Prince Edward Island Encyclopedia is a YouTube series by, an account called Chicken Turtle Horse. So check that out if you want more of those kinds of videos. They're they're pretty amusing. Nat asks Zig if she's oh, because of the whole, panty soup line, Nat asks Zig if she's entering a dink phase. She neither confirms nor denies it. Meegaster, Owen, was last time she dated a hockey player. Zeke reminds her, you don't date sluts. You just take them down. Aside from all of that, the word on this team is that they're just really nice. Back to Shores' apartment. Sanguinet rejoins the sluts in time for the end of their walking competition. Next up is Goody, who, if you recall, has his arm in a holster. But nothing seems to be wrong with his legs. He doesn't hesitate to strut his stuff, and this and this discourages the others. They didn't think he'd be that good at walking. Hitch ain't never seen anybody walk so good as that. Shoresley congratulates Goody on his impressive walking. He is the least four to six Speaker 8
No. No. No. Speaker 7
With his busted arm. Speaker 13
Runner ups again. Runners up. Yep. Speaker 8
Lost the no show cup. Now we lost a knock in competition. May as well be eating solo paninis. Why? We're fucking losers. Speaker 3
Never seen Speaker 6
a team with so many injuries as despised by Lord Jesus. Speaker 8
I think anyone's gonna see the Bulldogs and say, uh-oh. No fucking way. Speaker 0
Sanguinet has had enough listening to this, and he gets up and storms out again. Scene six cut to an episode of Question Will Call. Bro Dude energy drink has been granted exclusive broadcast rights to the national senior hockey tournament. They continue the breakdown of the competing teams starting with a Knicks hometown hometown province representing La Belle Provence, Les Rapides de Rodon. Speaker 12
Representing Quebec at this year's tournament is Le Hapid de Rodon. Quebec is home to the toughest league in hockey, and make no mistake, Lehabid Speaker 10
are the toughest. Speaker 12
Pierre Leblanc, Danik Paquette, and Steve Busling. Speaker 5
LeBlanc fought the toughest guys in the show when goons were still in the game. Speaker 7
Paquette's face looks like it was carved out of wood. If you think you recognize Bossa from the YouTube knockout videos, you probably recognize him from the UFC as well. Speaker 8
He's twelve two and o. Speaker 12
Someone else fans may recognize is the team owner of Quebec pop icon, Marime. The multi platinum artist and Kev Darling is also a hockey fan. One of the things worth mentioning to fans, she was once engaged to JJ Frankie JJ. Speaker 0
Production note. Marie May is a Canadian singer, producer, and actress from Montreal. So she is, you know, that is her real name, and she is a singer. As far as I can tell, she does not own a hockey team and has probably never been engaged to JJ Franke. JJ. Now round to round out the tournament scouting report, we have one final team. Speaker 12
Representing Southern Ontario coming from the city with the most Italian Canadians per capita in the country, Levan Canadesi. Speaker 8
Can only imagine there are a few Italians on the team, Anik. Speaker 12
Actually, Jay, every single one. Ferrari, Ferrera, Ferraro, Barbieri, Barberio, Barbera, Tippeninditi, Diodato, D'Alminico. You get the idea. These guys play the game hard, fast, and emotional. So who are we looking for, Nick? Number ninety eight, Marco Silvestri. Speaker 7
Sly Silvestri? Speaker 12
But you know him? Speaker 8
He used to be Speaker 7
in Boston system for a while. And? He could pick the prosciut out of your teeth with a stick. Speaker 8
More of a pancetta guy. Speaker 9
So he loves the lumber. Speaker 3
Oh, Oh, Speaker 12
he'll be the dirtiest player Speaker 5
in the tournament. Good matchup for Shorezy? Speaker 12
I'm hearing Shorezy's hurt. Speaker 8
A man doesn't like to be outdone, but does anyone really care? Speaker 12
We'll find out soon as the best teams in Canada, they send on Sudbury today. Speaker 0
Next scene, scene seven, cut to Shorzi at work reffing. Liam and Corey are give giving him the gears about the upcoming tournament and how hurt they are. Speaker 8
Oh, you're fucking hilarious, Liam. Things get rough. Just throwing your Band Aids at them. You too, Corey. You're so fucking funny. Squirting with some polysporin. Like, the funniest guy who ever lived. Speaker 6
Why aren't you laughing? Speaker 8
Don't worry, Liam. I don't laugh at your mom's jokes either. And every time she's like, what? I'm funny. I don't laugh at your mom's jokes either, Corin. Every time she's like, be nice to me. Regular season league record only blowed in playoffs. Must sting. Little bit, Cor. Any regrets? My only regret is not serving my country. Oh, yeah? Yeah. And I think about it every time I go to war on your mom's ass. Speaker 0
I love that line. Scene eight, cut to the montage of teams arriving in Sudbury for the tournament. Next scene, cut to the townhouse. Bulldog's management are sitting at a table having drinks. Sanguinet sits alone at another table waiting for his captains. The slots finally arrive with nothing but complaints about the cold and their injuries. Sanguinet puts an end to all the complaining. He tells them they've lost their identity as hockey players. Hitch starts making excuses again, but Sanguinet cuts him off. Speaker 13
Hockey players don't make excuses. You play for the logo on the front, not the name on the back. You play for your city and for your teammates. You win for them. No excuses. Speaker 0
Check-in with Steve. Speaker 6
You could barely walk. I could barely lift my arm. Speaker 13
Never let them know you're hurt. You're the leaders of this team and look at you. One's in a sling, one's limping around. You're crying about being cold. I want your balls to tug. You're hockey players. Never let them know you're hurt. Drozzy, you're the captain of this team. Why do we lose to the Yanks? Speaker 7
No excuses. Speaker 13
You hurt? Speaker 8
Go till you can't go no more. Speaker 13
And why are you all like, Speaker 8
we didn't earn it. Speaker 13
Doesn't matter how you get to the dance. You just gotta get there. Speaker 8
Yeah. And then what, sanguineette? Speaker 13
Then Find that fuck you attitude. You went down to the Yanks, took them seven games, but you lost. You're right. Maybe you shouldn't be here, but you can't look at the rear view and the road at the same time. You're the best team in the history of the no show. You're record holders. Twenty four wins, zero losses. A perfect season. So you've got two options. You can sit around and cry about losing to the Yanks in the playoffs, or find that fuck you attitude and beat them on the national stage. Jersey, think you can find it? Speaker 0
Justin, in walks Palmer, Delaney and Schnur from the Sioux hunt. They sit at a table across the bar, but yell trips at the sluts. They're they're sitting in the runner ups section. At first, there's no return from the sluts. Nat, Meag, Zeig look on as the the scene unfolds, then Shorzy finally says something. Speaker 8
It's runners up, not runner ups, dumb fucking cunts. Speaker 13
Call it what you want, bud. You're tossings. You're fucking extras. Speaker 8
Ton of hockey left, boys. Ton of hockey left. Fuck you. Fuck you. Speaker 13
Found it. Speaker 8
Shut the fuck up, Delaney, you fucking coke head. Speaker 7
What are you gonna do? Speaker 8
You've done too many speedballs, bud. Speaker 6
Piece of shit. Speaker 13
Fuck you, man. Speaker 9
What's that you were saying Speaker 5
about respect again, me? Speaker 14
Sometimes you have to demand it. Speaker 11
What are Speaker 7
you gonna do? You're in a sling, goodie. Come here and find no. Speaker 8
What are you gonna do? That's what Speaker 3
you're gonna do. Speaker 8
You're not gonna fucking do anything. Speaker 15
Won't see much fighting in this tournament, Nada? Speaker 8
Let's fucking see it. Speaker 3
And we Speaker 15
have a chance of winning this thing. Yeah. Speaker 9
They look ready to move. Speaker 8
Let's talk. Let's go. Speaker 3
Come on. Speaker 11
What do you got? Speaker 8
You gonna do something? Yeah. Speaker 14
I'm dog's cocky, baby. Speaker 0
Gord, gorgeous Gord Gallant from the Charlottetown, and one of his teammates witnesses the melee. He takes one look at the sluts and says, uh-huh. The argument, Alright. That is the episode. Alright. That is the episode. Now if you guys remember how this goes, Tanya doesn't, which is great because she's first in line here. Speaker 5
Yeah. Why am I first? Speaker 7
You just started. That was by design. Speaker 0
So, talk about this episode. Don't give any ratings yet. Just what you thought of it, initially. Go. Speaker 5
Me? Yeah. So the episode, it was the first of, Speaker 3
the first Speaker 0
Oh, it's gonna be one of those. You sound like me doing a book report in high school. Where the Red Fern Grows is about a red fern and it and where it grows. Speaker 11
She's double spaced in the ring. Speaker 5
Yeah. No. It was good. It was, I had some, Letter Kenny feels Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 5
While I was watching it, which was fun. I I liked, the the pace that it was taking. It was it was it was good. I there's nothing that was, that really made me fall off my seat. I don't know whether I was in the mood for falling off my seat or not, but, it was it was a it was a good episode. I I particularly liked, the, drink reference that, they came back to, I believe, two, three times of, you know, how drunk are Speaker 8
are they? Speaker 0
The party. Yeah. Speaker 5
Is the or the do the guys need to get? Mhmm. Speaker 3
I Speaker 5
was a little disappointed that, when Nat and and, smear? Snear? Speaker 2
Snear. Snear? Speaker 5
When Smear. Smear. That would not be a good boyfriend name. I was a little disappointed that when they were in the bar together, there there was no, like, glance or, like, you know, the little Speaker 0
you know, sweats. You just take them down. Speaker 5
I know. But there was, like, no hot passion kinda glance. Like, I'm Speaker 11
There was. The There was. Because when Shmear was the only civilized of the group, that was basically, I think, him paying respect to Nat. Speaker 5
Sure. Speaker 0
I think that was just him being respectful. That's all. Speaker 11
Well, I don't know. I think it was Speaker 5
You know you know that like, when she saw him for the first time and she was, like, you know, weak in the knees and staring off in space, like, I don't need that kind of a reaction. Speaker 0
But I scratch that that itch. Speaker 10
It's I know. Speaker 5
But our reaction Speaker 0
No no longer. Speaker 11
You're you're too much of a Speaker 5
romantic guy. I I might be. I might be. I was thinking about Victor a lot during this episode, thinking, you know, I I don't really see much hockey in this one, and I was wondering if he'd be disappointed in that. There there was a a wee bit when Shorzy was on the ice with the the boys. I, again, love that banter because I always thinking about them, doing lines with their parents or with their moms. Speaker 0
Liam's or no. Speaker 5
Oh. Liam and Corey. Speaker 0
Corey's mom or, like, Bork Bork Cazebon's mom had to say, when I go to war on your mom's ass. I know. Think about that. Just think about that. Speaker 5
I can't watch any of those scenes without thinking of the moms and without thinking. And, like, when even when I was helping, our son, with his, exam, I was thinking, you know, flash flash forward into the future and, you know, if if I need to run lines with him. I'm like, I'm like, this is this is this is the what moms do. Speaker 0
Yeah. You'd be all over that. Owen would be like, mom, you're enjoying this a little bit too much. Speaker 10
Be so much fun. Speaker 11
Soon, Matt is gonna be running lines with his son. Speaker 5
Yeah. Oh. Speaker 0
Better running lines than doing lines. Speaker 5
Sorry. No. It was a it was a good episode. I liked, me doing the review of all the teams. I I liked, I liked the, you know, the walking competition, the six, if they're off four to six Mhmm. The premise, you know, that, they need to stop whining and just get on with it. Mhmm. Speaker 3
You Speaker 5
know, it was good. Speaker 0
Okay. Alright. So in the past, I've always, you know, given the first episode of both the first two seasons of Shorzy kinda lower ratings just because it's kinda you know, it's setting things up. And and especially last season where it's like the whole the stakes last season were, are you gonna be the best team? Are you gonna be the best team ever? And I didn't feel like there was much there. I really like the way this one began because it kind of took that and flipped it on its head. Because, yes, they were the best team ever for the regular season, but they lost in the seventh game to the Sioux in their own rink, and I love that. So now we have some adversity. Now we have something to fight for. I'm loving the stakes in this season so far. Well set up. Bravo. Shout out. Somebody in in the livestream get had a shout out, and I I echo the shout out for the the jersey designs for all of this the the teams in this tournament. Well done to, I think it's Matt and, and Danny, the Alice, the the design team on that on, on that cast because or that crew, for some fire designs. I especially like the Kenna Daisy, the Von kind of Daisy shirts. They were really fun. I love they're setting up some great, you know, season long arcs. You know, what's what about this party that they're always alluding to? What the hell's with the shaved reverse mohawks? And the setup of the turn so you know what? This as for a season one of an of a episode or sorry, an episode one of a season, They they did everything they were supposed to do. I thought the walking competition was a little silly, you know, finding out who who's the four to sixiest. But, okay, whatever. It was funny, especially when when they were so impressed about how well good he walked when there was nothing wrong with his legs. And, yeah, the I mean, the music was fire in this episode too. So, yeah, those are my notes so far. Matt. Speaker 7
Yeah. I I actually agree with most of what you said. I love the setup on this season so far. The interest, a lot of a lot's going on and a lot of things to look forward to. Mhmm. The the shaved head and the no show party, to me, I I I love it. I'm like, already, I'm intrigued. I'm like, what is this? They're giving hints at it. It reminded me a lot of the same bit they did with the calendars in season Speaker 0
two. Speaker 11
Yeah. Speaker 7
Where they kind of, like, hinted at them, kept talking about they do it for several episodes, and then they unveil sort of the shoot. Right? So it's like they took that bit to the next level and introduced a party. It's kind of how I took it. Mhmm. And I'm for it. So I I like what's going going on. Speaker 3
What I love Speaker 0
about the shaved head thing is they don't even acknowledge it. Like, they don't say anything about it. So they're they're just trusting that people will notice and go, what the fuck's going on there? So Speaker 3
Yeah. Speaker 0
I like that. Speaker 5
Yeah. Did they shave head after, though? Like, after that scene, everybody had normal hair again. Speaker 0
No. They've had the shape they had the shaved tattoo up the whole thing. Yeah. Speaker 3
Did they? Speaker 7
Like, they must have had to have kept that under wraps for any posts and stuff and anything that and if any any of them that were on social or in a bad I probably had to keep that pretty quiet. Mhmm. But, anyways, I love that bit, and I'm excited to see where that goes. There were a couple moments that hit really hard from a lab. Like, they just made me laugh ridiculous. The Phillips, that's not Phillips. That's Phillips. Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. Speaker 7
I burst out laughing at that. I'm like, I found that so ridiculous. Yeah. Speaker 0
It just goes further to show that Shores, he only cares about the slots on that team. He doesn't care Speaker 3
about any Speaker 0
of the other players. He doesn't even know their names. Speaker 7
Yeah. That moment hit so hard for me. The the premise preface thing, and the fact that it was, Hitch, the one that was correcting him made it even funnier to me, so that part hit hard. And the Vaughn team. Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 7
Holy fuck. When the what are they? Like, Caladenta or Canadense or whatever? Speaker 0
Canadezi. Yeah. Speaker 7
Canadezi. When they introduced the lineup Mhmm. And panned along all their jerseys, I I literally broke out laughing at like, my wife was like, what do you what the fuck is that? I'm like, I couldn't stop. I thought it was so funny because anyone who knows Ontario, especially GTA Mhmm. When you think of Vaughan, you think of Italians. Like, that is hundred percent accurate. Yeah. I Speaker 0
I worked in in in Woodbridge, which is a suburb of Vaughan for many years. And, yeah, it's basically all Italians there. It's All Italians. It's, it's crazy. Yeah. Speaker 7
And then the namings were so spot on, so that just that just really hit hard for me. One interesting thing I took from this episode was Sanger and Meigs' roles in the episode. To me, they played the same role just on, you know, on their separate sides. They were both sort of the voice of reason, the one saying, like, get your get your shit together. Guys, we need to move on. Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 7
Obviously, me coaching the girls and Sanger coaching the guys. But to me, they played the exact same function in this episode on both sides of that bench, and I really like that contrast there. So that I wanted to call as well. And the last thing, the the p, the printed round encyclopedia one, I like that. And and I I do vaguely remember those guys Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 7
Because I I went and looked them up again. I'm like, yeah. Yeah. They came out. What's interesting, and I wonder if there's a connection in terms of inspiration from that, because their original, YouTube videos came out about a year before the Letterkenny problem stuff. Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 7
Right? And they have a similar sort of tone and approach to the style of Letterkenny and and they and this sort of exaggerated version of the PEI, but, of course, Letterkenny does a small town Ontario. But I wonder if there's any inspiration from that and what, drove that. Speaker 0
Yes. In the livestream, awesome with the fun fact. Jared and Nate, Nathan Dale did a couple of shot, shorts with the PEI dictionary guys. So, yeah, they they do know each other. Yeah. So there we go. Speaker 7
But, yeah, all in all, though, I I I really like the setup on this one. There's a lot to look lot to bite onto and a lot to look forward to. So Speaker 0
Okay. Victor. Speaker 11
Wow. There was a lot in this first episode. Speaker 0
And longer episode too, twenty five minutes, which is normally nineteen minutes. So, yes, bravo. Thank you. Kudos. Speaker 11
It's yeah. It felt like a full thirty minute episode Mhmm. To me. So, Tanya, first of all, don't fret. I mean, the the the stories were all one hundred percent hockey focused, a. So so it was all about hockey. B, there was actually a lot of good hockey footage. When they were introducing the teams, there was a lot of good hockey footage there. And the recap, was done really, really, really well. Speaker 0
Mhmm. They told a lot of story in in that yeah. Speaker 11
They sure did. And then that song, what was the song called? Blue, Speaker 0
Oh, it may come up later. It's called Blues Run the Game by Laura. Speaker 8
Run the Game. Yeah. Speaker 11
Yeah. That's so Joni Mitchell esque, that song. It it was just it was so perfect. It was fan it was just fantastic. I loved it. The the I think the, the the walk the walking competition is one of the one of the things that we love about this these shows is they're so ridiculous. Right? They come up with these I mean, you take that away, and you're taking away, like, the the you know, one of the organs of the whole universe. Right? I mean, that plus, that's what gave us, big sexies. Mhmm. I mean Mhmm. You know, like, you know, take get control of your bird. Mhmm. I mean, he was freaking out every time Sanguinet slammed the door. Yeah. It was fantastic. I I really enjoyed, those scenes because they were just, you know, it it was ridiculous, but ridiculous in a good fun, fun way. The the thing that I wasn't crazy about and and this is, I think, you know, when we start to dissect the the shows and start maybe putting more into it than maybe even the writers Mhmm. Right, Speaker 0
I don't know what you're talking about. Speaker 11
Yeah. Is is so this is a perfect example. Right? So we get we get that, back and forth, the chirping with Shorezy and, and and the boys. Speaker 3
Mhmm. Speaker 11
And if Laura Moore saw that, still, after all this time, and after all the heart to hearts, and him still acting like a little little little child and making fun of their moms, I mean, I don't think she wouldn't have it. She wouldn't be amused by it. Speaker 0
You're talking about with Corey and Liam? Speaker 6
Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 0
Those scenes? Okay. Speaker 11
Yeah. Like, just think about now. Right? We're now she's she's with them. They've they've they've had heart to hearts. They've, you know Speaker 0
And other stuff to other stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 11
Yeah. Exactly. And now and after all that, he's still acting like this. Right? It's just and, again, you know, I'm probably you know, you're not supposed to think about it this way. Mhmm. But I'm just saying, like, okay. And that's also taking us back to the Letterkenny universe where, you know, he was a one dimensional character. Right? So so that's the part, and I get it. They're throwing it in there because they are fans of that. So you wanna just, you know, you wanna cover your bases. But that's the part that I actually I kinda glossed over, and I was waiting for it to be over. Sure. But but the rest of it was just fantastic, and, a really great first episode. Speaker 0
Alright. Now that's our Robbie in terms of how when I said that scene, the walking competition is silly. Robbie says, letter Kenny, Shorzy being silly, clutch my pearls. Have you ever heard of the Palachetis? Yes. I know it's silly. I wasn't it wasn't a negative thing. I was just saying it was silly. Like, the the tone of the the rest of that that episode, other than the Corey and Liam thing, was a a little more serious, although funny, but more serious than than the walking competition. Kat, what did you think of this? Speaker 10
I liked this episode. Mhmm. I think season premiere episodes can sometimes be a little little dry because they have to kinda recap the previous season and then kinda go through some exposition, but I thought they did that really well. Kept it very entertaining. I loved the the locker room scene where Shorzy is wailing and we got us so dumb right off the bat. I love that. And the shaved heads, I was like I wrote that down in my notes. Speaker 0
Did you notice it right away? Speaker 10
Yeah. I noticed it right away. And I was like, wait. There's three of them have shaved heads. What is going on? So that was a fun little mystery. Speaker 0
They all have shaved heads. I didn't even notice that because I thought, well, at least Dolo still got the dreads. But if you look at Dolo, his head shaved around the bottom. Like, he's got the dreads only on top now. Now. So so he committed to that too. So that's, interesting. Speaker 7
Oh, was it? I I looked for that. I did not Speaker 8
see that. Speaker 0
Yeah. Like, he didn't have his shaved down the middle like everyone else, but look at his hairstyle. It's now he's got the the side and back shaved. His dreads are only now coming out from the top. Okay. Speaker 2
Alright. Speaker 10
What else did I write down? I loved, saying when I upsetting big sexy every time he slammed the door. Speaker 0
I Speaker 10
was glad we got some big sexy in this episode. Speaker 0
Absolutely. Speaker 10
We didn't get any Laura Moore or Jorie Jordan, but we got big sexy. So Speaker 0
Well, we can't have it all in in the first episode, but We can't Speaker 8
have it all. Speaker 0
Yeah. Speaker 9
And what else? Speaker 10
The walking competition, the premise versus preface conversation was all great. And I loved the, the closing shot of the episode with that airborne bar stool. I thought it was Speaker 0
really cool. Perfectly cut. Yeah. Speaker 10
Yes. And the music. I've had blues run the game running Speaker 13
through my head, ever since I watched the episode. Were you Speaker 10
familiar with the song or artist before? I wasn't previously. But Speaker 0
Yeah. Very cool. The ski poles joke was Yeah. Speaker 10
Oh my god. I laughed so hard at that. Speaker 0
When when Goody does the motion, like, oh, I get it. That's funny. Speaker 11
I needed that. Yeah. Because one but until I saw it, I didn't get it. Yeah. Speaker 7
Oh, you didn't that you didn't Speaker 8
know that joke? Speaker 5
No. Never. We learned so much on this show, like, docking and ski poles. Speaker 0
Conventable whether anything we learn is useful. But, yes, you do learn so much. Amazing. Alright. Let's going through the urban dictionary. Yeah. Let's move on to ratings. Now I know, hopefully, you guys have noticed there's some been some different sound effects and songs and stuff Speaker 3
Has there? Speaker 0
That that I've used throughout. No? Okay. Yeah. But I'm going to keep the rating the same because this is still the produce stand. And I went through I went through everyone's kind of, you know, suggestions, and none of them really fit. And I think it it's still the produce stand, so I think we can still go with with, fresh clearance and compost. I think it still fits. So we'll stay with our rating system. So I'm gonna start with you, Tanya. What do you give this episode, a fresh clearance or compost? Speaker 5
I'm sorry. My brain has stopped for a moment. Are we still calling it a unicorn, or are we gonna call it a goal? Speaker 11
You're making it more complicated. Speaker 0
I can't assign a unit. Okay. Yeah. You can't assign a unit. Just give me your rating, fresh, clearance, or compost, then I'll tell you whether we have a unicorn. Speaker 7
Then you'd give it a you didn't you give an episode of unicorn Speaker 3
last season? Speaker 14
I did. Speaker 7
You forced Al to push the button? Speaker 5
Well, sorry. So I will Speaker 16
give this for this. Speaker 0
That is okay. Speaker 5
I will give this, but I'm watching Victor. You can Speaker 7
do it. Speaker 5
I will give this Speaker 7
clearance. Are you trying to read out? Speaker 5
No. I'm trying to remember what's in the middle. Clearance. Speaker 0
A clearance? Speaker 5
Yeah. Alright. Yeah. Speaker 0
Okay. Any reason? You just, Speaker 5
I I I think it's my mood, but I I I feel like it it just didn't it just didn't hit all the buttons for me. Speaker 0
Okay. Alright. This one here Speaker 3
that's fine. Speaker 0
My rating. Victor. My rating. Oh, blue spatula from Victor. Wow. Speaker 11
Not for the rating, for her reasoning. Speaker 0
Oh, okay. Matt, I I completely agree with you. Meek and Sanguinek were kind of the same side of the whatever. The the two sides of the same whatever. You know what I'm saying? Speaker 7
Yeah. They were they Speaker 0
were doing the same thing. She was doing it for the management. He was doing it for the team. I feel like saying when that, like, grew a set big time at the end of last season and is just continuing to grow and calling the the sluts out this one here for being whiny bitches is is perfect. And Meague, she's not so much calling out Nat and and Zeke. She's trying to keep them, give them perspective. Listen. Yeah. I know this sucks, but we gotta move on, get ready for the tournament. Yeah. It feels like we don't deserve to be here, but we do deserve to be here, and now let's get ready for the fucking tournament. So she's all business. So I'm loving it. Speaker 11
But that's nothing new for her. Like, she like, her and me are like the two devils on your shoulders. Right? And she's the good one. Speaker 0
For sure. Speaker 11
She and Zig's the bad one. Right? Speaker 0
I I just yeah. Do it. And I I'm I'm enjoying that kind of progression. And even Zeig in this one, I really enjoyed Zeig in this one. So you know what? I'm I'm actually giving this one a fresh. I thought it was a a solid, solid episode, probably the best episode one of of Shorzy so far. Speaker 7
Matt. Yeah. I agree. It's afresh. Is it the highest fresh ever? No. But Mhmm. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great kickoff. Speaker 8
A lot of what Speaker 7
I've already talked about. The the pacing, I really enjoyed in this one too. So what I think and I'll go what I'll use as an example is the, the family reunion scene back in season one where a lot of people felt that was a really long drawn out scene, and there and there was some issue with that. To me, the, the walking scene, this one, was similar to that, but what they did well here and and and actually made Speaker 11
They had good pace. Speaker 7
They well, they Speaker 0
Oh. Walking Dead Dead. Speaker 7
I see what you did there. Speaker 0
There we go. Speaker 7
But but they split they split it up. So they took two scenes, and they cut them very nicely. So you didn't get bored of one. You you didn't they didn't hang with one long enough. They just kinda Yeah. Speaker 0
They jumped back and forth between them and Speaker 7
The team intros and Speaker 0
the management. Speaker 7
I really I really enjoyed how they they paced this one out. It kept me engaged. They introduced a lot. There's some character development. It gave me everything I want in a in a episode one of a new season. So that's an easy fresh. Speaker 0
Okay. Victor. Speaker 11
I don't think we even mentioned the bro dude scene. Speaker 0
Right. Yeah. Well, because it it it served the purpose of just kind of continuing the scouting report. Right? And and mentioning that Bro Dude is now an official. So we'll see what what comes of that. But, yeah, they're gonna be And Speaker 11
they were kinda making fun of the tournament too, like, saying, you know Well, Speaker 0
r a. Yeah. R a kept on, like, but does anyone really care? Yeah. He's Yeah. Exactly. He's very negative on the tournament. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 7
It's weird that Did you see RA getting some heat at the, after the cup? Speaker 0
No. He got heat? Speaker 7
He posed. The bar still posted one. And I don't know if it was a gag or what, but he was going around trying to congratulate Panthers on their win, and they're all, like, shunning them. Like, tell them to fuck off and What? Said Shumawix. I guess he's been all pro pro Oilers the whole series. Speaker 11
We're not talking about this episode, Tanya. Just Speaker 7
No. Oh, yeah. This is this is real sports stuff. Speaker 0
Yeah. Matt's talking real sports here. Speaker 7
I thought. Anyways Speaker 0
So, Victor. Yeah. What do you Speaker 11
So, I mean, you know, the stakes in this episode are very, very interesting. Mhmm. Right? So they got rid of the nonsense, and now it's like, how are they even gonna win? They're all injured. Yeah. So you know what I mean? Like, they're a bunch like, it's not just a mindset thing. You guys are injured. Yeah. Like, their their their turtles are injured. And and and, so how's it gonna happen? So I I mean, this episode this episode really set the scene. They did a good job, summarizing summing everything up, and and, again, setting the scene for the season. It's an easy fresh. Speaker 0
So I Speaker 7
might even say set the tone for the season. Speaker 11
Mhmm. That's no. Speaker 0
Alright. Easy fresh. Kat, what do you give this one? Speaker 10
I'd give this one a fresh. Speaker 0
Okay. Speaker 10
I I agree with Matt. Not like the highest fresh ever, but, like, a solid middle of the road fresh. Speaker 7
Enjoyed it. Speaker 10
Really well done. I thought it was real especially for a season opener. Speaker 8
Mhmm. Speaker 11
I Speaker 10
thought it was great. It was funny. There was a lot of information, but they they they did it well. So it was easy to pick up on, and, I just thought it was really well done. Speaker 0
Okay. Perfect. So we have four freshes, one clearance. Gamesticks, this is you know, used to be MVP. Now we're we're calling this the Gamestick. Who do you give the Game Stick to, Tanya? Speaker 5
Segway Nutt. Oh. Hands down. Speaker 0
Okay. Speaker 5
He was the one that, pulled the team together and got them to put their heads on straight and, made it happen Mhmm. Speaker 0
For sure. Yeah. I mean, I love how he was getting so annoyed every time the sluts devolved into, basically, the the negative self talk. We're all a bunch of losers and also all this the the the, the excuses they were giving. Oh, we're never seeing a team so hurt as us and this, this, and that. I agree. Sanguine, in this one here, I think, is the is gets the the game stick. I think he was definitely the stronger of all the the, characters. Matt? Speaker 7
Let's continue the trend because I agree. And it's, it's Sanger for sure. The honorable mention is Amig, of course, playing the counterpart, but Sanger was stronger. And then if I had to do a third little honorable mention, I give it to the stool at the end because I like to imagine that that that nailed Palmer, and, that made me made me a it was a happy little thought. Speaker 0
Alright. Okay. That's good. Yeah. If you're if I were to do the top three, I'd I'd agree. Meeg is definitely second runner-up. And and Zeig, I really enjoyed Zeig in this one here. So third runner-up. Victor. Speaker 11
Well, since Tanya ruined it, we're gonna have to, reward our unicorn a different way. So, we have to give it to Sanguinet. Mhmm. Easily. That speech he gave at the end, was the the key difference between him and Megh. Right? That's that's the you know, he actually rallied the troops, and and he made them, you know, get their heads out of their asses and and actually stand up for themselves in the final scene. Speaker 3
Wow. Speaker 0
Okay. And Victor's even rash. That's the Speaker 7
first rational MVP game stick I think Victor's ever given. Speaker 0
Matt, you gave it to a stool you gave a runner-up to a stool. We have rebranded. Speaker 11
I I that was I have to do that only because of Tanya. Speaker 0
Mhmm. Alright. Yeah. He's holding up this the Unicorn. I will not be playing the Unicorn sound clip because that's for ratings. But, Gatt, who's your who who do you give your stick to? Speaker 10
I will also give it to Sanguinet, for all the reasons everybody has already stated. Mhmm. But if I was going to give a runner-up, I think it would have to be for Goody just for miming the steep holes that made me just about fall off the couch laughing. Nice. Nice. Speaker 0
Goody had some great lines, like some very understated lines throughout this one as well. But, Speaker 7
he always does. Speaker 10
For, like, the first season, he his lines were mostly like chicken is unbelievable, and now Speaker 3
he's got Speaker 0
I I feel like a really underrated line from this episode is when somebody well, I forget who it was, said Goody's got his arm in a sling and said, it's not a sling. It's a holster. Like, that's that's that's awesome. That's gold. Speaker 7
Holding the guns. Speaker 0
Yeah. Amazing. Alright. So that's those are our first ratings. And, I gotta say, it's been it's it's fun to be doing these again. Now, I am going to do a a new set well, we we've already talked heard this segment and one that I introduced a couple of weeks ago. So here we go with the new segment. Speaker 8
Questionable call. Speaker 0
And the questionable calls, I got four of them for us this week. Oh, wow. Yeah. So I I put it put the word out to the d gens and the discord, and they they came rolling in. So for those of you listening, if you wanna participate, if you wanna if you don't like if you don't agree with our calls on one of our reviews or you just wanna say say something, you know, clear your your chest on something, go to Instagram. Follow us on Instagram at protostampod, and then send us a DM. You can send a voice DM, and I will play it on our, episode. As long as it's not hateful and and and wrong, we will play it. But, here we go. We have some, four questionable calls for this week. We'll start with this one here from Mike from New Jersey. Speaker 6
I've got a questionable call I would like to bring up to the produce stand. I'm sitting here on a beautiful midweek summer night in New Jersey thinking about a cold winter's night back in Letterkenny when the episode The Sleepover took place. Now I know we all love the sleepover. So what is questionable about this is Victor's contempt for such a beautifully shot, beautifully acted, and simply beautiful episode. That's all. See you. Speaker 0
So I wonder if Mike planned this to have the train The Speaker 5
train. Speaker 0
In the background to get to get, Victor to change his call on the sleep Speaker 5
Victor's attention. Speaker 0
Sleepover. He's holding up his, New Jersey miniature Stanley Cup. Speaker 7
You're never gonna live that one down, Victor. Speaker 0
Do you have anything anything to say to Mike in your defense? Speaker 11
Yes. New Jersey has three town Stanley Cups, and New York has one Stanley Cup since I've been alive. So there we go. So he Mike lives in New Jersey, but he's a Rangers fan. Speaker 0
Okay. Alright. Speaker 11
So that's that's what I gotta say about that. Speaker 0
He lives next to a train station, apparently, though. Did you hear the train in the background? Speaker 11
I I did. I did. Speaker 0
Alright. Here's another one. It may also be, for Victor. Here we go. Speaker 6
I have a questionable call for you guys, and this is one that was not on the podcast, but it was when Victor came over to London for a business trip, and, his question will call is that the chips were not triple cooked. And that was questionable. Peace. Have fun. Speaker 0
That was our buddy, Trollinger, who's in the UK. And, Victor, you you visited him, during your last trip there. Speaker 8
I did. Speaker 0
What's this about? Speaker 11
Most ridiculous people in the world. Uh-huh. They they literally say they triple cooked their chip. There's no way. I said, let me into the kitchen and show me how your chef triple cooks your fucking chips. There's no way that's happening. Speaker 0
Victor's gonna start an international incident over chips. Speaker 7
Ain't no kitchen got time for that. Speaker 0
Alright. Here's our buddy, Jeff from Maine, with a questionable call. Speaker 4
Hey, guys. Your buddy, Jeff, here from Maine. Just wanna say great job by Tobias last week for kicking out some awesome jams. Nice little eclectic mix. I gotta throw up a blue spatula to Victor, though. What is the deal with you and grunge music? Grunge was something that I think I think a lot of people, especially teens in the nineties, really needed. It was a good little transition from the kinda hair metal glamour years to something a little bit grimier and a little bit more, I wanna say, realistic. Just just some awesome memories of grunge music and its its its origins. Why do you hate it so much, man? Why do you hate it? Peace and love, Speaker 0
guys. Oh, and happy birthday, man. Speaker 11
Lazy. Oh, thank you. It made musicians lazy. That's that that was my problem with it. It you know, you used to really practice, sit there for hours trying to practice your craft, learning how to play the songs, and then came along Nirvana, and they ruined it all. And and and it took a while, but we're back, baby. Just go and listen to Extreme's new album. Speaker 0
Alright. I we we may have to rebrand Question McCall to, take a shot at Victor. But, anyway We Speaker 7
have a unicorn on Victor here for Speaker 0
the fourth one? Well, we'll see about the the fourth one. Well, yeah, let's listen to the fourth one. Here we go. Speaker 17
Alright. Minnesota Scott here. I finished up season three last night, and I was once again absolutely floored by the work this team is able to do. Shorzy is an idea that turned from like a YouTube chirp machine to this incredibly developed finely layered character whose passion and ruthlessness and honor instantly makes me think of Ian McShane's portrayal of Al Swearengen in Deadwood. As someone who's worked on stage, screen, or stream since two thousand eight, this production feels like everything I'd want to be a part of. Small town stories, but so substantial. Silly and crude, but so emotionally powerful. A close knit family with a strong no assholes clause in the contract which I'd never make it past. But my god, to just coil XLR cables or sort gels on set for a day. It sounds like a theme vacation, and I'm gonna call a travel agent. Speaker 0
That's Scott from Minnesota. His Good. His coiling, cords for a day for, Letterkenny is kind of the equivalent of Shorzy saying he'd, what is it, empty, Loramore's dishwasher. I think he just loves them so much. He wants to to to do menial tasks for them. But, you can tell Scott has a background in radio, and and he's got the voice for it and certainly the microphone for it. But thank you, Scott, for your comment. As you can hear, questionable calls can be about anything. It could be about Victor. It could be about any one of our special questionable calls, or it could just be about Letterkenny and or Shorzy in general. But keep them coming in. Again, at pro to sand pod on Instagram, and send us a voice DM, and we will play it. So thank you, everyone, and thank you. Oh, we have I have one little piece of Shorzy news. They just, announced today the two Shorzy Classic hockey games in Toronto and Boston sold out. They are completely sold out. So I'd like to take a little bit of, you know, credit for, you know, the amazing radio ad we produce for that and then proceeded to run at the beginning of all of our shows. But, anyway, that's great. And, hopefully, what that means that there is there's, there's demand for this, and maybe they'll do other games in other cities, you know, in in North America. So that would be great. Speaker 7
That's fantastic. Speaker 0
Yeah. Amazing to all those who bought tickets and are supporting this, and we can't wait to go to to our our game in Toronto in November. So thank you. And that's all I have for today. I'm gonna go around the horn with final comments, and I'm gonna start at at the top again. Tanya. Speaker 5
Kat, thank you so much for coming out tonight. It was a pleasure meeting you. I loved listening to you. Victor, happy, happy birthday. Just in case Matt forgets again, I'll say it again. Happy birthday, bud. I hope you had a fantastic time, and have a great long weekend. This was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to watching Shorzy again and, getting into the routine of this, once a week. And, yeah, let's see how it goes. Speaker 0
Yes. Kat Speaker 5
And I'm sorry. My apologies. I I think slow. I also wanted to say good job to Tate and Webb, for the intro. Thank you so much for that. That was absolutely perfection. I I loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Mhmm. Speaker 0
So Yes. It's well written. Thank you, Kat, for joining us. It was great to meet you finally. And and, I hope your first time on the podcast was fun, and I hope it's not your last time. I hope you join us for egg hauls and and and another episode in the future. Yes, Tate and Webb, great job on the cold open today. Hope you guys enjoyed the the new kind of production. This is what we're gonna go roll with moving forward. I'm sure there'll be, you know, changes and modifications as we go, but, I hope you enjoyed it. And, yes, keep them keep those questionable questionable calls. I'm having a trouble trouble speaking today, coming in, and we will, play them. Speaker 7
Matt. We are back, baby. Season three. Love it. This was so much fun. Happy birthday, Victor. Speaker 0
Yeah. I won't forget. Speaker 8
Oh, I Speaker 0
forgot. Happy birthday, Victor. Speaker 7
It's my turn. Yeah. So I fucking I love our review episodes. These are always some of my favorite things to do, so I'm so excited that we're back. Kat, such an absolute pleasure. I was so excited to meet you tonight, and you did not disappoint. Welcome to the family. And I can't wait to see whatever other tattoos you get. Your follow on Instagram has been such a blast. You're just an absolute delight. Thanks for coming out. Speaker 11
Victor. Yes. So first, Tate and Webb, couple of beauties, just incredible. Al, you only had one job, but you did it well, with with, the new branding and whatnot. So, good on you. Though I feel like that's gonna be a really long opening if we play that every episode. Speaker 0
No. The the the Tate and Webb thing won't be every episode. Speaker 7
Yes. So Do I have to learn how to read haikus now? Speaker 0
Yes. You need to learn how to emphasize the five seven five. The Tate and Webb are also rebranding to d TW five seven five is what their new brand is. Speaker 11
Oh, okay. Speaker 7
Well, I'll Speaker 11
dissect that. And, Kat, you were delightful. Just it was such a pleasure. And, the the pros and cons of doing an episode like this, it's mostly focused on kind of going through the episode. And so we didn't really get a chance to really get in and to learn more about your tattoos and whatnot. But I'm definitely gonna follow you on, Instagram because I'm not big on the socials, as as the community knows, but I'll definitely do that. And, just before COVID, I was actually out up, in Austin on a business trip. And, it was really nice, except for the scooters that were literally everywhere, including in the con like, the the the water and stuff like that. I don't know what the hell is going on with you guys, but, you know, treat your scooters with a little more respect is all I'm saying. But the barbecue was incredible. Anyway, would love for you to, join, future shows and definitely come out to all of the egg calls. Speaker 0
Alright. And Kat? Speaker 10
My goodness. So this has been so much fun. Thanks for having me on. I'm honored to have been the first person to get the new little intro clip. That was really cool. And I got to see the blue spatula and I got to see the unicorn. It's been amazing. I I hope I will be on again. This has been great, and it was nice meeting all of you. And, Tanya, I hope your foot gets better. Speaker 7

incognito mode. Speaker 0

Well done. I also wanna wish all our Canadian listeners a happy Canada Day. That's this weekend. And next, week, our, friends to the south a happy July fourth. I'm gonna play us off now here with the song from today's episode, Blues Run the Game by Laura Marling. Speaker 16
Gotcha back to England, baby. Maybe to Spain. Wherever I've gone, wherever I've been and gone. Wherever I have gone, I've moved. Run the game. That's Speaker 0
That's all we have for this episode. Next week, we recap and review episode two of Shorz e three, Charlottetown Reds with our buddy, PJ. Production note on that one because, next Thursday is July fourth. We're going to push our episode to the Friday, July fifth. I hope that doesn't, cause any issues. But, or else our American friends probably won't join us because they'll be too busy watching fireworks. So that'll be next Friday. If you'd like to support the podcast, become a patron or tell a friend. Also, follow us on small social media. Let's at prodosampod. Thank you for joining us.
