If you're if you're just joining us, if this is the first time you're listening to the Produce Stand podcast, press pause, go back, and listen to part one, which was last week's episode. This is my tribute, my love letter to Jared Keeso. This is the evolution of Shorzy in Letterkenny. And we made a compelling argument last week for I don't know what we made a compelling argument for. That Shorzy is the same but different? I don't what do you think?

Speaker 5

Jared's always had a plan.

Speaker 4

Well, definitely. Yeah. Definitely that.

Speaker 6

So Shorsey Shorsey was a tad more well defined than we gave him credit for when he got his own spin off.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Mhmm. Mhmm. Mhmm. Mhmm. Yeah. I think that's that's true. I can't believe I, like, actually forgot the points that we made. Let's do a quick how was your week. I'll go first, then Erin, then Trace, then awesome. I don't remember what we did last week, which should be, like, a key indicator of how my week has been. It's pretty busy, actually. Yeah. Well and today was a a real, like, test for me. I had a all day, meeting. It was it was great, but it was exhausting. Right? Like, when you're just going all day, you break for lunch, and then you go all day again. And then I did comedy because I have a local show on the twenty third, so I needed to practice and do my set. So I was there at six thirty, then I left there at eight forty five to come here. And so I'm just like, I I take no responsibility for anything I screw up tonight. That's how my my week has been. Erin, how's your week been?

Speaker 1

It's been crazy. I saw, Comedy Bang Bang. The podcast came to town. I saw a great amazing improv show. It was the best thing ever leaving. It was, like, the biggest high. I'm excited for next week because I've got two different lake houses that I'm going to to kind of like chill before the start of the school year. And, awesome, I have been saving this for the pod. I finally got onto Reddit. Like, finally, and I'm obsessed. I'm I'm addicted. I had a post that, like, went over a hundred, up whatever the hell they're called. Lakes? I don't know what they're called. But, Upvotes. Upvotes. I I got the up part. And I'm I'm, like, I'm living on that high right now. I I love all of it. So, yeah, good week.

Speaker 5

Alright. Well, you're gonna have to share your handle with me offline.

Speaker 1

Yes. Offline.

Speaker 4

Yeah. That's right.

Speaker 1

I like I like the anonymity here. Like, it's just it's so nice to just be It is lovely, isn't it?

Speaker 6

Anonymous. She did it right this time. No names. No pictures.

Speaker 4

No nothing.

Speaker 6

We pulled in awesome.

Speaker 5

Yes. I did. No one knows

Speaker 4

who I am. That's brilliant. How does it feel? What's it like?

Speaker 1

It it feels very freeing. It feels super good, and I should have done this a long time ago.

Speaker 4

Brilliant.

Speaker 5

Anonymity is nice.

Speaker 1

Oh, it's a beautiful thing. I know.

Speaker 6

Casey Casey tried, but then she just said the hell with it.

Speaker 7

I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 6

Yeah. I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 4

I want everybody to know who I am. Come come come for me. Come. That's not what I meant, but okay. Trace, how are you now?

Speaker 6

Yes. I am I am lovely. I am lovely. My week has been, pretty uneventful. Yeah. And I've just basically I tried to come up with a skit for the today, and I I just, I mean, we're coming on a a two second part of a two parter, and I just figured that would just throw off the thing. And it's, Casey says we got a ton of clips today, so we better get to that.

Speaker 4

It's it's the truth.

Speaker 1

Love it.

Speaker 4

Awesome. How are you now?

Speaker 6

Good. And you? Good. And you.

Speaker 4

You first. Stop talking. No. You're my Mick she's my McMurray.

Speaker 6

Oh, yeah. Definitely.

Speaker 5

Oh, god. This week, fuck. My sleep schedule has been fucked. It's been thirty five or over every fucking day for this last week. I am melting. I have no brains left. I slept in the bathtub last night because my bed was too fucking hot.

Speaker 4

Yikes. Is

Speaker 5

tell me now. Please, somebody I'm gonna go lay in the road. Just run over me. Alright?

Speaker 6

You could lay in the bathroom or you could drown you.

Speaker 5

Yeah. That's true. Throw ice on top of my corpse. I'll thank you from hell.

Speaker 1

You need a nice dose of Shorzy.

Speaker 6

How about now?

Speaker 5

I need a nice dose of something. Have important And if he'll hit it from the back, I'll take it.

Speaker 6

Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4

Okay. Hey. That's, right.

Speaker 0

Get yourself fucking going. Damn. That's good on the go, boys. There.

Speaker 4

Okay. Yeah. There it is. So last week, we did part one. This week, we're part two in it. And I I'm just gonna tell you guys, we we've got a lot of ground that we're gonna be covering here in part two. It's only eight, nine, and ten, and there's only one real real solid clip from season nine. So we're gonna be watching a lot of hockey. And then and then this is the the week in which I propose that we are screen testing Shorzy, throughout these seasons. So let's just get right into it. I'm going to share reshare the screen. Yes. Make sure we share sound because this is part of the deal. Alrighty. And so we are starting here in, season eight. Oh, wait. Where am I? Yeah. Season eight episode one, Misfire, and we are in it with Jaeyoung Ray and this other dude from TSN, Dan, whose name last name escapes me. Doesn't matter. Yeah, he nobody cares.

Speaker 8

We'll now take you live to the event where our very own Kate Furness and Tessa Bonham are covering the tournament for TSN. Kate and Tessa.

Speaker 4

Thanks very much, Jay. We've got two here. Where's the third?

Speaker 0

Yeah. I wouldn't worry about him, Kate.

Speaker 9

It's probably stretchy.

Speaker 0

Fuck you, Jonesy. What's that? Don't get

Speaker 10

that. Oh, boys. You're a perfect two and o throughout the tournament so far. I've been defeated none of it in Northwest territories. Northwest Terrible. Your line is combined for nine goals, allowing none, making you combine plus twenty five. What's been your focus through these two statement games?

Speaker 0

Yeah. Tessa, the, number one rule of play of hockey is don't get too high, don't get too low. You're making a fool of yourself, you fucking labradoodle.

Speaker 9

Yeah. It's a team game out there. We just, jumped on a train that was already rolling down the tracks, and we're just happy to be here and contribute and keep the momentum going.

Speaker 0

Jodie, you are such a fucking puggle.

Speaker 4

Well, good luck tonight against, British Columbia, boys. Back to you, Jane Dan.

Speaker 0

Where's Bobby Margaritas?

Speaker 8

Also making headlines to the tournament is retired NHLer Jean Jacques, Francois Jacques Jean, known by teammates as JJ, Frankie JJ.

Speaker 4

So that's the setup. Right? Like, we we are just jumping from Shorzy Letterkenny Shorzy who's, like, a bit of a tick, and we get a preview, but but now we've got this beginning, right, where we're we've got TSN. I mean, that's quite a jump from part one to part two to go from, like, just junior hockey with no coverage to TSN. Thoughts?

Speaker 5

Well, with senior hockey to TSN.

Speaker 4

Right. But, Thank you.

Speaker 5

I mean, this is the national championships. And even though they don't cover them a lot, there is still some coverage. Mhmm. I I'm the puggle line Jonesy, you are such a fucking puggle. Mhmm. Never fails to get me. That is one of my favorite chirps.

Speaker 4

When he calls him a, Riley a labradoodle too, it's another one of my favorite chirps.

Speaker 5

Gorgeous. Absolutely perfect. Mwah. Yep.

Speaker 6

I think you said it right, Casey, was it as far as, like, a a BNS setup is, Jared tipped his hand a lot more than we realized at the time Mhmm. About, you know, things we would see. He's he's he's leaving all these little, you know Breadcrumbs. Items breadcrumbs along the way that when Shorzy comes about, it's not completely new. I was like, oh, there's the the the JJ Frankie JJ guy. He's in this. Okay.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 0

And, you

Speaker 6

know, And, of course, in the opening scene of Shorzy, Tessa's there, so you're like, okay. Alright. You know?

Speaker 4

They answer.

Speaker 6

It wasn't a completely new product. You know? Right. It was like, alright. I see some stuff I'm familiar with. I'll stick around and check it out. It's pretty pretty clever move. Mhmm.

Speaker 5

Think of it as, like, years of first draft.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Right? This is this is the screen test for sure. Alright. I'll just back to a pilot,

Speaker 6

if you will.

Speaker 4

Yep. Yep.

Speaker 6

Yep. Hey, Dennis.

Speaker 3

I wasn't talking to you. Shorzy, some information on your opponents. Vancouver, British Columbia is currently home to both the richest postal code in Canada and the poorest.

Speaker 4

So I Go then.

Speaker 0

This is bullshit. Why is Shores get all the credit now, buddy? Who are the chirp kings in this club? I know, bro. Teamwork. Hey. You wanna talk about teamwork, Jonesy? I took your mom to medieval times and me and the Green Knight took her down after it best western. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Riley. I took your mom the next weekend. Me and the Blue Knight showed her a real sword fight. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Jonesy. Your mom got us banned from Canada's Wonderland for trying to give me a tug on top gun. Al? You, Shorzy? Fuck you, Riley. It took your mom the weekend before, and she asked me to diddle her undropped tower. Fuck. Hey. Smile for the camera, you fucking loser. Riley, you ready? I'm ready. Good. Because you're going. Jones, are you ready? I'm ready. Good. Because you're going. Shorzy, you ready? Good. Because you're going. Let's get this fucking w, boys. Hey. This one's a video, you piece of shit.

Speaker 4

So I just wanna point out here that Shorzy has shoes on. Riley does not.

Speaker 5

I thought the middle one's Jonesy. Riley's the one on the other side.

Speaker 4

Well, whatever. One of the dum dums doesn't have their shoes on, but Shorzy does. And did anyone also notice the Wayne esque boom with his feet?

Speaker 5

Yeah. The little two step. What Yeah.

Speaker 4

What is that? We've never seen Shorzy do that.

Speaker 1

He came to attention.

Speaker 5

Because we've never actually seen Shorzy square up with anyone before.

Speaker 4

The only time we've seen it previously is when he's chirping the girls, and they and Mary Anne and Betty Anne tell him, like, what he said, and he stands up.

Speaker 0

Uh-huh.

Speaker 4

Yeah. That's that's the most we've gotten. Anyway

Speaker 0

Fucking w boys. Yes.

Speaker 4

Yes.

Speaker 0

Hey. This one's a video, you piece of shit.

Speaker 4

National senior hockey championship. If you're just tuning in, the host, the Cary County Eagles with the commanding four nothing lead. And, Tessa, there's a lot of chitchat between the whistles.

Speaker 10

Yeah, Kate. A ton of chitchat. So much that it's hard to tell if they're buddies or if they hate each other. My guess is the latter.

Speaker 5

Oh, bro dudes are already sponsoring.

Speaker 0

Recording? Affirmative.

Speaker 4

Monitors? Engaging monitors.

Speaker 1

What is this? The fucking Starship Enterprise?

Speaker 0

You're at your fucking longboard down here, two three. You got yoga pants under your gear or what? Looking a little wobbly out there, stripes. You see if he's giving you a contact tie? Can I fire up some of that Jamaican broccoli between periods or what? Want some fucking Bob Marley? Get pumped up?

Speaker 4

Okay. Thoughts? Or you wanted to keep towing?

Speaker 5

Well, I mean, other than the bro dude mugs being on Tessa and Kate's desk

Speaker 4

Mhmm.

Speaker 1

There we go, chirping about doing drugs.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Okay. Well, let's let's keep going.

Speaker 0

You wanna blaze? Hey. You wanna blaze, mom? Here go bottle tux and bubble hash your fucking loser.

Speaker 4

So these are thoughts of Lomo people's hockey.

Speaker 0

Town. Hey. Sucking up the Kuki. Wanna hit some resin dogs? Got some of that cock, lolo, dang. Animals. Animals. Animals.

Speaker 4

Animals. Animals. More skating action. Lomos, Shorzi at the net.

Speaker 0

Who's got a reggae cigarette? They're smoking jazzy. They wanna smoke a bowl. Right? Smoke a club. That's the duchy.

Speaker 4

That's Shorzy from the bench and on the ice.

Speaker 0

I've got a couple pre rolls

Speaker 5

in the ice. Naughty hockey kiddos go into the sin bin.

Speaker 4

So that was an amazing, like, sequence because if you've seen Shorzy, like, that's that's

Speaker 5

that's that's the show. That's it.

Speaker 4

That's the show. I think it's interesting to it would be interesting to compare shots. Right? Like, how how this these hockey scenes in Letterkenny are shot versus how Shorzy is shot. And even the progression from how, you know, change of directors in season three changes the way that shooting happens on the ice. I don't the slow mo

Speaker 5

Well, I wanna point out also, series eight and, nine both have Jim Weston Brink as the director of photography still, and ten, we get Billy Buttry.

Speaker 4

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

Master of shadow and light. Master.

Speaker 4

Master of shadow and light. Yeah. So some of my favorite shortsy chirps are about weed. Duh. My god. When he says some of that Pacalolo dank, I mean, that he says that to free Yeah. At the family reunion.

Speaker 1

Yeah. He does.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. Well, the

Speaker 6

thing is that I found quite amusing was, Shorzy, who's apparently, you know, really leaning into the, stereotypes of, you know, Vancouverites being the big potheads. For someone who's dogging out someone, the breadth of that man's knowledge about weed is kinda suspect. I mean, for someone who's dogging out somebody else for smoking weed, man, you sure do know a lot about it.

Speaker 4

Also, I wanna go back to the toilet chirping. The the storytelling around his chirps feels different than from part one. So, like, the medieval times chirps feels more like those initial toilet chirps that we get in season one episode one of Shorzy when he's like, now it's not just I'm trying to get at you and get under your skin, but now I'm, like, adding detail. Like, me and the blue knight took her down. Like Yeah. You know, that's that to me has the same level of truth telling as, like, getting an underwater squeezer off the side of our party island in Wasaga Beach. Right?

Speaker 1

Right.

Speaker 4

And then, of course, this what were you gonna say, awesome? Was that you, awesome? Erin?

Speaker 1

No. It was me. Not to mention that he did take Jonesy's mom first. Not that we're counting or really looking at that because somebody forgot to do that from last week.

Speaker 4

Maybe somebody should.

Speaker 1

Maybe somebody should.

Speaker 6

Back to last week, folks.

Speaker 4

We were

Speaker 6

we were debating on if there was a hierarchy between Jonesy's mom and Riley's mom as to who came in first.

Speaker 1

I definitely there was there was

Speaker 4

Speaker 1

a higher number of Jonesy, but, you know, we'll we'll keep going on that. But, anyway, Casey, you were in the middle of a thought.

Speaker 4

Well, can somebody check me? Have all of the hockey scenes ended with the scoreboard, or is this I can't even believe I don't know the answer to this. Or is this the first time that we have, like, a hockey sequence end with a scoreboard in Letterkenny?

Speaker 1

The only hockey's oh, in Letterkenny. I don't know about that. I was just gonna say Yeah. With the only hockey scene we saw before was the last clip in seven.

Speaker 6

But, like yeah. But this or, like, that last clip in seven,

Speaker 0

that was, like, the first time

Speaker 6

it was actual, you know, hockey

Speaker 4

game.

Speaker 6

It was always going in or coming out from the bench, and I can see that because that's a whole another logistical thing to have to actually film a hockey game.

Speaker 5

Right. Or from the gate. Because I I don't know I'm not entirely sure if this is the first time we end on a scoreboard like this, but we have definitely had hockey scenes that do not end with the scoreboard. Like, when, Riley and Jonesy get the gate in the, native flu, second fight at your head.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1

But the

Speaker 4

reason that I pointed out is because this this is, for me, like, the mark

Speaker 5

of occurring shot in Shorsey.

Speaker 4

In Shorsey. That's right. Like, it's the transition from the ice to whatever's next is is the buzzer and the score. Right. And whether they're going back to the locker room or they're going to Pepe's or whatever, it it Yeah. It's the first time we see that signal of this is the end of the hockey game.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Gore points out that the women's tournament has scores. Does it yeah. But they're not used as a device to transition from one scene to the next.

Speaker 4

We can go back and look. Not tonight, but

Speaker 6

Got it.

Speaker 4

I've I've got I've got receipts, so I'll just go back and rewatch the thing I've been rewatching for six months. Okay. Great. Moving on. Here we go now. This is, this is my favorite part of any of it. Yo. Hey, Dennis.

Speaker 0

He's not talking to us, buddy.

Speaker 3

Sure, Zee. Some information on your opponents. Newfoundlanders or Noofies as they're referred to by most Canadians live in the toughest climate in Canada according to Canada's Climate Index. Shorzy, cannons loaded? Alright. Oh, almost forgot. They speak kind of funny out there. Kind of like their own language, so try and keep up. Alright? Scoot in.

Speaker 0

Hey, buddy. What's up, bro? I'm bummed, buddy. Super bummed, bro. I know it was a thing for a while there with Quebec wanting to separate from Canada, but Newfoundland too? Got it, buddy. Mamas don't want trips into our office. You know, maybe they wanna separate again. Two of my top five all time glowies came from Newfie brides, but if I have to listen to you two separatist sympathizers for one more second, I'll shoot myself in the face. Riley, you ready? I'm ready. Good, because you're going. Jones, are you ready? I'm ready. Good. Because you're going. Shores, you Fucking a. The TSA fellas want you for a spot before warnings. Let's get this fucking w, boys. The fuck do you eat?

Speaker 4

Just kidding.

Speaker 0

He will know that

Speaker 5

He just has no respect.

Speaker 4

No. None. And, it's the first time we hear Shorzy saying something akin to, like, I wanna kill myself. Oh, yeah. Like, I'm thinking about on the bus. Like, if if they lost, then he would wanna kill himself.

Speaker 5

Oh, yeah. Look. Shorty. He doesn't have issues. He has subscriptions, and we will get into that later.

Speaker 4

No. Comments? We skipped over a lot of the new fee preview because I just wanted to sorta get right to it.

Speaker 0

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Yeah. I included this next little clip, and you'll see why in a second. Oh, Jacques Francois, Jacques Jean in the final.

Speaker 5

Are the wheels already turning for that one?

Speaker 0

Yeah. We, we gotta just take one game at a time there, Kate.

Speaker 9

Sixty hard miles ahead before we cross that bridge with our brothers. Yeah.

Speaker 0

Sixty hard miles for a brotherhood out there.

Speaker 9

It's a brotherhood out there.

Speaker 4

Ghost. Thank you, Riley.

Speaker 10

You bet. Thank you, Jonesy.

Speaker 0

You bet. You bet I'm real Natalie Spooner in twenty ten. Fucking lost forty four.

Speaker 11

Let them out, boys. Hey. One four. Size?

Speaker 0

Yeah. Some coal out here. What, Tommy? Oh, but she's right pretty, though. Nose, Tommy. No.

Speaker 11

Yorkie? I'm gonna Look

Speaker 0

at this ski, Teddy. That's the broadest skeet I ever seen or saw.

Speaker 6

Bit of a There

Speaker 1

he is.

Speaker 4

There he is, friends. The Teddy.

Speaker 6

I know that guy.

Speaker 4

Yeah. You guys should know this guy. This is Ted Hitchcock, ten inch cock. Years. That's Exactly. So and I just noticed this doing this cut is that the Newfoundlanders team is the George Streeters, and it's a street sign on their sweaters with two mugs of beer clinking together. And it's a call a shout out to TR's, gig and then the George Street Festival where the Podfather met Terry Ryan.

Speaker 0

That's

Speaker 1

Yep. Yep. So freaking cool.

Speaker 4

So Easter egg, there you go. George Streeters. And he's doesn't have his jibs in. I mean, this is full on Ted Hitchcock.

Speaker 5

Well, he's playing a game. You wouldn't have your jibs in while you're playing a game.

Speaker 4

Have some fucking self respect.

Speaker 1

Tell me we get to see him skate. I honestly did not I've have not seen this in a while. Like, did

Speaker 4

date in this. I don't know if I cut the skating in.

Speaker 5

Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 4

Because You might might have to go back.

Speaker 5

Teddy skates up to Tommy, and then they both turn around and skate away at the end.

Speaker 4

But not like not like on ice action. I don't think I put we'll see. Maybe I put it in here, but you might have to go back to this episode.

Speaker 3

You will.

Speaker 5

Because that man's a beauty.

Speaker 4

A look. He's art on the ice. And that's another thing. Like, if you anyone out there listening, if you get a chance to see Terry Ryan skate or have the opportunity to see him on the ice, take it, buy the ticket, fly there, whatever you gotta do, it is art. Okay.

Speaker 5

A man

Speaker 4

is a ballerina. Yeah.

Speaker 0

Knows, Tommy. Knows. So

Best we goes on out of this conversation, Tommy. Best we get on to go. If I find the slot, stay where you're too. I'll come where you're at. No, sir. He knows. Let's get on the go. Long may or may not jib drive,

Speaker 4

That's I mean I I don't know what I need to say here.

Speaker 1

Let's get on the go.

Speaker 4

Let's get on the go.

Speaker 5

I love the increasing confusion and rage from the five headed monster that is these chumps.

Speaker 4

Mhmm.

Speaker 0

You

Speaker 5

know? They don't know what By the time it gets to BoomTown, he looks like he's going to fucking cry. Yeah.

Speaker 1

And so Shorzy's on ice? Like, where's where's he's not in this

Speaker 5

fucking lineup, is he?

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 5

He's either in Sid Ben or he's on the ice. Yeah.

Speaker 4

Or maybe he's still finishing his shit.

Speaker 6

Could be. Yeah.

Speaker 4

I there's so many, like and this is where that question comes up. Like, is it is it new is it Newfoundland? Is it the character? Is it, like, these things that are reoccurring? Right? Like, let's get on the go, long mayor, big dib draw. There's there there's just so much in there that carries over into that character that

Speaker 5

A lot of that is, if you listen to Terry Ryan, is because Jared is a fan of cold water cowboys.

Speaker 4

Mhmm.

Speaker 5

And he likes the way that they talk.

Speaker 4

Right.

Speaker 5

So, I mean, we've all heard the interviews with Al, and we've all listened to TR's podcast.

Speaker 0

And

Speaker 4

Maybe. But there might be new listeners tonight who haven't.

Speaker 5

Oh, yeah. That's true.

Speaker 6

I just I

Speaker 5

don't wanna feel like I'm telling you guys stuff you already know. You know?

Speaker 4

Well, no. But it's not about us. It's about the listeners.

Speaker 5

Okay. True. But yeah. No. I I think because I I love the fact that Jared writes the lines, then Terry goes, how can I make this a little more Newfoundland?

Speaker 6

Right. Lean into it. Yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Yeah. So there's a little bit of room there. Stamp on there.

Speaker 4

Say again, Eric?

Speaker 6

Is literally just putting a road map to which shows he's gonna be in this episode Yeah. Or may perhaps even this season. I mean, it's just aft I mean, looking back, you're like, oh, it was all there. I'll be damned.

Speaker 4

Erin, did you were you gonna say something?

Speaker 1

Oh, no. I was just

Speaker 4

Okay. I

Speaker 1

was agreeing with

Speaker 5

Okay. Everyone was saying.

Speaker 4

Alright. Here we go. Fuck. Oh, I gave myself some time now. Okay. Alright. So I chopped this quiz up because, the TSN analysts talk about each of the dum dums and JJ, in the context of who who could lead, but I I cut that out for time's sake.

Speaker 11

Welcome back to TSN's coverage of the national senior hockey championship brought to you by Bro Dude Energy. I'm your host, James Duffy. Joining me on the panel for tonight's quiz are TSN insider Darren Drager, analyst Jeff O'Neil, and the legend himself, mister Bob McKenzie.

Speaker 12

Odog's a TSN analyst now?

Speaker 13

Isn't Odog a TSN correspondent?

Speaker 11

Let's meet in the middle of TSN personality. And Odog, we'll start with you. If you could build a team around one player in this tournament final matchup between Ontario's Cary County Eagles and Quebec's Three Rivers Lakers, Who wins? Your options are a, number seventy four, Jones of Cary County. B, number sixty eight, Riley of Cary County. C, number ten, Jacques Jean of Trois Riviere, or go off the grid. Alright. Fair enough. I'm going off the

Speaker 5

grid rehearse.

Speaker 11

For this one, gentlemen. Take Claude Lemieux and Claude Giroux, wrap them in one big ball, and you've got the Cary County Eagles number sixty nine Shore. He's got the point totals to match linemates Riley and Jones, but does far more in the shutdown role to help his team win games.

Speaker 2

You know, James, for the first time in panel history, I'm gonna change my answer. Shore is a certified grip grinder. He's the Brad Marchand of this tournament, and the Eagles aren't the Eagles without him.

Speaker 11

Drakes, your thoughts?

Speaker 13

Dino Ciccarelli comes to mind as a comparable player, but Shore is too much of a wild card to build a team around. You need discipline in your leaders. Bob.

Speaker 12

James, I've covered hockey for TSN throughout the careers of Darcy Tucker, Matt Barnaby, and Alex Burrows. And I believe Shore does more talking on the ice than all three combined. Though he's got the ability to take players and sometimes entire teams completely out of the game mentally, he's a liability, and I wouldn't trust him in a leadership role.

Speaker 11

I'm with Odog on this one, Bob.

Speaker 2

Don't care, James. Certified grit grinder, Darren.

Speaker 13

Yeah. Go put it on a T shirt, Jeff.

Speaker 11

Well, folks, you've heard from our panel of expert hockey minds. Please stay tuned for tournament final coverage of the national senior hockey championship brought to you by Bro Dude Energy on TSN.

Speaker 1

I feel like I've seen this scene before.

Speaker 6

I would hope so.

Speaker 1

Yeah. This is hap this happens again in Chorsey, like, all of this. I mean, like, that and then, wow. My brain isn't working right now. Just the leadership role, like, we're we're not we're not at leadership Shorzy yet, but it's wow. There's a lot of things here.

Speaker 4

I propose that this is the moment that Shorzy shifts. Mhmm. Because they're they're basically saying, like, yeah. He's great. They're comparing him to all these amazing hockey players. They're they're putting

Speaker 5

Notably ones with really filthy tempers.

Speaker 4

Right. But grit grinders as the guy said. Right? So so he's they're talking him up, but they also are talking about him in the context of Riley and Jonesy. Like, he's saying he's just as good as them. Right? Like, he wasn't an option. It wasn't even an option on the board for this quiz. It was Right. It was the dum dums and JJ Frankie JJ. Shorzy isn't even on the list, so he's still in loser mode. Like, he's still, by his own definition, like, not he's still a fucking loser. But he's showing up in this tournament. But he's showing up in the tournament, and this is when he if he when he hears this, my this is in my fantasy world. When he hears this, this is what sends him. This is when Shorzy shifts.

Speaker 6

I can see that. I mean, I I personally think that with at least in the level of competition and, games that really matter, Shorzy is, more than anything, in his key role as being better than even rallying Jones, he is a complete opportunist. I mean Mhmm. He knows, you know, he knows how to manipulate situations. He knows how to I mean, for someone who like, we were discussing last week, who perhaps isn't on the level of talent of others Mhmm. He uses his brain and his mouth to find, you know, the holes to get

Speaker 5

He can manufacture an outcome.

Speaker 6

Exactly.

Speaker 4

He's always contributing even when he's not on the ice.

Speaker 6

Yeah. And

Speaker 1

if we're thinking about it too, just the time and how long a a Letterkenny episode is, this is a lot of time dedicated to hockey. You know? Not necessarily Shorzy in general, but I know hockey boy hockey is a part of, you know, one of the or, you know, the the main, characters of these of these episodes, but this is this is a lot more than we've seen in a while. Right?

Speaker 0

And then

Speaker 6

I think it might have actually been in the realm of, as much as they talked about hockey and referenced hockey and showed, you know, glimpses of hockey, this is almost like a put up or shut up moment of, like, look. Are you really gonna do something with hockey? And if you are, how are you gonna do that? Because

Speaker 5

Yeah. They pulled out all the fucking stops.

Speaker 0

These

Speaker 5

are actual anchors, I mean.

Speaker 6

Right. Right. Right. And and they I mean, if you're gonna do if something worth doing, it's worth overdoing it. I mean, they just threw everything at it to, like this is what a hockey show from people who love hockey from Canada with comedic sensibilities would look like. And it's it I mean, we keep going back to it. It's, you know, it's the litmus test for what Shorzy could be.

Speaker 5

Yes. Yeah. It's the proof of concept. I wanna go back to grit grinder for a second. Like, I know I'm I'm never off my bullshit, but everyone should watch the Dawn Cherry Phillips.

Speaker 4

Oh, fuck.

Speaker 1

Okay? I wanna know why.

Speaker 0

Because

Speaker 6

Okay. Did do we have do we have the pool? How far

Speaker 1

did we work before?

Speaker 4

I don't think you said it last episode either, awesome. So

Speaker 1

But I wanna know why. Okay. Because You got lots

Speaker 6

of water in the woods in.

Speaker 5

Of hockey Don likes, and that's the kind of hockey Jared likes. And that's the kind of hockey player he was in his actual facts hockey career. So this, you know, glorification of the guys who aren't stars, but who just mock in and get shit done and manufacture goals, manufacture assists, find prep passes. You know? Go around the boards, the guys who are just grinding it out every fucking game, that's an ethos that has been with him for a long fucking time.

Speaker 4

Yeah. But this is how you set up a spin off with that in mind. Right? Like, this is This is the the trajectory. Right? This is now we're on. Yeah. Now we're on the road.

Speaker 6

And to that end, awesome, it seems like, you know, this and as you got into was a celebration of those types of players. Yeah. You know? I mean, there were Yeah.

Speaker 5

The guys who aren't names. Right.

Speaker 6

And, I mean, they always put the, you know, sure there were the stars and the studs, but, ultimately, they always gave credit and due to the guys out there doing the dirty work. Get in front of the shots. You know?

Speaker 5

Yeah. You

Speaker 6

know, all that stuff. And Jared made it

Speaker 5

shots, bugging apple thorns.

Speaker 6

Yeah. I mean, Jared made always made it a point to celebrate that aspect of the game. Mhmm. And it really does show awesome that, you know, that's where his ethos was. Yeah. Mhmm.

Speaker 4

Alright. Oh, yeah. I just I couldn't help it. I left this in because it's been a while, y'all. We haven't heard this before. Alright. Let's get you to ice level now. It's our first serving of Mhmm. Mic'd up. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Can we just take a minute?

Speaker 5

She's so excited. No. Fuck everything.

Speaker 4

You're breaking up. Awesome. But I think what you're saying is how geeked out Panis is in this entire scene.

Speaker 5

She is totally fangirling.

Speaker 4

It's amazing. Love it. I I I wanted to leave so much of this in just because, like, the first transition to them, when she's just sitting there geeking and staring at them, she's got, like, a full ten second count before she even opens her mouth with just this amazing just geeked out smile on her face.

Speaker 6

Did she play with her hair?

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6

Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah. She does the hair twirl.

Speaker 4

She's yeah. And she's totally like, this is so cool. Like, it it's it's incredible acting on her part, but maybe it's not. Like, I don't know if this is the first time she meets Tessa Bunham in Cape Veronese and that she actually is that excited. If she's not, it's amazing acting. It because it's just it makes my cheeks smile to see her geek out in this anyway.

Speaker 5

I mean, Tessa Tessa is a former Olympian, and her sister, Wenneke, is a former Olympian. So you know? Yep. Also, that would that would be more reason for her to fangirl out.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. Here we go now. Yeah. Micked out.

Speaker 0

Yep. I fucking throw on some smoked meat, Frankie. I'm gonna be in your kitchen all night. I heard that TSN guys think you're better players than me. World's premier hockey authority, bud. Soak it up. They're ax. Sure, Bob McKenzie. I fucking dare you. Have you know that Franco Fund broadcast already has treated me across that board. At that board. Get the monster burger out of your mouth, you fucking fat soul. Go have another Big Mac, you fucking hippo.

Speaker 4

Off to a hostile start here at the Cary County Arena.

Speaker 10

Nothing wrong with fireworks off the hop, Kate. The Ontario Quebec rivalry runs deep.

Speaker 0

Holy fuck, Frankie. You look like you love a good slice. You get axed from the show and just start hammering slices or what? The cup was a slice, you think you'd work a little harder, you fucking pizza face?

Speaker 5

I like how to flop out, though.

Speaker 4

Say again?

Speaker 5

I said I like how them both flop out, though. Right? Because, like, you you got the guys who, like, lace their boots all the way up to the top. Mhmm.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5

The tongue and tuck it under their tights. And then you got dudes like Frankie and George who just, like, tongs out.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 5

Can can I also just say Gotta have that flexibility in the ankle. Right?

Speaker 1

Oh, for sure for that. Yeah.

Speaker 4

But also fair

Speaker 6

to be fair

Speaker 7

To be fair. Long.

Speaker 6

This, I knew I knew this this scene was coming, and I it struck me as odd that JJ has more freaking lines in this one scene than he has in all of Shoresi.

Speaker 5

Yeah. I have a theory, and it's it's totally fanfic territory. But I think JJ took a concussion between the last fight with and whatever the fuck happened to get him not on a team in series one.

Speaker 4

Well, we'll examine that later on to the we'll we'll we'll try to see if we can prove him a winery. Aaron? Okay. So we

Speaker 1

see this throughout Shorzy too. Like, JJ Ricky JJ does not comment on his food habits. He just is like it just says nothing. I mean, there were literally shows on Shorezy where they were the women were talking about the food that he had in bed and the habits and everything. And there was there was no excuses, no sorrys, no but, like, he is full on just like, whatever, skates on.

Speaker 6

He says, we and.

Speaker 4

We and. Yeah. I love that we're getting like, I I remember JJ spoke, but once we left Letterkenny and dove into Shorzy and Frankie stopped talking, I had forgotten what his English like, I had forgotten about this part of that character. So going back and seeing him speak English at length

Speaker 0

Yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Speaker 6

I mean, he's not a he's not a bad actor. I mean, I mean, I guess it's just what direction Jared wanted to go with it, but, I mean, he's not a horrible actor or anything. It wouldn't have it wouldn't have been even the worst of the sluts at the beginning. I mean

Speaker 4

No. Right? But it's interesting because we spend so much time, like, wondering I mean, in the last few episodes, the recaps, like, what are we doing with this JJ story? Like, why are we spending, you know, six minutes on hey. Hey, y'all. Yeah. Girlfriends where he says nothing. And so it's just interesting to juxtapose, like, what's happening because you don't see Frankie speak when they take these clips into Shorzy. Right. You just see Shorzy chirping. You don't see the responses. So I just I find that really fascinating that Frankie speak in English. And we'll get more of that, a little later on. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Maybe a little tracking.

Speaker 5

Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Don't also, before we, like, get back into this proper, this song fucking slaps.

Speaker 4

Mhmm. Mhmm. Mhmm. So we got more slow mo, hockey shots. That's Get with this Bryson.

Speaker 5

Deep action shots too.

Speaker 4

Yeah. These boys

Speaker 0

Yeah.

Speaker 5

Can't fucking play.

Speaker 4

Yeah. They can skate. JJ's just going left and right. Yeah. That's right. JJ's got two on right now, and he's putting his third in. There he goes. Stick budget. Shorzy's breaking a stick on the ice. Got some yelling in the room in between periods. Fork. Another. Shorzy's yelling at his goalie. I can only imagine what he's saying to the goalie, and another stick broken.

Speaker 6

Yep. Sick budget.

Speaker 4

Sick budget.

Speaker 6

Those eagle those eagle, those eagle fans are are cheering quite a bit for a team that's down fast.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 0

Alright. I'm getting a double hat trick in the third, Jorzi. You need some fun too, you fucking

Speaker 4

More yelling in the room. Very pissed. More pissed than we have ever seen. Oh, Shores is angry. And he's getting yelled at by their coach, and he's got his head down in between Riley and Jonesy. And you can just he's shaking now on the ice.

Speaker 6

Shorzy going in the hole.

Speaker 4

Yeah. And then And then he Bobby JJ. Yep. Because JJ points to the scoreboard And left versus five up. This That, of course, starts a fight on the ice. Tana's is slack jawed, which is a great juxtaposition.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Because she's never seen him like this. Nobody's ever seen

Speaker 0

him like this. Said you stop crossing the emergency room, you fat fucking

Speaker 4

This is the Shorezy we know. This is Shorezy.

Speaker 6

Yep. This is the Shorezy that hates things.

Speaker 4

Yes.

Speaker 5

And, like, he knew. You could see it go across his visor the split second before he slashed JJ.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 5

He knew he'd get thrown out.

Speaker 4

Well, because he's shaking. Right? Like, he's he's making the decision on the end. This song is amazing too.

Speaker 5

He's bouncing on his knee as he's shuffling on his escape.

Speaker 4

And so then a score a puck goes in. The boys are scoring, and they're celebrating. Thorzy is not anywhere

Speaker 5

Nope. To three

Speaker 4

right now. He is off the ice. No. He's back in the room. And the reason I left this in, and we can fast forward a little bit, but I I really just wanted to just talk about some of these shots. Right? Like Yeah. We are we are looking at the evolution of not just Shorzy the character, but Shorzy hockey the show. Like, we are developing the show right in front of Jared's developing the show right in front of

Speaker 0

our eyes.

Speaker 5

All the boys are getting out on the ice here. And Right. There we go. Franklin and Jones Oh. On the top of the cupboard.

Speaker 4

Who's the first top on the ice to celebrate? Here goes

Speaker 5

here's our boy.

Speaker 4

He's he's coming right in to hug Riley and Jonesy. And touch the

Speaker 6

The national senior hockey, trophy got bigger in Georgia.

Speaker 5

Yes. It did.

Speaker 6

And I don't think in, like, a, Stanley Cup sort of way where they just add a ring when they're

Speaker 5

not grower, not a shower. It's a cup grower, not

Speaker 10

a shower.

Speaker 4

So that's all that we get of Shorzy in season eight. Once that a lot. It it's a lot. I mean, we spent

Speaker 6

Enough to make somebody go, I think Deku could handle a show of his own.

Speaker 4

This is fourteen this is fourteen minutes. Like, this is almost its own episode. Right? Like, we have the foundations. We Do you know

Speaker 1

what the reaction of the the fans were at this time with the, like, the increased hockey? Like, do you have any

Speaker 5

Oh, Christ. I'll tell you what. People went nuts for series eight, top to bottom, but especially for the hockey. Like,

Speaker 0

it didn't

Speaker 1

second that temperature. Right? Like, you know, just to see Yeah. That everyone was all about it.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Yeah. And that had not been the case for six and seven.

Speaker 0

Speaker 5

lot of people did not like six and seven. Eight, most people just fucking loved. Nine, again, people didn't love. And I swear to god, I think there's it's something about winter episodes maybe that people don't love. But, generally speaking, six through nine is considered the slump era. And then I'm not even gonna talk about ten, eleven, and twelve right now. I'm too mad about it.

Speaker 6

Okay. But

Speaker 4

That's fair. People frequently are wrong. Hey. A little show note in the middle of the show. Awesome. I I need your help because I picked the song for the end of this episode, but I don't know what the name of it is. But maybe you can, tell me it's gonna be from Vidvac, season ten episode five. It's the end song from the episode. I just I don't have the name or the title.

Speaker 5

So Okay. Yeah. Just do some background work for you. I love you. Thank you. Yeah. Love you too, babe. I appreciate that. Sorry.

Speaker 4

It's been a day. I said it was a

Speaker 5

day earlier, so I get to have

Speaker 4

I believe it. So so, yeah, season eight was a big, big chunk, a big testing ground, a big, yo, meet Shorzy. And now we're gonna jump into season nine. This is, from episode help me out show notes, season nine, episode seven.

Speaker 5

Yeah. This is Indian Energy.

Speaker 4

Indian Energy, which interestingly enough and awesome. Check me on this. I feel like this is the only season that has seven episodes that isn't the seventh isn't a special. Like, this is story continuation.

Speaker 5

No. No. Because series eight also had seven episodes. One of them was, fucking Dirks where they go beat up day day day beers day.

Speaker 4

Day beers day. Okay. Okay. That's right. Okay. Cool. Thank you. Thank you for the check. Alright. Here's, here's this, season nine.

Speaker 0

Who's the boys? Love your league boys. Playing us this weekend. Good. Just don't work too hard.

Speaker 9

And no one likes to be

Speaker 0

a league hero, boys. Relax.

Speaker 6

Don't worry about it. We folded straight to fuck you.

Speaker 0

Good. Relax.

Speaker 6

But we got a guy who can't be turned

Speaker 0

off. No. I'm not.

Speaker 1

Sure. See?

Speaker 0

Give your balls a tuck. Wait. You know this guy? Fuck. Yeah. I saw him at a Halloween party dressed as the twins from The Shining and almost shot dirt through my Dorothy skirt. You were dressed as Dorothy for Halloween? You bet. The dress looked good on me, but it looked better on your mom's bedroom floor, you fucking loser. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Jonesy. Your mom wanted to go with me as Toto, but I said short trip, you're already a fucking dog. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Riley. Your mom got refused entry to that party for coming in blackface. Glad I came in blackface before we left her bungalow. Fuck you, Shorzy. Were you really taking the other moms? No. Fuck you, Riley. I'd still be with her, but she ignored Lacey and Macy's safe word.

Speaker 1

It's Tassie and Cassie.

Speaker 0

So it

Speaker 6

is true.

Speaker 0

No. Fuck you, Jonesy. I dumped your mom, and she sent me flowers like I'm a fucking broad. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Riley. Your mom said she'd do anything to get me back, so I've gotta run around town on my Pokemon Go. Fuck you, Shorzy. We're done. Fuck you, Jonesy. How do you think I feel? I had to fuck your mom one more time because she still got my Game Boy Color. Fuck. Fucking Pokemons. Gotta catch them all, you piece of shit.

Speaker 6

Oh, fuck.

Speaker 4

Yeah. The directions

Speaker 5

It's twelve twelve euros.

Speaker 0

Cup and send it

Speaker 4

in. Yeah.

Speaker 6

You spit

Speaker 0

in the cup like the

Speaker 3

directions said. You spit in separate cups. Right?

Speaker 0

Yes. It just said spit in the cup and then send it in.

Speaker 5

Say how phenomenal Tannis' tits look.

Speaker 4

That hickey is everything.

Speaker 5

Right? Who's Look. Peak.

Speaker 0

Sure.

Speaker 5

And the earrings. Right? The framing with the hair and the earrings. Christ. A plus, fifteen out of ten. I think she has sponsors

Speaker 3

of the national senior hockey championship.

Speaker 4

So Emma is determined who

Speaker 5

will be committed for all

Speaker 4

this Anique. Anique.

Speaker 3

I must revoke the Cary County Eagles championship status.

Speaker 9

No.

Speaker 3

No. Good luck building your brand on the backs of disgraced former national senior hockey champions. Counties.

Speaker 5

JJ? What's with the fucking

Speaker 4

Trump nickname?

Speaker 0

Belong to the Tree Rivers Lakers. The smoke bomb is

Speaker 4

So, basically there

Speaker 5

is Hey. Wait a minute. Just a second. Why did why didn't we because there was a scene oh, no. We did include that. Never mind. I just blanked that out for some reason. I almost blew skirt through my Dorothy skirt. That's right.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yep. Yep. Okay. So so we have in season eight, pre Shorzy, hockey Shorzy. And then when we come into season nine, we see Shorzy in a different physical position. So he's not sitting. He's not fully squared to the camera like he has been in the past. He's not on skates. He's at the bar at an angle, sort of a little more casual, and then he's attacking JJ in the bar. So

Speaker 5

I love the way Jared launches himself horizontally.

Speaker 4

So these these are things that are, like, significant when you look at them in the context of the evolution of Shorzy.

Speaker 5

Like Yeah. What we've gotten

Speaker 4

thus far. These are tiny little tweaks that are happening. These are choices that they're making from and we know that everything is intentional. Every line is scripted. All the blocking, it's all on purpose. So you have to believe that once Shorzy changes positions, or does something physically different, that's an indicate like, that's that should be a flag for folks. But the first time we watched it

Speaker 6

We didn't give it a second part.

Speaker 1

I'm

Speaker 4

not even paying attention to that kind of shit.

Speaker 1

The the thing that bothers me is that Shorezy would even do this.

Speaker 5

Like Do what? You, like, cheat.

Speaker 4

You know? Oh. That That's something to bring up. Hey?

Speaker 1

Because, like Yep. He yes. There was a moment there where he's like his head's down. He he's he wants to win. Like, he wanted to win it in the moment. So maybe, like, preseason or beginning of the season, sure, he didn't give a shit when they were spitting in the cups or whatever. Mhmm.

Speaker 0

But

Speaker 1

by the end, he wanted it. Like, I don't it's just it's interesting. Yes. People can change. I'm not saying they can't, but I I find that fascinating that, like, Shorzy would just be like, yeah. Here you go.

Speaker 6

K o n don't play.

Speaker 5

Well so all three of these guys are real fucking white, and he knows there is no way that they can play on this team legitimately

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 5

If they're not

Speaker 6

Regardless of how many loopholes there are.

Speaker 4

Yeah. That's right. That's right. So There's also that Shorzy, out the back of the Colson with Laura Moore talking about, you know, being that guy who would sucker punch a dude in public, and that just doesn't work. So he he's he plays hockey because he can be who he is, which is a dick. Like, a bit of a dick. And A bit? Yeah. And and so this sort of I mean, yeah. I see what you're saying, Erin. Like, would Shorsey cheat? Like, would Shorsey Shorsey cheat? Not Letterkenny Shorsey.

Speaker 1

Letterkenny Shorsey's younger. So Right. You gotta learn your lessons. So That's right.

Speaker 5

Bring up one more thing. And, yeah, obviously, we only find out in the spin off that Shorsey's adopted. But if he has to submit a sample to fucking ancestry dot com or find your family or what the fuck ever. The he is going to find out about his biological family.

Speaker 4

Now this is some fanfic I can get behind. Awesome.

Speaker 5

And I don't maybe he's not ready for that. Maybe he doesn't want it. Like, they fucking they weren't they gave me away. They didn't wanna know me, so fuck them. I don't wanna know them.

Speaker 6

That or he's going the route of he wants to play in this tournament, and he's, by god, gonna guarantee that he's gonna get into it. I mean

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. For sure.

Speaker 5

That's a hundred percent why he does it.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 5

But I'm just saying you can't ignore the other thing now knowing what we know.

Speaker 6

That is true. That is true.

Speaker 1

Maybe they didn't check before. Like, the it wasn't like he like, it it may have been something he thought he was just gonna get away with.

Speaker 4

Right.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Because who checks these things? No one fucking checks these things.

Speaker 1

Bro dude does. Apparently

Speaker 4

Or maybe JJ knows and tipped them off. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway

Speaker 5

No. It was the twins who tipped them off. Remember?

Speaker 4

Well, that was about the drink, not the Yeah. Yeah. Not the DNA.

Speaker 5

I think that I I think that was, like, part and parcel of the

Speaker 0

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Bandana. So So they're gonna find that out. Alright. Yeah. So now we're getting into season ten. This is episode one king of the suckers.

Speaker 0

Girl?

Speaker 9

Cassie?

Speaker 3

Cassie?

Speaker 1

I'm Cassie. I'm Cassie.

Speaker 0

Give your balls to Todd Shortsy? You lost us a ship and you stole our sweeties? Your sweeties hopped into my truck like a couple homeless derelicts jumping a train. I'm supposed to be honey dicking your moms right now, you fucking losers.

Speaker 5

What happened to ancestry dot com?

Speaker 12

What did you do?

Speaker 0

Obronski, I used to wheel in junior, works there now. She told me her test came back white as snow, so I gave her my DNA. So you spit in our cups? No. I fucked her. Oh, that DNA. A native, I'm wailing, spit in your cups.

Speaker 1

Why? You gotta get that w, boys. What? Gloria, winning will

Speaker 4

never equal the pain

Speaker 1

of losing.

Speaker 0

They don't ask how. They ask how many.

Speaker 4

But but but

Speaker 0

no. They do ask how. They did ask how. And they determined that we got to how by cheating. And then they took away the how many? Where's your purse? You sound like a fucking broad. Fuck you,

Speaker 5

Shirley. Arms are. Like, I wonder how cold it was.

Speaker 0

She carves up my thighs when she gets bucking. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Jonesy. Tell your mom to trim her fingernails. Riley's mom's getting Shorzy. Fuck you, Riley. Your mom asked me to pull her hair and then hit me up for a hundo when her extensions came came out. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Jonesy. Your mom asked me to choke her and seriously not even that could shut her up. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Riley. Your mom wanted eleven hour anal and lied when I asked if the chamber was empty. It's one step forward, two steps back in this relationship. I'm fucking sick of it.

Speaker 5

Fuck you, Shorzy.

Speaker 0

Fuck you, Jonesy. Your mom says she's tense with anxiety. Can you talk to her for me? She's gripping my weiner way too hard. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Riley. I walked in on your mom watching porn and she tried to cover it up worse than she tried to cover up your old man.

Speaker 7

Fuck you, Shorzy.

Speaker 0

Fuck you, Jonesy. Your mom wanted to watch porn and went straight for BDSM with complete disregard for how triggering that is for anyone who's been ball gagged in their sleep by Riley's mom. Fuck.

Speaker 4

So So if I had no life, I would go back and compare these chirps to part one chirps. Oh, yeah. Because there's something distinctly different even it it's not just the toilet chirp storytelling. Now this is even another another level of progression.

Speaker 5

Now he's involving their dads. Yeah.

Speaker 1

There's more people. There's more of a story line. There's more Also,

Speaker 5

the the amount of makeup on Jared's back and shoulders right now.

Speaker 0

It's been ball gag. It's a lot. Riley's mom.

Speaker 4

Yeah. But, like, he's never mentioning that his

Speaker 1

he was tilted the other scene. You can see his mouth moving. You can't see shit now.

Speaker 4

No. Interesting. Right? His hair is more

Speaker 5

No. Because George just wants to show off his back muscles and how much time he's put in at the gym.

Speaker 4

Maybe. But then there's also this, like, still Shorsey tone. Right? Like, this is still Letter Kenny Shorzy. This is this is still the Shorzy you know. Like, yes, you've seen him on the ice. We've we've given him a lot of movement. But up until this season or season eight, definitely, he's sort of been a static character physically speaking.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Right? How they have to, like, very carefully avoid

Speaker 4

Right.

Speaker 5

Showing his face.

Speaker 4

That's right. That's right. But they don't they're not that careful with it in season eight. And, again, I think that's another primer for Shorzy Hockey, right, for the reveal. That's a that's another way to, like, set up that spin off. Right?

Speaker 5

Okay. Wait. Can we have a brief side conversation?

Speaker 4

I mean Primer

Speaker 5

or primer? Oh, god.

Speaker 1

Is this because his back freckles aren't there?

Speaker 4

No. Primer. Primer. She's asking about pronunciation of the word.

Speaker 5

Oh, oh,

Speaker 1

sorry. Primer.

Speaker 6

It's been on before paint.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Primer. I don't know. I I feel like primer is educational and primer is paint.

Speaker 5

No. Because if I put together a dossier and a Dossier? That's a primer.

Speaker 1

I teach first grade.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 1

It's a spirit my vocabulary is in.

Speaker 4

We're just gonna put a pin in that for You won't. Next time.

Speaker 1

Can I ask a question?

Speaker 4

Oh, please do.

Speaker 1

So does he count those as w's even though they're not official? Like, is that what's making him okay with all of this? Because he seems pretty chill

Speaker 6

about losing that.

Speaker 4

Mhmm. Yeah.

Speaker 6

Because He knows he's

Speaker 5

totally happened. Mhmm. And no one can deny what happened. So is he away, but they can't undo that win. Got it. Okay.

Speaker 1

I'm just curious how he's justifying.

Speaker 5

Also, I love this pumpkin colored shirt on win.

Speaker 4

So this is, we're getting into, season ten episode five. This is Vidvak. And what I was not able to include was the just the brilliant scene between Wayne and Tannis when Tannis actually asks Wayne to do the flooding so she can go bang Emma from bro dude and the entire, like, but it's your job. That whole scene be I rewatched that just for the fun of it because it's an excellent scene. So Mhmm. We'll we'll they'll into it in these clips, but I really I was so sad that Shorzy wasn't in that because I it's such a good scene. Anyway

Speaker 6

It is.

Speaker 4

So so Wayne is walking to the rink, and he sees JJ and another, Quebecer in a blue flannel, which as we all know is representative of Marie Fred. And he walks into the rink, and he sees forty who is he skating board to board, back and forth, alone, on the ice, late at night.

Speaker 5

Waiting in the work.

Speaker 3

Hey, early.

Speaker 14

If you're not ten minutes early, you're late.

Speaker 3

Look, this mutant,

Speaker 0

appears to be overexerting himself.

Speaker 3

He's going places.

Speaker 4

Literally or figuratively? Both, actually.

Speaker 3

I got him shipped up north to my cousin's team. Senior AAA, baby.

Speaker 0

Well, that was nice of you. Pettis? What fur?

Speaker 3

He helped me win that ship with the Eagles.

Speaker 0

Now you hold on one Bell Pepper. What's his name? Shorzy.

Speaker 14

I heard of that dude.

Speaker 0

Bit of a snake, didn't he?

Speaker 3

Temporary glory is better than no glory.

Speaker 0

Honesty is the best policy.

Speaker 3

Fuck you, dude. Go sell Bibles with that bullshit.

Speaker 14

Aren't Bibles free?

Speaker 3

You are such a pageant, bitch, with your conduct.

Speaker 0

Oh, you know, I like to set a good example for young people, Tannis. You're

Speaker 3

a fucking napkin.

Speaker 0

You drive safe then.

Speaker 3

Yeah. I gotta go lie on top of this broad.

Speaker 4

I'll clean up.

Speaker 3

Thanks, Bill.

Speaker 0

How late does he go?

Speaker 3

Till he can't anymore.

Speaker 4

Okay. So a few things in this scene. Tannis is the cousin. I can't even believe I can't remember her name right now. Janice? No. No. No. No. No. Her cousin she just said, I got him shipped up to my cousin's team up north. Nat.

Speaker 5

Nat. Right. Oh.

Speaker 4

So Nat is Tannis's cousin. Or her mom or or well, yeah, or her mom. But still, that would make Nat Tannis's second cousin.

Speaker 5

Yeah. I don't know. I think the name thing between Tannis and Danis and the fact that Juanique Millerhorn is sister,

Speaker 4

I mean Yeah. But, Danis, it's not Danis's team.

Speaker 5

No. I I think that wasn't set in stone yet is what I'm saying. I I think they mean, Danis, but then things got turned things got meddled around.

Speaker 4

Maybe. Maybe in your fan fic fantasy world, but these are the receipts. If we're going like, if if this is canon, right, like, if we're going storyline, then Nat and Tannis are cousins.

Speaker 5

Or someone on the team is her cousin. Could be Megan Zeig, maybe.

Speaker 6

Megan Zeig or G boy.

Speaker 4

That's right.

Speaker 6

And

Speaker 4

and Kenneth Smallock. So that's that. And then of course some inter intertwining there, man.

Speaker 5

There's definitely a lot of intermarriage there, man.

Speaker 4

But then, of course, like, this this last five seconds, and I stopped it here because, I mean, this is season three, Shorzy. Right? How late does he go till he can't go anymore?

Speaker 5

Oh, yeah. Mhmm.

Speaker 1

Putting in the work.

Speaker 4

That's go till you can't go anymore. Yeah.

Speaker 6

I mean, it it's a nice scene to establish Shorsey's work ethic.

Speaker 4

And this is what I think this is the result of that TSN quiz. Mhmm. Right? This is the result of JJ pointing at the scoreboard and chirping at him. Like, all of that leads up

Speaker 0

to this

Speaker 4

This Shorzy on the ice right here.

Speaker 5

I think if you're first thing to look at, Wayne's perspective on the character

Speaker 0

Mhmm.

Speaker 5

Yeah. I have heard of him, and he's a snake because what Wayne knows is he got that title from yeah. Dubiously somehow.

Speaker 4

Right. But but then yes. And Wayne is about to say

Speaker 14

I like his work ethic.

Speaker 4

He likes his work ethic. You sure? The Wayne's driving bony?

Speaker 0

You two handed me in the angle. Zambia. Now you answer the bell. Looks like you answered the Taco Bell, Frankie, one too many times. Just to fucking save some for the rest of us, you fucking garburator. Hey. More like John joke Francois joke John fucking jab at the Pizza Hut. Fuck you, Shorzy. Fuck you, Frankie. I told them to put a bear trap over by the dumpster to keep you from rummaging around in there. Go back into the bush and eat some berries like you're supposed to. You're fucking Winnie the Pooh, bud. Go put some honey in your tummy. Carlos. Jesus Christ. Take Christopher Robin with you, you fucking loser. Go back to the fucking dessert bar, you fucking treats of pizza face. Jesus Christ, Frank. You've eaten twenty boxes of apple fritters since I saw you last. Mix in a cinnamon twist, you fucking sumo. Hey, what's the matter, Frankie? There's no secrets between besties. What? You just remember it's fucking two for one dip cones at DQ, you fucking hippo. LA, Frankie. Continue comes out. Enjoy that twenty pack of chicky doggles, you fucking loser. Thick budget.

Speaker 4

So while Shorzy is going, which is one of my all time favorite things that he does. It's the jaguar's picnic. Yeah. JJ and his, Quebecois partner are approaching Shorzy, and they stop because they see Wayne stepping up to back Shorzy. That's what you're as a listener listener, that's what you're not seeing, listener. Is that So

Speaker 5

during that interaction, the the guy in the blue buffalo check, he tells Frankie who Wayne is, which means Wayne's got good, big, fat reputation through Quebec.

Speaker 4

Well yeah. Because he's been kicking the shit out of Blue Fanels for, like, three seasons. Right? Like, at the gas station

Speaker 0

when he

Speaker 4

Yeah. Goes up to defend, dairy, Trace?

Speaker 6

Yeah. No. You know, word has got around.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Yeah. Don't I'm just saying Quebec is not a small province.

Speaker 1

And they don't forget.

Speaker 4

No. They stand by their own. Okay.

Speaker 5

Still, I think it's funny that they don't want even odds.

Speaker 4

No. They don't want they don't want a piece of Wayne, and they know Shorzy's the killer.

Speaker 5

Two. They

Speaker 4

want two on one. Not Shorzy and Wayne. Right? Like Right. Shorzy.

Speaker 5

Shorzy's got a stick, so, therefore, he's dangerous, and Wayne is a weapon.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Alright. Wayne looks back. He gets in his truck, and he bolts. And he's back for night two. He's walk Wayne is walking back into the rink, and the blue, truck is there from Quebec, waiting for Shorzy, tinted windows. Shorzy skating back and forth again. Wayne and Tannis.

Speaker 3

Yo. Can you teach Axe and Slash how to drive bony? Yeah. Can you teach Axe and Slash how to drive bony?

Speaker 0

Zambo. Please.

Speaker 14

Which leg did you break?

Speaker 3

I wish it was my leg. I'm breaking my back banging this broad. I gotta pass the buck here.

Speaker 4

But it's your job. But it's your job.

Speaker 6

What? You sound just dyslexic.

Speaker 0

I know. She does sound quite a bit like me.

Speaker 11

Fuck more than a drill bit.

Speaker 3

Mhmm. I do it for you.

Speaker 0

I do believe you would.

Speaker 1

Thanks, dude.

Speaker 14

Enjoy yourself.

Speaker 6

Shut up. He's gotta be done soon.

Speaker 0

Another thirty minutes at least.

Speaker 6

What an animal.

Speaker 0

Paul. Is that a drive truck?

Speaker 4

What I really would have loved to see in this scene is axle axle and slash on the Zamboni with weight. Like, I that would have been hilarious if they were all just, like, squished in somehow.

Speaker 0

Agree with you this time, Fuck you, Shorzy. Jesus Christ, Frank. You've eaten so many honey glazed donuts. You're starting to fucking look like one. Hey. So

Speaker 4

just to set the tone, we have a reverse angle on Shorzy from the previous scene. So before Shorzy was facing JJ and his buddy in front of their truck, but now JJ and three other Quebecois are standing where Shorzy was standing in front of the barn. Shorzy's got his back to the truck. And, the He's looking at the barn. He's looking at the barn, and the JJ and his crew have their back to the barn.

Speaker 0

Hold on.

Speaker 6

Tabak. Which means

Speaker 0

John Jock extra frost

Speaker 6

Which means They flanked them from

Speaker 5

Yeah. It's an ambush.

Speaker 4

Yeah. They're yeah. They've got Shorzy cornered.

Speaker 5

And They waited till he came out, then they got between him and safety.

Speaker 4

And I just wanna say also, costuming, Shorzy's got the sweater on. It's not the property of the Sudbury blueberry bulldog sweatshirt yet, but it is the gray sweatshirt with fucking adidas pants. It's now like, not only are we seeing physicality, but now we have costuming coming into

Speaker 6

play. Adidas. John. Fuck are you?

Speaker 5

Yeah. Right? I wanna know if, like, Jared is angling for an Adidas sponsorship.

Speaker 4

I heard a European say it adidas once, and I refuse to say it any other way now.

Speaker 6

I hear you.

Speaker 12

Fuck you, Shorzy.

Speaker 0

JJ fritter JJ. Time's up. Fucking finish chewing your honey

Speaker 4

crow before you speak on your mouth. Out of the barn right now.

Speaker 0

Do you not know what's ahead of you, Ear? Well, I know what's behind you.

Speaker 4

And I don't need to

Speaker 0

piss off with the wind line.

Speaker 4

Dorsey, Barbie Clark, JJ again in the parking lot.

Speaker 5

This is fucking stick.

Speaker 1

Axe

Speaker 5

is a fucking tank.

Speaker 6

Yep. Anybody else notice that he went to you ever work this time?

Speaker 4

Yep. Yep. Flash and Max beating the shit out of some folks. Dwayne takes it to another dude just right in the face, lays him out, spits.

Speaker 5

One hit wonder, our man.

Speaker 1

That didn't take long.

Speaker 4

And then we have the third and

Speaker 0

Sorry. No.

Speaker 4

Final scene.

Speaker 5

Venue. Lost it.

Speaker 3

Look at this.

Speaker 5

Well, in

Speaker 4

the barn. In the barn. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Puking. And then a nice little, cameo of Riley and Jonesy doing their Vidbak butt dances, which I didn't wanna cut because, frankly,

Speaker 1

no one needs to cut.

Speaker 0

No one

Speaker 4

needs to not see that.

Speaker 3

Right? Yeah. So last night, boo. Why? He's out. Leaving town.

Speaker 11

Heading up north?

Speaker 3

Why you gonna miss him?

Speaker 14

I like his work ethic.

Speaker 0

Thank you

Speaker 3

for all your help. I can handle it now that I don't have to stick around and watch him skate until he pukes.

Speaker 0

When it's your germ.

Speaker 3

When it's your job.

Speaker 5

Well, later. Alright.

Speaker 4

This is I love this song. So Wayne is driving bony one last time.

Speaker 6

And both.

Speaker 4

And he finishes the turn. And we see Shorzy walking out of the door that Wayne typically walks in. Wayne walks up to him, shakes his

Speaker 0

hand. Good luck up north.

Speaker 4

And Shorzy leaves.

Speaker 6

Hey. Awesome. Yep. In that deep, deep recess of all things Shorzy knowledge or letter k knowledge, do you know who played Shorzy in the scene with them both in it?

Speaker 0

Oh, good question.

Speaker 5

It was one of the skeins.

Speaker 6

Okay.

Speaker 4

Oh, nice.

Speaker 5

Yeah. So are we not gonna see the Vidvac with in it? No. No? No. No. Last hurrah for the shower handstand?

Speaker 4

No. No. Not this one. Footage? Nope. Nope. Not this time. I wanted to stick to hockey. I wanted to stick to hockey in the in this it's okay. It's okay. We're also not gonna see his cameo from season eleven, and we can talk about why. We just have a few, few more seconds. Yeah. So, on screen now before we finish up, we only have a few seconds left, in the in the video part of our, podcast tonight. But yeah. The the sign is the Sudbury sign, the blue Sudbury downtown Centerville eight kilometers sign. That has kilometers? Yeah. Kilometers. Well, I had a couple shots of Gus and Brew. Alright. You're making me talk over the only part of this whole clip. Hang on.

Speaker 0

Let's get some fucking sushi macke.

Speaker 4

So Shores has got his shirt off, and below that blue sign, it says home of the Sudbury blue bulldogs. Bulldog. It's not blueberry bulldogs yet. Senior triple a hockey and Shorzy standing next to a BMW with a shirt off.

Speaker 5

And Yeah. It's like a old three series. That is, like, from nineteen ninety eight or ninety seven.

Speaker 4

We get a side profile for the like, the fullest side profile of Shorzy that we've ever gotten, and it lasts point. A second, and then the screen goes black. And that is the last that we see of Shorzy, letter Kenny Shorzy in the series. That's the last time we see letter Kenny Shorzy.

Speaker 1

The loadout hasn't changed.

Speaker 4

Fairview. Erin?

Speaker 1

The the logo hasn't changed. Like, they they had it in this episode.

Speaker 4

That's right. Wild. Yeah. That's right. This yes. This the the Shoulder. The the Bulldog's logo that isn't the blueberry. It's got the blood on the teeth, and the silver The broken heart stick. And the broken stick. Yeah. That's already established at season ten. Yeah. And we have okay. So this is great. In the chat, Chad says, wait. Didn't he ref a beer league game in season eleven?

Speaker 6

Not Subway, Chad.

Speaker 4

Not lot letter Kenny Shorsey. Not that is not letter Kenny Shorzy, Chad. I I'm sorry. And I didn't cut it.

Speaker 5

Supposed Shorzy Shorzy.

Speaker 4

You need to go back, and you need to and you need to watch, because it is it is clearly Shorzy Shorzy. So I did not. And and, again, take four to six. Rest up. Talk to me about it if you need to, but it will never be part of Letter Kenny Shorzy because it isn't Letter Kenny Shorsey. And you can go and check it out. And we can even talk about it, you know, offline in the after party if you want to. But that that for me is is the reason that it's not included because it's not letter Kenny Shorsey. Your thoughts, y'all. Thank you for taking this journey with me, first of all. But what are what are your thoughts now that we've reached the end?

Speaker 6

I still say this, was your most brilliant idea ever other than, like, showing up and saying

Speaker 4

Chase, you're my favorite hype man ever.

Speaker 6

I mean, other than the time he showed up and said, I think we could do the podcast while they're gone.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Which

Speaker 4

I'll also do I bought a hockey ticket.

Speaker 6

Oh, the oh, the last time

Speaker 0

too. Yes.

Speaker 6

That was this. That was the the, the, you know, the word. The,

Speaker 5

blueberry crew?

Speaker 6

Oh, the, the harbinger, the Impetus. Yeah. Impetus. Yeah.

Speaker 4

There it is.

Speaker 6

Anyhoo, the, you know, this was really, really, really brilliant. And, oh, by the way, guys, it came up on one of my memories on one of my socials that, like, today was, like, the two year anniversary of the first time we did a takeover.

Speaker 5

Oh. Is it?

Speaker 4

Well and last and last week was our tenth episode, our tenth takeover episode, which I totally failed to celebrate. So cheers to us for ten takeovers.

Speaker 6

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Two. Also You

Speaker 5

can't see me, but I'm also drinking Gus and Bryn. Nice.

Speaker 6

Being being fair. The

Speaker 0

Being fair.

Speaker 6

Being fair. I didn't realize it until Al put it up and said takeover team x, and I was like, nuh-uh.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ten takeover episodes. That's a big deal. I think we have the most takeover episodes of any takeover team in podcast history. Like, I think it's okay to say that.

Speaker 1

You gotta sell it.

Speaker 5

Yeah. I think you have a solid portfolio to work from here.

Speaker 4

We all do. I mean, ten what take show me a podcast takeover team that has lasted ten episodes.

Speaker 1

I you're looking at it. Yeah. Right?

Speaker 6

There can't be many.

Speaker 4

Find another podcast takeover team first, and then tell me they've gotten ten episodes. But, anyway, I just wanna I we didn't acknowledge that last week because we didn't know. So thank you. Just I wanna take a moment and say, like, big ups to you three for sticking with this ride and to Liz for making all of the introductions and all of the previous episodes, making her mark on those. She's not with us tonight, but, Liz has been a big part of the takeover team since the beginning.

Speaker 6

Or if you only knew how necessary she was on those skits.

Speaker 4

I mean, yeah. Especially considering you couldn't

Speaker 7

even pull one together tonight. I mean, come on, dude.

Speaker 6

Oh, well, yeah. But I'm giving you shit. Alright.

Speaker 1

And also But I Alfred I'm sorry. Go ahead. The soundboard.

Speaker 7

Right?

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank thank you, Al, for listening on vacation.

Speaker 5

Father for giving us the keys to the car. Yep.

Speaker 6

Oh, yeah. I mean, it was I mean, it god bless him. I mean, he we we're we're we're we're trying to do the thing, and he just said, okay. Don't fuck it up, bud. You know? It's like and we put He

Speaker 4

could always not have posted. I mean, we could have put up shit, and he could have been like, that's that's great. Like, thanks. Thanks, you guys.

Speaker 6

You guys have fun? Oh, that's good.

Speaker 4

That was really nice to listen to. It broke. Yeah. The file that you sent, I don't know where it went. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1

We'll Are

Speaker 6

you sure you sent

Speaker 5

Yeah. It it's it got corrupted.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 6

But but, like, brilliant idea and seeing it like this is when it really comes to a head, like, he was I mean, he was setting the table, completely just setting the table for what shores he was to become. And one thing I I was noticing, at least in those last batches of chirps and then thinking about when he does, comparable chirps in the, there's a there's a more mature weariness to his chirps in Shorsey.

Speaker 0

Speaker 4

Mhmm.

Speaker 6

I mean, it's it's at least with, like, Liam and Corey, it's almost, like, automatic. Like, he Yeah. He's not even given much thought to what he's saying anymore. And it's Mhmm. I mean, there seemed to be some vitriol in the letter Kenny one, and now he's just like, shut up and let me ref the game. But now if you're gonna try to chirp me, I'm gonna chirp you back. I mean so, I mean, it goes a long way in showing, like, I guess, the level of maturity that he's reached ensures he and I'm and still wanna know. If I ever get a chance to, like, just ask Jared one question of, like, how much time has happened between Shorzi leaving Letterkenny and Shorzi the show? Because seeing the whole thing you put together and then being fresh off the last season at Shorzy, it's got me thinking. That's probably been years, if not more. And, I mean, because, yes, the character is ultimately the same, and I think it goes a long way in explaining, you know, what you were saying about them being but they are two different characters, mostly because for no other reason, they're they're at two different points in their life.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 6

I think that's, you know, just the telling aspect. You see the the the the angry young man, Shorzy, and then you see the, you know, the world weary veteran. Yeah. The show is the manager. And, you know, it's it's like and it's only after seeing the the Shorzy Supercut that you're like, oh, wow. Okay. That's a damn I'm not saying it was all there, but there was a good chunk of it there.

Speaker 5

Yeah. My gut instinct is to say that the the answer to your question, how much time, is that it doesn't fucking matter. What matters is is he's moved, and he's grown. And

Speaker 6

It matters to me.

Speaker 4

Well and here's the other thing too, though. We know that he goes up, and he's a bulldog. Right? So young Shorzy shows up in Sudbury. Right? But it's not young Shorzy from evolution part one. It's this it's this, like, tween Shorzy, right, that that goes to Sudbury. And when we pick up in Shorzy season one episode one, he's already established with his team. This isn't new Shorzy. So there's a chunk of time between when tween I can't believe I was just calling him this. When tween Shorzy larva, Pupa Shorzy shows up.

Speaker 6

Puberty Shorzy.

Speaker 5

Puberty Shorzy. About it, Erin?

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. So when puberty Shorzy shows up in Sudbury, he still has a couple years before we get to season one because he's gotta establish relationships that we we don't see. He's not

Speaker 5

Yeah. Like the Sanger and that Right.

Speaker 4

That. All those pictures and that and her mom. Like Yeah. And mom's dead. Right. Yeah. He's been there.

Speaker 6

There seemed to be a touch of that. I mean, not to harp too much on the Shorzy thing, but that I thought that mom thing was gonna play out more as a plot device than it did.

Speaker 4

Wait for it. I guess. I have theories about that. I have theories about that with the way that they ended season three of Shorzy.

Speaker 1

That mom about in another episode.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. We'll save that for another time. Yeah. A couple of news a couple of news bits, really, just one. Season four started shooting in Sudbury. The boys are back in Sud Vegas. If you're not following, Jonathan Diaby, Dolo Good. Andrew, Terry. If you're not following the sluts on Instagram, you're missing out.

Speaker 5

Of the forty crew members that we've stalked.

Speaker 4

Right. Like, any yeah. Anybody who's anybody is in Sudbury right now except for us, but that's okay. We're there in spirit.

Speaker 5

Somebody send me a plane ticket.

Speaker 4

And, yeah, we just wish them all the best. And I already sent a message to Goody asking that he tell Jared, that we need more silly skating from Shorzy in the ref scenes in season four. So I am going to go ahead

Speaker 5

and say points out she's there.

Speaker 4

That's right, Michelle. You should go stop them for us. Go be an extra.

Speaker 5

Please. Please.

Speaker 4

The queen of Sudbury, Michelle, is in Sudbury. Yes. So so best wishes to them. But I will say this. I did message Goody, and if silly skating shows up in season four, I'm fully taking credit for this.

Speaker 6

As you

Speaker 4

should. Thank you, Jared, ahead of time, for doing more silly skating. Final thoughts. Erin?

Speaker 1

This was a blast. It was really fun, you know, as as I said last week, just to look at how we started and where where we ended. I also wanna say congratulations for ten episodes. Love you all so very much. Thank you to Al and the gang for letting us do this. Truly, truly is an honor and having a blast with you and getting the privilege to do this every time is just a is a is a gift. So fantastic idea, case. Like, honestly, this is just a a blast. Thank you.

Speaker 4

Awesome.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Despite, what Trace had us say in in last week's skit, I don't think this was an insane idea. I think this was a brilliant idea. And this is this is the kind of real super nerdy character shit that I like to get into. What else? Yeah. I love all you guys too. Ten episodes, eleven now in the books. Yep. Can't believe it's we've actually pulled this mess off.

Speaker 6

Mhmm. And,

Speaker 5

look. When when the Shorzy spin off was out, Quite a lot of the sub reacted very poorly because, you know, spin offs all suck. He's a one dimensional character.

Speaker 6

Reddit reacting poorly. Who'd have thunk it?

Speaker 5

Yeah. Imagine that. Right? Don't tell

Speaker 1

me they do that. It's such a lovely place.

Speaker 6

Oh my god.

Speaker 5

Anyway, and that is Erin, you seem super chill. The spin off I wanted, can this spin off forever? But, you know, trust the process. You know? Like, Jared knows what he's doing. He's had a long time to work on this. How about we give this man whose show we've adored for this long the benefit of the doubts.

Speaker 4

Mhmm.

Speaker 0

And

Speaker 4

heard we trust.

Speaker 5

Yeah. And and just watching the supercut altogether, and watching the success of as a spin off for the last three series, And now, you know, in the series four, like, I wanna I wanna wanna ask all those people who were convinced that it would just be the thing on television ever. Where you at now, slut?

Speaker 4

Can I just say something here? Can I just say something? You guys were you guys were here. You're winning. That's great.

Speaker 5

I wanna share if you're

Speaker 4

super smart. Where the fuck were you when we were losing? Yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah. You're bad.

Speaker 4

That's what I said. Fuck you. Anyway,

Speaker 6

Fuck

Speaker 5

you, dude.

Speaker 0

Fuck you.

Speaker 4

Chase, you were kinda given your final thoughts, but I I didn't, like, say that they were your final thoughts. Do you have any extra final thoughts?

Speaker 6

Oh, no. Just Okay. This is, tons of fun. That was a brilliant idea. Yes. Getting out withstanding, but, you know, try to make write whole entertaining stuff in the beginning.

Speaker 0

It was great.

Speaker 6

It, yeah, this this has been a blast, and, here's to was this our eleventh or this

Speaker 4

Eleventh. This is eleventh. Okay.

Speaker 5

Just think Yep. On one.

Speaker 6

And, I mean, that's cool as heck that we're able to do that, and, you know, thanks for letting me be the one guy at the clambake.

Speaker 0

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Yeah. I I appreciate you all so much. I appreciate Al. I appreciate Jared and Cara and everyone at New Metric who welcomed us into this piece and allowed us to make this not just something fun to do that we get to do, but something that was, like, a real actual part of our lives. And to be able to do eleven episodes with you guys on a podcast that isn't even ours is kinda fucking amazing. Like,

Speaker 7

I don't know how you guys feel, but this is, like, one

Speaker 4

of the biggest flexes I have in life. When I go out and tell people I have to go take over somebody's podcast tonight, they look at me

Speaker 7

and they kinda cock their heads, and

Speaker 4

they're like, what? I'm like, I gotta go.

Speaker 7

I don't have time to explain it to you.

Speaker 6

Y'all y'all remember the y'all remember the interview that Al did at the at the pod fest thing that you were there?

Speaker 4

I was I was filming it. Yeah. Right. Right. Right.

Speaker 6

I mean, Al was suitably proud about the whole thing. The proudest Al was about the whole thing was when he started talking about, you know, the empowering of his audience Yeah. To do something as insane as turning over the keys to listeners

Speaker 0

Yeah.

Speaker 6

To actually record a podcast and put it out under the brand.

Speaker 5

That is properly nuts.

Speaker 6

I mean and that was, like, the proudest he was in the in the I mean, he loved talking about, you know, making the podcast and how he you know, his career and, you know, making a career out of the podcasting, but he he was he was so proud about talking about, you know, the takeover team and people coming up with their own episodes and, like, Yeah. I mean, I always thought that we were you know, he was just super nice and Canadian and didn't have a He

Speaker 4

thought he

Speaker 1

was curing us.

Speaker 4

They're not that nice. They just didn't have the heart attack.

Speaker 6

They didn't wanna lose a listener. So sure, man, you can write an episode. And, but, no, he's it's it I almost got a little, you know you know, misty eyed when he was saying that because I was like, oh my god. He's really, really proud of us, and all you wanna do is make dad proud. So

Speaker 4

Speaking of dad, my understanding is we have one more week off until the entire TPS crew comes back for the final episode of Shorzy season three. And then we are headed deep into the off season. I don't know what's next. I I I don't know. Maybe the takeover reps will join will will Maybe.

Speaker 0

I mean

Speaker 6

never doing it again.

Speaker 4

That's so sad. So so and this is I we haven't talked to you guys about this at at length, but as we're sitting here, I was thinking, like, you know, TPS went through a a branding change. We shifted into Shorzy since Letterkenny has, ended. And I feel like the takeover team is poised for that same sort of shift. So, you know, I have a lot of thoughts about what that could look like. I mean, I know the take over at Chad isn't really, you know, wanting to do that again, but maybe we start. Yeah. Yes. Like, maybe maybe they maybe the take overts and the takeover team go together. Maybe we do guests the same way Al does, special guests. I don't know. There's there's a lot of potential for change in the future, and there's gonna be a lot of time. I mean, there's shooting season four now, and we're ending our review of season three in two weeks. So there's a lot of out season.

Speaker 5

There will be also the recap episode. So Yeah.

Speaker 4

And then ag haul, we have to have an ag haul. But Yep. After that, we're in in the cold dark night of the off season. So, you know, for those who are listening, if you're not a patron and you wanna jump on an episode or you have an idea that you wanna share, all you have to do is look up Produce Stand pod on any social media flat platforms. You can support the podcast by rating on iTunes, Spotify, and then become a patron, and you too can get your own episode and help us help sustain listeners like you through the through the off season. I feel like this just turned into a PBS telethon.

Speaker 6

Listeners like you. And and but and I know you some of y'all out there might be thinking that, you know, any an idea you might have might not be a good idea.

Speaker 5

I Oh, trust me.

Speaker 4

Look. Ask Chad. Called worse.

Speaker 6

Ask Chad. He came up with probably the most insane idea for a episode, and it worked beautifully.

Speaker 4

Yep. There

Speaker 6

are no bad ideas. Everything works.

Speaker 5

Yeah. I mean, I'm not

Speaker 4

Go on. To

Speaker 5

be fair, Trace came up with the idea for doing a wordless episode on famous for its fucking dialogue.

Speaker 0

And

Speaker 4

Thank you.

Speaker 5

One of the best episodes we've done.

Speaker 6

Free free livestream.

Speaker 5

No. They're brilliant.

Speaker 6

There's not scene one in that thing.

Speaker 5

Right. No. We didn't do any video or nothing.

Speaker 4

Nope. So as you can hear in the background, this is our closing song called, Step Out by Dead Soft, and this is the, song that plays over the scene where Wayne and Shorzy are shaking hands, and I I just love it.

Speaker 1

KC, how are you feeling about all of this though? You know? How how it how it all played out and wrapped up?

Speaker 4

Oh, it it went exactly according to plan. I'm I'm very pleased with the, I feel, like, very, twisting my mustache over here. I hope that

Speaker 5

with flash frame when he burns.

Speaker 4

Yeah. A little bit. Like, I I knew what I was doing. I I knew what I thought I knew about what I've seen in Shorezy, and I'm I'm a devotee. Like, ever since we've been on set I gotta shut this music off because I'm distracted. Ever since we were on set and ever since we had that experience, my whole perception of this and what we do changed, and I have a little bit like, I think I jumped the timeline. And so I went into this with a little more confidence than I was leading on to. I just wanted everyone to sort of like, I wanted you to see it for yourselves. So I'm very I'm very pleased with the response, and it's exactly what I thought it would be. And I'm just really glad that you guys were able to see what I saw because it's there because Jared made it so. It's not like it it's not like I did something special. I just cut out all of the crap and put to, oh, I didn't mean to call it her Kenny crap, Jared. The unrelated the unrelated stuff And

Speaker 6

Just streamlined.

Speaker 4

Yeah. I just sort of narrowed the view so that you could see what Jared wanted us all to see, which was he knew what he was doing. There was a plan, and Shorzy was always Shorzy. And I really appreciated the I think it was you, Erin, that said it's just a it's a different it's it's the growth of Shorsey. Right? Like, it's the same Shorsey, but different because it's a different person. It's a different time in his life. So yeah. Yeah. We did.

Speaker 5

We zoomed in.

Speaker 4

Yeah. Yeah. We did. And we are coming right up on the two hour mark, so I just wanna also give you guys big high fives for that.

Speaker 5

Thank you. Thank you. Yep. Yep. Yep. Gonna kill us.

Speaker 4

No. He's gonna love it. He's gonna love it.

Speaker 5
