What the actual fuck is going on here.
Oh, hey, look at you friends.
Welcome to How Are You Now?
The podcast where we talk about everything.
Letter Kenny, related from Shorey Chirps, McMurray's Questionable Behavior.
We're the toughest podcast in letter Kenny.
And we're here to talk about everything that makes this show a cult classic.
So grab a puppers, get ready for some Hicks skids, hockey
players, and Glen Tiar.
How are you now?
Couldn't you?
Are you sure about that?
No.
So that's been going on with you, babe.
I'm working again.
Yay.
It's weird and I'm exhausted every day.
And.
Last weekend I only had one day off, and this weekend has felt like that
too, because, oh yeah, grad school.
Fuck, what the hell was I thinking?
Well, I hope you've learned your lesson.
Ugh.
Yeah.
Oh man.
So, uh, let's see.
I, I've, I've gotten an, I got another couple of, uh, voice voiceover things,
uh, which I've done, which has been cool.
Um, and, um, What else?
And
only one guy has tried to steal your voice for ai.
Well, yeah.
I don't know.
Well, one that you know about.
Well, I, but I put that in, uh, in my requirements they have to answer that.
You will not be using my voice for AI or any of that smart kind of stuff.
So, and they, their answer either has to be, I agree, I will not do that, or no,
I will look for another voiceover actor.
Smart.
So I like that.
Yeah.
Um, but yeah, uh, again, um, we have a new phone number.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, (503) 487-2789.
Uh, and, um, fit Party.
Yeah.
50 foot party, you know, to get your Fitz Bow.
So, Uh, and we've got a, another, uh, running that, running the promo through
the end of the end of the season.
So, uh, let's play this real quick.
Sunday's
at 3:00 AM it's the fuss with Hank and Jess on letter.
Kenny's zone 97.1 C G N U.
Good.
New radio.
We're not so bad.
You know, I was just thinking, yeah.
Do we know?
Is that.
Eastern standard or Pacific, like, I'm not gonna be up at 3:00 AM no
matter what, but like now I need to figure out like, what is that gonna
be, you know, I, they, I don't know.
It's prob you should ask.
It's probably Eastern, I don't know.
Um, oh, letter Kenny.
Yeah, yeah.
Letter.
That makes sense.
Say letter Kenny.
So yeah, sure.
Um, but uh, back again with, uh, with an old friend.
Ladies and gentlemen, those beyond the binary, it's time for the
season finale of How are You now?
And we have a very special guest joining us today.
He's a podcaster, lit letter Kenny enthusiast and all around.
Great guy.
This season has been full of ups and downs, so we couldn't think of anyone
better to help break us all, break it all down than our very good friend.
So sit back, grab a puppers, kick your feet up on the O Koya end table
and get ready to share some insights.
And last with our good buddy Al Grego.
Al, how are you now?
Good.
You?
Oh, not so bad.
Uh, it's good to have you back on my friend.
Good to be back.
Thank you for having us.
Yeah.
And, and I, and I think the reason Tiara was asking that question about what time
zone they're in is I, I understand you're supposed to be going on the fus Yeah.
Over CG N U apparently.
Yeah.
I'm not sure, um, exactly what they're, you know, I think I'm gonna be doing some
music stuff with them, so I'm not Oh, very
cool.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
Um, so yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
And you know, the other thing I'm looking forward to is
our upcoming, uh, table read.
Yes.
That'll be fun.
So yeah, looking forward to that.
We, uh, we don't fight at weddings, one of one of the greatest episodes of all time,
so
tennis, a red
dress,
What am I trying to get skinny with this clear liquor?
Um, oh, we've already, uh, already got a comment from Adrian, can't
stay, but wanted to say how wonderful it is to have y'all back.
More importantly, glad you're both in a spot where you're healthy
and up for bringing us to your insight and love the universe.
So yeah, thank you very much Adrian, and uh, it's great to,
it's great to be back and, uh, and hang out with our friends here.
So.
Hey, Jen's a good guy.
He is a really good guy.
He is.
Oh yeah, he is.
Um, so quick question.
Overall, uh, just overall season 11, what was your, what was your thoughts on that,
just kind of briefly before we get into
it?
Yeah, I mean, if you go by our rating system, I believe
I gave it a low fresh, A low?
Yeah.
Okay.
Maybe hot clearance, low fresh.
It was, it was kind of, you know, it was teetering.
It was, it was nice.
It was a good, uh, good season.
But, um, yeah.
Yeah.
You know, there's some things that left me a little lacking, but, uh, yeah.
Yeah.
I,
I don't disagree with that at all.
I mean, there were some that were really good highlights
that I liked and, uh, yeah.
So, um, so what else have you been up to there, Al?
Um, oh,
not much.
You know, I'm not busy at all.
Um, I
mean, I know you're doing, uh, uh, your, your show, the, uh,
the Oh God, yes, we are open.
Um, how's that going for you?
So, I mean, I'm in, in the middle of season four right now, which is, I
mean, it's when, when I'm in season for that, uh, for that podcast,
I've got no time for anything else.
I'm, I was happy to be able to join you guys tonight bec, but, uh,
otherwise I'm still, I'm working on these like, around the clock, but,
uh, they, they've been a lot of fun.
It's been really gratifying getting to travel, uh, you know, across
Canada and interviewing, you know, people about their businesses and
telling their stories and stuff.
It's been really fun.
Like, I, I never thought I'd, I'd get to do something like this,
so.
That's awesome.
Surreal.
Yeah.
It's so cool.
I, I mean, the traveling part sounds like, sounds horrible, but
you just, you like to travel.
I like to travel, so I was like, Ooh, this, that sounds fun.
Yeah, I, oh, I enjoy traveling and it's, it's within my own country,
so you don't have to like, the, the part I hate about traveling is like
customs and all that shit, right?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Getting on a plane and getting off and walking out the airport
without worrying about customs.
Show me all papers.
Yeah, exactly.
Uh, anything else you're doing?
Um, uh, well, I
mean, yeah, that's the, and then, you know, we're, we're working on
the produce stand and we're right now off season, as you guys know.
That's always fun because Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, there's no roadmap for this, right?
Yeah.
There are no, there are no episodes to talk about, so we're
kind of adlibbing as we go, but we're, we're having fun with it.
And, and our listeners are, are he helping out?
Like last week we had, um, uh, a couple of our listeners come
and, and kick out their, their favorite tennis scenes, right.
So that's
Oh, I need to go back and
watch
off.
Yeah.
The top.
And he seen tennis is in pretty much, yeah, exactly.
Oh, I know.
And then when we run outta that stuff, there's some, some, uh,
kind of off let off universe stuff that we're thinking about doing.
Like there's, that, there's a show, uh, featuring, uh, Teo Horn and, um, uh,
Vanessa Matsui, she plays, um, the, uh,
bro, dude, uh oh yeah.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
The two of them have this, uh, uh, YouTube series called Ghost bff.
So we're, we're, we're, we're thinking about maybe, do, you know,
looking at that and kind of applying what we do to letter Kenny mm-hmm.
To that show.
Yeah.
See how to, cause it's, it's, it's fun.
Uh, I've, I've already, I watched the first season and it's, it's
different, but, but kind of neat.
And, uh, it features two of our favorite
character, so why not totally.
Yeah, get after it.
So, um, so let's get into the, uh, the recap of season 11.
Uh, our first episode chips, uh, where we had our, uh, first time guest,
Aaron, uh, to kick off Season 11.
Uh, there was lots of discussions of chips and fifth though, and
lots of tropes, plenty of fun.
Uh, I think I can, I speak probably for both of us that
we really enjoyed this episode.
Had a blast with our longtime friend, first time guest.
Yes, Aaron, uh, really enjoyed the tropes, uh, dissected in the up in the episode.
Um, I did have, uh, one observation about Glen's exercise regimen, but I did
have one observation that I wanted to bring up was the amount of weight that
they were putting on the bar for Glen.
Equaled about 405 pounds.
Right, right.
There's no way.
Right.
There's no way.
I mean, yeah.
Watching them struggle to put the, put the, you're right.
That's, it's, I haven't written down.
Yeah.
He had four plates on either side.
Um, plus the bar itself, plus the bar itself.
So, and that's, so that's 45.
Five close times,
times a lot.
8, 9, 8.
Yeah.
Nine.
Yeah.
Four, five.
Yeah, because you're eight and then nine, the bars, the bar is 45 as well.
Mm-hmm.
So, yeah.
So that's, that's, that's what I've got.
If that bench weren't perfectly balanced, it would've like, fallen on to Oh, yeah.
Like the Flinstones mobile, when they put the big rack of ribs on it.
Yeah.
It
would've, would've done.
Yeah.
You totally gotta, you gotta, it was good that Dax and Ron were there putting
'em on at the same time, so, yeah.
I wonder how, I have seen a number of guys do that.
I wonder how many times they had to shoot that so that it didn't.
Topple over.
Like, they had to be very precise about getting it on the same time.
I'm, I'm sure there were instruction.
I mean, cause they were, they were in a gym, so there had to be
somebody there, you know, being, uh, the safety person hopefully.
Um, so the cool thing, cool thing about this episode, about
those scenes in particular.
Yeah.
So one of our listeners, uh, Tobias, uh, actually had a, a one for a Sudbury
trip, a few last month I believe.
And he, and he, he came on and talked all about it.
He met up with the owners of that gym as an
apparent, called the basement.
Really?
There or, yeah, basement.
Yeah.
He went pizza, music.
He really wanted to go to the basement.
So he did, he met up with the owners and chatted with them apparently.
One or both of them or whatever are the two guys working out
behind in all those scenes.
Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's, yeah.
Yeah.
Cause that was definitely an observation.
Oh yeah.
So, uh, but then, you know, the chips, uh, up, uh, portion of, uh, you know, Aaron
Love, uh, rolleds greatest desire, rolled really loved and wanted it to be called
regular old letter to me.
Yes.
I wrote that to like,
I was like, I know what to write in his
birthday card.
Yes.
If I ever had, and then, and of course kids is a, of course, Katie, Katie with
her hating of everything is any who.
Yeah.
Katie's never really been nice to roll.
No.
Except she's been never been nice to really anybody except for Wayne.
And she's That's true.
She's just gr she's grumpy all the time.
Is it because she's not, Having the sex with, right?
Yeah.
She doesn't have two boyfriends anymore.
Yeah.
Actually we haven't seen her with a regular boyfriend since that one.
Yeah.
So.
Oh, Katie.
Katie needs, Katie needs to fall in love.
Yeah.
Yes, she does.
Next season maybe.
She definitely needs to get laid.
That's
well, yeah.
Um, I think there was only one scene in this se in this season that she
even was like, interested in something.
I wonder
if he liked Sex with Girls.
Yeah, that would be great.
Great one.
Is somebody there?
I don't know.
And I wonder if he likes Sex with Women.
Um, I always, I mean, because he was such a fun character,
uh, the doctor from last season.
Yeah.
I think it'd be great if he came back and maybe became like a
Katie Love interest or something.
That would be an interesting, I agree.
Might be too goofy for her, but, uh, I think it'd still be a
fun, or maybe Dr.
McDavid.
Yeah.
Oh, which one though?
Right?
Senior?
Yeah.
Or
senior.
Oh, dad or grandpa?
All three of them.
There is one thing though, because we were saying that like she's
never really nice to anybody.
She is nice to the other women for the most part.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, Rosie definitely Rosie and like, even Tannis, like, she doesn't
quite get, she's not on the same level that Rosie and Tans are on, but like,
when she understands what's being asked for, she's like, oh yeah, you
know, he's, you know, he's building some furniture for me or whatever.
Um, later in the, another episode.
But, uh,
and she's got a secret handshake with Gail, so we
know that they go back.
You got smack on the ass.
A smack on the ass between her and Rosie constantly.
Just, I love that.
Yep.
I love it.
But, um, but yeah, our, our fuck fight feta winner for this.
Uh, he, he was the only one, uh, was Ron, um, right, right.
He was the consensus winner in this because all kinds
of gay straight up the air.
Um, yep.
So what we talk
about here, what are we even talk,
so who would, what are even doing, who, who, who would've been your fuck
fight fur winner for this uh, episode?
Oh
man.
Um, I mean, I'm partial to, I'm partial to, well, no, it's
Bonnie, it's Bonnie fucking Inly
all dressed.
Oh, yeah.
What the fuck?
Nah, I, I agree with that.
I mean, I was, I, she was definitely on my list.
I mean, um, but yeah, totally.
I agree.
Mm-hmm.
Um, anything else you want to talk about on this one before we move to.
Uh, just that all dressed chips are the best.
Oh, agree.
Almost brought my, I cuz I, I They don't sell 'em here in Oregon.
Yeah, they sold them in Washington.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
They don't sell, so I had to order 'em from Amazon.
I actually
think, I mean, like we're I, I work in another state, like I one of these days
you have to actually come and pick me up.
Should go to qfc, see if we can do it.
Yeah, there you go.
So I only worked, although 10 minutes away, but it's in Washington, so
I only knew the ruffles ones until I like watching this episode.
I tried the Dutch, I, I don't, I gotta say they're really good.
They're, I mean, I thought maybe I would miss it being crinkled, but No,
they're, they're really good.
Hmm.
I'll have to order some of those as well because I, those
I don't think I've seen down.
No.
Uh, recently on recommendation from one of our listeners tried a masala
chip for the first time and they were
really good too.
Yeah.
I like spice.
I do like masala.
I do too.
Yeah.
Yeah, they were
really good.
I was surprised.
Mm-hmm.
There you, that's my chip
contribution.
Give them what was your, what would be, what would've been
your favorite chip for that?
Was it, I mean, what you agree with everybody else about all dress, but Yeah.
Out of the two, out of the two, uh, recipe or two spice ones,
which one were you there on?
Which one are you more lean on?
Um, it's weird because I, I like, I like ketchup and I like barbecue,
but only in certain quantities.
After a while I get kind of sick of them.
Um, you want some dean?
Oh God, no.
You don't want ketchup chips?
I've had ketchup chip.
Okay.
They were god awful.
Yeah.
So
I'd have to probably say dil pickles, I think.
I think I like dil pickers.
I haven't had any of those, but I would definitely, I, I liked, I like
pickles, uh, and I like chips, so.
Sure.
Throw 'em together.
I'm good for that.
Yeah.
Um.
Next episode, uh, episode two o Koya, um, an Agatha Christie murder
mystery, murder mystery, uh, and taking the piss outta Late Deliveries,
uh, tans is the bestie we all need.
Uh, another longtime friend Casey, uh, joined us for her first time on the show.
Uh, had so much fun laughing and hanging out that I I I have few, just few
memories of this show itself for that one, cuz we just loved hanging out.
Um, so yeah, as, uh, we start with, uh, uh, due to the issue that
we had with Hiccups, uh, Casey.
Oh, we got into a little discussion on how, how to handle those.
I tickled
the roof of my tongue.
That's the top of my tick pate.
I tickled the top of my palate with my tongue.
Say that totally.
Please stop it.
I tickle the roof of my mouth with my tongue Like this.
Like just, just behind your teeth.
It can.
Have you ever tickled that spot?
Mm-hmm.
Usually try it right now.
Everybody's doing out.
Take your tongue and just tickled that Richie part.
No.
Behind your, behind your teeth.
Allen knew
how to do it.
Do it out gently
and slow.
Like fourplay, like I tickles a little bit, right?
Yeah.
Not me, but, so if you go further back behind your pallet, you'll, it'll,
it's like a V that opens up and if you like stroke that it's supposed to.
So you
gotta stroke.
Your brain is like making everything dys with your tongue.
Yes,
we know this.
They're your hiccups.
Of course.
It's how Casey slowly
with your tongue.
What, that's what you're
saying.
What fuck is wrong with.
Yes.
You have to give yourself oral.
Yes.
That's, yeah.
Orally, orally, orally.
Oral.
You have to orally my back.
This is so meta.
It's meta oral.
Any good.
Uh, you just have to No, you have no Erin.
No, no.
It's gotta be dental or else you'll hurt yourself.
You'll hurt your tongue.
I love Casey so
much.
Oh God.
She's going to love that you used that clip.
Oh my God.
And
Erin says, Ms.
Vicky's all dressed are delicious.
So thank you.
Thanks Erin.
And you just happen to get mentioned in that portion.
I hope you've learned to be gentle with your talk.
You.
I mean, yeah.
Casey's awesome.
Casey, she, she's, uh, she's the leader of our takeover crew.
She's been on our podcast a bunch of times.
Actually.
She's, uh, she's the one interviewing us now.
Nope.
Oh, hello.
Okay.
And she's turned the mic around and she's interviewed myself and now Matt,
her and Matt had an interview for four 20 last week.
Oh,
nice.
It's something to listen to.
So she's slowly going through each one of us, uh, to, uh, yeah.
To interview.
Um, yeah, I mean, OK.
Koya, like it is what it is.
It's, it was, it was, uh, Stewart, you know, chewing up scenes.
Mm-hmm.
Which were fun.
Uh, coach is hilarious in this one.
Who, um, the OK Koya scene itself?
You know, when we were talking about it on ours, I wasn't a fan
of the way Wayne and Squirrly dance are kind of kidding those guys.
Whatever.
Uh, it is what it is.
I love the stud finder bit though.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Everyone's got a stud jump you over here.
I'll break her right off.
Yeah.
But, uh, yeah, it was, it was fine.
Like this one was fine.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, we, uh, we also got another, uh, quick side John, uh, into a very
interesting and hilarious incident that happened with Casey while in Sudbury.
All
right.
So, potato, oh fuck.
Hang on.
What are we what?
Potato.
Oh.
Love you.
I
know, I
love me too.
And, and it's a great moment.
Yep.
So this, so what happened was, um, how happened was we were, we were in Sudbury
and we were living our Shorey dreams.
Uh, a few, me and a few of, uh, uh, friends from the, is that fragrance
Shorey game from the universe.
The universe from, yeah, from the universe.
Um, and we, we went up to Sudbury.
We went to a Sudbury Wolves game, which is in the same barn where they film Shorey.
Mm-hmm.
Um, while we're in the, the, the hall, um, where a lot of the shorey scenes
are shot with Laura Moore and all of those folks, um, Max Bfad who plays jj?
Frankie.
JJ is walking by.
Oh.
And up until, and up until that point I'd been fantasizing
about like chirping at him.
But like, you know, like just fucking yelling some shorty shit at him.
But I didn't wanna call him a fucking pizza face or like, you know, shorty
says some really like nasty shit to him.
So like, wait, wait, Dean.
So, so I'm going through it on the way to the barn.
I'm like, I don't know what to say to this guy.
And the moment happens, right?
And he's walking by and I'm like, And he's getting further and further away,
like to the point where he doesn't hear me when I finally yell at the top of my
lungs potato like, do you find potato?
Everyone is looking at me like, what?
I imagine, I think, I think the guy who was walking with Max, who
might be one of the high school hockey players, maybe turned his
head and then kept, and they just.
JJ, max never heard a word.
Like Joey, my friend Joey was standing next to me.
Adrian was there, and everybody's there.
And now we're all like dead.
We're all falling out, pissing ourselves because I just, people must be going, what
the fuck people and what is wrong with, with that bitch American are all potato.
Yeah.
Like fall down.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And I should be fair, I was high at the time, of course.
Um, because it's Canada, because you, as you should be.
Yes.
But yes.
So that's, so now whenever you see potato, all right.
Potato.
That's
what that is.
Very
good.
Oh, so thank you very much Adrian, for bringing that up.
I love Adrian.
Likes to potato.
Adrian likes to pop in here every now and again and give some comments.
And so yeah, that's always fun.
Again, I love Casey.
She's great.
She's pretty
potato.
Potato.
Um, uh, fuck fight Feta.
Tans was the closest to a full score.
She got two, but, uh, Stewart was definitely getting his
ass kicked this episode.
Mm-hmm.
Al you have any other thoughts on, on Okya?
Yeah.
No.
I mean, tennis all the way for sure.
Yeah.
Um, I think there's a, you know, this one here was, there, there was really apparent
some of the restrictions when they were shooting th these two seasons together,
back still kind of during the pandemic.
Yeah.
Especially in, in that church scene.
They were paired off.
Yeah.
Two by two.
Uh, you know, and, and it was just kind of strange to see Tana's
up sitting, be sitting mm-hmm.
Beside, uh, Glen, right up on the altar.
Like, why is she sitting?
It's just, you know, all, there's a lot of things nasty.
But yeah.
I don't know.
It was just kind of strange.
But, uh, I mean, they did the best with what they had, I think.
And, and, uh, I, I, I enjoyed the whole Agatha Christy, all the, the
black and white scenery and stuff.
Mm-hmm.
There's a lot of scene chewing happening there and a lot of different
things that we haven't, we're not used to seeing in letter Kenny, uh,
a lot of quick zoom ins and stuff.
Yeah.
What I, what I really enjoyed was every one of those, um, tropes that's, that
are brought up in the cold open Yep.
Get used throughout the, the episode
and now here.
Cool.
Yeah.
Um, and yeah.
And that's one of the things I've been about all season is all the tropes.
All the tropes hitting on by the numbers.
Yeah.
Um, but yeah.
Uh, Yeah, the, the, uh, the Zooms, um, mm-hmm.
That's has been, they were all great.
Um, especially one that's coming up soon.
But
for me, you know, it it, the way that Gail and Coach were interacting, talking about
the different sex positions like that, I, I fully ended that episode going, like
those two totally hooked up, didn't I?
Like Oh, yeah.
Because coach was very interested and wonderful.
Well,
well, not the first time.
Remember there was a time where, uh, coach was at the bar and she asked
him to dance, and she put his hand on her butt and, you know, and, uh, yeah.
You know, you know, that went, yeah.
Further.
Of course, of course.
I mean, yeah, because it's good Coach.
Coach is, coach is not gonna say no, and Gail is always gonna say yes,
um, unless she uses her safe word.
Um, do
you remember what it is?
Say that one more time.
Yeah.
All right then, uh, scene, uh, scene three.
It's not episode three.
Uh, lost Dog.
Uh, if, if there's anything, if there's anything we, if there's anything
we've learned during all the seasons of letter Kenny taking care of your
dogs, not giving them human names and being on time tops the list.
Mm-hmm.
So, uh, it was fun.
Uh, you had another long time friend having their first
time on the show Trust web.
Uh, we had loads of fun.
Um, I brought up a question about, uh, how Tiara and Truss would've handled a
asking Tiara Andwe, how they would've handled the April May situation.
I have a, I have a question that, um, That I would like both of your opinions on.
Uh oh.
Um, so, uh, Cassie and Tassie Jrs, uh, I, I'll call 'em, uh, April and May.
Um, how would you have handled that if it was you and Riley and Jonesy's situation?
I wouldn't have still been
there when they showed up.
Well, I mean, you didn't know they were gonna show up.
Oh, you mean when they showed up to the gym?
Wouldn't have waited for them.
The boys were there all afternoon waiting for their date and talking
about getting stood up because they had been there waiting.
I would not have waited
that long.
Oh, okay.
But let's say you had waited and, and you told the whole explanation
like Riley and Jonesie did.
Mm-hmm.
How would you handle it once they showed up to the game?
I'd have a scrap.
A scrap.
I'd have a
scrap that's a Derby scrap on site.
I would.
Channel my displeasure into my game.
See?
Yeah.
My, my thought on it was that, you know, I would've told sh Schork that, um,
that these, these are just some really strange chicks and they're, they've
been hounding 'em all the time, so just go chirp at 'em the entire time.
Be as vulgar as possible.
I feel like,
like Surey would've just flirted with them.
Like, I don't see him doing that.
You don't see him.
I know.
May, maybe the other guy, it's more fun for him to chirp at the boys
than it is to chirp at pretty girls.
Yeah,
I mean, I mean, I would pre, I would've pretended I don't care and just say,
these, these chicks are weird and I mean, go chirp at 'em if you want to.
They'd probably like some really weird stuff.
I would go with that if you're gonna try.
Right.
I would, I mean, I'd probably just tell one of the other
guys, you know, when they start chirping me about it going, I
got no idea.
It's all yours.
Go ahead.
The guest.
Get after it.
Yeah, get after it.
Be as disgusting as possible.
I don't think that Riley and Jonesie have thick enough skin to
just let it roll off their back.
No.
There's no way that they could just like, they're sensitive boys, ignore it.
Yeah.
Um, Al do you have any thoughts on that?
What, how would you have handled that situation?
Um,
I, I, I'm gonna tell you the truth, I would've blown off Beer league
and that's what they ended up doing.
Yep.
Yeah.
And they didn't get the girls.
No.
I mean, uh, so in the end they, they, they, they lost out on both there.
Um, really cool thing about the cold open here.
Mm-hmm.
That hockey menu.
Yes.
Uh, you know, probably lost on a lot of people who aren't hockey fans.
Yeah.
Obviously it's Victor's favorite cold open ever.
In Hi.
In the two minutes or however long that scene was, I, I actually counted this
morning when I went, when I watched this, the, the, uh, the season in
preparation for today, 78 hockey puns.
Wow.
Now that's a minimum.
There was probably more that I missed, but there were at least 78 Wow.
Hockey puns in that.
Yeah.
There were probably some that were combined.
Mm-hmm.
Plus, uh, so there's that, um, you know, lot, you know, lots to chew on there.
Uh, yeah.
I mean, and return to the Dicks Love, love that, love seeing that, you know,
dogs are only good for two things for, uh, in the men night community.
Twerk and tweet, twerk.
Uh, tweet.
Yeah.
We do have a dog that
twerks.
We do, we do have a dog that twerks especially, and they almost
called Winter Coat is trying to get
out of her.
Yeah.
And they all almost called Gregory Monster.
Dick in Penn.
Dick.
Yes.
And s t d, uh, Sarah Dick, I think it was supposed to be.
Anyway.
Yeah, this one here was, was a really, this is a strong episode.
I, I, I enjoyed this one quite
a bit.
Yeah.
And, uh, dress had some thoughts on that as well.
Payne took a serious backseat on this episode.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, he was there Yeah.
As some, maybe some sort of
anchor, but, uh, you know, the front section, you know, it was basically,
uh, Glenn and everybody else doing it.
And then there was that
Glen and Rosie.
Yeah.
Glen and Rosie.
And Gwen and Rosie threw out the beautiful, beautifully edited mm-hmm.
Beautifully filmed tracking shot.
Mm-hmm.
Of them walking.
Yeah.
Which, so
cool.
And even then, you know, Wayne's just sort of in the background,
he'll throw a, a one-liner in here
and there, but he absolutely was a secondary character in this episode.
Right.
And yeah.
You know, and
Glen, and more to the point, you know, Rosie, this was really like,
Rosie front and center on an episode, not just, I absolutely love that.
Oh, yeah.
I mean,
because it's,
it's
all about building this
community Yeah.
Of characters that they can draw from.
And in the end, well, you just
put the camera on, uh, what, you know, Jonathan Torrance and Sarah
Wayne Callon, like, get out their
way, can
confirm.
Oh, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
So as fuck, fight further went, uh, Rosie was the clear winner in
this one, April, may, and Shorey all better run, um, because they're
all, they're, we're gunning for 'em.
Uh, so Al now how about you?
Yeah, Rosie, I'm a big fan of Rosie.
I, I really enjoyed also how squirrely Dan.
They put, they stuck him with the, with the skids and, yeah.
Yeah.
And that was a lot of fun to watch.
Uh, him, his discomfort being with the skid.
That was, I thought your last name was Dan.
That's
what you think My first name was Squirrly, but
then he answered his phone.
Squirrly Dan's phone, squirrly Dan speaking and never says anything.
Yeah.
And Anita Dick, I mean.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, Anita.
She was, she was definitely on my list.
She's always on my list.
Tans Anita, Dick.
I think there was one time I did wanna fight Tans, but I, I
don't remember when that was.
That was, I think
that was the, uh, casual misogyny.
Mm-hmm.
When they were actually trying to date.
Yeah, that was me
too.
Like the old
college try where she was making fun of him for the way
he was sitting, crossing legs.
Legs, yeah.
Yeah.
Like I, that's, that's definitely the one where I was like, mm-hmm.
No, we, the fight.
You got any extra insight on this out?
Did
you want to bring up?
No, that's just, that's it.
Um, sts I mean, did you guys know?
I, I since, but I can't remember whether you knew what
s sts meant.
I, my thought on it was, I mean, in context it just
seemed like how hot they were.
Yeah.
So s Steeze, I looked it up.
Yeah.
That's, uh, style at ease.
So basically how people, you know, people's styles when, when it looks
like they're not trying, but they're actually trying secretly, but they're
dressing like they're not, ah, s steeze.
All right.
Then style at ease, like kids
these days with their.
Thanks.
Uh, then we get into episode four, nudes.
Uh, whether it's, uh, handling someone else's nudes or dealing with someone
else's, dealing someone else's drugs, full understandings must be hat.
Uh, it was great having our resident joint Boy slash Chevy Chase back on
the show to get, uh, get completely rude and crude as we talk about nudes.
Uh, and that was, and Renate and Carac, if he didn't know I was talking about, um,
I know that Wayne doesn't have nudes on his phone, but I had some questions about
what he might have us on, on his phone.
And I'm just thinking Wayne has, let's see, uh, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
He has, Wayne has five pictures on his phone.
He's got, he's got Rosie, Katie, Dan, and dairy.
No.
Yeah, Rosie, Katie.
Dan Dairy, stormy and Gus, Dan, and Dairy are one in, one picture, one picture.
Those are the five pictures Dwayne has on his phone.
I bet though I, in my head, I'm, I'm just imagining that he's got a
whole like, screenshot thing of, of like the way that he does have these
special interests of his pocket.
People like Bondar?
No, like Bondar.
Like I bet he has like a whole like, screenshot folder full of
like bondar facts and pictures or something, you know, like, I
don't think it's one picture story.
I think it's 5,000 pictures of all of the dogs on the farm.
This guy was about
to say, I'm gonna get weird with it.
I'm gonna say he's probably got a bunch of like, like an uncomfortable
amount of number of pictures of like, perfectly stacked bales and
I forgot about that.
Yeah.
Like, just like, you know what I mean?
Like, it's like, you know, like, Satisfaction
to, he's so proud of it.
Hell yeah.
Just like,
and he's just like,
he's got video that's, you watch his Instagram, he's got videos of him
stacking hay, perfectly Barley watches
videos of like people doing farm
porn.
People
just shoveling fucking pig pens.
People just fucking stacking gals and bales ch.com.
Oh yeah.
Uh, I don't disagree with
that.
My, yeah, my attitude is not changed about that.
Although I, I do think, um, now that I'm like re-listening to that,
there was, um, the scene where, It was in Influenzas, the scene where
they, they go to the Dick's farm and like, what the fuck are you doing?
Like, I feel like maybe now Wayne looked at him like, I would've watched that.
Like what is there, is there something wrong with that?
Yeah.
Um, and then, uh, Tiara had a query about Gail's nude.
Oh.
Do you think Gail sent dairy the nude after?
Because he's just complaining of not being able to see it.
If she remembered, I think she would.
I think she definitely would.
Yes.
The answer is yes.
Yes.
She, yes she did.
This house is clean.
Oh, the house.
It's clean.
Um, okay.
And then thank you
guys for getting that reference.
Uh, and because this episode, Jim Dickens was both, both literally
and Figura, figuratively, head and shoulders above the rest.
Mm-hmm.
Um, and impressed
Bonnie made, you know, oh, totally.
That that could be, you know, a down the line thing that Yeah.
Cuz she was like, there's men like that still.
Uh, I love that
part.
And the McMurrays are gonna be catching hands, so, uh, so out,
uh, your fuck fight for a winner, uh, or you have a, a fight as well.
Uh, and other thoughts you may have on this episode.
Oh, the
McMurrays for sure.
Mc McMurray.
Fight onsite for, for doing that to poor Dickens.
I mean, he was the only, the was there for a hot up.
Come on.
Um, yeah.
Uh, kudos to the, for the return of Alexander.
Yes.
Um, yes.
It was great to see him.
Uh, roll's performance in this one is probably one of my
favorites in the entire letter.
Ken series of his character, the scene where he's, um, in the basement and
he's trying to convince Stewart to, to admit that cannabis is a drug.
Yep.
And he's way, he's slithering around Stewart while he's sitting
on the chair and whispering into his ear and doing all that stuff.
Amazing physical acting, if any.
Uh, I highly recommend people to take a second
watch.
I think what the thing we said about that is he was like, uh, magenta or riff rap.
Yes.
From, uh, Rocky Horror.
Rocky Horror, yes.
Yeah.
He was so good in that.
Um, Rated for everyone.
Amazing.
E for everyone.
Amazing line.
And did you know that at Italian have, uh, narrow urethra is,
I mean, I didn't know that.
Is is that a real
fact?
Is that true?
I just thought it was something that, you know, Wayne said it so must been true bad
gas travels fast through it through Italy.
Um, yeah,
so, um, so yeah, those are kind of my notes there.
Um, Ari being a drug dealer, that was kind of disappointing, but, uh, he just
wants weed because then, uh, I don't know if he was in this, uh, episode or
the, oh no, it was the next episode.
The hicks referred to him as the Jewish skid.
Yeah.
That new Jewish skid.
I was like, well, I mean, but he's a hockey player.
I don't know.
Just, it was weird that, that suddenly as soon as anyone in town knows he's dealing
and Yeah.
As soon, well, yeah, well as soon as you're, you're dealing, you're
a skid automatically, so Yeah.
Um, next one, episode five, influenzas, uh, with, uh, let's see, enga, yeah.
Engagement Photographers and Influencers.
Invade Letter Kitty while Luciann and Betty, and have to deal with Coach Okur,
uh, Okur, uh, uh, when you have a friend who's not only a letter Kitty Pan, but is
also New York Times bestselling author, you, you get them on your show, uh, for
some, uh, good laughs and Keen Insight.
And David Mack is not only awesome guest, but he's a great writer as seen,
uh, with a few of our table reads.
So, yes.
Um, yeah.
Uh, as kinda like Stuart, I, uh, I posited that, uh, as was stated
early on by Joint Boy, that Alexander is not quite as portrayed Now.
The thing I wanted to bring up about Alexander Yes, real quick was he's not a
slow slur, slow learning cousin that joint boy had him pegged at in the first season.
So right.
He is obviously very smart.
So I just thought, thought, I mean, he did some of the best cold opens.
I mean, remember the one, uh, where he, he shows up and, and he's
talking about the, he has to put together the buck and dough mm-hmm.
For his cousin.
Right.
Well, my cousin's a grmp and his, uh, his Swedish suwat.
Yeah.
And remember when I said he's a grown producer, tw the numbers
reflect that he does kinda get
some of the best runs.
He reflect flag.
He's very sharp.
He is.
He's on it.
So, I mean, he may not be in the best of situations, uh, for himself, but, um, but
he's happy with, with what he does.
Definitely.
You know, he is, he is.
He
is more not, he ashamed to make $10 an hour.
He toilets, he more, yeah.
He is more than content with his lot in life, it seems.
Yeah.
So we can all be so lucky what you do.
You'll never work a daily life.
Precisely.
So I just, I, I do just wanna say something that I did not say during that.
Um, there is a very real chance that he was probably in special ed growing up,
and so he just had that label and nobody really explored it any differently.
Hmm.
Um, that very much is in line with somebody in what I'm guessing is
like, you know, late thirties, early forties, like growing up.
At that time, he would've just been, oh, that's slow learning fella
because they, he had trouble in school, not that he wasn't smart.
Yeah.
Like, probably never even like whatever IQ tests he did just went
on a piece of paper and they saw the discrepancy between the IQ and what
he could do and just wrote it all up.
I
mean, I would say in episode one, season one, episode one,
he was kind of written that way.
I'm guessing that they Yeah.
Have, uh, influenced that character a bit more, but also he
was drunk True in that episode.
True, true.
So I don't think we've seen Alexander drunk since
then.
Yeah.
Yeah, not so much.
Uh, Tiara also brought up a few keen observations that
leads into a conversation about Gail and the McMurray's.
So in, in the scene when Katie, uh, goes to hit on that, that dude in the
bar, um, I love that he, like, she's looking at him like thinking he's
cute, he's there, sit taking selfies, like, you know, he's like doing it for
like Tinder or something like that.
Was what my first friend is his own brand.
Yeah.
Yes.
Um,
getting high on his own supply coach
picked his nose several times during this week episode.
Um, and he just doesn't care.
Right.
Uh, look away, Barb.
This is Rock McMurray and Gail flirting.
Do so.
Um, I mean, I know it wasn't like, yeah, I know it wasn't outright,
but McMurray's face after Gail said, you know, put a finger up her ass.
He, he was like, Ooh, I'm into it.
Like,
well, the thing is, we know
from,
uh, we know they've, they Yeah.
Episode we know they've hook up.
Hey, they've hooked up with her before we know they've hooked up.
I really wanna know how often, like, I wanna know if they're like, fuck buddies.
Um, like I just feel
like no ass play unless I ask for it.
Right.
And I, and I will ask for it.
My say where it is.
Yeah.
Even, uh, that's very memorable.
So, uh, fuck Fight Feta.
Katie, Maryanne and Anita Dick are all getting some hot steamy loving,
uh, the McMurray's dairy and coach Better hide, uh, cuz they got, yeah.
They're all catching it.
Um, al
Yeah.
Uh, Katie has the worst taste in men.
Yeah.
Generally speaking.
Yeah.
Yeah, she likes the self-absorbed type.
Yeah, for sure.
Like if you think about DS and the, the influencer that she was looking
at, like, uh, I think it's easy models.
What, uh, Shep and Kingsley
or whatever.
I think it's because they're easy to drop.
I
guess.
I guess, yeah.
Well, um, and Dean, you actually pointed out something today
when we did our rewatch that I don't think we noticed before.
Yeah.
When she joined him at the table, they took selfies or they
took a, he was taking selfies
with her.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Usy Sie.
Um, I'm too old to say that.
It sounds weird.
That's an
usy.
It's mental.
I
thought you were calling her a hussy for a second
if she owns it.
Sure.
I mean, yeah.
I don't mind.
That's not necessarily about, I don't mind.
Uh, my only other thing here, I mean, it was, it was a fun episode.
Yeah.
Picks the charcuterie.
Yeah.
That's the summer soft, just waiting.
Yeah.
I love that scene.
So understated that I'm sure a lot of people watched it cuz I
think I missed it the first time.
Well, right at the end, do I see like when, when Katie leaves, they, they take
a bite of whatever they were holding.
Oh, were they waiting?
And then I rewound, I'm like, oh.
Oh, the whole time they were like waiting to to,
to eat their wait.
Waiting for Katie to end.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because the other thing on that one was the, the, the zoom on Katie,
well, what are you gonna do now?
And they zoom in, compete, and there's that big pregnant pause.
And Wayne goes, how?
How?
Yeah.
I mean, cuz right after that you're expecting the montage.
Yeah.
Uh, compete.
And I believe in the, in the, well not, I believe, I know in the d in the
nudes, uh, episode, they do that zoom in when Rosie says vigilante justice.
Mm-hmm.
I've used it quite a bit in this season.
Yeah.
When they were going to each group, um, and the, uh, in, with the, the,
uh, episode two oh koya where they, you know, Glenn called and like they
look at the phones and they zoom in.
Yeah.
So yeah.
Quite, quite a few times this season.
Um, so who's, who's on your, uh, your fuck fight further for this one?
Oh, I mean, fuck, you know what, um, I, I really enjoyed Maryanne and
Lucianne the, that haw thing too.
And, and, and, uh, um, oh, Tessa Banham
and, oh, I forget the other Sam Joe
Small.
Yeah.
Sam Joe Small.
That was so fun.
And everyth, like Tessa could not let it go without ever saying most silver.
Yeah.
Just, uh, hilarious.
Oh, I've
got a hu I I've got the hugest crush on Tesson.
Good lord.
She's got the, she got the little chin dimple too.
Yeah.
Scene was hilarious.
I love coach in that, so I give him a, a fur for that alone.
Um, and fight, I mean, uh, I felt so, oh, oh.
I felt so bad for that one guy.
The, the, the, the couple, the, the third, the last couple that was
having, being photographed and he was being asked to do all, you could
tell he, well, first of all, Mr.
Neck tattoo does not want to look cute.
Right.
Um, Mr.
Neck tattoo, who was wearing like Birkenstocks and socks, but whatever.
Yeah.
When he looks over to the, the Hicks and they just kind of
shake their heads, like they're
so disappointed.
And one of the things, one of the things I noticed about him, he looked very similar
to one of the guys in Glen's porno Mag.
Mm-hmm.
Wh which I, I, cuz I first noticed the guy in Porno Mag and
I said, he looks a bit like Tyson.
And then I said, this guy looks a bit like Tyson.
So now I have to go back and see, was it the same guy?
Did they like take his picture and Photoshop him on?
Or maybe he is a gay porn actor.
I don't know, maybe.
Anyway,
ed to him, just because I felt for him, fight all the photographers and, uh, fuck.
I mean, uh, I can't, I, I don't know.
I don't know who fucking this one,
but, uh, Katie got one from me.
Yeah.
I, I, so Katie was across the board, which is, you know, for,
for tr that's very surprising.
True story.
Um, but yeah.
And then Anita Dick, of course.
Oh yeah.
So from there we go on to, uh, the Degens.
So, um, Jiv and Pete has reached the end of Wayne's Rope while everyone
else is worried about being that guy.
Of course, no season of how are you now?
It could be complete with other VI visits for a well known and highly regarded anti.
Awesome.
Um, I had a question about this episode and Awesome.
Had to answer right there.
I know.
Uh, but yeah, why did the Hicks not go to the birthday party?
I mean, I'm sure there are because
Wayne just did something he had been trying to avoid doing the entire
episode, and he wasn't in the moody mood to go to some Revel about it.
Good.
You don.
That's how we gotta pop up at that time.
I, uh, I, I get that perspective, but I feel, I feel
disappointed that they didn't go.
Um, I mean that's because I completely agree with Riley and Jones.
They've quite, a lot of
shit's happened.
They've quite often had fights and ended up back at my
deans.
Yep.
It's about an issue.
It's, it happened often.
And, and this is not the first time they've fought the Deit.
Mm-hmm.
No.
But this is the first time that Wayne has had to give up on a
friend whom he was trying to help.
Okay.
That's, that's a good thought.
All right.
You know, like Pete literally came with his hat in his hand into his house, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
And asked him for help.
And Wayne did his best to help this guy who was his friend, but, His friend was
just not willing to put the effort in.
So Wayne's got to deal with his behavior, and it is his responsibility
now because he's the one who hired him.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So yeah, that was, I thought that was, that was an interesting take
that I didn't even considered.
Yeah.
I agreed.
And, and she brought that up with us too, and I get it.
And I, I mean, and that did make it, make that last scene make sense.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I think where, where, I mean, kind of maybe because of the
season felt kind of short Yeah.
Was in, on a show like this where, I mean, it's, it's very much, you know,
lots of sketches and stuff and, and, and some great character development.
But in, I didn't, I don't think they developed that relationship
between Jive and Pete and the Hicks.
Enough Mm.
To make that last scene land Yeah.
The way they wanted it to.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like, I get it cuz I've given up on friends who acted exactly like j Pete did.
You, you helped them, you helped 'em, you helped them, but it
was, it's never their fault.
And in the end you just gotta cut ties.
Right.
Yeah.
You just gotta do that and it feels like shit.
Yeah.
I get it.
I don't think they developed that enough to earn the heavy ending
that they, they were looking for.
Right.
But that's my only kind of, you know, uh, flaw in, in that episode.
Cause I thought it was a beautiful episode.
Hmm.
Like some of the thoughts.
It was gorgeous and, and, uh, I loved all the doc chirps.
I loved all the sunglass.
It was a very funny episode.
It was, and in the end you wanted, I I was, I wanted it to land.
The way they intended it to, but it, it, it just felt a little bit short
and, and yeah, going back and watching it today, I did notice something that
I hadn't noticed before where they're all sitting at the produce stand,
Dan is, he's like shaking his head.
Yeah.
And so, yeah.
That, which made it even more Yeah.
Understandable.
So, yes.
Uh, awesome.
Is completely right there.
Uh, I, you
know, they all, I think you're right too though, Al it does feel like they
wanted it to be a heavy feeling and it just gonna missed just a little bit.
Yeah.
Up until
now, the heavy stuff has landed so well.
Yeah.
And in every other, uh, season, every other episode when they've
wanted it to, I think it's, they've, they've succeeded in this one here.
And it, it might've just been, you know, they, they picked up the whole Jed story,
like, Three episodes into this one, right?
If they maybe had started it a little sooner, like if they were able to tie
it in a bit, like from episode one, maybe like, yeah, we remember back
when they, when they, you know, back in what season two or whatever, when
they're saying Jiv, Pete's a good guy.
He's a really good guy.
Like we, we remember that.
But that was a long time ago now and forever.
He's been a degen since then, right?
Mm-hmm.
You know, I mean, Wayne even beat him up for, for ca calling Katie, like, yeah,
they've already had these fights, right?
Uh, so to me, oh, you hadn't given up, given up on him yet.
Okay.
So you need to earn that idea because up until now I thought, oh,
you've already gi given up on him.
He's hanging out with the guy with the three names, Oron,
Allister, or Westwood.
Yeah.
He's already hanging out with them, Courtney, so he must, um, anyway,
uh, yeah, I think that was the only thing, like, uh, they don't, they
seldom fall short with their heavy.
Scenes and I, I just thought in this case they, they did.
Yeah.
Um, I mean, and the, one of the things that I was wondering, um, I brought up
today is, and the answer is probably no, but I was wondering if Pete was doing
that to get back at what Katie did to him.
Um, you know, if there was that, if he had a bit of a long game plan.
But I mean, I don't really think he, no, he thinks that way.
I
mean, I think, I think they were trying to do that kind of arc of,
uh, you know, redemption for j Jiv Pete, or failed redemption.
Mm-hmm.
But again, yeah, the whole Katie, you know, kicked to the nu nuts like
nudes was too fresh in everyone's mind, mind like that happened.
That season.
Right.
Or a couple of episodes before.
So again, how is he not a
degen?
If that's the reason, which is another thing Dean brought up, if that's a
reason for j Pete to come to their door and basically like, okay, yeah, I, I
can see that I am this shitty person.
Help me.
Mm-hmm.
Like, that's fine.
But it still didn't, there was not enough in between that and the ending
for it to feel like he was trying and then slowly giving up, which is what I
think they were trying to, uh, because at the beginning he was like full in
like doing all the things sweeping up, even like, you know, anytime when anyone
walked by helping Katie out with the, with all the influences.
Yeah.
But
that,
like, if they had showed that like over the course of a period of time instead
of the next episode, he's fucking up.
Yeah.
I think that that would've been, that would've hit a little different.
Yeah, and I'm never, I'm never gonna like, uh, uh, criticize a comedy for
missing on a, on a, a heavy scene, right?
Like if it's funny.
It's funny.
So whatever they tried, they tried to go a little serious here.
That's fine.
But, uh, yeah, overall I, I still gave the season afresh.
Yeah.
But yeah, that, that, that felt a li felt a little short.
And I mean, I'll, I'll, I'll rely on what Victor's often says.
If I had to have somebody explain it to me, then it wasn't quite, it didn't
land the way it should have.
Yeah.
I mean, cuz I will say that because there was some heavy
stuff in Shorey, which all landed.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, yeah.
I mean, there was no questions about it.
So, uh, we know they have the, the capacity for that and I
mean, and it's happened bef Yeah.
Like you said, it's happened before in letter Kenny.
So Yeah.
That's, so yeah, it's, uh, I think, yeah, it definitely could have been done better.
Um, was it bad?
Not at all.
Um, so yeah, I had a lot of fun with that.
Um, one of the, uh, one of the things also that I liked going
back and watching it today was the synced up music during the fight.
Yes.
That's like one of my favorite
so, and a great song.
What
a fucking great song.
Yeah.
It's, I mean, it's, it's, it's not, it's the antithesis of a fight song.
Mm-hmm.
But it's, yeah.
It's very, it's very poignant.
Yeah.
And that moon lid drive back in the back of the pickup truck mm-hmm.
After the fight was beautiful.
Like, kudos to Billy Buttrey for that.
Yep.
Uh, and, and yeah, even just the difference in seeing the,
the, the produce stand at
night in the dark.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, I mean, when I saw it I'm like, this means something here.
And I j again, I didn't get it.
Yeah.
You know, until Awesome.
Explained it.
So Yeah.
Awesome.
Picks up on that shit.
Yeah.
I love that.
Uh, so one other thing, one other clip from the episode, uh, Tiara spotted that
Wayne had some growth over the season.
I love it.
Um, uh, Wayne realizing his joke wasn't funny.
That's right.
So good.
Harkins back to the, uh, Uh,
the, the, the Florida seminal vesicles one.
Yes.
Florida State seminal Les seminal vesicles.
But this time, instead of kind of getting upset that they didn't laugh,
he was like, well, that one didn't hit.
Guess not.
I feel like he's, you know, he's matured in his humor where he's like, okay, fine.
That one didn't work.
Let's move on instead of getting upset about it, which is huge
growth for somebody sometimes.
Yeah.
Especially my poor little goober son just wants to be funny and
nobody's doing him an inch.
I'm like, damn it.
I thought I was Okay.
Fine.
He's already learned that It's tough sledding up there for a comedian.
True story.
Oh, yeah.
So, yeah, that was, uh, yeah, I, I, I agree with that.
You know that.
Mm-hmm.
He's, uh, he's, he's, he's had some growth since
then.
Yes.
Sure.
Watching that this morning.
I, I, I, I thought back to Tiara's comments on your episode about that.
I'm like, yeah, okay.
I didn't never notice that the first time, but yeah, you're right.
The last time he kind of sulked and then he Yeah.
Hit the whole Florida state seminal vesicles thing
was Yeah.
I mean, even
this, he's still salt in this one, but he didn't like little bit bring it up Blake.
Mm-hmm.
It's
like, well, but I mean, he and he had a sulk about, uh, when he was going
through the tropes about you bitch.
Yes.
Who's the bitch now?
And
Katie was like, I don't, yeah.
He's
like, bows his head and walks back.
Uh, so fuck.
Fight fir on this.
We all wanted to jump Dr.
McDavid.
Yes.
And all wanted to kick j Pete's ass.
Of course.
Yes.
Oh yeah.
Easy
al.
Yeah.
J Easy Jiv and Pete needed to get his ass kicked.
Um, yeah, she was kind of acute, the, the eye doctor, so why not?
And, uh, ferta, I mean, Wayne, because I've been there.
Yeah.
I've been there having to give up on a friend.
Yeah.
I I I know what that's like.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, it was, it was a, it was disappointing, I guess.
Mm-hmm.
You know, I'm not mad.
I'm disappointed.
Yeah.
So, but yeah.
That's, that's the season.
What, what are you looking forward to in, uh, season 12?
Uh,
you know, this season felt like I, I wouldn't mind to see like, to, to,
to give more weight to this season.
Uh, driving Pete, trying to, trying again, re trying again.
Yeah.
I wouldn't mind seeing that.
I don't know if that has to happen right away in season 12,
or if they can wait a while.
But I'd like to see some relationships blossom here.
I mean, unfortunately it looks like Gail and Dickens are done, uh, which is too
bad cuz I really like those two together.
But yeah, I'd love to see some, some relationships there.
Somebody for Katie maybe, or Bonnie or, or something.
That'd be kind of fun.
Um, here's something, and I mean, I hope they have it in their long-term goals
be to, to cause some conflict or some, some, some stress in these storylines.
And because it, for me, the fights have become really predictable.
I hate to say it, but Wayne has to lose a fight.
Wayne has to lose a fight to somebody if to, to get some Dr.
To create some drama.
Should,
should it be someone we already know or.
That's a great question.
I feel like in the past he's already almost lost to, uh, the,
the head degen there, the four
name, aal, Allister, Orson, Westwood, Yates.
Okay.
Thank you Dean.
I'll never get that.
Yep, me neither.
So it could be him, like, cuz then we can see, we can watch Dan,
uh, Wayne deal with the follow.
And it could be that, you know, he, he, I guess we kind of did that when, when Tyson
knocked him out with the sucker punch.
Mm-hmm.
So I thought it happened once before, but.
I think he's gotta lose it, which, yeah, no, it's not.
He's gotta lose it.
A legitimate fight and then have like, let's see how he deals
with that.
Yeah.
He's had some close ones for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And he's been bailed out by, by dairy a few times, you know, fights.
Yeah.
One thing that I, I think that could make that interesting is if
there's a fallout between either him and dairy or him and Dan.
Um, yeah.
And having them fight each other.
Yeah.
I feel like though, that like, so I feel like they kind of avoid
serious topics that aren't funny and they're, I I, I have a hard time
figuring out how they could make, I.
Of a rift between him and Dan or dairy.
Funny.
Mm-hmm.
Whereas if he loses to a, you know, somebody, uh, either an outsider
or to Oliver, whatever his name is,
Alison something.
Orson Westwood Gates.
I liked
Oliver though, that, that it, we totally fits the first
time I said, I said Alison, so
I think I, I, I stumbled through his name so poorly that I, I, I've just
become gun shy, but you know what I mean?
Like Yeah.
I feel like it, it'd be hard for them.
It would be too heavy if it was between him and one of his buddies.
I think it need, it needs to be a com, either a complete
stranger or one of the degens.
Yeah.
I, I, hmm.
I don't
know.
Yeah.
That would make it interesting.
Anyway, maybe, uh,
what's his name?
Um, fuck, uh, Bradley, maybe Bradley comes back and they get fight.
Oh, that's for some reason.
Yeah.
Jesus.
My
brain was just like, oh man, he's, and that's gonna cause
problem with Rosie again.
Right.
But he's, he's too big a star now.
I don't think he'll ever come back athletic
Kenny.
Too bad.
Yeah.
I, yeah.
Like who else, who else from like a past season that we haven't seen in a while
would be cool to see come back, other than the student Devin that we'll never see.
Can you imagine?
Or Devin comes back as, you know, he's pumped Devin, but
like Devin is now a woman.
Like, I'd be okay with that kind of, cuz we haven't had any of that
representation on letter Kenny.
Yeah.
That's certainly wouldn't fight
him.
No, Wayne wouldn't fight her, but maybe Katie would.
No.
Yeah.
But yeah, I, I, I know I just, the only problem with that is trans, uh, uh,
uh, I non-trans person playing a trans
person.
Yeah.
No, I wouldn't want the actor, I wouldn't want the same actor to come back.
Mm.
Like, I mean, if, if, if I'm dreaming here, let's just go with Jamie
Clayton because I'm in love with her.
And I, maybe that could be the theory of, uh, gay.
Gay is actually, actually Devin
isn't, isn't, um, Oh, what's, what's his name now?
Um, Ellen Page.
What, what, what?
Elliot Uh, Elliot, yeah.
Elliot isn't Elliot Canadian?
I mean, maybe he, he can come on.
I don't know.
Uh, but,
uh, I mean, he is doing action scenes in Umbrella Academy, so Yeah.
Maybe
he's biggest star.
He's kinda tiny though.
Yeah.
Probably not any bigger than rolled
prob Prob actually probably would be about right.
Yeah.
Anyway, like, yeah, just in terms of keeping things interesting that might,
I mean, always, you know, keep the funny, but, uh, if you wanted to like
an interesting storyline, it would be, oh, Wayne dealing with not being the
toughest guy in letter Kenyon anymore.
So that'd be kind of in
Interesting.
Well, another, yeah, another thing that could be interesting that
would kind of be a weird rift is if Katie and Rosie ended up having,
Mm.
So
an issue.
Yeah.
And then Wayne has to either Yeah, choose the woman he loves or his sister.
Ooh.
I mean, the way they could do that.
Uh, unfortunately it's a, it's a trope.
Yeah.
The, you love t tropes would be a misunderstanding.
Where Wayne, where Katie thinks maybe Rosie stepping out on Wayne,
he's, she's not really Yeah.
Of what you spin through with my friend and Yeah.
Oh yeah.
It's very, she sees her kinda thing,
but, you know, it could maybe work.
I don't know.
She sees her hanging out with another guy who's actually her, another cousin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then Wayne's note about it all along, right.
That would, it'd be like the nudes episode where, uh, like he walks in and sees them
together and he's like, ready to fight, and she's like, have you met my cousin?
Like, what, what is wrong?
Why are you
upset?
Yeah.
That, that would be interesting
for sure.
Yeah.
I, you know, they got so many things that they can do.
I, yeah, I do, I do often wonder, because we're, we are 11 seasons in, if, if
he's, if there's an end in sight Yeah.
That's in their mind.
In the not to, in the, not, well not in the distant distant, but in the
not too distant future, you know, like another three or four seasons maybe.
They just, I kinda wonder.
That would
be sad.
Yeah, it would be.
Yeah.
But, you know, there's, I mean, he, he's, he's had success with
Shorey, which I know he loves.
Um, I, I do wonder if maybe he's got another spinoff in mind.
Mm-hmm.
Um, you know, I would, I would love to see, like I've always said, a Rez spinoff.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, with Tan more tanis is always good.
So Yeah.
And that could definitely link up with Shorey.
Mm-hmm.
Um, so yeah.
Lots of good things that could happen.
I mean, you know, I know he doesn't want, he definitely doesn't want to give up on
letter Kenny until he's, I'm, I'm sure, I'm sure he has probably an end in sight.
He, I mean, I don't think he goes anywhere without a plan, so, well
not, I mean, him giving up but also crave, I mean, letter Kenny is still,
you know, craves flagship show.
True.
Maybe, you know, uh, they've added a lot of stuff to it, but in terms
of crave original content mm-hmm.
Uh, very little Beats Letter Kenny still, or, or Shorey now.
So yeah, very true.
Kenny's pretty shocked if they not, not let him quit or end it, but be
be like, Hey, come on, if you, you know, how about another season or two?
It's, yeah, it's gonna end up being like supernatural, you know?
I
was just thinking that.
I was like, this is the next supernatural where we keep getting spinoffs,
but the main show just never dies.
Well, they, they kept trying to spin off Supernatural and all of them failed.
Um, The
one, whatever one is happening right now, apparently is doing pretty good though.
But I haven't watched anything.
Yeah.
The, it's the prequel stuff.
Yeah.
But yeah, I, I don't know if that's, is that still going on?
Did we ever actually finish the super?
We had, we had one season left, I think.
Okay.
That's
a hard one to get back into when it's been
so long.
I'm probably gonna have to watch the last three just to remember, or more.
That was a great
show.
Yeah.
We just went, went through that with Mrs.
Maisel.
When, when, when that season started, we're like, how did the last season end?
Can you remember?
And that was only
like a year ago.
So what, what are you watching now that's not letter Kenny related.
Oh.
Um, well, I mean, we, we, Mrs.
Maisel, um, Barry's coming back soon.
So looking forward to Barry.
Uh, you like that one, right, Dean?
Yeah.
I
Oh, it's a lot fun.
I, uh, yeah, I think I w where I was last year, when the, when the, is that the
second season or third season came out?
Last year?
Um, I was just, I was not in a place to watch it.
Yeah.
So, uh, cuz I know cuz of the, of Barry himself and my, where I was.
So I knew I, it was not something I was ready to hand.
Listen, watch at that moment, I, it's, and it's a fantastic show.
It's so
funny.
Yeah.
It's so, no, no whole Hank is one of my favorite characters on TV right now.
He's so good.
I, I, you know, and, uh, Henry Winkler.
Oh, I know.
Brilliant.
So, yeah, it's a great cast and I mean, I, yeah, I hear what you're saying.
So hopefully you're in a spot to pick that up again cuz it's, uh, I'm looking
for, and I think this might be the last season, so, uh, looking forward to seeing
how they Yeah, I think I heard that.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Uh, but yeah, I don't know.
I'm not watching anything.
Well, we just finished, uh, a poker face, which is a lot of fun.
I wanna watch that.
That's like female Colombo.
Uh, he's, she's great.
She's so good, uh, in it.
And, uh, yeah, that we enjoyed that one.
Um, yeah, I can't think of uh, anything else right now, but
yeah, we're back on Ted Lasso.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, of
course.
We have watched
Ted Lasso the most up to date.
We have not watched the last
episode yet.
Yeah.
I haven't watched any, any of this season yet.
Okay.
Where I'm waiting for it to end so that we can get it.
Cause uh, yeah, I don't wanna have to wait.
I had a
friend that I hung out with yesterday who got mad at me cuz I said I
hadn't watched the most recent.
I'm like, I haven't watched it.
Yeah.
The last of us, which we finished.
Yeah.
It was amazing.
Yeah.
Uh, if you ever played the game, it was.
No.
Excellent.
The game is no,
but I mean, I, I've heard so many amazing things about it, so I'm so tempted just to
watch it because I hear it's amazing, so
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
It's awesome.
Um, it's really heartfelt, uh, sticks true to as much of the game as it can.
I mean, they could have had the o the only thing I would ding it
for is not having enough zombie.
Yeah.
Or because
he can't fight them every five minutes like you do in the video games.
Right.
I mean, so yeah, they had to tone it down just because of that, but they
could have used more a little bit.
There were, there were a couple
episodes where it was like there was
none.
Yeah.
I'm becoming more, more and more of a fan of, uh, Pedro Pasco.
Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah.
I just watched,
don't watch Mandalorian personally,
but like No, I, it wasn't even that.
It was, uh, um, the Nicholas Cage.
Yes,
yes.
Oh,
I love that movie.
Massive.
So good.
Massive, uh, massive weight.
The unbearable weight of massive Italian.
Yeah.
There.
Yeah.
So funny.
And Pedro Pascal, he steals every scene.
Yeah.
He's, I was watching this thing the other day where it was, um,
Nick Cage and Peter Pa Pascal were being interviewed and mm-hmm.
Nick was just talking about his awe of Peter Pascal and
he's just like, oh my God.
Like, and you know, he's, he was talking about how he didn't have to
act much in that sh in that movie because that was how he genuinely felt
really getting to work with Nick Cage.
Yeah.
Like, I mean, Nick Cage is just being Nick Cage in that right cage.
Well,
he's more Nick Cage than Nick.
Yeah.
A Nick Cage plus
Nick Cage plus.
Oh yeah.
And I love, I am absolutely a Nick Cage fan.
It does not matter how terrible the movie is.
I will love it if he's in it.
Yeah.
Uh, you might appreciate this at work we have, uh, you know, these team
groups, chat groups or whatever, uh, and one of them is a B movie club.
Yes.
And, and the biggest, uh, everyone in it is a huge fan of Nick Cage movies like The
Cheesiest, the Be the Cheesier the better.
Right?
They, they love anything Absolutely.
That he puts out.
He puts a
hundred percent in every single movie he's in.
It doesn't matter if it is the worst script in the world or
if it's, you know, kick ass.
Like yeah, he will put that same amount of effort into, so I'm street bad guys.
Well, he can't, like, cuz the CGI is so bad.
Oh yeah.
I'm looking forward to that vampire one that, yeah, it's great field.
Wanna watch that?
Manfield him and, and, uh, Nick Nicholas, is it Nick Holt or something like that?
He holt something like that.
Nicholas Holt.
He is amazing.
Uh, I, well, I mean, I, I recommend the great, if you don't mind a
period comedy, uh, but it, it's, he's really good in that Nicholas Holt.
Um, so, uh, if you like, uh, it's about the Russian, uh,
Oliar, uh, like, uh, royalty or whatever, and he plays, um, okay.
A Russian ruler and, and what's her name?
Uh, I forget her name.
El Fanning.
Is it?
Yeah.
Okay.
I think
that was the only thing I knew about it was El Fanning was in it.
Yeah.
That's why I'm
looking it up.
Oh.
But he's
in it.
He plays a horrible, horrible character in it, but a hilariously
horrible character in it.
And, uh, anyway, so I became a big fan of him in that.
So now seeing him with Nick Cage and, and Renfru is, Renfield is, um, yeah.
I can't wait.
Nice.
Yeah,
he was the, uh, he was the guy in warm bodies.
That's
what I remember him from.
Yeah.
I, it was, it surprised me when I found out he was British.
Yeah.
Oh, he is not British and warm bodies.
He doesn't, no, he doesn't.
Well, he is a zombie.
He's just a zombie.
He doesn't speak out.
He doesn't have a lot.
He talks in, it's the voiceover.
Yeah.
Oh.
But yeah.
No, I don't think he was British, but affects an American actor in that one
and, you know, and then, and X-men.
Yeah.
He's a
really great actor.
He's got a huge, like, a great future in front of him.
And I think, uh, Yeah.
Agreed.
More people
can see him.
Yeah.
He, uh, I don't remember the first time I saw him.
Um, wasn't warm bodies.
No.
It was something before
that.
Well, so this isn't the first movie he's been in with Nick Cage.
Oh.
Oh, that's probably, he played Nick Cage's, uh, son,
I think in Weatherman or Yeah.
Really?
He was a child
in that movie.
Yeah.
Um, because that was a while ago.
Yep.
So there you go.
There's your fun fact
about him.
Cool.
All right then.
Yeah.
The only other thing I'm looking forward
to, oh, he was about a boy, boy.
He, the, the Hugh Grant movie about a boy.
He was the boy.
Yeah.
He was about a
boy, boy.
He was about
a boy, boy.
I didn't know how
else to say it, but I had a boy, boy.
Such a boy.
A good boy.
Such a good boy.
Such a boy.
Oh man.
Yeah.
The only thing, see, I'm looking for, there's a couple things
that they're rapping or they're gonna be putting out this year.
I mean, the second season of reacher, I'm really looking forward
to.
Mm-hmm.
Oh yeah.
I'm looking forward to that too.
Are they doing another peacemaker or not?
I love.
I hope so.
That was fun.
Well, with was
such a huge hit, like I think the issue is right now, I mean, I, I think
they want to, the issue is HBO O Max is now becoming Max, and that's who,
and so no longer Warner Brothers now.
It's owned by Discovery.
So I, I don't know what the hell they're doing.
I'm pretty much gonna, you know, if, if I'm gonna watch it, I,
it'll be a torrent thing, so.
Yeah.
Oh, they have to bring it back though.
Cause that was brilliant.
Oh, the dance.
I love the fucking dance.
Yeah, no,
to watch that opening again.
Yeah.
So good.
I mean, yeah.
I, I had no, I idea that John Cena was, was gonna be that
great at Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I, yeah,
a agreed, I thought I was gonna end up just, I mean, hating it or be bored
and like, on my phone the whole time.
But I loved it.
To be
fair.
To be
fair, we did see him in, uh, psych a couple of times playing Jules's brother.
True.
I forgot about that.
So, yeah.
What is it about, uh, these summer wrestlers that they, they turn
out to be really charismatic and really good, you know, character
actors.
He's acting, they've been acting for so long, just physically
don't himself.
Seriously.
Right.
Like the rock was, can't take themselves seriously.
Yeah.
But the Rock seems to have, uh, made a bad name for himself as of, uh, black Adam.
So
made up.
Would
you?
I don't know.
Well,
he's, he's, he's kind of, I think
his comedy movies do better than his.
Well, he, I, no, he, but he had some, he had some issues that he kind of made, oh.
Instead of making it, you know, behind the scenes type of thing, he, he definitely
went live about any issues he had.
Okay.
Um, you know, but, so he didn't keep
himself quiet when, when
things were, so, like the, the plan was that the, there, hi, black Adams main
enemy was Shazam and he wanted to be.
Superman.
Right, I remember that.
So, um, and so he kind of forced that.
Um, and so there was, there, yeah.
So, okay.
Yeah, that was the issue.
And, and then because of that, it kind of fucked up the second Shazam movie.
Uh, there was a whole bunch of crap with that.
And so, yeah.
I think,
uh, somebody ruined that movie.
Well talking.
Yeah.
I think, yeah, I think there was a bit of both in there.
Yeah.
Okay.
So still shocked not
Jewish.
I don't, it's so weird.
Yeah.
I, because I think were, I'm
just shocked that he's a Joe Rogan fan.
Well,
that's too bad.
Chuck was so great.
We just did a rewatch not that long ago, and it was just so, it was still just a
greatest show.
Yeah.
I mean, I know he's, he keeps talking about, Getting the band
back together and doing for Chuck.
Yeah.
Really?
Oh yeah.
He, he wants to, he, he's been working on that for a long time,
trying to get it happen again.
I would watch that.
I would watch.
Yeah.
I love Chuck.
Chuck was so great.
Yeah, so great.
I mean, I'm just a big Sarah fan.
It's all watching
Yvon Husky.
Oh, dead.
Yeah.
They could leave out Adam Baldwin out of it though.
Yes, yes, yes.
He's a little, they're they're coming together for his funeral.
How's that?
That I'm all for that.
Yeah.
And they can bring, bring his daughter back.
She's, yeah.
But she's married to Morgan.
Yeah.
And, uh, Chuck is married to Sarah.
Mm-hmm.
And wait, he, at the end of the series, didn't he like,
have memory wipe or was it her.
I can't.
Oh, oh yeah.
It was her.
I think it was her.
Okay.
So yeah, they're, they're like, yeah.
He
basically
make her fall in love with her.
Uh, make her fall in love with him again.
Yeah.
I remember now.
No, just get David Mack to write the script.
Good.
Yeah.
David, get on that.
Right?
Maybe that's the thing we should do.
Table reads of Chuck.
Yeah.
There's few char fewer characters Who's gonna, uh, who's gonna be Big Mike?
Oh man.
Oh, it would be Brian Tan.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, that's perfect.
Yeah, that would be fun.
Oh God, I just saw it.
Oh
boy.
Yeah.
No, not, not right now, please.
Just
got too many, too many things in the Hopa Uhhuh.
This job lasts another like seven weeks.
I, I don't need anything until like three weeks into summer vacation.
Yeah.
Oh man.
Uh, anything else you wanna chat about before we, uh, Before we, no,
put a, put a bow on season 11 here.
Thank you for having me on.
Of course.
Thanks for,
