This episode, Colin Everett asked Hunter if they could do the classic SCTV sketch, "Garth & Gord & Fiona & Alice" (1982). Hunter said sure, so this episode is about that (and jobs! Lots of jobs!) But naturally they talk a lot about SCTV itself, its legacy, and where that legacy stands now. They also talk about the film the sketch is based on-- "Goin' Down The Road"-- which surprisingly has not been covered on this show before. Ummmm, what else.... They talk real Maritime Canadian history, specifically the "maritime migration", which occurred in the '60s, which influenced the film, which influenced the sketch. It all ties together. And Colin talks some about being from Moncton.
