Schitt with Money S1E5: The Cabin
Welcome back to Schitt with Money! Peita and Emma are diving headfirst into one of the cringiest (and most hilarious) episodes of Schitt’s Creek yet — The Cabin. From surprise sexcapades to game night meltdowns, this episode delivers big on awkward family moments, chaotic romantic getaways, and a few unexpected life lessons too.
In This Episode:
💋 The ultimate horror story – David walks in on Johnny and Moira. Trauma ensues. But in true Johnny Rose fashion, he insists they talk about it. No thank you, sir.
🪵 Wrong cabin, wrong time – Johnny’s desperate for a romantic escape. But Roland’s directions are… less than helpful. Cue cabin mix-up, suit-ripping, and uninvited commentary from Bob and Gwen (who are apparently just sitting there?!).
🔐 Johnny’s on a mission (for locks) – Determined to avoid future trauma, Johnny seeks out door locks. But Alexis proves no lock is Rose-proof.
🎲 Game night gets real – David wants rules. Stevie wants vibes. Everyone’s drunk. It’s chaos, and we love it.
📱 Where are their phones?! – We’re just saying, Google Maps could’ve prevented all of this.
Schitt We Learned:
🙅♀️ Sometimes it’s okay to accept help. Even if it’s from Roland. Maybe.
🧠 Self-awareness is sexy. Alexis might need constant attention, but at least she knows it.
🎮 Game night reveals everything. Are you a chill, “it’s just for fun” type? Or a “draw four and perish” energy? Either way… we see you.

Transcript
What do you get when you mix Schitt's Creek?
Speaker A:A financial adviser and an accountant.
Speaker A:Well, a podcast, apparently.
Speaker A:We're Peter and Emma and together we're re watching Schitt's Creek, obsessing over its brilliance and sneaking in some unexpected money lessons.
Speaker A:Welcome to shit with.
Speaker A:Hello, folks.
Speaker A:We are back for episode five.
Speaker A:This is so exciting, particularly as this episode gives us a bit of everything, right?
Speaker A:Romance, horror, sibling rivalry, and somehow Roland making things even more uncomfortable than they.
Speaker B:Were to begin with.
Speaker B:So awkward.
Speaker A:Before we hit record, I've just got to start.
Speaker A:Before we hit record, we were both talking about the cringe in this episode.
Speaker A:And we both, as it turns out, have a very funny reaction to situations like this.
Speaker A:I was sharing with you that often I have to look away.
Speaker A:Like if somebody's like, if I'm mortified for them, I feel so bad for them.
Speaker A:I just can't watch, you know, my husband's like, what are you doing?
Speaker A:It's a TV show.
Speaker A:I'm like, oh, I can't bear it.
Speaker A:And I cannot believe you have a reaction that's similar.
Speaker B:I'm worse.
Speaker B:I trump you, Peter.
Speaker B:I trump you.
Speaker B:My reaction when I don't like something, I'm scared of something, or I can say something like I'm about to see something, like a terrible car accident or anything that I'm worried about or I'm scared of, I block my ears like.
Speaker A:A five year old.
Speaker B:La la la la la.
Speaker B:Instead of blocking my eyes, I go, I don't like what I'm gonna see.
Speaker B:I'm not scared of the sound.
Speaker B:I just don't like what I said.
Speaker B:If I'm watching a scary movie and someone's about to shoot someone, I'm blocking, I'm watching the movie, but I'm blocking my ears.
Speaker B:It's the strangest reaction.
Speaker B:Everyone laughs at me every time.
Speaker B:But here we are.
Speaker B:Still do it.
Speaker A:You do you.
Speaker A:I say, maybe it's the trauma of the music they use in those things that you're like, I need to, to.
Speaker B:Know what it is.
Speaker A:I just.
Speaker A:Some of the cringe stuff, I just cannot, I cannot bear.
Speaker A:And this episode, the Cabin, is full of it.
Speaker A: ,: Speaker B:Really?
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:And you know what?
Speaker A:When you think about the storylines and the comedy, he's got a balance in this.
Speaker A:I think it's well deserved, you know, let alone some trauma.
Speaker A:David I mean, there's gold.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Everywhere.
Speaker B:I love David.
Speaker B:I just love him.
Speaker B:Especially in this episode.
Speaker A:Oh, I really feel so good and relatable.
Speaker A:At.
Speaker A:The episode opens with possibly one of the most horrifyingly relatable moments ever for any child.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Adult child.
Speaker A:Parents.
Speaker A:David walks in on his parents having sex.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:So hell is what's happening.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:That's lame.
Speaker B:On repeat.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:And what's even more fabulous in true Schitt's Creek style, right?
Speaker A:Anything, any.
Speaker A:In real world, there'd be this.
Speaker A:And in most families, I think there'd be this unspoken agreement to never acknowledge it.
Speaker A:You just turn around, walk away, do not speak of this thing.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:We just.
Speaker A:Not.
Speaker A:We just pretend, right?
Speaker A:But Johnny.
Speaker A:Oh, no.
Speaker A:He decides he's gonna come in, sit down with the kids, and we should talk it out.
Speaker B:Now, guys, what you just saw.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:And I mean, for you, I'm curious, right, if you were Alexis or David, what's worse?
Speaker A:Is it worse to walk in on something, or is it worse to then have to talk about it afterwards?
Speaker B:Talking is worse, right?
Speaker B:100%.
Speaker B:If we can all just agree that we didn't say anything and just move on, that would just make a bad situation less bearable.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:Then you want to talk about it.
Speaker B:That's like reliving it over and over.
Speaker A:It is.
Speaker A:It's unnecessary.
Speaker A:And looking in the eye of the person, like.
Speaker B:No, in their robes.
Speaker B:In their robes, Peter.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker A:It's just so.
Speaker A:It's so gross.
Speaker A:And like, you say, David's reaction is hysterical.
Speaker A:You know, Alexis is like, oh, my God, what's happening?
Speaker A:And he's like, I saw hell is what's happening.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:So funny.
Speaker A:It is.
Speaker A:And like I say, so relatable.
Speaker A:We can all tap into that horror.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:You know, it just that.
Speaker A:No, not okay.
Speaker A:No thin walls.
Speaker A:All of that's bad.
Speaker A:Doors that can open.
Speaker A:All bad.
Speaker B:Old parents.
Speaker B:Parents are too old.
Speaker A:You shouldn't be doing that.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker A:None of us like to ignore.
Speaker A:We wish the best for them.
Speaker A:We just don't want to know.
Speaker A:And I don't know ever.
Speaker A:But it's funny, in the last episode, actually, we talked about the relationship between Johnny and Maura, and this actually, this sort of getting, you know, busted in on actually leads to quite a sweet moment for them, which is they decide, you know, they.
Speaker A:Well, they talk about how they want to stay connected as a couple.
Speaker A:Like, this is a proactive thing where they want to make sure they're still connected, which I think is really lovely.
Speaker B:So nice and so mature of.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:You know, they're so immature in so many ways, but then they're very mature.
Speaker A:Yes, absolutely.
Speaker A:Absolutely.
Speaker A:Unfortunately, this with comedic gold leads to all sorts of awful situations.
Speaker A:The one I've got to touch on first because it's just beyond horrifying.
Speaker A:That's what's great about this episode.
Speaker A:It starts with what you think is the worst thing, but it's not the worst thing.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Bob and Gwen sitting in that cabin.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Quietly reading while they're listening in the next room.
Speaker A:Like, this is just so disturbing.
Speaker B:Like, I can't.
Speaker B:I cannot believe it.
Speaker B:And like, who would react in that way?
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:You'd either leave and just go, oh, we know who that is.
Speaker B:It's screams.
Speaker A:Or you'd.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Bang some doors.
Speaker A:You'd.
Speaker A:You'd do something to stop.
Speaker B:You don't sit and let them and then offer commentary.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:Afterwards.
Speaker B:No one asked for your commentary.
Speaker A:Oh, God.
Speaker A:It's just because when I was.
Speaker A:When I first watched it, I thought Roland was the.
Speaker A:The creepy one, Right.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Because he.
Speaker A:Before they even get to the cabin, he's sort of a bit creepy, talking about restraints.
Speaker A:And I know all of that.
Speaker B:Feel free to use the restraints.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:And then, you know, and in fact, I was feeling sorry for Jocelyn, too, married to Roland.
Speaker A:But then, right.
Speaker A:She whispers to Johnny, you know, pick a safe word.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Secrets, Right?
Speaker A:I'm obsessed with her.
Speaker A:I think she's fabulous.
Speaker A:Another great actress.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:You can just carry that.
Speaker A:Which is incredible.
Speaker A:But none of which is as bad to me as Bob and Gwen sitting there.
Speaker A:Like, all of that's creepiness in the moment, but Bob and Gwen just sitting and letting it go on is just horrifying.
Speaker B:Terrible.
Speaker B:Who are these people?
Speaker B:Who are these people?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, it makes me wonder too, when I think about the.
Speaker A:The Jocelyn thing.
Speaker A:You know, she was pretty quick with that safe word suggestion.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:I mean, you could think it was a joke, but I wonder whether maybe, you know, I mean, we don't see this in the show, but whether she's the one that runs the really interesting book club in Schitt's Creek.
Speaker A:Like, I wonder whether she's got this sort of, you know, a little bit of a sparkly side.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Another side of her.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I wonder.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:She kind of bottles it in.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:And it comes out in little bits like that.
Speaker B:Well, married to Roland, you'd have to bottle a lot of things in.
Speaker A:Oh, you really would.
Speaker B:So she's probably desperate for someone to kind of help her unload.
Speaker B:And she puts on.
Speaker B:And it is at times false, the smile you see her at times really like putting on when she's really not happy.
Speaker B:So I imagine there is a lot of bottling in.
Speaker B:We're going deep again.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:So this is just one of her.
Speaker B:Those little remarks she can use.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:To let it out.
Speaker A:And particularly I think for Jocelyn, what's interesting is that, I mean the roses are all going through realizing the world's a bigger place and people live other way.
Speaker A:I think Jocelyn in particular gets that in reverse because she's living in this little world and she's creek and thinks this is how everybody does everything.
Speaker A:Like she.
Speaker A:You can frequently through these episodes see her like, oh, wait a minute, you mean that's not how things are done?
Speaker A:You know, so.
Speaker A:So I feel like she goes through a bit of a self discovery too where she comes into herself because.
Speaker A:But clearly has a bit of.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So interesting, you know, characters there.
Speaker A:Speaking of Roland, I love like when Roland gives the directions to Johnny to the cabin.
Speaker C:Okay, I want you to take Highway 10 to Loon Lake Road north.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker C:I want you to take a right there.
Speaker C:There's going to be a split in the fence.
Speaker C:I want you to go left at that split and keep going.
Speaker C:Go through the intersection of Loon Lake Road south.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:And then you're going to find Pine Road.
Speaker C:Now you go up Pine Road.
Speaker C:I want you to take a right at that big oak tree.
Speaker C:Or it's old.
Speaker B:Old.
Speaker A:It's big.
Speaker C:You can't miss it.
Speaker C:You go down the hill to the left and we're the third cabin on the right.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker C:The keys under the map.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:You know, I had a flashback because if somebody gives me verbal directions all you know and, and they hear, you know, they say something like, oh, and turn left at this tree.
Speaker A:Or like I'm just, I'm done.
Speaker A:I'm just not absorbing at all.
Speaker B:I might be 100 meters.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Go up there and just like.
Speaker A:No, no, sorry.
Speaker A:It's just not.
Speaker A:It's just not how.
Speaker A:I don't know why I.
Speaker A:Because I don't have a great sense of direction, general follow a map.
Speaker A:But that's to me almost more mathematical.
Speaker A:Like that's a.
Speaker A:That's a different thing but like a broad sense of where we're going.
Speaker A:Whereas like my husband, I feel like he's got like an internal ability to.
Speaker B:Know where north is.
Speaker B:Do you?
Speaker A:I mean, like, that's sort of that anchor of that.
Speaker A:I've none of that.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:No, I think for me, I mean, for you to be given directions, it means you're in an unfamiliar area.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:And for me, when I'm driving an unfamiliar area, A, I must have a full tank of fuel.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:And B, I need to focus on the road.
Speaker B:So if you want me to start counting meters or counting red light, you know, cameras.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Or you know, traffic lights.
Speaker B:It's just not going to.
Speaker B:I'm focusing, mate.
Speaker B:I can't do everything well.
Speaker B:And we spoilt now.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:In the maps.
Speaker A:Correct.
Speaker B:And it will leave you there.
Speaker B:Where was the maps?
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker A:Google Maps is something I live in.
Speaker A:And part of the difference now I remember before we had that.
Speaker A:All of.
Speaker A:All of that.
Speaker A:Of course.
Speaker A:And we'd, you know, we'd have the.
Speaker A:We'd have the map in front of us.
Speaker A:We might even have it on our lap if we're trying to wear.
Speaker A:Remember?
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:And this.
Speaker A:And it was huge and heavy and it was awkward.
Speaker A:But you would try and remember more turns because you just couldn't look at it that much.
Speaker A:But we're so spoiled now with things like Google Maps, which just says turn right here.
Speaker A:We're just used to getting the next turn.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker A:You give me more than one or two.
Speaker A:I'm not.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I can't think of our heads either.
Speaker B:The instructions there are fantastic.
Speaker A:They are.
Speaker A:I mean, Paul Moore and Johnny, just from that moment, you know, they're doomed at that point.
Speaker A:The trip to the cabin is doomed.
Speaker B:Cuz there looks doomed.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:Johnny is just so damn keen to get to this cabin.
Speaker B:He's like, yep, got it.
Speaker B:I'll be there, I'll find it, whatever, I don't care.
Speaker B:Just get me out of here, get me in this car, get me to some cabin.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And I'm in.
Speaker B:And literally that's exactly what happened.
Speaker B:They just found the first cabin they found.
Speaker A:Correct.
Speaker A:Boom.
Speaker B:Wrong cabin.
Speaker A:Done.
Speaker A:Wait, what?
Speaker A:Job done.
Speaker A:Here we go.
Speaker A:We're here.
Speaker B:And then he's cursing Roland on the way in through the window, not thinking.
Speaker A:Well, maybe that means it's not rolling.
Speaker B:Totally.
Speaker B:That never crossed his mind.
Speaker B:Clearly mission focused in the role.
Speaker B:And what I also loved, which I think is a bit, you know, metaphoric or some other symbol.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Is when he climbs through the window and he's cursing Roland and he gets up and he, you know, dusts off his blazer.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:Like, why wouldn't you take your jacket off.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:If you know that you're going to be climbing through a window.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:If I'm in the middle of the.
Speaker B:Of, you know, the woods.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And I have to climb through window.
Speaker B:No one else is around me.
Speaker B:I'd take the all just go in your undies.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I just don't.
Speaker A:Not your beautiful suit.
Speaker A:Which is a beautiful suit.
Speaker A:Like, it's clearly gorgeous.
Speaker B:And then he's got to rip the back.
Speaker A:A rip at the back.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker B:You know, like, why would you climb through a window?
Speaker B:Like, why did he have to keep it on?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:This is this Persona that.
Speaker B:That he's got.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:That he's always got.
Speaker A:Can't let go.
Speaker B:He's always going to look polished even when he's climbing through the window of a cabin.
Speaker A:And so many times, like you say, like, you know, it's doomed.
Speaker A:It just keeps on happening.
Speaker A:This is going to be a disaster.
Speaker A:I'm curious, have you ever had like a romantic getaway or a trip that's just turned into a disaster?
Speaker A:Have you ever had this?
Speaker B:No, My husband's.
Speaker B:Andrew's pretty good at organizing these things.
Speaker B:He's very much more organized than me, let me say.
Speaker B:But you know, I think when you're going through Europe and you're, you know, picking up cars and dropping off, you know, you're always going to have flow there.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:But I mean, that's all part of the journey.
Speaker B:That's all part of the.
Speaker A:The adventure and the test of a relationship.
Speaker A:I mean, for us, for my hubby and I on our honeymoon in Fiji, there were cataclysmic mudslides.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:On another part of the island, which we didn't know about.
Speaker B:Of course they were right.
Speaker A:And we thought, oh, we're going to drive around the island.
Speaker A:It's not that big.
Speaker A:You can drive around it and we get about halfway around and nearly end up in a river.
Speaker A:We can't cross the road.
Speaker A:We almost had to stay in the middle of the Fijian Jun like it.
Speaker A:It was absolutely a disaster.
Speaker A:The car we had a little white.
Speaker A:Wasn't a Kia back then, but it was a tiny little Ford thing.
Speaker A:When we finally got to the other side of the island, it was head to toe mud, as in you couldn't tell it was wide anymore.
Speaker A:It was horrific.
Speaker A:So I have a great deal of empathy for my friend.
Speaker A:Sometimes things just go bad, right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Really does happen.
Speaker A:And you know, it's that plan you had or the romantic getaway just might not work out the way you might.
Speaker B:Think where you think it is.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:We've had, we've rock dropped hotels and especially overseas and they give you vouchers.
Speaker B:So you book these hotels and they give you vouchers and.
Speaker B:Well, it's just a piece of paper.
Speaker B:We didn't actually put any value on it because we had our emails.
Speaker B:Like it's all an email anyway.
Speaker B:Why do I need a voucher?
Speaker B:Yeah, we work up at the hotel, it's like 9 o'clock at night and we're finally parked and you know, suitcases out all the rock up to me, they're booking.
Speaker B:Do you have a voucher?
Speaker B:Where's this piece of paper?
Speaker B:And I'm gonna say, here's your bloody voucher.
Speaker B:I've got an email.
Speaker B:Email didn't count.
Speaker B:I need the voucher.
Speaker B:Here's your bloody voucher.
Speaker B:Give them the voucher.
Speaker B:The voucher had the date and it turns out that it was actually booked for the following year.
Speaker B:The same date the following year and the hotel was fully booked.
Speaker B:The voucher actually had the today's date.
Speaker B:Oh, it was just this connection little.
Speaker A:Glitch, some sort of glitch.
Speaker A:Oh, thank God.
Speaker B:We had this bloody piece of paper.
Speaker B:That voucher got it.
Speaker B:I don't know what they did, but they found us a room.
Speaker A:Look, those things never happen when you're well rested.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker A:And you've got your sense of humor intact and you can just back home in that moment.
Speaker A:No, no, no, they always happen when you're at your wits end already.
Speaker A:Like something's already happened that day or it's a long day, everybody's tired, just want to have a shower and go to sleep.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:Pitch black.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:Found a parking spot, unloaded the car, get me into this room.
Speaker B:Voucher, please.
Speaker A:Oh my.
Speaker B:I mean, that's probably as chaotic as it's gone across, which, you know, is a testament to how boring we are and organized.
Speaker B:You know, we don't leave things to chance, but sometimes things happen outside of your control.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:They do.
Speaker B:In their case, it wasn't really outside of their control.
Speaker B:It was.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:A little bit of attention to detail might have.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:I think there was a, you know, miscommunication, definitely.
Speaker B:Lack of wanting to hear properly.
Speaker B:Definitely.
Speaker B:I think there's a multitude of things, but.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, they ended up in the wrong cabin and he's cursing Roland and really.
Speaker B:Yeah, he just went to the wrong cabin.
Speaker A:It's funny though, actually, one of the lessons out of this for me, that felt like a bit of a life Lesson was the power of actually letting people help.
Speaker A:Because Johnny actually initially resists Roland's offer.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:He's like, no, no, no, we don't.
Speaker A:We don't.
Speaker A:We've got this.
Speaker A:We don't need the cabin.
Speaker A:We're fine.
Speaker A:And often, I think we think accepting help can be taking advantage, you know?
Speaker A:And I thought, it's really interesting because I know I've got a default.
Speaker A:Oh, thanks.
Speaker A:But we're good.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:And it's not because I don't want the thing or because it wouldn't help, but it's just sort of a.
Speaker A:Got to stand on your own two feet.
Speaker A:Yeah, it's.
Speaker A:Yeah, I thought that was.
Speaker A:It was just an interesting reflection for me going.
Speaker A:Yeah, I probably would have said that initially, too.
Speaker B:And just Roland, I mean, you know, your first reaction would be, if it's a rolling thing, I'm not gonna.
Speaker B:Like.
Speaker A:I know, right?
Speaker A:Correct, correct.
Speaker B:You know, even when they got in, even when they arrived at the cabin, they hadn't gone in yet.
Speaker B:They were surprised.
Speaker B:Like, well done, Roland.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker B:Surprised at how nice the cabin was because they wouldn't expect it from him.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:So, you know.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I think the default is Netflix.
Speaker B:Rolling.
Speaker B:I don't want anything from you because what you like, I don't like.
Speaker A:Yes, yes.
Speaker A:And that's still them in the headspace where they have options, which they just don't.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:Somebody's offering you a getaway.
Speaker A:Probably take them.
Speaker B:Because Johnny wanted locks.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:So when.
Speaker B:When David walked in on them.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Johnny then went to Roland and says, where are these locks?
Speaker B:Like, just give me a man.
Speaker B:Well, he goes back to the room and remember when he starts putting the locks on.
Speaker B:Oh, and he's so proud of himself.
Speaker A:Oh, and Alexis busts.
Speaker B:Just storms through the door.
Speaker A:Oh, and bless him, he still keeps on trying.
Speaker A:Like he's.
Speaker A:It's something.
Speaker A:I had noted that, too, actually.
Speaker A:Johnny is.
Speaker A:He just keeps on trying, whether it's for his wife or the kids or the family.
Speaker A:Like, he's just.
Speaker A:Nope, I'm gonna keep on going.
Speaker A:He doesn't sort of collapse in a heap and give up.
Speaker A:Do you know what I mean?
Speaker A:Like, I really.
Speaker A:You know, he's that sort of steady, stable heart for them that just sort of.
Speaker A:He's gonna keep at it.
Speaker A:He's not gonna give up.
Speaker B:You know, just, where are their mobile phones?
Speaker B:That's what I want to know.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Well, I wonder.
Speaker A:You mean when they travel, like when they head out to the cabin, like.
Speaker B:They would have had mobile phones.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I think in some of those regions, though, if you're far enough out, they might not have good coverage.
Speaker B:Right, right.
Speaker A:That can happen here, you know, if you're out in some of the sort of further out sort of towns or certainly outside the main town.
Speaker A:They'll have it in town, of course, but once you're out in the bush, you know, can get a bit rough.
Speaker A:I thought another interesting thing in this was once, you know, mum and dad are away, kids will play.
Speaker A:They both reacted completely.
Speaker A:So Alexis and David really reacted differently to having some time, you know, and it's.
Speaker A:I think it was interesting.
Speaker A:David was completely content to just do his own thing for the.
Speaker A:Like, he's sitting there, he's got the book, you know, he's just vibing, he's fine, you know, Whereas Alexis is spiraling because, you know, I need somebody to reflect back on how charming and important I am.
Speaker A:You know, how different are they in that sense.
Speaker A:He has evolved a bit more than her in terms of sort of growing up, you know, being comfortable in her with you, with yourself, and you're doing your own thing.
Speaker B:I think it's.
Speaker B:It gives us an insight into what they would have been like in their old life.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:You know, when Johnny and Maura would have gone out, which I imagine would have happened quite often.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:They would have immediately gone and had this house party or invited their friends over by default, like straight away.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker B:And Alexis just wants to kind of relive that.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:They have no friends.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:But, you know, it's about a crowd.
Speaker A:It is.
Speaker A:But even then, I wonder whether it always was, you know, I think maybe it always was a bit of a hierarchy, she says, you know, and I miss being surrounded by loose acquaintances who think that I'm funny and smart and charming.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:And clearly that's the way it's always been.
Speaker A:And I think how.
Speaker A:I mean, she's actually self.
Speaker A:Really self aware.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like, despite still saying that, which in itself is a bit of a worry, you know, she still knows that that's what she needs, which is not as.
Speaker B:A bit as much of a bimbo she lets on as she knows.
Speaker A:No, no, no, no.
Speaker A:And I think, yeah, she gets that.
Speaker A:That's the vibe.
Speaker A:She just needs some attention.
Speaker A:She's not getting it anywhere else.
Speaker A:So we'll have a party and I'll get some fake attention.
Speaker A:At least.
Speaker A:A little side note.
Speaker A:Excuse me.
Speaker A:We mentioned David was reading a book.
Speaker A:This is the start of Books in Schitt's Creek.
Speaker A:Every book in Schitt's Creek is a fake book.
Speaker A:So they create a cover, they create a name.
Speaker A:The whole thing is fake.
Speaker A:None of them are real books.
Speaker A:This one, the book is called Rare Sophistication, which I think is hysterical.
Speaker A:Funny for how unsophisticated the whole thing is.
Speaker A:But also that David's still holding onto that, you know, that's the.
Speaker A:That's the book.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:He's so sophisticated, like.
Speaker B:Yeah, ask him to spell it.
Speaker A:Yes, please, go on.
Speaker B:But one of the.
Speaker B:One of the comments I loved was, I think it was Stevie that said.
Speaker B:Because David must have gone and complained about something and.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:About the whole game.
Speaker B:Snide.
Speaker B:And she wants to do a game.
Speaker A:Got to get into the game.
Speaker B:Snow, you know, And Stevie, I think it was said to.
Speaker B:On your team.
Speaker B:You sound really fun because he was being so dramatic and so negative.
Speaker A:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker B:Yeah, he's a real stickle for the rules.
Speaker A:Oh, he's.
Speaker A:He's.
Speaker A:It's the whole vibe.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:He's clearly.
Speaker A:But as it turns out, Stevie's one of those players, too, that turns out the two of them are one of those people that are really competitive.
Speaker A:This is so random, too.
Speaker A:I was watching this episode and roaring with last laughter because I've just decided sort of over Christmas that I want to start hosting games nights, right.
Speaker A:As a way to get together and just hang out.
Speaker A:Like, really not go and spend a fortune at a restaurant with mates.
Speaker A:Just hang out, you know, And I love that sort of chaotic conversation that happens when you're playing.
Speaker A:You know, it's social, but sort of after re watching this episode, I'm like.
Speaker B:Oh, maybe I shouldn't do that.
Speaker B:Oh, I don't know.
Speaker A:Yeah, we might have a couple of interesting characters.
Speaker A:Who knows?
Speaker A:You know, maybe I send the episode to everybody.
Speaker A:Like, mm, we're not aiming for this.
Speaker B:Vibe, you know, we're just, you know, the rules are there are no rules.
Speaker B:But also, let's just not take it too seriously.
Speaker B:But what I found fantastic, and this is, you know, a sign of their friendship kind of progressing, is when David, you know, has a hissy, fidden, storms, closes the door.
Speaker B:I can't play.
Speaker B:No one's listening.
Speaker B:No one's abiding by the rules.
Speaker B:Everyone's getting distracted.
Speaker B:I can't do this.
Speaker B:Slams the door, lies, and Lodge continues with his sophisticated book.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And then Stevie walks in and is trying to get him back.
Speaker B:And I feel that she is, you know, going, you know, I need you to help me explain the rules to them.
Speaker B:Like, instead of saying, come in you're being a windjar.
Speaker B:Just come back and join the group.
Speaker A:I just.
Speaker A:I need you.
Speaker A:I need you.
Speaker B:She's like, I need you.
Speaker B:I need you to help me.
Speaker B:And she's trying to get him on.
Speaker B:So she's manipulating him.
Speaker B:She knows how to get him on side.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And she's using that to get.
Speaker B:And he's like, okay, fine, you know, okay, but only if, you know.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:Just to kind of get him back into.
Speaker B:Into the other room.
Speaker B:Which.
Speaker A:Which I love that he falls for that because there's been time has passed and everybody was drinking, so it's only going to get worse.
Speaker A:The rule following is not going to.
Speaker B:He wanted to go back in, Peter.
Speaker B:Yeah, he wanted to go back in.
Speaker B:He.
Speaker B:This was the olive branch that got him back.
Speaker B:He wanted to be in that room.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:But he wanted them to be doing what he wanted them to be doing.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:So what.
Speaker A:How about for you?
Speaker A:Are you a chill out games night?
Speaker A:Like giving hints?
Speaker A:Hey, it's all just about fun or are you.
Speaker B:I think who I'm playing with.
Speaker A:Ah, yes.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I think it depends who I'm playing with.
Speaker B:If it's like adult serious, I'm very competitive.
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker B:But if there are kids involved or it's, you know, a bit of fun and banter, I'll.
Speaker B:I might, you know, you know, look at someone's cards and like, oh, she's got the.
Speaker B:The heart or she's got the.
Speaker B:Emma, stop it.
Speaker B:And I.
Speaker B:It's all just part of the fun.
Speaker B:So it really just depends on the crowd and what the energy is of the.
Speaker A:Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:Although I'll have to ask my mates because of course, we're probably not as aware of how we are as people are.
Speaker A:I particularly.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:With.
Speaker A:Well, with anybody really.
Speaker A:I'm very like, it's all fun.
Speaker A:We should all be having fun until somebody's a bit of a dick.
Speaker A:And then I'm like, well, everybody else can win, but they're going down.
Speaker A:Like, I can.
Speaker A:You're not winning.
Speaker A:Be targeted.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:As long as I don't care if I don't win.
Speaker A:But you're definitely not winning.
Speaker B:Absolutely.
Speaker B:And I think, I mean, just when we were away recently and, you know, we just playing Uno with the kids.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:And like it's an uno game.
Speaker B:But then it became okay, no.
Speaker B:Who has a reverse.
Speaker B:Reverse back.
Speaker B:I've got it.
Speaker B:Reverse back to me.
Speaker B:Who knows?
Speaker A:Perfect.
Speaker A:You can have somebody draw two, draw.
Speaker B:Four, draw six, draw eight.
Speaker B:Draw, you know.
Speaker B:And yeah, we all like gang up on one person who just happened to won a couple of games before and all of a sudden they're the bad person.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:So, yeah, games nights really bring out the best and worst in people.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:We love with, well, adults too, but kids as well.
Speaker A:A version of, you know, called UNO attacks.
Speaker A:It comes with this box and instead of picking up a card, right, you know, you've got to pick, put one down, pick one up.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Instead of picking up a card, you press a button and the box spits at you.
Speaker A:Anything between 0 and 15 cards.
Speaker B:Oh my God.
Speaker A:And it's hysterical.
Speaker A:And what it means is it's all just dumb luck because you can think you're on this, you're being strategic, you've got it covered and then the box just spits at you.
Speaker A:12 cards.
Speaker A:It's so funny.
Speaker A:And my husband apparently, look, our nieces loved playing it with us because for whatever reason he.
Speaker A:Nick touches that button and it constantly just delivers him.
Speaker A:So he'd end up with like, I love this.
Speaker A:It's hysterical.
Speaker A:It is.
Speaker A:We really love that because it's a leveler, you know, and it brings the adults down to the kids level as well.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:Which is really important.
Speaker A:Well, I think when you're playing with lots of different age groups, everybody should feel like they're sort of on a level playing field.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker B:Like Lucy, you know, my three year old daughter, she had her cards just on full display.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:You know, so for her open hand.
Speaker B:Yeah, it was just, you know, on full display down on the table and you know, oh, I don't have a red.
Speaker B:EBay.
Speaker B:You caught a three?
Speaker B:No, but I don't have a red.
Speaker B:I need to pick up another card.
Speaker B:Here we go.
Speaker B:She said we just let her do.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:You know, but one of the other boys was like real stickler for the rules.
Speaker B:He was like, no, but she can't do that, you know, and so like where we're trying to navigate all the different personalities and so.
Speaker B:Yeah, you learned so much about people.
Speaker A:You do.
Speaker A:And they witness so much to.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Who they want to be, how do they want to behave, what, you know, all of that.
Speaker A:It's fabulous.
Speaker A:Nothing better.
Speaker A:Nothing better.
Speaker A:There's a moment though.
Speaker A:Is there any anything else?
Speaker A:There's one moment at the end I want to cover, but is there anything else we've missed?
Speaker A:I think we've covered most of it.
Speaker B:I think we've covered most of it.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:I think we have.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Right at the end.
Speaker A:So Johnny like you said, you know, trying to fix this.
Speaker A:Still Alexis busts through like ah.
Speaker A:But Johnny doesn't admit defeat.
Speaker A:You know he's gonna keep on going.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:But I want everybody to.
Speaker A:If you don't remember this moment, go back right at the end of the episode of episode five and watch again.
Speaker A:Because right at the end there, when he sort of turns back tomorrow, Alexis is gone and he's sort of role playing that weird country draw hick thing.
Speaker A:There's a moment where I swear Catherine O'Hara, that actual actress is going to burst out laughing.
Speaker A:If you look at her, you can holding it in like.
Speaker A:And she clearly manages to get a lines out but she's got this look on her face that is just priceless.
Speaker A:So go and check it out folks.
Speaker A:You'll absolutely thank us.
Speaker A:It is just perfect to see it because that draw was just horrendous.
Speaker A:I don't know how any of that role playing would have been fun or sexy, but well worth a laugh.
Speaker A:Absolutely.
