Episode Details

Episode 99 and we brought in a beauty. JJ Frankie JJ himself — Max Bouffard — hops on with the Zebras and we go full locker room right out of the gate.

We get into how Max actually landed on Shoresy and Letterkenny, what that audition process was really like, and how a hockey kid ends up stealing scenes on one of the most authentic hockey shows ever made. From there it’s movies, TV, behind-the-scenes chaos, what’s scripted vs what’s pure locker-room improv, and why Shoresy works when so many hockey shows don’t.

And here’s the kicker — the entire time we’re chopping it up, Max is dealing with absolutely brutal back pain, still grinding, still laughing, still firing stories like a guy blocking shots on one leg. We talk injuries, pain tolerance, the hockey mindset of “yeah it hurts, so what,” and how that mentality weirdly prepares you for acting, long shoots, and the grind of the industry.

We bounce from hockey culture to film sets, camaraderie, chirps, real-life experiences that make the dialogue hit harder, and why authenticity matters — whether it’s on the ice or on camera.

Hockey guys. Movie sets. Bad backs. Zero excuses.
Give your balls a tug. 🎙️🏒
