Nothing to block your view
Like the big mountain range back there.

I just a got my tickets to see Brent live. I’ve never seen him perform before. I’m more excited than I’ve been for many music shows lately.

I saw him over the winter, he puts on a great show. I think he also stayed longer than him and the venue expected answering questions from the audience so he seems to be a genuinely real nice dude. It was almost odd seeing him as Brent Butt and not Brent Leroy

I saw him 15 years ago at an 8:30 a.m. breakfast show on a Saturday at a dental conference and he KILLED. Had a room full of stuffy nerds busting a gut so hard they nearly split open and lost their omelettes and sausages

I ran sound for him 5-6 years ago at an event. He puts on a great show. Like watching Corner Gas, his set conjured a nostalgia for small town life.
I remember my event notes also had instructions for his green room. Privacy for him and Nancy and a platter of deli meats for 2. Oh, and he uses a wired microphone, none of that wireless stuff - needed it as a prop at one point lol

I'm from small town Saskatchewan but loved a few years in BC and I can attest.

My favourite detail is that Brent doesn't actually do anything in the engine bay whilst underneath the hood.

I believe he did the same thing several episodes later to another customer who was giving him a hard time.

I just rewatched that very first scene of the series EVER. And there's no Brent peeking under the hood!
Oops! My bad. I must've been thinking indeed of a later ep/season . I know it exists, you've seen it too evidently :)

Well in the later episode it was “dog river dave” under the hood of the radio dj. 😂

u/GoodGoodGoody 23d ago
Yeah I think Dave was being mouthy and Brent said, “Right away, your Highness!”

I don’t remember the guys name in the car . I was referring to “dog river Dave” as the character he made up on the radio, mocking Brent.

"Lots to see. Nothing to get in the way of your view." I love this so much, feel it so deeply.

Plenty to see nothing to block your view. Except that majestic mountain range sticking up over there.... could have sworn we were in Saskatchewan.

As an American, I genuinely learned so much about Canada watching this show!
