## Cold Open

> You were having a Puppers with your pals the other day… — Wayne

Seated at MoDean's, Dan warns Daryl that "too much Instagrams'll make your eyes go square," but he replies that he's actually flipping through Twitter. The Hicks discuss a Twitter account called "gay Hooters," a presumably like the restaurant franchise Hooters except marketed to gay men 18–35. Daryl is still mystified by what they might find appealing about it, and is informed by Ron and Dax, seated the next table over, that "lots of gay dudes secretly love tits."

> To be fair… it's hard to imagine anyone not likin' 'em, no matter which ways you points your sexuals compass. — Squirrely Dan

Still, they are not interested in "eye-level eye candy"—Ron and Dax would prefer a "dog's eye view of a dink."

> Oh, is that right? — Wayne

## Plot Summary

Seated around the kitchen table at the farmhouse, the Hicks bemoan the closing of Sir Bill's, a mom-and-pop shop that had served the best "brefekst" in Letterkenny—until MoDean's started serving brunch, of course. Katy had thought that the two ought to have merged, but they conclude that there is not much room for competittion in a small town, where businesses depend on customer loyalty. Wayne scoffs, considering loyalty to be "a fuckin' dying art. Gail will need it, though, as a big city chain restaurant is opening up in town, sure to offer "casual fine dining" and "upscale comfort food," the Hicks sneer. Daryl, giggling, says such places do have their perks, the "perkiest" "perkies"—breasts, that is, at the forthcoming breastaurant.

> Short skirts, full bras, can't lose.
>

Katy is skeptical, not about the women who choose to work there, but about the leering men such places attract: the male gaze. Daryl confuses this for "male gays." Katy says she'd have more time for clogged toilets, then gets up to leave, to show Gail some loyalty. The male Hicks join her.

In the Skids' basement, Stewart rejects Roald's invitation to listen to a new Neapolitan funk combination, calling him a "phonographic philistine"—Neapolitan funk was "yesteryear's genre." He is fully immersed in the Nigerian Neurofolk movement.

* Wayne: Loyalty is two things: number A, a crucial practice in any relationship, and number B, a fuckin' dying art.
* Katy: One of those restaurants where you're not paying or the G&T, you're paying for the T&A.
