**Dyck Meat** is the third episode of Season 10 of *Letterkenny*.

## Synopsis

The Hicks attend a sausage party. The hockey players and skids have a video game battle.

## Cold Open

> You were having a wee bit of a spat with your pal the other day… — Dan and Daryl
>
>

The Hicks are at the tractor shed. Daryl and Dan are having a spat, but Wayne is reluctant to intervene like he usually does. They ask him to do so, and he musters the energy to ask them what they are arguing about.

> Katy's big tarts. — Daryl and Dan
>
>

Wayne is flummoxed, but Daryl and Dan continue to talk about Katy's perfect tarts; they'd crushed a whole tub of them, and another tub was left. Wayne observes that there are 19 tarts in a tub. They had agreed that Dan should take half the tart and hand the rest to Daryl, but Dan ended up eating the entire thing—on accident, he insists. When he took a bite, the other half crumbled, and rather than let it fall on the floor, he decided to hoover it up.

Daryl (and Wayne) observe that Daryl never minded eating things off the floor, and Daryl fulminates. The group goes quiet as Katy walks over and asks if anyone wants the other half of her tart; Daryl accepts this. She asks herself why her tarts are so big as she walks away.

> Makes them perfect for sharings with a pal. — Dan and Daryl

## Plot Summary

Noah Dyck rides up to the produce stand in his carriage. Daryl tells the others that he will help Noah, but only if the task does not involve his daughters. As it happens, Noah has come to invite them to a sausage party.

> I won't rest until my sausage has touched the back of your throats. — Noah
>
>

Daryl would feel better if he could bring a date, but Noah tells him no women are allowed at a sausage party, and his daughters and wife will be busy in the kitchen. Dan asks about sisters, but Noah simply says that time will tell. Noah thinks it is noon, but Wayne informs him it is 3pm, and Noah heads out to make preparations.

Reilly and Jonesy are surprised to find the Skids dancing in the parking lot of the convenience store. Stewart tells them to go to the supplement store is "that way"; they should take the bridge by the Kinsmen pool that goes over top of the dam, walk halfway across, and jump off. The hockey players take him literally, however, and are pleased to hear Letterkenny now has a supplement store they can drop by on the way back from playing Chel. Stewart offers to play them in his basement.

The Hicks arrive at the Dyck farm, but Noah's first batch has not been up to standard; he "blew a load" right in the yard. Fortunately, he reports, his daughters were around to help clean up.

> What a treat it was to watch my own children enjoy my load, despite its premature completion. — Noah
>
>

The next batch, he promises, will be better.

At the basement, Reilly and Jonesy are infuriated at having been beat at Chel, and scream that Stewart and Roald only won because of their home ice advantage. They will take the Chel station back to their billet mom's and play there; Roald is enticed by the invitation.

Noah has the men hold hands to say grace, which even Wayne does after a slight hesitation. He asks Dan for help parting the meat curtains—on the smoker Anita built, that is.

Back at their billet mom's house, however, Reilly and Jonesy have been beaten again, and are kicking and punching large holes in the walls. Reilly accuses the Skids of "tricking the cards," and Jonesy accuses them of cheating with a hack downloaded from the dark web. Stewart is mildly offended, and the Skids take their leave. The hockey players resume destroying the walls.

The pork is done, and Noah is so excited he slips into German while presenting the various dishes to the Hicks: mettwurst, then bratwurst, knackwurst, and weisswurst. Dan and Wayne make a few puns, which he finds hysterical, falling on the ground laughing and passing gas.

The Skids are back at the convenience store, and again approached by Reilly and Jonesy, who have calmed down. They return Stewart's Chel station, and Stewart returns his. Reilly and Jonesy admit they are not as good as they thought they were, and apologize for not taking their losses well. They start to leave to check out the supplement store, and Stewart calls them back to play some FIF'. They excitedly shout "ninja dust!" and run off, bewildering the Skids; Roald makes the same motion, and Darien and Connor run off in the same way.

Noah meanwhile is still on the ground laughing and farting while Daryl, Dan, and Wayne eat. He finally calms himself and invites them to come inside. Daryl's suspicions are aroused: why?

> Because that's where the Dyck suckers are. — Noah
>
>

He Charity, Anita, and Lovina over (Chastity is busy leading Bible study), and they present maple candy for the dessert. They decline the Dyck milk, however, and the Dyck cheese.

## Quotes

* Daryl: What goes on at a sausage party?
Dan: Well, Daryl, it sounds like it's a party where guys eats a lot of sausages, like literally, a sausages party. But also it's a dudes-only party so figuratively it's a sausages party as well.
Noah: Daniel, I must confess, you are testing the limits of my one-room schoolhouse education with all those fancy words.
* Noah: Ye haven't truly lived until you've had Dyck meat in your mouth.
* Noah: Breath deeply, for the air is thick with the sweet scent of Dyck meat.
* Wayne: What'd I tell you about being half rude?
Daryl: Well, I wasn't half rude.
Wayne: …
Daryl: Well, I wasn't half rude.
Wayne: Hey, what's your favourite football movie?
Daryl: Rudy.
Wayne: Is it really? I would've thought you said *Varsity Blues*.

## Cultural References

* Stewart's shout of "get over here" is the catchphrase of the character Scorpion in the *Mortal Kombat* franchise.

## Trivia

* Reilly and Jonesy are evidently still living with their billet families (it is not clear whether it is Jonesy's or Reilly's room that is shown), despite this being a junior hockey institution, something they aged out of at the end of Season 1. It is possible that they are living with former billet families under other arrangements, and merely refer to them as such since that was their original connection.
