**Nut** is the third episode of Season 7 of *Letterkenny*.

## Synopsis

Dan’s private viewing habits are exposed.

## Cold Open

On the set of *Crack N Ag*, Dan reports Professor Tricia was unable to speak at a women's conference because her flight was overbooked, and has been tweeting about it ever since. Katy rolls her eyes.

> Okay, Prefessor Tricia. We get it. You're white. — Katy
>
>

She says there is nothing more white than complaning about an airline experience; the others debate this.

The broadcast begins, but Daryl is clearly upset, over a road rage incident. He was handcuffed—figuratively—when another driver told him to "Suck my Johnson"—words he had not heard since 1998. The others point out he should have retorted with a bigger johnson, like "suck my Jack Johnson" (either the guitar player or the hockey player) or "suck my Lyndon Baines Johnson."

The first caller is put through—the driver from Daryl's incident, who accuses him of telling tales out of school, and to suck his johnson. Daryl is prepared for this: "suck my Jack Johnson," he replied. The caller asks which one, and Daryl does not reply.

> Air ball. — Wayne

## Plot Summary

    Dan is alone in bed with his laptop computer open, engrossed in a video. A woman's voice on the speaker is demanding her white boy's nut—some big boy balloon knot butt nut. He is intrigued.

Later, he, Daryl, Katy, Marie-Fred, and Wayne are seated at the bar at MoDean's. Katy observes the shortening days, and all lament the approach of winter. Dan is distracted, though. Gail observes "You are white, boy"—meaning he looked like a ghost.

> I've seen… things. — Dan
>
>

They ask him what he has seen. He admits it was porn, but is "uncomfortables" saying anything more about it. Eventually, the decide it will be easier for everyone just to watch the video.

    At the gym, a group of women walk up to Reilly and Jonesy, led by Mia-Sofia. But since the Letterkenny Irish have folded, they are no longer technically hockey players, and the women lose interest and walk off. Bonnie McMurray walks up and mentions that her younger brother has gone out west to play junior hockey just that morning. They console her with the possibility a billet brother will take him under his wing—or that a billet sister will take him down. She is not worried.

> Girls love hockey players, boys. — Bonnie McMurray
>
>

But Reilly and Jonesey—and Tyson and Joint Boy—reflect that they miss the game, and the babes.

The folks at MoDean's is watching the video around a deeply uncomfortable Dan, who finally shuts the laptop lid. Gail has already seen the video, as has Stewart, and Katy. Gail asks Dan directly if he nutted, startling him, and the group launches into imitations of the porn actress, shouting out the kinds of nut they want.

> Mm, gimme some of that scallion spinach spanakopita nut. — Daryl
>
>

Dan feels "compromised," but they try to reassure him that everyone watches porn. Dan asks what it is they watch, and all take swigs of their beer.

    Bonnie, still talking to the boys at the gym, asks them what they miss most about the game: it is the babes / snipes / rockets / broads. What they miss second most is scoring, i.e. "cheese." They begin rattling off the names of cheeses, soon joined by Ron and Dax who offer a few more. Racking up assists, shaking out the flow, and hazing schmelts are a few other things they miss. Speaking of which, they see the rookie lifting weights from a distance.

The gang at MoDean's is back around Dan's laptop, sharing their favorite porn. Not all of it is to Dan's taste.

> This is fuckin' weird, Dary. You're fuckin' weird, Dary. — Dan
>
>

    Katy declares the porn actress is making the fakest screams she has ever heard, but Gail does not think so, or maybe Katy has never had one that big. Roald notes that Stewart is that big, so big in fact, that he passed out once when he got an erection when having Gae sex. He waxes poetic about the earth-shattering Gae sex he has had, until Roald quietly points out that Gae is the name of his ex-girlfriend, then observes that for all the porn they have watched that day, they have not watched any gay porn. Daryl, Wayne, Marie-Fred, and Katy quickly excuse themselves.

    Reilly and Jonesy walk up to the Rookie and discover he is on a team—he was picked up by a senior AAA team in the city after the Irish folded. They are shocked to hear that he is on a team and they are not, but he suggests they change that, as he walks off accompanied by Mia-Sophia and the other women.

> Girls love hockey players, boys. — The Rookie
>
>

To cheer them up, Bonnie offers to buy them a beer, and the three walk off, arms linked.

Dan is the only ones left at the bar, and Gail hopes he feels a little better about what turns him on. He says he realizes that what people watch is their own business, and not to be agreed upon by everybody. Gail flicks a bar nut from the bowl and asks Dan casually:

> You wanna get that nut? White boy? — Gail
>
