On December 15, 2020, I had the pleasure of speaking with K. Trevor Wilson via Zoom, as embedded below. Among other topics, we discussed the upcoming season of Letterkenny — one of my favorite television shows on TV these days — our mutual appreciation for professional wrestling and Canadian comedy; much appreciation goes to Daniel Shehori for connecting me with Wilson.
