Letterkenny

One of the favourite story devices of Team Risky Fuel is to get actual experts in something to analyze the work of dilettantes and tourists in that field.

In the most recent case, Sarah assembled a team of savvy literary types to look at the sophistication level of the trash talk spouted by pro fighter Nate Diaz.
