How's It Going, Eh?

by Yip


Thanks For Caneighda!

Hey, hosehead! Did you remember to get the turkey we wanted?

Yeah, but it wasn't very easy. Equestria is full of vegetarians that got all weird-like when I asked for one. It's like they haven't even heard of meat! And that means no back bacon!

Loonie, you are aware that you could've just bought it here, right?

I did buy it here.

But you still didn't have to go there to look for one. Wait, what were you doing over in Equestria, anyway?

Wait, we're on the air, you must've accidentally hit the record button!

No, uh, that was totally my plan all along. So, for all you folks out there, good day! I'm Maple Canuck and this is my brother, Loonie.

How's it going, eh?

Do that coo thing, I like it.

If you haven't noticed, I'm too busy cutting the turkey. It's not easy in a small recording room, eh?

Oh, on that note folks, the radio supervisor liked what he saw in us the last time you heard us. We got lots of fan mail, and that impressed him too. The other important ponies running this station didn't like our style much, but his word is law.

So here we are, eh?

I seriously think you're overdoing the whole 'eh' thing, eh?

Nah, I think we've balanced it oot enough, eh?

So the topic today, as you may have noticed, is Thanksgiving. At least, it is up here in the Great White North.

Yeah, they thought I was nuts in Equestria when I said it was Thanksgiving. Why wouldn't you have it earlier like us? You get to eat sooner, while you guys are getting all cold in your homes when you do eat!

Yeah, but we get cold all year, hosehead.

It's not cold! It's just overly hot down south!

Okay, whatever you say, eh? We can go along with whatever you feel. The last time you were here, you didn't even have a tuque on!

Because you took it from me.

We are not getting into this conversation again. It's supposed to be a thankful time, you know?

I'm pretty thankful for Caneighda. I mean, where else can you get the best beer and back bacon?

Not to mention this delicious turkey. Thanks for bringing it!

See? More thanks for Thanksgiving!

...We don't know much else about the holiday than what we've already said, folks. Just turkey and saying thanks is all we know, really.

Oh, I can be an expert again on the show and tell you all about it!

Take off, you know less than I do.

You're right! *snort*

So good day! We'll be doing this again come Halloween time, and it's sure to be a scarier—

Hold on a second, Maple. Why don't we read some fan mail we got?

Oh, yeah! We decided that we'd be answering a piece of fan mail every time we're here doing whatever we're doing.

Then hurry up and do it, I want some of that turkey!

Alright, calm yourself. We got this piece from Sunny Gaze on Everfree Isle. Where even is that, anyway?

How do you expect me to know?

Not sure. We must be pretty popular if we're really getting attention from places we haven't even heard of!

Some Equestrians don't even know where Caneighda is, it's not a big deal.

Alright, now for the letter... never mind. It's not important. So there's our Thanksgiving broadcast, hope—

Hey now, we said we'd read every fan mail!

It's none of your concern, Loonie— hey! Give that back!

"So, I've been wondering if Loonie Canuck was available. I just love the sound of his voice, it makes me squee all over!"

Ugh... see, folks; Loonie is an egotistical hosehead. If someone compliments him, he gets all showy.

Squee? What does that even mean? Let's continue! "I really don't like that other guy, the one who thinks he's better than Loonie. I wish it was just the Loonie show!"

And here it comes.

Beat that, you hosehead! My voice is better than yours! Who needs an education now?

Take off.

You're just jealous of my superior skill!

You know what? Cooroocoocoocoocoocoocoo!

Wait, what are you doing? Are you ending the show right after my moment of glory?

Good day, I'm Maple Canuck and this is my brother, Loonie!

I'm warning you! Take off!

Have a good Thanksgiving!
