When I saw Young Farts Trailer Parts on Amazon Prime, I figured it was a spin-off of the Canadian series Trailer Park boys, but it's actually a reality show starring Dawson (left) and Jagger (right) Glowatsky, brothers from Vegreville, Alberta,who run an rv salvage business. Why is rv salvage a tv series?
Jacob Tierney was a fan, and approached to ask if they wanted to do a reality show.
And Letterkenny and Shoresy?
Maybe there's more to these guy than meets the eye.
Scene 1: They introduce themselves and their schtick, and then the town of Vegreville, where "there's not a lot goin' on" (to quote Corner Gas). It's flat.
Dawson has been gone for six days, having a baby (with his wife, I assume). He explains: "We is who we is. We smoke, we drink, we swear. We never had real jobs, and I dropped out of high school. That's what sets us apart. We don't know what the fuck we're doing."
Scene 2: A tour of the warehouse. They introduce Jim the Stripper, who asks "Where's my pole, boys?", although he's not that kind of stripper: he uses his impressive biceps to cut up rvs.
Dory, the Inventory Manager, who posts the parts for sale online. She enjoys saying "Fuck you, Jim."
Shipping Manager Tressa. She enjoys weed.
Mom Teresa, "the glue that holds it all together."
Dad Cam, whose coffee mug caught my attention. There are three reasons why a guy might own a cup with a blond hunk in a speedo on it, but only one reason why he would be filmed for television holding it.
Scene 3: Time for a team meeting: They're down 30% in sales from last year, and since they are a seasonal business (people don't buy rvs or parts in the winter), they have to hustle and make this summer count.
Their yard is almost empty, because Dawson, who is in charge of getting rvs to strip (for parts) or flip (for resale), has been busy having a baby. So he'll have to step up to fill the yard.
Cut to Dawson making some phone calls.
