About this episode
Christian Duguay, creator of Valley Heat , breaks down how Doug Duguay, his in-show alter ego, works within a 51% fictional universe. Tight sound design and ad-jingle microplots create an absurd world populated with Canadian foosball biker gangs and rogue car washes. Duguay traces the show's improv roots and why "I'll take that" became its guiding ethos. Plus: RFK Jr. claims that CDC director Susan Monarez once admitted, "I am untrustworthy." And in the spiel, Charlie Kirk's killer has his first court appearance, as the administration all but declares war on leftists.
