Edmonton’s very own Syd Campbell comes on to tell us about their curiously named high school and their hometown bar The Black Dog. They name our town’s first street, build a bowling alley/office supply store, and build a piece of lore that involves the mayor and his wife that the town will NEVER get over.

Comedian, director and video game streamer Peter Carlone (aka Solid Content) comes by to build a viaduct right the through the center of our town, covering up a beloved ravine. He builds a Gregg’s pasty and sandwich shop, and a museum of unnecessary objects. He also tells an incredible story about being in a production of The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe.

Actress and comedian, Ese Atawo (FX’s Legion) talks about being super athletic, growing up in Nigeria and Toronto and her king-like laugh. For the town she builds a ski-hill and pitches an amusement park. Plus, a poorly crafted text has everyone in town thinking they’ve won a million dollars and gets them all talking about the 1995 film Major Payne.

Mark and Ryan host another mini-sode where they issue corrections, establish more rules for the town, and even read a listener suggestion for the town.

They also build something called a Tot Lot for our town.

Comedian and causal raver, Kevin Vidal stops by the show to start a rave scene in our town. He also quite accidentally builds an entire industrial park, and a newspaper printing press.

Our town now has a map! Created by Townie D’Leen, Mark and Ryan pour over all of the details in the map and do some scenes. They also get on their horses for the round-up and read some emails which inspire a secret society barber shop, and a very bizarre conspiracy around french horns in the town.

Actor and comedian, Cam MacLeod joins the show to talk about being a “scrubber” growing up in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. He builds two arcades for our town with a hilarious rivalry. He gives the town a pants store where the slogan is: “Where you always know where the legs do meet”. A town clock gets built by local artist/grifter Jessna.
