Episodes
In this episode the boys hit the sheet for one of Canada's favorite sports, Curling. The Pacific Rim Curling League shows them it really isn't as easy as it looks.
The boys try their hand at Canada's favorite past time, Hockey. Teaming up with local Gay Men's Hockey team, The Cutting Edges, Rob and Sean learn everything from puck handling to goal tending but their biggest challenge is staying on their feet.
In training to become officers of the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), Rob and Sean visit the VPD's chief recruiter, Sergeant Steve Elson, who gets them to write the entrance exam, which is based primarily on grade 12 Math and English. Beyond passing the exam, Elson talks about what they look for as characteristics for a good police officer. He then takes them on a their next exam, a 2.4 km run around Brockton Point in Stanley Park, which they must complete in under 12 minutes. This test may be difficult for each of them for different reasons. Elson then takes them to see Becky Swan, the VPD Fitness Coordinator, who will administer the POPAT - Police Officers Physical Ability Test - an obstacle styled course which mimics many maneuvers police officers face in real life. The push-pull machine may be the most difficult aspect of the POPAT, which has 4 minute 15 second pass time. They are then taken to the new VPD Tactical Training Centre, where they learn safety aspects from Sergeant Clive Milligan and Constable Darren Hall. This training includes how and when to use the baton, pepper spray, and most importantly their pistol. They are then taken to the scenario room to do some role playing. The experts then decide whether Rob or Sean would make the better police officer.
Even though they know it's in large part acting, Rob and Sean are a bit nervous the first time they step into the ring to train to become pro wrestlers, as they learn that it is still a physically demanding activity, and that most of the equipment, such as the mat, ropes and turnbuckles, aren't as soft as they thought. ECCW wrestlers Scotty Mac, Mark Vellios aka 'Gorgeous' Michelle Starr, and Artemis Spencer show them some basic moves. Rob and Sean are, however, most excited about coming up with their wrestling personae and filming a promo as their characters. "Good" wrestler Sean is assisted by who will be his tag team partner, Riley Vincent aka El Phantasmo, while "bad" wrestler Rob is assisted his tag team partner, Scotty. But Sean and Rob have to bring the energy to show night, that energy which has to meet or exceed their promo to get the crowd pumped and excited.
Rob and Sean's next job is one they consider stereotypically gay: working in a salon and spa. They meet with Kim McIver, the Division Director for Eveline Charles Academy in Vancouver. Kim tells them that 90% of making a salon/spa customer happy is in customer relations, much of which is covered in the initial customer consultation, which Kim teaches them how to conduct. Then under the instruction of Jessica Robertson and Vanessa Jellis, they are taught how to do three salon treatments: a pedicure, an upper lip wax, and a hair cut of long straight hair. They are allowed to practice on mannequins for the hair cuts, but necessarily practice on live people, albeit salon staff without problems, for the pedicure and lip wax. But judgment day arrives when they are required to perform all three treatments on a test subject of their own bringing, Sean who ends up bringing his own trusting sister, Lindsay Horlor.
In the third season of this OUTtv Original Series we've mixed things up a bit. Rob Easton is back as host, but this time round we have Adam Rollins and Tommy D learning a new range of jobs and talents.
