Outdoor Living Network Ed's Up, Tree Planting

[Mike]

From an reddit AMA with the Barenaked Ladies:

Not a question, but Ed I love watching you on Ed's Up. It's a great show, but damn you suck at planting trees! As for the rest of you guys, thank you for all the great songs throughout the years. As most Canadians, I was hooked after hearing Lovers in a Dangerous Time, and have been a fan ever since.

I don't suck at planting trees. Tree planting just sucks!

“Tree planting was the worst,” says Robertson, who capped off a two-day trip to Winnipeg yesterday with some Search and Rescue Technician training at the Canadian Forces’ 17 Wing Winnipeg compound. “I would have a little more understanding of tree planters if they were under watched guard, with rifles pointed at them the whole time. But for eight cents a tree, to plant toilet paper for the lumber companies, f— that.”

It looks like it's Season 1, Episode 4. In Flin Flon, Manitoba.

TV.com shows it as being available on Amazon instant watching and something called Vudu, but I couldn't get either to work.

No worries!

I watched it. They're a little unnecessarily dickish to Ed on camera (worst rookie ever/shittiest planter ever...what do you really expect), but all in all, it was pretty good. Decently done/solid humour/etc.

Barenaked Ladies - Never is Enough ;

I never had to spend a summer planting trees
I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch
doubled over on my hands and knees
I never spent a single day in retail
