Moira and David get drunk trying to name a new wine from Herb Ertlinger's winery. And Alexis leads the ladies into a workout routine that is a little more of a cult. We hear from Dan Levy, Noah Reid, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Annie Murphy, Emily Hampshire and Sarah Levy in exclusive on-set interviews about the episode.For all our Schitt's Creek content, go to EW.com.

2019-04-2007 minThe Irish Spark#10 - Alex Gordon: LexitWe talk with British Trade Unionist and RMT rail driver Alex Gordon about the working class’s decision to leave the European Union. Lexit which is the left wing exit of the UK from the EU is a materialist look at the reasons why the majority of the population voted to leave and is distinct from Brexit in that it isn’t focused on racism or xenophobia. The Lexit argument is entirely absent from the popular public discourse so we hope you find this conversation a refreshing break from what you’ve been exposed to in the main stream media...
