4YE Entertainment<\/a> brand sat down with The Brandon Gonez Show to talk legacy, laughter, and leveling up \u2014 and also, to confirm that they really did blow up a car this season.<\/p>\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got to set little things for yourself to just check off a box and say, \u2018If we get that second season, we\u2019ll blow it up.\u2019 And then you get there, and you blow it up, it feels bigger, because you earned it,\u201d Trey said.<\/p>\n
FROM YOUTUBE TO CRAVE: A DECADE IN THE MAKING<\/p>\n
Long before the bright lights and press tours, Jae and Trey were pioneers of Canada\u2019s digital comedy scene. As founders of 4YE Entertainment, the duo built an audience of millions through their sketches and recurring characters like T-Dot Goon, earning them a reputation for witty, hyper-local storytelling that resonated deeply with Toronto viewers.<\/p>\n
That authenticity, coupled with their chemistry and sharp comedic timing, helped The Office Movers stand out in Canada\u2019s streaming landscape. The show follows two brothers navigating the chaos of their father\u2019s moving company, blending real family experiences with exaggerated workplace humour. It\u2019s equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, drawing inspiration from their father\u2019s three-decade career in office moving.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been in the dark just working and providing for his family,\u201d Trey explained. \u201cSo for us to make a show about that \u2014 to turn his grind into art \u2014 it\u2019s a full-circle moment. Now he\u2019s getting recognized on the job. People come up to him and say, \u2018Yo, you\u2019re the office mover!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
REPRESENTATION THAT HITS HOME<\/p>\n
When The Office Movers debuted in 2024, the response was instant \u2014 and overwhelmingly positive. Audiences praised the show for its authentic portrayal of Toronto\u2019s multicultural communities and everyday humor rooted in Caribbean, African, and Latinx family life.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt literally felt like a win for everybody, and you could really feel the love,\u201d Jae said. \u201cPeople told us, \u2018I\u2019ve been watching you for years.\u2019 It\u2019s like their lottery ticket won. Man, just so much love. It was amazing just to walk around the city and talk to people and see how many different people it hit from different regions.\u201d<\/p>\n
That city pride runs deep in The Office Movers. The brothers intentionally filmed at recognizable Toronto and GTA landmarks, from local restaurants to suburban neighborhoods, giving viewers a sense of place often missing in Canadian TV.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can watch the show and say, \u2018Wait, hold on, where\u2019d you guys film this?\u2019\u201d Trey said. \u201cWe kind of really wanted to do that here and have something for Toronto where it\u2019s like, people can go around, find certain things, certain locations, and it\u2019s neat just to do that and give that back to the city. That\u2019s what we wanted \u2014 it\u2019s everyone\u2019s win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even their parents are seeing the impact. \u201cFor my dad, it\u2019s different when he can say, \u2018My sons are on TV,\u2019\u201d Trey said.<\/p>\n
When asked what fans can expect from season two, the brothers promised more of everything that made season one a hit.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is further developed,\u201d Jae said. \u201cSeason one was very dull and dark, which was on purpose. Season two \u2014 a little more color. We got to shoot through spring and summer, so it pops. Everyone\u2019s comfortable now; the way they bond is so natural.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s season one on steroids,\u201d Trey added. \u201cWe stayed true to season one, but we just added more of everything that you already liked about the show, and went a little bit further.<\/p>\n
And when it came to those cameos, the brothers teased a surprise they\u2019d kept secret for nearly a year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was so hard to keep that surprise,\u201d Trey said. \u201cWe told a very small group \u2014 not even our parents. A year of holding it in, I felt like I was pregnant. Then it finally happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
The surprise, they confirmed, was Drake, who makes a cameo in the new season.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was cool for Drake to come out and have some fun with us,\u201d Jae said. \u201cHe literally came on set and said he missed TV and wanted to be back doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n
But beyond the humour, the brothers spoke about continuing to push boundaries for Canadian TV.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got to ask, what are we not doing?\u201d Trey said. \u201cWhat\u2019s Instagram not doing? What\u2019s TikTok not doing? Then go do it. We want to see where Canadian production is cheaping out \u2014 saying, \u2018Let\u2019s fake it here instead of filming it for real.\u2019 No, let\u2019s do it right.\u201d<\/p>\n
They also mentioned hoping to collaborate with Canadian comedy legends.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019d love to get Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Seth Rogen,\u201d Jae said.<\/p>\n
Before signing off, Trey shared a message directly to their fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for supporting us over the years, whether you just jumped on now or you\u2019ve been with us for a long time,\u201d he said. \u201cThis means nothing if it\u2019s not going to an audience. Anything you want to do at home that you\u2019re motivated to do, just go ahead and do it. It\u2019s so crazy to be sitting here on press runs asking myself, \u2018Why am I on the news?\u2019 But the answer is just, \u2018Why not?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
And with that, the Richards brothers closed another full-circle moment \u2014 from their dad\u2019s moving truck to national television, from YouTube sketches to blowing up cars on television.<\/p>\n
The Office Movers season two comes out on Fri, Nov. 7, exclusively on Crave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
