This is where this 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.560 is good for us. We're so what's up with the 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.199 there's people recording a podcast in your girl? Just people? 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:38.640 Another couple another husband and wife. Oh my said, I 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.920 was like, this is truly embarrassing. If anyone was to 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.080 see this going on, they would be like, we wouldn't 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:45.959 be embarrassed. I think l A would be embarrassed that 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.840 there is two couple podcasts recording in with and I 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.760 sent her two options. We have like a patio and 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.639 the garage, and I said studio one or two is yours. 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.160 Whichever and whichever you need have been why this is 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.160 this is? I did, like you mentioned I have a 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.960 podcast on crooked I did, I think maybe two episodes 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.720 with my podcast partner in studio and all of the 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.280 other ones have been like this over zoom and like, 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.480 thankfully we get along because if not that would have 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.440 been really messy. That's tough though, to just do the 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:26.320 two in person. And then I didn't know each other before, 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.840 so you're like literally building chemistry over zoom during the 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.720 course of this year. Do you have any do you 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.520 have any ship you need to get off your chest? 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.360 You know that. I'm like that I should tell, well, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:42.440 you know, any greement this is to air. She doesn't 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.880 turn her mike on sometimes it's pretty fucking right. Well, 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.680 and like my heart obviously really cares about the quality. 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.640 But I was about to be like Crooked really cares 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.880 about the quality. They both care. It's just hard, like 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.760 it's hard to yet we have no we have no. 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.640 I remember we the week that everything shut down.

Oh I get very drunk, and so that 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.079 show got canceled. So I was just like, Okay, let's 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.520 just get drunk anyways, like in the studio and like 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.760 all uber homes.

You guys are 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:53.200 sports couples goals I mean, we have gotten in a 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.840 fight because I said he doesn't care about the cults enough. 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.320 Do you have a basketball or a football team? Oh, 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.680 I mean, I guess it's the Rams right now. But 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:07.000 it was to say, I mean it is the Colts, 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.760 but I adopted. Yeah, we we got in a fight 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.480 and I said I didn't want to watch the Colts game. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.360 And that was the wrong thing to say. I forgot. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.320 That cuts deeper than most things that we ever getting 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.960 fights over. I just have adopted so many things that 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.720 you love, but I always love the best thing. That's 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.120 like me being a front runner. I know, but I'm 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.560 saying the best thing is the Colts. Why don't you holler? Okay, 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.560 thank you? But where am I from? I'm sorry we 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.120 got We're getting so off topic. I am from a 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.480 very very small town, like two and a half hours 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.800 outside of Toronto called or No. My high school was 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.199 on a highway and people used to ride their snowmobiles. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.040 There was like a snowmobile parking lot at my high school. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:54.520 We were like out in the boonies and um, all 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.640 my friends had babies at seventeen basically, and I was 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.840 the only one that escaped. Yeah, so is that. I mean, 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.320 I honestly did not know you were Canadian for a 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:08.040 while because you have almost no accent. Because I got 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.680 made fun of so much when I first moved to 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.320 the States. When I first moved to the States, I 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:16.080 was working for Major League Soccer. I want, okay, so 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.600 I'll try and tell this story very quickly. I don't 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.800 have So I was going to school for broadcast journalism. 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:23.920 I hated it. I didn't want to do sports, I 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.400 didn't want to do news nothing, and so I dropped out. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:28.880 And I was just like, I want to be an actress, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.679 Like improv was my favorite class at journalism school. So 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.480 it's like I'm doing the wrong thing. So I dropped out, 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.520 and I was so broke that I was stealing toilet 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.199 paper from the sushi restaurant down the street. Like that's 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.679 what That's what the mood was like in my life. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.839 And so I started applying for all of these jobs 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:47.960 while I was waiting to go back into school, and 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:52.080 I saw on Facebook this ad for the Toronto FC 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.760 dream job. Toronto FC was our major league soccer team. 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.600 Did not watch soccer at all. I played when I 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.200 was younger. I was like, always played sports, but so 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.960 I applied for it not knowing anything, just like bullshitted 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.559 my way through the bio. I don't even know how 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.120 I got chosen into a smaller category because the way 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.720 I don't shouldn't even tell the story. But the way 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.040 that I led my opening sentence was like, besides my 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.000 love for balls, like I thought, it was like my 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.800 attempt at trying to be like I think is going 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:23.680 to catch their attention. I think we know how you 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.040 got to the second round now, I think they were like, okay, 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.000 top of the The first round was just like a 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.960 little bit about yourself and I went to school for 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.240 like being on camera, so um. And then the second 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.120 round was like send in a video of why you 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.360 should have this job. So I wrote a sketch, um. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:41.960 And then I got top five and I was just 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.240 like I should not be here. And then I fucking won. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.280 I just swear on this pot. Yeah yeah, yeah, I won. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.160 I won. I beat out over five people. I remember 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.960 when I went in for my interview, I had the 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:57.280 captain's name written on my hand and pen like I 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.520 was so so out of the loop. And then I 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.960 learned everything that I could about soccer and like being 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.760 on camera. I was like shooting all my own stuff. 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.560 It was like when YouTube was first happening. So I 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.960 was shooting all of these sketches and like funny bits. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.120 And then Major League Soccer and the head office in 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.040 New York City emailed me one day and they're like, 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.960 we've been seeing your stuff. It's really fun and like 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.880 weird and different. Would you ever consider working in New 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.360 York City? And I had been in New York once 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.880 in my life before. I had a Carnegie Delhi napkin 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.960 on my desk, like on my little bulletin board and 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.920 I was just like, oh my god. Yeah, And so 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.720 it took a little while from my visa to go through. 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.640 And then I went and worked in New York and 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.560 was like in a I was the only female in 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.320 office with like thirty five dudes, and all they would 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.800 do my It was so embarrassing. I do all my 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:48.280 hits in front of the entire office. It was when 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.800 I first start that I had a serious like Canadian 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.760 twang and um so every time I would say like 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:01.440 tomorrow or sorry and like so I had to fix 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.480 it so quickly because I was like this fucking sock, 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.960 So did you do dialect or you just like no, no, 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.840 I just there's there was really only a couple of 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.480 words that really came out with it's just fixing a 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.840 couple of owls um. But yeah, thankfully I was able 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:17.560 to kind of get rid of it, because I think 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.240 that that's kind of help if I was super Canadian. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.080 I mean, like Jay and Dan, who are huge Canadian 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.920 sports broadcasters, they came to the States and they didn't 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.320 get rid of their accent, and that was like one 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.240 of the things that a lot of people talked about it. Yeah, 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.160 so that's insane. That is really insane, Like that's awesome 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.920 that you you fixed it. I mean I feel like 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:42.040 even saying fixed it is like yeah, it's like it's 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.800 five voice. It just it sounds a little like honk, 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:51.400 like honky tonk, like Canadian Canadian accents. Sometimes when I 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.680 go home, it's it reminds me of like a southern drawl. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.160 Like if I'm home and I started drinking and I'm 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.680 around my brothers and like my cousins, like I really 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.960 start to sound a little bit like a hillbilly. And 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.399 so I think I kind of wanted to fix it 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.280 because I didn't love the sound of it well. And 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.840 they always say this, like, even if you're from the 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.560 South or the Northeast and you want to be a 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.600 newsperson on camera there like you need to, especially like 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.520 a Wisconsin, Minnesota those places too, They're like, watch these 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:24.200 Midwestern accents and then that is what they want people 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.160 to have. So even if you have like a drawl 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.280 out here, they're gonna they're gonna beat it out of you. 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.000 But well, even I mean being wanting to be an 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.439 actress to like, I couldn't just go an audition to 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.080 be an American girl with the Canadian accent, so I 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.400 had to get rid of it. Well it sounds great now, 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.000 but I'd love to hear drunk around your cousins too. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.199 Oh yeah, it gets pretty nice. My boyfriend's just like you. 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:51.280 It gets fully turned off. I sound a little country sometimes, 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.440 you sound very much from where you're from. Okay, wow 0:17:54.840 --> 0:18:01.080 felt Oh yeah that sounded really okay. So so excited 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.280 to do this. My grandmother was Canadian. My parents are 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.639 from Niagara Falls, New York, but like spent their whole 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.720 I love doing stand up in Canada. It's like one 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.720 of my favorite places to perform all over. Just lovely 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.359 wonderful people we could learn a lot from. Okay, So 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.679 for our purposes, you are going to start with your 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.800 number three, and then we'll go in sending. I can 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.159 never remember, um, but are you ready to lead us 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:30.320 up with your number three pick for greatest Canadian athletes? Yes? 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.879 I am ready. Okay, So here's the thing my brain. 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.119 When you guys asked me top three Canadians, my brain 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:40.200 instantly went to my three favorite athletes who have played 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:44.199 sports in Canada. But that's definitely not Canadian. No, But 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.560 I'm just saying I have a bunch of honorable mentions 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:51.240 that I count as like honorable Canadians. But I did 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:55.439 come up with three, uh, three solid Canadians. Okay, so 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.920 you want my number three, I'm gonna go for three. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:00.920 I didn't want to go all hockey because you could 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.680 easily do that. I think I'm going to land on 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.480 like a Steve Nash situation. I think he's a pretty 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.440 solid a Canadian that I can be proud of. I'm 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.400 gonna Nelly for Tato song. There's a lot of things, 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:18.159 but he is hands down the most famous Canadian basketball player, 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.679 and so I also think that makes him probably the 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:28.840 most famous Canadian athletes outside of kind of the one 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:32.000 we're probably all thinking about. But basketball is so huge 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:36.280 in America. It's much bigger than hockey, and so Steve 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:41.040 Nash is really the Canadian poster child. I think so. Yeah, 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.320 I mean I kind of wish he's never No, he 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.040 didn't play for any Canadian team, so I kind of 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:50.720 wish I kind of wish he did. Like my number 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.560 one on this list was Vince Carter, Like I wish 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.120 that he was Canadian so much because he is the Canadian. 0:19:56.160 --> 0:20:00.880 He really is the Canadian basketball camps, even though Steve 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.840 Nash exists, like he is the number one Canadian basketball player. 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.720 I was obsessed with him. I honestly want to kick 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:12.199 Steve off the list. Yeah, that's interesting, Like do people 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:17.840 ever fault these Canadian stars that come to America. I 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.520 mean he played in Phoenix to like Phoenix is the 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:25.240 antithesis of Canada. I was thinking about this today and 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.159 I was thinking about the Lakers and like how you 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.760 guys are always able to get these like rad players, 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.560 and how you were able to build a team around 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:33.560 Lebron James. Because so many people want to go and 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.920 live in Los Angeles, nobody wants to go and play 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:40.200 a basketball season which goes through the winner in Toronto, 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.840 Like Toronto in the summer is sweet. But like the 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:45.840 thing about the Raptors is like we kind of have 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.200 to get lucky with like a rag tag team like 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.960 we did, because we're never gonna get this. Like if 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:55.200 we got a huge star, I'd be like, I ship 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.400 my pants, you know what I mean, Like I'd be like, why, 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.000 how how did this happen? But with like he was 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.920 the first star that we had, like three years after 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.119 our team started, and he was who like brought us 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:10.959 to the playoffs for the first time. And he's like 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.800 what the Raptors stood for. And like, you know, when 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:15.880 you think of the Raptors, you think of Vince Carter 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.040 like that he is, he is the Raptor And so 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:21.640 I feel he, you know, he's just like the king 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:23.840 of Canadian basketball in that way, I think, And we're 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:25.879 not We're probably never gonna have one like that again. 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:29.560 And so he was fully adopted and beloved for sure. 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.000 If he gets into if he stayed longer, I think, yeah, 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:34.959 it's um, you know, it's funny you brought up like 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.280 Toronto and you know, players going to play in whatever 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.000 city do you want to live in. So, I mean, 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:43.359
