it's time to get on the main train here on
the backstage Pass. I love this too because if you

new artist of today and of course out there, even yesterday,
nineties country out there. She's got a little bit of
everything with her music. Kelsey Maine joining us here on

(01:14):
the program. What's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm having a great old time with you, Brandon.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
What it's good to be having fun out there too.
We need to have a little more fun in this
world today that we live into. Well, let's get to
know you a little bit backstory. I mean, proudly representing Ontario,
the beautiful province up there in Canada. I've not been there.
I've been to Alberta, but I know it's just as
beautiful out there too. First of all, congratulations to the
Toronto Blue Jay just had to get that out of
the way for the World Series that I wanted them

(01:42):
to win, so I had a little bit of.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
A sore spot still, but we're really proud of our guys.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
You should be. And I'll tell you this, as being
an Astros fan down her Houston, I hate the Dodgers,
So if that says anything right there, you know who
I was rooting for in Toronto to capture it. But
you know what, there's always next year and they'll be back. Hey,
let's get to know you a little bit mentioned Ontario,
and you've traveled a lot too and been in this
thing called music for a while now too, putting out
some great tunes. And we'll get to all the great

(02:10):
music here and just a little bit too. But talk
to me about your upbringing, the background, the connection to
music from a young age.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well, I grew up right across from from Detroit. Like
it's just one river that separates Windsor, Ontario from Detroit,
and there's a lot of cross back and forth. And
basically every radio station growing up was I listened to
all the strongest signals, so they were all American stations

(02:39):
and all from Detroit. So I have very heavily influenced
American background with my music and television and all that stuff.
And then I moved to Toronto to pursue music and
I lived there for about ten years, so that's when
I started to actually learn about Canadian music, but it

(03:00):
wasn't until after university.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
So yeah, it's I think it's My style is a
mix of everyone from like Aretha to Aerosmith to Eric Church,
so there's it's like a wide variety of influences and
I try it just makes my heart happy when I'm
able to like combine them all when you.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Look back at all the great things that are happening
in Nashville now and you're seeing more Canadian artists kind
of make the move to Music City a little bit,
or at least spend some time of the year or
part of the year there too, to to kind of
record the music. And of course shows and trips and
things like that too. What amazes you most about I
guess the talent that I guess two part question here,
the talent that's in Nashville, both singer and songwriters, and
then second of all, the talent that's coming from Canada

(03:47):
that moves to Nashville to pursue the career.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I mean, you gotta. It's the same thing with sports too,
like you gotta if you want to play in the
major leagues, you gotta be where the majors are. And
I I kind of compare it to like basketball, like
if you want to play pro basketball, you gotta you
can't just be playing the house leagues. Sou So Yeah,
I think like I'm here in Nashville right now, and

(04:12):
it's just you gotta surround yourself with the best people
in order for you to improve and grow. The fastest
as well. So it's it is the place to be
and everyone says it, but until you actually come here,
then you understand you need to be here.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, when you had your first record come out, I
want to get like the just that debut record as
I go, and when it came out there, I know
COVID was going into that that March of that year too,
and I'm sure some some tough times I mean for
everybody too at the same time, but you did get
a chance to release some great music that I've been
listening to and like building playlists out there too from
all these great songs that are on this record. Fond

(04:53):
memories of that record, and what were you most proud
of to get those songs into the fans hands.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, we we had some crazy session players, so we
recorded majority of that album here in Nashville, And what
was really cool was to have these experienced players on
it who've played with like toured with Dolly Parton and

(05:19):
played with Shania Twain and stuff, and then like for them,
I told them, I say, you know, I know you
guys have done this a million times, but this is
my very first album, so I'm really honored that you're
a part of it and just to have like to
see their eyes just light up and like that's what
they live for and to see them get excited about.

(05:42):
One of my projects was I Think the Coolest Feeling.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's a great album too. We're gonna break up a
few songs down from that record too. But I love
this expression because sports and music overlap here, hence the
word grand slam. Music sports entertainment out there too, and
sometimes I've used this on sports shows that it out
there and tomorrow for like the playoff games we're broadcasting.
This comes down to all or nothing here. It is

Speaker 16 (10:53):
Welcome to another edition of Backstage Pass powered by the
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morell.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
And back here Kelsey Maine on the Backstage Pass again,
presented by our friends out there Barkley Music and Media,
and our friends at Jksuberu jksuberu dot com for your
next car buying experience. All or nothing out there too.
I mentioned it had that sports adage to it too,
which is great and of course many different kind of
memes in life too. When you kind of got this one,
I know it came out in January of this year,

(11:26):
and this really just had that rock kind of feel
that you talked about with the crossover in it, and
you got your hands on this tune, you knew you
were going to do it justice, right, I mean, I
so I wrote it.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
With Brett Cheroki, who is one of he's my favorite
songwriter in this town and that that speaks a lot
because there's a lot of amazing soundwriters here. But so
I was very fortunate to have a time with him,
and we were kind of talking about our careers and

(11:58):
what's led us to this point, and and we've both
been at it for a while, and he's gotten some
really good cuts recently, but it's taken him a long time,
and so we kind of wanted to This is kind
of like a love letter to the industry actually, so
little subliminal message if you want to come and get it,
but regardless, the main train is gone anyways. So but

(12:22):
I just wanted to have something that, like, I've always
been an athlete my whole life, and I just wanted
something that really showed that, like us, us women can
can rock just as hard as any dude out there.
So but but to your point, Brett Brett, I asked him.
I said, well, if you know the direction of the song,

(12:42):
I love his music, Like he's an amazing artist on
his own, So I said, he's like written for Blake
Shelton and Tucker Wetmore and Cody Johnson and stuff. But
he's a great artist himself. I said, who does your stuff?
And then so he said that he does most of
his own stuff. And so I was like, you know

(13:04):
the direction. You know, you wrote it with me, So
would you produce it? And so he said, well, if
we're gonna do it, we're gonna do it right. What's
your budget? Like, we're gonna get the best players on it.
So I said, you know it, we have to do
a justice I think. So we got all the best
players and had the best time. And to see those

(13:26):
session players come back and say they're like, we want
to record a whole album like this, and so it
was cool. It was super fun.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
It leads me to the next question to add for
you too. It's you mentioned about doing it justice in
these songs and you think about now what's coming up
here with the CMA Awards, And then of course you know,
ladies now getting a little bit more respect in country
music too, with not just Queen Bee Lady Wilson, but
I mean everybody coming right behind her, from mentioning Megan
Patrick on Fire to Priscilla Block to Ella Langley to

(13:56):
I mean Hannah Ellis at just one after another, I
think it's a great time to be a fit country artists,
do you Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, And I think like every time every time that
I go out, I just want to make sure I'm
representing us the best way possible and just to show
the world I I like to just kind of go
against any stereotypes too, and just kind of like prove
prove people wrong. Like that's the stubborn redhead in me.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
That you've got competitive nature in you. I can already
see that to your your demeanor the way we talk
to interview that ex athletes would fit this show very
well because you really have that competitive nature in you.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
You do. Yeah, yeah, I you know, if I'm going
to do something, I'm going to do it right. And
uh and I'm and I'm just stubborn as hell. So
just one one good way to motivate me is tell
me that I can't And.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
So I need you and my CrossFit five am because
they say the same thing about us in there. Oh yeah,
he's forty some years old heat when they finished the workout,
he can't do it, No, he can do it. There
there's some guys even older than me, and they CrossFit
kind of hit class that I take there with one
of our gyms at three four days a week, and
I like to be challenged somebody to tell me that,
you know, I can't do something out there too. So

(15:17):
you and I we kind of fit the mold right there. Hey,
speaking of this one back in July, I loved the
title because you took a song that loved this Georgia
off my mind and did this one justice. I loved
this one.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Tell us a little backstory, Well, it was very authentic
and organic. I had. Actually so I had a ten
year relationship that ended. I called off my wedding. It
was a whole thing. And then then I started trying

(15:49):
to date again and then met someone from Georgia who
ended up stealing my heart and then and then it
was like a whirlwind of a relationship and then he
ended up breaking my heart and then so it was
just like I was very scarred after that. And but
it took me a while to get this Georgia boy

(16:12):
off my mind. So that's exactly where the song came from.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
The stories even relationships that make country music too. What
it is, no doubt, big big song for you out there.
February of this year. Loved the title and again, just
one of those tunes that really could make somebody feel
something and give us the lowdown, the breaking bad tune.
I want to talk about this one?

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, yeah, Well actually this Georgia boy also inspired that
one coincidentally. So that was when so he told me
he was. He was like, Kelsey, I didn't I didn't
know anyone like you existed in like I. And then
he said, I wish I met you first because he
came out of a long term relationship too, which kind

(16:56):
of was part of like why I was. He helped
to convince me that like it was meant to be
because we're both kind of in the same spot in
our life. And so I said, well, why do you
wish you met me first? Like I'm the person that
I'm seeing now has gone through all those previous experiences

(17:17):
and this is the person now that I want to
be with. So so that's where the line she might
have got there first, but I'm gonna make it last
came from but last having like the double meaning because
I'll always love to do that with my songwriting. So
last is in like the duration of time. But then
also I realized, when it comes to relationships, the person

(17:40):
that actually wins is the person that comes in last place.
So there's that little competitive side. The only time in
your life I feel like I want to actually come
in last.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
So I love the double connotations you mentioned too. The music,
you can kind of tell where it's going if you
really just sit down and listen to it like I do.
Like I said to a fine tooth comb, this one's
called someone who knows. It's Kelsey Maine. So get on
at the main train at Kelseymaine dot com. Out there
came out September the twenty sixth. Make sure you guys
go give her a follow across social media, just like

(18:13):

(19:06):
you're gonna make a promise, mad.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
To keep it.

Speaker 10 (19:12):

Speaker 10 (20:04):
Three words, better be tamp sure that you mean. If
you ain't gone nothing, nice say you don't see nothing
at all. If you're gonna take hard, hould its side
and don't let go take it from some on the nose.

And if you're gonna make a promise, better to keep it.
And if you're gonna say those three words, better be
tamp shoret you mean. And if you ain't gone oh,

Welcome to another edition of Backstage Pass powered by the
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morell.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, I'm on that main train I have ever since
I found out about her as an artist, So get
on it right now. Tiswell one to Canada's top our,
this out there too, and soon to be in that
female category of those artists we had talked about too.
I could see her just that CMA Awards one day,
or a CMS, just like New Artists of the Year,
Tide of Categories. Maybe a grand ole Opry debut. Just
I like to make predictions out here on the show,

(25:14):
and it's it's good to do that, right I like
to do.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Man, Well, that's that's I got some big shoes to fill,
but I would be more than an honor to do
any of those.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
We'll tell you what. I remember having this special story here.
I told a lot of people were having Lane Wilson
on the on the brand here back in twenty twenty,
and I kind of promoted. I said, hey, you know what,
you're going to break out the prediction just next few
years and well and behold there you go. So it's
it's been known to happen here on the show.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Just to let you know that's really cool. I actually
I actually met Lane here in Nashville, like also years
ago before everything started for her.

Speaker 20 (25:50):
But I.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
So I used to be friends with her ex and
I would I would write with him, and then he
told me one day, he was like, you know, if
you want to write with the best writer that I know,
He's like, write with my girlfriend Laney. And then he
gave me her number and so we connected and we

(26:14):
had to write in the books. And then she had
something that popped up last minute, so she canceled on me.
But uh yeah, so we still have to write again, but.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Shent an email for you met with Kelsey Maine to
write again or something like that too to her management
company out there too. Well, Uh, this is a great
song here. I mean it just came out here in September,
and oh my god, I talk about just doing it justice.
I've listened to it, I don't know, a countless number
of times and looking back this someone who knows is
this is just really good. Like you really took me

(26:47):
back to nineties country, the way it felt, the way
I grew up on a little bit of that Lioln
Wilmack kind of vibe and something like that too. But
you did it your own way and you should be
proud of this. This single is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Ah, thank you so much that that means the world.
It was a I think the most vulnerable I've ever been,
and I just kind of it was like word vomit
that just I was sitting on an airplane with my
thoughts after everything that happened last year when I called
off my wedding and then ended a ten year relationship,

(27:22):
moved out, tried to find love again, got my heart
broken again, and it was like like it was just
all the things that I just felt like I needed
to get off my chest, and it just kind of
all came out on that flight. But I just wanted
to Basically, I just wanted it to serve as like

(27:43):
a reminder to people of the way that you should
treat other people, and I obviously to be faithful and
how how to be in a relationship and the values
that I grew up on. And I just wanted that
to kind of put that reminder out into the world

(28:04):
and hopefully prevent someone else from going through what I
went through.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
So yeah, that's the connection. Yeah, music makes with what
you guys do, is helping somebody else not make those
mistakes and things like that, or get out of a
tough situation not having that support system things like that too,
because it can take on a number of different meanings
out there. I mentioned that record as I go to
because so many great songs you'd put them out as
singles before they came on the album there too, And

(28:31):
one of them was leading off and I love this one,
which was actually one of my favorites off the record,
Woman Waiting Take us through this one, because I really
got to dig into this a little bit some of
the I said, old school Kelsey main stuff, but a
lot of cool things on there, including like Surrender and
good cuts on the album Taking You Home. But that
one really is, you know, set the tone for the

(28:52):
record for me. And I can see why you guys
did a single before putting it on this album. Another
great song, thank you.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
That one. That one was like we just kind of
wanted to put it. So I wrote that with Jason Blaine.
He's another Canadian artist, but he's uh, he's had a
lot of success here in Nashville and uh, but he's
a household name name up in Canada and uh he's
one of another crazy talented songwriters himself. And so he

(29:24):
came into the right with my producer, Doug Romano, and
he was asking me about my journey and stuff and
and we kind of felt like the title like woman
Waiting was like a bit of a subliminal message to
also to the industry. But uh, but no, we we
wanted to kind of write a song about like almost

(29:47):
empowering women and just be like, you know, I'm gonna
be here and and you you better know better, uh
not to keep a woman waiting. So yeah, it's just uh,
I don't know. That's another value that I've always had.
You know, I feel like I'm kind of old fashioned
that way, when I feel like the man needs to

(30:10):
to ask, you know, ask you out on a date,
and like put in the effort and uh and then
and then if they're lucky, then then they get the woman.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I like how you put that too. We do have
to put in the effort, guys, we do. I'm speaking
about my guy audience right now to just ask you.
You never know what it's gonna take you. I've been
married fifteen years now too, got a beautiful daughter, and
I can tell you for me, it was for her,
she said, waiting, and yeah, I met her. They said,
don't meet your wife at a country dance hall, but
you know what, I went against that and it's worked

(30:45):
out just fine. So it's you'll never meet it.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah, guys that can dance, that is that is huge.
I actually wrote I wrote a song because I met
I met a guy who uh uh, he just like
randomly We were at at a bar here in Nashville
and he randomly took my hand and started dancing with me.
And I'm like, okay, like you can, well you can
actually dance. This is great, and I will never turn

(31:14):
down anyone that offers to dance. So he and then
he's like, of course I can dance. I'm from Texas.
So so then I wrote a song called head to
Texas the next day because I'm like, well, if I'm
gonna have if if I'm gonna have exes, at least
I'm gonna have to go to Texas or something like that, Like,

(31:36):
I guess I gotta go. I gotta go to Texas.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
So down, we'll treat you right here in Texas, no doubt.
I love that. I was just one trip to the
dance floor could ignite a song. It's I've not heard
that one, but I'm gonna put that one on my
playlist too as well. Hey, there was the record I
haven't recorded. Oh you haven't recorded it, okay, so I
was gonna.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Do, but I'm looking to actually record it because it's
got that like Texas two step, fun kind of nineties
country feel to it.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Send it to me first, if you're okay with it,
all right, I'm going to put it out there on
my on my website. There's a music video. We'll put
it up there too as well. And that's just love
your stuff so much.

Speaker 14 (32:16):
You know.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
There's another one off that record too, that was I Know,
a single before it came off on the As I
Go album. This was one of your deepest cuts that
I got to hear, but it was you're right about
when you sing it and the way you present it
to people, the way it came off of time being
the most precious commodity we have. And one called about time.
And if people have not heard this one, tell them
a little story of this, because it's a pretty deep

(32:37):
cut here it is.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Thank you well. This one, I actually was in a
contest in Canada and I originally submitted this as part
of the contest and this one got me into the
top three in all of Canada, which is pretty cool.
But this one is so I I think I saw

(33:01):
a news title it's like about time, It's about time,
and you know the saying like yeah, like it's about
time this happens or whatever, and you think that you're
complaining about something. But I've always viewed time as the
most valuable currency you can give to someone, and I

(33:22):
wanted to just I always wanted to write a song
about time and having that comparison with with currency, and
because you can, you can do the same things. You
can spend it, you can waste it, you can steal it,
like all these things that are the exact same thing
as actual tangible money. But time is the most valuable

(33:43):
of all of it. And so I just wanted to
write a song that kind of encaptured all of that.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Well you did that one justice too, and a lot
of these cuts I want to tell people go go
stream them out there at kelseymain dot com because I
again I would not lead you guys astray here on
the backstage pass when looking back, just the artist we
put on, because I'm just going to say, we're our
picky who we put here on this very program too,
and this is fantastic music. Also, another kind of that
wedding edition I got to hear off of there was

(34:10):
twenty twenty four of last year's February and I think
I mentioned the title earlier here. Surrender was something that
just really was like one of those, especially the wedding edition,
love that one of the messages you present to people
and you're out there, you know what, it's just about
time you got to do this, and just a message
the way it came across the way you presented it again,

(34:31):
was fantastic. How did you come up with this idea?

Speaker 1 (34:35):
I was actually leaving my girlfriend's place. She was supposed
to come with me to a righte that I had booked,
and she was like, you what, I'm in the middle
of all these things, like she was moving units from
her condos, and she was like, I got to surrender
my keys at two o'clock. And I was like, okay, well,
like you do your thing, then I'll just go to

(34:57):
the right. So on the way to the just in
the car, usually I get my ideas when I'm just
driving and just replaying that word surrender kind of kept
on circling and kind of, I don't know, echoed in
my head on the way there. And then so I

(35:17):
brought it to my co writer, one of my best
friends here, Jacob Miller, and I said, what about something
that's surrender? And we were talking about I was this
was at the early part of my ten year relationship,
and I was saying, you know, like it's scary to

(35:40):
kind of allow yourself, like I've always kind of had
a wall up, and it's it's just scary to get
into a relationship and fully let all your guard down
and fully let someone in. But I feel like you
need to do that in order to see what the
outcome is going to be, so kind of regardless of

(36:01):
what happens, you're you're gonna need to do that. And
and I mean it was I wrote it to be
a wedding song just to like jump. It's about just
jumping in head head first and just being like, yeah,
like I surrender, like this is I'm fully yours kind
of thing. So yeah, that's that's just where that song

(36:25):
came from.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Sometimes you gotta love and let go right, just let it,
let it, let ride on that one color and let it.
Let it get out there too. Like I said, you
found the one you're meant to be with no doubt.
I tell you what. We can sit here and talk
music all day for an entire hour, but I tell
you what, I know the stations will be like, no,
you're timed out at this this point right here, But
I do want to throw in some kind of fun
questions here at the end. So we talked about the

(36:48):
Blue Jays in the beginning. How much of the World
series did you actually get to watch? Because I kept
I kept For me, it was like, Okay, every time
the Dodgers would just lose, I'll be like, yeah, I'm
wanna watch the next one, the next, next one, and
I'd get so busy life getting away. I just had
to follow it, like ESPN dot com or something like that. Dude,
you get to watch a lot of the series, and
I know Ontario. I saw the excitement from social media

(37:09):
to the Rogers networked everything out there too. Even a
buddy of mine who kept buzzing me to say, hey,
you know the score is this and the fifth inning
or it's the seventh inning or this and this. But
one of the most exciting times for Toronto in this
world series. It really was. Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Actually got to watch. I watched as much as I
possibly could if if I was available and like not
performing or something like that.

Speaker 20 (37:32):
I was.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
I was watching the game. So but yeah, I think
I think it's well. The Blue Jays, I'm a bit
PARTI more partial to and more invested in, Like I
got to sing the anthem for them, and and I
know some people connected to the team, like I've gotten
to hang out with Mark Schapiro myself, so like there's

(37:55):
there's I'm a bit more invested in the Blue Jays,
So yes, I watched because of them.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
But well, I can't wait if you come and get
up there to Rogers Center. And my buddy wants to
fly across from Alberta to get over there and take
that flight. And I want to go from Texas to
do like the Niagara Falls thing and then go up
to Rogers Center and catch a game. And so if
you're ever singing the national anthem, count me in for
to be there in person. Let me know and we'll
try to make the arrangements to be there, no doubt. Yeah,

(38:25):
mentioned like food is great in Nashville. It feels like
now it's like a test market for a lot of
companies that come there and say can we make it?
Can we make it?

Speaker 16 (38:32):
Well?

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Obviously you're in your best cities out there when it
comes down to it for food and culture and obviously
music city, no doubt. But when I'm down there, I'm
always finding myself, you know, embarking upon some other type
of cuisine when you go out for like the takeout side,
what do you like to kind of dig into, whether
it be Mexican food or Indian food or anything for
that matter.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
I go to Cinco de Mayo Mexican food. That is
one of my favorite spots. And you have to get
the case so FuG or something like that, and it's
it's like charizo with the case. I crave that every
time I come here.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Yeah, the top of my wish list right there too.
All had you never been a working musician, uh, what
other career path may may you have taken out there?

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Oh well, I went to school for nursing, so I
guess I would have to actually do that full time.
But but yeah, as soon as I graduated, I kind
of had the the idea of like, am I am
I gonna I've always wanted to do music? Am I
gonna regret not trying? And so that's that's when I
made the change.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Good change that you did make, and you you always
I would say, like I told people at radio show,
not worked out. I had education to fall back on.
So I was doing a couple of careers at once,
and I still am in a lot of ways. But
looking back at it too, it's it's it's like you
don't want to have the plane B, but it's there
just in case something there. But no, keep keep doing music.
From one gentleman here too, a fantastic lady. Keep doing music.
You're very good at that country music out there too.

(40:05):
We need you to stay in it, all right, What
toppings go on the Kelsey Main pizza when you're out
there with friends or you get one for yourself. What
do you like on a pizza?

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Okay, this is a whole thing because being from Windsor,
if you know, you know, Windsor has some of the best.
Windsor Ontario is like one of the top five pizza
places in the world. Like it's a thing, but not
a lot of people know about it, but it has

(40:36):
literally one contest and documentaries on it and everything. So
the classic Windsor style pizza is shredded pepperoni is key
because then you get equal amounts on every single piece,
So that's a classic thing. And then there's canned mushrooms.
I know it sounds weird, but if it's canned, it

(40:58):
also prevents it from you know, burning and you know,
being too crusty, and they so can mushrooms. And then
you get the little green peppers and that's the Windsor
style pizza. You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
I take a few bites. Yes, I'll have to have
a if you get to if you get to CRS
and I'm there in person for the seventh eight year
in a row. Whatever it is now March coming up
and you're in town, Let's do a pizza challenge on
the air. What do you say, come by the booth
and should I.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Bring you a slice from when? I will?

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, we're going to be live streaming on our regular
shows that we do on site. Bring it by and
we'll do a challenge. If you bring you bring food in,
I'm gonna come get you.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
So yeah, it's an eight hour drive, so I think
I can make that happen. I'll drive it in our delivery.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
If you're in town, I want to do a pizza
challenge on the air there too. Looking looking back at
it too, and I love this music so much, I
really do. It is uh fantastic too. And like I said,
we could go on and on with with everything out there. Oh,
I got to ask you about this obviously. Look, Toronto,
is that the Maple Leafs? What hockey team is is
Nashville Predators? Who do you pay attention to?

Speaker 1 (42:04):
I'm I'm also torn. I'm I'm I'm maybe the worst Canadian.
I'm I'm not the biggest hockey fan, but I do
love I mean, the Preds fans. The press games are
probably the most fun because the fans here are It's
just a sea of gold. It's really cool. But I

(42:24):
was raised as a Wings fan from Detroit, so yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Detroit, and I should have put the Red Wings in
that conversation too, because, like I said, king of the
Stanley cups out there, They've done a lot with some
of the great franchises up there too as well.

Speaker 14 (42:38):
Well.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
I can't wait for this next release coming out. Whenever
this is I wanted to say, you know, happy Thanksgiving

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
