Comedy
Being drafted to the NFL, then coming back home to sell real estate, and the importance of following your heart. In this episode, Ryan reminisces about his college football experiences and how important playing several sports was to him in his early years. August talks about how sports served as a prime boredom-killer in his days growing up in Northern Ontario, and also tells the tale of his university water polo days (his team went 0-42, so it’s a short story). Our esteemed guest is former NFL player turned real estate agent Christo Bilukidi. He tells us what it was like to be drafted to the NFL, how it felt to be playing at such a high level surrounded by world-class athletes, and what made him walk away from it all to come back to Ottawa to become a real estate agent. In this episode’s Word Cocktail, August examines the word “mascot” and looks at why sports teams choose certain animals to represent them. Fact or False challenges our guest’s knowledge of some of the quirkiest events in the history of professional football. From bonding over old stories from the gridiron, to giving back to the community that helped you attain success, to pondering the existence of wire-eating rats, this episode of Cavalier Conversations is all about making it to the big time and then finding your way back home.
