BY: I'm a former hockey referee
and baseball umpire. I was
selected to umpire the Little
League World Series in South
Carolina last year. I used to ref in
the OHL. I remember watching
Tie Domi and Eric Lindros be
total beasts back then.
AL: I used to be a popcorn girl
at the movie theatre. There was
a points system—you could get
a jacket for 1,000 points. I had
three points during my tenure.
One was for scraping butter off
the door, one was for cleaning
up barf in a theatre stall and
the other was for cleaning out a
disgusting bathroom. I didn't get
the jacket.
BS: I used to be a standup comic
for a few years in New York. I
wasn't very good, obviously. I
had enough success that it was
fun and I kept getting up there,
but not enough that it was going
to be a lifelong thing.
Q+A
get to market and commercialize a
lot faster. The key is that we have the
same values, but [we] all bring differ-
ent things to the table. We have our
fair share of bun-fights, but at the end
of the day we're all very collaborative
and work really well together."–N.C. n
