We asked Antony a few questions:

🔶Q: What’s the funniest thing you misunderstood as a kid?
🔷A: A: I thought the Canadian House Hippo was real. I panicked over the possibilities of other animals being “house-sized” and was afraid I’d step on them in the dark.

🔶Q: What TV show do you love but are ashamed to admit it?
🔷A: Love Island. Just the sheer amount of episodes per week and the drama really does it for me. Plus I think I’d be a lovely Love Island narrator.

🔶Q: What’s something you’re glad you’ll never have to do again?
🔷A: Grade 7 Math? Going through puberty during Grade 7 Math?

🔶Q: Which fast food chain will win the fast food wars?
🔷A: Wendy and her frosty battalion accompanied by the fresh, never frozen beefcakes will reign supreme. Their spicy chicken sandwich is good too.

🔶Q: What’s your favourite Sonar episode that you’ve done?
🔷A: The Confederacy of Dunks episode feat. myself & Adam Christie where Freddie asked us to plan out a perfect winter day with Serge Ibaka. That was hilarious.

🔶Q: What do you have that people can check out now?
🔷A: My digital series Ming’s Dynasty is streaming on CBC GEM, Ficto and FuseTV! I also co-host a Wrestling dream-match podcast with my buddy Martin Bennett called “Book it Vince”.
