The laughter permitted podcast is brought to you by Ally. Do it right. Hey there. Welcome to laughter permitted.

I'm Julie Fowdy. I'm when it was Owie and to give a heads up to our dope village,

you are in for some laughs this episode.

Dare I say is snort worthy.

That's because our guest is

is NBC Sports Host Rebecca Lowe and I have known Rebecca for many years.

And the one thing you know when you hang with Rebecca is there will be lots of laughs,

NBC's Premier League coverage and she is also served as the daytime host of NBC's Olympic coverage

since 2014. Rebecca got her big break in 2002 when she won a BBC television talent competition

a British invasion. So get comfortable listening. It's Rebecca Lowe. Hey, there dope village.
