Summary

Actress Sarah Chalke joins Sam and they revel in having both been married to Jason Jones—Sam in real life and Sarah on How I Met Your Mother (which people still yell at her in airports for). They have a quintessentially Canadian interview swapping stories of current border angst, going to the US just to go to Trader Joes, playing in a mom’s hockey league and why there isn’t actually enough hockey in Heated Rivalry for real Canadians. They talk about how decision making is not her strong suit even though she’s picked great shows throughout her career and how she’s moving away from pro/con lists. Sarah talks about the no-brainer decision to come back for the Scrubs revival which was her favorite show of her life, and how she learned everything about comedy from Bill Lawrence.
