Vancouver continues to attract demanding film productions and heavy physical labor, pushing actors and workers alike to their physical limits. On The Joe Rogan Experience, NFL legend Terry Bradshaw recalled how co-host Howie Long was run ragged during the production of the action film Firestorm. Bradshaw noted that Long "was filming in Vancouver. He was flying in on Saturday from Vancouver and leaving on a red-eye to Vancouver and filming all week."
Comedian Matt Rife also put in serious time in the city, telling Theo Von on This Past Weekend that he "was in Vancouver for like seven months last year" shooting a series. While the filming schedule was long, the city itself left a strong impression on Von, who chimed in that "Vancouver's awesome" despite the grueling shoot.
But the city's grueling reputation isn't limited to show business. On We Study Billionaires, host Kyle Grieve shared a less glamorous memory of the area, recalling his early twenties when he "worked very briefly as a roofer in both residential and commercial roofing" in a local suburb. Whether dealing with rainy roofing jobs or back-to-back film shoots, the city continues to test the endurance of everyone who goes there to work.
