On today’s show, we sit down and chat with the ever-funny Ali Koca -- or as many of you may know him, huskymuscles. Originally from Toronto, Canada, Ali married his love of humour and storytelling with the social media platform TikTok, garnering wide-spread popularity and a massive following.

Speakeasy co-founder and this episode’s host, Reuben Blaff, actually went to the same high school as Ali in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and the same post-secondary school in Toronto -- York University. At York, Ali was part of the wrestling team and competed in the heavyweight class for all 4 years of his undergrad.

His TikTok account, huskymuscles, has over 1.4M followers and over 66M likes. You can also find him on Instagram and YouTube under the same memorable username. Be sure to check out his podcast, The Husky Muscles Show, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Spotify.
