It's Stu stone.
Hey,
and cam Gordon.
Hey,
happy,
happy Thursday guys here on pandemic Fridays. How confusing. Gordon. Hey, happy Thursday, guys, here on Pandemic Fridays.
How confusing.
Yeah.
This is awesome, this weather.
I mean, you know.
Is this the, I noticed you guys are wearing like light jackets.
Has it come to that already?
Yes.
Yeah, I think there's, I don't know.
Canadian summer is over.
I think so.
It's basically.
It's basically winter.
Dead of winter.
What is your range of
happiness there?
Is it like a two or three degree
range where you don't need a jacket and you're not
too hot? Listen, if it would just be like
this forever, I would be happy.
I'm okay with this. A little bit warmer
is still okay. Once you
start getting colder than this, it starts to become
a bit of an issue. Yeah, this is not
a bad temp. This is okay. This is not a bad temp.
This is okay.
This is like room temp.
It's tempered.
Cam, are you going to crack open that Octopus
Wants to Fight?
Let me hear it right on the mic, sir.
That's not on the mic, though.
Fingernail.
There we go.
I would have put it right in front of the microphone.
Would Stew Stone do me the honors? No, but... Fingernail. There we go. How was that? I would have put it right in front of the microphone. That was kind of weak.
Would Stu Stone do me the honors?
There's another octopus wants to fight in the front row of that.
Yes.
You want it?
Yeah.
I'm not going to leave here without a six pack this week.
You've been holding out on me for like, you know, this is the 20th episode of Pandemic Fridays.
I haven't had a fucking beer.
Yeah, yeah.
You got like, you know, this like crop.
I'd take a lasagna.
Yeah, like this is not real to the viewers.
Like where's the camera?
Where's the fucking lasagna?
Guys, guys, smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors.
Anyway.
Okay, I'll take care of you.
I'll take care of you.
I want to play right off the bat.
I want to do this.
I'm very excited.
So listen up.
I'm excited too. Stranded up. I'm excited too.
Name that tune, Stu.
That's how you open a can.
Nothing yet?
No.
Oh.
So is this Travolta news?
No, this is Sandy news.
Oh, Auntie Sandy!
Oh, yeah.
Happy birthday, Auntie Sandy.
Very good.
Oh, that's so great.
What a special guy you are.
Auntie Sandy, my aunt, the star of her Instagram live series, she celebrated her 94th birthday.
And she's in one of these long-term care facilities that you read about on the news.
And it's been really crappy because, you know, since Pandemic Friday started, she hasn't been able to leave the property.
And you've got to go and visit six feet, mask, the whole deal.
Well, you shared that story of getting tested so you could visit her.
Right, right, right.
So the whole family was able to gather,
and we went to the place.
The nurses brought her out, and she was so happy,
and we gave her cupcakes, and we did the whole spiel.
So happy birthday to Auntie Sandy,
who even if she's listening, I don't know if she's here.
But can she watch on Periscope?
Maybe just seeing her Stewie.
It's one of those things where it's like from White Man Can't Jump where he's talking about Jimmy,
like you're listening, but are you hearing it?
I don't think she can hear the show.
Maybe she's listening, but Auntie Sandy,
happy birthday, We love you.
Is she on iOS or Android?
She doesn't have a cell phone.
It's a Blackberry. She's got a landline
though. She does have a landline.
I saw the photos on
some other social media platforms.
Wait, there's another one?
Yeah, I was just going to say
the smile on Auntie Sandy's face
could just light up a room.
It was great to see. That's very sweet. Thanks, man.
In a tough year, it's great to see these moments.
I want to know what Travolta news
I was missing out on because Stu was
kind of excited for the Travolta news. No, I thought you were going to tell
me some Travolta news. Oh, that Travolta had passed
away. No, God forbid. His wife
passed away last time. Yeah, that's true. That's sad.
That's terrible. I feel like we had
like 20 seconds of Dana Levinson reacts to the Killjoys.
It's like, what?
Well, you try to find a Sandy song.
Is this on like Saturday Night Fever?
Grease.
Okay.
Oh, Sandy, sure.
Sandy's a grease jam.
Cam talks movies.
Sure.
So that's for Aunt Sandy.
Yes, thank you.
We needed a feel-good story.
Mike, you really are a mensch.
And I know that, no, really, you are.
Thank you.
It's very sweet of you to acknowledge Auntie Sandy.
And she is the best.
Well, really, she's all of our aunt.
Like, at this point, she's the aunt to the FOTM.
I'll tell you a quick story, if you want a quick story.
A quick legendary Auntie Sandy story. Of course I do.
So it was for her
88th birthday.
She loves, like, you know, she goes to the races
and she loves casinos and the
slots. Only Peter Gross.
Yeah, she's...
Her and Peter Gross...
Her and Peter Gross may have dated
back in the day.
I wish. But anyway, so she
for her birthday or whatever, she
scratched a lottery ticket and she won
$10,000. Wow. Okay.
So this was huge. So
she wanted to go to Vegas
and everyone was like, you can't go to
Vegas. And she's like, we're gonna
all go to Vegas. So I
was living in LA. I flew in and
met them. And then the whole all the kids went basically and Auntie Sandy to Vegas. So I was living in LA. I flew in and met them. And then the whole,
all the kids went basically and auntie's handy to Vegas. And, uh, this is a hilarious story.
Okay. We put her to bed at like, you know, it was like 10 30. We had to like, you know,
pull her off the like slot machine, like by her hair. You know, it's like, she was like,
wanted to keep playing, but it was late. So we took her up to her room and tucked her in for the night.
And we went out.
We went to some club and things got wild and whatever, whatever.
It's like 3 in the morning and we're coming out of the club
and we're walking back towards our room
and there's like action at the craps table.
And Auntie Sandy is in the middle of the craps table
with a whole crowd around her. And she's putting on a show. And it Auntie Sandy is in the middle of the craps table with a whole crowd
around her
and she's putting on a show
and it's like
three in the morning.
I said,
what the,
how did you get out of,
how did you,
what like,
she got out of her room
and like found the craps table.
And she's 88 years old.
She's 88 at this point.
And so funny.
That's a lucky number.
Yeah, so,
that's a great one.
So she's a legend.
Shout out to Auntie Sandy.
I was going to say,
I feel like I've seen photos of this trip again on
Facebook.com or somewhere.
The Hangover Part 4. Yes.
I will say any
video content with Auntie Sandy is like fantastic.
Like her just destroyed
like a matzo ball suit. It's a sight
to behold. It's true.
She should be my guest on Toronto Mike. I would love that.
She would be like fascinating.
Like seriously. I can turn the volume up. I would love that. She would be fascinating.
I can turn the volume up. I don't know if she would.
Listen, if there's a way for me to bring Auntie Sandy on here, I will.
It's called Zoom.
You've got to get in there with the laptop.
Yeah, but I'm not allowed in the building.
Oh, I thought you could get in without the test.
Okay.
No, no, only outside visits.
Gotcha, gotcha.
I don't like to have to do this,
but once in a while we get something very wrong
and it's embarrassing when many people like to correct me.
Oh, yeah, you and Cam got something wrong.
Well, we all, you were there.
I wasn't involved.
I'm guilty by association.
You could have spoke up.
Well, you know, sometimes I just like let,
you know, you guys were in quicksand at that point.
So I'll read one.
I can't remember.
I just copied and pasted one of the pieces of feedback.
In case no one has said yet,
Alexander Gudunov was not Hans Gruber.
No, he was not.
Of course not.
Alan Rickman was Hans Gruber.
So I think the only name I remembered,
because I haven't seen the movie in 20 years or something,
the only name I can remember was Hans Gruber.
So I spit it out.
And you guys went along with it.
No, I wasn't. If you listen back to the tape, I'm sort of just
laying out.
I'll be honest. I've never seen...
I've seen like five movies.
But even when it was new, like on VHS, you didn't rent it?
Wait, if you've only seen five movies, how are you
going to... I'm dying to hear
what you're going to play for tonight.
This will be good.
Okay, maybe we should tell people.
I was going to say, like, last time, it's like,
oh, the closing credits of Saturday Night's
May Event, like a beer.
Yeah, that's true. These are not movies.
Your story checks out.
Have you ever seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
Did you watch a lot of TV, though?
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what is it about movies?
Because, I mean, we're all similar vintage,
and VHS rentals on a weekend
was sort of right because we definitely like we've watched lots of movies back and i think it's more
there's definitely a recency bias the last 20 years i not many i don't know i think it's like
i have no attention span and i feel like it just you gotta find that 90 minute movie like
what's uh they're too long i just don't care A lot of them are too long. It's true.
Did you see Parasite?
Yeah, I loved it. I saw that.
That's so good. That's a good flick.
Excellent movie.
The first
non-English speaking
movie to win Best Picture.
I really liked it. It was really good.
I don't like that we got this wrong though.
Alexander Gudanov. His his name is Carl.
Carl, of course.
Carl Gruber.
Because when I think of Carl in Die Hard, I think of Carl Winslow, who plays the cop in Die Hard.
That's right.
Reginald Vell Johnson.
Was this Hades' dweller?
Like, who shamed us?
No, actually, many people and many channels, too.
Like, comments, tweets, emails.
We were greatly shamed.
Now, did they get the malware when they came to your website?
Okay, so can I tell you all?
I did, by the way.
That's fixed.
My computer stopped working after I went.
No malware.
Safety certificate was out of date, so you got a scary warning,
but it was always safe.
It's not like I'm asking you for your credit card number on TorontoMic.com.
But it's all fixed now.
Yet, yet.
Have any of you been
to torontomic.com since the weekend?
I've seen it, yeah.
I mean, what was important to Cam and I,
maybe the only two people, and probably Wiseblot,
the three of us, what was very important was to
preserve the
15,000 entries. There's so
much history and the comments
too. Everything was preserved
and it's easier to find now, to be honest.
So thank you, Mark Carey,
for helping me of that massive project.
Mazel Tov. Mike, I'm trying to think, what
are your signature website
moments where, if your
website went away, there would be a gap in
history? Like, I think the death of Martin Streak
would be one. I feel like
Kevin Frank-ish leaving Breakfast
Television would be another. There's lots like that-ish leaving Breakfast Television would be another.
Or was it Jennifer?
There's lots like that.
A lot like that.
Like a lot of media moves.
And I've broken
quite a few of those stories
as well.
Well, hello.
Hello.
And there's a lot
I wouldn't want to miss.
And a lot of like
CFNY history.
How do you get your scoop?
Like real talk?
Like you have like
a mole on the inside?
Yes.
At this point,
I've been doing this
for eight years.
So people are just like hitting you with tips now at this point. I a mole on the inside? Yes. At this point, I've been doing this for eight years. So people are just hitting you with tips now at this point.
I have fans on the inside who feed me info.
And you keep them anonymous?
Always.
Always.
Stewart.
Okay.
I'm just making sure.
Anti-Sandy slips.
I've never coughed up a source yet, and I've been doing this eight years.
I never would.
I'm proud of you for that, and I stand by you, man.
Who would give me a tip if I started coughing up the name of the- Wow. I would never do that. Please. I never would. I'm proud of you for that and I stand by you, man. Who would give me a tip
if I started coughing up
the name of the...
Wow.
I would never do that.
Please, I have integrity.
Here's a question for you.
I don't think I've ever
asked you this.
So, like, I work at Twitter.
I'm their comms person for Canada.
I'm just curious,
do you ever deal with
my industry equivalents
at some of the other platforms?
Oh, like somebody
like at Twitter
calling to give you
like a scoop on cam? No, not by Twitter I'm saying it.
You mean like Facebook or Instagram, which I guess is the same company.
But no, never.
I never hear from them.
I don't hear a lot from PR people, to be honest.
I do get the odd, hey, would you please put this person on my show?
That's what I'm saying.
You would think that PR people would want to be feeding you with guests.
That is happening.
And usually the guests are just like a little bit famous
and I usually kind of end up usually sticking them on Humble and Fred
for 20 minutes maybe or something like that.
But once in a while, like I know I was offered some,
I was offered Gino Vannelli once by the great Eric Alper.
Of course, yeah.
His roster is stable.
Yeah, and I said, okay, and made that happen. The course, yeah. His roster is stable. Yeah, and I said, okay,
and made that happen. The rest is history.
The rest is history.
Yeah, so, you know, if anybody wants their
famous clients on
Toronto Mike, just hit me up. I will
say this on the Toronto Mike front, is that
I'm really bored of Zoom right
now, and I hope you guys, I hope it didn't
affect last week's show.
Why? What happened last week?
It was fine, I guess, but after two weeks of having
the backyard... What, did people say that it was a bad
episode last week? Well, you went to Hades
Dweller. You know, Hades Dweller
is struggling. I had to move my comments
off of movable type. Oh yeah, you said he's like
at the library and stuff. But he's struggling with
the new commenting system. Wait, did people say last week's
show was bad? No, no, no.
Nobody said it was bad. Nobody said it was bad. I think maybe just Cam thought it was bad. say last week's show was bad? No, no, no. Nobody said it was bad.
Nobody said it was bad.
I think maybe just Cam thought it was bad.
Cam, you thought it was bad? I thought my performance was bad.
Well, you were like taking like work calls.
You were like, you had a lot going on.
You know, it's a busy time of year.
There's a gentleman named Ali Moussa
who I promised I'd shout out because-
Did you think it was a bad episode?
It wasn't a bad episode.
I thought the songs were great.
Can I give you my perspective?
I thought you guys were great.
Better like this, obviously.
Duh, we all agree.
But he couldn't make it or I can't make it.
What are you going to do?
I tried something different with how I recorded it.
So it's your fault.
Maybe, because I had you guys on a third,
sorry, another laptop feeding into the recording laptop,
and I could boost the volume on that.
Sure, sure.
You were a little quiet, Stu.
I got to get a fucking mic.
I got to get...
My mom said she's going to get some mics.
Did she listen?
Even a gaming headset.
I could send her the thing.
She would watch this right now.
Okay, send it.
My dad's watching right now.
A gaming headset.
Charles Gordon?
Yeah.
Oh, he's an FOTM, right?
Yeah, in his own way.
Would he come to another...
Wait, I want him to...
Because his father is watching.
I just want his father to know that last week,
that wasn't Cam's fault.
That was Mike's fault.
Cam was great, as always.
Thank you.
And again, I just did this episode 700 with Nick Kiprios.
Kipper.
Which he was...
Originally, the plan was he was going to be in this backyard.
Sure.
And I was actually excited to have Nick Kiprios in the backyard for $700.
The Kipper.
And then there was a Leaf game at four, and he had to record his show.
Is there a Leaf game on now?
Yeah.
Somebody keep an eye on that score.
It's game three.
So if it was game five, I'd have it on out here.
But it's game three.
So keep an eye on that.
But long story short is Nick basically phoned me up.
He phoned me up and said, man, I can't get there.
Uh-oh.
Because the game's at four
and he had to do his own show
and he said,
can we do this on Zoom?
And I said, yes,
we can do it on Zoom
because I had been promoting
Nick Kiprios' episode 700.
The Kipper.
The Kipper.
Anyway, it was on Zoom.
It wasn't a very good
internet connection on his end.
He was doing it on his phone
and it wasn't a great
internet connection.
He was giving me the old, that's in the
book, but he was very nice.
And an interesting hour,
don't get me wrong, but it wasn't the real
talk that I pride myself
in delivering. Yeah, the smart kind of that, some of that
Ben Mergey slop
that you've been peddling in recent
months. Just kidding.
Is that on you, or is that on him?
Are you the one that's supposed to break him down
or he was impenetrable?
You know what I learned?
I can't break you down via Zoom.
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
I can break you down in person.
I can look in the eye.
You're an in-person guy.
Yeah.
You're bad on Zoom.
I'm not bad.
Steven Page was good.
Steven Page was good.
Sometimes they're good.
I'm also kind of bored of Zoom at this time.
So I think while the weather is decent, I'd like to do as many as possible, if not all of them, out here.
And then when the weather turns and we still obviously are in this pandemic, I'll go back to Zoom because I'll have to.
You know what would be really cool?
If you were to get like a nice road case that you could just pack all this stuff into and then you could do the show anywhere i
do i already do that okay is that something like cdn technologies could uh help i already
tell him to bring the truck over yeah i have to be outdoors though i mean there's nothing in this
box you could just throw everything in there how's that so welcome back ali musa uh speaking
of kiprios uh Ali Moussa.
Did you guys know that Nick Kiprios dated Joan Lunden when he was in New York?
It's in the book.
It's in the book.
It's in the book.
He sends events copies.
Written by, co-written by an FOTM, Perry Lefkoe.
Perry, yeah, definitely.
You know Perry. Now I do know Perry.
I met him at your event.
All right.
Did he give you an Ed Olchek book?
He did.
He gave it to you?
No.
Yes. Maybe. Usually his move is this. He gave it to you? No. Yes.
Maybe.
Usually his move is this.
He gives you the book
to pose with it
and then he takes it back.
On the Torah,
that is what happened.
So he gave it to me.
I posed with the book
and that was my event
and I was the host
and he gives me the book.
We posed together
with me and his book
and then he took back the book.
Yeah.
Well, listen, man.
This is the book.
That's, you know, he's got to sell books. It's in the book. Oh, it's the book yeah well listen man this is uh that's uh he's you know
he's got to sell books it's in the book oh it's the hustle so i know wrestling fan by the way
perry is he yeah okay and he's elliot lefkoe yes he's elliot left yeah elliot lefkoe concert
promoter okay that's elliot's dad or brother it's his brother it's his brother perry lefkoe
is the one who told david cassidy to name his horse Peter the Gross.
Oh, that's good.
Do you know this story?
So David Cassidy used to own horses.
Yes.
He's passed away, by the way.
And at some point, I guess...
How did he pass away?
I don't know.
Drinking and drugging as a young man, I think.
That's not good.
Blew up his heart.
I don't know.
But he, bottom line is, there was a horse called Peter the Gross,
owned by David Cassidy, named after Peter Gross,
but it was named because Lefkoe told Cassidy to do that.
I'm going to play a song.
We once had one of you on Zoom named Mike Gregotsky.
Is that correct?
The Gregor.
Mike Gregor.
I just yesterday dropped FOTM KOTJ Volume 11.
Oh, yeah.
Is that like you're catching up to much music?
Or now this is what I call hits.
They're at like a 65 or something.
I was going to say, I listened to the last track.
I think it was like Jane's Addiction,
been caught stealing.
And it was nice to hear a song by that band
without getting like shamed.
Because we listened to them two weeks ago.
Why would I shame you for playing that?
I love Jane's Addiction.
Yeah, I like them.
And that's a great song.
I didn't shame you.
And you know, by the way,
you know who kicked out that jam?
You so did.
What are you talking about?
You so did.
What do you mean?
I like Jane's Addiction.
It was like summer songs up the beach.
They're on the fucking beach.
I'm sorry.
We haven't even started.
You have selective memory
I have no recollection of me ever shaming you
For a James Addiction song
Why would I shame someone for
You know Mike maybe if he'd listen to your podcast
Once in a while
Stu it does hurt me a little
That you don't speak the Toronto Mike language
I'm learning the language
I'm new to the country
I'm in an ESL class here
And I'm doing well
I'm learning a lot as I go Now I know about the language I'm new to the country I'm in an ESL class here And I'm doing well I'm learning a lot as I go
Now I know about
The fraudulent byway
The road byway
The road byway
It's up the street
It used to be a fucking auto zone
And now it's a byway
Blah blah blah
I got it
Close enough
That song that was
Jane
Been Caught Stealing
Yes
Was kicked out by
Stu Stone super fan
Linda
Of course
Because she knows that I...
Cam, have you listened yet to
FOTM, KOTJ?
I sort of just scanned it, because I saw
some of them talk about Jane's Addiction. I was curious if they
were also listening to the song Up the Beat.
Well, you know who else kicked out a jam?
Cambrio. Oh, wow.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I know, it's the first time I've ever heard his voice.
Wow. And it's a great jam, too.
A great Mrs. Saga jam.
I don't want to spoil anything.
Cambrio.
So where am I going with this?
Okay, so there was a jam kicked out because I just put this together.
Cambrio.
I don't edit it in post or whatever.
I do it all in real time.
I listen to the song in the headphones.
Okay.
Then I bring down the song and play the clip of the person speaking.
Excuse me, I have to burp.
And I do all this in real time
because it's like an experience for me.
And that means last night I was in my basement late at night
listening to this jam.
Yeah, I know this song.
It's Glenn Medeiros.
Oh, right, right.
Right.
Big hit.
His number one was with Bobby Brown,
but this was a big hit.
This has got to be a number one.
Yeah.
I don't think so. I think it's 12. It's like an easy listening. I feel like this was a number one was with Bobby Brown, but this was a big hit. This has got to be a number one. Yeah. I don't think so.
I think it's 12.
It's like an easy listening.
I feel like this was a number one song.
On the Billboard, I think it peaked at 12 because I did my homework, but he did have that duet
with Bobby Brown.
Yeah, yeah.
She Ain't Worth It.
And that went to number one.
I mean, this was all over Lovers and Other Strangers.
I definitely danced like this like straight arm
slow dancing.
Like you look that way.
Now this could have
been mistaken
as a wham song
in an episode
yet to happen.
Except the voice
is completely different.
But some people
may have thought
that was a wham song.
Of Portuguese descent
but born and raised
and still living in Hawaii.
Glenn Medeiros.
Correct.
So all my life, I've hated this song.
Oh.
I know.
I know.
Because I think I thought it was too cool and it was cheesy.
Is it a cover?
No.
It's not a cover.
He wrote that?
Glenn wrote that?
I don't know if he wrote it, but it's an original.
First name basis.
So Glenn Medeiros, it's an original song.
So I'm listening to this in the basement.
And then Mike Grogowski's voice comes in my headphones.
And he talks about how him and his wife, this was their last dance.
You said Mike Grogowski?
Mike Grogowski.
This song was the last dance at his wedding to his wife.
And he's telling this story about how they both love this song.
I swear, no word of a lie.
By the time the song was over,
I fucking loved this song.
That's a great song.
And I've been singing it ever since.
And now hearing it now,
I'm enjoying it.
I smell like a new topic for the,
like songs you hated
until they were on your
Kick Out the Jams camp dance.
Big hook.
How could you hate this?
Big hook.
Like it just didn't have enough damage.
The verses are not as strong.
The chorus is a monster.
It's a hooky song,
but not a number one song.
This song is all hook.
This seems like a good karaoke song.
He became a principal of a school.
He better have been.
He's not going to be a VP.
Not surprised.
Not with this
talent. Mr. Medeiros.
Mr. M.
Principal Medeiros.
George the Animal Steel was a
school principal. That's right.
Is that right? And I think it was in
Billy Madison was based on
George the Animal Steel.
The Masked Grappler or whatever.
Yeah, the rustler. Yeah. Protect myler or whatever oh yeah the rustler yeah
protect my identity
or whatever
okay
so I just
any final thoughts
on the Glenn Medeiros
number 12 hit
you literally just
played that
because it was
stuck in your head
yeah
well this was
yesterday night
when I put together
the episode
and I just wanted
to talk about it
because it was
the most like
extreme like transition
of like decades
of disliking a song.
I can just picture it.
And then I hear it, and I hear his words to it,
and I realize I've been wrong all these years.
It's like, what else have I been wrong about?
A lot, a lot.
We're just getting started, man.
It's an onion, man.
Life is an onion.
It's a three-hour podcast.
And now when I hear this song,
I can think of a very sweet, tender moment
between Mike Grogowski and his bride,
and they're just dancing, and
they're getting emotional.
And he might just be the nicest
FOTM. He's a sweetheart.
At this point in the song, the rest of the
family's now joining him on the dance floor, and now the horror.
Yeah, he's like gently swaying.
Like they look him up on the chair.
Grogowski's Jewish, right? He might be, I don't know.
I don't know either.
Grogowski, he might be. Polish, right? I couldn't tell you. Like know. I don't know either. Grigowski, he might be.
Polish, right?
I couldn't tell you.
Like if you're a ski with an eye.
I'm not one to speculate.
Hey, can I do a quick callback?
I actually had a trivia question I wanted to ask you guys
that it just reminded me when you started talking about Jane's addiction.
Okay, I think this is accurate.
Maybe Hades.
A trivia question where you don't know the answer? No, I'm pretty sure this is accurate. Maybe Hades. A trivia question where you don't know the answer?
No, I'm pretty sure this is accurate.
I'm ready.
Who is, this is like a Toronto Mike trivia question.
Who's the only FOTM guest who played one of the years at the original Lollapalooza tour?
Oh, Real Statics.
Dave Bedini. That's a good guess.
Tom Wilson, Junkhouse.
I don't believe so.
Fuck.
I'll just say the gist of this.
Biff Naked. Also a good guess.
That was a great guess. I would have said Biff Naked.
The gist of this is I just learned this band,
and I'll give you a clue, they played the side stage
in like
93. Rusty.
I wish. No,
but that would have been. Okay, I'm enjoying this game.
I'm a big Rusty guy. The Pursuit of Happiness,
Moberg. No, that's another good guess.
You're just rattling off classic episodes.
A gentleman I spoke to, oh, I want to thank
him real quick. Thank you for reminding me.
Ron Hawkins sent me this t-shirt.
Yeah. It's called
Tommy Douglas Tuesdays.
He goes live on Facebook every Tuesday night.
He's going to say live on Quibi with Kiefer Sutherland.
That's right.
So shout out to Ron Hawkins who says him and his guitar are going to come back here in August of this month.
Oh.
Him and his guitar.
We're going to just shoot the shit.
He's going to just play songs.
Is that why you got the new shed?
Clean up the place or what?
Don't worry. Then I'll go into my train 48. He's actually to just play songs. Is that why you got the new shed? Clean up the place or what? Then I'll go into my train 48.
He's actually in there right now.
Is it lowest of the low?
No.
Can I get one more guess?
One more guess.
This guess you had on, I believe this individual
was within the last two years.
Sass Jordan.
No, another good guess.
Imagine that.
Hold on. Steven Page from Barenaked Ladies. Sass Jordan. No, another good guess. Is that a good guess? Imagine that. Sass. Okay.
Hold on.
Do you want another one?
Steven Page from Barenaked Ladies.
That would be, that's a good answer.
Would not have played Lala.
Why not?
Side stage?
Not enough edge.
Okay, hold on.
Not enough edge. I thought their name was edgy.
Glenn Medeiros did not play the side stage at L.
Oh, I want to get this.
Glenn Medeiros is not a friend of Toronto Mike, though.
No, he's not an FOTF.
Yes.
Well, now that I'm tired of Zooms, he'll never be.
He's got to get his ass in here.
It's going to be a long time.
So you've had about 10 guesses.
Okay, I'm going to get one more guess.
I'm going to make it a good one.
In the last two years, crap.
It was not Acid Test, as far as I know.
But maybe they did.
As far as I know, they did not play a side stage at the original Lola Palooza tour.
Glue League. Did you have
a member of Glue League? Yeah, Bob
Mackiewicz Jr. was in Glue League.
Right, right, right. Yeah.
I actually don't know. I'm excited to find out the answer.
Maybe this was
tricky because this individual has
changed the style of music that they're
in. So it was actually James B.
with the Look People.
Excellent question. I would have never got B. with the Look People. Excellent question.
I would have never got this.
Yeah, like played in, I just saw this randomly online
while I was looking for something else, like 92 or 93.
No, that's a great, you stumped the host on that FOTM question.
That's an excellent question, Cam.
There's also some footage of the Look People
playing Much Music Spring Break in 93,
where I believe also a few fotms also joined that
broadcast which was kim mitchell and sass jordan um but really bizarre like look people playing a
45 minute set live on much music okay so so there you go i'm going to be very creative Thank you for that. Thank you for that. That's like 10 minutes. Like, is that worth it? No. Like, he should be treated.
No.
She ain't worth it.
So, I had to be Sandy one time.
We were in Vegas.
She ain't worth it.
So, I'm going, I have a creative way of introducing the topic this week.
But first, I just want to make sure we thank Sticker U.
I've strategically put some Toronto Mike stickers from Sticker U.
That's good.
On the waterfront trail, on the Martin Goodman trail.
Is that littering or is that?
It's on the back of signs,
like signage on the back.
So they're just admitting
to committing crimes?
Is that against the law?
I think that is against the law.
It's like propaganda.
Take a picture.
If you spot one
on the waterfront trail,
because, you know, cycling,
as you know,
Megan's MF is cycling right now
and Cam is winning
the championship.
Edit that out in post.
There's a lot of Megans out there.
She's too private.
I only know one.
Cycling's having a moment.
Like my bike guy says he's never sold more bikes.
I was actually mentioned to you that.
I mentioned that to you, easy for me to say.
When I was pulling up here, there's a lot of people on bikes.
Yes.
It's a very bikey neighborhood.
Because no one wants to take the TTC during a pandemic.
You live in a bike neighborhood.
On the waterfront trail.
That is correct.
And that's why I'm here.
So if you do see the Toronto Mike sticker from sticker you on a sign,
take a picture and tweet it at me.
I don't have a prize or anything.
Why don't you give out some Palma pasta or something?
Palma pasta.
Thank you so much, Palma pasta.
Austin Keitner, if you text Toronto Mike to 59559.
Austin Keitner is the man to talk to if you're looking
to buy and or sell in the next six months.
Is Garbage Day finished? No, Garbage Day
actually, they did a
three-month deal. They did? It's now into its
fourth month. Wow. Yeah, they've renewed for the three
months. I know, FOTMs came
through. Super trash. In fact, shout out to
Doug Mills who got his
notice that the what
about garbage day and forwarded it to me to say he loves it so much so shout out to doug mills
i mean one of the greats doug mills i was gonna say with palma pasta you've you've also like
hidden squares of palma pasta around the city and if you spot one that's a good idea yeah uh cdn
technologies this is're pretty good.
If you're like an owner or a manager of a smaller business and you have any concerns about the network,
take advantage of the free assessment.
Is that your demo?
Call Barb.
People who are listening right now?
Nope.
I mean, call the medium-sized businesses for outsourcing your IT.
The big guys always have their own in-house IT.
But you've got to call Barb at 905.
Hold on. 905. Should I call her
right now?
I could just call her right now.
Should I call her? What's her name?
905-542-9759.
542-9759.
And Barb, book your free

Yes.
I heard about your number on the Toronto Mike show.
All right.
She hung up.
Do it up.
That's so Barb.
Shout out to Barb. Barb Poluskiewicz.
Pumpkins After Dark, guys.
Poluskiewicz.
Yeah.
I think that's also Polish.
Could be.
I'm not one to speculate.
I think so.
It's like season two of The Wire.
Pumpkins after, yeah, Sabanka.
Pumpkins after dark.
Pumpkins after dark.
I forgot about that.
You got to get a carload together.
Smashing pumpkins after dark.
The promo code is Toronto Mike.
Of course it is.
It's a drive-through event this year, and it's going to sell out.
So get your butt to pumpkinsafterdark.com and do that up.
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.
All right.
GarbageDay.com slash Toronto Mike, by the way.
Didn't we already do that?
Yeah, but we didn't say slash Toronto Mike, which is the most important part.
So here's how we're going to introduce today's topic.
Wait, can I just ask one more question about Garbage Day?
Did you ever play the band Garbage when you introduced GarbageDay.com?
No.
I should.
Two on the nose.
I should have played it the day.
Leaving money on the table.
The day you guys were back here in the rain.
That was a fun time.
I'm only happy when it rains.
Should have been my jam, right?
Or Blame It on the Rain, which is a much better song.
Milli Vanilli.
Yes.
Madonna Rain.
Not as good.
Oh, there's a Rain-O by Chilliwack.
Do you guys know Chilliwack?
I don't know that song, but I know No Rain.
Oh, No Rain by Blind Melon is a big one.
Oh, How I Wish It Would Rain Down on me, Phil Collins.
Can I just say, these are the topics I like.
Hard Rain is going to fall.
Make It Rain, Lil Wayne.
Make It Rain, yeah.
These are the topics I like.
The Rain King by Counting Crows.
And then you could branch out into like Storm songs, like Thunder Rolls.
And you got a whole bunch of like.
After the Rain by Nelson.
Right.
That's a good one.
Remember Nelson?
Yeah.
Lightning Crash.
Oh, yeah.
The twins?
Yeah, they were twins.
Yeah, well, their dad was Ricky Nelson.
Actually, I did a quiz at work.
It was like, which Nelson member are you most likely to be?
I did that one too.
It was on BuzzFeed.
It was great.
No, I put a photo of like the Nelson twins with like no description to like our office at Twitter Canada.
And just like thumbs up, thumbs down.
Do you know who these people are?
Wow.
What was the result?
It was like 10 thumbs down and like two thumbs up.
Wow.
Other thumbs up were like guys.
Well, I don't work there because it would have been three thumbs up.
I saw Stu Stone's doppelganger on a bike ride yesterday.
But here's the thing.
Was he handsome?
Well, it was exactly you, but like 150 pounds heavier.
Oh, wow.
But it was exactly you.
I almost crashed my bike.
Oh, boy.
Trying to picture with him.
Yeah.
I know.
And I saw it at like, it doesn't matter where,
in Mimico on the waterfront, if you're listening out there.
Yeah.
So have you ever seen one of your doppelgangers before?
Uh,
I have.
Who?
I mean,
I've,
no,
I mean,
like I've encountered people that I felt looked like me.
Okay.
Yeah.
And have you Cam?
Um,
you have a unique look.
I feel.
I don't know.
Yeah.
It kind of looks like he should be in like a Monty Python crew.
Yeah.
It's just very,
he's got a very chiseled kind of model type face.
I feel like I said that to you the first time we were on the show together or something.
I'm having weird deja vu.
We've been on this show so many times.
This is like 21 episodes.
21st Pandemic Friday episode.
21st?
Yeah.
That's mildly depressing.
Yeah, it goes by really fast.
It's definitely been a highlight of the pandemic.
Okay, so doppelgangers.
The only.
There was a baseball card of Andy Van Slyke.
Yeah.
I know.
I'm familiar with him.
The Pirates?
Was he with the Pirates?
Yeah.
Sure.
Anyway, he had a baseball card that looked like me.
Okay.
And everybody at Power.
Okay.
So one baseball card looked like me.
I'm not saying he looked like me. Andy Van Slyke looks like you, huh? Gold Glover So one baseball card looked like me. I'm not saying
he looked like me.
Andy Van Slyke
looks like you, huh?
Gold Glover.
One baseball card.
Was it a Don Ross
Diamond King?
This is a deep cut here.
There was a short-lived
television show
called Subway 24.
It was called
Swan's Crossing.
Swan's Crossing.
You look like the guy
from Swan's Crossing?
There was an actor,
a bit actor,
I don't think he did
anything else,
in Swan's Crossing
who looked exactly like him.
Is that you that thought that or someone pointed that out to you?
Multiple people, yeah.
Oh, Swan's Crossing.
So there were multiple people that watched Swan's Crossing?
Yeah, the claim to fame for Swan's Crossing, I believe,
is that prior to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Geller?
Is it Geller?
Come on, man.
Is this a Cam Gordon moment?
Sarah Michelle Gellar? Theeller? Is it Geller? Come on, man. Is this a Cam Gordon moment? Sarah Michelle Gellar?
The Geller Prize?
Come on.
Sarah Michelle Geller.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, yes.
Who was in that show?
Okay, so here.
We talk a lot about the Stu Stone greatest hits.
We do this often.
Are we doing Sarah Michelle's greatest hits now?
Yeah, yeah.
No, but the biggest movie or anything that Stu Stone has been a part of, in my opinion, is the gate.
That part of the movie?
Donnie Darko.
Oh.
Donnie Darko.
I think Donnie Darko is, if I never knew you, let's say I had never been introduced to you.
What in the world that would be?
I would still have the feeling that Donnie Darko is like a cult favorite.
Sure.
It's a great movie I could watch over and over again, and I really legitimately liked it.
But I wonder if everyone listening is familiar of Donnie Darko
and your role in it.
So this is kind of, I'm going to play a trailer, okay?
I'm going to play Donnie.
But I'm not in the trailer.
Okay, I'll play a bit of it here.
I'll play a bit of it.
And if it's boring, the trailer.
As though this plan had been with him all his life,
pondered through the seasons.
Now, his true Barrymore, he'd be crystallized
with the pain of puberty. I was Barrymore. Yeah. Crystallized with the pain
of puberty.
I was your teacher.
Was Lisa Kudrow?
Patrick Swayze's in this.
Yes.
Patrick Swayze, okay.
So, why'd you move here?
My mom had to get a restraining order
Is that you?
Why'd you move here?
No, that's Jake Gyllenhaal.
He has emotional problems.
Oh, I have those too.
What kind of emotional problems
does your dad have?
I'm a new
friend that I think you have imaginary oh no sorry that was if you hear
yourself tell me I'm gonna tell you a little story today about a young man
that's way life was completely destroyed by these instruments of fear I haven't
seen stuff Donnie is experiencing what is commonly called a daylight hallucination
I have to obey him
he saved my life
have you ever seen a portal
oh
okay I'll bring her down
but like okay
so let's say you watch
Donnie Darko
yeah you should
if you haven't seen it
it's a good movie
it's a great movie
yeah
it's a great movie
with or without Stu Stone
that's a great movie
but you make it better
it's like an iconic movie of that era I would say that like it really is and it's a great movie. Yeah. I love it. It's a great movie. With or without Stu Stone, that's a great movie. It really is like an iconic movie of that era.
I would say that.
Like it really is.
And it's a really crazy story because when it first came out, it was like nothing.
It like made like $150,000 at the box office or something.
It was like a disaster.
It's like Austin Powers.
Everybody went to that.
Well, it came out right after 9-11.
Right.
And it was about a plane falling through a building.
So it kind of got like sort of swept away and
then DVD
it blew the F word
up and then it came back out in
theaters for a second. Well it blew the fuck up.
Then it came back out in theaters
again with the director's cut
and it went on. It was like we
got to do it again.
It's a legendary movie.
If I never was in another movie again,
I could just stop right there.
Can you do comic conventions
because you were in Donnie Darko?
Listen, if you want to book it, let's go.
I'm down to do it.
Darko Palooza.
Like I swear,
there must be probably fan conventions.
I feel that's how beloved this film is.
I mean, I'm ready to go.
F-O-D-D.
If there's anybody listening
that wants to make some money,
let's dance.
Okay.
So, let's say you watched
Donnie Darko in the theater.
Sure.
And there's a great scene
with this song.
Right.
Have you seen the movie?
I've seen it, yeah.
Have you seen it, Cam?
Yes.
This is like one of the five movies
he's seen.
And The Boys Club is the other,
so two is five.
Heavenly Bodies is the third?
Oh, my God.
Great song.
And let's say in this hypothetical... Can I just say one quick thing?
Quick side note.
I saw Tears for Fears open up for Hall & Oates
at the Air Canada Center or whatever.
They are awesome live.
Tears for Fears, that was a great show.
It's very easy to forget how massive this band was.
Yeah.
Well, there was about a three year stretch.
Almost as big as every song from the big chair might be the biggest album that year.
Yeah, could be.
I'll let you know.
Actually, when Sammy Cohn of the Watchmen, close personal friend of mine, had our own podcast, we had, which both of you have been on.
We actually had Eric Alper on and and he brought songs from The Big Chair on.
He did a, I was going to say a tight 40 minutes,
but I'd say a long 40 minutes on this album
and just how formative this was for Eric Alper,
the great Eric Alper.
I had him kick out the jams.
I wonder if he kicked out a Tears for Fears jam.
I feel like he did.
He would have had to if that was his favorite album
to bring to the cam show.
Good point, Stuart.
I like consistency. Big TFS guy. Right. So what am I talking about here? Don the cam show. Good point, Stuart. I like consistency.
Big TFS guy.
Right.
So what am I talking about here?
Donnie Darko.
So hear me out.
You go to the theater, you see Donnie Darko.
There's a scene with this song on it.
This is not a song written for Donnie Darko.
This is a 1980s.
This is from Songs from the Big Chair, right?
Sorry, is this one of your picks or is this still the other?
No, this is my...
I wanted to incorporate some Stew Stone Donnie
Darko into my
description.
That's very sweet.
If you discovered this
song in Donnie Darko,
if Donnie Darko
introduced you to this
song and you started
to dig this song
because you learned
about it on Donnie
Darko, that would
qualify for tonight.
This is the sequel to
last week's episode.
Last week we did.
The sequel will be
better than the
original.
This will be the
Godfather 2. Yeah. Right. This will be The Godfather 2.
I think Godfather 1
and 2 are neck and neck.
This is my opinion. I think Terminator 2.
Young Guns 2. This is the Young
Guns 2. I also prefer Toy Story 2.
Okay. Fair.
Look Who's Talking 2.
That's also.
X-Men 2 is better than X-Men.
Empire Strikes Back. I think we're done now. That's also. And X-Men 2 was better than X-Men. Empire Strikes Back.
Yes.
And I think we're done now.
Yes.
That's all the movies.
That's right.
So,
last week it was
songs you liked
you knew existed
in the universe
then you heard it
in a movie or a TV show
or on an ad for Cam
and then you liked it
more after that.
This week,
these are songs
you don't think
you knew existed
until you heard them
in the TV show
or movie or ad and then you started to love it. Or as it was interpreted by me, old are songs you don't think you knew existed until you heard them in the TV show or movie or ad
and then you started to love it. Or as it was interpreted
by me, old songs that you discovered
in a movie. Yeah, but you discover.
That's the key word. I was thinking more
like old songs. Well, old
you know, last week when you and Cam
Gordon kicked out. I feel like
that was the inspiration, Billy Vera
and the Beaters. What?
That's only a song that was five years old or something at the time.
Do you know that song about popular on a soap opera?
The first time around.
I know it because it's on the Wikipedia entry.
Yeah, I read it in Wikipedia.
You know, actually, you mentioned earlier,
people who look like other people.
Billy Vera looks like...
Toronto Mike?
No, Doug Marsh of the band Built to Spill.
That's a deep cut.
I thought you said Brad Marsh,
a great defenseman for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Marshy.
And he scored a goal for Ottawa in the All-Star game.
I actually have a really great Brad Marsh story.
Did he really?
Yeah, and he's one of the last guys without a helmet,
I remember.
Go ahead.
That's right.
No, I can't.
It's in the book.
Hey-oh.
Shout out to Kipper.
Episode 700. Don't miss it.
I think there's Marshy's Bar and Grill in Ottawa.
Is that true?
And it's actually owned by him?
The Senators were so bad.
We should go on a road trip to Marshy's.
Well, there's like Wendell Clark's Bar and Grill.
No, no, no. It's one at a time.
There's one at 407.
Clark?
There's a Wendell Clarks at 407.
Because I was invited.
I had a secret meeting at the Barilco Sphere where I had
Down Goes Brown and Balog Salmin.
And we met with Jonathan Sinden, who was in charge of MLSE
social media and stuff.
I know Jonathan Sinden.
Yes.
All four of us all met at Wendell Clarks at 407.
It's near like Weggs, right?
Well, it's near that.
It's the stadium sports bar.
Weggs?
I don't know.
There's a whole bunch of stuff there.
Reptilia is up there.
Oh, I know Reptilia.
Have you been to Reptilia?
What's that place that's like a casino for kids?
Dave and Busty's.
Yes, there's a Dave and Busty's.
Dave and Busty's?
Okay, we got to get going here.
I just checked the clock.
I mean, what the fuck?
It doesn't matter. You guys could be here all night. I mean, what the fuck? It doesn't matter.
You guys could be here all night.
All right.
Are you cold?
I brought another shirt.
We're going to kick out songs that we discovered.
Do you have a Snuggie?
Do you want me to get you something?
Are you okay?
Okay.
You know, you see the yellow cable that's running to your mic?
I do, yeah.
Just give it a bit of, like, it's a little bit tight there.
So pull it from the other sides.
You get a little more.
A little slack.
Yeah, a little slack. I just don't want to. Reggie Slack. Thank you. Reggie, yeah. I remember Reggie. He's a little bit tight there, so pull it from the other sides. You get a little more... A little slack? Yeah, a little slack.
I just don't want to...
Oh, Reggie Slack.
Thank you.
Yeah, I remember Reggie.
He's a Toronto Raptor, and he played physical under the boards.
I think he was an Argonaut.
He was the quarterback.
No, that was Reggie...
Well, there's Reggie Slater who was on the Raptors.
Oh, fuck.
You're right.
Reggie Slack?
You're right.
I don't want to get corrected again.
Oh, you know what?
Reggie Slack.
Perry Lefkoe is writing his book.
Wouldn't surprise me.
Shout out to Perry, by the way.
It's out this fall, I've heard.
Okay.
We're going to kick out jams discovered in movies or film.
This is Cam Gordon's first jam.
This is good.
I'm digging the energy, guys.
Thank you.
It's about to come down.
Here's Cam's first entry.
Why is Cam diving into work all of a sudden?
I don't know.
Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Why is Cam diving into work all of a sudden? I don't know. Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah.
This is yours?
Yeah.
This is like a newer song than I would have knew we were allowed to pick.
You know, Stu, you invented that whole old song.
Like, you can...
I love this.
Yeah.
I'm jealous because I picked all these old songs.
That's your problem.
Well, this is like a pretty fucking old song.
I think it sounded like it was not that new.
Yeah.
I was a little torn on this choice because I know we've talked about maybe doing top 40 instrumental hits.
And this would be a great choice for that.
But anyway, this is the Art of Noise with the song Moments of Love.
In love.
Moments in love.
I'm so like taken.
I can't even.
Wait, why do I feel like The Art of Noise is a spinoff of the Moody Blues?
I don't know why you feel that way.
Is that crazy?
That's not accurate.
That's not accurate?
So if you grew up like we all did in the Toronto area or arguably somewhere in Canada,
perhaps you first discovered this song, as I did, as the theme song for Mush Music featuring FOTM Ziggy.
Ziggy Lawrence.
Who's been over...
Two-time FOTM. She kicked out the team.
I feel like there's a photo of her kissing you on the cheek.
Yeah, because she flirted with me in Runnymede Station back in the late 80s.
That's right. I feel like i've shared this before she uh she went served me a flying cup of coffee when i was working i i was doing something in my pr career with uh 96.3
before they moved yeah she worked for the zoomer zoomer yes she would be yeah she was in the mix
there um so this is this is a great song and art obviously like art of noise is one of those
bands that's almost more like an art project.
If you guys remember, they did a cover of Kiss with Tom Jones.
Yeah, absolutely.
They did Close to the Edit, all these sort of mashup songs that were very experimental,
very hard to categorize band.
So this song's actually from 1983 originally.
This is interesting.
It was both on their debut album, Into Battle with The Art of Noise,
and on their second album, Who's Afraid of The Art of Noise.
Those came out in 1983 and 1984, respectively.
In addition to Mush Music, where I don't know about you guys,
that's where I discovered it.
It was also in the sequel to Pumping. Speaking of sequels, Pumping Iron.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I have a vision of this.
Pumping Iron 2,
the women.
Is he in that?
Is Arnold in there?
It's apparently all women.
Wow.
Speaking of sequels
that are better than the originals.
Yeah.
So this song is also
a couple other fun facts about it.
This song's been sampled
a lot of times.
There's actually a very good song
also called
Moments in Love.
I'm totally gonna wreck
this person's name uh which is sad because we also share a first name uh charlie xcx
i have to ask my daughter michelle yeah she's probably a big fan uh oh i fucked up earlier
by the way i said moody blues i meant yes members of yes make up the group the art of noise you know
you i feel like there's
something there
like there's some
I'm looking it up right now
is it okay
because that's my
famous guffaw
when I thought
Wakeman and Howl
Trevor Horn
oh the ELP
The Art of Noise
and Trevor Horn
is from YES
okay
so it's definitely
like an on again
off again
I'm sure this band
is still around
in some form
and well
one more fact about this song and I
love this song I don't know about you guys like this
is it's haunting like it's
haunting yeah yeah
like in that sort of like 80s like very like
minimal uh well I'm like you
I did not know this song before I
heard it on mush music and uh it's
got a nice ambiance to it almost it's almost like
it could you could mix
it up with like the x-files theme or something there's totally yeah or like the twin peaks theme
or something yeah this is one of those songs when i it got on my radar for this episode it was like
a no-brainer um to have on here um one final fact about moments of love this was actually also the
lead-off track there was actually a mush Mush Music CD that came out in 1990.
With Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel.
That was on it, yes, as well as Elton John's Sacrifice.
Other artists featured included Luther Vandross,
Richard Marks, both discussed on past Pandemic Friday episodes.
Was Glimp of Heroes on there?
No, but you know, it was 2.
Remember, 2 was on there,
as well as a song that i had not thought
about in about 30 years um i don't even remember this is a song called take it talk it over by
grayson hugh there's kind of a blue-eyed soul song he sort of looked almost like a little bit
nick i'd love to hear him he's coming out of a suitcase. Does Cam ever sing? He does. Talk it over in bed.
Oh no.
And there's like backing vocals that goes
words are broken.
No?
Keep going.
What's next up, Mike?
I actually like your singing. I like it.
I think it's great.
Anyway, that's Talk It Over, but what we heard was Moments in Love.
Good choice.
I like this.
And again,
I like it when you make a choice that qualifies.
It feels like it's been in a bigger thing
than Much Music opening.
I feel like I've seen it in some movie.
Well, you got the laptop.
I'm not hooked up to internet here.
You're not?
No.
I don't want to be
because I don't want to be accused
of doing something on the fly here.
If you see me holding my phone,
that's a different story.
What do you mean?
When you're on Zoom,
I have no idea
what you're doing on your computer.
I do homework.
I'm doing homework.
I'm going to do a bit of research.
He's editing his future projects.
Do you have any updates
on your upcoming projects?
Like names or anything?
Not yet,
but I do have...
Scarecrows 2 have I have a trailer
that I'll show you offline.
I'll send it to you.
And I can't share it. Not yet. That's no fun.
I want to share things. Well, then I won't send it to you.
I want to see it.
I'm just going to shout out, Twitter published our list of most
mentioned video games of the year.
I just tweeted out if any of your listeners want to see it.
I like Mario Kart
for the Wii.
Donkey Kong? Mario Kart for the Wii.
Mario Kart for the Wii.
This was played at one of Madonna's weddings.
Oh, that's how I know it.
Stu, you spoke in front of the armed forces in Afghanistan.
More than spoke. Is it Iraq?
Where were you? I was all over the place.
It was me and Jamie Kenny and Paul Wall,
who's a rapper. Joan London?
Joan London was not there, but that is in the book.
It was Cambrio.
We went to Iraq.
Is that true?
Yeah, we went to-
I have a photo.
I tweeted it out, and I said Cambrio in front of the troops.
Oh, shit.
Is this still on your Wikipedia page?
I think I know the photo.
Yeah, I got the photo from somewhere.
I Googled him or something.
We went on a USO tour, Wow. And we went to Iraq.
We went to Baghdad, Fallujah, Qatar, Kuwait.
Wow.
And we performed like a hip-hop comedy show.
And now you're in my fucking backyard.
And now I'm here.
And I think the conditions here are a lot worse.
No, I'm just kidding.
But it was really crazy.
Do you really not have my Wi-Fi password?
I don't.
I don't have your Wi-Fi password.
Do you want to give it on over the air?
No, but when I'm playing the next song, I can mute us.
I don't need to get it yet because I'll just get it after.
I thought I gave it to you last time you were here.
No, I'm not on your Wi-Fi.
Because you're welcome to go on my Wi-Fi.
I appreciate that.
You're a real mensch.
Oh, I can't wait to play this jam from Stu Stone.
I just want to hear if Cam knows any movies that this song has been in.
I bet you even Cam knows the big movie that would feature this song.
We've got six minutes to talk until we get to the part.
In this link you sent me,
does it have the piano code? Of course.
That's the part of the song.
The best. Well, that's what we're here for.
Alright, talk now, so I'll turn that part off.
I want to have a moment. Go ahead.
A lot of people think, you know this song,
you know the song, right?
Layla. And the artist?
By Derek and the Dominoes. See, now, I would have
got that wrong. I would have said Eric Clapton.
Or Cream, I would have said. I would have got it wrong.
I would not have even said Derek and the Dominoes.
That is correct. You're not Scarlett Cameron. No.
Derek and the Dominoes, Layla. Lots of
stuff here, guys. This is from a lot
of movies. But
famously, the ending of the song, which
I heard for the first time watching
a film called Goodfellas, which is a 1990 crime film directed by the one and only Martin
Scorsese, one of the great directors of our time.
It was no Dances with Wolves.
Well.
No, that Mary McDonald either way Goodfellas
one of the greatest films
of that era
and probably the film
that reignited
the mobster
movie franchise
after
you know everybody
tried to copy
the Godfather
and everybody
fell flat on their face
and the genre
kind of died
for a little bit
and Goodfellas
came out
and we had a nice run
of incredible films
that followed
but it told the story of Henry Hill played by, do you know who played, who was the leader?
That was Ray Liotta.
The great Ray Liotta.
Who was also in Field of Dreams.
Yeah, Shoeless Joe Jackson.
Now, my nephew, who was a big fan of B-Movie when he was a little kid, he loved, Ray Liotta
was his favorite actor.
Ray Liotta from B-Movie.
That's the Jerry Seinfeld.
Of course, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Paul Cervino, and many others. You know who I always thought looked like Ray Liotta from B-Movie. That's the Jerry Seinfeld. Of course, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Paul Cervino, and many others.
You know who I always thought looked like Ray Liotta?
Who?
Our mutual friend.
Michael Madsen?
No, Jason Morrow.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
I like him.
Is it the eyes?
I think it's the eyes.
I haven't met Jason, but I know my mom had a big crush on Ray Liotta
because he was on some soap opera that she used to watch,
Another World, I think.
I could see that.
Do you guys remember the soap opera Another World?
Of course. Yeah, I've heard of it. One Another World, I think. You could see that. Do you guys remember the soap opera Another World? Of course.
Yeah, I've heard of it.
One, two, three, four, five, six Oscars.
For Goodfellas.
For Goodfellas, but not...
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I got that way wrong.
Those are nominations.
Oh.
The only one who won was Best Supporting Actor Joe Pesci.
And you know what?
Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro are the one to punch
when it comes to those movies.
Like literally,
because there's a lot of punching.
Here's what we need to talk about here.
Layla is written,
allegedly,
from my understanding,
is written about a crush
that Eric Clapton had
on his good pal George Harrison's wife.
And the result of the song came out,
and guess what?
She ends up leaving George Harrison,
and she ends up marrying Eric Clapton.
This is Patty Boy?
I'm ignorant to the story I just unearthed it,
so to me it's shocking news,
but Eric Clapton basically stole George Harrison's wife.
I feel like this is part of rock folklore.
I need to interject before the piano quota kicks in
that Mike Stafford kicks out the jams,
and he kicks out this jam,
and he gives a great story about who really wrote the piano coda.
This is it right here.
All right.
This is Goodfellas.
I fucking love this, Stew Stone.
Someone should sample this like a rap song so at this point in the movie uh you know the kid's discovering all the bodies and he's about
to make the blah blah oh yes okay i was trying to remember when in the movie this is it's also
like oh another i mean real quick on Goodfellas.
Gimme Shelter is great in fucking Goodfellas, too.
Rolling Stones.
I shockingly don't have any Stones on my list,
but not shockingly, because I was already a Stones fan.
I knew Rolling Stones music.
I grew up on it, so it didn't count.
I have a story about this, but I'll save it for after this.
So, yeah, I guess keep your girl away from Eric Clapton.
Still.
So what's your story on the piano part here?
What do you know about it?
Oh, the piano part has been controversially credited to Rita Coolridge, Gordon's girlfriend at the time.
So Mike Stafford tells a story that Jim Gordon gets credit for this, but it's really Rita Coolidge?
Yes.
This is the Mike Stafford story.
Sorry, this is Rita Coolidge playing piano.
Yes.
No, we're not playing piano, but...
Inspiration.
The true author of this song, according to Mike Stafford.
Just the end part.
Just this coda.
This piano part at the end.
We call it a coda.
Okay, gotcha.
My friends.
Yeah, Rita Coolidge is apparently
did not get
the credit
she deserves
for writing
this piano
coda
which is
gorgeous
and it's
perfect in
that movie
Goodfellas
and I love
Goodfellas
so much
I actually
never heard
this part
of the song
until I heard
it in Goodfellas
because they always
cut it
you're right
on Q107
or whatever
they cut the
fucking this off
unless it's like
psychedelic Sundays
with the
OTM Andy Cross and I haven't been this right i haven't been this angry since they started
playing the english version of 99 and now it's coming back the other way like boom will play
the german version but shout out to jeff spindell yeah yeah you should i feel like we've talked
about like we're just repeating ourselves get Jeff Spindel on
I need to have like my
school of rock
whiteboard
how to connect all the
just go to the Thornley
Wikipedia page
pick them off one by one
although then you'll get
like Gomeshi
and the
the van attack killer
so I want to give
kudos
on this coda
to Stewstone
because it is a
love it
did I win the show?
Did I just win the episode?
Because it's very subjective
and like, did you discover it in the movie?
I did.
Because I think I knew this before the movie,
but I've got a good chunk of years on you.
So, Stu, you're just saying the coda
is what you never heard of.
Correct.
Okay, interesting.
And I'm going to allow that.
I don't know about you, Cam.
I'm in a generous mood tonight.
I love this song so much.
Any excuse to listen to it is fine with me.
Of course, the unplugged version connected with 90s pop culture,
and he had a headache on his hands with his MTV unplugged.
No coda in that one.
No.
That was kind of a piece of it.
And he completely rearranged it.
It's hardly recognizable.
Yeah.
And that's around the time his son fell from that window and died.
Tears in Heaven.
Tears in Heaven.
That's the one.
Right.
Right.
Very sad.
The opening lick of this song was also in one of the iconic Q107 commercials.
I feel like it was the first song.
Oh, along with Smoke on the Water or something.
Yes.
Time Life Rock?
Oh, no doubt, no doubt.
Do everything.
Hi, I'm Peter Fudd.
Yeah.
Hey, when I was giving you guys this topic,
I think I used that as the example.
I said if you were watching Wonder Years
and you heard the birds sing turn, turn, turn.
Oh, see, for me it would be Joe Cocker.
Do you remember this?
Yes.
Right.
And then if that's how
you discovered it
that would be a good example
for the show.
Okay.
I'm rearranging the deck here
because we talked stones.
Here we go.
How are we even going to do
the rest of the show?
I mean, holy shit.
Now I want to try to figure out
what movie you heard this in.
Yeah.
That's interesting
because this is a classic
so good to turn black. I see the girls up high dressed in their
summer clothes.
It was like a war movie of some kind.
Right? Or was it Interview with the Vampire?
No.
Patience, human creature.
I see a line of cars
and they're all painted black.
Okay, so you gotta go back
to like, I don't know, when I was 11 years old
or something. And I caught a show on television called Tour of Duty.
Tour of Duty was in Vietnam.
I remember that show.
They actually showed it on CHCH as reruns after wrestling.
So was this like a drama or a mash?
Yeah, kind of. Yeah. And in recent years, I got confused between China Beach and Tour of Duty.
Tour of Duty.
But same vintage?
Yeah.
Like for some reason, I got them all mixed up.
That was very young.
But here's the deal.
This was the theme song.
And I had never heard this fucking thing.
I do remember that show.
And it's like, what's this song?
I remember distinctly like, what the fuck is that song?
Fast forward a little bit here.
I discover in my father's
album collection
Hot Rocks. That's the best record
there is. Double album.
Can't go wrong. It's like the greatest hits.
It's like 66 to 71.
Right, yeah, yeah. It is the greatest hits.
It's great. It's got a cover of
Heard It Through the Gravevine. What got a cover of heard it through the grapevine
what's the cover of
oh
Midnight Ramblers
live
anyways it's great
the whole thing's great
all the songs you can
think of from that era
it was like a
Columbia House
must have
yeah
it's like the
Hot Rocks
automatic
yeah
so I discover
on Hot Rocks
not only that
there's a lot of
great songs by this
band called
Rolling Stones
and I probably
only knew a couple
like Satisfaction
and for some reason I knew Let's Spend the Night Together.
For some reason I knew that.
Because that was from the Playboy channel.
Let's Spend Some Time Together when he was on Ed Sullivan, remember?
He changed it, and The Doors, that's the famous story,
is they told Mick Jagger to change the lyrics for Ed Sullivan.
Far too provocative.
And he did.
The people that compare Stones and Beatles,
it's not a fair comparison.
They're completely different animals, in my opinion.
I mean, they just happen to be.
Keep going because you're right.
You were either, although in Pulp Fiction it was either an Elvis guy or a Beatles guy,
but I think it's more of either.
As I got older, I'm finding myself digging in and really enjoying the Beatles stuff.
And I obviously liked the Beatles as a kid too, obviously.
But I feel like I actually leaned more on the Stones growing up
because it was edgier
and Mick Jagger was such a front
man that was just like
it was more of a show.
The Beatles kind of stand there and play their songs
and he's like running around and Keith Richards
is jumping around. A lot more sex.
But
you know, I think obviously
both bands are incredible.
Oh, yeah.
You know.
But only one had a new song in 2020.
Right.
But the, who is it?
I have Paul Romanuk.
You guys know Paul Romanuk.
Sure, yeah.
Romy.
Coming back next week.
Good broadcaster.
Coming back next week.
And we're going to talk.
I'm going to ask him the obvious questions.
Like, what happened with Sportsnet?
Why'd they fire your ass and all these things.
But then of course we're going to talk about his new podcast,
which is all about the Beatles.
So is he live in the UK now?
No,
he lives in the beaches.
Oh,
okay.
Which is like our UK.
Well,
what's his address?
Did,
did he live in the UK for a while?
He did.
He did.
His wife got a big job at,
I don't know, Coke or Pepsi or something, some big marketing job.
And he was there.
But he's been back.
He came back here and got that, you know, Hocken and Canada gig that he always wanted.
And he had it for years.
So this is strictly a music podcast with Paul Roman.
I think he has.
His first episode was like Jim Cuddy.
Oh, wow.
Talking track by.
Yeah.
Day and night.
Right. talking track by day and night right anyway
it's Jim Cuddy
talking track by track
about his favorite
Beatles album
it's good listening
which is Revolver
I think
which is a great
is that Revolver
was Cuddy's fave
yeah I think so
okay
I think so
so how do I wrap this
up
like a white album guy
but whatever
couple of quick wrap ups
because we'll be here forever
is one quick wrap up
is that
Across the Street is Laura Dyken's dad,
and I will never forget
when Laura Dyken kicked out
Let's Spend the Night Together
by the Rolling Stones
and described it as an obscure song
probably nobody knows,
but she was not doing a joke.
Oh, wow.
Because that would be a funny joke,
except she was being serious.
So it was a shoot, not a work.
Shame.
Right.
So yeah, that's a song I discovered
and I love still to this day
because of Tour of Duty.
So thank you.
Tour of Duty.
Tour of Duty.
If you can find that.
Oh no,
I was thinking the video game
Call of Duty.
Definitely a video game.
Yeah.
Oh,
hey,
look at this one.
Love it.
Love it.
Love this guy.
Yeah.
This is one of my faves.
Speaking of Terminator 2.
He's not from Terminator 2.
I feel like there might be a tie to Stu Stone and how I discovered this.
But let's let Billy do his thing and then we'll come back.
Let Billy do his thing.
But he was supposed to play the Patrick role in Terminator 2.
Yeah, that's true, actually.
Probably like sneered too much.
I think he had a motorcycle accident.
He did.
That's right.
He did.
Finally, Stu.
Yes.
Let's hear a bit of Billy.
Fucking rocks.
We're listening to some Billy Idol in the dark here.
If you're watching us live on Periscope,
this is Charlie Mike.
I'm going to see how we look in the dark here.
Cam Gordon kicking out some Billy Idol.
Oh, yeah.
It's dark.
I got to say, I'm a big fan of Stu's fake radio guy voice.
It always puts a smile on my face when I hear it.
KBLL Super Sounds of the 70s.
We'll get there, I'm sure.
It's a good time.
Spinell better watch this.
Eyes without a face.
Traffic on the 10th
Cam tell us
it's fantastic
Speaking of great albums
like Hot Rocks
Vital Idol was a must have
Vital Idol
and this was on Vital Idol
Even Sesame Street
covered Billy Idol
when they had Rebel L
do you remember that?
Yes
Rebel L
No because I had
the Saturday Night Fever
by Sesame Street
that was my favorite
Muppet Fever?
Yeah.
Well, that's actually not a bad segue into how I discovered this song.
Oh, on Sesame Street?
I'm going to get to it.
Just fucking chill out.
So again, this is Billy Idol, Eyes Without a Face from the album Rebel Yell.
The second single, the first single was Rebel Yell.
Rebel Yell.
Not surprising.
A top ten hit both in Canada and the U.S.
I'm pretty sure the first time I ever saw this song,
and quite possibly the first time my sister ever saw this song,
was on a TV show, a cartoon called Kid Video.
Ah, Kid Video, yeah.
Do you guys remember Kid Video?
Is it two Ds in kid?
Correct. Because that I remember. Okay, so the plot Do you guys remember kid video? Is it two D's in kid? Correct.
Because that I remember. Okay, so the plot of the show
in the show, this is from
Wikipedia, four kids are taken into
a strange dimension called
the flip side.
And this is the part I remember.
Became cartoon characters forced to fight
Master Blaster. Master Blaster.
And his gang of copycats.
Were you A, do you know this?
B, were you on it?
No and no.
No and no.
No.
Okay.
So this was a U.S. show.
It was on NBC for one season.
I have vivid memories of something that almost looked like a snork.
A snork is on the show?
Do you remember snorks?
Of course.
They're like Smurfs, but underwater.
Yeah.
Like had sort of like a tubular.
Underwater Smurfs.
Yes.
Like a snout.
Yes.
Like Q-Bert.
Yeah, exactly.
A little like Q-Bert, but more like a Smurf with a Q-Bert head.
So in my mind, I have a memory of something that looked like a Snork singing Eyes Without a Face on the show Kidvid.
And the gimmick with the show Kidvid is they'd have like musical interludes.
Oh, it's like Alvin and the Chipmunks?
Yes.
Keep going.
Just touch your nose when I can break into my Andy Frost for you guys.
KidVid?
That's how you know it's a song?
You first heard this song on this random cartoon?
It was like 1983.
It was like six.
No, it's...
And did you find the clip?
Is it real?
No, like...
Oh my God, I just put my lips on.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry. You're the last guy to use that mic. You're real? No. Oh, my God. I just put my lips on it. Are you okay? It's okay.
You're the last guy to use that mic.
You're the last guy.
Wait, Kim.
I'm asking a question here.
Okay.
Were you able to back up your memory of this snork singing this song by looking it up on YouTube or something?
The clip does not exist.
So how do you know then if this is a song that you first
saw on a show if you're not even sure you saw it on the show?
I did find evidence that this song was
featured on the show. Oh, you did? Okay. Yes.
I have not seen the clip. He corroborated his memories.
He can't trust a memory.
I could not remember what this show was
just to find the name. The show was like
25 minutes. Wow. Okay.
That's why I found the fucking James B
trivia question.
Can I please have a moment
to do my Andy Frost?
Go right ahead. I'm going to sanitize my...
Please do. Goal scored by
number 83, Cody Cece.
Assist by number 24,
Kasperi Kapanen.
And number 15, Alexander
Kirpich. Oh, is that like a live update?
1-0 Leafs!
Yes, sweet.
Yes, guy.
That's like the fourth line there.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't have the video of this goal.
There's got to be a garbage goal there.
I don't know, but we're at the end of first.
So we're in the first intermission. And we're at the end of the first round here on Toronto Mike Pandemic Friday.
I'll be providing updates throughout this live stream.
Brought to you by Palma Pasta.
Get your fucking pasta.
Let's get Jim Ralph in for 20 minutes.
Jim Ralph listens to the program.
Of course he does.
They say don't trust people with first name, last name that are both first names.
But then we got Cam Gordon.
So I trust him with my life.
Right.
I just touched this mic too.
Give me a sanitizer.
Okay.
Oh my God.
It's from the Rope Highway.
Out of curiosity, how long? Because, you a sanitizer. Okay. Oh my God. It's from the Rope Highway. Just squirt it in my hair.
Out of curiosity, how long, because you know, Kipper.
Oh, Jesus.
You know, the last person on, never mind.
I've been Lysol, and I got behind me the Lysol.
You guys are completely safe.
I wouldn't put you in danger here.
Okay, thank you.
So great selection.
I love, I've told you this before, I loved Billy Idol.
Yeah.
You know, he's come with two songs that were from, this is really
so Kim, two songs that we both
thought were like, oh, great, and two shows
that were like, huh?
Kid video. Mush music.
Ziggy. No, the mush music is
right in my wheelhouse.
Like 90% of your listeners
would be, oh, Ziggy.
Okay, thank you. And I believe
FOTM Joel Goldberg might have played a role in producing.
Of course he did.
Steven Joel, Raina Lee Morrison was probably in the mix there.
I pray to God.
Yeah.
Shout out to Cabby.
Are you ready, Stu Stone, for your second jam?
Are you ready?
Crank this one up, Charmike listeners.
Let's get cozy.
This one goes out to Lina.
Do you guys have any deet over there?
I'm holding.
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
Beautiful
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
Nights in white satin
We should let him sing, right?
It's beautiful Nights in White Satin. We should let him sing, right?
It's beautiful.
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams.
I see what you did there.
That was the Moody Blues, Nights in White Satin.
One of the best songs, man.
What a song.
And what a departure to their sound that we heard on Pandemic Friday last,
that Once Upon a Time in Your Wildest Dreams, which is also a great song.
Like five months ago.
That was their 80s hit.
Yeah.
80s hits by 70s bands,
as I recall.
There's unbelievable stuff about this song
written by a 19-year-old...
That's a 19-year-old kid
that wrote this song at the time.
Justin Hayward
wrote and composed the song
at age 19.
When did this come...
This is like 65.
No, really.
72.
72. Oh, I thought this was like a is like 65. No, 72. 72.
Oh, I thought this was like a 60s song.
67.
67.
Is that right?
This song has been re-released so many times,
it keeps getting popular when it shows up in pop culture.
So it had a run in 67,
then it went back on the chart again in the 70s,
then again it went back on the chart in 2010, shockingly.
Now listen.
Imagine this.
The guy that wrote this song, he was 19 years old
and his girlfriend had bought him
satin sheets for his bed.
And that's where he came up with Nights in White
Satin. That is literally
the song is about getting a gift above bed
sheets and he ends up writing a song that is now
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As impressive as
Silverchair recording
Tomorrow at the age
of 17. Yeah, but I'm just saying the subject. This sounds
like such a passionate, deep song. No, I'm just joking.
It's really this guy got... So he's like the knight
in this? No, knights is
N-I-G-H-T. N-I-G-H-T.
It's Knights in White Satin.
Oh my god, I always thought it was like... I always thought
it was too. Wow. Yeah. Okay.
That's another topic.
Where did you see this? Okay, well this song does appear in the Bronx Tale, which I saw later on, so I didn. Wow. Yeah. Okay. That's another topic. Where did you see this?
Okay, well, this song does appear in the Bronx Tale, which I saw later on, so I didn't discover it there.
But Casino, we're going back to back.
It's Martin Scorsese here because I couldn't put Rolling Stones songs in because I already knew them.
So then I hear this song.
It is in the movie Casino, very memorable.
It is in the movie Casino, very memorable.
For those that haven't seen Casino,
the story of Sam Ace Rothstein, played by Robert,
you know, Joe Pesci back again.
The only negative about Casino is it was a bit derivative of Goodfellas.
It's still awesome, though.
It's awesome, except anyone who saw Goodfellas a hundred times would find it a little bit...
I don't know.
It had Don Rickles.
Yeah, I think it holds up, man.
Sharon Stone. Yeah, it holds. holds up, man. Sharon Stone.
Yeah, it holds.
And James Woods.
Fuck that guy.
Taking a bit of a turn.
But still, he's good in that movie.
He's had his moments.
I think Casino stands up just fine on its own.
And it's a classic movie.
It's one of my faves for sure.
Right.
So Ace Rothstein and Nicky.
Sort of interestingly enough
The last song I played which was Layla
Which was about Eric Clapton
Sort of stealing his friend's wife
This song plays in the scene where
Spoiler Sharon Stone ends up hooking up
With Joe Pesci's character
Behind Robert De Niro's back
So a real sort of shocking moment in the movie.
You sort of know that their friendship is in trouble at this point if this is happening.
Anyway, Casino is a great movie and this is a great song.
Casino's with the hammer, like Joe Pesci.
Infamously.
Can I say something about the song that Stu's going to like Speak of hammers might hit me with a hammer
I actually
I'm not kidding
I discovered this song in a TV show
This is even more obscure than Kidvid
I don't know if you guys remember a song called
Zigzag
Hosted by Terry David Mulligan
Well I know TDM well I don't remember Zigzag at all
Oh you call him TDM?
Yeah
Vancouver's Much music representative know TDM well, I don't remember ZigZag at all. Oh, you call him TDM? Yeah. He hasn't been on the show.
Vancouver is a much music
representative.
So this was a children's
Canadian children's show, obviously.
I guess Sean Vancouver with these two
perhaps like more
Rubenesque fellas
hosted it, one of which was Tom Hanks' best
friend in the movie The Burbs,
Rick Duncombe. Oh, Duncombe.
I remember The Burbs.
Should I just stop?
No, no, I like this.
Anyway, they would do these fake commercials, like Time Life type videos.
And what was it called again, the show?
Zigzag.
Zigzag.
Talk to Retro Ontario.
But where did you see it?
Do you remember?
Maybe Retro British Columbia would know that one.
Like all the big channels.
It was probably like CTV or Global.
The best I can do for you is that...
I vaguely remember it.
Stu Jeffries, who's in FOTM,
took over Good Rockin' Tonight
when Terry David Mulligan quit that job
for the Much West role.
What is Good Rockin' Tonight?
Good Rockin' Tonight was a video,
like a late night,
like Friday
night or something video show, which I knew
We had plans Friday night
Good Rockin' Tonight
I'm shocked you guys don't remember
Good Rockin' Tonight
I was too busy watching TGIF
Friday, you know, the big slate with
Full House, Family Matters
Anyway, that's
what made Stu Jeffries, and I thought Stu Stone would know all about the other famous Canadian stews.
I'm going to complete my thought and then we can move on.
Anyway, they would have these parody songs,
sort of like a Time Life video with just parody songs.
And they had one called Night in Manhattan.
And one of the guys, not Rick Duncombe, the other guy who had a beard,
he would say,
Nights in Manhattan getting mugged in the snow. Nights in Manhattan getting mugged in the snow.
Nights in Manhattan getting mugged in the snow.
And it was like, I guess this was like comedy in the 80s for young children.
I don't know.
I don't even know what this song is.
Why should I care?
It's a great song, though.
Yeah, it's a fantastic song.
Would we have allowed if one of us, here's my question.
Let's say you brought this song to this,
but it was sparked by a different
tv show like would we allow us to have the same song if the uh tv show was different sure i'd say
no if we get i might as well spill the news that i'm about to play a song that was on stew's list
and i actually begged stew stone to give it to me because i thought this is your number one
according to well i'm gonna play it now because i'm gonna play it now because I have the right to play it now.
Fair.
But here we go.
Love this, baby.
Love it.
What are you visualizing right now?
Because I know what I'm fucking visualizing.
I'm visualizing the greatest shot that made me want to make movies.
It made me want Stu Stone to make movies.
And I've kicked this out before, by the way.
This is not my first Pandemic Friday.
The music selection right now,
and it is the selection,
the George Baker selection,
changed my life.
It changed my life.
I feel like I'll share the jam with you.
You tell your story first,
and then that'll be more impressive
because you've actually directed a movie.
Well, this is from Reservoir Dogs, obviously.
Which is a fucking great movie.
And at the time, at the age that I was,
Reservoir Dogs changed my life
because I was watching shitty movies
until I saw Reservoir Dogs.
And then I'm like, it was like the first time I realized like that was an independent film at the time.
You had to dig to find it.
People didn't know about Reservoir Dogs.
Right.
Your video store clerk literally had to like talk me into it.
And it was made by a video store clerk.
Right.
Jumbo video in Thornell.
And then it led me down a path of trying to seek out more movies
that were under the radar and it shaped it shaped the way that i think so reservoir dogs is a
classic you know i don't know i haven't watched in a long time i'm sure it holds up i've watched
it recently of the teenagers it holds up but it sort of reads it sort of would make a great play
i think like yeah it would make a really good stage show.
So someone should do Reservoir Dogs the play.
You're right.
David Mamet.
I'd like to be in it.
And I worked with
Nice Guy Eddie,
as you know.
Yeah, Chris Penn.
Absolutely.
We talked about that last week.
Mike, why did your kids
think of it?
They loved it.
Actually, my kids,
we've been going through
all the Tarantino.
Four and six year olds.
I'm not gonna,
I'm gonna fucking die.
I'm fucking dying.
You're not gonna fucking die. You're not gonna die. I will not going to fucking die here. I'm fucking dying. You're not going to fucking die. You're not
going to die.
Morgan really likes it when
Steelers wheels that whole scene with Michael
Madsen in the ear. She's a big fan of that.
It's so cute.
Seriously, so far
I think I'm trying to think. That was the best Reservoir Dogs impression
I've ever done, by the way.
That was good. Breezed by that classic
That's Tim Roth.
And Harvey Keitel.
What a cast, too.
And you know, the one guy that kind of sticks out interesting
is Lawrence Kasdan.
What's the name of the real-life criminal that played...
He's at the table at the beginning.
He doesn't have a big role, but he's the older guy.
Don't you point that gun at my dad! He was like
a real life criminal, right? Really?
Yeah, like a real life
criminal. This is like the tipping scene?
Yeah, that's right, because Buscemi
yeah, the tipping scene.
And that's the whole thing about what's like
a virgin about.
Can I give an
unpopular opinion about that? You don't like
Reservoir Dogs. No, no, it's great.
The Tim Ross scene, eh, a little much.
That one I was just doing?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's why I do it.
Okay, I was going to say...
But it's supposed to be really over the top, I think.
Yeah, it was a bit long.
That's unpopular.
I'm cutting your microphone.
So, I mean, again...
Stop me!
You did sound like a Muppet.
Yeah.
And he,
you know,
he has,
yeah,
he's in,
a lot of these guys do show up in Pulp Fiction.
He's in Pulp Fiction.
He also blew my mind when I realized like he's British.
Like I didn't know he was British.
Same thing with Christian Bale from American Psycho.
I was like shocked when he was like in the interviews.
I was going to say Stringer Bell.
Stringer Bell.
Or even McNulty. Like, like, like a lot a lot a lot of these guys so what's your story here
not as much well i didn't inspire me to direct shit except uh fucking fell in love with uh
tarantino movies and ever since jackie brown is good well we could there's a good jam in that we
played what's his name right the uh the guy from we played his gorillas yeah we played his gorillas
obviously and there's the...
Didn't like Robert Forster,
is that the guy's name?
Yeah, he's in...
There was like a scene
he bought like a Delphonic CD
because he's trying to identify
with Pam Green.
Yes.
See, like I know...
No, okay, so...
That's a great movie.
Me and the teens
have been going through
all the Tarantinos
and so far we're batting 1,000.
So shout out to Quentin.
He's rocking it
with the millennials
or whatever these kids are. Generation Z or whatever they're called but uh yeah a lot of music
in these tarantino movies is fantastic it's just trying to figure out which songs you've discovered
in the movie david memmott type of movie yeah very high concept now last week i kicked out uh
son of a preacher man as song Hits from the bong
Hits
right
that's right
we discussed that
so this
I am certain
that I had never heard
Little Green Bag
until I saw
Reservoir Dogs
I would agree with that
and I love the song
to this day
because it was
Reservoir Dogs
and when I got married
in the distillery district
we all took a photo
in our suits
doing the walk
and you know
no one's ever done that before.
I've like tried to emulate that
walk in everything ever.
Can I say that if your dad's watching?
Is Charles watching?
He's watching the Leaf game I think.
I think he's watching Zig Zag.
Alright so gents
third
jam from Cam
Gordon. So far Stu Stu, up to nothing.
Shut up,
Cambrio.
Now we've got to figure out what, like, TV ad
or obscure pilot said.
Oh, stop it.
This is, like, akin
to, like, the last few pics
from you, Schmucks.
Mike, do you know what this is from?
Not off the top of my head yet.
Wow.
I know.
I'm surprised.
But I'm sure I'll go,
oh, I should have known that.
This is like a movie chat.
He's only seen five movies,
so we should figure this out.
From one of the Three ninjas movies probably about a boy uh no that's a good that's a good choice anyway this is bob dylan
uh singer songwriter out of minnesota is he? Robert Zimmerman? Yeah. Bobby.
This is a song called The Man in Me.
Also the chorus from his album New Morning came in 1970,
which is actually his 11th studio album.
Very prolific. Busy guy.
Yeah, he did a lot of stuff in the 60s.
Anyway, this song was in the trailer for
The Big Lebowski.
Good stuff, man.
Does that ring a bell?
Not the movie, but the song. The. Good stuff, man. Does that ring a bell? Yeah. Not the movie, but like the song.
The trailer, sure, yeah.
Yeah.
Like, I'm not really great at like...
The trailer from the movie.
Remembering the trailer is necessary.
Well, it was in the trailer, and then it was also in the movie during one of the drug sequences.
Okay.
To be fair, one of my picks is also a trailer song.
Okay.
So, yeah yeah Big Lebowski
Interestingly
Someone
Stu and I
Went to high school
With our friend
Lonnie Schwartz
Just opened a
Cannabis accessory store
Called Dude Cannabis
Yeah so if you're in the
Area
If you're near
If you're like
An hour and a half
Outside of Peterborough
Oh but it's hard to get
These uh
Licensing
Like it's Isn to get these licensing...
Isn't that like winning a lottery
to be able to open up a can?
He basically won the lottery.
Yeah.
What do they call those?
Licensed producers or whatever?
They call those money makers.
Yeah, pretty much.
You'd have to be like Donald Trump to fuck it up.
You'd have to be an awful business person.
I think so, yeah.
We're going to be getting all political on this.
Yeah, Donald who?
Doesn't ring a bell.
He was in Home Alone 2.
Oh, that guy.
I liked him on The Apprentice.
I did.
I did.
My wife liked The Apprentice.
I never cared for it at all.
I thought it was good.
Did they have The Apprentice Canada?
No, I didn't like the regular one.
I liked The Celebrity Apprentice.
Oh, with like Omar.
No, who was this?
Oh, Omar Rousseff.
No, Little John.
Little John.
Little John was a big character in The Celebrity Apprentice, as I recall.
I never saw that one.
Did you know they're making Who's the Boss again?
Yes.
I saw it.
That can't be successful.
It's like, why?
I know.
I saw they're making another Dirty Dancing movie.
Like, Jennifer Grey is going to lead.
Like, it's like...
No, don't do that.
Just don't.
Like, just don't.
Anyway, The Man and Me, Big Lebowski, another big call.
Great, great movie.
And just like Tarantino and just like Scorsese,
shout out to the Coen Brothers for delivering so much great movies, man.
Yeah.
I now just thought of a song I didn't pick to kick out.
I love Fargo.
Fargo was fantastic.
But I, was it, there's jams on the Old Brothers soundtrack
that were older jams I didn't know that I loved to this day
because of Old Brother.
Wait, what's that?
A Simple Man?
That's a good one, too.
Yeah, that's a good one, too.
I love that.
Anyway, one final comment.
The Man in Me by Bob Dylan as featured in Big Lebowski.
Covered by a bunch of people,
including people like Lonnie Mack and Joe Cocker,
but also covered by The Clash.
You know what?
When you first started playing that song, I thought it was Joe Cocker at first because I remembered the Joe Cocker version but also covered by The Clash. You know what? When you first started playing that song,
I thought it was Joe Cocker at first
because I remembered the Joe Cocker version.
Which could make sense.
Anyway, there's a version by The Clash.
It was on some repackaged version of London Calling,
but it's also on Shopify.
Shopify.
Shopify.
We can go buy it from our local merchandise.
Spotify.
Forward slash Toronto Mike.
Yeah, just call Ivan Payhar
and I'll hook you up.
I did see him
liking a tweet from me
when I said you guys were...
You should get him on the show.
You know whose podcast
he went on?
Tell me.
Let me guess.
Jesse Brown.
Are you talking about...
This is a guy I used to work with
who was on Sales Team.
I met him.
I did meet him.
He was a big
Toronto Mike fan.
You introduced me.
Well, I need to meet them all.
I think I'm the singer
of the Men Without Hats.
His name is Ivan.
That was Ivan Dvorak.
Yeah, I can get you him.
Ivan lives next door.
Right there?
That's his house?
Is that his bathroom window?
Ivan the Terrible lives next door.
Played professional hockey in Copenhagen.
Looks like he's playing with something right now.
Tell me more about this fan of Toronto.
Anyway, Ivan Payhar.
Shout out to Ivan.
Who's now the head of Shopify.
Spotify. The head? Yeah, in Canada. Oh, in Canada. Ivan Payhar Shout out to Ivan Who's now the Head of Shopify Spotify
God
The head?
Yeah in Canada
Oh in Canada
That's nothing
That's like being
That's something
That's six figures
I'm telling you Ivan
Anyway he was on
The podcast with
Corby Fine
It's a camera joke
So you listen to
A lot of podcasts
That's your thing
Well these are like
Sort of people
He's aware of the
Zeitgeist
Yes
Anyway Corby Fine
Was the one who Resurffaced all the Byway stuff.
Oh, there you go.
When he was driving by and I did the alert to Toronto Mike in Retro Ontario
and we had another cycle.
And then it blew up.
And we had another little Byway.
It has its moments.
Yeah, like the fake Byway account on Twitter chimed in.
I don't even know who runs that.
Yeah, I saw that.
He was tweeting that.
Anyway, The Man in Me, Bob Dylan.
Great song. No, The Man in Me, Bob Dylan. Great song.
No, great reference.
I did not recognize it.
And I've seen The Big Lebowski like 20 times.
When I was in Iceland,
Rejkjavik?
What's the name of the city in Iceland?
Anyway, Monica and I were there.
We went to The Big Lebowski Diner or Lounge
or whatever it's called,
which is a Big Lebowski themed eating establishment.
But this one's unlicensed.
It's like the Heart Attack Cafe.
It's unlicensed, I'm sure.
All right, let's kick out another Stew Stone Jam.
And I'll check the score.
Oh, I have another update, but here it is.
It's not a good one.
Goal scored by number 88, William Nylander.
Oh, two nothing weeks?
My son Jarvis loves William Nylander. your god too although i might be laughing loud and hearty deep inside i'm blue so take a good look at
my face you'll see my smile looks out of place if you look closer it's easy to chase the tracks Such a beautiful song.
Assisted by Mitch Marner and Austin Matthews.
Go ahead, Stu.
This is the great Smokey Robinson and the Miracles,
The Tracks of My Tears.
And not only is this a song that I first became made aware of from a show,
but it's also one of those songs where I actually paid attention to the lyrics
and they really affected me in a way at a young age.
It just was a song that seemed like such a happy song,
but it's really a sad song.
And it's just like this sort of profound kind of sad song.
Oh, like Hey Ya.
Sure. That should be another topic songs that sound happy but are sad. Is that song sad?
Yeah Hey Ya is a sad song if you have listened to it. This is different than Hey Ya.
Okay just a sweet song right here and you know an obvious an obvious classic
it's you know it's in the one every sort of a thing that you can you know, an obvious, an obvious classic. It's, you know, it's in the,
it's one,
every sort of a thing that you can,
you know,
it's a classic song.
It's in the library of Congress as a historical artifact type,
type gimmick.
Anyway,
it's been in a lot of stuff,
but I actually,
first recall hearing it in Platoon. Oh.
Which is an Oliver Stone,
my uncle Oliver.
Oliver Stone,
written and directed,
sort of put him on the map
in a lot of ways
for that time period.
Most definitely.
You know,
he won the Best Picture.
It's the first I heard
of Oliver Stone.
Best Picture,
Best Director,
Oliver Stone.
Both Oscars for the film.
Of course,
the film,
if you haven't seen it, it's a Vietnam pick based on Oliver Stone. Both Oscars for the film. Of course, the film, if you haven't seen it,
it's a Vietnam pick
based on Oliver Stone's actual experience in Vietnam.
So maybe you didn't know that.
Tom Berenger of Major League.
Remember Tom Berenger?
The grizzled old catcher.
Willem Dafoe of Boondog Saints.
Boondog Saints.
Boondog Saints.
Charlie Sheen of... The documentary about the guy who made Boondog Saints is actually a bit better than Boondog Saints. Boondog Saints. Boondog Saints. Charlie Sheen.
The documentary about the guy who made Boondog Saints is actually a bit better than Boondog Saints.
What's that called?
Overnight?
Yes, that's right.
It's really good.
You have to find it on YouTube.
It's also got Kevin Dillon, Forrest Whitaker, Johnny Depp.
But interestingly enough, Tom Berringer and Charlie Sheen were both in Platoon and they were both in Major League.
Yes, sir.
So there you go. Can I do another Andy Frost real quick here? Sure. Another
one?
His first NHL goal.
Nicholas
Robertson. Oh, wow.
I forgot his number. I'm looking at a different screen.
Yeah, he's like teenage. So this is the
I now have a son the same age
as a Leaf. That's the first time I've been able to make this.
That guy was like the first guy to make his debut in the playoffs
since a Gainlai or something.
Is that right?
I believe.
Yeah, there was something like that.
A Gainlai did, you're right.
Just to wrap up that last.
Yeah, please, I'm sorry.
No, no, it's okay.
But it is 3-0 Leafs.
That's great news.
I mean, if you have the Leafs minus one and a half, you're laughing.
Thanks, Peter Gross.
So here's the deal.
This song was used in Platoon,
and the soldiers are sort of singing it boisterously together,
and it seems like this sort of happy kind of moment for them,
but the song is a perfect choice because it's really,
they're all about to fucking go to their death maybe.
It's a really sad moment if you really pay attention to what's
going on. Vietnam sucks.
Anyway, shout out to
Smokey Robinson who doesn't
age. Yeah, he has
a lot of help with that. Yes.
I feel like this was in the Big Chill.
Yes, it was. I feel like
we're good to start talking about the Big Chill.
Do you guys know who played the
dead guy in the Big Chill?
Somebody famous.
Yeah.
Eric Stoltz.
Kevin Costner.
Oh.
That is true.
Okay.
Look at how Stu likes to.
That is true.
No, it is.
He's here to kind of let you know when I get a fact right.
Who's the man?
Is it Kevin Klein?
Kevin Nealon.
Kevin Nealon.
Kevin Nealon.
Kevin Pollock.
Kevin Nealon was actually pretty good in Weeds. Kevin McAllister. Kevin Nealon. Kevin Nealon. Kevin Nealon. Kevin Pollock. Kevin Nealon was actually pretty good in Weeds.

It's a qualifier, you know, Stu.
It's not technical. Yeah, no, I know.
I know.
I have the minus one and a half.
It's got action.
All right.
He's holding.
I'm kicking out a jam.
We're going to play a lot of this, and then I'm going to talk about it,
because that's what we do here.
Let's go.
All right. guitar solo Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mystery achievement

Slide, slide, slide
Every day, oh
Every night time I find
Mr. Cheat
On my mind
On my mind
Every day
Any guesses as to what we're listening to?
I think it's the Pretenders.
I was going to say it's the Pretenders.
I don't know what this song is though.
Chrissy Hynde, yeah, this is the Pretenders. The Pretenders. I was going to say The Pretenders. I don't know what this song is, though. Chrissy Hynde.
Yeah, this is The Pretenders.
The Pretenders.
Okay.
Didn't we learn something about her that she was married to, oh, the guy from Simple Minds
was her boyfriend or something?
Jim Kerr.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
She had a relationship with Tom Petty, maybe?
She was married to Ray Davies, too, from The Kings.
Oh, yeah.
She kicks ass, especially this version of The Pretenders.
Just completely kick ass.
So this is the album that has Brass and Pocket in it and everything.
This is 1979's self-titled debut by The Pretenders.
So this song, I had no idea about this song
because I only knew the radio hits from the early Pretenders stuff.
And I started watching a show from David Simon
who put together the uh the wire and the
show is called uh the deuce and every season has like a different like theme song from the this
time or whatever and one of the seasons i can't remember i think it was season two or three
of the opening theme was this song which is called mystery achievement by pretenders
so you know yeah you
do when you when you binge a show like i don't skip these uh i was on crave anyway i don't think
i could skip the intros anyways that's more of a netflix thing but uh bottom line is by the episode
three i was fucking all over this song and i mean it even keeps going it gets better and it's a
kick-ass song i never knew existed yeah until i it in the deuce. I think that could be a treat,
a real treat for music fans.
If there's an artist like The Pretenders
where maybe you always really like their singles
but for whatever reason never got around
to having their albums
and then later in life,
kind of like...
That happens to me.
Yeah, that happens.
It's awesome.
On that show Glow,
I heard randomly this album cut sort of Man on the Corner by Genesis. I heard it on an episode, Glow, I heard randomly this album cut, Man on the Corner by Genesis.
I heard it on an episode of Glow, and then I was like, wow, what's that?
And I downloaded it, and I love it.
It's a great song.
Totally, because Brass in Pocket or whatever, you heard it growing up or whatever.
I almost want to keep going here.
It just even gets better, but this fucking song kills.
I was in my 40s
when i discovered what's it called again mystery achievement from the debut album by the pretenders
this is like the original lineup like this i mean just this is like over 40 years old i know and
listen to it like uh again obviously i'm biased i chose it and I love it. But I would blast this.
And it sounds so fucking good.
Do people live tweet you during this broadcast?
Is that something that we're offering?
I saw Ian Service tweeted at us.
Oh, he did?
Andrew Ward?
Let's see who's here.
Who's watching live?
Any comments on the Periscope?
Well, Lieve Fumka has noticed that there's flies.
I noticed there's mosquitoes tonight.
There's some gnats.
She says Zoom is better for the mosquitoes.
Yes. I think next time better for the mosquitoes. Yes.
I think next time I'm going to spray myself.
But here, let me see who else has tweeted at us here.
And you can tweet at us for the rest.
But can people comment on Periscope?
Is that not?
Yeah, but I don't look at it.
Like, it's so distracting.
Like, it's just too, I have too much going on.
We get to know.
Someone was like talking shit or something.
Why don't you click over?
I don't have internet. I told you, I'll mute us. I don shit or something. Why don't you click over? I don't have internet.
I told you,
I'll mute us.
I don't want it.
Why don't you watch
or listen for once?
He doesn't even get
the Rogue Byway reference.
I'm still kind of hurt by that.
Don't worry,
I'll make up for it.
Oh,
what an outro.
Yeah.
Hey,
what's your preference?
Do you like it when a song
is just done or do you like it when they fade out? I don't like fade outs. Yeah, fade outs what's your preference? Do you like it when a song's just done,
or do you like it when they fade out?
I don't like fade outs.
Yeah, fade outs is not natural.
I don't like fade outs either,
but then I heard a podcast where someone says,
the fade out lets the song play forever.
Like, a fade out means it never ends.
It's still going.
And I started warming up to it.
I had the song that never ends, right?
With Lamb Chop.
Yes.
So she died.
She did.
Which is sad.
I hope so.
Anyway, like, moments in love,
like that could seem like
could go on for...
Right.
That would be fine
with like a slow film.
But I like it when they just
like that,
like a bam.
Well, for something like this
it's like fucking rocking.
Hard hitting.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, ready for the fourth jam
from Cam Gordon.
Yes.
Yes.
Or how about a fade in like that?
That's a fade in.
Did you do that on purpose?
I would never.
It just worked out.
The podcast gods are smiling.
Can't wait to hear what commercial this is from. Oh, yeah.
So Ian says he's watching you, Stu.
Oh, what's up, Ian?
What's up, my man, Tim?
Tim Dow.
Ho, oh.
Columbus has scored.
3-1, Luce.
Who scored?
Pierre-Luc Dubois.
Not to be confused with Ty Dubois from
Kim Mitchell.
I feel like that guy's been on the team for
the entire time they've had a team.
Wasn't he on Pittsburgh?
That's another Dubois.
Yeah, I think that's him.
Pasquale Dupuis?
Yeah, that's him.
This is a cam jam.
Yeah.
That's very fragrant back here, Mike.
That was awesome.
Oh, yeah.
My new neighbor.
Your new neighbor is right here.
Kareem, say hi to Kareem.
What's up, Kareem?
I can't hear you, but how are you?
You're welcome to come and say hello to Mike. Shelby can come and say hi on Kareem. What's up, Kareem? I can't hear you, but how are you? You're welcome to come and say hello to Mike.
Shelby can come and say hi on camera.
Yeah.
I can't hear you because I'm on headphones, but that's Mike.
That's my new neighbor, Kareem.
A live broadcast.
Shout out to Kareem, my new neighbor.
What's up, Kareem?
How are you, man?
This is the coolest neighbor that he's ever had.
So you obviously haven't had too many neighbors.
I need to give him a mic.
I wish this was on mic.
Yeah.
I mean, you can just smoke it over on that chair.
Yeah.
Do you want to come?
I don't have a cushion though.
I can put a cushion on.
I don't know if you have songs for listening to.
That's what Ben Rayner let you down.
He came over.
Oh, yeah.
Omar is the guy that's going to blaze up.
It's Kareem.
Yeah.
Kareem.
Oh, yeah.
It's COVID time.
Let's see.
No violations.
Yeah, that's true.
He's dropping knowledge on us off mic here.
This is the second week in a row we had party crashes.
Very Bob Marley.
Bob Marley would roll a big joint and then just not pass it.
Yeah, that's why he always has pictures of giant joints in his hand.
I didn't know that.
Some of the finest head shots on the street.
I feel like you need to swing the mic over for Cream to praise me as the coolest neighbor he's ever...
Did he say coolest neighbor?
You should have him on the show.
Did he say coolest neighbor?
No, he said your neighbor is the friendliest neighbor.
But not coolest.
Definitely not.
Did you say he was the coolest neighbor? Oh, he said coolest. He did say you were the friendliest neighbor. But not coolest. Definitely not. Did you say he was the coolest neighbor?
Oh, he said coolest.
He did say he was the coolest.
Did you see Mike building the shed, by the way?
Did he do it himself?
Did he pay someone to do it?
I paid someone to do it.
I never said I built the shed.
All right.
I know my limitations.
He said it's a fabulous shed.
This is live right now.
If you have a phone,
you could go on Twitter
and you can see and hear the song.
You could watch it right now. Yeah, right now you could watch can go on Twitter and you can see what and hear the song like you could watch it right now.
Yeah, right now you could watch it.
He hasn't been on the camera. He's got to go between you
and smile. But you can go on right
now. Go to Twitter.
Do you have the Twitter app on your phone?
There you go.
Twitter.com
slash Toronto Mike. You're just joining us live.
Mike's neighbor. Kareem.
Kareem. New neighbor but this is the first time in my life somebody has said live. Mike's neighbor. Kareem. Kareem.
New neighbor,
but this is the first time in my life
somebody has said
I was the coolest neighbor
they've ever had.
Stu is speechless.
Okay, so once you're on Twitter.
It takes a lot for Stu
to be tongue-tied over here.
They're like,
this is great.
I feel like Kareem
needs some mic time.
Anyway, while he...
Oh, yeah, go ahead.
Is he going to figure out how to get on Periscope?
Tell him if only the director of communications at Twitter was here.
Once you're on Twitter, you've got to go to Toronto Mike's page, right?
It's on Toronto Mike's...
At Toronto Mike.
At Toronto Mike.
Or at Toronto Podcast.
Anyway, this is New Order we're listening to.
The song Temptation as featured in the movie.
You guys know?
No.
Wait, can I?
Similar vintage to the Big Lebowski and Reservoir Dogs,
another cult classic.
You know, I don't know.
It was in the movie Train Spot.
Oh, my God.
Really?
I end on the Train Spotting soundtrack.
Oh, because I almost picked the song from the Trainspotting soundtrack
Yeah so this is like
This is not dissimilar
To your Pretenders pick
We all know
Blue
Blue
Blue Monday
We all know
Bizarre Love Triangle
Right
I never heard this song
Until A was in the movie
B was on the soundtrack
Right
So the scene in the movie
It's in is actually
Renton
Ewan McGregor
Showing up
He sleeps with
Did you find it?
You found the Twitter page?
So if you just go through the profile,
you'll see his last tweet should be
like a link to watch what's
happening right now.
So Mike's checking the Leaf
game.
Working the Twitter app over here.
Is this on the train spotting?
They had a second soundtrack. Remember they released... had a second soundtrack This was on the first soundtrack
So I can tell you
I came this close to putting
Lou Reed's Perfect Day on my list
That would have been a fine choice
Because I love it in Trainspotting
I'll be honest I could have put Iggy Pop Lust for Life
Why don't you go up there
I'm worried he'll trip on the cords there
And again
Ian's upset that the neighbor's talking off mic.
He wants a mic for the neighbor.
I feel like he's on like TikTok.
He's laughing.
Are you on his profile?
Let me see your phone.
I'm not going to touch it.
Just show me your phone.
Don't worry.
Stu's been tested.
Yeah, that's it right there.
So click on that and you can just open that.
And now you're seeing.
That's what.
You see we're waving to you. Yeah, there's a click on that and you can just open that. And now you're seeing that. That's what you see.
We're waving to you.
Yeah, there's a delay.
There's a delay.
Yeah.
Yeah. There's a good 20 seconds.
It's in case someone swears or something like that.
We have to be able to beep it out, you know.
Or cough.
Cough button.
Anyway.
Yeah.
I just got you another viewer.
Anyway.
Anyway.
New order.
Temptation.
Great. Great. Great job.
We're hitting some classic soundtracks.
We're hitting Goodfellas.
We're hitting Reservoir Dogs.
All the finest movies of the 90s.
Honestly, Trainspotting was...
What's the Born Slippy?
That Born Slippy.
I used to blast that thing and trip out on Born Slippy.
It was really long too. Yeah, yeah. And it was really
long too.
I almost
want to play it now and just jag it really loud.
Like that would qualify for this
list. Yeah, yeah. I'd like to hear that.
Because Born Slippy existed in
the universe before. And also
Lust for Life. Oh yeah, but
that was a lot of people discovered.
Two minutes of Born Slippy.
Yeah, honestly.
Is that the song that we're singing?
It was Underworld, by the way.
Yeah, oh man, that's a good one.
Honestly, I would have rather heard this.
My heart rate's already increasing.
Can you hear the song that we're hearing?
Yeah, but he's 20 seconds away.
Sorry, we got to get you a mic next time.
Well, I didn't know he was dropping by.
My apologies.
Actually, this I think of as like a bit of a Martin Street song, too.
Like, this is definitely in the mix.
This makes me want to go to Vegas or something and just get crazy.
This was one of the songs where you, if I were sober and I listened to it really loud, I'd feel sober.
I want to sample this.
You can sample this.
You can offer cream of Great Lakes there.
Do you want a brewski?
Do you want a brewski?
Yeah?
Drink?
Okay, we'll go for it.
Do you want a lasagna?
No, hey, careful.
I don't have a supply right now.
I was cracking, like, you know.
Yeah, fucking great jams on this.
It's a good episode.
Like, we've had some fine choices.
Oh, Pulp's on this soundtrack, too. It's a long episode. We've had some fine choices. Oh, Pulp's on this soundtrack, too.
It's a long jam, though.
I want to put this on my phone.
What is this, Underworld?
Yeah.
Underworld, Born Slippy.
There was some other song that I wanted to choose, Mike,
and I said I'd pick this one.
Are you smoking a blunt?
Is that a blunt?
It's a blunt.
Yeah, I recognize the scent.
Do neither of you two partake?
No. So I'm looking for scent. Do neither of you two partake? No.
So I'm looking for a cannabis sponsor.
Are you?
But I need someone who smokes it.
Like you need like a...
I don't know.
Maybe my buddy Kareem here.
I know some comms people that might help you out there.
I know a blunt when I smell one.
Oh, yeah.
It's a good smell.
This song's called Born Slippy.
Yeah.
This is like 10 minutes long.
It's 10 minutes.
I will bring it down because we have to move on.
That was a bonus.
That's a bonus anyway.
But your choice of New Order from the Trainspotting soundtrack is inspired.
I'm going to take it in a different direction.
Good.
Okay, talk to us.
Let me know when you want me to play it.
Can you recall any films?
This is like a bit of a riddle trivia question for you.
Is that the end?
Can you recall any films for Cam Gordon?
Yeah.
My father the hero.
Finding Nemo.
The song that I have is also a finishing maneuver for a professional wrestler.
Like the song title.
The Rude Awakener.
The song title is also the same
as a finishing maneuver
for a professional wrestler.
Sleeper hold.
Ghostbusters.
Alright, let's
throw it on and see.
Coco Beware was the ghost.
Wayne Ferris.
Sure. He comes up a lot
on this show
shake
rattle and roll
the honky tonk man
by the way
Marty Jannetty
like what the
yeah yeah
he killed a man
who killed a man
well I'll tell you
in the movie Clue
which is this
he's from
there were
there was a man killed
but he's talking
about Marty Jannetty former tag team partner of, but he's talking about Marty Jannetty,
former tag team partner of
Shawn Michaels and the Rockers, Marty Jannetty.
He got thrown through the barbershop window?
He killed a man and he admitted it on a Facebook
post and now they're investigating him.
But that's not what this song is from.
Like a casual murder confession.
This song is
Shake, Rattle and Roll by Bill Haley
in the comicsomets.
Also popular for Rock Around the Clock.
Most popular for Rock Around the Clock.
But this is from the film Clue, and it's played in the movie Clue.
It's the song from the movie Clue.
And if you haven't seen Clue, it is a funny sort of comedy mystery film
based on the popular board game Clue.
It's a bit of a caper.
It's a rare movie based on a board game.
Yes, and it was pretty fun for the time.
Battleship was a movie as well.
I remember enjoying it very much as a kid.
John Landis involved in the writing of the movie.
Christopher Lloyd is in the movie.
It's like an ensemble cast.
Martin Mull is in the movie.
Anyway, there was three endings to the movie.
I don't know if you're familiar.
There was three endings. In one ending, do you want me to the movie. I don't know if you're familiar. There was three endings.
In one ending, do you want me to spoil it?
You know what?
I've been told by countless people that I would enjoy this movie, but I've never seen it.
Oh, it's really fun.
You can spoil it because I won't remember.
Well, there's an ending in which Miss Scarlet did it.
You won't remember this.
There's one ending where Miss Peacock did it,
and then the best ending is the one where everybody did it, except for, I believe it's Mr. Green.
Oh, this is like Who Shot Mr. Burns.
Yes.
And it was Maggie.
Some more fun facts about this song, Shake, Rattle, and Roll.
Not only is it the honky-tonk man's finishing maneuver.
Bill Haley in the comments.
This is actually a cover.
So they covered a guy who released this same song in the same year.
Talk about, you know, not having any patience.
It's like tag team stealing from...
Yeah, and this song climbed up the charts for Bill Haley.
There it is.
Elvis Presley also covered the song,
and that's probably how Honky Tonk Man came up with Jake Wild and Roll.
Who sang this verse?
Not Bill Haley.
Is it like Jackie Wilson or something?
No.
I can get that information from you.
While you're digging that info, can I say I came this close to picking a Bill Haley song
because I discovered Rock Around the Clock because it was the opening theme for Happy Days.
And I used to watch it in syndication.
And I loved Rock Around the Clock from Happy Days.
Anyway, this movie
you would go to the theater and you wouldn't know which ending you'd see clue yeah i think that i
think they thought like people would go and see the movie multiple times to try to get to the third
but how pissed would you be the fifth time you saw that same ending how good would the movie have to
be that you would sit through like an hour and 40 minutes of like Martin Mull without
I like between two ferns
as much as the next one
I actually saw this movie at
there used to be a movie theater under the Sheridan
Center
like that hotel downtown I remember
vividly being there with my dad and my
sister and seeing Clue
I just confirmed something
okay I'm ready
you confirm that I'm ready.
You confirm that. I'm going to check in on the lead.
Big Joe Turner is the guy that put this song out, and ironically,
the same week that he went to number
one on the R&B chart with this song
is the same week that Bill Haley released
his cover. Isn't that shocking?
Just things move faster.
They move really fast.
It's spread slower so you can have localized hits.
However, this is a controversial song as well
because people feel like Turner was not properly credited by Elvis or whatever.
But the interesting part is that Bill Haley and Turner,
you would think that they'd be enemies,
but not like tag team in the 69 Boys.
This story has a different ending.
Haley ends up becoming really good friends with Turner.
They end up touring together.
And when Turner was down on his luck,
Haley arranged for the Comets to come
and back the musician for a series of recordings
to get him back up on his feet again.
Okay.
So that's a happy ending.
What's Turner's name again?
Let me just confirm.
It's not like, because of course, the great Dave.
Big Joe Turner.
Okay, not Frank Turner.
No, no, Big Joe Turner.
Dave Hodge's favorite musician.
Big Ted Turner.
Big Joe Turner.
Yeah.
Big Joe Turner.
Turner and Hooch.
Yeah, Turner and Hooch.
So there you go.
Boom, bada boom.
Excellent.
Billy Haley in the comments, the movie was Clue.
I was just.
Clue was the movie.
Before I kick out this jam, I'm going to brace myself because it's going to be very controversial.
Okay.
Absolutely.
Who's the...
Flip the table.
Who's the Blue Jay Turner?
Oh, Turner or Turner Ward.
Yeah, Turner Ward.
Right, right, right.
Big Turner Ward.
Turner and Hooch.
You already said that.
Dwayne Ward.
Okay.
So, controversial because I know
I made the rules and I said television
or movies, but I did something
different. I'm going to play it and then I'm going to tell you
my story. You ready?
Sorry, Tina Turner.
A lot of Turners, actually.
I think Turner and Hooch is the one and then two would be Tina Turner.
Okay, you guys ready?
Let's say Turner Ward.
It's three to one Leafs.
Not a Thursday night.
Bad Lubbock Fridays.
Cam Gordon in the morning.
That is a good morning, DJ boys.
Oh, this is good.
Well, if you allow it, we'll talk about that.
I don't know what movie you heard it in.
It's coming, Stu.
Is this a Metallica song that Metallica fans like or don't like?
That I don't know.
I just know it's a Metallica song I did not know
until I saw something, which I'll disclose in a moment.
Sounds like a very major chord for Metallica.
Yeah.
Yeah, brother.
Very Edgerunnel, too.
Sounds like Blink-182.
Yeah.
Adam's song.
So this song
was the song played
during a montage
that celebrated
the heroics
of number 17,
Wendell Clark.
Wow.
This video montage,
which was...
Dude,
you fucking made
this topic.
You made this topic.
I like this.
Songs from montages
is a whole different episode.
At least hear me out.
At least hear me out.
Are you like European?
Montage.
So pretentious.
Okay.
Okay.
Hold on.
Another hit by Wendell.
That's bullshit.
Okay.
We could,
montage songs is a whole episode.
The name of this,
yeah,
but I discovered this song
through the montage.
The name of the montage
was All Heart.
All Heart.
Yeah.
A fan put it together,
put it on YouTube.
A YouTube video?
Wow.
I'm leaving.
We've done it. Wow.
This is a fucking
I hope your neighbors call the cops.
Mike, I was with you until you just said
This is absolutely a joke.
Toronto Mike, I hope Cambrio is listening.
This is a fucking joke.
You're a disgrace to Pandemic Friday.
You made the topic, and you're picking a song from a fan upload to a YouTube video?
I'm sure unauthorized.
Oh, definitely.
Wow.
This is ridiculous. I think you guys
need to watch All Heart before you
judge. You're ridiculous.
What a scumbag. It's not a TV
show.
It's not even like a
fan uploaded, edited
video. It means a lot to me.
It means a lot to me.
Couldn't that have been his own topic songs you discovered
on YouTube videos?
Shout out to FOTM Elvis.
No.
No shout outs.
Elvis, you don't get a shout out.
Every morning before you have to head off
to the office or whatever, you watch All Heart
and it fucking hypes you up and you can get
through the day.
This is ridiculous.
Still not a movie, still not a TV show.
Or even a commercial. Cam, you officially and you can get through the day. This is ridiculous. Still not a movie. Still not a TV show. Yeah, or even a commercial.
Wow.
Cam, you officially are in second place.
Thank you.
Mike is disqualified.
Hold on.
I'm heading over to Twitter.
You know what's the most...
He should be suspended for this.
This is so...
Egregious.
Disgusting.
It literally is.
Like, we're talking about Goodfellas.
Yes.
Okay, I just...
Some of the finest moments in cinema. Yes. You're talking about Goodfellas. Yes. Okay, I just... Some of the finest moments in cinema.
Yes.
You're talking about some unauthorized fan video
that celebrates, and I love Wendell as much as the next guy.
This is a joke.
You are joking, right?
This isn't your real...
No, I'm not joking.
This is your entry?
All heart, guys.
What a piece of shit.
Sorry, is that the name of the song?
Do you even know?
The name of the song is Hero of the Day.
Oh, my God.
Hero of the Day by Metallica.
Thank God.
That's the most pretentious moment in the history of Pandemic Friday.
It's called All Hearts.
I've got a good slime compilation video of like jiggly slime.
Does it include a song that you discovered in that?
Mike, you specifically said movie, television show in your instructions.
Did you say that?
Yes or no?
Yes or no?
Yes or no?
Yeah, I said that.
Yes.
And you picked a fan fiction YouTube video, like Wendell Clark's fucking propaganda Wendell Clark video of him throwing hits so you could watch it at 6 in the morning.
You should see these hits.
Okay, give us this at least. What type of clips are we talking about? Clark video of him throwing hits so you could watch it at 6 in the morning. You should see these hits.
Give us this at least.
What type of clips are we talking about?
Is this him versus McSorley? Is this him against the team?
That's ridiculous.
It's him taking on
much bigger men on the ice
and his body checks blowing them up.
If this was live right now
and we had a live audience,
they would be booing
the shit out of you right now.
And rightfully so.
Who was the guy in the blues
he just totally...
I'm never going to take shit
from anything again.
Or is it Tony Tante?
Twist?
No, Tante.
John Tanta.
Tony Tante might be
the greatest Maltese player
in the history of the NHL.
Joey Tata from the Peach Fit.
Joey Tata.
Wait a second.
Basically, never again will I take shit for anything I ever do.
You gave me shit for KRS-One.
That's the sound of the police when he's clearly singing about stinging the boys.
And you are giving...
That's worse than this.
No, it's not even close.
At least mine was like an attempt at doing something kind of fun.
I agree.
At least he was doing material.
This is just, I don't know.
A joke. I don't know what the fuck you're doing
if you've just been inside too long.
The pandemic's getting, like, I don't know.
Next week, we're going to... Don't get to this place
where I am today without taking a few risks.
We're on Zoom next week.
You've got to take some risks.
He's going to drive to Mimico for this shit.
If I played it safe, would I have this?
Would I be this Kareem's coolest
neighbor ever? You just, Kareem honest. Would I be this Kareem's coolest neighbor ever?
You just,
Kareem fucking hates you now.
Once Kareem hears this,
he's not,
it's over.
He'll respect the fact
that I went off.
Kareem,
I know you can't hear
because he just played
a fucking YouTube video.
It wasn't even Chocolate Rain
or something good like that.
Everybody listening
should Google
some major chord Metallica song
that you heard
on a Wendell Clark fan video
for songs you learned from a movie.
I'm going to ask you a serious question.
Yeah.
Like, would you pull that shit with Nick Kipro?
I don't think he would.
I think you're disrespecting Cam and I.
Like, he'd jump over the table like Jim Everett on Jim Rome.
I asked him about those fuckers at TSN tweet.
No.
Do you remember that?
You're worse than everybody.
Is that in the Hall of Fame over there?
I do recall that tweet.
Okay.
Let's move on.
We have one more jam to go.
Why do we have to move on?
All of us have a bonus jam,
so this will take another hour here.
There's a bonus to that?
Wendell Clark?
No.
A bonus to my last jam.
That was my fourth jam.
By the way, Mike,
my final choice.
Okay, let's...
I want a final thought too,
by the way.
We should both be able
to say something. Let's take the high road on, my final choice. Okay, let's. I want a final thought too, by the way. We should both be able to say something.
Let's take the high road on this.
All heart.
Like Omar took the high road?
A little bit.
His name is Kareem.
It's disrespectful to my new neighbor.
It's a bit.
It's a bit.
It's like Tim.
Yeah.
Like Ian.
Anyway.
Do you have both clips for mine?
For my final try?
Yeah, that's what I mean by.
I have the.
Yeah.
That's your final word. Do you have both clips? Okay. Okay. I'd like a final word. Can I get my final try? Yeah, that's what I mean by That's your final word?
Do you have both clear?
Can I get a final word?
Nobody loves your final jam more than I do.
Can I get a final word in on that last round?
I just want to
I hope that
in the history and the annals
of this program
specifically Pandemic Friday Contribution
and the Tyler Campbell.
Whoever is keeping score
or keeping track
or keeping record of such things,
let it be known.
It was written.
Let it be put into the books
forever to remember
that in round four
of Pandemic Fridays,
songs from movies,
a topic that Mike pushed on us.
Mike's selection
was a song,
a Metallica major chord song
that I must highlight that
and that he heard on a
YouTube video that was uploaded
by a Wendell Clark fan
showing highlights of Wendell Clark
hitting Tony Twist and Marty McSorley
et al.
In fairness, it was a super fan.
So that's complete nonsense.
There should be an asterisk.
This day should forever be commemorated as the worst entry in the history of Pandemic Friday.
Can I get an amen?
At least shout out the Bob Probert, Wendell Clark Tilt.
It was a great brawl.
I've actually seen that fan video, by the way.
Great video.
Oh, heart.
It's amazing.
It's in the book.
Every day.
All right.
We got a note from Twitter from Andrew Ward, who's a big fan.
Who's hopefully agreeing with us for lambasting you.
He's asking if we have more light.
So maybe we need to start bringing lanterns or something.
Yeah.
Because he wants more light because he wants to see you guys.
When can I see you guys. Like Basil McRae.
When can I see you again?
All right.
We got to get to Cam Gordon's final jam.
Okay, guys.
This has been a lot of fun.
It's final jam.
Is it from a YouTube video
or is it from a TikTok?
It's great.
It's on YouTube.
A million dollars
if Stu gets this, by the way. So far he doesn't. A million dollars if Stu gets this, by the way.
So far, he doesn't.
A million doll hairs.
I dig it, though.
It sounds like Droidavision.
Cut it out, brother.
Sounds like Gowan.
Like Tyler, the creator Peter should rap on it.
Yeah, get some Illion in the mix.
Cambrio says that Stewstone won.
Of course he did.
What was your last choice?
Oh, Rock Around the Clock?
No.
Shake, Rattle, and Roll.
Lucky Tongue Man, baby.
Shake, Rattle, and Roll.
Not a very strong selection yourself.
Yeah.
Clue is a great movie.
Yeah, Clue's cool.
I don't know.
I have no clue.
Okay. This is a deep cut. Is that Ozzy Osbourne?
No.
This is one of the few
canned contracts we've got.
Anyway, so this is
Malcolm Byrne.
Malcolm Byrne with a song called
Wall of Glass.
Not be mistaken with a song by
Liam Gallagher, Wall of Glass.
From his 1988 album Red now mike somebody on your podcast recently was talking about malcolm burn
yeah i think it was cam cam carpenter maybe no my makes this malcolm burn was the singer for boys
brigade most famously i think it was cam carpenter that that would make sense it's a cam yeah or tom wilson maybe like he's another hamilton guy yeah but tom hasn't been on a long time I think it was Cam Carpenter. That would make sense. It was a Cam. Yeah, or Tom Wilson maybe.
He's another Hamilton guy. Yeah, but Tom
hasn't been on a long time. I think he's more recent.
Although Tom's coming back in August.
He loves the Palm Apostles. I was going to say, hook him up
with another Apostle. Tom Rivers coming?
No. Too soon.
No, but one of his co-hosts
is my client, Larry Fedorek.
Yeah, it was Larry.
Air Force. Anyway, Malcolm Byrne. Of course. Are they Air Force?
Anyway, Malcolm Byrne.
Stu's mad at me for Hero of the Day.
I can't believe that.
There's a guy picking up fucking Wendell Clark fan video. Anyway, I'm going to redeem this whole episode.
I hope so, because so far you're not.
But go ahead.
Anyway, I'm getting there.
Anyway, the name of this album is actually called Redemptions.
Right.
It's perfect.
Anyway, Malcolm Byrne is also a partner with Daniel Lanois.
Ah.
He's worked on albums from everyone, from Bob Dylan, the Neville Brothers.
Maybe it was Mark Howard.
Because he worked with Daniel Lanois.
Is that the Mark Howard singer?
Isn't Mark Howard the guy who produced Day for Night?
I'm not sure.
Anyway, Malcolm Byrne, worked with
Midnight Oil, Iggy Pop,
John Mellencamp,
Patti Smith, and Better Than Ezra.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe I might just write you a letter.
Oh, maybe I'll see you on the
4th of July.
But I'm not quite...
They played a free concert at Mill. Right. Okay.
They played a free concert at Mill. We were there.
It was good living with you.
Anyway, when I sent this to you, I think I sent the context.
You probably knew.
Does this song sound familiar at all?
You know what?
No.
No.
And he's the context, which I'm going gonna play next is very familiar so i just never heard
this i'm gonna maybe just do you want to just fade in the other clip in the interest of time okay
you ready so i think most people in your audience would know this
where this song was heard because it's actually in two different places
my audience will know this or they're out i was gonna stay here for you joey
i was making all my plans around you and tessa me we're through it's over with oh that's awesome
again i promise okay caitlin please let me i can explain, Caitlin, please. Wow. This is so key to guys our age.
Caitlin, please.
And gals.
Open the door, Caitlin.
Come on, let me in.
I can explain this, please.
Poor Joey.
So for, I'd be shocked if anyone listening to this.
What's this song called again?
I want to download this.
Yeah, I'll send it.
I'll tweet this out.
Malcolm Byrne.
Wall of Glass.
So this is
Degrassi schools out the movie.
This is moments right
after Caitlin
confronted Joey
Jeremiah because she found out
he was cheating with
Tessa. Is this by Don Ross?
Malcolm Byrne. I know, but it's not on. I can't get Don Ross? It's not on. Malcolm Byrne.
I know, but it's not on.
I can't get this song.
It's pretty obscure.
Anyway, this was right after she.
She goes, you fucked Tessa.
You fucked Tessa Campanelli.
Yes.
Caitlin said that.
It was the.
Yeah.
There was swearing earlier.
With the CF bomb heard across the country.
First time I ever heard fuck off on CBC.
Yeah.
When I moderate a panel
at Degrassi Palooza,
it came up. It's
iconic for people our age.
Anyway, and the song that soundtracked
The Aftermath was
Malcolm Byrne,
Wall of Glass. Now,
one other fun fact about this song, even though
this is really depressing, what you're hearing now
is someone fucking drowning.
Yeah, someone's drowning and Snake rescues
the drowning person and he breaks down.
That's how Caitlin found out.
Snake and Joey
were going back and forth.
It happened earlier.
The song kicks in after.
This song was also featured in a previous
Degrassi episode as well. An episode called
The All-Nighter,
which was sort of like a
repartee show where
Arthur and Yik and Luke
were playing an all-night poker
game. Stephanie Kay's stepbrother,
right? Wasn't that Arthur? That's right.
It was kind of like, oh, Arthur's a geek, but he's really
like a card shark.
I remember that episode. And the other one
was there was a sleepover
with Caitlyn and Melanie.
Yes.
And Kathleen?
Yeah, Kathleen.
It came out that
her mom was an alcoholic.
Oh, I remember that.
But they were smoking
and enjoying
much like your neighbor.
Kareem.
Kareem was not there.
It's legal, you know.
Yeah.
But anyway,
there's clips of this.
It's called The All Nighter
and this song's playing
in the background
sort of at the 3am part.
Yeah, Malcolm Byrne.
3am, I must be lonely.
Incredibly obscure but worth
the journey. And there's a
haunting line in this clip
where somebody says
where's Lucy? She should have been back by now.
That's right and she of course was
Goosebumps. Should we say what happened?
Yeah, let's do it.
Wheels.
Yeah, Wheels was drunk driving.
He should have known better because his parents passed away.
Did she die?
No, she didn't die.
She went blind, though.
She was badly injured in a drunk drive.
Yeah, Wheels went to jail.
So to summarize, the final 50 minutes of Degrassi's School's High,
the final episode...
School's...
What did I say? School's High. School's High. the final episode. School's out. What did I say?
School's High. School's High.
You're thinking of Kareem. It's Kareem.
Omar. Okay.
So, Wheels goes to jail.
Lucy's blind.
Joey and Caitlin are done.
Tess has an abortion. Oh, boy.
Big episode. And Snake was
really, like, saving the
drowning person. I know Snake's reaction, he was just breaking down.
I think he carries that.
Yeah, it's a lot.
I've been told I'm like Snake, by the way.
Because you're tall and skinny?
Yeah, and just sort of fly.
Arrogant.
We'll have to fix that next time.
Snake is not arid.
Yeah, I think we mentioned it, but Snake married a local comic,
a stand-up comic, Shaughnessy.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, the zit remedy for life.
Absolutely.
One day we'll kick out that jam.
I actually met Joey Jeremiah in the last year maybe.
That year?
At some charity sort of thing.
Pat Mastroianni?
Yeah, very nice man.
I once, when I was working at the C&E, he came by and I gave him free games at Papa Ball.
Just because he was Joey Jeremiah.
Just because he was Joey.
And he was very nice.
But I haven't been able, unlike Cam, I have been unable to get Joey Jeremiah
as a fucking guest on this podcast.
Anyway, sadly, one final thought.
This song, this is not shocking,
is not on Shopify.
I cannot.
Shopify.
Spotify.
Not on Shopify either.
Not on Spotify.
Boys Brigade, yes.
Shopify.
Maybe Malcolm Bird's on Shopify.
Okay, let's go back.
We recently, I guess with Layla, we went to Vietnam, I suppose, with Stu.
Let's go back to Vietnam, if we don't mind.
From Muskoka.
Hey!
Oh!
Is that Andy Day's play?
It's unbelievable.
What a song.
There must be some kind of way out of here.
Say the joker to the thief.
There's too much confusion.
I can't get no relief
business man
there, drink my wine
great fucking song, agreed
all along the watchtower, the Jimi Hendrix experience
you may have heard it in such films as
Blue Chips, Forrest Gump, Vegas Vacation
or even the trailer in film
Clockers, the Harvey Keitel-Spike-Lee joint.
But I actually discovered this in A Bronx Tale.
Oh, De Niro.
Yeah, which is really an underrated movie.
Leonardo DiCaprio, right?
No.
No. What am I thinking of?
I don't know.
Okay, go on.
Could be many films.
But Bronx Tale is with Robert De Niro Chaz Palminteri
it's a really
awesome movie
this plays in a scene
Collagelo
that's the kid
see
Sonny
played by Chaz Palminteri
if you're familiar
have you seen Bronx Tale
I think I have seen it
really good movie
anyway
there's this scene
where his friends
pick him up
they get in the car
it's a stolen car, Cologelo.
And they've got Molotov cocktails.
And they're going to go throw the Molotov cocktails and start a race war.
And Sonny, Chaz Palminteri, who's like the godfather of the neighborhood, stops the car,
pulls Cologelo out of the car, and tells him, what the fuck are you thinking?
Those kids go on and start problems.
And they all get in trouble when Cologelo learns a valuable life lesson.
The song is a classic.
I mean, listen, it's a classic.
And that's a really classic movie, in my opinion, Bronx Tale.
I love it.
Is that like 93, 94?
I don't remember what year it was.
The movie I was confusing it with, which is the Leonardo DiCaprio.
It's a YouTube fan montage of Doug Gilmore?
Robert De Niro.
I have a jersey upstairs for the killer.
De Niro and DiCaprio appeared in This Boy's Life in 93.
This is where De Niro plays a bus driver.
So it's like the opposite of how you've seen De Niro before.
He plays the bus driver who's sort of like a working class guy that hates the mafia.
And it's against, it's sort of the first time De Niro's, you know, we see him in a mafia movie where he is not in the mafia.
It's like everything, against everything.
Yes.
And it's just a great, it's just a great movie.
I love it.
What did you guys think of The Irishman?
I have to watch it again, but I remember.
I remember it felt long, but
I'm going to watch it again. It was a little
awkward at times.
The awkward is when the old De Niro
is trying to kick the shit out of that guy, and he looks
like an old man trying to do it. But I still
love Scorsese, obviously.
And I love
De Niro, and I love Pesci, and I love all those
movies. I just thought, what's the point?
This seems like the Who's the Boss reboot.
Like, just, like, why?
Do we need this now?
I don't know.
I mean, I'm not going to tell Martin Scorsese and De Niro
to stop making movies if they want to make movies.
I'll watch them.
Well, maybe he should finish up the fucking SCTV reunion film
that was supposed to come out two years ago.
Like, where's that?
Why are we making noise about that?
I have some friends that were working on that.
Where is it?
I think it takes a long time to make a movie.
How about I could have made that in a weekend?
Oh.
So you're ready to have your mind sort of blown,
but probably not blown at all?
Sure.
Your mind's not going to be blown at all.
Well, I'm ready for my mind not to be blown at all.
I'm ready for your mind not to be blown. I. You're ready for your mind not to be blown.
I don't think we have a choice, so go ahead.
Go ahead, Mike.
No one's minds are getting blown.
No.
Maybe Ken's.
No. There must be some way out of here Said the Joker to the thief
Yeah, Bob Dylan.
It's a Bob Dylan song.
There's too much confusion
I said no one, you know.
I can't get no real
You used to have really mind-blowing things at the end.
Wow, this was tough because I didn't pick songs off that I saw on YouTube videos about Pat LaFontaine.
I could have.
La la la la la Pat LaFontaine. I could have. But yeah, for those that don't know,
that's Bob Dylan singing All Along
the Watchtower. So if you thought, you know,
a lot of people associate All Along
the Watchtower with Jimi Hendrix, but obviously
it's a cover of a Bob Dylan song.
And Bob Dylan loved Jimi Hendrix's
version so much that Bob Dylan changed
the way he plays the song.
And now every time he plays it, it sort of feels like it's a tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
So here's an example of a cover that came in and surpassed the original to the point where the original guy plays it like the way that the cover guy did it.
So hopefully, in closing, this sequel to last week's fiasco was better than the original so much so that this is the one that will be remembered.
Yeah.
And, you know, Bob Dylan.
Can I blow your mind?
Yes.
Can I blow your mind?
Okay.
You ready for this?
Sure.
Guns and Roses, Knocking on Heaven's Door.
Yeah, that's not.
It's a fucking Bob Dylan song.
Yeah, we know that.
Yeah.
I'm just saying, some people, Cambrio didn't know.
Yeah.
Do you know Live and Let Die?
Oh, yeah, it's a Wings.
Paul McCartney.
Wings.
I said this.
It's not like I hyped this up as a mind blow.
Keep going.
I wouldn't like this game.
You know?
I said, you know, you're ready to have your mind not blown.
Yeah, you didn't overpromise.
At all.
All right.
I'm just popping in at the Leafs score here.
But I want to say before you say the Leafs score that I have been consistent in every
single final choice that I've made in before you say the Leafs score that I have been consistent in every single final choice
that I have made
in the history
of Pandemic Friday
since that covers
that we didn't know
were covers.
I have managed to play
my number one selection
is a song
that is a cover.
Do you know
that Johnny Cash song
called Hurt?
Yes.
By the Nine Inch Nails.
Sure.
The Nine Inch Nails.
Wow.
Good try.
Do you know the song Eat It?
I think Jimi Hendrix's excellent Hey Joe is a cover.
I think Hey Joe is a cover.
That's right, yeah.
Probably all of those songs are covers probably.
I think that was like Arthur Lee in Love.
Was it not, Hey Joe?
Do you know Limp Bizkit's Faith?
Okay, am I ready for my final jam?
Do you know Orgy, Shock the Monkey?
No, actually no.
Blue Monday.
No, yeah, it's Blue Monday. Orgy's Cold Chamber? Do you know Orgy Shock the Monkey? Oh, actually, no. Blue Monday. No, yeah, it's Blue Monday.
Orgy's Cold Chamber.
Do you know, yeah.
I think it's, yeah, it's, yeah, Hero of the Day.
Okay, Hero of the Day is an original Metallica jam.
Okay, so.
Whatever.
Ready?
Yeah.
And hold on for the big reveal here at the end.
I have a special stewstone treat for you.
Oh, can't wait for that. Elvis Costello
and the Impostors
it's Elvis Costello I don't know if the Impostors.
It's Elvis Costello.
I don't know if the Impostors are involved,
but the song is called This Year's Girl.
This is the song from 1978, I believe.
But this is not the song.
Okay, so here, you're going to get mad at me again. Here we go.
All right, so I've given it a go.
You got a taste for this year's girl, right?
Jose Bautista.
So that's the Elvis Costello jam.
Okay.
But this is the song that I discovered
because it was the opening theme for season three.
No, season two.
Oh, God.
Of The Deuce.
Two songs from the same show.
This is...
We're done.
You pushed this fucking category on us
as movies
and you picked a YouTube song
and two songs from the same show.
That no one really remembers.
I almost picked the Blondie song.
I almost did three from this show.
How long was that on?
Three years.
Three years.
Fucking amazing.
This is a joke.
So, wait, let me explain. Hold on, okay? Give me a moment years. Fucking amazing. This is a joke. So wait, let me explain.
Hold on, okay?
Give me a moment.
Listen and I'll tell you a story.
It's like the mono version.
I just don't understand.
It's your category.
Like, how can you fuck up your own category three times?
This is going to be allowed.
You'll hear.
Hold on.
Okay.
So, hold on.
Listen here.
Listen for the next voice.
You better come up, big pal.
Okay, hold on. We've got one more shot.
And then we have to tease next week's episode.
Okay. Hold on. We've got one more shot. And then we have to tease next week's episode. Okay. Where's my lasagna?
Okay.
Okay.
So, the first song I played was Elvis Costello's This Year's Girl,
which is from 78, I think.
It's like his first album, I think, or his first or second album.
This version you're listening to now
is actually made for the show
which took the original Elvis Costello
and created a duet
with a lady named Natalie
Bergman from the band Wild Belle
and I love
how the voices intertwine.
So the song that I discovered
is this year's girl from Elvis Costello
but it was a special
version of it.
Oh my God.
This is like the most self-indulgent nonsense.
Like so specific to these.
Like, why did you make us do this category?
That's a real question.
This is a, okay, if you're being serious, this is a great category.
But you abused it.
I abused it once.
More than once.
This would have been allowed if it wasn't on the heels of the YouTube video.
But how can you also play two songs from the same movie?
That's okay.
Is it?
Yeah.
Like, who cares about that?
That's fine.
I mean, technically it's fine.
And they're different seasons.
Plus, this is a version of the song that isn't even the...
Right, but it's his version with a duet that's been created recently.
This is a joke.
I definitely won this one.
I would say the saving grace of this is these are great songs from this show.
Yes, you're lucky.
So that's good.
What's the Blondie song?
I can't remember the name, but it's a Blondie song I didn't know until it was the season three opening theme for The Dews.
And I fucking fell in love with that too.
Next week's topic is songs from The Dews.
The Pretenders.
Yeah. The Pretenders. Yeah.
The Pretenders.
Elvis.
I apologize to the listeners.
This is not a time and era I was very familiar with.
Friends of Stewstone.
Foss.
So it would have been like The Cars
would have been season four.
Maybe.
So if I may though,
can we tease next week's episode?
No.
Next episode we'll be on Zoom.
This is the big one.
I don't know if I want to do any more Zooms.
Listen.
I'm going to say it. I know we don't announce topics ahead of time.
I'm going to do it because I think this will get everybody excited all week.
As if anyone made it this far.
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
Well, the Leafs are in the final minutes.
No one's watching us.
Okay.
Three to one still, Leafs.
The topic next week on Pandemic Friday, hopefully in my backyard on Thursday night, is...
I better be getting an apology.
Favorite yacht rock.
Yacht rock.
Favorite yacht rock.
And Stu Stone is finally going to kick out his five favorite yacht rock jams.
I'm looking forward to it.
I cannot...
Holy fuck, it's three to two now for the Leafs with 10 minutes to go.
Well, if you have the Leafs minus one and a half, you no longer are happy.
I'm so disheartened here.
Okay, how do I finish this off?
I have to pull through.
I have to pull through for Wendell.
I got to find my art.
Go watch your YouTube video.
And that brings us to the end of our 702nd show.
You can follow me on Twitter.
