I'm Mike.
From torontomike.com and joining me for this 61st Pandemic Friday.
Is Cam Gordon.
And Stu Stone.
Welcome, guys.
That you heard, right?
Yes, we heard that one.
Yeah, this is going to be the most controversial topic of all 60, how many? 62 episodes?
This is the 61st.
Oh, I was under the impression this was show 69 for some reason.
I guess we dropped
the ball there.
He's got the drumroll. So,
Gene Valaitis from Jesse and Gene,
F-O-T-M, Gene Valaitis, threatened to
alert the authorities that
we're talking about sex jams tonight.
This is the sex show.
alert the authorities that we're talking about sex jams tonight.
This is the sex show.
This has to be like after midnight.
It is
Gina Rat.
Gina Rat?
It is Gene
comma A Rat.
I'm sorry. Maybe we're going to find
out. He's going to alert the authorities.
I just want to, because most people will hear this and not see this,
so I just want to shout out Cam Gordon's background on this Zoom right now.
Cam, tell the good people, what's your background for this Sex Jams episode?
Yeah, so I mean, you know, what better background for an episode about sex than a 75-year-old lady.
No, that's, of course, Order of Canada member Sue Johansson,
who I assume anybody who's actually listening to this episode,
we don't need to describe who she is.
Canada's foremost sex expert.
Mike, she seems like somebody... Sexpert.
Sexpert, yes, of course.
Of course.
Mike, she seems like somebody you probably kick the tires on reaching out to oh yeah let's just say she's more than an fotm
well more than a woman to me but i want to just say that i know you said 74 or 75 but you know
you're way low on that right you know how well i was gonna say when this photo was oh okay right
here i mean yeah she's like over 90 now now. Yeah, she's 90 on the nose.
And that would, so she's a,
she would be the oldest Toronto Mic'd guest
because Brian McFarlane was only 89.
You say she's 90.
I say she's a 10.
Oh, we got this stew today.
I like this stew.
Okay.
So shout out to Sue Johansson.
But because Sue Johansson,
she's connected to Degrassi
because she played Sally in that infamous episode to Degrassi because she played Sally
in that infamous episode of Degrassi.
Who amongst you would like to share
this fun fact that Andy,
Andy Pandy, a great FOTM,
shows up at almost every event we have,
every TMLX.
What fun fact did Andy drop on us
about schools out?
Why don't you do the honors?
Oh, may I?
Okay, we learned there's a very small role.
I don't think there's a speaking part here,
but one of the extras that you can see in the background
of a scene of schools out,
the Degrassi movie that we speak of often.
In fact, we're going to do like a nine-hour deep dive
into schools out at some point.
Please don't invite me to that one.
We should invite Andy to that one. What do you think?
Andy would be a fine addition.
I feel like she'd bring all sorts of knowledge.
I'm going to see if she'll do it
because she loves Degrassi more than anyone on the planet.
But this is a long-winded way of
saying Sandra Oh, the great
Canadian actress, Sandra Oh,
appears in schools out.
Yeah, well, we're going to be talking about
Ohs a bit later in this episode.
Get your O face out.
I mean, I will say this, and I tweeted this out,
and this is sort of an inner monologue type thing,
but that seems like something that would have been uncovered
and would have been like a blog TO article
like nine years ago.
It's interesting stuff like that is still hanging out
in the culture
and it's yet to really be popularized or aggregated, as it were.
Well, every year or so, we should do the same tweet, sort of Alper style.
We should just program it to like, fun facts, Sandra Oh is in school.
I don't know if you guys saw this.
And again, it sort of depends who you're following.
But trending this week on Twitter was some exchange that was like quite well known at the time.
But just resurfaced for whatever reason between Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson from, I want to say like 2002 or 2004.
I think those were during the crossfire.
I remember this.
Yeah, like I think Jon Stewart kind of destroyed him,
but for whatever reason that just started surfacing on Twitter.
Again,
I'm not really sure why,
but I see that all the time.
So when I,
you know,
we learned something like Sandra was in fucking schools out.
Right.
These two pop culture forces.
And we never knew that.
It's,
it's almost like shocking that we,
that this information is still hanging out there.
What else don't we know?
Right.
Right.
Like when I found out Dalton Pompey's dad was the cowboy on a electric
circus,
like it takes a while to come down from that high.
Like when you,
I almost feel like I'm going to break into a Bush song.
I don't want to come back down from this cloud.
Like finding out Sade is the name of the band.
Right.
Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
Is somebody maybe VP of sales,
but as somebody like got a list of these mind blows that have been unearthed
just on this program alone.
Yeah.
Well,
I mean,
that's sort of the role that our friend,
Rosie gray TO is hoping to put into the Wikipedia universe for eternity.
By the way,
did you,
did we see Dalton Pompey was in the news this week?
He signed with, I want to say, the Angels,
a minor league act.
Not giving up the dream.
Stu, do you own a Dalton Pompei baseball
card?
No,
I don't, but
cheers to Dalton.
Cheers to Dalton.
His father, the electric circus man.
Who's on my desk right now, right?
He's right here. That's actually Dalton's
dad is on this can right here.
Speaking of cans, I'm just going to take this
opportunity to grab the cold one.
Are you planning on drinking all four of those tall
boys? Well, this one's got to be skunky by
now. I don't think I should drink this guy.
I think he's a good two years old.
Oh, come on. Long weekend's coming up. Might let me start early oh i wonder what it would taste like after
two years okay because you know the whole point of great lakes beer and what i love about it is
it's fresh like look at these things are fresh and that makes it so i wouldn't know i mean it's
been so long since uh hey you're basically drinking cam that's our beer that he's drinking
cam you realize well ironically it's been two years since we've received payment
for what we're doing here.
Every single week.
61 weeks and he's drinking our beer.
He's eating our pasta.
Assholes.
He's taking our Ridley Funeral Home discount plots.
What do you think of the new sign?
Do you see it?
I'm pointing to it right now.
Do you see it?
A funeral.
That's a Ridley Funeral Home. The thing they put on the
cars when you're in a procession, a funeral procession.
Yeah, a funeral for a friend.
Brad dropped it off yesterday from
Ridley Funeral Home. So shout out to Ridley Funeral Home.
You guys are assholes because
just yesterday, listen to me,
just yesterday,
102.1... Alright, wait a minute. You're saying
we're assholes. Yeah.
Am and I are assholes? Right. Got it. Got it. Hang up here. I'm Wait a minute. You're saying we're assholes. Yeah. Am and I are assholes?
Right.
Right.
Got it.
Got it.
Because yesterday.
Hang up here.
I'm going to leave.
Yesterday, 102.1 Morning, The Edge Morning Show man, Jay Brody, was in my backyard along
with Roddy Colmer.
And just an hour before their arrival, the Palma Pasta truck showed up with
frozen lasagnas
for the guests.
I saw the photo. I saw the
tree. Right.
They got their Great Lakes beer.
They got their Palma Pasta. They got
their Toronto Mike stickers
from Sticker U.
They got hand sanitizer from Ridley Funeral Home.
The only thing I didn't get them was a new home
in Mimico for Mimico Mike, but we took
care of them. Isn't that a contest that we're going
to be doing, the 100th caller? It could have
been you guys. I'm saying the same deal
could have been arranged for right
now. Why aren't you guys in my backyard right now?
The offer wasn't extended
and the lockdown had
been extended, so it's a combination of the two.
Media exemption.
It's illegal for one thing.
Speaking of backyard episodes,
Kim,
did you,
are you caught up or do you just heard the,
you heard the Mark Weisblot?
I heard the Mark Weisblot.
I heard,
and I heard probably 60% of miles Godwin.
Good one.
Good one.
God.
Him too.
But yes, that the, the 1236 marathon,
I feel like it was even longer than normal.
It was like the exact same length
as the previous 1236 episode,
like to the minute.
Yeah, but fine, fine effort
from both you guys.
Probably my favorite.
And Mike, I think you mentioned this,
your sort of sheer indignation at
the posh spice suzanne rogers what was that from and that must have been like the social or like a
genie becker city line or something city line yeah who's the host of city line do you remember
her name tracy moore yes so that's tracy moore and the whole idea like the whole premise that
that's a rogers owned station so literally
tracy's like talking to like her like the biggest boss there is this is the you know the family that
owns rogers and this whole like posh and this the whole thing nauseated me and i really just like
the like it ties into our theme a little bit today but very uh masturbatory masturbatory
of like just that
conversation. What were they even fucking talking about?
Give me a break.
I know, and I purposely left it on the
cutting room floor, which I do with a lot
of Weisblot stuff, because I can't go
four or five hours.
I'm ready to go to the Ridley Funeral
Home Memorial section, which I quite
enjoy. Not that they died, but
I like to remember the people
who who lived and uh he picked it up off the cutting room floor and he shone a light on it
and i had to play it and i had to anyway you heard it yeah i mean it was it was a big topic but and
also like i missed that lloyd price passed away so that that was actually a learning i did somehow
missed that so well that's the whole idea to to educate you but i uh at the end of that
miles goodwin episode i ask him the question which is did you get the call to appear on tears are not
enough i ask it at the end and sure he answers it very honestly yeah and was he ever in consideration
was he jealous uh he's got a good chip on his shoulder uh that the industry uh overlooks
april wine and their contribution to music in this country and he's a still a bit ticked he
never won an actual juno yeah it it is wild because i mean you alluded to this you think
of all their singles i mean they're right i i do wonder they're live they're also their live show
one of the best live performances in the history of the Whiskey A Go-Go parking lot in Maple, Ontario.
Really, a fantastic show, a fantastic performance.
I'm not kidding.
How dare you?
No, I think you're being serious.
How dare me? It was great.
It was like there was a good atmosphere.
There was hot dogs.
Families.
Great.
Plus, like, toddlers walking around.
Okay, so, quickly, quick note here is that I talked with,
I texted back and forth with Doodoo the Clown this week.
Oh, snap.
Seems very nice via text.
He's agreed we have a date and a time for him to zoom into Toronto Mic'd.
In full regalia?
Yes, he's going to have full makeup on.
Wow, holy S.
We should do a reenactment
of when he saved that poor lady
from the mugger.
You better ask him about that.
Well, I'm going to,
obviously before his appearance,
which is in early June,
so we have some time,
I'm going to have all my research done
and it's going to be awesome.
Quick somber note
before we lighten things up
with our first sex jam.
I just want to, I think I speak on behalf of everyone
that's here on the Pandemic Friday team,
our sincere condolences to FOTM Bob Ouellette
on the passing of his father last week.
Bob was our special guest for the tribute to Shock G
that we did a few weeks ago,
and he suffered this great loss. So I just want to
let, you know, FOTM Bob
will let know that we're thinking of him.
Absolutely. And we're
all a family here, you know,
as much as we call each other assholes sometimes,
you know, it's out of
love. I don't think we ever called Bob
an asshole though. No, he's a sweetheart.
He's not an asshole.
Far from it. You know who else is not an asshole?
I agree with everything that Mike
and most of what Cam said except that
asshole part. Bob, you're not an asshole.
No. You're a great guy and
obviously we send our love.
Sex jams. I know it's difficult
to segue off that. I feel like Casey Kasem.
That's a hard pivot.
It's a hard pivot. But
I'm going to give the first sex jam to
a very special guest. And again, for
the listenership, Cam and Stu have no
idea whose face is about to appear. I love
this moment, like this anticipation.
I'm wringing my hands. I have to admit, I
love this too. Like once we started
doing it with Lorne Honigman, I think
I'm going to do it for the rest of the run of this
program, to be quite honest with you. Could be
anybody. You don't know who's going to be here to kick out the
first sex jam,
but let's see whose face we see.
Whoa.
Okay, now this is getting
legit. Oh my god.
Huge. Hi, guys.
Hi, Dana. Can you hear me sure wow
oh now we have to like behave like hold on it's sort of different when like hebsie's here
now we have some real talent i'm having some i'm having some airpods issues what else is new
hi mike dana thanks so much for doing this.
Host of On the DL, a fantastic podcast.
Everybody should be subscribed to and everybody should listen.
Stu, the mic is yours.
Would you like to say anything? I can't believe it.
This is such a great treat.
Obviously, we're such big fans.
To have you here talking sex with us is, I mean, that's
bucket list right there. I know Cam
had pushed hard for this
moment to happen and I'm very
excited. So to speak, so to speak.
So to speak, my friend. So to speak.
There's going to be so much innuendo
in this show, I'm sure.
Well, you're talking about
if not one of my
favorite female artists. Oh artists but don't disclose
it yet because i'll play it and then we can oh oh this is still the reveal here yeah i wanted to
see their faces when dana fucking levinson showed up in the zoom chat like i mean are you kidding me
this is surreal how are you i'm great i. I'm always so much better when I see Mike.
He makes my day.
Oh, my God.
I'm so happy to see you guys, too.
Of course.
Really?
He's all right.
I've been missing him.
What do you guys think of my T-shirt?
I like it.
Do I get one?
Love it.
So right now, this is the only one that exists.
But Dana, I know you're a little young, Dana, to remember this.
But do you remember when Toronto Tees were all the rage in this?
I know you worked for CFTO. But City TV was looking but you remember when Toronto Tees were all the rage in this? I know you worked for CFTO,
but City TV was looking for people in their
Toronto Tees, and then they'd say,
hey, you win a prize because you're wearing your Toronto Tees.
You remember this? I remember that.
You'd get like a pizza pizza
coupon. Something like that. And I think
Ziggy Lawrence, F-O-T-M, Ziggy.
I think CFTR also with that bumper
sticker, if you had it on your car. Yeah, but that's
different. Yes, you're right. But the Toronto
Tees was the City TV thing. And I'm
thinking of selling...
Dana, you won't have to pay for this. Don't worry.
But I'm thinking of selling Toronto Mike
t-shirts. I just wondered what you guys thought.
First AWOL in the history of Toronto Mike.
Okay.
Okay, I'll get you.
Toronto Mike merch.
It's awesome. Now we have dana for a short while
here so i'm gonna kick out her jam so i'm gonna start playing it then i'll bring it down and i'll
kind of give you the uh remember we're talking about sex people well that's we can't wait to
hear you talk about something that you talk about on the dl all the time yeah really is it is it
like sexy talk all the time is it really wow i mean it like sexy talk? All the time.
Is it really?
Wow.
I mean, it depends on the topic.
If it doesn't fit, we're not talking sexy time.
But there's nothing we don't talk about and there's nothing we don't say out loud.
And often sex and sex-related issues, people don't like to talk about out loud, but we do on the DL.
And it used to not be like that.
Obviously, you're a broadcaster with uh tons of uh on-air experience sex was a taboo thing for you in
your career uh you weren't allowed to talk about that and now you are well i mean i was i wasn't
allowed to talk about it on air or on any of my social media channels but um there was a lot of
stuff i wasn't allowed to talk about now i am the executive
executive producer of my own life and my own show and i can talk about whatever the fuck i want
yeah just see her dana like drop an f-bomb like that like i know my kids how many times i've
dropped the f-bomb they're like you used to be so refined since Since you started hanging around Mike Boone.
Yeah, he wears a lot.
Yeah.
He called Stu and I a-holes before you showed up.
Why?
Yeah, you see Spicy,
that t-shirt's too tight.
Because they're not data.
Why are you calling them a-holes?
What's wrong?
I'll answer that for you, Mike.
I got this sort of like false bravado.
He's swinging a little bit heavier
because he knew that you were going to be coming on the show so he had the extra confidence uh you
know it's been a while i don't know if you know this but mike had his uh swimming pool drained
so to speak so for him to have sort of these like sort of manly type of moments uh you know
we we allow it from time he's he's bragging about all the pomegranate pasta he's got in his freezer.
I think that's innuendo.
It's gross.
Are you going to send me another lasagna?
Dana.
Oh, you're sending her lasagnas?
No, I didn't.
He'll bike it over.
We're going to play this jam now because I can't wait to hear you
talk about this artist.
When you come to my backyard this summer to kick out the jams,
wow,
I'm going to have a lasagna for you.
Dana brings you like bagels and wine from what I recall.
And pillows.
And pushy cushions.
Yeah.
By the way,
I was the one that benefited from that,
just so you know.
I appreciate it.
That's right.
What a moment.
Okay.
We got to get to this jam though.
So let's listen up to this first sex music.
Dana.
Talk about rough trade.
Romance.
What?
Put cream in your jeans.
50 shades of Dana.
I love this data.
I'll be your mistress tonight.
I'd like to put you in a trance.
If I take you from behind
Push myself into your mind
When you used to expect it
Oh, Dana, it's getting hot in here.
Holy smokes.
Okay.
It is so good.
I'm going to turn off my camera for a couple seconds.
Holy smokes.
Okay, I'm back.
I'm back.
That didn't take long.
I'm quick.
I'm quick.
Yes, quick, quick drama. Okay. We've heard. I'm quick. Yes, quick, quick drama.
Okay.
Dana, this is, yeah, too many jokes.
Okay.
Erotica by Madonna.
Tell us why you love this song.
Yeah, please.
I love this song for so many reasons.
One is because it's Madonna.
That's just first and foremost.
She's one of my faves.
And it was at a time, you know know 1992 is when she dropped the song and I was a lot younger and it was really one of the first times that yeah that uh an artist gave young females permission
to be sexual like really sexual and not sexual like
with the door closed and with your partner. It was like an awakening for us. It was like,
oh my God, someone is actually saying what we feel when we're having sex or that we are super
sexual. And it's not, you know, it was just, it was like the first time.
That was one part of it.
The other part of it was that it was,
it's like such a sexy song.
And like when you hear it, even now it's like, you know,
you get a little hot, bothered a little,
and it's a good vibe.
I loved it.
A little squirmy.
I've always felt like it's the sequel to Justify My Love.
Well, it's right that it is, in a way.
And it coincides with her sex book, which, of course, I couldn't buy because I was living in my parents' house at the time.
And not that they would have shunned it, but it was kind of like one of those things like,
I'm not buying a coffee table sex book with Madonna naked everywhere and putting it out in my parents' house.
Like on the coffee table.
Right.
Tough luck.
But I love that book.
I think we learned about Justify My Love.
Lenny Kravitz was involved, like on a very early pandemic.
Like he wrote it or co-wrote it.
Yeah.
And it's a public enemy.
The book had like naked pictures of vanilla ice in it didn't it
I did
yeah
he was in like sexually suggestive photos
with her in that book if I'm not mistaken
yeah I think Warren Beatty wearing nothing
but like socks and a smile
you're right
and it takes me back a long time
so that I mean I just I love the whole album
I think it was completely
brilliant she got a lot of slack for that that was kind of like back a long time so that i mean i just i love the whole album i think it was completely brilliant
um she got a lot of slack for that that was kind of like i mean she got a lot of slack for
everything but that was like really it i mean she really came out she always came out i remember
going to see madonna in concert as a young impressionable young man uh it was at the sky dome
and it was blonde ambition tour 1990 Tour. Oh, so good.
1990.
Technotronic was the opening act, if I'm not mistaken.
Whoa.
Whoa.
But she had this one moment in the show,
which is obviously covered in her film,
that she had like a documentary with Warren Beatty and all that stuff.
And Truth or Dare, I think it's called.
She's in the bed and she's doing all sorts of stuff and it's like
i was like maybe 12 or 30 at the time and i was like in the sixth row i was pretty close to the
to the bed let's put it that way and it was just like it's similar to the reaction when dana showed
up on the zoom here as the surprise it was a very similar sort of like, wow. Oh, come on. Madonna's simulating masturbating.
I mean, obviously, yeah.
Madonna, it was pretty risque for the time.
And now it's like, you know, the songs that they have are like wet ass.
I know.
It's a whole.
You know what?
At least she was like.
Subtle.
Well, I wouldn't say she was subtle, but she was at least like playing, you know, more subtle.
She was the queen before she was even the queen.
You know what I mean?
Like she was the queen before.
Like a virgin.
Like, yeah.
Did you say like a virgin?
Oh, yeah.
Borderline material girl.
She was she was the queen.
Oh, yeah. Borderline material girl. She was, she was the queen,
but it really was her.
It was the idea that she represented women,
young and old have, you know, we are just as sexual as men and she was,
and this song says it,
it says all the things that she wanted the person she was experiencing sex
with to do to her body and what she wanted to do to their body yeah i would say that madonna had
definitely she used her sexuality as a as a weapon in a way to like sort of you know tear down walls
and limitations and you know men were the ones that were doing sexually
egregious material and here she was and people weren't looking at her like you know calling her
names and whatnot she it was in a power it was done in an empowerment sort of way where she was
sort of respected for for doing it i mean i don't know if that was the whole run that she was
respected for doing it but during this specific time between, you know,
Vogue and like a virgin and this erotica stuff, she, she,
she was leading the charge for sexual empowerment for women. Am I wrong?
No, you're right. And I think I,
I have always said there's nothing wrong with saying to women,
use your power. And if that's part of your power, then use it.
It doesn't matter if you're using it in a feminine way or in a masculine way, right? If you're a woman and you are sexual and you need to
be sexual, then use it. And she was saying, do it and do it to me and let me do it to you.
And that was okay. And being young, I was like, oh my God god finally someone is saying that and it was just it was just
like life-changing for me well I I like you would also so there's all that but you think you'd also
hear her on like CHFI too like she could turn it on and turn it off and you know two six months
later she put a single like you know this used to be my playground or something.
That's the farthest from that.
And then she can swing back and get into all sort of the more risque step too.
Very few artists can pull that off.
It's remarkable just the longevity she had.
Cam also failing to mention that erotic Madonna song,
one of his go-to karaoke jams back in the day.
Cam used to get up
and sing it. He did it pretty
good, too. I mean, sex is a weapon.
I mean, I commented that.
But all sex songs
are like that, right? She just happened to be
one of the first females to
do it and do it well. But I
appreciate what you're saying, Cam, about how
she really has so many
different sides and she really plays into all of her talent and she can just turn one thing on, one thing off, you know, at any given time.
Like I've heard her on I'm sure you've heard her interviewed by Howard Stern.
I mean, it's so brilliant.
And I mean, she is she's a genius.
Like she really is a real genius.
She's a genius.
She really is a real genius.
And I just have a great appreciation for music and for artists,
but particularly Madonna, because I feel that she was part of my childhood,
and then she became part of my adulthood, and she continues to still inspire me.
And I love that she's 62 now.
Yeah, she's 62, 64, 62, I forget. that she's she's 62 now yeah she's 62 64 62 i forget um and she's
still super sexual i don't care what anyone says about her facelifts and her pulls and her tugs
whatever you checked out her arms her british accent yeah like all that stuff kind of yes that
is a turnoff when she gets up on stage and she moves stop it like really stop it yeah it's a big big fucking
deal i will tell you my number one thing on my bucket list like anybody my like number one item
on my bucket list guess what it is to uh hang out with donna well kind hanging out. I think you want Madonna on the DL.
Well, that too. But that came later.
But this is my like... I actually
thought that
somehow...
I've actually fantasized about this. No, it's not
having sex with Madonna. Don't get excited.
I've literally like...
I've almost tried to manage.
No!
That was Stu. That was Stu. That wasn't me. I just want to to manage it. No! That was Stu.
That was Stu. That wasn't me. I just want to point that out.
Okay, here's my
number one on my bucket list.
Number one item. I want to dance on stage
with Madonna.
Wow.
That's sweet.
What song would you choose?
It's your number one.
Number one fantasy in your life number one
bug list to dance on stage with madonna i feel like i feel like that's it dude that's achievable
though i feel like that's yeah it is achievable you think you like to dance on stage with madonna
i think it could happen i mean with people maybe she does like a vegas residency and she's does
you know you're on the you know you're you get in there there's like a Vegas residency and she's does, you know, you're on the,
you know, you're, you get in there.
There's like an audience member up for like a thing and you go up.
You know what?
She always brings an audience member up, but it's usually not a female.
It's usually a younger male in the audience.
Do you know what my, my name actually is?
My, my, my given name is Dana, but what people call me.
Medina?
Correct.
Medina.
Wow.
That's a mind blow.
I see that.
That's a mind blow?
Did you used to dress as Medina for Halloween?
No, I didn't need to dress up for Halloween as that
because that's who I am.
No, my hair was as high as it could be be I had my jean jacket and my mini skirt and my
fishnet stockings and I was it yeah my Mike's Mike still has a few uh cone-shaped bras from
back in the day what's wrong with cone-shaped bras nothing Dana in my humble opinion, Dana, I think you're the Madonna of podcasting.
Oh, there you go.
Look at this. This is why, you know,
this is why I just love him so much.
He just fills me up. He calls me
Dana fucking Levinson. He never even refers
to me as Dana Levinson, but you know, Mike, you should be
calling me Medina.
Medina?
Well, everyone calls me that. Okay, well,
you just, I only learned that right now. Maybe
I'll adjust my... What?
What are you talking about? You knew that.
To me, you're Dana fucking Levinson. If that's
a problem, let me know. Take it off with
HR. I do like that, too,
though. Mike's nickname for you is pretty
good.
I think that's really nice of you,
but if you guys can try to make that happen for me,
I'd be really grateful. Maybe Eric Alper? know yeah I don't know if you can do that I don't think
he reaches that high okay so Dana big decision time for you uh you can either disappear but if
you're gonna do that I want a photo first or you can linger and I'm gonna kick out Cam's first sex
jam now it's up 100% up to you.
We'll take a picture. I'll see what the sex jam is. Cam, are you taking this photo?
We should make bets whether she's going to
bail on Cam's first jam.
My money's on she's gone by the end of this photo.
I'm trying to think what...
Okay. Countdown from
three. So three, two,
one.
How's that? I think we got it. Oh my god. Dana, what a one. How's that?
I think we got it.
Oh my God, Dana, what a start.
You guys are so great.
And I can't wait to have you in the backyard
to kick out the jams when I can get you your beer
and your lasagna and everything.
I just want to let everyone know though,
on the DL, you can subscribe to it right now.
And we dropped a new episode this morning
with Shale Wagman, who is
compared to Mikhail...
I almost said Mikhail Gorbachev,
but no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, darling. Baryshnikov.
Baryshnikov, of course.
The ballet dancer.
Ballerino? Ballerino.
Shale Wagman.
Listen to the episode, because I learned so much.
What a prodigy uh what a prodigy
yeah what a prodigy shale is wow yeah we talked about stuff that people don't talk about out loud
you have to listen to it so listen to that amazing madonna i know you love madonna thank
you so much for that cam any words before i kick out your first jam well I'll say this I mean I know we're talking about these are sex
songs but you know
I feel like
the best sex is when there's love
so like a lot of the best sex
songs are also about love
which I think we'd agree
are you bringing up
Lionel Richie or like
Endless Love
because I think like love
should be embraced.
Love should not be taken
for granted and certainly
songs about love
should not be taken for granted.
And that's what this first song is. Mike, you can play
the music. Ba-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng I'm still in love with you, I'm still in love with you
Bounce, come on, bounce, bounce, come on, bounce
Certainly always in control, you know what I'm saying?
I slam the door when I come into the bedroom
Cause I'm the king of the castle
Turn me on, turn me loose
Try to hit it, it's a hassle
Come get some of this, don't forget the innuendo
Play me like Nintendo, never ever let go
Keep it so loud, you may hit him like crescendo
Don't free me, I'm so latido
Come baby come, baby baby come come
Come baby come, baby baby come come
Well you gotta give me lovin' and you gotta give me some Well you gotta give me lovin' and you gotta give me some You see that?
We just got an MF lurking in the background.
I was on the wrong screen can you
tell me to come back you see that oh kind of yeah it's kind of creepy yeah she's doing kind of uh
you put on k7 it's like the pied piper yeah for sure and like i said what my heart is bursting
with love from that song cam yeah i mean i don't know what to do with myself. I mean, so many, you know, daughters and their fathers, their first dance at their weddings.
It's a K7.
What a great song.
Now, just before we start, ironically, this song could have actually been a fit for two recent Pandemic Fridays episodes.
We had Baseball Jams, Swing Bada Bada Swing.
The name of this album was actually Swing Badder Swing or something
Also hip hop
I feel like this would have been a hip hop
Song
I think so
But is it top 20?
Probably
Reached number 18 in the US
Number 3 in the UK
Yeah the album was called Swing Badder Swing
Now this was a bit of a mind blow I didn't realize K7 was a guy Not a band in the U S number three in the UK. Um, yeah, the album was called swing batter swing.
Now this was a bit of a mind blow.
I didn't realize K seven was a guy,
not a band.
Did we know that?
I thought it was a band.
Yeah.
Because L seven is a band.
Yeah.
I think I got confused. Cause it's kind of same generation,
very different sound obviously.
Um,
but no K seven is a born Lewis sharp.
Um, in 1966, he's a an american musician born in uh
ponce puerto rico okay now do we know who else is from ponce puerto rico roberto alomar yeah somebody was just in the news when you talk about about sex songs, maybe Roberto Alomar's favorite sex songs
would not be appropriate given his recent news cycles,
as well as a slew of other major league players,
Carlos Correa, former Expo Javier Vasquez,
former Blue Jay catcher Benito Santiago,
and someone else I think we mentioned recently,
Otto Valens.
Suado.
Otto the Suado.
What does that have to do with sex songs?
Nothing, Cam.
This is what I was saying.
We're getting to the point here.
Dean is new here.
Excuse her.
She's new here.
Now, Larry Flick.
Do we know who Larry Flick is?
The People versus Larry Flick.
No, Larry Flick was a Billboard writer,
and his comments on this song was,
do not even try to sit out this thick and chewy hip hop throw down.
It's next to impossible.
So Larry Thicke was a big fan of Come Baby Come.
I'm not going to go into Dana or Stu.
Maybe you have some thoughts about the innuendo there.
Come Baby Come.
I mean, it's not even innuendo, it's
perhaps just obvious
Yeah
Hey, Canada Kev is wondering
it's K7, right?
He's wondering if it's, is that K-Y?
No, like they
just kind of inverted the K-Y
I'll say yes, it is
Sure
That's not true Why not? Now,
K7's a bit of a one-hit wonder.
From what I dug up,
his next biggest hit may have been
a cover of Heidi Ho,
the old
Cat Calloway jam.
That makes sense, because he's got that
call-and-answer kind of thing.
I can sort of see that.
Which actually showed up on the soundtrack for one stew there you go good one yeah so that was from the mask soundtrack
okay with jim carrey amongst other artists this is quite an eclectic soundtrack so we got fishbone
we got tony tony tony uh the brian setzer orchestra and somebody that I think a lot of women find very sexy.
Harry Connick Jr.
Back in the day.
Or like Chris Isaac was too edgy so you're like in the Harry Connick Jr.
I don't think Harry Connick Jr. does it
for Dana. That was an underwhelming response.
You know who I mean?
I mean, I wouldn't kick him out of bed.
Prince?
Oh, Prince.
If we don't hear any Prince tonight, I'll be pretty surprised.
He was pretty sexy.
Prince actually has a song that's perfect for Cam and MF.
Because Prince has sexy MF.
That's right.
Yeah.
Talk about double entendre.
You know what? I should have picked Purple Rain.
Well, that was like
every girl's like sex song
when she got into stuff.
Did I just say that out loud?
What kind of stuff?
This has been
so fun.
Thank you for having
me. This has been great. Thank you,
Dana. You were amazing.
I love chatting with you guys.
Good to see you.
Goodbye, Medina.
Somebody on the live chat
at live.toronto mic felt that Stu
was behaving himself. I know Dana's still here.
I was going to say this after you left, but Stu
was on his best behavior because
Dana was here.
Oh, thank God. Jesus.
Oh, it was Quebec Irish
boy wrote. I mean, holy shit.
It's nice seeing Stu so
polite and almost shy with
Dana. Oh, no. Come on.
Oh, my God. The look on Stu's face
for the first two minutes was
just... I'd call it orgasmic, given the look on Stu's face for the first two minutes was just...
I'd call it orgasmic, given the topic of today's episode.
It's a shame that she had to hear
Cam's song first, because obviously
she left, because I had something
teed up that would have just kept her here, but...
She was bobbing her head.
She was into it. Come on. Cam, did you finish
all your K7 fun facts?
Yeah, there wasn't really
that much about this guy.
But the main thing is
it's a guy, not a band.
Interesting.
Okay, we're off to a roaring start.
We've had Madonna.
We had K7.
Speaking of Madonna,
here's another megastar
from the 1980s.
It's my turn.
Here we go. This is actually like the first actual good sex jam that's been played so far.
I had to fight Stu to get it. Okay. Okay, George.
George Michael, I Want Your Sex,
parts one and two, by the way.
This is the album cut.
Who do you think he sounded like in that part?
Do you guys notice, now that we listen back,
how much he sounds like Prince?
No. Essentially, not that we listen back, how much he sounds like Prince? No.
Like, essentially, not that you could sound like Prince,
but that he's doing a Prince there.
No.
I totally agree with you, Mike.
I never liked this one.
Oh, no, we'll get into that.
Okay, so I'll do some fun facts.
One is that George Michael...
Can I just get the automatic fun facts
just off the table right now?
Sure.
Sex is natural.
Sex is fun.
Sex is...
That's it.
Right, because it was...
Even though some people,
like the BBC,
restricted this video
because they felt it might
promote promiscuity.
In fact, as you said there of that line,
this song is a pro-monogamy song.
This song is about exploring monogamy.
It's all over the video.
His girlfriend at the time, Kathy Jung,
is in the video, and he writes on her back,
monogamy and all this, explore monogamy.
That's what it's about.
But back to the Prince thing real quick.
Do you and Monica ever get into stuff stuff like that or what how's that work so he he himself
george michael i'm referring to was so concerned that he sounded too much like prince he completely
distanced himself from this song he never performed it live after the faith tour he didn't touch it
again in fact there was a recent retrospective
that he put out before he passed away, like
25 years
anthology or something. And this song is
not even there because he
was embarrassed of how much he was
ripping off Prince.
I don't hear it. I really don't hear it.
The part
is when he goes kind of like
imitating almost like a woman's voice and he goes
in this high pitch like persona yeah prince was doing that quite a bit at the time but this is
this is what he thought but i have some more fun facts invented falsetto prince was doing it at
the time right so this song came out in 1987 uh it peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100
it was the third hit from
ready for this the first time this comes out
it's not coming off Faith
this song can anybody name the movie soundtrack
that this song was on
oh uh
I was just going to say like 8 and a half weeks
but I feel like that was
16 Candles
all good guesses.
This is actually the third hit to come off
the soundtrack for Beverly
Hills Cop 2.
Oh, wow.
Come on!
So
it was so well received by the public
that they decided to release it as
the first single from the upcoming
album Faith, which by the way is a
playthrough. I think every fucking song on that album
is either a hit
or it's a good album.
I feel like we should have led with this song. This seems like a song
Deanna would have been in her wheelhouse.
Nah, she's in like the
Whips and Chains, Madonna.
She should have kicked out
Rihanna's S&M
or something like that, I feel.
Medina.
So that line, and again, this is the long version, so at some point.
Sorry, what line?
Come on.
So I've been dropping the come on.
I've been dropping that on my kids for 19 years.
Like I actually dropped that on the reg.
Yeah.
Come on.
Do you do it more often than if you're hungry,
go make something to eat?
Yes.
And if you're dirty, then go take a bath.
There you go.
You tell them.
Shout out to Bob Ouellette.
Shout out to the five-year-old.
Okay.
I want to shout out some FOTMs in the live
chat here. So I want to shout out Midtown
Gord, who just arrived, and he's happy to see
Sue Johansson is here.
Michael Lang.
Michael Lang.
Monica writes
Matt...
Monica writes Matt Layden's tweets
on Mike's back. Okay, that's
good. I might need a screen cap for that.
That's a good line.
Who's this?
Langer also says his video for Freedom 90 was very memorable.
Well, you know, of course,
that's not the only place she writes Matt Layden's tweets.
She also writes Matt Layden's tweets.
Hey, no.
Thanks, Cambrio.
Beck, great FOTM.
Beck gave this three hearts and she says
love me some george oh baby i'm making a lot of come on he uh he died on christmas day yes am i
wrong yes he did okay because i yeah i remember being at the i think we talked about this like
being at the table my sister like announcing it to the gordon family like george michael's dead
it was like well elvis came on this program shortly thereafter and bald like a baby.
Like,
uh,
he,
he was really affected by George Michael's death.
Come on.
I want to say hello to hold on.
My page jumped.
Oh,
leave a Fumka.
Uh,
I thought I was kissing Dana's ass.
I really just was being playful.
Oh,
no,
I felt it. I was just was being playful. I felt it.
I was just being playful.
Is MF laughing at me?
I want to say...
A little bit.
Cambrio says,
Stu was in the front row of all the Madonna shows.
Is that true?
Come on!
And he points out that Madonna made out with Drake.
That's, I don't know.
Where? When? I don't know. Camb with Drake That's I don't know Where? When?
I don't know Cambrio reports So I don't know
I will say this about this song
I can specifically remember
Two different
Things whenever they would show up on the TV
I would actually leave the room as a kid
Because I was so embarrassed to be there with my dad
One was this video
The second was every time
a ravishing Rick Rude would come to the ring
and do the whole
shut the
southern sweat hogs
and take off my robe.
It's for all you
fat, ugly,
out of shape southern sweat hogs.
We're in part two of the song because there's actually
three parts to I Want Your Sex. And now we're in part two of the song because there's actually three parts to I Want Your Sex
and now we're in part two here
but I'm sorry
to interrupt you there
but I do want to say
hi to Moose Grumpy
who's on the live chat
hello Moose Grumpy
come on
Jokeroo
who wants his
he's already excited
about his Toronto Mike
t-shirts
so stay tuned
I'll tell you how to get
your Toronto Mike tee
and if I bike around the city
and I see you wearing
your Toronto Mike tee
good things are
going to happen.
We got a fist bump.
Right. Things are going to happen. And
who else?
A lot of good people here on the live chat here.
Okay.
I jumped too far back.
It's like a good crowd today.
Oh, Robbie J.
chimed in. He said, i can't find my invite i think
robbie j wants to be the special guest but now that i said that he can never be the special guest
because you'll be thinking it might be robbie j that's right no like you're gonna like you're
really bringing between the last two dane and etsy i mean wow i mean we've had some they've
all been awesome it all started with la Lauren Honigman. Bingo Bob.
Well, Bingo Bob wasn't even that, now in hindsight. He was the Shock G
memorial provider.
Huge, huge.
Stu, while George
Michael wraps up, because he's wrapping up now, why don't
you set up your first jam?
Are you there?
I'm not interested.
I'm waiting for you to...
I don't talk over the end of your song.
Actually, it was going to be your song too.
Well, I mean, now it's your pick.
So I'm waiting for the Kiki Come On just like you are.
We missed it.
I think it was earlier.
You blew it.
Kiki, Kiki, Kiki, Kiki, come on.
Is MF in the room? I don't need her on camera, but can she see you? it, kick it, come on. All right, Cam, is MF in the room?
I don't need her on camera, but can she see you?
No, I'm on my front.
I don't know if you can tell, like, I'm outside now.
I heard birds.
Cam, can you stand up?
Oh, you want to see?
Like, should I turn sideways?
No, you just stand up.
But can you still hear us?
Well, you're going to have to hear us. This is not going to work.
He took off his headphones.
You got to have your headphones so you can hear us.
I need you to keep your headphones on so you can hear.
It's not that long.
Oh, it's not?
Can you hear me?
Okay, so you're standing up and you can hear, right?
Okay, so I want you to just have a listen to the song
and I want you to think about Rick Rude.
Think about Rick Rude, okay?
And I'm going to play the song and see if anything happens to you here
because here's my sex jam. Everybody who's watching live, watch song and see if anything happens to you here, because here's my sex jam.
Everybody who's watching live, watch Cam and see if something happens here.
I don't know. I figured he would be dancing Remember when Jake the Snake pulled his pants off because he had the airbrushed white?
Cheryl Roberts?
Dastardly.
Dang it.
Dang it, they're hot here. Just because you guys thought, like, how can you beat George Michael?
I want your sex.
Well, this is how you do it.
They come with some pony by Ginuwine.
Wow.
What a jam.
Was that Boner Watch?
Because Ian Service says he's driving.
He's having trouble watching the Boner Watch.
Yeah, he's a stick chef.
Ginuwine, come ride the pony, guys.
It's kind of shocking because this song feels like it's this culturally sort of crossover song
that everybody kind of knows this song.
You would think everybody knows this song, and it's a pretty sexy song.
And it's synonymous probably with bachelor parties or bachelorette parties or quinceañeras.
Like pub night at the campus pub yeah pub night uh you
know the champagne room yeah you're watching like a comedy movie like some sexually charged comedy
this song might play when like a guy is doing like you know when like kevin james is being sexy or
something totally uh i mean listen guys this is a pretty sexy song,
but it would surprise you maybe to know that it,
well, what number do you think this song went to on the charts?
Let's just go there.
The way you, Bill, set that up, I'm going to say 44.
I'd say like 71.
Well, I didn't build it up very well then
It went to number 6
Yeah, you didn't, Bill
You made it sound like this thing didn't turn for that
I just thought it was a number 1 song
Oh, really? Okay
Yeah, I thought this was like a for sure number
Well, it was number 1 on the R&B hip hop chart for forever
And Double D, who's on the live chat
Says it was the number 1 stripper song
Yeah, I mean, this song was everywhere.
And of course this is a song that introduced us to a young,
talented producer who would go on to have quite a prolific career,
a gentleman by the name of Timbaland.
This was his debut success breakthrough production.
Big one.
And of course he goes on from here to do timberland and magoo
alia missy elliott justin timberlake uh i think he worked with uh uh chris cornell
yeah he has had a very prolific career timberland has and uh his unique sort of production he's one
of these guys you hear a track you know it's a timberland song and i think you know because it has like these different sounds and baby laughing and just you
know he uses kind of different kind of stuff but this is uh this is a great song i'm a sexual
masterpiece and go ahead a little bit in the song like the baby like yeah that's that like a sign
that was like a sign off from like gerber or like hasbro
or something am i matching that maybe like you know like sega they used to be the commercials
and like we're at the end of it like sega yeah like i thought it was like something like that
for like hasbro or like i'm not sure i will say that uh two films that i know cam has seen
uh this song has appeared in.
One of them, of course, Magic Mike.
And it does sequel Magic Mike XXL.
I saw one of them on a plane.
But the 1997 film, which launched the career of Jamie Foxx into the stratosphere.
Booty Call, if you remember Booty Call.
Booty Call, sure.
Oh, yeah.
There you go guys my first entry is pony by genuine and dana if she would have stuck around i think she would have really
lit up uh hearing this song i think she would have liked it even more than the song that she played
earlier today there was a little bit of a pool that was started. I don't know who picked what, but how early would they hear Pony tonight?
That was one of the...
Well, it almost didn't go because two songs that I selected were selected by others.
So it was like an alternate for me to put Pony on.
So I actually was quite shocked that Pony was available.
for me to put pony on.
So I actually was quite shocked that pony was available and I was astounded and happy that it wouldn't get Hanson because it is such a,
a sexy song.
Totally.
That's interesting.
Cause one of my choices,
someone else chose it as well.
So it looks like there's a lot of,
you know,
inter,
you know,
it's like an orgy of,
you know,
kind of a tri tri bait gimmick here.
Every cock for itself
sure yeah that works
too Cameron any words
before your second sex jam
um
no but this is an interesting
track because this was sort of an artist
I never think of at all and then
go back and look at their chart
performance and this song too is a massive
hit it's like oh yeah them
so yeah there's a little intro your body full moon in the city
and the night was young
I was hungry for love I was hungry for love
I was hungry for fun
I was hunting you down
And I was the bait
When I saw you there
I didn't need to hesitate
This is the night
This is the night
This is the time
We've got to get right This is the night. This is the time. We've got to get right.
This is the night.
Touch me.
Touch me.
I want to feel your body.
Your heartbeat next to mine.
This is the night.
Touch me.
Touch me now.
Quick as a flash, you did it.
Hey, you guys know who this is, right?
Oh, my God.
Sorry, go ahead, Stu.
I was just going to say,
this is like the record company saw Madonna
and saw what she was doing,
and they were like,
well, we've got a girl that will really do it.
As Double D points out in the chat,
and I have the same memory,
the poster of Samantha Fox
was everywhere when I was a kid.
Penthouse Magazine with Samantha Fox.
Absolutely.
This song and other Samantha Fox songs were all over 680 CFDR,
you know, top 40 stations.
I feel like I knew who she was, like what she looked like,
and I knew the songs, but I never really put two and two together two together even though this song I was a little surprised to hear this this was a number one
hit in Canada wow I remember hearing it all the time yeah it was it was a big jam I'm just a little
surprised it went to number one in Canada not to mention number one in Australia Greece Finland
Norway Portugal Sweden Switzerland only went to number three in her native UK and number four in the US.
Oh, only number three.
Yeah.
Monster Jam.
This song came out March 1986.
Do you guys sort of know like Samantha Fox's whole narrative?
Like pretty much everything she did in the 90s and 2000s.
Like I didn't really know about what she did. i'm curious to find out what she's up to i just remember at the time the
controversy i think was she would pose topless or she was she a stripper did she a topless model
or something well no when she this is i mean this is not age well when she was 17 her mother actually
sent some uh photos of her into the sun now Now, you guys, not the Toronto Sun, obviously,
although maybe they would have been interested to.
This is the British newspaper, the Sun, that has the page.
Yeah, you're a fan.
Well, you know.
Well, they had topless photos in their newspapers in Britain.
Yeah, like on page three or page six or whatever it was.
And yeah, she, you know, kind of was featured there that's when everyone knew
about her um and then she went from there she she did a lot of little recording earlier but then
it was around like kind of 86 that she started hitting the charts and this was this was by far
her biggest uh monster biggest song yeah but had a bunch of other charting singles and then I think had a pretty steep fall off once the 90s hit.
In 1990, this is a fun fact, she actually appeared on an episode
of Charles in Charge. Wow, Scott Baio. Yeah,
which a big Trump supporter. She played a character named Samantha
Steele, a fictional rock star whose agent
pushes her to romance
Charles so that the paparazzi
will print it in the tabloid.
Oh, I actually kind of remember that one.
Do you? Modeled after Lita Ford, maybe.
I always get it confused with the episode
when Stacey Q was at the mall
and Kimmy
skipped school and
Uncle Jesse was
with Michelle in the record store on one of those kiddie leashes, if you remember.
Totally.
He went around the corner.
He saw them hiding.
And then he followed the leash and then found them hiding.
But then he ended up being a cool uncle
and letting them stay to meet Stacey.
But you spent too much time rolling with Saget.
That's why you're confused here.
Oh, no.
Cam knows what I'm talking about.
Sadly, I know exactly what's to say. I do
remember that episode. But I watched Charles in
Charge. That's Full House.
Right?
Yeah, what's Stu's describing?
Oh, I'm describing Full House, yes, because
Stacey Q, Samantha Fox, same thing.
Similar. Yeah, Queen of Hearts,
right? Queen of Hearts? Was that her baby? Queen of Hearts.
Yeah, that was a big jam around the same time. two of hearts oh i was playing with the queen of hearts
that was a whole different song you're thinking motorhead the queen of spades what is it ace of
spades ace of spades right now samantha fox into the 2000s she she appeared on a lot of uh
uk-based reality shows including Celebrity Big
Brother and Celebrity Wife
Swap. Now,
are you guys aware of the statement she made
in 2003 that really
changed what everyone thought about Samantha Fox?
This was a big reveal.
That she was actually
bisexual and she was in love
with her manager,
Myra Stratton.
I miss that news.
Yeah.
So they,
they became a couple of people.
Sam.
Yeah.
The magazine,
that article was printed and I,
I looked at the pictures.
How do you read?
And it's awfully sticky now.
So you can't,
the pages are stuck together.
Well,
like three or four of them are anyway,
Myra Stratton,
Stratton was a lot older.
But nevertheless, they became a couple.
And sadly, we lost Myra in 2015 to breast cancer at the age of 60.
Hey, Cam, keep rocking with your fun facts about Samantha Fox.
I love it.
But just touch your nose when you're done your fun facts,
because we actually have a second special guest in the waiting room.
Oh, okay.
Come on.
Come on. Come on!
I'm done. Bring them in.
Samantha Fox, touch me.
Samantha Fox is the special guest.
So, sex chams,
another special guest has arrived.
Are we going to be doing multiple
special guests now, moving forward?
I've got to keep myself engaged and interested
here.
Oh my goodness.
I know who that is.
Wow. Hi.
Hi, Monica. Ladies and gentlemen,
my wife, Monica.
Matt Layden in the
building.
Are you Matt Layden? For the record,
once and for all, are you Matt Layden?
No.
I wish I was.
Well, I saw you nodding.
I wasn't sure if I should play along with you.
Pregnant pause.
Oh, don't say that.
I got a vasectomy.
There you go.
No pregnant pauses.
Did you notice I stuck with the familiar background, the familiar scene
and now I'm regretting it because
there's midges everywhere
There's what now? Midges
Those little flying bugs
Stu lives too north to know what that is
That's a lake thing
Midges are these little harmless bugs
that we have in Alberta
It's a new Toronto thing
Mike did say that he had a lot of
sexy people in the
backyard today. I didn't know.
Babe, you're here for
sex jams.
Big special guest.
Do you want me to just play the song
and then we'll hear you remark.
Exciting. I'm so excited
to have you here.
Is this Monica's pick or
this is your
your pick oh this is my pick this is monica's pick then i'll do my pick okay monica's pick here we go Stop, stop to the heart, tick-tock, get on Stop, stop to the heart, tick-tock, get on Hey, beautiful lady
I need you tonight
Love, love, love relating
I wanna make you feel alright, yeah
Dig in
I can't deny, baby
I wanna love you down
You are so fine, baby
All I wanna do is
I wanna sex you up all night.
I want to sex you up.
Baby, before you say it, before you say anything, I am so rude to interrupt you.
I just want to let you know I had to fight off both Cam and Stu.
Like, I think you both wanted this jam, right?
It's a great song.
More than anything.
But I reserved it for you, Monica.
Talk to us about this great sex jam.
This is I Want to Sex You Up by Color Me Bad. This is the first song
that came to mind. And when I looked
up some info, it was
released
in 1991.
She's on the show.
Monica is on the show and she's already
contributing way more than my damn friends.
So it was created
for the movie New Jack City
in 91. I was going to point out that fun the movie New Jack City.
Yeah, I was going to point out that fun fact.
New Jack City soundtrack.
I've never seen that movie, but I was listening to this song and I was 10 years old in 91.
I don't know what 10 year old Monica was, why or how I was listening to this song.
But that's Edmonton for you, right?
Can you tell the story about how you met the star of New Jack City?
Who is the star?
Ice-T, Judd Nelson.
Oh, Ice-T, I did, in Vegas.
He was walking his dog with his wife.
Ah, Coco.
Yeah, Coco.
I stopped them for a selfie, and they awkwardly agreed because they were holding a bag of poop.
Yeah.
Shout out to Ice-T.
You know, Color Me Bad, they had a shot to do some special things.
You know, they had a lot going for them.
They had I Want to Sex You Up.
They had I Adore Me Amor.
They had Get Up, That's A Bag, I'll Do Anything For You had Yes, I like that one.
That was a good one.
They had the television exposure
on 90210 several times.
I was going to say,
this could be a trivia question.
Peach Pit after Dark Irregulars.
The problem with them,
you know,
they could have been
new kids and all these
boy acts were coming.
I couldn't name one member of Color Me Bad was it Vince
and Neil and Sam and
Kenny G was Kenny G in that
band there was
a rumor but I just like they never marketed
them as like their individual
selves it was just everyone knows
Color Me Bad but can't tell you the names
of the guys in it which is sad because
they had hits.
They were kind of dorks
though, like they were nerds. Were they not?
I don't know.
Unlike us.
Most of us, when we think of Color Me Bad,
we think of Beavis and Butthead riffing
on Color Me Bad. That's where I got the Kenny G line from.
I think of New Jack City soundtrack,
song three.
Okay.
New Jack, hustler. Babe. Okay. Okay. Okay. New Jack, Hustler.
Babe, you got any more fun facts?
Yeah.
This song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, but it did make the 50 worst songs
ever list, Blender's list.
So I don't know how that works.
This is definitely not a bad song there's there's
actually once color me bad make made it acceptable to say i want to sex you up in a pop song i think
the floodgates opened after this song i mean so i hope i'm not spoiling any selections but i highly
doubt i am but remember silk the song freak me baby oh yeah like let me lick you up and down
Silk, the song Freak Me Baby.
It's like, let me lick you up and down.
I was like
at dance parties in like sixth
grade listening to this.
Or like, somebody's knocking, rocking their
boots. It was like all these sort of sex
R&B kind of sex
songs that spawned after Call Me
Bad, I think.
Took it up a notch. Where are the children
by the way?
Where are the parents on the internet? Oh, you know. Took it up a notch. Where are the children, by the way?
Where are the parents on the internet talking about sex songs?
There's a 19-year-old upstairs.
Is James washing them?
Yeah, I called him up.
By the way, is James' last name Boone?
So James B.
Yes, James B. That's why I always
ask, is he famous?
Spell differently. I know where James B. is's why I always ask, is he famous? Spell differently.
I know where James B. is. He's upstairs.
He's so famous, he's babysitting my kids.
There you go.
One more fun fact.
Oh, we got more. Good.
Oh, wow.
The TikTok soundbite, that's from Slick Rick's La-di-da-di, if you all know that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mind blow.
I love La-di-da- blow. I love Lottie Dottie.
Like, I absolutely, like, just love it.
There's a particular version I like,
but I've been throwing that on playlists for 40 years now,
or it seems like.
I feel like we had a hostile exchange on Pandemic Fridays
at Slick Rick is British.
Did we not?
Oh, I think I thought he was dead.
He's not dead.
I think I confused him. I don't know. I'm trying to remember who I confused him with. Like, dead, British. I thought he was dead. He's not dead. I think I confused him.
I don't know.
I'm trying to remember who I confused him with.
Like dead, British.
I thought he was dead too.
See, I think he went to jail.
Okay, okay, okay, come on.
Okay, I don't see.
George Michael's dead.
Shout out to Ridley Funeral Home.
How does it look, babe?
You see the new Brad Jones?
Is that the Paloochkowich spot?
No, Great Lakes got the Paloochkowich spot? No, Great Lakes got the Paloochkowich spot.
And then Ridley Funeral Home is right below the Palma Pasta box.
So everyone's here except Mimico Mike.
And by the way, if you want to enjoy midges every May,
and it's not so bad.
If you want to experience the midges, move to Mimico.
And I strongly urge you to talk to Mimico Mike about that.
Real estate love.ca. Babe, you to talk to Mimico Mike about that. Realestatelove.ca.
Babe, you're a bit younger than all of us,
but do you remember Sue Johansson?
Yes, I see her on the screen.
She's our special guest.
Hello, Sue.
Next with Stu.
She had a radio show, right?
On Q107, right?
Well, in Edmonton, it was a different station.
She was like Canada's answer to Dr. Ruth.
It was like Dr. Ruth without the accent.
She was on CFTR, I want to say.
So Ruth would be on CFTR, and then Sex with Sue was on Q107.
She was on The Hog for a while, too.
And then like the station The Hog, to clarify.
She was also on broadcast television.
She was on CFTO or something.
Like the Women's Network.
Something like that.
Late at night, you could watch her taking calls about like,
I have this stuck in my that and whatnot.
And how do I do this with that stuff?
She would get the dolls and make them fornicate.
Just to show like, oh, I have back issues.
And my husband, what can we do?
And she'd go, let me get my dollies.
And she'd bring them out.
And it was a whole thing. Is she still alive?
Yep 90 years young
But I will say
we'll keep you posted
So babe here
Yeah that was Twilight Zone
Babe you are welcome to stick around and hear
some I'm doing my sex jam next and I think it's a song you really Babe, you are welcome to stick around and hear some of... I'm doing my sex jam next, and I think it's a song you really, really like.
You're welcome to stick around, but of course...
A lot of information.
We have pizza delivery, so...
You ordered pizza?
I know.
I didn't tell you.
We have pizza.
I got to go, right?
I'm starving.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Maybe I will come over.
Is your no?
All right.
Well, save me some pizza if you don't mind.
Does Anthony Petrucci know you're getting pizza or whatever his name is?
His name is Anthony Petrucci from Palma Pasta.
He was at our wedding, right?
He catered our wedding, right, babe?
Yeah.
That's why he was at it because you hired him.
Okay.
So we answered, since I have Monica on the show for the first time,
the first Pandemic Friday, we answered the Matt Layden question.
You're not Matt Layden.
People know that, but Cambrio likes to bring it up.
Oh, you're drinking at Great Lakes.
Okay, cool.
Summertime.
So the last question before I kick out my jam.
Any regrets about marrying me like eight years ago?
Wait, should we have Mike not on this?
You can be honest.
I won't listen.
I'll take off the headphones.
No regrets.
No, that's a Tom Cochran song.
She said no regrets.
Oh, my God.
Monica, you're such a good sport.
Do you get sick of the fun facts I throw at you all day long?
No many fun facts.
It's not a sub.
Did you know when you married him that you'd have Ralph Ben-Murgy?
That's a good question.
That came as a surprise to me.
Just random people coming into the house.
You had one guest
just open the front door
without knocking and I was sitting in the living room
and that was the strangest time.
Do you remember who that was?
Mark Hebger.
That was PJ Fresh
Phil, I think.
Oh! That's a funny
Fellow Filipino
Hey Phil
Alright so you stick around if you wish
I'm going to kick out a jam now babe that was fantastic
You did a great job
Bye guys
Okay go bye
Try the pizza
Mike she's too good for you Mike
look I know that
you're slimy
you married up man
I'm gonna kick out bye babe
see you later I'll sleep with you tonight okay
that's a fact
oh my god is she gone
are you still there babe
someone in the live chat.
I'm so glad I caught this in the corner of my eye.
His name is Quebec Irish boy.
He listens to two podcasts.
He listens to Toronto Mike.
Then he listens to Humble and Fred.
So he's heard stories about,
can you comment on the record?
Cause I'm recording this about Humble Howard's speech that he made at your
wedding.
That it happened. Okay. That it happened?
Okay, so what happened?
Because a lot of people won't know.
He was really drunk.
He was really drunk.
I wasn't sure what he was saying,
but he was a bit offensive to my family,
thinking they didn't speak English.
Oh, because they looked like they were Asian.
Well, they are Asian.
Yes, they also look like they are Asian.
So half the room, if I can describe, half the room is Asian because they're your family.
Not that I don't have Asians on my side, but I didn't have any Asians on my side.
Careful.
Yeah.
I love it.
I mean, I have two children that are Asian.
I love Asians.
But, and Monica.
Honestly, I don't remember what he was saying. He said something. I don't remember what he was saying because I didn't
quite understand. I didn't understand what he was saying.
He was saying, I know you guys
don't know what we're talking about. As if they
didn't speak English, even though they were mostly
from Edmonton and Mississauga
and stuff like that.
Yeah, other than that, I don't remember what it was.
It was all problematic.
It's too bad we don't
have it. That's the only time of the night
that we didn't have it on video.
It was unscheduled.
Well, now that he's a client,
I might have to burn the tape anyways
just to save him.
Can you guys video the after party?
All right, my second jam.
Here it comes.
Okay, babe, you're great.
Thank you.
And thank you, Quebec Irish boy, for the question about the controversial speech.
Here we go.
Did you get it to your wife or?
No.
Well, I didn't know where we'd be at when she popped on, so it's a coincidence.
Second time this has been played on a PF.
All right. Is that right? I thought it was...
Remember Cam kicked out March of the Pigs for Springtime
You let me complicate you
Help me
I broke apart my insides
Help me
I've got no soul to tell
Come on
Help me
The only thing that works for me.
Help me get away from myself.
I don't want to fuck you like an animal.
I don't want to feel you from the inside.
I don't want to fuck you like an animal.
My whole existence is flawed. Closer.
Yeah.
We have kicked out a lot of Nine Inch Nails because March of the Pigs was recent.
You mentioned this got kicked out.
Speaking of Nine Inch Nails, here was recent. You mentioned this had got kicked. Speaking of a nine inch nails,
here's cam.
Biggest hog in the room.
So this is a,
okay.
I'm literally going to eat like a hot dog.
I'm not trying to be funny.
It's just,
just,
yeah.
So Beck says this is from magic Mike XXL.
And I have no idea if that's true or not.
So I'll take her word for it.
Cause she's very trustworthy.
Okay. Oh, it's not from the magic school bus. And YYZ Gord says it's a great jam. So, okay. Magic Mike XXL and I have no idea if that's true or not so I'll take her word for it because she's very trustworthy.
It's not from the Magic School Bus.
And YYZ Gord says it's a great jam.
YYZ.
Yeah, but he writes it Z-E-E so I have to say it like that.
Of course, because he's doing it properly.
We had that argument.
You're half American.
The airport is YYZ.
No, no, no.
Cam,
the airport, YYZ or YYZ. Everyone knows that. No, no, no. That's been established. Cam, the airport, YYZ or YYZ?
It's in the country, like whatever country it is part of.
Yeah, I think it's YYZ.
Yeah, like in my head I want to say YYZ and I'm not sure why.
That's the zipper.
No.
It's called YYZ.
Okay, so I have some fun facts about this great jam.
Okay, so 1994 is when this was released.
May 30th, 1994.
It is the second single from their second studio album,
The Downward Spiral.
One of the best, in my opinion,
maybe the best Nine Inch Nails album.
Do you guys know what was the first single from this album?
Perfect.
You are the perfect drug.
I think it was March of the Pigs.
Yeah, I feel like we played it
and talked about it. You played it
because it was a spring jam.
Oh, yeah, that was
my final performance.
When we do the finale and we talk
about the missteps, that's going to be
prominently featured, I think, here.
Who wants to guess where this peaked on the Billboard Hot 100?
21.
I'd say 45.
Very close.
41.
So it missed out on the top 40 by that much.
By the way, interestingly, I didn't even know this,
but many versions of this single are actually, it's titled
Closer to God, not
Closer, which I did not know. Apparently
it was called Closer to God. I don't know.
That's what I was reading. I just want to let you
know that basically, where do they get this
where do they get the drum
track that this Closer's built on?
It's from an Iggy Pop song
called Night Clubbing,
which came out in 1977 and was
performed by a rolling drum
machine.
That's where Trent Reznor
got that beat.
I will say this about my jam.
It's also on the
Trainspotting soundtrack.
That's that track.
I should point out, though, that
today was my nephew's
bar mitzvah
so happy mazal to my nephew Sammy
who had his bar mitzvah today
I'm glad you're doing that
so shout out to Sammy his name is
Sammy
I don't know if you should listen to this part of the program
but I guess at that age you can
he's a big 9 inch nails guy
but there's someone's birthday in the live chat
I want to shout out I just have to find it.
I saw it in the middle of all that excitement.
Oh, here it is.
Jokeroo.
It's Jokeroo's birthday today.
Jokeroo.
He says, send a tea my way.
Okay.
I don't have them yet, Jokeroo, but I promise I got to work on.
Jokeroo was here and I missed him again.
That's a great today's.
No, it's a Polka Dot Door reference.
I love it.
I love TVO and that's what i was waiting for and then after that is when they stuck on that damn doctor who that
we were talking about scaring the shit out of me earlier okay so this song why am i kicking this
out as a sex jam because of that line i want to fuck you like an animal i want to feel you from
the inside but trent resner uh does not like that we're talking about this as some kind of a sex jam. He's not happy with that
because he says this song
is about self-hatred and obsession
and he's sort of
dismayed by the fact that it's been
misinterpreted as a lust
anthem because of that chorus
that I'm referring to there.
What did he expect
with all due respect to his art?
I mean, pretty blunt. Now he's the there so what did he expect like with all due respect to his art like i mean i know yeah now
he's like you know now he's the uh movie score oscar blossoms were really pissed the gin blossoms
gin blossoms were pissed because they thought people thought hey jealousy was uh about jealousy
and it really was about yeah you know it's's that kind of thing, right? The version of Closer that you get on the single
is actually 30 seconds longer than the album version
because on the album version,
they abruptly ended to segue to the next track, which is Ruiner.
But on the single, of course, they don't have to do that.
So they let the piano and the, like you're kind of hearing it right now,
but it lets the background sounds play out for the 13 seconds.
Did you ever see them in concert, Mike?
You know what?
As much as I admire their catalog of music and enjoy them when they come on late at night when you're at the Phoenix and they throw on Closer and it's like fucking yeah.
Or Hurt.
This is going to be a seven-hour episode.
Well, we're going to start rocking here.
But I would just say I never thought to buy a ticket.
We'll be able to see cam eat the hot dog.
Okay.
All right.
So set up,
set up your second fucking jam stew.
Sure.
Um,
this is,
uh,
very sexy.
And this goes out to all the FOS is out there that are feeling kind of
sexy right now.
And they feel like if Stu puts on a jam to win this round,
to make them feel even sexier, if that's even possible,
this would be, you know, this is the magic.
This is the magic sauce right here, Mike.
This is the magic.
That made no sense.
I'm saying the FOSs out there that are feeling sexy,
that want to feel sexier,
I'm going to do it from right here. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up.
Oh, baby, now let's get down tonight.
Ooh.
Baby, I'm hot just like an oven.
I need some loving
And baby
I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing Oh baby Talk to us, Stuart.
You're listening to a, this is how you win in a game like this.
You put on Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye.
Not to be confused with one of Cam's favorite songs,
Shake You Down by Gregory Abbott.
This is Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye.
Very ahead-of-his-time artist.
And even more so, I think this song is a real masterpiece.
I got to be honest with you because, you know,
this song was made in 1981, produced and written by Marvin,
and you listen to the production, and it's so awesome,
and it's like ahead of its time just in the production of it.
It just sounds so fresh.
You know, it doesn't sound dated.
It sounds still cool, still sexy. And you have contemporary
artists like Miguel, who released that song Adorn, which is an awesome song, but it kind of
is in this sort of vein as this song. And boy, Marvin Gaye, what a career.
Ironically, he had to move to Belgium to write this song. You know, he was basically trying to run away from IRS problems, apparently.
Why is that ironic?
Well, it's just ironic that he wrote like he was in Motown and doing all these Motown.
And then once he leaves America and moves to Belgium, that's when he writes Sexual Healing.
And, you know, this is his first release, not on Motown.
And it's kind of ironic that like his most sort of successful American
solo contemporary
stuff for his career, he
recorded and was inspired by stuff
that wasn't even happening in America.
That's ironic. And I'm Alan
Cross. How about the fact
that this song went to number two in Belgium?
Did it go higher or lower
in the Price is Right game?
The song was recorded in belgium okay
went to number two on the chart there yeah did it go higher than number two or lower than number
two in canada oh in canada uh good question i'm gonna say it went to number one in canada
so higher cam he says lower he's chewing on a hot dog. Actual retail price, it went to number one in Canada.
Yeah, baby.
The line is two, okay?
The line is two.
How about in the United States?
The Billboard Hot 100.
Number two in Belgium.
Did it go higher?
Did it go to number one or did it go to number three?
I'm going to double up on higher.
I think it went to number one on the US.
What's number one?
Cam?
He's choking on a hot dog.
It's like that scene in Field of Dreams.
Actual retail price, number three in the US.
Whoa, I'm wrong.
Yeah.
That joke, I don't want to laugh at this joke.
I laughed a little when I saw Canada Kev's comment, but it's, come on, Canada Kev.
Canada Kev says it's too bad he couldn't escape his dad.
But that's so tragic, the end of...
The end of...
Rolling Stone magazine, of course, calls this...
This is on the list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, Mike.
It's a big jam.
Let's do a deep dive episode and cover that list of 500 songs.
Yeah, let's do it right after this.
Yeah.
You know, you think of Marvin Gaye, you think of Motown,
you think of that signature sort of sound.
This is a big departure from that.
And, you know, Michael Jackson, in some ways,
was also kind of doing the same thing right around this time.
A little bit after Marvin Gaye, I'd say,
after the sexual healing success, maybe Michael was inspired
and was like, hey, I could do something on my own
that's different than what I do.
Well, there's a sexy guy, Michael Jackson, for sure.
So, you know, there you have it.
Marvin Gaye, sexual healing.
Give the round to Stu Stone.
Well, I think you got the round
because David, sorry, Double D, David Drolet,
says, great pick, and that's for the win,
he says, hashtag FOSS.
I have a trivia question for you guys.
What grunge band
covered
sexual healing on the No Alternative
compilation?
What grunge band?
Mudhoney.
Soul Asylum, yes.
I should have known it was not
going to be a real grunge band.
By the way, I'm going to just promote the fact that when I had Jay Brody and Roddy Colmer in the backyard, we kicked out the grunge.
Really good companion piece to the Pandemic Friday where we kicked out the grunge.
And I asked them, is Soul Asylum grunge?
And we had a very lengthy discussion.
Ask specifically about the song that somebody just showed?
Just listen to the episode, Stu.
It's all in there.
Check the liner notes.
Shout out to Neil, a.k.a. Brother Bill,
for sharing the clip of Soul Asylum at the Edge in 1993.
I don't know if you guys listened to that.
This is like so nerdy,
but the interesting part I thought about that clip,
that must have been been amongst the final days
they were in Brampton. I was surprised
they were still in Brampton in 1993.
Because they moved to Bathurst
and Bloor for some shows, but not all shows.
I feel like only
live in Toronto and some
key shows like that are at Bathurst and Bloor,
but the rest are still in Brampton, I think.
Just these stories of Soul Asylum
and the Beautiful South and all these bands driving to Brampton to be think. Just these stories of like, you know, Soul Asylum and the Beautiful South
and all these bands driving to Brampton
to be on the radio.
It just, it seems almost unimaginable.
Come on.
How old was Marvin Gaye when his dad shot him dead?
I feel like he was in his forties.
Am I right about that?
I know I could Google this.
Yeah, that's like mid forties maybe,
if I were to guess.
I hate it.
I mean, nobody should die in their mid forties
from a gunshot wound that their dad fired at them.
But I really...
Ideally.
I know.
Remember, he just reached before that,
he kicked ass with the Star Spangled Banner, right?
Remember, he did that All-Star game,
that NBA All-Star game.
Yeah.
And it was like kind of the start of the MTV age.
44 years old.
40 fucking 40.
That's younger.
I don't know about you guys.
You might not be there yet. I can't remember.
But I am past 44.
I can't believe it.
And that!
And that was a great pick, Stu.
Are you ready, Cam, for your next pick?
Since I've been told this episode's going too long.
Too many special guests.
Yeah, and short intro.
I think this is the first track we're going to hear
that wasn't actually a single,
but I bet a lot of folks listening to this will know and love this song, and if not this song, specifically this band, who we've talked about a lot over the episodes. I'm tired, so tired I'm tired of having sex so tight
I'm spread so thin
I don't know who I am
Who I am
Monday night I'm making gin Tuesday night I'm making men What a jam.
What a jam.
Yeah, so Tired of Sex,
first opening track on the sophomore Weezer album,
Pinkerton.
This song actually predates that album.
It's apparently a very early track that Rivers Cuomo wrote,
but didn't quite make the cut for the subtitle,
the Blue Album,
but did make the cut to lead off the much-loved Pinkerton album
that famously, I don't think we have to hash that over,
hash pipe that over, as it were.
It was kind of a flop at the time, but it's become,
I wouldn't even say a cult favorite, just like it's sort of a favorite.
People seem to love that album.
Did you guys,
are you a fan?
I think it's the first time it came out.
Yeah.
But I do know what that,
that reference,
that's sort of like the Paul's boutique thing where it's like,
initially you're like,
Oh,
this isn't the same as that.
And then the little time goes on and you're like,
Oh,
it might be better.
Well,
say,
say what you,
what's on your mind,
Stu.
Oh,
the blue album is a classic album, a listen-through album,
and it's their best album.
So, I mean, Pinkerton might have a lot of street cred now,
but let's not take away that it's not better than the Blue Album.
A lot of people think Pinkerton's better than the Blue Album.
I actually prefer the Blue Album.
Yeah, because you're right.
Shout out to Mark Teo, who kicked out the jams on Toronto Mic'd and kicked this jam out.
And if he said otherwise, he's wrong.
Yeah.
Okay, go ahead.
I will say this about Pinkerton.
I never really understood why everyone suggested it was so different than the Blue album.
Because you would hear a lot of emo bands.
You would hear Jimmy World and
Dashboard Confessionals and
AFI, that whole generation of bands saying what
a formative album Pinkerton was
and how it was just so unique and
it was this tortured... I think it was sort of the mythology
around that album. But there's no Buddy Holly. I mean,
El Scorcho was almost there. It was a really
big single, El Scorcho. I don't think they were trying
to do another Buddy Holly. Well, no, yeah, right. But a lot
of people wanted another Buddy Holly. We don't need those were trying to do another Buddy Holly. Well, no, yeah, right, but a lot of people wanted
another Buddy Holly. We don't need those fans.
Yeah, but think of this song, Tired of Sex.
This would not have been out of place.
This song kicks ass. This is straight up
riffs, all the things we know
and love about Weezer. I don't understand why this album
was so positioned as
being difficult.
It's their second best album, Pinkerton.
Oh, no, I agree. It is their second best.
But I will say, if you're going to look for hits,
like if you're actually looking for hits,
there was like one hit on Pinkerton
and there were several...
Because on the Blue album, it's not even about hits.
The non-hits were still hits.
Yeah, sure, like Jonas.
My name is Jonas.
It's like 32 minutes long. It's an easy listen.
But you have the Sweater song, whatever that's called,
Come Undone or whatever that's called.
Say It Ain't So.
Say It Ain't So.
You have Buddy Holly.
What am I missing from this?
My name is Jonas.
But that wasn't a big hit.
That wasn't a single, I guess.
No.
In the garage.
In the garage.
Surf Wax USA.
Surf Wax USA.
Several radio hits.
As I remember listening to 102.1 at the time,
I could be wrong.
I've been wrong before.
I only remember one song from Pinkerton
getting a lot of radio airplay.
There was a song, The Good Life.
I think that was the second single,
which was kind of like a meh.
What's the song?
You can grab it.
You can...
That's a Weezer song? Is it like Steve Miller? You can... Because everybody wants a devil.
That's a Weezer song?
Is it like Steve Miller?
If you're down with pee,
because you're down with me.
That's the Rendles.
I know.
Thank you, Michael.
Final fun fact.
I only saw...
Shush.
I'll mute him. Don't worry.
Thank you.
Okay, he's done. I only saw We Shush. I'll mute him. Don't worry. Thank you. Come on.
Okay, he's done.
I only saw Weezer once.
It was actually on the tour for this album.
They played at the Phoenix Concert Festival.
Phoenix Concert Festival.
Phoenix Concert Theater.
They opened with this track.
Massive mosh pit.
The whole Phoenix.
Everyone fucking lost their shit.
This is like right before Matt Charm.
Dude, I was there. I fucking lost their shit. This is like right before Matt Sharp. Dude, I was there.
I was there.
Whoa.
Okay.
Were you like running the booth outside selling, you know,
toss the ring, the ring toss game outside there?
I get it because of the fucking Rolling Stones Steel Wheels tour
that I said I listened to at the grandstand.
And you said it was Skydome.
Skydome.
Anyway, Matt Sharp, who
left Weezer, I think in
1996 on this tour and never
came back, actually would sometimes
play this song in concert
later on. Most famously in 2008
he performed a version of this song
we haven't even said the name, Tired of Sex
with Cannazone, Tegan
and Sarah playing a synthesizer.
In 2008, Matt Sharp joined them for a cover.
Purple Triangle is the song
Stu's singing.
If you want it, you can
And that's courtesy of Ian Service
who's
This is a Weezer song, Stu's singing.
If you want it.
Yeah. I don't know if I was recording
yet, but do you remember earlier, Cam, when I said
something like, not so good, Al, when I was recording yet, but do you remember earlier, Cam, when I said something
like, not so good, Al, when I was talking
about Stu's audio? That's
from the fucking Buddy Holly video.
By the way, your headphones,
is that all remedied?
You broke all your headphones? So I had to take two
pairs to my audio dealer on
Judson so he could fix them.
He's repairing them right now. Shout out to Paul.
But think of the odds.
Think about this. I've been doing this for right now. Shout out to Paul. But think of the odds.
Think about this.
I've been doing this for nine years.
Shout out to Craig Northey.
So nine years I'm doing Toronto Mic.
You with me?
Yes, yes.
In one 1236 fucking episode,
which is almost three hours long,
I break two pairs of headphones during that episode.
The day before, I have two people going in the backyard.
So my four is down to two and the very next day I need three.
What were the fucking odds?
I will say this,
if you were going to bust up some headphones
any episode,
it would either be a 1236 episode
of Pandemic Fridays
or a Hebsey episode
because I feel like that's,
those are your people.
You get so fired up
with all the fun facts
and all the memories and the nostalgia
and the frenetic pace of these shows.
I'm not surprised.
If you were to break headphones,
it would happen during a 12-week season.
I misread the Ian Service chat.
He seems to be saying,
If You Want It is the name of that song,
which would make sense.
It sounds like it should be called If You Want It.
Who sings like,
If you want it, come and get it is it's the beatles isn't it
oh no it's bad bad finger if you want it here it is coming i think it's bad bad finger
not john lennon the 27 club if you want it it is come and get it is it george harrison
okay fotm please fact check that.
Okay, somebody fact check.
Where the fuck is... Actually, VP of sales warned me
he couldn't make it today.
Okay, so,
Tired of Sex.
I would just argue
it's an anti-sex song.
Like, it's not a sex jam.
It's the opposite.
It's also what MF says to Kim.
Oh, stop it.
How dare you?
You want me to kick out my third jam?
Yeah.
It's a little different.
Here we go. When I think about you I think about love
Darling
I don't live without you
And your love
If I had
Those golden dreams of my yesterday, I would wrap you in the heaven. On the way Feel like making love Feel like making love
Feel like making love
Feel like making love
Feel like making love to you Bad Company.
Good fake finish there.
Feel like making love.
Fake finish.
That's for later tonight, Cammie.
Come on now.
Okay.
This is from 1975. Bad Company's
album was called Straight Shooter.
I think
Stu would do well at this game. Do you want to guess?
Because Bad Company is a
super group. So the members,
I'll give you the names and then if you can guess what
bands they came from before Bad Company.
Okay. So the members of Bad Company,
Paul Rogers,
Mick Ralphs,
Boz Burrell,
and Simon Kirk.
Starting with lead vocalist,
Paul Rogers.
What band was he in prior to Bad Company?
Well, I'll say Deep Purple, but I think I'm just thinking of the Tawny Katane. Yes. Well, I say deep purple,
but I think I'm just thinking of the
Tawny Katane. Yes.
And again, I was thinking
of her when you mentioned Samantha Fox
because they're kind of the same era sex
symbol for us AstraZeneca
getters. You know what I mean? Totally.
I was the one complaint I have about
last episode, 1236, more
Chuck Finley. Paul Rogers doesn't he sing for Queen after Freddie passed away?
I mean, that's obviously after the fact.
So do you know?
I can help you out here.
This is mid-70s stuff.
Sometimes I flake out on it because I didn't live it.
But Paul Rogers was in the band Free.
Which was also a...
Was that a super group too?
Free? They were like All Right Now, right? right yes that's their big jam all right now i didn't think they were a super group uh i don't think so but
they were a london band in late 60s early 70s uh all right now blind i think i'm thinking of blind
faith blind faith super group so okay so that's paul rogers what did Mick Ralphs, he was the lead guitarist,
what band did he come from?
This is hard.
Yeah, it's tough because it's like,
who talks about Bad Company anymore?
Although this jam's a good sex jam.
Are they all British?
Yes.
Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
That's a good guess.
Any guess, Stu?
I don't have a guess.
Mott the Hoople.
Wow. Oh.ott the Hoople.
Wow. Oh. All the young dudes. All the young dudes, of course.
The Bowie thing. Huck Rock. Right.
Bass guitarist, Boz
Burrell. That's a great name, Boz. Boz Burrell.
What band did he come from?
Boz Burrell.
Boz Skaggs. That's a good guess.
This is not the Yacht Rock.
King Crimson.
Wow. All these bands King Crimson. Wow.
All these bands are quite different.
Right.
And I'll just...
Simon Kirk, I won't even make you guess, but he's a drummer.
He also came from Free.
What was that, Stu?
Can I blow your mind?
Of course.
Are you sitting down?
Yes.
So, I was recently on your website uh toronto mic.com yes uh on a post of toronto mic.com
forward slash 2021 forward slash 054 slash blue slash blockers slash sunglasses slash wrap forward
slash oh yeah the blue blocker wrap i was down this rabbit hole yesterday yes and so my name
is geek and i walk the streets and man you are in for a shocker when you wear
your blue blockers float like a butterfly sting like a bee man these blue blockers look good on
me you know what i'm talking about of course i do i wrote this entry yes first of all geek uh the
man on the street geek who from the blue blockers rap not only has he passed away unfortunately but he was a on an episode of blowing up with jamie kenzie
we i was uh that was it like an inside joke that nobody i thought i would have got it i yeah i
thought that having him on would get people would be like oh my god it's the blue blockers rapper
guy because stew and i think you might have had a similar experience it sounds like but how many nights did i just channel surfing back in the day i would find the blue
blocker infomercial and i always stopped and listened to his rap yeah it was either the blue
blockers or the pick up the phone it was a prince of love guy yeah that's what i'm talking about
yeah but the blue blocker guy when you go you get these on the tv like it sounds like
he's improvising his rap in real time it was really impressive to me he was he would like
literally when i was living in los angeles listen to your me how about this i would be walking i
would go down to like venice beach with like friends and we're just like walking down and
one day who do i see geek on the street doing like you drop a quarter in the bucket and he's like he's like stew is
wearing a shoe and he comes down and he's rocking with his crew he's like just busking do we have
an equivalent is there a toronto equivalent to that as a like a like the okay blue jays drum
guy on the outside i thought you might say xanthan i'm like no we have problems then
uh but yeah street busker so what happened was i think he was like kind of screwed over like We have problems. Ben Kerr? Yeah, Ben Kerr. Good one. Street Buster.
So what happened was I think he was kind of screwed over.
They just were going.
They were on Venice Beach putting the sunglasses on people,
and then they threw a quarter in his bucket,
and he did the whole wrap,
and he probably got whatever they threw in the bucket.
But they gave him the glasses too.
Yeah, they gave him the glasses,
and then he became sort of a cult hero from the commercial,
but he never got paid because 20 some odd years later,
he was still on Venice Beach.
So that's where I saw him.
And I was like, hey, we need to film something with him.
Like people will freak out.
And then we had him on and nobody freaked out.
Wow.
See, that's, you think of like a modern version of that.
I think of, you know, that TikTok viral guy with the ocean spray on the skateboard.
And that guy now has a house because everyone can get in touch with that guy now.
Like, you know, this at the time was sort of before everyone's fully connected with the social medias.
Nobody knew what I was talking about.
I'm like, it's the blue blockers rap guy.
And they're like, the what now?
I'm like, you guys don't know this?
If you know, you know, right? It's know right it's like if you know you know yeah hey did we ever uh like uh clarify that uh if you
want it was uh it's called come and get it that song i think it's come and get it if you want it
let me bad finger it's bad finger oh if you want it, not to be confused with Bad Motor Finger.
That's a whole different thing.
Yeah, Bad Finger.
Bad Finger, right.
Which did have, like, ties to the Beatles.
Like, we talked about them on the 27 Club.
Right.
Bad Finger.
We could have so many sex jam episodes, Mike.
I mean, just to come up with five was very hard.
I mean, songs like Do Me Baby by Bellevue DeVoe,
that got Hanson. Sure. Are you setting up your third jam right now i'll make love to you uh boys to men
right but you know it's like dana medina a funky cold medina who started us off with a madonna jam
madonna really did open the doors in a lot of ways for these women's sexual empowerment
stuff that was going on there, where women
were coming on the forefront,
or I guess that's a weird use of words,
but they were put on the forefront
of this empowerment,
and sex was no longer going
to be something that only men could sing about.
We're here to say,
we're here to talk about it too,
and this is a song where women are
talking about sex
spinderella cut it up one time Come on.
Let's talk about sex, baby.
Let's talk about you and me.
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that make me.
Let's talk about sex.
Let's talk about sex.
Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex.
Let's talk about sex.
Let's talk about sex.
And now to the people at home or in the crowd, it keeps coming up anyhow.
Don't decoy, avoid, or make void the topic.
Because that ain't going to stop it.
Now we talk about sex on the radio and video shows.
Many will know.
Anything goes.
Let's tell it like it is and how it could be. How it was and of course how it should be. I don't even want to bring it down.
I like this song.
Or do you want the chorus again?
Here we go.
Maybe.
Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that make me. Let's talk about sex.
Let's talk about sex.
Let's talk about sex.
Let's talk about sex.
Lucas, put the lid off there.
Was there a group hotter than Salt-N-Pepa at that point?
I mean, they had such a string of success with sexually suggestive songs like
Shoop, I like Shoop.
I want to Shoop, baby.
Push it real good.
What a man.
What a man.
What a mighty good man.
Shout out to En Vogue.
Great sample on that.
Let's talk about sex, which, of course, in Canada was called Let's Talk About Sex.
Oh, Spinderella tweeted us, right?
Cam, in the early days when we used to get celebrities to tweet us, she tweeted us. Spinderella tweeted us, right?
Cam, in the early days when we used to get celebrities to tweet us,
she tweeted us. Spinderella and on both.
That's right, yeah.
So you never know.
It could happen again.
But I will say, I hear a bit of a mind blow right off the top of the,
right off the bat.
Salt-N-Pepa is classified in the music world as a trio.
Spinderella is officially a member.
Of course we knew that,
but when you think of salt and pepper,
you probably think it's a duo salt and pepper,
but actually it says salt and pepper,
the trio from,
and this trio was the first trio.
And this song was the first female trio.
So it's very much a trio,
but it was
never called salt and peppa and spinderella uh the name of the group so a trio how about that
it's a fun fact it's a fact song was actually uh came out right around the time that magic
johnson came out saying that he had contracted the hiv virus in uh salt and pepper uh with this song which
promoted safe sex um you know you know tlc started wearing condoms in their glasses after this and
they had a bunch of suggestive songs as well and i feel like just channeling my little bill
i want to talk to you.
But yeah, let's talk about sex, guys.
The song went to... Let me pick a country to start this off with here.
This is going to surprise you guys.
All right.
Well, it went to...
Let's talk.
I mean, it went to number one in Germany.
Let's talk about charts.
All right. Hey, you sound good right now, Stu.
So whatever your setup is right now, it sounds really good.
My setup right now, I'm going to set this up.
In Europe, this song went to number two.
In the country of Europe?
Sorry, in the continent of Europe.
At the Euro Chart Hot 100, it went to number two.
Did it go higher
or lower in Canada?
Number one jam in Canada.
Yeah.
I agree. This is going to surprise
you guys. Did not chart.
Salt-N-Pepa, Let's Talk About Sex
went to number
24 in Canada. Bullshit.
You know why? Canada always
preferred rock to the
R&B stuff in the rap.
But this song was on everywhere.
April Wine was much higher rated
than that. April Wine, to their
credit, quite a show at the
Whiskey at Go-Go parking lot.
There was hot dogs.
There was a dunk tank.
You know, I don't want to...
Sincerely, if sincerely, like, if I
find out, if I get free tickets to an April
Wine Show in the summer of 2022,
I'm fucking there, and I'm going to fucking love it
because there's so many hits. Hopefully it's at the Whiskey Parking Lot
again because that was quite the bash.
Might be in my backyard.
There was a dunk tank.
Did the song chart higher or lower
in the United States
on the US Hot 100 Billboard?
Number one in the U.S.
They love their R&B.
Cam?
Sorry, higher or lower than 24?
On the number two.
Oh, lower.
Because you think it was number one.
Correct.
Okay.
Actual retail price for Salt-N-Pepa, the trio with the smash hit,
Let's Talk About Sex, the U.S. Hot 100 Billboard charts, number 13.
This song was barely a hit.
Yeah.
I'm shocked by that.
Like, I thought this was a number one.
Now, it was number one in a lot of countries.
Australia, Austria, Belgium. There a number one. Now, it was number one in a lot of countries. Australia, Austria,
Belgium, there it is again,
Germany, Netherlands,
Portugal, Switzerland,
Zimbabwe.
I mean, this song took
Psalm and Pippa around the
world. But in Canada and the United
States, it didn't even
crack the top 10. That surprises
me because this was such a big hit.
Remember the secondary song, Let's Talk About AIDS.
Right.
Like they did a version.
That didn't chart.
That didn't chart.
Big jam.
I got to say, I still remember the kind of stumbling.
I mean, when you first get exposed to Push It, thinking, what a fucking jam this is.
It was like, whoa,
but your brain opens up to all these different sounds.
Baby, baby.
Yeah, it's just, you know, that and
what's the Mars song?
Pump Up the Volume.
I thought that they were so ahead of their time, too,
because the other girl
emcees at the time
wasn't anything like that.
I mean, Salt-N-Pepa
Push It was like, holy shit,
this is great.
They were on it.
Yeah, they were revolutionary, but I just want to shout out
early adopters there. I want to shout out
L.A. Love and Mishy Mee, who were
really early in the game
for woman and rap.
Weren't they J.J. Fad?
I'm trying to think who else, like in the 80s at least
of that female.
MC Light, Queen Latifah.
Right.
Well, there she is. Yeah, Queen Latifah.
Moni in the middle.
Right. Moni Love. Yes? Moni in the middle. Right.
Moni Love.
Yes, Moni Love.
Nina Cherry.
Buffalo Stance.
Is that hip-hop?
She was a rapper.
It was Shake Your Body.
That was an insult.
Yeah, Ya Kid K.
That's Technotronic.
Right.
Technotronic, yeah.
And they opened again.
They opened for, was it Madonna?
For Matt Dana.
Matt Dana, right, right right big jam there
well done stewart uh well done now rage final round here so uh here we are i don't know where
we are time wise if we made up the time by busting here but here's our final jams uh
do you want to say anything before i kick out your final jam mr gordon uh no because i can't forget what it is now all right well you're gonna be as surprised
as anybody here we go i've got notes okay oh
are you gonna blow our mind
i'm surprised i didn't get a mind blow.
I need to have a bomb. Hey girl, ain't no mystery.
At least, as far as I can see.
I want to keep you here.
Laying next to me, sharing our love between the sheets.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Okay, so of course, this is
the originators, the Isley
brothers, Between
the Sheets.
Ooh, baby.
Heavily
sampled song
that we all know, and
Between the Sheets, that's where
the fucking happens.
We'll just be blunt about it.
It's not about sex.
I'm just saying.
I think the...
I think...
I love it when you call me Big Pop.
Where else do we know this from?
Oh yeah, well for sure, Biggie.
Big Papa.
And also a song
we heard very, very, very early
during Pandemic Fridays.
Our run, Funktified
by Dap Bratz. Speaking of female
rappers.
Speaking of female rappers.
It sure is in Funktified.
I just want to shout out Unskinny Bop.
Unskinny Bop Between the Sheets
as I recall.
Unskinny Bop.
Unskinny Bop.
Other people have sampled the song include kata's only own drake jay-z lowane the game chance the rapper alia the late great alia and the late great whitney houston
as well um i i don't actually believe this but we've debated who's the greatest American band of all time, right?
The Eagles.
Yeah, is it the Eagles? Is it the Beach Boys?
Is it TCR? Are you about to say the Isley Brothers?
I'm not saying the Isley Brothers
are,
but I'd be willing to
listen to someone put together an argument
just in terms of how long these guys have been around.
When did this song come out?
This song is from the 80s, actually.
It's from 1983.
So this kind of reminds me of like how,
and I say this with all due respect, Kim,
but how the Marvin Gaye song that I had played earlier
was sort of like Marvin Gaye breaking out of that sort of Motown sound,
soul sound, and going into this sort of more modern, sexy.
This is their kind of version of that.
I think that's a great parallel. And right around the same time, soul sound and going into this sort of more modern sexy this is their kind of version of that i think
that's a great uh parallel and right around the same time because that sexual i was to say sexual
chocolate sexual healing is what 82 81 yes yes yes because i remember there's like a video for
that song and stuff so yeah this is 1983 um didn't make the billboard charts aside from the r&b charts where it was the number three hit
um did okay in the uk was number 52 on their overall chart um just because we're here and
we're in a pandemic i will point out again that uh i always thought very strangely the
isley brothers played the sars fest with the Rolling Stones in ACDC. Thought they did too.
Yeah.
So the set list that day, a lot of covers.
So they opened with Fight the Power, their song, not the Public Enemy song.
A cover of I Want to Take You Higher, would they sort of remember?
It's Your Thing.
It's Your Thing.
Do what you want to do.
Exactly.
A cover of a song called Put Yourself in My Place,
which I don't know.
That Lady.
Who's that lady?
Cover of Seals and Crofts, Summer Breeze.
You know, you're out at Downsview Park, Summer Breeze, we've all got fucking stars.
And then they closed it out.
And I feel like Dan Aykroyd might have come out for this
because I feel like he was there.
Shout.
Big Buffalo Bills anthem.
Yeah.
And of course, shout out to...
Middle of the afternoon at Saris Fest.
I always thought it was kind of weird.
Big Animal House jam.
Now wait for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Otis Day.
Otis Day.
Otis, yeah.
He's the artist in Animal House, I think.
Otis Day.
And then let's go to the legal file.
The Lord Honickman.
The Lord Honickman.
Ronald Isley.
I did not know this.
He spent three years in jail starting in 2006 for tax evasion.
Of course.
Of course.
Like Wesley Snipes.
There you go. Shout Like Wesley Snipes. There you go.
Shout out to Snipes.
Do you have the option to pay that fine eventually?
Or it's just jail for sure?
When does it get to jail time when you can't pay it?
I would assume you still owe the money when you come out.
It's not like, oh, you paid your debt to society.
It's like, well, you still owe money like people
need their money because that might be a good deal like i'd rather do the time than give you the
two million dollars is that what i'm saying is that what it is like when you go to jail is that
you instead of paying the fine you can either pay this or you can go to jail well i feel like on a
micro level this is the whole debate with these uh quarantine hotels like some people are opting to pay the fine versus go to jail although you have to pay to go to jail with those so i guess
it's a terrible analogy all right so come on what's your definition of dirty baby what do you
call pornography that's a jam okay I have my final jam now
that was a great uh an inspired
choice Cam I didn't see that coming but I'm
shocked you think there's a good argument that that's
the greatest American band of all time
I'm not saying it is I'm just saying
you know I feel like
why not the offspring
greatest fucking American band of all time
like the offspring have some good songs
put together an argument you Send over a PowerPoint.
Let's hash it out.
We should have a
debate over which bands with
brothers in it are the best.
The Isley Brothers, Hanson,
Casey and Jojo.
Kings of Leon.
Nelson.
New Kids on the Block.
Didn't they have two brothers?
No. Oh, yes, they did.
Yes, they did.
You know why?
I thought you were suggesting
Marky Mark was in there.
What about Toto?
What about love?
Wait, wait, wait.
Say that again. Cam, say that again.
What about love?
What a fucked up song.
Damn, Mike.
What about love?
Same band.
I mean, you get to play divinals, I touched myself?
This is more like making love jams than a sex song.
Hold your fire, Stu. So I pulled up alongside And I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile
So we drove for a while
I'm gonna ask him his name
There's This lonely boy
In the rain
Hey, tell me it's right
Is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong
Just stay for the night
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will you want me to all i want to do is make love to you
see cam broke into a heart song it's. I heard a heart song just out of nowhere
and then I had to go into my heart song finale
here. Okay. This, of course,
if you don't know, if you're too
young to remember, this is...
Yeah, that's right.
This is Barracuda. This is All I Want
to Do is Make Love to You. It is
a heart song from their 1990
album Brigade.
We're listening to the very last top 10 hit
that Heart would have in their illustrious career.
This is it.
This song has a bit of Jim Steinman in it.
I know it's not, but...
Well, you won't believe who it is.
Okay, well, that was going to be a reveal.
Well, I'm going to tell you now,
and then I'll play the original later.
But who do you think...
Ryan Adams.
Whose song is this?
That's a good guess.
Right? This is a good guess. Brian, this is a good guess?
Bonnie Tyler. This is not a heart song,
okay? This was going to be a mind blow,
but I'll just tell you now and I'll play it later.
This is a cover. This song
is a cover. Who wrote the original?
That blows my mind.
This is a cover.
I got a picture, like, who would sing that?
All I want to do is make love to you.
Is it, like like a country artist?
Yeah, I was going to say like Travis Treader.
Who said Brian Adams?
I did.
I feel that's close.
I think you're on the right.
Bruce Allen.
You're close.
Keep going.
Keep going.
Is it a Canadian?
No.
But married a Canadian.
Oh.
Married a Canadian.
A very famous Canadian. Oh. Married a Canadian. A very famous Canadian.
Oh, snap.
Janet Jones.
That's a great guess.
Oh, by the way, also earlier you talked about how Madonna kind of,
everybody's been talking about Madonna, groundbreaking,
women can own their own sexuality, which is wonderful,
except shout out to FOTM Carol Pope, okay,
who was the OG when it comes to that shit,
in my humble opinion.
Totally.
A lot of crotch grabbing.
She was cream in her jeans before Madonna was doing Holiday.
Okay.
This song, I'm going to tell you because you didn't get it.
This song was written by Mutt Lang.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
I see it.
This version, the heart version we're listening to right now,
it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
Who wants to guess in 1990 what song cock-blocked it from the number one spot?
It's appropriate considering what we've discussed at length today.
You can't touch this.
It's got to be a Madonna song, maybe?
It's a Madonna song
express yourself
very good guess
strike a pose
yeah well it was Vogue
yeah
Vogue
Vogue was number one song
so this all I want to do is make love to you
was kept out of the number one spot
I mentioned it
Leigh Haywood gave good face
right
I remember her
she made an appearance on Arsenio Hall
I was watching it live and I remember she made a they did beep it out but she made an appearance on arsenio hall i was watching it live
and i remember she made a they did beep it out but she said somebody i think arsenio said what
does that mean gave good face and she said oh why do you think it means gave good head
that was her response and they think they beeped out head that were in the mood
your song pick here can you summarize the narrative of the lyrics? Is Madonna Vogue
a rap song?
It's rappy.
She's not singing that. She only sings
the chorus, but the verses are like
Let your body move to
There's a bit of singing in there.
The verse of the song is like
Reda Graber, Anne Monroe, Beatrix
and the Maslow. Yeah, that's rap.
That's rap. Sure.
This will kind of tie into what Cam's asking.
So that's the woman version,
the female-led version of that song,
All I Want to Do is Make Love to You.
Now I'm going to play the original,
again, written by Mutt Lang.
Mutt Lang wanted this to be performed by Don Henley.
Oh, I like that.
He turned him down, so Henley wouldn't do this show.
So it went to a chap, Dobie Gray, and he's a dude, as you know.
You ain't a b-boy, man.
Right.
Here is the original.
You ready?
Here you go.
Mind blow.
Spit that doobie down.
Oh, yeah, this is Y'all Rock, right, Stu?
So far.
All I want to do is make love to you
There's a million things that we could do
And darling, I just just wanna do them with you
So a little different,
clearly different lyrics
and a different take on it,
but this is a Mutt Lang jam
that Dobie Gray recorded.
Who'd have thunk it
that all I wanna do
is make love to you by heart
was a cover.
When is that jam from?
That recording.
Okay, I think it was 79.
I didn't put it in my notes.
I should have put it in my fucking notes,
but it was something like 1979.
By the way,
could someone grab a screen cap,
but look at like me and Stu Johanson.
Now that I'm normal light,
like we're like identical.
It's like the same color.
All right.
You ready?
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on me.
Although I want the one of Dana in it
but okay three ready Stu
three two
one
killjoys I love that jam
this has very different lyrics because I mean
the hard version is about having sex
with a drifter in a seedy motel and
then years later discovering very different.
He's like a deadbeat dad,
but it's interesting.
They,
they radically changed the lyrics,
but there's only a one single writing credit for the heart version.
And that belongs to Mutt Lang.
So,
uh,
interesting.
They don't get a co-writing credit on that.
Okay.
Stu start setting up the year finale here.
Well,
ladies and gentlemen,
I'm about to play a very successful group.
You guys might know them as
Sunshine and Broccoli.
This is
not Sunshine and Broccoli.
This is... Wait, stop the
music. Stop the music.
Stop the music! Stop the rock and roll!
I forgot to do something. Okay.
So, I mentioned last week that there
was a friend of Broccoli's dad that
listens to every episode of Toronto Mike.
I got an email from this gentleman.
I want to say hello to Tim.
Tim is the guy who listens to every,
he's listening right now.
And he let Broccoli's dad know that Sunshine and Broccoli were,
were shouted out on Toronto Mike.
But then I,
of course,
Tim,
I want to say,
and it's not Ian service.
It's a real Tim, was at
TMLX6. So Tim
was in Marie Curtis Park that
fateful day of TMLX6.
Like he was hanging out with you guys?
Like he came for TML, no, he wasn't lurking.
He was there as a part of the, he had a
Great Lakes beer with us in the circle of
shit.
The circle of trust.
Mike, just before we go on,
do you know, is that heart song,
does that qualify as cam con?
No.
Probably not.
Bob will let explain this to me.
I don't think so.
It also shouldn't qualify for songs about sex
because again, it's a making love song.
I think making love jams is a whole different category.
Stu, Stu.
It's sex.
Stu.
Bumping and grinding and category. Stu. Stu. Sex. Bumping and grinding and
thugging. That's Stu.
Sometimes you have sex and sometimes
you make love. Okay, but this was called
sex jams, not called make love jams.
So I got making love
is reserved for Cam and MF in a tent
and we're talking about songs about
Mike and Monica.
This is more
Is this you?
Are you setting up your final jam?
I am.
I'm setting up my final jam.
Now, listen, the envelope was absolutely pushed by this next band.
This, I got to tell you, like, as a youngster growing up in this era,
when this group was popular, I couldn't get enough of this group.
And the stuff that now now as an adult looking back
and hearing their music back, I blush at the lyrics.
They're so filthy.
I can't even believe that like grade four, grade five,
me was like not punched in the face by adults
for like singing these songs.
But I was obsessed with it because it was just so dirty and so naughty
and so incredible.
And this is going to be
a really big victory party.
I'm going to victory lap with this song.
Number one,
Fuck Jam.
Here it comes.
What do we get for $10?
Everything you want.
Everything.
Everything.
Don't do that, babe.
What am I going to do?
You're a fucking chum. I got the black book I'm home, you see the real old fire Sitting at home with my dick apart
So I got the black book for a freak to call
Picked up the telephone, then dialed the seven digits
Said, yo, it's Marquis, baby, are you down with it?
I arrived at a house, knocked on the door
Not having no idea of what the night had in store
I'm like a dog in a heap A freak without a wound, not having appetite Problematic jams too
Of course there was a clean version of the song
That was recorded as well
But I mean if you didn't know all the words to this rap
You weren't in life properly.
But it's not
the sex that's problematic as I listen to
these ears. It's the sex is fine
because it's sex is sex. It's the me so
horny Asian
stereotype.
Full Metal Jacket.
So that's what that was at the time.
Is that really from Full Metal
Jacket? Yes. Full Metal Jacket? Yes.
Sample from Full Metal Jacket.
Yes.
Shout out to Stanley Kubrick.
Now, the teen version of the song
which most people heard
because that was the version
that would have been circulating more widely,
when you heard the dirty version,
it was shocking to hear
the difference between the versions.
It is like literally two different songs.
Like, the Miso Horny clean version
is almost like this, like, you know, naughty party song.
And the Miso Horny real version is like vulgar.
It's just like so sexually explicit that, like,
you can't even believe the lyrics
that these guys were saying at the time.
Right. And as a kid, you just thought it was great. And, you know, now as an adult, it that like you can't even believe the lyrics that these guys were saying at the time right
and as a kid you just thought it was great and you know now as an adult i would like not want
my kids to listen to that and i kind of get it but at the time i was definitely on the side of
luke skywalker uh and the two live crew uh you know in their battle against being banned in the usa well shout out to a tipper gore right this
was a yeah so me so horny rap group two live crew nasty as they want to be they also had an album as
clean as they want to be i mean these guys like sold you bought both copies you know it's like
they just had so many big songs i mean they had somebody say hey we want some yeah that was a big one i
thought you were gonna do face down a face down a uh that's the way we liked it could be fit it
was like contraband right like illegal contraband you just wanted more of it because it was so
stew are you having difficulty I'm having difficulty
focusing because of this twin
the twins I see on zoom
Sue Johansson and Cam Gordon like honestly
separated at birth
well that's actually that age app that's what Cam
that's unbelievable that's unfucked I wish people
anyone watching
at live.torontomike.com
that's fucking unbelievable this is like the fifth
place I've done this podcast.
It's been going on for so I keep on moving around.
I know.
We're in the backyard.
We're in the homestretch here, but there's some mind blows to come.
Yeah, we're going to blow some minds real quick.
But before we do that, let's talk about this major hit, guys.
This is a major hit and led to all sorts of, you know,
this is one of those like good press, bad press.
Bad press is good press.
You know, as soon as this album started getting banned, all of a sudden this band exploded even more right now this song went
to number nine in belgium higher or lower in the united states is this game gonna stick because
it's not that good like hot 100 the u.s billboard hot 100 Where did Me So Horny chart at its peak?
29.
Tim?
19.
26.
Oh, I was so close.
However, on the US Billboard Hot Rap Tracks,
a numero uno did not chart in Canada.
Yeah, not surprised.
A couple of mind blows to tell you about,
because I'm sure we'll hear 2 Live Crew in another episode,
maybe down the line.
But obviously you should look into it.
Someone should do a documentary on the 2 Live Crew thing,
because there was quite a stir going on there in Dade County
and censoring them, and they were battling Al Gore.
Was it Al Gore's wife?
Tipper Gore, yeah, Tipper Gore.
And then, of course, they released a song called Fuck Martinez,
where they shouted out the judge and the prosecutor
and everybody in the song.
These guys were sort of like the Lenny Bruce of rap music, I guess. I feel like this
could be, yeah, like a six-part
Netflix series, because
Frank Zappa was involved in the
stuff, and John Denver, and like a real
cast of characters. It could totally be
like a deep dive. Zappa was great
when he spoke about, yeah, he was fantastic.
Very eloquent. Censorship thing in music,
I think 2 Live Crew definitely...
Well, maybe that's next week's topic.
Who knows?
Censorship and music.
All right,
let's blow some minds.
Let's throw out our first mind bowl there.
Mike. There you go.
Fire Cracker
by Mass Production,
the 1979 hit song.
Fire Cracker by Mass Production
was the song sampled
for two live crews hit
Me So Horny.
That's pretty cool, huh?
Yeah, I was always curious what song they were sampling.
Good to hear it.
All right, let's go to Mind Blow number two there, Mike.
Living.
Living.
Living.
What?
What?
What?
Where is it?
I know what this is.
It's hot, you're kidding me?
And it's humid as hell.
Where were you yesterday?
Kicking in the mall just the other day.
I was checking out the girlies and the schmucks in the toupees.
It was time to get busy.
It started getting dark.
So we busted out the door onto the sidewalk.
Walking back to the hotel from the bagel shop it was so damn humid
air was on us like a mop i was shredding like a mule i was frying like a blintz i was swimming
in my shorts if you get the hint It's so humid It's so humid It's like a sauna in here It's so humid
It's so humid
Serious question. Are Cam and I allowed to
laugh at this?
Of course. Just checking.
Comedic rap duo
Two Live Jews
which actually had quite a
success with this Oi It's So Humid
and they had an album as kosher
as they want to be
featuring such hits as Oi It's So Humid and they had an album as kosher as they want to be.
Featuring such hits as Oi It's So Humid, Young Jews Be
Proud, and Shake Shake Shake, Shake
Shake Shake, Shake Your Tuchus.
So that...
This was a big...
This must have charted this album.
The video was definitely
on Much Music.
Two Live Jews, MC Moishe, and Easy Irving were the names of the rappers.
It was like regular rotation or on like a specialty show?
Probably like the comedy hour, like when Weird Al was on or something.
MC Moishe was played by Eric Lambert.
And Easy Irving, Joe Stone.
No relation.
No relation. Not your name joey stone
there you go two live jews they actually had two albums uh and then they actually had like six or
seven albums they have wow they've not stopped putting out albums uh but i think people stopped
listening after this uh a bit less culturally relevant yeah two live jews uh there you go
culturally relevant.
Yeah, to live Jews.
There you go.
Meat, oi, it's so humid.
And then we've got one last mind blow here, I think.
Oh, my God.
Okay, so let's start with this.
He's so hungry.
So, so hungry.
He's so hungry.
Oh, you can't hear me.
He's so hungry. So, so hungry.
He's so hungry. Sir, because I was hungry, sir. He's so hungry. I'm so hungry. I'm so hungry.
Because I was hungry, sir.
I'm so hungry.
I'm so hungry.
So hungry was another
parody song
that was put out around that time.
So, you know, listen, you know that you're doing
something right when people are putting
out parody songs. You know, let's
I think famously, was it Nirvana
that was like, we knew we made it when
Weird Al
did Smells Like Jesus?
We didn't want him to do it,
but at the same time, we knew we had
arrived because he was doing it.
So I think that, you know, 2 Live Crew,
you know, once the parodies
start coming out,
and we're going off to Edmonton.
Who's
Me So Hungry? Who sings that?
That is by MC Pillsbury.
Trademark
pending. No patent pending.
Let me get you the rest of it. That's like the tickle
the tummy. Like, hee hee. Yeah.
It was a big deal. Nothing says loving
like my new crescent rolls.
Did you get that gig, Stu, or did you try it with me?
Was it?
Brilliant Monocular Telescope is taking the world by storm.
What's that?
What's that?
That was me trying to pull up the facts on Me So Hungry, but I was...
I want to hear more about the telescope.
It's so cool.
So there you go.
And that.
All right.
Well, let me just say a lot of interesting, like, variety on this Sex Jams.
There's some lovemaking.
There's some fucking.
We could definitely do more.
We've got some ladies.
Not only did we get a Dana Levinson cameo, but Monica showed up out of nowhere.
Is there a sexy sequel to this?
Well, we'll discuss.
We'll see.
At some point, I got to start counting down the weeks. Because now that we have a finite number of shows, I don't. We'll see. At some point, I've got to start counting down the weeks.
Because now that we have a finite number of shows,
I don't know what that is.
Is it like 15 shows left?
And then we never speak to each other again.
It's like, you know what it's like?
Prisoners of War.
It's all you have for this period of time.
And then once you're free, it's like,
I never want to see that fucker again.
Also, a very difficult to beat Nintendo game, Prisoners of War.
Oh, yeah, right.
There's a code, right?
Even if you had a Game Genie or a Game Shark, you still couldn't beat it.
Like that was one of those games, even with the cheat.
Right.
You couldn't beat it.
No, guys, even when the pandemic Fridays come to an end,
I'm hoping that we do this at least monthly.
Like, it'd just be fun to have a monthly...
I think we only do it live in front of audiences.
Ten bucks a ticket.
Monetize that shit.
And we'll sell some t-shirts.
Paywall.
Pandemic Friday t-shirts.
I'm working on it.
Yes!
Do you have any thoughts quickly
on what you want next week's theme to be,
or do we talk about it later?
I have no thoughts. No what you want next week's theme to be? Or do we talk about it later? Uh,
I have no thoughts.
No thoughts.
He's,
he's thoughtless about assholes.
And that,
and that brings us to the end of our,
that remind Dana Levinson of sex.
And that brings us to the end of our 848th show.
Pandemic Friday.
Our 61st Pandemic Friday.
You can follow me on Twitter.
Now, what happens, Mike, if you get your second shot earlier than August?
Does the show end earlier?
Oh, great question.
See, I'm of the opinion.
I would rather, I want an AZ, or AZ, I guess, here.
But they're talking about mixing and matching.
I don't know about you, Cam, but I want another AZ.
That's how I feel.
Yeah, I think we'll get there.
I think Mr. Biden will send some stale, stale dated crap up here like he did last time.
Best thing that happened to us was that election result.
I think that's the best thing that happened for us.
Okay.
Certainly helpful.
I'm on Twitter.
I mentioned him at Toronto Mike.

at Stu Stone.
