That's no laughing matter, people. Pillars!

Did you know that Ridley Funeral Home is just up the street? Because when I was looking at, when I was looking up your block to try to plan my route to get here today, I kind of like, you know when you squeeze your thumbs together and you kind of open up the map, all of a sudden it said Ridley Funeral Home. Like within the first squeeze of your home, you live within a stone's throw of that place. Pun intended. There you go.

Pillars, have I ever told you they're pillars of the community? They're literally pillars of your community. Like the one that you live in. Since 1921, when I was just a kid. Today, returning for this 32nd episode Like the one that you live in since 1921 when I was just a kid today huge Returning for this 32nd episode of toast is Cam Gordon hello and Stu Stone

Absolutely, so what's up? What's up guys? Wow last toast to summer, right now. This is the toast to summer It's the funny thing is when I was outside waiting for you two guys who were late, but I saw, oh, that's no, Stu is on time. That's amazing that you flipped roles over all this time. So we'll catch up, lots to talk about, but I was outside literally eating toast cause I just got back from my son's soccer tryouts

and I was starving. He's doing really well actually. Jarvis is gifted with the soccer ball, but I'm out there eating toast. I saw a luxury automobile and I thought it might be stew. The windows were tinted and I didn't want to like be the guy who looks in the car and finds out it's not fucking stew. Anyway, I was eating toast and it was, uh, it was good to see stew here and cam always a pleasure to see you.

How are you guys doing? This is I I'm doing well. I do want to say that just for future reference, I would reconfigure how you have it set up here. Tell me where you would put it. It's just not flattering. Director, just tell me where you'd put it. It's like you are shooting us from a profile. So me and Cam are both very handsome guys.

We wanna see our money makers, not the side of our face. I know, but. Look, you can't even see Cam. Let's, like when you were talking to B. Brian Blair, for example, where did you have it? I would have it with can't even see Ken. Let's like when you were talking to be Brian Blair, for example, where, where did you have it? I would have like straight shot. Of course. Yeah, but I, you know, my problem is I can put the camera

here on one of you, but not both of you. Like it's not wide enough. And if I do that, then I'm not, there's no room for me. There was one that like maybe looked fat once. Like it was like, it was like a lot of thigh. Do you remember that? A lot of additions before we get to what we've been up to, Mike, let's talk about what you've been up to. You've recorded

another 3000 episodes of the show since we've last been here, which is really great. Congrats on that. You have a coat rack that was never at the bottom of your stairs before. Now that was not there. That's been there a while. Some new wallpaper. Yeah, you definitely have some new hockey player signed photos in the bathroom. Oh, there's Doug Gilmour's in there now. There's some new trinkets on the Chuchka table. So you're doing pretty good. So let's do you've been here in twenty twenty four. I have but solo. Yes.

So do you guys know I have a guess as to the last time the three of us recorded an episode of toast together? It's probably been a while. It's like two years at least. November 21st, 2022. Holy shit. Two years ago, it was toast 11. Time flies. This is 32. That means the, uh, yeah, the last 20, whatever that is, uh, 21 episodes. It just goes by. Yeah. Were other people not named Stu and Kim. Have you, Stu, don't ever listen to the toes I have what do you think of the coin Vance? They're much better than us

More hands are more charismatic still with more real information Not the fake stuff that Mike tries to pass off as facts with us back in the dribble but these guys come prepared they come organized and You know, it's a learning experience when those guys talk shop and sometimes I feel like people who are listening to Cam and I didn't learn anything. It's fair. Well they learned more about wrestling I think but I will say that Rob Bruce has his bona fides because he was in both Spoons and Honeymoon Sweet but lest we forget Cam Gordon I'm holding in my hand a copy of Blowing Up

with Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone. and Rob Pruse are both recording artists and I bet you Stu you sold more units than Rob. I don't think so. Spoons was very successful. Yeah. Okay. Cam, how's your new gig going? It's good. Yeah, I'm really not that new anymore.

It's been yeah, not that new. It's two years since we were together last. This guy's been working for almost two years there. No, you don't know the update. There's a new gig. Oh, yeah. We can say it has been a while. What?

Stu. You missed the whole, the whole art. He left the phone company. I had no idea. Yeah. He did not tell me that. He left in the spring. I hung up.

You don't follow him on LinkedIn. I did not know that. Yeah. Did you do an exit interview here? I don't think he has. I think my more news for Stu is that Cam is now part of another great trio, which is the FOTM cast trio, Tyler Campbell. So once a quarter Cam comes by. So we probably did cover this last time you came by, but yeah, the

phone company is the old gig. This is a new gig. What's the new gig? The new gig is very close to where we grew up in Seneca college or Seneca polytechnic. What are you doing there? I'm doing communications. Everyone's like, Oh, you're teaching there. It's like, no, I'm in the PR. I'm in the PR. Wow. Good for you, man. Wow. So we should go for lunch sometime. I'm right around there. But how often are you in town? So Stu,

let's catch up with you now before I share a story. That's so great. Are you. Are you happy now? Yeah, I'm in a better place. That's good. Mike knows this. He looks better. Yeah, you do. I had a date with him last Friday.

When I saw him walk up to your stoop today, Mike, the Sesame Street stoop over here, I said, who's that handsome guy? Yeah. Because he looks great. And then you saw Cam was there. Yes. And you've got your new life Yeah, and your new job. Yeah, it's been it's been a good summer. You still with MF still with MF I see she's in the chat room. Wow. She she got in which is good. God's all over the place

Yeah, guess I lost that bet new gig new woman just a new lifestyle. You just seem really happy. We're happy for you Yeah, good for you man. It's a new breezy, uh, cam Gordon. It's great. So, Hey, I want to find out what's going on with Stu because I never know where Stu is. We have a, a bit on FOTM cast. We call it, uh, I think Tyler's voice where in the world is Stu stone. And then we hear from you, but you're all over the place. You got a new movie coming out. You're doing dark side of the Ring. So give us a Stu Stone update. Well currently I am in Mike's basement, which is a stone's throw away from Ridley Funeral Home for those that didn't know that that actually was a local pillar for Mike. But in all seriousness, if I may transition from speaking of a funeral home to a different

topic in all seriousness, I have been working on Dark Side of the Ring as you said. We have got another season going. I don't know if that's been announced yet, but here it is. This is a big moment. No, but like don't scoop that. Like don't like, you know, this is done now. You know, but like I don't need it to be like a thing. Don't shine a light on it. Yeah. Don't tag. No the official like for the Toronto Mike for the for the Foss's out there They know that it's happening because I'm saying it now But we've got ten more episodes ten new fresh stories coming and I even did an interview that was a first for me Last week that was really really next level and I cannot wait for was this one the ones I've seen some some of the raw footage from no I have seen

No, no, okay. Is this somebody I've heard of I don't think you have the cam has okay, okay? But either way it's been very special doing this show. I love it I cannot believe by the time the season is over. I will have personally done 40 episodes Wow Which is insane and people love your episodes. I'll tell you great feedback. Oh good. Well, there's more coming So that's good. And then of course as you alluded to our new five seven films movie is coming in October Which means that they'll definitely be a promotional stop by between now and then don't fuck with ghosts. Don't f with ghosts Any word on the premiere? It's gonna be an event through the Cineplex folks at Cineplex again. October 11th is what I'm hearing right now.

That could change. That's good. With it being available on demand as of October 31st. And from what I understand it will be available on Hollywood Suite in January. So don't F with ghosts. October 11th. October 11th. You should write that down. I made a note here you should

I'm trying to play the cameras now because there's some complaints that you know, they all want to see both but I can't get Fucking belly here. Look, okay. I know you're not on live dot Toronto Mike calm right now that change But this I can't get you both in there. Well, we can move closer to each other Okay, well if you want a wide angle, why don't you just okay, I go here. Hold on. Okay. Okay. Hold on there handsome I'm so happy because now people can see how handsome we truly are. What about if it went almost right there? Okay, so they're okay. I think I might have found like a balance here. I'd have to physically move Movie face off like this is a poster Maybe you could cut more of your screen off and give us like 70%

I gave you a lot like oh, yeah, that's good. Okay, so this is Very happy now. Okay, cuz I went to the live stream just cuz you know, I didn't promote this episode It didn't look professional. It looked like some bush league shit. It's just watching us record the podcast I know but that's the experience for people who are watching they should have a good experience They should be able to see this good-looking sky and this guy who's watching this, you'd have a good experience. They should be able to see this good looking guy and this guy who's pretty good too. Sorry, why do you still look like that? I have a major delay on my end. Yeah, there's a delay.

There's a paywall to get to. Okay, shadow to the box. You're now closer together. Shadow to YYZGord on the live stream. VP of sales is there. I've been traveling everywhere, Mike. All over the place. Okay, I'm shouting out more people

than I wanna hear where you've been. Jeremy Hopkins, he's the official historian of the Toronto Mike podcast. Kevin in Alberta is here. He hasn't seen us in a while. He goes, who are these people? Who are these people? Uh, moose grumpy was there guessing. She always guesses correctly.

So it ruins the fun. Yeah. Uh, Andrew Ward says as a wrestle head, can you ask Stu about dark side of the ring and what's the fuck with Marty Janetti? Yeah, that was a wild episode. So yeah, okay. And many other people- They're asking for better lighting, Mike.

Can you not move that ring light a little closer? Raptors devotee, Leslie. Holy shit. Well, it's just you. Tell us where you've been, because I wanna talk about where I bumped into you recently, I have a story. Okay, this is- Hold on, wow, wow, look at this.

But then this is gonna block me. It's like a grow-up. I don't think it's gonna- No. Okay, you it's gonna fuck you guys, but it hasn't blocked you yet Okay, I'm I see your eyes. It's it's probably fine. See is like, okay, geez, it's good. Is that okay? I think she's who cares who can I'm recording the video? I can't put the video anywhere cuz we're gonna play songs We're gonna kick out song songs for this episode of totally quite nice I feel like I of totally quite nice So song songs means like song affected disorder songs with song the word song in the title of the song We're gonna kick out our favorite song songs

Okay, song song can we make something clear before we catch up with Stu and then I tell my story about bumping into Stu But this is not I want to make sure people know That Rob Proust and Bob will let are going to be back for the September toast. This is just an extra toast. They're still doing monthly toast. You guys are not kicking them out. Never. Why couldn't it's theirs to kick us? I feel like there's a lot of wrestling equivalents, like the new midnight express, the new rockers, like this. They're the new rockers.

Yeah. I will point out like the differences between the duos as I, uh, discover them. Cause one key difference is the amount of wrestling talk. There's less. There's no wrestling talk with Rob and Bob. There's lots of wrestling talk with Stu and Cam. Yes. Right. Is that the only difference? No, there's more differences. Can I hear a couple more?

As I like, as they pop in my head. Can we just get a sneak peek at one more? Okay. Uh, there's more okay there's more zany madcap schtick with this duo oh right especially me that's what I'm saying so you come here for the sizzle you go to them for the steak yeah Bob knows his shit lovely man this is a different flavor of toast you know you multiple flavors can I pop my Great Lakes beer before we get back to the show? I'm going to do the same.

Okay. On the mic. One, two. That's not on the mic. Like the mics up here. It wasn't on three either. Three there. Stu, where you been?

I want to talk about one place I met you and a great moment I had with you. Do you want me to do that now or do you want to just tell us? Yeah. I mean, listen, I've been going all over the place. I've been everywhere, man. I'll tell you what. I literally have seen almost every state in the United States of America based on doing this show. Hey, look at that. And I came back to Toronto for a few days and I crammed in my summer into like a 10 day window where I got to, went to all these shows in a row. Like I saw Earth, Wind and Fire in Chicago on Monday.

You got the t-shirt. I got the t-shirt to prove it. Then I went to the Limp Bizkit show at the thing. And then I went to the Cypress Hill in, Souls of Mischief. I was gonna say hieroglyphics same thing, right? And then I ran into Mike Okay, so let me pick up the story and then we'll come back to you. Yeah, so I'm at The Toronto Festival of beer drinking Great Lakes beer, which we're drinking right now cam. I'm there with my so fresh I'm there. I was there with my wife and my daughter and her boyfriend at the time, but they have broken

up since that time. Wow. Whoa, whoa. That's breaking? Okay. Her heart was breaking. By the way, you know what's worse than having your heart broken? Your daughter's heart getting broken.

That's the worst because... What happened? She's not... Basically, he ended it and she didn't see it coming because things had been going very well. And she very much liked him. And I'm going to cry if I talk about it. Oh, no. My little girl's heart was broken.

Now what? She's going to Montreal on Saturday morning. She'll be OK. In fact, Monica is driving her to Montreal. Oh, so you're going to be home alone. I'll be. Well, I got two little ones with me. OK. I can drop them off at your place.

And the eight year old and the 10 year old. So I'm at Cypress Hill having a fucking blast. Great night. A guy comes up to me, Ryan Wollstadt, do you know that name? Sounds familiar. He covers the Raptors and the NBA for the Toronto Sun. Sure. He's a 90s hip-hop head. He's there wearing his Wu-Tang t-shirt, the same one he wore when he came by to visit me. Wow. Good of you to put him on blast for that. Yeah, but he put himself on blast for that. I think he did it on Twitter. So hanging out with Ryan Walsh and he goes, you won't believe who's here.

Guess who I just saw. Are you ready, Cam, for this? Because I don't know if you know the story. I will. Oh, I might have. You did share it, but I'll play along. Does this song mean anything to you, Stu Stone? Yes. Can what about you?

Well, give it a moment, give it a moment. I I know who it's about. I've never heard this song, but I'm aware of sort of who who else is in the picture here. Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe. So Ryan Walsh, that goes, Mike, you won't believe he's here. Samoa Joe is here. And I go, you know how you just search your brain's database for like, how do I know this name, Samoa Joe? And I come up empty. And I saw, so I said to my daughter, I said to my wife, I said, do you guys know Samoa Joe? They have no idea who fucking Samoa Joe is. So I look at my computer

and I find out Samoa Joe is a wrestler. And I'm, oh, that's Samoa Joe? They have no idea who fucking Samoa Joe is. So I look at my computer and I find out Samoa Joe is a wrestler and I'm, oh, that's exciting. Like to be at this concert and Samoa Joe is here. But then I put it in my mind and I thought, oh, I wouldn't know him if I saw him. I don't know him, whatever. But then fast forward, we're just waiting for Cypress Hill to take the stage.

And I see in the corner of my eye, I see an FOTM Hall of Famer, Stu fucking Stone. Yes. He's at Cypress Hill. It's a bigger deal than and I had no idea he was gonna be there. Yeah, so I run up to I sprinted over and I think I gave him a hug. I go Stu. We start chatting. I go Stu Monica's here. Michelle's here. Stu goes Mike. I want to introduce you to somebody.

I'm like, oh okay, who's going to introduce me to? He goes, Mike meets Samoa Joe. It seems like a Seinfeld. Like it's, it seems like it's not a real guy, but this is it. This is where it's wild. Okay. So I only learned Samoa Joe exists like 30 minutes before this moment. I, I didn't never heard of him, never knew Samoa Joe, but I learned from Brian Wollstatt that Samoa Joe had been spotted at souls of Mischief. And now Stu's introducing me to his friend, Samoa Joe. Clearly Stu's plus one or whatever at this event is Samoa Joe. And I look Samoa Joe in the eyes, I give him a handshake

and I put my other hand over his hand and I go, Samoa Joe, what an absolute pleasure it is to meet you. Like that, which is by the way, a greeting I've never given anyone in my entire life. In my life, I've met Chuck D, I can run down the names. You know, John's from the claims at the fucking door. Wendell Clark. I've never given that in Monica reminds me of it all the time. Cause I've never ever said these words. What an absolute pleasure it is to meet you. I just learned to exist. Like the hand sandwich, like the hand that

we're shaking the other hand. And I slow, I go, I look at It was like the hand sandwich. Like the hand that we're shaking. The other hand went up top. And I slowly go, I look at the guys like, yeah, like what an absolute pleasure it is to meet you. Yeah. I said that. What's the fuck the fuck the matter with you? Why did you do that? But it really was.

I don't know where it came from. It's not wrong. Samoa Joe is the man, first of all. He's one of the greatest guys you could imagine. We had a great time at that Cybersil show. We also went to see Green Day and... Oh shit, you're not kidding. Me and Smashing Pumpkins and Rancid together as well.

All the Lollapalooza bands. And we've been having a great time. Sorry, Samoa Joe went to that too. Yes. Wow. I've been hanging with him a ton. So is this a dark side of the ring thing? No, this is like a me and Joe are just buddies thing. Why, where does he live? He's in Toronto filming something.

Okay, because I'm just a put a bowl on the Cypress Hill thing. So now Stu's got to go. The show is going to start and I'm like right by Great Lakes because I'm drinking for free and Monica is drinking for free and Michelle is drinking. I was going to say she looked like she had a couple of freebies. Well, we took the go. So it was whatever.

Why not? So why not? It's legal. It's legal to drink beer at the festival of beer. Okay. But then I'm watching now fucking be reals coming on send dog. It's fucking great. DJ Lord is there.

I saw him with public enemy years ago. Sure. You know, cause terminator X retired to like raise ostriches or something on a, as one does. Yeah. So I'm, and I look on the stage and I can see ready for this cam guess who's on stage with Cyprus. Hell on the fucking stage. I'm going ready for this cam. Guess who's on stage with Cyprus? On the fucking state, I'm going to go with Stu Stone and Samoa Joe.

Well, I was I couldn't believe my eyes. I go to Monaco. I go look who's on the fucking shocking to still like why is that shocking? It's not shocking, but it's like Stu doesn't just go to a concert. Like he's on the fucking stage like when Andy goes and sees kids in the hall, kids on the block and the kids in the hall, the reunion. I actually, how did you get there? How do you know?

I actually had of I actually had a great conversation that night after the show with B Real, who is a very, very intelligent, tech savvy, live streaming individual. He is someone that is really a pioneer in this field. Tell him Chuck D's been on. I will, actually I will. But I will say that he was, he's very much up in this universe.

He would appreciate what you're doing, I'm sure. But he's been in this space for about 15 years, you know? He has been, so we had a great conversation about that. Amazing. Is he someone, I assume you'd had some encounters with him? Yeah. Past over the years, sort of in the scene. I feel like I ran in.

Well, no, he was also, he came on blowing up once and he, you know, he's been around, uh, you know, it's a small world out there. And was it, was your, your boy, uh, DJ lethal. He was there. You get to hang out. Yeah. So he was with Limp Biz. Yes.

That's okay. I went to the biscuit show. It was like Limpus. Yes, that's okay. I went to the biscuit show It was like the greatest night. Okay, that's amazing It was probably one of the best weeks ever because my buddy also plays earth wind and fire on Monday So every show I went to wait, wait, wait, sorry your buddies in earth when yes. Yes. Yes. His name is Serge He's been in the band for 12 years now. He is their guitar player So for the last thing so that week all my friends happened to be playing in the same week Yeah, and Samoa Joe was here filming

So it was just like a dream week of just having a great time and going to shows I read it he's living the light hems at the Limp Bizkit show as well and Someone came up to me and was like Stu Stone and I'm like, hey and he's like, I know you from Toronto Mike That's amazing. Yeah, and we got some great stuff happening at Seneca Polytechnic too. Let me. We can't get this. This is the difference. Okay.

No, this is like he hangs out with Carol Pope and some interesting people, right? Like, right. Rob is a star hanging out with these people. Absolutely. And he'll talk about Gord spoons and stuff like that. Sandy Horn and all these greats and stuff. But Stu Stone has, he's like, he's hanging with the late great. He was hanging with the late great Patrick Swayze, Bob Saget, also late great DJ

lethal. He's alive and well with us. You know, be real. Yes. Uh, you know, Samoa Joe, Samoa fucking Joe. These are some a listers here. Like no joke. Like we can't compete with that. I wish I could tell you some of these videos of these wrestlers that Stu sent me these like huge names. No, you would definitely know some of these guys. It's a really great season this season Mike and I'm very looking forward to telling you more about it in the coming weeks and just to put a bow on all of this. It's been a great year for Cam it sounds like. It's been a great

year for me. It's been a great year for you. I hope everybody's had a great year in the FOTM universe. I've missed them as well. Uh, Cam Brio, I don't know if he's still around, but well, I saw a comment about him on the live stream. I don't really hear about him. Well, he, I feel like you took a step back, but he was at TMI Lex 15. Oh, that's good. June 27. So June 27, he was all in. But since then he absolutely needed to look out for his mental health.

Well, as we do, as we do. And hopefully he found what he was looking for there. But I want to say a shout out to everybody for real, to him and everybody. And I have not forgotten about any of these folks. I think it's always great to run in, you know, meet people in the wild, as they say. And listen, if there is a time machine that is ever built and we go back in time and Mike doesn't go camping, maybe we're still here every week.

Yes, it is true. Maybe we're still here every week. Did you say time machine? Mike, did you say time machine? I did. I have a fucking time machine. Are you ready, Stu Stone? Sure.

For this time machine? You don't know this is coming, but fucking time machine. Okay, are you ready? Stu? Still sure for this time machine? You don't know this is coming but fucking time machine time I Hear my speaking voice there that guy was making That's like the moneymaker right there. Like 92 93. What's an orangey's voice? Literally the most successful I've ever been in my life is when you're hearing me talk. Tell the listeners, tell the FOTM what we just listened to. I am glowing and beaming right now. What a nice surprise. Cameron and myself, Cam Gordon and myself and our good friend, Ryan Pasternak and his brother,

the Bulldog and Stephen Joel Kersner shout out to our producer Also, and the guy who was our curtain jerker Mike Willner. Willner was there. Yeah Noble. Yes. Yeah, we had a show called overtime sports talk on Newton Cable and We were on for two years until we got thrown off the air. I think it's like four months No, no, it was, it was, well, two seasons, two seasons. Okay. Because we did a blue J season and we did the next blue J season and we got kicked off.

Right. Okay. So we probably started in ninth grade and we were kicked off by 10th grade. But we were we were hosting this show was a call in show and we were just went in there and like, I guess it was like a round table. I was, I did the facto sort of, I guess. I'm like in the middle. I'm in like the middle of the lucky pier, kind of like driving the bus. And like cam was sort of like our, uh,

stats guy, our intellect guy. He was like our guy that we went to. Do I have your consent to share that video on the Toronto Mike YouTube channel? I mean it would have to be a short clip. It's pretty short. It's pretty short. Like I need verbal consent from Gamm Gordon. It's fine. It's fine. It's okay. That's consent. I haven't given consent yet. I'd like to see the clip first. Yeah well I do have like four entire episodes. I think I shared it with you guys before. So like Stu does have these in his possession as well. Quick question. Have you considered Stu taking your younger person voice, that moneymaker,

and maybe using AI or something? You know what? That's genius. I've never thought about that. If you can make that happen, Mike, I'll split it with you. Hey, don't look at me. I'm kind of resisting the whole. So you feel like Ian Service could like figure that like, you know, are we going to task our show actually did pretty well to the point where we had the chutzpah, as we say. Yeah, it did.

We had the chutzpah to try to parlay it into a fan five 90 or 30, whatever it was at the time show and we went to a meeting. We took a meeting with. I don't remember who the meeting was with, but it was going really well. It wasn't Nelson Mill. I feel like I was saying so the Greg Sansone, maybe we had a meeting that they were going to give us like a Saturday morning time slot kind of thing.

And it was like a foot for kids by kids kind of like, that's kind of amazing. And then at the end of the meeting, they asked us like who are our favorite, like fan personalities were. And the name Roger Lijuan. Then the name Jim Hunt came up, the great Jim Hunt. And we started fucking going in on Jim Hunt.

Yeah. And then they were shooting on. We were like, we were like, we're better than shaky. And then they didn't think they we didn't end up getting the job. Yeah. Yeah, we can't but can't botch that one. Mike, I feel like as you did, you ever go to that studio on Holly Street? Never. Yeah, no, we were in there. Yeah. And then cam ended up going back there a year later with a David silver. Yeah. So he was, he was trying to get a radio show.

Yeah. Well they, they used to have the fan tryout camp on Thursday night. And me and this guy, uh, David silver, who we called evad, which another wrestling reference, but a friend named David silver when Stu's 902 and O appearance was as a friend of David silver. I know it's, it's, it's wild stuff. You know what? That's what Bob well, I can't compete with 902 and O appearances.

Did you just make that joke because he's friends with David silver and then I was with David silver, but that's the joke I literally just made. I was looking at the chat. He was distracted. That was literally the joke that he was friends with David Silver. Yeah. OK, good. I just want to make sure that I recorded it so Stu can catch up later. I don't think someone enters asking Zoodles commercial.

No, you weren't. I did. Zoodles were animal noodles. There's a tell all your friends tell the whole bunch. I just had a hippopotamus for lunch. The hippopotamus for lunch. Yeah. Before him, there's a kid. Tell all your friends. Tell the whole bunch. I just had a hippopotamus for lunch. I had a hippopotamus for lunch. Yeah. Before him, there's like this kid that kind of chews and he's got like.

He's got like all the shit. Yeah. He's got some shit on his face and stuff. I used to be mistaken for that kid. And at some points I just didn't even deny it because it was like so often it was happening where they're like, you're the guy from the Zoodles commercial. And finally I was just like, didn't you have like the safari hat? Yes. So that kid ends up doing another commercial with me.

Yeah. And now as an adult, he, his kids, my kids hockey, my nephew's hockey. And if he's like, yeah, so I see this guy, the Zoodles guy. How did you do the math that that's the Zoodle? Well, I know him and I know he's in the Zoodles commercial because me and him were all still wearing the hat. Yes. Do you guys remember Chickadee magazine and owl? Of course. Of course.

So I was in the commercial for chicken. Okay. So I was in the commercial where I dare, you know, retro Ontario should dig that up. But me and this guy, the Zoodles kid and me were in the chickadee and owl campaign, did a whole campaign together. And that's how I TV commercial. Yes. Wow.

Yes. Okay. Yes. Oh my God. Hey, so quick aside. Yes. Did you ever listen to the Blair Martin? Richard? I did listen to the Zoodles. Did you hear that moment early on when he asked me if I had heard of did I know the name of the Gary? Yeah, that's how I kind of feel now. When do you know owl and chickadee? I mean, it's okay. Do you remember highlights magazine? Of course. Yes. So cause the highlights was like a Christian, like it was wholesome.

It was high highlights. Magazine had a thing where like you have to like before where's Waldo, the highlights had like the back page. You know how like mad magazine had the fold and had the fold in like highlights had one in the back page that like, can you find this broom or like it would be like, where's Waldo? So the Highlights magazine was really fantastic for that. Then you had obviously Chickadee and Owl. Chickadee was a little babyish eventually.

Yeah. And Owl was for more mature. But there was one after Owl. There would be centerfolds. Yes, I'm going to get there. OK, OK. OK. Because I subscribed to that one.

Owl had like centerfolds and shit. It was a deer. Animal. Crisley bear. Owl was very like, you know, a little bit more fruit. had like centerfolds and shit. It was a dear animal. Chrisley bear. I was very like, you know, a little bit more. It was a little more proboscis monkey. Yes. Yeah.

My favorite. You know, they were the snow and it's I will had a like the owl form was a little risque. He would write in like racy letters to be for honey. Exactly. But their jazz festival, incredible. See, that's good stuff. Howl magazine was a little bit risque, right? They don't get you to high school. Absolutely.

She could, he was for a letter. She was lighter fare. Absolutely. But can you name the one after? graduated? Well, there's a couple. There's Games Magazine, which is like an American magazine. I don't remember that one. I remember, yes. No, I meant from the same company. Games Magazine. Like it was in the same like family.

So what are you talking about? It was, I'm trying to remember, World something or Planet something. I probably stopped, I probably went on to real Playboy after that. Like not by David Suzuki or anything, but it had that like. How was it gateway?

By David Suzuki for David Suzuki. Who's still with us by the way. Is he? We'll never shout out Ridley Fiery. or anything, but I had that like, how was it gateway? Who's still with us by the way, we'll never shut out Ridley. Why isn't he an FOTM? I don't know. I tried. I don't know. Uh, there's a few people that just slipped through the cracks, man. Uh, I don't know. I just recently scored, uh, the great Clive, uh, a Smith. It turns out Stu stone earlier in his career was in like a hundred Nirvana projects. The voice that you heard talking sports with Cam, that's the voice that Clive hired over and over and over again. And I'm telling you, me and Mike kind of talked about this already and obviously people can listen to the

episode, but you know Care Bears, the movie, Care Bears the movie, okay? Put Toronto on the map. If that movie doesn't come out, I might not have a career. You don't mean Toronto, you mean Toronto Animation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like cartoons, I'm saying. As far as like a hub, as far as like, Nelvena being like a Saturday morning cartoon operation. Well, the Care Bear movies makes Nelil vanna because they had the rock and roll

disaster in the care bear movies did so well that nil vanna became a Power player and for about five years they were neck and neck at the top of the game as far as like so so I would do care bears and my pet monster and Babar and Beetleju juice and babar the movie and Edison twins as he pointed out and they also did a mr. T live-action show called T T&T if you remember 100% of course Absolutely may have done dog city for all I know but TNT I got a note from Allen's why who enjoyed the Clive Smith episode and say He he once I think he directed an episode of TNT. Oh, that's funny. Or wrote one. There was a live action TV show called TNT.

No, that's what we're talking about. It's live action. Okay. But there's a cartoon, like a Mr. T. The Mr. T. cartoon is not Nelvana, but that was like, he had like a team of like gymnasts. Remember, Nelvana did Edison twins. Nelvana did the Edison twins. Huge, yeah.

Which is live action. Yes. Bob Saccharini. And as we've talked about in the past, the main kid from Edison twins was also Max the main kid for my pet monster Mind-blow nobody I did not know Had in the way I was to have with the wings is the voice of Max and my pet monster and if you rented to my pet

Monster live-action movie if I know people there was a live-, my pet monster movie that some of you may remember from the video store, the same kid was in that movie also. So the kid, there was a live action, my pet monster. Yes, I have no memory of those people that are going to know it in the chat room. We're like older. No, no, you're not older. It was before the cartoon. It was before the cartoon. He was born in the eighties. Remember that was in this. It was like, it was like Donald Sutherland and like, no, it wasn't that. I'm telling you, John Goodman, the fucking Christopher. There's like a real my pet monster video home video movie before the cartoon live action, live

action. And they had like a guy like a, like Billy Barty in the my pet monster suit. So sort of like an elf type gimmick. Yes. Okay. Yes. So people can, people can look that up. It just is like that Shazam thing? No, this is a real thing. And so like the same kids, this is a mind blow here. Okay. As in twins fucking, uh, lightning bolt hat kid. His name is sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny, best in thrasher. Yes. Cool. His name in the biz. I don't know what happened to him, That's huge, but I would like to say You know shout out to him and if he's around and he somehow hears this that'd be cool that that's going on Wikipedia Like that that's that's a big can we introduce the theme for this toast? Because this is a toast

Toronto Mic'd. And he's like, there's a documentary here. And I said, well, I don't know any much about documentary stuff, but I have a guy who makes great documentaries. He goes, who? And I start telling him about Stu stone. I'm like, he won't believe this guy. Donnie Darko directs his own movies. Uh, jack of all trades. I'm doing the whole, like I'm his agent or whatever. And he's like, Oh, can you introduce me to Stu? I'd like to have, I don't know, a coffee or something with Stu and talk about it. Then I don't have any updates since then. I just did meet. We, he's a member. Uh, we went, I don't have any updates since then. I just- We did meet.

He's a member. I met him at this like tennis club. Oh. I guess he is a member of this tennis club. It's a very, like a nice building. Sure. In the heart of the city. This Toronto tennis club, maybe it's called.

Is that possible? I'll ask Brian Gerstein. He's my tennis expert. I don't know much about this. We go to this tennis club and there's like a little clubhouse kind of area you can meet in where they can make you a sandwich and pour you a coffee, whatever. So did he buy you food?

I think he did. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We had a great conversation. At one point, he tells me that he's working on something with Kiss. Yeah. He's friends with who and Kiss?

Not only is he friends with who and kiss, he FaceTimes who and kiss and who and kiss answers the phone. Gene Simmons. Yes, and he puts him on the phone. He's a tennis fan too, Gene Simmons. Brian Gerstein came on this program and talked about meeting Gene Simmons at a... Like the US Open?

Something like that. Yeah, he puts me on the phone with Gene. I feel like I've heard that. Wait a minute, that, this... Right there. He hasn't put me on the phone with Gene. He put me on the phone with Gene. I feel like I've heard that. Wait a minute, that this... Right there. He hasn't put me on the phone with Gene? Put me on the phone with Gene. Wow.

We had a great conversation, Gene and I. About what? He wants to do a film also. I'm learning this now for the first time. So I connected you to Keith. You did. Now you're talking to Gene Simmons. Keith was very cool.

And then how it left off, he connected me with Rob Butler and I connected with him briefly. But then the Dark Side of the ring show, there he is. Rob Butler signed the ball. Cause the John Hancock. So the dark side of the ring show got, uh, picked up as we say, like you picked up that ball and, uh, and so now I've been had to step away. So I will, I will definitely back when I'm done dark side, revisit that. Yeah.

And, uh, you're the perfect guy for that job, but that was really a small world. And that guy's the real deal, bro The owner of the of the Toronto Maple Leafs team. He is the real thing I forget what his story is. I know the other owner some Meg Meg my magna Yeah, it's okay about that, but there's that world and then he had Krispy Kreme Canada, oh, that circle right there. Yeah, it's okay. Ask MF about that. That's what I am. But there's that world and then he had a Krispy Kreme Canada. Oh, that's right. He started a Pro Padel league that I was involved with for the inaugural season.

Tip of the spear type guy. I met Sebastian Giovinco at one of those parties. He is just like the real thing, the real deal. He's a straight shooter. We had a great conversation. I thought we made a good impression on one another. Ask Kiefstein who, what's his favorite podcast? That's the question to ask him.

You wanna know the answer? What? Toronto Mike. Oh, I thought it was gonna be the Barbel Poluskiewicz. Bob's basement. Poluskiewicz one. Like Ben Shapiro. What was the Poluskiewicz?

Josh Shapiro. No tech talk, no tech talk. Tech talk. Didn't she show up here looking like Elvira Wanzer? Am I imagining that? I know that happened Halloween special. Absolutely. Multiple times.

She's like, directed by Clive. You still hanging out with Atkins? I am. How's he doing these days? He's good. Don't believe what you read. This guy's... I don't have to.

I just read. I watch the games. Yeah, it's OK. I'm not real. I don't just like them personally. Listen, baseball is a very streaky game. You know? And teams... How many playoff wins since they arrived? I mean, there's a lot of team including 2016

Probably 26 other teams that have the same problem. Everybody wants to be in the playoffs. Not everybody can be in It's and this year was not our year the official apologist for things that things that look good on paper The game gets played on the field and it didn't you know, we go it happens doesn't it? What are they gonna do? What are they gonna do with one game? Yeah, do you know, it happens. Doesn't it? What are they going to do? What are they going to do? If I take it one game at a time, do you have any insight? I don't have any insight directly from management, but I would say that, you know, they're certainly a very good team with bow on it. And if they're going to try to compete next year,

it would be hard to imagine a team without bow on it. Unless there's some sort of, I know you're friends. I know you're friends with them. Yes, I know that friendly. Yes. Look me in the eyes. Yes. Do you think the Toronto Blue Jays are a playoff contender in twenty twenty five? I think if the front office has their wish, then yes, that's not they have their wish. Forget it. Wishes Vlad plays the way he's playing now. Carlos Delgado had a hell of a run with Roy Halliday. And they didn't get a sniff of the fucking play. Ernie Clement seems like he's playing now. Carlos Delgado had a hell of a run with Roy Halliday. He's retired.

Ernie Clement seems like he's a good piece. Will Wagner could be something. He seems to be. Yeah, so a son of a borderline. Spencer Horowitz seems like something. Nice Jewish boy. You have a lot of interesting things happening. You still have your pitchers coming back for the most part.

Who knows what's going to happen with Kukuchi. Former World Series MVP, you know, and you got potentially Alec Mano taking another kick at the can next year. Who knows about him? Francis looks like a real guy the last couple of weeks. American League Player of the Week.

This team you're describing doesn't put any fear. Listen, if they bring in a one Soto or a Pete Alonso or somebody like a big time bat that's going to shut everybody up Joey Vato Then maybe they'll do that. I would imagine that They know more what they're doing than we do. I hope so. Yeah

Cam do you think we could get to the first jam get the jams going and before we do they're like we'll probably cover this On FOTM cast but can I just ask you a question Mike? Of course, and I know the answer already but your reaction to the the the beta test of word association Remind me this came from Michael Lansberg with Vince with Vinsic man talk about rust. Okay, so we were gonna introduce this for Leona Boyd There's some inside baseball for the listenership. So we had discussions on the FOTM listenership. So we had discussions on the FOTM WhatsApp group that Stu doesn't contribute to. We talked about introducing the Michael Landsberg, Vince McMahon method to Leona Boyd's return to

Toronto Mike, which is in the calendar. It's happening. But I wanted to test it out and I had Peter Gross coming on. I have an update on Peter Gross in a minute. So Peter Gross, I said, okay, I'm going to try it with Peter. Perfect guy to do it with, because he cannot tell a lie. He told stories he probably shouldn't have told. And he was the ideal word association guest. I mean, it can never be as good as that again. Yeah. Well, who's the first one that's at McKinney?

Like, just who like threw off his clothes and said, say hi to Deenie Petty. And that was like the first one. It's like perfect. And the Jim Taddy one, like I was over here like, oh hi to Deeney Petty. And that was like the first one. It's like perfect. And the Jim Taddy one, like I was over here. Oh, God. Yes. You know, the Jim Jim Taddy like John Saunders.

Was it John Saunders? He commits to it like I don't. I don't actually. I also say for the record, I still don't know how we lost John Saunders. I know he was great guy. People, you know, gone too soon. I don't know. But when he said that, I was like, whoa, I don't know anymore.

In the spirit can, before we go into the song, can we play one round of word association with you? I brought something. I just want to see how you react. Is the first name gonna be Jennifer Valentine? No, okay. I'm gonna hold up something and just, what comes to mind?

Okay. And then I'm gonna give this to you and then it's gonna be yours to keep. Okay, but I'm no Peter Gross. Yeah. What do you think of mind? Okay. And then I'm going to give this to you and that's going to be yours to keep. Peter Gross. Yeah. What do you think of that? I was invited to a, so that that's a former Maple Leaf, Mike Bullard, but I was invited to an event this weekend called Mississauga Legends Row. Right. Seymu Liu. Okay. You know

I have no idea. Can we get an update live? I don't know where he is, but his brother will be on the Miss Saga legends, but this is a long winded way of saying another guy who's going to be on legends row is JD Roberts.

And I wrote the PR person and said, I will happily celebrate your event if you can get me a one-on-one with JD Roberts. And she says she'll try. So this is like the Toronto walk of fame.

What the fuck is this? This is in person. Okay. What do you look at? So who else? No, we're just looking at like bullet bullet bullets up to because I want to get JD Roberts. Who else is there?

Is this like a walk of fame? It's kind of like that. Yeah, okay. It's legends, right? Yeah, legends are on. Yeah, Bullards got bonafides, I think.

And then at the end of the day, I'm going back to the hotel and one of my colleagues who is like a camera, the director of photography will say is keep things above board. There's a bar across the street with live music. Oh, do you want to go check out the band that's playing? Yeah, who's playing? Wait, do we guess? Yeah, I guess. What's the woman from Portlandia?

So is there another Canadian super filled with a bunch of people from different groups that came together to make a super group? Oh, broken social. Yes. Oh wow. Okay.

So I walk into this bar. I got to see them in a bar. That's the point of the story. So Broken Social Scene was Kevin Drew there? Yes. Because people are wondering what happened to Gore Downey's ex-wife's album that was Kevin Drew.? Yes. Cause I'm, people are wondering what happened to a Gore Downey's, uh, ex-wife's, uh, album.

What's the chance of you going this year? I'm going to be at MF's a cottage.

Sorry. Yeah. We had a great, and we also, did you marry MF for the cottage? Be honest. No, of course not. She married him for the legs. the cottage. Yes. Um, no, of course not. But she married him for the legs. But Mike, we had a great night at Ronnie's local six oh six. You bought me an octopus wants to fight on the patio. It started to rain. Yeah, it was a

great day. It was a great Toronto night. Yeah, it was. We both biked opposite directions. It was amazing. It was amazing. We haven't played one song. Hey, can we get to this seriously? I'm already tired. Absolutely. Song songs. Cam, any words before your first song song? Well, again, I do want to say off the top, I had a different choice that had the word songs, songs. I called you out on it. You said it.

And Stu, just so you know, that means we're not hearing, was it Billy Ocean, sad song, say so much. Oh no. No, they'll be sad songs. They'll be sad songs. They'll be sad songs. That's a great song. I know it is. But it's not a song song.

It's a song. It's a song. I was very upset with that. Luckily, I've got three other great jams, including this one right off the top hit. I like it in the headphones. Stu, name that tune. It's got the word song in it. That's a clue.

Just another sad love song. Very good. You know what? That's amazing. That's impressive. Is that what it is? Yeah. That's amazing that you did that.

I couldn't have done that at this point. Wow. I love that Cam just has this R&B soft spot from the night. Well, these were huge songs. Yeah. I just can't picture you jamming out to this. But now that I do, it makes me happy to know that this is in your wheelhouse.

Well, it's not so much that as we know, just at the time Top 40 songs were kind of unavoidable. Whether you liked it, disliked it, had no opinion of it, they were just in your life, including Tony Brax's. Yes, this sounds like Babyface had to have written it. It sounds like a Babyface song. Yeah, is it? Written and produced by Darrell Simmons and Babyface. Yeah, this sounds like a Babyface song. Absolutely.

Just another set of songs. But is this one of your three favorite songs of song in the title? I guess so. Well, I don't see you digging this song. I don't think that's the exercise. It's just- Oh, just naming any three songs or songs. I think it's more songs would be fun to talk about.

But you gotta dig them. Yeah. Cam digs this. Well, let's just say this is a good song. He once came on the show and played SWV. My wife was that, okay. That's also a great song. Monica recently went to see Queens of R&B.

Right. And SWV was one of the escape artists. They're great. Yeah, it's a good era. Anyway, this is a good example of a song that everyone knows, probably knows all the words, but I don't really think we hear much anymore. No. And I feel like take a step back. Even Tony Braxton under remembered because she was fucking huge. She was. She had a lot of issues though. Some financial problems, financial issues, bankruptcy. Tried to get out of her record deal and da da da da da. Kind of like the same kind of stuff that happened with TLC happened to her as well. Yeah. Like she sold all these

records and somehow had no money and she's got a sister and her family. It looks very, very. We're going to get to that. OK, the second. Yeah. So this was the lead single in the opening track from her self-titled album. 1993, her first top 10 song only went to number seven on Billboard. I would have thought this was maybe a number five, if not number one. Like this is a big fucking hit. It was a big fucking hit. Yeah. I would have thought this was maybe a number five if not number one like this

is a big fucking hit. That was a big fucking hit. Yeah, she did later. I have two number one songs. Do you guys want to guess what? Yeah, let's guess sure one Tony Braxton. I know one for sure. I get so hot when I'm around you baby. I'm breaking. I break my heart. That's one that jumps to my mind. What's the other one? Unbreak my heart. Say you love me again. That's a good one. So it's not I get so high? I get so high when I'm around you baby.

No, no, no, no. I can't touch the sky. Oh, you're making me high. You make my temperature high. Yeah, you're making... Okay, yes, yes, yes. Is that the other one? Yes, yes.

Okay, good. Yeah, you guys got it. Yes. Very good. I feel great. Okay, but to give you a sign post for playboy, didn't she? She posed for chickadee and how, but I feel like she was in playboy or her sister was, or maybe Vanessa Williams was, I don't know. Definitely was lost her. So to give you a sense of how popular she is now, so just for frame of reference,

she has 4.5 million Spotify monthly listeners. For comparison, again, 4.5. The Spin Doctors, 5.2. Third Eye Blind, 5.9. Seal, in French, and fuck. 4.7. I kinda like how you bring these stats to the table. It really puts it in perspective.

So like, again, she seems massive. What about Stu Stone? I feel like the spin doctors should be less than Tony Brackton. I feel like it's like all two. How many? Just quickly, how many Spotify spins for this one? Probably not that many. Is this Circle, Circle, Back? Yeah.

My daughter still loves it. She does? It's a good chance. I'm kind of surprised that it never had like a TikTok resurgence or something like, you know? Especially in the COVID pandemic. Like it literally could still happen. It could still happen.

You never know. You never know. Did Decisive have anything to do with this song? No. Mike, have you ever heard of the show Braxton Family Values? No. No, but I remember my first wife show Braxton Family Values? No. No, but I remember my first wife had Braxton Hicks and we had her in the emergency thinking

she was giving birth to our first child. But it wasn't, it was not labor. It was called Braxton Hicks. Braxton Hicks. Okay. Anyway, totally different thing. Nothing to do with Tony Braxton. Braxton Family Values was a reality show.

It chronicled the lives of the Braxton sisters, Toni, Tracy, Tawanda, Trina. Was was a reality show. It chronicled the lives of the Braxton, Braxton sisters, Tony, Tracy, Tawanda, Trina, and Tamara and their mother, Evelyn. This is a reality show. Kind of like how like Whitney Houston's family was all singers and stuff. The Braxtons were all they were like the Partridge family. They were all singers. And Tony was the one that was like Michael Jackson. Yeah, absolutely.

Are you supposed to hit the G, the hard G on the word singer? Singer? Sure. I say singer. But are you supposed to hit the G? I guess you're talking about Brian Singer. But I would say that Bill Singer. Do you picture no hitter against the X-Men? You know, you think of the movie The Bodyguard. Yeah. And there's like all the time. It's it's almost like that movie you've never seen it never seen the bodyguard Wow no I've never seen any Harry Potter movies I never saw either no I saw the bodyguard several times I'm a human being I did cam Gordon see the body of course he did no you didn't fucking okay well you two are the only people that haven't seen the bodyguard everybody else it's like in chat room, press 1 if you've seen the bodyguard.

I only saw Top Gun for the first time three years ago. I'm telling you, you'll see at least 90% of the people in the chat room right now have seen the bodyguard. Okay, not seeing a lot of ones, but okay. You will, there's a delay. The bodyguard plot has Whitney Houston's sister is sort of, like, spoiler. Now you guys haven't seen it, but you have no plans to. The sister kind of turns heel on her. Oh, shit. And is like trying to, you know, she's kind of like, spoiler, now you guys haven't seen it, but you have no plans to, the sister kind of turns heel on her.

And is like trying to, you know, she's kind of like the jealous sister, like how Richie Valens has like the jealous brother in La Bamba, you haven't seen that one. The guy from Boogie Nights. Yeah, I'll take your word. It's not the guy from Boogie Nights. No, it's not, I can't.

So we got a couple ones, couple twos. And anyway, it's kind of like how you feel like the Braxton family could be in real life. Like the sisters are kind of like, that reality show, even though I haven't seen it. I can only imagine that the drama wouldn't be because the sisters are kind of bitter that like Tony is like the fucking right. And there's what five of them? Yeah. Can I say one more fun fact about she dated a birdman birdman like the rapper?

Yeah. Huh. So there you go yeah pot bottles good jam. Okay, so Tony Braxton Lee, who would have guessed that Tony another sad love song is just another song. She had a very low. What do you call that like a baritone auto alto alto? I don't tune. Is she an alto? I think so. I think she's got that like low tone. Because soprano is higher pitched or whatever.

I don't know. One of the most famous kind of low vocalists of the era. Yeah, she was good. She was good. And not too sore on the eyes either. Yeah, there you go. Actually I see Tobias von in the chat room. Can I send a special message?

Yeah, go ahead. This guys, you can, you guys can talk amongst yourselves. I got Tobias Vaughn a ticket to see Cypress Hill. Oh yeah. So should, and Milan too. So I, I, I, in a random episode, I embedded just one sentence. I said, Hey, if you want to see Cypress Hill, send me an email. I just dropped it in one episode and Tobias Vaughn heard that and sent me a note and he got a free ticket to see Cyprus. Anyway Tobias I was on a bike downtown today and I drove by a pharmacy was called Mr. Pharmacist which sounds legit his favorite band the fall

I remember talking so there's a place called Mr. Mr. Pharmacist go check it out near like Moss Park area oh yeah this is where Kim's convenience was yeah exactly very very close yeah mr.ist, tough neck of the woods. Actually a lot of addiction. It's wild. You know what's really wild about that area because I did a lot of my post prep. I did a lot of post production on my film in that right on that don't have ghosts. Yes, can't wait to see it and there's like a school on one side of the street and across the street you have,

I don't even know what's going on on the other side of the street. Well, I bike the, yeah. But it seems like a recipe for not something bad to happen. Well, I biked the Sherborne Bike Lane. I was gonna say, it's one of the better bike lanes. It's a great bike lane, Sherborne. Like I use it to go up there.

That's what it is. But it is kind of frightening. But you gotta be careful because it's starting to look like East Hastings in Vancouver. But like, but that's, There's like a school right there Yeah You got like kids playing in the yard and like these guys across the street like looking at them in a weird way that I did Not like well, I don't think they want the kids but they're addicts who are struggling

You know what used to be right there a chart magazine office like in one of those like sides used to write for chart Yeah, they used to go they were to pick up CDs and stuff amazing compact discs. Yeah Yeah, I used to go there to pick up CDs and stuff. Amazing. Compact discs? Yeah. I have one right here. It says Steve Stone and Jim Kennedy. By the way, that band is called Permilla.

That's my band that's going to be playing on Friday at El Macabo. But do you know someone in the band? I work with them. OK, but like as a consultant? Exactly. Like we'll say management type of thing. How about Kim Fowley? I have so much to learn.

Wow. OK. I want to kick out a jam. I waited a long time to kick out a jam with you guys. Maybe you can get that band to be on your show sometime. That'd be nice. Well, we'll see, learn. Wow. Okay. I want to kick out a jam. I've waited a long time Maybe you can get that band to be on your show sometime. That'd be nice mom. We'll see you man We'll see I would do anything for Stu Stone. Okay, here's my first song song, but I won't do that. Oh Of course interstate It's very nice Mike, I didn't write the song just play me

It's very nice, Mike. I didn't write the song. I'm just playing it. Two, three, four. Now this song used to be like super edgy and someone just asked about the movie The Crow, which I think another one of their songs... Ready for this? Yeah, that's Big Empty. Yeah, but this now song kind of reminds me of like a Chevy commercial or something now, which is sad.

I've also never seen The Crow. Oh, you haven't? No. There's like a remake of The Crow. But have you seen The Crow with Brandon Lee? I mean, I saw it back then, but I, it wasn't like, I understand on a wrestling perspective that he was, that movie movies a huge influence on the sting Absolutely the stinger. Yeah, and then Mike you remember who the only Canadian artists on the crow soundtrack Matthew

We look with this came up episode Yes That's a fun. That's a fun fact. That's a fun fact. She isn't kids. She doesn't give a shit I can no longer you know, this is the big development since you guys were here I can no longer say the sentence I've been saying which is The director of Mimi on the beach would go on right to father the greatest olympic The most decorated Canadian Olympian of all time speak of which I didn't really watch you. What did I watch? I watch every well, she was only in relays. Were you a big Olympics fan?

I watched every minute of the fucking Olympics. I watched it all. So you're the guy. I love it. I'd love it. Hook it to my veins. I may not have seen the crow or the bodyguard, but I watched a lot of Summer Macintosh. But Andre DeGrasse has tied Penny Oleksiak for most decades.

He had a really nice relay there. That was fun. Absolutely. Have you ever tried to get him in the basement? No, I bet you could get him down here easily. I don't know. I haven't tried. I go through Rob Black. I'm more interested in the Blair Richard, Blair Martin, Richard Blair, Richard Martin. What is it? Wayne and Schuster. If he's with us anymore. Okay. So let me talk about my jam. Yeah. Interstate love song. Are all the songs that we picked from the 90s? Well, let's find out.

Okay. That's part of the experience. Maybe. So here's a pop quiz for you guys. This is the third single from Purple, which is their second album, Stone Temple Pilots. Third single. Can you name the first two singles? Vaseline.

Vaseline. Vaseline was the second single. Really? Yeah. I bet I know with unglued. No, was that a song that wasn't a single though? It was a song, but it was a good song, but it was not a wasn't big easy or whatever. Big empty. It was big empty. Okay, so those were your three singles coming off of this excellent album. I love core. I loved core. Cool album art too. Yeah, I love. I love to Storm Temple Piles. Can you name the three singers in the history of stone

temple pilot? Is there a bedding? So we'll go in order though. Scott, Wylan, Scott, Wylan, shout out to really funeral home. Then now it's like a female singer. No, yeah, it is. No, do your research. Yes, it is. No, there's a female singer and they're playing in Toronto in like a couple weeks. Literally, like for years now, the lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots is a guy named Jeff Gutt. I saw a video on Instagram of a girl singing with him.

X Factor, he did those kind of shows. He was an X Factor. Like a Lucas Rossi type. Yeah, that's exactly correct. So Jeff Gutt is the third lead singer because the DeLeo, the DeLeo band, right? So Leo. Yeah. I can't remember the DeLeo's for Leo, Leo DeLeo. That would be a great name,

but this was, oh, I fucking love this song. And I didn't love the question. Okay. So Mike, this concert coming up, Leo, DeLeo, you said not Leo DeLeo. So you got the Leo, Jeff DeLeo, Google it from Dom DeLeo Tom DeLouise. So you got, so you got the stone Temple Pilots 2024. You got live. They broke up before they got back to it like they got back together. But they broke up like the Fugees, like it didn't happen. It's like the Ed from Lafayette and the old Chuck and you got the grand

car and Soul Asylum's playing and you got our lady piece. Those four bands. Okay. Rain is my buddy now by the way. How much money would you pay to go to see that? Or would you pay anything? If you had a free ticket, would you go? Hey, break them down, go one by one real quick. Okay, go.

Okay. Stone Temple Pilots with a new singer. Not that, I'm actually like a Scott guy. Like I'm actually not that interested in Stone Temple Pilots with Scott Wyland. You would, right. How about Ed, like quote unquote live? Well, I only kind of dug three singles from live. Like I had more than a three. Is there a fourth that you know, there were more because there was that one with

the dolphins. Wait, yeah. So there were three singles off of throwing copper. Yeah. Like I love you. Lightning crashes, but there was a third, I think. The selling the drama. Yeah. Selling the drama. Yeah. Wait. How did it go? Over there.

I'll wait. I'll wait. That's it. It won't be new. So guys, that's three big singles from throwing copper. OK, so we got there. Took away. And then then you had the dolphins cry and all that.

See, the other guys don't do this on the day. You know, they don't actually. So well, part part of the thing there is I don't know if like sometimes we play a song like interstate love song and Rob looks at me and goes I've never heard that song before and then I realize oh like not everybody listens.

Yeah he's got like incredible like gaps. He's got like a prodigy. He's he's way up here like so he's not going to waste his time with fucking stone temple pilots. I feel like the 90s he was like pure waste his time with fucking Stone Temple Pilots. I feel like the nineties, he was like pure musical theater. Yeah, like Phantom of the Opera.

He was just a fucking pussy, yeah. I mean, this guy at 15 years old was on CBC for being a musical prodigy. Rob Bruce. Oh yeah, of course. So he's got that, the pedigree, then he's working on Broadway. He's not gonna waste his time knowing the three singles

from Throwing Copper by Lies. That's because he has three singles of his own He's working on by the way Stu like snuck something in here. They need to probe on a bit. Whoa From our lady. Can I watch guys? Yeah, you're gonna you're gonna do a little club. I Have you know rain and his wife Chantel who's a future FOTM? Yeah, so I had a conversation about that last week Yeah, so I'm working with them on a project, uh, developing a project with them. Is it like a is he into like BNF T's and if he's has I have not spoken about the NFL for the same family. I know that he was trying to do something in an FTS,

but that's not was big. That's not what you're working on them, but that was big news. All the idea. I don't know how they did with that, but have you chatted with David Usher? No. Also sort of in the crypto creative space. No, I did have a lovely dinner with Rain and Chantal with myself and Adam Rodness. Okay. And we had a great talk with them and they're quite a captivating couple. And sure. It's like they're both like powerhouses, obviously in the industry. And I obviously was a big Our Lady Peace fan. Yeah, of course.

And they, you know. We all were. They are interested in doing some stuff. So we're trying to do some stuff with them. Okay, good. I'm always trying to do stuff, Cam, you know that. Yeah. Just come work for me, nevermind Seneca.

Yeah. We should have a podcast where Stu just tells us like who we had lunch with, who we had coffee with. Yeah. All this stuff. Yeah. Stu. Yeah. You got a song song? Yeah, okay, so I'm gonna coffee with, all this stuff. Yeah. Stu, you got a song, song request? Yeah, OK, so I'm going to stick with the 90s here.

And there's actually a little bit of a story here, because I can remember I was doing this cartoon program called The Magic School Bus right around this time. So obscure. And when I'm in there, I remember walking into the studio and the kid that plays Arnold At the first Arnold there's two Arnold's now The second one is Danny Tamburelli from Pete and Pete big Nickelodeon show the first one Amos Crawley is the guy's name legendary kid actor

he is wearing a Cardigan will say like a blue cardigan and he's wearing like the buddy Holly glasses He's got the whole fucking thing going and I'm like, what is this guy doing and all like nine starts No, he was probably like 12. Okay, you know, this is like 94. Yeah. Yeah, and he's like, you know, he's got a whole fucking Thing going here and I'm like what's going on here? And then he starts like singing this song and then all the kids started singing the song They all loved the song and I was like, what are you singing? And it was like then we I had a car so he had a CD so I went and you know

I had the disc many had to put the tape in the thing in the trunk. No, like the adapter, you know Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah lighter those were the Yeah, so I had the cassette adapter with like a little disc men sure and I had like a little like on a you know like a tray that you can stick your hands yeah, but you know how you can have like on a wobbly kind of like you could put your disc men on like a just don't go over shock absorber because it's gonna bounce yes yeah so I had that I'm with this guy And and so I put in the CD and this is the song that they played me. Oh, Oh, wow.

No, Cam, I know what you're going to say. Does it count if the song is in parentheses? Well, this is not in parentheses. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Go to the actual title. Well, this is not in parentheses. Yes it is. No it's not. Go to the actual title. Go to the official title.

It's a dash. Because the singer of the band hates parentheses and did not want it to be a parentheses. He's an anti-parent, anti-parenthesis thing. You can look that up, brother. Oh, you son of a bitch. I don't comment the fake facts. I comment the real shit. It's not in parentheses.

It's definitely not in parentheses. It's a dash. And remember, this is the same... I just want Cam to acknowledge. Yeah, there's no dash. And remember this is the same. I just want Cam to acknowledge. Yeah, there's no parentheses here. No, you're right. The title of the song is Undone the Sweater Song. Yeah, and this song.

It's a great song. Not only did this song launch Weezer, and I'm going to go on the record and say that one of the best albums of the 90s, on the record and say that one of the best albums of the 90s, Pillar to Post, Bell to Bell, Song 1 to the final 32 minutes later song, a quick hit. The Weezer Blue album for My Money, Pound for Pound could be the best, could be. Excellent. Arguably the best. And it opens with My Name is Jonas. Yes. From like Club 102. I'm telling you right now, brother, from start to finish, I can't even argue.

It's hard to beat the Blue album. Sadie Sow is on that fucking album. It's hard to beat that album. It is so good. And they toured so perfectly at that era where you would get to see them at the warehouse or wherever. You take your car away.

And they would play the whole record and the show would take an hour. You'd go home. And be moshing. Yeah, it was, I loved Weezer And that was my introduction from working on the Magic School Bus. How about that? Now here's some other things the world also got introduced to Spike Jones the director

This is true went on to do amazing things because he directed the time. He directed the sweater video He directed of course, buddy Holly. Yeah, he went on to do the jackass movies He did I believe being John Malkovich, if I'm not mistaken. Prolific, prolific director. I feel like Sabotage was before Buddy Holly, though. Wasn't it? It may have been.

Buddy Holly was next level. It was from Ill Communication, so the one after Check Your Head. Actually, like, look, it's not up there. I was pointing to the Check Your Head sticker, but that's not the album, actually. It's the one after Ill Communication. So there's some fun facts about this if you'd like to know but this was their debut Single this is the first song we ever heard from yeah

Yeah, it was supposed to be a sad song and it turned out to be sort of like this sort of happy anthem great As a lot of Weezer songs tend to be it's one of those If you really listen to the words, sometimes it's not things aren't as they seem. But this is a very poetic song, you know, if you pull the string on the sweater and you keep pulling, eventually he'll be naked. Absolutely. You know, because the sweater will be undone. Yeah, it's a lot of symbolism. Originally, the song was called Undone. The band called it the Sweater Song because fans would show up at concerts and say, are

you going to play the Sweater Song? And so the record company was like, well, we can't call it. And then people are not going to look for it and find it. You got to call it the Sweater Song. They spent 60 grand on the video. They hired a pack of dogs. They did a slower speed kind of video. If you ever saw the far side video where they wrap backwards, right?

Kind of like, yeah, but this is is this is them doing it in slow motion Which is a technique that we have seen a million times since like I can see Shania Twain a million times Here goes slowly. Yeah, it has become a thing Remarkably the song only went to number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100, which surprises me. I've written by Rivers Cuomo and produced by Rick Okasek. Rick Okasek also produced R.I.P. Not a Surf. Yeah, popular, which is a song that I also like, but this song reminds me of not a surf. Very Weasery. Of course, and they have a talk in the beginning. This song was their attempt at writing a velvet underground type song

Which kind of makes sense if you listen to the opening again, you don't have to but there's like talking going on and there's some Ambience yeah, there's some kind of stuff happening. Why not? And that is my song that I was going to tell you about the sweater song and I love Weezer and I specifically love the Blue album. I agree with everything you said. Blue album, a playthrough, probably still my favorite Weezer album. I also for the record like Siamese Dream is a playthrough album as well, but that's a different conversation. Well there's a lot of playthroughs. I mean Nevermind is a good playthrough album. Ten is a good playthrough album. Yeah, 36 Chambers. Purple's pretty good.

Nasilmatic. Oh Purple, yeah yeah yeah. But Weezer is a playthrough that's actually higher up on the list just due to the fact that the whole album's like 30 minutes. You know what's a good play? Dookie is a good play. By the way, Green Day played the entire Dookie album at the last concert. It was so cool. I felt like I was in a time machine. Love it. Farbsy. What's the word? Yeah, I've seen him recently too. They're still great. I heard he was a stalker. Who? Farmspeed. Of who? I thought- He does, he does. We'll talk about that off.

I need more details on that. Anyone I know. Was there a mob? Smash by Offspring is a playthrough. Smash. I remember seeing them at the Varsity. Is that a possible- At the Arena?

Yeah. Is that like a U of T or something? Yeah. I took exams there. I thought it was at like by the C&E, whatever that was that was a different maybe that was great. That was Green Day I was not at these shows by recall. I saw me the aero hall once near the airport well, um Washing the fetus washing it green day, not really no, okay. Everyone's like 40, right? It's a different thing

There's no more answered went on first and they had a set for about like 20 minutes Wow, and it was just like wow, but ranted playing at this stage in the game It was like it was sold out I felt like Green Day probably saw a Foo Fighters show and we're like hey we could do something like that Because it's a very Foo Fighters kind of energy. Yeah. If you've ever been to a food fighter show, it's like almost like you're almost seeing like a bar band, you know, like they have so much fun. They do covers. They just nonstop. Green Day did that for two and a half hours.

If you ever went to the Guns N' Roses shows in the last 10 years, how they did play like every song that imagine everything they did the same thing like they left nothing to your imagination. Oh, Cam and I had a discussion before the mid-year show, whether he would play, do they know it's Christmas? And I said, Cam, I said, it's August. He's not playing, do they know it's Christmas? But Cam thought maybe he would.

I thought, well, again, cause I said like when Paul McCartney played Coachella, he played a wonderful Christmas time. So like it wouldn't be unprecedented. Well, that is surprising. I mean, it is easily that guy's most famous song. All right. But he did not play. Correct.

Do they know it's Christmas? What was the thing I said it was going to update Wikipedia? That was like bothering me. I want to like update in real time. August in everything as well. Andrew wrote. Is that the cranberries? No, that's Counting Crows. I knew it was a C.

I thought it was Warm on Counting Crows. That's a good album. I like that. That's a good album. Yeah, I'm into it. Yeah, I like that. a Warmont County Crow. That's a good album. Yeah, I like that. Well, shout out to Brad Jones at Ridley funeral home. Mr. Jones, they call him.

You could literally throw a rock and hit his fucking building from here. But don't do that. He's probably at Honey Harbor. He'll know who did it if he's vandalized. I want to kick out a second jam from Cam Gordon. Any words before I kick out this FOTM jam? I would say this song is... This is a lot of fun. This is like right around the same vintage. We should do this every month.

It's like riding a bike. Why don't we do this every month? Doesn't it feel like we never stopped doing it? Like that's how quickly we get back in here. Why don't we do this every month? Yeah. How can you do that? Can we do it every?

Well, I have two different channels. Like both happen every month. So it's been like two years. So there'll be two toasts every month. We'll talk about it. There'll be the Rob and Bob toasts. We'll talk about it. And the Cam and Studio.

We'll talk about it. I love them both equally. So you're going to like litigate this with like Robin Bob. Yeah, of course. I don't want to live my life without Robin Bob. This would be a separate stream. This might be a twenty twenty five thing. Take a pin.

That's a good color because the last episode was like body of water. Some stream. Yeah, that was good. Stick a pin in it. By the way, you took a huge shit on Donovan in that. Bailey? No, like Donovan, like the British. Yeah, the whoochie coochie man, whatever. Yeah, Donovan.

It's Herdy Gertie. Herdy Gertie man. So not Charo. My connection to Herdy Gertie man is, I used to listen to Howard Stern on Terrestrial Radio. He's on WBUF out of Buffalo and I would listen to him. And he and his Howard Stern band did a cover of Hurty Gurty Man.

Like that's my, anyway, I didn't mean it. It was a bit snoozy. He was massive in the UK though. I guess your jams are your jams. I'm sure he was big, but that song by Donovan wasn't even one of the good Donovan songs. If you're Cliff Richard. Of course, British, yeah, absolutely.

Only because I listen to a lot of like history of rock and roll podcasts. Yeah. So Skiffle and all this and all this shit. And Cliff Richard is like top five, like in England. Yeah, exactly. Right. Anyway, this next song song right around the same vintage. I feel like a bit before maybe we are going to kick out only 90 songs here. Do you like this song before we hear?

Yes, I do. Yeah. Okay. And sung by an FOTM. FOTM is important to FOTM on this song. we hear it? Yes, I do. Yeah. Okay. And sung by an FOTM. FOTM. Which is important. Two FOTMs on this song. There you go. Very important. Oh, okay. We mentioned them earlier. Supergroup. I think they were top of mind since I loaded up this jam. Supergroup. I was thinking of Supergroup because of Superman. I feel like there's a big new story recently with these guys. Really? Yeah. He moved back to Canada. No, something crazier. Like Brad Roberts. No, it was like Travis Scott's birthday. Or like some like Tyler the Creator's birthday, like somebody's birthday they just played.

Yes, like in the last like week. Okay, so when I talked to him, he was in New York because we could hear like traffic. That's right. And I believe I believe Mark Weisblad told me that he I don't know if he's stalking Brad Roberts But he moved back to Canada I've been like typing like Travis Scott or something. They're playing the RIP fest in Cornwall Birthdays because that is yeah, cuz they played in Hamilton with the village got a birthday Did you say he they're playing RIP fest in Cornwall that is fucking huge Stu's right there's a big news by the way I like ribs you know what ribs is one of my top five foods of all time

David David Gilmour's Jerry Pink Floyd I think Jerry Harrison produces you know sometimes I like can you guys maybe cam can do it? Can you hit that octave that whatever range that brand Tony Braxton can know? Okay, how deep can you go with your voice cam but like like almost like curve of the frog? Like I can I do like a fry the frog. Frog. Hey, whole Kermit the Frog here. It's not bad.

I think Stu does a good Miss Piggy. Yeah, Stu's the voice. I'm trying to find this. This is the falsehood that Stu's passing. Stop that. While he's doing that, Superman song, Crash Test Dummies. I like it. Out of Winnipeg, top five song in Canada.

Went to number 56 in the US. Pretty good. it's no number but it was a big hit for this is the Superman song huh that makes sense we're bored it's do even listening no let me say Mike we're gonna do the hits tonight every geography corner is your geography corner okay so they're a University of Winnipeg band. Okay, Watchmen. Here's some other famous people who went to the University of Winnipeg. Okay, brought to you by Esri.

So we got Margaret Lawrence. Okay, like this is basically a word association, really. Wab Canoe. Premier. Premier. Very good. Here's a, and then a couple of FOTMs. Fred Penner.

That's amazing. Freddie Penner. And then he was apparently there. He probably went to class. Alan Cross. Yeah, he crossed fake name by the way, but I guess you might know that. But yeah, he's from Winnipeg. Yeah. Did you know the... Also my movies were shot in Winnipeg. Tax credits. Okay. So hold on though, quickly just one little update on the CFNY documentary. Right. It's discussed quite a bit on Toronto My Heart. Not playing at TIFF. No, that's the update. So I think we've been talking with Ivor Hamilton and Scott Turner and Al Cross. They're going to have a TIFF 2024 debut or what, premiere.

Yeah. They did not make the, I don't know how it works, but they applied to be at TIFF and TIFF said, no room for you, CFNY documentary. Shocking. But the Vice, the vice documentary is going to be there. Is that right? Yeah. Okay. I saw that in the syllabus. Okay. Do you care? Do you have you ever gone to tip? No, that's the same like I've been to TIF, but I don't really care. Yeah. What have you seen? There was a Russell Crowe movie, not a good one, called A Good Year. A good year. And the guy I worked for, this famous guy you might have heard of named Warren Chappelle.

Do you know this name? Warren Chappelle started up the Chappelle. I did, but I think privately I brought it up. I won't tell all the stories, except Warren Chappelle had an employee assistance company he sold for big bucks okay and then he went did he had fun with his money and one of the things he did was he sponsored this premiere of this movie with Russell Crowe which was kind of cool because like you know my Russell Crowe attended and all that stuff

yeah and my wife at the time and I got to go in hobnob with these so Russell who else was in this movie? Like anyone? He was the only star I can remember. It was a famous director, though. It was the guy. It was who directed Gladiator? Why am I playing? It's like Ridley Scott.

Ridley Scott. Wow, you knew that? Yeah. Shout out to Ridley funeral home. There you go. Shout out to Ridley Scott. Can I give a bit of context to this song won the best video at the 1991 much music of video

awards now to give you a sense thank you pretty crazy but that's not context no no no I'm getting there all right just how much like much music change over years we've talked about this till the cows come home so like ten years later they're like but here are the bands that performed at the 1991 Much Music Video Awards. It was Kid Cudi's birthday. Who failed to get rid of this? Kid Cudi? Can I just tell you that M. Night Shia Lamont, I can never say his last name. He directed a movie in Toronto.

You can't say Boone either. He directed a movie in Toronto called Trap. I don't think it's very good. Trap. I'm not gonna say it's called Trap. It's out already. I think it came and went. Do you think Wise Block went for a walk

with that screening? So Trap, Cuddy's got like, he came to Toronto to film like a cameo in this thing. In this thing. He is in that movie. He's in it. Yeah, and he had the crash test dummies that he played his birthday.

Yeah, so he's got some Canadian connections. Are you going to be at the breakfast with David Kine? Not this year. Oh, you're not in town? No, sadly I'm not. Do you want to hear who performed at the 1991? Adam Roddice will be there. Okay, I'll be there.

I'll give Adam a high five. Can we guess? Like, can you give us a little clue? Serial Joe. Okay, a few FOTMs. Okay. Lee Aaron. Actually, you're not going to get, I'm just going to do this.

It's going to take too long. So we got Colin James. Hey, we got Jeff Healy band. Wow. Yeah. There, there's, there was in there. Yeah. We got Helix, which is he's an FOTM band too.

Yeah. I kind of want to go to rib fest. Cornwall anywhere. Would you guys do a to go to rib fest. Cornwall? Anywhere. Would you guys do a road trip with me to Cornwall? I would, if it meant I got to eat ribs. It's pretty far, it's near like Ottawa. I also like pulled pork sandwiches quite a bit.

Is there like a Vaughn rib fest or somewhere closer? There was one at Centennial Park. Well again, they played in Hamilton. They played like with the village people, like two weeks ago. Is Kevin Kane an FOTM? No. Although I don't know if you saw this announcement, the watchmen are doing

their like Christmas show opening is Kevin Kane and the other guy, the Northern, the band trapped with the T no, but that's a, don't tell me. Um, cause uh, that they were on my NHL video game soundtrack, James, the grapes are no draft trapped with a T trapped. They had a couple of like they were like disturbed type band, right? Yeah, they were heavier stuff. OK, but anyway, two more names. Dream Warriors. Oh, I like that.

I don't know why they're not. Got to do. I'm a stupid. I'm a huge dream warrior guy and Joel Goldberg, director of their videos. It has and that was all made in Ron D.J's home. Of course it was Goldie. And last but not least, we got boot sauce. You know, boot sauce. So I think it's us. Educate your song. Educate. Uh, everyone's a winner, babe. Which is the cover, which is a cover. Everyone's a winner, baby. It's a cover. Oh, I do know that song. No, that's a shit band. Like Hannah's wonder or red hot chili peppers. This is a wonder wall.

Wonderwall. That was a movie in the soundtrack. Yeah. America's most wanted. Yeah. Can I kick out my second jam? Yeah. So fun fact is that when Stu submitted his three songs, two of the three were already in my list. So we share a brain, but how the fuck can that be?

Right? That never happens in two years. So we, I let him have one. It's called long COVID. I let him have one and then he let me have the other. We should call this episode instead like long COVID. But this is kind of a serious song. Pandemic Fridays long.'s long. I think this is, we need to be serious for a moment. I don't think there's much to joke about in this song. Why do you do that then?

Because if you're going to make the mood serious cam is looking up a local rib vest. And I wouldn't mind if there is one in Vaughn. Like when is this rib vest? What about Mr. Saga? What happens at a rib vest? Is it a buy one pass and you get to go to all the trucks? No, no, no, no, no. Or you have to buy them. Like you get- I had a friend that I could call right now that could vouch for what I'm saying here. Yeah.

Okay. He used to date somebody who ran a truck at a rib fest. Okay. And he told me- This isn't Farmsy. No, but that's good. That's very funny. Here's what I want to say about what he told me

Okay, I'm very very important for you guys to know who are watching and we're considering going to a rib fest a chicken fest Or any other sort of poultry or beef festival where you are gonna go Are you gonna tell us and they'll make us never want to eat there again like no no no no no It's not a gross thing. Okay. It's a strategic sort of chest thing. Okay at some point He was responsible for like putting the ribs in the fucking basket or whatever He was doing and he was like slowing down and then he looked up and there was like a line those hand rubbed No, I don't know. I didn't ask he's putting the fucking ribs in the basket and whatever and it's kind of going slow in the Sure, you know the I love Lucy sort of like conveyor belt

Factory is sort of like bunching up. Yeah, those are great fucking Right and you have that game by the way they do you know what I'm talking about the Mario Brothers brick factory It was like a handheld game that kids had in school that were like and you could play and it was like conveyor belts With bricks in the Mario Brothers. Yeah, sort of. Somebody in the chat room press one if you know what I'm talking about. There was also a Donkey Kong and a frog. They all went to bed.

Well, who cares? They know what I'm talking about. They're watching the DNC. I don't even remember what I was telling you. Oh, yeah. Here's what they do. Yeah. So the boss, his girlfriend's father says, hey, slow down. He's like, what do you mean? He's like, the trick is people always go to the truck with the longest line.

So if you do, it must be good. Yeah. So if you slow service, you build up a line and the line will stay there because people go around and look around and if they see a long line, they assume that that's the place to be. So there you go folks. When you go to rib Fest, the longest line does not mean the best ribs it just means somebody's playing the game and that is your Esri corner oh this is a geography moment good choice and this goes out to Adam Rodness who you will see

I think that I just really dropped a gem. Was P-Man's real name Adam? Yes, right? You're looking at the poster when you turn the volume up. Oh wait, the song is sad. I just want to tell you. Someone wrote, what's the theme? Ribb's best rock. Ribb's best rock is a fucking great. I got to set a note to Robin Bob and see if they want to kick out the rib best chance. I want to go to rib best. I'm not kidding. Oh, basement dweller. He's hankering. Talk about

Basement Swellers? Some Shaded Mandarin. Wow. Andrew Ward says that brick thing you're talking about was worked into the Dr. Mario game. Oh, that's awesome. So he knows. This song is called Adam's Song. Yeah. This song, I find it, even all these years later, I find it like, I like the way they

craft this story. Like I find it very effective. This is like a suicide note you're listening to here. Blink 182 by the way, if I haven't mentioned that yet. First of all, I just want to dispel a rumor that's going on in the chat right now. They're talking about Dr. Mario being a Tetris ripoff. Dr. Mario was a fantastic game. It is really underrated. That's just like their opinion, man. Yeah. Dr. Mario is

a fantastic NES game. It is a fantastic Super Nintendo game and it was so successful it even continued onto the Nintendo 64, which is the best version in my opinion. There's story mode in there as well. Dr. Mario, good play. If you're on a road trip, the great road trip game. It's not like NHL. I have something to say about Blink-182, Mike. Go ahead. To me, and again, I wasn't a huge Blink-182 guy. That's what I was just going to say.

This was the big album. I was not a... Like when Blink-182 was having their actual moment, I was not into the Blink-182 was having their actual moment. I was not into the Blink-182 thing. Like that, it just didn't hit my radar. But I'll tell you what, Mike, as I've gotten older, I really like Blink-182. I like their songs. A lot of their songs actually like draw actual emotional feelings out of me even.

Like I know that there's like a simplicity to their songs, but that kind of makes it good. And this is a great song, but there's another one like Stay Together for the Kids. That's a great song. They have a couple of songs that really, I really like them. And I think that Blink-182 is not just a fluff band

that they were portrayed to be. When I first was introduced to them, they were kind of doing the Backstreet Boys gimmick. All the small things. And they were kind of just doing sort of silly like, you know, hard to take it seriously. But as I got older and kind of went back and listened to their stuff, I really liked them. And I will say that I do think that Blink-182 is a good band and they have good songs. No shame in that game. I just want to say that. So this was the third,

this was the big album, Enema of the State. Yeah. This was the third single from Enema of the State. Do either of you two want to guess what were the first two singles released from Enema of the State? Like all the small things. All the small things was the second single released from Enema of the State. Can you name the first one? What's my age again? Rectamundo. See, look at these are monster hits here. What first? I like to get the rectum. I know these are monster hits here. Wow, I feel like this band is bigger than they ever like one of the true iconic. Are they a 90s band?

Because I feel like I'm right in the late 90s, early to like they're like the TRL band that was not like pop music, but they crossed over because their videos. Good way of putting this out. Well, you know, at their borderline, you're right there. They they cuss because they're, this is a 1999 album. I feel like with this band and also some 41, I'd see them on like much music. I'm like, this is not for me. Like this, we were just the generation, just a bit below. Oh,

is this like a mind blow or something? As you are has to do with the Adam song Guess we'll have to figure that out. Can we try to guess what the connection is? Of course Maybe the same producer no You're hearing Kurt Cobain on this Nirvana song come as As You Are. And that's a great, Nevermind is the, uh, is the, uh, listen through album. He says, take your time, hurry up. The choice is yours. Don't be late.

Don't be late. On an Adam song, which is essentially like a response to this song we're listening to right now. He, he, he sings, I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough. Yeah. So this is a response to Come As You Are by Nirvana. This is like Miley Cyrus flowers and Bruno Mars. 100%.

You weren't around, but there was a Bob and Rob we called we did flower jams and I did that whole thing Right. Oh, you did it. Yes. I did that thing. So it was made for Joe. Anna is literally It's interesting because when we were in high school Cameron my and myself You would see people you guys go to high school only it was called I'm Lisa and you would see people wearing like Led Zeppelin shirts and it was like, oh, they're just wearing the shirt You know like the Led Zeppelin swans song is it swan song? Is that what it is? But there's like a Led Zeppelin, everybody had and or grateful dead shirts or whatever, whatever.

Now you see kids wearing like notorious BIG Nirvana shirts. Like there's no way that they know it. But like when I was in high school and I listened to Led Zeppelin to see what it was it was like holy shit this is great. I wonder if the new generation that wears Nirvana shirts that they got at Target are going to listen to Nirvana's music and it's going to have the same impact that Led Zeppelin had on us. I don't think it will and that's crazy to me because if you were alive in this period of time, which anybody who's listening to this was definitely alive because that's your demographic, Michael. This was groundbreaking. It was, it was the thing that like kicked the door down. It was

rock and roll. It was the last great stand was led by Nirvana kicking the door down. I have to say it. And I know that that's not a hot take. Well, let's shout out. Let's shout out a few things. Let's shout out the album Nevermind, which we talked about earlier, which I think is a play through fantastic. I love Nevermind. I just don't know. Does it hold up? Like when you watch UHF now, is it still funny? No, UHF doesn't hold up as well as Nevermind. I actually revisited UHF. It's on 2B or something. And I wanted to go back and it doesn't, it's not as good as it was when I first saw it. Does DC cab hold up?

Mr. T. A lot of Mr. T going on here today. I pity the fool. So this is a great fucking song, but it's just a mind blow because really the song was a Adam song. When I, the Adam song is a response to this song when I lived in Sherman Oaks California in a home on a street it was like an oldie like across the street in five houses down who lived there mr. T whoa that's a true story mr. T Wow yeah Wow I used to like walk by his house and like,

he had like a white, like a Nissan 300 ZX. Okay. Not to make it about wrestling. He showed up in WCW, did he? Yeah, he did. Like as a referee or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God.

And again, I only have the five year span where I can talk wrestling with you guys, but Mr. T was a big part of WrestleMania. Was it WrestleMania 3? Yeah. No, one and two. One and two. But I do remember renting the VHS and Mr. T was front.

And sorry, like huge call back to something we discussed off the top. Samoa Joe not related to any of the other Samoans. Because we just lost who do we who do we just lost? Zika like in the last couple of months. Shut it's really, he's not he's not in the family, right? Who uh, Samoa Joe? Yeah, I know. Well, I mean, I think they're all sort of just like k-vabe in the family But I don't he's not like a direct. Did you say all in the family? Yes, stew. Have you paid your respects the patriarch of the patruchi family anthony Anthony Petrucci's father, Marsilio Petrucci, passed

away at the age of 100. He started Palma Pasta with his wife, Palma Petrucci. Together, the husband and wife team did it all. And they started, I think they were in their 50s or something when they started Palma Pasta. How did you segue into this? You said family. Oh, so family made you think of this thinking, I think of, you know, Marsilio Pertucci was like family to me. That's very sad. And a big loss. 100. What a run. I

wondered if you wanted to take a moment and just pay your respect to Marsilio Pertucci, a hundred years old. Oh, so Marsilio sad, sad, but, but like his son said, Anthony, uh, Bravo Papa, that was a life well lived. I had a chat today with Peter gross. That's what he said on social media again. Yeah. Today. He called me today. Okay. Cause when he was over last week, this week, maybe it's a long week this week when Peter gross was here, he got a phone call from his mother and he took it on here. 101, 101. And he phoned me today, Peter Gross, and said, I talked my mom into coming on Toronto mic'd.

Wow. He's close. Okay. I have never had a 101 year old on the program. Can he drive yet though? He's driving. He's driving. He's driving, but he's not delivering food. Okay. Sure. He and

his mom will be on together and I'm going to ask her a whole bunch of, uh, it's going to be kind of like word association, but like her era, like, uh, cab Callaway. Well, like what was it like in the roaring twenties? Seriously able to tell you she was, she was like, she was like, she was around in the twenties. Yeah. Like tell me about, what was it like in the great depression? Second world war stock market crash. What did you do? How often do we have the opportunity to talk about these things? And also your Peter Gross is mom. Let's talk about that. Okay. So she'll be your oldest guests. Second, also what Brian McFarland?

Okay. I think so. I feel like the VP of sales, I feel like he would know this. VP, if you're still, if you're not watching that, there was going to be a surprise guest at the DNC tonight. Yeah. And I was worried for a moment. Well, I don't know yet, but uh, cause it's a surprise, but I thought maybe it would be Stu Stone. And I was worried he'd be there. I was going to appear at a convention that would be probably like a Phil Collins live. Did Oprah like she didn't appear last night. Yeah, she did. Did she? Yeah, she did. Okay. You know, so maybe tonight who knows? I don't know,

but if anyone knows in the live stream, I'm curious, you guys like a water gun to your head who wins the election in November. So I was the idiot out there who I actually think when push came to shove, I thought Biden was going to beat Trump. So I think Kamala Harris wins electoral college wise with relative ease. Wow. Wow. Okay. So we've we recorded this so you can play it and make me look really stupid. But I think it'll be relatively easy electoral college victory for Kamala Harris and the democrat. Okay, what's a use too? Kamala Harris and the Democrat. Okay. What's a use, Stu? You know, a few weeks ago, I would have told you that Trump was going to win. No problem. Just after the whole incident that took place where when that glass hit him in the ear and attempted assassination, I thought for sure this is it. This is the thing that happened to him and it's terrible. And, uh, you know, this is a layup now for him. All he's got to go out is just change his swag and go out there and talk about how we're going to come together. And, you know, this is a layup now for him. All he's got to go out is just change his swag and go out there and

talk about how we're gonna come together and You know, he's been teed up. He's been tied teed up so many times for these types of moments over the last 10 years Where he all he has to do is go out and say the most obvious stuff And it's just like he just doesn't do it and it's crazy to me he had this thing in the bag and I feel like he kind of talked his way out of it again I don't know what's gonna happen by the time November rolls around But it's see it certainly seems like at the time of this recording that Kamala has the momentum And baseball is all about momentum, you know hitters will get hot

and baseball is all about momentum, you know, hitters will get hot. You know what I'm saying? It seems like he got shot at, like that was like two years ago. That's the crazy part. The news cycle moves so fast, Mike, that this guy got shot and like within three days, it's like it didn't even happen.

That is so crazy. But I think there's so much skepticism whether a bullet hit his ear. Who cares? Or did a fragment of glass hit his ear. It doesn't even matter. The point is, is that like the optics of it are what they are So it's like if you say that it's glass that gonna change the tens of millions of people who don't think it's glass That's not so if for all intents and purposes he got shot by a guy on a roof, right?

And he survived it. He turned his head at the exact right time Whatever the hell it is and he came up he said fight fight fight and all that stuff This was a no joke very brave bone spur boy no brainer Lay up for this guy. Yeah to come out and say oh we should all come together This is not who we are as a country We need to understand that you know at the end of the day we're all people all anything But he just you know and then he opened up the.C. appearance with this kind of soft kind of thing. He kissed the fireman and all that kind of stuff. And you thought, oh, well, maybe this is a new thing.

Maybe he's going to, you know, this is it. This this guy's going to win. You're looking at the president. And then an hour later, he's playing the hits. And it's just like, wow, I don't know. Now, obviously, listen, some people think that the last four years of with under Joe Biden have been the worst four years Are these people I'm just saying some people mega people doesn't matter what you want. Very fine people objective I'm being objective here outside of you who clearly you guys are picking sides here

I'm being I'm trying to come at this from a reason lay it on the line Yes, I think the Jays are gonna compete for I didn't say that world series. You said playoffs. I did Two wild cards. Yeah, there's a three-factor. They got to win 89 games to be in the conversation Anyway, this guy had a layup. I'm saying that in previous incarnations of issues, you know when there was the Awful George Floyd stuff that happened and all he had to do is get on TV and say, this is not who we are. What we saw on TV, that's not who we are. We need to come together as the United. He didn't do that. He never does. He never takes the never checks the box.

It's very possible. But my point is the people who think that the last four years under Joe Biden were terrible because there are lots of people that think that Mike, believe it or not. Uh, there's obviously people that think that the four years before that were worse. Sure. Does that make sense? They think that the four years under Trump is for this. So, so, yeah, as bad as they think it was with Biden, they think that under Trump, it was even worse as bad as they seem.

That's what I'm trying to say. So it's like, uh, you know, that's kind of the vibe that I'm getting. Yeah. Well, in the words of the late grade, uh, Hannibal Lecter, um, yeah, it's, it's a fava beans. Yeah. Um, but yeah, listen, there's, he very well could win again because listen, Hillary looked she was gonna win and then she didn't so who the fuck knows I will say like I wouldn't be surprised anything has the vibes right now, but also, like I can't think of like Say her name without thinking like Kamala the Ugandan trying It all comes back quickly before we leave it though wrestling. All right, how did you two feel about Hulk Hogan at the RNC? I Felt like I was watching a bizarre fucking universe

It was amusing to see Hulkster there and Trump blowing kisses to him but like you look at the lineup for the RNC and you got Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and my pillow and then you look at the DNC one and you got like Oprah and Stevie Wonder and Beyonce and whatever the fuck, John legend, Obama. And it's just like a different thing. I wonder who the special guest was tonight. I really even compete in that aspect. Although there is a segment of the country that doesn't give a shit about any

of those people that I just listed that were that they were at the DNC. Like for them kid rock and Hulk Hogan is like, Holy shit, a lister. A hundred percent. And if I've been around America in the last couple of years, I've been to red states and blue states and purple states everywhere in between. And there's people that love Donald Trump still. Who's that Kanye West's ex-wife? Like she was there?

Was she there? Are you talking about Kim Kardashian? Not Kim Kardashian, the one before. Anyway, whatever. I can't help you. I do want to play the second game. Oh, are you talking about Wiz Khalifa's ex-wife, Amber Rose? Amber Rose, OK. Yeah, that was crazy.

Yeah. I don't know what the fuck. But yeah, I feel like, listen, it's looking like Kamala right now, but don't you can't really like. Well, it's August, OK, they go to the polls in November. Don't be surprised That's all I'm saying like we've seen this game before don't be surprised That's all I'm saying prepare for the worst to hope for the best But either way there's nothing we can do to change complaining on our Facebook is not gonna change any of this shit, right?

So it's just like try not to get worked up about it is the best thing I can do That's the lesson that I learned from the last time we did this Don't get worked up about it because there's more dramatic things in your life to worry about your family your friends your well-being Your friends and neighbors Peter concerts Peter gross his mom Great Lakes brewery palma pasta's dad. God rest his soul You know, there's lots of things going on that we can control The election results in America. We cannot. So just let it play out and whatever happens happens.

Hey, can I, can I respond to a question here and Sue might have, then he can rebuttal and your ward saying hope or how's Stu and cam's mom's mom doing. I asked my mom last night, cause I was at their house for like an end of summer thing, I asked if she wanted to go see Jeannie Becker, talk about her book at the North York Library, two FOTMs, they just announced like the fall slate of in library appearances, two FOTMs were on the slate, Jeannie Becker and. I don't I forget how Harun Siddiqui, Siddiqui, he was one of them. And I asked my mom, hey, mom, do you want to go see Jeannie Becker?

She's at the North York Reference Library close to your house. She's like, thank you for talking to J. York reference library close to your house. She's like, Thank you. We talked to JD Roberts earlier. Yeah. And she's like, I have no interest in hearing that woman speak. I'm like, whoa, not a fan. No. And I like, what's, not a problem with Jeannie. Is it that's big, right? Beyonce, Beyonce, because I thought it might be, I don't know. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't know. Yeah. There was a rumor out there. I'm like, yeah.

Crossing the floor. Yeah. What do you say? I'm just saying she's trending on, on the. Oh, that's people guessing who it could be. Okay. That's not, that's not, that's not, that's not a. Jimmy Carter, like in a wheelchair. Okay.

Sorry. I should make fun. Taylor Swift. Speaking of a hundred years ago, Taylor Swift to be the big one. I could see you're doing that. That would get a lot of people. How did Kamala go from like people like didn't like her at all to like, she's now the best in the fucking world. That happened pretty quick.

That's the thing. Let's admit that. I feel like she's like vibes right now, but to Stu's point, there's a lot. It's like no one was talking about this girl or I shouldn't say this girl. That's disrespectful. Six year old no one was talking about this girl or not. I shouldn't say this girl that's disrespectful Nobody's talking about this very successful and brilliant woman Three weeks ago, and now she's the number one thing that ever happened. That's all I'm saying by the way Mike Yeah, she makes history. I really do are you are you pissed off? You see Grant Lawrence like tweeting like a Toronto Mike shtick like the Esri geography corner.

Like went to school with the gruesomes. Like, come on. The gruesomes got their name from the Flintstones, of course, the gruesomes. That's right. That's when they come out. All right. I would love to, I need to play this jam

because I want to get to our final jams. And this is the penultimate jam for Stu stones. I'm going to kick it out. Now it's very short. This will play. I'm going to kick it out now. It's very short. This will play. This is my jam.

This is the second song that I'm playing. Yeah. Song two. Oh, there you go. My second song was song two. I get it. Oh, it is a Montagreen coming up. Okay. The first line is a Monda Green. I'll explain in a moment. It's a good song. Kind of like one of these songs that's still kind of just like, if it came out today, it would still be good. Let me just tell you the Monda Green before I pass the baton to Donovan Bale, I mean Stu Stone.

The Mondagreen is that the lyric is, I got my head checked by a jumbo jet and everybody, not everybody, but many people hear it as I got my head shaved. That's what I thought he said. No, he's saying I got my head checked by a jumbo jet. How did that happen? That's how he wrote it, man. They're British, OK? Please tell us about song two, which is a little over two

minutes, song two. Remember the song? There's a couple of Sesame Street songs that I could have picked. Like, la dee da dee da, la dee da dee da, what's the name of that song? You know that one? Yeah.

And there was another one No big Sesame Street head there's another Sesame Street one. That's like a song thing like that I can't think of it at the moment But song to this is a one of I feel like we've talked about this song in a certain in in in All of this at some point, but let's just do it anyway Originally it was written as like a joke. This was like they were taking a quote piss as they would say and they were just trying to like

Taking out the piss. Send it to the record label as a joke saying like here's our Isn't that how blink 182 possibly all the small but it's like here's a song there's no Isn't that how blink 182 possibly all the small but it's like here's a song. There's no like a proper So they said somebody said no somebody I think the label said we need a hit or something and then they they made this Is like a bit of a goof. They made this like It's like a neal young like move like sort of like an ornery, but that's you're right You're right stu stone, but maybe similar to how? Uh, so you know where I'm going with this. Yeah, but either way, they send it to the label

expecting the label to like freak out and come back and say, what the fuck, you guys are, what are you doing, what are you thinking? They send the song to the label and the label's like, we love it. Creep by Radiohead is the song I was trying to come up with. Maybe similar, like not like anything else. Either way, Beetlebum was the first song that came out from is a beetle bum

Yeah, that's a good song like so that came out and that was the first single and it did pretty good Like guys like me and cam listen to it Britpop cam looks like a Britpop guy and you know Oasis was kicking down doors back then too. Let's not leave out Kula Shaker Spacehog Yeah in the meantime a lot of played let's not leave out, uh, Kula Shaker. Sure. Todd, Todd, space, space hog. Space. Yeah. In the meantime, a lot of played, uh, even, uh, Kula Shaker. I said, yeah, we got a, what echo belly. Uh, there was a whole kind of vibe coming down the pipeline and, uh,

blur was a really good one. And so they were like, you know what? We're going to send this in, like, fuck these, these wankers. And then the wankers are like no no we like it They end up putting it out the song becomes this huge massive hit however It didn't chart like a hit as a lot of these rock songs didn't and I I guess Whatever the fuck his name is Why is life wise blood can I explain it to you very simple? Yeah some artists didn't put out the singer because they want to

Sell the album this was put out as single because they wanna sell the album. But the rules back then were you had to put it out as a single. Got it. So Wise Block can fucking- Like you can't touch this, I think, with one of the kind of songs that didn't get the number one because of-

Fair enough. Number 55 on the US radio songs chart, number six on the US alternative chart, number 25 on the US mainstream rock chart, that's it. And of course in Canada on the rock alternative chart number one. And that's probably why we have such an affinity for here. This was like a humble and Fred staple, like end of the hour, fill in. You need two minutes before the news break. This is your song. It's like two minutes and five seconds. It's like shadowy men on the show. It was unlike much. Some people have stated the song is intended to be a parody of the grunge genre while others

state it was a parody of radio hits in the music industry with a punk rock chorus. Woohoo. The song ends up being a staple of the Blur catalog. It's greatest hit. You go to any stadium, I mean you hear Jump Around, you hear We Will Rock You, you hear this. White Stri stripes. Yeah, sure This is right there too, this is like a jock jam if there ever was one to the stage still here Yeah, this is a jock fucking jam if you've ever heard one, right?

And it's kind of funny that you who's the main guy from Damon Albert. Yeah, he is kind of a funny guy because main guy from Damon Albert. Yeah, he is kind of a funny guy because his two biggest songs that he ever wrote are both kind of jokes. Oh, Clint Eastwood, the Clint Eastwood song. There's a video floating around where he basically exposes that

like the whole sample is just like hit the demo setting on a cheap keyboard. And it literally is. That's all it is. It's literally that it's the DS. Yeah. And he's you hit the demo and he's like, yeah, yeah, all of it. So then he makes that song. He's like, imagine if I could make a song, I reckon we can.

And then it turns out to be like their biggest hit. And then this one was also so good for him. Yeah, there goes there goes some more advice. I've already given you great political advice on this episode. Here's some other advice. Don't take yourself so seriously because you can accidentally when you're having a good time come up with something great like circle, circle dot dot

or song two or Clint Eastwood. Well, this one's not. But I appreciate you. Mike, you're a big CFNY. What's your opinion on Blur just Just in general, like as a band. They also do Boys Who Like Girls Who Like Girls Who Like Boys. Yeah, they have like, probably like what? 10 jams that were on CFN Y overall?

That's a goodbye jam for Jeff Woods. That's right. So we don't like this one? I mean, we can, I just, yeah. I was looking for new stuff. I can't just play Rolling with Sagat every fucking time. What is this? This is a song I did with DJ lethal of all people It's kind of Skrillex. Yeah, it has like that kind of electronic about a sandstorm

Rude yes Just to remind us all how fucking talented this man is. I know. It sounds good, right? It's like fucking bang out a song with DJ Lethal. I mean, we don't, you know. Who are you poking? Nobody.

It's just a metaphor. I mean, I don't even drink, so it's like, what have we been saying here? You sort of sound like Kesha here. That's what I was going for. Tick tock. I was going for a Kesha vibe. I can hear it. This was written for Kesha. She passed on it. So I just put it out. I was reading on the social media, pit bulls in trouble for, or somebody's upset at pit bull for removing Kesha from the credits on Spotify for the, the whatever collaboration they did that went to number timber. Yeah, that's it

That's it. Why did you do that? I don't know. He says he didn't do it. Someone else did it and he He's got to play. He's good guy He's gonna play good guy this song has a really interesting bridge that if you wanted to get to it break it down for me Brother, I mean I just tried to do something kind of music. No, it's no romantic traffic, but it's pretty good But there's your bridge. Or like something too. I'm a free man, hell I can see man, and even though I'm drowning, I can see land. Even though I'm drowning, I can see land. I wanna get away.

Because I don't think that I can stand here another day. So is this. It's just, you know, somebody that's getting so high, Mike, to avoid their lives, and and they're saying I'm doing just fine Leave me alone kind of vibe. Yeah, shut up to canna cabana What a jam I could see it's selling like energy drinks someday It's good wait, what year is this from 2000s? I don't know long time ago like a lifetime ago a Post-cash yeah Anyway, you know those little lights

There's a lot of good songs on that album. I mean each time I come here you can Make introduce people sorry what? Return of the stone movement, okay That's a bit that like David Guetta, like it sounds very like 2011. That's when it came out actually. Totally. It's of that era. Yeah. It's of that era. Right. Dynamite or whatever. Okay. Yeah. See, I bring the, you know, his, he's all negative at first. And we all just shy. I'm embarrassed. I don't have any cam Gordon songs to play. Okay. I mean, I could, you know,

I fucking like, oh yeah, this is great. That's a good point out that the, uh, another member of the, uh, toast family co-wrote this song. Great video too. It's a great icon. I really love this song. And you know what? They have another song that is the, was the theme song for Maple Leaf Wrestling It's a good song too. Yeah, okay. It's called alright, maybe or something

Yeah, that's I was to say serious, but that's like Alan Parson I want to look yeah, but that's what the Chicago Bulls would come out to. Look it up. I'm going to look it up. You can pull it up. Steve Kerr was announced at the DNC. I did see his video. Smiling in Winter is the name of the spoon song.

That was the theme song for Maple Leaf Wrestling. Wow. I got to ask him about it. I gotta ask Rob about it. I'll ask Rob about it. Please do. Next month when he's here. Here, just play this. Hey Rob, huge fan, love romantic traffic, but you have another song from your catalog

called Smiling in Winter that I remember being a theme song for WWF Wrestling on CHCH for many years. Can you confirm that? Were you guys paid for that? Are you a wrestling fan? Was it cool? You probably got a lot of exposure because wrestling was so popular with in that era that people kept hearing your song on wrestling on CHCH on Saturdays. I believe at 7 PM.

So Rob, let us know what you think. Big fan. Thank you. I feel like that show would show one match from maybe gardens too because there were some shows we were at where they'd show like yeah whoever. Moncho man versus Georgiana. Don't you dare miss it. Okay. Okay. We're gonna burn through our final jams here. Any words cam this will probably be the oldest song we hear. Is that accurate? Have we left that nineties yet. No. Well, that this song's 60 years old. Okay. So now we're going to leave this song

is 90 upside down. There you go. This is your number one. It's no particular order. Tree such a can song. It's a good song. Showing off that so better than that Donovan song. It's a good song. Better than that Donovan song. Now this song would be, as a filmmaker, you know, as I am nowadays, Mike. This would be a great song to play, and I'm just putting this out there.

Like, use your imagination. But a horrific killing scene. Where someone's just like killing someone violently and this song's playing. Sort of like American Psycho style or whatever. Like Huey Lewis. Just slow motion, like slashing across camera, blood splatter. Yeah. Don't F with Ghost. Are you proud of Don't F with Ghost? You know what, when we go off there I'll show you guys the opening of the movie.

Yeah, she was around my sister's best friend Why one final fun fact about this I going somewhere, okay, Debbie Reynolds some shit So this song was on a casino. I didn't know she had a casino, but she was a very famous. She was a very, very fucking know she is like, I know the name don't that. Yeah, but she was a famous act. Honestly, Mike, I might be imagining this, but I have a feeling and someone can confirm this at one point, W W E VINCE MCMANN was trying to buy the Debbie

Reynolds casino and turn it into a WWE casino. But by the way, um, am I crazy? Maybe to your credit, Mike, thank you. I love where you started like this. Cause he likes, I'm going to say something. This is like really dirty, but like, just get like this, that you talked about fucking Danny Thomas with Peter Kross. So you didn't mention what he Thomas is famous for.

It's the only thing I, we felt like my two. You didn't mention what he Thomas is famous for. It's the only thing I know like my two dads. Didn't we hint at it to Danny Thomas episode? He the guy who would shit on the glass. Yes, allegedly. Do you don't know? Because this story I've been hearing forever about Danny Thompson. Oh, this is like the Richard Gere. You ready for Mike? Yeah.

Well, we brought up Danny Thomas because Phil Donahue died. Yeah. And he married Marlo Thomas sure daughter of Danny Thomas got it. Clarence Thomas Danny Gaines Yeah, by the way, did you see the clip of? speaking of Geddy Lee We were still thinking about Geddy Lee When were we doing that? I was to say Phil Donahue dressing down and on rent on Rand, whatever I did, I did watch. I did see that video. Getty Lima's to just been like, cause that there was like a big atlas shrug that was a rushes. Oh no, that was more a drummer. I feel like it was very, the drummer, they

switched up drummers. But anyway, how do you say your name? On I ran a YN. that Mike Grigowski works. That's Esri. Oh, Esri. You know, the future vice president of this country whose name is if you look up Bob Ezrin's, uh, you will see the band, my band, his name is in their bio, he also gave permission for that.

He also worked in splash and boots. Okay. That's that's he's a Toronto he's a Toronto guy we read like he worked yes flashing boots yeah love gun in the great Simpsons episode when Maggie does the great escape with all those other toddlers because that's the Ayn Rand school of top for tots or whatever the right they call that thing there yeah the I forgot about Maggie's greatest gift. It's probably like one of the earliest episodes of the show. I know that's like, I think it's a season three or four. I had like a, a Simpson's water bottle at one point, you know, those squeeze bottles that you probably keep on your bicycle. Like, yes, of course I

know these squeeze bottles. There was certainly a, uh, an era where everybody had a Simpson's squeeze water bottle. Like I would say in eighty nine that probably was like a 90 because it didn't use December eighty nine. It's like a squeeze bottle like you would find on Mike's bicycle. But it's got the Simpsons on it. It's like what was the anniversary like the debut of the Simpsons was this week? Yeah, it was a Canadian TV. OK, yeah. So yes.

Also, I'll just do it briefly that people think because W U TV is a Fox affiliate. Right. People think the Simpsons debuted on 29 W TV at the, in December 1989 W U TV had a discrepancy, like a fight with Fox and they weren't airing Fox shows. So there was no Fox affiliate in Buffalo in December, 1989. So we got the Simpsons debuting in Toronto a little bit later, but still December, 1989 on CHCH.

I do sort of remember that was not official Fox affiliates like till much later, like 93. Well, no, it was because Married of Children was, was airing real time. And, uh, I feel, it was because married of children was was airing a real time and on a I feel like it was a coaster was on there Gary, good new yeah and yeah. I remember Gary. Good. I can I can I kick it a jam. Wait, I kick my final was Herman's head her. That's yeah. That was a Simpson's guy though. Lewis, that's all I know. Lisa Simpson's on that show yeah and so was Hank. His

area yeah. Okay, maybe Harry sure too Who knows there was a bunch of Simpsons guys, but at least those two guys I mentioned so but but remember married of children came first Okay before there was came first the chicken or the egg But Tracy Allman debuted the Simpsons and then come on like you're telling us some come on waters wet Mike We know yeah now like the Simpsons Here's what I have to say to the Toronto people. The Simpsons on global. There was a title. They were there a long time. It said on global. Like, I know. And like they added it to the title or be like love and marriage,

marriage with children on global. Like they would add on global into the fucking opening of the shows. Designing woman woman full house. Did we mention Mary? That's different. That's not buddy clown. KVR. No, that's CFMT.

So designing women and Murphy Brown. Yeah, that's you're watching 47 cable fun. Yeah, cable fun. They also have a song that I think might have been Keith Hamster song. Big Mac, Mac, DLTl t a quarter better with G. The lay of fish a hamburger with Keith Hampshire besides okay blue. Yeah, it's first cut is the deepest day time.

Yeah, that one day time. Yes, that was him. But I don't want to say that I don't know. Fine. Remember Big Time Operator to that was like, okay, I'm kicking out my set. My final jam. I just in my mind, If you kick out your final jam is get closer to this being over Mike and I know you don't want to 10 30

10 30 is like I got a shit to do. Okay. Well the kids hopefully are asleep. Hopefully Monica put them. I'm so fucking tired. We're watching cable fun day time okay. Take time. Take time. Okay. I like how Stu quietly judges your songs in the first chord. This is not a 90s song though. No, that wasn't a prerequisite.

I thought I'd leave the 90s. Did you watch the biopic that they had? No, I haven't seen it yet. I haven't either. Great song though. Debbie Reynolds did have a hotel. Wow. And the movie Mother with Albert Brooks is very good. Redemption song.

This is Bob Marley, the honorable Robert Nesta Marley. This is the final track on his 12th, well Bob Marley and the Wailers 12th album, Uprising. Here's a fun fact for you guys. This great Bob Marley song, some of the lyrics that you hear in this song were taken from a speech given by Marcus Garvey. In relation to Steve? When Garvey Bailey made her debut, I opened with some stupid joke about being named after Steve Garvey. Oh god, that did not land.

And she's like, well actually I was named after Marcus Garvey. And it was like, I felt really stick. I felt like, oh. That did not land. He was like an adulterer too, was he not? Steve Garvey? Oh yeah, he's got a lot to learn. He had some stuff. So I just thought, because I'm trying to educate him.

Random things that you can learn on this show. So, Steve Garvey and Walter, Google. So what are we going to do? Just give you a taste. Hey Siri, did Steve Garvey ever cheat on his wife? Give me an education. Oh, this is hard. This is a little bit of Marcus Garvey. Because whatsoever education I acquired out of their sacrifice of over 300 years,

I shall use for the salvation of the 400 million black people of the world. And the day when I protect my people may God Almighty That shall be no more like for you Maybe maybe he's a special guest tonight It's a DMC. So Marcus Garvey. This is just a bit of a different speech just to give you people Don't know how he sounded or whatever But yeah, Bob Marley was inspired by this speech and he took those words and he made the redemption song Just a couple of things I want to say and I know how I want to close because I'm

going to literally pass the baton to Stu who's going to take us home. Really enjoyed having you guys back here, by the way, deal with it is a book that I think you'd both enjoy that Bruce Dobegin and his son, Evan Dobegin wrote and I saved two copies for you. Deal with it. I like that. That's one for you, Stu, one for you. So it's like revisiting like bad trades that no, not bad trades or just the trades that stunned the NHL and changed hockey. I would, I would love to read that and I'd love to read it over a nice lasagna. I have a lasagna in my freezer for you from Palma pasta. That would be nice. And as you know, Stu, because you know, recycle my electronics dot C a that's where you go to watch all my porn. If you

have any old electronics or cables, you don't throw them in the garbage. Those chemicals end up in our landfill. Do they? You go to a company that can actually safely recycle them so that the chemicals stay out of. Yeah. EPA RA is approved is approved recycle my electronic. What's this music favorite of Danny? Yes, they robbed Minutes after they took I was this redemption song like a cover from the bottomless pit Did you own this? I owned legend Or like I guarantee you I know how much you paid for legend

You got it along with nine other CDs for one cent from Columbia House. I can't remember a big legend Bob Marley order. Yeah, like the the Saturday Live, like the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, the Eagles greatest hit legend, Bob Marley, James Taylor's greatest hits. Totally. Steve Miller band, like the band for sure, for sure.

The one with the horse, like the horse. Yeah, greatest hit. So that voice you heard horse was said. Yeah, Greatest Hits. Everybody had that. So that voice you heard was Johnny Cash, okay? I was gonna say that. Who's this? None but ourselves can free our minds. Oh, this is fun.

Have no fear for atomic energy. Cause none of them can stop the times. It's like Richard Thompson. I don't know her. Think bigger. While we stand aside. Stop the time like Richard Kill our bigger Wow bigger You saw

We got to keep Richard Sounds like an older channel. Oh, yeah. He's not, you know, I think Johnny was older, but this guy died before Johnny. Uh, redemption song. So let me. That's not about.

Frank, you know, so I would Joe Strummer. oh that's just from me. Oh, this is Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer a great cover of Redemption song Okay. Yeah. Yeah Actually have a photo of me and Joe Strummer in Joe Strummer. That voice coming from it's coming from the recording. That sounded like now it's from the recording. It's a live recording. That is my kid.

Like Jack Johnson stick with it like cat No from the more recent Well, you still know This guy is popular Noah time seal was a good guess Give him a moment Danny Tung's Bruce Springsteen. Morgan Wallen, Post Malone. Or it's what, Ben Harper.

You haven't got it yet. Just name some guys. Dave Matthews. Eddie Better. You haven't got it yet. It's like just name some guys. Dave Matthews. Eddie Better. I'll help you out because you guys are pathetic. The... What's that fucking band? Waterboys guy?

That's Chris Cornell. That doesn't sound like Chris Cornell. No. Wow, he's having an off night. Oh, Bush does not Chris Cornell. I guess it is him, buddy. It's just a weird performance from him. It doesn't sound like him. It's definitely him now that he says it, but it doesn't sound like him. Now it does.

Why is he singing like that? He loves his fucking acoustic songs, right? Like Nothing Compares to You you What's the Billy Jean? He's great I never really never really got it Just like it is just sort of there. Come on. Have you seen singles? Yeah, it's good stuff.

I actually never saw it. Chris Cornell is one of the, like him and Maynard are two of the best vocalists that you could ask of. Yeah, this guy. Maynard. Like the Tool guy? Yeah, he's a great singer. He's like an operist.

What are you, crazy? You just made a face like I'm nuts? Maynard is not a good singer. I'm not saying he's not. I'm just a little surprised. I'm going to play cover of Redemption song like I think he's like a highly regarded singer. Maynard is not I don't think of him that like the way I think of Chris

Cornell because he's a man or like a trained opera singer Maynard Keenan, whatever same as I think you guys are fucking crazy. I think you're thinking of the guy from Helix. No I'm not. Maynard. It's like Winegum. You guys are fucking dumb. I'm gonna play one more cover that's gonna pass the baton to Stu's gonna pass the fucking dumb you're

saying that Maynard is not one of the best rock singers I gotta say this is really sad like literally everyone's dead yeah Bob Marley Johnny Cash Joe song Wow, he's coming with the do-do-dos. He got that from romantic traffic. Speaking of great vocals. Wow, he made it his own Almost like don't recognize it it takes a second all figured out Kind of have to like takes a minute to figure out what he's doing here From Marcus Garvey to Michael McDonald just bad

Yeah, this is making me smile come on now. Let's hear what he does with the chorus here Very good ladies doing fight the power. Yeah He really made it his own Oh, Schmaltz. He really made it his own, didn't he? Where did you get this? It's just like on YouTube, like a YouTube rip. No, you released it, man. Okay, so Stu, I know you're the big Michael McDonald guy, and when I hear his voice in the wild, I think of Stu. Good, I'm happy. That makes me feel really like I've had an impression on you. I'm afraid you'll...

I still can't believe you guys think Maynard is a bad... Can you pull up any tools on him? No, can I clarify what we said? And what about perfect circles? He sings in that, he hits these outs? We said when we think of great rock singers... If you're into that. Yeah, I'm not into it.

But when we think of great rock singers, we just said he wasn't top of mind. I didn't say he was a shitty singer. He's top of mind to me. That's fine. When I think of like the great rock singers of that era. Do you want to name the great rock singers? Of that era, the 90s.

Okay, Chris Cornell. Chris Cornell. For sure. You know what? I'm gonna give some props to this guy. He's from the 70s, but Steven Tyler's a great rock singer. Yeah, but that's not the 90s. But he was in the 90s.

Axl Rose? I'm talking about the 90s. Sorry, W. Axl Rose? That's not, no that's not the 90s, but he was in the 90s That's not and no that's the 80s 90s who said that Judas Priest guy Robert Halpert 80s I'm talking 90s. Who's the good vocalist from the 90s Brad Roberts? I'm telling you I already named him Maynard and Tony Braxton. Ken McNeil from Rusty. No. They were fucking great. By the way they have a local date. Did you see they're playing here? Like really soon. I love those guys. Let's see them together. Tobias Vaughn says Maynard is

brilliant. He knows. That's fine. I'm not as cool as Tobias Vaughn. Fuck you guys. Yeah, fuck you like him. I think he's fine. Fuck you He's way better than you're giving credit. So go fuck yourself trashed him I'm more of a Tom Waits kind of guy So Stu any words before your last jam here? We've heard a lot of great songs tonight, haven't we a lot of great song songs He's do do do's on the fucking Redemption song by Mike. That's fucking offensive. Like seriously, just fucking turn this off. This is offensive, right? Yeah.

Enough. You know what kind of, there's another song that sounds like... Wait, wait, turn it off for a second. Oh. Is that like an outro or something? That's a good song. Whenever that is, I know the song. He was hammered.

I'll be sure. Whenever I feel your heart again. Whenever I see your love again. Okay, that's a good time. This time I hold you in my arms forever. It's like Peebo Bryson. This time forever, yeah. Jeffrey Osborn.

That's a child wrote La Vida loca That's a fun bag Lot of Aerosmith to them Bon Jovi This song is called the thong song dream on by the way holds up of course cam is a huge fan of Drew Hill the R&B supergroup that Cisco the Dragon was the lead singer. He was the breakout star. Drew Hill of course had somebody sleeping in my bed. They had a song from How Deep Is Your Love For Me from the Rush Hour soundtrack. This is a huge blind spot for me.

This whole Drew Hill, Jodeai. I can remember the CD. Cause the guy. Drew Hill. I just remember somebody sleeping in my bed. Steve Garvey's only 75. So Cisco the dragon comes out with this song. That was a good Padres team. 84. Yeah. Tony Gwynn?

They went against the Cubs. Yeah. They lost and they will. Powerhouse Tiger team. Oh yeah, the Tigers run. Do you guys want to know some fun facts about this song, the thong song? Cheer Lou Whitaker, let's go. Initially, this track that you're listening to right now was presented as a demo, a demonstration track, a demo track for Michael Jackson, who passed on it.

Yeah, I can't see Michael doing it. Well, he wasn't going to sing the thong song. It was the beat of the beat. It was like the track. Are you going to find a way to bring this back to Toto? Yeah, I'm going to try. Toto wrote Human Nature. Yeah, no, I was.

But the thong song, of course, was a huge hit song. There was a music video where Cisco with his blonde hair was flipping around on the beach. Did you ever have another hit? And there's women in thongs. And, you know, it's the fucking thong song. What year did this come in?

1999. This song you're listening to right now, Cameron. Yeah. Four Grammy nominations sure this song of course The thong song That's his signature. Yeah that he does in all the Drew Hill songs as well. That's his like Jodeci that's his signature That's Cisco the Dragons. Yeah That's in all of his songs like DJ Khalid like Toronto

connection to the thong song Oh the remix of the thong song has Initially was offered to little Kim. She turned it down Picked up foxy Brown ends up jumping on Directed by little X who'd go on to become director X So he was a part of that the The song went to number two in Canada, number three in the United States. I would have thought this was a number one song and it was not.

The thong song is a thong song. Now here's some mind blows for you. You thought I was gonna blow your mind with the Desmond Child writing credit on the thong song. Yeah, that was a good fun fact. But that didn't blow your mind. That was just a fun fact. If we could find out what that other song is, by the way,

whenever I see your shining face. Like Basin Dwellers, like, losing his mind, thinking it's like Kibo Brison. Is anyone left on the livestream to do this word? Whenever I see you shine again. This time, I love you much better. This time forever. When it was just a Pandora, like, I thought there's a program where you can just like sing into it I don't see what this is

So yeah the thong song. There's an interesting story here that I'm gonna take you on a little journey before we say good night There's a sample in the thong song Kim do you know where it's from? Can you play the beginning of the thong song. Cam, do you know where it's from? Can you play the beginning of the thong song again? Do you mind? Do you hear that string? Yes. Do you know where it's from?

Like the actual whole composition of the track is that loop right there. You heard that, right? Yeah. Do you know what that's from oh wow it's that Eleanor Rigby yes really yes so like Michael Jackson did he still like own the publishing like how did they do yeah maybe now here's the funny crazy crazy how crazy is it that you thought that was about to be Eleanor Rigby Yeah, maybe. Now, here's the funny, crazy part. I got the song, I got the song. But after you finish shooting.

How crazy is it that you thought that was about to be Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles? Oh. This sample that they use is actually from a jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery released an album called A Day in the Life, which also featured the Beatles song A Day in the Life. He covered Eleanor Rigby amongst other hits of the era sure this album came out in 1967 and reached number one on the billboard jazz chart number two on the rmb chart number 13

on the billboard hot 100 it's like very tasteful renditions like and it's got west montgomery on guitar and the legend in the making herbie hankock on the keys here. Oh, a young Herbie Hancock. Years before a rocket. Sure. Years before being Quincy Jones's secret weapon. A Canelli. Herbie is in here with Wes Montgomery now. So the thong song Sample, let's go back to the beginning of this song

one more time so people can hear it. This song? Yes. The thong song sampled. This song, right? You heard it again. Which is a Beatles song, which is not the Beatles. This is someone doing a classical cover of the Beatles, right? This is not the only instance where a classical rendition of a popular British invasion band was sampled in the same era that resulted in financial ruins for the person that did not clear the sample. Do you know the other one?

That the the verve, I feel like we've litigated. Yes. So it's a good way. It's a good way to tie it all together though. Nicely in a bow because this one is interesting too. And for people that don't know that didn't hear us break this down in previous episodes, which I'm sure we have, and we maybe even did the thong song too, who knows? At this point, who the fuck cares? Because it's, if you haven't heard it, it's new to you. So this is obviously the verb,

uh, the verve, I should say. I like the verb. Which came out, I guess, 18 months before the thong song. Right. Similar feel. Basin Dweller's like losing his mind. That's Peppo Bryson. Okay, well, we'll check it out. Yeah. Oh, is that, is it Peebo?

Is that it is? Oh, it is. Okay, this is it. What's it called? What's it called? If Ever You're In My Arms Again by Peebo Bryson. If ever you're in... Oh, let's just bump this please.

This is a great jam. Like play it all, like on all the computers. This will be our new theme song And I still can remember How you did to me so bad It told me you should We had once in a lifetime But I just couldn't see

Until it was gone Second once in a lifetime Richard Marx. Wow. He was a background vocalist for a lot of hits. He's like the Steve Lukather of background vocals. Don't sleep on Richard Marx. ["If Ever You're In My Arms Again"] If ever you're in my arms again, this time I'll love you forever. If ever you'll be my arms again. This time I'll love you forever. This time we'll be forever. Wow, more mind blows. The writer of this song is not Peebo Bryson. It's a woman by the name of Cynthia Wild.

I know, I know what that is. Yeah. She wrote such hits as. She passed away a couple years ago. He's So Shy by the Poynter Sisters. Wow. Okay. Christmas Vacation from the movie Christmas Vacation.

How about this classic? I don't know much. Oh. But I know I love you. Love it. And that's the Neville Brothers, yeah. And that may be all I need. With Linda Ross.

I Will Come To You by Hanson. Do you know that song? I'll come to you. It's Hanson. Just Once. Just once. Can we find a time? That's a big song.

Oh, yeah. Here's the Quincy Jones. Here's the sample that the verve used. It's a pretty cool like rendition, I like the bells. So this of course is a classical rendition of a Rolling Stones song. So both the Stones and the Beatles both ate off of pop records. Yeah. Popular records I should say in the late 90s, sampling not even their recordings of the song. Somebody else's cover of their song got sampled

and they got paid. I will say, you listen to this, what did the verb do to it? They put like 10% a little guitar on top. Yeah, not much. It's basically this song. Yeah. Yeah.

Here's the other part that's really awesome. First of all, the Andrew Oldham Orchestra is the name of the... He worked with the Rolling Stones. So this was a guy that actually was like a sort of an official Rolling Stones sort of cover. But he got the green light to do it. Now, here's the happy ending to this story, which I know you already know. But as you may not know, the Verve lost their case. They ended up giving all the money to the Rolling Stones. And years later, because Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are such great guys, they gave the

publishing and rights to the Verbs, who now make money off of the song. How about that? There you go. So it's very rare that you see that happen. The Stones were like, you know what? Richard Ashcroft, is that the guy's name? Yeah. Here's my final mind blow. Like this episode. This is the great Sherri Lee Lewis. This is my favorite song song and that's why I wanted to end with this. Did you really pick this? Yes. That's cute. Bonus jam. Started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the

Now I always thought it was a song that never ends it's the song that doesn't end so there's a men Mandela effect for you. There you go. I Can't believe cam and stew in the basement again for the first time in almost we are we were real basement dwellers That was fun toast 11 was your last appearance and then 12 through 31, Rob Proust, Bob Ouellette, who did a fantastic job.
