Welcome to the 47th episode of Toronto Mic'd, a weekly podcast about anything and everything,

Rose?
Hello.
Welcome to episode 47.
Hello, Mike. How are you?
Good. I wanted my... Hello, my friend.
See, you can't just do it like 9 out of 10 times and then deprive me.
I get used to it.
How's it going? Oh, then deprive me. I get used to it. How's it going? A week went by fast.
Before we begin, I need you to, we have not discussed this. We don't talk unless we're recording. What do you think of my hair? Be honest. I think it looks great. You're just
saying that? No. Okay. You really mean it? Yeah. I think it looks great. Monica cut it last night.
Oh my God. She did a great job. Monica did it last night. In the kitchen.
It looks really good.
I think in a previous episode,
we discussed that I was going to let Monica cut my hair
and it has happened.
See, I actually thought she'd already cut it.
She did.
This is the second time.
Oh, okay.
Because I've seen you since the wedding
and I know you had said it was getting long.
I don't think I told you it was cut.
No, I did not.
And I didn't notice because I guess I don't think I told you it was cut. No, I did not and I didn't notice
because I guess
I didn't look at your head
but I'm looking at it now.
Because you're too busy
looking at my pectoral muscles?
Sure, right.
I'm not a piece of meat, Rose.
Come on.
And I'm looking at your head.
It looks very good.
Yes.
You are a very lucky man
to have a woman
that can cut your hair.
I would not even attempt
to cut Scott's hair.
Tell Scott, Monica, what kind of hair.
I was going to say, maybe, especially because you guys are moving closer to us, which is so awesome.
I will send Scott over to Monica.
She can cut his hair.
Oh, speaking of Mimico, everybody wants to know if you saw the Stanley Cup last week.
What?
I was so disappointed.
We were all ready to go.
And then we ended up having a meeting at my son's school.
Right when Dave Bolin was cruising down with the Stanley Cup high over his head.
So we were so disappointed.
But it was something somewhat urgent.
You were a correspondent.
I had to go to the art gallery for a meeting.
I knew I wasn't going to see the Stanley Cup.
If I want to see the Stanley Cup, I got to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Right.
King and Front Young?
Where are we?
Yeah, wherever.
I think it's at Front.
Yeah.
Front.
It's on Front Street.
I really wanted to see it because it was practically going by our house.
But yeah, children.
It's a thing.
You have kids.
And it screws up your life. Doesn't your school know it's August? It's a thing. You have kids and... Why is your child...
It screws up your life.
Doesn't your school know it's August?
It's a long story.
That's another podcast.
I was going to say,
that's like another five podcasts.
Yeah.
We always talk about Lord of the Flies.
Do you see this guy?
This is like that episode of Breaking Bad
when Walter White's obsessed with the fly.
Did you ever see that episode?
You know what?
I've never watched Breaking Bad.
I hear it's so good. I have to check it out. There's like a bunch of shows I have to check? You know what? I've never watched Breaking Bad. I hear it's so good.
I have to check it out.
There's like a bunch of shows
I have to check out.
Me too.
I have to do Breaking Bad
and the one that you actually,
I just read about it on your site.
The Orange is the New Black.
Oh, can I just say something?
Yes.
You in the past,
and funny thing is,
I always think of this
when I think of a show
and I think it's,
let's say it's written for women.
Don't say it.
I'm not going to get you. Don't say it. I'm not going to get you.
Don't say it.
I'll say, oh, sexist, sexist cities and the city.
I'll say, oh, that show's written for women.
I still like it, but it's written for women.
You'll like jump.
No, this is the thing.
I feel, I feel sort of bad because I didn't.
Here's the thing.
Yes.
I will concede that certain shows are directed to genders i will
concede that but the reason why you got me all in a kerfuffle about that was because i felt that you
were judging the show before you even gave it a chance and i just wanted to you to approach it
from a gender neutral way i don't dispute that certain things are marketed to genders of course
i mean that just makes sense but i the reason I got upset that day and I went all crazy
is because I actually felt
that you were shutting it down
based on because you thought
it was for a girl.
And that annoyed me
because I thought that you should be,
you know, bigger picture than that.
If you only knew how many episodes
of Sex and the City I've actually seen,
okay, and you know,
I watched every episode of Girls.
That's an awesome show.
And that's because,
of course I know that.
And because I knew that,
it bugged me
because I knew that you were bigger, you know think you were a bigger thinker than than
that so that was why i was up in our i got all i got all crazy in that vein i must have been
annoyed about something else probably in that vein i uh watched the entire first and only so
far season of orange is the new black and uh it is really targeting woman like i want i want you and scott to watch it so
i can hear what scott thinks because even monica thought it was actually a little bit weak she
didn't love it but i have recommended it to my ex because my ex loved like felicity and stuff like
that and this feels like felicity going to jail it's kind of watered down and it's weak but from
the buzz you'd think this was like the next Mad Men or Game of Thrones or something.
But it's not in this category.
But I want you to watch it and tell me what you think.
I was completely underwhelmed.
Okay, I'll check it out.
And I don't think I'll follow it to season two.
I'm kind of curious.
I have to admit, I picked up a summer show.
It's sort of ridiculous, but it's actually really good.
Suits?
Have you heard of Suits?
It's on Bravo. Somebody's in Suits that is Bunk.
Bunk is in Suits from Wire?
Yes.
Okay.
I know it because of that.
And anything with Bunk in it,
I would give it a chance.
It's just fun.
It's just really fun.
You don't need to have seen season one.
This isn't like Game of Thrones.
You can just jump in now.
I think I actually jumped in
like in the middle of an episode.
I don't even really like care
what the plots are, but it's so fun. It's just really, really fun, a fun show. And,
um, it's funny because it's, it's sort of a testament to Bravo because over the years,
I mean, Bravo is on the, um, it's not on the basic cable, is it? It's like, is it one?
Yeah, it's another tier. I don't know.
One tier up. So we have like a one tier up. So we, we get Bravo. And over the years,
I've always liked Bravo because it really does, I feel, like put some
really good stuff on, like good movies and this and that.
And it's to the point now where if I see a show is on Bravo, I'll actually give it a
chance just because it's on Bravo.
Now, I don't have all the winners.
Well, that's what I do with HBO shows.
I do that.
Exactly.
It's kind of the same thing, except, you know, HBO, you have to like pay for, right?
Whereas, you know, Bravo was a little bit lower down there.
So I'm like, oh, Suits is on Bravo.
It must be all right. I have to admit, I don't think if it was just like on the network, I would have given was a little bit lower down there. So I'm like, oh, Suits is on Bravo. It must be alright. I have to admit
I don't think if it was just on the network, I would
have given it a chance. Do they swear?
Can you swear on Bravo? I don't even know
any Bravo shows. No, I don't think so.
I don't think you can swear. So there's no nudity?
I haven't seen any yet. A little
bit of nudity in your orange is the new black,
which is kind of interesting, but not enough
to kind of keep a dude sticking
around, you know? I'm just just saying there's a little lesbian action.
No, what you get on suits is like some, like, it's actually hilarious.
Like the girls wear like these like cliche, like power suits and the men have like sharp digs.
Exactly.
That is exactly it.
That's what I think of when I think of women in power suits.
The big long hair and like the stiletto heels.
Like these stiletto heels could like slit your throat that these girls wear.
It's awesome.
It's really, really, really fun.
Yeah.
So, okay.
Orange is in the new black.
I'll have it.
No, that's just Netflix, right?
You know, I haven't done the Netflix thing yet.
I haven't.
When I stop recording, I'll tell you a little secret about it.
Oh, good.
Okay.
Because I have to say I'm at my maximum budget for entertainment.
Isn't Netflix like, I don't know, eight bucks a month or something.
I don't know.
Two of these coffees probably cost more.
Well,
you got me there.
Look at this.
I could have bought Netflix.
And this,
I'm not sure how many episodes we'll be recording in this Toronto Mike studio
before it relocates.
I was going to ask you that.
How many podcasts left here?
Because Mike is moving.
I'm so excited.
Well, here's the thing. This apartment is mine until the end of September, but I have the new house in early September.
So somewhere between those two days, it's like a cutoff and I have to figure it out. But it'd be probably earlier rather than later.
Okay.
So yeah, this studio's got to get packed up and relocated, of course, which is exciting.
And everything's in flux.
I don't know when the last time you moved was.
2003.
10 years ago.
See how quick I did that, man?
So I mean, I happened to have moved two and a half years ago.
I move a lot, I think, but I'm moving hopefully for the last time.
Maybe I can die in this new home.
Is that okay?
You know what?
I saw your new home.
And I actually took my mom to see it.
We drove by it.
I think you should die there.
I love it.
You did so well.
I already told you this, but you did so well.
So you want me to die, Rose?
It's so pretty.
Well, I was going to save a big backyard.
Monica could just, you know, because you'll go before her.
She'll bury me?
Monica can just bury you back there.
I want, like, the least hassle,friendly uh just body disposal after my death do you know that apparently like
cremation is everyone it's not it's actually does a lot of nasty stuff to the environment
whatever uh the guy nate fisher remember nate jr from uh six feet under that's another show i
okay so no i don't know who you mean n Nate had, I shouldn't, actually, that's probably an epic spoiler.
I should probably bail right now.
Let's not do spoilers.
We'll bail.
But they were in the, I should point out, they were in the funeral home business.
Right.
So you don't know.
Okay.
All right.
So yeah, the move logistics, fun days ahead.
We have to go to Edmonton.
We have to go to Edmonton.
What are you going to Edmonton for?
Her brother's got a wedding in like the end of August. Oh my gosh. Monica's family had two weddings in a year. Correct. That's
so nice. So I have to go to Edmonton, but apparently Edmonton has nothing there. So we're
going to go to like Jasper and Banff where there's stuff that could be like, yeah. And then just go
to Edmonton for the wedding and then get back here. But it's kind of between now and the move is this Edmonton thing we kind of have to do. Well, you guys look like you're
starting to pack things up. So. But we don't have her house here yet. Like her house closes in
early September. So I'm going to have to do one trip that moves her house to the new house and
then one trip that moves this place to the new house. So you're going to do Monica's stuff from
her house to the new house and then this stuff there. And
then see what we have. Probably too much. You know what? You probably will have too much.
Minimal. Keep it simple. I think you guys, you guys will be fine. You probably won't need,
you won't need much. I already bought your housewarming present. I already told you that.
I'm excited. I know. It's cool. Do you listen to terrestrial radio? Oh yeah. You like the talk
radio. I just remembered you like your 1010 and stuff.
Do you ever listen to FM?
Okay.
Be honest.
Sometimes, but what'll happen is,
because I actually do like to listen to the radio.
I don't have satellite radio in my car.
It's in Scott's car.
My car is just radio and CDs.
But there's something, I've always loved radio.
There's just something about the connectivity of it. Like I love listening to the radio. I always have. So
I will check in when I'm tired of the talk. I do like the talking. I listen to all the talk radio
stations. Um, but when I'm tired of the talking. You don't find it too conservative, those talk
stations? Oh, they're horrible, but they're, they're terribly conservative, but you know what?
I still, I don't know. I just, I like, I like the conversation. I like just the talking.
I jump around though.
And some shows are obviously better than others.
And I'm never in the car for like huge periods of time.
So,
you know what I mean?
But,
but I will like check into FM because I do like to hear the music,
but the problem is it's so awful.
I check out quite quickly.
Do you ever listen to the Dean Blundell morning show on 102.1?
No.
Did you ever listen to it? It's been around like for 102.1? No. Did you ever listen to it?
It's been around for a while, I guess.
No, I never.
That's one thing.
I never listen to the Edge's morning shows because it's just not my humor.
It's just boy humor.
So they target males.
Yes.
Interesting.
I've come around.
I've come around.
Because you're absolutely right.
They target teenagers, I think.
Some boys. Some boys.
So if I were to tell you that Toddy Tickles, a.k.a. Todd Shapiro, was fired from that morning show, that would mean very little to you.
I read about it on your website.
So if it wasn't for that, I would not have been aware of it.
Although his name does...
Todd Shapiro sounds...
You know what they call them on Humble andred i remember him as like an intern on humble and
fred and they call them retod does that ring a bell because i mean as you might have heard rose
i'm uh a big humble and fred fan that's ridiculous they call them retod this is back when uh jason
barr was being known as danger boy okay yeah Humble and Fred like to dehumanize you
and demoralize you with a crappy nickname
like your husband got.
Oh, yes.
Nothing can be worse than poor Scott.
You know I can't say it.
Oh, yeah.
It's like cock lick.
Except they wouldn't say the C.
Cock lick.
Exactly.
That's it.
Oh, yeah.
I'm well aware of how those two roll.
So, okay.
So, quickly after Humble and Fred
moved to
Mojo Radio 640,
the re-Todd got
rebranded Todd Shapiro,
and Danger Boy was rebranded
Jason Barr, and now both have been fired.
Now, that's
interesting. So they were both fired? Yeah, at different
times. Barr was fired over a year
ago. Because Danger Boy,
I think Scottott you went to
school with him didn't you i didn't i don't think i went to school with him but i i think scott may
have i think scott worked with him cross paths with him and i think he was quite he's sorry he
was quite funny so um uh that's fired so are people upset about this like are you okay yeah
so that's no no i'm indifferent to it although jason bar hooked me up with like uh casby tickets
and edge fest tickets and stuff so i was sorry but this is jason bar hooked me up with like uh casby tickets and edge fest tickets and stuff
so i was sorry but this is jason barr is old news the new news is toddy tickles um todd shapiro
being fired apparently uh this happened and i get crazy people like people will search todd shapiro
fired and end up on my site so the comments for my entry about it are quite fascinating um how do howard and fred
feel about it were they like do they have a opinion on that because when they actually i'm
they have an opinion and i have talked to them i've talked to fred about it and i'm not allowed
to share their opinion oh interesting why is that just because of um just they don't want to be on the record if they haven't even
acknowledged it on their show got it so i can't speak to their opinion except that it is interesting
what happened there and i just wondered uh who's listening to dean blundell anymore it seems like
young i know young people like it but i know that we're like pushing 40s we're way out of that demo
yeah we are we that's and you know what that wasn't
although you know
I had some girlfriends
that loved his show
like really thought
he was
yeah really thought
he was funny
he's not funny
you know what
they thought he was hilarious
my friend
I used to work with this girl
Krista
when I worked at Skydome
and she loved that show
that like she thought
I think she had a huge crush on him
she thought he was hilarious that's why when I say boy humor that's actually not even really fair
because you know she thought it was she thought it was a riot but um um yeah you know he definitely
I feel like the people that like his show really he really inspires loyalty because they're really
into it like I don't think people just like it casually you either really like it it or you don't. That's the Howard Stern effect. People who hate him
would listen more than the people who loved him. Exactly. I happen to love Howard Stern. But
I actually, this is a roundabout way to ask you if you have listened to the brand new FM station,
we have, it launched last week. It's called Indie 88. It's at 88.1. And I'm going to let you tell
me your opinion on this new station. I love it. I have
been listening to it nonstop. I love it. I bike with it. Love it. You know, I don't, I know
everyone's, you know, cynical. Oh, it's not going to stay this, you know, it's going to get blah,
blah, blah. It's going to change. It's going to suck. The ads will appear. I'm enjoying the ad.
Well, that's the thing. That's why I've been listening to it nonstop. But here's the thing.
It is so nice to have... I think there's been some controversy over, is it really truly an
indie station? Here's what it is. It's exactly what we need on the radio right now for people
that still like to listen to the radio sometimes. It is an alternative. Alternative music,
it's an alternative to the mainstream. I love music. It's an alternative to the mainstream.
I love it.
It's so refreshing to have on.
I'm actually sort of in shock at it,
that it's got such amazing variety.
Lots of pixies.
And yeah, it's a very good mix.
It's got everything.
It's got a great mix.
And you know,
there's some people that come like,
oh,
you know,
there's Oasis.
There's,
you know,
a little bit.
That's fine.
That's fine.
But that's not what they mean by indie 88.
You know what they mean?
They're not one of the big,
they're not Chorus or Rogers or Bell bell which just gobbled up astral
or chum they are a smaller company that owns this they're not talking about the music necessarily
the station is not owned by one of the conglomerates i just love it to me it is just i
just feel like it has been years since there's been something on the in the toronto market dial that i can push and it's not
awful it is not immediately i agree it's me angry it's so nice i like like 90 of the songs i'm
really enjoying like it's a really and they're playing new stuff i don't know but i'm liking
they're playing they play older stuff you'd ever hear yes new what new there's a lot of new i'm
really impressed at the can con that the can band, they have been playing such an electric... Japan droids and all that?
Such an electric mix of Canadian
bands and really interesting
stuff. There's this band,
it's actually funny, I had only
really just, they'd only just come across
my consciousness.
It's this band from Winnipeg and
I think... Crash Test Dummies.
Actually, they're from
Winnipeg. I think they're based in Hamilton now
I feel terrible
because now I can't
remember their name
but I shazammed
I heard their song
I heard this song
this gorgeous
like folky
folky type song
and I shazammed it
and I was like
oh my god
and I was like
oh my god
it's Canadian
keep going
you might get it
I don't know
it's pretty small
and I was like
oh this song is so cool
I love it
and I love that
it's Canadian band
it's so interesting
it's music I hadn't heard before and sure enough the first day
i'm listening to 88.1 july talk and i hear the song no it's so annoying so annoying when i can't
remember i'm terrible at remembering the band names but they're they're great it was so good
i just i love it so we're happy with indie you know i'm gonna so happy they invited me to come
see their studio what it's it's apparently it's like a laptop like
it's like this studio i love it you know what it's all done through the macbook i was listening
to it driving here and it dropped out for a bit and then it came back signal but i loved it but
i love that like that to me was like i was like oh my god i love that it's dropping out because
it just shows how indie it is it's like exactly this is they have a request in front of the crtc
to boost their signal to lose that wonderful
quality.
It's so great.
Like I'm on Eglinton and it drops out.
I'm like, that is so funny, but I didn't care.
It's a very weak signal.
It just means that, you know, it just feels like there's like some soul there.
Like there's some actual, it isn't just this big, yeah, the big machinery of ads, right?
It's driving the music.
And because, I mean, everyone knows nowadays on the radio that DJs don't choose their music.
Like that's all gone.
That's long gone.
Are there even DJs anymore? I don't even think so no so it's pretty cool i love it it's like
perfect this is just such a nice thing to have happen this summer a new radio station for when i
i'm driving around doing my stuff so enjoy it while it's ad free because nothing's worse than
i bike for half an hour and i put that on i use tune in the app the android app they have one for
iphones too and i love the fact i'm just going to hear music for this half an hour.
I don't have to hear like three minute blocks of commercials,
which I can't stand anymore.
Like I've lost all tolerance for ads.
Same.
Because that's why I listen to CBC Radio 1 all the time.
I don't have any ads.
Okay, so we agree on Indy 88.
Yep.
And would you recognize, there's a race car driver?
He's an Indy racer named James Hinchcliffe.
If he walked up to you and said,
hi, I'm James.
How are you?
Would you know who he is?
I think I would because isn't he the guy from Oakville
in the GoDaddy ads?
He is the guy from Oakville and he does do GoDaddy ads.
Yes, I would actually, because it's really funny.
I buy all my domains from GoDaddy
and it was actually i was
getting really annoyed because i found that their advertising was sexist with the danica what's her
face patrick yeah it's like really go daddy like honestly like it was starting to really annoy me
then i saw they ran a maybe they were getting feedback that you know women were not liking it
and i noticed they started doing it with with this um james guy and, all right, okay. So a little male eye candy in your ads.
I mean, I still think it's all kind of cheesy, but...
Is he good looking?
He's all right, sure.
Okay.
But I do know him, yes.
Okay.
Two things.
One is I did everything I could to move all of my domains away from GoDaddy.
But that's not what this is about.
This is about James Hinchcliffe.
So Chevy invites me to this after Toronto Indy party.
I guess it's called the Honda Indy, but Chevy won't call it that.
So they call it the Toronto Indy.
And I go to this party and it's called Hinch Town.
So Monica and I are at this party and it's fine.
You know, Chevy's picking up the tab at the bar.
We're having a great time.
Where was the location of the party?
It was like, oh crap, where was it?
Like Queen and...
Oh, so it's downtown.
Yeah.
And it's a great venue.
I can't remember what it's called now.
But we're there and it's a great party.
But James Hinchcliffe mills about like a guest.
He's the guest of honor, but he's kind of milling around.
He's like chatting up people at the party and kind of walking around the party.
Apparently, it's mainly people at the party and kind of walking around the party apparently it's mainly americans at this party uh it was a really late night on a sunday and the americans were in town
for the indie i guess and i don't i don't know how you get into this guest list but somehow we got on
it and i just thought it was strange that like i i just was like james hinchcliffe which is a guy at
the party kind of chow uh uh chatting us up and i wouldn't I didn't even like really recognize him.
He was just like
a regular guy.
It's like,
oh,
that's James Hinchcliffe.
That's kind of cool.
I mean,
now that I think about it,
you know,
I think I feel like
I would recognize him
because he was in so many,
I feel like I saw him
in so many bus ads,
like full life bus ads,
but in his racing uniform.
I'm not sure if I'd recognize him
in just street clothes.
He looks like a regular guy.
He's not a big guy or anything.
He's just a regular,
humble,
he's,
like you said,
he's from Oakville,
so he's got that, you know, Canadian humility built in, I guess.
But yeah, that's, that's funny.
I just thought that was interesting milling around with James Hinchcliffe at Hinchtown.
And we're not erasing.
It's totally, I gave the tickets away.
I had VIP tickets for the entire Indy and I gave them to a guy on my volleyball team
for him to take his boyfriend.
That's nice.
Yes.
And I didn't even care to go that's how much i
am into the indie i went to the indie once um years ago scott had been covering it and he got
some tickets and i was so not looking forward to it i was like oh this is gonna be really boring
and it was so much fun and it was they did the other the racing of the other cars after um
i forget you know the nascar yes exactly yeah and that was actually even I found
that hilarious because it was like it was like cars like the kind of car like you know it was
like a Corolla or something it was all like souped up and it was so loud and crazy it was it was fun
thing to do to do once um but it's hot I just remember being like really really really hot
would you go back I think like you know if it was yeah if it was like you know comps tickets
that kind of thing i would i'm not sure i'd pay to to go back you know um i don't know that being
said it was it was quite it was quite fun it would be a fun thing to take uh although it's loud take
nicholas too yeah it's because what is he he's three he's three yeah maybe when he's like
i'm still amazed i talked about
it last week i'm still blown away he sat through five innings at the blue jay game i'm just you
know it's funny it's such a spin i'm disappointed he didn't make it nine well come on i'll be honest
with you he probably would have but i was bored that's the truth you know what the truth just
came out you use him as an excuse my brother does that oh you know my son needs to go but no no my brother needs to go well i think so because my dad actually
called because i was we were there with scott and my dad and my dad totally called i was like oh
he's getting restless time to go he's like yeah you want to leave your board that's funny. My dad's a huge baseball fan. I'm not. I got a note here that you have been violated.
Rose, listen, first of all, you do know there's help for you.
Like anyone who's listening who feels violated, there's people you can talk to.
Tell me who violated you.
It wasn't a person.
It was a chair.
Okay, this is...
You're really curious about this story. Well, yeah, anytime you're violated, I want to hear about it. It was weird. It was a chair. Okay, this is... You're really curious about this story.
Well, yeah, anytime you're violated, I want to hear about it.
It was a weird thing.
Okay, so once in a while, I will go for a manicure and a pedicure.
And I recently went...
There's a place I always like to go near my house.
And I went yesterday.
Yesterday was the Simcoe Day.
It was the holiday Monday. the Simcoe day. It was the, the
holiday Monday. So my usual place was closed. So I had to venture to a new spot. Um, so I kind of
just, you know, drove around, found one. I'm not fussy, went in and, um, as any, um, woman or man
that's gone for, um, to a spa for manicure, pedicure, often they will have the chairs
that when you sit
in the chair, it vibrates.
So there's a little controller and it'll have all these different settings of vibrations
and, you know, there'll be like little shiatsu things and all this kind of stuff.
And you press the button for like a certain amount of time and you put, you know, do you
want it to vibrate?
Do you want it to rotate?
You know what I mean?
It does all these things to you.
Okay.
It's sort of just fun while you're getting your pedicure.
So I went in.
I sat in the chair.
And normally I just get a pedicure.
I don't get a manicure because they don't last.
But I don't know.
I was tired and they were like, we're going to just give you a manicure.
A manicure is the hands.
A pedicure is the feet.
Exactly.
So I get in the chair and I put my feet in the correct spot
and the lady begins and I survey sort of the options
of the rotation on the chair, the vibrations on the chair.
And I select one.
There was one that was, you just press it. It was sort of pre-selected for you and it's going to work its way through your body. Great, fine select, I select one. There was that one that was, um, you just press it.
It was sort of preselected for you and it's going to work its way through your body. Great. Fine.
So I press it, it begins, it's rolling the machines, the chair starts vibrating and it's,
you know, it's quite nice. Then the, um, another lady came and she's like, well, I'm going to do
your manicure at the same time, which is, you know, that happens quite often. They'll do the
manicure at the same time as the pedicure. So one lady's doing my pedicure.
The other lady's doing my manicure.
So I am, I'm sort of incapacitated.
I can't move.
So the chair's going.
Everything's good.
And then I noticed that the chair had been rolling sort of on my back.
And then it had been rolling on my sides.
And then underneath my thighs.
my back and then it had been rolling on my sides and then underneath my thighs and then this sort of rotating ball appears where i'm sitting between your legs correct but right between my legs like
it was but was this uh i was surprised i. Well, first I was surprised because it was quite, it wasn't subtle.
It was just like, hello, here is a giant vibrating ball right where you're sitting.
So I was like, oh, oh my.
And it just, and I couldn't move.
I couldn't, I couldn't do anything and I couldn't stop it.
So I just went with it.
And you went with it.
It was really, it was an aggressive machine.
It was a really aggressive chair.
Just surprising because, you know, I've been to a few different places, sat in a few of those chairs.
Never had one go there.
But this is, I don't think you're violated if it's consensual.
I see what you're saying.
Like, you opted in and you chose to remain.
I would argue that was a consensual moment.
I consented to the chair.
Yeah, the chair was really, really, I just.
Did you set up a second date with the chair?
I'm going straight there afterwards.
Are you now going there every day?
There was an episode, I think it was Curb Your Enthusiasm,
where the chair would do that.
The chair would give women orgasms.
Well, it's just that it wasn't just...
It wasn't that the chair was vibrating.
There was like...
Penetration?
It was getting there. It was it was it was like it was getting there it was
really so i was just i was just surprised i was surprised because i've never seen a chair and
then i'm looking i'm like you know it doesn't it's did i hit the secret button like what was
the name of this setting again um i i want to say it was shiatsu shiatsu and where is this again
i'm asking for a friend when we stop recording i'll need an address
i could give you the i could give you the location yeah i think you i don't think you
were violated i think you were pleasured well it wasn't i mean it was it was certainly it was
certainly like i said so surprising i'm not gonna say it was you know i didn't run you know screaming
i mean what could i do it wasn't my fault And you did set up a second appointment right away.
I'm not saying I wouldn't go back to the chair.
It was very, very interesting.
So here are the things that happen
when you venture outside your, you know, usual spots.
Yeah, don't get a pedicure on Simcoe day.
You know what?
It's actually a terrible day to try to do anything.
But yeah.
Rose, I just got a note.
I just got a real-time note.
Apparently we're live somewhere.
Cause this note reads that the statute of limitations on spoilers for six feet under
has expired.
So I did not, I did not actually, uh, violate any, uh, code.
I know your statute of limitations is very short.
Like if it aired yesterday, you can blab about the fact that whatever happened happened.
But I, my statute, I give it, yeah, you got like a short, weeks i say that's inappropriate i need i'm gonna say at least a year six months
to a year minimum yeah we disagree this is fine we've disagreed we disagree but six feet under
uh many years ago we're fine i can tell you everything about six feet under and it doesn't
violate any uh i can also tell you about the ending of Sixth Sense. That's Statue of Limitation.
I can now finally tell you that I actually
guessed the ending within the first 20
minutes of that movie.
Do you know that I... Have never seen it.
I was completely
surprised. Completely. Rose, just because you
don't think ahead in the movie. I did not think ahead in the movie.
I do feel like I'm one
of those few people that enjoyed
complete and utter surprise
you know what it was fantastic it really was it was really lovely to not see it coming at all
don't ruin the ending of usual suspects either do you know can i i mean can i tell you what
happened in the sopranos i mean you're hilarious yeah sopranos is fine because statute of limitations has passed. Okay. Okay.
And a couple of housekeeping notes.
One is this lovely podcast is presented to you completely free.
But if you felt like being generous,
you could pledge my Terry Fox run.
Oh, nice.
I do it every year and I skipped last year
because I had to go to Europe during the run.
But there's a link on the top left corner of torontomike.com. There's a link to
pledge. If someone listening would cough up 20 bucks or something, remember that money, contrary
to popular belief, it doesn't go into my bank account. It actually goes straight to the Terry
Fox people and they do good work. So pledge my run. I'm running this thing in September at High
Park. And I want to say to the people at White Birches Cottages,
they rent cottages near Huntsville,
that I'll see them next weekend.
Me and the family are going to rent a cottage
near Huntsville at White Birches Cottages,
and I'll write about that when I get back.
So nice.
You guys will have such a good time.
I hope it is warm.
I think it will be.
I think so. Promise?
Can't promise.
Do you have anything you want to say before we go? Have you rented any
have you borrowed any new cars?
No, but... Any more
Hyundai's?
In the fall, I think I'm going to
give the Santa Fe
a whirl. Exciting.
I can't wait to hear
how it goes.
I know.
I'm pretty pumped.
That's it.
That's all I got.
On that note,
on that disappointing note,
that brings us
to the end
of our 47th show.
Rose,
did you ever think
we'd hit 47?
It's crazy.
You can follow.
It is fun.
You can follow me on Twitter at Toronto Mike and Rosie at Rosie in Toronto.
See you all next week.
Bye for now. Thank you.
