Toronto Mike'd: The Official Toronto Mike Podcast - Toronto Mike'd #64

Episode Date: January 22, 2014

Mike and Elvis chat about Oscar nominated movies, Canada Goose jackets, Hulkamania in 1987 and Amanda's breasts.

Welcome to the 64th episode of Toronto Mic'd, a weekly podcast about anything and everything, often with a distinctly Toronto flavour. I'm Mike from torontomic.com and joining me is my brother from another mother, Eldis. And hosting this audio file are the good people at core fusion welcome back elvis so i got a review for you this is mrs elvis mrs elvis listen to the podcast uh since i've been on them and uh she's a fan she likes them although she had one critique which is as she always does there's never a you know like hey this is fantastic uh without a butt and her butt was surprisingly she says that you fucking swore too much me yeah she said that you were she said first of all she's she doesn't necessarily like the hour-long format because she tries to listen in between caring for our children, and it can be difficult for her to find a consecutive hour. Brother Steven had the identical feedback.

And so then when she does try – she tried to listen to the first one that I was on while the kids kids were around and she had to turn it off because she said that you were swearing too much which is funny because she says i swear too much i never swore when rosie was in that seat never once in fact in itunes it's uh like um non-explicit it's marked like i have it identified in the xml as non-explicit because with rosie we never swore really i don't know why. When you changed our category to... It's the chemistry. Farmer channel?

My chemistry with you is full of curse words. Rosie's becoming the Facebook superstar. Have you noticed that? I'm her Facebook friend, and I have not noticed this. You know why? Because you are boycotting liking her employer's page on Facebook. It's not Rosie. It's her employer's how that's how that's but how it oh because not rosie it's her employer it's employer but they're constantly taking pictures of her in various locations well that's not that's not rosie's like i'm rosie's friend and i see all her updates because she's

on a list i created that i i look at so i can see everything what you have 40 friends you don't need a list yeah because you know the algorithm algorithm for Facebook would hide certain things as if I wasn't interested. And I didn't like Facebook telling me what I should be interested in. I want to see everything from all of my friends. Wow. So I have a list. And that's the workaround. All 40 of your friends are on this list.

It's like 50, Elvis. And you're on that list. And Mrs. Elvis is on that list. So Mrs. Elvis said I I swore too much. But did she find it funny? She enjoyed the podcast. She liked the content. She thought it was good.

Did she laugh out loud like Monica did twice in that episode? She doesn't. Like Monica, she doesn't laugh out loud. She's not a laugh out loud type of person. She did say that it was very funny, though. Because that lawn bowling part where we had the uh with larry telling us larry and we asked him over one yeah monica laughed out loud for that part now giving feedback on podcasts speaking sticking with that theme before i completely derail the uh the podcast here i tried to listen to a podcast that i was not on. And I listened to the podcast that you had with Amanda. Yesterday.

Yes. And it was interesting. There was no swear words. It was interesting. Yeah, you didn't say, you said boobies. I know. I think I said boobies once,

but mostly I called them breasts. Now you said boobies a bunch of times. Okay. She also said boobies. But not a swear word. Two comments. One is I was on my bike, so I had to turn it off because you guys were not inspiring me to continue to pedal.

So I only caught maybe about 15 minutes of it. But two, I didn't listen long enough to find out what size she is now. I heard that she was a 30 AA, which is essentially a training bra. But you never – the follow-up question. It came very shortly thereafter. But it should have been right away. It should have been boom, boom, like left, right. training bra but you never the follow-up question you you came very shortly thereafter you should have been right away should have been boom boom like left no because you should you would have had to hang around what size were you so okay so you were only good for 15 minutes uh on the

amanda pot now admittedly the chem you know chemistry is everything in this damn i agree i agree so rosie we have a very comfortable style. It doesn't go into swear words, but it's very comfortable, and everything's bananas. With you, it's equally comfortable, but it's a little different, a little more sweary and ball-breaky and a little more snarky. A little more snarky. Ball-breaky. Then with Amanda, I don't have the same kind of friendship with her that I do with you and Rosie. more snarky a little more snarky ball breaking then with amanda now i'm in it now a we're not i don't have the same kind of friendship with her that i do with you and rosie so sure although we are comfortable i like her but we're still getting to know each other so to speak we don't have that

uh rhythm but and and let's be clear like i've met amanda one time she seemed like a very nice person we actually had a conversation she's's a nice person. However, she's someone's girlfriend. You were interviewing her because she got a food job. She's a friend's girlfriend. It's not like as if you're interviewing a celebrity or whatever. I could imagine it probably would have been a little bit awkward for you because you did try and bring her in as a co-host for the entire show. It wasn't like you gave her a 10-minute segment.

I thought I'd do the hybrid. So as you know, episodes of Toronto Mic'd are one of two varieties. There's the buddy in to shoot the shit variety, and there's I want to interview this person. Right. So Bingo Bob was two episodes, three episodes ago maybe. Yeah, thumbs down from my wife on that one. Okay, so Bingo Bob was I'm going to interview Bingo Bob. She actually said, who's Bingo Bob?

Well, that's the thing. If you don't care at all about Toronto Radio, then skip Bingo Bob's interview. Right. Okay. So Bingo Bob, and most people who listen to this care a little bit about Toronto Radio. I would suspect a lot. A lot. So Bingo Bob was very interesting to a lot of people, but not Mrs. Elvis.

So with Bingo Bob, and this will be the same with Alan Cross, it'll be the same with Todd Shapiro, and it'll be the same with Jonathan Torrens. Because you listened to the first 15 minutes. Okay, so you know what I'm talking about. Let's rewind the clock here on this. Stop the clock. Oh, that's the middle driver. You get an email from a dude who's named Jonathan saying, I want to record a podcast in your house. Correct. And you have to think twice about that.

Potential revenue opportunity. You know, Monica's rule. Yet, yet, yet, the city loses power and you broadcast to the entire universe and say, just show up at my house. Monica wasn't cool with that either. This is all consistent.

Elvis, Elvis. Your logic is severely flawed. No, it is because I co-own the house. Listen, Monica didn't want strangers sleeping here during the storm, and she doesn't want strangers recording here. But this should have been something that was pretty apparent before you actually made that tweet. It's just funny now that some guy contacts you and says, hey, I'm willing to rent out your podcast studio. What do you think? And you're like, well, who the fuck is this guy?

What's his last name? I want to make sure he's not a crazy person. A little background. When I bought this equipment, I told Monica my vision was to actually make it a revenue-generating service. I would actually produce for money podcasts and have people come in. This was the original plan. Sure. Yes.

She said she wasn't comfortable with people i didn't know coming coming over you need to rent a storage unit is what i need i need something that's what you've been outsiders so i out of respect for this demand of hers that i have to like vet people like i have to know them so so far no one's actually come over i didn't know but there's a huge asterisk to that apparently and that is if the city's out of power, you're just going to open up doors for everyone to come and show up. Yes, that's correct. That is my benevolence over. I'm listening to that and I'm like – I'm yelling as I'm cycling.

I'm like, what the fuck is going on here? Yes, but my dear friend, I did get that – Monica was not happy with that. That was the whole point of our discussion. Yeah, I know. We talked about it. I got my spanking for that or whatever, and then I decided with the Jonathan thing, I got to find out. Maybe I know some Jonathans. Jonathan Sin didn't. I know some Jonathans.

Okay, but how is the vetting process going to work here? Because I've heard some stories of a Jonathan Torrance, and you may not necessarily want him in your house. Well, the same with Todd Shapiro. You're right. Actually, that's probably an even better example. The risk is minimized when they're – famous people, people like O.J. Simpson and stuff, they're harmless. They're famous. Okay.

Well, have you listened to the most recent Louis C.K. special? Oh, my god. Probably. He starts off the show saying that today was a crazy day for him because he received a phone call from President Barack Obama. And Barack Obama calls him and essentially the conversation is, hey, how's it going? And Louie's like, hey, I'm just in Phoenix to do a show. And the president says, Phoenix? I heard Phoenix is filled with a bunch of fags. And he's like, whoa, whoa. And so his response to President Barack Obama is three parts.

One is, who says that? Two, Phoenix isn't known for that. And three, shame on you, Mr. President, for using that word. That's a bad word. No one should use that. And then the conversation goes to, well, you know, I was just in Wisconsin yesterday at 3 o'clock in the the morning and i walked into somebody's house and drank milk out of their milk carton and pissed all over their floor and they came downstairs and said what the hell are you doing he's like why don't you just go ahead and tell everybody that you want to tell i'm the president no one

will believe you yeah so if todd shapiro comes in here and takes a big shit on your staircase no one's gonna believe you when you come on the microphone afterwards and say hey you know what todd shapiro just took a big shit in my house. No one's going to remember that. That's a valid point. Your logic is completely flawed in this area. You definitely need to rent that storage unit. You didn't like the Amanda podcast.

I never said that. It wasn't worth more than 50 minutes of your life. I wasn't in the right space to be able to listen to that. I needed to hear some music. I was cycling. From now on, when able to listen to that. I needed to hear some music. I was cycling. You know, Stephen, from now on when I refer to my brother, I saw my family recently because my brother, my son turned 12.

Yes. And we had a party, thank you, on his behalf. So my mom on Facebook did it again. I wrote, my boy's 12 today and I put a picture and she wrote, happy birthday James, grandma loves you. James is never going to see this. I love it. James is not on facebook does your mom go back and comment on photos that are obviously months and months old my mom does that and it's creepy because it's like fine though it's quite obvious that you're creeping someone's profile because you just

commented on a photo that was very obviously posted in the summertime and saying oh what a lovely time that looks like you had i'm like ma oh yeah no that's weird that's like when pete mcfedgehan replies to tweets that are like a week old and it's like that's long gone this doesn't mean anything anymore it's over i don't even remember what i said yeah this is real time you got like a 20 minute window 20 minutes that's it it's like 20 minute window if you're sleeping you missed it game over the uh My mom, real quick, she had this shitty internet plan with two gigabytes of data, and it was a big thing with her. Oh, I remember this.

And everyone who would come over, my son loves YouTube, and actually my nephew, who's like three, loves YouTube. And she's like, watch my gigabytes. Watch my gigabytes, boys. And this is a big thing to her. The gigabytes. So for like $5 more, she could probably get like a million gigabytes. It's an extra gig.

It was a gig. But she actually finally got a better plan that will put her up to 20 gigabytes okay so it's like you know it's funny 20 gigabytes is a dial-up no it's not dial-up so now she went from two to 20 which is significant she's been living with two for like a couple of years can you imagine 20 gigabytes on a dial-up modem it would last you uh forever it'd be 20 gigabytes for the year that's right so that's exactly right so uh now so nate he put she puts her neph she's babysitting my nephew nate which is her grandson and he's three and she lets him go on some youtube stuff and then she's calls me all worried she wants to check if she's if because he was on YouTube for like a few hours, did that eat up her 20 gigabytes of data.

Oh, my goodness. And I told her how to self-check, and it was like 1% gone or something. Isn't there like a website or something? Yeah, that's what I coached her through, the self-check where you're at with your 20 gigs. But I'm like, you just lived this life of two gigabytes, and now you have 20. So just do a little more you don't you know you can do 10 times more actually is she uh on with a major provider rogers oh wow the the majorist wow major there's nothing more major than rogers anyway so you know you haven't told me to to close

the door on this what did amanda get to in terms of her boob size? C. I don't remember the rest of the parts. So she's a C. She's a C now. And she, okay, so she was always faking C. This was what she was doing. Right, yes. I heard this part. So every time we saw her, like in that dress at the wedding, she looked like a C.

I don't remember. I actually honestly tried to remember if I had ever seen cleavage. And I was proud of myself that I couldn't remember this. Because there's some guys out there who can tell you like every cleavage they've seen, you know. I couldn't remember if I had seen ever seen cleavage. And I was proud of myself that I couldn't remember this. Because there's some guys out there who can tell you every cleavage they've seen. I couldn't remember if I had seen Amanda's cleavage. So I was trying to figure out, because she said she was like a 12-year-old boy.

I have recently seen a 12-year-old boy naked. I know you've heard this, but not everyone's heard this. So she's now a C-cup. I feel like I'm cycling again. And she's happy. Okay, so we'll move on. Listen, have you ever been with a woman who had fake breasts?

Does Mrs. Elvis have fake breasts? No. Let's not talk about that. So you have. I have. No, no, no. Let's not talk about my wife's boobies. Just at the Rio, which is okay.

Well, paid or not paid? I'm paid. No, I have not. I'm paid. Paid doesn't count. If you go to strip club it doesn't count i have not yeah me neither aren't you interested to talk to somebody who had this procedure i thought no i thought the conversation was uh was interesting especially since that we know the person but i i've also had friends who've had breast uh jobs of course you have of course well freddie p had one done. True, but the other direction. They got smaller.

Last thing is I was proud of myself that I was able to have a lengthy discussion with an attractive woman in my house about her breasts, and I never got sleazy or dirty. It was funny. On your website, people commented about how they thought that you did a good job. But don't you think I was respectful? And then some asshole comments, dude, send us pictures. You owe us pictures. I saw that. Everyone's an idiot. I told you that. Last episode

you'd recorded, by the way, congratulations. Three times in a row you said you were coming at a certain time and you delivered. Ding, ding, ding. After three failures, you've done three successes. So if this trend continues. So we're back at a clean slate now. Yeah.

You're like Kessel, you know. You take a month off and then you score like 11 goals in four games. But that's what top talent does sometimes. You know, you're in ebbs and flows. I'll take it. The theme song. Last episode, you wanted to comment on the Toronto Mic theme song. Yeah, I'm not a fan.

I'm just in the background, nice and quiet while we discuss it. A little background. No offense to the guy who recorded it. Because I know it's a custom thing for you. Yeah, Ill Vibe, a local musician. I refer to as Illy. Like the coffee. Yeah, like the coffee.

Illy put this together for me. That's his rap, and he wrote this rhyme, and he got those beats. Hey, I mean. So tell me, though. Sure. This was a great debate when I originally, because this has been the theme song for all 64 episodes. Right. It's not my thing.

Mine would have involved guitar and drums, probably. Like ACDC. have involved uh guitar and drums probably like acdc no i mean if i like the idea of having a local artist do the the intro for a uh a local podcast but uh i wouldn't have chosen hip-hop if it was me but you're more of a hip-hop fan than i am i am more of a hip-hop fan than you are i i'm i am a fan and have been of of whatever but you're in love with... I actually like this beat. I'm super biased, but if you stripped out the Toronto Mike part, I actually think it's a funky beat.

Sure. I enjoy it. Good for you. So you're okay if I keep it? I don't believe that. As a signature. If you're giving me a say, I think that's a different thing.

But I mean, what? Am I not going to come on the podcast because this song is not my thing? Some people hate it. Some people love it. But the people who hate it just think it's too cool for me. Well, that doesn't take very much.

Monica doesn't think I can pull this off. This is a cool hip-hop vibe, and I'm like this loser. Lame-o. I was going to say that. Lame-o. So she doesn't think I can pull it off. I'm with Monica on this one. It's not my podcast.

It's not your podcast. Did you see that they have announced the nominations for best picture at the oscar do you care about this at all i do i i enjoy the oscars uh the oscars to me are um i i love movies so i like to see the awards you know i could do without the red carpet garbage but uh i enjoy watching the oscars i what i usually do though is i'll watch the beginning and end up pvr in theing the rest and then just watching it the next day without commercials and fast forwarding through all the shitty acceptance speeches that I don't want to see. How many of the best picture nominees have you seen thus far? Well, I don't get to see as many movies now in the theater as I once did.

So my wife and I actually had, Mrs. Elvis and I had a date night a couple of weeks ago. I had one too on Saturday. Yeah, but you can have a date night whenever you want. I do have two kids. Yeah, I know, but you see them when? Half the time. Right. I didn't have the time.

So then the other half of the week. So we went to go see American Hustle. Okay, I've seen it. It was good. I enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of Bradley Cooper, a big fan of Christian Bale, but also a big, big fan of Bradley Cooper Big fan of Christian Bale But also a big big fan of Amy Adams I do enjoy the

And now you're going to tell me you're a big fan of Jennifer Lawrence I'm not I mean she's fine but I'm not a big fan of her I don't necessarily see why She's better than Amy Adams in my opinion I like Amy Adams Amy Adams is someone that I find To be a good actress but also someone that I

Think is attractive Because she looks a bit like Mrs. Elvis She does, she has the red hair Amy Adams is someone that I find to be a good actress, but also someone that I think is attractive. Because she looks a bit like Mrs. Elvis. She does. She has the red hair. I see it now. I see it now. The movie that we just, we rented a movie the other night, and we rented Don John.

I saw it. Yeah, the whatever his name is. Levitt Joseph James Jack. Right, right, right. And one of the women who I think is the most attractive in the world because she looks very, very similar to my wife. My wife obviously is the most attractive woman. But the most attractive celebrity is Julianne Moore. I love her.

And she's in that movie as well. And Scarlett Johansson who – She's not bad to look at either. She's pretty sweet. But Julianne Moore is also in one of the greatest movies of all time of that I guess can I guess of course you're gonna Magnolia it's gonna be uh yeah it's the um the Big Lebowski big yeah and she's also naked in that movie so I was gonna I was actually gonna go with another movie I was gonna go with the um

Boogie Nights. Oh, yeah. Well, she's good in that one, too. But I like Boogie Nights. But Big Lebowski is great, too. Big Lebowski is amazing. Any Coen Brothers movie is good as far as I'm concerned. Fargo was on TV the other day.

It's a great film. Great movie. I recently had lunch with somebody who hated... She's from Texas, and she hated Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou? And I actually felt like ending, it was a business lunch I felt like ending it and walking away like I can't do this anymore I turned it off I can watch it over and over and over again

it's horrible the soundtrack alone, I could watch it over and over again and the story which is fantastic it's all so perfect I can't imagine not liking Oh Brother Where Art Thou I'm going to turn off this podcast guys like the Coen brothers fantastic the act it's all so perfect i can't imagine it's a steamy not liking oh brother see what the guy i'm gonna turn off this podcast guys like the coen brothers they either nail it

or it's it's mostly nail it though it's difficult to get across because they are in there they're just so unique they're so so you would say four christmases is better than uh i watched the whole thing before christmases so yeah i guess so guess so. I couldn't get through Old Brother Worthout, whatever the fuck it's called. You're demented. You need to revisit. It's a mental, mental movie. I don't get it.

I didn't, it was boring. It was so boring. It's not only is it not boring, but it's a visual feast. It's horrible. Like the sepia tones and the music alone demands a repeat viewing. Refresh my memory,

but isn't it all bluegrass music? Yep. Horrible. No. Horrible. You're wrong. Absolutely horrible. This is a new country.

Horrible. This is bluegrass. It's actually really cool. Horrible. You got O Death and Ralph Stanley, and you got Down to the River to Pray and all that. It's amazing. No time. Speaking of which, we should actually do the podcast next week from the river and pray.

Live. That'd be so much fun. Let's do it. next week from the River and Prey. Live. That'd be so much fun. Let's do it. Go remote. Brutal. Okay, let's move on. Have you seen anything else? So I saw American Hustle.

I liked it too. Well acted. But it sucked after I saw another movie nominated for Best Picture. Did you see Wolf of Wall Street? Yeah. What are you talking about? Yeah, it's way better. I really want to see that.

It's way better. Now, what is the deal with people? They're offended by the fact that there's the F word in it so many times? I know, I've seen this too. By the way, I hardly noticed the F word. I hardly noticed it. It's just a word, people. For fuck's sakes, it's not a big deal.

Have these guys never seen a Tarantino movie? Yeah, exactly. I guess you have more of an argument, I would suggest, with the Nword than the F-word. But even with the N-word, context is everything. So in this movie, all the F-bombs that drop, I hardly noticed it. It didn't take me out of the movie or anything. This movie, that's – I mean I'm just saying, yeah, there's F-bombs,

but there's a wealth of sex and drugs and nudity, and there's even a penis, an erect penis. Yeah, Jonah Hill, right? He talked about it yesterday. Do you know that no one, like his fellow actors in that scene, knew that that was going to happen? I did read that on the IMDb trivia.

After I see a movie, I always go to IMDb.com and look at the trivia page. But none of the people back, like the support people of the movie, knew that that was going to happen right um and he apparently he also gets punched in the face in the movie yes that is a real punch because they did it once that and and and marty was marty because i know martin scorsese you can call marty uh marty would you know sort of talk to the actress and said you know that doesn't look really good, blah, blah, blah. And so they decided to, he suggested, let's go for it.

Let's do a real punch. And apparently the guy who's punching Jonah Hill is a real life boxer. And the way Jonah Hill told the story was that he looked at, he didn't know if Marty was being serious or not. So he looked at Leonardo DiCaprio and he just sort of gave him this look and turned away. He's like, I'm going nowhere fucking near this. And they decided to do it for real and uh so he actually got punched in the face and I heard he did that movie for like 60,000 or something that's what he said on our external okay that's the bear the sag minimum whatever the minimum is yeah they sent him the

paperwork and he said and he signed it right away and sent it back because then he didn't want them to change his mind he didn't want them to change their mind on what's amazing that jonah hill is now a two-time oscar nominee yeah and they were throwing out guys like robert redford yeah the guys that had never been nominated and this guy just i just saw him this summer i just don't get humped by satan that's right he was talking about that yesterday on howard cern about how the fact that he likes the fact that his career is in at this point now where he can do both because he didn't want to get segmented into that one you know the you know the devil rapage yeah the view that you get like uh like only super bad type of movies typecast as the right the rapey the rapey but speaking of of uh typecasting a good move by

michael keaton there good thing he didn't get typecast as Batman because that, you know, you see where his fucking career went. Oh, Beetlejuice. That has got to be one of the worst career moves ever. No? No. I don't. At the time, I think it made sense. Like for Michael Keaton?

You know, if your name is Keaton, you're going to make bad decisions. Michael Keaton and Diane Keaton. Horrible decision. Horrible decision. Leaving Cheers. For what? What happened to her? Nothing happened to her.

Hold on. Hold on. Diane Keaton is the girl Manny Hall. Yeah, I know. It worked. It worked. You're messing with me, man. I'm trying to keep to a script here.

We got listeners now got what's her name for by shelly long shelly long that was a bad career but david caruso ended up bouncing back and he had a long csi career 17 000 years later but he made his comeback blue ivy was i had a dream i had i know martin luther king day was on monday so i'm not making fun of that i would never make fun of that but i i have a dream it was a real dream i had a dream that monica and i started watching mash from episode one to the finale okay we watched it in its entirety in one go no not in one go right we just because it's funny because everyone's like my brother was like i just actually i just got so sidetracked we suck you know what know what? This podcast sucks because I introduced the fact that my family got together on the weekend

because I was going to tell the story about Steve. And then I realized, you know, we suck. This podcast is going to be way more than 20 gigs. And at some point, you have to tell me about this cassette of your old London audio. Don't forget that. You were supposed to tell me that last time. So when the family got together for my son's 12th birthday on sunday steve who listens to the podcast told me we too often refer to my brother and

don't say which brother and he would kindly ask that we identify which brother because apparently we are now saying my brother when it's ryan maybe my brother says bargnani is one of the top 10 centers in the league and he's worried about his reputation i can understand that your brother doesn't want to be lumped in with the other bonehead brother or you'll tell a story about my brother's masturbation habits you know like we have to be specific okay but steven's feedback was uh that he preferred the half hour to the hour so i think it all depends on how much time people have for podcasts. Right.

And, and we, you know, Steve and, and Mrs. Elvis both have children, right? Yeah,

they do. So that's the correlation. If you have kids, you want a half an hour. And if you don't have kids, I even think it's the opposite. Okay. I can let,

let's set the record straight then. Which brother is it? That's an idiot about Steve Bagnarini or Andrea Bagnarini. Ryan. Ryan. Steve, Steve was on my side side i believe in that one let's go back to the photographic evidence i believe i believe that was so great monica made

an observation so there's three boone brothers and we're all kind of different but kind of same and she drew a she didn't literally draw it she explained this venn diagram of the traits are shared so she had uh me ryan and steven in the venn diagram and we each there's a commonality between the two of us in this venn venn style right yes and the commonality between steve and i is logic so steve and i share this i know you're going to disagree we share logic which i completely blew out of the water at the beginning of this fucking podcast. Right. And Ryan and I share passion and Steve and Ryan share calm, calm, calm passion.

It's hard word to say, but sensitivity, compassion. That's the word I'm looking for. And it was very, and every, we all discussed this Venn diagram, Monica explained,

and everyone agreed it was spot on. So I'm apparently like a logical, passionate sociopath is what my wife would say you know what bothers me when you're driving down the street and you look at someone's license plate and you see that they have the uh renewal stickers in multiple places on their license plate you're not supposed to do that right it's all supposed to go on the one top right hand corner so i pull into your driveway this morning and i noticed in the top left hand corner you've You're not supposed to do that. Right. It's all supposed to go on the one corner. Top right-hand corner. So I pull into your driveway this morning, and I notice in the top left-hand corner,

you've got renewal license plates. But what's the year? 2001. Yeah, that's because I hadn't read the fine print until 2002. You're an idiot. So in 2002, I started reading the fine print. Can we eliminate now the Venn diagram that suggests that you have any logic whatsoever? No, because to be honest, that's 13 years ago. It's so?

How long have you been driving? For 13 years in a row. How long have you been driving? I've been putting the sticker in the correct place. 13 years in a row. Fuck it up, Mike. So in 2001, I put the sticker in the wrong corner. But it was more than one time because there was a sticker underneath that sticker.

Yeah, yeah. In 1999, I put it in the wrong spot. In 2000, I put it in the right spot. In 2001, I put it in the wrong spot again. And then every year since, 2002 to this year, I have put it in the correct spot. You're a barbarian. You are a barbarian you know what fuck you i'm just gonna put the sticker wherever i want a 90 success rate you're

over it took 15 years to get to 90 percent wait i i at least i learned from my mistakes steve you're you don't want to be involved in a venn diagram with any of your brothers. No offense, Ryan. Offense meant for you, Mike. But yeah, Steve, you want to be on an island in this particular argument. Do you remember in the summer when I attended your birthday party in North Oshawa? Can I call it North Oshawa? It is pretty north. Yeah. So I told this story to Rosie on an episode, a previous episode, and now I finally have you here.

So as I recall, I'm going to tell you how I recall this story, and then you tell me what's right and wrong about this. Okay? Okay. I remember your neighbors came over. Yes. A man and a woman of Asian descent. I'm just describing them. It doesn't matter.

And they come over to celebrate your party. And I remember the gentleman grabs a cold beer. Nope. Nope. Cooler. A cooler. Okay. There you go. So the gentleman grabs a cold beer you had no no cooler a cooler okay there you go so the gentleman grabs a cooler and then i remember him saying i have to go and i remember him he he didn't put down the cooler and go this was unopened cooler that's a key detail to me that's the detail an unopened cooler he did not put it down and then thank you and then leave because he had to leave.

He took the cooler with him home. So he basically came. It's like a grab bag, like a goodie bag at a birthday party. He came over for a very brief period, grabbed a cooler, and then went home. Is this how you remember it? Absolutely how I remembered it. It was the strangest thing ever. Now, granted, they are our immediate neighbors to one side.

English is their second language. He doesn't necessarily have a great command. His wife has an even lesser command of the English language. They are also very quiet, probably shy individuals because of that fact. I don't know if it's – That could be a factor. But it was – I think what happened is that they came to the party saw that there was a bunch of people there kind of got nervous and freaked out thought that the right move was to say hey let's grab a drink realized

very quickly that they didn't want to be there and uh and and just panic and left so in his panic he forgot to put down the cooler right well because he probably didn't know what to do he probably thought if i'm trying to think like him and be in his head he he forgot to put down the cooler. Right, because he probably didn't know what to do. He probably thought, if I'm trying to think like him and be in his head, he probably thought it would look weird to walk back over to the cooler and put the cooler back in. Because who does that, right, once you've already got it in your hand, without realizing that it actually is just as weird to walk out of a party with an unopened beverage. What he should have done was opened it, and maybe he didn't know how to open it because he didn't know who had the opener or he was too shy to ask for it. So it's a cultural divide. But he should have opened it, had a sip, and then left. If he had opened it and had a sip at the party, I'm okay with him taking the rest home.

Even now it's kind of weird. It's less weird, though, because it's now his. Once he opens it and has a sip, it's now his once he opens it has a sip it's now his no one else can drink for all we know it could still very well be in his fridge yeah yeah i know yeah it could be in his fridge right if you visit him in the summer he might offer it to you and forget have you ever re-gifted to somebody like i've re-gifted all the time but i re-gift content on this podcast have you ever accidentally re-gift content on this podcast every week. Have you ever accidentally re-gifted to somebody who originally gifted it to you? Like the old school. No, I've never done that.

Where he gets the bread maker back. Oh, yeah. No, never done that. But you're right. It was a very strange sort of thing. And I don't know. I have a dusty note from six months ago to ask Elvis about that. So you've never have you uh interacted

with him since other than just oh yeah he's my direct neighbor so yeah we've we've spoken and i've never brought it up well because you've chalked it up to a cultural i've chalked it up to being a cultural slash not knowing the norms of our society i'm not understanding the cultural norms shy and uncomfortable you know like who hasn't panicked like that and grabbed their cooler and went home? How long do you think he was at your party for? Five minutes. Five minutes tops. Probably not even.

I saw him arrive and leave. And I'm telling you, it was like during the same Led Zeppelin song. It was so amazing. I think Black Dog was on when he got there and Black Dog was on when he left. It was so amazing. It was just like it it was you could just see after you thought about it you could just imagine the panic in his head where it's like holy shit i gotta get the fuck out of here so you're a howard stern fan who listens

to pretty much um i guess howard stern is your only morning show pretty yeah oh yeah yeah yeah without a doubt i'm like that when I have those cars that have this magic station. It's always exciting. So I was going to ask you, I'm pretty much asking myself this because you won't have a clue, but we have a new morning show.

It's not officially permanent, but it is the morning show that's following Dean Blundell on 102.1 and it belongs to Fearless Fred. Your friend and mentor. I got him. Did we talk about that yet? How all the commenters who got sick and tired of me mentioning that Fearless Fred hates me every time I write about him.

We didn't talk about that. But I did notice it on your blog. But hardcore. And these are people that aren't regulars. These aren't the idiots like Corey or whatever that are always around. These are like people who drop in for the CFNY news and they're new and they're like, every time you write about Fearless Fred, no wonder he hates you. You keep bringing up that clip.

But if someone who was, quote unquote, a celebrity or popular or known. Like me. Referenced me in any way, especially in a negative way when he shouldn't have referenced you in a negative way. I would fucking play that all the time. is my thought it's fucking amazing because i wrote in the comments that um i try to show restraint and not post it but i can't do it i don't know how to write about fearless fred without sharing the audio of him going off hating me fearless fred to you now is the guy who hates you yeah and you've given him no reason because if you listen to what you said

he shouldn't hate you for that. So I don't know how to have Fearless Fred be the primary subject matter of my entry and not reference that. Like how could I not? I don't know how not to. You know, I'm with you on this one. Okay, good. Which is one in a million. It's not like one or two comments.

Multiple comments from people saying enough is enough. Like stop. People are saying it isn't about you. I wanted to reply to the guy who wrote this isn't about you. It is actually about me. This is Toronto Mike. I'm not a journalist. I'm having fun writing about shit I care about.

And it's completely about me. But you should release your stats, Mike. I know. You should release your stats. Is that Corey again? That's Corey. Yesterday I said the mayor frequently drinks and drive. And then last night I'm in bed watching the Leaf game because it went to like after 11 o'clock.

It was in Colorado. Great game, by the way. Yes. Oh, by the way, remind me. My mom messages me during this saying, why did they pull the goal? She doesn't understand the pulling the goalie thing when you're down by two goals. Are we talking about the game or masturbation here? We're talking about the game. Come on. we can't talk about masturbation my mom come on uh anyway side thing is uh trying to explain my mom pulling a goalie when you're down by two goals

uh it's completely foreign to her and it doesn't compute my brother ryan inherited that lack of logic from her. So, Corey says, oh, Toronto Mike says that Rob Ford definitely was drinking and driving yesterday because he was drunk at some Steak Queen in Rexdale. Yeah, man. And they asked him, like, who drove home? And he wouldn't answer the question or whatever. Yeah, man. It's a fair question because we know he does drink and drive. And then we were like, did you drink and drive on Monday or whatever?

Whatever day it was. And Corey claims I'm saying the mayor definitely drank and drove. How do I know the mayor? I don't know who drove home. I don't pretend to know stuff I don't know. I never will write the mayor drove home drunk when I have no idea who drove him home. I don't know. I would never write that.

And Corey puts these words. He constantly does this. Corey, fuck you. Mayor Ford wouldn't be the only person on Toronto Council that drove home drunk. That day? Well, I don't know about that day. But he certainly is not the – there are other people on that council that have been charged and convicted of drunk driving. This is the two wrongs don't make a right

i'm not i'm not defending him in any way rob ford should not drive drunk even if everyone in council drives drunk rob ford should not be driving drunk a mayor of a of any city human should have a full-time driver which would completely eliminate this problem of driving drunk but what it does is his his problem with alcohol obviously no of course not um but for both people on both sides of the fence here on this on the argument of whether or not rob ford should be in office or not be in office i'm just pointing out the fact that uh he is not the he is he hasn't in fact been convicted of drunk driving while he's been in office whereas other people have on council so it's again uh you know shouldn't be a big surprise to us that a politician is doing

something that normal people would otherwise this is why by the way we're not going to even talk about rob ford because i noticed your stance on the rob ford thing is all politicians are liars and crooks so who cares to varying degrees but yes yeah and i i think the fundamental flaw in that is essentially you've given up like you've given up hope that we can we can expect better from our elected politicians partially but also i'm living in reality to know that uh you have to if you were to criticize every single politician for everything that they did wrong you'd never have and i would argue that has nothing to do with what's become to rob ford that this is a whole different league this isn't the same sport anymore we're in a whole different league this isn't picking at every little thing

a politician does i would suggest that there's three cities in quebec that would tell you that they're in a whole different league this is not and again these wrongs aren't making right this sounds like the argument i get from idiots in four nation who every time you oh you know this is what the mayor just did blah blah blah blah blah well the the mcginty cost us a billion dollars that's the answer and it to me irrelevant yeah i would suggest that it's irrelevant again because uh why are you just focusing on mcginty i could show you a million different let's move on because uh it turns out i can't i can't we can't talk about politics so long as you've adopted this. All politicians are crooks and liars.

Hey, do you want me to go down the list? No, because it's irrelevant. It's irrelevant. It's irrelevant. I would suggest you're right. And I would say. Absolutely. I will tell you, and just before I move on, that Toronto, and I know you're in North Oshawa.

That's not even like South Oshawa. That's North Oshawa. In North Oshawa, you can look from North Oshawa and say, ah, lots of places have it worse. And I would say from the city, the 416, as a homeowner in Toronto, I can tell you that we deserve better. And I'm hoping in October that we make a wiser choice. We could do a whole podcast about the City Hall in Oshawa and how Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. But no one would listen. about the City Hall in Oshawa and how Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

guaranteed rights that are given to us by the Charter have been violated significantly by the council there, which I think is a lot worse. So did you know Fearless Fred hates me? So Fearless Fred, though. Can we have him on the podcast and just tell him that he hates me? I don't think he would do it. I've never even heard him on the air once ever.

I've heard him a bit, and he's got kind of like a slacker vibe. Like, you know, hey, what if Batman took on Spider-Man? I think it'd be a fair fight. Good thing that the Edge is going in a different direction, Mr. Program Director. Wow. By the way, who is the Program Director at the Edge? It's not Ross Winters because he was fired. Who's the guy that announced that?

Oh, he's like Dave Farrow. He's some GM. He's a higher-upper guy. So maybe there's some guy in there, right? Maybe it'll be me. Why don't you find out, Mike, since you know everything about him? Maybe Alan Cross can tell me.

Release your numbers, Mike. Release your numbers. We demand to know. I was going to ask you. You haven't heard from this friend, so I will just tell you. I have not heard him in the mornings, and I would like to hear from somebody who has

and tell me if he's any good. I don't know how that slacker kind of thing. And I had no problem with his slacker thing. I'm an old man. It's not meant for like 40-year-old guys like me. But it seemed like he was doing the Barry Taylor act. And it just felt like they had just fired Barry Taylor. Why not let him do it?

We probably won't know if he's good or not because there's going to be 54 minutes of commercials and shitty music. So it sucks to be them. But a lot of that music will be decent. Sh like i like i always on the 88.1 people are starting to hate it because it's too repetitive and i oh surprise surprise everybody i tune in commercials and a playlist oh my god so when i bike i listen to 88.1 sometimes and i sometimes in the shower this is 88.1 i uh i to tell you, I always like what I hear. Some people are just complete morons. You can like whatever you want,

but you think that a radio station doesn't have to pay the fucking bills? And they don't have to play to the lowest common denominator to get the most amount of listeners? How is the radio station going to compete with your personal MP3 playlist?

How is it going to customize itself for you that way? People are mental. Speaking of idiots, do you know in Iceland, p3 playlist like how is it going to customize itself for you that way people are like mental speaking of idiots do you know in iceland when i went into a clothing store they were selling canada goose jackets for the equivalent of one thousand dollars canadian you could buy them here for that much is i see i own a very nice jacket it's about eddie bauer winter jacket i'm warm on days these polar vortex days how's the polar vortex treating you fucking retarded what is like i know we're not supposed to say that amanda had never heard the term before

fucking retarded no polar vortex yeah i did hear that that's crazy right okay i mean she doesn't listen to the news or watch yeah we're both of us are under the age of 40 so we're yeah we're relatively young individuals compared to the age of to world war one larry the earth yeah i've never once heard of the polar vortex and we live in a polar vortex for a lot of for for a lot of part of the year meteorologists just hadn't named it yet it's just fucking cold that's what it is what it should say on the screen when you go when you switch on your fucking news that you watch is stupid national or whatever it is that you watch you turn on the news i do watch the lead story the weather all right everybody we're canadian so we're going to talk

about weather and the weather today is it's fucking cold but just like you said oh shocking that 88.1 has like a playlist and ads and needs to make money these these news outlets need you listening for the weather and if they call it the polar vortex i promise you it's more enticing and sexy than saying it's cold today. Well, what's worse or what's better? When they rename weather patterns Polar Vortex, or they name their weather tracking system the Storm Center, or Doppelganger 3000, whatever it is that they were doing.

No, I'd rather you call it at least polar vortex that might i we haven't used it maybe now we have a name for this and we can use it i'm okay with like science at meteorology advancing like our terminology with regards to weather it's stupid when they say polar vortex is not a scientific name well where'd the name come from someone made it up because he said it's really but a. But a meteorologist, right? Yeah, but it's not a scientific name. But isn't that science? I'm going to Google this as soon as we're done. Crazy science is what it is.

I'm going to Google this. So Canada Goose, I want to hear your thoughts on these Canada Goose jackets that all the kids are wearing. And then I'm going to tell a little story about Hulkamania. Nope. Is that your way to get people to keep listening? Yeah, Humble says i don't do enough setup of future bits and stuff so i'm trying he listens he listened to yesterday's i have no idea i have no idea why he listened to yesterday that's so weird straight um if you

listen to this howard um good move on telling your girlfriend that her boobies were perfect just the way that they are that was good move um a canada goose bothers me it really does bother me for one apparently they use real fur which which you know i think is dumb uh but two why would you ever ever ever pay a thousand dollars or even five hundred dollars for a winter jacket it doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever it's a fashion statement it has nothing to do with it being cold outside because last winter it wasn't nearly as cold. The winter before that wasn't anywhere near as cold. And people were wearing them like in April because it's a fashion statement.

It's that logo. It's not. Yes. It is not a warmer jacket than any other jacket out there. You can get an equally as warm if not warmer jacket. Like my Eddie Bauer jacket. Very warm. You're wearing that jacket because

you want to be noticed and for that you're a douchebag you're even more of a douchebag because you overpaid for that piece of shit and it bothers me i really do not you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna post an entry later today uh asking which toronto my commenters own a canada goose jacket do you think do you think any of them have a Canada goose jacket? For one, no, because I don't think that any of your commenters actually have a job. For one. Corey has a job. Doing what?

What could he possibly do? I'm protecting his identity by telling you when the recording stops. Right. Yeah, Canada goose. If you're wearing a canada goose jacket right now you need to really rethink things in your life um because i can guarantee you that you're on a path to just doom and destruction it's like listening to metal as your facebook i love metal norwegian death metal that's fine i i don't ever see the documentary on where all

the different uh that's a Canadian guy who put that together. That's amazing. It's a great documentary. Love metal. I don't necessarily get death metal so much. No, but the Scandinavians do. They love it. Because they have the sunlight. That's where it comes from.

One of the guys in that documentary was actually put in jail for burning down churches and stuff. No, they're hardcore. They're the real deal. It's crazy. Some guy... I don't know the death metal scene very well, but somebody commits suicide, a death metal guy. Yes.

And his guitarist took a picture of the dead body, and that was the cover art for their, some release they put out. Crazy. Like, this is hardcore shit. Yeah, they're hardcore. Yeah, they're the real deal, the Norwegian death meddlers. But the whole Scandinavian, I deal with a lot of Scandinavians in my job. It's a different set, man.

Death metal, better than Canada Goose. Well. Great Dane dog shit on your living room floor on New Year's Eve, better than Canada Goose. Would you be okay with Canada Goose if they priced those jackets like $299? Like Sears did? Yeah, it was Sears. It was Sears? They're suing them now?

Is it just that they did ridiculous prices? I would be fine with them because they probably wouldn't be a fashion statement at that price. That's correct. It just bothers me that winter jackets are a fashion statement. Terry O'Reilly on his Age of Under the Influence podcast, which I listen to, just talked

about price as a marketing mechanism. You sell it for $4, just double the price, same price same shit double the price and watch it fly off those season one or two and mad men when they he was you know they were working with that department store and they you know convinced the department store that they needed to change and upscale and love mad men come on i love mad men i think i borrowed season one from you. Did I? Yes, you did. Yeah, you did. It started me on my Mad Men adventure. Hulkamania. Okay, Hulkamania. Okay, so in the mid-80s, I was a big WWF fan.

Okay, I haven't actually listened. Did I start this thought process with my posting? Yeah, so that's right. So you posted something about Ric Flair. Woo! Right, and I realized I missed Ric Flair completely, even though we're the same age. He wasn't in the WWF when I followed the WWF.

Correct. He was in some rival. Right. And I never, I was a WWF guy. It was very difficult to watch that here in Canada. That explains it possibly. So I was into like Junkyard Dog and Superfly Snooker and Hulk Hogan and these cats. So I was a huge, and I knew it was fake as a young man but i i think

you know it's fake but you're still so into it like it's a sporting event so my friend and i chris lang and i got tickets to hulkamania in 1987 at the exhibition stadium which is now gone so they could build your beautiful bemo field we're going to talk about the x again fuck i thought we had to wait till august It might be a six part series. So I'm Chris and I are in the, those benches, those shitty benches they had in the grant and in the exhibition stadium watching the big main event.

There were a lot of great events that day. I remember it vividly, but the main event was Hulk Hogan versus Paul Orndorff. Wow. Mr. Wonderful. Who had turned bad at this point. So they like to turn guys bad every once in a while.

Heel, as they say. That's what Jeff Merrick would say, heel. Or Jason Agnew, who was the original commissioner of my annual hockey pool that you usually bail on on draft day. That's my move now. I confirm and then bail. Stop doing it. Give me your 20 bucks up front for now.

So we're at Hulkamania. Hulk Hogan is the champion. Paul Orndorff is giving him a run. Wow, it's a close match. And Paul Orndorff is going to become champion. And we were huge. I don't even remember why, but we just rooted against Hulk Hogan. Like we were huge Paul Orndorff fans.

You were those guys? Yeah. I guess I always rooted for the bad guy, underdog or whatever. I think it was underdog thing. But we were huge paul ornder fans you were those guys yeah i guess i always voted for the bad guy underdog or whatever i think it was underdog thing but we were both rooting for orndorff and i couldn't believe it and i remember because when you watch it on tv you've got like bobby the brain heenan and jesse ventura and gorilla monsoon and they're telling you everything okay but when you watch it live we don't hear these guys we're just seeing it it's wrestling really needs those guys. Okay. So the referee,

I remember now, uh, Paul Arndorf is pinning Hogan and we're, Oh my God. And the referee goes down one, two, and watching it live. It looks like the referee puts down his hand for three. At this moment,

we erupt like Paul Arndorf under just one and we're the whole section by the way is going crazy there's a new champion unbeknownst to us one inch one inch off the the mat on the third count the ref stops like doesn't actually hit the hit the mat for the third uh you know you get three what's that called the pin count yeah pin count that's what it's called so he goes basically two and two and nine tenths of a pin count and it wasn't a third he stopped an inch off the ground i guess uh hogan uh maybe lifted his shoulder or something like that i don't know but live you can't tell this shit you can't tell live so we basically it was like we reacted to our team winning the championship and everything, only to find out the match had continued.

And there was no explanation. You don't actually get, like, the commenter telling you, it was only two and a half! Hogan got out of it! And all this, like, you know, and seeing the close-up of the TV cameras. So we, eventually, Hogan wins this match, of course, because fucking, it's scripted. Of course Hogan's going to win this stupid match. But Chris and I celebrated Hulkamania 1987 with the 70,000 people, by the way,

at Exhibition Stadium, thinking Paul Orndorff was the new heavyweight champion of the world. What a genius move for them to do a two and nine tenths count. On TV, it always looks so... Why don't they do that more often that's so crazy that the last moment oh my the best would be i always remember the best would be the best move in that time would be it would be two and nine tenths of a count and then his hand or like the guy looks dead first of all he looks unconscious and dead but somehow he gets his leg on the turnbuck on

the rope or his hand will reach up and hold the rope because once your hand or leg leg on the rope, or his hand will reach up and hold the rope. Because once your hand or leg is on the rope, they have to stop the pin count. I feel like I'm having a conversation right now with a six-year-old who's just so upset. How could he possibly get his leg up on the rope? He's practically dead. And that's my story of seeing 1987's Hulkamania live. We used to be really big into wrestling, both as kids and then into university.

It was huge in university when we were in school. I outgrew it well before then. And we used to go watch the pay-per-views in bars and stuff like that. So here's sort of the lowdown on Ric Flair versus Hulk Hogan. Okay. lowdown on rick flair versus hulk hogan okay rick flair was in the nwa then the wcw and then has also been in the wwf as well or wwe i guess as well as some other ones he is the 21 time world heavyweight champion when you add up all of his belts and uh has won the heavyweight championship more than any other wrestler in the entire world and is viewed as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

You're right. As Canadians, we didn't get to see him very much unless you were a super nerd. When he came to the WWE, when was this? Like late nineties? Would have been late nine, mid to late.

That would have been, um, early nineties. I think he came and then went back again. So a couple of times in the 90s but then certainly in the 2000s because the last wwf anything i followed was the the um what was the big thing wrestlemania the wrestlemania at pontiac silverdome oh wow when was that record yeah that would have been in like long time ago that was that's the that was like it that was

like my three or something after that was like 1990 i think 1990 was when it was in toronto at the sky well whenever it was at pontiac silverdome that's like the last big thing i remember it's got to be after hulk so it probably was the second time then maybe 88 or something could be was it before skydome yeah okay and so it would have been in the 80s i think so uh yeah that's it that was that one then i said goodbye because it was fake and bored me then. I was done. But it's entertainment, right? I mean, they don't look at themselves as real.

They don't try and... Come on. I had Guns N' Roses to listen to, okay? That's fine. I had to entertain myself in other ways. It's an interesting cultural aspect, I think, of our youth. Wrestling, that is. Do either of your two daughters have uh imaginary friends um not like i did but my oldest has a very vivid imagination where she can play

by herself and has conversations with oh that's the the the dolls and the the whoever it is that she happens to be you know imagining in her head is is whatever whoever it is that she happens to be, you know, imagining in her head is whatever the scenario is that she's trying to act out. Neither of my children had or have imaginary friends either. And you mentioned you had imaginary friends. I did. Ready for this? Okay, so I had imaginary friends.

Oh, good. There's a big surprise. I had, I want to hear about yours so i and i don't my mom just retold the story but um it's i i actually i had three imaginary friends and their names were honor ger and lion and i was i was the first born i don't know if there was just no one else around or whatever and i invented these guys and i was really young and i had these three friends and like they were like my mom had to like reference them and stuff like they were real to me apparently tell me about your imaginary friends I don't remember anything okay I am you don't have names then like I do I have a

really poor memory I do remember having an imaginary friend I don't remember what his name was I don't even know if he had a name but I do remember this idea of having an imaginary friend and interacting with this particular thing. But I, I don't know. It's, it's whatever. It's fine.

You're a weirdo for having three. I think one is sort of anything over one, you're a mental case. And the name's always like, I always like honor. It was honor. Like what kind of name is honor? It's like a Demi Moore,

Bruce Willis child. Oh, rumor. Yeah, Rumor. Rumor and whatever. I don't even remember the other. So Honor, and then Gurr. I think as a kid, I think I meant girl. I think, but it was Gurr.

Or maybe like Gurr, like a lion. Or like a lion, Gurr, maybe. So it was Honor, Gurr, and Lion. And I actually, as an adult, I often think maybe I should resurrect these characters as comic characters and write stories around them. Yeah, you do that. You do that. That's on my list of things to them. Yeah, you do that. You do that. That's on my list.

Do that because this podcast thing is working out really well. The comic book thing can only be better. I can get sponsors for the comic book thing. Yeah, sure you could. Yeah, let me see that. Because the comic book industry is just waiting to peak again. Once I have 69 good episodes under my belt, I think I might open this up to sponsors. Once I have 69 good episodes under my belt, I think I might open this up to sponsors.

And before Corey fucking jumps on me, the comic book industry, I understand, is having its best time ever, but not necessarily from the actual comic book sales themselves. I understand the movies. But you do realize if you had said in this podcast that the comic books were doing very well, he would write the comment explaining how you're wrong. Actually, this is actually a very bad time. You'll take either side. It's yeah absolutely and that's why it's annoying and that's why i'm picking on him because he just even and he says himself he's he thinks ford should step down but he and he'll say devil advocate whatever but he's got to assume a position against you on every single comment you write on your own fucking blog correct like how and even argi will will agree with you once it's argi it's argi and he will he's at least he's consistent in his douchebaggery he's been very

consistent in his pretty consistency you bring up muslims are bad muslims uh he's don't uh gays are bad uh too many movies about aids I don't get that one. By the way. Is he still bitter about Philadelphia? Other than Philadelphia, has there been a lot of movies about AIDS? I don't remember. Team America had an AIDS.

Everyone has AIDS. That was great. That's the fucking greatest thing ever. That sex scene is the best sex scene in film. The unrated version though. Yeah, that's the only version i've seen yeah i can't ever remember once even thinking that it would be funny to say that there's too many movies about it it would be okay if like if every second movie was there's too many movies about the end of the world there's not too many

movies about aids because other than philadelphia i can't remember like a big aids that was like 94 or 95 or 93 maybe 93 like the blue jays were world series I can't remember like a big AIDS. That was like 94 or 95. That was a long time ago. 93 maybe. 93. The Blue Jays were World Series champions last time we had

a big AIDS movie. Maybe it's time for another big AIDS movie. Who knows? By the way, that's on my list. I want to see that one. Philadelphia?

Yeah. I love Philadelphia. Unfortunately, we don't live in this courtroom. I want to see that AIDS movie with Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Oh, is that an AIDS movie?

It's an AIDS movie, yeah. Okay, well, there we go. And by the way, McConaughey has a great cameo in Wolf of Wall Street. You've got to see it. All right. He's nominated for an Oscar as well. That's what I love about high school girls. I keep getting older and they stay the same.

Or something like that. Is his cameo with or without a shirt on? I'm going to take off my shirt to do it justice. And that brings us to the end of our 64th show. You can follow me on Twitter at Toronto Mike and Elvis at Oshawa Elvis. See you all next week.
