And it's a Friday during the pandemic. So that can only mean one thing. Stu Stone and Cam Gordon. Yeah. Hello. Welcome. How are we? How's everybody doing?

Stu, you first, because I want to hear the new microphone. This is exciting to me. Let me hear it. Check, check. One, two, three, four. Get your woman on the floor. Everybody get up, get down.

Is it working? Yes. Now tell the people, are you comfortable sharing what you purchased? Can we hear the details? At this point, I am not comfortable speaking about it. But when I do feel comfortable, I will open up about my recent acquisition of a better microphone system. So this is good news for the Toronto Mike fans and all of the people that are going out wearing no masks

and fraternizing and getting into other people's bubbles. That is also good news for Toronto Mike fans because that will only continue the Toronto Mike Pandemic Friday series and extend us even longer. So, you know, if you want these shows to continue, just keep going out. No masks, no social distance. Coronavirus is a hoax. All of those folks out there that believe all of that are only helping us to have a longer series.

I was I biked by Southside Johnny's. That's a long branch institution. And that's on Lakeshore. That's a long branch institution. And that's on Lakeshore. And the patio was crammed. And the average, like the medium age of the person crammed on that patio looked to me to be about 60 years old. Like it just seemed like a bad idea. Exactly.

The Toronto Mike fans. So that's what I was saying. So continue, Toronto Mike fans, to go out there and make sure that the spread is still going on. You guys are doing your part. Good job. Before I hear the sweet tones of Cam Gordon, tell us your screen name today, Stu. Well, today I actually am paying tribute to a Canadian, dare I say, worldwide curling legend, a gentleman by the name of Mike Gragatsky.

He is a, you know, in my Scott Tournament of Hearts pool, I have him. So I'm hoping that, you know, he hurries and hurries hard. Mike Rogotsky is a great FOTM. So, Mike, you should be very honored. And a hell of a curler if you've ever read his bio. I've heard that. That's tremendous. Now, Cam Gordon, how the hell are you doing?

I'm good. Sorry, I was doing some typing on my keyboard. I was tickling the ivories, as it were. You have ivory keyboard. Yeah, I'm good. Sorry. I was doing some typing on my, my keyboard. I was tickling the ivories as it were. You have ivory. Yeah, I'm good. I was actually, I was out on a bike last night,

much like you, Mike, except I use the Toronto bike share. I was in the annex cause I wanted to see, yeah, the patio scene. I was curious, um,

all the fine establishments out there, poppers pub and, uh and uh god i'm trying to think what else is there now um of course cam you were scouting for the patio lanterns patio lanterns yeah well done stew yes will it be a time to kiss beneath them i was trying to get to the bottom of that uh victory cafe yeah like the patios were jammed in the bottom of that uh victory cafe yeah like the patios were jammed in the annex um i actually tweeted a photo for the first time ever uh and technically it didn't belong to lee's palace but there was actually two tall tables and bar stools set up in front of lee's palace wow um which is more for the roadie place that's a road to place that's now um squished in the front of lee's

palace but uh as opposed to roadies who are usually there uh setting up for the bands that used to play at lee's that's right so i tweeted a photo i said lee's patio and i was i was a bit disappointed by the engagement i only got two hearts one which was one of your listeners mike i forgot who james or someone oh james edgar yeah i think so. Don't you have the technical capability to pad the stats? I do not. They do not.

That never happens. Well, he does, but he doesn't use it. It's a break glass. Oh, you used it for my rubber ducky thing, probably, because that blew up. Yeah, but by the way, Mike, we should talk after. I should get you your, as I've done, I feel like I've done this the last two years, your most tweeted and most liked moments on Twitter of the first half of the year.

I'm nervous. We're in Canada each year. It's become a bit of a tradition from what I recall. Yeah, well, definitely. I can tell you the most popular tweet that I ever sent, uh, was, uh, favorite.

I Twitter used to like post on the front page, like back in the old days, I probably pre-cam, but they would have like, you know, the top tweets would be on the front page. That's right. Yeah.

Uh, so I got on that front page once because, uh, basically, I don't know if you guys are sports fans, but, uh, there's a guy called brett farve he was also an actor in the film something about mary spoiler um but uh he

he was playing uh in what would be probably one of his last playoff games and he all he needed to do was like kneel down and kick a field goal to go on into the super bowl i think it was and instead he threw a pass and it was intercepted. That's right. With the Vikings, right. So a few weeks later, the Green Bay Packers ended up winning the Super Bowl, his former team. And I said, right now, Brett Favre probably just threw his remote at the TV, dot, dot, dot, and it got intercepted.

And it got top page of Twitter. So it was like a feature tweet. Yes. It was like a top tweet. Okay, Cam, I need the stats later. I need to know how my rubber ducky did versus the stewstone Brett Favreau. Yeah, it's going to be hard to beat the Trojan horse.

By the way, could we... I've noticed I really miss sports chat. Can we have a really quick sports chat about a sports topic? I'm curious to hear what you guys think. Yesterday, it was named that some new, or maybe it was two days ago, some new inductees to

the Hockey Hall of Fame, including Kevin Lowe and Doug Wilson. Two names that we recall from our many Leaf games, especially Doug Wilson was in the Old Norris Conference. I found the timing of both of these

inductees kind of curious these guys haven't played for a long time have been more famous for many years as executives what do you guys think? Doug Wilson, Kevin Lowe were they deserving to get in the Hall of Fame? Stu doesn't seem to think so he seemed kind of annoyed

I'm coming off and I understand that when we do these Pandemic Friday recordings I'm literally rushing from the TMDS studio to the TMDS studio. It's very hard to do. It usually means I go to the bathroom and come back. But I just finished an hour of Hebsey on Sports

with Mark Hebsey. So I'm doing the sports talk always just before we start off. So I will just let you know that in my opinion, there was only one slam dunk for the Hockey Hall of Fame this year, and that man's name is Jerome McGinley, and he got in first ballot. But beyond that, you could have made some arguments on a few guys,

but I never once, for the life of me, never thought for a moment those two guys, Doug and Kevin, were Hall of Famers. Like never once did I see them play and think, oh, future Hall of Famers. Go ahead, Stu. The NHL Hall of Fame has always had a criteria to get in that if you've heard of the player, they qualify. So the fact that you've heard of both of those players, they're both eligible, and they usually get in. Anybody whose rookie card was worth more than $5 at any time is probably a Hall of Famer.

That being said, I think that Alexander McGilney, despite what my good friend Hebsey thinks, he should have got in. Because if you compare him to the other players, Alexander McGilney actually had a run where he was a top-tier superstar in the league. And as consistent as Kevin Lowe was, I don't remember his name ever in the conversation. Like kids weren't clamoring to get Kevin Lowe jerseys. Dare I say Doug Wilson jerseys. So, you know, McGilney had a really solid career

and he had his back, you know, coming over from Russia with Bure and Fedorov. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. And as a Pat LaFontaine fan, I think that McGilney belongs in right there next to his old lineman. But that was the time when, like, it was, no, I won't say it was easy,

but, I mean, guys were scoring 70-plus goals. Like, it was an era for prolific goals. Well, steroid. Steroid era, we'll call it. Is that, I don't, I didn't hear that. I don't know if that's true. That's not true. I don't know if that's true, but imagine it was.

Just imagine it was. Allegedly, I've never heard that. But I't know if that's true. That's not true. I don't know if that's true, but imagine it was. Just imagine it was. Allegedly. I've never heard that. But all I'm saying is. Peter Bondra was juicing. Is Al Secord in the Hall of Fame? I feel like if Doug Wilson's in there, shouldn't Al. I feel like these guys are just good guys.

I feel like all of these NHLers, even the fringe players that you speak of, are all in their respective community Hall of Fames. Al Secor is probably in the Timmins Hockey Hall of Fame or wherever he's from. These guys are probably – even the worst hockey player is the best hockey player from their hometown. Yeah, I was going to say it seems like similar to baseball where Harold Baines gets brought up as sort of the litmus test over almost the over-under. I don't know when this happened. This was maybe five years ago, but it seems like Guy Carboneau is that guy for hockey. Face-off specialist. Well, I've always found it fascinating. These guys

who have been retired for many, many years. Kevin Lowe last played in 1998 22 years later what happened where he's now in the hall to me and i i to be honest i should know this is it was it like more like a veterans committee or maybe some executive maybe some executive maybe some executive work for the yeah Yeah, which is fair. I mean, he managed to get... If he is... I don't know if he is,

but if he is in charge of the Oilers or anything, he managed to get them first round picks by having them finish last every year for like six years. So I don't know. We all agree the bar is too low for the Hockey Hall of Fame. Well, it goes to show you that the C on your sweater in hockey is a lot more meaningful and this is not i'm not trying to be cute here the c on your jersey is a lot more meaningful in hockey

it seems than any other sport because kevin lowe was a captain of the edmonton oilers at one point uh d carbineau was a captain of the montreal canadians so, you know, like Rod Langway is on his way in, or is he already in? I don't know. I think he's already in, though. The one guy I wonder about, because this guy was always on Team Canada in the Olympics, too, is a big, big favorite of mine, Stu, you may recall from back in high school, Adam

Foote. Remember the fine defensive defenseman for the Nordiques and later the Avalanche? Spelled with a silent E at the end. That's right. Fouté. Adam Fouté. That's what I like to call him. Are we going to see Adam Fouté in the Hall of Fame

at some point? I wouldn't be shocked. You know, Canada Cup, Stanley Cup, Stanley Cup rings. Do they get rings? He's hoisted the cup a few few times let me know when thomas caberle is finally elected yeah voted in so uh yeah fair question now i have a mind-blowing uh piece of audio to play for you guys so last week both cam and i wanted to play i get cam

ended up playing it we wanted to play jane child's Don't Want to Fall in Love. And by the way, last week was One Hit Wonders, and there was a lot of interesting feedback that came out of it. People in the know sending me notes to explain why Stu is dead wrong about Dead or Alive. All the hits they apparently had.

Yeah, but not that we knew of. Okay, well, obviously. So, Jane so Jane Child in fact I had notes from people saying oh Jane Child had a second hit which Cam you can tell us about that in a moment but I was singing all week don't wanna fall in love like I was doing that

and my almost 16 year old daughter would sing it back to me and we were going back and forth like this for days like was she going like yes and then she would do don't want to fall and she was doing the exact same thing and i and then at some point i said to her wow i didn't think you'd know that jane child song and then she said what jane child song i'm singing kyle and then i said whoa whoa whoa like I went like this whoa whoa whoa what you talking about

there Kyle that's a Jane Child song and I explained the history of the song we just played it on One Hit Wonders and then she whipped out her iPhone and she played a song for me and I'm gonna play this song for you all right now right now. Cause I can make you right before a week we can spend a weekend in Japan If anyone's love with my hockey chin tell them they'll get fucking Jackie Chan

Honestly, I'm better as your boy. I'll be kind of shitty as your man. Let's go back to only being friends. Sorry girl I hope you understand this Nope That's right So good So good. So good. Okay. So she plays this for me.

You guys could hear that, right? We never did test that audio. Could you hear that? Yeah. Okay. Loud and clear. Okay. I could, yeah.

Okay. I could turn it down by the way. Let me know because, uh, so I play that. Back to open, turn it down. The, uh, I'll turn it down. It blew my mind. It's a current popular song. Apparently, it's big on TikTok, which is where all the teens are hanging out.

And it sounds to me like that's Jane Child's audio being kind of cut up in the mix there. Are anyone on this Zoom call familiar with Kyle's Don't Want to Fall in Love? You know, I always, I got to give Kyle credit for, you know, overcoming having the rap name Kyle. You know, it just seems like they could have done better, but he has definitely, you know, Kyle, here he is being played on toronto mike and i know that i've seen that guy get nominated for like awards at award shows over the last few years or you know he's sort of a popular probably the most popular kyle in the history of music uh at this point but uh yeah i mean that's my first time hearing this song i know you're racking your brain trying

to think of another kyle good luck. There's only Kyle. Even that song is six years old. Oh, I think it's having a TikTok resurgence right now. Kyle's also the guy. He's the one who has the rap, just like DeRozan, when I throw what it goes in. That's Kyle, right? Wow. Because he's got another Raptor connection there.

Yeah, it says he also had the song i spy featuring uh that i remember uh yeah so i just wanted to uh share with you all that uh the kids do know this don't want to fall in love go ahead stew i like hearing um you know i like when songs get sampled in like a clever way and uh i would say that you this you know just with the limited hearing of this version of the song the producer of that track seemed to have had a an interesting take on it with the the pocket was a little bit uh you know how we like it a little bit different me and the vp of ales we are big prog rock guys

sometimes we like it when stuff is a little bit, you know, non-traditional. We're good for them. Yeah. By the way, Mike, does your daughter like G-Eazy? I'd have to ask her. I don't know. It doesn't sound familiar.

I don't know. I'll have to get back to you. G-Eazy seems like he's a very popular artist. Other than sort of the tabloid exploits, I haven't heard time sort of getting a grasp on his music exploits. I'm obviously very out of touch and not the audience for this. Stu, what am I missing? I feel like you're more in tune with this.

Well, I think the thing that you're missing is that the demographic that listens to this show doesn't give a shit about contemporary music. So we should probably stick to talking about the classics and the oldies of yesteryear that shaped all of us into the great human beings we are.

Way to course correct. I like that. I would say that it's our duty to expose those people who don't care about today's music to give them a little taste of it. I mean, I think that they'll be okay without kyle and g easy they probably would still be okay but i appreciate the efforts and now that i know we're looking for new music as well maybe i'll look for some but g easy these guys all have these careers that boggle the mind because we as as adults who

who think we're hip and cool and have our ear to the street these guys slip through our past our radar and they're making millions of dollars doing something that we're unaware of. So good on them. Okay, Stu, I got another news item that showed up in the trending topic section of my Twitter account. Shout out to Twitter, the good people there. I want to ask you about, but first I got to introduce the peanut gallery that's actually on the call, but muted.

So, Levi Fumka is not here, but I see Ian Service is in the pink. Hey, Timmy. Hello. I fixed my mic, I think. Sounds great. Stu, did you notice Ian Service's Zoom name? I did, yeah. Possibly Tim, which is great.

He's a good guy. So,an uh good to see you there and the vp of sales today he's the vp of ales i think that's a shout out to great lakes beer hello tyler hello hello nice to be back wow what a voice great to have both of you guys back you both uh tim Tim looks tanned from his boat trip over on Jackson's Point that caused him to miss us. I got my first haircut this week. I'm very excited. Wow, they did a good job over at Top Cuts.

Magic cuts. Stu's bringing the heat today. I like this. He's throwing like 95 consistently. I think he looks good. And of course, BP avails as a man after my own heart always looks good. Always looks good. He's got a great beard too.

Cam, tell us before I forget, what is your Zoom screen name? Oh, Beckett Hockey Card Price Guide. There's a fine publication that I don't think I've heard. Did you subscribe to this one, Stu?

Sluggers had their own hockey price guide, so that's sort of our competitor. That would be the equivalent of me doing Facebook or Instagram. Or TikTok. I don't know. I feel. Yeah. I sort of have,

I don't know, like I feel like ever since we started doing this, I have baseball cards on my mind. And you may have seen yesterday we had

a virtual event at Work the Sports Summit where we got all our sports partners together. And we actually had the founder and CEO of Twitter,

Jack Dorsey, made a guest appearance. So I actually made fake top cards, tops cards for Jack Dorsey. I saw that. Those were really cool. Yeah, and if you'll check the engagement, by far at least internally, one of the biggest tweets

I've ever had are CFO Ned Siegel liked it. Kavon, who's actually the guy who created Periscope, all the big names internally. So I got some internal shine for that as I threw. That's what you got to do, man.

I got some questions. Also TJ, who's our head of US Sports Partnership. He's awesome. He used to work for ESPN and some other places. Well, feel free to do a Jack Dorsey of all trades if you need to do that one next. He's a big guy. He's been a big guy.

Or at Jack of all trades. He says you guys may know he's from St. Louis. So a pretty big Cardinals fan. Can he get Can Stu Stone get the at Stu handle? Can we get him that?

Like when Norm Kelly got at Norm. Can we get Stu the at Stu handle? Well, I mean Stu is a verified Account so we'll see We'll just see what you can do Who's got it You must have seen Marcus Stroman

Actually changed his Twitter handle About a year ago I feel like people didn't notice this He changed from Mstro6 With like four O's, I believe. And now it's just all uppercase Stro, S-T-R-O, which I quite dig that from a branding perspective.

Yeah, I want at Mike, if you can give me that. Okay, I saw on my Twitter trending topics section, I saw that there was some news about Magic School Bus Live. And I saw it and I said, I got to ask Stu about this. Stu, what's going on with Magic School Bus Live? What do you know? Well, Magic School Bus Live is a tour where there's going to be Magic School Busters going on like a musical tour, singing songs from the show and like it's an ice capades kind of mashup.

I have no idea, to be honest with you. So you're not a part of this. You're not invited to be a part of this. Well, I don't know if I'm invited or not, but there is a Magic School Bus live action movie, I think that's what you're referring to, where they cast Elizabeth Banks to play Miss Frizzle in

the live action Magic School Bus film that apparently is coming soon to a home television near you. A home television near you. A streaming service near you. But Stu, usually when you bring back something, like the new Ghostbusters, for example,

you'll have the original Ghostbusters making cameo appearances. Yes. So Magic School Bus has been pretty consistent about that. They did Magic School Bus. Netflix did a Magic School Bus new series a couple a couple years ago now i guess it was but uh and i was a part of that they did bring me out for that i did about five or six episodes on that so you never know i'm waiting by the phone uh you know while i'm checking garbage day waiting for it to ring and uh hopefully it will and uh maybe i'll make an appearance as ralphie's

dad or ralphie's uncle or, you know. Oh, Stu, what was the results of your COVID test? Oh, I'm fine. I was good. That means negative. That means negative. Yeah. Thanks, guys. Thanks. I've been safe. I've not been on the patio. You know, I've been social distancing. And yeah, it's for those of you who have not had a COVID test yet, that's good. Keep that up.

That's how we keep this pandemic going and keep these episodes going. But for those that want just to know for the sake of just telling you, I found it to be not that scary of an ordeal. I went down to, there's like a testing center Bathurst and Dundas right on the corner there. If you're familiar with those two streets. Like in an old bank, is it not?

I feel like it's where the Scotia Bank used to be. Wherever the bank used to be. And you go in there and it's a pretty you sign up, you get your test and it's a little invasive you sign up you get your uh test and it's it's a little invasive they do stick like a long sort of cotton swab all the way up your nose till it like tickles the back of your skull and so for about five seconds there's like this like like a sensation that you've never experienced before but it goes away you know it's pretty quick it's like when the dentist

is like uh uh goes to give you that huge needle to freeze your mouth. And it's like, yeah, just, and then they just do it. Right. Sort of the same sort of discomfort. But it was worth it. I ended up getting the results. And since then, I am, you know, confidently can go around. But did you see Aunt Sandy?

I did see Aunt Sandy. I got to see my aunt, which was really fantastic. I brought her lottery tickets. I brought her a bag of popcorn. I brought her, you know, I brought her all the goodies. She was very happy. Contraband? Yes.

Brought her a little weed. Stu, you brought her a little weed. That's legal. Stu, did Aunt Sandy, did you have her sign up for Garbage Day at GarbageDay.com slash Toronto Mike? Of course I did. Because in the long-term care facility that she is living in, they need to know when it's Garbage Day there as well. And, you know, if you could just get in there, there's about 200 residents. That's 200 signups.

You're already in there. Like, I don't need to get in there. You tested negative and now you're in there you need to grab all the smartphones i am looking you know as a matter of fact there's garbage day.com forward slash stew that is my affiliate program that i am now starting don't confuse the people don't confuse the people so garbage day.com slash toronto mike that's where you guys sign up for your, get your weekly reminders about your curbside collection. I love it. It's fantastic.

Everybody should do it. Shout out to a new member of the peanut gallery who just popped on the zoom call. Leave a Fumka is here. And I just noticed her screen name is hashtag. I'm with stew. So she, she got that from Linda,

of course, who is the OG when it comes to being with Stu. So she got that from Linda, of course, who is the OG when it comes to being with Stu. So, and you look really relaxed, Levi. I'm looking at you. You look like you're going to go on a yacht or something. Like you look very summery and relaxed. Possibly tennis or golf or... Cycling.

Cycling, there you go. Did you wear a helmet? Did you wear a helmet? Yes, I did. I thought you were just going to play like poker after. Like this is sort of your... Did you wear a helmet? Did you wear a helmet? I did. I thought you were just going to play like poker after. Like this is sort of your throne of clauses. Oh yeah, it does look like a poker thing.

I'm happy to see that she is hashtag with Stu and other Toronto Mike listeners are encouraged to hashtag I'm with Stu as well. But you know, our friendship has had ups and downs and it's only made us stronger because a true friendship, you're allowed to have ups and downs. Because at the end of the day, we have unconditional love and respect for each other. I love it. In your heart. It's just crazy.

She has a huge heart. Now, Lieve is late. A wonderful human. Lieve is late, but she has not missed the main announcement, which we're going to make right now. Was this Cam's turn to pick the theme? It was, yes. Yeah, I feel like this was a bit of a group effort

because we've been sort of circling the drain on this one a bit. So today, the working title, and maybe we'll be different once we tweet it out, but Cameos and Collabs. Cameos and Collabs. So this is about guest appearances. Some that might be obvious, some perhaps a bit

less obvious. I think this came out of when we were talking about D. Light and obviously the famous guest spot. I think it was a listener that actually suggested this category. I have it here. I have it here. I feel like it was about Q-Tip.

Talk about Q-Tip and Daddy Rumble, maybe his name came up. Was it the next? it here i have it here it was i feel like it's about q-tip like talk about q-tip and uh the the daddy rumble maybe came his name came up was um it was okay there's a twitter user named to underscore resident to resident oh yeah who tweeted at us to suggest this topic and he did it spun out of us talking about q-tip's came in D-Lite's Groove is in the Heart. And he said, we should all be picking like our favorite cameos. So if I'm hearing you right, Cam, you mentioned collab. Collab kind of changes a bit.

Like this is not like duets or when there's a featured artist on it. Like you can't go pick a Rihanna song and say, oh, look at the cameo by Drake. If it's like a big feature, Drake feature. say, oh, look at the cameo by Drake if it's like a big feature Drake feature. Well, yeah, I mean, this is a dusty corner

of the Toronto Mike catalog, because yeah, I mean, we're really looking for I'll just say like guest spots. Well, you know what? The interesting thing is this theory is going to be put to the test because we actually have the largest live audience we've ever had here we have three people and

that's not by coincidence that's by design we have three official judges that are here to give the thumbs up or thumbs down whether they these songs qualify i love it just so we can actually see for once and for all that stew wins and And this is good. So three, so yeah. So cameos and collabs. Can we, these three, I just want to make sure there's no like Stu bias at play here. I'm worried about Levi Fumka, whose hashtag is I'm with Stu. Like, can we trust Levi Fumka to be objective when it comes to your jam? There is no one more trustworthy in the toronto mike universe uh

she is the most trustworthy okay and i'm sorry vp avails you're a very trustworthy guy too but come on yeah well i'll just i'll just say to our panel here uh i'll just say i'd hate for anything to happen to your twitter account i'll just i'll just throw that there again i was hanging with jack dorsey yesterday at the Sports Summit. If you were to fuck with someone's Twitter account, I know somebody in journalism. Her initials are MF and the expose

exposing that. How dare you? Are you going to get Peter Silverman on the case? Watch it, buddy. I should zoom with him while he's still walking amongst us. Is there some sort of scandal that we need to know about?

He threatened a scandal. Are you not paying attention, Stu? We got to get in here. I just want to say a few quick things, which is that if you're looking to buy and or sell real estate... Now, how did I know you were going to do that?

In the GTA, Austin Keitner is my man. Have a conversation with him. Austin from the Keitner group, uh, text Toronto Mike to five, nine, five,

five, nine, engage, engage Austin. You won't regret it. That, that, that man is a sweetheart.

Is he single? No, he's got like, how can we engage? Please. There's always a way. There's always a sweetheart. Is he single? No. He's got like... So how can we engage him? Please. There's always a way. There's always a way. So Toronto Mike to 59559.

You're a real homewrecker trying to send people his way like that. He looks a bit like a young Jason Priestley. He's a handsome guy. A young Jason Priestley, I'd say. So StickerU, thank you. Great people at StickerU.com. Is there anybody that has like an old Jason Priestley? Like when you a young Jason Priestley, I'd say. So, StickerU, thank you. Great people at StickerU.com. Is there anybody that has, like, an old Jason Priestley?

Like, when you think of Jason Priestley, don't you just think about young – I think, like, Tom – Everyone, close your eyes. Think of Jason Priestley. Don't you just see young Jason Priestley? Don't you watch Private – what's it called? Private Eyes? There's a show on Global or something called Private Eyes with an old Jason Priestley.

It's happening, buddy. I was unaware of that. My bad. That Tom Skerritt is a good-looking man. Still? Because he's been... Remember Space Camp? Ah, yes. I loved Space Camp as a kid, and I remember Tom Skerritt was in that. That's a long time ago.

Real quick, bringing it to an FOTM. Private Eyes, starring Jason Priestley, is based on a book written by great FOTM Gare Joyce I'm actually looking forward to see the next book which is about Joey Tata who played Nat

from the Peach Pit Andrea's like in charge of like the union or something right? I believe she's I was going to say she's the I was going to say she's the church of Actra. It's not... Something or other.

Andrea and I both have something in common in that we both have played high schoolers well into our 30s. That's right. And you've both offered yourself to Jason Priestley for an evening of amorous... Andrea, that's funny okay I don't kiss and tell okay we're ready to rock

I just want to let everyone know palma pasta that's the best I know leave a funk has been there recently I mean you gave such a enthusiastic post for Austin Kightner you're just gonna throw away sometimes the fewer words are bad honestly palma pasta calm they're in Mississauga and Oakville

you can get them on skip the dishes but wonderful italian food i love that food and i gotta say did anyone did anyone tune in and catch the first excluding my uh wonderful wife monica the first in-person toronto-wiked interview since mid-march did anybody see ben rayner in my backyard i i i listened to the whole thing. I didn't watch the video, but I did listen. I say this with complete sincerity.

That was a fucking great episode. I'm just a big fan of both you guys and Ben. I've read from him. He's great. You should make this into a thing. You guys have a great rapport. He's awesome. You're awesome.

It was a great lesson. Very open and honest, too. A lot of candor. As opposed to closed and full of shit like these episodes. I don't like pandemic Fridays. I've had those. I've had those. I agree with you that he came and he was completely honest and so up front about his struggles and where he's at.

And it was so nice to see Ben, who was beaming with happiness. And it was a wonderful conversation. And I got to say, Wiseblood chimed in to say, the recipe for the real talk is in-person and Great Lakes beer flowing. And he said both were present there. Because he was enjoying some great, cold Great Lakes, as I was. And it really was a wonderful night. Go ahead.

Could I just say one more thing about that? I also did find it, and I don't have a horse in this race beyond working in communications, but I actually thought it was sort of nice just to hear a story about somebody having a good experience with the Toronto Star, too. It sounded like they were very supportive as he dealt with some stuff too. There's just, I mean, the Stars had so much negative press, frankly, for years now. And I mean, Ben even touched on

the whole Star Touch and that whole thing. But it sounded like they really sort of had his back as he dealt with this stuff too, which is just kind of nice to see again as a lifelong Toronto Star reader. And I think for those of us who grew up in the city it's unrelated to that story and i do think you know obviously i should go take check uh to take a listen and a watch of that because that sounds like a great

episode but the toronto star uh and my aunt sandy so i brought her a toronto star newspaper was one of the things i brought her and she was was like, I don't want a newspaper. I don't need that. It turned out that for the next, it took her three days to read that newspaper. She read it cover to cover. When the cleaning people came in to throw away the paper, she got so angry. So I brought her another Toronto Star. And now we actually have gotten her a subscription to the Toronto Star.

So while they might be losing subscribers, I just got them one. And starting tomorrow on Toronto Mike's birthday, which we haven't brought up yet. to the Toronto Star. So while they might be losing subscribers, I just got them one. And starting tomorrow on Toronto Mike's birthday, which we haven't brought up yet, my aunt is going to start her subscription to the Toronto Star. So let's just say happy birthday to Toronto Mike, who is celebrating his 50, what is it, 51? Get in there, man.

Get in there. No. But Mazel Tov on another trip around the globe and trip around the sun. And the world has changed since your last birthday, that's for sure. Well, my last birthday, you guys were at because as you were at Leavey and you were... Tyler, were you there? No, he was out of town. And Ian never makes it these things.

He lives too far away or something. But this was TMLX three and lowest of the low. And I was actually watching video. Somebody tweeted video of lowest of the low plane on great lakes, uh, patio a year ago tomorrow. So on the 27th, June 27th,

2019, and that whole vibe and I, Oh, it all came back to me. The wonderful people that were there. The, uh, fact that not only did I have the Royal Pains

and the great Al Grego, but lowest of the low, at least Lawrence and Ron Hawkins, and they were amazing and they changed up Rosie and Gray at the end to I'm going to take a streetcar downtown, listen to Toronto Mike, wander around,

drink some Great Lakes from a tin. It was just a magical, I keep pinching myself, did that happen? What a night. It was just a magical I keep pinching myself, like, did that happen? What a night. That was only a year ago, and now things are different. I just put in the chat window, and of course there was an iconic photo with you, myself,

Stu Stone, Hebsey, and 1236. Wow! They called it the Fab Five. I thought you were going to call it Mount Rushmore. Like that rock band that was popular for a while. Right. Yes, they played for the Wolverines, I think. It was a great night.

Great night. It was a great night. So thank you for the well wishes there. We've got to get to these jams. Do you want to say anything before I kick out the first Cam gordon jam uh and i really am fascinated to discuss at the end whether that would be a cameo or if that's like like it'll be interesting like how we all see it like what is a cameo on a well yeah i'll i'll say this i i hope stew stone doesn't have any sharp objects i think he's gonna rage when he sees some of my pics i think think he's going to hate them. Cameo to me always means word up.

So hopefully that's not in here. And also I believe he used to wear a little piece there. If you remember he had some oversized jock strap over his building. A cod piece? Is that what they call it? A cod piece? And also you can't say cameo without cam.

Wow. Shout out to Cambrio. Cambrio. Cam Brio. Yeah. All right. Here's Cam's first cameo jam. Hey, this is Skeeter. Welcome to the celebration.

You brothers and sisters of Boundary Beach are pinnacle of funk. But before I proceed, I need to hit a funk ad. Ah! That's the funk. The whole funk.

And nothing but the funk. You should all be baptized in the funk. The bread. with a breath. Check, check, check, check, check on that. So, so, so, so, so, so, so. Open up your doors, open up your doors. Let the funk flow in from this homie Jay and his newfound friends. I'm hitting switches like Eric on the solo creep. For your G, it's the BR18. Putting a dip in your hip from right to left And on top of all that

I'm so, so down That's my clique Hey homie, that's who I rose with And we kick nothing but the fetish Them calls please don't funcify Funkalistic, vocalistic That they ain't ready for But they just don't hear me though

Because we're so funkified We make it move from side to side We're coming straight from the 606 Vogue boat is the Brett and JD Big baby So lay back and listen as I catch up on Mike Pimp And then freak this duet just like Ashford and Simpson Cause I'm so, so

Okay Cam, educate us Okay, so yes So Stu called it This This is Da Brat. The song Funktified. Definitely the biggest hit of all time from Da Brat. Great hip hop artist. Female hip hop artist. I'm glad you finished that sentence with Da Brat.

Da Brat. And the cameo is from the prolific Jermaine Dupri, someone who's been in our life for many years. Stu's, like, pissed off. I'm going to say a few words about Da Brat and a few words about Jermaine Dupri that you guys can have at it. So this song, Functified Samples,

of course, the Isley Brothers, Between the Sheets that we've heard on many hip-hop songs. Including Notorious B.I.G. Big Papa. That's right, Big Papa and also Benita Applebaum from Tribe, featuring the aforementioned Q-Tip. This song went to

number six on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1994. I mean, I sort of remember her in the 2000s because she was on The Surreal Life season 4 alongside such luminaries as Chyna and Vern Troyer both of whom are no longer with us.

Rest in peace. She's had a lot of legal issues also in the 2000s. This is kind of interesting. Twice she had issues that resulted from hitting people with rum bottles. So she hit people with bottles twice a second that landed her in prison for about three years.

She was in prison for three years? Yeah, she hit someone with a rum bottle in 2007, which, yeah, she had had some priors, so had some challenges. Let's switch over to Jermaine Dupri for a second. Again, I think he first got famous because he was sort of discovered crisscross, came out a couple of years prior to this. Something interesting I learned from his Wikipedia page,

he was a dancer for Houdini now not the Houdini that just left us, the Toronto rapper but the 80s rapper Houdini the freaks come out at night exactly and like Jermaine Dupri is only 47 he seems like he's just done

he's packed a lot into his life obviously the relationship with Janet Jackson amongst other things. But anyway, Jermaine Dupri put a few verses in Da Brat, Funkified. Great cameo here. Stu, what do you think of this choice? Well, you know, I think that it's pretty lazy to... I mean, as much as I respect the Da Brat choice, because I like the song,

I mean, as much as I respect the Da Brat choice, because I like the song, but producers typically on hip hop tracks in the 90s and beyond, producers of the track typically are, you know, Pup Daddy. They're all over the track. So you can really make a case for almost any rap song, because there's like usually, you know, once producers started getting more famous than the rappers the producers started showing up on the tracks even going like uh-huh yeah uh-huh yeah take that take that take that or whatever they do uh so i don't know if this is so much a cameo is so much like a required of the era the producer getting on the track and saying a few things. But, you know. I don't think anybody ever heard that song functified and thought, hmm, who's that? That's a really interesting cameo.

That was never, who did Digging? I don't know. I just don't think of that song. But you did. So it makes it easier for me to sort of win this round. I think, Stu, this is a valid choice in that

it is a cameo it's just uh remarkably how did sloan put it it's like i'm underwhelmed if that's a word oh like i just i just feel like it's a bit of an underwhelming beginning like i i hope it picks up because it's like oh it's going to as long as you play my songs in the order i sent them to you it's gonna pick up real big i going to, as long as you play my songs in the order I sent them to you, it's going to pick up real big. I don't mean to judge, like you shouldn't judge another man's jam. So I would say it definitely.

And I guess we need, like, I, I think it's a, it's a fair choice. Just, I don't know. I feel a little meh about this.

I'll say this. I'll say this, you know, we, this is what the 12th episode of pandemic Fridays. It took 12 episodes to get to Brad on, so I respect that. Just let me finish, okay? Again, someone mute this guy.

I'll just say, I feel like the three of us have fallen into sort of our lanes with what we bring to the table. I feel, and I've gotten a lot of tweets, a lot of positive feedback from this, from the fan base. Even on Instagram, I've gotten like a DM on Instagram about Pandemic Fridays if you can believe it, but people like that I bring these big hits that we don't

hear too much these days I also think Debratt probably is a good choice for Cam to speak to because she seems like the type of artist that might retweet something if you tag her. From jail? I think you're being a brat right now, to be perfectly clear.

Okay, for the first time ever, we have three people in the judging chambers or whatever. This is like Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell and, uh, Randy Johnson here. What are we looking for? Thumbs up. What's his name? We've got Mark Langston's here. Uh,

Oh yeah. Chuck, Chuck, Chuck Finley. What's his name? Remind me. Uh, Randy Jackson.

Oh yeah. That guy, Randy Jackson. Former, former, uh, bass player for journey. Was it right?

Something like that. Yeah. Okay. So, thumbs up or thumbs down from the three judges? Oh, okay. The VP of sales went up, and I'm looking at Lieve Fumke's thumb right now. It's sideways. I don't think that counts.

Lieve, you can't pick a side there. She's not voting. Okay. Well, thumb up anyways from Tim. I mean, Ian Service. So, this one, we all agree this pick a side there. She's not voting. Okay, what did... And okay, well, thumb up anyways from Tim. I mean, Ian Service. So this one, we all agree, this is a good example of a cameo. And I like having judges.

We should have done this every week. All right, I'm going to play a great jam here selected by Stu Stone. This is going to be like the definition of what this subject is right now, guys. So pay attention. I love how it builds. I love this song.

This is our 15th Pandemic Friday episode. 15th. This is number 15. I did the math I've got a fucking hard stop at 115 so it's good just kidding this song is about 3 hours long it is a good 7 and a half minutes

we needed the radio edit I think for Pandemic Friday here it comes it's like as if we don't know what's coming but it's We'll be right back. All right. Now we can start talking, guys. This is money for nothing, chicks for free. We got to move these microwave ovens. The band is Dire Straits.

Their 1985 album, Brothers in Arms. Legendary music video, which we'll get into. A legendary parody by Weird Al Yankovic and UHF, which I get praised for whenever I can mention it, so I'll mention it again. The Beverly Hillbillies. Right. Before I get into the cameo that is in this song,

I want to talk about that guitar lick that opens up the song, which should be sampled by a rapper. I don't know why it hasn't yet. Basically, that was not only the theme song for WWE's Cavalcade on Channel 11, WWE's cavalcade on Channel 11. But Mark Knopfler, the super Jewish guitar player for the Dire Straits, we like to claim him.

He was trying to look for some sort of new sound and he was watching MTV and saw his contemporary ZZ Top having a career resurgence. There's another 70s band that had a nice 80s run. ZZ Top's guitar sound seemed to sort of blow his mind. He reached out to his buddy Billy Gibbons and asked him,

where are you getting that guitar tone from? And from experimenting on the advice that he may or may not have received, he found that sound sound which is different than anything else that he'd ever played before. And we've got a really legendary guitar lick. We'll get into the music video in one moment here, but let's talk about the cameo. This is where the thumbs are all going to go up. Of course, if you didn't know, if you've been living under some sort of rock and or roll, The voice saying, I want my MTV throughout the song is Sting. Not to be confused with former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Sting.

I'm talking about Sting of the Police. Not to be confused with the organization that a lot of people are protesting against right now. The band, the police, Sting. Brand new day, Sting. Every breath you take, Sting. I'll be wrapped around your fingers. Sting. Every little thing she does is magic. Don't stand so

close to me. Sting. That is the guy singing Money for Nothing. A rare example of a non-Canadian gourd. He's a gourd and sumner. And there's a late bloomer as well. Sting, of course, rose to popularity at the age of 61. You know, he's a gordon sumner and there's a late bloomer as well sting of course rose to popularity at

the age of 61 uh which you know he was a uh i'm like i'm embellishing a little bit but he was a little bit older for to get a start a late bloomer and what a career he's had and uh of course appearing on this show which obviously this song also has some controversial lyrics that uh are shockingly still played on the radio um but uh this is a song that should probably have a lyric or two beeped out. But that is a great, great thing to talk about because in one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time, the same word is dropped. And I always wonder if it's in the context of the character.

But you're right. There's great controversy. A homophobic slur is in the lyrics of this song. Yeah. Which goes to show you what the universe was back then and obviously it shows progression, it shows how much we have changed, at least at this point because we hear that word and we think whoa, that shouldn't be said, whereas no one would have even batted an eye

back then, I'm not going to utter the word because I'm not interested in giving it any sort of power. But definitely the focus is not about that word. The focus is on the song Money for Nothing, which is like a working class sort of anthem. And interestingly enough, Mark Knoppler hated the concept of doing that. The music video that ended up being a record breaking sort of bar setting music video. that ended up being a record-breaking sort of bar setting music video.

It was the first, one of the first music videos ever to use computer animation. And this is like way ahead of its time, computer animation. And it was, it won them the music video of the year. I think it sort of propelled the song even to greater heights. The song reached number one everywhere. A number one hit song. And, you know, he wanted to do a music video that sort of showcased himself playing the guitar. Do you want to hear a sting before?

Hold on. Do you want to hear a little sting? Hold on. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I don't know if I knew this. Like, I think maybe if I knew it, I forgot I knew it. You know when that happens?

Like, you hear a fun fact and you forget it. Like, you forgot Sting was in it? Or Stink, as I like to call him. I think I forgot Sting does that part of this song. But I haven't thought of this song in a long time. All right, well. And I didn't mean to cut you off. I don't even need to go to the judges on this one I already know that this is a

this is like if you look up cameos and whatever the hell Kim called this subject this is gonna be a song that's on there I don't have a lot to add to this I think Stu and Stu I think this is a fine choice I'm not gonna take the bait of like this little war words

that you're trying to throw out there. I think this is a fine choice. A couple of comments. Stu, of course, Dire Straits. The favorite band of all time of our Adam Seidenberg we went to high school with. Big Mark Knopfler guy.

Also, I remember the first couple times I saw the video for Loverboy working for The Weeknd. I thought it was Dire Straits. Who's the guy we talked about in recent? Mike Reno also wears a headband. I figured this must be the same guy. Oh, yeah, headband. That's right.

He was in that duet we played. He's famously in that Almost Paradise. Almost Paradise with the Wilson sister from Footloose. So, yeah, this is a great choice. Good cameo. You know what I will say? Definitely a cameo. Sting is to Dire Straits as Bryan Adams is to Glass Tiger.

Why wouldn't Bryan Adams sing on Glass Tiger? He's singing Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone. Really? Yeah. I actually almost picked it. It was on my short list. Well, you should have picked it. That would have blown my mind.

Yeah, I honestly did not know that. And then when I thought about it, I'm like, of course that's him. Okay, well, I wish I'd picked it now. I feel like I missed my chance here. I've got to go listen to that song again. I'll play it real quickly here just so we... Where did he sing? It's in the chorus? I'll show you. Hold on. Yeah. In the chorus. Hold on. Let me find it.

It's coming. Hold on. Hold on. Here they go. Hey, listen. Hold on. So this is Glass Tiger. Then on. Hold on. Wait. So this is Glass Tiger, then this part right here. Wait. It's coming later.

It's in here. It's on. I'll bring it down while I skip ahead because that's annoying. But I can hear it in my head right now. I know it's... Is this it? Hold on. So weird. He just like came in for one line?

Yeah. So, Sting is to, you know, Dire Straits, as Bryan Adams is to Sky Dome opening night where Glass Tiger Alan Thicke is hosting that

Alan Thicke were you there Stu I feel like I was there with my mom and dad I think so yeah Gloria Martin I feel like Robert Goulet was there or was that Russell Mania? Andre Philip Gagnon.

That's right. Yeah, this was Retro Ontario I think recently put this online like in its entirety because it's awful. It's actually really hokey and awful and it rains of course because they... There's like dancing people dress up in Argonaut uniforms like it's brutal. Like it's very...

Yeah. Okay. Hasn't aged well. Just my final thoughts onaut uniforms. Like, it's brutal. Like, it's very, yeah. Okay. Has an age well. Just my final thoughts on the Stu pick is that it's an excellent pick. I think that's a perfect example of a cameo. So, kudos to you, Stu. And I don't need to go to the judges, but I will as a formality. If anyone puts a thumb down, I'm going to remove them from the Zoom chat. I just want to warn all the judges. All right, judges.

And I'm sort of joking, not really. Yes or no on the Dire the judges. All right, judges, and I'm sort of joking, not really. Yes or no on the Dire Straits. Ian's on a call, so we'll go. No, no, he gave a thumbs up. So everyone gave their thumbs up. Now, my first jam, well, I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I've made some slips lately

because I'm a busy man. I slip here and there. But here's my first jam. because I'm a busy man. I slip here and there. But here's my first jam. Is Andrew Dice Clay your cameo? Oh my God. A little hacky.

A little hacky. I love this song. This would have been good last week on the One Hit Wonders. And I must just give you away the things you say You're unbelievable Now is this considered a cameo? Because this is the first time I've actually been in a studio And like recording on the track Like I feel like that's an example Not to sound like the drum Not to sound like one of the greatest Canadian drummers in the history

But I feel like this is more of a sample Not to sound like one of the greatest Canadian drummers in the history, but I feel like this is more of a sample. All right, no, fair comment. Okay, let me have it again. I cook up my list of five quickly. I always have a short list in case there's repeats. This week, there was no repeats. Stu picked a song that was like my number six choice, but there's no repeats today, this week.

So that, oh, And then at some point the, it's unbelievable, is Andrew Dice Clay. And also he did Blow Me, I think, at one point. Okay. I don't remember that. So yeah, I

just thought, I know what you're saying, this is a sample, but it's also a cameo. Like this is EMF, Ecstasy Motherfuckers, I believe what you're saying, this is a sample, but it's also a cameo. Like, this is EMF, Ecstasy Motherfuckers, I believe, if I remember correctly. And their big hit, it was a monster jam. Huge hit. And Andrew Dice Clay has a cameo

in it, be it a sample or not. My argument is that being a sample does not, there it is, it's unbelievable, does not preclude it from being a cameo. Go ahead. I think the song is unbelievable. Yeah, it's a great track.

I'll say this. I did want to try to find at least one song and bring one song to the table that had a cameo from a non-musician. I failed. I thought of a... We talked about a Warren Zavon song that had a David Letterman cameo

a few weeks ago. Hit somebody! Yeah, so I think that's a cameo from a non-musician, but yeah, I don't know about this. But you're thinking about it, right? Because you're not sure I'm wrong. No, no, you're wrong.

You're definitely wrong. But I will say that the song is great. It breaks my heart to thumbs down the song. But under the context and under the guidelines, this is absolute nonsense. Oh. Okay. And you're saying if Andrew Dice like just like okay if i'm hearing

you right just like how brian adams went in the studio to record a part yeah last time that would have been a better choice for you that you would have had there would have been a parade in your honor had you put glass tiger but you went with this and it is your birthday so i feel terrible well it's not my birthday yet it's not my birthday yet tomorrow's my birthday but uh okay now should we just go straight to the judges i'm kind of bracing myself because i can see uh vp of sales like kind of stretching out his thumb like he's ready to rock here so let's start let's start with vp of sales uh thumbs up or thumbs down oh that's a double that's double thumbs is that the first thumbs down we've seen today that's never been that's never been done but that's the first double thumbs down we've had

we're only on one round one oh my god okay uh keep going into mike's birthday oh my god i got a thumbs up from leave a fumka that is a that is up that was way up okay thank you leave a you're i'm gonna keep you on the Zoom. VP, thanks for coming out. Yikes. We don't have a tiebreaker. So it's a draw? Are you fucking kidding me? It's over! Oh, do we

retire number 15? Do the Raptors retire number 15? Of course they should. Yeah, I agree. There are still people out there like my buddy Elvis who, go ahead. The only thing that makes me more sad about the fact

that Vince Carter's legendary career sort of comes to an end without getting the proper sort of fanfare, the proper sort of like walk off the court with the applause.

The only thing really that makes me more sad than that is that you picked this song as a cameo and that you got a thumbs up somehow.

But I can't, you know, I really, I do like that judge. That's a good friend of mine. So I'm not going to attack the judge. But boy, oh boy, I think, yeah. When Ian comes back, we'll get a tiebreaker if I remember to come back to it. But here is, oh, by the way, if anyone knows, there's a song, I think it's called

Security of the First World. It's from, it takes a nation of millions to hold us back. That is exactly what we're listening to right now. But this is actually, well, I'll let it play a bit and then we'll talk about it. Cam, we'll talk about it. I'll kiss you in Paris. Oh, and I hope I had to grow

This song gets me, uh... Oh, I'm naked Good thing we can only see Mike from the waist up here. Yo, hands up. Let's hear your hands up in view, Mike. You put this in me. I have a story about this song but I'll wait

I'm trying to figure out what the cameo is here do you guys know Little Louie a French kiss I think it's called French kiss do you know that song

it's like a classic house song it has a lot of anyway just sort of this song always reminds me of that because it has like orgasmic moans in it

alright I can't wait to hear Cam explain. What's the cameo, everything about it? Yeah, so this is something I learned in my research for this show. So this is Madonna, Justify My Love, a track from her, I don't know if this was their first Greatest Hits collection,

the Immaculate collection from 1990. I think it was released as its own standalone thing and then it maybe got included in that. Yeah, I think you're right there. Wikipedia describes this as a trip-hop song, which is kind of interesting. It certainly sounds a bit

like Massive Attack and Tricky and all those artists. The description for the video on Wikipedia is quite humorous. The accompanying music video portrays Madonna as a woman walking in a hotel hallway, looking distressed and tired from work until being seduced into having sex with a mysterious man and woman. A menage a trois situation. Yeah, Mike, I mean, you've kind of had one of my points here

samples of Public Enemy Security in the First World but no writing credit to the Bomb Squad or Chuck D it also samples the James Brown funky drummer it's been sampled by

I'm hearing you say the word sample when is the cameo coming in well here's the final point. Some backing vocals here by the gentleman who also produced the song and co-wrote the song. An artist.

He's a guitar player. You might have heard of him. Lenny Kravitz. What are you going to do? So Lenny Kravitz appears on this track, co-wrote it. Wow, I had no idea. And Backing Vocals, I had no idea either, to be honest. I had no idea either.

Can you hear him? I think they're buried deep in the mix, but he was also apparently the one who brought in the samples of Funky Drummer and Security in the First World. But if you listen close enough, maybe if you kind of disassemble this track, you'll hear some Backing Vocals in a real

cameo-ish format from Lenny Kravitz. I had no idea that he was involved in this whatsoever. Well, there you go. But I can tell you that when this song... This was sort of like Madonna's sort of shock era. Well, she always sort of went for shock, but this is

where she sort of surpassed whatever line she had previously attempted to make people think about. Edgy line she kind of crossed. This is probably one of the early videos that I recall being banned from MTV. And in order to get the video, you actually had to go to the record shop and buy a VHS copy of the video to see it. I got my father to take me to the store and I went around and somehow finagled and got the video. And me and my friends were so excited that we thought we were going to be getting some sort of like, you know, porkies or something.

We didn't know what to expect. And it turned out to be some really, you know, art house sort of, you know, bondage, S&M, you know, very, very sort of you know, bondage at an M, you know, very, sort of like a Fellini film. Oh, it's stew stone.

Yeah, sort of, sort of, you know, it showed like, you know, sort of some same sex type stuff that maybe we wouldn't have seen at that point in our lives.

It was very, very racy and steamy and hot, but it really was sort of like, it was kind of like eyes, eyes wide shut vibe, like very New York, downtown art world. Ahead of its time, but definitely very, you know, for the time

it was a little underwhelming considering what we were thinking like it was going to be, but Justify My Love. What a sultry track. You know, she was dating Warren Beatty at the time that she made this, so maybe he was into some of that kind of kink and it rubbed off on her okay quick i'm gonna play a little bit benning moose maybe in the mix right right do you remember that movie truth or dare

she had that was like shot all in white well yeah she got uh threatened uh they were gonna arrest her in toronto this video sort of got it that movie sort of accompanied this video both in black and white if I recall yeah who was it who was in the video and was like he was all square or something he got kind of dragged it wasn't it was Warren Beatty

real quick I just before this because it's a short song this is from It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back this is Security of the First World by Public Enemy so I'm just going to play it and when Justify My Life Broke I was you know this was one of the first world by public enemy so i'm just gonna play it and when justify my life broke i was you know uh this was one of my fate this uh public enemy song was very well known to me because i played it takes a nation of millions to hold us back a million times so i was mad at the madonna song because people didn't seem to recognize it was a public enemy song so i felt like some anger towards her i need to work that out with my therapist. But I want to say before we move on, because the Lenny Kravitz cameo I did not know

about. That's a fascinating fact. I kind of heard it a little bit, like a minute and a half left in the song. I just want to say I'm watching on Prime. I'm watching the series, the television series High Fidelity, because I love the book and I love the movie and they okay there goes the public enemy but I just want to say Zoe Kravitz is the star like Zoe Kravitz plays the protagonist in the High Fidelity television series

and she's very very very good in this role I just wanted to shout out Lenny Kravitz's daughter and that's I was just going to say one more comment about again this is from 1990 so like Lenny kravitz was still you know pretty underground at that time this is before uh are you gonna go my way probably a year before yeah so like after mr cab driver but yeah prior to really hitting kind of super mainstream so it was it was quite an edgy collaboration considering madonna was uh needless to say, a household name.

Well, it wasn't advertised because I didn't know about it until today. Right. No, me too. Me too. So very good. I mean, we don't get a vote. I just say that's a great example of a cameo. So, Cam, I enjoyed that very much.

And the judges, thumbs up or thumbs down for this one? A thumb up from Levi Fumka, a thumb up from Tyler, and a thumb up from Ian, who has returned to the Pink Flamingo Studios. Okay. And I'm afraid to ask Ian about mine. Can we actually retroactively get his vote from the last round? Was EMF a good cameo?

Tim? Who's the cameo? Who's cameoing? andrew okay andrew dice if i may stew if i may oh sure andrew dice yes okay that's a thumbs up put up your thumb yeah yes mike wins again okay let's kick out the second stew stone jam Sick bass line there. to the party like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye

Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself go And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner

And you're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain You're so vain I'll bet you think this song is about you. We've got to wait for the second chorus. The second chorus. We're right here.

We're going to pop in. Okay, well, why don't you... Let's talk about the song. Yeah, tell me when it's... Just remember to kind of turn it up on the second... Just tell me when to turn it up. I'll turn it up. Talk to me.

Sure. This is Carly Simon. We've heard a little bit of her name over the last few weeks, but this is her most famous song, You're So Vain, which is, you probably think this song is about you but it is not about you we'll get to who it is about shortly but a song that has been shrewd and covered in mystery and controversy everyone wanting to know who the song is about we'll get into that shortly uh but uh there is definitely

you want me to turn up this part? Do you want me to turn it up? Sure. You're so vain. You probably think this song is about you. You're so vain. You're so vain. I'll bet you think this song is about you. Don't you? Don't you? Don't you?

I mean, there you go. Can we guess? I don't... Wait. Only because I actually have no idea who it is, except that I recognize the voice now. I just... And I've heard this song a hundred times,

but now it sounds like Willie Nelson. No, not Willie Nelson. Anybody else have any clues? The answer is Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones singing the hook on your Sovay. else have any clues? The answer is Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones singing the hook on your Sovay. Stew Stone, bringing you another mind-blowing fact that you didn't

know. Mick Jagger singing on this track, and when the chorus comes up again, now that you know it's Mick, have a listen. We probably think the song is about you. You're so great. I'll make you think the song is about you. Don't you I think that's generally no. It's not credited. No one in this room knew.

No, it's the opposite. Okay, yeah. You know what? I fucking love this. I love that I am learning shit on this episode. I think this is my favorite episode so far because I educated you about the Bryan Adams being in the Glass Tiger hit.

I did not know Mick Jagger was on your Sylvain. Mick Jagger was on your Sylvain. And can you still hear me? Yes, I can. Yeah. People think that the song might have been about Mick Jagger, but it is not about Mick Jagger. How he ended up on the track. He was friendly, let's just say,

with Carly Simon at the time and he called her up and she happened to be recording the vocals and he said, what are you doing? She said, come on by, we're recording vocals. He showed up, got on the track. In fact, this part that I'm not turning up is where it's most noticeable.

Well done, Stu Stone. Well, here's a fun fact. Real fun fact here about the mystery surrounding the Who Is The Song About. In 2003, Carly Simon agreed to reveal the name of the song subject to the highest bidder of a Dreams charity auction. subject to the highest bidder of a dreams charity auction dick ebersole of the nbc sports and saturday night's main event fame top bid of fifty thousand dollars got to hear who the song was about and some may have speculated some of the men that she had dated you know formerly married to james taylor she said that's not him david Bowie, David Cassidy, Cat Stevens, all potential candidates. But at the end of the day, as confirmed by Miss Simon herself, and we just heard his name mentioned in the previous song,

Warren Beatty is actually, at least we know the second verse she has confirmed, but Warren Beatty is the subject of your survey. So you're learning not only that Mick Jagger provided a cameo on the track, but we are learning that Warren Beatty was the subject of the song You're So Vain. I bet you think this song is about you. And she claims that it's actually a love song because he isn't so vain. So it's sort of said to him in sort of an ironic way.

Apparently he was a lovely man. So there you go. Wow. Another victory for Stu. Juan Beatty is still with us. Yes. Is he not? 100%. Yeah. What was his movie about the bull? Remember the rap movie? He's in the movie. Bullworth. Yeah. We talked about that

last week. The ghetto superstar. Yeah. Ross and friends. Maybe Hades Dweller is right. Maybe we're repeating. No, I don't think we are repeating the same stories I just think we're weaving this fabric and all these stories intertwine beautifully to make this beautiful quilt is what I think there's a lot of like nice shout outs

the past episodes right right right right okay I think this is another another stew stone slam dunk another great selection wow let's go to the judges what do the judges think about your soain with the Mick Jagger cameo? I see three thumbs up from the judges. That's by the way.

In two rounds, I've gotten six thumbs. No, we don't count it that way. What you've done is you're two for two, as is Cam Gordon, and I might be as well after this one. Because I did succeed that first. Don't forget. That first jam. Did that brat really got two thumbs?

Did the brat? I think it did. Yeah. I think it did. I think it did. So no one has really been voted down yet. Now hopefully I can keep my winning streak going here with my second jam. Now, I don't know about you guys, but whenever I have an opportunity

to play one of my favorite songs of all time, I like to take advantage. So I saw the opportunity. I took it. This is Songs for the Deaf is the album. This took it. I, uh, this, this is songs for the death is the album. This is no one knows by Queens of the stone age, still one of my favorite albums of all time. And I adore it. And you're probably aware of who the cameo is, but in case somebody listening doesn't know on drums for this album is, uh, Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters and Nirvana fame.

Probably the most successful musician to ever be never a press fan, or not like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are using his name. I'm saying this is a guy that is in two of the biggest bands of all time. I can't think of a more successful musician than Dave Grohl when when it comes to that maybe you can make an argument for paul mccartney but wings didn't have the impact that boot fighters had and he was the front man in beatles uh we'll share it but uh co-front man if you will whereas dave was behind the drums like i guess you're you know phil collins had a great solo career but that's not another band so yeah i don't think you can name a more successful artist

in terms of being... Chris Cornell and Tom Morello both were in two bands, if you count Audioslave. You can count that. There's a few others. One of my choices will actually be someone who fits this description. Again, more on that soon.

Velvet Revolver, don't forget, was pretty damn good for a couple of years. No, yeah, you know. Actually, I'm not going to say that. I was going to make a CanCon joke, but I feel like these might actually be people we talk to. Oh, come on. Now we have to. Like, who's listening?

No, no, no, no, no, no. I was going to say Edwin was in the band crash karma in addition to I mother earth right it's a good song yeah I think it's a great song and I loved it always but it was also like a used in a I played a lot of I can't remember what year was like NHL hockey night I don't know what it was I came out what it was but on the pc i'd play hockey and this was the song that would kind of introduce the video game and i heard it a lot there too so dare i say that this is a timeless type of song because i think it still holds up

and if it was released today would still probably get praised it's a pretty awesome song like 2000 2002 2002 okay still sounds good 18 years later. And this guy, I mean, Josh Homme is such an artist. And to have Dave Grohl on drums, like, just, you know, I just think it's a great recipe and it's a great album. The whole album's good. It's a playthrough. But this is like one of the big hits, if you will.

And it's, yeah, solid. I'm hearing it in the headphones again for the 4,000th time and I still love it. Cameo by Dave Grohl. Do you guys want to tear me down now? It's your opportunity here before it plays out. No, this is a good one, man. Finally. Way better than your first.

Well, let's go to the judges. Let's not make any assumptions. You guys thought I was going to get voted down last time and two out of three gave you thumbs up. So I'm going to the judges. Thumbs up or thumbs down? No one. Okay, thank you. VP of sales, you can keep your job.

Leave a fumka. You can stay on the Zoom. Both thumbs up. And thumbs up from me in service. I'm back, baby. Thank you all very much. So I'm going to go right into Cam Gordon's third jam at the conclusion of this jam. Bonifacio Echeverría Cervantes de la Cruz Arroyo Rojas Esta es la radio que sacó a toda la estación Donde el rock vive y no muere

Vamos a escuchar un par de temas de Queens of the Stone Age Primero vamos a escuchar First at Gibbeth Que música impresionante, temible Y verdaderamente ahora, van a ver A ver, a ver, aquí va, aquí va guitar solo Sleep on and dream of her Because it's the closest you will get Is this Morrissey? It is?

Yes, indeed. Poor twisted child Subtly, subtly Oh, twisted child, so ugly, so ugly. Oh, twisted child, oh, ugly, oh, ugly. One November spawned a monster in the shape of this child, who later cried. But Jesus made me so, Jesus saved me. Okay, so this is Morrissey, the song November Spawn Monster. One of his, I guess a fairly early solo hit. We haven't heard the cameo yet. A bit of backstory. I was hoping to have at least one CanCon cameo or maybe a Canadian artist

and this is where it's going to slot in. So perhaps people don't know there was a bit of CanCon in the Morrissey catalog. Obviously he's not a Canadian artist himself. A Canadian is about to appear, materialize in this song. We'll just wait for it, although I'm having a bit of trouble hearing it, so Mike might have to give me a... when the backing vocals... I feel like we haven't talked about this Mr. Morrissey very much. Do you guys like... I know he's very polarizing.

A lot of people sort of can't stand his voice and stuff. I can take him or leave him. Meh. Yeah, I don't stand his voice and stuff. I can take him or leave him, like... Meh. Yeah, I don't know about Stu. How do you feel about Morrissey and Smith? I mean, he's not my favorite by any means, but I definitely respect the career that he has and the legions of fans that he has.

You know, Morrissey has... You know, there's a whole sort of cult of Morrissey, pun intended or not. He's a pretty big deal to a lot of people. Cam, is it after this break? There's a break now where it's come down and it will build up again in like 20 seconds. Is that where we hear it or did we miss it? Yeah, you're going to hear some, I mean, call it vocals might be not accurate.

You're going to hear a woman's voice kind of materialize, and this is... Okay, here, let me hear it. Yeah, here it is. Buffy St. Marie. No, that's a good guess. Buffy St. Marie no that's a good guess sounds a bit like Tanya Tegak to some degree but obviously well before her time

so this is actually Mary Margaret O'Hara who I think we've talked a little bit about on past episodes I guess perhaps most famous being Catherine O'Hara's sister Stu's just not impressed at all so I'll let him talk in a second.

Yeah, sort of a scatting, groaning, grumbling type of cameo here. She also had the one album, Miss America, an all-time Canadian classic, which I think is legitimately a great album. It came out two years before this track came out, but Morrissey actually brought her in to sing a little backing vocals on this song. So there you go, a little CanCon in the Morrissey catalog. And I think this is definitely a cameo.

Regardless of what you think of this song, I think this is sort of an appearance. I was going to say it's uncredited i mean it's in the liner notes and stuff um something interesting on her uh wikipedia page talk about cancelled uh there's there's a duet that mary margaret o'hara did on the song baby it's cold outside that she did with john gomeshi of all people so there's there's a cancelled song with a cancelled person wow they're married margaret o'hara collaborated on in 2009 i think that was just like an in-studio thing at the queue

uh they did before gian gomeshi ran into all his issues yeah i don't have like my uh thoughts are that absolutely this is a cameo but i'm uh even more if it's possible i'm even more underwhelmed than I was about the Bratz song. Like, when I hear that, oh, that's Mick Jagger on this popular song. Now, that's a huge name on a popular song, and I didn't know. Like, to me, that blows my mind. And then

this song, which I gotta admit, I'm not familiar with the song, nor would 95% of the listening audience be familiar with the person making the cameo on this song. That's pretty much Cam's lane. No, shut up. It's so not.

I'm the man who brought you Errol Starr, One Wide Load, all these great hits that we haven't heard from yesteryear. Hits and quotes. It's not about what have you done for me lately look i will say this he's not all about the obscure because he did just kick out a madonna song which is the least obscure thing you can do but uh i yeah so it's definitely a cameo and it was interesting to to hear it and uh i'd be okay if i never heard that song again but you know it's that's just me and my subjective choice. It's not about the song.

It's about whether it's a cameo. So Stu, you will admit that's a cameo. Can you still hear me? Can you still hear me? Yeah, but it changed. Like you don't sound as good as you did earlier in this episode.

We need you back, Stu. Really? Well, wait, so do I need to change something about my microphone? Now it sounds better. Cam,

does he sound the same as before? What happened there? Like technically. So I know. It seems like these are dying. Like they don't last very long. thing about my microphone now it sounds better uh cam does he sound the same as before what happened there like technically so i know it seems like these are dying like they don't last very long yeah oh sounds better now i think because they're bluetooth so they have to be charged yeah so it's kind of inconvenient there but uh yeah i think that's uh you know listen i guess technically that's a cameo uh it's a song that not too many people know. And then an artist that nobody listens. I brought Mick Jagger and Sting to the table. Cam brought Da Brat and.

I brought Dave Grohl and the great now accomplished actor, Andrew Dice Clay. Well, how about next time we'll talk about the rules of engagement. Like if we're just going to do the most popular artists of all time. I'd be happy to make this completely mainstream. Again, trying to mix it up a bit. Stu, we have a word from Ian Service about your AirPods. Wait, does it matter which side? Is there a microphone on

either side? Because I just took this one out and you said I sounded different. Yeah, you did sound different. You don't sound as good right now. Keep talking. How about now? Check, check, check. Now we're back to normal? Yeah, I think you're normal now.

As normal as you get. Okay, four hours apparently is what Ian says you get out of the charge. Four hours. So then maybe I should just use this side? Well, just don't... Which one's running low on power? This one. It'll make a bottle cap noise on you.

Yeah, it did. Yeah on power? This one. It'll make a bottle cap noise on you. Yeah, it did. Yeah. So, charge up one, and then you can use the other, and then switch back and forth. So, there's a microphone now on this side, and you can hear me nicely. Yeah, you sound good. Can you still hear me? Can you hear me? What am I saying?

But, Stu, how come you... Sam, what am I saying? Why does he... Sam's last choice was terrible. Stu Stone. Sam's last choice was terrible. We all hear you. That's a cameo.

Stu, Stu, did you hear how Ian sounded? We're in the 15th week of this Pandemic Friday thing, and did you hear how good Ian sounded? He's got a real mic. It's probably connected via USB. Is that what it is, or you got a mixer in play there? No, you got a mixer. I got a full mixer set up.

I can turn things up, add music. I'm on Serb. That was the GoFundMe campaign to get a proper mic. We should start that. There you go. Why don't you get a campaign going? Okay.

Well, we should move on before we lose his AirPods completely. Okay. So a vote for, that is for the Morrissey song. What's it called? November Rain. What's the name of the Morrissey song. Uh, what's it called? November rain. What's the name of the Morrissey song?

Yeah, that, that was November rain by, uh, guns and Morrissey. Oh, we could have done the, I was going to say November rain.

We could have done. Cause, uh, I think the guy from blind melon. Yeah, but, uh, yes,

but not November rain. He's in don't cry. Don't you cry. But yeah, Shannon Hoon is his name. Shannon Hoon has a cameo in, that would have been a great selection, in Don't Cry.

Who opened for Lenny Kravitz in the Maple Leaf Gardens. That is true. I drag my toes across the floor. Okay, so judges. Morrissey, is that a cameo? With the warbling from the artist? Nobody knows.

Okay. Tyler says yes. Levy looks like she's unsure, but it is up. And Ian's got it up, but he's got the other hand saying, why is my thumb up? It shouldn't be up, but where else is it going to go? I think this is just general. I'll say this. It's general indifference to that track.

And I'll just say this might not bode well for my final two choices but okay we'll see what happens so here's the third jam from stew stone go big or go home stew says nothing but the hits don't wish it away don't look at it like it's forever Between you and me I have some room to talk before the cameo comes in. Okay, go ahead. So this is Elton John. Guess that's why they call it the blues.

I just had to sneeze there. This is an interesting song. This was, you know, Elton was another one of these 70s stars that had an 80s run. And this is sort of the song that sort of set it off for him. The first single on his comeback in the 80s, followed up by I'm Still Standing, which was a big hit as well. And the theme song to City Line with Deanie Petty. Yes. I guess that's why they call it the blues.

It's a great song. Fun for all ages. You typically think of this as sort of an Elton John, like piano kind of standard, and you would be correct. This is Rolling Stone magazine called this song an instant timeless standard when the song was released, and I think they're right.

I think, you know, if you watch any of those sort of awful singing competition shows, you'll probably hear this song pop up here and there whenever they're doing sort of those sort of standards. Canadian, this went to number one in Canada. Did not go to number one in America, but it went to number one in Canada. Did not go to number one in America, but it went to number one in Canada. Went to number four, I believe, in America. But number one,

interestingly enough, this song was the most successful hit for Elton John of the 80s, coming in at number two for four weeks on the adult contemporary chart, number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, but Alessia Cara Canadian Alessia Cara

covered the song in 2018 a track I've never heard, but knowing her, it might be great have we got another cameo in the song yet? can you still hear me? I can hear you, but I don't know where the still hear me? I can hear you. But I don't know where the cameo is.

I can't remember. Okay, it's going to come after this. Let's just listen. You can tell me who the cameo is, guys. I'm on my hands To be time spent with you

Loving like children Living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers. And I guess that's why they call it the blues. It's Stevie Wonder. Here it is. It is definitely Stevie Wonder. Here it is. It is definitely Stevie Wonder. See, that's a cameo. That's a goddamn cameo.

Stevie Wonder on harmonica, obviously. Is that what that is? Yeah, that's a harmonica. And that is a signature Stevie Wonder harmonica riff. So there you go. Stevie Wonder playing the harmonica on this song. And I bet you he didn't know that, some of you, before right now. So that's pretty cool. It's quite obvious when you know, you hear, you're like, oh, yeah, of course that's Stevie Wonder.

And Stevie Wonder has a huge long list of, of course, that was Stevie Wonder appearances on many songs over his illustrious career. Not just on the harmonica, he's played percussions, he's played drums, he's played bongos, he has guest vocal, he has guest synthesizer keys, he has done it all. Almost the most prolific guest star in the history of music, almost! But my next selection in the next round is actually the king of cameos, but we'll get to that next. But yes, Stevie Wonder, what do you think, folks? Stevie Wonder, and I guess that's what they call it. I think that's pretty good.

I think that's it. I like we're hearing, we're listening to a lot of songs we've heard a million times, with the exception of my choices this week. And learning that, you know, deep in the mix on some of these songs and sometimes not even that deep in the mix there's some voices and some contributions from famous people that we had no idea so i i think this is a great choice great choice uh i'm gonna echo those sentiments uh that's a great example of a cameo in a song that is Stevie Wonder on harmonica and yeah, big hit, we've heard a million times

but maybe from now on people will hear it a little bit differently thanks to you, Stu Stone so, great second you're welcome, go to garbageday.com forward slash Stu and sign up for my new affiliate program don't confuse the people, slash Toronto Mike

now, Cam, last jam you said you wanted to get a little Canadian representation there with the warbling and the Morrissey jam. I just want to let people know I will be kicking out some CanCon today. So you will hear some CanCon. Wait, can we first at least let me get my nine thumbs? Okay. What do the judges say about the Elton John? I guess that's why they

call it the blues thumbs up from the vp of sales thumbs up that's you only need to do one thumb okay leave a funk the two thumbs is a little pretentious one thumb from leave a funk and ian service also of a thumb great choice so that's if you're for those keeping score at home, Cambrio, that is three rounds, nine thumbs. Yeah, this is like when Usain Bolt had the nine golds until he lost one relay gold because they tested somebody positive for steroids. So we

could take away a thumb later. You never know. Small footnote to Stu's selection. Adam footnote. I originally had the Alessia Cara cover of this song on a past episode when we did Canadian covers of non-Canadian songs. Oh, so then it was almost made to cut. That's a fun fact.

Okay, here we go. Thank you. Hey, make some man take things over Tell people what they can listen for. It's the second fame. So that first fame is David Bowie, but the second fame. Fame. Fame. The brain is just the flame. The potential to keep you alive. Fame. Cam Stu this is of course a classic

song by David Bowie, Fame do you want to guess who's making a cameo on this jam that he also helped co-write with David Bowie. I think this is generally known who it is. Am I wrong?

Yeah, yeah. It's not a, yeah, I think it's generally known who it is. Do you want to name the person? I'm going to let Stu guess. I don't know. Stu's not sure. John Lennon, is it not? Oh, yeah, I did know that.

I did know that. That's one of those things, you know it and then you forget you know it. Yeah, I did know that. I did know that. So, big hit, big cameo because, you know. I didn't realize that John Lennon co-wrote the song. Yeah, they had a moment together, these

two young artists. David Bowie's got to be one of those rare artists that's collaborated with both Mick Jagger and the Beatles. Like a Rolling Stones and the Beatles kind of collab. When did the song come out? 1975. David Bowie and Mick Jagger.

This is on Young Americans. So, 75. when did the song come out 1975 this is on Young Americans so 75 and going to the old wiki here and yeah by the way hearing it now in the headphones with you guys it's funkier than I remember like it's funky as all hell this jam

good job anyway yeah so Bowie and Lennon's dissatisfaction with the troubles of fame and stardom, including money grabbing managers, mindless adulation, unwanted entourages, and the hollow faculty of the

limousine lifestyle. Sounds like Toronto Mike's you can relate, I'm sure. With all good people you you come down to it. Right, no limos allowed here. Lennon's voice is heard, the falsetto fame throughout. So, yeah, this is a big name. Right up there with a previous big name cameo like Mick Jagger.

In fact, we've had some, excluding a couple of Cam's choices, big names, right? We got Elton John. We got Dave Grohl. We got John Lennon. And bigger names to come, actually, or just as big, anyway. So, as it concludes, do you both concur this is a good example of a cameo? Yeah, I think so.

Let's know more. Tim, can you please check your messages? God damn it. If you called him by his Christian name. So, Ian, you can do the tech support for Stu he's got a question about does he need to keep the cover the case open does he need to keep the case open Ian I'm going to unmute now

no no you keep it closed it's good and it's just going to charge while it's closed yeah well if you open it up the light should be orange or amber. Amber is the color of our energy. Thumbs up to Tim and thumbs up to Toronto Mike. Okay.

Judges, so we can move on here. I know that Cam has real work to do. Thumb up from Tyler. Sorry, VP of sales. I'm sorry. I'll edit that out later. Do the other judges want to give a thumb up or a thumb down? Okay, leave a thumb up.

And thank you, Ian, not Tim gives it a thumb up. So thank you. We're all, I just want to say after three jams, all of us are three for three. Nobody has been voted down by the judges. So let's kick out the fourth jam. And I think Cam alluded to this earlier when we were talking about

artists like Dave Grohl to have success in two bands. Here's Cam Gordon's 4th Jam. Outro Music So this is Gorillaz. The track is Stylo from their third album, Plastic Beach, came out in the summer of 2010. That voice you heard rapping was Moss Def. But that's actually not really the cameo I thought of when... You say Moss Def? Yeah.

That's how you pronounce it? Yeah, it's Moss Def, like most definitely. Yeah, Moss Def, sure. This is like... Jodakai. This is Jodakai. Yeah, Moss Def. Moss, is that how you've been saying it your whole life?

That's like a Star Wars character. That's a Star Wars character. Moss Def. It's Moss Def. Come on, Cam. There should be an umlaut on it. Oh, like Motley Crue? Okay, go ahead.

Sure, sure. Moss Def? Sure, sure. Most dare. Here comes the second kid. If I may, Cam, this is Bobby Womack, right? That's right, yeah. Cameo, though? Isn't he a featured artist on this song? I remember it as being the Gorillaz featuring Bobby Womack. Am I wrong?

I think Mos Def might get you the thumbs up. I'd argue Mos Def is featured more prominently than Bobby Womack. It's certainly, again, cameos and collabs. That's sort of Gorillaz' entire career, I think, is a lot of cameos. By the way,

do you guys like Gorillaz? There's a pretty big Blur fan back in the day. Gorillaz sort of never did much to me, although I love this song. I always liked Gorillaz stuff, yeah. I think that with Cam's selection, I don't have to worry at all about this episode and not getting the Moss thumbs up from the judges. But Tim, if you could

check your message. Thank you. By the way, I think that's why Ian is on these Zoom calls. We do need a technical producer of these shows. Okay, so I'm going to say... Here's a question. Do you guys know this song? Was this a hit?

I think it was a hit. I think it was a hit, yeah. Yeah, okay. And it also caused people like myself to dive into the Bobby Womack because I actually like Gorillaz very much and I really like this jam. And it caused me to go back

and listen to some of the great work because he's sort of... I mean, I would say for sure, I think he's passed away, right? But he was underappreciated. Like, he was one of those artists who deserved to be a bigger name, I think, and sort of flew under

the radar. Yeah, I think this sort of reintroduced him. He feels like he was almost sort of in a almost like a second tier of R&B stars of the 70s and 80s. Bobby Womack? Yeah. Like, he was a pretty big deal. He just sort of wasn't at the level of

certain other artists. I remember at the beginning of the classic song by Ahmad, like back in the day, I'm not a kid anymore, but someday they go, put on that Bobby Womack at the beginning of the song. I don't know if that might be a real deep cut, but I'm sure there's some hip-hop fan listening that's giving a thumbs up.

No, that's not that deep a cut. Sort of around. But, like, what were, like, give us the name, give us a, like, give us a Bobby Womack jam that people might know from... That's, like, that's a great question. That's what

usually, like, usually these artists that become household names are such because they're on, like, because they're on the radio. And I'm just looking now because he's kind of critical. Wow, Bobby Womack apparently stole Sam Cooke's wife. It all comes full circle. I was going to say a change is going to come. Yeah, he did a lot of cover songs.

I mean, he had a lot of cover songs that charted including sweet caroline uh he did a cover of california dreaming fly me to the moon i left my heart in san francisco he was a crooner yeah hey i think that's i think that's fair um and he actually amazingly like he passed away about four years after this album came out. He actually toured with Gorillaz on this where Most Deaf did not. And they actually brought in Booty Brown to do the Most Deaf parts on the song Live. Booty Brown, of course, of The Far Side. The, what was I? Oh, yeah.

So, you know how Tarantino would take that old washed up actor and give them new life and then a second career? I do it with broadcasters of TMDS. That's what we do as well. And that's what the Gorillaz did here. They gave Bobby Womack a new research job. I feel like they had Dennis Hopper on one of their albums. That could have been a cameo in the spirit of... I guess Bobby Womack's most famous song, I found it, I think. It's, And if you think you're lonely now, wait until tonight.

Do you guys know that one? That must have been big in LA, I think. During your LA... Big hit. Big hit. Earlier, Stu, when you were talking about the Dire Straits jam and you talked about how you mentioned MTV,

like you said, Oh, it was banned from MTV, but that's not your LA. Like that's way before you were a Thornhill guy. I had a satellite dish. Cause you do a lot of MTV references. And I always think,

Oh, interesting. Like I would never know what was banned from MTV. I have been glued to mtv from day one i was glued to it so why much music that picked up the american stations i would say it was a real treat to hang out at stew's house but cam gordon watch espn right mtv all of it interesting this is all foreign to me oh totally foreign to me nickelodeon cam you remember uh because you were watching much music like myself,

and I know others will remember, the Too Much for Much specials they'd air late at night. Sure. And I distinctly remembered one night they promoted, they played Justify My Love. I think it might have been at 11 p.m. or something like that. But they played it on Too Much for Much. And they played also, the other one I remember, real quick,

because before we move on, is the Mitsu song, Dimo de moi i hope i don't screw it up it's french but where she's naked on a chair strategically placed chair uh it's it's tattooed in my cranium i can never forget this but uh shout out to steve anthony let's go to the judges. Or like the strategically placed chair Tim's sitting on right now. Tim and Lieve Fumke and the VPSLs. What do you say? Thumbs up or thumbs down to the Gorillas? And again, you can only submit one. Which cameo are you submitting for them to vote

on? The Moss Deaf or the Bobby Womack? Bobby Womack. Okay, before they vote, I feel that you might be in a bit of trouble here, Cam, because I think that he was the featured artist on the jam, which is not a cameo. So I'm interested to hear how the judges vote on this one. Let's look to the screen.

Who wants to go first? Okay, thumbs up from the VP of Sales. No thumb at all from... Thumb down from Levi Fumka! Just gave Cam Gordon a thumb... No, yeah, Cam Gordon is going to say... I don't want to give credit to the wrong person. Ian's going to break the tie.

Oh, it's up. He's giving you a thumbs up. So far, I got so excited that we might have our first denial. But Ian saved the day. He's been doing a lot of thumbs up. Okay, let's kick out the fourth jam from Stu... I guess Ian is the Paula Abdul of the... Of the day. He's been doing a lot of thumbs up. Okay, let's kick out the fourth jam from Stu. I guess Ian is the Paula Abdul of the

trio. Right. He's a choreographer. Now here's a jam I kicked out on my very first Toronto Mike appearance. This is the second jam. Is that allowed? Hades Dweller won't like that.

It's a great song, so screw him. There have been times in my life I've been wondering why Still somehow I believe We can always survive Now I'm not so sure We'd always survive Now i'm not so sure You're waiting to hear

One good reason to try But one more can I say was left to provide Here it comes baby here it comes, baby. Here it comes. You think that maybe it's over Only if you want it to be Are you gonna wait for it's sad? Your miracle Stand up and fight This is it Make no mistake Well, this is Kenny Loggins. This is it.

Make no mistake. Well, this is Kenny Loggins. This is it. Great song. Great song. Great, great song. Interestingly enough, before I get to the cameo, this is kind of a somber kind of note, but if you think that this is a love song you

would be mistaken uh upon doing my research uh while he was writing the song he had uh visited his ailing father who uh was sort of on his deathbed and uh you know conversations with his father led to like this this is it you know this so it's sort of a song of that's you think is a happy song it's actually about like a dying father so that's interesting but you know now let's get to the cameo the king of the cameo the man that is number one in our hearts the great Michael McDonald who is you know the king of cameos you love him you love him you know if stevie wonder was on a lot of tracks uh double the stats for michael mcdonald who has provided

keys background vocals accompaniments uh anything you can think of some notable michael mcdonald cameos uh ride like the Wind, Christopher Cross, Yamo B, James Ingram, where he actually got a full verse in there, Steely Dan Pegg, which is one of the best songs. You know, he's all over the place. So I'm going to say Michael McDonald cameoing on Kenny Loggins. This is it, of course.

Kenny Loggins went on to be the soundtrack king of the 80s with Footloose and Caddyshack and Top Gun. And I believe Over the Top, where Michael McDonald joined him again. But Kenny Loggins' best song, in my opinion, other than maybe What a Fool Believes, which he co-wrote, which ended up being a Doobie Brothers hit with Michael McDonald. But Kenny Loggins' best song to me is this one right here. It's such a great song. wrote which ended up being a doobie brothers hit uh with michael mcdonald but uh kenny logan's best song to me is this one right here it's such a great song we we talked about at this point 15

episodes in uh we have our lanes you're right we have our like we stay in our lanes typically uh sometimes we'll venture off but only if we're not paying attention but your lane i want to say stewstone your lane i think is yacht rock right like you're the yacht rock i think that i've become that in my you know as i've gotten older i've gotten to appreciate 1979 to 1983 as if it were the golden era of forgotten jams uh you know these are songs i would have never paid any attention to as a youngster and now that i'm a mature adult much like my contemporaries in the toronto mic universe uh I can go back and listen to many yacht rock songs

and just marvel at how great the musicianship is in a lot of them. Before we get back to Kenny Loggins, which, by the way, that is a great example of a cameo,

and we'll do our votes in a moment, but the VP of sales reminds me of a Bobby Womack jam we all recognize from movies, okay? Like, listen to this song and name that

and tell me... Yeah, I know this song. We'll let it kick into the... Who's that lady? This is Bobby Womack, 110 across 110th Street. Of course. So I would argue that for us anyway, our generation,

that this is the most recognizable Bobby Womack jam across 110th Street. I wanted to let him get to the... Wait, wait, you don't know if you don't know. Oh, no, if you think you're lonely now, wait until tonight. It was even covered in the 90s by some R&B singer that... I have an R&B... I have a little bit of an R&B blind spot in...

Oh, this part here. Okay, so let's get back to Kenny Loggins now because that's the topic of the moment. Great. I think it's a great example of a cameo. We'll skip Cam's feedback right now because he's unavailable at the moment. But let's look to the judges now.

What do you say about the Michael McDonald cameo in the Kenny Loggins jam? Thumbs up from VP of Sales. Thumbs up from Ian Service. And wait a minute. That's not a thumb. That's a hand. How could that not be a thumbs up? Michael McDonald's singing on a song. It's a cameo. Put it down, Leve.

Put it down. That's what you want to do. Let's see. It's down. It's down. Wow. That is bullshit. It is down. How could you possibly give it a thumbs down? Like how? That makes no sense. Whoa. It is down. Holy shit. Wait, like how? Wow.

Wow. Wow. I get it. It does not make sense. Can I justify myself? Please. Please. Yeah, just justify your life.

I was going to say that. If I gave Cam a thumbs down on the last song because I didn't recognize it, that's how why I gave you. You don't know if it's a collaboration or anything. No, I don't care. No, sorry. She's the judge.

Don't argue with the referee there. Don't argue. The corruption. It's all tied up. Do you realize that? It's completely tied up. Do you realize that? Absolutely unbelievable. It's completely tied up. That is ridiculous.

That is the biggest conspiracy of justice. I don't even know why I'm saying this because this works in my favor, but this sort of feels like how no major league baseball player will ever get 100% votes for the Hall of Fame because someone will just say, I don't want Derek Jeter to get 99.5. There's one dissident. And I want to make sure that I'm not totally biased towards

Stu. This is a miscarriage of justice, no matter which way you slice it. That is a perfect example of a cameo. I even named the guy the king of fucking cameos. You know what? Levi needs to change her name from I'm with Stu to I'm against Stu. I'm not with Stu.

You can choose your favorite. That is bullshit, man. That is complete bullshit. Because I'm worried about the clock and I'm worried about Cam. So we are going to kick out my fourth jam now. But I will say that was exciting. It felt like we finally had live sports. I know that there's some golf and NASCAR going around,

but I don't watch golf for NASCAR. So I don't know. I don't, you know, listen, that's, it's like a UFC fight where the judges are a little crooked. This is boxing.

This stinks like boxing. All right. Can con time. My fourth jam includes canCon. I guess leading fan just heard of this song. Better get a thumbs down. Let it get to the chorus. You'll know this song.

It's fresh. Okay, listen closely. There's the cameo. Time stands still It's for the people and the places that surround me now Time stands still By CanConGiantsRush And you heard a woman's voice in the mix there Whose voice was that? Can I get?

Can I say who it is? You can say who it is that is it's amy man right that is amy man yes and uh amy man you might know her from voices carry which was the till tuesday jam that was heavy much music rotation big hit voices carry but i uh i think i loved her most uh from the magnolia soundtrack love that movie she's she's had a great career like really has sort of reinvented her because now she's kind of into like comedy and stuff like I feel like she's on podcasts a lot like she's I don't know she's she's she's had a really good run yeah and she and she is the, yeah, a rare female voice on a Rush jam. Like, quickly, name another one.

Good luck with that. I don't know. I actually was, I only thought of this after the fact, and I kind of got busy with work this week, so I didn't have time to swap it. I was contemplating the rapping skeleton in Rush Roll the Bones as the cameo. Yeah. If you remember that.

I used to know that rap. I used to know that rap from the music video. Yeah. Like a sort of legendary... I had on a bike ride the other day, I was thinking of topics.

I like to think of topics sometimes when I'm out there. And I was thinking raps by people who shouldn't be rapping. Like raps... But yeah, basically like don't stop raps by people who shouldn't be rapping like in a like raps but yeah basically like don't stop raps stop rapping raps i don't know what you want to give it a fancy title but that was one of the key examples was roll the bones yeah that that was like a total like

what the fuck is this like rapping skeleton like fuck right okay so i guess it was kind of cool i don't know yeah uh i mean at the time i actually enjoyed it and then as i then i look back and i say oh that was kind of cringy and awkward but i did but it's almost like rush by nature like it's it's almost like at this point they could do anything it's sort of just i don't know if it was a different band maybe you know they would i don't know it almost seems fitting for rush because they're just they made some odd choices over the years but does neil young ever wrap this up i want to know okay so uh time by the way this is 1987 and uh now i need to does anybody want to you know shit on my selection or should we go straight to the judges do you want This is 1987, and now I need to...

Does anybody want to, you know, shit on my selection, or should we go straight to the judges? Do you want to say anything, Stu? You know, I'm playing this round under protest. I've been gutted. I've been gutted. I mean, I picked a world-renowned smash hit song that for some...

I don't know how she's never heard that. Well, she's very young. She doesn't remember 70s music don't know how she's never heard that well she's very young she doesn't remember 70s music come on you've never been to a dentist's office before i don't understand like they play that song all the time at the supermarket i i don't understand how i had a song with a legendary cameo in it that got a thumbs down and you have i just don't get it i i'm just playing i have this. There's an asterisk. I want an appeal. I want a new judge.

Well, you're going to have to get over that. Amy Mann cameo on a Rush hit, Time Stands Still. Thumbs down on everything. You don't get a vote. I'm going to the judges. I'm going to the judges. Thumbs up from the VP of sales. Thumbs up from the vp of sales thumbs up from ian service she's looking into the camera and here it is now she gives a thumbs up right here i will freak okay okay yeah

okay now now i'm with stew i wasn't with stew till right now leave is just out of control with drunk with power like yeah how is this how are these not cameos leave it all because you don't know your criteria is i'm with you now stew your criteria is i don't know that song therefore it's not a cameo yeah that's that doesn't make sense at all i have a perfect score that's stupid that's stupid leave it you're not stupid but that's stupid okay we're gonna move on because i'm as angry as a subject one day called cam con. And it's like songs that cam might like the,

but I never heard of those songs. I'd have to. Yeah. Okay. So this is the final jam selection from the aforementioned cam. You know, I'm just going to hurt you. You know,

I'm only going to break your heart, right? You want to bet? Bring it on. See? This is for leaving. Now listen. Stop it. It's a big hit, though. Not an obscure jam this time.

Huge hit. Very, very mainstream. Great song, too. Kiss 92.5. I played it until it burned out the mp3 file I think. Okay. Do you want me to keep going? Okay I'll keep going. No we can talk about it. So yeah this is

Break Your Heart by oh my god by Teo Cruz. He's the dynamite guy. He's from England. I remember he did that opening ceremony at the London Olympics. That's right. So he burst on the scene with this track in 2009.

I feel like this is one of those songs that, again, doesn't get played much these days. And this song was everywhere. This was a massive smash back in 2009. Stu, are you still under protest? No, I'm under protest. Stu, we all got screwed equally. As soon as he played this song,

Leva Fank is like dancing in her chair, going crazy, like she's at some bachelorette party or something. I'll tell you what. Well, you know why? Because she really enjoyed the cameo by Ludacris. I'd say sort of the Michael of the the 2000s in terms of the king of the cameo uh you know that's pitbull that's pitbull pitbull is a michael mcdonald of

the modern era and that's lee defunka's favorite artist too but please oh my god is that really a favorite artist did you were you at like the wealthalth Management Expo where Pitbull appeared with A-Rod and Tony Robbins? Oh, yeah. She was a moderator, I think. Okay. Was Ludacris a cameo? I can't remember.

I know it was a big hit, but I guess... There's multiple versions of this song. They threw Ludacris on here, I believe, to make it more palatable to the North American market. So this song was actually originally written for someone who I think was only

popular in the UK, primarily. Cheryl Cole? Not Cheryl Crow. And not Paula Cole. Not Paula Cole. It's like, where have all the cowboys gone? Yeah, so this was... I feel like there's been a few songs like this over the years where they're popular overseas

and then they they want to break it in north america but they need to almost americanize it a bit so like add some sugar yeah had some localized flavoring or sugar or something like what better way to do that in 2009 now here's why I don't think this is a good example. I think this is a bad example because he shouts himself out in his verse. To me, with that Mick Jagger example or the John Lennon...

Every example that Stu has provided, go ahead and say that. It's more like the seasoning is a little more subtle, if you will. Sting, for example, in the Dire Straits song whereas this was like he says his name like in his verse right off the

top like Luda here whatever I can't remember the verse like he's yes but because he's because he's making sure you don't have to wonder who's doing that verse like who's that like no he's like I'm Ludacrous hello to me that takes away the whole cameo vibe but i'm just one man cameo is a cameo i think this is a cameo i

mean our judges will tell us okay stew what do you think before we go to the judges all right i mean listen go ahead it's not a piece of shit song. It's a quality pop single. Although Dynamite's better. It's a great summertime jam. It's almost Canada Day. Come on. Happy Canada Day. Needs more pitbull.

Okay. Judges. VP of sales. It's a weak... Did you see his facial expression? He didn't want to put his thumb up. It's a weak thumb up by the VP of sales. It was an erect, turgid thumb.

You could tell. He was like, this is up because I can't. Tayo Cruz. Tayo Cruz. A thumb up by Ian. Okay. And leave a, okay, thumbs up. Okay.

So Cam scores on that one. He went mainstream and he got what he wanted. See, that's why people sell out. That's why people sell out. You could do that Morrissey song and get screwed over for it. No, you's why people sell out. That's why people sell out. You can do that Morrissey song and get screwed over for it. No, you know, fuck that.

This show is nonsense. It's gone off the rails now. It took us 15 weeks, but the episode has literally gone off. It's jumped the shark. It is off the rails. This is a disaster of an episode. Before you start this,

hold on, hold on, hold on. I just got to preference something. Okay. You know, regretfully, my next one is going to be an instrumentation cameo. And I want to point out it's going to be a guitar instrumentation cameo. And I want to point out that I could have easily won the game if I had known that I was going to be scrutinized and I had to pick songs that Levi Famke knows.

Billie Jean. So I could have gone Beat It by Michael Jackson and had Eddie Van Halen with his guitar solo. Which you may or may not know. I knew that. And Black or White has Slash.

We could do Black or White Slash. We could have done that. But I decided to go with one of the greatest, if not the greatest bands, depending on who you ask. You know, I have some people go, I had Mick Jagger appear earlier.

So this is going to be a Beatles track. And you're going to have to tell me what the cameo is after listening to this. Now, I'm going to play it now, except I want to tell everyone this was my sixth selection because I'm well aware of the cameo. And here it is. So you won't. because I'm well aware of the cameo. And here it is.

Here's a song that Levert Bamka has heard of, I hope. Look back to the world, see the lovebird that's sleeping On my guitar, can't be released I look at the fall and I see in this swimming Still my guitar gently reaps I don't know how All right, I'll get to it. But you've got While My Guitar Gently Reaps by The Beatles. Some fun facts about the song.

This was written and sung by George Harrison. He's one of those George Harrison gems of The Beatles. And he wrote this song after coming back from a meditation in India where he came back and sort of realized there was sort of friction in the band. And the song is sort of about that friction within the group. But the cameo, if you're wondering, that excellent guitar playing that you hear is Eric Clapton.

Eric Clapton is playing the legendary guitar riff that you hear in this song. While my guitar gently weaves in, the story sort of goes that they were taking a train ride together. Harrison asked Clapton to play guitar on the track, and Clapton felt like Lennon and McCartney were holding back Harrison's talent. And he initially, though, said he didn't want to play on the track because he said, quote, I can't do that. Nobody ever plays on Beatles records.

That's my impression of Eric Clapton. Harrison convinced him and Clapton's lead guitar part played on top of Harrison's guitar part. So it's actually both of them playing with a success. And George Harrison apparently listened to this song like 100 times in a row in the control room after they recorded it. He loved it so much. And yes, this qualifies. I don't even care what the judges say.

Eric Clapton playing guitar on a Beatles song. It might be the only time an outside artist that we, you know, that we know of played on a Beatles track. No, what's that guy? There's a guy who played a keyboard guy. VP of sales will come up,

but, but, but, but not as big as, yeah, Billy Preston. Sure. But I'm talking about,

you know, Eric Clapton is like a household name. Yes. It was my, yes. Uh, this is, I think,

uh, an absolutely perfect example of a cameo, like fits the theme perfectly. And it was, Oh yeah. Then he stole George's wife, much like Bobby Womack stole Sam Cooke's wife. Apparently.

Clapton pulled the same move on his buddy George Harrison. This was Jeff Healy band. Yes. Am I matching that? And if anyone here listens to Hebsey on sports this morning, we spent a great deal. Maybe it was on the Periscope feed though. I don't think it was on the episode.

Because we talked about Con Smythe being buried at Park Lawn Cemetery with Jeff Healy's buried there as well. And yeah. It's a gather. It's interesting. Since we've been blowing minds on my last pick each week before you go to the judges, I wouldn't mind if you would tee up a legendary performance of this song that took place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

that featured like a who's who of guitar players. You know, Tom Petty was on there as well, Steve Wynwood, Jeff Lynn, longtime Beatles collaborator Jeff Lynn, or Paul McCartney collaborator anyway. But, you know, Prince sort of went on stage with his guitar and sort of stole the show. And people that didn't sort of respect Prince

as a guitar player definitely respected the hell out of him after this thing so if you we don't end up listening to it on toronto i suggest you go to youtube and look it up uh it's a rock and roll hall of fame performance that has a who's who and prince sort of gets on stage with his guitar and just tells everybody to go to hell so i'm playing it, but do you remember how, and I've seen this, I saw it a lot after Prince passed away, but how deep into this cut does Prince shred? I think it sits at the end.

Okay, so I'll skip a bit ahead here. Hold on here. Interesting, because like Jeff Lynn's voice, I feel like he can do justice to Beatles songs. Hold on. Give me a second here. I'm like he can do justice to Beatles songs. Hold on.

Give me a second here. I'm screwing everything up. Okay, here. It goes on for like 11 minutes. This is the version you were just talking about? Like the Super Jam version? Yeah. It always seems like Jeff Lynn is sort of underwhelming, yeah,

when he gets together with all the rock stars, which is too bad because he was, you know, DLO is a pretty big deal in its own right, but I don't know. It's not really at like the Tom Petty level. Oh, I kind of been thinking too about... Petty level. Oh, I've kind of been thinking too about... Oh, I'm sorry, Stu.

Go ahead. I was going to say, if you're a Traveling Wilburys fan, you should be a Jeff Wynn fan. Yeah, for sure. Well, that's what I was thinking about. I was thinking about something we talked about briefly, but if we were to assemble our Canadian Traveling Wilburys.

The reboot. Say that. That's going to be... Okay, okay. Now, because of the time constraints, I'm going to Prince, who's kicking... Like, he's just shredding. He's kicking ass here. I'm going to fade him out, if you don't mind. Get to my final jam. Oh, first, we've got to

go to the judges. I'm sorry. I almost forgot this. Judges. George Harrison. Well, I almost called it... It's really the Beatles, first we got to go to the judges. I'm sorry. I almost forgot this. Uh, judges, George Harrison. Well, I almost called it. It's really the Beatles, I guess, but it's really George.

Uh, while my guitar gently, uh, we, we, Eric Clapton's cameo. Thumbs up from the VP of sales. Thumbs up for me in service. Thumbs up from Levi Fumka.

Great selection, Stu. I would have been, uh, very angry if anyone put thumbs down on that one. So here, stew i would have been uh very angry if anyone put thumbs down on that one so here is my final cameo jam this is uh

um yes This is Sonic Youth. Yes. So I'll talk while I wait for the cameo, but this is, of course, yeah, this is Sonic Youth. Cool thing. Cool with a K. I feel like we went to this concert.

So Kim Gordon here. I'm confused with Kim. So Kim Gordon here She's clearly talking about Lindsay Gordon Well Lindsay Clement now She's married to You remember her boyfriend Like same guy Former baseball star Pat Clement

Yep That's the one Kim Gordon is clearly Singing about LL Cool J. There are several references to LL jams. Ladies love Cool James. And she had done an interview for Spin with LL, like just before this was written.

So LL inspired this song. She's singing about LL Cool J, but the cameo is not by... I had no idea that that's what she was singing about. But the cameo is not by LL Cool J. The cameo is right here. Come here. Sit down beside me.

There's something I gotta ask you. I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me? I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls from male, white, corporate oppression? Tell it like it is. Huh?

Don't be shy. Word up Fear like a female Fear, fear, flat Fear, baby I just want you to know That we can still be friends Let everyone quite know

That's an FOTM, everybody That's an FOTM With the tremendous cameo and cool thing Tell it like it is I take it you guys know who that is but you want to tell us who Charles D Charles D

Chuck D with the great cameo and Sonic Youth's cool thing and I yeah I love this song love the cameo can I make three comments here? I feel like I bring this up every time Sonic Youth gets played here. Kim Gordon famously went to York University briefly.

And she wrote her autobiography, Girl in a Band. It's barely mentioned. She spent like a year in Toronto in the 70s and clearly didn't leave much of an impression because it's like two lines in that book. I almost chose another song from the same album, the album Goo. That's the Quasi title track, My Friend Goo. If anyone knows that, that has a cameo from Jay Maskis of Dinosaur Jr.

Who I hope to play someday on the show. Oh, he will. It depends how long the pandemic goes. I feel like this song influenced a song I was gonna choose, even though I don't really like it, that came out about a year later in terms of having a hip-hop cameo

and an alternative rock song, and that was REM Radio Song. Oh, KRS-One. KRS-One. Right. I feel like, I don't know if it was influenced by this, it just seems like, I don't know, like I think R.E.M. had an admiration for Sonic

Youth, and it seems, I don't know, I feel like that was maybe a copycat, because it's just given the proximity and even sort of the... Well, that was the rage right even outside of rap like even like a Shaba Ranks would do something with Maxi Priest right and

which by the way that's a great jam that's a great fucking jam okay right so before I play us out with some lowest of the low I want to be rich
