Starting point is 00:02:09 And Stu Stone. Welcome, guys. That you heard, right? Yes, we heard that one. Yeah, this is going to be the most controversial topic of all 60, how many? 62 episodes? This is the 61st. Oh, I was under the impression this was show 69 for some reason. I guess we dropped
Starting point is 00:02:32 the ball there. He's got the drumroll. So, Gene Valaitis from Jesse and Gene, F-O-T-M, Gene Valaitis, threatened to alert the authorities that we're talking about sex jams tonight. This is the sex show. alert the authorities that we're talking about sex jams tonight.
Starting point is 00:02:44 This is the sex show. This has to be like after midnight. It is Gina Rat. Gina Rat? It is Gene comma A Rat. I'm sorry. Maybe we're going to find
Starting point is 00:03:02 out. He's going to alert the authorities. I just want to, because most people will hear this and not see this, so I just want to shout out Cam Gordon's background on this Zoom right now. Cam, tell the good people, what's your background for this Sex Jams episode? Yeah, so I mean, you know, what better background for an episode about sex than a 75-year-old lady. No, that's, of course, Order of Canada member Sue Johansson, who I assume anybody who's actually listening to this episode, we don't need to describe who she is.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Canada's foremost sex expert. Mike, she seems like somebody... Sexpert. Sexpert, yes, of course. Of course. Mike, she seems like somebody you probably kick the tires on reaching out to oh yeah let's just say she's more than an fotm well more than a woman to me but i want to just say that i know you said 74 or 75 but you know you're way low on that right you know how well i was gonna say when this photo was oh okay right here i mean yeah she's like over 90 now now. Yeah, she's 90 on the nose.
Starting point is 00:04:05 And that would, so she's a, she would be the oldest Toronto Mic'd guest because Brian McFarlane was only 89. You say she's 90. I say she's a 10. Oh, we got this stew today. I like this stew. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:19 So shout out to Sue Johansson. But because Sue Johansson, she's connected to Degrassi because she played Sally in that infamous episode to Degrassi because she played Sally in that infamous episode of Degrassi. Who amongst you would like to share this fun fact that Andy, Andy Pandy, a great FOTM,
Starting point is 00:04:34 shows up at almost every event we have, every TMLX. What fun fact did Andy drop on us about schools out? Why don't you do the honors? Oh, may I? Okay, we learned there's a very small role. I don't think there's a speaking part here,
Starting point is 00:04:50 but one of the extras that you can see in the background of a scene of schools out, the Degrassi movie that we speak of often. In fact, we're going to do like a nine-hour deep dive into schools out at some point. Please don't invite me to that one. We should invite Andy to that one. What do you think? Andy would be a fine addition.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I feel like she'd bring all sorts of knowledge. I'm going to see if she'll do it because she loves Degrassi more than anyone on the planet. But this is a long-winded way of saying Sandra Oh, the great Canadian actress, Sandra Oh, appears in schools out. Yeah, well, we're going to be talking about
Starting point is 00:05:23 Ohs a bit later in this episode. Get your O face out. I mean, I will say this, and I tweeted this out, and this is sort of an inner monologue type thing, but that seems like something that would have been uncovered and would have been like a blog TO article like nine years ago. It's interesting stuff like that is still hanging out
Starting point is 00:05:44 in the culture and it's yet to really be popularized or aggregated, as it were. Well, every year or so, we should do the same tweet, sort of Alper style. We should just program it to like, fun facts, Sandra Oh is in school. I don't know if you guys saw this. And again, it sort of depends who you're following. But trending this week on Twitter was some exchange that was like quite well known at the time. But just resurfaced for whatever reason between Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson from, I want to say like 2002 or 2004.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I think those were during the crossfire. I remember this. Yeah, like I think Jon Stewart kind of destroyed him, but for whatever reason that just started surfacing on Twitter. Again, I'm not really sure why, but I see that all the time. So when I,
Starting point is 00:06:32 you know, we learned something like Sandra was in fucking schools out. Right. These two pop culture forces. And we never knew that. It's, it's almost like shocking that we, that this information is still hanging out there.
Starting point is 00:06:44 What else don't we know? Right. Right. Like when I found out Dalton Pompey's dad was the cowboy on a electric circus, like it takes a while to come down from that high. Like when you, I almost feel like I'm going to break into a Bush song.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I don't want to come back down from this cloud. Like finding out Sade is the name of the band. Right. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Is somebody maybe VP of sales, but as somebody like got a list of these mind blows that have been unearthed
Starting point is 00:07:09 just on this program alone. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's sort of the role that our friend, Rosie gray TO is hoping to put into the Wikipedia universe for eternity. By the way, did you,
Starting point is 00:07:24 did we see Dalton Pompey was in the news this week? He signed with, I want to say, the Angels, a minor league act. Not giving up the dream. Stu, do you own a Dalton Pompei baseball card? No, I don't, but
Starting point is 00:07:40 cheers to Dalton. Cheers to Dalton. His father, the electric circus man. Who's on my desk right now, right? He's right here. That's actually Dalton's dad is on this can right here. Speaking of cans, I'm just going to take this opportunity to grab the cold one.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Are you planning on drinking all four of those tall boys? Well, this one's got to be skunky by now. I don't think I should drink this guy. I think he's a good two years old. Oh, come on. Long weekend's coming up. Might let me start early oh i wonder what it would taste like after two years okay because you know the whole point of great lakes beer and what i love about it is it's fresh like look at these things are fresh and that makes it so i wouldn't know i mean it's been so long since uh hey you're basically drinking cam that's our beer that he's drinking
Starting point is 00:08:23 cam you realize well ironically it's been two years since we've received payment for what we're doing here. Every single week. 61 weeks and he's drinking our beer. He's eating our pasta. Assholes. He's taking our Ridley Funeral Home discount plots. What do you think of the new sign?
Starting point is 00:08:40 Do you see it? I'm pointing to it right now. Do you see it? A funeral. That's a Ridley Funeral Home. The thing they put on the cars when you're in a procession, a funeral procession. Yeah, a funeral for a friend. Brad dropped it off yesterday from
Starting point is 00:08:51 Ridley Funeral Home. So shout out to Ridley Funeral Home. You guys are assholes because just yesterday, listen to me, just yesterday, 102.1... Alright, wait a minute. You're saying we're assholes. Yeah. Am and I are assholes? Right. Got it. Got it. Hang up here. I'm Wait a minute. You're saying we're assholes. Yeah. Am and I are assholes? Right.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Right. Got it. Got it. Because yesterday. Hang up here. I'm going to leave. Yesterday, 102.1 Morning, The Edge Morning Show man, Jay Brody, was in my backyard along with Roddy Colmer.
Starting point is 00:09:19 And just an hour before their arrival, the Palma Pasta truck showed up with frozen lasagnas for the guests. I saw the photo. I saw the tree. Right. They got their Great Lakes beer. They got their Palma Pasta. They got their Toronto Mike stickers
Starting point is 00:09:39 from Sticker U. They got hand sanitizer from Ridley Funeral Home. The only thing I didn't get them was a new home in Mimico for Mimico Mike, but we took care of them. Isn't that a contest that we're going to be doing, the 100th caller? It could have been you guys. I'm saying the same deal could have been arranged for right
Starting point is 00:09:56 now. Why aren't you guys in my backyard right now? The offer wasn't extended and the lockdown had been extended, so it's a combination of the two. Media exemption. It's illegal for one thing. Speaking of backyard episodes, Kim,
Starting point is 00:10:09 did you, are you caught up or do you just heard the, you heard the Mark Weisblot? I heard the Mark Weisblot. I heard, and I heard probably 60% of miles Godwin. Good one. Good one.
Starting point is 00:10:23 God. Him too. But yes, that the, the 1236 marathon, I feel like it was even longer than normal. It was like the exact same length as the previous 1236 episode, like to the minute. Yeah, but fine, fine effort
Starting point is 00:10:38 from both you guys. Probably my favorite. And Mike, I think you mentioned this, your sort of sheer indignation at the posh spice suzanne rogers what was that from and that must have been like the social or like a genie becker city line or something city line yeah who's the host of city line do you remember her name tracy moore yes so that's tracy moore and the whole idea like the whole premise that that's a rogers owned station so literally
Starting point is 00:11:05 tracy's like talking to like her like the biggest boss there is this is the you know the family that owns rogers and this whole like posh and this the whole thing nauseated me and i really just like the like it ties into our theme a little bit today but very uh masturbatory masturbatory of like just that conversation. What were they even fucking talking about? Give me a break. I know, and I purposely left it on the cutting room floor, which I do with a lot
Starting point is 00:11:34 of Weisblot stuff, because I can't go four or five hours. I'm ready to go to the Ridley Funeral Home Memorial section, which I quite enjoy. Not that they died, but I like to remember the people who who lived and uh he picked it up off the cutting room floor and he shone a light on it and i had to play it and i had to anyway you heard it yeah i mean it was it was a big topic but and
Starting point is 00:11:55 also like i missed that lloyd price passed away so that that was actually a learning i did somehow missed that so well that's the whole idea to to educate you but i uh at the end of that miles goodwin episode i ask him the question which is did you get the call to appear on tears are not enough i ask it at the end and sure he answers it very honestly yeah and was he ever in consideration was he jealous uh he's got a good chip on his shoulder uh that the industry uh overlooks april wine and their contribution to music in this country and he's a still a bit ticked he never won an actual juno yeah it it is wild because i mean you alluded to this you think of all their singles i mean they're right i i do wonder they're live they're also their live show
Starting point is 00:12:43 one of the best live performances in the history of the Whiskey A Go-Go parking lot in Maple, Ontario. Really, a fantastic show, a fantastic performance. I'm not kidding. How dare you? No, I think you're being serious. How dare me? It was great. It was like there was a good atmosphere. There was hot dogs.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Families. Great. Plus, like, toddlers walking around. Okay, so, quickly, quick note here is that I talked with, I texted back and forth with Doodoo the Clown this week. Oh, snap. Seems very nice via text. He's agreed we have a date and a time for him to zoom into Toronto Mic'd.
Starting point is 00:13:21 In full regalia? Yes, he's going to have full makeup on. Wow, holy S. We should do a reenactment of when he saved that poor lady from the mugger. You better ask him about that. Well, I'm going to,
Starting point is 00:13:34 obviously before his appearance, which is in early June, so we have some time, I'm going to have all my research done and it's going to be awesome. Quick somber note before we lighten things up with our first sex jam.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I just want to, I think I speak on behalf of everyone that's here on the Pandemic Friday team, our sincere condolences to FOTM Bob Ouellette on the passing of his father last week. Bob was our special guest for the tribute to Shock G that we did a few weeks ago, and he suffered this great loss. So I just want to let, you know, FOTM Bob
Starting point is 00:14:08 will let know that we're thinking of him. Absolutely. And we're all a family here, you know, as much as we call each other assholes sometimes, you know, it's out of love. I don't think we ever called Bob an asshole though. No, he's a sweetheart. He's not an asshole.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Far from it. You know who else is not an asshole? I agree with everything that Mike and most of what Cam said except that asshole part. Bob, you're not an asshole. No. You're a great guy and obviously we send our love. Sex jams. I know it's difficult to segue off that. I feel like Casey Kasem.
Starting point is 00:14:40 That's a hard pivot. It's a hard pivot. But I'm going to give the first sex jam to a very special guest. And again, for the listenership, Cam and Stu have no idea whose face is about to appear. I love this moment, like this anticipation. I'm wringing my hands. I have to admit, I
Starting point is 00:14:55 love this too. Like once we started doing it with Lorne Honigman, I think I'm going to do it for the rest of the run of this program, to be quite honest with you. Could be anybody. You don't know who's going to be here to kick out the first sex jam, but let's see whose face we see. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Okay, now this is getting legit. Oh my god. Huge. Hi, guys. Hi, Dana. Can you hear me sure wow oh now we have to like behave like hold on it's sort of different when like hebsie's here now we have some real talent i'm having some i'm having some airpods issues what else is new hi mike dana thanks so much for doing this. Host of On the DL, a fantastic podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Everybody should be subscribed to and everybody should listen. Stu, the mic is yours. Would you like to say anything? I can't believe it. This is such a great treat. Obviously, we're such big fans. To have you here talking sex with us is, I mean, that's bucket list right there. I know Cam had pushed hard for this
Starting point is 00:16:10 moment to happen and I'm very excited. So to speak, so to speak. So to speak, my friend. So to speak. There's going to be so much innuendo in this show, I'm sure. Well, you're talking about if not one of my favorite female artists. Oh artists but don't disclose
Starting point is 00:16:25 it yet because i'll play it and then we can oh oh this is still the reveal here yeah i wanted to see their faces when dana fucking levinson showed up in the zoom chat like i mean are you kidding me this is surreal how are you i'm great i. I'm always so much better when I see Mike. He makes my day. Oh, my God. I'm so happy to see you guys, too. Of course. Really?
Starting point is 00:16:49 He's all right. I've been missing him. What do you guys think of my T-shirt? I like it. Do I get one? Love it. So right now, this is the only one that exists. But Dana, I know you're a little young, Dana, to remember this.
Starting point is 00:17:01 But do you remember when Toronto Tees were all the rage in this? I know you worked for CFTO. But City TV was looking but you remember when Toronto Tees were all the rage in this? I know you worked for CFTO, but City TV was looking for people in their Toronto Tees, and then they'd say, hey, you win a prize because you're wearing your Toronto Tees. You remember this? I remember that. You'd get like a pizza pizza coupon. Something like that. And I think
Starting point is 00:17:17 Ziggy Lawrence, F-O-T-M, Ziggy. I think CFTR also with that bumper sticker, if you had it on your car. Yeah, but that's different. Yes, you're right. But the Toronto Tees was the City TV thing. And I'm thinking of selling... Dana, you won't have to pay for this. Don't worry. But I'm thinking of selling Toronto Mike
Starting point is 00:17:33 t-shirts. I just wondered what you guys thought. First AWOL in the history of Toronto Mike. Okay. Okay, I'll get you. Toronto Mike merch. It's awesome. Now we have dana for a short while here so i'm gonna kick out her jam so i'm gonna start playing it then i'll bring it down and i'll kind of give you the uh remember we're talking about sex people well that's we can't wait to
Starting point is 00:17:57 hear you talk about something that you talk about on the dl all the time yeah really is it is it like sexy talk all the time is it really wow i mean it like sexy talk? All the time. Is it really? Wow. I mean, it depends on the topic. If it doesn't fit, we're not talking sexy time. But there's nothing we don't talk about and there's nothing we don't say out loud. And often sex and sex-related issues, people don't like to talk about out loud, but we do on the DL.
Starting point is 00:18:22 And it used to not be like that. Obviously, you're a broadcaster with uh tons of uh on-air experience sex was a taboo thing for you in your career uh you weren't allowed to talk about that and now you are well i mean i was i wasn't allowed to talk about it on air or on any of my social media channels but um there was a lot of stuff i wasn't allowed to talk about now i am the executive executive producer of my own life and my own show and i can talk about whatever the fuck i want yeah just see her dana like drop an f-bomb like that like i know my kids how many times i've dropped the f-bomb they're like you used to be so refined since Since you started hanging around Mike Boone.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah, he wears a lot. Yeah. He called Stu and I a-holes before you showed up. Why? Yeah, you see Spicy, that t-shirt's too tight. Because they're not data. Why are you calling them a-holes?
Starting point is 00:19:17 What's wrong? I'll answer that for you, Mike. I got this sort of like false bravado. He's swinging a little bit heavier because he knew that you were going to be coming on the show so he had the extra confidence uh you know it's been a while i don't know if you know this but mike had his uh swimming pool drained so to speak so for him to have sort of these like sort of manly type of moments uh you know we we allow it from time he's he's bragging about all the pomegranate pasta he's got in his freezer.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I think that's innuendo. It's gross. Are you going to send me another lasagna? Dana. Oh, you're sending her lasagnas? No, I didn't. He'll bike it over. We're going to play this jam now because I can't wait to hear you
Starting point is 00:20:01 talk about this artist. When you come to my backyard this summer to kick out the jams, wow, I'm going to have a lasagna for you. Dana brings you like bagels and wine from what I recall. And pillows. And pushy cushions. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:17 By the way, I was the one that benefited from that, just so you know. I appreciate it. That's right. What a moment. Okay. We got to get to this jam though.
Starting point is 00:20:24 So let's listen up to this first sex music. Dana. Talk about rough trade. Romance. What? Put cream in your jeans. 50 shades of Dana. I love this data.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I'll be your mistress tonight. I'd like to put you in a trance. If I take you from behind Push myself into your mind When you used to expect it Oh, Dana, it's getting hot in here. Holy smokes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:32 It is so good. I'm going to turn off my camera for a couple seconds. Holy smokes. Okay, I'm back. I'm back. That didn't take long. I'm quick. I'm quick.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Yes, quick, quick drama. Okay. We've heard. I'm quick. Yes, quick, quick drama. Okay. Dana, this is, yeah, too many jokes. Okay. Erotica by Madonna. Tell us why you love this song. Yeah, please. I love this song for so many reasons.
Starting point is 00:22:00 One is because it's Madonna. That's just first and foremost. She's one of my faves. And it was at a time, you know know 1992 is when she dropped the song and I was a lot younger and it was really one of the first times that yeah that uh an artist gave young females permission to be sexual like really sexual and not sexual like with the door closed and with your partner. It was like an awakening for us. It was like, oh my God, someone is actually saying what we feel when we're having sex or that we are super sexual. And it's not, you know, it was just, it was like the first time.
Starting point is 00:22:46 That was one part of it. The other part of it was that it was, it's like such a sexy song. And like when you hear it, even now it's like, you know, you get a little hot, bothered a little, and it's a good vibe. I loved it. A little squirmy.
Starting point is 00:23:01 I've always felt like it's the sequel to Justify My Love. Well, it's right that it is, in a way. And it coincides with her sex book, which, of course, I couldn't buy because I was living in my parents' house at the time. And not that they would have shunned it, but it was kind of like one of those things like, I'm not buying a coffee table sex book with Madonna naked everywhere and putting it out in my parents' house. Like on the coffee table. Right. Tough luck.
Starting point is 00:23:30 But I love that book. I think we learned about Justify My Love. Lenny Kravitz was involved, like on a very early pandemic. Like he wrote it or co-wrote it. Yeah. And it's a public enemy. The book had like naked pictures of vanilla ice in it didn't it I did
Starting point is 00:23:47 yeah he was in like sexually suggestive photos with her in that book if I'm not mistaken yeah I think Warren Beatty wearing nothing but like socks and a smile you're right and it takes me back a long time so that I mean I just I love the whole album
Starting point is 00:24:02 I think it was completely brilliant she got a lot of slack for that that was kind of like back a long time so that i mean i just i love the whole album i think it was completely brilliant um she got a lot of slack for that that was kind of like i mean she got a lot of slack for everything but that was like really it i mean she really came out she always came out i remember going to see madonna in concert as a young impressionable young man uh it was at the sky dome and it was blonde ambition tour 1990 Tour. Oh, so good. 1990. Technotronic was the opening act, if I'm not mistaken.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Whoa. Whoa. But she had this one moment in the show, which is obviously covered in her film, that she had like a documentary with Warren Beatty and all that stuff. And Truth or Dare, I think it's called. She's in the bed and she's doing all sorts of stuff and it's like i was like maybe 12 or 30 at the time and i was like in the sixth row i was pretty close to the
Starting point is 00:24:52 to the bed let's put it that way and it was just like it's similar to the reaction when dana showed up on the zoom here as the surprise it was a very similar sort of like, wow. Oh, come on. Madonna's simulating masturbating. I mean, obviously, yeah. Madonna, it was pretty risque for the time. And now it's like, you know, the songs that they have are like wet ass. I know. It's a whole. You know what?
Starting point is 00:25:20 At least she was like. Subtle. Well, I wouldn't say she was subtle, but she was at least like playing, you know, more subtle. She was the queen before she was even the queen. You know what I mean? Like she was the queen before. Like a virgin. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Did you say like a virgin? Oh, yeah. Borderline material girl. She was she was the queen. Oh, yeah. Borderline material girl. She was, she was the queen, but it really was her. It was the idea that she represented women, young and old have, you know, we are just as sexual as men and she was,
Starting point is 00:25:59 and this song says it, it says all the things that she wanted the person she was experiencing sex with to do to her body and what she wanted to do to their body yeah i would say that madonna had definitely she used her sexuality as a as a weapon in a way to like sort of you know tear down walls and limitations and you know men were the ones that were doing sexually egregious material and here she was and people weren't looking at her like you know calling her names and whatnot she it was in a power it was done in an empowerment sort of way where she was sort of respected for for doing it i mean i don't know if that was the whole run that she was
Starting point is 00:26:41 respected for doing it but during this specific time between, you know, Vogue and like a virgin and this erotica stuff, she, she, she was leading the charge for sexual empowerment for women. Am I wrong? No, you're right. And I think I, I have always said there's nothing wrong with saying to women, use your power. And if that's part of your power, then use it. It doesn't matter if you're using it in a feminine way or in a masculine way, right? If you're a woman and you are sexual and you need to be sexual, then use it. And she was saying, do it and do it to me and let me do it to you.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And that was okay. And being young, I was like, oh my God god finally someone is saying that and it was just it was just like life-changing for me well I I like you would also so there's all that but you think you'd also hear her on like CHFI too like she could turn it on and turn it off and you know two six months later she put a single like you know this used to be my playground or something. That's the farthest from that. And then she can swing back and get into all sort of the more risque step too. Very few artists can pull that off. It's remarkable just the longevity she had.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Cam also failing to mention that erotic Madonna song, one of his go-to karaoke jams back in the day. Cam used to get up and sing it. He did it pretty good, too. I mean, sex is a weapon. I mean, I commented that. But all sex songs are like that, right? She just happened to be
Starting point is 00:28:15 one of the first females to do it and do it well. But I appreciate what you're saying, Cam, about how she really has so many different sides and she really plays into all of her talent and she can just turn one thing on, one thing off, you know, at any given time. Like I've heard her on I'm sure you've heard her interviewed by Howard Stern. I mean, it's so brilliant. And I mean, she is she's a genius.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Like she really is a real genius. She's a genius. She really is a real genius. And I just have a great appreciation for music and for artists, but particularly Madonna, because I feel that she was part of my childhood, and then she became part of my adulthood, and she continues to still inspire me. And I love that she's 62 now. Yeah, she's 62, 64, 62, I forget. that she's she's 62 now yeah she's 62 64 62 i forget um and she's
Starting point is 00:29:08 still super sexual i don't care what anyone says about her facelifts and her pulls and her tugs whatever you checked out her arms her british accent yeah like all that stuff kind of yes that is a turnoff when she gets up on stage and she moves stop it like really stop it yeah it's a big big fucking deal i will tell you my number one thing on my bucket list like anybody my like number one item on my bucket list guess what it is to uh hang out with donna well kind hanging out. I think you want Madonna on the DL. Well, that too. But that came later. But this is my like... I actually thought that
Starting point is 00:29:50 somehow... I've actually fantasized about this. No, it's not having sex with Madonna. Don't get excited. I've literally like... I've almost tried to manage. No! That was Stu. That was Stu. That wasn't me. I just want to to manage it. No! That was Stu. That was Stu. That wasn't me. I just want to point that out.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Okay, here's my number one on my bucket list. Number one item. I want to dance on stage with Madonna. Wow. That's sweet. What song would you choose? It's your number one.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Number one fantasy in your life number one bug list to dance on stage with madonna i feel like i feel like that's it dude that's achievable though i feel like that's yeah it is achievable you think you like to dance on stage with madonna i think it could happen i mean with people maybe she does like a vegas residency and she's does you know you're on the you know you're you get in there there's like a Vegas residency and she's does, you know, you're on the, you know, you're, you get in there. There's like an audience member up for like a thing and you go up. You know what?
Starting point is 00:30:52 She always brings an audience member up, but it's usually not a female. It's usually a younger male in the audience. Do you know what my, my name actually is? My, my, my given name is Dana, but what people call me. Medina? Correct. Medina. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:09 That's a mind blow. I see that. That's a mind blow? Did you used to dress as Medina for Halloween? No, I didn't need to dress up for Halloween as that because that's who I am. No, my hair was as high as it could be be I had my jean jacket and my mini skirt and my fishnet stockings and I was it yeah my Mike's Mike still has a few uh cone-shaped bras from
Starting point is 00:31:37 back in the day what's wrong with cone-shaped bras nothing Dana in my humble opinion, Dana, I think you're the Madonna of podcasting. Oh, there you go. Look at this. This is why, you know, this is why I just love him so much. He just fills me up. He calls me Dana fucking Levinson. He never even refers to me as Dana Levinson, but you know, Mike, you should be calling me Medina.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Medina? Well, everyone calls me that. Okay, well, you just, I only learned that right now. Maybe I'll adjust my... What? What are you talking about? You knew that. To me, you're Dana fucking Levinson. If that's a problem, let me know. Take it off with HR. I do like that, too,
Starting point is 00:32:16 though. Mike's nickname for you is pretty good. I think that's really nice of you, but if you guys can try to make that happen for me, I'd be really grateful. Maybe Eric Alper? know yeah I don't know if you can do that I don't think he reaches that high okay so Dana big decision time for you uh you can either disappear but if you're gonna do that I want a photo first or you can linger and I'm gonna kick out Cam's first sex jam now it's up 100% up to you.
Starting point is 00:32:47 We'll take a picture. I'll see what the sex jam is. Cam, are you taking this photo? We should make bets whether she's going to bail on Cam's first jam. My money's on she's gone by the end of this photo. I'm trying to think what... Okay. Countdown from three. So three, two, one.
Starting point is 00:33:04 How's that? I think we got it. Oh my god. Dana, what a one. How's that? I think we got it. Oh my God, Dana, what a start. You guys are so great. And I can't wait to have you in the backyard to kick out the jams when I can get you your beer and your lasagna and everything. I just want to let everyone know though,
Starting point is 00:33:20 on the DL, you can subscribe to it right now. And we dropped a new episode this morning with Shale Wagman, who is compared to Mikhail... I almost said Mikhail Gorbachev, but no, no, no, no, no, no. No, darling. Baryshnikov. Baryshnikov, of course.
Starting point is 00:33:36 The ballet dancer. Ballerino? Ballerino. Shale Wagman. Listen to the episode, because I learned so much. What a prodigy uh what a prodigy yeah what a prodigy shale is wow yeah we talked about stuff that people don't talk about out loud you have to listen to it so listen to that amazing madonna i know you love madonna thank you so much for that cam any words before i kick out your first jam well I'll say this I mean I know we're talking about these are sex
Starting point is 00:34:06 songs but you know I feel like the best sex is when there's love so like a lot of the best sex songs are also about love which I think we'd agree are you bringing up Lionel Richie or like
Starting point is 00:34:21 Endless Love because I think like love should be embraced. Love should not be taken for granted and certainly songs about love should not be taken for granted. And that's what this first song is. Mike, you can play
Starting point is 00:34:37 the music. Ba-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng, da-deng I'm still in love with you, I'm still in love with you Bounce, come on, bounce, bounce, come on, bounce Certainly always in control, you know what I'm saying? I slam the door when I come into the bedroom Cause I'm the king of the castle Turn me on, turn me loose Try to hit it, it's a hassle Come get some of this, don't forget the innuendo
Starting point is 00:35:34 Play me like Nintendo, never ever let go Keep it so loud, you may hit him like crescendo Don't free me, I'm so latido Come baby come, baby baby come come Come baby come, baby baby come come Well you gotta give me lovin' and you gotta give me some Well you gotta give me lovin' and you gotta give me some You see that? We just got an MF lurking in the background. I was on the wrong screen can you
Starting point is 00:36:06 tell me to come back you see that oh kind of yeah it's kind of creepy yeah she's doing kind of uh you put on k7 it's like the pied piper yeah for sure and like i said what my heart is bursting with love from that song cam yeah i mean i don't know what to do with myself. I mean, so many, you know, daughters and their fathers, their first dance at their weddings. It's a K7. What a great song. Now, just before we start, ironically, this song could have actually been a fit for two recent Pandemic Fridays episodes. We had Baseball Jams, Swing Bada Bada Swing. The name of this album was actually Swing Badder Swing or something
Starting point is 00:36:46 Also hip hop I feel like this would have been a hip hop Song I think so But is it top 20? Probably Reached number 18 in the US Number 3 in the UK
Starting point is 00:37:02 Yeah the album was called Swing Badder Swing Now this was a bit of a mind blow I didn't realize K7 was a guy Not a band in the U S number three in the UK. Um, yeah, the album was called swing batter swing. Now this was a bit of a mind blow. I didn't realize K seven was a guy, not a band. Did we know that? I thought it was a band. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Because L seven is a band. Yeah. I think I got confused. Cause it's kind of same generation, very different sound obviously. Um, but no K seven is a born Lewis sharp. Um, in 1966, he's a an american musician born in uh ponce puerto rico okay now do we know who else is from ponce puerto rico roberto alomar yeah somebody was just in the news when you talk about about sex songs, maybe Roberto Alomar's favorite sex songs
Starting point is 00:37:46 would not be appropriate given his recent news cycles, as well as a slew of other major league players, Carlos Correa, former Expo Javier Vasquez, former Blue Jay catcher Benito Santiago, and someone else I think we mentioned recently, Otto Valens. Suado. Otto the Suado.
Starting point is 00:38:05 What does that have to do with sex songs? Nothing, Cam. This is what I was saying. We're getting to the point here. Dean is new here. Excuse her. She's new here. Now, Larry Flick.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Do we know who Larry Flick is? The People versus Larry Flick. No, Larry Flick was a Billboard writer, and his comments on this song was, do not even try to sit out this thick and chewy hip hop throw down. It's next to impossible. So Larry Thicke was a big fan of Come Baby Come. I'm not going to go into Dana or Stu.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Maybe you have some thoughts about the innuendo there. Come Baby Come. I mean, it's not even innuendo, it's perhaps just obvious Yeah Hey, Canada Kev is wondering it's K7, right? He's wondering if it's, is that K-Y?
Starting point is 00:38:57 No, like they just kind of inverted the K-Y I'll say yes, it is Sure That's not true Why not? Now, K7's a bit of a one-hit wonder. From what I dug up, his next biggest hit may have been
Starting point is 00:39:12 a cover of Heidi Ho, the old Cat Calloway jam. That makes sense, because he's got that call-and-answer kind of thing. I can sort of see that. Which actually showed up on the soundtrack for one stew there you go good one yeah so that was from the mask soundtrack okay with jim carrey amongst other artists this is quite an eclectic soundtrack so we got fishbone
Starting point is 00:39:37 we got tony tony tony uh the brian setzer orchestra and somebody that I think a lot of women find very sexy. Harry Connick Jr. Back in the day. Or like Chris Isaac was too edgy so you're like in the Harry Connick Jr. I don't think Harry Connick Jr. does it for Dana. That was an underwhelming response. You know who I mean? I mean, I wouldn't kick him out of bed.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Prince? Oh, Prince. If we don't hear any Prince tonight, I'll be pretty surprised. He was pretty sexy. Prince actually has a song that's perfect for Cam and MF. Because Prince has sexy MF. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Talk about double entendre. You know what? I should have picked Purple Rain. Well, that was like every girl's like sex song when she got into stuff. Did I just say that out loud? What kind of stuff? This has been
Starting point is 00:40:39 so fun. Thank you for having me. This has been great. Thank you, Dana. You were amazing. I love chatting with you guys. Good to see you. Goodbye, Medina. Somebody on the live chat
Starting point is 00:40:57 at live.toronto mic felt that Stu was behaving himself. I know Dana's still here. I was going to say this after you left, but Stu was on his best behavior because Dana was here. Oh, thank God. Jesus. Oh, it was Quebec Irish boy wrote. I mean, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:41:14 It's nice seeing Stu so polite and almost shy with Dana. Oh, no. Come on. Oh, my God. The look on Stu's face for the first two minutes was just... I'd call it orgasmic, given the look on Stu's face for the first two minutes was just... I'd call it orgasmic, given the topic of today's episode. It's a shame that she had to hear
Starting point is 00:41:32 Cam's song first, because obviously she left, because I had something teed up that would have just kept her here, but... She was bobbing her head. She was into it. Come on. Cam, did you finish all your K7 fun facts? Yeah, there wasn't really that much about this guy.
Starting point is 00:41:46 But the main thing is it's a guy, not a band. Interesting. Okay, we're off to a roaring start. We've had Madonna. We had K7. Speaking of Madonna, here's another megastar
Starting point is 00:41:57 from the 1980s. It's my turn. Here we go. This is actually like the first actual good sex jam that's been played so far. I had to fight Stu to get it. Okay. Okay, George. George Michael, I Want Your Sex, parts one and two, by the way. This is the album cut. Who do you think he sounded like in that part?
Starting point is 00:43:19 Do you guys notice, now that we listen back, how much he sounds like Prince? No. Essentially, not that we listen back, how much he sounds like Prince? No. Like, essentially, not that you could sound like Prince, but that he's doing a Prince there. No. I totally agree with you, Mike. I never liked this one.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Oh, no, we'll get into that. Okay, so I'll do some fun facts. One is that George Michael... Can I just get the automatic fun facts just off the table right now? Sure. Sex is natural. Sex is fun.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Sex is... That's it. Right, because it was... Even though some people, like the BBC, restricted this video because they felt it might promote promiscuity.
Starting point is 00:44:03 In fact, as you said there of that line, this song is a pro-monogamy song. This song is about exploring monogamy. It's all over the video. His girlfriend at the time, Kathy Jung, is in the video, and he writes on her back, monogamy and all this, explore monogamy. That's what it's about.
Starting point is 00:44:22 But back to the Prince thing real quick. Do you and Monica ever get into stuff stuff like that or what how's that work so he he himself george michael i'm referring to was so concerned that he sounded too much like prince he completely distanced himself from this song he never performed it live after the faith tour he didn't touch it again in fact there was a recent retrospective that he put out before he passed away, like 25 years anthology or something. And this song is
Starting point is 00:44:52 not even there because he was embarrassed of how much he was ripping off Prince. I don't hear it. I really don't hear it. The part is when he goes kind of like imitating almost like a woman's voice and he goes in this high pitch like persona yeah prince was doing that quite a bit at the time but this is
Starting point is 00:45:11 this is what he thought but i have some more fun facts invented falsetto prince was doing it at the time right so this song came out in 1987 uh it peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 it was the third hit from ready for this the first time this comes out it's not coming off Faith this song can anybody name the movie soundtrack that this song was on oh uh
Starting point is 00:45:36 I was just going to say like 8 and a half weeks but I feel like that was 16 Candles all good guesses. This is actually the third hit to come off the soundtrack for Beverly Hills Cop 2. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Come on! So it was so well received by the public that they decided to release it as the first single from the upcoming album Faith, which by the way is a playthrough. I think every fucking song on that album is either a hit
Starting point is 00:46:09 or it's a good album. I feel like we should have led with this song. This seems like a song Deanna would have been in her wheelhouse. Nah, she's in like the Whips and Chains, Madonna. She should have kicked out Rihanna's S&M or something like that, I feel.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Medina. So that line, and again, this is the long version, so at some point. Sorry, what line? Come on. So I've been dropping the come on. I've been dropping that on my kids for 19 years. Like I actually dropped that on the reg. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Come on. Do you do it more often than if you're hungry, go make something to eat? Yes. And if you're dirty, then go take a bath. There you go. You tell them. Shout out to Bob Ouellette.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Shout out to the five-year-old. Okay. I want to shout out some FOTMs in the live chat here. So I want to shout out Midtown Gord, who just arrived, and he's happy to see Sue Johansson is here. Michael Lang. Michael Lang.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Monica writes Matt... Monica writes Matt Layden's tweets on Mike's back. Okay, that's good. I might need a screen cap for that. That's a good line. Who's this? Langer also says his video for Freedom 90 was very memorable.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Well, you know, of course, that's not the only place she writes Matt Layden's tweets. She also writes Matt Layden's tweets. Hey, no. Thanks, Cambrio. Beck, great FOTM. Beck gave this three hearts and she says love me some george oh baby i'm making a lot of come on he uh he died on christmas day yes am i
Starting point is 00:47:54 wrong yes he did okay because i yeah i remember being at the i think we talked about this like being at the table my sister like announcing it to the gordon family like george michael's dead it was like well elvis came on this program shortly thereafter and bald like a baby. Like, uh, he, he was really affected by George Michael's death. Come on.
Starting point is 00:48:15 I want to say hello to hold on. My page jumped. Oh, leave a Fumka. Uh, I thought I was kissing Dana's ass. I really just was being playful. Oh,
Starting point is 00:48:24 no, I felt it. I was just was being playful. I felt it. I was just being playful. Is MF laughing at me? I want to say... A little bit. Cambrio says, Stu was in the front row of all the Madonna shows.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Is that true? Come on! And he points out that Madonna made out with Drake. That's, I don't know. Where? When? I don't know. Camb with Drake That's I don't know Where? When? I don't know Cambrio reports So I don't know I will say this about this song I can specifically remember
Starting point is 00:48:54 Two different Things whenever they would show up on the TV I would actually leave the room as a kid Because I was so embarrassed to be there with my dad One was this video The second was every time a ravishing Rick Rude would come to the ring and do the whole
Starting point is 00:49:09 shut the southern sweat hogs and take off my robe. It's for all you fat, ugly, out of shape southern sweat hogs. We're in part two of the song because there's actually three parts to I Want Your Sex. And now we're in part two of the song because there's actually three parts to I Want Your Sex
Starting point is 00:49:26 and now we're in part two here but I'm sorry to interrupt you there but I do want to say hi to Moose Grumpy who's on the live chat hello Moose Grumpy come on
Starting point is 00:49:33 Jokeroo who wants his he's already excited about his Toronto Mike t-shirts so stay tuned I'll tell you how to get your Toronto Mike tee
Starting point is 00:49:40 and if I bike around the city and I see you wearing your Toronto Mike tee good things are going to happen. We got a fist bump. Right. Things are going to happen. And who else?
Starting point is 00:49:53 A lot of good people here on the live chat here. Okay. I jumped too far back. It's like a good crowd today. Oh, Robbie J. chimed in. He said, i can't find my invite i think robbie j wants to be the special guest but now that i said that he can never be the special guest because you'll be thinking it might be robbie j that's right no like you're gonna like you're
Starting point is 00:50:16 really bringing between the last two dane and etsy i mean wow i mean we've had some they've all been awesome it all started with la Lauren Honigman. Bingo Bob. Well, Bingo Bob wasn't even that, now in hindsight. He was the Shock G memorial provider. Huge, huge. Stu, while George Michael wraps up, because he's wrapping up now, why don't you set up your first jam?
Starting point is 00:50:43 Are you there? I'm not interested. I'm waiting for you to... I don't talk over the end of your song. Actually, it was going to be your song too. Well, I mean, now it's your pick. So I'm waiting for the Kiki Come On just like you are. We missed it.
Starting point is 00:50:58 I think it was earlier. You blew it. Kiki, Kiki, Kiki, Kiki, come on. Is MF in the room? I don't need her on camera, but can she see you? it, kick it, come on. All right, Cam, is MF in the room? I don't need her on camera, but can she see you? No, I'm on my front. I don't know if you can tell, like, I'm outside now. I heard birds.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Cam, can you stand up? Oh, you want to see? Like, should I turn sideways? No, you just stand up. But can you still hear us? Well, you're going to have to hear us. This is not going to work. He took off his headphones. You got to have your headphones so you can hear us.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I need you to keep your headphones on so you can hear. It's not that long. Oh, it's not? Can you hear me? Okay, so you're standing up and you can hear, right? Okay, so I want you to just have a listen to the song and I want you to think about Rick Rude. Think about Rick Rude, okay?
Starting point is 00:51:59 And I'm going to play the song and see if anything happens to you here because here's my sex jam. Everybody who's watching live, watch song and see if anything happens to you here, because here's my sex jam. Everybody who's watching live, watch Cam and see if something happens here. I don't know. I figured he would be dancing Remember when Jake the Snake pulled his pants off because he had the airbrushed white? Cheryl Roberts? Dastardly. Dang it. Dang it, they're hot here. Just because you guys thought, like, how can you beat George Michael?
Starting point is 00:53:39 I want your sex. Well, this is how you do it. They come with some pony by Ginuwine. Wow. What a jam. Was that Boner Watch? Because Ian Service says he's driving. He's having trouble watching the Boner Watch.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Yeah, he's a stick chef. Ginuwine, come ride the pony, guys. It's kind of shocking because this song feels like it's this culturally sort of crossover song that everybody kind of knows this song. You would think everybody knows this song, and it's a pretty sexy song. And it's synonymous probably with bachelor parties or bachelorette parties or quinceañeras. Like pub night at the campus pub yeah pub night uh you know the champagne room yeah you're watching like a comedy movie like some sexually charged comedy
Starting point is 00:54:35 this song might play when like a guy is doing like you know when like kevin james is being sexy or something totally uh i mean listen guys this is a pretty sexy song, but it would surprise you maybe to know that it, well, what number do you think this song went to on the charts? Let's just go there. The way you, Bill, set that up, I'm going to say 44. I'd say like 71. Well, I didn't build it up very well then
Starting point is 00:55:06 It went to number 6 Yeah, you didn't, Bill You made it sound like this thing didn't turn for that I just thought it was a number 1 song Oh, really? Okay Yeah, I thought this was like a for sure number Well, it was number 1 on the R&B hip hop chart for forever And Double D, who's on the live chat
Starting point is 00:55:21 Says it was the number 1 stripper song Yeah, I mean, this song was everywhere. And of course this is a song that introduced us to a young, talented producer who would go on to have quite a prolific career, a gentleman by the name of Timbaland. This was his debut success breakthrough production. Big one. And of course he goes on from here to do timberland and magoo
Starting point is 00:55:46 alia missy elliott justin timberlake uh i think he worked with uh uh chris cornell yeah he has had a very prolific career timberland has and uh his unique sort of production he's one of these guys you hear a track you know it's a timberland song and i think you know because it has like these different sounds and baby laughing and just you know he uses kind of different kind of stuff but this is uh this is a great song i'm a sexual masterpiece and go ahead a little bit in the song like the baby like yeah that's that like a sign that was like a sign off from like gerber or like hasbro or something am i matching that maybe like you know like sega they used to be the commercials and like we're at the end of it like sega yeah like i thought it was like something like that
Starting point is 00:56:36 for like hasbro or like i'm not sure i will say that uh two films that i know cam has seen uh this song has appeared in. One of them, of course, Magic Mike. And it does sequel Magic Mike XXL. I saw one of them on a plane. But the 1997 film, which launched the career of Jamie Foxx into the stratosphere. Booty Call, if you remember Booty Call. Booty Call, sure.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Oh, yeah. There you go guys my first entry is pony by genuine and dana if she would have stuck around i think she would have really lit up uh hearing this song i think she would have liked it even more than the song that she played earlier today there was a little bit of a pool that was started. I don't know who picked what, but how early would they hear Pony tonight? That was one of the... Well, it almost didn't go because two songs that I selected were selected by others. So it was like an alternate for me to put Pony on. So I actually was quite shocked that Pony was available.
Starting point is 00:57:41 for me to put pony on. So I actually was quite shocked that pony was available and I was astounded and happy that it wouldn't get Hanson because it is such a, a sexy song. Totally. That's interesting. Cause one of my choices, someone else chose it as well. So it looks like there's a lot of,
Starting point is 00:57:56 you know, inter, you know, it's like an orgy of, you know, kind of a tri tri bait gimmick here. Every cock for itself sure yeah that works
Starting point is 00:58:08 too Cameron any words before your second sex jam um no but this is an interesting track because this was sort of an artist I never think of at all and then go back and look at their chart performance and this song too is a massive
Starting point is 00:58:24 hit it's like oh yeah them so yeah there's a little intro your body full moon in the city and the night was young I was hungry for love I was hungry for love I was hungry for fun I was hunting you down And I was the bait When I saw you there
Starting point is 00:59:14 I didn't need to hesitate This is the night This is the night This is the time We've got to get right This is the night. This is the time. We've got to get right. This is the night. Touch me. Touch me.
Starting point is 00:59:29 I want to feel your body. Your heartbeat next to mine. This is the night. Touch me. Touch me now. Quick as a flash, you did it. Hey, you guys know who this is, right? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Sorry, go ahead, Stu. I was just going to say, this is like the record company saw Madonna and saw what she was doing, and they were like, well, we've got a girl that will really do it. As Double D points out in the chat, and I have the same memory,
Starting point is 01:00:00 the poster of Samantha Fox was everywhere when I was a kid. Penthouse Magazine with Samantha Fox. Absolutely. This song and other Samantha Fox songs were all over 680 CFDR, you know, top 40 stations. I feel like I knew who she was, like what she looked like, and I knew the songs, but I never really put two and two together two together even though this song I was a little surprised to hear this this was a number one
Starting point is 01:00:30 hit in Canada wow I remember hearing it all the time yeah it was it was a big jam I'm just a little surprised it went to number one in Canada not to mention number one in Australia Greece Finland Norway Portugal Sweden Switzerland only went to number three in her native UK and number four in the US. Oh, only number three. Yeah. Monster Jam. This song came out March 1986. Do you guys sort of know like Samantha Fox's whole narrative?
Starting point is 01:01:00 Like pretty much everything she did in the 90s and 2000s. Like I didn't really know about what she did. i'm curious to find out what she's up to i just remember at the time the controversy i think was she would pose topless or she was she a stripper did she a topless model or something well no when she this is i mean this is not age well when she was 17 her mother actually sent some uh photos of her into the sun now Now, you guys, not the Toronto Sun, obviously, although maybe they would have been interested to. This is the British newspaper, the Sun, that has the page. Yeah, you're a fan.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Well, you know. Well, they had topless photos in their newspapers in Britain. Yeah, like on page three or page six or whatever it was. And yeah, she, you know, kind of was featured there that's when everyone knew about her um and then she went from there she she did a lot of little recording earlier but then it was around like kind of 86 that she started hitting the charts and this was this was by far her biggest uh monster biggest song yeah but had a bunch of other charting singles and then I think had a pretty steep fall off once the 90s hit. In 1990, this is a fun fact, she actually appeared on an episode
Starting point is 01:02:12 of Charles in Charge. Wow, Scott Baio. Yeah, which a big Trump supporter. She played a character named Samantha Steele, a fictional rock star whose agent pushes her to romance Charles so that the paparazzi will print it in the tabloid. Oh, I actually kind of remember that one. Do you? Modeled after Lita Ford, maybe.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I always get it confused with the episode when Stacey Q was at the mall and Kimmy skipped school and Uncle Jesse was with Michelle in the record store on one of those kiddie leashes, if you remember. Totally. He went around the corner.
Starting point is 01:02:50 He saw them hiding. And then he followed the leash and then found them hiding. But then he ended up being a cool uncle and letting them stay to meet Stacey. But you spent too much time rolling with Saget. That's why you're confused here. Oh, no. Cam knows what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Sadly, I know exactly what's to say. I do remember that episode. But I watched Charles in Charge. That's Full House. Right? Yeah, what's Stu's describing? Oh, I'm describing Full House, yes, because Stacey Q, Samantha Fox, same thing. Similar. Yeah, Queen of Hearts,
Starting point is 01:03:22 right? Queen of Hearts? Was that her baby? Queen of Hearts. Yeah, that was a big jam around the same time. two of hearts oh i was playing with the queen of hearts that was a whole different song you're thinking motorhead the queen of spades what is it ace of spades ace of spades right now samantha fox into the 2000s she she appeared on a lot of uh uk-based reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Wife Swap. Now, are you guys aware of the statement she made
Starting point is 01:03:52 in 2003 that really changed what everyone thought about Samantha Fox? This was a big reveal. That she was actually bisexual and she was in love with her manager, Myra Stratton. I miss that news.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Yeah. So they, they became a couple of people. Sam. Yeah. The magazine, that article was printed and I, I looked at the pictures.
Starting point is 01:04:16 How do you read? And it's awfully sticky now. So you can't, the pages are stuck together. Well, like three or four of them are anyway, Myra Stratton, Stratton was a lot older.
Starting point is 01:04:26 But nevertheless, they became a couple. And sadly, we lost Myra in 2015 to breast cancer at the age of 60. Hey, Cam, keep rocking with your fun facts about Samantha Fox. I love it. But just touch your nose when you're done your fun facts, because we actually have a second special guest in the waiting room. Oh, okay. Come on.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Come on. Come on! I'm done. Bring them in. Samantha Fox, touch me. Samantha Fox is the special guest. So, sex chams, another special guest has arrived. Are we going to be doing multiple special guests now, moving forward?

Starting point is 01:05:18 building. Are you Matt Layden? For the record, once and for all, are you Matt Layden? No. I wish I was. Well, I saw you nodding. I wasn't sure if I should play along with you. Pregnant pause.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Oh, don't say that. I got a vasectomy. There you go. No pregnant pauses. Did you notice I stuck with the familiar background, the familiar scene and now I'm regretting it because there's midges everywhere There's what now? Midges
Starting point is 01:05:50 Those little flying bugs Stu lives too north to know what that is That's a lake thing Midges are these little harmless bugs that we have in Alberta It's a new Toronto thing Mike did say that he had a lot of sexy people in the
Starting point is 01:06:06 backyard today. I didn't know. Babe, you're here for sex jams. Big special guest. Do you want me to just play the song and then we'll hear you remark. Exciting. I'm so excited to have you here.

Starting point is 01:07:27 I wanna love you down You are so fine, baby All I wanna do is I wanna sex you up all night. I want to sex you up. Baby, before you say it, before you say anything, I am so rude to interrupt you. I just want to let you know I had to fight off both Cam and Stu. Like, I think you both wanted this jam, right?
Starting point is 01:08:12 It's a great song. More than anything. But I reserved it for you, Monica. Talk to us about this great sex jam. This is I Want to Sex You Up by Color Me Bad. This is the first song that came to mind. And when I looked up some info, it was released
Starting point is 01:08:32 in 1991. She's on the show. Monica is on the show and she's already contributing way more than my damn friends. So it was created for the movie New Jack City in 91. I was going to point out that fun the movie New Jack City. Yeah, I was going to point out that fun fact.
Starting point is 01:08:49 New Jack City soundtrack. I've never seen that movie, but I was listening to this song and I was 10 years old in 91. I don't know what 10 year old Monica was, why or how I was listening to this song. But that's Edmonton for you, right? Can you tell the story about how you met the star of New Jack City? Who is the star? Ice-T, Judd Nelson. Oh, Ice-T, I did, in Vegas.
Starting point is 01:09:16 He was walking his dog with his wife. Ah, Coco. Yeah, Coco. I stopped them for a selfie, and they awkwardly agreed because they were holding a bag of poop. Yeah. Shout out to Ice-T. You know, Color Me Bad, they had a shot to do some special things. You know, they had a lot going for them.
Starting point is 01:09:37 They had I Want to Sex You Up. They had I Adore Me Amor. They had Get Up, That's A Bag, I'll Do Anything For You had Yes, I like that one. That was a good one. They had the television exposure on 90210 several times. I was going to say, this could be a trivia question.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Peach Pit after Dark Irregulars. The problem with them, you know, they could have been new kids and all these boy acts were coming. I couldn't name one member of Color Me Bad was it Vince and Neil and Sam and
Starting point is 01:10:10 Kenny G was Kenny G in that band there was a rumor but I just like they never marketed them as like their individual selves it was just everyone knows Color Me Bad but can't tell you the names of the guys in it which is sad because they had hits.
Starting point is 01:10:27 They were kind of dorks though, like they were nerds. Were they not? I don't know. Unlike us. Most of us, when we think of Color Me Bad, we think of Beavis and Butthead riffing on Color Me Bad. That's where I got the Kenny G line from. I think of New Jack City soundtrack,
Starting point is 01:10:42 song three. Okay. New Jack, hustler. Babe. Okay. Okay. Okay. New Jack, Hustler. Babe, you got any more fun facts? Yeah. This song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, but it did make the 50 worst songs ever list, Blender's list. So I don't know how that works.
Starting point is 01:11:04 This is definitely not a bad song there's there's actually once color me bad make made it acceptable to say i want to sex you up in a pop song i think the floodgates opened after this song i mean so i hope i'm not spoiling any selections but i highly doubt i am but remember silk the song freak me baby oh yeah like let me lick you up and down Silk, the song Freak Me Baby. It's like, let me lick you up and down. I was like at dance parties in like sixth
Starting point is 01:11:29 grade listening to this. Or like, somebody's knocking, rocking their boots. It was like all these sort of sex R&B kind of sex songs that spawned after Call Me Bad, I think. Took it up a notch. Where are the children by the way?
Starting point is 01:11:44 Where are the parents on the internet? Oh, you know. Took it up a notch. Where are the children, by the way? Where are the parents on the internet talking about sex songs? There's a 19-year-old upstairs. Is James washing them? Yeah, I called him up. By the way, is James' last name Boone? So James B. Yes, James B. That's why I always
Starting point is 01:12:02 ask, is he famous? Spell differently. I know where James B. is's why I always ask, is he famous? Spell differently. I know where James B. is. He's upstairs. He's so famous, he's babysitting my kids. There you go. One more fun fact. Oh, we got more. Good. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:12:16 The TikTok soundbite, that's from Slick Rick's La-di-da-di, if you all know that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mind blow. I love La-di-da- blow. I love Lottie Dottie. Like, I absolutely, like, just love it. There's a particular version I like, but I've been throwing that on playlists for 40 years now, or it seems like.
Starting point is 01:12:33 I feel like we had a hostile exchange on Pandemic Fridays at Slick Rick is British. Did we not? Oh, I think I thought he was dead. He's not dead. I think I confused him. I don't know. I'm trying to remember who I confused him with. Like, dead, British. I thought he was dead. He's not dead. I think I confused him. I don't know. I'm trying to remember who I confused him with.
Starting point is 01:12:46 Like dead, British. I thought he was dead too. See, I think he went to jail. Okay, okay, okay, come on. Okay, I don't see. George Michael's dead. Shout out to Ridley Funeral Home. How does it look, babe?
Starting point is 01:12:58 You see the new Brad Jones? Is that the Paloochkowich spot? No, Great Lakes got the Paloochkowich spot? No, Great Lakes got the Paloochkowich spot. And then Ridley Funeral Home is right below the Palma Pasta box. So everyone's here except Mimico Mike. And by the way, if you want to enjoy midges every May, and it's not so bad. If you want to experience the midges, move to Mimico.
Starting point is 01:13:21 And I strongly urge you to talk to Mimico Mike about that. Real estate love.ca. Babe, you to talk to Mimico Mike about that. Realestatelove.ca. Babe, you're a bit younger than all of us, but do you remember Sue Johansson? Yes, I see her on the screen. She's our special guest. Hello, Sue. Next with Stu.
Starting point is 01:13:36 She had a radio show, right? On Q107, right? Well, in Edmonton, it was a different station. She was like Canada's answer to Dr. Ruth. It was like Dr. Ruth without the accent. She was on CFTR, I want to say. So Ruth would be on CFTR, and then Sex with Sue was on Q107. She was on The Hog for a while, too.
Starting point is 01:13:56 And then like the station The Hog, to clarify. She was also on broadcast television. She was on CFTO or something. Like the Women's Network. Something like that. Late at night, you could watch her taking calls about like, I have this stuck in my that and whatnot. And how do I do this with that stuff?
Starting point is 01:14:14 She would get the dolls and make them fornicate. Just to show like, oh, I have back issues. And my husband, what can we do? And she'd go, let me get my dollies. And she'd bring them out. And it was a whole thing. Is she still alive? Yep 90 years young But I will say
Starting point is 01:14:34 we'll keep you posted So babe here Yeah that was Twilight Zone Babe you are welcome to stick around and hear some I'm doing my sex jam next and I think it's a song you really Babe, you are welcome to stick around and hear some of... I'm doing my sex jam next, and I think it's a song you really, really like. You're welcome to stick around, but of course... A lot of information. We have pizza delivery, so...
Starting point is 01:14:53 You ordered pizza? I know. I didn't tell you. We have pizza. I got to go, right? I'm starving. Oh, my God. Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Maybe I will come over. Is your no? All right. Well, save me some pizza if you don't mind. Does Anthony Petrucci know you're getting pizza or whatever his name is? His name is Anthony Petrucci from Palma Pasta. He was at our wedding, right? He catered our wedding, right, babe?
Starting point is 01:15:17 Yeah. That's why he was at it because you hired him. Okay. So we answered, since I have Monica on the show for the first time, the first Pandemic Friday, we answered the Matt Layden question. You're not Matt Layden. People know that, but Cambrio likes to bring it up. Oh, you're drinking at Great Lakes.
Starting point is 01:15:30 Okay, cool. Summertime. So the last question before I kick out my jam. Any regrets about marrying me like eight years ago? Wait, should we have Mike not on this? You can be honest. I won't listen. I'll take off the headphones.
Starting point is 01:15:47 No regrets. No, that's a Tom Cochran song. She said no regrets. Oh, my God. Monica, you're such a good sport. Do you get sick of the fun facts I throw at you all day long? No many fun facts. It's not a sub.
Starting point is 01:16:01 Did you know when you married him that you'd have Ralph Ben-Murgy? That's a good question. That came as a surprise to me. Just random people coming into the house. You had one guest just open the front door without knocking and I was sitting in the living room and that was the strangest time.
Starting point is 01:16:18 Do you remember who that was? Mark Hebger. That was PJ Fresh Phil, I think. Oh! That's a funny Fellow Filipino Hey Phil Alright so you stick around if you wish
Starting point is 01:16:35 I'm going to kick out a jam now babe that was fantastic You did a great job Bye guys Okay go bye Try the pizza Mike she's too good for you Mike look I know that you're slimy
Starting point is 01:16:50 you married up man I'm gonna kick out bye babe see you later I'll sleep with you tonight okay that's a fact oh my god is she gone are you still there babe someone in the live chat. I'm so glad I caught this in the corner of my eye.
Starting point is 01:17:08 His name is Quebec Irish boy. He listens to two podcasts. He listens to Toronto Mike. Then he listens to Humble and Fred. So he's heard stories about, can you comment on the record? Cause I'm recording this about Humble Howard's speech that he made at your wedding.
Starting point is 01:17:25 That it happened. Okay. That it happened? Okay, so what happened? Because a lot of people won't know. He was really drunk. He was really drunk. I wasn't sure what he was saying, but he was a bit offensive to my family, thinking they didn't speak English.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Oh, because they looked like they were Asian. Well, they are Asian. Yes, they also look like they are Asian. So half the room, if I can describe, half the room is Asian because they're your family. Not that I don't have Asians on my side, but I didn't have any Asians on my side. Careful. Yeah. I love it.
Starting point is 01:17:58 I mean, I have two children that are Asian. I love Asians. But, and Monica. Honestly, I don't remember what he was saying. He said something. I don't remember what he was saying because I didn't quite understand. I didn't understand what he was saying. He was saying, I know you guys don't know what we're talking about. As if they didn't speak English, even though they were mostly
Starting point is 01:18:13 from Edmonton and Mississauga and stuff like that. Yeah, other than that, I don't remember what it was. It was all problematic. It's too bad we don't have it. That's the only time of the night that we didn't have it on video. It was unscheduled.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Well, now that he's a client, I might have to burn the tape anyways just to save him. Can you guys video the after party? All right, my second jam. Here it comes. Okay, babe, you're great. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:18:43 And thank you, Quebec Irish boy, for the question about the controversial speech. Here we go. Did you get it to your wife or? No. Well, I didn't know where we'd be at when she popped on, so it's a coincidence. Second time this has been played on a PF. All right. Is that right? I thought it was... Remember Cam kicked out March of the Pigs for Springtime
Starting point is 01:19:26 You let me complicate you Help me I broke apart my insides Help me I've got no soul to tell Come on Help me The only thing that works for me.
Starting point is 01:19:46 Help me get away from myself. I don't want to fuck you like an animal. I don't want to feel you from the inside. I don't want to fuck you like an animal. My whole existence is flawed. Closer. Yeah. We have kicked out a lot of Nine Inch Nails because March of the Pigs was recent. You mentioned this got kicked out.
Starting point is 01:20:23 Speaking of Nine Inch Nails, here was recent. You mentioned this had got kicked. Speaking of a nine inch nails, here's cam. Biggest hog in the room. So this is a, okay. I'm literally going to eat like a hot dog. I'm not trying to be funny. It's just,
Starting point is 01:20:35 just, yeah. So Beck says this is from magic Mike XXL. And I have no idea if that's true or not. So I'll take her word for it. Cause she's very trustworthy. Okay. Oh, it's not from the magic school bus. And YYZ Gord says it's a great jam. So, okay. Magic Mike XXL and I have no idea if that's true or not so I'll take her word for it because she's very trustworthy. It's not from the Magic School Bus.
Starting point is 01:20:49 And YYZ Gord says it's a great jam. YYZ. Yeah, but he writes it Z-E-E so I have to say it like that. Of course, because he's doing it properly. We had that argument. You're half American. The airport is YYZ. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:21:02 Cam, the airport, YYZ or YYZ. Everyone knows that. No, no, no. That's been established. Cam, the airport, YYZ or YYZ? It's in the country, like whatever country it is part of. Yeah, I think it's YYZ. Yeah, like in my head I want to say YYZ and I'm not sure why. That's the zipper. No. It's called YYZ.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Okay, so I have some fun facts about this great jam. Okay, so 1994 is when this was released. May 30th, 1994. It is the second single from their second studio album, The Downward Spiral. One of the best, in my opinion, maybe the best Nine Inch Nails album. Do you guys know what was the first single from this album?
Starting point is 01:21:42 Perfect. You are the perfect drug. I think it was March of the Pigs. Yeah, I feel like we played it and talked about it. You played it because it was a spring jam. Oh, yeah, that was my final performance.
Starting point is 01:21:57 When we do the finale and we talk about the missteps, that's going to be prominently featured, I think, here. Who wants to guess where this peaked on the Billboard Hot 100? 21. I'd say 45. Very close. 41.
Starting point is 01:22:16 So it missed out on the top 40 by that much. By the way, interestingly, I didn't even know this, but many versions of this single are actually, it's titled Closer to God, not Closer, which I did not know. Apparently it was called Closer to God. I don't know. That's what I was reading. I just want to let you know that basically, where do they get this
Starting point is 01:22:36 where do they get the drum track that this Closer's built on? It's from an Iggy Pop song called Night Clubbing, which came out in 1977 and was performed by a rolling drum machine. That's where Trent Reznor
Starting point is 01:22:52 got that beat. I will say this about my jam. It's also on the Trainspotting soundtrack. That's that track. I should point out, though, that today was my nephew's bar mitzvah
Starting point is 01:23:06 so happy mazal to my nephew Sammy who had his bar mitzvah today I'm glad you're doing that so shout out to Sammy his name is Sammy I don't know if you should listen to this part of the program but I guess at that age you can he's a big 9 inch nails guy
Starting point is 01:23:20 but there's someone's birthday in the live chat I want to shout out I just have to find it. I saw it in the middle of all that excitement. Oh, here it is. Jokeroo. It's Jokeroo's birthday today. Jokeroo. He says, send a tea my way.
Starting point is 01:23:35 Okay. I don't have them yet, Jokeroo, but I promise I got to work on. Jokeroo was here and I missed him again. That's a great today's. No, it's a Polka Dot Door reference. I love it. I love TVO and that's what i was waiting for and then after that is when they stuck on that damn doctor who that we were talking about scaring the shit out of me earlier okay so this song why am i kicking this
Starting point is 01:23:54 out as a sex jam because of that line i want to fuck you like an animal i want to feel you from the inside but trent resner uh does not like that we're talking about this as some kind of a sex jam. He's not happy with that because he says this song is about self-hatred and obsession and he's sort of dismayed by the fact that it's been misinterpreted as a lust anthem because of that chorus
Starting point is 01:24:18 that I'm referring to there. What did he expect with all due respect to his art? I mean, pretty blunt. Now he's the there so what did he expect like with all due respect to his art like i mean i know yeah now he's like you know now he's the uh movie score oscar blossoms were really pissed the gin blossoms gin blossoms were pissed because they thought people thought hey jealousy was uh about jealousy and it really was about yeah you know it's's that kind of thing, right? The version of Closer that you get on the single is actually 30 seconds longer than the album version
Starting point is 01:24:50 because on the album version, they abruptly ended to segue to the next track, which is Ruiner. But on the single, of course, they don't have to do that. So they let the piano and the, like you're kind of hearing it right now, but it lets the background sounds play out for the 13 seconds. Did you ever see them in concert, Mike? You know what? As much as I admire their catalog of music and enjoy them when they come on late at night when you're at the Phoenix and they throw on Closer and it's like fucking yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:19 Or Hurt. This is going to be a seven-hour episode. Well, we're going to start rocking here. But I would just say I never thought to buy a ticket. We'll be able to see cam eat the hot dog. Okay. All right. So set up,
Starting point is 01:25:31 set up your second fucking jam stew. Sure. Um, this is, uh, very sexy. And this goes out to all the FOS is out there that are feeling kind of sexy right now.
Starting point is 01:25:44 And they feel like if Stu puts on a jam to win this round, to make them feel even sexier, if that's even possible, this would be, you know, this is the magic. This is the magic sauce right here, Mike. This is the magic. That made no sense. I'm saying the FOSs out there that are feeling sexy, that want to feel sexier,
Starting point is 01:26:02 I'm going to do it from right here. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up. Oh, baby, now let's get down tonight. Ooh. Baby, I'm hot just like an oven. I need some loving And baby I can't hold it much longer It's getting stronger and stronger
Starting point is 01:26:36 And when I get that feeling I want sexual healing Sexual healing Oh baby Talk to us, Stuart. You're listening to a, this is how you win in a game like this. You put on Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye. Not to be confused with one of Cam's favorite songs, Shake You Down by Gregory Abbott. This is Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye.
Starting point is 01:27:17 Very ahead-of-his-time artist. And even more so, I think this song is a real masterpiece. I got to be honest with you because, you know, this song was made in 1981, produced and written by Marvin, and you listen to the production, and it's so awesome, and it's like ahead of its time just in the production of it. It just sounds so fresh. You know, it doesn't sound dated.
Starting point is 01:27:42 It sounds still cool, still sexy. And you have contemporary artists like Miguel, who released that song Adorn, which is an awesome song, but it kind of is in this sort of vein as this song. And boy, Marvin Gaye, what a career. Ironically, he had to move to Belgium to write this song. You know, he was basically trying to run away from IRS problems, apparently. Why is that ironic? Well, it's just ironic that he wrote like he was in Motown and doing all these Motown. And then once he leaves America and moves to Belgium, that's when he writes Sexual Healing. And, you know, this is his first release, not on Motown.
Starting point is 01:28:21 And it's kind of ironic that like his most sort of successful American solo contemporary stuff for his career, he recorded and was inspired by stuff that wasn't even happening in America. That's ironic. And I'm Alan Cross. How about the fact that this song went to number two in Belgium?
Starting point is 01:28:40 Did it go higher or lower in the Price is Right game? The song was recorded in belgium okay went to number two on the chart there yeah did it go higher than number two or lower than number two in canada oh in canada uh good question i'm gonna say it went to number one in canada so higher cam he says lower he's chewing on a hot dog. Actual retail price, it went to number one in Canada. Yeah, baby. The line is two, okay?
Starting point is 01:29:09 The line is two. How about in the United States? The Billboard Hot 100. Number two in Belgium. Did it go higher? Did it go to number one or did it go to number three? I'm going to double up on higher. I think it went to number one on the US.
Starting point is 01:29:24 What's number one? Cam? He's choking on a hot dog. It's like that scene in Field of Dreams. Actual retail price, number three in the US. Whoa, I'm wrong. Yeah. That joke, I don't want to laugh at this joke.
Starting point is 01:29:39 I laughed a little when I saw Canada Kev's comment, but it's, come on, Canada Kev. Canada Kev says it's too bad he couldn't escape his dad. But that's so tragic, the end of... The end of... Rolling Stone magazine, of course, calls this... This is on the list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, Mike. It's a big jam. Let's do a deep dive episode and cover that list of 500 songs.
Starting point is 01:30:03 Yeah, let's do it right after this. Yeah. You know, you think of Marvin Gaye, you think of Motown, you think of that signature sort of sound. This is a big departure from that. And, you know, Michael Jackson, in some ways, was also kind of doing the same thing right around this time. A little bit after Marvin Gaye, I'd say,
Starting point is 01:30:20 after the sexual healing success, maybe Michael was inspired and was like, hey, I could do something on my own that's different than what I do. Well, there's a sexy guy, Michael Jackson, for sure. So, you know, there you have it. Marvin Gaye, sexual healing. Give the round to Stu Stone. Well, I think you got the round
Starting point is 01:30:35 because David, sorry, Double D, David Drolet, says, great pick, and that's for the win, he says, hashtag FOSS. I have a trivia question for you guys. What grunge band covered sexual healing on the No Alternative compilation?
Starting point is 01:30:54 What grunge band? Mudhoney. Soul Asylum, yes. I should have known it was not going to be a real grunge band. By the way, I'm going to just promote the fact that when I had Jay Brody and Roddy Colmer in the backyard, we kicked out the grunge. Really good companion piece to the Pandemic Friday where we kicked out the grunge. And I asked them, is Soul Asylum grunge?
Starting point is 01:31:18 And we had a very lengthy discussion. Ask specifically about the song that somebody just showed? Just listen to the episode, Stu. It's all in there. Check the liner notes. Shout out to Neil, a.k.a. Brother Bill, for sharing the clip of Soul Asylum at the Edge in 1993. I don't know if you guys listened to that.
Starting point is 01:31:39 This is like so nerdy, but the interesting part I thought about that clip, that must have been been amongst the final days they were in Brampton. I was surprised they were still in Brampton in 1993. Because they moved to Bathurst and Bloor for some shows, but not all shows. I feel like only
Starting point is 01:31:55 live in Toronto and some key shows like that are at Bathurst and Bloor, but the rest are still in Brampton, I think. Just these stories of Soul Asylum and the Beautiful South and all these bands driving to Brampton to be think. Just these stories of like, you know, Soul Asylum and the Beautiful South and all these bands driving to Brampton to be on the radio. It just, it seems almost unimaginable.
Starting point is 01:32:10 Come on. How old was Marvin Gaye when his dad shot him dead? I feel like he was in his forties. Am I right about that? I know I could Google this. Yeah, that's like mid forties maybe, if I were to guess. I hate it.
Starting point is 01:32:22 I mean, nobody should die in their mid forties from a gunshot wound that their dad fired at them. But I really... Ideally. I know. Remember, he just reached before that, he kicked ass with the Star Spangled Banner, right? Remember, he did that All-Star game,
Starting point is 01:32:35 that NBA All-Star game. Yeah. And it was like kind of the start of the MTV age. 44 years old. 40 fucking 40. That's younger. I don't know about you guys. You might not be there yet. I can't remember.
Starting point is 01:32:46 But I am past 44. I can't believe it. And that! And that was a great pick, Stu. Are you ready, Cam, for your next pick? Since I've been told this episode's going too long. Too many special guests. Yeah, and short intro.
Starting point is 01:33:01 I think this is the first track we're going to hear that wasn't actually a single, but I bet a lot of folks listening to this will know and love this song, and if not this song, specifically this band, who we've talked about a lot over the episodes. I'm tired, so tired I'm tired of having sex so tight I'm spread so thin I don't know who I am Who I am Monday night I'm making gin Tuesday night I'm making men What a jam. What a jam.
Starting point is 01:34:26 Yeah, so Tired of Sex, first opening track on the sophomore Weezer album, Pinkerton. This song actually predates that album. It's apparently a very early track that Rivers Cuomo wrote, but didn't quite make the cut for the subtitle, the Blue Album, but did make the cut to lead off the much-loved Pinkerton album
Starting point is 01:34:50 that famously, I don't think we have to hash that over, hash pipe that over, as it were. It was kind of a flop at the time, but it's become, I wouldn't even say a cult favorite, just like it's sort of a favorite. People seem to love that album. Did you guys, are you a fan? I think it's the first time it came out.
Starting point is 01:35:10 Yeah. But I do know what that, that reference, that's sort of like the Paul's boutique thing where it's like, initially you're like, Oh, this isn't the same as that. And then the little time goes on and you're like,
Starting point is 01:35:18 Oh, it might be better. Well, say, say what you, what's on your mind, Stu. Oh,
Starting point is 01:35:24 the blue album is a classic album, a listen-through album, and it's their best album. So, I mean, Pinkerton might have a lot of street cred now, but let's not take away that it's not better than the Blue Album. A lot of people think Pinkerton's better than the Blue Album. I actually prefer the Blue Album. Yeah, because you're right. Shout out to Mark Teo, who kicked out the jams on Toronto Mic'd and kicked this jam out.
Starting point is 01:35:47 And if he said otherwise, he's wrong. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. I will say this about Pinkerton. I never really understood why everyone suggested it was so different than the Blue album. Because you would hear a lot of emo bands. You would hear Jimmy World and Dashboard Confessionals and
Starting point is 01:36:07 AFI, that whole generation of bands saying what a formative album Pinkerton was and how it was just so unique and it was this tortured... I think it was sort of the mythology around that album. But there's no Buddy Holly. I mean, El Scorcho was almost there. It was a really big single, El Scorcho. I don't think they were trying to do another Buddy Holly. Well, no, yeah, right. But a lot
Starting point is 01:36:23 of people wanted another Buddy Holly. We don't need those were trying to do another Buddy Holly. Well, no, yeah, right, but a lot of people wanted another Buddy Holly. We don't need those fans. Yeah, but think of this song, Tired of Sex. This would not have been out of place. This song kicks ass. This is straight up riffs, all the things we know and love about Weezer. I don't understand why this album was so positioned as
Starting point is 01:36:40 being difficult. It's their second best album, Pinkerton. Oh, no, I agree. It is their second best. But I will say, if you're going to look for hits, like if you're actually looking for hits, there was like one hit on Pinkerton and there were several... Because on the Blue album, it's not even about hits.
Starting point is 01:36:55 The non-hits were still hits. Yeah, sure, like Jonas. My name is Jonas. It's like 32 minutes long. It's an easy listen. But you have the Sweater song, whatever that's called, Come Undone or whatever that's called. Say It Ain't So. Say It Ain't So.
Starting point is 01:37:09 You have Buddy Holly. What am I missing from this? My name is Jonas. But that wasn't a big hit. That wasn't a single, I guess. No. In the garage. In the garage.
Starting point is 01:37:18 Surf Wax USA. Surf Wax USA. Several radio hits. As I remember listening to 102.1 at the time, I could be wrong. I've been wrong before. I only remember one song from Pinkerton getting a lot of radio airplay.
Starting point is 01:37:31 There was a song, The Good Life. I think that was the second single, which was kind of like a meh. What's the song? You can grab it. You can... That's a Weezer song? Is it like Steve Miller? You can... Because everybody wants a devil. That's a Weezer song?
Starting point is 01:37:47 Is it like Steve Miller? If you're down with pee, because you're down with me. That's the Rendles. I know. Thank you, Michael. Final fun fact. I only saw...
Starting point is 01:38:01 Shush. I'll mute him. Don't worry. Thank you. Okay, he's done. I only saw We Shush. I'll mute him. Don't worry. Thank you. Come on. Okay, he's done. I only saw Weezer once. It was actually on the tour for this album. They played at the Phoenix Concert Festival.
Starting point is 01:38:15 Phoenix Concert Festival. Phoenix Concert Theater. They opened with this track. Massive mosh pit. The whole Phoenix. Everyone fucking lost their shit. This is like right before Matt Charm. Dude, I was there. I fucking lost their shit. This is like right before Matt Sharp. Dude, I was there.
Starting point is 01:38:25 I was there. Whoa. Okay. Were you like running the booth outside selling, you know, toss the ring, the ring toss game outside there? I get it because of the fucking Rolling Stones Steel Wheels tour that I said I listened to at the grandstand. And you said it was Skydome.
Starting point is 01:38:42 Skydome. Anyway, Matt Sharp, who left Weezer, I think in 1996 on this tour and never came back, actually would sometimes play this song in concert later on. Most famously in 2008 he performed a version of this song
Starting point is 01:38:58 we haven't even said the name, Tired of Sex with Cannazone, Tegan and Sarah playing a synthesizer. In 2008, Matt Sharp joined them for a cover. Purple Triangle is the song Stu's singing. If you want it, you can And that's courtesy of Ian Service
Starting point is 01:39:14 who's This is a Weezer song, Stu's singing. If you want it. Yeah. I don't know if I was recording yet, but do you remember earlier, Cam, when I said something like, not so good, Al, when I was recording yet, but do you remember earlier, Cam, when I said something like, not so good, Al, when I was talking about Stu's audio? That's
Starting point is 01:39:29 from the fucking Buddy Holly video. By the way, your headphones, is that all remedied? You broke all your headphones? So I had to take two pairs to my audio dealer on Judson so he could fix them. He's repairing them right now. Shout out to Paul. But think of the odds.
Starting point is 01:39:45 Think about this. I've been doing this for right now. Shout out to Paul. But think of the odds. Think about this. I've been doing this for nine years. Shout out to Craig Northey. So nine years I'm doing Toronto Mic. You with me? Yes, yes. In one 1236 fucking episode,
Starting point is 01:39:57 which is almost three hours long, I break two pairs of headphones during that episode. The day before, I have two people going in the backyard. So my four is down to two and the very next day I need three. What were the fucking odds? I will say this, if you were going to bust up some headphones any episode,
Starting point is 01:40:16 it would either be a 1236 episode of Pandemic Fridays or a Hebsey episode because I feel like that's, those are your people. You get so fired up with all the fun facts and all the memories and the nostalgia
Starting point is 01:40:27 and the frenetic pace of these shows. I'm not surprised. If you were to break headphones, it would happen during a 12-week season. I misread the Ian Service chat. He seems to be saying, If You Want It is the name of that song, which would make sense.
Starting point is 01:40:39 It sounds like it should be called If You Want It. Who sings like, If you want it, come and get it is it's the beatles isn't it oh no it's bad bad finger if you want it here it is coming i think it's bad bad finger not john lennon the 27 club if you want it it is come and get it is it george harrison okay fotm please fact check that. Okay, somebody fact check. Where the fuck is... Actually, VP of sales warned me
Starting point is 01:41:08 he couldn't make it today. Okay, so, Tired of Sex. I would just argue it's an anti-sex song. Like, it's not a sex jam. It's the opposite. It's also what MF says to Kim.
Starting point is 01:41:20 Oh, stop it. How dare you? You want me to kick out my third jam? Yeah. It's a little different. Here we go. When I think about you I think about love Darling I don't live without you
Starting point is 01:41:54 And your love If I had Those golden dreams of my yesterday, I would wrap you in the heaven. On the way Feel like making love Feel like making love Feel like making love Feel like making love Feel like making love to you Bad Company. Good fake finish there. Feel like making love.
Starting point is 01:43:00 Fake finish. That's for later tonight, Cammie. Come on now. Okay. This is from 1975. Bad Company's album was called Straight Shooter. I think Stu would do well at this game. Do you want to guess?
Starting point is 01:43:15 Because Bad Company is a super group. So the members, I'll give you the names and then if you can guess what bands they came from before Bad Company. Okay. So the members of Bad Company, Paul Rogers, Mick Ralphs, Boz Burrell,
Starting point is 01:43:31 and Simon Kirk. Starting with lead vocalist, Paul Rogers. What band was he in prior to Bad Company? Well, I'll say Deep Purple, but I think I'm just thinking of the Tawny Katane. Yes. Well, I say deep purple, but I think I'm just thinking of the Tawny Katane. Yes. And again, I was thinking
Starting point is 01:43:51 of her when you mentioned Samantha Fox because they're kind of the same era sex symbol for us AstraZeneca getters. You know what I mean? Totally. I was the one complaint I have about last episode, 1236, more Chuck Finley. Paul Rogers doesn't he sing for Queen after Freddie passed away? I mean, that's obviously after the fact.
Starting point is 01:44:10 So do you know? I can help you out here. This is mid-70s stuff. Sometimes I flake out on it because I didn't live it. But Paul Rogers was in the band Free. Which was also a... Was that a super group too? Free? They were like All Right Now, right? right yes that's their big jam all right now i didn't think they were a super group uh i don't think so but
Starting point is 01:44:32 they were a london band in late 60s early 70s uh all right now blind i think i'm thinking of blind faith blind faith super group so okay so that's paul rogers what did Mick Ralphs, he was the lead guitarist, what band did he come from? This is hard. Yeah, it's tough because it's like, who talks about Bad Company anymore? Although this jam's a good sex jam. Are they all British?
Starting point is 01:44:56 Yes. Manfred Mann's Earth Band. That's a good guess. Any guess, Stu? I don't have a guess. Mott the Hoople. Wow. Oh.ott the Hoople. Wow. Oh. All the young dudes. All the young dudes, of course.
Starting point is 01:45:09 The Bowie thing. Huck Rock. Right. Bass guitarist, Boz Burrell. That's a great name, Boz. Boz Burrell. What band did he come from? Boz Burrell. Boz Skaggs. That's a good guess. This is not the Yacht Rock. King Crimson.
Starting point is 01:45:25 Wow. All these bands King Crimson. Wow. All these bands are quite different. Right. And I'll just... Simon Kirk, I won't even make you guess, but he's a drummer. He also came from Free. What was that, Stu? Can I blow your mind?
Starting point is 01:45:37 Of course. Are you sitting down? Yes. So, I was recently on your website uh toronto mic.com yes uh on a post of toronto mic.com forward slash 2021 forward slash 054 slash blue slash blockers slash sunglasses slash wrap forward slash oh yeah the blue blocker wrap i was down this rabbit hole yesterday yes and so my name is geek and i walk the streets and man you are in for a shocker when you wear your blue blockers float like a butterfly sting like a bee man these blue blockers look good on
Starting point is 01:46:10 me you know what i'm talking about of course i do i wrote this entry yes first of all geek uh the man on the street geek who from the blue blockers rap not only has he passed away unfortunately but he was a on an episode of blowing up with jamie kenzie we i was uh that was it like an inside joke that nobody i thought i would have got it i yeah i thought that having him on would get people would be like oh my god it's the blue blockers rapper guy because stew and i think you might have had a similar experience it sounds like but how many nights did i just channel surfing back in the day i would find the blue blocker infomercial and i always stopped and listened to his rap yeah it was either the blue blockers or the pick up the phone it was a prince of love guy yeah that's what i'm talking about yeah but the blue blocker guy when you go you get these on the tv like it sounds like
Starting point is 01:47:05 he's improvising his rap in real time it was really impressive to me he was he would like literally when i was living in los angeles listen to your me how about this i would be walking i would go down to like venice beach with like friends and we're just like walking down and one day who do i see geek on the street doing like you drop a quarter in the bucket and he's like he's like stew is wearing a shoe and he comes down and he's rocking with his crew he's like just busking do we have an equivalent is there a toronto equivalent to that as a like a like the okay blue jays drum guy on the outside i thought you might say xanthan i'm like no we have problems then uh but yeah street busker so what happened was i think he was like kind of screwed over like We have problems. Ben Kerr? Yeah, Ben Kerr. Good one. Street Buster.
Starting point is 01:47:45 So what happened was I think he was kind of screwed over. They just were going. They were on Venice Beach putting the sunglasses on people, and then they threw a quarter in his bucket, and he did the whole wrap, and he probably got whatever they threw in the bucket. But they gave him the glasses too. Yeah, they gave him the glasses,
Starting point is 01:48:02 and then he became sort of a cult hero from the commercial, but he never got paid because 20 some odd years later, he was still on Venice Beach. So that's where I saw him. And I was like, hey, we need to film something with him. Like people will freak out. And then we had him on and nobody freaked out. Wow.
Starting point is 01:48:19 See, that's, you think of like a modern version of that. I think of, you know, that TikTok viral guy with the ocean spray on the skateboard. And that guy now has a house because everyone can get in touch with that guy now. Like, you know, this at the time was sort of before everyone's fully connected with the social medias. Nobody knew what I was talking about. I'm like, it's the blue blockers rap guy. And they're like, the what now? I'm like, you guys don't know this?
Starting point is 01:48:43 If you know, you know, right? It's know right it's like if you know you know yeah hey did we ever uh like uh clarify that uh if you want it was uh it's called come and get it that song i think it's come and get it if you want it let me bad finger it's bad finger oh if you want it, not to be confused with Bad Motor Finger. That's a whole different thing. Yeah, Bad Finger. Bad Finger, right. Which did have, like, ties to the Beatles. Like, we talked about them on the 27 Club.
Starting point is 01:49:14 Right. Bad Finger. We could have so many sex jam episodes, Mike. I mean, just to come up with five was very hard. I mean, songs like Do Me Baby by Bellevue DeVoe, that got Hanson. Sure. Are you setting up your third jam right now i'll make love to you uh boys to men right but you know it's like dana medina a funky cold medina who started us off with a madonna jam madonna really did open the doors in a lot of ways for these women's sexual empowerment
Starting point is 01:49:46 stuff that was going on there, where women were coming on the forefront, or I guess that's a weird use of words, but they were put on the forefront of this empowerment, and sex was no longer going to be something that only men could sing about. We're here to say,
Starting point is 01:50:02 we're here to talk about it too, and this is a song where women are talking about sex spinderella cut it up one time Come on. Let's talk about sex, baby. Let's talk about you and me. Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that make me. Let's talk about sex.
Starting point is 01:50:41 Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex. And now to the people at home or in the crowd, it keeps coming up anyhow. Don't decoy, avoid, or make void the topic. Because that ain't going to stop it. Now we talk about sex on the radio and video shows.
Starting point is 01:51:01 Many will know. Anything goes. Let's tell it like it is and how it could be. How it was and of course how it should be. I don't even want to bring it down. I like this song. Or do you want the chorus again? Here we go. Maybe. Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that make me. Let's talk about sex.
Starting point is 01:51:26 Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex. Let's talk about sex. Lucas, put the lid off there. Was there a group hotter than Salt-N-Pepa at that point? I mean, they had such a string of success with sexually suggestive songs like Shoop, I like Shoop. I want to Shoop, baby.
Starting point is 01:51:47 Push it real good. What a man. What a man. What a mighty good man. Shout out to En Vogue. Great sample on that. Let's talk about sex, which, of course, in Canada was called Let's Talk About Sex. Oh, Spinderella tweeted us, right?
Starting point is 01:52:04 Cam, in the early days when we used to get celebrities to tweet us, she tweeted us. Spinderella tweeted us, right? Cam, in the early days when we used to get celebrities to tweet us, she tweeted us. Spinderella and on both. That's right, yeah. So you never know. It could happen again. But I will say, I hear a bit of a mind blow right off the top of the, right off the bat.
Starting point is 01:52:19 Salt-N-Pepa is classified in the music world as a trio. Spinderella is officially a member. Of course we knew that, but when you think of salt and pepper, you probably think it's a duo salt and pepper, but actually it says salt and pepper, the trio from, and this trio was the first trio.
Starting point is 01:52:40 And this song was the first female trio. So it's very much a trio, but it was never called salt and peppa and spinderella uh the name of the group so a trio how about that it's a fun fact it's a fact song was actually uh came out right around the time that magic johnson came out saying that he had contracted the hiv virus in uh salt and pepper uh with this song which promoted safe sex um you know you know tlc started wearing condoms in their glasses after this and they had a bunch of suggestive songs as well and i feel like just channeling my little bill
Starting point is 01:53:20 i want to talk to you. But yeah, let's talk about sex, guys. The song went to... Let me pick a country to start this off with here. This is going to surprise you guys. All right. Well, it went to... Let's talk. I mean, it went to number one in Germany.
Starting point is 01:53:43 Let's talk about charts. All right. Hey, you sound good right now, Stu. So whatever your setup is right now, it sounds really good. My setup right now, I'm going to set this up. In Europe, this song went to number two. In the country of Europe? Sorry, in the continent of Europe. At the Euro Chart Hot 100, it went to number two.
Starting point is 01:54:04 Did it go higher or lower in Canada? Number one jam in Canada. Yeah. I agree. This is going to surprise you guys. Did not chart. Salt-N-Pepa, Let's Talk About Sex went to number
Starting point is 01:54:19 24 in Canada. Bullshit. You know why? Canada always preferred rock to the R&B stuff in the rap. But this song was on everywhere. April Wine was much higher rated than that. April Wine, to their credit, quite a show at the
Starting point is 01:54:36 Whiskey at Go-Go parking lot. There was hot dogs. There was a dunk tank. You know, I don't want to... Sincerely, if sincerely, like, if I find out, if I get free tickets to an April Wine Show in the summer of 2022, I'm fucking there, and I'm going to fucking love it
Starting point is 01:54:51 because there's so many hits. Hopefully it's at the Whiskey Parking Lot again because that was quite the bash. Might be in my backyard. There was a dunk tank. Did the song chart higher or lower in the United States on the US Hot 100 Billboard? Number one in the U.S.
Starting point is 01:55:07 They love their R&B. Cam? Sorry, higher or lower than 24? On the number two. Oh, lower. Because you think it was number one. Correct. Okay.
Starting point is 01:55:20 Actual retail price for Salt-N-Pepa, the trio with the smash hit, Let's Talk About Sex, the U.S. Hot 100 Billboard charts, number 13. This song was barely a hit. Yeah. I'm shocked by that. Like, I thought this was a number one. Now, it was number one in a lot of countries. Australia, Austria, Belgium. There a number one. Now, it was number one in a lot of countries. Australia, Austria,
Starting point is 01:55:46 Belgium, there it is again, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Zimbabwe. I mean, this song took Psalm and Pippa around the world. But in Canada and the United States, it didn't even
Starting point is 01:56:02 crack the top 10. That surprises me because this was such a big hit. Remember the secondary song, Let's Talk About AIDS. Right. Like they did a version. That didn't chart. That didn't chart. Big jam.
Starting point is 01:56:17 I got to say, I still remember the kind of stumbling. I mean, when you first get exposed to Push It, thinking, what a fucking jam this is. It was like, whoa, but your brain opens up to all these different sounds. Baby, baby. Yeah, it's just, you know, that and what's the Mars song? Pump Up the Volume.
Starting point is 01:56:42 I thought that they were so ahead of their time, too, because the other girl emcees at the time wasn't anything like that. I mean, Salt-N-Pepa Push It was like, holy shit, this is great. They were on it.
Starting point is 01:56:57 Yeah, they were revolutionary, but I just want to shout out early adopters there. I want to shout out L.A. Love and Mishy Mee, who were really early in the game for woman and rap. Weren't they J.J. Fad? I'm trying to think who else, like in the 80s at least of that female.
Starting point is 01:57:16 MC Light, Queen Latifah. Right. Well, there she is. Yeah, Queen Latifah. Moni in the middle. Right. Moni Love. Yes? Moni in the middle. Right. Moni Love. Yes, Moni Love. Nina Cherry.
Starting point is 01:57:30 Buffalo Stance. Is that hip-hop? She was a rapper. It was Shake Your Body. That was an insult. Yeah, Ya Kid K. That's Technotronic. Right.
Starting point is 01:57:39 Technotronic, yeah. And they opened again. They opened for, was it Madonna? For Matt Dana. Matt Dana, right, right right big jam there well done stewart uh well done now rage final round here so uh here we are i don't know where we are time wise if we made up the time by busting here but here's our final jams uh do you want to say anything before i kick out your final jam mr gordon uh no because i can't forget what it is now all right well you're gonna be as surprised
Starting point is 01:58:09 as anybody here we go i've got notes okay oh are you gonna blow our mind i'm surprised i didn't get a mind blow. I need to have a bomb. Hey girl, ain't no mystery. At least, as far as I can see. I want to keep you here. Laying next to me, sharing our love between the sheets. Ooh, baby, baby.
Starting point is 01:59:04 Okay, so of course, this is the originators, the Isley brothers, Between the Sheets. Ooh, baby. Heavily sampled song that we all know, and
Starting point is 01:59:20 Between the Sheets, that's where the fucking happens. We'll just be blunt about it. It's not about sex. I'm just saying. I think the... I think... I love it when you call me Big Pop.
Starting point is 01:59:35 Where else do we know this from? Oh yeah, well for sure, Biggie. Big Papa. And also a song we heard very, very, very early during Pandemic Fridays. Our run, Funktified by Dap Bratz. Speaking of female
Starting point is 01:59:51 rappers. Speaking of female rappers. It sure is in Funktified. I just want to shout out Unskinny Bop. Unskinny Bop Between the Sheets as I recall. Unskinny Bop. Unskinny Bop.
Starting point is 02:00:09 Other people have sampled the song include kata's only own drake jay-z lowane the game chance the rapper alia the late great alia and the late great whitney houston as well um i i don't actually believe this but we've debated who's the greatest American band of all time, right? The Eagles. Yeah, is it the Eagles? Is it the Beach Boys? Is it TCR? Are you about to say the Isley Brothers? I'm not saying the Isley Brothers are, but I'd be willing to
Starting point is 02:00:38 listen to someone put together an argument just in terms of how long these guys have been around. When did this song come out? This song is from the 80s, actually. It's from 1983. So this kind of reminds me of like how, and I say this with all due respect, Kim, but how the Marvin Gaye song that I had played earlier
Starting point is 02:00:56 was sort of like Marvin Gaye breaking out of that sort of Motown sound, soul sound, and going into this sort of more modern, sexy. This is their kind of version of that. I think that's a great parallel. And right around the same time, soul sound and going into this sort of more modern sexy this is their kind of version of that i think that's a great uh parallel and right around the same time because that sexual i was to say sexual chocolate sexual healing is what 82 81 yes yes yes because i remember there's like a video for that song and stuff so yeah this is 1983 um didn't make the billboard charts aside from the r&b charts where it was the number three hit um did okay in the uk was number 52 on their overall chart um just because we're here and
Starting point is 02:01:34 we're in a pandemic i will point out again that uh i always thought very strangely the isley brothers played the sars fest with the Rolling Stones in ACDC. Thought they did too. Yeah. So the set list that day, a lot of covers. So they opened with Fight the Power, their song, not the Public Enemy song. A cover of I Want to Take You Higher, would they sort of remember? It's Your Thing. It's Your Thing.
Starting point is 02:02:02 Do what you want to do. Exactly. A cover of a song called Put Yourself in My Place, which I don't know. That Lady. Who's that lady? Cover of Seals and Crofts, Summer Breeze. You know, you're out at Downsview Park, Summer Breeze, we've all got fucking stars.
Starting point is 02:02:19 And then they closed it out. And I feel like Dan Aykroyd might have come out for this because I feel like he was there. Shout. Big Buffalo Bills anthem. Yeah. And of course, shout out to... Middle of the afternoon at Saris Fest.
Starting point is 02:02:33 I always thought it was kind of weird. Big Animal House jam. Now wait for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Otis Day. Otis Day. Otis, yeah. He's the artist in Animal House, I think.
Starting point is 02:02:46 Otis Day. And then let's go to the legal file. The Lord Honickman. The Lord Honickman. Ronald Isley. I did not know this. He spent three years in jail starting in 2006 for tax evasion. Of course.
Starting point is 02:03:03 Of course. Like Wesley Snipes. There you go. Shout Like Wesley Snipes. There you go. Shout out to Snipes. Do you have the option to pay that fine eventually? Or it's just jail for sure? When does it get to jail time when you can't pay it? I would assume you still owe the money when you come out.
Starting point is 02:03:20 It's not like, oh, you paid your debt to society. It's like, well, you still owe money like people need their money because that might be a good deal like i'd rather do the time than give you the two million dollars is that what i'm saying is that what it is like when you go to jail is that you instead of paying the fine you can either pay this or you can go to jail well i feel like on a micro level this is the whole debate with these uh quarantine hotels like some people are opting to pay the fine versus go to jail although you have to pay to go to jail with those so i guess it's a terrible analogy all right so come on what's your definition of dirty baby what do you call pornography that's a jam okay I have my final jam now
Starting point is 02:04:06 that was a great uh an inspired choice Cam I didn't see that coming but I'm shocked you think there's a good argument that that's the greatest American band of all time I'm not saying it is I'm just saying you know I feel like why not the offspring greatest fucking American band of all time
Starting point is 02:04:22 like the offspring have some good songs put together an argument you Send over a PowerPoint. Let's hash it out. We should have a debate over which bands with brothers in it are the best. The Isley Brothers, Hanson, Casey and Jojo.
Starting point is 02:04:38 Kings of Leon. Nelson. New Kids on the Block. Didn't they have two brothers? No. Oh, yes, they did. Yes, they did. You know why? I thought you were suggesting
Starting point is 02:04:52 Marky Mark was in there. What about Toto? What about love? Wait, wait, wait. Say that again. Cam, say that again. What about love? What a fucked up song. Damn, Mike.
Starting point is 02:05:17 What about love? Same band. I mean, you get to play divinals, I touched myself? This is more like making love jams than a sex song. Hold your fire, Stu. So I pulled up alongside And I offered him a ride He accepted with a smile So we drove for a while I'm gonna ask him his name
Starting point is 02:06:02 There's This lonely boy In the rain Hey, tell me it's right Is this love at first sight Please don't make it wrong Just stay for the night All I wanna do is make love to you Say you will you want me to all i want to do is make love to you
Starting point is 02:06:32 see cam broke into a heart song it's. I heard a heart song just out of nowhere and then I had to go into my heart song finale here. Okay. This, of course, if you don't know, if you're too young to remember, this is... Yeah, that's right. This is Barracuda. This is All I Want to Do is Make Love to You. It is
Starting point is 02:06:59 a heart song from their 1990 album Brigade. We're listening to the very last top 10 hit that Heart would have in their illustrious career. This is it. This song has a bit of Jim Steinman in it. I know it's not, but... Well, you won't believe who it is.
Starting point is 02:07:16 Okay, well, that was going to be a reveal. Well, I'm going to tell you now, and then I'll play the original later. But who do you think... Ryan Adams. Whose song is this? That's a good guess. Right? This is a good guess. Brian, this is a good guess?
Starting point is 02:07:26 Bonnie Tyler. This is not a heart song, okay? This was going to be a mind blow, but I'll just tell you now and I'll play it later. This is a cover. This song is a cover. Who wrote the original? That blows my mind. This is a cover. I got a picture, like, who would sing that?
Starting point is 02:07:41 All I want to do is make love to you. Is it, like like a country artist? Yeah, I was going to say like Travis Treader. Who said Brian Adams? I did. I feel that's close. I think you're on the right. Bruce Allen.
Starting point is 02:07:54 You're close. Keep going. Keep going. Is it a Canadian? No. But married a Canadian. Oh. Married a Canadian.
Starting point is 02:08:04 A very famous Canadian. Oh. Married a Canadian. A very famous Canadian. Oh, snap. Janet Jones. That's a great guess. Oh, by the way, also earlier you talked about how Madonna kind of, everybody's been talking about Madonna, groundbreaking, women can own their own sexuality, which is wonderful, except shout out to FOTM Carol Pope, okay,
Starting point is 02:08:23 who was the OG when it comes to that shit, in my humble opinion. Totally. A lot of crotch grabbing. She was cream in her jeans before Madonna was doing Holiday. Okay. This song, I'm going to tell you because you didn't get it. This song was written by Mutt Lang.
Starting point is 02:08:38 Oh. Oh, okay. I see it. This version, the heart version we're listening to right now, it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Who wants to guess in 1990 what song cock-blocked it from the number one spot? It's appropriate considering what we've discussed at length today. You can't touch this.
Starting point is 02:09:03 It's got to be a Madonna song, maybe? It's a Madonna song express yourself very good guess strike a pose yeah well it was Vogue yeah Vogue
Starting point is 02:09:12 Vogue was number one song so this all I want to do is make love to you was kept out of the number one spot I mentioned it Leigh Haywood gave good face right I remember her she made an appearance on Arsenio Hall
Starting point is 02:09:24 I was watching it live and I remember she made a they did beep it out but she made an appearance on arsenio hall i was watching it live and i remember she made a they did beep it out but she said somebody i think arsenio said what does that mean gave good face and she said oh why do you think it means gave good head that was her response and they think they beeped out head that were in the mood your song pick here can you summarize the narrative of the lyrics? Is Madonna Vogue a rap song? It's rappy. She's not singing that. She only sings
Starting point is 02:09:51 the chorus, but the verses are like Let your body move to There's a bit of singing in there. The verse of the song is like Reda Graber, Anne Monroe, Beatrix and the Maslow. Yeah, that's rap. That's rap. Sure. This will kind of tie into what Cam's asking.
Starting point is 02:10:07 So that's the woman version, the female-led version of that song, All I Want to Do is Make Love to You. Now I'm going to play the original, again, written by Mutt Lang. Mutt Lang wanted this to be performed by Don Henley. Oh, I like that. He turned him down, so Henley wouldn't do this show.
Starting point is 02:10:24 So it went to a chap, Dobie Gray, and he's a dude, as you know. You ain't a b-boy, man. Right. Here is the original. You ready? Here you go. Mind blow. Spit that doobie down.
Starting point is 02:10:46 Oh, yeah, this is Y'all Rock, right, Stu? So far. All I want to do is make love to you There's a million things that we could do And darling, I just just wanna do them with you So a little different, clearly different lyrics and a different take on it,
Starting point is 02:11:11 but this is a Mutt Lang jam that Dobie Gray recorded. Who'd have thunk it that all I wanna do is make love to you by heart was a cover. When is that jam from? That recording.
Starting point is 02:11:22 Okay, I think it was 79. I didn't put it in my notes. I should have put it in my fucking notes, but it was something like 1979. By the way, could someone grab a screen cap, but look at like me and Stu Johanson. Now that I'm normal light,
Starting point is 02:11:35 like we're like identical. It's like the same color. All right. You ready? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on me. Although I want the one of Dana in it
Starting point is 02:11:46 but okay three ready Stu three two one killjoys I love that jam this has very different lyrics because I mean the hard version is about having sex with a drifter in a seedy motel and then years later discovering very different.
Starting point is 02:12:07 He's like a deadbeat dad, but it's interesting. They, they radically changed the lyrics, but there's only a one single writing credit for the heart version. And that belongs to Mutt Lang. So, uh,
Starting point is 02:12:16 interesting. They don't get a co-writing credit on that. Okay. Stu start setting up the year finale here. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm about to play a very successful group. You guys might know them as
Starting point is 02:12:27 Sunshine and Broccoli. This is not Sunshine and Broccoli. This is... Wait, stop the music. Stop the music. Stop the music! Stop the rock and roll! I forgot to do something. Okay. So, I mentioned last week that there
Starting point is 02:12:43 was a friend of Broccoli's dad that listens to every episode of Toronto Mike. I got an email from this gentleman. I want to say hello to Tim. Tim is the guy who listens to every, he's listening right now. And he let Broccoli's dad know that Sunshine and Broccoli were, were shouted out on Toronto Mike.
Starting point is 02:13:00 But then I, of course, Tim, I want to say, and it's not Ian service. It's a real Tim, was at TMLX6. So Tim was in Marie Curtis Park that
Starting point is 02:13:09 fateful day of TMLX6. Like he was hanging out with you guys? Like he came for TML, no, he wasn't lurking. He was there as a part of the, he had a Great Lakes beer with us in the circle of shit. The circle of trust. Mike, just before we go on,
Starting point is 02:13:24 do you know, is that heart song, does that qualify as cam con? No. Probably not. Bob will let explain this to me. I don't think so. It also shouldn't qualify for songs about sex because again, it's a making love song.
Starting point is 02:13:39 I think making love jams is a whole different category. Stu, Stu. It's sex. Stu. Bumping and grinding and category. Stu. Stu. Sex. Bumping and grinding and thugging. That's Stu. Sometimes you have sex and sometimes you make love. Okay, but this was called
Starting point is 02:13:51 sex jams, not called make love jams. So I got making love is reserved for Cam and MF in a tent and we're talking about songs about Mike and Monica. This is more Is this you? Are you setting up your final jam?
Starting point is 02:14:07 I am. I'm setting up my final jam. Now, listen, the envelope was absolutely pushed by this next band. This, I got to tell you, like, as a youngster growing up in this era, when this group was popular, I couldn't get enough of this group. And the stuff that now now as an adult looking back and hearing their music back, I blush at the lyrics. They're so filthy.
Starting point is 02:14:32 I can't even believe that like grade four, grade five, me was like not punched in the face by adults for like singing these songs. But I was obsessed with it because it was just so dirty and so naughty and so incredible. And this is going to be a really big victory party. I'm going to victory lap with this song.
Starting point is 02:14:55 Number one, Fuck Jam. Here it comes. What do we get for $10? Everything you want. Everything. Everything. Don't do that, babe.
Starting point is 02:15:10 What am I going to do? You're a fucking chum. I got the black book I'm home, you see the real old fire Sitting at home with my dick apart So I got the black book for a freak to call Picked up the telephone, then dialed the seven digits Said, yo, it's Marquis, baby, are you down with it? I arrived at a house, knocked on the door Not having no idea of what the night had in store I'm like a dog in a heap A freak without a wound, not having appetite Problematic jams too
Starting point is 02:16:17 Of course there was a clean version of the song That was recorded as well But I mean if you didn't know all the words to this rap You weren't in life properly. But it's not the sex that's problematic as I listen to these ears. It's the sex is fine because it's sex is sex. It's the me so
Starting point is 02:16:33 horny Asian stereotype. Full Metal Jacket. So that's what that was at the time. Is that really from Full Metal Jacket? Yes. Full Metal Jacket? Yes. Sample from Full Metal Jacket. Yes.
Starting point is 02:16:48 Shout out to Stanley Kubrick. Now, the teen version of the song which most people heard because that was the version that would have been circulating more widely, when you heard the dirty version, it was shocking to hear the difference between the versions.
Starting point is 02:17:03 It is like literally two different songs. Like, the Miso Horny clean version is almost like this, like, you know, naughty party song. And the Miso Horny real version is like vulgar. It's just like so sexually explicit that, like, you can't even believe the lyrics that these guys were saying at the time. Right. And as a kid, you just thought it was great. And, you know, now as an adult, it that like you can't even believe the lyrics that these guys were saying at the time right
Starting point is 02:17:25 and as a kid you just thought it was great and you know now as an adult i would like not want my kids to listen to that and i kind of get it but at the time i was definitely on the side of luke skywalker uh and the two live crew uh you know in their battle against being banned in the usa well shout out to a tipper gore right this was a yeah so me so horny rap group two live crew nasty as they want to be they also had an album as clean as they want to be i mean these guys like sold you bought both copies you know it's like they just had so many big songs i mean they had somebody say hey we want some yeah that was a big one i thought you were gonna do face down a face down a uh that's the way we liked it could be fit it was like contraband right like illegal contraband you just wanted more of it because it was so
Starting point is 02:18:21 stew are you having difficulty I'm having difficulty focusing because of this twin the twins I see on zoom Sue Johansson and Cam Gordon like honestly separated at birth well that's actually that age app that's what Cam that's unbelievable that's unfucked I wish people anyone watching
Starting point is 02:18:38 at live.torontomike.com that's fucking unbelievable this is like the fifth place I've done this podcast. It's been going on for so I keep on moving around. I know. We're in the backyard. We're in the homestretch here, but there's some mind blows to come. Yeah, we're going to blow some minds real quick.
Starting point is 02:18:53 But before we do that, let's talk about this major hit, guys. This is a major hit and led to all sorts of, you know, this is one of those like good press, bad press. Bad press is good press. You know, as soon as this album started getting banned, all of a sudden this band exploded even more right now this song went to number nine in belgium higher or lower in the united states is this game gonna stick because it's not that good like hot 100 the u.s billboard hot 100 Where did Me So Horny chart at its peak? 29.
Starting point is 02:19:28 Tim? 19. 26. Oh, I was so close. However, on the US Billboard Hot Rap Tracks, a numero uno did not chart in Canada. Yeah, not surprised. A couple of mind blows to tell you about,
Starting point is 02:19:51 because I'm sure we'll hear 2 Live Crew in another episode, maybe down the line. But obviously you should look into it. Someone should do a documentary on the 2 Live Crew thing, because there was quite a stir going on there in Dade County and censoring them, and they were battling Al Gore. Was it Al Gore's wife? Tipper Gore, yeah, Tipper Gore.
Starting point is 02:20:10 And then, of course, they released a song called Fuck Martinez, where they shouted out the judge and the prosecutor and everybody in the song. These guys were sort of like the Lenny Bruce of rap music, I guess. I feel like this could be, yeah, like a six-part Netflix series, because Frank Zappa was involved in the stuff, and John Denver, and like a real
Starting point is 02:20:33 cast of characters. It could totally be like a deep dive. Zappa was great when he spoke about, yeah, he was fantastic. Very eloquent. Censorship thing in music, I think 2 Live Crew definitely... Well, maybe that's next week's topic. Who knows? Censorship and music.
Starting point is 02:20:47 All right, let's blow some minds. Let's throw out our first mind bowl there. Mike. There you go. Fire Cracker by Mass Production, the 1979 hit song. Fire Cracker by Mass Production
Starting point is 02:21:36 was the song sampled for two live crews hit Me So Horny. That's pretty cool, huh? Yeah, I was always curious what song they were sampling. Good to hear it. All right, let's go to Mind Blow number two there, Mike. Living.
Starting point is 02:21:56 Living. Living. What? What? What? Where is it? I know what this is. It's hot, you're kidding me?
Starting point is 02:22:04 And it's humid as hell. Where were you yesterday? Kicking in the mall just the other day. I was checking out the girlies and the schmucks in the toupees. It was time to get busy. It started getting dark. So we busted out the door onto the sidewalk. Walking back to the hotel from the bagel shop it was so damn humid
Starting point is 02:22:28 air was on us like a mop i was shredding like a mule i was frying like a blintz i was swimming in my shorts if you get the hint It's so humid It's so humid It's like a sauna in here It's so humid It's so humid Serious question. Are Cam and I allowed to laugh at this? Of course. Just checking. Comedic rap duo Two Live Jews
Starting point is 02:22:57 which actually had quite a success with this Oi It's So Humid and they had an album as kosher as they want to be featuring such hits as Oi It's So Humid and they had an album as kosher as they want to be. Featuring such hits as Oi It's So Humid, Young Jews Be Proud, and Shake Shake Shake, Shake Shake Shake, Shake Your Tuchus.
Starting point is 02:23:14 So that... This was a big... This must have charted this album. The video was definitely on Much Music. Two Live Jews, MC Moishe, and Easy Irving were the names of the rappers. It was like regular rotation or on like a specialty show? Probably like the comedy hour, like when Weird Al was on or something.
Starting point is 02:23:36 MC Moishe was played by Eric Lambert. And Easy Irving, Joe Stone. No relation. No relation. Not your name joey stone there you go two live jews they actually had two albums uh and then they actually had like six or seven albums they have wow they've not stopped putting out albums uh but i think people stopped listening after this uh a bit less culturally relevant yeah two live jews uh there you go culturally relevant.
Starting point is 02:24:02 Yeah, to live Jews. There you go. Meat, oi, it's so humid. And then we've got one last mind blow here, I think. Oh, my God. Okay, so let's start with this. He's so hungry. So, so hungry.
Starting point is 02:24:18 He's so hungry. Oh, you can't hear me. He's so hungry. So, so hungry. He's so hungry. Sir, because I was hungry, sir. He's so hungry. I'm so hungry. I'm so hungry. Because I was hungry, sir. I'm so hungry. I'm so hungry. So hungry was another
Starting point is 02:24:33 parody song that was put out around that time. So, you know, listen, you know that you're doing something right when people are putting out parody songs. You know, let's I think famously, was it Nirvana that was like, we knew we made it when Weird Al
Starting point is 02:24:48 did Smells Like Jesus? We didn't want him to do it, but at the same time, we knew we had arrived because he was doing it. So I think that, you know, 2 Live Crew, you know, once the parodies start coming out, and we're going off to Edmonton.
Starting point is 02:25:07 Who's Me So Hungry? Who sings that? That is by MC Pillsbury. Trademark pending. No patent pending. Let me get you the rest of it. That's like the tickle the tummy. Like, hee hee. Yeah. It was a big deal. Nothing says loving
Starting point is 02:25:21 like my new crescent rolls. Did you get that gig, Stu, or did you try it with me? Was it? Brilliant Monocular Telescope is taking the world by storm. What's that? What's that? That was me trying to pull up the facts on Me So Hungry, but I was... I want to hear more about the telescope.
Starting point is 02:25:41 It's so cool. So there you go. And that. All right. Well, let me just say a lot of interesting, like, variety on this Sex Jams. There's some lovemaking. There's some fucking. We could definitely do more.
Starting point is 02:25:52 We've got some ladies. Not only did we get a Dana Levinson cameo, but Monica showed up out of nowhere. Is there a sexy sequel to this? Well, we'll discuss. We'll see. At some point, I got to start counting down the weeks. Because now that we have a finite number of shows, I don't. We'll see. At some point, I've got to start counting down the weeks. Because now that we have a finite number of shows, I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 02:26:09 Is it like 15 shows left? And then we never speak to each other again. It's like, you know what it's like? Prisoners of War. It's all you have for this period of time. And then once you're free, it's like, I never want to see that fucker again. Also, a very difficult to beat Nintendo game, Prisoners of War.
Starting point is 02:26:27 Oh, yeah, right. There's a code, right? Even if you had a Game Genie or a Game Shark, you still couldn't beat it. Like that was one of those games, even with the cheat. Right. You couldn't beat it. No, guys, even when the pandemic Fridays come to an end, I'm hoping that we do this at least monthly.
Starting point is 02:26:46 Like, it'd just be fun to have a monthly... I think we only do it live in front of audiences. Ten bucks a ticket. Monetize that shit. And we'll sell some t-shirts. Paywall. Pandemic Friday t-shirts. I'm working on it.
Starting point is 02:26:58 Yes! Do you have any thoughts quickly on what you want next week's theme to be, or do we talk about it later? I have no thoughts. No what you want next week's theme to be? Or do we talk about it later? Uh, I have no thoughts. No thoughts. He's,
Starting point is 02:27:08 he's thoughtless about assholes. And that, and that brings us to the end of our, that remind Dana Levinson of sex. And that brings us to the end of our 848th show. Pandemic Friday. Our 61st Pandemic Friday. You can follow me on Twitter.
Starting point is 02:27:35 Now, what happens, Mike, if you get your second shot earlier than August? Does the show end earlier? Oh, great question. See, I'm of the opinion. I would rather, I want an AZ, or AZ, I guess, here. But they're talking about mixing and matching. I don't know about you, Cam, but I want another AZ. That's how I feel.
Starting point is 02:27:52 Yeah, I think we'll get there. I think Mr. Biden will send some stale, stale dated crap up here like he did last time. Best thing that happened to us was that election result. I think that's the best thing that happened for us. Okay. Certainly helpful. I'm on Twitter. I mentioned him at Toronto Mike.
