That was a near miss.

We just missed the downpour. You'd think I'd learn from my mistakes, but I started setting up, got excited. Stu and Cam were on their way, and then the skies opened up. Sorry, the macho man is lurking about here. What's his waist? What is his measurements? You know how they said

Barbie had an unnatural body type. Macho Man's got a very thin waist and monster thighs. 36, 24, 36. Only if she's 5'2". Whatever the line is. Shout out to Violent Femmes. Sir Mix-a-Lot. That's Sir Mix-a-Lot.

Oh, who was the Violent Femmes? 36, da-da-da-da-da-da. Oh, yeah, that as well. I guess that could qualify. I like American music. Yeah, that's Viol. I guess that could qualify. I like American music. Yeah, that's my favorite. So you had your big in-person event since the last time we saw you. Oh, yeah.

Okay, Stu, you had a good excuse. I hope you had a good New Year. Happy New Year, yes. That's right. Rosh Hashanah, yes. A glorious Rosh Hashanah. Thank you. Yeah, Cam, you had no excuse.

I had no real excuse, no. You just didn't show up? You know, they announced that day the limits were 25 people in a public park. When it comes to Mike, there's no limits. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah, so you set the over-under. You had a good over-under, Stu.

I'm going to give you a plus. Great handicapper. Because you said 19.5. 19.5 was the line. Yeah. A lot of people were pounding the under. Yeah. Even I put some money on the under.

And we were over. We were 22. That was quite the crowd. Was there anyone that was very surprising who showed up? Yeah. A couple of people made their first appearances at TMLXs. A gentleman named Andrew and Johnny O. Do you ever see Johnny O on Twitter?

So Johnny O works for the CRA. So you need to keep your FOTMs in high places. So that's a key one for me. Yeah. Shane Corson and Darcy Tucker watch out. I saw that. I saw that. So yeah,

he showed up, which was nice to see him. Like a lot of greats, like, you know, the James Edgar, James Edgar showed up. Jimmy showed up.

Mimico Joe Middleton showed up. I could up i could go on but she's the nice guy tom oh he did not show up mike ragonski who was the biggest asshole the biggest asshole there um it's probably me probably no i don't know michael lang was there he's a big fan of this asshole no he's a good guy i just asked who's the biggest leave a fumka and one were there there you go now we get to the bottom of the by the way how he's a good guy. I just asked who's the biggest asshole. Levi Fumka and Juan were there. Well, there you go. Now we get to the bottom of how you really feel. By the way, how do you know Jennifer Ettinger? Oh, her husband,

Mike Ettinger, is a... Is it Ettinger or Ettinger? He's actually six for six. Really? So, yeah. So, we call him Rush Mike. Okay.

Rush Mike is one of, like, I think I counted other than myself, four people, I think, in this exclusive club who have been to all six TMLX events. Wow. And Rush Mike is one of like i think i counted other than myself four people i think in this exclusive club who have been to all six tmlx events and rush mike is one of them okay yeah because i i know jennifer just through work just like through various i don't even really know jennifer except i don't think rush mike tweets so when rush mikes wants to communicate something to me on twitter i think he gets jennifer to do it okay very cool. Yeah, she's been to the Twitter Canada environment a few times.

Introduce me to... Yeah, she's nice. Riveting stuff, guys. She's nice. We're talking shop here, Stu. Oh, it's a big day. Shout out to Jennifer. Okay, so thank you.

She sounds like a lovely woman. Yeah, clearly a delight. So thank you to everyone who showed up at TMLX6. It was low-key in a park on a Friday night. It was cold out, although I felt pretty warm in my shorts, but I hear it was cold. And all this is to say that You usually feel warm in your shorts?

I did that night. I might want to see a doctor about that. I did that night. So I'm thankful. I would not have been shocked if five people showed up. A lot of people came out. We had a great time. One by one, we were in a big circle enjoying some

fresh craft beer from Great Lakes, discreetly. I understood you guys did a L'Chaim for the Jewish New Year. Yeah, we did shout out. I do humbly apologize to all my Jewish friends for having this event on Rosh Hashanah. That was an oversight on my part. I'll be more careful in the future. You can say

sorry to all your clients. Listen, we're having a big party on Ash Wednesday. We'll let you know. Go ahead. I'm a very careful in the future. You can say sorry to all your clients. We're having a big party on Ash Wednesday. We'll let you know. Go ahead. I'm a very happy atheist. I have music for this because I need to hear your thoughts on this. Let's listen to this. What a rush!

I would suspect that tonight's theme could be dedicated to the memory of these guys. Listen to this hard rock, but really, if you got to know them backstage, probably softies. Perfect for tonight's theme. Animal of the Legion of Doom, the Road Warriors, passed away this week, yesterday, depending on when you're listening to this a few days ago. If you're listening to this in a few weeks, it was a few weeks ago.

Real talk, though. It was yesterday. It was yesterday, and it was sad, obviously. 60 years old, very young, and it seems like we keep having to eulogize dead wrestlers. Is that very young or is that just young?

60 is young, man. That's young. But is it very young? That's very young. Does it get to very young? I would say I was very surprised to learn he was only 60 because it seems like the Legion of Doom have been out of our lives for... So they would have been like in their 20s probably.

60 is young. I don't know where you come from. No, I agree it's young. I just didn't know if it was very young. Listen, it's very old if we're living in like the year three. Like very young is like if you keeled over right now, I'd go, oh, Stu Stone, you're that very young. That would be extremely young.

Yeah. All right, I don't want to detract from the serious moment here. The most, you know, for wrestling fans to know, the Road Warriors, the Legion of Doom is one of the most feared tag teams. There's actual terms in the business, the Road Warrior Pop, which was, you know, that's how loud the building would get when these guys would come into the building.

They were... Is that like the Doobie Bounce? It's like the Doobie Bounce. These guys had the Road Warrior Pop. They came out with their face painted in Mohawks and originally fashioned after the Mel Gibson, Happy Jewish New Year to Him movie, The Road Warrior.

Yeah. And they took off. They became huge, huge superstars worldwide. And Hawk passed away a long time ago, unfortunately. And now Animal joins him. The toughest tag team in heaven. And very, very influential. Influenced.

Everybody. Demolition. Oh, Axl Smash. The Power of the Pain. I remember Axl Smash. Ultimate Warrior. Ultimate Warrior. Yeah. Stink. All the Stink Who were their main advertisers? The Four Horsemen

I picture them kicking the shit out of Arne Anderson Yeah, Ric Flair And then they came to WWE I remember they fought Money Inc Do you remember that? With Dibiase Erwin Arscheister Also works for the CIA.

Problematic characters there. Now, what I remember is that before they came to the WWF, as it was called at the time, that Axe and Smash was pretty much like your... I love Demolition. I'm a big Demolition guy. Are they with us? Demolition is like your Kirkland brand. No, no, no. How dare you?

Demolition is... See, I don't know. I bow to your expertise on this one. Demolition is amazing. They're great. I name my fantasy sports teams across the board since the beginning of time. Demolition.

Yeah. They are the best team name. And also Smash later became one of our all-time favorites, the Repo Man. Do you remember the Repo Man? He'd be like... Man? That's probably past your time. I'm trying to think what he... I feel like he stole something from... like he stole

Macho Man's hat or something. Can I imagine that? He repossessed it. Repossessed. We're here to talk about Hawk and Animal. Yeah. Demolition maybe was inspired by Legion of Doom, but they certainly became their own shtick, which could be a good topic for in the future of Pandemic Fridays of bands that but they certainly had became their own shtick, which could be a good topic for,

in the future of Pandemic Fridays, of like bands that like originally sounded like this, but then switched to that. Stone Temple Pops. Yeah, I kind of dig that. And here's another one real quick. I know we have the spreadsheet and there's like a hundred on there right now, but I was on a bike ride today to pick up some fabric.

I was very disappointed because Fabric Fabric, where I went, or Keelan St. Clair, I get there and I have the email because there's a number and the email is like, it's time to pick it up. And I give the number and they go, oh, we need an hour. I didn't have an hour. I said, I can't, I gotta go. I had something else I had to record.

But who sends out the email to pick up something and then when you get there, they say they need an hour. Like, that pissed me off. But I digress. How much fabric were you picking up on a bike? It goes in a backpack. Now, why do i bring up the bike ride because on this bike ride i was thinking about lod cosplay i was thinking about uh ignition remix oh you familiar with the song problematic right yes my that was my the word i was thinking oh that's problematic like we can't kick out Edition Remix.

I would say that's a rare song where, like, the remix is more known than the original. I don't even really know the original. Big time. But that remix is... I ain't trying to be cool. Yeah, no. It's an epic tune, but it's kind of... You got to be careful with it now because it's so problematic.

And then I thought... Is the song problematic or is R. Kelly problematic? R. Kelly is problematic. So, stop the press. Next week, if you guys buy in... R. Kelly's problematic. So stop the press. Next week, if you guys buy in. R. Kelly's coming on the show? We kick out problematic jams. Oh, is that next week?

Jams we love. Did we pick that? No, we haven't picked that. I'm raising it. Let's take this off camera. Okay, we'll keep it off camera, but hear me out. Songs you love, but either the message in the song or the artist behind it is problematic.

So we kick out our favorite problematic jam. Songs maybe we once loved, but now we're problematic. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Maybe it's Michael Jackson's Thriller, and maybe you're kicking out that jam. You love this song, but it's problematic because of the documentary. I feel like we could do Behind the Mask and just all the anti-masks, like Van Morrison, Noel Gell. I saw

just this week, one of my favorites, Ian Brown of the Stone Roses is an anti-masker. Alan Cross is going to be crushed. I know he's a big Stone Roses guy. This is all disappointing. Remind me the name. Which road warrior just died? Animal. And he was 60, which is very young. His son was an NFL big star, defensive star, an all-pro for the Rams for a while.

Laurinaitis is the last name. They came up with Mr. Perfect and Rick Rude. They were like the Minnesota crew. His brother is John Laurinaitis, who was Johnny Ace of the... I don't know if you remember. They were like Surfer Shane Douglas and Johnny Ace.

He became the head of talent relations for WWE for many years. John Laurinaitis. Super friends or something. They had skateboards. They were the kind of like Cowabunga dudes. Yes, yes, yes. I do remember this. So that's his brother.

That's Animal's brother. All these guys are Minnesota guys. Minnesota. So they came up with Mr. Perfect and Rick Rude. And Prince. And Prince. The Replacements. But the Iron Sheik and

Jesse the Body and all these guys that came up through Minnesota. Greg Gagne. The other Greg Gagne. Right. Okay. So at TMLX6 was Hades Dweller. And Hades Dweller we didn't record anything but I'm going to just tell you he thinks there's too much wrestling on this pandemic.

So he's already very upset. Wrestlers need to stop dying. Yeah, seriously. Right. Uh, you know, speaking of dying,

uh, we have a name of the upcoming stew stone movie. Yes. Like this is not one of those long teases where we don't actually give the name. Today you're getting everything, including some exclusive news. Oh my God.

So am I, could I play the trailer? If it will Prince. Uh, well,. So, can I play the trailer? If it will... Well, I mean, it's a visual thing, so go to YouTube. I don't want to give the name yet, so you can find out later what to Google. I'm going to crack this. Okay, Cam, crack that first. Okay.

Caught you up. I can't let you burn you up. Tell me which one found the tape. Well, we found the tape when we were online. I found the tape when we were doing a routine exercise to find more potential projects for our company. This could be our next movie. Those two cameras right here.

We think he did kill somebody. We have found two people willing to go on camera. Adam and I are going to look for this guy. I love you guys, but you're not investigators. The next logical step is for us to investigate murder. Oh, that's good. The money hits our account. Our shoot is officially happening.

First thing I see is it mentions Stacy. Can we find an IP address that will link us to the city? It's not as easy as you think. There's a lot of work. And it's from the internet. Yes, it is. This is the guy. Rascals. He goes by David Stoner.

First of all, have you been to cops? Yes. And what did they tell you? They said that we didn't really have anything. Well, you don't. Just keep rolling. No matter what, keep rolling. Okay, okay, okay. Sir, sir, sir, sir. Got it, got it. Okay, okay! Okay, sir, sir, sir, sir. Got it, got it.

Sir. There! Wait, we're the crazy amount of semen. You told us to lay low. We're laying low. Good. Now people might think you're, uh... Shia LaBeouf. Shia LaBeouf. Perfect. All right, guys, enjoy the festival.

Take care. What if I don't find him? If the job was to not find him, we could do that. You know, we need to find somebody that can... Actually find him? Find him. Into the trunk of that car. find him we could do that you know we need to find somebody that can actually find him find him somebody's in the truck of that car there's nobody here oh my god enough come out keep on hearing something i think that this guy might be real i haven't seen anybody here yet it's's the burn barrels. Burn barrels.

Check the fucking burn barrels. McKayla, do you want to come? This is kind of fucked up for a little bit. Do not go in. You wanted to fucking play fucking detective? Shut the fuck up! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

Fuck this, Stacey. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! That was my first time hearing it just like audio. It's kind of interesting. But it sounds professional, right? This is a big... Well mixed. It's well done. Absolutely. There it is.

The title is not actually The Butler Did It. I don't have a drum roll, but the title of this movie is... Faking a Murderer. Oh. Okay, so that's what you can Google to get to the trailer, Faking a Murderer. You can also just go on social media. It's all on all of my pages. Okay, okay.

People know how to find it. It's on Vimeo. But they need the title to find it. Faking a Murderer, which is an aptly titled title. If you're a fan of the true crime genre, you'll get what they're making. A murder. There's definitely like a nod to our favorite. Wow.

Okay. Our favorites. And you have some. So remind us what day this is available because it's not. You can't watch this today. October the 14th. It is going to be available on Hollywood Suite. And I'm hoping that from now until October the 14th, I'll be able to cash in my Toronto Mike exposure bucks

for some advertising on all of your episodes. Like, you know, when you shouted Austin Keitner, et cetera, maybe you can throw in a plug for Faking a Murder. Like we're literally doing right now. Exactly. And we'll continue to do. I'm saying when I'm not here. Every Friday.

It's like when I'm not here, if you can continue to plug it, that would be, I mean. But you're always here. Lasagna and beer is nice, but this would be a really. Anything,

anything. When you're on with Dr. Sacks. Exactly. Right. And then, you know, so Hollywood Suite is a channel that you get on your, she would.

It's fun for the whole family. Ben Mergey's on next week. We'll talk about this. I hope so. This is fun. October 14th. Hollywood Suite is the channel that is available for those of you who have cable or bell or any of those.

Otherwise, they do have a portal, I believe is the right word. Like Yahoo? Yeah, through Amazon. They have like a channel on Amazon. So if you're a streamer, you could go through that. You know, Hollywood Suite has an Amazon. You can watch it on demand. You can watch it on demand.

Right. And, you know, hopefully the people who are listening to the show, who are fans of Pandemic Fridays, will support and spread the word. Because, listen, a Canadian release is very important in right now. I don't have a U S release. I have a Canadian release and I've been down this road before with Jack of all trades, where it was a long and winding road.

That's that seemed like it was going to be a road to nowhere. That miraculously became this thing. So maybe that can happen again. If people spread the word and share. Also, maybe we need to talk to FOTM. Norm Wilner. He's not going to watch my movie.

He even watched the movie with his brother in it. I forget his name. Mike Wilner will watch the movie. Is Richard Krauss in FOTM? Richard Krauss is in FOTM. He loves his Elvis Costello. It's a Toronto-centric film. Okay, let me do my thing. Peter Howell, I don't know where he writes now, though,

because he's not at the start. It's not that you can do it. All the greats. If you're a FOTM or you're a FOSS. But we've got to slow our roll, because like you mentioned, there's several weeks before this, so we've got to go keep something in the can.

Well, here's the thing in the can. I'm going to be paying attention and monitoring, and I know you will, and I know Cam here will, and once the movie's out, I'm going to pick somebody from the Toronto Mike universe. An FOTM. An FOTM. And murder them.

And I'm going to give them, I'll have some sort of exclusive sort of faking a murder giveaway that I will. A bloody slugger shirt. It could be. Because that would be amazing. I want one. You should sell bloody slugger shirts. Could be a slugger shirt.

It could be something else. I don't know. But there is definitely a prize. It's like 50 cans of like JLB. That's exciting.

We'll keep promoting that. An exclusive contest for Pandemic Friday. That's amazing. I'm going to crack open a Burst. It's a New England pale ale. It's courtesy of

Great Lakes Brewery. And remind us, is this the wonderful new movie that includes the cameo appearance by Great Lakes Brewery. And remind us, is this the wonderful new movie that includes the cameo appearance by Great Lakes Brewery Cans? Yes, definitely. There is Great Lakes. Well, FLTM should watch it just for that.

Totally, yeah. You should drink every time you see a GLB can in the movie. Yeah, it's an unreal true crime story. I was going to say, they said they do screenings. They showed Roadhouse at GLB. Well, why don't we do a screening there?

I was going to say, yeah, once we can get back together. Yeah, they did, but yes. Not currently. How about a private screening? Well, okay, but they're being very, it's different in pandemic times. Obviously, if it wasn't pandemic times, this is a slam dunk.

You know what? I'll tell you the truth. This is the truth. If we weren't in a pandemic right now, we'd have a private screening for FOTMs at the brewery. Listen, if we weren't in a pandemic, my film would be able to play in film festivals. I'd be able to have screenings. I'd be able to do all sorts of things. But guess what else?

If we weren't in a pandemic, Mike, we wouldn't be here celebrating 20 million weeks of Pandemic Fridays, the number one show on Periscope. Shout out to all 12 of you watching right now. Keep your eye on the comments there. I think that number is only the people who follow and watch. The true number, when you're done, you're going to see it's going to be 100.

Of course, but I'm saying people are listening. This is just a live recording because the real truth is that people listen on your website, torontomic.com. But I'm pretty sure we'll get 400 or something watching live, like something like that. Oh, for sure. But I'm talking about the people

who will stream this and they'll go bike riding to this. live. Oh, for sure. But I'm talking about the people who will stream this and they'll go bike riding to this. Right. Yeah, well, it's a podcast. Yes, absolutely. Attributing to this. Shout out to Matt O'Jelly, who worked on the film Faking a Murder.

Look at those hearts. That's a great name. And yeah, Matt Hanson. Matt E. O'Jelly. Oh, that's okay. Same guy. Stu, he says. Oh, and he's verified on Twitter. Something I've never been able to accomplish. He's a big deal, Matt Hanson. Matty O'Jelly. Oh, that's okay. Same guy. Stu, he says. Oh, and he's verified on Twitter.

Something I've never been able to accomplish. He's a big deal, Matt. I don't know the right people. He was basically, you know, he was a higher up on the production chain as we were shooting this movie. He was sort of the guy that made sure that every single thing we shot, he accounted for all of it. Shout out to Matt Hanson. That sounds amazing. Michael Lang, great FOTM, he wants to call this episode out to Matt Hanson. That sounds amazing. Michael Lang

great FOTM he wants to call this episode Flaccid Jams. Yes. Sure. No. Michael Lang. Marketing Cam.

No. Okay. What is it? Is it Soft Cock from Hard Rock? Oh. No. Let's keep

workshopping that one. Get the genitalia out of it. That's what Cam is saying here. I think you said just when hard goes soft. Yeah, or I was thinking soft jams by hard bands or soft jams by... That's not bad. I'm trying to think of something that starts hard

and then you leave it out and it goes soft. Yeah, like tur... I was going to say turgid, but... All right. Well, basically... Turgid tunes. Cock my cock rock okay so basically we are gonna kick out in a moment uh jams and i have an example jam so hard rock acts with soft as soft jams yeah so nobody picked this so i feel safe to play it this is not one of our selections

but this is a song we'll let it warm up it's not's not Hero of the Day. No. That's a hard fucking song. But this is a soft jam, like a slow jam by a hard band. Is this The Unforgiven? No. No, come on. Although that's kind of, that one's a bit harder. That's not bad. Which one is like, what is war?

That's one, right? One. One, right. So give it a moment. Now, are the slow jams more like love songs or sentimental songs or whatever they are? As long as they're not hard. They're ballady. And just to be clear, these aren't necessarily all rock bands.

No, of course. Hard acts. Hard acts, soft middles. Like Private Symphony by Maestro Fresh West. Oh Fresh West. That's a good one, actually. Sexy. Can you name the students, too? Are you really serious? Nothing else matters in this world. Nothing else matters.

I didn't mean insult you there. This would be a good example of a slow jam by a hard band. Yes. They are hard. I'm surprised there's no Metallica chosen. Well, this jam was not selected.

I don't want to give away anything further. But let's give a shout out to some Toronto Mike partners before we kick these out here. So we've already thanked Great Lakes for the beer that Cam and I are drinking right now. I think he teased yesterday. I was live on location at Great Lakes Bre the beer that Cam and I are drinking right now. This is going to, I think he teased yesterday. I was live on location at Great Lakes Brewery yesterday. Yeah.

And Troy suggested this burst is going to become a year-round beer. It's so popular. They said they have like three new ones coming or? Yeah, I think those are the seasonal thing. They're really prolific. They've been prolific. And the pumpkin ale, which is on the table there, is of course here for the season.

First time in cans. So when you're drinking your pumpkin ale first time in cans so when you're drinking your pumpkin ale don't drink it while you're driving because we do not condone that but that's awful but by the way that episode i i did like hearing how they diverted their resources of running the pat you know why didn't they open the patio and they just did that so they could serve as smart customers i actually found that quite interesting it makes sense and also like real like customer first company like i'm biased because i like their product yeah yes yeah for free i wish i was a beer guy and maybe i need to become a beer i saw you drinking a beer on one of those teasers i did well that was you know but you're

not a beer guy well i'm not really a drinker but uh well to be honest i don't drink a lot either but i do enjoy like a social Great Lakes beer, be it with an episode or with a friend. I got to get into it because it does, you know, I just have never in my life been like, oh, I need a beer. But I really have been impressed with all of my experiences with Great Lakes brewery beers,

and I'm not just saying that. Like, it actually tastes good. It doesn't taste like shit. That should be the new tagline. I was going to say, yeah, say yeah they have their fourth tagline right they have a bunch of taglines here so shout out to great lakes we love great lakes shout out to palma pasta authentic italian food that'll leave you wondering why you waited so long to give it a try seriously the best uh best frozen lasagna you could buy who was talking about Who was talking about Nona? Someone's Nona makes the best pasta. Was that Richard Southern?

I forget. Oh, Michelle Storino, maybe? Michelle Storino, yes. She's got a Nona. Yeah, I listened to that. I don't think Southern gets you a Nona. Maybe on the Moncite or something like that. But yeah, the greatest lasagna you can buy from a store is Palma Pasta.

So just today, by the way, I was co-hosting a webinar with Barb Paluskowicz. So shout out to all the FUTMs who showed up. That was at noon today. We're going to do another one on October 22 so you can show up and virtually throw tomatoes at me if you like. But if you want to speak with Barb now about computer or network issues,

right now, 905. Be right back. 905, yes. 542. Hold on, 905. Let me just write this down. That. Be right back. 905, yes. 542. Hold on, 905. Let me just write this down. That's 905 area. 905, yep.

542. 542. 9759. And that 905, is that like York region? Do I have to dial 1-905? It's like technically Oakville, but when I visit her office, I can throw a stone and hit Mississauga. Like it's right on the border there.

Get that macho man in play there. He stands really well. By the way, when you're drinking that pumpkin ale, like I said, don't drink and drive, but when you sober up from your pumpkin ale, get your ass to Pumpkins After Dark. I'm actually going to record live on location. We're working out the logistics.

I said, make sure you've got good Wi-Fi, because I want to have the video. going to do it like while you're driving that's big I would do that kind of a world star hip hop we're coming up with some ideas but now is the time to book your visit

to Pumpkins After Dark get those tickets now it's great to have them back again this year the promo code to save 10% at pumpkinsafterdark.com. It's miked, M-I-K-E-D. And, you know, Stu, you know what I've been thinking about for the past week? Can I guess? That's a loaded question. Yeah.

Something about your hot pants, your hot shorts. You get hot in your shorts. Is that what it is? Is there any crowd shots today? Yes. What episode was that? Right now. Is there? I can see your. But should I?? Is there any crowd shots today? Yes. What episode was that when I had the crowd shots? Right now. Is there?

I can see your... Should I... I don't know. I don't know. Sit up for a second. Yeah, it's a little provocative. It's like, what are you going to do? Arrest me for smoking type of shot.

Is there any bulge? Well, not really. I kind of wish there was. For being honest. It's because you're wearing black. It's slimming. Yeah. They're baggy.

He was in the pool. Come on. And I have very tight under briefs on right now. Tidies? Are you a Tidy Whities guy? TMI. Interesting. You boys need a home is what I'm saying there.

So you're like more of a hammock guy. A banana hammock. It's like our friend Macho, you know. Right. Because he wore the long pants after a while. Yeah. He got tired of the tighties. I like when he got that hat

Like speaking of that hat Rhinestone cowboy What I've been thinking about the past week is something Stu said About like maybe instead of you know A monthly rate To promote something like KiteNer Let me get a cut of any deal

That comes from Well that's on top of the monthly rate because the monthly rate is already a really good deal. Yeah. Because I've been thinking about just changing it. No, you still want that guaranteed cash. Like a program. Unless you really think you can sell one house.

This is like a Lamborghini dealership, Mike. You just need to sell one car and that pays for the whole year. Right. So if you really think you can sell a house, then you should just become a real estate agent yourself. By the way, Mike, are you going to cover this? You may have heard CBC getting in the professional podcast business. Aren't they already there?

Are you going to be one of their podcasts? They made an announcement this week. What did they say? You can Google it. You should pitch the show pandemic i was gonna say yeah cbc radio what is this announcement i'm i haven't had wiseblood over here in almost two months i'm it's well i mean they've always had podcasts but now they're doing you know if they had like brand partners like use the cbc studio use our services i think it's called like anthem

anthem or something get off my turf cbc that's what's going on here but you can talk about that with 1236 yeah he's here next week. He's here next week, and we're going to do another podcasting episode. Six hours. Maybe. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. Maybe.

I'm just glad that he's going to be here next week. Fingers Alan crossed. I miss him, and he also had a great excuse for missing TMLX6, much like yourselves do. Shannatova to my friend. Shannatova to Mark Weisblot. Absolutely. And finally, last but not least, thank you, StickerU.

Oh, by the way, Austin Keitner. Contact him by texting TorontoMike to 59559. Austin, just chat him up if you're looking to buy and or sell in the next six months. Or if you just want to go for a drink. Might as well go for soda. Absolutely. Nobody hurts. StickerU.com for stickers and such.

We've had a great partnership for a couple of years now. So it's great. It's like a marriage. Working with those guys at StickerU in Liberty Village. All right. Here we are. Is everybody ready for... No, we always start with Cam.

And then I always complain we started weak. And then Cam... Stu makes the joke that it's because we started with a Cam Jam. So again, soft tunes by hard artists. We start with Cam. That's the order. Yeah. We always started with a cam jam soft tunes by hard artists we always start with cam gordon here's cam gordon's first jam

it's a slow burner we have no idea what it is not knowing what his songs are or your songs are that's why I come here I wish I could be like that I wish we could just plug in your devices I do that sometimes. I'm trying to find myself today

To see if I still feel right Focus on the pain The only thing that's real One of the best songs you could possibly put on. I don't know if I would have thought of this. This is totally a different lane than I took, but I respect the choice. I think it's a good choice because Nine Inch Nails is hard,

and this jam is not. This is a slow jam by a hard band. Yeah. I can't believe that Trent Reznor covered Johnny Cash on this. I know. That's wild. And this is on the downward spiral, right? That's right.

I have a confession to make about this. This section of the song you're listening to right now, this exact section, the ending of Jack of All Trades, this exact section, the ending of Jack of All Trades when I'm burning the cards on fire, I have a version of that set to this song. I'll play it for you. Really? It's pretty mesmerizing. Sounds powerful.

I love this song. Yeah. I love it too. And the video is really cool too. Also, you like to wear a crown of shit, so, I mean, there's that. I don't think we said who it is. too and the video is really cool yeah also you'd like to wear a crown of shit so i mean i don't think we said who it is it's it's uh of course nine inch nails the song hurt goes away hold on here it comes up a bit right here You could have it all

My empire of dirt So the empire of dirt, there's like a pile of baseball cards on fire. Edit it to this song. So to speak. But you couldn't afford it. Is that the answer? The order of the mind. That's expensive, right?

Actually, it was put to this song after the fact. And Stu, I know I've asked before, where was that scene? Earl Bales Park. Earl Bales. Oh, yeah. I biked through it when I visit my buddy Mark Carey. Yeah, absolutely. When you visit Barry.

He's a young shepherd there. Getting a strong start vote from the chat room here. It's unusual to start strong on Pandemic Friday. Now there's nowhere to go but down. Yeah, this is a good track. Nah, I'll be good. Don't worry. So, Mike, okay, here come the fun facts.

You mentioned the video. So that was actually shot in Omaha, Nebraska, of all places. Where all the great videos are shot. I know, of all places. Talk it up until that moment when this gets big, because there's a moment when the sound is big, and we'll turn it up for that. I was going to say, that seems to be a commonality

with a lot of these tunes, where they'll start off soft and they'll get hard, because they're hard bands that need to break out. Like the grunge song we played in the Grunge episode. Yeah, my songs don't have that hard. I stuck to the subject and kept it soft. Okay, that's not surprising. A question for Stu Stone.

Did you go to see Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie do you remember this yeah the I Hate America tour yeah my wife went to that show

yeah they played at the Skydome well my wife my first wife yes the answer is yes okay I kind of just wanted to know

did you go with my wife at the time I did she wasn't your wife at that point, so hello. That's when she stopped being mine. Yeah. But anyway, David Bowie and Trent Reznor would, I guess they closed on that tour. They would close the Nine Inch Nails set with this song.

They'd do a duet on it, which I'm sure was quite something. I don't remember that. Yeah. I actually don't have a lot of notes on this song just because I feel like it's... I don't know. I have a lot of notes about the Johnny Cash version. Trent Reznor apparently did not want Johnny Cash recording.

He said he was, quote-unquote, flattered, but was worried that, quote-unquote, the idea sounded a bit gimmicky. Which it did on paper, but then it was executed nicely. Very much so. I'd argue the Johnny Cash version is probably more well known than this version I think you're absolutely right

it doesn't make it better though and that's the Rick Rubin American recordings amazing stuff also a great video with June Carter Cash June Carter Cash is in there he comes down the stairs he doesn't live much longer.

No, and he looked, I mean, talk about crown shit. Like Johnny Cash did not look like in good shape when he did this video. I'm Johnny Cash. Do you remember when he did all those Canada Trust ads? That's right, yeah. He was the Johnny Cash machine. Yeah. Canada Trust, yeah.

I didn't know that. Before the TD Canada Trust. Well, I remember, did you guys ever read Mad Magazine? oh my god, someone on Twitter you ever heard of Twitter? I love it, I really do love it somebody's like what magazines did you read when you were young or whatever and that was the first one that came to mind

Cracked was the Kirkland version of the Mad Sylvester but Mad was the OG anyway I remember there was once an. Like Mad was the where it's at. Anyway, I remember there was once an article in Mad Magazine about like

fake music tours and they were saying Tom Petty and Johnny Cash going on tour would be the Petty Cash tour. Ah. Which is not even that far fetched and would

be like, yeah, like. The lighter side of. It's like this is like humor for children in the 80s. I liked the fold-ins at the back page like that.

Literally only buy it for the fold-ins. Me and my sister loved the fold-ins. And on Simpsons, the woman who had it tattooed on her back. I know me and my sister would go to Hasty Market and like do the fold-in in the store. And like they would like yell at you. No, you don't want to buy your copy of Mad Magazine and have it all creased on the back. That sucks. Sorry, Nine Inch Nails hurt.

I think that's a good place to start. It's all right. All right. No, I'm going to applaud that selection. That's a good song. And yeah, you know, and I like that you guys don't know anyone else's jams because you can interpret topics as you wish.

Like, that's not the kind of jam that, you know, that Stu would kick out, but Stu saw it differently. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I just want to make, see what, that Stu would kick out, but Stu saw it differently. Hold on, hold on. I just want to make, see what, give me a,

what in the fuck. While Wally does that, I do have one wrestling connection to that song. So, Hades Dweller, please fast forward about two minutes. I was going to say, to speak of dead wrestlers,

when Eddie Guerrero passed away, the musical montage they play on My Night Night Raw was to the Johnny Cash version of that song. It's a fun fact. Yeah. All right. Let's kick out Stu Stone. Okay, so this is the hardest.

I'm going to start with the hardest act I could think of. Somebody that exemplifies the opposite of a slow song. Motorhead. A slow jam. Okay, you ready? Damn it, Doyle. Funny you should mention Motorhead. Well, let's hear this jam here.

Good choice, too. Times have changed and times are strange Here I come but I ain't the same Mama, I'm coming home Times gone by, it seems to be You could have been a better friend to me Mama, I'm coming home You took me in and you drove me out Yeah, you had me hypnotized

Yeah Lost and found and turned around by the fire in your eyes You made me cry You told me lies. But I can't stand to say goodbye.

Mama, I'm coming home. Sharon, Sharon. So, Q107, the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. Mama, I'm coming home. Mama, I'm coming home.

Ozzy Osbourne. This, I'm Coming Home. Mama, I'm Coming Home. Ozzy Osbourne. This man was in Black Sabbath. He was kicked out of Black Sabbath for being too bad of a guy. Drug addiction. And we're talking about when we were kids, legends of this man biting off bats' heads on stage. This is ahead of the curve, before coronavirus. This guy was eating bats. He was, you know, this satanic worshipping Ozzy Osbourne.

And then he has this beautiful song, which I have a lot of fun facts about. Okay, hit me because I just will say that you're right. This is a sweet ballad from a guy who rocks hard. Right. And Stu, can you tell us the year this came out? Yeah, I sure can. Can we guess? Sure.

This was 1994. I'd say like Can we guess? Sure. This was 1994. I'd say like 88 or something. 1991. 91. Somewhere in the middle. We'll split the difference. Mama, I'm coming home. You're Grungeburg.

Ozzy Osbourne. Do you want me to start with the most fun of fun facts? Oh my God, yeah. Please. Who died? So you mentioned, who did you mention off the top before? Who did I mention? Motorhead.

Yeah, Motorhead. Do you know who wrote this song? Lemmy. Lemmy. Get out of here. I didn't know that. That's amazing. Lemmy from Motorhead wrote this song, which is shocking also.

So it's like, what the fuck? Not only is this an Ozzy Osbourne slow song, but Lemmy from Motorhead wrote this song. Now, we're going to get back to your list. But here, it's sort of in that same vein of when you know that song Changes, that is a theme song to Big Mouth. What? Changes, going through Changes. You ever see Big Mouth on Netflix?

Oh, shit, yeah. Charles Bradley. When you learn that Changes is actually a cover of an Ozzy Osbourne song with Black – I believe that's an Ozzy Osbourne song. Are you serious? I'm dead serious. I'll do continues. There's so much more fun facts to go, guys.

Honestly, like everyone's dead. Everyone we're talking about is dead. Ozzy Osbourne is alive. Except him. He is alive. A power ballad. This single, ladies and gentlemen. Would you believe me if I told you?

This is Ozzy Osbourne's only solo top 40 single ever on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. I told you. This is Ozzy Osbourne's only solo top 40 single ever on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. I believe you. Because, you know, he rocks too hard for the Billboard Hot 100.

What a crazy train. He had a couple. Post Malone got him back on the chart by sampling him recently. Okay. But, unbelievable.

Ozzy Osbourne, Zach Wild Lemmy from Motorhead on the writing credits, Lemmy credited as writing all the lyrics so if you listen to the song back on your own spare time imagine Lemmy singing them like in his head writing it out

pretty funny, two music videos were created for the single, two Ozzy hated the first one and got a gentleman to come and take over. Samuel Bayer he got to take over. The guy who invented the aspirin. He is the guy that invented Smells Like Teen Spirit, the Nirvana music video.

Whoa. So that's a great year for him because he did Smells Like Teen Spirit and the Ozzy Osbourne Jam. So there you go. Ozzy Osbourne. I can hardly candle anymore. You got more? I got nothing else. Okay, then let me do this.

Nothing else matters. Right. So just because it's in the same spirit of this episode, this is probably the softest, sweetest Black Sabbath song. This is Black Sabbath. Whoa. It's The Changes, the original. Okay.

That's Ozzy. By the way, Stu, you would like Big Mouth on Netflix I'll check it out you would dig it I don't even know what that is I know the song you're talking about that's a TV show yeah it's a cartoon on Netflix with some very famous

and funny voice actors and I think you'd dig it me and the teens watched it and we all loved it I had no idea that was a cover. No, and people don't know it's a cover. And then they're shocked to find out it's a Black Sabbath song. Because Black Sabbath is...

Yeah. Wow. By the way, one more comment about the Road Warriors. R.E.P. Road Warrior Animal, the first ever theme song. Iron Man. Iron Man by Black Sabbath. Oh, yeah. It all comes around.

And now I'm thinking of Beavis and Butthead again, right? The man comes around, Johnny Cash. I was going for a guy that has all of this sort of reputation that precedes him. When you actually listen to his music, the guy can sing. He's a good singer. He's a good rock star. He's going to come up a little later on one of my selections. Okay, then that's probably the song that I was thinking of as well.

But this song, well, yeah, you'll see. It's not really. It's like the vocalist, you know, Maynard is a great vocalist for a hard rock band. But Ozzy, I don't think, gets the credit. Do you remember a band called Stone Sour? Yeah. Yeah. Well, that would be like, that's the softer side of slipknot and slipknot fucking loud and proud.

You know what I'm saying? You got to find a melody in there. It's just a wall of sound. And then, uh, then they had some really nice songs. Like I think brother, and there's a bunch of different songs.

Bother maybe. Anyway, I'm, I'm, so I'll take down black Sabbath, but this song is appropriate because it's a slow jam by a hard band. So I'm also learning lots. This is some good info.

This is what we do. Lemmy from Motorhead wrote your song. Good stuff. Great stuff. Ready for my first jam? Yeah. So there's a movie, speaking of Netflix, there's a movie called The Dirt, and it's about Motley Crew, and there's a scene.

Is this a home sweet home? Actually. Oh. It might be, but there's a scene where home? Actually. Oh. It might be. But there's a scene where Ozzy's like doing something. What is he eating his own shit or something? He's doing something ridiculous. And then the Motley Crue's like learning how to be like a fucking crazy rock star or whatever.

And oh, I've got the wrong fader here. My bad. Oh, I see. There we go. Yeah, sorry. It's coming. If you were a teen in the 80s, you'd definitely slow dance to this one.

And I still love this song. Written by Lemmy? No. It's a little heavy. A little heavy. This is pretty heavy. Yeah. It's a little loud. This is like really heavy.

Yeah. No, man. Like the first 20 seconds were slow. It's like last week we played November Rain as an autumn jam. Come on. November Rain is an autumn jam Hold on a minute I'm scared of Stu now You can't compare this to that

Hold on let me finish I'm in mid fucking sentence Stu Okay Now you know how I felt last week All the fucking abuse You were amazing last week When you learned I changed my positioning on all the leaves are brown. Aussie, like, that's right up there with your hero of the day, like Wendell, like bullshit.

Like, in terms of your most egregious moments. This is a power ballad if the category was power ballads. No, November Rain was a great autumn song, but it has parts of it that rock hard. I'm saying... Autumn songs are only supposed to just be soft? Seasons change. I'm saying you can have a ballad with parts that are loud.

Okay. You're scaring me, man. You're scaring the listeners with these picks. It's a great pick. I think it's a great pick. Molly Crew rock hard. We're just breaking your balls. You're scaring the listeners with these picks. It's a great pick. I think it's a great pick. No, it's a power round. Of course it's a great pick.

Molly Crew rock hard. Listen, we're just breaking your balls. We can see your balls, so that's why we're breaking them. Stop staring at my fucking balls. You're the one streaming. I mean, this is a pretty soft solo. Come adjust this camera. I don't want to have people.

It's private. It's provocative. It's cool. So, where do you think this peaked on the Billboard Hot 100? Home Sweet Home. From 1985, by the way. Number three or two. What's the guess?

Do you have a guess, Cam? I got it. I'd say like 22. That's a good guess. Yeah. 89. 89. That's not possible.

I'm reading it on the wiki. That can't be right. That can't be right. The wiki. That's the Billboard Hot 100 peak. For some reason, I always thought this was like Dr. Feelgood album. No, way before that. Dr. Feelgood album, though, has some sweet little songs on it, too.

But mainly they rock hard. By the way, this is probably the most popular 89th song on the chart ever. Like, what do you mean? How could that only be number 89? I don't think that's right. Oh, here, it's sweet again. Listen to this coda here. We call this a coda,

piano coda. But this was kind of before the power ballad era. Like, if this had come out... This might have launched that era. Yes. By the way, I listened to the original version

of November Rain after last week's episode. I found it online. The 18-minute or whatever? Yeah, it sounds almost like the cult, if you can believe it. Did it sound like an autumn jam or? It wasn't soft.

Actually, it was soft. It was very soft. That piano coda in Home Sweet Home reminds me of the Layla piano coda that's all over the wonderful Goodfellas. Although the Layla one's like incredible. Yeah, I'm not saying it's as good as the Layla one. It seems like it might be inspired. Now, which song do you like better, November Rain or Home Sweet Home? Oh, fuck.

Is it that hard to pick? Yeah, because I really like them both. But I think November Rain maybe. Is that a no-brainer? That's a no-brainer. I apologize for braining it. Oh, my God. This is fun.

Okay. Shout out to Nikki Sixx. Yeah, absolutely. Good guy. Why not? And I have another Cam Gordon jam I want to share with everybody. Oh yeah. Honestly, as I told you via Twitter DM.

Cam picked this song? Yeah. This jam takes me back to crazy weekends in my buddy's cottage in Huntsville. I have some like first person fun facts. Oh my God. Some Edwin encounters. Oh I love Edwin stuff. Another trip around the sun. To Edwin!

Future FOTM. Is this I Mother Earth? Yeah. Is that why you keep seeing Edwin? Yeah. Edwin and Carnation. Edwin McCain. Wasacion Edwin McCain Was he Edwin McCain?

That's a soft jam This was a great CD I really enjoyed this whole thing Good cover with the dog What was the big rock hit off the top from that? Not quite Sonic? No, that was later.

One more astronaut? No, that was later. Rain Will Fall? No, I'll know when I hear it. There's a rocker that preceded this on 102.1. I'll Google it if you're not helping me. It's like a one word title.

Yeah, it's like low or something. Cracker. Yeah, great. I'm not really that familiar with this song yet. Maybe I'll recognize it when it gets to the... So anyway, for listeners who don't know, this is I Mother Earth Toronto Zone with So Gently

We Go. Levitate. Levitate. Levitate, yes. How does that go? It's just like a cool, loud, grungy rocker. It starts like, feel it. That's the song that made me buy the album, and it's the song that I fell in love with.

Yeah. I got to check that out. This is from 1993. Dig. Dig, exactly. So a video for this song came in 1994. Pretty big Much Music hit. This song went to number 43 on the Canadian charts.

Oh, and Not Quite Sonic is on this disc. So this song, think about this, okay? This I Mother Earth song did 44 places higher than Motley Crue Home Sweet Home. Is that what you're telling us? No, but not the US Billboard Hot 100. It didn't reach that. It's kind of a... Yeah, it's Canada charts.

But certainly a big hit on CFNY back in the day. Oh, yeah. Okay, so I have three buckets of... These are more just like comments. Is it just me? Like, I feel like so many people probably mixed up I, Mother Earth and Our Lady Peace because they came out right at the same time.

They would play a lot of shows, both three-letter names, Mother, Lady. I think you're right. Okay. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't me. I think you're right. I think you're right. Okay. Yeah, they were both being played on 102.1 at the same time,

and much music at the same time. So this is, here's some hockey talk. Wait, this got a lot of radio play? Lots. Oh, yeah. Well, you know what? Actually, I know it from the CD. And it says here that it was number one on the CanCon chart, whatever that means.

And it was a bigger hit on the Canadian charts than Levitate, 43. So I think this did get radio play. Yeah, I think so. That's pretty cool. So this, Stukin set this one out because this was during his LA years. Mike, did you ever go to a place called Hoops?

No. It's a sports bar that was at college and young. I know Hoops, the basketball cards, the David Robinson rookie card,

89 Hoops. Also a good set. I remember Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street. I remember him because I was watching around the time he passed away.

It reminded me of the death of Coach on Cheers. Those are the two deaths that watching around the time he passed away. It reminded me of the death of Coach on Cheers. Those are the two deaths that affected me the most as a young person. Mr. Hooper was how I learned about death.

Right, because Big Bird kept saying, when are we going to see him again? They had to sit down Big Bird and tell him we're not going to see him again. David had to sit him down.

And Maria was there. And Gordon. And Louise, Olivia, Susan. I'm going to cry. Honestly, I'm going to cry. Linda was sign languaging it, Tim. Linda's my mom. But they said, he'll live on in our memory. I'm going to cry. Honestly, I'm going to cry. Linda was sign languaging it, Tim. Linda's my mom. But they said he'll live on in our memory.

I remember they said they told Big Bird he'd live on in their memories. It's like slimy there. Slimy was there. Of course he was there. Slimy was there. Okay. Anyway, Hoop Sports Bar. I was there for game four.

It's riveting stuff. Yeah. No, this is a good anecdote. What did you order? Fuck off. Okay, game four of the 1994 Eastern Conference semifinals. Toronto Maple Leafs playing

the Philadelphia Flyers. Oh, yeah. This was the game Jeremy Roenick scored in overtime. 2004. 2004. Anyway, I was there with some friends eating nachos and guess who else was there? Overtime? Wait. 2004. 2004. What did I say? 1994. 2004. Anyway, I was there with some friends eating nachos, and guess who else was there?

Edwin. Oh, wow. Some people. What's Edwin's last name? Collins? I can tell you. I'm going to click away. Yeah, that's a good question. I'm going to click away.

You keep talking, and I'll dig it up. Okay, well, I also want to mention, and Mike. Oh, he just goes by one name, this guy. Okay, Mike, just let me finish here, because what you're going to interject with is actually what I'm going to talk about. Okay, okay, go. So Edwin was also a former bartender at Tattoo Rock Parlor.

Chill, Mike's like vibrating over there. So I Google Edwin Tattoo Rock Parlor. Guess what the number one thing that comes up on Google search? TorontoMike.com. An article from October 21st where Toronto Mike's saying how much he likes Edwin. He's a big Edwin guy. What year? Because you said October 21st.

October 2011. I'm like botching all my numbers today. We're going to keep you on your toes. Because who else would cover that? I was going to say your comments here. You said, okay, am I the only one who expected more from Edwin? No!

So that was... Maybe I don't want you to read this. That was kind of rude. Didn't age well. And then I like this comment. This morning while checking out Google+, again, this is August 2011, I found this post from your buddy Mark

that he's working as a bartender at Tattoo Rock Parlor. I don't think I may have expected better. Edwin is currently working? No, this is in 2011. So Edwin was working as a bartender there in 2011? Correct, yes. I think my thoughts in 2011 were that he should have been a big fucking rock star and shouldn't have to work as a bartender.

I wasn't criticizing working as a rock star. No, but he was apparently like a part owner or something at the bar. But just like now. Danny Graves from The Watchman owns a bar at a hotel and he works as a bartender too.

You're right. I could see that. And I'm smart and I'm smart and I'm certified. That's sort of like a Sam Malone type of thing like he used to be

a pitcher for the Red Sox. He used to be alright. So I'm sorry I wrote that. I feel like maybe I've evolved. The internet is forever Mike. Anyway if anyone wants to see it

just Google Edwin in Tattoo Rock Parlor. At least I covered the story. Anyway, there was 25 comments on that post. Wow. Seven of them were from someone named Lisa who commented. I think she was getting like a cash issue because it was the same comment seven times. Oh, I got to clean that up.

But you fixed your website, so it's all good. No more discuss. Anyway, a final comment about I Mother Earth. Is it just me? It's just you. This music has aged fairly well i don't know it's good yeah like it's just i don't know i said just like mike you and i were talking about dmi just find this band very comforting yeah maybe just like a toronto band can i tell you i also i also really like solo edwin like that and i mentioned another trip around the sun like that whole album and stuff there's a whole bunch of... So Good to Be Alive?

Yeah. Well, that's something else you did on the blog post. You counted down all his hits. You had like nine or something. Like Trippin' and Hang Ten. Yeah, Trippin' Around the Sun. And Alive was a big hit on the radio here. And yeah.

Have you ever tried to get him down to the basement? I've never tried. But now that I find out what I wrote about him in 2011, I feel like he's probably going to be angry at me. He can go hard or he can go soft. He's a Jane and Finch guy, right? I always thought of, I think he's a Jane and Finch guy, and I always felt he had the Eric Lindros look.

You know that look that kind of got that- Handsome? Stunning? Handsome. Like kind of chiseled. Yeah, there's a certain look that Eric Lindros looks. Gorgeous? Good chin.

His last name by the way was Gazelle. Oh. It's Edwin Gazelle. Like the animal. Sort of, but not spelled the same wayelle it's Edwin Gazelle like the animal sort of but not spelled the same way oh Edwin Gazelle

who's the guy who took the walk on four pitches because he was four feet tall isn't that Eddie Gazelle Eddie Gadale

Gazelle yes Gadle Gadle have you you know at 5'7 productions have you considered

changing 5'7 films 5'7 films changing it to 5'7 and 6'7 and replacing Adam with Cam. That has not been brought up. It's Craig Graybeck. I'm not close to the idea.

I love Cam. And I never met Adam. I'm sure he's lovely. He's very lovely. But I know Cam, and Cam's lovely. Cam's okay. By the way, did you hear who got fired today? Was it you?

No, a bunch of Blue Jay greats. Pat Henkin. Pat Henkin, Paul Quantrill, and Kent Huckabee. But the timing's weird, right? Like, why would you fire them? Or no, sorry, Buffalo. Is it because you don't have anyone in Buffalo? They'll probably, like, have to lay them off because there's nothing going on.

Yeah. Strange timing, though. Furloughed. I mean, they would have done it earlier, but anyways. Remember Paul Quantrill when he allegedly had that mysterious off-season injury? Is his son playing? Yeah, Cal Quantrill for the

San Diego Padres. You know, because we were talking about Cowboy Pompey yesterday on the GLB and of course Dalton and his brother Tristan. Canadian ballplayers. Okay. Rob Butler. Didn't we talk about him? Yeah, Rob Ducey. We're saying Rob Ducey, Rob Butler, and Dalton Pompey. Okay. Rob Butler. Didn't we talk about him at some point? Rich?

Well, we're saying Rob Ducey, Rob Butler, and Dalton Pompey all have very similar career arcs. Right. Local boys. Good pinch runners in playoff games.

Okay. This is a big one. This is a stewstone gem. You have anything to say before I kick it out? Nope. I saw this band live in 98. Ready?

Go. Oh. Another night slowly closes in And I feel so lonely Touching heat freezing off my skin I pretend you still own me I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep I'm edgy, I'm losing sleep I'm edgy, I'm in way too deep over you I can't believe you're gone

You were the first, you'll be the last Wherever you go, I'll be with you Wow. Great choice. Cheap Trick. Yeah, it is. The Flame. Right. 70s rock act Cheap Trick who you often hear

referenced by some of the 90s greats of our era Cheap Trick was their rock stars and if you ever saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High what a big draw that band was Cheap Trick, you know Billy Corgan, you hear

Eddie Vedder I believe all these guys love Cheap Trick, you know, Billy Corgan, you hear Eddie Vedder, I believe. All these guys love Cheap Trick. Anyway, I've got a lot of fun facts here. Okay, before you bring in the fun facts, I think their biggest hit is an Elvis Presley cover. No, that's not true. Don't Be Cruel. Don't Be Cruel is not their biggest hit.

That song reached number four. The floor is yours, Two Stone. What would you do if I told you that the Flame power ballad, which was released in 1988, which was the first single of their 10th album, Lap of Luxury, was their first and only number one? I'd say we'd call that Grateful Dead-ing. I think that sounds about right. I don't think that's true because Grateful Dead maybe didn't have the hits that you would think.

Because Cheap Trick had hits in the 70s. You know, I want you to want me. He's got me today. He's got me. You know. Dream Police. Right. Surrender.

Yeah. I want you to want me. Yeah. You mentioned that. Yeah. Dream Police. Of course, Ghost Town. Don't be cruel. Ghost Town, Don't Be Cruel.

Ghost Town. Also from the same record. But this is a big one. Now, the songwriters, so the label heard their recordings and was like, hey, you guys need a power ballad. Everybody's doing power ballads. How about this? Played them two songs.

So it was like, imagine like a Price is Right showcase showdown where you get your choice between two songs. They're both going to get cut, but you get to only pick one. So this song was played for them, which they didn't write. And another song was played for them called Look Away. Oh. Which I'll get to that in a second. Obviously, the band chose this song.

Look Away went to Chicago. Both songs became hits for the respective bands. So there you go. Cam, you remember Look Away? When you see me looking back in the teaser in your ass. Look away, baby, look away. Don't look at me. A little more twang in there.

Great song. Wow. Okay, good selections, dude. Who wrote this? A British songwriting duo, Bob Mitchell and Nick Graham, which you can look up to find their other credits. I'm sure your mind would be blown. I didn't dig deeper there.

I should have maybe. Yeah, no. We have time. I will say that the front man of the band and the guitarist, Ricky Nielsen, hated this song. And when he heard the demo, reportedly took the tape out of the player, threw it on the ground,

and, quote, stomped on it with his boot heel until the tape broke. We've heard this happen many times. Usually the band, if the band ever pulls the tape out and smashes it, that's going to be a hit. That's a good sign. That's a good sign.

I feel like Radiohead and Creep had the same, like Johnny Greenwood did that. So there you go. It's a good choice because it's a rock band. I mean, they don't rock as hard as Metallica, but they rock pretty hard. Cheap Trick has performed live more than 3,700 times. They've sold more than 20 million albums over the course of their career. Cheap Trick has experienced several resurgences in popularity.

They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. Was it on this podcast? This sounds like it might have been on Alan Cross. Rock and Roll High School? Was it originally supposed to be Cheap Trick and not the Ramones? Was it us talking about that? That was us. That was us.

We did the school jams. That was us. Okay, then I wasn't even here. See, I still listen when I'm not here. That was a great episode, right? Yeah, that was a good good fun fact he's got a lot of time on his hands absolutely yeah this is a good jam and again i told the story already on a pandemic friday but these guys opened up for pearl jam in 98 at molson park and harry and maybe i told the story on the really molson park episode like stood the test of time uh yeah and i i will say my first like

i think the first time i heard a song by them was Don't Be Cruel. I bought the album because of Don't Be Cruel. I think it was he said number four. It was a big hit. I got from the Columbia Record House Club. I remember specifically. One penny. There's a guy named Blake Murphy. Do you know his name? Sure, yeah. Basketball writer? Yeah, for the

Athletic, and he also has a podcast called Columbia House. Something to do with Columbia House Records or something. And he's coming in this backyard to chat me up. Talk cheap drink. Blake Murphy. Good Italian name. So, okay, here we go.

So that was a great selection. He's been in the Twitter Canada Blue Room with Eric Koreen, I believe. Who was booked on the show, Eric Koreen. Where's Koreem? Yeah, I don't know. booked on the show, Eric Corrine. Where's Corrine? Yeah, I don't know. It's because maybe we're too early. He comes out with the blunt later in the night. You haven't had Mike Corrine on, his brother.

No, I didn't even know he was somebody. Yeah, he's like the sports editor for Canadian Press. See, I don't know these things. I would have him on. I've had CP. Eric Corrine's a big deal. Yeah, I would have him on too. All right, here's a... He's on the Zach Lowe podcast. So I mentioned like... There's a big deal yeah i would have him on too all right here's a it's on

the zach low podcast so i mentioned like so i didn't tell the story i do that's what we do i don't watch tv so so generally we go by i'm on the earth is a song i love because that album was like on a continuous loop play another i'm on the earth song i was on maybe uh my buddy chris lang a good friend of mine and uh we've've lost touch with each other, but from grade school, his family had a cottage in Huntsville, and we'd go up and do ridiculous things and listen to stuff like that song,

I Am Other Earth. And I always think of him when I play this band, because this was his favorite band, Chris's favorite band of all time. So I heard a lot of this band because we were best friends for a while. Here we go. Here we go.

Every night has its dawn. We both lie silently still in the dead of the night. Sing along. Although we both lie close together, we're miles apart in sight. Was there something I said or something I did? Did my words not come out right? Though I tried Not to hurt you

Though I tried That's why I stand Every rose Has its thorn Just like every night Has its dawn Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song. Every rose has its dawn.

Yeah, it does. That was really good. Well done, gentlemen. That's like the scene in Almost Famous when they're throwing the bus singing Tiny Dancer. Put in your next movie. Come on. This is the movie. This is the movie.

Do you know what your next movie is going to be? I don't know. We'll see. You won't give us anything on that front. Can I get through this movie first? I don't know. I don't know how it works. Steven Spielberg's working on other stuff.

Yeah, well, he's fucking Steven Spielberg. I'm Stu Stone. I'm here Steven Spielberg's working on other stuff. Yeah, well, he's fucking Steven Spielberg. I'm Stu Stone. I'm here. Same initials, though. Yes. Oh, yeah. If I get support from the Fosses out there, then maybe we can make more movies. You're putting a lot on my shoulders here.

The pressure's on you, my friend. I need to realize I signed up to be solely responsible. You are responsible for the success. Is that why you've invested 28 weeks in Pandemic Friday? If I have, that's an investment that's not going to pay off. I think we moved some units of Scarecrows. Absolutely. Maybe a couple. A couple. Yeah.

We got three Frozen Pass. I think Levi Fumka rented it. As long as people sign up for Pumpkins After Dark, that's all that matters. Promo code's Mike. M-I-K-E-D. Okay, Poison. Yeah. So this is your friend's favorite band. Yeah. And again, this was back in 1990. So just before Grunge, I'd. So this was your friend's favorite band. Yeah, and again, this was back in like 1990. So just before Grunge, I'd say that this was his favorite band.

So look what the cat dragged in. Open up and say, I'm Skinny Bop. I'm Skinny Bop. Didn't we talk about that? There was like that MTV performance that was awful for them where they were supposed to play I'm Skinny Bop, but the guitarist started playing something else. Oh, yeah, C.C. DeVille.

He went into business for himself. Yeah, doll and brett michaels kevin bill the heartbreak kid brett michaels remember mr doll i there's a story and raul raul doll i think there's a story and i think i heard this from Alan Cross. He wasn't there, but he told this story on his podcast about maybe Ricky Rock and CeCe DeVille, I think it was, was recruited by U2. And there was a bottle in the room. The bottle said Jack Daniels. What are you doing there?

I'm trying to do an impression of Alan Cross. Actually, here's a trivia. What CanCon legends... Oh, God, I love this question already. ...featured CeCe DeVille in one of their videos? 90s CanCon legends. Okay. He made about like a 15-second appearance in one of their songs.

I think he played on the song, too. No. The band was Len. Oh, yeah. The follow-up song, I forgot what it's called, Just Seal My Sunshine, but had CeCe DeVille. I like that one day we kick out follow-up jams to the big hit. Yeah.

That's actually on the spreadsheet. Next to nothing. Is it? Should be. Okay. Of all the bands that we're going to play tonight, this might be the only singer that's going to maybe vote for Trump in the election. Wasn't he on the Celebrity Apprentice?

Didn't he win? He might have been. Or was it him against Arsenio Hall in the finals? Yeah. We might hear some Ted Dinkins. I have breaking news from Cam Brio. Oh. Uh-oh.

He's going to probably order a Hollywood suite. Thank God. And let them know that's why he ordered it. Yeah, just say, I got Hollywood suite. Because of Stu. Shout out to Beck, who says she rented Scarecrows. So if that is it. Beck's a great FOTM. Maybe I'm wrong.

At least two right there. Because Levi, Fumka, Beck. I can't believe Troy Burge never knew the Beck song. Beer can. Cam and I, before you mentioned Cam Brio, Cam Gordon and myself, we donate our time to this cause. Who's idea was this? We we donate our time to this cause. Absolutely. We're not getting paid to be here. The least that people can do

is follow Cam on Twitter or buy my movies. Sign up for twitter.com. Right. You've created a monster. Now, you said you do this every Friday or every week until the pandemic ends. I'm down to do it.

Little did you know. No, I like it. This thing's not going anywhere. High five. I get to hang with Cam and you and this is great. Yeah. Little did you know. No, I like it. This thing's not going anywhere. High five. I get to hang with Cam and you, and this is great. Yeah. Then you privately will bitch about the commute. It's a long commute.

We're going to fix it. We're going to talk about that after this. Helicopter. Cambrillo says, every rose has its thorn was voted worst solo ever by Guitar World. That makes sense. Guitar World. Oh, I liked it. Maybe I'm not listening critically. Maybe I'm feeling

like nostalgia. Do you want to hear a fun fact about Guitar World magazine? I would love it. It has the same owners now as Crackberry.com. Do you ever go to Crackberry.com? Is that fun facts too? It's not that fun. I think it's fun. I don't know. I don't even know Crackberry. I have

another Cambrio tweet. Extreme, more than words. That would have been a good one. No, that would have been a good one. It was on my short list.

It just didn't make my cut. The thing about Extreme is it's a tough one because it's like you didn't really know Extreme rocked until after the fact because their introduction

to you was more than words so they just seemed like a sub. Wholehearted. Well, they had that song Get the Funk Out. Yeah, that's the first time I heard them. If you had that song Get the Funk Out yeah that's the first time I heard them

if you don't like which was kind of like Faith No More kind of yes my point is very boot saucy more than words

was like this epic jam that then people bought the CD and then they were like oh there's nothing else on the album that sounds like this He Man Woman Hater

was a heavy jam so more than words great song that was a shitty band sort of like filters take a picture or take your picture like a lot of people would buy the album for that. That was a shitty band. Sort of like filters take a picture or take your picture. Like a lot of people

would buy the album for that and then they'd listen to the rest of that album and it would sound like filter. Why don't we check that out in real time? Brother Neil loves crackberry.com.

There you go. Now I feel like I'm missing out. Okay, final thing. Shout out to Kevin Mitchell. Final Cambrio. Kevin Mitchell, yeah. Oh, he had 50 homers, right? Bare hand.

He had 50, right? He had 50 once. Probably. I He had 50 right He had 50 once Probably I think he did He had that one The Pacific Sock Exchange Right Okay

So Cambrio One more thing on Cambrio Before we move on Please check out Edwin's band Edwin and the Pressure Okay And one more astronaut

That's Cambrio That's not Cambrio That's Brother Neil Brother Neil Okay yeah Okay Oh my god You guys

I swear to you I didn't know this was Going to be the next jam I feel silly After that story I just told I honestly God never looked That's Brother Neil saying that. Brother Neil. Okay, yeah. Okay. Oh, my God. You guys, I swear to you, I didn't know this was going to be the next jam. I feel silly after that story I just told. I honestly, God, never looked. Oh, no. Of course not. I never did.

Honestly, why would I lie in this show? It's real bad. I swear. If I knew, I forgot I knew. You didn't know this was your song? I forgot. I buried the lead. I forgot if I knew it. I swear to you, I never knew.

Twitter or filter, take a... I'm flustered now. Yeah, you shoulds. I forgot if I knew it. I swear to you, I knew it. Twitter or filter, take a picture. I'm flustered now. Yeah, you should be. That's kind of... Honestly, I forgot it. That's disrespectful. It's kind of fucked up. Anyway, why won't you tell us who this is, Mike?

Oh, you already did. So filter, take a picture. Hold on. Let's let it breathe, man. I like this song. Yeah, I kind of like it too. Hey, man. Hold on. Let's let it breathe, man. I like this song. Yeah, I kind of like it too. Hey, man. Nice shot.

Bud Dwyer, Rest in Peace. That's right. Have you ever watched that, by the way? Several fucking times. Disturbing. Disturbing, but strangely, I didn't know. Are we going to hear some Disturbed tonight? Is there a slow jam?

Yeah, they did Sound of Silence. Oh, shit. My phone is, like, locked. You know, I don't want these Pandemic Fridays to end because they bring me great joy. I am committed. Does your phone ever get stuck sideways? Another fun fact. Remember I mentioned earlier that I had the nine inch nails hurt on the

Jack of all trades, like card burning scene. Yeah, of course. I had experimented with this song as well, but it didn't work. And I really, Cam,

as you look, try to fix your phone. I'll just say something I was just saying, and I forgot you were going to kick this out. I swear to you, I wouldn't have told that story otherwise I would have saved it. But, you know,

Hey Man, Nice Shot, of course, some people think, oh, I don't know, it's a basketball song or something, but of course, it's about a public suicide.

Yeah. Have you ever seen this Bud Dwyer? No. It's amazing you've got this long... Like going to a live leak. It's kind of all over the place. But you're right. A lot of people don't want to see live death.

Like that would be disturbing. Someone had a song named Bud. I feel like it was like Big Black or something. Basically, city politician, treasurer guy gets caught corruption. Somehow he was smuggling funds or something. And he holds a press conference. So the press is there. He stands on the stage and he says something

and then he puts a gun in his mouth and fires. Remember he had this big paper bag and he just pulls the gun and it's like but he's like no, no, no. He calmly pulls it out of the bag, pops it and then you see like the body plump against the back and then the blood pouring out. It goes on like faces of death.

I know, it's all over the place. Maybe I have seen that and I just wanted to forget I saw that. Yeah, maybe. You went over to see Baby Kittens or something. There was a picture that I didn't remember. Yeah. But Dwyer, and that's what Hey Man, Nice Shot is about. But this song is, of course, this is their...

Are you going to let Cam tell us? Well, I mean, again, he already told us. Yeah, Filter, Take a Picture from 1999. This song apparently is about Filter Frontman and founding member Richard Patrick. Did he just call with new life insurance? It's Patrick. He got life insurance. This song is apparently about him getting drunk on an airplane and taking off his clothes.

We kicked out a song yesterday on the Great Lakes patio called Drunk on a Plane. Okay, well, there you go. Bjerg Sturkly or something like that. Yes. Anyway, there's I don't know. I don't understand this thing. This one on the Wikipedia page. This song is intended as a tribute to the Was Not Was song, Dad I'm in Jail. Now, do you remember that song?

I know Was Not Was. Don't they sing like the dinosaurs? Boom, boom, mecca, like a boom. This lyric is the one that I was... Don was, right? He's a famous producer. Yeah, exactly. I think that last lyric that we just talked over, like, hey, dad, what do you think about your son now,

is one that resonated and got the song popular. I think people loved shouting that in their cars. Yeah. Not me specifically, but I'm saying people in general. Now, here's a trivia question for Stu. I love Stu Stern. Can I say that? Your cousin and my close personal friend, DJ Farbs. Yes, DJ Farbs. Oh, he comes up every fucking week. I feel like I love Stu Stern. Your cousin and my close personal friend DJ Farbs. Yes.

He comes up every fucking week. I feel like I know the guy. So when Filter showed up what was DJ Farbs' famous comment about the band Filter? What was it? Real fans call them Filt. You remember that? Oh my god. Oh okay. Shout out to DJ Farbs. Anyway Filter

take a picture. Any activity on the Periscope feed. I want to know if Michael Lang is saying anything else clever. Who was it you knew about Future or Lux again? Both great songs. That's incredible. Good choice, and I'm sorry I kind of blew it. I apologize. I didn't realize you were going to kick mine out.

It's not your fault. Even because I loaded it up. You, here's how it works, folks. I like to work on it the weekend right away. By Monday, I've got my my songs and i have extra ones in case one of you guys takes one of my jams cam you're pretty fucking good like by monday or so i've got your jams you're pretty quick just generally a weekend activity like a sunday morning always like i don't know tuesday night or wednesday i'm poking at stew and i'm like stew can i have your jams please because then i have to make sure we don't have doubles. And then I'll take out two and send you two different ones.

Oh, yeah. Cam always modifies through the week. By the way, just adds up, I spilled my beer amidst all the action there. Oh, that's okay. You're not the first. Macho Man's okay, though. Can I set up my, can I bury my own lead?

Or do you want to, like, tell his song? No. Is that okay? Are you familiar with these songs, Cam? I'm going to do some karaoke. Are you familiar with the song

that goes, it feels like the first time. Yes. It feels like the very first time. It's fucking good. That's good, Stu.

Do you like, are you familiar with the song, you're as cold as ice. Yeah. Willing to sacrifice, I know. It was in the Labatt Blue commercial.

I also played it for Mike Zeisberger. By the way, if you have a Toronto Mike Palooza, I was going to make a fake poster. You know you have to get to play amongst other bands. Reunited Stone Movement. Keith Hampshire. No, Reunited Stone Movement. Yeah. Like dead serious.

Do I have to get Jamie Kennedy? No, he's not there. He's not doing it? He's not there yet. Obviously, you haven't Wikipedia'd that. Was it, like, Sundance? You hopped up on stage, like, rapping? All right, let's get back to my...

Have you been E2'd, Jamie Kennedy? No, he's cool. Not at all. I don't know. I'm asking. I'm asking. I don't know. That's a terrible question.

Anyway, Cold as Ice. Yes, of course. You know the song, Cold as Ice? And you know the song, Hot-blooded, let us see. hot-blooded, right at the sea. Hot-blooded beaver of 103. Of course. You know who sings those songs?

Yeah, sure do. Who? Foreigner. Yeah, hard rockin' act. Very hard. Well, not on this song. Like a rock. Oh.

Let's crank this one. This is a good one. It's a slow start. No, no. This is a jam right here. This goes out to... Massive hit. All the fosses out there.

Massive fucking hit. Nine inch news. Maybe the biggest hit of the year. But man, is it slow. Soft jam from a hard band. Hey, get the Viagra. Haunting. Is that like a zither?

Is this Yacht Rock? I mean, it's getting there. It's definitely smooth. I would play it. I love it. Yeah. It's on my playlist. Sounds like Roxy music.

Is anyone from Toto involved? No. There are some fun facts coming. Okay, let's wait for the chorus here. My heart has been hurt before This time I want to be sure I've been waiting For a girl like you To come into my life I've been waiting

For a girl like you The love that will survive Waiting for a girl like you. 1981 power ballad by Foreigner. I think that was Cam's wedding song. That didn't work out. Give it a shot. Interestingly enough, the band Foreigner's name comes from the fact that it is made up of three individuals. Two who are British, one who is an American.

The Brits would refer to the American as a foreigner. Isn't that funny? And they became Foreigner. That's true, yeah. Delightful. How about that? These guys have sold 83 million records, including 37 and a half million in the U.S. alone. That's absurd. The song you're

listening to right now was also the slow dance scene in Footloose. Oh my goodness. I remember it was everywhere on the Chum 30. I actually remember an episode of Doogie Howser where he got his first kiss possibly to this song. I could be mistaking it for their second jam,

but we'll get to that in a second here. Waiting for a Girl Like You. The synthesizer at the beginning that you called haunting. A young man by the name of Thomas Dolby played that part. Oh my God, blindingly of a science. And he was a little known gentleman there that was the master of the synthesizer in the studio. And Thomas Dolby used some of the money that he made from doing sessions like this

to fund his own project, which was Thomas Dolby Blinded Me with Science. How about that? Which was a big hit. He shows up in a lot of those, you know, one-hit wonder lists. Still tours, too.

Now, what if I told you that this song is the most successful number two song in Billboard history? That would shock me. Now, what does that mean? That means it spent

the most weeks at number two without ever getting to number one. I would have bet on a CCR song. Like one of the many CCR hits. Did they not never ever win the points? I believe they never went to number one. Their record setting ten weeks in a row at number two. Who blocked them? Who caught them?

They were blocked for the first nine weeks by Olivia Newton-John, Let's Get Physical. And then blocked by Hall & Oates, I Can't Go For That on its 10th week. Wow. That's a fun fact. See, Cam, that's a fun fact. Take notes here, buddy.

Pretty impressive stuff right there. So, Stu, those hard Foreigner jams, those are 70s songs, I guess? Yeah. Okay. See, this one, I didn't realize this one was so old. I would have pinned this at like 86 or something. I'll tell you why.

Oh. Because this was their number one. He set me up. He made me say that. This was their most successful song to date and the band's biggest hit until, this is exciting, the band did have a number one. Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute.

This isn't their biggest hit? No. That's shocking. They had a song that came out four years later that went to number one. That song is called I want to know

what love is. Yeah, I was going to say. I want you to show me so much love. Wow. So I want to know what love is might be the song

that I saw on Doogie Howser and that's probably the 80s song. Those two might get mixed up a lot. Can we talk about REO Speedway? Yeah, of course.

They had Big Jam. What was their, because I feel like they were sort of another hard soft. Then they became huge when they went soft. What is REO Speedway?

What are their big songs? Okay, the one that was everywhere for me was And I can't fight this feeling anymore. Okay, yeah. Right. I've forgotten, but I've started fighting for you.

Do you remember the band REO Speed Dealer? They were like a Toronto band from the 90s. No, I don't know those guys. I don't know those guys. I do have a note from Steve Leggett I just want to read. So Steve. Shout out to Steve. And I'm going to keep on loving you.

He says, Close My Eyes Forever by Ozzy and Lita Ford is a good soft jam by rockers if you're looking for tunes. Are we going to be hearing that? I know. I just thought I'd... Okay, that was going to be on my notes. I just like it when people engage live. Remember when Lita Ford was on Roller Games? Did you ever watch Roller Games? She was the musical guest on Roller Games. I always felt like Lee Aaron

was our Lita Ford. Yeah. Roller Games came out at the same time as American. Like the ice box. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Wow.

That was a great. They were trying to do like a pro wrestling. Yes. It was like pro wrestling. It's hot. The roller derby. Let's bring it back. God damn it.

Rock and roller games. Yeah. Now I've got REO Speedwagon stuck in my head. Skinny Minnie was like this lady that was like Skinny Minnie in the ice train or the ice box. I don't think ever. Who's the ice train's a wrestler? i don't think ever who's the ice trains a wrestler no ice box i guess he would like go and like wiggle on the people like all right guys i'm gonna mix it up so i started with these uh hair hair band ballads i did home sweet home by motley

crew and every rose has its thorn by poison and i thought i should mix it up a bit here. Just so you can kick the shit out of me. No complaints. I love the song. You really have to think about how hard Wicked Garden was. Sex type. I feel like all of these grunge acts had soft songs. They had to. That was part of it.

This is from Core. That's the name of the album, right? Core. The song's called Creep, right? It was purple, yeah. Creep. One of many Creeps. I was going to say, yeah, three songs that were massive hits called Creep within like a year.

Yeah, yeah. Shout out to my pal Eli the Creep who watches our show. Shout out to Eli. There's not got to turn. Got no meaning just to run. Take time. Take time. You ready?

Ready? Together, everybody. Take time with a wounded hand Cause I'd like to steal Close enough. Take time with a wounded hand Cause I'd like to steal Take time with a wounded hand Here it comes. Here it comes.

Okay, gentlemen, let me just propose to you that... Hold on, hold on, hold on. Stop the music. Stop the rock and roll. This is hot rod talking. Okay, sorry. Go ahead. Thank you, sir.

Okay, core. So I don't know about you guys, but I heard plush. And I said... You haven't said who the band is. Who's the band? Who are we listening to? The Stu Stone Temple Pil listening to Stone Temple Pilots Stone Temple Pilots

this is core the album's called core and the first big hit for this band was Plush and I don't know but you guys

I still love Plush I ran a tall sofa got time time to wait for tomorrow but then you buy this album

so I buy this CD because I love Plush and then I hear it fucking starts with Dead and Bloated do you remember this album. So I buy this CD because I love plush. And then I hear it fucking starts with Dead and Bloated. Do you remember this? Yes. Dead and Bloated,

then Sex Type Thing, then Wicked Garden. Like, honestly, it's so heavy. Yeah. All this is going down. And then suddenly there's a song

jammed in the middle called Creep. And it's got radio play and everything. It was a... Big hit. Well, it's a medium-sized hit. Medium-sized hit.

It was a big hit. Was it a big hit? Yeah, man. For sure.... Big hit. Well, it's a medium-sized hit. Medium-sized hit. It was a big hit. Was it a big hit? Yeah, man. For sure. Okay, well, I mean, I would hear it on The Hog. 640 The Hog.

This was a big hit. Okay. I'm going to look it up. I feel like you still hear this. How big a hit was it? Okay. Big hit, okay. There's an album

Rock Tracks chart, so it doesn't ever appear on the billboard hot 100 there was a video for this song it was like a like a very 90s black and white video well this is a band i i saw live i paid real money several times to see sometimes i always saw them like pissed off i mentioned this before but they i saw them open for the red out chili peppers and i saw them open for lincoln Hot Chili Peppers and I saw them open for Linkin Park. They opened for the Rolling Stones, too.

But they kept opening, like, this is a big fucking rock band that kept, like, and I could tell Scott Wiley was always really late and always, or usually really late and a little pissed off

that he wasn't the closer. What was he up to? And I remember one time he was really late when he was opening for Linkin Park and I went on my phone to see if he had overdosed

maybe this was it, maybe he OD'd this is how close, we all were wondering when would this guy croak I never was wondering that I was because this man was so addicted to heroin and we've seen what happened with Lane Staley can I say something kind of dark related to this?

as if what Mike was saying was light? No, I'm just saying, and I bet you guys have had similar experience to this. So I was at a Christmas party. That is dark. In December of 2015. And you know, they're playing all the hits of the day. And all of a sudden they start playing Interstate Love Song. Oh, nice.

And I sort of had that moment like Scott Whelan must have just died or something. I'm just saying, have you ever had a moment where you just hear something or I feel like there's a lot of social media versions of this now? Yeah, if you see someone's name trending, you're like, oh. Exactly, but I'm like at this Christmas party and they're playing like just top

40 hits and then all of a sudden they play Interstate Love Song. I'm like, oh shit. You see a name trending you assume they crow Big Empty was a good slow song from these guys was that in the Crow yeah we played

we kicked it out I'm sure we kicked it out it was from Purple yeah so but okay so I guess the reason I'm kicking out this jam is because

Core was so fucking hard I found it really hard and I really dug it I mean I think I'm winning this episode. I know Cambrio already is going to play that. I'm going to finish strong. I'm killing you guys. By the way, here's another

trivia question. Beyond being sort of 90s guitar bands, what do I Mother Earth and Stone Temple Pilots have in common? Okay, let me think. They were both picked by Toronto Mike. No. Toronto Mike saw them open for people. Well, let me think. They were both picked by Toronto Mike. No. Toronto Mike saw them open for people. Well, you probably did.

Yeah, I did. Anyway, I'll just, I'm not sure you guys will get this. I believe both bands were named initially they were just initials and then they went to bands. So I found this out while I was researching iMother Earth. They had IME. What should this mean?

I think STP was the same thing. It was based on kind of motor oils. I think that's more fun than he usually delivers. I like that one. It's on Wikipedia, iMotherEarth. Enter promo code CAM for a free live. Cambrio. Okay, and we have a...

Oh, you know, finally, let's leave the rock genre for a moment. Why not? Oh, this is my next. Okay. So do you want to set it up? I got some good, good fun facts for this.

Some good learnings. Okay. This is Cam Gordon's fourth jam. Jeff Healy. We'll get to him in a second. And I know he was on your GLB episode. Or he came out, his name came out. We talked about Angel Eyes. Oh yeah, the song Angel.

Angel Eyes, right? Right, right. Yeah. Is this like Rayquan or something? This is the whole gang. It's the Wu-Tang Clan. That is Rayquan rapping. Yeah. This is the Wu-Tang Clan,

The Heart Gently Weeps from 2007 I've never heard this you should pick up the album Eight Diagrams it's from that album featuring an interesting trio of people that's Erykah Badu the female voice you hear on guitar

none other than John Frusciati John Frusciante him too from the Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as... One of the prolific guitar players of the generation. Yeah, yeah.

He's back on the band. As well, apparently, on acoustic... Frusciati. What did I say? Frusciati. Frusciati. Oh, that's close enough.

John Frusciante. Okay. I can't judge pronunciation. I like it though. That's on brand. On brand. Yeah. It's not as bad as... What did I say, Jodakai?

Yeah, Jodakai. That was like an all-time. That was the worst. Anyway, this also features some acoustic guitar by George Harrison's son. Oh, that's cool. Danny Harrison? Donnie? Yeah, yeah, Donnie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Danny, I think. So this song, yeah, from the album Eight Diagrams, which only went to number 25. Is this the one that Martin Shrek-y or whatever paid like a million dollars for? No, no, no. No, I think that was after. Like, this album came out in 2007.

This is sort of like the private symphony of the Wu-Tang Clan. Yeah, like, I remember when this came out, like, this was the thing. Yeah. Well, you didn't pick up... And I'm a Wu-Tang Clan, like, huge fan. I was going to say, you're a completist.

You clearly didn't pick up the Rolling Stone Wu-Tang Clan like huge fan I was gonna say you're a completist you clearly didn't pick up the Rolling Stone end of year issue in 2007 because this was the 50th best track of the year wow okay now out of respect

to George Harrison the RZA who produced the song we love you Rocky he asked Donnie Donnie to play rhythm guitar and it was played

using a mint condition Gretsch guitar from 1961 which the RZA had received as a gift from Russell Crowe when they were filming the movie American Gangster that RZA was in.

There's Method Man. Yeah. I know he's in The Wire. This is just like really bizarre that this Wu-Tang Clan is doing this. This is just so strange to me. You've never heard this? No, this is like the opposite of anything I've ever heard. Because it doesn't have their hard edge.

It's very soft, which is why we're listening to it. It's shocking. And I like why we're listening to it. It's shocking. And I like these jams that provoke conversations. I don't think they perform this song live, do they? Not a fan favorite, is it? I don't know. It's the 50th best song of the year. Did 50 songs come out that year?

In 2007? Sure. Who's number one? I'll check the check the tapes can I make a comment about the Jeff Healy version of this song that I never knew

George Harrison and Jeff Lynn played on that song is that generally known did I miss that I think that's in this the Tom Stevens episode of Toronto Mike

yeah and also like Mark Knopfler was on that album like this was the follow-up to See the Light I think it was called Hell to Pay did you know Sting

is the guy who sings, I want my MTV? I did know that. That's a great cameo there. I did know that. That was like 40 weeks ago. At some point, you know, it was news to me to learn that the great VP of sales,

Tyler Campbell, has been, apparently he's been putting together like Spotify playlists of all of our Pandemic Fridays. VP of sales, Tyler Campbell, has been, apparently he's been putting together Spotify playlists of all of our Pandemic Fridays. I don't know how to make it easy to find or anything like that, because I tried to search for Pandemic Friday. I wasn't able to dig one up. I might have just Googled it

or something. Well, we have to figure that out. Maybe we could link to it somehow. This is very Wu-Tang. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, It seemed like too much of a departure for me. It's an appropriate song. Badly wounded, did they say? Any Wu-Tang song. I'm begging you.

Just like anything. Just to erase the memory. What a cast of characters on that song. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Do you want me to dive into your fourth jam, Stu? Or do you want to say anything?

I think he needs a moment. Yeah, I need a moment. Anyway, you know what I almost suggested but this one fit after I heard this I went back and listened to I forgot how much I like this song You Got Me by The Roots with Erykah Badu that's why I thought this also seemed like a Kirkland

kind of version of that a little bit I gotta tell you it's definitely not your expression and that is definitely not one of Wu-Tang's and I consider myself to be a number one Wu-Tang Clan fan type of fan. And yet. And I've never heard that.

And yet, Cam digs up a song that I wish that I'd never heard. There you go. You can never unhear that. But it is cool that RZA did that. And RZA, I consider him a friend. Now, moving on. Is that true? Did you jump on stage with him too?

He was on our show Blowing Up. Wyclef? No. We pitched our album to him. We went to his studio. This is the stuff. Don't be shy about this stuff. I'm telling you.

Because Cam and I will never experience this. Did he give you a guitar? He did not give us a guitar, but he definitely was so awesome. He's the man. Wow. Okay. Prolific. Now, I just played a song.

Speaking of prolific. I just played a song by Stone Tell. I'm thinking, well, Older D Prolific. Now, you know, I just played a song by... Speaking of prolific. I just played a song by Stone Tell. I'm thinking, well, Old Dirty Bastard's no longer with us. Sure. I just played a song by Scott Wyatt. Don't bury the leader. He's no longer with us. Lemmy's dead.

Now, wait a minute. You guys picked songs from 90s grunge acts. Seattle acts, I guess. Is this head? Let's play this one. It's not head. Oh, God. Every time you think of grunge, you think of head.

Head. Well, I know what it is because I was obsessed with this soundtrack. And soundtrack we've covered before. By the time pandemic fries over, we will have heard every song on the soundtrack. I think we would have heard every song in the soundtrack. I think we would have heard every song in the universe. The English language. It's possible. At some point, we'll exhaust.

Sonically, this is recorded. The guitar's in your left ear. Oh. You didn't know what song this was? No, I knew it after. I knew the first big twang. I think you kind of had to be into the soundtrack though i love it Another place to hide it all And I'm lost

Behind Words I'll never find And I'm left Behind And seasons roll by We have The seasons Ironically I could have included this song In last week's episode

Cam played Seasons by Expose Seasons Change This is Seasons as well By Chris Cornell The late great Chris Cornell This is an autumn gem The word Seasons is in it Seasons Change

No because we shit all over cam for that I'm using hit That's why Anyway What did the FOTMs think about seasons change? They thought it was a piece of shit Did you do a poll? Did you do a poll?

I did Informal Yeah Where's the chat? There was an audio Chris Cornell For those that don't recognize This is Chris Cornell

Don't listen to us if you don't know that voice Chris Cornell There's a cat I was talking about great rock vocalists Chris Cornell. Don't listen to us if you don't know that voice. Chris Cornell. There's a cat. I was talking about great rock vocalists. Chris Cornell is certainly one of them. One of the finest rock vocalists of his era, Chris Cornell. Soundgarden was the band from Seattle, Washington. And this is a solo effort.

This is a solo effort from a single soundtrack. There's a lot of fun facts to go around. But the main part about it, if you remember the movie, Cameron Crowe, the movie Singles, which starred Matt Dillon, who was the lead singer of a Seattle grunge act called Citizen Dick. Right. And a plot point in that Chris Cornell was actually in the movie if you recall. As was Pearl Jam. Yes. So I think Allison Chains as well maybe.

Maybe. And is this the second song by that director that we've referenced tonight? Yes. Interestingly enough in the movie Matt Dillon's character leaves the band Citizen Dick and has a solo album.

And Chris Cornell took it upon himself to write this song as the solo song. Cameron Crowe didn't ask him to do that. No one told him to do that. He just said, hey, if he's going to have a solo song, let me record something. He went to the set and played this for everybody. And it ended up on the soundtrack and in the movie and of course it's funny, I have a quote here.

Cornell was a mensch. It's fantastic. Cameron Crowe, I want to get to this quote. Holy shit this is Chris Cornell as Cliff Poncier recording all these songs with lyrics and total creative vision and he has recorded the entire fake solo cassette.

So there is an actual entire cassette of songs that Chris Cornell wrote that I don't know if they've ever been unearthed, but this was, uh, the, this is one of them. He recorded all these songs with lyrics in total creative vision, and he's recorded the entire fake solo cassette. Uh, the EP would simply be known as Ponce and it's fantastic. And Seasons comes on and you just can't help but go, wow, this is a guy we've only

known in Soundgarden and of course he's incredibly creative, but who's heard him like this? And of course this showcases Chris Cornell like we've never heard him before and what a beautiful voice and rest in peace. Chris Cornell changes no, seasons. Seasons. Seasons change. Seasons change. Chris Cornell doing Seasons and Chris Cornell rests peacefully Nope. Seasons. Seasons. Seasons change.

Seasons change. Chris Cornell doing Seasons and Chris Cornell Rest Peacefully. Great choice. What was the band in Almost Famous? The song was called Fever Dog. No. Stillwater. Stillwater, yeah.

Because here's my weekly mention of another podcast, and it won't be the last. I'll just say that because I know one of the other tracks coming out. No, but I was just saying they recently did, talked about Almost Famous on the Rewatchables podcast with Bill Simmons and friends.

But he mentioned, I think, Bill Simmons said he was given a, sorry, what's the band again? Stillwater. A Stillwater tour jacket from Cameron Crowe. Wow. Or these exist.

Fever Dog was a good song. Yeah. So it just reminded me, you know, kind of this anecdote that Stu gave in terms of like, you know, these things that are sort of props in music. It's one of my, one of the most watchable,

like re-watchable movies I can think of. Almost Famous? I really am a big fan of Almost Famous. I gotta say. Philip Seymour Hoffman is amazing, even though it's a small role. He's amazing in it. Does singles, though, hold up?

I haven't seen singles in a long time. Yeah. But Almost Famous holds up. I was gonna say, singles, like, they were older, too. Like, they're all in their 30s. They weren't, like, kids. Like, Matt Dillon was probably his 30s, and what was it, Bridget Fonda? Bridget Fonda, absolutely.

Right. There's a question about like are my boobs too small? And then the guy goes sometimes. Sorry, was that a lie? No, no. She goes, are my breasts too small? And he goes, sometimes. And I was like, that's a terrible answer. I think I think

of Reality Bites. Reality Bites. Is that the one where he goes, all I need is five bucks and a pack of smokes and I'm happy or something? That was like Ethan Hawke. You say, I only hear what I want.

Lisa Loeb. Oh my God. Lisa Loeb, man. By the way, that video was directed by Ethan Hawke. Yeah. That's an underrated

karaoke song, by the way. I did a movie with Lisa Loeb. Am I supposed to give you real talk there? Is that true? Yeah. It's called Serial Killing for Dummies, also known as Serial Killing 101. I did a movie with Lisa Loeb. Am I supposed to give you real talk there? Is that true? Yeah. It's called Serial Killing for Dummies, also known as Serial Killing 101. I did it in 1997,

starring Lisa Loeb and Thomas Hayden Church from Wings. Oh my god, I know Thomas. He was also in the wine-drinking pretentious California... I was going to call it Unfaithful. Sideways. Yeah, so that was cool.

Now that it's getting dark, and I'm not going to get the lights, because I think this is perfect for this, because I'm closing, I'm not closing yet, because this is the fourth jam, but ready for a slow jam by a hard band? Hell yes.

And a little CanCon in here. Here we go. Stu's playing video games. This is so exciting. Oh, good track. Polka? What? God.

Wait, is this the second jam from these guys? And when it's getting out of me I keep I did Molly, Crew, and Poison. Right. Can you picture as the days gone by When love went blind And you would make me see

I'd stare a lifetime We need to do bands without borders. Like bands with people from different countries. Which this band would qualify. Like the band. Yeah, the band, exactly. Or a foreigner. Mamas and the Papas.

Right. Yeah. I wonder if this is CanCon. Like, does this qualify as CanCon? I don't know. Like, everyone's American but Sebastian Bach, right? Okay, so, so much to say here. Firstly, this was at number six on the Billboard Hot 100.

What is it? Okay, sorry. I should start with that, right? I Remember You by Skid Row. And I had this album. I had this CD as well. Because it had Youth Gone Wild. 18 and Life.

Yeah, so those two jams. 18 in life. Yeah. So those two jams. Ricky was a young boy. They were Q107 staples and those were hard rocking songs. Soaring vocals. And this thing was this beautiful ballad. It's beautiful, right? Yeah.

Am I crazy? I think this is a sweet song. I love it. It was number six on the Billboard Hot 100. With a bullet. They were a big deal in New Zealand, where they reached number two. Okay. And this builds up to my final jam.

So let me just say that in 19... I think in 1989, there was a rock festival of American bands, because we'll call Skid Row an American band, that was making their way to Moscow. Moscow is in Russia. I don't know if you know that. Yeah. And there's my final jam.

We'll have something to do with that. And then I'll talk about a podcast I recently listened to because some FOTMs recommended it. I've listened to the same podcast,

so I'd be happy to break it down. You're a friend of Klaus as well. Yeah. We'll talk about that. Shout out to Doc McGee. But earlier, we heard some oh, fucking listen to this.

Oh, this is like a great, great song. Yes. How is Sebastian Bach not problematic? Isn't he like a doesn't he have a bad reputation? Does he? I saw him in The Rock of Ages. Shout out to Joe Jack. He's in The Rock of Ages.

I was thinking he played Phantom of the Opera, but I think I'm thinking of Paul Stanley. Yeah, Paul Stanley did that. He did, yeah. Sebastian Bach? Sebastian Bach was in Rock of Ages, which I played with that Tom Cruise movie based on the stage play after the Def Leppard.

Because we could have done Love Bites, right? Love Bites would have been perfect tonight. Love Bites! I think Love Bites would have been great tonight. Now, Mike, when you make love, do you look in the mirror? He's from, sorry, getting back to Sebastian Bach. He's from Peterborough.

I think so. I think you're right. And Skid Row would play at the Gasworks on Yonge Street. Yeah, Skid Row. So, okay, we heard Ozzy Osbourne earlier tonight. Yeah. Ozzy was on this big tour that went to Moscow, and along with us,

Maltley Crew was on this bill, which I played. Yeah. And Skid Row was on this bill. Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was on the bill, but we didn't hear any Bon Jovi. I think there's a lot of soft Bon Jovi songs. Yeah, and Cinderella. And don't name the final.

Don't name the European band. A little band from. I'm going to do Alan Cross. Do you remember the name of the city? Because I do. Hamburg. Right? It was Hamburg.

I think it was Hanover. Oh, it was Hanover. It was Hanover. Fucking right. No, I literally just finished listening to this like two days ago. I enjoyed it. And it gave me ideas for like

there's similar topics here in Toronto. We could do that. Oh, you could totally do this. Yeah. No, it's really, really well done. The great Fitzy actually recommended it to me.

See, I want to, and again, I should probably be, I'll say this when I kick out the final jam. So Stu, what do you think of Skid Row? I remember you.

It's a good song. It just sounds a lot like a bunch of other songs that are from that same couple of year period. Like Home Sweet Home? So Stu What do you think of Skid Row I remember you It's a good song It just sounds a lot like A bunch of other songs That are from that same Couple of year period Like Home Sweet Home All of them

And Every Rose Yeah They all kind of sound Like the same song And I'm kicking them all out Yeah They all kind of sound Like the same song

And I think Axl Rose Probably studied A little bit of this Because Sebastian Bach And Axl were good buds Of course Same here Yeah

Along with Shannon Hoon. May he rest in peace. And FOTM Moe Berg. Oh, my God. Right. Yeah. By the way, your neighbors are like flashing their lights. They're in distress or something.

Is that right? There's a lot of excitement going on here. Bojana's that way. Bojana's that way. Shout out to Bojana, who had her debut last week and was fantastic. A lot of people like Bojana. She's climbing a 20-foot ladder. Cut the shit out of that way. Shout out to Bojana who had her debut last week and was fantastic. A lot of people like Bojana. Climbing a 20 foot ladder. Cut the shit out of that grass. I listened back and there was a moment

where Stu talked about the body under the ladder. Honestly, I laughed out loud. Did you have a nap at the bottom of that ladder or did she fall off that? Actually, Mike, before we get our next jam, you said you actually listened to the last episode of Pandemic Fridays and you LOL'd several times.

Tell us more about that. I LOL'd several times. Yeah. Tell us more about that. Okay. I DM'd you guys of this. I didn't know what to say in public, but why not? Real talk, Mike. Because when I go for my 90-minute bike ride every day, I like to listen to other people's podcasts that I wasn't in the room for. I never really listened. I never listened to Toronto Mike on those bike rides because I know I was there.

So I just thought for shits and giggles, let me try the most recent Pandemic Friday and just see how it plays. Before you say that, why is it okay for you not to listen to the show because you were there but it's not okay for me to listen to the show because I was there. I said you should listen to episodes that are not Pandemic Friday. I have. I have.

What's he talking about, Cam? Cam is a card-carrying member. Name an episode of Toronto Mike you've listened to that did not include Cam Gordon or Stu Stone. I'm not going to be treated this way. So go ahead and tell your bike riding anecdote about how funny I was. Go ahead.

So I listened to it on a bike ride. So I tried to listen to it. I listened to the last 90 minutes because I knew that's how long the ride was. And I tried to listen to it as if I, like I'm not me. I'm not Toronto Mike. I'm just listening to a podcast.

And I promise you, I swear to you, several times, first of all, I loved it because we're playing fucking we play the songs and you know we go rogue like that and uh I I just there was so much funny like there were moments in that episode that made me laugh out loud even though I was in the room there was a moment near the end when Cam had had enough and he was going at you Stu and I mixed it up with the whole California Dreamin' double take and honestly it was just entertaining as fuck.

You want a good quick laugh? Knock knock. Who's there? Not Alan Cross. That's FOTM humor right there. Thank you. Just made that up. Shout out to Brother Bill. Can I kick out your final jam, Cam?

Sure. Why not? One, two, one, three, four. By the way, not the last whistle song we'll hear tonight. The Andy Griffith Show theme made it. Frankie Knuckles. I picked this song too, Cam. It's a good one.

I think we all picked it. Yeah, we actually all picked this song. But we gave it to Cam because we like him. Who did Whistle? Was that Pitbull? We'll have to ask Levi Thumka. That's me whistling perfectly, by the way. I'm doing my serpentine thing again.

I've been walking the street. It's coming up. in about five minutes. Every day now. Love it. I love it. That's why we all picked it. We all picked this song. No brainer.

And really, it's not the final whistle song you're going to hear tonight. There's no doubt you're in my heart now. Said one, take it slow. Sounds of time. Shh. All we need is just a little patience. Set your gun like it's going to come together fine. All we need is just a little patience. You want to talk it up before the big finish?

Yeah. Where it ceases to be a slow, sweet ballad and turns into a rocker? Yeah, I'm calling the kettle black over here. Yeah, so... Just pointing out the facts. Class house mic. Yeah, so I'm actually not going to say much. I'm just going to let

this song play out, but this is, of course, Guns N' Roses' Patience from GNR Lives, which I'm still sort of confused what kind of album that was. It was like half... Yeah, it was like half EP,

half their debut album. It was basically to get them to the next studio album. It was like a bridge, right? Shout out to Moose Grumpy. Like in utero, right? Incesticide. Incesticide is the way I've never been in utero. I meant incesticide.

This song went to number four in the Billboard Hot 200. Third straight top ten hit for the Gunners. No, fourth straight after Welcome to Jungle, Sweet Child of Mine, Paradise City. Remember the video? They're in the hotel room.

Snakes or snakes. Slash has the snake. Slash has the snake. Snakes from the grassy. By the way, this is the anniversary of Wheels dying. Is it? I saw this on... Yeah, it was actually Kathleen.

We should do the podcast about that. Happy anniversary. Anyway, that video was directed by Nigel Dick, who also directed such videos as Do They Know It's Christmas Time? Hit Me Baby One More Time for Britney Spears. And I didn't know she had songs. Brooke Hogan, Everything to Me.

Is that Hulk's Daughter? Yeah. And the aforementioned Chris Cornell. Actually, there was a posthumous version of this song. It's called Posthumous. Posthumous. Is John Fruciati on that one? Yes.

Shout out to Joe Dekai. And Mos Def in appearance. Anyway, Chris Cornell's version just came out this past summer on July 20th of this year. So you can go dig this up. He does some good cover versions. Speaking of problematic, he covers Billy Jean. He does a nice job.

Yeah, he does cover that song. Why don't we just let this play out? Here we go, boys. Here we go. Good campfire song. Wow. Wow. Kind of like Stairway, right?

Is it something I said or something I did? It's girl talk. I'll remember you. We should merge them all together there's a hard son there's a little patience mama I'm coming home I've been waiting for a girl like you

I've been walking the streets tonight Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with It's hard to see what's spinning around You know I don't like being stuck in the ground And the streets don't seem fun, baby. But, babe, I ain't got time for the game. Because I need you. Swa, swa, nice to meet you. I need you.

Yeah, I need you. I need you. All this time. I need you So long as time It's like the end of Don't Cry. Shannon Hoon. This song was actually pretty soft the whole way, like even the heavy part. Yeah, you're right.

It's still acoustic. Great song. No, great. Well, we all picked it. So we're all patting ourselves on the back. No brainer. No brainer. Awesome example of a horror band doing a soft jam.

Guns N' Fucking Roses. What's this song like live? Is this kill? This seems like this might actually not be a great live song. Good news. It was good. I saw them, and it was great. And if you go see Guns N' Roses, there isn't a song on their catalog they don't play.

No, you're right. No joke, it was over three hours. And they play everything. You never heard a Guns N' Roses song on the radio that is not played in that concert. One of the many concerts cancelled due to COVID-19. With the Smashing Pumpkins were supposed to open. Oh, that would be a very long concert.

Now Cam picked a very prolific band called Wu-Tang Clan earlier on. Wu-Tang Cam. Wu-Tang forever. Came up with a song that was a bit of a departure from their normal sound. Right. And I know that Mike has suggested on numerous occasions that he wishes to cover new metal on this show.

I do want to do a new metal episode. Nude metal. I'm a big new metal guy. this show. He's a big new metal guy. Nude metal. I'm a big new metal guy. I decided to go with a new metal slow jam

that is a departure from the band's other songs. Just confirming this is NU-metal. Yes. That's correct. Let's give it a spin, shall we? Let's do it. No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the bad man to be the sad man

behind blue eyes and no one knows what it's like to be hated to be faded to telling only lies But my dreams

They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours Only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free You're listening to Limp Bizkit, Behind Blue Eyes. Limp Bizkit.

The song was actually panned in America. I'm not surprised. It went to number one in many countries. Wow, I did not surprised. It went to number one in many countries. Wow. I did not know that. Czech Republic, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Norway. Wow. Wow. Europe, Belgium, France, Netherlands.

They all thought it was an original. Switzerland. That's not true. Did you say Europe? I did say Europe. Is Europe a country? No, that's a continent. Australia, number five in New Zealand.

The final canton. Big hit song all over the world. Was this their biggest hit ever? No. That's Nookie. But a good friend of mine, DJ Lethal, Oh my God!

He was a part of Limp Bizkit. Yes. And House of Pain. And House of Pain, right? Wow, I'm always impressed you know that guy. This guy went to the top twice. Limp Bizkit and House of Pain.

But you're going to hear something coming up shortly here. Lethal's contribution to this song is quite notable. And I wonder if you can tell me here. Lethal's contribution to this song is quite notable and I wonder if you can tell me why. And Stu, when did this come out? This was probably like early 2000s.

Yes. I've definitely heard this. He played this at the 9-11 memorial. So check it out. Do you hear this? Oh. Notice anything? So that's DJ Legal playing a speakin' spell.

The 80s toy speakin' spell, if you had that. Sure. We all did, man. We're all kids of the 80s. Very, uh, okay, okay Cupid. Okay Cupid. Okay computer. Okay computer. I cannot talk today.

Well, me neither. So very cool. I actually like this cover. And the song is told from the perspective of sort of a villain, being like, you don't know what it's like to be me. I'm actually okay. A bad man. Do you remember?

So there's a big concert for 9-11 relief or whatever. And do you remember Fred Durst sitting on like a chair and doing this like acoustic? I think I do remember that. I feel like he was with the Googoo Dolls guy was there too. Maybe. He's a Buffalo guy. Shout out to Buffalo. There is a video that I've seen online of Fred Durst and Lethal performing at just the two of them on television.

Like, you know, on Top of the Pops or one of these types of shows. Oh, yeah. And I think Lethal actually busts out the speaking spell, like, and does it on the thing, which is kind of cool. Obviously, not such a mind blow, but, I mean, we can just, you know, not such a mind blow, but maybe it is for people who only know the Limp Bizkit song, Behind Blue Eyes. And what do you guys think of The Who?

I feel like The Who, I like them. Are you burying the lead here? I'm not. I'm just saying. People know this is a cover. Maybe they don't. It's a mind blow from Stu.

Someone out there is learning right now that's a cover. Somebody is. Never assume. Raja Daltri? Written by Peter Townsend. No, no, sure. The Windmill Man.

Interestingly enough, originally this was supposed to be for Pete's side act called Lifehouse. The band didn't want this song because it was too much of a departure from the Who's sound. And it turned out to be a conflict between the band, but it ended up coming out and it performed not very well, necessarily in the US,

but performed well in all these European countries and overseas. Such a funny parallel there, and the reason why this is such a fun fact and a mind blow is because the exact same thing happened with the Limp Bizkit song. It was such a departure for Limp Bizkit. The other band members maybe weren't thrilled about it.

And it ended up not really connecting with their American fan base, but connected overseas and was number one everywhere. That's the same thing happened to The Who. That's probably never happened twice to the same song with two different bands singing it. I guess people came around on this because this was definitely on Q107. Well, now it's considered a classic. It's a classic now. When I was driving home from visiting my boy in Waterloo, I picked

up an alt-rock station from London and they were playing Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit. It was on regular. Still in the mix. Yeah, it was still in the mix. Very good. Actually, I did dig hearing it. It's been enough time that I can like it again. It's fine.

Enough time has been good. I think that I've been in a room where it's just, I swear to God, it's just been me and Limp Bizkit rehearsing for their tour or whatever. And they like literally, like a room the size of your deck. All of them were there. The size of my what? Your deck. Your deck.

Oh, I think it's my deck. Now, that would be an even smaller room. That would be a tiny room. That would not be a big room. The size of your wooden deck. But big enough. Your backyard deck. I've never hadC-K. Now, that would be an even smaller room. That would be a tiny room. That would not be a big room. The size of your wooden deck. But big enough. Your backyard deck. I've never had a complaint.

He said wood. The entire band was in there playing the entire set, all the hits. Wow. It was just incredible. Wow. You know, these guys are at the top of the world. And why are you resisting the new metal? I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of that genre.

Like, I wasn't. I feel like it's our bad for our time. Just to warn you guys. Is there a skunk? I saw a skunk run away, but it went away from us. Of course, Limp Bizkit, before we say goodbye to them,

let's see if we can refresh Cam's memory on the band members. You've got Jacksonville, Florida's own Fred Durst, Sam Rivers, John Otto, DJ Lethal, Wes Borland. Joel Otto. The band has been nominated for three Grammy Awards and sold 40 million records worldwide.

Still a big deal, I feel like. For sure. They still tour. They tour. Do we know, like, is Fred Durst, is he like a MAGA guy now or anything? Not at all, no. Definitely not. I'm just checking.

I don't think so. He wore a red hat before Trump did, though. That's what made me think of it, actually. So did Eric Davis. You know Alan Cross's favorite song of all time? I do. It's a Peter Gabriel song, right? Well, maybe it's changed, but I know he said that

Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who is his favorite song of all time. When he kicked out the jams, yeah, and he loved that. It's the best scream and dog. Yeah, which I was a little surprised to hear, you know, the King of Alt Rock.

And I love The Who, but I also think they're a little overrated. I think so. Properly rated? No, they're properly rated. I'll tell you what. Mom's got a squeeze box.

Daddy doesn't sleep at night. I just don't know if anything other than Bob O'Reilly blows me away. My generation. Who are you? Those are better than that. I'm not saying they're bad. I will say that they were the

inventors of our era anyway. The farewell tour. They've probably done like 200 different farewell tours. This is true. They had a song that was covered by Pearl Jam that I quite liked. It's for an Adam Sandler movie. And if you can name it before I can cheat on what it is, that would be cool. Pictures of Lily.

Keep going, keep going. Anyone, anyhow. I'm a boy gonna I'm a boy I'm a boy da da da no it's can't explain

we've talked about yeah that's a great song we've talked about Bubba O'Reilly actually yeah they're good and yeah but behind Blue Eyes

we're talking about right now but I wanna actually their cover of Under My Thumb is good too they're a great band.

I got nothing but good things to say about these guys. Squeezebox. Love Rain Over Me. Oh, yeah. It's over me. That's from Tommy, isn't it? Love Rain Over Me. I don't know who Elm is on, but it was on an Adam Sandler.

It was in an Adam Sandler movie. And Pearl Jam covered it, and it kicked ass. I just want to point that out. Okay. So we've got one song, oh, one song to go and there's a little, little story, a geopolitical story

that comes on the end that Cam and I can educate everyone about. And shout out to, I think it's Moose Grumpy who turned me on to this podcast that we're going to talk about. But here is a song, a little more whistling. And because I heard the podcast,

I feel I've heard this song a lot lately. Heavily featured, including the title. I guess you picked a different language. That was English. He's down at Gorky Park. I'm sorry. Listening to the wind of change. It's like another song I confused this with. What is it?

When the Children Cry by White Lion. I almost picked that. Yeah, so did I. I almost picked it. Is it Love by White Sink. Huh, Dave again. Carverdale and Page. We could always do like a sequel to any of our popular episodes.

We'll see how long this pandemic goes. Got Rock 2. So maybe we'll get into it, but this song is called Wind of Change and the band is West Germany's, you know, back when there was a West Germany. Scorpions? Scorpions. Yeah.

Is that the Scorpions or just Scorpions? Scorpions, I think. Just Scorpions. So this is a, you know, this is a hard rockin' band. Rockin' like a hurricane. Right. Hold on. Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night where the children of tomorrow Now, historically, this song was released January 91. I found this song that I confused this with.

Okay, which one? Forever Young by Alphaville. Both German pop bands, I have a feeling. Is Alphaville German? I don't think I knew that. Interesting. I like Nina's 99 knew that. Yeah. Interesting. Forever young. I like Nina's 99 Lafballons.

That's my favorite German song. It's a French version. Oh, German. German. Oh, my God. Sorry, I was thinking of her armpits. Mitsu. Let's get our Mitsu reference in.

Yeah, bye-bye, Mon Cowboy. All right, so this came out in January 91, and it became a worldwide hit. Basically, this is just after the failed coup that would eventually lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union. So you guys were old enough. We remember this time. The wall comes down in Germany.

The collapse of the USSR. I remember watching it live on TV. Yeah. It was incredible. It's a big deal. It was incredible. And this song gets a lot of credit for kind of the young people in Russia and in Soviet Union and beyond

kind of embracing this song Wind of Change, which you know Klaus how do you say his last name? Santa Klaus he's the German guy who is credited with writing this song Klaus Minor

actually friends with Klaus played with DJ Liefel so Cam Klaus Minor? Klaus Minor. Actually friends with Klaus. Right, right, right. Well, it's funny. He played with DJ Lethal. So, Cam, do you want to talk a little bit about this podcast? Yeah, let's talk about the podcast. Yeah, why don't you start us off and I'll chime in here. The podcast is called Wind of Change.

Yes. And I strongly recommend it because it was recommended to me by some FOTMs. They said I would like it and I dove in. I would say if you like the Toronto Mike podcast and certainly if you like Pandemic Fridays, you probably like this podcast. Right, because it's kind of a convergence of like pop culture with...

Politics and sort of our generation. Yeah, some real talk. The hypothesis is so the premise is that somebody tells the guy who's putting this podcast together somebody he trusts who has inside information. Kind of a Washington insider

pal. Says that Wind of Change by Scorpions was written by the CIA as a change agent. Like a change agent. Like a covert operation. Propaganda. Right. Propaganda to get to the young people in the USSR to help.S.R. to help

get rid of communism, right? And basically the whole documentary is this journey of sorts, that's another band, to, is this true? And it concludes with an episode where they, you know, in not Hamburg, what's the place? Don't tell me. Hanover.

In Hanover, you know, they're talking to Klaus who is credited with writing this song. And that final episode we finally encountered him um i like the podcast yeah a lot of like great tangents too and just stories of like us sending bands behind kind of the nitty-gritty dirt band i mean that was like of all fucking bands the nitty-gritty fucking dirt band was like kind of you know gonna inspire the nitty gritty fucking dirt band was like, kind of, you know, going to inspire. But then I think they said because they were so inoffensive. And just the whole, you know, it was safe.

The guy behind that concert that we're talking about that happened with Doc McGee. Doc McGee. And about, he had these very big drug charges. Yeah, with like the Noriega. And he's like flying down to Panama. And he flees out with this and then like he ends up doing this concert

which is supposed to be an anti-drug concert with like Motley Crue and Skid Row and Ozzy Osbourne, can you imagine? Yeah. And Scorpions. So Scorpions are on that bill too. Well, they were kind of the veteran and I just remember him saying Sebastian Bach

how disrespectful he was to like Klaus and the Germans making further action and just being like kind of white trash, essentially like Peterborough, like white trash. Right, right, right.

Yeah. Fantastic. And really well done, Mike, you should seriously like do, you know, the Rosie and gray, you know,

as a six part arc podcast. I'm dead serious. Like imagine, you know, wait, can I talk? I've got the idea. I've got the idea.

What's the idea? The idea is Shakespeare, My Bud, the album, you know, Under the Carlaw Bridge, The Only, all the landmarks. Song by song, deconstruction, you and Ron Hawkins walk around the East End because Hawkins

is like a Maine and Danforth guy. Is this a visual pitch? Although now he's a West... There you go,, CBC podcast. This is your CBC breakout. Yeah, there you go. Free idea. I have other ideas too.

Summertime, Summertime of Cowboy. There's a whole thing there, I think. Like behind the music, like Toronto edition. Yeah, but you know what? The problem is it takes a lot of time. The mind of Stu getting deep in the mind of Stu. Cam's tall tales, and it's like a tall guy named Cam. All right, patreon.com slash Toronto Mike.
