This is our seventh episode of Toast.
And as always, I'm joined by Stu Stone.
Hello.
And Cam Gordon.
Hello.
Good to see you guys.
It's been a while.
It's like this is our first time being together, the three of us.
Since I last saw Camberley, I've been here with you for the Canna Cabana.
Many times.
Yeah, a couple times. I've been here for a Toast episode where Cam wasn't here.
Right.
Then I came back and we did that other thing.
We did the Faking a Murderer premiere.
Faking a Murderer premiere. Then we also went to a concert together.
Yeah, we saw the Black Crows
of Canada Kev.
Lots of ground to cover here.
You're passing me by. I've just been
doing jack shit.
You look like you've been doing more than jack shit.
You look lean and good.
I feel like COVID.
You have a nice healthy glow now.
COVID is the best diet ever.
Cam Gordon,
the reason you were not here
for the last episode of Toast
is because you felt under the weather
after a trip east.
That's right.
And you said...
East coast COVID?
Yeah, the maritime COVID.
The PEI COVID.
The chowder.
So how was it?
It was great.
We had a great time.
Not the trip.
Oh, the COVID. Well, here. So to a great time. Oh, the COVID.
To set the table,
originally Cam was like,
I'm not feeling so hot.
Let's move this into the backyard
so I don't infect you in case I have something.
I'm surprised we're not in the backyard tonight.
Why? Do you want to be back there?
You're right, but you've got to give me a little heads up
because I just came straight from soccer.
How was that?
Hold on, one thing at a time. Cause I just came straight from soccer. Oh, straight down here. How was that? It's not an excuse.
Hold on one thing at a time.
So then I got an update from cam.
My,
I'm not feeling good at all.
I'm going to have to zoom it in.
So at that point I'm like,
okay,
Stu and I in the basement and then cam Gordon on zoom,
the show must go on.
And then like last minute,
almost it's like,
I am sick.
I can't even zoom it.
I'm going to send you some robot WAV files.
Cam, tell us what happened
and then give us the story of how you recovered.
Honestly, there's not much to it.
Well, make something up.
Were you bedridden?
Yeah, I got COVID for the second time.
We've kind of litigated
this first time a secret though yeah yeah well i'm very private about uh my personal do we we've
talked about this on uh with brother bill already so i don't want to bore the listeners i do feel
like there's over well you guys did like fucking just do it once it black crows um we'll get to
that yeah i had covid it sucked for like two days and then
the subsequent
like five days
slightly less suck
but yeah
it wasn't fun
did you have any sort of
secret sauce
like a matzo ball soup
or anything like that
oh
I had some
noodles
I had some like
noodle dishes
yeah
lots of noodles
yeah
I think I made like
a Thai like bullshit
oh
type thing
okay
okay
and did
did your
did MF have to like separate from you during this time?
That's a good question.
That's a good question.
Because my brother and his wife just went through this.
Did you guys like just quarantine in your home?
We're lucky because we have a bedroom in the basement.
You have your own bedroom.
Yeah.
And with a desk down there.
So like I worked down there for like the better part of two weeks. And you just told your daughter like stay at your mom's. Don't come over. Yeah. So I, and with a desk down there. So like I worked down there for like the better part of two weeks.
And you just told your daughter,
like stay at your mom's,
uh,
don't come over.
Yeah,
pretty much.
I think I saw her towards the tail end of like 10 days to be extra cautious.
Cause she also had like the end of school coming up and whatnot.
And then,
yeah,
there was all sorts of like shit there.
Oh,
MF is in the live chat.
So for the,
for the,
for the podcast listeners,
live.torontomike.com.
Dita Soup, who's Dita's a friend of mine. Very tasty. She's, live.torontomike.com. Oh yeah, Dita Soup,
who's Dita's friend.
Very tasty.
She's fact-checking you
in real time
because she's a true reporter.
Dita Soup?
Who's Dita?
Dita's a good friend of MF's
and a fine coach.
She makes a good soup?
Yeah, I think it was
like a lentil soup.
I'm a big soup guy,
so maybe Dita could,
you know,
do you have to be
under the weather
to get that soup?
You could fake it, you know, faking murder to get the soup.
Faking an ailment.
Yeah.
This is like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm if you fake COVID to get Dita soup.
Yeah.
I don't, I think we could do it in real life.
Totally.
Yeah.
Report back.
By the way, Neil, who's also in the live show.
Neil says he prefers classic cam to the robot cam.
Who's calling?
Do you want to put him on speakerphone?
Who is it?
Is that lethal?
DJ lethal?
Well, no.
I see.
On the live stream, I can see right into the bathroom.
So at some point, I'll get up and close the door.
That's gross.
I'll fixate on that.
Okay.
I might want to use it while you're in there.
Who the MF is Dita?
I know the guy who could answer that question has left us.
But here, I have a lot of ground I want to cover.
So while Cam closes the door.
So we're finding out Cam had COVID-19.
Have you fully recovered?
I hope so because you're in my basement right now.
Yes, I have.
I feel great.
I've been doing lots of biking.
Very inspirational.
You look lean.
You do look thin.
MF said,
she once called me gaunt.
Well, that's not good.
That's not good.
Okay.
Here, you need some calories,
so I put some IPAs in front of you.

We did see each other.
Yeah.
Okay, we did hang out.

I went with Langer.
It was after.
Yeah, come on.
I went with Langer to see Tea Party and Moist
at the New History place that Drake co-owns.
I've never been there before.
It was very good.

We also spent a lot of time together,
Cam, Mike, and I.
I'm aware.
We didn't go to the park for beers.
Let's just say.
So we did have a toast since the Faking a Murderer premiere, right?
No.
We did do that.
That toast that Cam missed, we talked about Faking a Murderer.

You've tweeted photos.
Do they know that you're doing...
Dean and Mary Jo are together when I record them.
Wow.
They're in cahoots now.

dean he pulls makes he pulls off the impossible every time so that the fact that he has this sort
of unique situation there's nothing that in his life that is not charisma he's got charisma you

Hello, I'm Peter Gross,
official uncompensated imaging voice of Toronto Mike.
It's my absolute pleasure to induct not one,
but two worthy FOTMs into the FOTM Hall of Fame.
Joining Ed Retro Ontario Conroy and Mark 1236 Weisblot
are Stu Stone and Cam Gordon.
Congratulations.
Wow.
I can only dream of such an honor.
There it is.
I can't believe it.
I mean, a joint, like together.
Yeah, just like the Sedin twins.
It also gives Cam an opportunity
to be a double inductee, like on his own.
You know, like for solo efforts.
But this is really
an honor, Mike. I was feeling
weepy as it aired. It's an honor. I can't
believe it. It's such an exclusive club. It really is.
There's now four of you.
I doubled the
members right now. Is there going to be a
plaque to, can StickerU make some stickers or something to like, you can I double the members right now. Is there going to be a plaque?
Can StickerU make some stickers or something so you can stick on the wall of the Hall of Fame?
What's the monetary component?
Let me look you each in the eye.
I know my mic gets bad.
I appreciate that, man.
I'm going to start with you, Stu.
I'm going to start with you, okay?
Yes.
By the way, I'm way more excited than Mark Weisblatt was.
I want to be honest.
He was a disappointment when he was like,
oh, is that right?
I'm telling you right now, I am actually humbled by this honor.
And I know Cam is too.
Cam is a legit.
Cam went from listener to Hall of Famer.
That's right, Dan.
No, from like annoyance in your email box.
I ignored his emails for a decade.
From ignored emails to listener to fan to Hall of Famer.
That's a movie, right?
That's a movie.
Can you make that 5-7 film?
I'd watch that movie.
I would hope you'd make that movie.
Listen, Stu Stone, when I was at the Black Crows,
so Canada Kev gave us tickets.
Yes.
Just shout out, Canada Kev.
Yes, great guy.
He gave us tickets.
We go to the Black Crows.

Great rock band playing live.
What a great night.
You're really eating into our Hall of Fame speech.
I know, but he's kind of so.
And for the second time, a second time in a couple of months, I got high.
Canada Cab kept passing me joints.
Like a hundred joints.
Pass a doochie.
It was constant.
And then normally,
you know,
Stu knows me.
He gives me these low potency joints
because he's like,
this is a rookie or whatever.
But Canada Kev,
he just stopped giving a fuck.
He was passing over these like...
Cannons.
Cannons.
And I just like,
I'm outdoors having the best time.
I'm smoking everything past my way.
Okay.
So I want to say,
shout out to Canada Cabana. Yeah. They won't be undersold on cannabis or cannabis accessories. I'm smoking everything past my way. Okay. So I want to say shout out to Canna Cabana.

It's been a while.
Five years?
I thought there was just an anniversary when you first met Stu. Five years? Five first five years i'm gonna say that it's just been a love fest from the beginning
and even the people that were not big stew fans eventually they either convert over or they just
listen or they just listen to be mad and yell at their podcast device which is fine too right the
point is we have done some really cool stuff together, the three of us.
Cam, my old high school buddy,
and Mike, my new buddy.
The three of us, we have
during the pandemic,
during the pandemic, we got together
every week,
and it went by like that.
It really did.
When we did it, it didn't feel like that,
but now I blinked
the episodes did
what 76
and that finale
I'll never forget
that finale
in front of a
whole whack
of great FOTMs
at Great Lakes Brewery

Cam and I, next time we see you guys, drinks are on Cam.
And I will be there to toast with everybody.
Hats all around.
Yes.
Okay.
So, Stu, you know what you mean to me?
It was earlier this week.
We celebrated knowing each other for four years.
Cause I didn't know you,
you know,
cam said,
you have to have this stew guy on.
And I said,
who's Stu?
And he goes,
my pet monster.
I said,
fucking book them.
That's four years ago this week.
Amazing.
What we've done together,
cam Gordon.
I'm sorry.
I ignored,
but that was PR stuff.
Like I do ignore PR stuff.
This was like a beautiful launch event with like free food i know i know i do did you i don't know if you probably haven't heard kevin shea and uh wax steve wax i need to
listen it opened with steve accusing me of ignoring his email when he was a rep for warner music
he was writing me to get jimuddy on Toronto Mike and he says
I completely ignored him
and I actually stopped down
and called complete bullshit
on that.
There is zero chance
I ignored that email
and I went into my Gmail
and I searched it
and I found out
our exchange had nothing
to do with Jim Cuddy.
He, if anything,
he just said,
hey, can I add you
to my list or something
and maybe we can do
something together
and I said,
oh, I'd love it.
Let's get some Warner talent
on the program
and that was it.
But sorry, are we going to bury the lead like Thurston Moore engaging with Toronto Mike And maybe we can do something together. And I said, oh, I'd love it. Let's get some Warner talent on the program. And that was it.
But sorry, are we going to bury the lead like Thurston Moore engaging with Toronto Mike on Twitter?
Like I've never been.
I once had a little chat with Liz Fair on Twitter.
Wow.
That was probably my moment.
Before you move on so casually, did you want to thank anybody for your rise to the Hall of Fame?
Well, I'll thank Mike.
I'm trying to thank MF. She's Mike. I'm trying to thank MF.
She's listening.
I was going to thank MF, my family,
my longtime pal Stu, Toronto Mike.
I just don't feel like I have to reiterate all this because I agree with everything
and it's been an awesome, awesome time.
Mike, I am trying to remember,
why did you finally reply to my emails?
Was it because I offered you free food
or come by the Twitter office? No, I think it wasn't it wasn't a pri thing it was more like you wrote a personal note about how
i listened to the show i love it you dropped some fotm anecdotes that maybe you're real
and then you're like hey i'd love to come on one day and then i said hey this is a real person a
real heartfelt message and i would like to talk to this guy there you go so i said here's my address
get your ass over here. Yeah. Well, the
rest is history. And I say this sincerely.
This has been awesome.
Just all my appearances
as the all-time, I think I'm still the all-time
most
frequent guest too.
You made a little movie. You got two more
on you. Yeah. Well, I'm trying to
think like who would be the equivalent like base, but
like this is more like Cal Ripken getting in the
Hall of Fame. It's just because he played
the longest. No, Cam, you're
underselling yourself. And you want to know
what? You're a great guy.
You're a great host, a great
co-host, a very knowledgeable guy,
a music lover, and a guy
who, you know, if I was
if my initials were
MF, I would spend the rest of my life with you, Cam,
because you are such a great guy, and I'm just so happy that we get to spend this time together.
And I want to wish you a muzzle tub as well.
Mike, would you like to make the announcement while we've got Cam here?
Not my announcement to make.
I just wondered what Cam thought of this.
I told you I had COVID.
This is down a Bend a Knee.
Right.
Okay, I see.
This is like an ambush here is what this is.
I'm not saying a word.
I'm just playing a fucking song.
You try to like butter me up with the Hall of Fame induction and whatnot.
And I just want to thirst and more.
I'll just look you in your beautiful eyes and ask you one simple question.
Do you have anything else you want to share with the FOTMs?
If not, I'll move on.
I'm just playing a jam.
We'll chat in the DM thread, maybe.
Wow.
How's that?
Fair.
How's that?
We'll see.
Yeah.
You never know who's listening.
Yeah.
Like, this is live on the internet.
I'm a very private person, as you know.
But mazel tov.
Thank you.
Where's my record scratch sound effect when I need it here?
Thank you.
Pulling down that jam.
That was a jam by the way.
I played that jam for no reason at all, right Cam?
Of course not.
Not symbolic of anything.
Well, I'm down on my bended knee and I'm so humbled and honored to be in the Hall of Fame.
My first ever Hall of Fame.
There you go.
First of many.
You'll be in the Donnie Darko Hall of Fame one day. I should be. Absolutely. Okay, so welcome to the Hall of Fame. There you go. First of many. You'll be in the Donnie Darko Hall of Fame.
I should be.
Absolutely.
Okay, so welcome to the Hall of Fame.
You're half of the Hall of Fame.
That's amazing.
So glad you're here.
This is the fourth episode in a row that features a dynamic duo.
This means nothing, but I'm throwing it out there that I had a duo from Bedouin Soundclash. I'm like, what the fuck's the name of the band?
Bedouin Sound Clash, there was a duo
on the show. Then I had the
aforementioned Kevin Shea and
Waxman duo. Then I had
Gord Stelic and
Damien Cox. That's a duo.
And now I have you two.
I actually have a duo on Monday. I just thought it was
interesting that four episodes in a row,
I've had two people on the show.
Well, then you're having Hal Johnson,
ironically, as a single,
even though he's known as a duo, really.
Is he single?
No, no, they live together.
Still?
I had a Zoom with him,
and she was there.
They live together.
He's on a lake somewhere up north.
They're not in the city anymore,
but he was working on the deck.
Wasn't there a controversial thing during COVID?
Wasn't there a Hal Johnson?
He came out as a black man.
He came out to tell us that he once did not get a TSN job
because he was told they already had a black guy.
That's terrible.
That's brutal.
He also had an Arquebiz mustache, I remember.
Like, that was a whole thing.
Well, people love his mustache.
That's coming soon.
Those two have, like, very high approval ratings.
Like, does anyone not love those two?
No, they're very lovable.
Yeah, just good energy, good spirit, those two.
And, like, I believed, like, when they were like,
go for a jog.
I was like, I should.
You dropped your shit.
Great advice. The mustache is back over the last two weeks i think a couple of weeks ago i went to a blue jay
game because my daughter bought me a ticket for my birthday so thank you michelle happy birthday
yes thank you and that was two weeks ago my birthday i'm at a blue jay game and i bump into
like really early as we were entering i bump into a couple of guys who were at TMLX8 and they these two guys might be in the live chat right now Quebec Irish boy and double
D David Drolet I bump into them David Drolet who is also known as double D is wearing a Toronto
Mike shirt that works and we took a photo so it was nice to see Quebec Irish boy and double D oh
this is so nice this we are oh and I got so much I want to share with you.
Mike, how do you not have COVID, by the way?
Like, you've been at concerts.
Oh, I know.
You've been at movies.
Multiple Jewish games.
I've never felt better.
I got my fourth shot and everything.
I don't know what to tell you.
Joe Biden has COVID, though.
That plant-based one that we've all been hearing about?
No.
I wanted extra meat in my shot.
Give me the meat one.
Okay, there you go.
I also saw at the same Blue Jay game,
I bumped into Mike Gregotsky.
We took a picture together.
And here's a special shout out.
Special shout out to Slappy Shalom and Judy Cole.
Huge fans of Toronto Mic'd.
It was great.
I think Judy said that this was more exciting to meet me
than it was when she met Paul McCartney.
Oh, Mike.
I can't believe this uh to
the great listeners of the show i was with mike at that black crows concert where mike was smoking
all the weed totally and we were there at the show cam not once not twice not three times, but at least four times,
Mike was stopped for a photo or a hello or a handshake.
I swear to God.
Michelle's got a similar story.
This guy was getting recognized at the Black Crows concert like four times,
maybe a fit.
There was a lady that was looking but didn't come over,
but I'm going to count it.
There was five people that recognized him.
Did these photos surface?
Like, are they on Facebook?
The Blue Jays. Some guy brought his
friends over and was like, this is him!
And they were like, oh my god! It's the guy! Yes.
Toronto Mike is famous now.
I am getting recognized.
I don't want to pat myself on the back.
But these are your people.
This is your demo, I think.
I mentioned Slappy, Shalom, and I hope I'm saying that right,
and Judy Cole, who are going to come out to the next TMLX event,
who are big fans.
I took photos with them.
But there's a guy who's a big photo who saw I was at the game,
and his daughter was at the games.
I want to shout out because Dan Jeffrey said he listened to every Pandemic Friday
and every Toast episode with his daughter.
His daughter was at the game.
I told him where I was sitting.
His daughter, Dan Jeffries' daughter, found me.
We took a selfie, and she said that she listens every week
with her father to the Pandemic Friday Toast episodes.
Wow, family affair.
So thank you, Dan Jeffries and your daughter.
Shout out to them.
And I want to thank them because, you know,
their support that got Cam and I into the Hall of Fame
And when you introduce us
In future episodes
You need to say Hall of Famer
That's what Wise Blot wants
And he should
And by the way, Wise Blot
Now we're on the Mount Rushmore together
That's quite a Mount Rushmore
Ed Conroy
Mark Wise Blot You gotta get the four of us on a round table And Cam Gordon there you go that's quite a Mount Rushmore Ed Conroy oh my god
Mark Wise
we gotta get the
four of us on a
round table
we should do that
and Cam Gordon
I only have four
mics though
that's a set
we gotta do a
mega episode
with the Mount Rushmore
well there's that
photo of
oh no but Ed Conroy
never mind
I was gonna say
Hebsey was there
instead of Ed Conroy
I don't think I've met Ed
but I'm a huge fan
of Ed Conroy
Ed is
cause now he's
moved out of town
it's harder to get Ed kind of here in the flesh.
Summer road trip.
When is that happening?
I got to, we got to figure that out.
We'll talk offline.
But I want to thank Quebec Irish boy again, though,
because I think I mentioned on an episode that it was going to be Monica
and my anniversary and that we were going to go to the keg.
And guess what popped into my inbox?
You ready?
You guys ready for this?
A gift certificate for the keg. From Ann Romer. From Quebec Irish boy. Wow. Oh, my inbox. You guys ready for this? A gift certificate for the keg.
From Ann Romer.
From Quebec Irish boy.
Wow.
Oh my God.
What a mensch.
So I know.
I don't even know
what to say.
He's a mensch.
He's like,
you gave me so many
great hours of entertainment
and then I did the math
and said,
he owes me more gift cards.
This is true.
By the way.
You should fake retire
and you'll get more, Mike.
The audience of this show...
They've all logged off.
Listen, they're obviously great people.
They're sending you gift cards
for your anniversary.
That should show you
that you are loved, Mike.
I feel loved.
I also had a rough go since we last saw you.
Cam, I don't know if this one...
I might have saw you at that.
Yeah.
But, you know, there was that whole Blundell
and Fearless Fred Bullard shitstorm.
So much has happened.
Oh, whatever happened with all that.
Yeah, so that'll happen.
But also, guess what dropped
since we all got together last?
A Drake video.
Right.
So, I mean, can you give us the story
about how you ended up in the Drake video?
Sure.
There's so much to talk about.
I can't...
Yeah. And we haven't even
got to the, and we're kicking out jams.
Yeah. And we're kicking out number jams.
So the title of the song is a number,
but just a number. I actually have a
small build on the Drake thing. Okay, go on to the
Drake thing. Yeah, I'll let Stu lead.
Well, my brother-in-law
and business partner at
5'7 Productions,
also known as 5'7 Films,
Adam Rodness,
produced a couple Drake videos now.
But he got the call to do this Drake video,
which was called Falling Back.
And it was a video where Drake is going to marry 23 women
at the Royal York Hotel.
And they're going to have the Dan Band be the wedding band.
And the Dan Band is from Wedding Crashers
and a bunch of movies that Cam doesn't watch.
That is true.
And he's a really funny guy.
So Adam was suggested to direct.
I don't know.
I think Director X said to Adam,
if Stu doesn't come here, then tell him, like, x said to adam if stew doesn't come here then tell him my
like i hate his guts if he doesn't come i think it was one of those like he better come and do this
wow and it was like yeah of course i'm gonna come and do this and so me and rodness are in this
drake video as the dan band we're like in the band and uh we spent the afternoon there with
with dan and drake and rab Rabbi Sitkin and the whole gang.
And this about the Royal Yard.
And you can tell because we heard this on the last Mark Weisblot episode of Toronto Mike.
But he reached out to that rabbi.
Yeah, the rabbi got famous.
And talked to him for the Canadian Jewish News.
Sure.
Yeah, the rabbi became a thing for 15 minutes.
Maybe he'll be in the whole thing.
And you should get Sitkin on the show here.
But, yeah, the Drake video, it's called Falling Back.
It's really fun.
It's like a movie.
And Drake is number one right now, man.
Who's bigger than Drake?
Are you going to Drake at the Molson Amphitheater?
I don't know if Ken and Kev gets tics.
I mean, we'll see.
You don't have a hookup on that one?
I probably do, but I wouldn't use it on that.
Your brother-in-law can help you.
You know, I'm going to try to use my
hookup. I'm saving it for
one show.
And it's going to be, can you guess?
Chicago. No. It's a show
that's actually coming here. Toto. A show that's
actually coming here. I don't know.
It's going to be Wu-Tang and Nas. Right.
I got to go to that.
If I'm going to pull a favor, that's the one that I have to be, ITang and Nas. Right. I got to go to that. I got to call, you know, if I'm going to pull a favor,
that's the one that I have to be, I got to get into.
Cam, you were going to tag on to that.
Well, I was going to say, I mean, just a small build here,
but our mutual acquaintance, Mike, Rosie Gray Tio,
actually updated the Falling Back.
That's the name of the song, right?
Yep. Falling Back. That's the name of the song, right? Yep.
Falling Back to mention that Stu Stone,
who's on Wikipedia, was in the band.
And they actually took out the edit
because they said YouTube is not a credible source.
Wow.
Yeah, which I was a little surprised to see that.
Because there's so many eyeballs on that page, though.
Like, you can't hide.
No, it was gone the next day,
which is disappointing.
I mean, it was properly cited and whatnot.
But anyway, YouTube,
apparently not a reliable source in 2022.
Well, I'm hoping, you know,
the Drake wedding was a lot of fun,
but I'm looking forward to having fun
at a few other weddings,
so we'll see.
Well, yeah.
If you do go to another wedding,
that on-bend knee jam I was playing from
Boyz II Men is a good jam.
I could probably get me and Rodness to be in the band for that wedding if that person
wants it.
I would live.
I don't know.
I don't have a clue what wedding you're talking about, but I would live stream it.
Can I come too?
You'll be there.
You'll be there.
You're going to be on the cake.
Oh, you'll be there.
You'll be there, big guy.
Okay.
So, Black Crowes was great.
The Faking a Murderer premiere, we never did talk about it on this program.
It was really amazing.
It really was.
And for the FOTMs that showed up, I loved that.
Ian was there?
Yeah.
He came all the way from Guelph.
Yeah, it was really awesome.
Mark Carey was there.
It was a really fun night, and everybody loved it.
And, you know, I was nervous, but I really shouldn't have been.
Oh, Al Grego and his wife, but I really shouldn't have been.
Oh, Al Grego and his wife were there?
Yeah.
Yeah, he sure was.
And he was.
I know.
And everybody was laughing, and all the jokes hit,
and it was really, really great.
Unfortunately, you know, a few days later,
the great Phil Jarrett, who plays Detective Richard Lynn in the film,
suddenly passed away.
A true highlight in that movie, too.
I mean, we had so many plans for this guy.
Yeah, because he's great. Because we're about to shoot more stuff,
and I got more stuff to tell you guys about.
The selfish prick.
Up and down on you like that.
He's not with us anymore,
and it actually makes me sad thinking about it
because this is a guy that was so talented
that was just waiting for some shine,
and he was so good
in faking a murder. Steals the movie
in a lot of ways. Honestly, I think nothing's
funny and I thought he was hilarious.
He was absolutely funny.
If Cam says he's funny,
that's next level.
That guy was so good. That's like Carlin
level funny. I mean, he was really
funny and he was
a serious actor so for him to come and do
that with us like he had to be convinced to come and do that with us you know what i mean because
he didn't he didn't know me so he had to trust the fuck out of me to like not make him look like a
schmuck you know it's like it wasn't like i could explain what we were doing because we had to keep
it a secret so he only knew what he shot with us.
He didn't know that we went
and did this, that, or the other thing.
So it was just a really interesting process
making that film.
And we're going to do more.
And unfortunately,
Philip will only be there with us in spirit.
But God bless you, Philip.
And shout out,
pour some out for Phil Jarrett.
Yeah, RIP, Philip.
And hopefully wherever he is, he is
taking good care of his white car.
TTFN, my friend.
Do you guys know this jam?
I do.
Is this Grace Slick?
Pointer Sisters, of course.
The one before this was Grace Slick.
That's a big piece of trauma folklore.
We've never done this before.
We've never did number jams before?
No, we've never done this before.
So the topic is to pick a song you dig
where the title of the topic is to pick a song you dig where the title
of the song is a number.
Hold on, I don't want to waste my...
Shit is so dope.
Yes.
All greetings, it is I, the Count.
And it's time to answer
that fascinating question. What is the, the Count. Yes, Count, of course. And it's time to answer that fascinating question.
What is the Sesame Street number of the day?
Ah, ah.
Let's count the bats and find out.
Ah, that's one.
All right.
So I was like, I wanted to pull some, like, Sesame Street number stuff.
But here's the real jam that will introduce the topic.
This is the story of men who are victims of war.
They fought the longest war
in American history.
They all saw heavy combat in Vietnam.
Although they were all
decorated for heroism,
none of them received a hero's welcome.
Can you guys name the artist?
I used to be able to.
I think it's Paul Hardcastle.
Yeah, it is.
Okay, so this song is called 19.
So the title of this song is 19.
There are no other words in the title.
Yeah, this is cool.
No other words in this title.
This song is just called 19.
This would be a very appropriate jam to kick out tonight
because the name of this song is 19.
This is kind of a hard topic.
Let this ride.
I want to hear the part that goes like Vietnam,
then the 19.
The average age of the Vietnam soldier was 25.
He was 19.
19.
19.
That sounds like New Order.
Like this part.
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and
19
Wow.
I haven't heard this song in...
I remember watching it on...
Like...
What would it have been?
Like Toronto Rocks
or like video hits
do you think this was
this was probably on CFNY
yes actually we had this chat in the
the secret FOTM
DM group and
Mark thinks it was on
1050 Chum
he thinks it was on CFTR it was on 1050 Chum He thinks it was on CFTR
It was
And he thinks it was on
CFNY
Yeah
So
Okay so
Do you want to get right to it
Any
Maybe I'll
Hear you
It's a cool fucking jam
Okay
Paul Hardcastle 19 Would have been a great jam to kick out today.
Sounds like Cam's voice from The Last Toast.
Oh, yeah.
So what was the process there?
You realized you're failing, you can't even speak on a Zoom,
but you wanted your fun facts because I was going to kick out your jams anyway.
And you just had some text to speech.
I literally copy and pasted to some like sketchy voice to audio,
or sorry, text to audio website.
And I had to write out some of the words phonetically.
So that was kind of fun, even in my weakened states,
because I'm such a nerd.
But you did it, and we played it, and I caught most of it.
And Stu, I think, was better than I was at deciphering what you were trying to say.
I think what I should have done is just talk way more slowly because you can actually
say how many
syllables per second.
Good learning for next time I get COVID
which probably won't be long.
A couple of quick shout outs before we kick out your
first jam, Cam Gordon. So I want to shout
out Dewar Pants, the most comfortable
pants and shorts. Is COVID worse the
second time or the first time?
For me, it was definitely worse the
second time. Why? Because you like
knew what it was?
No, because of his symptoms.
Right? Yeah. Well, I had just
gotten the booster the first time I had it, like
two weeks prior, so maybe that helped.
But, I mean, who the fuck knows at this point?
Are you worried about long COVID? Is this the fear
that you'll...
Honestly, I'm just worried about shit getting canceled, honestly.
Because that was over Father's Day.
I was going to take my dad to the Jays game.
We had tickets.
DOA, as I mentioned, you and Brother Bill got canceled.
Well, that's why we did the toast on the Tuesday instead of the Thursday.
I know.
I fucked it all up.
I'm so sorry.
It's not your fault.
Did MF end up getting COVID?
No, she didn't get it.
My daughter didn't get it.
MF is a superhero.
I think MF and I are immune to COVID.
I think you are. It's our Irish roots.
Anybody who hasn't had it now,
it's surprising. To my knowledge,
I've not had it. Is MF from
Ireland? Her ancestors.
The F is very Irish, if you
know what the F stands for. I don't. I only know
her as MF. Well, he doesn't know we're moving.
Not a CBC listener. Are you moving to Ireland?
No, we're moving the next
post-episode. Or two.
Two. We're moving September, I'll tell you later.
Because we're going to Ireland. Are you really?
MF is going back to the motherland.
For good? No.
For like ten days. I got worried. I'll be going
with her. Okay, good. Make sure she comes
back. But you are moving to Little Ireland,
right? The Little Ireland district of Toronto.
That's false.
It's a falsehood.
So thank you, Dewar.
I think I was in mid-sentence.
Dewar.ca.
D-U-E-R.ca.
Go to the new retail store.
It's on Queen Street.
Where? Queen and what?
Cam, you saw it the other day.
It's like Queen and Portland.
Do you own a pair of Dewars?
I do not.
You should.
Come on, guys.
15% off if you use the promo code.
Are you wearing the Toronto mic?
I know, because I just biked.
I just didn't throw them on today.
He wore them to the camp.
Okay.
I went to a client.
Shout out to Rush Trucking.
I went to the client wearing Dewar pants and shorts.
And honestly, I looked fucking amazing.
These things are comfy as hell.
You got laid.
I got laid by the ladies. You know I'm in charge. So shout are comfy as hell. You got laid. I got laid by the ladies and I'm
in charge. So shout out to Dewar and of course
StickerU. We referenced
them earlier but what a great partner
StickerU.com. If they don't make some
Hall of Fame stickers to stick on the wall
here, they're leaving money on
the table, Bubba.
Alright, Andrew. I'll talk to Andrew Witkin
and see if we can get that going here.
You told me before I pressed record,
I mentioned that Dana took the summer off,
Dana Levinson,
but she passed the baton to her good friend
from the CTV days, CFTO days, Naomi Parnas.
And I've been working closely with Naomi
for the last couple of months.
And you mentioned Naomi went to your high school?
I think she did.
Because I think she knows Andrew Witkin
from this same,
although Andrew's older than you guys.
I know you guys and Naomi are both like 42.
I might not be the same girl.
She's 42.
Well, that does check out.
Level 42.
Yeah, I think it's the same woman.
I'll tell her to ask her if she knows us.
I'll text her during one of the jams.
Yeah, do that.
I will do that.
So anyway, shout out to Naomi Parnas.
What's her home phone number?
It's 416.
Okay.
Okay, yeah. It says like, anyway, I don't want like a word like home phone number? It's 416. Okay. Okay.
Yeah.
It says like, anyway, I don't want like a word.
Can I see that?
Yeah.
Well, if she watches this, she can see it. Are you always like surprised at how private Cam is?
Like that first COVID fight never made the air because we were sworn a secrecy.
Now he's come out of the closet about it.
I don't even know what this website is.
But I had a jam loaded up for a moment that never happened.
And I now regret it all, but I'm surprised
that I misread the TV. Cam has always been
sort of a private individual. Is that a private thing?
I guess. Just stuff like
around family and whatnot.
For this, I never talk
about it. I never tweet that I have a daughter, for example.
Okay, but you do have a daughter, right?
His daughter is very heartbroken about that.
She's like, Daddy, why don't you tweet about that?
She has not consented. We're not going to do an episode about your daughter. We don't like, Daddy, why don't you cheat about that?
We're not going to do an episode about your daughter.
We don't know her name.
We don't know her age.
We don't know her school.
We don't care about any of that.
The fact that you have a daughter, to me,
is your right to share that fact that you have a daughter.
You have four of them.
I have two daughters.
Okay, so we're going to start with you, Cam.
And now I'm a little snipped up, as you know.
There you go.
Cut you in.
All right, Cam.
That's the second time we've been saying cut you in today.
Cam Gordon, any words before I kick out your first joke? Usually I would be the first person to see a scab and just pick at it.
But I know by the tone of Cam, knowing him as long as I do,
even I, the great Stu Stone Hall of Famer, I know when the tone of Cam knowing him as long as I do even I the great Stu Stone Hall of Famer
I know when to
back up
I was going to say when I got mad
at you for real
but it's a happy thing
that would make FLTMs happy to hear
it's not a bad thing
it's not like you got a DUI or something
just drop it Mike
are you going to have a party
a small party a small gathering You got a DUI or something. Just drop it, Mike. Yeah. Are you ready for your first party? Are you going to have a party?
A small party.
Small gathering.
No, like a B... Oh, no, no, no.
No.
With like Al Grego and the boys?
That'd be amazing.
I've already told loved ones it's not happening.
Fair.
What's the party for?
For me and Cam's Hall of Fame.
We're going to have a Hall of Fame banquet.
Totally.
We should have a Hall of Fame banquet.
Yeah, TMLXX.
You should be honoring all four of us at that event.
Alma Pasta is going to feed you at TMLXX.
We're going to get a trophy or something.
Everybody who comes, they're going to feed you.
Hall of Fame speeches.
Great Lakes is going to buy you a beer.
Blair Packham is going to play Last of the Red Hot Fools.
Cam and Stu photo ops.
Yeah, Tom Wilson's coming from Hamilton to do an acoustic jam.
I have Danny Graves from The Watchmen lined up to do an acoustic jam. I have Danny Graves from the Watchmen
lined up to do an acoustic.
It's going to be bigger than Edgefest.
Can I ask you a question?
Just a question.
We should get a standee.
You know those life-size standees?
Sure. Of the tree in Mike's
front yard. And then people can do
photo ops with the tree and make
money! Paywall, baby! Fuck the paywall. No, I'm kidding about the paywall. But they can do photo ops with the tree and make money. Paywall baby.
Fuck the paywall. No I'm kidding about the paywall.
But they can also take pics with me and Cam.
That's actually a really good idea.
I'm a marketing genius.
I'm actually blown away. That's the first time
Stu brought an idea to the table that
my first thought was good idea not what a
bad idea. That's not bad.
It's a great idea. We'll talk more about that.
Ian's service is now speculating.
So let's get into the jams.
Let's move on before MF starts speculating.
Okay.
What do you want to say before?
She's here.
But she must be happy with this news.
Whatever this news is.
We love her.
Yeah, I think so.
I'm excited.
If she's not happy, it shouldn't happen.
She's great.
That's all I'm going to say.
She's the best.
So I'll say more to come.
She is the best.
Cam does not have a daughter.
And I actually once commented on,
I did an Instagram photo of my bike
and I did the hashtag bikeTO
and it was my bike.
And she said she loved seeing these photos
and it made me think.
Mike's blushing just saying her name.
She made me think MF
and it made me think I should do it every day.
And now like every day I get off my bike,
I stop my writing,
I take a picture of something.
There you go.
I put it on Instagram
and I think MF will like that.
Don't let him make a speech.
Well, remember very early
in the pandemic, like we hung out
in, what, Maryland
Bell Park and we had our bikes.
He hasn't washed his hands since.
There you go.
Any words before your first
jam? And remember, the name of the
song is a number. That's the rule. Just a number.
Just a number. Just a number. And have I been clear?
I think so.
Well, to be clear, like
99 Nuff Balloon. Yeah, illegal
jam. I don't want to hear that. If I hear that shit,
you're out of the Hall of Fame. 99 Problems
by Jay-Z. If I hear that,
you're out of the Hall of Fame.
I can hold this over your head now.
Three pistols. I brought you into this
world. Is it like an OJ thing where we can get taken out of the Hall of Fame?
Yeah.
I own this Hall of Fame.
I am the sole decision maker when it comes to the Hall of Fame.
Sole decision.
They're going to be playing at the party.
Yeah.
They're playing one acoustic jam.
They'll be at TMLXX.
There you go.
I have so many artists who want to play it.
He's got such a big head.
Ever since you got on the
toronto star right he gets in the trial he didn't make the cut can i make a final he took like 10
selfies at the black crows concert he's got a huge head now stew will appreciate this and for
the wrestling fans remember owen hart won the slammy yes and he carried around yes that was
like his gimmick yes 12 that was like trying to mic with it. I'm just fucking with him.
He's just like whipping out this.
No, no.
And look what happened to Owen Hart.
There you go.
I didn't.
I'm just in.
Oh my God.
Be careful, man.
That's inappropriate.
Can we start the jams, please?
Yes.
Cam, any words before we kick out your first jam?
It's a number.
Did not hit the post.
I love this song, Cam Cam it's a good jam
I think this is the first song I thought of I got a camel just on my phone. What you're moving in elliptical I think it's not what you say
What you say is way too complicated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out
It's for the sake I'm still the last call
Go ahead
I lie now you know it's easy I lie playing it all the time Is that a number song?
Yeah.
How low can you go? How low can you go?
How low can you go?
Oh, yeah, that's Girl Talk.
There you go.
I can't hear it anymore without hearing Girl Talk.
We were going to get to that, but we'll circle back to that.
So this is 1901 by the band Phoenix.
Oh, yeah, they had a couple songs.
Yeah, so they had this song and they had Listomania.
Was that the other song?
No, didn't they have a song?
That's not them.
Never mind.
No, I think that was somebody else.
French band from Versailles.
So very classy and obviously a lot of history in Versailles.
And that's where the treaty happened.
That's right, for the Treaty of Versailles after World War I.
Shout out to Franz Ferdinand at the Ridley Funeral.
Right.
Not the band, obviously.
Well done.
Also the Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolution.
So a lot of history in Versailles.
And 150 years later, this band Phoenix came roaring out of the gate.
What do we know about this band?
No, I know nothing.
Next to nothing about this band.
But you know what?
I can't even name a second Phoenix song.
You'll know the song Listomania.
That was a pretty big hit.
It's about the mouthwash.
Something like that.
Listomania.
But this song, 9201,
this song I think got famous
because this was just one of those songs
that was in every movie trailer,
in every video game.
It was also,
I know CFNY played it quite a bit.
Totally.
They played it hourly in 2008.
Yeah.
So this song was featured in, amongst other things, Gossip Girl, the Melrose Place reboot,
Vampire Diaries Hellcats.
I don't know what that is.
TV advertisements for Cadillac, for PlayStation.
It was in NHL 2K10 for you Sega fans.
And yeah, I was going to mention it was in Girl Talk.
The name of the song is triple double mashed up with Ludacris.
How low?
Yes.
Okay.
So this happens and I almost, every time it happens, I think,
oh, we should do an episode about this or whatever.
What's happened to me now is it smells like teen spirit is in the wild.
Okay.
I'm in the wild. is it smells like teen spirit is in the wild okay i'm in the wild i hear smells like teen spirit it combines in my head now with push it by salt and
pepper oh no maybe it's lithium yeah lithium yes okay but bottom line is there are so many songs
now that i cannot separate from the girl talk which is not not a good thing it's not a bad
thing either like it's just it's just changed it's completely rewired my brain to a song
that i was all
over well before I ever heard Girl Talk.
But that one, that 1901
is a great example of a song.
I can't hear it alone without Ludacris
on it. I'm going to make a final comment
about the band Phoenix. I would say
they are probably the weakest ever
daily headliner at the
Coachella Festival. I sort of forgot
that they were a headliner. They headlined Festival. I sort of forgot that they headlined in 2013
one of the days.
Three day festival.
Another day was to write out Chili Peppers.
That makes sense. The other day was, I sort of remember
the Stone Roses and Blur headlined.
Breaking news. Ian Service
says that that Liz Tomania that you referenced,
that was the hurdle
this week. You know hurdle, which is like
the word
except for music.
So basically a lot of
people rediscovered that song.
Listermania.
I don't know it.
Anyway, here are four bands that
Phoenix headlined over.
Also played that same day. Did they ever play at the Phoenix?
They probably did.
So you had New Order, you had Sigur RΓ³s.
Oh, they're good.
The Postal Service.
Sigur RΓ³s is huge.
I feel like all those bands are probably bigger
in terms of history than Phoenix.
Am I wrong?
Yes, you're correct.
This was a big hit too.
I don't know this song.
Give me a minute.
I don't know this song.
This is a big hit, too.
I don't know this song.
Give me a minute.
I don't know it yet.
I don't know this song.
I'd like to have another song, and this ain't it.
So, I'm not sure I know this song, to be quite honest. What's the name of this group?
Phoenix.
This sounds almost like Canadian indie somehow.
Like Wolf Parade.
Yeah, totally.
I'll believe in anything.
Like a more poppy Wolf Parade.
Yeah, yeah, I hear that too. I don a more poppy wolf parade. Yeah, yeah.
I hear that too.
That's a scene, right?
That 08, 09 sound.
I don't know it, but I like it.
There we go.
1901.
A song that's a number.
In a great year.
Yeah.
I remember it well.
How is Ann Sandy doing?
Is she doing all right?
Is that what you thought of when you thought of 1901?
By the next time you see me,
she will have celebrated her 96th birthday.
Holy shit.
And she's had COVID one more time than Cam has.
Really?
Three times?
I remember this.
She's amazing.
She's amazing.
But I'm planning on doing something great.
I'm planning on renting a stretch limousine.
Whoa.
Picking her up
and taking her to the beautiful city of Pickering
to the brand new casino that they have there.
She'll be happy.
And I'll just let her go run around
on her walker
and fuck shit up at the slots
a couple hours, then limo her back home
and maybe on the way home
we stop and get some
McDonald's french fries.
Let's just say Center Street Deli.
And she'll have a great birthday.
So what I noticed this, when I went to the Faking a Murderer premiere.
Stay tuned to my Instagram for footage of this limousine.
When I saw the Faking a Murderer for the second time,
because I saw it on, what's the service I saw it on?
Hollywood Suite.
Hollywood Suite.
Great Hollywood Suite.
Right away, like when I learned it was out.
Shout out to David.
Day one, I got it.
David Kines.
David Kines. F-O-T-I-V-E, David Kines. F out to David. Day one, I got it. David Kynes. David Kynes.
F-O-T-O, David Kynes.
F-O-S-S, David Kynes.
Just a friend of many.
I saw it again with you, of course, at your premiere.
And this time, I noticed Aunt Sandy when the family was learning about the project.
She used to say more in the old cut, but the grumpy people made us...
How come you don't have final cut?
I'm almost there.
Almost there, okay.
Are you ready for my first number jam?
Speaking of Final Cut,
I'll have the Final Cut of Vantage by next time I see you.
Whoa.
Yeah, that's big.
Sounds like 19, but it's not.
So hang in there.
Oh, I know what this is.
It's a long song.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I got lots of facts about it. I know someone that wanted this song. This is a long song. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I know someone that wanted this song.
But I got it first.
This one goes out to all the rockers out there.
Jeff Woods.
Lonnie Schwartz.
There was a time when a younger Cam and Stu would have been afraid of this song in this music video.
Spooky.
What is war?
Is that this video?
It was quite the video.
We'll talk about it.
We'll give it a moment to brew.
This is one hell of a jam.
First song by Metallica I ever heard is this one.
We are rocking in the morning.
Here in Kingston. Little Metallica I ever heard is this one. We are rocking in the morning here in Kingston.
Little Metallica for the morning.
Metallica mornings.
Every Monday morning, Metallica mornings.
It's your star, Cam Gordon, in the morning.
Isn't Metallica's most depressing song?
I'd say, like, Sane Anger was pretty depressing.
It's no hero of the day.
So bad.
Yeah, oh, my God.
That's the most depressing pick.
This is like their most progressive rock song
with these patterns and drums.
It's a great fucking song.
Might be my favorite Metallica song.
I think the next album,
the Black album,
had better production on it.
It's like a crisper sounding music.
But this is obviously great.
San Francisco rockers, right?
A lot of noodling.
Takes a while to get there, but here we go.
This sounds like a young band.
You know?
Metallica Mornings. Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, wake me
Wow, okay.
This song is called One.
Oh.
There you go.
Metallica's One is the third and final single from...
One, also the word to describe Stu Stone this week,
as in Stu One.
Released as this is the third and final single from the band's fourth studio album which of course is and justice
for all came out in 1988 also had a scary album cover like kind of blind justice but like a bunch
of like crosses at a cemetery yeah more is scary, guys. We can't
sugarcoat this. War is fucked, man.
But this song, it does portray a World War
I soldier
who is severely wounded. In 1901.
His arms, his legs,
and that's not World War I. That was the
Boer War that you're thinking of.
This South African Boer War. Arms,
legs, his jaw was blown off by
a landmine. He's blind.
He can't speak.
He can't move.
He's begging God
to take his life.
Sorry,
is this a real guy
or they made this up?
Made this up,
but it's,
there's like parts
of an old movie
that had a similar plot.
This is like a really,
like shows their musical chops.
Yeah,
it's fucking great.
This is in Thrash.
Like,
it's definitely not Thrash.
This was the first Metallica song that ever ranked uh in the billboard hot 100 it reached number 35 this song
this fucking song hit number 35 on the billboard hot 100 did cfny play this i don't think so no
chance they didn't touch q107 maybe q. Yeah, I think Q is on this.
For sure Q.
I mean, on my upcoming radio show in the future, I would play this.
Did you listen to the Q107 Mike Qmentary that PVP and I put together?
I tried not to because I was really upset about all of the beef that was going on as a result of Q107.
Oh, the Fearless Fred stuff?
Yeah.
We just hit the one-month anniversary of, I feel like.
Like, you tweeted about this, did you not?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I'm still waiting for the record.
Mike doesn't want to talk about it, okay?
I don't know.
He's private.
He's a private guy.
He doesn't want to talk about it.
Okay, okay, okay.
No, no.
Don't listen to Stu.
Mike doesn't want to talk about it. He doesn't like it. Let me start up on Ben. Oh, wait. Fuck. No, no. I'm pink too. Don't listen to Stu. Mike doesn't want to talk about it.
He doesn't like it.
Let me start up on baby.
Oh, wait.
Fuck.
Listen to this fucking part.
Hold on.
Okay.
You're fucking right.
I have to download this on my phone.
What is Johnny's Goddess Gun?
That's the movie. It's an epic song.
It's fucking epic.
It's epic.
There's a lot going on.
Freedom!
You know what?
I can fucking run
through a wall right now.
Like, this has got
right into my heart.
It's better than coffee.
Fucking amazing.
So, believe it or not,
and it's such a great video,
and that,
you referenced that movie,
Johnny what?
What's it called?
Oh, that's what the,
okay.
So they split the movies
in the video.
They go back anyway
because it's a similar
theme thing, right?
The guy's got like
his, he's all bandaged.
Yeah.
Sounds like Eddie Van Halen.
It's so good.
Okay, so.
Who's playing?
This was the first, the very, no, the very first Metallica song for which a music, isn't
this the Filipino guy?
Right, right, right, right.
The first music video in Metallica history.
I was going to say Danny Trio.
Who's the, who's the Filipino guy?
He was in Suicidal Tendencies.
I think this was before him.
Was it Jason
Newsted or who's that? Or is he in Soundgarden?
Robert
Trio.
Yeah. Kirk Hammett.
Kirk Hammett, right. And I only
know he's Filipino because I know everyone who's got Filipino
blood in them. There you go.
So, yeah, this is
their very first video. And it was a big... This video was aired quite a bit. So, yeah, this is their very first video.
And this video was aired quite a bit, like a reasonable amount.
I saw it all the time on MuchMusic.
They played this video.
People who wore jean jackets and lived near Aaron Kaufman.
Totally.
Listen to this. And the patches they would iron or sew on.
Like a pack of smokes in the back.
And they had lots of safety pins in their jackets.
And like a Triple H jacket.
Like a jean jacket with leather straps.
I was more of a poison man myself.
So this was a little heavy.
Like tassels?
Mike wore the makeup and everything.
Like Bobby doll.
Let this finish and we'll go into Stu's jam.
Do you have anything to say before your jam, or can I go right into it?
Well, I'm saying I'm feeling very festive through the Hall of Fame induction.
So I think we should, my jam, I think we should just party.
I think we should party and really celebrate with my song.
That's Cam from Last Toast. with my song. I only want you to have some fun.
That's Cam from Last Toast.
You should have done it that way.
Slow it down like that.
And I'm going to go check in on the live chat
and see if there's anything going on.
Oh! Signature sound
Like
You hear it
And you know exactly who it is
You know what I mean
There's a few bands like that
Where you can hear a chord and say okay that's a U2 song
I challenge
Anyone Mike
Anyone
To like an 80s
If there's a hit song from the 80s
I can recognize almost every song
In like a second. Is that because
of the synthesizer? No,
it's just from listening to music.
Who's the girl on this?
Sheena Easton? Is this Sheena E?
Sheena E? No.
Sheena Easton? Not Vanity?
No.
Alright, let's let Stu tell us
about the song. What's the song called, Stu?
The song is called 1999.
And that's a number.
Which is also the price of a pair of Dewar shorts.
If you happen to use promo code Toronto Mike.
15% off.
50% off.
Do it.
Let them know you care.
Let them know you listen.
Is that true?
Also the price.
No, the 15% is true.
What Stu is saying is he's on his own there.
1999 a gram over at Canicabana.
Using promo code.
They won't be undersold on cannabis or cannabis accessories.
$19.99 for a large meat lasagna.
Did I mention much love to Dan Jeffrey and his daughter who listened together.
That really warmed my gut.
My daughter was with me when that story was told and she had the warmth.
How old is the daughter?
Should we swear?
I'm serious.
I would say 20. Okay, so we swear? Like, I'm serious. Like, I would say
20? Okay, so she can handle it.
19? Yeah.
We get pretty edgy here. Jarvis
was on the live chat earlier. It's fine. Such a
cutie. Wiggly tooth. We're okay.
We can swear.
Yeah, it's nobody that you know
singing.
Just so you know, it's not like a famous person.
In fact, this song song you'd think this song
came out in 1999
no let's talk about it guys
the song is called
1999
and if my memory
serves me correctly
it's by a guy called Prince
the song actually
was the title track
of his album
that was called
1999 as well
ironically the price
may have been 1999
and this was in 1982.
Not to confuse people.
So earlier than you'd think, right?
But this is one of those Prince songs.
And Prince is, you know,
Prince is like Dean McDermott.
He makes the impossible possible.
Prince is the type of guy
that can re-chart with songs
or an old song that didn't work
another singer will sing it. He finds
a way to make shit work.
1999 came out at first and it
did pretty good. Peaked on the
chart at number
number
9. Number 1.
Number 44.
This is a smash hit at number
44. So the first time this single came out, it peaked at 44.
And it never went higher than that, even when it...
Well, I don't know, actually, because I've let Weisblot deal with that.
He's scared.
But I'll tell you what.
You're all in the Hall of Fame now.
You're equals.
It really blew up big in 1985 because it was a double A side for Little Red Corvette.
Prince did not give up on this song,
so he put it out again with Little Red Corvette,
and both songs blew up.
And now Rolling Stone ranks this on their list
of one of the greatest songs of all time.
It's a song that was definitely played, like,
mostly every celebration and function,
and maybe at a future wedding that we may or may not be attending,
depending on our behavior.
Whose wedding would that be?
I can't.
We'll see how this episode goes.
What are you talking about?
This is the type of song
that would play on New Year's Eve.
For sure, in 1998,
on December 31st, 1998,
I'm sure this played all over the world.
Here's some fun facts for you, though.
Sorry, 1236 is in the chat room
throwing some heat.
Oh, good.
What's he saying?
He's like a beanball.
He's going all Pascal.
This is the worst I've ever heard from Stu trying to describe the history of a song.
But you know what?
I'm worried that this is going to get into Stu's head.
Mark is just jealous that he's got company.
Oh, well, Mark, listen.
Company in the Hall of Fame.
This is not...
I'll tell you what.
Let's be honest.
I actually didn't pick this song song and Mike threw me a curveball
and so I came and had to really force
1999 into my selections.
Did you pick the song or not?
I had to pick it.
There's a lot of other number jams.
This felt appropriate, but there is something fun fact about this.
It's a great fucking song.
Why is he trying to put this on me?
Because it's your fault.
I had a whole song and dance ready for Metallica 1.
I had something I did.
I know what you did.
Why do you wait so long to get your fucking jams in here?
Because I'm very busy.
I'm very busy.
Cam had his in weeks before.
I'm very busy, Mike.
I'll listen.
Phil Collins
admits that this is the song
that inspired Susu Studio.
Did you know that? I could see that.
It wouldn't surprise me at all, no.
Just say the word. Oh, you could probably sing it along.
Su Su Studio.
Yep.
Kind of the same song. Just say the word.
Oh.
I like it when I find out
when I find out
the Beach Boys, you find out when they wrote know okay when I find out oh the Beach Boys you find out
oh when they wrote this song
it was because
he was trying to emulate
like
the Ronettes
there you go
right
because there's
no one that you know
singing on this song
so it was Wendy
and Lisa
of course
everyone knows
Wendy and Lisa
but I know that
Mike and Cam don't
so I was right
when I said
no one that they would know Wendy Wendy yeah you don't I know that Mike and Cam don't, so I was right when I said no one that they would know.
Wendy?
Yeah, you don't know them.
And Lisa?
Yeah, you don't know them.
Lisa, Lisa and the Cult Chain?
No, you don't know them.
I'll say something about Prince real quick.
Okay.
That song that we just heard, 1999?
Not released in 1999.
Who played the drums on that song?
Oh.
Phil Collins. Prince. Who played guitar on that song? Oh. Phil Collins. Prince.
Who played guitar on that song?
Prince. Who played every fucking
instrument on the song? Prince.
He did it his way.
He did them all.
Who sang the triangle?
Not Prince, but no one you know.
Could have been Wendy and Lisa.
Prince is a musical genius and I'll tell you
what, I've seen a lot of bands live, including the Black Crows,
where Mike got stoned a couple weeks ago.
I've seen a lot of concerts in my life,
including future Klezmer concerts with my friend Mark.
Wise blot.
We're going to go together.
I'll tell you what.
Prince, I don't think there's someone better than I saw live than Prince.
This guy was a showman.
He plays the guitar.
He sings.
He dances.
It's nonstop.
There's no break.
He shreds.
It goes all the way through.
It's just a high-energy, nonstop, unbelievable Prince.
It's a shame that he's gone because he's a guy that I would have gone to see every year.
You know how Cher is still on her farewell tour type shit? I would have gone to see every year. You know how like Cher is still on her
farewell tour type shit?
I would have seen Prince
on 20 farewell tours.
Is his death still kind of
sketchy?
Vague what happened?
I know there was a lot of
pharmaceutical things.
Accidental overdose, right?
Yeah, he died in an elevator
or something.
Yeah.
Way too young.
Because you don't conflate it
with Michael Jackson
who was murdered by his doctor
very very very very sad
and I wasn't wrong about the chart I just double
checked it so Mark is wrong again
but on the Billboard Hot 100 the song peaked
at number 44 part of the deal of
the FOTM Hall of Fame is all members
must get along
with each other that's part of the deal
Mark is wrong about that one
sorry the line this is the worst I've ever heard Mark is wrong about that one. Sorry, the line, this is the worst I've ever heard.
Mark is wrong about that one.
That's a good line.
Yeah.
Mark is...
And I know that he came to the movie
and he left.
He says it was higher than 44.
It wasn't.
But that one needs
like the acting rabbi hookup.
He left faking a murder
and went for a walk
and then came back.
So the confusion comes
because you mentioned...
Yeah, I heard this.
I went for a walk. I mean, what a guy. Yeah, you know that? Yeah, I heard this. He went for a walk.
I mean, what a guy.
Yeah, but you got to know yourself.
Like, if you can't sit through a 90-minute movie, you got to know yourself.
I guess, I mean, someone's got to know.
My brother's a bit like that.
He couldn't even finish the 18-inning Blue Jay game that we all went to.
Do you think when I listen to his five-hour podcast, I take a walk in the middle and take a break?
No, I listen.
I stop, mark it three hours.
I listen.
I listen because I'm a fan of his.
So, I know the confusion's obvious to me,
but I think you were trying to explain this, Stu.
You were explaining that he released it once initially.
It went to 44 or whatever.
But what happened the second time he released it?
I don't have that information at the top of my fingers.
Okay, that's when I think it turned higher.
It may have, but I'm saying it certainly didn't
the first time around.
That's not on the wiki page.
And I can remember as a young man
who grew up with a satellite dish television
that I watched MTV
all day long.
Yeah, you did.
And Prince was
an MTV superstar.
Really?
As big as Michael Jackson,
Duran Duran,
Madonna,
Prince is right there.
But don't we know this?
Maybe not.
Who doesn't know that?
Some of the new listeners.
Who's listening to Toast right now
who's going to find out
that Prince was a big fucking deal?
Jokeruru.
Did not know that we would recognize wendy
and lisa
what was this band like he had the protege
that was like a girl vanity the time
that's not no the time
was a banner i thought
apollonia
my purple stuff
okay little red i don't pretend to be an
expert here. Okay.
So, I loved it.
1999.
It's a great number jam.
And through one round.
Shout out to Cable Guy Jeff who writes in the chat, hashtag Stu is always right.
He knows.
Also a friend of Stu.
But he knows.
Biased.
But that's okay. And Cable Guy Jeff has a new Stookumentary coming out.
Yeah.
Can I just give him a plug real quick?
Of course.
Is this a work or a shoot?
This is a shoot.
Which one's which again?
Shoot is real.
Shoot fight.
Shoot is real.
Shoot is real.
Work.
Shoot is real.
Work is not real.
A work shoot is something that is like a mishmash.
You can work yourself into a shoot if you're not careful.
Like taking a murder was a work.
If you put a matzo ball and a kreplach in the soup,
it's called a mishmash.
Do you understand
what I'm saying here, Mike?
It's like girl talk.
So,
the Stone Movement documentary
that he put out
on social media last year,
some of you watched it.
Cam Brio just recently
tweeted about it.
I watched it.
But,
so,
there's the chapter two
coming out in a few weeks
or sometime this summer
that I did an interview
for Jeff for
that covers the whole
Jamie Kennedy experience
with rare footage.
Wait, this is the
Widener thing?
No, no.
Wait, why do I not know
about this?
You should know about it.
Can you remind me,
who's Cable Guy Jeff?
Cable Guy Jeff is
one of my oldest friends,
one of the pioneers
of podcasting
and he's been documenting
all, he's been basically
documenting all my shit
for a hundred years.
Is he in those shorts
when you got interviewed
about the finances?
Is that him?
No, he's not in Faking Murder.
No, I'm not Faking Murder,
but the shorts.
Like, there was a series...
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
The doer shorts.
He's not in those doer shorts.
But I could get Cable Guy Jeff
a pair of doer pants.
He would like those.
You could ride him
from the bike lane
to the boardroom.
Do you know who got Cable Guy Jeff
speaking of which
his set
so the Jamie Kenny
Stewstone era
is what it's covered.
There was rare footage
stuff no one's ever seen before
stuff that people
probably don't even want to see
but they're going to see it anyway.
But Jeff got me
a Funko today
a Funko Pop
of the Little Green Sprout.
Oh I saw this.
Isn't that so cool?
That was Jeff that found that
and got that.
And you were the voice
of the Little Green Sprout.
I was the voice
of the Little Green Sprout.
And this is the Jolly Green Giant's nephew or something. Maybe his grandson. I saw this. Isn't that so cool? That was Jeff that found that and got that. And you were the voice of the little green sprout. I was the voice of the little green sprout. And this is the Jolly Green Giant's nephew or something.
Maybe his grandson.
Iconic.
Maybe the son that he doesn't tweet about.
But I'll tell you what.
He had to tweet about your son's sprout.
I'm a professional.
It's a personal decision.
You don't have to tweet about your daughter.
I'm surprised that this particular news isn't something you'd want to scream from the rafters.
What news?
No news like Gary Gnews.
Am I right?
It's such happy news.
I love you, Jeff.
It's my news.
Do you need permission from someone else?
No.
Jeff invented the podcast.
Was he podcasting before 2006?
Yes.
Okay, because I was podcasting for Humble Friday 2006.
Well, the two of you should talk.
I bet you the two of you would be good friends.
Sorry, who was?
Jeff started podcasting.
Oh, Cable Guy Jeff.
Cable Guy Jeff before me.
Do you do stuff with Tom Green?
Possibly.
Okay.
I almost got him on Toronto Mike, but he seemed to flake out a little bit.
Okay.
So, I tried though.
I'm excited to shit all over Cam Gordon because I think this might be
a controversial jam.
Okay. Well, I will say even if this
gets disqualified, it's a good opportunity to
talk about Martin Streak because I think of
Martin Streak when I hear this. Okay.
Well, let's get to it. Here's Cam Gordon's
second number jam. this is the worst i've ever heard from stew trying to describe the history of the song he's not wrong
he's not wrong I was kind of mailing
that one in, but I still won.
You didn't do your homework.
Well, the song was thrown
at me like this morning. Mike, do you
like this song? Regardless if you think it's
a good pick. I'm not
sure it's a good song. I mean, it depends.
Am I at a club at
like one in the morning? Yeah. Drinking a
beer? Yes, I like that.
Yeah?
Okay.
But if I'm like chilling out on a Saturday afternoon or whatever,
it's not what I'd put on.
But Tobias Vaughn loves it.
He says...
Great tune.
Okay.
Great tune, yeah.
I saw him at the Mogwai concert.
I can definitely see a bit of Mogwai in this song.
It's obviously a bit more heavy and a bit more metal
bass but there you go there's sprout
looks like stew yeah he does who is it sprout is in the live chat oh there's the sprout i don't i
don't have it anymore my my feed died ever since... Ever since I became the champ.
Oh, there he is.
Yeah.
Sprout.
You know the band Prefab Sprout?
Yeah.
Patty Macklin.
Anyway, that's it.
That's all I got.
Okay.
By the way, I'm just looking at the chat.
And yeah, I acknowledge the second one, but he's wrong.
He said 1983, number 12.
No, that's a chum chart.
That's a chum chart.
But it was 1985 that that double single came out, according to what I saw.
It's a great fucking jam.
No one tunes in to toast for the facts.
They come for the flavor.
The banter.
Right.
Tool.
46 and 2.
What's your beef?
Stop the music.
What the fuck's your beef?
Think about...
Say the title again.
Just say it slowly.
46.
2.
Do the proper title slowly.
46.
2.
There's an ampersand in there,
which is also known as the word end.
This song is called 46 and 2
Both numbers
That's more than a fucking number, Cam
That's twice as good
Come on, Stu, don't be
46
What say you?
You have to be on the side of justice
It's tough
You can see what I'm getting at
Two numbers
I think that if I was to say that this is okay,
then Cam's going to owe me one.
But it's not okay.
The rules were so clear.
A little quid pro quo between Hall of Famers.
We'll see.
Bullshit.
That's why you're not judges.
Let me down.
You know what?
I'm the dictator here.
What am I even asking your opinion for this?
What is it?
The title has to be a number and only a number.
You can call it an ampersand.
You can call it the word end. Bottom line is there's more than a number in the a number, you can call it an ampersand, you can call it the word end.
Bottom line is,
there's more than a number
in the title of this song.
What is 46?
46 is a number.
What is 2?
2 is a number.
If this song was called 46-2,
I'd allow it.
This song is called 46-2.
It's a pick so nice,
there's a number twice. What's the problem? I'm surprised by you, Cam. This is a called 46 and 2. It's a pick so nice there's numbered twice. What's the
problem? I'm surprised by you, Cam. This is a
Martin Street favorite. Do you realize this?
After what you did.
Camacabana.
Just kidding. He's saying
because I can't. Sorry. I take it back.
Strike that. What I did was
You did. Well, you did nothing.
I can't believe you did that.
You guys like Tool. Okay, fine. I'm disqualified you did that. You're fearless.
I'm disqualified.
Do you guys like Tool?
I've never really fully got this band.
Why they got this so popular.
Should I go first?
Sober.
No, go ahead.
Tool is awesome.
The singer Maynard is one of the best vocalists.
The musicianship of these guys is on another level.
But live, he's not a good live guy because he's scared of the stage.
When I saw them live in Hamilton, he stood behind the drums and had his back to the audience the whole show.
It was disappointing.
Maynard did.
Yes.
Okay.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that they're a good band.
I mean, they're really, really good.
They are. What's your opinion, Mike? I fact that they're a good band. I mean, they're really, really good. They are.
What's your opinion, Mike?
I think they're a very good band.
I actually saw A Perfect Circle once.
Okay.
Is that like an Edge Fest?
Yeah, it was an Edge Fest.
And I want to apologize.
Did he hide that time, Maynard?
I don't remember him hiding.
By the way, I'm wearing a Martha and the Muffins t-shirt that was given to me by Martha.
You know where I saw Tool perform?
Canada's Wonderland.
That's pretty cool.
The final Lollapalooza touring.
He was dressed up
like Madonna
in Blonde Ambition
with like the cone.
Was Fraser Shad there?
I know there's
a lot of diehard
Tool fans right now.
Yeah.
You know,
they love it.
I will say,
I've actually never
purchased a Tool album
and I owned
Pre-MP3.
Perfect Circle,
did you like that?
I saw them at Edgefest.
That's also Maynard.
Where was he like five minutes ago?
I was paying attention to Wise Blood.
I was talking to Wise Blood.
I'm aware that's also Maynard.
Okay.
So I've never purchased a Tool CD.
Do you know Prince was popular in the 80s?
Did I mention that?
Big name.
Do you see that Wise Blood says I'm quitting the Hall of Fame over Stu bungling
that one? I didn't bungle it.
And then there were three.
If he was to look... You know what? I accept his resignation
because I don't want anyone to be in the Hall of Fame
who would quit over that.
But I know he's joking. Although Cyber Cafe
just LOL'd. You know what
I learned in the research for this?
I never knew this, that Maynard
also sang backup on The Three Little Pigs by Green Jelly.
Wow.
Do you remember?
Yeah, they had to change their name.
They were called Green Jello.
Yeah, exactly.
And then Jello didn't like that.
Big Big Hit, that was a number one.
That was a Big Much Music.
That was a number one hit in New Zealand, top five in Australia, Sweden.
Went to number 17 in the US.
Did it appear in a Beavis and Butthead episode?
I remember that.
It was Plasticine, I think. Plasticine video.
Right. Yeah.
That's what it was. Like the epitome of a novelty.
Yeah, Green Jelly. They played it
all the time on Much Music.
I remember well. Like almost as much as they played
Lawrence Gowan on CFNY. Almost.
Anyway, heavy rotation.
Can I say, whenever I'd go to like the phoenix or
something and then i'd you know you'd hear some tool in the mix at night my favorite was always
sober i like sober but that's always two fans i know which is ironic because there you go but uh
anyway i'm not a diehard tool guy but i respect that i think also in the uh the club nights it
would always be like the opening of the set
because they would have these like three-minute intros
and they could do all the shout-outs.
But you're right about Streak.
Streak, that's what caused him to switch.
Was it that band or Nine Inch Nails?
He was big on Nine Inch Nails.
I think it was Nine Inch Nails.
Okay, that caused him to drop the F-bomb.
Shout-out to Pete Fowler and brother Bill
who got that audio to me.
That's where Cam, that's where I've seen you also.
You were on a PPMM episode since.
How's that show doing?
Yeah.
Honestly, it's really starting to take off.
Off the charts.
So PPMM, as I like to describe it, is it we took stew.
Is it off the charts like Prince's song in 1985?
Because it got no radio play?
Progressive past of modern melodies.
Oh, I saw Alan Cross at the Roger Waters show.
Oh, he was there?
Oh, and that's right.
So I talked about becoming a pothead.
Moose Grumpy gave me some edibles to enjoy during Roger Waters.
So I bike, so I have my belt pack on and I have edibles.
And I didn't think, I just kind of zipped it into one of the things in my belt pack.
You were cycling material, like I've heard this.
Hold on.
Yeah, but you heard it on Wise Blood, I think.
No, Jeff Woods.
Jeff Woods.
But I'm telling it now here quickly,
which is that I'm going into the Scotiabank Arena
and the security person goes through
like every part of my fucking belt thing,
finds the edibles, calls her boss over,
and he tells me I'm not allowed.
They have to take that.
I can't bring my edibles into the concert.
So you ate it.
No, I didn't. What the hell? You just eat it right there. I can't bring my edibles into the concept. So you ate it? No, I didn't.
What the hell?
You just eat it right there.
I honestly don't know.
Can you bring food into the dome right now?
I don't know.
Mike would be the guy that's like,
but I said to the guy,
go 40,
whatever he is.
I said,
why are you taking that?
I said,
the muffins.
That's,
that's can of cabana product.
That's legal.
That was,
got the name drop in there.
He said it's like...
I would have just eaten them.
You know what he told me, the security guard?
And I don't even eat weed.
The Scotiabank security guard told me
it was like bringing in beer.
What say you?
You think he's got a point?
Well, he doesn't.
But they sell beer.
That's what I'm saying.
They don't.
When they start selling Canna Cabana at the Scotiabank,
then maybe he's got a point to make.
Okay, so maybe I should have wolfed them all down
and had the best fucking concert ever, but I didn't.
For Roger Waters?
You dropped the ball there, brother.
And then I found out the day after I saw Roger Waters
and loved the show, I found out he's anti-Semitic.
Yeah, well, don't tell that to Canada Kev.
You didn't know that?
No, I had no idea.
Canada Kev does not agree with that.
Well, I saw what I saw, which was his quotes,
and then I made my own personal decision based on what he was saying.
And I came to the conclusion that if you're able to somehow blame Israel
for the murder of George Floyd.
What?
Yeah.
So when I saw how he was able to make that stretch.
Wait, that was part of the concert?
Oh.
I was like, what, he stopped the concert?
I feel like your cousin,
DJ Farbsy,
talked about this at great lengths on Facebook.
The concert!
Other than one moment where it said
Palestinian lives matter, which
I don't personally consider to be anti-Semitic
to say that. Fair.
So that's my opinion. I'm only speaking for Mike here.
For everybody. Well, I'm speaking for myself. I'm only speaking for Mike here. For everybody. Right.
Well, I'm speaking for myself.
I can't speak for everyone.
Some people,
I know some people
because I had on a punker
named Art Bergman
who said a similar thing.
There you go.
And I got an email
from somebody
who's an FOTM
telling me that was
anti-Semitic.
Well, I mean, listen,
some people could consider that,
but I don't think
that you mean it that way.
So that,
in my opinion,
nothing in the concert
at all was anti-Semitic,
in my opinion.
I'm talking about quotes he made
in some interview before this concert
that I only read the day after the concert.
And I read everything he said
about Israel and apartheid,
and I read everything.
And I made a judgment that when I saw him
trying to say that Israel was somehow responsible
because they invented this technique
that the cops used to murder George Floyd.
They invented that technique.
Right.
So basically, the stretch he did to blame Israel
for the murder of George Floyd,
I left feeling like, it felt dirty to me.
Sorry, this is like between song banter?
No, this is not at the concert.
Everybody listen, before I play this next song,
I just want to tell you. The murder of George Floyd, the blood not at the concert. Everybody listen. Before I play this next song, I just want to tell you
the murder of George Floyd,
the blood is on the hands of Israel.
That's terrible. So he didn't say it in concert, to be clear.
He said it in another interview that
I read the day after the concert.
What does Weisblatt think about this? I don't know. I haven't asked Weisblatt.
I can guarantee what he thinks about it.
Me again. Proud atheist. Happy atheist.
I can't accept hate towards any
group. I don't like it. I don't accept hate towards any group. I don't like
it. I don't think anybody does like it.
Some people like it, right?
A white nationalist would like it.
Well, those people are not
FOTMs, are they?
They're not allowed in the Hall of Fame, that's for sure, Stu.
Like a less important question,
but also important
in its own right. Did he play, see Emily
play?
No.
Okay.
And I thought it was a big hit.
I was thinking of your reaction.
Yeah, that's like one of two times I lost that. He did talk about Sid.
Then there's words that go on a screen
all about Sid and stuff.
And then he played Wish You Were Here
and Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
And it was a lot of Sid love.
I didn't realize he's so old, like 78 years old.
Yeah.
Looks good, you know.
It was a great show.
He says he's more famous than The Weeknd.
Like he's still slinging shit around.
He did that afterwards here.
Okay, so back to the jam.
So I'm going to kick out another jam.
Is that okay with you?
So I disqualified Cam's jam because it has the word end in it.
And I think everybody would agree.
That's your right.
He violated the rules.
That's your right.
You saw where it's going, though.
I don't give a fuck where you're going. You're breaking
the rules over here.
But what's the point of rules, right? So
I'm going to kick out...
Shout out to David Alter.
See, if he had said this one, I'd be
okay with it. It's the discotheque that
lost me.
Whose favorite fucking song of all time is
discotheque? This is like one of those songs
that like when it starts playing,
and if I saw it live,
I'd probably think it was cool.
I've seen them live
and it was probably cool.
But now sometimes
I also like roll my eyes.
It's a little snoozy.
Is it a little pretentious?
I just like listen to it
and I'm just like...
A little pretentious.
But it's good, I guess.
Well, let's listen to a bit of it
and then I'll talk about it.
I mean...
It's tough.
Do you have a blanket?
I'm going to sleep on this song.
It's a little snoozy.
Tough room.
Tough room.
Tough room.
Shout out to David Halter.
I actually saw him the other day He came by Twitter Canada
Did he get verified?
He is verified
Stu's verified
You're not
You should apply
I'm not verified
I did apply
Did you?
What, recently?
Yeah
Because I thought that this might help
So
Oh, what?
Oh, that article
Can I see that? What is. Oh, what? Oh, that article.
What is that?
This is the day Mike's change.
That's the whole reason for his new swagger.
You know he's in the Toronto Stars? You should get him to sign that.
Although there's like a photo of me and my parents holding this up.
So who am I kidding?
I got denied.
And then I realized, I don't want to be verified anyways.
It's more punk.
Me neither.
So let's focus.
We have a job to do here.
So Mike is kicking out.
Toronto Mike.
I now speak of myself in the third person.
This song, much like my first jam by Metallica,
this song is also called One.
It is by an Irish band, because the Pogues are not an Irish band,
but this is, right?
Right?
Yeah, they're from Ireland
I know
Remember when Bono was the richest guy in the world at one point?
I mean, he probably still is
But there was a point when he was sort of the face of wealthy musicians
Like an opulence
Yeah, like he was the guy who was the oligarch of music
Do they know that it's Christmas?
What was his line again? Do they know it's Christmas? He invented the iPod or something the oligarch of music. Do they know that it's Christmas?
What was his line again?
Do they know it's Christmas? He invented the iPod or something.
It's like that type of shit.
He did get an album on the iPod.
Okay.
All right, on an iPhone.
So this is the third song from the 1991 Note That Year
because that was a great year for music.
Don't tell David Alter that.
No, they had
another album after that the mysterious ways when that had some stuff no this is that album yeah
okay so this is octung baby 1991 release yeah that's all downhill from here what's the one
where you're stuck at a moment and that had a few big hits that's later on yes later but okay
beautiful day is a shitty song i'm sorry i I agree. So Octung Baby, that's right.
That's right. But Octung Baby is 1991.
This single,
this single is their third single. So it comes
out in February 1992.
This was a big deal.
It was a big deal for AIDS or something.
Yeah, I'm going to get to that.
It was released as a benefit single
and the proceeds went to AIDS research.
And Mary J. Blige had some sort of version of it.
She covered it.
Yes, she did.
You're right.
Okay, so that's good.
So there's some good things came out of this song.
Okay.
Bono, he's a bit of a pretentious dink, but he's totally done good for the world.
Philanthropic.
Yeah.
Right.
Well, Michael Jackson was philanthropic.
He was filling something.
Hey-o.
Careful now.
Save that for the Blue Hotel.
So there's a story.
There's a story.
Of a man named Brady.
Yeah, MF's still here.
Of strife in the U2 studio when they're recording.
MF said thanks for playing this, Mike.
She likes it.
Did she say that?
Yeah.
Oh, because she's Irish.
Drop everything, yeah.
Well, she loves U2.
She's shouting out the homeboys.
I like U2.
I want to be honest. I like U2 as well.boys. I like U2. I want to be honest.
I like U2 as well.
And when I say U2, I mean Mike and Kim.
Now, I've seen U2 live.
They're very good live also.
So if you haven't seen them, they deliver.
It's a pretty cool experience.
Okay, but they were like on the verge of breaking up.
Like they were having like a crisis in terms of creative direction in the recording studio.
This is in Berlin, by the way.
As a result of Disco Tech?
Yeah, like the sound of U2.
Like what the quality of the stuff they were producing.
The tensions were so high.
It almost broke up the fucking band.
Higher than Mike at a Black Crowes concert.
Lemon Latch of Cannacons.
Okay, anyway, The Edge and Bono,
and then this song started coming to be,
and they worked on it,
and this song saved the fucking band, and the rest is history. They're still together today. They actually made three different videos then this song started coming to be and they worked on it and this song saved the fucking band and the rest is history.
They're still together today. They actually made
three different videos for this song.
This is kind of interesting because I remember two
but here's the three. There's the one with the buffalo.
Do you remember the buffalo video from one?
It's just like file footage of buffaloes.
Fucking buffalo. Oh sorry, bison.
Okay, well I'm going to call it a buffalo.
I remember buffalo. Buffalo was very popular
during that time. The Bills were like Super Bowl
four years in a row Tatanka
he's right Norwood
was wide right okay there was a
cross Bono cross dressing
that was one and there was another one where Bono's just kind of like
smoking like I remember him
in a bar yeah smoking a cigarette
sorry to him cross dressing yeah that's
the one I don't remember but there were three different videos
for one okay here you know you think, that's the one I don't remember, but there were three different videos for one.
Here, you think, oh, that's kind of a boring song.
You guys wanted to take a nap.
MF and I dug it.
But in 2004, Rolling Stones had this as the 36th greatest song of all fucking time.
Of all the songs ever.
Of all the songs ever.
They did a list of 500.
One by U2.
I wonder if they kept
36.
Where it's sitting now.
Now they've tried
to diversify it.
So they went and said
too many white guys.
I don't know
if that's the reasoning.
Maybe the song just sucks.
I compare these things.
No.
Okay.
The song
doesn't suck.
It doesn't suck.
It doesn't suck.
It's okay.
And it did some good
for the world.
No, it's a good song.
I'd probably slow dance to it.
It was the highest ranking U2 song on. It's okay. And it did some good for the world. No, it's a good song. I'd probably slow dance to it.
And it was the highest ranking U2 song on that Rolling Stones list. If it was playing at a wedding and I had a date at that wedding,
I may dance to this song if I'm invited to it.
When that song first came out in February 1992,
I'm going to guess that you guys both liked it.
Yeah, sure.
So maybe it just was overexposed.
Maybe Cam didn't like it.
I liked it. I thought it was Yeah, sure. So maybe it just was overexposed. Maybe Cam didn't like it. I liked it.
I thought it was a good song.
But it was over,
maybe it was overexposed,
overplayed.
You know,
there are certain songs
that are good songs
that I simply don't want
to ever hear again.
I don't think that's a song
that I never want to hear again.
I don't think it was overexposed.
It's pleasant.
But it was very,
it was everywhere.
The video was everywhere.
Song of the Year.
Multi-formatted.
Song of the Year.
Big fucking song,
1991. It was a big fucking year the year. Multi-formatted. Song of the year. Big fucking song, 1991.
BFD. It was a big fucking year for music.
BFD.
Big fucking year for music.
Okay.
Now, Stu, do you want to say any words before we kick out your third jam?
Well, I'm not sure if this band is going to be picked by anybody else
because they've got several number jams,
and I could have gone with a myriad of picks.
Oh, actually, I have a mind blow.
Not a mind blow, but I have a bonus jammy for Stu.
I'm so fucking sorry.
I'm out of practice, okay?
We used to do Pandemic Fridays every fucking week.
It was like fucking every week.
The recycle continued.
And now it's been a long time, okay?
But I just want to shout out my boy JC here.
Jesus Christ?
I ain't no friend of Jesus Christ.
Come on.
Is it getting better?
It's like this guy, like anything he covers
is way better than the original.
Shout out to Rick Rubin.
I don't know if I'm shouting out Rick Rubin.
I think I'm shouting out Johnny Cash.
Okay, but does this exist about Rick Rubin?
I mean, maybe, but maybe not.
It's probably Rick Rubin's idea.
Is there another example of an artist?
I mean, the only other one I can think of that compares to me might be Roy Orbison.
Because Roy Orbison was big in the 50s into the early 60s or whatever.
He didn't have the same kind of cultural...
But then Roy Orbison took 20 years off of being big.
No, but it's not the same.
Roy Orbison was a legit
pop star in his comeback.
Pretty Woman movie
put him back on the map
and he did
Traveling Wilburys
and all this other stuff.
Johnny Cash,
this is still a niche
kind of...
Mystery girl.
You know,
this was not a...
Johnny Cash didn't have
like hits
with the young people.
You know,
it's a good example.
Cher, Believe.
Like, kind of a shitty song, but, like, think about it.
But she had Kiss and all these different hits through the years leading up to that.
Like, she didn't just...
Remember, Turn Back Time was an E.
Yeah, I guess so.
She had stuff going on.
We all sleep alone.
There might not be another example of an artist being rejuvenated like Johnny Cash's career was.
What about, like, Tony Bennett teaming up with Lady Gaga?
It's the same level as this.
They tried to do this with Neil Diamond.
I don't know if you remember,
like he had an album that was like him going back to his roots and he had
this song.
They tried to do it all the time.
They tried to do it with who's,
Oh,
the mountain top Loretta,
Loretta,
Loretta Lynn.
Loretta Lynn.
Yeah.
That's a good example.
Jack Black.
Yeah.
Or Jack White.
Jack White.
Oh my God. Yeah. Jack White was working with, yeah. That's a good example. Jack Black. Yeah, or Jack White. Jack White. Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Jack White was working with her.
Tina Turner's a great example of an artist.
Tina Turner's a good example, yeah.
Well, listen, any band that came out from 1985 to 1991
is an example of that.
Like all these 60s and 70s.
Yeah.
Time of your life.
We should do a deep dive on like that
I think we did this early in pandemic
yeah like see Stevie Winwood
like that's what the top 40 was
Genesis
Grateful Dead were on the chart
like this would be cool in the gang
this would be an example of like an early 2000s
band coming back now
Donny Osmond
Soldier of Love
Benny King Benny King Stand By Me back now and having Donny Osmond soldier of love la la la la la la
Benny King stand by me
but just like re-releasing
a track same song right
Benny King didn't have another song
no he did
his comeback was based on the same
damn song like Kate Bush
does not qualify for this
he's right
this Kate Bush moment I totally do not
get what's happening.
The song wasn't big when it came out.
Yeah.
It wasn't a hit. I heard it. I remember it.
But it wasn't a number one smash.
It was a big CFNY song.
It was a known song, but it wasn't a hit.
No.
I've got to be careful what I say about songs charting.
I've got to fucking charting. I got the fucking...
chart fucking...
Sorry, are we listening to this whole thing?
While we're talking. No?
Cam, you get a bus to catch or something?
I'm trying to be rude.
Okay, it's fucking rude.
I apologize.
While I bring down Johnny Cash,
who of course covered...
Can anybody guess the band that I'm going to play
next while we're live?
So it's a band that has a myriad
of numbered songs. And I was
surprised you didn't go with another one. And there's one that's
a really popular one that I could have gone with.
There's one that's a really heavier one that I went with.
I know what it is. And I went with sort of a lesser known one.
They've got several options here.
Can anybody guess
what the band is? I almost chose this exact song.
What the band is.
There you go.
Well, for those that didn't guess,
we're speaking of Billy. As the blooded streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late
Sapper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
Tomorrow's just an excuse away So I pull my collar up and face the camera
Oh well
33.
That's a number.
Smashing Pumpkins Were having quite a moment
In time
For
In the year 1995
And 1996
Their
Melancholy
And the Infinite Sadness
Album
Had five singles
That's a lot
For
I know it's a double album
Can I guess that?
But that's a lot
For a rock band
Any rock band
I mean
Katy Perry had like five
singles or something. You know, it's like
the Smashing Pumpkins had five
singles on one album. I mean,
that's amazing. I am surprised.
Okay, so Bullet with Butterfly Wings, of course.
Tonight, Tonight. Yep.
Zero? Sure. That's a
number? Yeah.
What else was a single off that?
Big one.
Someone just dropped it in the chat.
Oh yeah, well of course.
1979. So 1979 was actually
the jam I thought one of you two would pick up.
I thought for sure it would get taken.
Especially because Cam has actually gone
historically when I look at
the history of Pandemic Friday.
Cam always picks a Smashing Pond.
This is also the final.
Are you ready?
The final Top 40 entry
in the Smashing Pumpkins
library.
Really?
Yeah.
What about the
Landslide cover?
Or Ava Dore?
The final.
This became the band's
fourth and final
Top 40 hit.
Okay.
Well, Top 40.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay. I'm not 40, yeah. Okay.
Okay.
I'm not doubting.
He was planning on doing a trilogy,
33, 66, and 99,
but never did it.
Never did it.
Too bad.
That would have been clever. And much like Prince,
my previous choice that was foisted on me,
that got me into a little hot water with 1236,
Billy Corgan famously
played all the instruments with the exception of maybe the drums.
But he probably played those too from time to time. But Billy Corgan plays
I don't know about this specific song, but I know rumors persist
that there was tension in the band for years over the fact that Billy didn't let anybody
play on the record. They were his songs.
There's a lot of reverb on this.
It's sort of like that early...
The early
Foo Fighters.
That's right.
Where they would play all the instruments.
I think this is a great song, although it always
sort of sounded like a B-side to me.
Because it's pretty high concept.
It just showed you the popularity that they had
at the time that they could put this out as a single.
They were just so big. And I remember, speaking
of the Phoenix, I remember going
to the Phoenix Theatre to see
Smashing Pumpkins play this double album
for the first time ever. It was in Toronto.
They only did a couple cities.
And it was incredible.
I was there too.
Was Darcy in the band? She was.
Yeah, she was still.
I saw them.
I was,
Smash Pumpkins were,
I'll just say it.
They were probably my favorite band
at that point.
They were my favorite band
at that point.
And I'm going to go see them again
when they come in October.
But I already know
that I should have quit
while I was ahead.
I saw them with Bingo Bob
last time I came to Utah.
That was the best show ever.
I was at the Scotiabank Arena.
And I was at the Somersault 2000
they did their farewell show
and also Billy Corgan
obviously wrestling connection
for us he's the owner of the National Wrestling Alliance
he's like a bit nuts right
I'm sure but I've been in the same place
as him and I've been around him
and I never once like I always talk to him
about wrestling stuff the only few times
that I've been with him and
never did I mention to him what kind of a mark I am.
Has he ever wrestled a match?
I think he must have, but not that I know of, but I don't want to bungle it.
I don't want Mark Weisblatt leaving the hall of fame over this.
He hit someone with a guitar like Jeff, like Jeff Jarrett, I think probably in TNA.
Okay.
Yeah.
Remember AJ Pruszynski was wrestling for a while. Yes. And Jeff Torborg's son. That's right. Probably. In TNA. Okay. Yeah. Remember AJ Pruszynski was wrestling for a while?
He did.
Yes.
And Jeff Torborg's son.
That's right.
Yeah.
Dale.
Dale Torborg.
The Kiss.
The Kiss.
Kiss Demon.
Kiss Demon.
Yes.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
The Ladybug's Game.
It's a bonus jam.
To the Ladybug's Picnic.
I just like the kitty.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
It says Jarvis this time. And they all play games. What is this? At the Ladybug's Picnic. From Sesame Street. I just like the kitty. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
What is this?
From Sesame Street.
Okay.
I like this.
I remember this video.
It was like animated.
I love it.
Sesame Street had these commercials, right?
Right, right, right.
Interstitial thing.
Super cute.
I have an intro before my next song
Isn't this song called The Ladybug's Picnic?
Yep
No it's not a number jam
No but you're disqualified
It's not my fucking jam
It's about accounting
Okay
James B singing on the track
Actually it does sort of sound like...
I was going to say that song,
A, you're adorable, B,
but that's more like a letter song,
not a counting song.
Counting crows.
You're confusing numbers and letters.
I know.
My six-year-old doesn't even do that anymore.
I'm all over the place.
He's lovesick.
You know what I'm not confused about, though?
I bet Stu Stone has never heard this song.
He'll know the band. He will not know this song. Okay, I'm going confused about though. I bet Stu Stone has never heard this song. Throw a bet to you. He'll know the band.
He does.
He will not know this song.
Okay.
I'm going to take that bet and say he will absolutely know this song.
Oh,
wow.
Now the pressure's on.
Wow.
Okay.
So you point at me when you want me to play.
Let's see how it goes.
Okay.
Let her rip,
Mike. I don't think he knows it
I'm shocked
I think it's just LA here Look at his face. I'm shocked. I think it was just L.A.
Is there a chorus?
I'm shocked.
Yeah.
Maybe we need the chorus.
Nothing.
I've never heard this in my life.
Okay, I'm shocked. But also, I remember once in the backyard
I played Weedus' Teenage Dirtbag
And you had never heard that
I didn't know that
But that's not even a Canadian band
No, I know that song
I'm just a teenager
Okay, yeah
Is that that song?
That's the Weedus one, yeah
But this particular jam
I've never heard this song in my life
I'm surprised
Yeah
You might not know this song
You'll know the band
This is Trouble Charger.
Oh, I love Trouble Charger.
Yeah.
So this must have been after the fact.
But I thought maybe you would have picked it up later.
No, the last Trouble Charger I would have known would have been Red.
Yeah.
So this was June 2002, which again, I think Stu was deep into the LA scene.
Not a chance.
Before I forget, Change of Heart.
Because every time I think of Trouble Charger, I think of Change of Heart.
Of course.
Ian Blurden is in my calendar for next week.
I like the song What I Live For.
Is that the song?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's like...
I think it's called Even Grable.
Even Grable.
That's the song that I would download on my phone.
Yeah, that one.
And I feel like Hayden makes a cameo in that video
That's right yeah
Did they have another song in that era?
There were more than one song in the 90s
Morale?
How does that go?
Even Grable is not on iTunes?
Actually I think it's Grable.
It's Grable. G-R-A-B-L-E.
From Self Equals Title.
Oh yeah, I've seen the video
on YouTube. It's like the most grainy
like
triple
VHS taped over
each other. But yeah, Hayden's in here.
Hearing this now, this song, because I always
felt this to me, this was a bit of a
Treble Chargers sellout song. Like, they were gonna
do this big fucking hit. I don't know why at the time,
but it sounds like
Sum 41 to my ears. That's what I thought it was.
Well, there's a reason for that.
What? Because you have some backing
vocals from Derek Weebly. That's what I thought it was.
That's crazy. Even Grable's not on iTunes.
The other big hit was American Psycho.
American Psycho, yeah.
And the drummer from Sum 41.
Guys, do you want to feel old?
Oh, I hit the post there.
Why is that song not available on Apple Music?
Oh, and the other hit, yes.
So it's even Grable.
The other one from that time period, Friend of Mine.
Friend of Mine.
How does that go?
Oh, yeah.
Friend of Mine.
That sounds familiar.
I will not be a friend of mine. I will not call you a friend of mine. That sounds familiar. I will not be a friend of mine.
I will not call you a friend of mine.
I will not.
No, it doesn't ring a bell.
Okay, guys.
Okay, I'm not a good singer.
I'm going to come back to Do You Want to Feel Old.
Greg Norrie, the singer, turned 60 years old this year.
Wow, that's shocking.
What?
So he was like 40 during that time?
Yeah.
So he was like 40 when he did 100 Million.
He was a 40-year-old rock star when he did the song.
Actually, I'm not surprised.
Think of the time difference from Red to that song.
In fact, what was the time?
Not a great recording.
It was like five years.
This was heavy rotation.
I don't know this song.
I don't know this one.
Yeah, this was a big one.
Can you play something from when he was in his 30s? You me to play red again i feel like we've kicked out red actually
no red i know that's just so we're clear
what's the closet are you looking for a light face painted cigarette why okay so Red was 1994. You with me? 100 Million was 2002.
Like, that's eight years right there.
Sorry, when was Red?
94.
I remember they did a re-record of Red for this same album.
Yes, they did, 97.
Which I think was called Maybe It's Me, right?
Maybe It's Me.
But I was hearing it on CFNY before the re-record.
Like, Red was a jam.
1236 going off on
Trouble Charger. What's this? Trouble Charger was originally
called NC-17 as Cam knows.
Well, that was the album that Red
was on, NC-17. They were way older.
And they had a song, Fifth Braid Love.
And they were like in their 30s.
They're a little problematic.
Do you want to hear a few more fun facts?
We're from Sault Ste. Marie. Okay, you give us all the fun facts.
Yeah, so here's the Esri.
We've talked about them before.
I think I've done this exact Esri. Okay, but I'm ready.
A lot of hockey stuff, okay?
So we got the Espositos from Sault Ste. Marie.
We got Ronnie Francis, Kyle Dubois.
Dubis.
Dubis?
Kyle Dubis.
You're saying the GM.
Hold on a minute.
That's pretty bad.
You're saying that the GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs,
whose name is said all the time in this city that you live in,
the head of communications in this city, Kyle Dubois.
Don't tell Connor.
Kyle Dubois.
That's Hall of Fame right there.
Anyway, that's not important.
A couple of important FOTMs.
Bob McKenzie and David Amber.
Wow.
A couple of good ones.
I like those guys.
Amber's cool as shit.
Final fun
fact. This song, 100 million,
2003,
Much Music Video Awards, was nominated for Best
Video. Do you want to hear who it was up against?
I'm going to tell you anyway.
What year? 2003.
Okay.
So we got Trouble Charger 100 Million.
We talked about this band with Dalton Higgins, Swollen Members.
Of course.
Featuring Nelly Furtado, Breathe.
Yep, it was a good jam.
Sean Desmond, Get Ready.
Oh my God, Sean Desmond.
Has an age well.
We got Matthew Goode in A World Called Catastrophe.
In A World Called Catastrophe, yeah.
Matthew Goode, by the way, has also, I think, recently been sort of canceled.
Matthew Sweet.
Matthew Sweet.
And the fifth and final nominee
and the winner,
Our Lady Peace Innocent.
We are all...
I don't know that song either.
That's the cancer song.
So that's the LA years.
I don't even know that.
Those five songs,
the best videos of the year.
Like, this was before...
How many did Harvey direct?
I don't know,
but like this really shows
like this was like I feel like the dying days
of this music like
kind of dominating before like pop took over
Ian says he's going to start using I'm going to tell you
anyway in his lexicon
thank you
he thanks you for that Cam
again I only know my
Toronto ears so that song was everywhere
on the radio and much music it was just a big fucking jam.
Indie rock.
But if I were in LA, maybe I'd be like Stu and I'd be like, I missed it.
It's sad that I missed it because these bands that are good,
like don't make it in the States, a lot of them.
And now they may have.
R-rated piece is innocent.
You might be kind of lucky you missed that.
Like that was everywhere, but that was pretty damn cheesy.
Yeah.
But not that that one's cheesy too, a pretty damn cheesy yeah you know but not that that not that uh that one's cheesy too but it's like you know 1236 as much music post 2000 was
very crazy although jen hall it was on our good you're biased my pal pal and former co-worker
yeah and is she ever going to become an fotm uh because i'm working on dan hill if i can score
dan hill never say never never say never get cory hard in here and maybe i'm working on Dan Hill. If I can score Dan Hill. Never say never. Never say never. Get Corey Hart in here and maybe.
I'm working on Corey.
Trouble Charger are like sort of like the Dallas Diamond Page of music.
Like they had like hit songs in their 40s on like youthful charts.
Yeah.
But like 40 playing like that song.
100 mil.
Like they're trying to sound like Blink-182 or something.
Yeah.
Good for them.
But they did hits. I mean, good for them. But that hits.
I mean, good for them.
Good for them.
1236 Indie Rock Carpet Daggers.
Well, we've got to get even Grable on iTunes so I can listen to it.
Well, here, I know there's a cheesy...
I will pull it up just because it's a really cool tune.
And the video has...
It's not just Hayden.
Who else is there?
Change of Hearts on that video?
I'm pretty sure.
No, it's there.
Mike?
Oh, no, on iTunes.
Mr. Boone?
Yeah?
We celebrated the anniversary of my first time on the show.
But one of the times I was on the show, we played all like 90s CanCon.
And I for sure played this song.
It's one of my 10.
Ethan Grable?
It's a great song.
I had the CD for this.
But I remember there was a second song on the CD.
Can we figure out what that is?
It's this song, Morale.
How does that go?
It's like,
da-na, da-na, da-na,
da-na.
I wouldn't say it's a great song.
More from Morale.
This is cool. This sounds good.
Yeah, this is a great song.
And they were like, the guy was only 38 years.
Mike, you know that song, Morale.
Morale is high.
This is a good song.
Yeah, I know this song. Yeah. Yeah, this is a good song. Yeah, I know this song.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is a big song.
This is a CFNY smash.
Yeah.
Is there a third song off this album?
There is a song called Sick Friend Called.
That did get some CFNY spins.
Oh, yeah.
This is a fucking jam.
You know, the name Morale doesn't make me think of this song,
but this song is fucking amazing.
It's a good song.
Solid.
This whole album, this mini album is great.
There's a second, there's a third song, too.
I remember having the CD and there was like a third song that you could listen to.
Sick Friend Called.
Is that what it's called?
That's the name of the song.
You sure that that's the one?
Positive.
Okay, let me give you a taste of that line.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Like, crank this up.
See, this is the other vocalist
who went on to Broken Social Scene.
Real little Sick Friend Called.
I want to see if Stu remembers it.
Because it definitely got CFNY spins.
Sounds like Broken Social Scene.
Yeah, a little bit.
Oh, he sounds like a Kevin Canning joint or something.
Yeah, yeah.
Locked out or...
It's not as familiar, this one, but maybe I'll get to the chorus.
Yeah, you might.
Taking a treble charger deep dive in the middle of toast.
You never know what'll happen in an episode of toast.
I remember like maybe it's like I can picture them
playing this live
or something.
Like we saw them live.
They definitely played
with like head
a bunch of times.
But the morale,
I heard a lot more
on the radio than this.
Like morale,
I could sing every word.
I don't recognize this song specifically.
Neil knows this song.
I'm doing a little survey here.
Can you do actual surveys in the chat?
No.
I don't think so.
We have to talk to Ian about that.
Yeah.
Anyway, fun band.
I'm not sure I like that song, 100 Million,
but part of their history.
No, 100 Million was a cheesy sell know, part of their history. No,
100 Million was a cheesy sell,
but so was American Psycho.
Totally.
And there's a big fucking hit
and I will be guilty
to turn it up
and sing along or whatever,
but it felt like,
hey,
let's create
like a big alt-rock song
that'll get lots of airplay.
Like,
it really felt...
Well,
1236 said,
Tribal Charger
with the
How Do You Do Fellow Kids
of Canadian alt-rock.
Well,
to me, to me, well, that's Canadian alt-rock. Well, to me,
to me,
well, that's Ian Service,
but to me,
to me,
oh, yeah, I see.
No, it was 1236 that said it.
I'm only looking at the graphic here.
Don't you dare disrespect
Hall of Famer Mark Weisbach.
The blue Chevy picture
of the skateboard is there.
Listen,
when you listen to, like,
Red, Morale,
and even Grable,
it sounds like a cooler band
than American Psycho and 100 Million. Likeble. It sounds like a cooler band than American Psycho and
100 Million.
It sounds like a completely different band.
Yeah, it sounds like a cooler,
more rusty indie.
Yeah, like a Lee's Palace
afternoon matinee type band.
Good luck to all.
And I do need to get Nori Guy in Toronto.
They also fired
their drummer Morris
because the word was
just a fucking cat.
The current reference.
Have another brewski, Mike.
When was the last time
Morris had a commercial
of the cat?
Morris was a big deal
when I was a kid.
I feel like Cam actually,
like this is a shoot.
I'm pretty sure
there was a cat commercial
that Cam loved
maybe it was like
Whiskas or something
meow meow meow meow
but wasn't that Morris
yeah he used to walk around
my kitty cat
craves craves
he would like walk around
singing cat jingles
and stuff
meow meow meow meow
that sounds right
it checks out right
yeah
meow meow meow meow
like follow the bouncing balls
and I'd be like laughing
like I was like Cam's audience
meow meow
alright you guys want my third and final jam?
We're a fancy feast
You ready for my third and final jam?
Meow mix
Oh yeah
A band with a number in the name
Yes
Oh you chose this version
You're so lame.
You kick out your jams, I'll kick out mine.
You can at least mind blow it or something afterwards.
I have a fucking mind blow! Let me do my thing!
You're out of the fucking Hall of Fame, Stu.
Cam, you can stay.
Some weed.
Is this Amy, man?
This is Amy fucking man.
Mike Nolia.
He doesn't watch movies. I have to explain everything to him.
Date it, date it fully.
Right.
That's okay. That was a mind blow or whatever.
I have lots to say.
All of Mike's songs, by the way,
in case you didn't pick up what he was throwing down,
all called One.
One by Metallica.
One by you two.
You guys are here playing fucking checkers, okay?
I'm playing chess.
There you go.
So this is One by Amy Mann.
There will be mind blows to come,
but I want to say this song was introduced to me because I watched
a little film by Paul Thomas
Anderson. A Paul Thomas
Anderson joint if you will.
No, I liked his new one. I'm joking, I'm joking.
We're joking. Relax.
Okay, I gotta calm down here.
It's good to flip the table.
Alright.
The movie's
called Magnolia.
Did you like Boogie Nights, Cam?
Never seen it.
No, I have seen Boogie Nights.
I did enjoy it.
That's a great movie.
I've seen it multiple times.
Okay, well, Magnolia was the follow-up.
You might remember a young actor named Thomas Cruise.
Right.
Anyways, Magnolia had a big cast.
It was actually, I thought it was excellent.
Jason Robards was in there.
Yeah, there's Tom Steinfeld.
The book man from Steinfeld's in there,
Thomas Baker Hall.
Oh, he just died.
Just died, yeah.
Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Okay, lots of great actors in it, okay?
Now, there were a couple of...
Amy Mann's all over the fucking soundtrack.
In fact, Paul Thomas Anderson said
he was inspired by the music of Amy Mann,
and that's what inspired him to write the script to Magnolia.
Wow.
Amy Mann inspired the Magnolia script.
She's all over the fucking soundtrack.
A couple of the standout jams on the soundtrack are Save Me,
which got, like, I think it might have gotten an Oscar.
How did that go?
Save Me.
I'm not going to sing it.
She has a better voice than me.
But Save Me, you would know if you heard it.
And Wise Up. How does that go? Wise is that like wise up wise up come on everybody
the parachute club wise up was also in a commercial for um wise up or rise up no wise up for like sick
kids hospital or something wise up is also the name of uh wise blood's new soda pop company
wise up should be wise up but it's wise up but that pop company. Wise Up should be Wise Blood's new podcast.
It's like 7 Up,
but it's Wise Up.
But that should be
his podcast title.
It should be.
I'd like to be his co-host.
There's also a
pop will eat itself.
Okay, a couple of fun
facts about her
before I kick out
some mind blows and shit.
This is all over the place.
Amy Mann
is a woman.
Everyone knows this,
but I need to say it
because there might be
one person who's listening
now and is going to
learn this from me.
Who's she married to?
Okay, I'll get to that because we don't talk about marriages though
he is a co-founder of the new wave band till tuesday did you know she wrote carrie voices
fucking carrie voices carrie a big hit 1985 by till tuesday making a kate bush kind of come back
that song very similar kind of comeback, that song.
Very similar kind of...
Big jam.
Big vibe.
We've kicked it out before, though.
But yeah, Till Tuesday's Voices Carry.
I nominate Voices Carry to be the next big song.
Here's some fun facts.
You ready?
Okay, this is...
Ready?
Are you guys sitting down?
Hush, hush.
Earlier, we talked about JC, right?
Jesus Christ.
Yes.
We talked about Jesus earlier today.
We did talk about Jesus, yes.
When I think of Jesus, I think about how Jesus built my hot rod.
That's what I think of. Jesus built my hot rod. That's what I think of. Jesus
built my hot rod.
Who wants to guess the musician
Amy Mann
that had a dysfunctional romance
with Amy Mann in the
late 70s, early 80s.
This is in Boston. And that's what
inspired Voices Carry.
So Amy Mann wrote Voices Carry
after a dysfunctional romance
with this musician.
Who wants to guess this musician's name?
Waylon Jennings.
Sorry, in Boston?
Just a good old boy.
Yeah, it was in Boston.
Late 70s, early 80s.
Wait, from what city was this in?
Boston.
This was in Boston, Massachusetts.
More than a feeling.
Do you know the song Massachusetts
by the Bee Gees?
Yes, of course I do.
It's a good song.
Warren Savant.
Before he figured out the falsetto.
Good guess.
No.
Any guesses?
Should I go to the live chat here?
Rob Lowe.
Jay Maskis.
Who's from Boston?
Donnie Wahlberg.
Okay.
I thought I gave you a big clue.
Maybe that fucking clue wasn't big enough.
Why did I randomly talk about...
Why would I randomly just discuss
for no particular reason...
Al Jorgensen.
Jesus built my fucking hot rod.
Al Jorgensen!
Really?
Wow.
I thought you were going to say
Gibby Haynes for a second.
No, that's a good guess.
Al Jorgensen's pretty disturbing.
So Al Jorgensen, okay.
Is he the guy that makes
that hand cream, Jorgensen's?
He's the ministry guy, okay?
You're a wrestling guy.
New world order.
NWO.
Come on, okay?
He's the fucking guy who had the relationship with Amen.
But now, Amen.
Ministry did the NWO theme?
Yeah.
Well, the NWO is a song called NWO.
So, whole work of me here.
Now, of course, she's married to someone else now,
and I know you know who it is,
but I'm going to bring this back to Stu Stone, okay?
Oh, wow, shit.
Finally.
Amy Mann is now married to a different songwriter.
Who can tell me the name of this person?
Someone that I know?
Yes.
We all know this guy.
I know him personally?
Well, you know his deceased brother personally oh
shout out to ridley funeral home oh uh michael penn michael penn michael penn is now married
of course to yes i didn't know michael penn was the brother of michael penn has two brothers oh
i know sean and chris penn that makes sense right Right. Because, because yeah, so Sean Penn is Michael Penn's brother.
And also Sean Penn is the brother-in-law.
Michael Penn had a hit for a second.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you have the song?
No myth,
which we did.
No,

but it's the only Michael Penn song.

from Dewar
yeah I know that song
say 15%
with promo code
Toronto Mike
yeah
no I know this song
was it on toast
or pandemic Fridays
or PPMM
that we heard no myth
because I feel like
that was like
I don't know man
did they play this on CFNY?
Looking for maybe
I might have stuck it into a
PPMM with Ivor
I also saw Ivor Hamilton at the Roger
Waters show. Even though
Pink Floyd, not a CFNY band.
No, but it's an Ivor Hamilton
and Alan Cross band. Did you pay for
the tickets? No.
Did not pay. In fact fact do you pay for any of
these shows wow never paid because canada kept paid for one oh the fun story about how how did
i get the ticket to moist and tea party was that i was uh trying to get jeff marden on toronto mic
and i was going through the you won them on the dean blundell podcast who So, I, at the last minute or whatever,
this guy, Jeff Martin, you ever heard of him?
He decided he didn't want to do Toronto Mike.
So, I think they felt so bad,
they tugged me along for weeks,
that they said, hey, we're leaving two tickets for you
at the wheel call.
And I took Langer.
Langer Banger.
I put in the FOTM and said, who wants to go?
Langer Banger.
We did not smoke any weed.
We just drank a very expensive Stella beer.
They didn't have any Great Lakes there.
Stella Artois, no relation to, what's his name?
Kyle Dubois.
All I can tell you is a can of Stella shouldn't cost.
Sorry, how much does it cost?
18 bucks, I think it was.
Isn't that ridiculous?
No wonder Drake has a lot of money.
That's why I don't drink.
And that's actually,
but you buy your Great Lakes from the retail store
and you can get the full fucking...
By the way, I don't know if Seustone knows this tomorrow.
Nas playing in Toronto tomorrow.
Yeah, Beer Fest.
At the Beer Fest.
Really?
Yes.
I got fucked on that one too.
I got to go to that.
Yeah.
Isn't he coming back to play again?
I don't know how you play two concerts in succession.
We'll have to edit out that singing we all did
because, you know, we're tone deaf.
Well, the brother's like yelling,
who cares if I played on CFNY, which is fair.
Hey, brother, what podcast are you listening to, okay?
That's what we do here.
The beer fest is tomorrow?
Fuck.
It's tomorrow that he's playing?
Yeah.
I won't be able to go.
What time does he go on?
It's 8.30.
I might be able to go.
I don't know.
Can you buy tickets still or is it sold out?
Don't know.
Finally.
Don't know.
You're supposed to drop an F-bomb like Streak.
This is the real song.
No, it's still not.
You're right.
These are my mind blows.
I have two of them.
Was this ever on Sesame Street?
Probably. What am I thinking of lowercase L standing on a hill?
So this is Harry Nilsson, okay?
Right.
He wrote this song.
This is his song.
Her Amy Mann's version sounds more like his
version than it does the other version which we'll get to in a minute here but it's the saddest
experience you'll ever know it's not true though he's lying so he wrote this and it was on his 1968
album aerial ballet one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do it's kind of got an elnor
rigby vibe.
He was calling someone and he got a busy signal.
Do you guys, you guys are Generation X.
Do you remember busy signals?
Of course.
That's what inspires that opening, that beep, beep, beep, beep.
That's supposed to be like the tone you get when you get a busy signal.
Has anyone ever kicked out a Harry Nielsen jam?
I guess like Without You or whatever that monster jam is.
What part of the city does Weisblatt live in?
You know?
You don't know.
North.
Just trying to figure out which pickle barrel I should meet him at.
How many are around?
I found a secret one at Centerpoint Mall that I didn't even know existed.
Okay, that's...
I thought Centerpoint, they were like tearing down.
Well, there's a pickle barrel there that nobody's in.
Really?
We can go there anytime.
Can I come?
Yes.
Okay.
Cam, actually, I invite you to come.
Okay, I'm serious.
I would love that.
Me, you, and Wise Blot shooting the shit over some mishmash.
Yeah. Wise Blot, if shit over some mishmash.
Wise Blot, if you're still here, are you down to go for lunch with me and Kim?
Let us know.
This band is Three Dog Night.
Right.
They covered the Harry Nilsson song.
And this song was the big hit of all of them. This one went to number five
on the Billboard Hot 100 in
1969. Charting higher than Prince's 1999.
It went to number four
in Canada.
Who produced this version? It sounds like it could
be like the ELO guy or
somebody. This sounds like that new
1975 single.
It's got like a Beatles vibe to it.
It has a Beatles vibe to it. It's got like a song cycle type thing. It has a Beatles vibe to it.
Three Dog Night kind of
feasted on cover songs.
When I think about all their big hits,
they're all fucking cover songs.
My dad was a Three Dog Night fan, I think,
because we had all their cassettes and records.
Or 8-tracks.
Was this on Here Comes Eli or something?
Eli's Coming?
Yeah.
Eli's Coming.
They're not Canadian, right? Just like Laura? Yeah. Eli's Coming. They're not Canadian, right?
Laura Nero.
They're American.
They're American.
But yeah,
What was their biggest song?
Like Jeremiah
was a Plum Frog?
Yeah, that was
their biggest song.
Is it really?
Joy to the World.
Joy to the World.
Wow.
Don't forget,
they went to number one
with the Bruce,
oh sorry,
with the
Mama Told Me Not to Come.
Should we do it?
All right.
Mama Told Me Not to Come. I don do it? Mama Told Me Not To Come.
I don't know that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was it Hepshire or like Humble Howard?
Humble Howard.
Humble Howard.
He was our guest on Pandemic Friday
when we were kicking out covers or something.
That's like a Randy Newman song.
That's a Randy Newman song.
And that's the fact I keep dropping
is that Randy Newman, Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Dylan,
none of them went to number one on their own, but they all wrote songs that other artists took to number one. I feel like Randy Newman and Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Dylan. None of them went to number one on their own,
but they all wrote songs that other artists took to number one.
I feel like Randy Newman and Harry Nielsen did a joint album.
It was like they were each playing each other's songs.
That's a fun fact, right?
If it's true.
Why not?
There's something like that.
Lee Singer broke his Johnson from Too Much Sex.
Joker-oo-roo. First of all, there's no bone in a Johnson, right? These things are broke as Johnson from Too Much Sex. Joker Ruru.
First of all, there's no bone in a Johnson, right?
By the way, I was at the Fairview Mall recently.
You don't want to talk about this?
No.
I'm in my penis time.
Just gloss it over.
No, this is just to do with that because Joker Ruru used to add his name,
and I know he wants me to do Ric Flair,
so I just wanted to point something out.
I was at the mall, at the Fairview Mall, actually.
Oh.
I'm in the food court.
Sorry, recently? Yep. I'm in the food court. Sorry, recently?
Yep, I'm in the food court.
And there's all these places that you can eat there.
But I look over, and what restaurant has the longest line?
McDonald's.
The oldest ride in the park, the longest line.
McDonald's.
Yeah.
I couldn't believe it.
McDonald's is wildly popular.
Number one with a bullet. It's wild. I couldn't believe it. McDonald's is wildly popular. Number one with a bullet.
It's wild.
I couldn't believe it.
I was like, you guys can go to McDonald's anywhere.
You're at a food court.
Why are you eating McDonald's?
That's not a food court thing to do.
New York fries is what you get.
You can't get anywhere.
Or you just go to a place that you cannot go.
You go to a food court.
You go to a Made in Japan teriyaki experience.
You go to a piazza pizza.
Or like a Mr. Greek or something.
Get a nice platter.
Maybe they're on a budget, these people.
McDonald's is not cheap, though.
McDonald's was the most expensive thing.
With all due respect to, who's her friend
who works there?
In the DM card.
Mike Rushmike.
He gave me a Big Mac card once.
He's given me a Big Mac card.
I need another one of those. Much love to Rushmike. He gave me a Big Mac card once. He's given me a Big Mac card. I need another one of those.
I want to say,
much love to Rushmike.
He's the best.
One of the good ones.
I love these people.
Breaking news,
McDonald's.
I've broken two big stories here.
Prince, popular in the 80s.
McDonald's, popular in the food court.
Big lineup.
Big old line.
Did you see that tweet?
Mr. Twitter,
did you see that tweet from Lake Superior?
Somebody said, water's wet.
And he said, oh, yeah.
Water's not wet, you dumbass.
Things that touches become wet or something.
Yeah.
I was thinking.
Yeah, like, it had a moment.
Captain Obvious over here.
Yeah.
Stu Stone.
Prince was a big fucking artist in the 80s.
And McDonald's is a big.
Let's name some places food court
places manchu walk just got mentioned by my boy neil that's funny shit manchu walk that was a big
one what about arby's arby's i don't see those too often but i do like them yeah i mean horsey
sauce orange julius orange julius yeah that's a good one that's a good one. That's a good one. Taco Bell was a big food court. Sure, but there's a lot of Taco Bells.
But here's...
There you go.
Why was that court?
Why have I never seen a New York fries outside of a food court?
Am I not looking hard enough?
Do they exist?
I don't think they exist.
I think that's just a food court brand.
They, I think, are owned by the same people who own South Street Burger.
But I've seen a South Street Burger.
There was one on Isley.
Manchu Wok.
I used to eat the shit of some Manchu Wok.
Manchu Woke.
Stu, the floor is yours.
What a great night we've had.
You only have one jam to go.
The brother is, now I'm craving chicken.
Oh, the brother covered, he's got like an Instagram where he does fast food stuff.
Like he's all about like.
Sorry, this brother?
Yeah, this brother.
He's all about like if Kentucky Fried Chicken, KFC I guess it's called now.
If KFC's got a new
chicken thing and it's wrapped in bacon how about this he's like he go he like covers it have you
had the ice cream swish la thing no i don't ice cream chicken sandwich it's like i don't even
have an interest in that chicken with ice cream on it that's got to be weird that's a gimmick
no it's like the cne has to do things like trying to pop the crowd. I have no interest. Yeah, they're trying to get some Twitter mentions, okay?
What say you, Stu, about your final jam?
I would say that if people are ready for my final jam
and to close this episode of Toast,
please press 1 in the chat room
just so I know that you're still with us.
And if anybody...
This might be a history-making song for me.
Cyber Cafe, press 1.
Because we have done...
He heard it in real...
I just realized Cyber Cafe's in the room
because it does a delay, right?
So they didn't hear it yet.
Coming from within the house.
Okay, so there is a band...
Although Jokeruru is there
and YYZ Gorgeous is there with a white one.
I know, but the brother says he's...
He says, happy National Junk Food Day.
Isn't that every day?
Real quick, guys.
There's a band that people know that I like.
I've been on this show, Toast.
Which episode of Toast is this?
I'm going to check.
I think it's seven.
I don't believe that I've played this band yet.
Maybe I have.
It's seven.
Have I played this band yet on Toast? I don't believe that i've played this band yet maybe i have it's seven have i played this
band yet on toast i don't think so i think you have but i don't think i have i play it like just
for fun i have one song i do play by this band but it's not a jam i chose well i'm gonna play
this song and when mike said that the category was numbered j. I only got excited for this category because it gave me an excuse
to play the greatest rock and roll band
in the history of 1978 to 1984.
Wow. I love you. Of course, the great Steve Lukather and Toto.
Nice yachting music right here.
We are listening to the sounds of Toto 99. A song that has been kicked out during the pandemic
but never on toast.
And there's some
really cool musicianship
that's going to happen later on in the song
that I won't speak over.
The song is not about Wayne Gretzky.
You can go like this and I'll bring it up. That's what Wiseblood does when I record.
He goes like this.
The song is not about Wayne Gretzky.
As much as people thought at the time.
Oh, I thought it was about Will Paymont.
Was he 99?
Yeah.
The song actually was about a character
from a lesser known George Lucas movie.
Do you guys know what I'm talking about?
THX.
Yes.
Have you seen that movie? No. THX. I saw American Graffiti, but'm talking about? THX. Yes. Have you seen that movie?
No.
THX.
I saw American Graffiti, but I did not see THX.
Well, this music video and this song is all sort of a dedication to that movie.
And that's probably why this song never really got as big as it could have, maybe, because not a lot of people.
That movie wasn't as popular as the band maybe thought it was going to be.
But I will say this, and this is a shoot, brother.
This song is from an album called Hydra.
Hydra.
And it is an awesome album that a lot of people don't know about.
Because it doesn't, you know, this is,
the next album is the one that has Rosanna and Africa and all those.
So this is, like, 80?
This is, like, right before. This is 79. 79. So this is right before.
This is 79.
79.
But this song was on the charts, number 26 on the Billboard chart,
number 17 in Canada.
And it wasn't.
So the band, the critics came out and they were like,
well, we don't know if we like this because it sounds too much like,
doesn't sound at all like the last album. And the band was like, fuck off.
We'll play whatever we want. And that sort of started this rocky relationship
that they had with their musical editorial
peers, I should say, like critics. You know what I'm saying?
Like, Toto's not in the Hall of Fame. You guys know that, right? And it all has to do
with the fact that they refused to do the cover of Rolling Stone
after their success of Toto 4 because they were like,
fuck you, now you want to put us on the cover?
Is that true?
Yeah, that's a real story.
That's a shoot.
They were like, you know what? You guys dissed the shit out of us on our last album.
We're not going to do your magazine. And it cost them.
So you're saying they've been blackballed.
I feel like they have.
And I'm sure Steve
Lukather would probably say the same thing.
Is it the Hall of
Fame or the Hall of Very Good?
Toto? They should be in the Hall
of Fame. Like a Herald Bands.
When I listen to this song,
I get what you dig about it, I
think, but I actually find it really
sleepy and boring. That's fine.
You pick numbered jams. This is a numbered boring. That's fine. You pick numbered jams, this is
a numbered song. That's why. If I was going to play you...
Only one of us was disqualified
tonight. Right. But I
will say this. I dare
you, I dare you
to find musicians
like Steve
Lukather and the Picaro Brothers. What about the
Wrecking Crew? And the Picaro Brothers that were on
more influential songs of your generation. Oh, my generation. Then the Picaro brothers. What about the wrecking crew? And the Picaro brothers that were on more influential
songs of your
generation.
Oh my generation.
Then the members
of Toto.
They're on every
fucking record from
Michael Jackson to
Madonna on down.
All of them.
They should be in
the Hall of Fame
for their contributions
to music.
I think that's fair.
They should be in
the Hall of Fame
because they're the
best at their
instruments.
Is Rusty in the
Hall of Fame?
It's a different
Hall of Fame.
I feel like Toto's Stu Stone is in the Hall of Fame. The Toronto Mike Hall of Fame because they're the best at their instruments. Is Rusty in the Hall of Fame? It's a different Hall of Fame. I feel like Toto's...
Stu Stone is in the Hall of Fame.
The Toronto Mike Hall of Fame. It's the FOTM
Hall of Fame, brother. And you belong there!
Fucking Toto can come in my Hall of Fame.
Toto deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and
they should just for their contributions.
And anyway, I'm just proud that I got to play
this, but I'm not going to leave here without making
a mind blow.
Before you do, what is toto like what
what's the band it's a dog it's a dog is it just like the origin of the name is that they were just
like getting ready to go do their first show and they were like what's the band name and they were
like uh toto and they never changed it because somebody had just seen wizard of oz on tv or
something some kind of thing like that okay where it wasn't supposed to be the name. Have you seen Wizard of Oz?
That was it.
Yeah, probably.
I do like the Howard Jones song,
No One Is to Blame, by the way.
Oh, Joe.
He's right.
Every album after Toto Ford did worse than the previous one.
It's true.
But either way, look at their body of work, guys.
Do the research.
Go on the internet and look up steve
lucather and see the records that he's on it's in the thousands and you all the songs that you
listen to in your childhood if you are in the demographic of this podcast these guys are on
the mall either playing the drums the or the guitar, or even singing.
They're on them all.
All.
Chicago.
All their hits.
I know.
Chicago, the band's not playing the fucking songs.
It's Toto.
Yeah.
Michael Jackson.
It's crazy, guys.
So put them in the Hall of Fame. I need to see a list of who's in there.
I don't even have a good sense of who's in the Hall of Fame.
Not Toto. The pretenders in the Hall of Fame. I need to see a list of who's in there. I don't even have a good sense of who's in the Hall of Fame. Not Toto.
The Pretenders?
Are the Pretenders in the Hall of Fame?
The Cures in the Hall of Fame?
Okay.
The Beatles?
Public Enemy in there?
Anyway.
I'm not sure.
Nirvana?
Nirvana.
There was another anniversary that happened over the last couple weeks of a classic album
that went on to sell more records than
Sloan.
Numbered Jam
produced by DJ
Lethal. Uh oh.
We'll give
a little taste of it.
That's the one.
That's it. time I ever got some ass. Pop rock in my mouth, wanna go down south, but the whopper in my stomach really gave me gas. Listen you crazy motherfucker, let's skip class. I got a fresh pack of hop-hop-hop-hop berry blasts. I got money to kill and ants to burn. Dry car noir in a salon pun. Michael Jackson's
got a glove. French is crying like a dove. And the radio's kicking that song, I need love. I do too.
So I hit the pavement with my homeboy Stu. Break out the cardboard, break out the beatbox. Take
off your new shoes, hop, lock it inside. Hey Stu, I got the robot down on lock. I got a cabbage patch So the song is called 1984
That's a number gem
The Orwell book
1984
And we're just referencing all these great things from the 80s
Ominous
But I really
That line where I just said
I got a Cabbage Patch Kid
and it's still in the box,
that's true.
I still have a Cabbage Patch Kid
still in the box.
Monica is not in the box,
but Monica still got
her Cabbage Patch Kid.
Oh man,
can I just say one lyric
that I just want to repeat here?
You don't have to rewind
or anything.
He's talking about Rubik's Cubes,
right?
He's like,
and I go,
I got a Rubik's Cube too,
but mine's all black.
I just peel off all the stickers
and don't put them back.
That's a fucking,
who raps that in a song?
Yeah.
I got a Rubik's Cube too,
but mine's all black.
I just peel off all the stickers
and don't put them back.
That's hilarious.
I was like,
I did that.
Are you in the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
I should be.
Are you going to see Jimmy Hart?
No.
It's Sean.
He's from the Gentry.
I assume Sean's going. He's from the Gentry. I assume Sean's going.
He's from the Gentry.
He's doing like an autograph signing in like Vaughn or something.
The city above Toronto?
But it's at like a retro snack store.
Just talk about like Rubik's Cube and stuff.
Sort of reminded me of that.
Are you going to get DJ Lethal on an episode of Toast?
Probably not.
To pop in?
Well, he is now.
He's deep. He produced this song. Well, then lots of people. And I'll tell youast. Probably not. Just to pop in. Well, he is now. He's deep.
He produced this song.
And I'll tell you what,
I was in a real pinch too
because the original version
of this song
was not this.
It was us rapping over
some sample that we had
from like breakdancing
song from 84
and the label
wouldn't clear it.
And so at the last minute,
Lee was like,
I was like,
help.
And he threw this beat together in about five seconds.
I don't normally come in that hot with the lows of the low.
And that.
DJ Lethal would be disappointed with that one.
And that.
Gentlemen, it's been too long.
I can't believe we have to wait another month to do this again.
What did Jeff Wood say about what's an orgies?
Listen to the episode. I asked him. I asked him. I can't remember we have to wait another month to do this again. What did Jeff Wood say about what's an orgies? Listen to the episode.
I asked him.
I asked him.
I can't remember what he said now.
Do you remember?
You just heard that episode, Ken.
Well, he said, like in his dulcet tones.
And that.
An orgy is, you know, something a lot of fun.
I think that's the way he went to the Oasis Aqua Lounge.
Jag and talk about kind of the rules of engagement. Sexy time. when you went to the Oasis Aqua Lounge. Oh, right. Jag and talk about
kind of the rules
of engagement.
Sexy time.
That was a Sunday night, too.
Yeah.
With the Sioux?
Also, yeah,
Monica was out of town, too,
so I was kind of like...
Did you J-O?
During the episode?
Afterwards.
Yeah.
You're pretty, like,
tumescent during it.
And that.
And that.
What the fuck does tumescent
mean? I gotta google the fucking word
to know what you just said to me. Is that an insult?
No, no, not at all.
Do you know that word too? I've learned many words
from Cam and one of them is chicanery. Did you call me
tumescent? Chicanery.
That one I know. He taught that to me.
Oh yeah, like the board?
Chicanery.
Chicanery board. Yeah, look it up. It's on Google. In between him saying meow, meow, meow, he would. Chicanery. Yeah. Chicanery board. Yeah, look it up.
It's on Google.
In between him saying meow, meow, meow, he would say chicanery.
Congrats on getting nominated.
Forget nominated.
You're in.
Congrats on being in the FOTM Hall of Fame.
That's a terrible handshake.
He had COVID, okay?
What's the matter with you?
He had COVID.
He's tired.
Amazing, guys.
Guys, honestly, thank you to all the FOTMs who listened
and we'll be

Third Thursday of August.
Whatever that is, we'll be back at 8 a.m.
Ric Flair will have wrestled his last match.
I haven't seen him wrestle his
first match yet.
He's teaming up with
his son-in-law, Andrade.
Andrade?
And he's taking on Jay Lethal and Double J, Jeff Jarrett.
Like the...
And that!
And that.
There you go.
And that brings us to the end of our 1,085th show.
And congratulations to Cam on the nomination into the Hall of Fame.
Well, you're in.
Thank you.
Listen to the Rod Black, Leo Roudin's episode.
I know Cam won't listen.
He's big on the cord stellic Damien Cox, which is also great.
But listen to the Rod Black, Leo Roudin's reunion.
Okay, Stu?
I will.
You'll dig it.
I will.
