You're almost done. Today, for the eighth episode of Toast, is Cam Gordon. Wow. And Stu Stone. Yay! When did we bring this back? I thought there was more.

Eight? I guess once a month. Once a month. Yeah, we only brought it. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. It is what it is. Like I did the count. It is what it is.

The accountants went over the numbers. I am what I am. This is the eighth. That's a Popeye. Yeah. We're also coming on to the one-year anniversary of Mike's camping trip.

Oh, I have another one. Right. He's slash pulling the plug on the original incarnation of this successful show. When he got exhausted, he couldn't. Pulling the plug on the original incarnation. Totally. When he got exhausted. Back when we used to do this weekly. Now it's just eight episodes. You change your tune quickly.

Now you're saying, oh, it's every three. It should be every three weeks. I am of the opinion that weekly is too much. Monthly is too little. Can't we meet in the middle? No. I'm looking at... Are you looking at comments?

No, there's a delay on the feed, but it's still like us. Our wrestling poses. All right, so we're live at live.torontomike.com. The mega powers. Every episode of Toast is live. Of course, this is also recorded to be an episode of Toronto Mike.

This is episode 1100. That's a pretty round number. Yeah. This is 1100 right here? Right here. This is it. And last time you guys were here. Are you doing this?

This is the 3WE Cleveland Deep Dive, 1100 AM? Yes. Do you know that station? No, I know WKRP. That's in Cincinnati. Yeah, because back in the day, when I used to be a Cleveland Guardians fan as a youngster, I would have to get the transistor radio.

Really? I could get 1100 AM so I could hear the Cleveland games. Like Pat Tabler and Joe Carter? Cory Snyder, of course. Cecil Cooper? No. No Cecil Cooper? Never. Or the Cecil, though.

Okay. Nope. Cecil Kilder for like a cup of coffee. Really? Greg Swindell. But Cory Cecil, though. Okay. Nope. Except I killed her for a cup of coffee. Really? Greg Swindell. Corey Snyder, back to that. Is that your favorite ball player of all time? He was. Back then, he was, yes. And that's a shoot favorite player. Genuine. Stu had the

jersey, all sorts of stuff. Wow. And Cam, you pointed out that I think we talked about Blue Jays that have hit below the Mendoza line, which is batting under 200. Well, to be fair, he didn't have many at-bats. No, but there's a minimum at-bat before you can count it for Mendoza line. He hit the minimum, and he was, what, the third lowest average in Blue Jays history? That's probably why he was kept off the playoff roster that year.

What year? Was that in 92? Oh, so he was on that team? Yeah. Wow. Holy shit. Him and Dave Parker came over, and neither of them played in the postseason. Right.

Okay, Dave Parker was here before. I remember that. Or whatever the case may be. I don't want to get 1236, or the former 1236. 1236 once you kicked out of the FOTM Hall of Fame. So last time you guys were here, I inducted you into the FOTM Hall of Fame. Which I appreciate. And you're not going anywhere.

No. You can murder somebody at City Hall, and I'm keeping you in the FOTM Hall of Fame. Which I appreciate. And you're not going anywhere. You can murder somebody at City Hall and I'm keeping you in the FOTM Hall of Fame. Hey, before I I'm going to get serious for a moment and then we're going to have a whole lot of fun. There's a lot of ground to cover. By the way, just reading the chat here, shout out to Brooke Jacoby, Doug Jones. Yeah. They're very right about that.

The late Doug Jones. Tom Candy audience. Tom Candy. Yeah, they had some good Julio Frank. They had some fun players. Remember, there was that stretch where every team in the AL East took a turn winning the pennant, right? Yeah. So they had to win the pennant at some, what was that, 87? No, no. What year did they win?

In 97. It's like 95 they went to the World Series. No, no, no. In 97 they went to the World Series and they lost. Who's the fast guy? Who's the fast guy? You're talking about Kenny Lofton. Kenny Lofton. Yes. Okay.

Apparently an asshole. Oh, really? I read an article recently. That's why he's not in the Hall of Fame. Well, fuck that guy. I'm cracking open the beer and then we're going to have a serious moment before we have fun. Okay. So I'm going to my crack and open. Sunnyside because the Sunnyside Pavilion, which is on the cover of this beer, turned

100 years old the other day and I actually took a photo of my bike outside the pavilion. The 100th birthday of Sunnyside. There you go. What do you got there? I'm going to have the Canuck DLL. I'm going to thank you. I'm going to crack it right on the mic here. So the serious moment before we go back to the toast

frivolity. Frivolity? Before we have fun on toast, I just want to be very serious for a moment and send my condolences to my friend and colleague Mark Hebbshire. The passing of his mother, Sylvia, 90 years old and there was no Hebbsy

on sports this week because, of course, Mark had to say goodbye to his, yeah, sitting Shiva and saying goodbye to his mom. So I just want to let Mark Hebbshire know that we're... I don't know if Mark listens to this, but if he does, definitely we're sending our love to him.

Tough time for Mark. You know, even at 90, that's a good, that's a hell of a run. And it's, it's not easy. It's a good,

good long life. I take it. You ever play that game? Like, would you take that number? Like I guaranteed, but you know, I'll take 90.

You know what I mean? Like, like,. But I'll take 90. Over what? Like overseeing what nature does. Because nature might beat 90. Maybe I'll die at 60. Oh, like if you can just guarantee. If you can lock it in, I will lock it in at 90. It's like a Ridley Funeral Home drinking game. Shout out to Ridley Funeral Home.

Parlor game. In happier news, I want to ask Stu how Aunt sandy's birthday party went because i saw some footage and it looked amazing that was a good time uh my aunt sandy who's a internet viral sensation uh she had her 96th birthday uh just a few weeks ago or last week i guess it was and uh i rented a stretch limousine wow and uh she had a very funny remark about that, by the way. She said, the next time I ride in one of these is... She made one of those types of jokes. But we went to the casino, the one that wasn't on strike, and we played some slots.

Wow. She was slotting it up. How old is she? 96. Wow. She was slotting it up. How old is she? 96. Wow. She loved it. Then we went to the Harvey's drive-thru, which is what one does in a stretch limousine. Very tasty.

And then we went back for some cake and some coffee. What's her order at Harvey's? She got some French fries. Okay. Okay. I wonder if she was going for the protein. A la carte. A la carte.

You can't go wrong with that. Are you kidding me? Fries and ketchup. Okay. Their fries are decent. Yeah, you know, like McDonald's gets all the praise for their fries, but personally, I'd rather. It depends on the Harvey's, you know.

Really? To be honest with you, the Harvey's that share locations with Swish LA's. Better fries? Better fries because you get the Swish LA fries. Right. Is that right? Yeah. I didn't know about this.

Higher stakes. Yeah. Okay. Because Swish LA fries are very good. Where can I see this footage? I totally miss this. I'll show it to chalet fries. Right. Is that right? Yeah. I didn't know about this. Higher stakes. Yeah. Okay, because Swiss chalet fries are very good. Where can I see this footage? I totally miss this. I'll show it to you. Okay.

Yeah, I saw it in multiple locations, Cam. You're not paying attention, okay? It was on Twitter. Yeah. I saw a photo of Aunt Sandy at the craps table in Vegas at 2.30 a.m. That's a true story. That was a good shot.

I could just tell. It's like a fucking pit boss. A pint-sized pit boss. Quick version of that story. So this was on her 88th birthday. We went to Vegas for Aunt Sandy's birthday. Auntie Sandy's birthday. And she had her sort of caregiver that came with us.

And we went. Just keep going. Okay. We went to Vegas. We put her to bed after dinner. It was like maybe like 9 o'clock. She went to bed. We all went out.

We went to some club. We like wandered around. At 2 in the morning, we're getting out of the club. Everybody's wasted. I'm walking to my room. I look over to the craps table. There's like a little crowd around there. And I'm squinting and I'm like, what the hell?

And my aunt, not only did she sneak out of the room, she waited for the caregiver to fall asleep. Snuck, got dressed again. Snuck out of the room and went to play craps. And I said, Auntie, it's 2.30 in the morning. What are you doing? You gotta go to sleep. She said, I'll sleep when I'm dead. There you go. And she played craps all night long. And she's defeated COVID multiple times.

Three times. Amazing. What a life. And she's a huge fan of this song as well. Is that true? I think so. What do you guys think of this jam? Like straight up honest.

I think it's good. I love it. It's great. Classic. They have a couple of songs, like two or three songs that are good. This was a big CFDR jam and like right out of the gate,

it's like, who are these guys? And it wasn't, I learned because the reason I'm playing this is to just chat briefly about my visit to the woodshed to talk to Jim Cuddy. Blue Rodeo. Blue Rodeo, right. This was not the first single from Outskirts. I always thought it was the first single

because it's the first one I heard. This was on like television commercials, like the, oh baby, you. That was always thought it was the first single because it's the first one I heard. This was on like television commercials like the, oh baby, that was like, it was on a commercial for like CFNY

or not CFNY, CHFI maybe? CHFI? Chum FM or something? Big jam. What was the first single? Rose Colored Glasses? It was the whole,

no, no. It was the, the song Outskirts. The song Outskirts from the album Outskirts. That's a great, they're all great, those singles. Yeah, yeah, except Outskirts. The song Outskirts from the album Outskirts. That's a great... They're all great, those singers. Yeah, yeah, except Outskirts didn't make any noise.

Nobody played it. Nobody had any interest. And then this one hit. I think during the grunge era of 102.1, they had a blue rodeo song snuck in there, which was... Get this fucking guy out of here! Which was...

No. What's the song? I Almost Had You There or something? Hasn't hit me yet. Never happened. That was on CFNY. In the grunge era of CFNY, they were not playing any Blue Rodeo. No, they played that song.

I don't think so. Hold that for the Gowan talk. We're getting to that next. They did play Edgefest a few times. That's what I'm saying. That's not Edgefest. That was just CFNY. Is this alternative rock?

Remember, Edgefest start like in the 90s like it's just like it was a different thing back and we're gonna get to gowan in a minute which you totally blew we're gonna go hold on hold your fire hold your fire wait wait wait trivia do you know mike who starred in this video another can con superstar a female oh alana miles no i'll go quick because I know this is for good. Do you want to give me a clue? No. It's Michelle McAdory.

With dating Greg Keeler. That's right. Because they're in Crash Vegas together. That's right. Yeah, and daughter of Bob McAdory. Bob McAdory. Okay, so I got to confess. That's why.

Two things. This song pairs well with Angel Eyes. Oh, Jeff Healy. You're right. It's kind of the great CanCon jam. You're right. You're right. You're right. It's kind of the same song. Wow.

You're right. So two things. One is I dropped a fun fact on Jim Cuddy that was not a fact at all. And I feel I've been unable to sleep since it happened. And I just want to correct on the record. I'm having an awful time with it because my integrity is everything. And I get excited. And I tell him, he asked asked me why do I say pasta

not pasta and I tell him a story about a Dennis Weaver ad for Mother's Pizza. And he's kind of engaged and interested and then I said fun fact Dennis Weaver is Sigourney Weaver's dad. And he's like I didn't know that. I think he went on to tell his friends and family about it. He said 1236 had you kicked off the show.

And then left right and center I'm getting notes about like, no, that's not true. That's not true. That's not true. It's Pat. Even Steve Paikin. Earl Weaver's daughter.

Somebody, I think he has an email. But I got a note from Steve Paikin. Everyone is correcting me. This guy named Pat Weaver, who helped create the Tonight Show and the Today Show, is the actual father of Sigourney Weaver. I thought your fun fact was going to be Ernie Witt was an investor. Everyone knows that. That's why I love him. Do they?

Do they, Mike? I didn't know that. You know who knew that? Paul Burford, who's coming back. I got to go camp. And then he's coming back. It's interesting. His son, Broccoli, has been messaging me to promote that his dad is coming on the show. Okay, because he's coming on with a guy named Roger Christian. Who, ready for this?

Roger Christian directed Battlefield Earth. Holy SH. Whoa. Okay, I'll get a moment so that everybody just processes this. Is that with John Travolta? That is with John Travolta. It is a Scientology movie and it might be the worst movie ever made. The big line is stupid human.

I never saw it. It's a good line. But he's most famous, not for that, but for inventing the lightsaber and designing R2-D2. And he was the guy for Star Wars. He wrote The Wire.

He created The Wire. Shout out to Molly Johnson. Anyway, I'm all over the place here, but I wanted to correct that fact I dropped that's not true at all. So nobody tell that fact

at any dinner parties. It's not true. Sigourney Weaver and Dennis Weaver are not father-daughter. But then the other thing is, and I said this on the Steve Fall episode, but I think there's more. Jared Weaver. All right. Jeff and Jared. Who are they? The baseball players. Okay, okay, okay. I thought it was the subway guy.

Toe-haired bros. The one, quickly, quickly, is that Jim Cuddy says, hi, one quickly, quickly is that, uh, Jim Cuddy says, hi, we sit down, I set him up, I do a level check,

we record. No relation to Kid Cuddy. Different spelling. And then Jim is like answering with one word answers. Yes, guy. And just like,

there's not a lot of like, one word, he's not cranky, but he's not into it. And I'm like, oh, shit. Like,

I'm like, I biked all the way to the fucking woodshed. So you went to him. I went to him and it's all set up for like an hour thing, more or whatever. Anyway, I'm carrying the load. I'm telling him about how this episode came to be. I'm telling him Boguski played Diamond Mine in my backyard.

He's not really into it. No, that's another guy. Shout out to Mike Boguski. He's going to be at TMLXX. We're going to get to that in a minute. Oh, you play Diamond Mine? Long story, no, because that's a Greg jam. I was careful to only play Jim Jams because I knew there's another game. Shout out to Michael Gostki. He's going to be at TMLXX. We're going to get to that in a minute. Oh, you play Diamond Mine. Long story. No, because that's a Greg jam.

I was careful to only play Jim Jams because I knew there's that competitive. So I only played Jim Jams. I was very sensitive to that. But when I played a song from the Hi-Fis, he lit up just like a guy with dementia who hears a song he loved as a teenager and then his eyes come alive and he's back.

Fabulous analogy. So anyway, Jim was all mine. And that was like their band before Blue, like they were more New Wave band. That was, they went to New York. So they were high fives. They went to New York and then they came back. Is it worth listening to?

Yeah, it's very good. Okay. This episode I listened to. This was a get. Let's give it a moment here. From Nope. Where do we start with this? Cam, let's start with you.

Did you listen? I did listen, yeah. How was it? He just seems like such a nice guy, Lawrence Gowan. Larry, as Mike called him? But you can call him Larry. Mike did. Great stories. Seemed really call him Larry. Mike did. Great stories.

Seemed really pleased to talk about this stuff. Didn't give you grief for talking about strange animal and moonlight desires too much. He didn't say get off black cars. I like his background, too. He kind of dressed up a bit for it. Yeah, he had the jacket. Yeah, no, that was a great episode. Good guy, too. Now, no, that was a great episode. Good guy, too.

Now, Stu, let's turn to you. You have a bone to pick with me about my framing of a question. This song was in Nope, which you brought up. Which I haven't seen yet. Is it good? It's all right.

What was the... Moonlight Desires was in a Canadian film called Wolf Cop that you didn't bring up. Oh, I did. I talked about Schools Out. It's in Schools Out. a Canadian film called Wolf Cop that you didn't bring up. Oh, I did. I talked about Schools Out. It's in Schools Out. Were you involved with Wolf Cop? I wasn't involved with Jonathan Cherry, a former high school colleague.

But I didn't know. You had ample opportunity to submit questions. But not only was it Wolf Cop, they also did the score of the movie was Moonlight Desire, like a piano kind of screen. Wow, I interpreted that. Anyway, but when Mike was asking him about the CFNY thing, I don't know if he has the clip here, but it was like such a leading the witness.

He was like, now, listen, Larry, if I can call you Larry. Now, this guy, Stu, that we do this show with. Are you in a wise blood or in front of Mike? This guy, yeah. This guy, Stu, says that your song was played on CFNY, but it wasn't, right? Because your songs were never played on CFNY past 1990. I said, yeah, after 1990.

And then he never mentioned the song in question. I forgot the song in question, but Cam. But it was played on. He played along, but he also had no clue what you were talking about. Yeah, you led him in the direction of it never played. Yeah, but you just said a minute ago, and Cam,

have my back here, please. You just said a minute ago, Stu, that Blue Rodeo was played during the grunge era of Sam White. They did. No fucking way.

How would I have heard that song? Brother Bill. How would I have heard that song? Much music. I didn't watch that crap. I'm just kidding. The groceries,

CHFI. Everywhere. Tentist office. All the places. Come on. crap. I'm just kidding. The groceries. CHFI. Everywhere. Tentist office. All the places. Come on. Listen, I'm willing to admit that I could be wrong about Blue Rodeo, but I am not wrong about Gowling. Mark Weisbaum, we need a ruling here. I'm not wrong about Gowling. What was the song again? It hasn't hit me yet.

It's alright. It's a traveling wolverine. Even when you're old and gray. No, no, no, no, no. And CFNY didn't play that either. Oh, that's a Gowan song. Oh, Gowan. Why would that CFNY in the grunge era play that jam?

Give me one reason. The same reason when... It had nothing to do with their... It's because there was an era In Canadian music where Artists like Alanis Morissette She went from Alanis to Alanis Morissette And Morissette got played on stage one

And Gowan went from Gowan to Lawrence Gowan Case closed He went the other way He went to Candlelight and Other rainbow butt monkeys became Finger Eleven That's like if my name was Stone and all of a sudden I came out as Stuart Stone He went to Candlelight and... Oh, the Rainbow Buttmonkeys became Finger Eleven. That's like if my name was Stone and all of a sudden I came out as Stuart Stone.

He reinvented himself as Lawrence Gowan. Did he not reinvent himself as Lawrence Gowan? Yes or no? Yes. Did we not see him at Mel Ashton Square? We did. We called him G-Man. What does that have to do with anything? I'm saying that's how he ended up on C-1.

It was like, oh, this isn't Gowan. This is Lawrence Gowan. Get the fuck out of here. Yadda, yadda, yadda. This is Lawrence Gowan. You're nuts, man. Listen, Brother Bill, call me. Okay, so what you're saying, someone changes their name, gets more serious, automatically

unzips them. It's the opposite. YYZ Gord says, Stuart is correct. It was a leading question. No, it was a leading question, but the answer still remains the same. I will say, like... Not definitive, based on that. I know Robert Kennedy and you, sir.

You didn't get a straight answer from him. It was John F. Kennedy. Whatever, whatever. What is this? Just, what were you saying there? Keep saying, yeah. Too unlimited. Right.

I want to just let people know, it took me years to get the answer, but I now know... Late job at coming to the stage. I now know how Too Unlimited became the go-to music for arenas in this country. Oh, right. I got the true story from,

do you guys know the name Jimmy Holmstrom? Of course. Jimmy Holmstrom gave the reason. It's quite the story. A quality music rep and a tape he passed over to Jimmy. There's a story here. It unraveled on Toronto Mike the other

day. And quality was the Chris Shepard. They did all the Chris Shepard stuff too, I think. Not right. Let's go. Do you know where he's at? I don't know. Doing a fourth PhD. Do you guys have any thoughts we're about to get to jams by the way we're kicking out jams by cartoons and or puppets puppets where do you come

up with this idea like you never know and i've already got the next two months all figured out so it's gonna be a good time but any thoughts from either of you on the dismissal of lisa laflamme um i know it's more of a wise blood thing, but if you have a sentence you want to say on it. I'd say from my PR perspective, not well handled at all. The Omar announcement should have waited a little bit. Totally.

I agree 100%. I am curious. Mike, I want to get your thoughts on your new feud with Jesse Brown because I heard on the subway I was very excited to tell you and you already knew about it you had already tweeted about it somebody put it in DM to me Steve Leggett FOTM Steve Leggett let me know

I just woke up and I saw that I'm on Canada land so he said 22 minute mark 22 or 32 it was 35 so Steve you were off by 3 minutes shame on you get the time right 22 minute mark 22 or 32 it was like 35 it was 35 or something so Steve you were off by 3 minutes shame on you

get the time right yeah but I heard it and I was kind of excited because it's my voice and I'm talking to Jackie Delaney and it's on this

Canada Land but zero attributions in the podcast now if you go to the description which by the way I listen to a lot of podcasts every single day

I've never once actually read the description for a podcast I only listen I never read the description but in the description now it has. I only listen. I never read the description. But in the description now, it has a link to the Jackie D. I will say about this, it was badly handled. I was a little surprised how much coverage it got.

Not so much from like the Star Canadian Press, but like it was on Daily Hive. It was on Narcity. It was on like Six Buzz. It was on all like. Well, she's very famous. Yeah. And it's a national show.

Yeah. Like it's really. Like Derringer, which is a Toronto star story it's really struck a chord this story and uh you i'm sure you saw the news today you know the that guy with the who who signed off on her getting gray hair david cochran said probably the same person who signed off on me being bald which was a good line let's hear from stew stone on this uh topic. She seems like a very nice person. Her video that she put out made me definitely sympathize with her situation. But just to play devil's advocate here, I mean, in this day and age, how can you let somebody go?

It's like you've got to keep someone forever? It's like what if they want to change talent? You know, it's like isn't it up to the station? Maybe the ratings are down. Maybe there's something to it. It's just like, just because we like her and she's nice, my pet monster should still be on the air. It's not. I will say, like, what are you going to do?

Jesse Brown and Terry Hart, they both acknowledge, like, they don't know if she was given an opportunity to say goodbye. Like, I think everyone's assuming. Well, she might have been. Yeah, but she just said, like, fuck that, fuck you. She was given that opportunity. Gord Marno, by the way, star of Faking a Murderer. everyone's assuming. Well, she might have been. Yeah, but she goes there and said like, fuck that, fuck you. Like Gordon Martin always given that opportunity. Gordon Martin, by the way, star of Faking a Murderer. That's right.

Anyway, it's never easy. And he said, fuck you. Here comes Modern Family, I'm out. He had a very sharp take on this. I read it on LinkedIn of all places. Oh, really? Yeah. Shout out to Elvis.

Nobody wants to go when they've been in a job for that many years. And of course, listen, there probably is, there is a double standard for sure an ageism or whatever you want to call it i'm sure that's that that is not cool but just playing devil's advocate not that this is my opinion but if i'm in the station and maybe the ratings are maybe there's contributing factors i have to hold on forever it's like no but but

it was an award-winning number one television show in the country. When? Now. Like this year? Yeah. She just won like anchor of the year and then she got canned? Yeah, like June, I think. It's like top rated. Then I don't understand.

There's got to be some reason that they let her go. So she's critically acclaimed. Was she due for a promotion? It is the highest rated show in the country. No, she had two years left in her contract. So it smells. There's something more to the story that we don't know about. Maybe this person in charge is Michael Milner or whatever his name is.

Maybe he just didn't like this woman. Yeah, you never know. And maybe when this Wendy Freeman was let go in December, it became an opportunity for him to cast her away. Did you read the Toronto Star had a recap of their all-hands meeting today? Yeah, I know. I read the Twitter. Which almost seems like something that's happened to Twitter Inc.

many times. There was a half an hour. Somebody said, morale's at an all-time low. If we're supposed to care so much about mental health, how come we don't care about our employees' mental health? He didn't say anything. The Bell Let's Talk thing is tricky.

It's almost like they've worked themselves into a shoot to use wrestling parlance. Everything's going to be about mental health now. How long was she the anchor for? Since 2017? When did Lloyd Robertson go? 11? I thought it was like 10 years ago. Maybe I'm way off. Yeah, 11 maybe.

10 years at least. 11 years. Let me ask you. In the entertainment industry, which moves very fast and moves on from people very fast, for her to have a decade of the same job, that's a blessing. I hear you, buddy. Except that, again, she just won that anchor of the year. She shouldn't have been let go.

She is the highest rated show in the country. She shouldn't have been let go. I don't even watch this fucking show, but I know it's huge. But we are living in a world now where you can't even fire somebody. What's Cam eating over here? He's got a mouthful of Doritos or Sun Chip. I like Sun Chip. As somebody who's been fired before.

Well, anyone worth their salt has been fired. Because it means you stood up to management and had an opinion on something. She seems like very nice. Admittedly, I'm more of a MF when it comes to my newscasters. Oh, yeah, well, MF is the best. But I don't know how nice she is because I had an email interaction with her earlier this year.

No, no, no, nothing bad. But I had exchanges with her via email. She was like, fuck you. Coming on Toronto Mike and Humble and Fred. And then she decided she would come on Humble and Fred and she said no to Toronto Mike. So how nice can she be? Does she have a relationship with those guys?

I was kind of surprised to see she would do that. I think she listened to them. I think she listened to them in the 90s. She also knows that Mike's a trash human. So she probably stayed away for that reason no never too by the way mike i i like your angle where you're like i i i don't care i don't want to get mixed up with this but you you did tweet it to jesse brown oh so i forgot we didn't complete that so i don't have a beef of jesse brown but i did tweet about it after I heard it because it was nice to be on Canada Land,

but I think he could have said, that's from Toronto Mike episode, whatever. If I have an excerpt from Canada Land, 100% of the time, I'm going to say, that's Canada Land. That's totally fair. From this day or whatever. It was a bit jarring having listened

to so many hours of your show. Why wouldn't he mention Toronto Mike when he's playing a clip? Which, by the way, that was a month before the Jennifer Valentine video. One whole month before that Jennifer Valentine video was that clip he played. Seems to be the summer of grievances for people who were let go from long-time employment. Men and women. Especially in the Canadian media landscape, and maybe it's a cost-cutting measure?

Do they still have to pay her out the two years? Two more years. They have to pay that out? Is that how it works? Well, look, she got the news June 29 that her services were no longer required. She only announced it a couple of days ago. That's a long time to be negotiating that exit severance

or whatever we call that. Is Terry Hartson FOTM. Yeah. She seems cool. Terry is the reason I produce the feminine warriors as I see them because there are pictures

right there. Hopefully she'll decide to come on the show and tell us, spill the tea for us. Yeah. But shout out to her. No, no.

I'm going back to Lisa. To Lisa. Okay, yeah. Lisa's always welcome on Toronto Mic'd. I'd love to talk to her. But I found out her husband's with, what's the name of that PR firm?

With Navigator. Michael Cook, the former Toronto star. I suspect they have a plan that does not include my basement. What's Arsenault? What's the girl's name? Adrienne Arsenault. I'm more of an Adrienne Arsenault type.

I'm with you, man. I'm with you. But there is a new streaming service coming from CBC and it would be interesting if they hired Lisa Laflamme to be the face of the new uh hopefully it goes uh better than when christopher chris wallace not to be confused with the chris wallace on my t-shirt another one uh the news guy went from fox news to cnn yeah and then they shut it down or like a quibi type deal

shout out to quibi here okay so we going to kick out our favorite songs from cartoon characters and puppets. But first, I want to make a big announcement with you two because you're key to this. Can I make an announcement first before that? First, Stu Stone has a big fucking announcement to make. Go ahead, Stu. Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Wait, wait, wait. Oh, whoa. August 19th. That's a Friday. I'm ready. Tomorrow. August 19th. Cambrio.

Cambrio. Is already very excited. But'm ready. Tomorrow. August 19th. Cambrio. Cambrio. Is already very excited. But for those of you who remember last summer, there was like a little stew-cumentary that was on my early music career. So chapter two that Cable Guy Jeff has put out, which chronicles my Jamie Kennedy time spent, is coming tomorrow. I haven't seen the final cut.

I don't know how good or bad it's going to be. I could be embarrassed by what footage is in there. I don't even know. But I will be very curious to watch it with everybody. Is Widener in this one? No. But that's what I wanted to say. You can watch it on

I'll post the link. People should be following Stu on social media to get all these great, great, great links. I just popped into the live chat here, so some people said there were some issues with the stream, but Ian's service is not on the stream to be blamed for this. If you're watching us live right now, press one. Is Trudy there?

Press one in the chat room so we know that you can hear us. Where's Cam going? He's leaving. Okay, good. I'm going to set this up. TMLXX is happening. He doesn't want to see in the chat room so we know that you can hear us. Where's Cam going? He's leaving. Okay, good. I'm going to set this up. TMLXX is happening. He doesn't want to see in the bathroom. He's a classy guy. He's a classy guy.

Everybody poos. Everybody pees. Leslie's here. Leslie is a great cyclist from the east end of the city. Moose is here. VP of sales is here. VP of sales. I had coffee with him this morning.

Wait, where's the stuffed animal? Andy's here for now. Jarvis, if you're listening, can you get the stuffy? Can you please get the toast stuffy and bring it downstairs? Jarvis, if you're listening, this is very, very important. Daddy needs the stuffy. Need a cuddle. YYZ Gord is here. Tobias Vaughn is here.

Lindsey Tritt is even here. Who? Friend of mine. Okay. You know, that great Tobias Vaughn, I actually delivered eight tracks to him yesterday. Oh, is that what you... I found them in a garbage in April.

Okay. And yesterday I biked them to Tobias Vaughn's. What else was still hired back then? Johnny Cash, Folsom Prison. Whoa. And there was some... I'm trying to remember who else was on there. So REO Speedwagon?

No, I can't stop this feeling anymore. But okay, so TMLXX. This is the last episode of Toast before TMLXX. September 1st. Everyone listening, if you listen to Toast and you're in the GTA, you have to come to TMLXX, the 10th Toronto Mic Listener Experience. 6 to 9 p.m. on September 1st. That's a Thursday at Great Lakes Brewery in Southern Etobicoke. That's 30

Queen Elizabeth Boulevard, down the street from the Costco. What's with you and your 6 p.m. starting time? It's difficult to get there. Okay, then come at 7. Here's what I need you for. I don't want to piss off your mom, so I'll be there at 6. She deserves that. I should get my mom to come, like all the moms. But you know, in her defense, she

thought she was talking to Cam's mom. I got the whole story. Trudy is going to probably be there. she thought she was talking to Cam's mom. Well Trudy is going to probably be there. She's going to be doing meet and greets. Trudy better be there. She will. Sorry Trudy thought that was my mom? No. My mother. Yeah I thought Trudy was my mom. Mother Mary thought Trudy was your mom. And my mom made a

comment because remember we did a shtick where we said Stu was late because he's always late but it was fake. We faked it. Like where's we were doing? Where's Stu? I can't believe he's not here for this big event, the final Pandemic Friday. And my mom bit,

like she bit on this. She's like, you know, she doesn't know what works and she's like, he better fucking show up. Oh, he's, how can he be late or something? It's such a mark.

And then Trudy, who's your mother, but my mom thought was Cam's mother, said something like, oh, he's always late or something like that. And my mom, I don't think she was too harsh, but she might mother said something like oh he's always late or something like that and my mom i don't think she was too harsh but she might have said something like respectful that's what she something she said that's disrespectful that she would not have said if she knew she was talking

to stew's mom okay so she thought her and cam's mom were commiserating over how does your mom does your mom listen to your podcast uh once in a while like jim cuddy she listened to you know my i was at my parents' house yesterday. You know, my mom's not the most tech savvy. She said, like me and my sister was there. We were talking about like VPNs.

And my mom said, you know, I got VPNs on my text. And Lindsay, my sister's like, what are you talking about? Like spam? Well,

I think she's referring to like spam phone calls where like there's a VPN, but like she's like holding her phone. I thought you were going to say your mom's an FOTM now. I got two VPNs today. I'm excited though for TMLXX. Is there going to be an after party? Yeah, we're in like the one year anniversary. Okay, so there's a lot of stuff here.

Basically, come out. There's going to be great live music. Great. We're going to be fed by Palma Pasta. Who's playing? Shout out to Palma Pasta. Blair Packham can't wait. It looks like Tom Wilson from Junk House.

It looks like Danny Graves from The Watchmen. It's going to be huge. But there's also going to be something very special for any FOTM who wants to participate. It's a mind blow challenge. Jeff Woods. You go on the mic. We'll have a mic. You go on the mic and you deliver

a mind blow. And there'll be three judges to determine at the end of this contest, which will be around seven o'clock, this contest, who had the best mind blow that we didn't know. And there'll be a prize for this person. I have can of cabana and sticker you

and they're all going to come up with a good prize or whatever. One joint for... Well, that's for the after party because I told Great Lakes we won't smoke weed because they take... Well, Canada Kev's not coming.

Well, after the... So six to nine on the property of Great Lakes, they have... They're very... They don't want to get in trouble. I don't want to get them in trouble. No smoking allowed, okay?

Oh. You can take... Oh, let's just slip an edible or two, okay? No smoking allowed. But in the after party in the park, go nuts. What's the park again? Actually, we should discuss.

Queensway and... Okay, well, you know, come to TMLX and we'll tell you how to get there. So Cam and I are going to be judging. So you guys, I want to be a judge too. Can I be a judge? Yeah.

Okay, so the three of us will be the judges. So we're the celebrity judges for the Mind Blow competition. So bring your best Mind Blow that is not a Mind Blow that you've heard on Toronto Mic'd. So don't come with this awesome Mind Blow that Sigourney Weaver is the daughter of Dennis fucking Weaver. Come with a Mind Blow, which is not true, by the way. It has to be factual.

It's got to be true. And it's got to be a good mind blow. You know what we like. You know us. You're an FOTM. And it's got to be one that we haven't repeated a hundred times on this program. And then we'll have a winner.

The grand prize of the inaugural mind blow competition. The mind blow off. Is everybody excited? Yeah. So tell Trudy, come with a mind blow. Sure. I'm excited. Can I tell you a mind blow I learned. Is everybody excited? Yeah. So tell Trudy, come with a mind blow. Sure. I'm excited. Can I tell you a mind blow I learned on a different podcast? Yeah. In

1994, remember Sloan like fake broke up after twice removed? Yeah. Their last show was going to be that edge fest. Yeah. Patrick Pentland said he was asked to join the Doughboys after that. Okay. And he wanted to do it, but then Sloan got

back together and the rest is history. Jay Ferguson said they were done. Like, that was the last show, and then they did get back together. Well, I think it was to get out of their contract, but imagine he went to the Doughboys and wasn't in Sloan. Like, the course of CanCon history would be pretty different if that

happened. Absolutely. So that's a mind blow. That's a good mind blow. If you care about this stuff, that's a good mind blow. No, that's a good mind blow, but that's a good example. This was on the Sloan cast. I don't know if you ever listened to that. No, but I've heard of it. I like the spirit of the Sloan cast.

Okay, so we got to get to these jams because I said two hours, right? Okay. So here's how we'll introduce the topic. You ready? Yeah. Is this Jim? Is it really? That's sick. This is like a cool version of it. You know when I grew up in a family

of gem girls, you know, my sister was actually in the gem commercial so we had like... Whoa. Wait, wait, wait. You're burying the lead.

My sister Carrie, my older sister... Save that for the Mind Blows contest. She was in the Gem commercials. Really? Yeah. The doll was like a Barbie doll. You flip a switch on the back and her earrings blink.

Sure. That was one of those kind of gimmicks. You would have won the contest with that. But they have... There's obviously... Is there anything this guy can't do? Everyone knows Gem is truly outrageous, truly, truly outrageous. True.

Do you remember when they changed the song for Gem? And it was, me and my friends are Gem girls. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. I just remember... It's a bit more, sort of, less edgy. They actually did a Jem movie that tanked. Here's what I remember.

Here's what I remember. No, I don't remember that. But here's what I remember. We are the misfits. Our songs are better. We are the misfits. And we're gonna get her. Did you get confused later

when you got older and learned about music and, like, you know, Danzig and the misfits? And're gonna get her like did you get confused later when you got older and learned about music and like you know danzig and the misfits and you're thinking like i thought this was like a cartoon band yeah so okay so right yeah it's all very confusing but let's say i could have kicked that out should we do some gem trivia real quick yeah but let me just say that that's a song called the uh that's called truly outrageous by gem and the holograms so that's a song that's a song. They would qualify because they're kind of like puppets, right? Who, Jeb? No, these fuckers right here.

Hold on. Don't, please don't. I'm going to play it while you do that. Heroes in our shell, coming out of our shell. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But this would have qualified. These are like costume characters. My question is this. Maybe there's like a copyright here, but you know how like in cartoons,

like secret, and in shows, secret identities were a big thing? Obviously, dating back to... Like Hannah Montana? Well, no. Or like Snarf? I'm saying prior to Superman, Clark Kent, and all that stuff. I'm talking about my secret. And I'm not talking about the show My Secret Identity, which is a...

Jerry O'Connell. Was played by the guy who was dating Andrea from SCTV. Zuckerman. But how Prince Adam was He-Man, right? Right! And he looked like He-Man. They didn't have any difference. So Jem, when she wasn't Jem, she had a different name, didn't she?

Andrea Martin. It was Rhea or something. Andre the Giant. The Giant Machine. She had some computer that talked to her. She had a boyfriend with blue hair. Sorry, this is Jem? Yes.

Truly outrageous. Sorry, you just had this cute... It's always here for toes. Enough. Okay. I like this song, but I don't need to hear it. Then Barbie came out with Barbie and the Rockers to try to compete with Jem. Barbie and the Rockers to try to compete with Jimmy.

Barbie and the Rockers, right. That was a complete dud. Now I know just how Tamara felt when I treated her the exact same way. I'm a bastard. Don't be so hard on yourself, Simon. Come on, let me buy you a milkshake. Oh, this.

One of these guys went to Thornley. It's on Wikipedia. So these are not our jams. I'm going to get into our jams right now. But this would be a great choice. You could kick out this Prozac jam. So no one picked Prozac. I was disappointed neither of you picked Prozac.

The original NFTs. Non-fungible something. Tokens. Sucks to be you. They had a lot of hits. Probably six singles. I only remember two. Bad Disease and this one.

Yeah. Name another one. I don't know. Okay, so we're going to kick out the champs here. Aqua. I want to thank Canna Cabana for their support. Again, I'm talking to Andy Palalas. He's going to be at TMLXX.

He's going to be there. Stu, he wants another episode with you in the backyard. He fucking loves you. Really? Yeah, like seriously.

Sure. So, Canada Kev, if you're listening, the bat phone's going to be ringing because you're the man. So, Canada Cabana,

great supporters. Go to CanadaCabana.com. Great Lakes is going to give everybody a free drink at TMLXX. Palma Pasta's feeding everybody. You know, Wilner will be there if there's free pasta. Is there a Jays game that night? Free coffin rides from Ridley. And shout out to

Ridley Funeral Home. And there's a new sponsor, and I'll be giving more details about them in the weeks to come. Or hearse rides. Yeah, I'm re-watching Six Feet Under. Paul Bearer. Free embalming service. Oh, yes. So, EPRA, the Electronics Products Recycling Association, is going to help us recycle our electronics safely and properly.

That's a new sponsor, right? Brand new sponsor. Congrats. People are really not happy with your stream right now. It's not me. I just did a speed test, and the internet's good. It's not, though. Okay, well, hold on. I'll do a speed test and the internet's good. It's not though. Okay, well hold on. I'll do a quick speed test here.

What is that? Can I even test? You have no way to troubleshoot if you fail the test. Yeah, see, I'm flying here. I'm just saying. Maybe reboot the room. My internet that's running it is fucking flying. Do you want to reboot the room maybe? Is that something you can do? Cam, you can see it.

Do you want to give a VPN? That's an upload speed. Tell everybody that upload speed. Can you reboot the room? We got 390. We got 401. We got 406. We got 411. That's upload speeds.

I'm fucking flying here. I'll tell you what I'll do. I care about the fans. Okay, so we're going to get to our jams. I'm going to unplug the... I'm going to do what Stu's asking.

I'm going to unplug the live stream and I'm going to come back. So the live stream is going to disappear for a moment and then we'll be back. Thank you everybody for... Oh, they're gone. Yeah. If you're listening to the podcast, we're talking about you right now.

So I'm going to... Let's wait to start until it's back. What am I waiting for? You want me to count to 10? I'm going to start it now. Sucks to be you. I know, I know. Sucks to be you.

Hey, hey, sucks to be you. Circle, circle, dot, dot Hey, hey, sex to be you. Circle, circle, dot, dot. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Okay, so I now see the live stream has ended, and then once this live stream's back, we're going to fly away. Do you know these guys?

Prozac? Because they were like, what, philosopher kings, and one of them went to Thornley. The philosopher king guy, Jarvis Church. Who does it? He's an FOTM. He pulled one of those Naomi Parnas. So I'm going to mute.

I'm going to unmute the live stream. You should hear ourselves back. Okay, so I now see the live stream. Whoa. The stream has ended. And then once this live stream. Whoa. Yeah, see? Whoa. The stream has ended, and then once this live stream's back... Yeah, it's still like... We're going to fly away from these guys. This is like...

Okay, so wait. This is so meta. This is so meta. So now, why are we still here? Philosopher Kings, and one of them went to... This is so meta. The philosopher... Where is he in service?

Somebody get him in service on the line. Can you call him? Because we shouldn't hear ourselves now because I ended it. Because this is behind. I don't know. So I'm going to mute. I'm going to unmute the live stream. So we'll just hear ourselves back.

Can you mute that, Mike? Yeah, I can always mute it. All right. I apologize. Can you guys hear us? We're going to record the episode because what am I supposed to do can they hear us they can hear us

so I apologize if it's a little weird I have fast internet right now I just tested it seems to be working now actually let's record then we have an episode here we got a two hour limit so the first jam belongs to Cam

we're back and we're cooking with gas cam yes set up your first jam brother um well i thought this would be a good place to start because this is this is a bullseye because this is both a cartoon and a puppet if you could believe it i do believe it yeah let's hear it I do believe it. Yeah. Let's hear it. Those girls. Those Mel Mac girls.

Oh. They're out of this world. Those Mel Mac girls. You're right. All these songs are for sure. They're out of this world. Of all the girls from the galaxy, there's only one kind of girl. This is one of the greatest songs in the history of... This is better than Prozac? Are you fucking kidding me?

This is better than Gem in the Holograms? Oh, boy, are we picking the best songs by Curtains? Your favorite. I did like it at the time. right talk to us of course this is alien life alien life form oh yeah it also knows gordon shumway i nay gordon shumway with the song mel mac girls did you guys have the mel mac girls flexi disc no did you do you know this this seems like something you would have did you ever sell this at like a card show? No.

Flea market? I watched all that. Anybody in the chat room? I watched, Al. By the way, you're welcome. Your stream is fixed. Thanks to me. Moose Grumpy says, seems better. Seems better pick. I just want Moose Grumpy to be happy.

Okay. You'd get this at Burger King. It was like a happy meal. I was busy at Pizza Hut getting my out of their shelves. Anyway, this was a flexi disc six inch where you put like the pennies on it. It was kind of wobbly. It was cardboard. Did you ever have any of this?

But how did you play it? On a record player? Like a typical record player. Wow. But they would have these. Not a Fisher Price one. Yeah, but they have these like pop out in magazines or in the back of cereal boxes. Wow. That's why it sounds like shit. Yeah, but they have these like pop out in magazines or in the back of cereal boxes. Wow, that's why it sounds like shit.

Yeah. Even better, on the back of the FlexiDick was a $3 off voucher for an ALF stuffed animal. They were popular. So there's that. They were popular. Not as popular as the toast stuffies

that Moose Grumpy bought us, but pretty popular. And I guess Jarvis went to bed because he never brought down that stuffy. I can run up during the jam. I was going to say, here's a trivia question for you. Do you guys,

do you remember like the plot of ALF? Why even came to Earth? Because Melmac exploded. Do you remember why Melmac exploded? Ran out of cats. I can't, I don't know. Good guess, good guess. Something to do with cats.

No, they allegedly all plugged their hair dryers in at the same time. Oh my God. Okay, okay. There's an elf. Okay, there is a plot line in an episode of Elf where I feel like Elf lost his memory because his hair dryer fell in the bathtub and electrocuted him.

A lot of hair dryer things. They actually got complaints that this can kill you, plugging things in and it drops. There's an opening of A Six Feet Under where the lady's radio falls in and she dies. It's very dangerous. Was it in the movie Groundhog Day? He tried to kill himself by plugging the radio in?

Maybe, but they re-edited it so that he lost his memories some other way like he hit his head in the shower. Anyway just to tie a bow on this. So this was from

Alf the Animated Series not Alf the Cartoon. Really? What was the animated series called? I think it was called Alf the Animated

Series. Was it called Alf Tales? Or Alf Tales. Okay Stu did you ever do a voice for that? Well let's find out shall we? Are you in the I bet you Stu did a voice for Alf Tales. Did you Stu, did you ever do a voice for that? Well, let's find out, shall we?

I bet you Stu did a voice for Alf Tales. Did you cross paths with Max Wright? He kind of talked like this. Come here, Alf. What are you doing? Oh my god. Stu Stone, is he in fucking... Are you fucking kidding me?

He was in Alf fucking Tales, Stu Stone. And you didn't know that, right, Ken? It's right on IMDB. I'm feeling like weak. Who did you play? Who did you play? Various Voices, it says. Okay.

I don't remember, but. Unbelievable. Oh, my God. It sounded familiar to me. Are you fucking kidding me? Because the song was like. Another mind blow to win the car. Did you sing on?

Are you on the track? Are you rapping on the B side? I don't think so. Okay. I don't think so. Ladies. I don't think so. Ladies and gentlemen. Okay, that's a mind blow. That's a mind blow.

There were some kids at school that had like elf dolls. Yeah, they were popular. Like, you know, full stuffies of elf. Yeah, they were very popular. You could like pull the string and it's like, Willie! Mrs. Alkmonik! Mrs. Alkmonik was Julie Seinfeld's mother.

Yeah, that's right. On Seinfeld. And dated back in real life that actress Sheridan? Something Sheridan. Liz Sheridan. Liz Sheridan. Thank you.

Dated. Danny Thomas. Are you ready for this? Are you fucking sitting down? Willie. James fucking Dean. Whoa. Before you get up

for that final snack, I want you to know I'll be right back. Okay. Wow. I have to kick out my jam. Any more fun facts about Al? You know who could probably

do a good Alph impression? Mark Weisblatt. I bet you he could. Mark, if you're there in the live chat, let us know if you could do a good Alph impression. Really?

Mark's refusing to go to TMLX. Lucky. Lucky. Come here, Lucky. But he will appear at the after party, which is, I think, interesting. Is he coming Lucky. But he will appear at the after party. Which is, I think, interesting. Is he coming?

He says he's coming to the after party. So he could go for a little walk or what? Yeah, he goes to events and then leaves them. That becomes funnier and funnier every time I think about it. How could he have an opinion on my movie if he didn't even watch it? Right. That's unbelievable. The best part is I gave him the

ticket for entrance and then he exited right away. I would gave him... The best part is I gave him the ticket for entrance and then he exited right away. Okay, shout out to... I would say at the Dave Bookman plaque unveiling too, he was off to the side. Who was he hanging with? Who was he chatting with? Cam with that selection,

making it easier for me to win this one. Anyway, Melmac Girls by Alf the Animated. Okay, good choice. We're off to a roaring start. Alf is both a cartoon and a puppet there you go

even though it's not really a puppet because there's a guy inside that thing it was both did you ever see the racist elf

thing no oh my god is he racist it's terrible like Roger Waters on on YouTube you can look this

up racist elf there's like outtakes from like the sitcom where like the guy who's doing the voice is like he's not dropping

n words oh yes he is oh my, yes, he is. Oh, my goodness. Oh, yes, he is. Oh, my goodness. He's making very colorful humor. I'm taking that stuffy away from my... Alf's canceled.

Okay. Here's my first jam by a cartoon character and or a puppet. Okay. I think Cam still wins so far. Thank you. Go fuck yourself.

Whoa. We have a lot of hits. There's people that love these guys. They're good. So when you see them live in concert, is it just like a screen? Yeah. And they don't come out?

No, I think they're behind the screen playing. I think you just see cartoons on the screen. But I haven't seen them. I think they like mix it up every tour. They did one with like the guys from The Clash. De La Soul. Yeah, and De La Soul came out. Blur.

Sean Ryder. So this is Feel Good Inc. I didn't know which to go with. What's their other song? Clint Eastwood. Oh, yeah. I didn't know which to go with What's their other song? Clint Eastwood Oh yeah I ain't happy I'm feeling good

And that one I hear a lot Because it's in Trolls So it used to be One of my sons Could have been an animated song That you liked Yes Absolutely

But this is already an animated It's like Inception The Gorillas with the Z This is the guy from Blur, right? Well, okay. Well, that's it. This will be a fun fact that everybody knows, but Damon Albarn...

That's who's singing? ...is the singer. Yeah. He is in a band... Well, save it for the mind blow, because, you know, somebody might not know. Nobody knows who this is. The artist is a guy named Jamie Hewlett.

Right. And you want to know the names of these guys? There's 2D. There's Murdoch. That's their character name? Yeah. Nick Howell. There's Noodle.

He's on guitar and keyboards. There's Russell Hobbs, who's on drums. And yeah, they're in a whole bunch of different multimedia. They're like Howard Stern. It's like music videos, interviews, comic strips, cartoons. CD-ROM. They collaborate with a bunch of different artists like you hear here. But Al Barne is the only permanent musical contributor.

Who's this rapping? Is this... This isn't De La Soul, is it? I think it is. is this this isn't De La Soul is it I think it is

I feel like this might be Del the Funky Homo Sapien well actually or was that the other song actually

if you need to know by the way another good song by these guys I just want to shout out quickly is Dare

Dare is a really good jam. That's the one with Sean Ryder. His brother just passed away and you guys covered it. So Dilla Soul is in this jam. That's absolutely correct. Very good.

Good jam, right? I think it's a good song. Yeah, that's alright. Let's know fucking Elf, but it's pretty good. It Okay. That's all right. So, it's no fucking L, but it's pretty good. It's Melmac, girl. Ha! Is this your mind blow? What? It's more of a bonus jam

than a mind blow because I don't think anyone listening to Toronto Mike is learning this for the first time. But, you know, maybe, maybe Chudi doesn't know.

This is a better song than any of the Gorilla songs. This is a great jam. If you want my opinion. I think Blur is better than Gorillaz. Are they better than Oasis? Blur and Oasis. Personally, I find myself

turning to Oasis more often than Blur. This is like a regular when I'm on my DJ sets and I shout out Martin Streak. I feel like he would have played this. Yeah, totally. Marty. I am going, yeah, for sure. Big jam, big fucking jam.

So there's some blur. This would go right into Gowan and then Blue Rodeo. Stuart Stone. Yes. What would you like to say before I kick out your first jam by a cartoon character or and a Muppet? Oh, no, not a Muppet. I shouldn't say that.

I slipped. Puppet. Puppet. No. Well, the song. Well, Muppet is a name brand of a puppet, but a puppet is the umbrella term. Interestingly enough, the person,

the entity that sings this song is a multi-talented amphibious creature. A newscaster. Yeah. A closet romantic. Mm-hmm. A hell of a tap dancer, song and dance guy. Mm-hmm. A comedian.

Big deal. Definitely could interview kids about alphabets and numbers. Big deal. Definitely could like interview kids about alphabets and numbers. But ironically, the show that he was sort of introduced to us on, that I think he was introduced to us on, he was never actually on the street. Do you know what I'm saying?

Fun fact here. Possible mind blow. But he was never actually physically on the street. I'm with you. Yeah, he was doing Newsflash. He was just like interstitially famous. But he wasn't like on the street. Well, he he didn't live there like i have no memory of him ever hearing so big bird and oscar lived there this guy we're gonna kick out this jam in a minute he didn't live there you're right like the less he was the newscaster lisa laflame is that how i

pronounce that lisa laflame he was like a Lisa Laflamme of news. He's right. Would he interact with like Grover and stuff? Sometimes. Oh, yes. Super Grover. But Grover didn't live there either. No, Super Grover he was reporting. Grover did show up on the street for visits.

Did he? Yes. Who talked to Jojo? Jojo Chinto? Oh, that was Cookie Monster. That was Cookie Monster. Jojo was awesome. Did you know that people can see Snuffleupagus now?

Yeah, I hope so. That was a big thing for me as a kid. Anyway, this is a beautiful song that if you listen to it, it probably has deeper meanings than just a lovable frog sitting on a log playing the banjo. It may

have to do with who knows. First Muppet movie is awesome. Great movie. What a gem. Why are there so many songs about rainbows? And what's on the other side? other side Rainbows are visions

but only illusions and rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong. Wait and see. Someday we'll find it. The rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers, and me. You know what's really shocking about this rendition of the song, unlike Cam's ALF selection? This song charted at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Wow. Number 18 on the Adult Contemporary chart. What a surprise. Of course, we're listening to the Rainbow Connection, a song from the ageless 1979 film The Muppet Movie, which was enjoyed well into the late mid to late 80s by kids our age. Totally. I bet it would hold up today if you watch it. Interestingly enough, the song and lyrics

were written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Asher, who were the music, song and dance guys responsible for the music and lyrics behind the film A Star Is Born. Whoa. They were brought in. Like the original? Yeah, the original. Holy whoa so they were uh brought in like the original yeah the original holy shit so they were brought in to uh to collaborate with jim henson who's obviously

singing this song uh and uh here's the funny here's the funniest anecdote for you uh what is a rainbow connection how did they come up with rainbow connection well they started writing about rainbows and all this sort of as a metaphor for, you know, after the rain comes the rainbow. And they were talking to the wife of one of them, and they were like, we're looking for some sort of rainbow connection. And she was like, wait, say that again. And that's how they came up with it. Isn't that funny? I like that.

Their motivation or inspiration was When You Wish Upon a Star from the Pinocchio movie. Of course. That's Jiminy Cricket. For my Italian friends out there. This song has been covered so many times. I'm going to shout out. You tell me. Just say yes if you've ever heard of the artist or their version.

I'm ready. Judy Collins. Hell yeah. You know who that is? So, of course. Big story about Judy Collins in the Kevin Shea episode from a few weeks ago. Both sites now. Where she butchered the Canada at the ACC with Kendride.

And I'm very excited to have her. Mary O. It's a big story. In 1980 alone, there were four covers of this. Judy Collins, Mary O'Hara, the Brothers Casmero, and the Carpenters. Oh, okay. When did she pass? She's gone by then.

She's like 83 or something, I think. In 1981, Leah Salong. Do you know who that is? No. 1994, Kenny Loggins. Kenny Loggins? That's your boy. Less than Jake. Oh, wow.

1999, Cam's favorite, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Okay, another warped tour. 2001, Ryan Shoup and the Rubber Band. Nope. 2001, Willie Nelson. 2002, Sarah McLaughlin. Wait, wait, wait, back it up. Willie Nelson covered this on the Muppet Show, did he not?

Yeah, but then he recorded it for his album, Rainbow Connection. Shout out to Kana Cabana. Okay. Sarah McLaughlin, 2002. Wow recorded it for his album, Rainbow Connection. Shout out to Kana Cabana. Sarah McLachlan, 2002. Peter Kinkati, 2003. Jason Mraz, 2004. He was a big deal. The Chicks in 2004.

Johnny Mathis, 2005. Is he alive? Jane Manheit. I think so. Jane Mansfield. It doesn't say that. She's long gone. Trespassers William, 2002. You know who her daughter is, Jane Mansfield. It doesn't say that. No. She's long gone. Trespassers William, 2010.

You know who her daughter is, Jane Mansfield? Weezer, 2011. The girl from Special Victims Unit, the woman who stars in Law and Order Special Victims Unit. Weezer. I'm not surprised Weezer covered this. I'm so done with Weezer. Yeah, me too.

I like their shit. You know what? All those shitty Toto covers, I'm done. Jim Brickman, Andrew Horowitz, Yale, something or other. Gwen Stefani, 2015. Wow. Enough. Jim Brickman, Andrew Horowitz, Yill, something or other, Gwen Stefani 2015. Wow. Let's skip some of these. Lisa Loeb. Who said Lisa Loeb? Casey Musgraves.

I only hear what I want to. A gentleman named Farras. Do you know who directed the video for And You Say? I talk slow all the time. Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller? Good guess, no. Who? Ethan Hawke.

Really? But here's the mind blow. Wow. The most recent artist to cover Rainbow Connection. Stu Stone. In 2021. I've worked to do here. In 2021.

Okay. Let's see if you can name this artist. The most recent cover of Rainbow Connection. One goes out. Why are there so many songs about rainbows? Leona Boyd. It doesn't sound like the artist that it is. Rainbows are famous. Wow.

Did you know it was a duet? I didn't realize there was a post. Did you listen to it before you sent it? A post, how do you say it? Post-humanist? Post- realize there was a post... Did you listen to it before you sent it? A post... How do you say it? Post-human? Post-human. No, he's still around.

They changed his voice. That's... No, but that's Jim Henson. No, that's the new Kermit. I think it's the new Kermit. Are you sure? Well, we're going to hear him again in a minute. Are you sure this is from 2021?

Yeah. Okay, when Kermit comes back, I'll turn it up and focus on his. I don't think that's Jim Henson. Jim Henson was a little hot. Is the female voice someone contemporary or an older artist? No, older. Stu loves her.

She's fabulous. It's like Bette Midler's. Close. Very close. Very close. Very close. You're almost there. You're in the right synagogue. We already talked about a star. Janice Ian. We already talked about a star. Oh, Babs Midler? Close. Very close. Very close. Share. Very close. You're almost there. You're in the right synagogue.

We already talked about a Star of Bowie. Oh, Babs. Yes. Really? Barbara Streisand. Wow. Mind blown. There you go, folks.

Barbara Streisand. You can pick that up at your local Costco. Is that like auto-tune? Yeah, it sounds weird. She has like auto-tune on. She doesn't need it. Can I just let you know that on Pandemic Fridays, do you remember

Pandemic Fridays? Of course. I kicked out this jam and you guys shit all over me. The topic was celebrity jams. Patrick Swayze she likes to win. Eddie Murphy party all the time. Kermit the Frog is not a celebrity. That's so fucked. That's such

bullshit. I'm mad all over again. It's a celebrity character. No, it's not. How can you say Kermit the Frog? The celebrity is Jim Henson, not Kermit the Frog. No, Kermit the Frog is a celebrity. So Mickey Mouse is a celebrity. Yes.

Okay. Cam, come on. Come on. It's a bulletproof vest. I see where you're coming from. It's just in the spectrum of songs that could actually fit the category. This is a different argument that you guys thinking like Mel Mac girls sucks. Regardless of if you think it's a good song, it does fit the category like a glove.

Shout out to OJ. There you go. I kicked out Rainbow Connection because I love this song. It's a great song. I'm glad you're kicking it out, buddy. Thanks, man. And he's a fucking puppet. And a celebrity puppet.

And this mind blow. I still find her boring, but I'm glad you like Babs. Okay. I think it's my birthright to like Babs. She'd be like mid-80s now? No. I don't think she's in her 80s. You're thinking of Barbara Walters.

Barbara Wal-Wa. How old is Barb? I'll just write how old is Babs. I wonder if that just is like enough. How old is John Stossel? Babs. Oh, no, that's Babs Thorne. Well, how old is Streisand effect?

Barbara Streisand is actually 80 years old this year. There you go. She looks really good for 80. She sounds good too. Look at that. That's an 80 year old woman. Hubba hubba. Thankfully she never got

that rhinoplasty. Cam, set us up for your second jam, brother. I'll just say this one's by a puppet and this one's very short. It has a bit of a spoken word element to it,

which is fun. And actually, can I say one other thing I was I had a barbecue I had some friends over on Sunday night I didn't get invited this this was this is we have a small backyard but I would they were just saying what's what has the podcast going on like

what's great we're doing cartoon jams by or your jams like puppets and cartoons and this guy Jack who's dating Ali who I used to work with at Twitter said oh are you going to choose this song I'm like we didn't get an invite oh my god that's bullshit Jack and fucking Ali are in your back yard having

a barbecue anyway anyway point being Jack called this and not Jack Dorsey to be to be clear why do you think your mommy or daddy are always telling you don't put that in your mouth? Let's find out. Why are we on television anyway? We're here to tell a little story about why you shouldn't

put things into your mouth when you don't know what they are. And why you should never take anything a stranger tries to give you. Why not? Because if you ate somebody else's medicine, some bad food, or some poison, you could get very sick. It's fun to play in exciting places.

I don't want to be sick. And that's why before you eat anything, you should always ask someone you love if it's okay. Okay, I love you. Can I eat the guitar? No, but you can help me sing a song about eating things that don't belong inside you. Okay. I wasn't really hungry anyway. Well, wait, maybe a little bit.

Okay, everybody, if you see something that you want to eat, before you do anything, remember this song. Don't you put it in your mouth. Don't you put it in your mouth. Don't you stuff it in your face. Don't you stuff it in your face. Though it might look good to eat. What in the fuck is this?

And it might look good to taste. And it might look good to taste. Andy Pandy, great choice, Cam. Thumbs up. Well, Andy is never wrong. Let's listen to this one. Real sick. Real sick. Don't you put it in your mouth.

Uh-uh. Till you ask someone you love. That's right, sis. If it's okay to eat. If it's okay to eat. Like a muffin or a beet. Like a muffin or a beet, if you don't know just what it is, remember boys and girls, don't put it in your mouth, hey what am I doing, I don't even like beets, then don't put it in your mouth, bye-bye everyone, remember boys and girls, never take

anything from a stranger, and don't put things in your mouth when you donbye, everyone. Remember, boys and girls, never take anything from a stranger, and don't put things in your mouth when you don't know what they are. If you eat somebody else's medicine or some bad food or some poison, you could get very sick. Always ask someone you love before you put anything in your mouth. You guys get that? Don't put poison

in your mouth. Cam, where do you remember that from? That is bizarre. Were you putting things in your mouth and someone had to play that? Where was that airing? On global TV. I don't know. Like CHCH, wherever we were watching. It's played during cartoons.

The Concerned Child advertisers. And it's Canadian? Yeah, it's a Canadian. Remind me of the song uh put it in your mouth by yeah that's a good song this is kind of that's kind of the it's like it's like a response that could have been your mind blow song anyway that this organization there i think their most famous ad was the house hippo do you remember that like a little it's like don't believe everything you

see on tv it's like a little hippopotamus like walking around the house. Do you remember Stay Alert, Stay Safe, Bert and Gert? Was that before your time or ahead of your time? Yeah, I know. Were you in that? Yeah, that's what I thought. And you did like one that's like, it's fun to play in exciting places, but if you see like a hypodermic needle, don't touch it.

I did that as well. That was you, right? Yes. Okay. That's good advice, actually. It's still good advice. Don't jab it in your arm. Yeah, you, right? Yes. Okay. That's good advice, actually. It's still good advice. Don't jab it in your arm. Yeah, don't touch those needles.

Don't touch those needles. Wow. Did you know this song? Like, have you ever heard this? Okay, so I feel I know references to that song from Adults with Nostalgia. Yeah, like Retro Ontario, it's on his channel. I don't believe i have any

firsthand actual memories from the time like i only know it secondhand like i should know it but i don't believe i ever saw that on television that's why i'm asking where was it were you watching saved by the bell on some global or something when it would air dr snuggles doc that's a TVO though. Oh, there might be PSAs. Yeah, I feel like this is probably late 80s, early 90s. So this could be like Street Sense, you know,

maybe a bit more like mature stuff. Yeah, like I remember I've got a few years on you guys. Barba Papa. Yes, I love Barba Papa. You might have been in university by the time Don't You Put It In Your Mouth.

Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings. Jeremy was the bear was my guy. Mike likes to put things in his mouth. So this song is not for him. Especially the great taste of Great Lakes Brewery beer. Cheers to you. He's more an Akineli type guy. I can't wait for TMLXX, by the way.

Every FOTM you can hear my voice. And I'm sorry if there are any technical issues with the live stream. Ian says it's smooth as silk for him, but he's bragging about his awesome... So that's like two weeks today. It's two... So here's the deal. I'm going to record tomorrow. Monica's going to have a birthday

party on Saturday. And then I'm camping. And then there's only one episode on Friday next week with Roger Christian. No, there's no electricity. What's Matt Layton going to ask you every day? Yeah, I won't be online for a few days. Don't put it in your mouth. You replied it, Matt Layton, and say I'm camping.

So I'm gone. It's not stuck in my head now. What a jam. It's a good... You know, it is catchy as fuck. Okay, so my turn. You ready, guys? My turn.

Did you raise your daughter to play that for her? Yeah, she doesn't put stuff in. Like, she's a smart girl. She's not playing. She puts the odd, you know, joint in her mouth. Oh, stop it. How old is your daughter now? She's 13.

She's not smoking weed. Oh, that is too young. You son of a bitch. Probably not. I didn't know how young she was. She's mature. I like that you said probably not. Well, I don't know.

Oh, next Friday. Next Friday. My daughter moves to Montreal next Friday. Whoa. And I'm very sad about it. Can we go visit her? Like, where's she staying? Is she in residence?

Residence at McGill. Okay. I'm feeling whatever that, I'm feeling very bittersweet feeling. I've been feeling it all week. Like I'm proud of her. I'm proud of her. Yeah.

No, one came back. Okay. So James did two years at Laurier in his third years at York. Really? So he's coming back. Is he like back here? James, get out of here.

You said him. I took him to, well, he's at, I mean, he's summer. Wait, he lives here James get out of here you said him I took him well he's at I mean he's summer he lives here again half he's at his mom's and me

he kind of splits the time Mac and me Mac and me oh that's a McDonald's Andy was smoking weed at 13 for those that were wondering that explains everything

Dave says only you can prevent forest fires yeah that was fucking Jays are on fire 9 to 2 Cam Brio mentioned that the gem in the holograms live action movie was junk oh if Cam are on fire. Nine to two. Cam Brio mentioned that the gem

in the Holograms live action movie was junk. Oh, if Cam said that, it's going to be awful. Yeah. He likes a lot of bad stuff. Leslieville says first round goes to Stu. Well, second round... We are the misfits. It's going to go to Stu as well.

What, Gorilla's lost? Okay, let me see if I can win this round. You ready? Yeah. You know, a town with money is a little like the mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it and dang if he knows how to use it. Mule.

The name's Landley, Lyle Landley. And I come before you good people tonight with an idea. Probably the greatest... Oh, it's not for you. It's more of a Shelbyville idea. Now, wait just a minute. We're twice as smart as the people of Shelbyville. Just tell us your idea and we'll vote for it. All right. I tell you what I'll do. I'll show you my idea.

I give you the Springfield monorail. I've sold monorails to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and by gum it put them on the map. Well, sir, there's nothing on Earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified six-car monorail. What'd I say? Monorail. What's it called? Monorail.

That's right, monorail. Monorail. Monorail. Monorail. I hear those things are awfully loud. It flies as softly as a cloud. Is there a chance the trap could bend? Not on your life, my Hindu friend.

What about us brain-dense slobs? You'll be given cushy jobs. Were you sent here by the devil? No, good sir, I'm on the level. The ring came off my pudding can. Take my penknife, my good man. I swear it's Springfield's only choice. Throw up your hands and raise your voice.

Monorail! What's it called? Monorail! Once again! Monorail! But Main Street's still all cramped and broken. Sorry, Mom. The mod is spoken.

Monorail! Monorail! Monorail! Monorail! Mono-Fran! Mon-Fran! Mon-Fran! Don't! Okay, Phil Hartman, shout out to Ridley Funeral Home. What a fucking loss.

What a talent. Every time I hear Lyle Landley or Lionel Hutz, I think, oh my God. What a great, yeah, he was so great on Saturday Night Live. He was great on news radio. Just what a talent. From Brantford, you know. Totally. Wow, okay. Shout out to James Cameron. Still with us. He's from Brantford, you know. Totally. Wow. Okay. Shout out to James Cameron.

Still with us. He's from Brantford? Yeah. And the guy, what's his name? Wayne something? Wayne Embry? The great one. So, okay. So, where do I go? That episode is fantastic. That was written by Conan O'Brien. Did you know that? That specific episode.

Why is this episode, because I'm not really a Simpsons person, but I'm very familiar with this. The Monorail. Why is this episode, because I'm not really a Simpsons person, but I'm very familiar with this, the monorail. Why is this such an iconic episode? Well, it's in the prime Simpsons years. So, you know, they take the first year

to kind of get the animation right, get the flow right. Two I quite like. Actually, I like one, but two I quite like. And by three and four, they're cooking with gas. And this is kind of the sweet spot.

We could have gone with the Mr. Plow song. Sure. There's a lot of great, first of all, there's a lot of great is the sweet spot we could have gone with the mr plow song sure there's a lot of great first of all there's a lot of great simpsons songs i could have gone with i had to choose one and i chose that i could have done the the quickie mart song but uh do you want to know what were the parody in there what the hell is this i think it's rich more i'm trying to think it's like the music man well thank you for blowing my oh shit fun fact there but yes okay so i was gonna ask you two are you guys into any like musicals and shit like oklahoma the music man like is this something you guys are into some of my one of my friend's kids was just in the music man katie was in it too well here's the big jam from the music man that

that monorail song is parodying you ready ready? Sure. Well, either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community.

Well, you got trouble, my friend. Right here, I say trouble right here in River City. Why, sure, I'm a billiard player. Certainly mighty proud to say I'm always mighty proud to say it. I consider that the hours I spend with a cue in my hand Sounds like Stephen Colbert.

This is Robert Preston. So basically, this is, you know, you've probably heard You Got Trouble right here in River City and all that shit. That's from the Music Man, and that's what it is. We're rolling into it's like yeah what is the plot of that so i've never seen the music man i only know i think like he comes into town he's trying to sell instruments he's like oh this town needs is he swindling them okay so they're not like what what's right it's like hmm what's because

i'm really about in that monorail song, this guy's just trying to take money from... Totally. Have a shifty, charismatic... The monorail is like smoking. And of course, you remember the song, Get the mono, mono, get the mono, mono. Calking. Yeah.

And that was the guy who was in all the ads with the mustache. Was it the Microromachines guy he was an actor who was in all the ads yeah that guy was he on Beachcombers is it like Don Herman I know the guy you're talking about

okay okay what's the thing tires that was the nylons actually did that get the mono good get the mono. Bowser. Good song about Cox. Right.

I love a good Cox song. Shout out to Damien Cox, who came over with Gord Stelic last month. Okay, so my monorail song, which I quite like, is just really a warm-up for the great Stu Stone. Go ahead, Stu. Yeah, I hate to beat you at your own game here, Mike. I hate to show you how it's done, but I guess I'm

going to win the round by playing this. This is Bart. Yeah, it's to the Bart man. Whoa, mama. We were talking about Bartmania earlier today in the DM thread because 1990,

Bartmania was in full effect at the X. And I was doing a game booth and the prize was a Bart Simpson doll. And I rigged, it was stuffy but a hard head. A hard plastic head. And I rigged it so Joe from TO could win one.

Do you know all the voice actors that are the prime voice actors are all still alive that's a fun fact long intro I'm supposed to be talking over this right this could have been a club 102 jam Chris Shepard on a Friday night Chris Shepard This could have been a Club 102 jam Like it's top of the set

Chris Shepard? Yeah On a Friday night Chris Shepard Whoa Hey what's happening dude? I'm a guy with a rep for being rude Terrorizing people

Wherever I go It's not intentional Just keeping the flow Fixing test scores To get the best scores Brought the banana peels All over the floor I'm the kid that made

The thing with C&R Last name Simpson First name Buck I'm going to win this round based on who wrote this song. But let's leave all the fun facts to Stu Stone. Stu, speak to us, brother. Well, I'm waiting for the background vocals to be heard so that we can try to identify some of the other singers in the song. Weird, you can't really tell that it's him. Andy says, excellent choice,

Micah. That was my, That's a good song. Well, it was a huge Much Music hit. I feel like it's probably number one. We are listening to Do the Bartman from the 1990 album The Simpsons Sing the Blues. Leslieville says round two to Mike.

Leslieville, that's fine. BPSL says Monorail better than Bartman. Well, it is but you know not as big of a hit here so not a single you can't really tell

but somehow that's doesn't sound like him but he wrote it he also provided background vocals apparently really deep maybe

written and produced by Michael Jackson no yeah I feel like provided background vocals, apparently. Wayley Deep, maybe. Written and produced by Michael Jackson. No. Yeah. I feel like... You can kind of hear it. Yeah.

He's in there. And remember, this is around the time of Stark Raving Dad. The only episode of The Simpsons not streaming on Disney+. I always thought that was more like an urban legend that Michael Jackson was involved in this.

Like that's confirmed? He did not sing on The Simpsons, but he did the speaking. He produced this song. The guy who did the singing was a guy named Kip Lennon, but that was 100% Michael Jackson. Kip Winger. And he used it to groom young boys. Despite receiving much radio airplay in the United States,

Do The Bartman was never officially released as a single there. So, 1236, relax. I will say, however, in Canada, it got all the way to number 14 on the charts. This song was top 10 music video all over the world. It won the MTV or nominated for the MTV award that year,

et cetera. Another fun fact, I did not share this tune with you, but there was a song the same year that came out

by, called Do The Bart, which was by 2 Live Crew. So if you like, mistakenly were looking for Do The Bart, man,

it's kind of like a waltz there. I don't remember Do The Bart. Maybe you can find it, Do The Bartman. It's kind of like a wook. I don't remember Do The Bart. Maybe you can find it, Do The Bart. All the grandmothers were buying it. Speaking my shit so hard. If you mistake it, Do The Bart was Two Live Crew. Got to look out for that.

Luther Campbell. Luke Skywalker. Right. Shout out to Roger Christian. So there you go. Do the Bartman. I do admit that the monorail is a better song, but iconic. And less problematic song.

However, if you want to look at pop culture relevancy, you know, you didn't have to be a Simpsons trivia buff to know this song. You might have to remember the monorail episode. You don't have to remember that. All we need to do is go to the guy who doesn't watch TV here. Cam, did to remember the monorail episode. You don't have to remember that here. All we need to do is go to the guy who doesn't watch TV here. Cam, did you know the monorail song? I did, but this is a better choice.

This is a bullseye. Thank you, Cam. It's a good song, too. Thank you. I feel like dropping a Norm Macdonald on you about Michael Jackson. I like monorail, too. It's good. I like Don't You Put It In Your Mouth. It's all good. Thankfully for you, I do have the DVD

that has Stark Raving Dad on it. They can't take that away from me. So if you want to watch it, let me know. I'll link to the DVD. This is a dumb question. Is The Simpsons still active? Yes.

32, 33 years coming up, I guess. That's unbelievable. 89 it debuted. Wow. Oh, wow, man. Woo!

Couple of back-to-back Simpsons hey mike do you can i do a segue yeah oh my god as you know like before do the urkel sorry during that time do you remember that follow-up deep deep trouble which was a dj jazzy jeff jay which i think is better that was a good one too and then there was also problematic the sprain do the sprain. That's when I think Lisa Turtle. Lisa Turtle. That was Screech. Casey Kasem. Yeah. Rest in peace.

Shout out to Ridley Funeral Home. Screech is dead. Do you remember the wolf, Teen Wolf? There was Do the Wolf. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody had a dance back then. If everybody had a surfboard. Okay, my question for you before we go to my third and final jam.

We're going to hit that two fucking hour mark. Yeah, and this is related loosely to Matt Groening. Matt Groening. You had Life in Hell appeared in the pages of Now magazine. Yes, it did. Prior to this, now allegedly the last issue is on newsstands.

Looks like these guys haven't been paid in 21 weeks. Do you care? Are you sad about this melancholy? Well, I had Richard Trapunsky on to dive into what the fuck happened. I listened to that. I've already buried this,ancholy? Well, I had Richard Trapunsky on to dive into what the fuck happened. I listened to that. I've already buried this, man. To me, it's already died. It's just a question of when does it take its last breath.

What if just like a shitty ending just for something that's really iconic? But I'm a realist. Like, Cam, this age, this digital era, it's not the 90s anymore, man. No. That was basically...

You need your concert listings. You need your alternative take. You needed that. Yeah. To me, I'd go downtown. You need your classified ads. We'd pick up now that. Like, to me, I'd go downtown, we'd pick up Now, we'd pick up I, we'd go home, we'd catch up, whatever. I'm just, you know, I'm a creature of the modern digital era. Imagine, like, reading a movie review on newsprint.

By the way, I'm a Gen Xer. I miss a lot of shit from the night. I miss the movie. I loved watching Siskel and Ebert. And that, like, a lot of shit that I loved. I loved going to the video store. Totally. Talking up the cokehead video store owner in my hood.

He's like, you should check out this Reservoir Dogs. You'd love it, okay? I never heard fucking anything about Reservoir Dogs. He says, you should try it. It blew my fucking mind. Well, think about like Sports Center. Like you used to like watch TSN at like 7 a.m. to watch the sports highlights from the day before.

Like you just, nobody would ever do that. Sports Tonight on CNN with Vince and Fred. What fucking sports line? Do you guys remember the sports line? Yeah. Of course. George Michael's sports machine. Yeah, sports machine.

I always thought it was like the Faith guy. I was so disappointed because it wasn't George Michael. You got to have faith, guys. Okay. So. By the way, someone shouted out South Park Blame Canada here. That should be, should have been played by one of us.

I don't think it's going to be. I never was a big South Park guy. But the South Park movie. Never seen it. But when the South Park movie came out. I saw the movie. That was fantastic. Bigger, Longer, Uncut. Was there a movie? It was actually good. Because Saddam Hussein was being fucked by Satan, as I recall. Was that with the puppets?

No. No, that was good too. Team America. Or World Police or something. I actually enjoyed that puppet movie too. There's probably music in that. America, fuck yeah. Yeah.

It was good. Walking around the video store, looking at the different titles, then going over and renting some Nintendo games, looking at the wrestling section. Maybe for financial reasons, you were going to get one new release and then one old release. at the different titles than going over and renting some Nintendo games, looking at the wrestling section. And maybe, maybe for financial reasons, you were going to get one new release

and then one older release. What was your video store? Is this just like an independent place? Video clicks? On Jane Street near Colbeck, I had a video store. And the guy literally

got arrested for dealing drugs. Whoa. Like that's a real story. Stu and I had jumbo video. Oh, we had a blockbuster at Jane and Bloor if I wanted the big chain, but I had the local guy and I had the local guy. Well, Cam wasbuster at Jane and Bloor if I wanted the big chain, but I had the local guy.

Well, Cam was very tall back then. He still is. Still is. But he used to be able to go behind the curtain if you know what I mean. Because he was like

tall and looked older. Oh, you had a curtain because there's no curtain at jumbo. I feel like it was more like saloon doors. Like swinging saloon doors. Cam used to go

behind the curtain. Allegedly. Speaking of bigger, longer, uncut. Just took a glance just took a quick peek that explains you were traumatized

by the sperm I could never go back there because I looked like I was like you still can't go back no even with your Joey Batista beard

yes you wore like a trench coat do you remember when we went into the pandemic when Stu Stone looked like Joey Batista I was shocked I know

I can't I look at that picture and I'm like shocked by it he looked like Hulk Hogan when he went back and like he would dye his beard with like shoe polish. Oh yeah.

Like the stubble. The behind the actress studio. Do you remember that guy? Yes. He did the shoe polish thing. So he always. Oh James. He died at like 92 or something

but he looked like he was like 60. What's his name? James Carville. Tipton? Tipton? Lipton? Lipton. Okay. James Lip his name? James Carville. Tipton? Lipton? Lipton. Okay.

James Lipton from behind the Actors Studio. Shout out to Jumbo Video. Yeah, but Blockbuster. Blockbuster,

but Video Flix. Where did Ryan work? Video 99? Ryan worked at Video Flix. Oh, do you remember

Video 99? Yeah, yeah. Also the Great Movie Machine. We had a two-for-one video at Jane and Blue

where I would go two-for-one. I loved that. You know what I loved? I loved the great movie machine? We had a two for one video at Jane and Blue or I would go to for a while. But these, I loved that. I loved, you know what I loved? I loved, I loved.

Nostalgia moment here. I loved waking up on a Saturday, grabbing the Toronto Stars sports section, having my cereal. What did I get in the cereal box?

Was there like a Tron frisbee or what the fuck's in there reading like the box score from the jays game and catching up on everything seeing what the magic number is or whatever watch like throwing wwf superstars at noon coliseum video totally okay video station which was just shouted out here i think that my memory if it serves me correctly that was the first big video store, video station, because Mark Levy's dad owned one. Wow.

Videos? Was it a train gimmick? Yeah, it was at Thornhill Square. Is that right? So when I moved to 30 Charles Street West, I would go to Bay video. It was Bay and,

like pretty much Bay and Bloor, but it was Bay's video. Anyways, that was a big deal. Bay Bloor Radio? No, that was, if you

miss it you miss it i will say mendelssohn hanging out stew's house growing up he had a fantastic like library of like dubbed vhs cassettes yeah all sorts of stuff plus they had satellite dish four track oh did you do the uh what was the uh two track four how did you do it like you get eight hours out of that fucking tape or two hours oh SPL what the hell was that super long play right they had that for VHS SLP

I remember having to make calls on movies like do I want it to look good or do I just want to like fit like 3 movies on this fucking tape

Bay Street video everybody's saying Bay Street video that's the one I feel like the first Wrestlemania on VHS was 2 cassettes

yeah am I wrong yes you're not wrong did I tell you guys when I rented JFK it came in 2 cassettes and I accidentally wrong yes you're not wrong yeah did i tell you guys when i rented jfk came in two cassettes and i accidentally watched the second one first and it i didn't catch on until like fucking way late because it just seemed like they started at a trial did you see john

candy or was he in the first half he was in that was he was in that i guess i gotta watch that movie again jfk i wonder if it's good like Like, I remember being good back then. We'll watch it together in the live stream. I feel like a lot of people, like, Oliver Stone is, like, not a conspiracy theorist, but kind of. Yeah, kind of. Kind of. He's very mistrusting. What was the movie with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis? Natural Born Killers.

A thriller? Norm Wilner worked at Jumbo Video on Steals Between Hilda and Bathurst. Do you know what else was on Steals Between Hilda and Bathurst? The Great Sluggers baseball card shop. That's right. You got any of those jerseys for me? Those shirts? Any left over? They all got bloodied in the filming?

Honestly, that plaza, giant Toys R Us and Sluggers and then across the street, Lime Rickies. That's where Mike Wilner worked. Mike across the street, Lime Rickies. And that's where Mike Wilner worked. Yeah, Wilner worked. Mike Wilner worked at Lime Rickies, yeah. Wow, it all comes back to Wilner. I feel like there's a kosher bakery.

Cameron. Yes. Would you like to say any words before we kick out your third jam? Hold on, before you do that, we're talking about that plaza a little bit more here. Yeah, go ahead. That's your neck of the woods, so let me listen. The remote car.

So Adam Rodness, my business partner in 5'7 Productions, 5'7 Films. You don't even know what it's called. He went to that slot car track. There was a slot car thing. There was an ice cream shop called Lowe's, which is an ice cream shop with RBI baseball they had in there on video game. And Double Dragon they had, which was so sick. Sorry, there was a race? Yeah, it was like a race car.

Really? Yeah. Then there's Zelly's Deli was a deli that was in that plaza. Toys R Us, obviously, was in that plaza. There's still a Toys R Us near here. I'd sure wait. There wasn't a McDonald's at that point, but now there is a McDonald's.

In that plaza? A standalone. Like in the middle of the parking lot. Play It Again Sports was like around the corner there, if you remember. Just Hockey. Great neighborhood. But then the mall there, like Town and Country, now Centerpoint,

was just a piece of shit. It literally is so bad. Although the smoke shop there was one of the few places you could get wrestling magazines or wrestling cards, like the WWF cards. Like shitty little smoke shop but they had all the best stuff. Wow. Cam.

Yes. What do you want to say before this third jam of yours? This one has... The kitchen sink, by the way, was the ice cream that you would order at Lime Market. It was like all the flavors together. It was all of the flavors. And we would order a... Giant waffle shingle.

Did you ever go to Mr. Green Jeans? Eden Center? Yeah. Totally. Or the Organ Grinder? That was at go to Mr. Green Jeans? Eden Center? Yeah. Totally. Or the Organ Grinder? That was at Esplanade. Spaghetti Factory? The Organ Grinder was beside the Spaghetti Factory, right?

They was on the Esplanade. They're at Young there. But Organ Grinder was like a birthday party spot. Yeah. For some reason. I went to a birthday party there. What was so great about it? Did they have games or something?

Did they have animatronics there? I think it was just marketed to kids. But was it like Chuck E. Cheese kind of? Like there was a guy that played the organ? I feel like there was animatronics there? I think it was just marketed to kids. But was it like Chuck E. Cheese kind of with animatronics? I feel like there was animatronics there. By the way, I was in Victoria, like BC last fall and they still have... Yeah, mile one. Yeah, and they still have like the old spaghetti factory

downtown there. Really? Yeah. So we don't... Is our spaghetti factory gone? I didn't know it was gone. I knew it was still there. It's still there. It's still there according to YYZ. Yeah, really. Okay, well YYZ would know. And he doesn't like to be... I feel like the beer market is down there where... B-I-E-R? Yeah, where the other one used to be.

Yeah, there's a... I was going to call it the Great Space Coaster. What's the one that's gone? Great Space Coaster. I don't know. Sorry, how many seniors? Anyway, let's... Gary Ganew.

There's no news. There's no Gary Ganew. Speaking of great newscasters that are puppets, Gary Ganew and Kermit the Frog. Anyway, my final track is also by puppets. Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog. I'm here with the three little pigs. It is so tragic how we lost Jim Henson

because he was still full of life. He wasn't that old a man. I don't know what he was, 49 or something. He was my hero. And he got pneumonia or something and he died. Creative man. He should my hero. And he got pneumonia or something and he died. Creative man. He should still be. Apparently, I think he had...

Whatever, there's rumors. I heard pneumonia. What did you hear? He had immune issues. I heard he didn't get medical attention when he should have. Maybe. I don't know. I trust yours. I don't want to besmirch the great Jim Henson.

He had immunity issues. I trust yours. I don't want to be smirched. Well, that's not just smirging. He had immunity issues. I will say this, Mike. That's a great segue into this jam. What's going on? Yeah! What do you want? Love this movie.

Yeah! Love this movie. I just go in my shit With a chili and fudge in the lamp In the lamp And don't look much Oh Oh Get it down with fire Make smoke with fire Bang, hey, fucking fire Like I said, don't lose your head

When you think it's possible Cam really shit the bed this week, right? What the fuck are you talking about? Because all three of your... Okay, all three of your jams, in my opinion, are mediocre. You just said, I love this movie. Yeah, I do love this movie. But what's the problem?

But this is not even the best song in that movie. What about the... Is this from Labyrinth? Yeah. But there's better songs in Labyrinth. Like what? David Bowie. But he's not a puppet Labyrinth. Like what? David Bowie. But he's not a puppet.

Is he a puppet? He's not a puppet. Asshole. He's not a puppet. Anyway, I'm going to blow your mind like three times with this. The name of the song

is Chili Down. Okay? Now, first mind blow. This is just up to the public. YYC Court says agreed cam songs are all horrible songs. Okay, well,

he's a tough discipline. That's the best you got? Sure. Anyway, you know where I saw this movie? At Centerpoint Mall. We were just talking about it. Was there any sperm at the beginning? Mark Fuller's birthday party.

It was like eighth birthday party. Did you cry? I feel like you would be scared of that movie, Cam. Did you have... I was crushing on Jennifer Connelly after that movie. Were you? Yeah. Yeah.

I can picture Cam closing his eyes during that movie because it got scary. I had to go take a walk like a wise blind. Did grandma take you home? A wise blind. I had to go for a wise blind. Mr. Fuller

help me out. So yeah this is the only song on the Labyrinth soundtrack where David Bowie doesn't sing. And that's the one Cam went with.

David Bowie's not a puppet. But he could have collaborated with a puppet. Oh maybe. Okay so this is fun. We'd have to debate that. This is fun. So it's sung by four puppeteers. Yeah. David Bowie's not a puppet. But he could have collaborated with a puppet. Oh, maybe. Okay, so this is fun. We'd have to debate that. This is fun. So it's sung by four puppeteers.

Okay. Kevin Clash. Frank Oz. Yeah. Okay, yes. That's a fucking mind blow. Kevin Clash, who's like later

gained fame by buying Elmo. He was canceled, but I think they might have brought him back because the kid, the guy was over 18. And he, I mean, you know. Why did he get cancelled?

He had an inappropriate relationship with a minor. He had relations with a young man. Ooh. Okay. But I don't think he was too young. I think that's why we uncancelled him maybe. He was young though. I don't think he was underage. Let's park that for a second. Elmo.

Fucking Elmo. Yeah. Chiliilly down one of the four artists Frank Oz yes oh speaking of Star Wars actually no wait no he was not they're all no names but we need to like we need to wedge in Esri Geography Corner. We're just going to wedge this in.

Gregoski is going to be a team. Kevin Klosch went to Dundalk High School in Baltimore. Same high school as Bucky Lasik. Wait a minute. Who's Bucky? Oh, I didn't know Bucky. Famous skateboarder. Should I know Bucky? As well Wait a minute. Who's Bucky? Oh, I didn't know Bucky. Famous skateboarder. As well, do you remember the

1989 Cubs? Yes. Ryan Sandberg. Ryan Sandberg. Andre Dawson. They dedicated a career. You're Mike by lucky. Anyway, when staying high school, anyway, Mike, this is going to tie together to one of your picks. One of the other puppeteers was Danny

John Jules, a British puppeteer. He grew up in the Paddington suburb of London. Went to Rutherford High School. Two people he went to high school with. Paul Hardcastle. Oh, 19. Talked about

our last episode, as well as Phil Daniels. Wait, slow down. Phil Daniels is not the guy who was in c3po that's anthony no phil daniels is the guy who does the spoken word park on blur park life holy fuck confidence is a day of park life wow let's talk about the sparrows so that that all ties together very nicely it But it is interesting. If you listen to the three jams that Cam kicked out, you'd be hard-pressed to find worse songs, right? It's almost like you thought the challenge was to pick the worst songs by cartoons or puppet.

So these are just shitty songs? Melmac Girls by Alf is pretty bad. No. Don't put it in your mouth. Don't put it in your mouth. And this particular Labyrinth song is pretty below average. It sucks.

It's all about the voodoo. Who do you do? Dance magic. It's not fucking puppet, Mike. You're right. What the fuck is your man? I love Labyrinth, though. Okay.

I don't know about that song, though. There's a reason you weren't at Mark's birthday party. You know, don't know about that song, though. But Stu... See, there's a reason you weren't at Mark's birthday party. You know, I'm upset about that. Being a jerk. Whose birthday party? Mark Fuller. Mark Fuller.

I didn't know you guys. Full dog. I'm actually mildly upset. Maybe I'm having trouble because you had a barbecue in your backyard and Stu and I didn't get invitations. But it sounds like Allie was there. Allie was there. Who else was there?

Lindsay Lynch of TikTok Canada. Was Canada Kev there? No. there. Who else was there? Uh, Lindsay Lynch of TikTok Canada. Was Canada Kev there? No, uh, her, her, her partner, Colin was there.

Was there a, cause MF seems to like me. Was there a moment when you thought, Hey, let's extend an invitation to Mike and Stu. It was like your, your, your guests might like to have some celebrities there.

They're all famous. Like they're, these are, these are, these are all work for big tech. Ali works for Uber. Ali. Yeah, we talked about the tech industry. Ali McBeal. Yeah.

Dating Harrison Ford. Anyway, next time. Who was in Star Wars that Roger Christian participated in. He helped design the Millennium Falcon. Okay. Coming soon to Toronto. Anyway, Labyrinth Chili Down. Great song.

Look, I'm going to win round two. I'm going to win round two. Fuck off. Are you ready, Stu?th Chili Down. Great song. Look, I'm going to win round three. I won round two. I'm going to win round three. Fuck off. Are you ready, Stu? Yeah. Okay. I love Stu.

He's always okay. That's a good song. Is this Andy Kim? He co-wrote it, but we'll get to that. This is a smash. It's going to be tough for me to beat this, but I know I will. It's a great song. Surprised like it hasn't been redone in a modern way.

Try to think of it as Sugar Sugar. Yeah. This is it Sugar Sugar. Yeah. This is called Sugar Sugar. The artists ready for this. Cartoons. You ready? Everything's Archie. The Archies. I was in Riverdale to talk to Jim Cuddy. I made a joke on that episode.

Where's Archie Andrews? Was he nice? Jim? Yes. It just took a while to warm up. It just took five minutes. Where's Archie Andrews? Was he nice? Jim? Yeah. Yes. Was he? Okay. It just took a while to warm up. It just took five minutes. The precursors to Josie and the Pussycats.

Well, they spun off. So did a few things, including Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Lil' Jinx. Sorry, from? Lil' Jinx. From Archie's? Yes. Dylan.

Dilton Daly. Doyley. But that wasn't a spinoff. No, I'm just... Do you know, sometimes it was Eugene, and sometimes it was Dilton Dorely, but it was the same character. Archie's Double Digest. I used to love my Archie Andrews Double Digest.

Our kids have a certain vintage, and I'm thinking everyone who listens to this show probably read Archie comics at one point or another. They were as hot as anything. I mean, I wrote book reports. They were fucking, let me tell you. I wrote book reports on Archie comics. So,

I did. FOTM Andy Kim. What is his role in this movie? He's a co-writer, so it was written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim.

Okay? The Archies recorded this. It went to number one. Yeah. What year? 1969. It stayed at number one for four fucking weeks. Can't wait to beat you. It went to number one for four fucking weeks.

Can't wait to beat you. It went to number one in the UK for eight weeks. There's also Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love in My Tummy. This was like a real movement. These sorts of bubble gum.

Very sweet. I want candy. is that later okay so but that that's like a remake so maybe that was like from the same era maybe yeah bow wow or is that the remake about yeah bow wow wow okay so not a mind blow but i mentioned what a big hit that fucking song was right hook this to your fucking veins. Woo! Oh. The band.

It's a band. Who can name this artist? Otis? No good guess. This man. Lou Rawls. Good guess. This man wrote the song That a bunch of wrestlers covered

Or didn't write it But he had a hit with it He had a hit with it Land of a Thousand Dances Oh Wilson Pickett Wilson fucking Pickett Really? I'll be sure

So Wilson Pickett had a big hit Another hit So 1970 Sugar Sugar is a hit again With Wilson Pickett had a big hit, another hit. So 1970, Sugar Sugar is a hit again with Wilson Pickett's version. Yeah. It works like this version. Yeah, it sounds good. So good, Mike.

Like the horns. The song. Oh, there's another cover? Just a little. Don't put it in your mouth. A little bonus for everybody. Since he's a two-time guest in toronto mike both times in person once we sat in my kitchen chatting drinking coffee sorry andy kim's this is a big jam from andy kim

what would trudy think of this song? She likes it. Why did he come on twice? Once to talk to Andy Kim. The next time just to talk about like... No, to kick out the jams. He came back to kick out the jams. He kicked out a Post Malone jam as I read it. Whoa.

Very current, that Andy Kim. Kind of has like a Neil Diamond vibe. Totally. Totally. Andy Kim. Kind of has like a Neil Diamond vibe. Totally. Actually, that's a really good one. The Con Can is the Pet Shop Boys of Canada.

Andy Kim's the Neil Diamond of Canada. But I always thought that Keith Hampshire was the Neil Diamond of Canada. If you listen to his big jams... Like First Cut is the deepest? Yeah, like,

or even the... Oh, my God. Okay, Blue Jays? Hold on. What is... Hold on here. Here, everybody. Hold on.

Keith Hampshire. He has... Was he Sunny Day? He was in Lighthouse, wasn't he? No. Was not, but... This sounds like

the same Sugar Sugar. Do you know Big Time Operator? Or Daytime Nighttime? Do you know these songs? Oh, Daytime. Yes. That's Keith Hampshire. It's Keith Hampshire.

Doesn't that sound in your head like Neil Diamond? Yes, totally. Yeah, so I always think of Keith Ham, but this guy too. He's got it going on. I remember that Daytime Nighttime was on an ad commercial for CFMT. It was sort of their reruns.

They would show Cheers and whatever. You know what I always remember? Ready for this? You're watching 47 Cable Fun. Right. Lucy Zillio. I've asked you before. Get her on the fucking program. I'm going to pass the mic to Lucy Zillio I've asked you before I don't know

We gotta track it down Get her on the fucking program Okay So I'm gonna pass the mic To Stu To take us home The song that I'm going to play Which I'm going to win

With Which you'll find out why shortly But this song actually won Two awards At the 30th Grammy Awards It won the Song of the Year Award And the best song written specifically for a motion picture or television program.

Wait, wait, wait. We got to talk first because I know there's a couple here loaded up, but you need the cartoon one first. Yeah. Okay, let's kick that one over. That's the one. Oh, really?

Yeah. Really? Yeah. Fucking jam right here. Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight. Little pitchy dog. Someone's thinking of me And loving me tonight Hold on.

Turn it down for a second. Of course, we're listening. Are you there? Yeah, we're listening to the song Somewhere Out There from an American tale. And on the phone with me right now is the listening to the song Somewhere Out There from An American Tale. And on the phone with me right now is the guy singing the song. Holy fuck!

Philip Glasser, the voice of Fievel the Mouse, calling into the show right now to secure a win. Phil, I picked your song as the greatest cartoon song of all time. Well, I appreciate that, Stu Stone. And you were up against some stiff competition like Alf. Don't you put it in your mouth. Willie!

There you go. He knows. But somewhere out there won the Grammy Award for best song. Did you go to the Grammy Awards? I didn't. It won for Grammy

and then was nominated for the Oscar. And we were actually, I was supposed to perform like the first verse and then Linda Ronsat and James Ingram were going to take over, but they ended up just going with them. Probably the right choice.

Of course, Phil went on to do American Tale, Fable Goes West in the series. And there's a Universal theme park ride and there's dolls that you pull the string and Phil talks. With Steven Spielberg, right? Steven Spielberg. Yeah. Steven Spielberg directed the movie.

Did Steven Spielberg direct it? He produced it. He produced it. Don Bluth directed it. Oh, that's a big name. Yeah, big name. Don Bluth is big. As big as it gets.

That's a big name. And, you know, Phil, a good friend of mine, and I figured I would pick somewhere out there, and I figured I would blow everybody's mind by having Phil Glasser, the voice of Fievel the Mouse, who's singing the song on the Toronto Mike Toast episode. See, Mike, we're playing checkers. These guys are playing chess. We're playing chess over here. We're playing D chess right now.

I can't compete with that. I appreciate it. I'm honored. I'm honored to be part of the 2.0 show. Yes. Now, Phil, real quick, when you were recording that song, obviously you were a young boy at the time, but did you know that this was like

a very special song like when you were singing it? Well, the funny thing about it is if you just listen to the song, my voice kind of cracks in the very first little bit. Yeah, Mike called you out on that. And that was the very first take

I ever sang in the song, and Steven and Don loved it so much, they wouldn't let me redo it. It's charming. That's so funny. So that part made it, because authenticity is what they were trying to get, and I was six or seven years old, six years old, I think. It's as authentic as you can get.

And ironically, Phil Glasser, who, you know, people call him Philly, in the movie American Tail, Fievel, when he comes to America, they start calling him Philly. There you go. Because my bubby, my grandmother, used to take me to set. She's a 4'11 Bronx Jewish lady

that called me Philly. Always has since the day I was born. And that's where Philly Mouskowitz came from. Philly Mouskowitz. That's so funny. And of course, when I, you know, Phil and I, we go way back, but the most impressive thing about being on an American tale other than the massive royalty checks

he was getting when we were teenagers was that in his bar mitzvah video, this is before the days of cameo and whatnot, Steven Spielberg is in Phil's bar mitzvah video saying like, Fievel, it's your bar mitzvah. I'm so proud of you

it's a big get it was awesome big get it was Brian Master the DJ that was not the day we've kept that tradition going though

because Phil has hosted my two sons bar mitzvah videos and we have some pretty impressive cameos that we've pulled off we've got one to go

one more to go in three years the aforementioned the aforementioned Toronto Mike's available the aforementioned John Travolta was a cameo in one of the... Battlefield Earth's John Travolta. He was at his bar mitzvah. Oh, yeah, Travolta was at the bar mitzvah.

He danced the horror with my mom. I got a Pulp Fiction poster around the corner. That's a mind blow. But anyway, Phil, I'm sorry to bother you. I know it's a very busy time for you, but it's really nice. Was Dom DeLuise nice? Yeah, we got some questions flying in from the audience. Was Dom DeLuise a good guy? I'm sorry to bother you. I know it's a very busy time for you, but it's really nice. Was Dom DeLuise nice? Yeah, we got some questions flying in from the audience.

Was Dom DeLuise a good guy? Amazing. Got to work with him for 11 years. I remember I went on to Troll in Central Park with him as well. And then we did a kid's album. An amazing man. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Really cool, man. Dom DeLuise was so, you know, when we were kids, he was like... Ask him about Star Trek Insurrection. Someone's asking about Star Trek Insurrection. I was living with Sue Stone when I did the movie. Yes.

And I remember it was supposed to be like a one-day thing. I ended up working eight days straight with Jonathan Frakes, I guess, as the director. And, like, I was playing young F. Murray Abraham as a kid. It was the bad guy, Adam Raffo. And literally, it was so bad, my hours, I ended up sleeping on the Paramount lot in my dressing room because I was literally working 18 hours a day. And they deleted the scene.

They did. They deleted the scene. However, if you're a big Star Trek fan, it is on the DVD extras. And Phil signs autographs for that movie all the time. That's how crazy Star Trek is. Oh, yeah, you guys were at Comic-Con, of course. Yeah.

Jesus Christ. Don Bluth is doing his first Comic-Con. Whoa. Coming up with me in Los Angeles on October the 9th. It's going to be crazy. One more mind blow about Phil Glasser that really sort of ties together this room. On the show Full House, if you remember the episode when they have the flashback to when Bob met, when Danny Tanner meets Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse in the schoolyard,

Phil plays young Bob Saget. Whoa. Really? Oh, my God. And so Bob Saget was also on his bar mitzvah video. Oh, my God. That's right. The whole cast was.

It was incredible. I got nothing. Hurry up with Don Bluth. All those guys were great. Obviously the coolest thing I would say in the entire Fievel experience when I worked with some of my favorite actors of all time from Madeline Kahn to John Cleese, but the one I'll never forget is working with Jimmy Stewart.

Last movie. Wow. Last movie. Fievel Goes West, right? Yeah. He was Sheriff Wiley Burr, and I worked with him for two or three days. Oh my God. Last movie he did. Wow. Oh, yeah. Five of Goes West. Right. Yeah. He was Sheriff Wiley Burr and I worked with him for two or three days.

Oh, my God. And that was it. That was the last movie he did before he died. Wow. Atta boy, Clarence. That's really crazy. And of course,

that was a big one. And now Phil, of course, is going to be famous for being the executive producer of the forthcoming sequel to Faking a Murderer. There you go. Yeah. There you go.

So how about that? I'm overwhelmed, but I will tell you that Don Bluth is 84 years old, so you better hurry it up. People are really pulling up your credits here. Saved by the Bell, you were on Saved by the Bell as well. Just like combing through the IMDB. Boy Meets World, you were on as well. Who was he on Saved by the Bell? He's just various characters. I did guest spots

and reoccurrings. Then I was a regular on Hangtime. Another 90s great one. Phil, I appreciate you taking the time to talk to us here. Somewhere out there is the greatest song from a cartoon ever, in my opinion.

You sang it, my friend. I couldn't agree with you more. I appreciate it. Thanks for thinking of me. We'll talk soon, more. I appreciate it. Thanks for thinking of me. All right. We'll talk soon, buddy. All right. Take care, guys. That's great.

Amazing. Look at that. Stu. That's how you win. You know, chilly down. That's how you win. I don't even need you to play my mind blows. I'm doing it, but there's an interesting quote I'll read from Leslieville.

Yeah. Wow. That was a great mind blow, Stu. I still give the round to Mike. That's fine. Oh. Leslieville, that's fine. What was your song? I'm forgetting what your song was. Nobody even remembers your stupid song because I just had

Phil Glasser come on. The guy who sang Somewhere Out There. It was good. No, that's well done. It's a great song. You're a well-connected individual. This is obviously the number one version with Linda Ronstadt,

who, fun fact, her original backup band touring back, as we've discussed, The Eagles. Yes, that's true. Came from being Linda Ronstadt's, and James Ingram, of course, great singer, one of Ken's mom's favorites. Totally. The late.

J.I. Wow. Wow. So there you go. I feel like Linda, we've talked about this, Linda Rod says, very underrated. Well, if I may, speaking of The Simpsons. Sure. She has a great cameo in the Mr. Plow episode.

Really? I think she's sleeping with Barney. Am I right? Barney and Homer have that competition as the great plows. I feel like she's very self-aware. And she did that Spanish, some Spanish albums. Yes. And I think she's singing

some Spanish songs. Is she like partially like Portuguese or something? Yeah, I'm going to be there. Just got a shout out. And of course, the great Michael McDonald on that track.

Of course. But yeah, somewhere out there. Let's blast it, man. Shout out to Phil Glasser. Somewhere out there If love can see us through Wow.

It's a little schmaltzy. No, it's a lot schmaltzy. It's of the era. It's of the era, yeah. I mean, you talk about the songs that followed this, all those Disney 90s cartoons that followed. Did the guy who picked Melmac Girls by Elf just call this

schmaltzy? But anyway, I had a bonus sort of mind blow, but you don't need to play it. I don't think we need, I think I'd like to just like quit while I'm ahead. By the way, you've played Out of Our Shells from like fucking Pizza Hut a million times.

Melmac Girls from Burger King. What's the difference? This was an honorable mention. I just wanted to self-promote by playing. The turtles never drop the N word, okay? That's a good point. This is Dolly Parton. Don't just throw the world away.

No, no. Because what goes around comes around again. Sorry, what is this? Gift, gift, gift. That keeps on giving. Recycle. Sorry, what is this? This is from the moose? He's going to reveal it in a moment. You better believe it, girl. So this is Dolly Parton. Sure. Lily Tomlin. Oh,, and the cast of the Magic School Bus.

And Little Richard did the theme song, right? So yeah, Magic School Bus had songs. That was one of them. And we got to do a duet with Dolly Parton. And Lily fucking Tomlin. Yeah. Wow. And you got to do a duet with Dolly Parton. And Lily fucking Toth. Yeah. Wow. And you were almost going to leave that on the cutting room floor. I was going to leave that on the cutting room floor because Phil Glasser came on the show.

Well, it's all good, brothers. I fucking love this episode. Another big win. Good mix of... There are no winners and losers. Nine for nine. On toes. Yes.

when they pulled out the cell phone and did the selfie? Who was that? I don't know. I feel like Oh, God. Yeah. T.O.? You whip it out. Was that T.O.? Anyway, guys, can't wait to see a TMLXX.
