Episode Date: July 30, 2013

Mike tells Rosie about his camping trip and Rosie talks about her web travels in search of penis.

Welcome to the 46th episode of Toronto Mic'd, a podcast about anything and everything, often with a distinctly Toronto flavour. I'm Mike from torontomic.com. Joining me as always is Rosie from mytorontoscoop.com. And hosting this audio file are the good people at Core Fusion. What's happening, Rosie? Hello, my friend. Hello, my friend. I'm good. We didn't record last week because I was camping.

Yeah, once a year you disappear into the woods. And I did not bring my podcasting equipment. You disappear, you're not around. Only once a year you disappear into the woods. And I did not bring my podcasting equipment. You just disappear. You're not around. Only once a year. Well, once a year I unplug. I might disappear more than once, but I won't unplug except for the camping trips. It's good.

It's good to do that sometimes to not be on Twitter. It's constant. It's addictive. So it's good. It's good to unplug every once in a while. It's actually the only time I truly relax because the essence of time disappears, if that makes sense. So even if it's only four days, I think we did four days, and suddenly you're like a

caveman. When it's light outside, you get up and you do your stuff. At some point, you eat and you make sure you eat like three times. And then when it gets dark, you make a fire and then you do your fire stuff and then you fall asleep and then you do it again where do you pee we have it's provincial parks have like bathrooms in the park you just kind of go to the main road and you tell you find one that's positively luxurious oh yeah yeah yeah i was totally expecting no it's a provincial part no. Because I'm looking for the other stuff. That'd be a problem.

Yeah, you have... My son actually went camping and they had a big day trip where they had to dig a hole. You dig a hole to do that. He said he saved that for when he was back at the cabin. I did not know that. Yeah, they dig a hole and then they do it. And then I guess they, I don't know, they fill in in the hole maybe they had a whole instruction like how to do that but wow in provincial parks you uh go to the bathroom you know they have showers in provincial parks like you can and

there's even laundry facilities on the premises in provincial parks wow so like you're at your tent no electricity or whatever but if you walk to the main road and keep going along that, you'll eventually, you will find a shower. You'll find a laundry room. So it's, you know, it's roughing it, but you can easily get to. So to make your food, you build the fire. And then do you have like a little heat, like heater plate or something? Like, or do you just stick the meat in the fire? No, I wish.

I have a barbecue and a stove that run on those little propane canisters. So everything's done. Like we have coffee every day at the French press that you gave us. I know. I saw the picture of it. I was like, that's pretty cool. The Bodum's gone camping. I love it.

But you know, when we have, we do s'mores every night on the campfire and roast marshmallows and you can roast weenies. The kids must love that. Doing the marshmallows and s'mores every night on the campfire and roast marshmallows and you can roast weenies the kids must love that doing the marshmallows and s'mores that's awesome to me that's like the hope that would be the the best part of it all so awesome i don't know if i mentioned it but it was pinery was where we went which is on lake huron near grand bend ontario and i go there a lot because the beaches are so sandy and they go forever and they have these sand dunes that the kids like to hike it's just a great time like i'm telling the kids next year we're going to sandbanks or and they basically say dad no we want to go to pinery again like they want to go back like it's

so much that's awesome well very good they probably had a lot of fun and i have an extra tent for you if you want to bring uh the family you know it's we pay for the place anyways i'm saying we got my kids have their own tent. I have three tents, so we could take care of it. Maybe I'll send Scott and Nicholas. Rosie might take a pass. Oh, Monica loves it. You kidding me?

Four days, Rosie? You can't go without like the finer things in life for four days. Come on. No. So what did you do last week during your week off? I worked and cared for my child. It was a pretty busy week. And actually, I had a very cool thing happen.

You know how you're always taking all these fancy test drives, all these car companies are always getting in touch with you to have Toronto Mike take their cars for a walk? Rose, I do. I did like six companies this summer. I know. It's like totally cool. Well, I had my very first test drive for my website. It was wicked. I had a car that I think you drove. Actually, I know you drove it because your presets were in it. It was actually so funny that Hyundai, the Genesis.

Yeah, the Genesis sedan. What? I was in that car. What a nice car. It was so much fun. And it was just cool. It was really cool to go and pick it up. And then he was showing me all the fancy stuff. And I have a 2006 Equinox. It's a great car, solid. It does the job.

But it doesn't have any of the fancy stuff. It doesn't have the keyless entry. And the best part for me was the navigation screen and the cameras. The rear view camera. I couldn't get enough of that. Because it really actually completely changes your life because you can park places you wouldn't park, even attempt to park. You're just like gliding into it. Right. So then when you leave it, you forget you don't have it.

Like I'm driving my protege and I need to go back into a tight spot. And I'm like, I can't see the camera right now. That is so true. Actually, that actually happened to me the very next day. I went to go back into, um, yeah. And I went to go to look back into a tight spot on the street and I'm like, Oh, I actually can't, I can't do this as well as I could last week. So that is what I, while you were, yeah, while you were camping in the, the, um, in the woods, I was cruising around in the Genesis, but I did laugh because when I got in and I was setting the, um, or no, it was, I was attaching the cell phone to the Bluetooth. Yes. And then there was a list of actually some other, some other websites I recognized.

There was Mike. And I only had that three weeks, two weeks ago, maybe pretty fresh. So I had to, and it was like, profiles are full. You must delete one. So I'm sad to say I deleted you. Oh, that's, that's okay. Listen, I, now I have to say that I hate to do this, but now I need to mention that the lovely people

at Ford Canada did lend me the Ford Edge to go camping. We're a big car ad. I know. It's all very subtle though, right? Of course. So it's like embedded,

like when Mad Men goes after the Chevy account. You hardly notice you just got marketed too. So yeah, they lent me a Ford Edge. It was so roomy like i fit everything in it and it was fantastic for going to pinery and back so i want to thank ford canada

for that it's the same not the same identical car but the same car i got married in except instead of black it was red it was really cool and yeah your genesis though from hyundai turns turn me all around on hyundai's like now i'm looking at Hyundai's because that thing was so, so fantastic. And that knob. Oh my gosh. I, what I found funny is driving around in it. You know, there's so many people that are car enthusiasts. Like people love cars, right? And they notice cars and you know, I've never driven the type of car where people notice it, right. Or stop to talk to you about it. But it was really fun for a week to drive a car where people were actually coming up to me and saying, what kind of car is that? Because they didn't really recognize it.

And then when I would say it's a Hyundai, they were like, oh my God. They were so impressed, so surprised. One guy thought it looked like a BMW. Someone else thought it looked like an Infiniti. People are commenting that they just didn't expect a car like that from Hyundai. And my husband drove it and he was blown away. He's like, I can't believe it. Was he allowed to drive it, Rose?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I actually told him straight up. Was he allowed to drive it, Rose? Oh yeah, yeah. I actually told him straight up. Does Patrick know? Patrick knows. Patrick actually even said to me. I'm talking to Patrick after this and make sure he knows. First of all, Patrick is like the coolest guy ever. He was like, he totally got me right away.

He zeroed in on, I think, the features that I was going to find, you know, the most useful. I love the Kilo Century thing. And he actually said, if anyone else, he pointed out to me, he goes, if your husband is going to find, you know, the most, the most useful. I love that. Love the Kielis entry thing. And he actually said, if anyone else, if he, he pointed out to me, he goes, if your husband is going to drive it, he showed me the two settings, the one, two. So, cause obviously I'm much smaller than him, so I could go setting one and have my mirrors and my phone, my, my phone and my presets and then the seat changes and then Scott could change it for him. So that was super cool. And then when we we the second thing patrick said was you're really

going to notice the performance of this car when you when you hit the highway and then we went to to hamilton and scott drove it and he was blown away he said the way it handles he was like wow this is a really cool car don't don't be upset i blew off patrick he wanted to do that i i just wanted the car like i didn't want the the dog and pony show i passed on it so I took the keys and said I'll see you in a week and then I left no see I kind of wanted it because I wanted someone to show me that stuff because I actually don't you know I I rose I'm so jaded by all these cards wait till you're me give me the damn keys all right we gotta move on these so the genesis you liked and I liked it too by the way like just an understatement I was sad to give it back I should give it to you my cell

phone was searching for it and I was like oh that's just way. Liked is an understatement. I was sad to give it back. They should give it to you. My cell phone was searching for it and I was like, oh, that's just sad. It's like looking for, where's the Genesis? I'm like, no, the Genesis is gone. Rose, I bought something a couple of weeks ago just before I went camping. A present for me? Yes, and I bought a second thing as well.

I also bought a new home. So I wanted to just update everybody that we bought. Yay, don't you have some sound effects? I thought they were cheesy. I also bought a new home. So I wanted to just update everybody that we bought. Yay! Don't you have some sound effects? I thought they were cheesy. I stopped using them. I have such great sound effects. Totally joking. I never know when to break that one out, for example. Congratulations. Tell us everything about it. Just it's a nice three bedroom detached in New Toronto, which for those who don't know it's like mimico but like the other

side of uh dwight avenue so it's like islington and lakeshore yeah it's just east of it's just east of mimico west of long right in between uh long branch and mimico south of tobiko it's it's beautiful area near the lake not far from where they filmed Police Academy. Oh, really? Yeah. It's nice because, you know, where you are, I find that area, New Toronto, Long Branch, it's super cool because all like the funky, trendy startup restaurants, boutiques that used to open on like Queen West, then moved to Queen West West,

then moved to like, you know, Ronci and Parkdale and that have been completely pushed out because rents have just gone higher and higher and higher. Guess where they're popping up? New Toronto, Long Branch, and that stretch on the lakeshore. Every time I drive there, you see some new funky new place opening and you are like right in the hotbed of it. You're right, but there's still some pretty sketchy dives going on there, Rose.

Neighborhood in transition. I think it's interesting. I just don't want to sugarcoat it too much because I saw the peeler bar and then the old guys staggering out of there. Mike, I'm surprised at you. Come on. It was pretty sketchy. Character. It's character. Mike, I'm surprised at you. Come on. It was pretty sketchy. Character.

It's character. Rose, I put my money where my mouth is. I just purchased over half a million dollars I invested in that neighborhood. Yeah, you're rich. You're rich. The bank owns most of it. Okay, so we bought a house.

Congratulations. And I have a question for you, Rose, because I trust your opinion on things. So I was invited to a party at my wife's boss's house. So the CEO of the company my wife works at. It's like the big gun. He's a co-founder and CEO. So he's a big gun.

And it's a beautiful waterfront property in Mississauga. And he's right on the water. Beautiful. But he has a pool. So I saw on Google, she gets invited to this party. I'm like, I'm going to this party. Cool. And I saw him.

So was it like a party for, it was a big party and spouses were invited? Yeah, spouses were invited. It was for certain members of the company, not the whole company. But like, yeah. Some get to know you event he does every year or something. That's really nice. It was very nice. Catered and everything.

So I saw on Google Maps that it had a pool so i via google maps i see there's a pool in this guy's backyard a lot i thought maybe there might be because it's a very expensive you know five million dollar home or something so i brought my trunks now i went to this party i arrived in my regular shorts back up back up yeah the invitation to the party what did it say on the invitation no it didn't say anything about swimming on the invitation. Okay. All right. Go on.

No, did not. But I arrived at the party in my regular shorts, my cargo shorts, and the swimming trunks are in the car because I'm going to, I'm not stupid enough to arrive in my swimsuit and dive in. I'm going to like take the temperature, if you will. I'm going to, yeah. So we're there a bit and I see this, the most gorgeous, Rose, I'm going to show you a picture in a minute. I tweeted a picture. It's the most gorgeous

pool you've ever seen. I'm going to, most gorgeous pool you've ever seen. Is it an infinity pool? I don't know what that is. Like the kind that it's, it's like,

it looks like the edge of it's going over the horizon of the, of the water. So it doesn't look like there's an edge. They're like the hot thing now. I'm just saying,

cause you're saying it's a super rich person. So, all right. I'm about to look at a picture. Looking at a picture of, oh, wow. Okay, that's gorgeous. So is that the most beautiful pool you've ever seen?

It's not an infinity pool, but basically you could see the lake right. Yeah, you can see the CN Tower if you look to the left. Stunning. Oh my God, that's gorgeous. Gorgeous, gorgeous. So I'm going to this house. And so I have the trunks in the car just in case. I don't know. I wait about, I think I waited 20 minutes or so. But then I got the ear of the CEO who, by the way, I have a good rapport with this guy.

I once blogged about an open house at his company where they have an open bar and stuff. And he was very like positive about this. Like genuinely positive? Yeah, he's not your typical CEO. Got's not his eyes aren't full of bullshit you know why because he's a co-founder which means at the heart he's a developer of this stuff totally he's not just a corporate no he wasn't hired in or whatever headhunted in so okay he at some point i just mentioned like where is this going can i swim in the pool and he said yeah sure maybe yeah i think i don't know how he said it but i got i felt like i got a thumbs up is the way i left this conversation bottom line is i

slip away which i'm good at doing i kind of disappear and then i come back in my trunks and then i wait a little bit nobody's going in this pool but then at some point i just dive in okay so i'm in this pool now it's the most gorgeous sunny day, beautiful pool. I'm having a, I couldn't believe it. It was heaven because I love to swim and I'm in this gorgeous pool on the lakefront. It's fine. It just so happens that for the rest of the day, I was the only person to go in this pool. Like no one else went in this pool. So my question to you is, is it okay? Because later the owner guy said to me, he called me a rock star and he said, I wished more people had used the pool. That's the quote I got later. He goes, you're

a rock star. He goes, I wish more people had used the pool. So what is your thoughts on this, Rosie? My thoughts on that is, you asked. I did ask. You asked. It's sort of his own fault that no one used the pool because if you're having... It should have of his own fault that no one used the pool because... It should have been in the invitation. If you're going to have a party with a beautiful pool and you want people to use it, you need to write in the invitation. Which I believe is an oversight. It wasn't that

he didn't want the pool used. It was ready for use. I think it was an oversight. See, this is where we're going to disagree. I don't think it was an oversight. This is a smart man who knows how to throw a party. I doubt this is his first event he's had at his home. I'm going to say this. I don't think he actually wanted people to swim in the pool because if he did, he would have made it clear on the invitation because people can't swim unless they bring their swimming attire. So I actually don't

think he wanted people to swim in the pool. I don't think he was going to say no. And I think once you did it, he thought it was probably okay. He called me a rock star. Well, you know, I think he's probably a gracious man. So he doesn't want to embarrass you. Best swim ever. I started doing laps under the sun. You asked.

I could see the CN Tower. It was so amazing. But I'm the only person who got in that pool. Yeah. I thought i'd be like like i don't want to associate with something so important as civil rights but for a moment i felt like i'm rosa parks here i'm the first no darling no no no no this is somebody's private home it's not the it's not the bus it's i felt like i'm a bit others would follow my lead and

jump in yeah but nobody did no no all right so a second question that's similar, but this has to do with our mutual friend Elvis. Elvis. How is Elvis? He's going to, where is he going? Name Asian countries. Is he going to Singapore? Singapore. Are you fucking kidding me?

He's going to Singapore. No, you can swear. It's okay. I'll take it out in the editing room. But that's ridiculous that I said that. It's very good, by the way. He's going to Singapore for like three weeks plus or something anyways he's he says he can't record your blog sucks for all of august oh your boys are gonna be so sad we'll get back

yeah that's fine we're gonna build up good content uh three weeks goes by fast please and then i'll have a new podcast studio by the time it gets back i can't wait i'm so excited so can i swim in the pool? I don't have a pool. Oh, this pool. No, no. I forgot. Your new house doesn't have a pool. That's the saddest part of leaving here. So Elvis lives in Oshawa, which was a very long drive, but that's not what this is about. He was far more north than I expected from the 401. I didn't know it'd be so north, but anyway. He's home yeah okay i i had been there but i'd never driven myself i think he drove me last anyways i'm there and it's a birthday party for elvis and the neighbor comes over the husband and wife who live next door come over okay they're at the party a very short time and the male neighbor he grabs a beer he doesn't actually open the beer

does not open this i feel this to be a key detail he doesn't open the beer but he was there maybe i think 10 minutes and then he mentioned his wife wanted to go or something and the husband and wife left the party and went home but he took the beer with him unacceptable unacceptable so it was great discussion at the barbecue after they left i mean unless elvis and him have a thing where they do that all the time no no but i i think that's unacceptable they didn't seem that much of a thing at all but uh very nice they were invited because they're the neighbors and they came they left very quickly we don't know why but he did not open that beer at the party if he had opened the beer at the party he can bring it right it's not his home it's not

a refrigerator it's not a it's not a 7-Eleven. He didn't, my God, that's so, and also to go to someone's home as a guest at a party, the very minimum you do is have a drink. You have a drink. You open the beer, you have a drink. Even if you don't finish it, it's part of being civil. It's part of just being gracious.

To take it and leave is about the tackiest thing I've ever heard. So that was the discussion. I wanted to know what you thought. I feel, I feel like the rule is very clear that you, you don't get the take beer to go, but I feel like if he had opened it at the party and taking his first sip at the party.

Sure. And wandered home. Yeah, sure. Of course. Absolutely. Taking it unopened. But even that is a bit tacky too.

You know, like you, what you're, are you so busy? The wife had to go. Oh, please. Who you so busy? Maybe the wife had to go. Oh, please. Who's that busy? You can't finish a beer.

Come on. Like, that's just in bad taste. Like, obviously, there's an emergency. But you know what? If there's actual emergency, you're going to leave the beer. You're not going to take the beer with you. Oh, my gosh. Very tacky.

Not impressed. I wondered what you thought of that. So your husband had season's tickets for TFC. His buddy, Jeff, he, yes, Jeff actually had them. They were in Jeff's name, but Scott and him shared them and, um, went for a long time. And then, um, yeah, it's got, uh, Scott, uh, gave them up. Is it, um, it's just the team really, it's also timing. Like he didn't really have the time anymore to commit to going to all the games.

But he lost a lot of its, it's fun to go, and it's definitely a fun buzz there. But the problem is, you know, it's like to follow them that religiously, they just got too bad, you know? Okay, on that note, so Elvis has season's tickets to TFC, and they're in the supporters section. And every year he takes me to a game. What's the supporter section? It's like a special section where they have like drummers and they have flags are like legal and they have chants.

So they have a guy in a megaphone who leads you in songs and chants. Oh, so it's that awful section where you can act like an idiot and it doesn't matter. Got it. Okay. That's exactly right, Rose. So it makes it more, you know, you're in like a, it's like being at one of those plays where you're brought into the play. Like you got a chance and you do these French chants to the other part of the section. And there's a whole thing.

And you got all these chants that the guy goes, okay. So he couldn't make it. He's gone forever for a long time. So I took Monica. So what I was surprised to find out, first of all, the best game, I've been to a few exciting TFC matches, but I've never been at a game where we scored in the 87th minute to tie it and then we won it in injury time.

So it was torrential downpour. That's crazy. And it was a monsoon. I had never been so wet. I was soaked and we score this winning goal in injury time or jumping up and down like we had just won some championship or something. And then I find out on the drive home and I had no idea because I don't follow TFC.

You know what I found out? What? That was the first win at BMO Field for TFC in over a year. That's mental. I had no idea. I don't follow this team. Clearly, I had no clue how important that win was. Think of all those poor people that have been going and not seeing any goals.

And then you go and you see a goal. That's hilarious. Gosh, everybody must have gone bananas. I not only saw the goal, which was 420 minutes in the making. I saw two goals and a victory, which it's been over a year at BMO Field. It is fun there, though. It is fun. Once you're there, you think, oh, God.

But it was the same thing like the Blue Jays. Everyone's so down on them. But then you go to a game. And actually,. It is fun. It is. Once you're there, you think, Oh God, but it was the same thing like the, the blue Jays. Everyone's so down on them, but then you go to a game and actually it's really fun. The buzz is amazing. It's actually, it's better than, um,

we went to a game. We took Nicholas to his first baseball game, uh, a couple of weeks ago. Actually it was, yeah, it was the, the,

I think it was the Friday just before you guys left to go camping. It was, it was, Oh my God. And I had no, I did not think he would sit through, I thought we'd be there for two innings

and we'd be gone. Oh my gosh. He sat through six innings. It was the cutest thing you've ever seen. He was sitting in his chair like watching the baseball game. He's three?

He's three. Now, we had the iPad. The iPad helped. Oh, Rose. We did have the iPad, but he was looking around

and, you know, giving high fives. It was adorable, but I was just surprised at, I haven't been to a Blue Jay game in years, that it actually

felt more revitalized than I ever remember it feeling. It used to feel, when I used to work at the Sky Dome, sometimes we'd go down to the games, like the day games and stuff and the odd evening game. And it just always felt really dead back in those years. And now it's really, people are really excited about them. So whether or not the team is- Can I tell you what happened? I don't even pay attention.

Are they doing well again? No, no, no. Actually, worse than ever. It was actually kind of, it was funny, the game we excited about them. So whether or not the team is, can I tell you what happened? I don't even pay attention. Are they doing well again? No, no, no, actually worse than ever. It was actually kind of, it was funny. The game,

we saw two home runs. Scott says to Nicholas, it's never going to get better than this. Like, here you go. And then they ended up losing. It was, we didn't stay till the end.

We left it. It was awful. Since the all-star, they're horrible. Unless they're playing Houston. They're actually horrible. They're horrible. It was Tampa Bay,

the game I saw. Yeah, that's a decent team. They're kicking our ass right now. So yeah, the Jays suck, actually. But what happened was, I think all that Kool-Aid we all drank, that I drank, you drank, my brother drank, everybody drank in February or whatever. I drank it. I know that.

And I think that Kool-Aid caused a lot of ticket sales. It was a lot of buzz, a good marketing, if you will, I suppose. And a lot of people bought tickets. And I if you will, I suppose, and a lot of people bought tickets and I think we're seeing the crowds, the residual effect of that Kool-Aid drinking

pre-season buzz that we were the World Series team. Yep, definitely. I mean, it's, you know, I still think it's good. It's better to have that

than these. It's good. I mean, I like the team and I want it to stay here and i want it to do well i root for them i'm going to a game on september 28th it is fun i have to say it is a fun and especially when it's a beautiful you know it's a beautiful summer night it really is a nice activity do you know that we paid 30 to park 30 rose i don't even i'm losing

i feel sick mike mike actually why did you park at the dome? Mike actually just paled He just paled Because I can tell you Some good I can tell you some good $10 spots with a little walk We know the spots It was one of those things

Where you know With the little guy Meeting my dad Timing issue We just had to Sometimes you just have to You have to eat it Right?

It was one of those things We fully You know I know For 20 bucks I would have dropped you off And picked you up You had gone camping You weren't around.

Oh, crap. No, it was, wow. Yeah, it was expensive. But whatever. That's the big city. What are you going to do? Well, that sounds good. I'm glad that little, little, little N.

Do we have a name for this guy? I can't remember if you've disclosed the name. I think I've said it three times today. I forgot my list of rules. We can call him Little Nick. Little Nicky. So I'm glad he got to his first game. First of many.

He's very cute. Now, do you typically, this is to change gears radically here, but do you typically look at male genitalia on the internet? Be honest with this Toronto Mic'd audience. No, I don't. It is not in my bookmarks. So you don't search for like penis. I don't start my day Googling male.

Because I'm sure there's lots of penis on the internet if you were to look for it. Nope, never happened. It's well. Well, tell us a story because i have a feeling uh i felt a disturbance in the forest like rose was looking at penis on the internet poor mike mike and i we make our notes for the show during the week in a shared document and you know he'll put something in i'll put something in as it comes to mind and i put something in the other day and i thought i wonder what mike's gonna think when he reads, I couldn't help but look at Anthony Weiner's penis. I always laugh at his name.

It's a perfect name for a guy who shows his penis. You couldn't make it up. Here's the thing. So all that Anthony Weiner stuff, I actually couldn't believe. Is it Weiner or Weiner? It's Weiner. Yeah, that makes it even more ridiculous.

Yeah. No, it's Weiner. So, you know, all the scandal happened with him before and he had to resign as being a congressman because of his sext, which I also find hilarious that the word sext is now, it's a word, it's just a word. It's a word, like a real word. It's, it cracks me up. Um, and then I was working and I always have the news on in the background. And then

I, you know, I see in the corner of my eye, Wiener at a podium apologizing. And I'm like, I wonder why they're showing it. And I'm like, oh my gosh, he did it again. It happened again. Just so egregious. I can't believe how stupid it's a slippery slope such a slippery slope so you know of course the new that you know have you ever sexted it's a no god that to me that's like well first of all my I've never had a phone I've never had a phone barely capable of it right so we've just got I've just got a phone that you know can maybe take a picture although I haven't taken a picture with it in forever, but December 1st, new phone. So yeah.

So then I was like, wow, I can't believe this guy. And then, you know, the news media is talking about it and on and on. And then I keep hearing about how he's like a penis artist, the way he can photograph his penis and make it look so huge and the angles he uses. And apparently, um, um, what rapper, one rapper was like admiring him for the way he, you know, photographs it.

And I was like, Does he put makeup on the sides to shade it or whatever? I kept hearing so much about this penis picture and I'm like, you know what? I have to,

I have to find this penis picture. So there I go. My first time ever having to Google it. So I Google and I can't even believe I'm looking for it. And I Google

Anthony Weiner penis. I would have Googled Anthony Weiner's weiner. I Google Anthony Weiner's penis. And then everyone's calling them dick pics, but that's so gross. I can't even bring myself to, I honestly couldn't bring myself to type dick pic. Well, you're not at work.

It's okay. They're not going to check your logs. I know, but it's like my own like personal like dignity. I'm like, I can't type dick pic. I can't type cock. I'm not going to type cock. Like that's just gross. I can't believe you said it.

I know. Okay, so you found this? You found Wiener's Wiener? So first I find pictures like from that website, The Dirty, that we originally broke them. But it's all blurred out. So I see the picture, but it's all blurred out. And so at first I'm like, okay, well maybe that's as good as it gets, right? And then I'm like, no, I want to see it unblurred.

Now I'm just like, I need to see it. Yeah, you want to see this penis. I need to see it. And then I found it. no, I want to see it unblurred. Now I'm just like, I need to, I need to see, I need to see it. You want to see this penis. I need to see it. And then I found it. Actually, it wasn't, it wasn't that hard. I just had to scroll down. Apparently they had the blurry ones and then you scroll down and there was the uncensored ones and I saw it.

And then I was, ew, ew, ew. But is it, I mean, I know, you know, I'm not, I'm just mean like as a doctor, like is it an attractive, I don't mean you're like sexually, like clinically, is that an attractive penis? Here's the thing. It was a penis there, but what was, the problem is it was all gross because you could see his hairy thighs and then his feet. So you see like penis, which he's holding, I guess to make it look like bigger and then hairy thighs and feet.

And it actually just made me. Did you have like a quarter or something so we could have a frame of reference? I actually read, somebody wrote that. Somebody was like, there should really be some sort of frame of reference. So wait, okay. So you don't give... The penis, you were unimpressed by this penis.

It's not that... You know what? I'm not... It's a fine penis. It's like an arm. Is it flaccid? It's like... No.

So was it erect? It was, yeah. I'm using the doctor's term here. So it was an erect penis. It's like seeing it. To me, it's just like, I don't know why men do this. It's not, it's not like it's obviously to arouse him. It's not to arouse her.

Like it is not. He probably likes the idea of her looking at it. Exactly. Exactly. But to me, it's just like seeing his arm or his thigh. It was just something a bit gross about it all. And then I'm like, ew. And then I don't know why I did this. It was this

really sort of like, like cruel thing that I did, but my mom was over and I'm like, mom, I have to show you something. I don't know why I did this to her. It's so mean. And I'm like, you know that guy, you know, Anthony Weiner. And she's like, oh, and I was like, do you want to see the picture? And she was like, what does she think of this penis? Oh, her, her reaction was so funny. First, she's like, what am I looking at? She's like, so funny first she's like what am i looking at she's like i can't even really tell what i'm looking at and then she's like but it's she was like how could it be that big she thought it was a huge oh that's not good for your old man they're not together anymore clearly we know why it was more i think it was just the optics of it

she didn't feel in in contrast to the thighs that that was possible. And then she, her reaction was so funny. Funny, older people make me laugh. Nothing really shocks them. She was just like, hmm,

oh, okay. That's funny. There's a bit on YouTube I saw where these three old ladies look at the Kim Kardashian sex video and they talk about it and it's pretty frigging funny. So you gave thumbs down to Anthony.

It was fine, Wiener, but it's not for you. It's, you know, no, no. But I would have to admit I was curious. I don't think I'll ever look for pictures like that again. That's funny, Rose. He's gross.

He's gross. Stop looking at naked men on the internet, Rose, please. I wonder if, it will be interesting to see what happens. You know, you can't, like, I really actually believe you can't believe polls. And they say, you know, now he's dropped to four. I've stopped believing polls completely. Absolutely. They're wrong more often than they're right now.

Exactly. It's so true. And I totally agree. And which makes me wonder, you know, when this election happens, will secretly men think, like, identify with him and vote for him? You know, like, I don't think women, I don't think a woman would vote for him unless, you know, he was someone who was, you know, really actively doing something for you in your area and you supported him locally. Unless they like the penis.

I don't know. But I have to admit, I'm very curious to see if Christine Quinn will win and if he will be a close second or if he really will be in fourth and the other two. I don't know. It certainly made it interesting. I honestly am not following it at all. It is just shocking. It is just shocking how someone could throw something away. You know, he had it.

He came back and then he threw it all away. Speaking of penises, the royal penis created a baby last week while I was camping. Do you care at all about this royal baby? Some people seem to really dig this story. I don't care about it at all. No, I do like the history of the royals. And, you know, having been to London, I thought Buckingham Palace and the Orange Tree were gorgeous, gorgeous places.

But no, I find the media obsession with like the celebrity of the young royals gross. It's just the Kardashians, but different, right? I mean, these are very well... My problem with the Royals is this whole new thing now, how they're like the common people. No, they're not. They're so... They're wealthy beyond anything we can imagine. They don't understand what it's like to be a common person.

So I find that all a bit, you know, whatever. It's all silly. It's all silly. However, I did like one thing that... And I did, you know, I love babies, right? So when they did come out of the hospital with the baby, I did watch that and I liked it because, you know, he's just a little thing. You know, you can't even imagine that he met, like he doesn't even know what is, you know, what's in store for his life.

But it's just neat to see this like sweet little thing because I like all babies. Babies are, babies are cute. You're pro baby. I'm all babies. Babies are, babies are cute. You're pro baby. I'm pro baby. But I thought it was really cool that, um, um, Kit, no, not Kim, Kate came out of the hospital wearing, um, a dress and you never see this. Certainly celebrities that have, you know, babies that go into hiding, you know, even, you know, Princess Diana wore like a big shift dress, but she wore a dress that showed her stomach quite clearly. And most, you know, people think that after you have a baby, your stomach

deflates. It doesn't? No, you please, your, your ex-wife had your two children, you know what a stomach looks like. I honestly can't remember. Well, it doesn't deflate, But I even remember, even like myself, being like, huh, look at that.

Still looks like I'm nine months pregnant. How long does it last? Not too long. I mean, everybody's different. Will monicas go flat? Everybody's different. Breastfeeding helps.

Breastfeeding helps your stomach get flatter faster. At least I think so. But the thing is, is that I thought it was cool that she didn't try to hide it. You could still see that she had this like

big, big, big tummy. And I think that's good because I've never seen, I've actually never seen that before. You're right. Women know it's normal. Like it's typical. Exactly. Because it's, it's, there's such an obsession with our culture to get back to your, you know, lose the baby, lose the, and you know what? It's actually really, pregnancy is a killer on the body. You can get back to your normal self, but, you know, it's different for everybody. And I think it was kind of neat that she showed her tummy. That being said, I'm mad at her because she ruined something for me.

I want you to look at me and describe to our viewers what I'm wearing, or listeners, what I'm wearing. It's a blue dress with yellow polka dots. Okay. And it has an empire. Now we'll get into more of the fashion stuff that dots. Okay. And it has an empire. Now we'll get into more of the fashion stuff that Mike won't have. It has an empire waist.

And it's very similar to the dress that Kate wore when she left the hospital. Now, the difference is, is hers was handmade for her by Jenny Packham and has no price. Whereas mine was, I think, $20 at Target. Having bought this dress six months ago having loved this dress now when i wear this dress everyone thinks that i bought it because oh i hear you and i hate shit like that because i never buy styling my stuff i like not because celebrities wear it and so i'm annoyed because now this dress is ruined for me so i'm retiring it after today just like you had to google anthony's wer. I have to Google this dress. I haven't

actually seen a picture of this dress. I haven't seen her in her belly with the baby yet. I was unplugged that entire week. I missed the whole thing, but I will check it out. That does suck. Don't you? And I love this dress. Like I've worn this dress many, many times. And now everyone thinks this dress, I bought this dress because it's like Kate. And so it's cute. They're only going to think that for like two weeks and they're going to forget. I don't care what people think anyways. just that's funny just funny I have a public service announcement for the Toronto mic listenership I could use my I know that was a I could do it I don't know why I'm so into sound effects today you don't have to it's fine

too late Rose okay Too late, Rose. Okay. On Thursday, August 1st, you're all, all of you, and me, and you, Rose, everyone you care about is invited to a parade in honor of Mimico native Dave Boland. Woo! So the parade, there's a Boland and the Stanley Cup,

and it's going to be on a fire truck, and it begins at 2pm at Royal York and Mimico Avenue and then it travels down Mimico Avenue to Mimico Square so exciting so I felt we should close that communication loop since last time we recorded we said we should do that

and I am actually going to be at the Art Gallery of Ontario at 2 o'clock on Thursday so I don't think I can be in Mimico but go take a picture to be at the Art Gallery of Ontario at 2 o'clock on Thursday. So I don't think I can be in Mimico. So you're not going to go? Go take a picture. I'm at the Art Gallery. I have to go for a work purpose. Oh, that sucks.

I was going to say, text us. Because we are going to go. We have to vote first because there's a by-election in our writing. My future writing, by the way. I know. You don't have to vote this time, but you will. We'll be in the same writing room.

I know. That's fair. So I have to vote this time, but you will be in the same writing room. I know. So I have to. Yeah. So I have to vote. But then we're going to go to the take a picture for the Toronto Mike audience. I love voting. Right.

And so I get like all excited about voting. And I put so, you know, Scott's quite excited about to see the Stanley Cup in Mimico. So he's got I merged our calendars because we were having it was getting too confusing. And so he's got it in our calendar. And then I've got vote in our calendar and i've got to take out this huge block of time it's like you realize it takes five minutes that's right he's like we're going to be able to make both events you'll see especially the attendance for this one will be nice and low so you should be able to ride right up to exactly well um i think the name of that uh bar in mimico

we were trying to remember is the Blue Goose. Oh, that rings a bell. The Blue Goose. Yeah. Near the Go Station or whatever in Mimico. It's just a little place. It's a tiny little bar. I think it's been there for a really long time.

So thank you, Dave Bolin, for finally bringing the Stanley Cup back to Toronto. Now we just need you to do it again next year. Trying to convince Scott to bring his broken stick for Dave Bolland to autograph, finally. For sure. Rose, it was a pleasure recording this episode with you today. Likewise. That brings us to the end of our 46th show. You can follow me twitter at toronto mike and rosie at rosie in toronto bye for now see you next week
