Rob Ford, Part 1
(FYI the thing Mattie was trying to think of was "The Great Sun" of the Natchez. That was the thing but they read The Dawn of Everything a while ago and it was like 7am. Don't write

This man is a crack fueled human rhinoceros.
re-listening to this one and so charmed that November seems to think the goose poop Ford made the kids roll in had to have come from a goose farmer. this is Ontario, there's goose poop fucking everywhere. I'm not even convinced that the point of the rolling was the goose poop.
So many laughs, thanks for this!
I snerked at the Nathan Phillips joke, Riley
I have season tickets to the Montreal Alouettes, why u bully >_<
Please do Detroit’s Kwame Kilpatrick, Pittsburgh’s Bill Peduto, and Pittsburgh’s Mayor Ravenstahl aka Steelerstahl (who yes legally changed his name for football reasons)
LADS ITS IN E-MAYOR-GENCY, ERIC ADAMS IS GOING DOWN THE FEDS GOT HIM YOU HAVE TO SCHEDULE THE LIVE SHOW NOW
As a former Toronto resident who now lives in Ottawa under shockingly terrible mayor's here, thank you for this episode. If you ever want a spinoff episode, his brother is doing a bang up job as the province's Premier 🫠
I just feel like I need all the non-Canadians listening to this one to know that in Canada you'd be incredibly hard pressed to find a single highschool football field that WASN'T covered in goose shit. Which honestly I feel illustrates Rob Ford's whole deal a lot better. He wasn't the kind of guy to have some hairbrained scheme to make children roll in poo, but rather he was mad at the football children and there was a field full of poo and those dots get connected in his brain.
Genuinely sorry to bring this to your attention after you've recorded the episode, but you should know that Rob Ford had an enduring bromance with Wild Wing restaurants owner Rick Smicklas. Another grade A Toronto oaf. Rick's mid life project was spending an absurd amount of money on a "reality tv show" that was and will never be picked up called WingMen, but also sometimes called "Toronah" (which was the license plate on Rob Ford's blue Trans Am) You had better believe that Rob made a couple of appearances on the show. https://youtu.be/t45l9P24PRg?t=655 While truly difficult, mind numbing viewing, the complete series of WingMen is a perfect roadmap to the Ontario Oaf mind.
As all Canadians I was aware of this whole saga but I was also like 13-14 so it's nice to have a refresher on all the ontario oaf lore. I don't think I ever heard the parents basement stories, incredible stuff
I just remember Marion Barry being like f that guy, no, he is nothing like me, not even close
Maybe its because I've been replaying disco elysium but this guy sounds like if Harry du bois was somehow elected to be mayor of toronto
No Sun Gods, No Satraps
When Riley transitions you can become no gods, no males
as the token cis guy in my own friend group I have to say it's my least favorite bit
I usually sleep in until the last possible second before rolling out of bed to my laptop but today is like Christmas morning
