Rob Ford, Part 1
Added 2024-09-19 07:00:04 +0000 UTC
We continue our tour of maniac executives with The Most Mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford. In this episode, Mayor Riley guides Mattie and November from Rob's humble beginnings hanging out in suburban Ontario's most cursed basement up through the part of his life where they are tagging him like a wild rhinoceros. Part 2 will be right here on the Patreon, next Thursday.
(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

2024-12-18 19:25:45 +0000 UTCPlease do a Lyda Krewson episode! She was St. Louis' worst mayor in living memory, the McCloskey saga was a direct result of her awful response to the George Floyd uprising.

2024-09-26 03:23:29 +0000 UTCAs 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 🫠

2024-09-26 00:36:12 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-09-21 21:47:50 +0000 UTCGenuinely 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.

2024-09-21 19:57:24 +0000 UTCAs 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
