Toronto's Molar Radio #32: Gasified and stood up.
What’s the hold-up? Sign up for the Secret Zanta Christmas CD exchange, already!
We’re thinking we’ll give everyone until the end of the year to sign up, and deal with mailing CDs in the new year. Everyone’s busy enough with holiday preparations, no?
And yes, eating on-mic is obnoxious, so this’ll mark the first and last time we annoy you with that. Didn’t the carbonation sound delicious, though?
I think the previous show was far more entertaining than this (could be we were glum about being stood up), but we do talk about some great movies and comics. It’s the (Almost) Everything’s Awesome show!

eating on the air = bad karma.

I’m falling in love with you two! Ah, how you make me miss Toronto.
Your chocolates sound divine and I am sure you were overcome with languor after indulging in those delights.
Thanks for the memories.

Agreed; it’s pretty obnoxious. In our defense, we only wanted to share the sounds of our fizzy chocolate experience. It won’t happen again! Granted, we’ll continue to quietly sip tea, as we always have, but no more food, and no gum. This is my pledge to you, asdga.

Shit Chris, I really liked The Weatherman.. a lot. Sure I thought it was a bit of a downer. But it was a GGGREEAT movie! And don’t give me any crap about not being enthusiastic enough after seeing the movie, I kept saying “man that was great” I don’t know how to be MORE enthusiastic!
Oh message to that guy I saw today: Hey guy with a Samurai Champloo hat playing Nintendo DS on the Subway… seriously dude chill out with the Nerd gear. I Peter the Mega Geek thought you were too nerdy to play videogames with. I actually had my copy of Mario Kart DS ready to go. I was going to invite you to race a few laps… until I noticed your fucking Pikachu keychain and assorted anime paraphernalia, dude leave that shit INDOORS… I’m seriously here. You were hitting that poor lady with your Jack Skelington coffin.

Hey Karen from Zee and Zed,
Thanks for the kindness, and great job with your show so far!
If there are any particular local sounds you’d like us to capture, just let us know. And if you keep throwing around words like languor, I’ll have to marry you under Canada’s polygamy laws. (You’ll recall that after the legalization of same-sex marriage and the subsequent Destruction of the Family, polygamy became legal, nay, mandatory, with Canadians forced to marry their grandparents and pets.)

Sorry for selling your enthusiasm short, Peter, but we’ve told you before: Come on the show and speak for yourself! We always end up trying to summarize your opinions. “Peter also gave it five Goods out of five.” Erin hasn’t seen Corpse Bride, so you’ll have to come discuss it when the DVD is out in January. Y’know, if we can remember anything about it.
Parasite Rex is on the list, too.
I didn’t even recall that Jack’s last name was Skellington, but what a great story. Out-geeked!

Hey CaugheyMachine,
Thank you for the kind words about our show and the threatening marriage proposal. I always knew Canada would be on the cutting edge of polygamy one day. Maybe George S. from the CBC can do a story on “Podcaster Polygamists”. He seems to really have his finger on the pulse of what’s happening.
I really miss the cattle prodding I used to endure from the friendly TTC personnel at Spadina station, as I boarded the southbound streetcar to get to work. A sound scene tour through China Town during morning rush hour would be a true anamnesis of Toronto for me.

Karen,
I do that Spadina commute every morning (I work on Spadina/Adelaide)
?Sadly? I miss most of of the scenery because I’m either reading or playing a videogame on the streetcar.
Pushy old chinese people are awsome though.
