TORONTO MANS PODCAST

Arsy knocks out another wedding weekend with old friends, but as usual he’s got a list of gripes for y’all. That aside, you know Mans came with dancing heat to the reception. Later, Mans debate with Arsy after he presents arguments to establish his RSPF (Registered Single Persons Fund). Are the single TMPeeps feeling hard done by from the relationship homies?

Mans kick it off with Black Friday deals aka Brown Christmas. #ProducerTaus out here doing the most with online tech deals while Lala tried to slide into the big Rogers deal. Then, Mans get into the latest Spotify Wrapped stats - TMP edition. Much love to all the #fandem GLOBALLY for the support. Later, Mans cap it off with a World Cup update as Canada fizzles out.

Lala returns from the land of the rising sun and recounts some of his trip while Mans sprinkle in some anime. Later, World Cup 2022 in Qatar is off to a blazing start. We’ve seen some wild results and some upsets. Mans discuss the tourney so far with a lot of positives for our Canadian boys.

The struggle of buying pants as a brown man is real! These thunder thighs don’t play and Arsy finally had to cave into Lala’s advice and get some Lululemons (or should we say “Lala”lemons?). The mans breakdown the struggles of shopping as an average sized brown man and later do a deep dive on some of their favourite childhood snacks reminiscing about cocoa pebbles, slurpee flavours, Dickie Dee ice cream and more!

The mans are coming in hot on…well…hot people, and how annoying their romance advice is. Good looking dudes give dating tips that don’t make sense for the rest of us, and will get most people arrested. ASMR is getting a bit weird and the flood of soft core porn vids on social media is getting lazy and tired. Later the gang gets into why it seems that people have a hard time meeting new people in real life, and why dating apps are set up to cause you problems if you don’t use them mindfully.

The gang breaks down the secret world of Paid to Party Girls and how to combine them with Uber drivers to grow the #TMPeeps. Arsy also won Halloween with his The Rock turtleneck costume and the Mans talk about the best costumes they saw throughout a very bumping Halloween weekend. Also what’s the cut off for trick or treaters? How old do they need to be and what effort level is required for you to say “naw you ain’t getting $hit!”. Also the Mans are standing united with CUPE education workers and take a moment to say goodbye to the legend Takeoff of Migos. RIP.

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating! Hope y’all weren’t in the Malton melee…sh*t was wild. Also shout out to Environment Canada for the air quality advisory calling out Brampton for the unruly fireworks 😂. Later, it’s politics furreal. A brown man take the reigns in UK on Diwali, and your boy John Tory takes another mayoral race.

Gang finally got together and went live on TikTok while #ProducerTaus slowly destroyed Lala’s new crib. Galen Weston (evil billionaire) tried to pull a fast one on Canadians. Y’all votin’? Municipal elections are coming up and your boy Arsy thinks he should run. Later, we wanna know if you have a side of the bed. Finally, Arsy goes out on Queen West and was not impressed.

Draymond at it again punching his teammate in the face - with no punishment - plus a Thanksgiving weekend that had a major heartbreak caused by the Blue Jays. Mans also look at some dating formats for Arsy - praying Seema Aunty can help him out. Later, Mans deal with a basement draft to close it out 🤙🏾

Arsy’s cheesed about all the weddings and showers he’s had to go to over the years, and now Mans tryna recoup all the money he’s dished out - look out for an invite to Arsy’s fake ass party 😂. Also, y’all know what the right jacket is for fall? Mans are cold, sweating, cold, all in the span of 30mins. Shits confusing AF. Later Mans drill down on the newly released Michelin guide for Toronto. 13 spots got stars, while 74 others made it on to the guide. Y’all feelin the list?

The hiatus is over. After an eventful few weeks, Mans ventured out to BC and married off your boy #ProducerTaus. From rollin dutty in the red corvette, flaming the bride tribe in the speech, boozy party buses, to a windmill-worm dance floor combo - you know Mans lit it up. Special shout out to the Whalley neighbourhood of Surrey for showing Arsy what time it is. Big congratulations to #ProducerTaus and his lovely wife 🥳🫶🏾💕

The countdown is on until Producer Taus ties the knot in Van City. Man is so focused on his nuptials that he didn’t join us for recording. Priorities all messed up so Arsy & Lala had to put him on notice they coming for him in his wedding speech! Later mans get into Bill Burr, WWE, and the history of the city’s love hate relationship with the CNE

This week, Mans take it wayyy back to youthful days and tell the tales of their first encounter with a nudie mag. Some Mans even finessed a subscription 👀. Fast forward and Mans are feeling the effect of age, soreness of the 30s, and dangers of walking and texting. Your boy Arsy got caught lackin on the skreets and rubbernecked his way to a twisted ankle. Finally, Taus takes us back to Gerrard street. Even though we got pockets of brown areas across the GTA, Little India flexes hit different.

After a couple weekends of music festivals, shit seemed to really hit the fan. Whether at Kingstonfest or KultureLand, or even Drizzy’s semi OVOfest, people were cheeeesed fam. Mans chop it up over the whole slew of issue’s concert goers had to deal with and more. With the opening weekend of EPL and a looming Qatar World Cup on the horizon, you know Lala had to get some footy talk in. Also look out for Arsy tryna marry your cousin trying to get a free stay in Qatar during the cup. Later Mans deal with some Kim and Pete breakup talk, would you date a girl with an only fans, and Bollywood double standards.

The Mans recap Caribana Weekend including producer Taus partying like a 20 year old, and discuss how fast the summer is moving. Later we get into the resurgence of disco sounds in new music and the dominance of micro-audiences in entertainment.

Caribana, OVO, Veld! The City is Litty this weekend and the Mans breakdown whose in town and what’s going down along with a much needed homage to the Canadian Hip Hop veterans who paved the way for TO to be a music powerhouse. Later, we discuss bike tickets in High Park, the Raps signing a Netflix star, and imagine if the next GTA franchise took place…in the GTA! Would you play?

The Mans are feeling pressed about the Ticketmaster “dynamic pricing” and hypebeasts making OVO Fest tix stupid expensive. And this summer heatwave taking over the world ain’t helping, especially because the AC situation in a brown house is a mess. Lucky Arsy finally listened to Lala and bought some Lululemon shorts!

Where were you when the wasteyutes at Rogers took us all offline for a day! The Mans talk how it hurts extra in the burbs. Later the Mans try to find the comedy in yet another wave around the corner, and clown Dr.Kieran Moore’s antics.

Arsy shares his adventures of returning to La Belle Province after 2 years away. Later the Mans recap the results of sauce madness and defend the mt.saucemore results!

After 4 gruelling weeks and countless hot takes from these tasteless bastards, Mans finally wind it all down and complete the bracket to answer the timeless question - which sauces belong on Mount Saucemore? AND, Mans crown a top sauce to rule them all 👑

When Mans had to link up, a sweaty situation ensued - prompting a deodorant debate 😂. Also, you know Mans had to cover Drizzy the genius and his new album that has polarized the city. Mans also put some respect on Chef Curry and the 4th ring. Later, Mans jump into the 4th shelf of TMP Sauce Madness as we lock it in and prep for the final showdown. Remember to vote on the IG poll! 🤙🏾

After a much needed week of recovery, Mans are back and at it with weekend shenanigans. After going to a close friend’s wedding, Arsy recounts being the “safety” friend growing up with his crew in PK (believable? 🤔). The comedy scene was also bumpin in the city - y’all catch the Nimesh Patel or Hasan Minhaj shows? A collective 10 shows between them over one weekend is huge 👏🏾👏🏾. Arsy also fills us in on his upcoming shows. Later Mans jump into Shelf 3 of TMP Sauce Madness bracket. Keep the votes coming as we drop the brackets every week! 🤙🏾

If you’re listening to this it’s too late. After a pre flight drip trip to Yorkdale, Mans are on route to TMB and #ProducerTaus might not make it back 😎. Mans jump into final prep before they take off to Sin City along with a bit of Champions League final chatter. Later, Mans run the 2nd shelf of #SauceMadness pt.2.

This week Mans jump right into a dish in the sink debate. Y’all gonna have to help settle that one. Then, Mans react to a TikTok yute criticizing the downtown Tdot scene and share their personal fav spots. Later, it gets hairy with some brown man grooming issues - and it gets bloody 🩸👀

The weather finally turned and Arsy is on a mission to get in shape before the TMB extravaganza. Mans are outchea and so is the city. With summer around the corner, new music is on deck and Mans cover some selections. Later Mans talk about an upcoming music festival and Arsy getting finessed - again - by his moms on Mother’s Day 💐

After a much needed week off where #ProducerTaus got COVID KO’d, the Mans are back and refreshed.

Later, Mans get hyped for TMB and then finish off with a nod to this year’s Raptors season finale. Eid Mubarak y’all ✊🏾

This week #ProducerTaus takes some visitors on a T.O. food tour and they obviously had to hit up Federicks - except they had a suboptimal experience. Lala hit up another brown wedding and had a quality chai experience - prompting Mans to breakdown a chai gauntlet. Later, Mans touch on the Raps first few playoff games (Yaaaa, but s’all good…we still got that chip ✊🏾)

It’s Arsy’s dance out the mid 30s - make sure to send him gifs (not a typo lol). Mans reflect on another yr around the sun for Arsy and needing a do-over of the last 2 yrs. Then mans discuss interest rates going up, the real estate market, trash agents, and more. It’s vent sesh y’all 🤙🏾

Another year, another Ramadan szn. But after a couple weird yrs, things are feeling a bit normal and mans are breaking fast together again 🙏🏾. Arsy rants on everything from biryani burps to getting scammed for a takeaway bag. Later mans somehow find their way into a heavy sauce discussion…and now we have the makings of “Sauce Madness”. tune in as they break it down over the comings weeks 🤙🏾

Yes what else…the Mans GOTTA get into “slap gate” with the funniest breakdown and takedown yet. And Arsy was live on scene as Canada qualified for the World Cup? What a Sunday!

This time around, Mans HAD to deal with a brewing topic. Now that Arsy finally watched Love is Blind S2, Mans went into it breaking down each couple - and obvi, Deepti & Shake. Too much to lay out here… but you know the deal - press play.

Brown parent guilt runs deep. Y’all know about all the layers of family obligations, like the constant airport pick ups and drop offs. Mans discuss Arsy’s recent dilemma as he joined another family airport welcoming party. Later, Mans discuss WWE legend Scott Hall’s passing, those waste ass immersive art shows we’ve been having downtown, and a couple of curveball games to top it off.

An unfortunate couple weeks in the books as Putin popped off in Ukraine. Mans jump into borderline ww3 talk and the f*ckery in Eastern Europe. Later, Mans get into quintessential tdot tweets, potential return to work ish, and Lala throws a good curveball at Arsy.

Mans finally made their way back to a gym and it only took 2 years. The boys riff on getting back to the gym and bring up past gym exploits. #ProducerTaus also beefs about grocery store choices. Later mans dive into a few recent TV selections they’ve been drilling into 👀

The 2022 NBA All-Star weekend definitely had some memorable moments, but we can probably all agree that dunk-off was straight 💩. Mans dive into this years festivities and compare it to them old joints. Later, Mans feel inspired by the Weeknd’s bday festivities in Vegas and discuss #ProducerTaus’ potential bachelor party plans.

The mans break down the rules of, and their secret love for Curling, including some very funny playing experiences. Later they share their thoughts about this years Winter Olympics, Lala tells a story about flying while brown, and they weigh in on the Freedom Convoy with some hot takes!

Ayyyyoo TMPeeps… It’s Episode 50! For this milestone episode, mans take y’all back to how it all started. How mans met, how the show came about, and the usual amount of shenanigans and #ProducerTaus abuse. We wanna thank all the #TMPeeps for coming on this amazing journey of Season 1 with us! The mans are taking a little hiatus and will be back with Season 2 soon! Catch up on all your fav episodes until then. WE OUT! PEACE!

Whatup TMPeeps?! Arsy found a new pizza gem that prompts a bit of a Toronto pizza scene breakdown🍕. Why doesn’t Toronto have its own style pizza?! Then, Arsy reveals his secret man crush on Jason Statham and gives a great movie idea that could help us buy the 407 back 🚗. Later, mans jump into a bit of a dating etiquette discussion 💕. Do ppl owe each other a text after a first date even if y’all ain’t feelin? Would y’all run a 2nd date if you’re on the fence? And break up texts..we know they ain’t easy. Do y’all use templates lol 😬?? All that, and then some on this weeks edition of TMP 🤙🏾

What up TMP Fandem! This week mans jump in with Lala recounting his weekend away with some homies, the planning in its many iterations, ultimately resulting in an often overlooked Canadian destination ✈️. Y’all know trying to plan a trip is hard, and it’s even hard trying to coordinate a crew of Scarborough yutes 😂. Then, Mans transition to stories of past elementary school, exchange program, and high school trips around Ontario and Quebec, and conclusion? - Arsy had some weeeird classmates, fam 👀. #ProducerTaus even joins the action with some “growing up in Pakistan” school trip tales. Finally, Mans cap it off with some serious talk on the current and highly volatile situation in Afghanistan. Peace and love y’all ✌🏾🙏🏾

Ayo TMPeeps! Mans are back to discuss how fast summer is going by (how is it August already?!?), Messi’s departure (Lala called it with his PSG prediction) and getting haircuts back in the day (who else got theirs at Cut Creator?). After the break, mans have an intervention for Producer Taus and his Coke Zero addiction and Lala shares a story about his East African fam having Coke with peanuts?! Mans end off the show with their favourite Saturday morning cartoons. Listen to all this and more of the mans antics on this week’s episode of the Toronto Mans Pod!

TMPeeps! Did y’all used to double/triple ride on a bike as kids? Or play in construction sites or abandoned houses? Either that, or 6 different versions of ‘tag’. Man, childhood was different back in the 90s. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Speaking of tag, did y’all watch ‘The Floor is Lava’ on Netflix last year? Shit was wild. Btw, shout out to the 90s classic ‘American Gladiators’. The show was all the macho 90s era shit you needed for a Saturday morning loll. And they were def dabbling in that ❄️👀 Have y’all seen Ontario’s proposed reopening plan for schools in the fall? Masks are required indoors but no vax requirement, and assemblies, team sports, and recess are back. Interestingly, no thresholds set for outbreaks. 🤨 Reports have come out that the delta variant is as contagious as the chicken pox. Which is hilarious bc there’s a full generation kids who don’t know what the chicken pox are - why you ask? Bc they have been vaxxed for it (ironically) 💉 Big Dougie usually making waves, but not this time. Krista Ford was on social media this week on an anti-vax rant criticizing a government info pamphlet about Covid and the vax. You know there’s some trouble in the Ford house with this brilliant move by the daughter 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😁. Easy wasteman if the week for Krista Ford 🏆 We get that there is still some hesitancy among a certain block of the population, and that mixed messaging has definitely contributed to a lack of confidence in the government and the medical establishment in Canada. But the misinformation and opinion pieces swirling around online are just as, if not more, dangerous. Vax passports seem to be on the horizon along with a potential 4th wave, and the conversation is only getting trickier.🤌🏾🤌🏾 Finally, this week the GROAT, @kyle_lowry7, was traded to the Miami Heat. In a bittersweet way, I think we all knew it was coming, and looking back on a stellar 9 years, we couldn’t thank him enough. Mans run through the amazing career of raptors legend, Kyle Lowry, the pit bull who was the centre of the raptors underdog identity for the better part of the last decade.🦖✊🏾

Eid Mubarak to all the fandems! This year Arsy and fam were able to hit up Eid prayers at a big outdoor space in a field organized by the local Guyanese mosque. 🙏🏾📿. Arsy’s fam got treated to the OG halal fast food go-to - Popeyes Chicken 🍗. Lala used to run McDonald’s breakfast as the Eid morning treat. Y’all got some Eid traditions? Eid-al-Adha, affectionately known as “goat Eid”, is the one that creeps up on you.. but it’s always a fun one. Things are a bit more relaxed here in the west, but back in Pakistan things are done a bit more traditionally. #ProducerTaus share a great childhood story that REALLY hit the spirit of Goat Eid, fr fr 🐐👀 Extra special Eid day blessings and shout out to @d5kwan and @fatakra on the arrival of their new addition, beautiful baby girl, Nora 🍼! Mad love to y’all, fam 🤗 💕🎉 Meanwhile back at Lala’s crib, mans are getting the cribbaz painted, and y’all know Lala be holding it down for the local small biz. The homie @michaelposted came through to bless the house with the painting services, and my guy is a G. Holler at the boy Mikey for all your home painting needs y’all! 🎨🖌👨🏻‍🎨 Arsy jumps into some homie painting stories, with the one homie who would take jobs just to avoid his wife 😂. Then Lala follows it up with his first “Woodbridge experience”. 🤌🏾 Later, Mans discuss establishments that are/are not requiring vax proof before attending the space. Eg. some strip clubs downtown are asking for proof of vax, whereas others, like GoodLife Fitness, interestingly are NOT requiring it. Twitter definitely went in on Goodlife for that choice 😂 In that same vein, some countries and large corporations are adjusting their stance on vax’d travellers. A couple this week reportedly had to cancel their honeymoon because they had mixed vaccines. Royal Caribbean cruise lines took a similar stance not allowing those with mixed vaccines, because the WHO has not made a definitive declaration on vaccine mixing. 💉

Fresh off a red eye flight, Lala touched back down in the 6ix. Mans got stuck with an aisle seat in the emergency exit row. Ya, extra leg room, but mans need that window seat to lean on and contemplate life while riding the clouds. Which seat y’all more down for, aisle or window? ✈️ Coles notes from Lala’s trip to Van (hot take 🚨) - downtown Van is a bootleg version of downtown Tdot. That said, Whistler is incredible and is everything that Blue Mountain wishes to be. 🏔⛰ More importantly, step 3 of Ontario’s reopening plan is finally upon us. Mans break down all the newly lifted restrictions and what’s allowed. Y’all ready to dine at a restaurant INDOORs for the first time in 15 months?! Arsy even more excited for the skrippers opening up 😏💃🏽 Mans are def excited to have the barbershops open. Arsy hit up a PK homies wedding last weekend and had to prep with fresh cut, but in the midst learned to go back to a classic styling product - dippitydoo 😮. With the wedding weekend passed, Arsy went down memory lane with with some PK elementary school stories. Shout out to drone mans in LA, bc the boy @champagnepapi got baited taking that sweety moms with a phatty to a special dinner in the middle of Dodgers stadium. Major flex btw 👏🏾👏🏾. Meanwhile, Scarborough’s own, @theWeeknd allegedly dating Angelina Jolie 🤭. Toronto mans really doing it up big out here eh?! On the vax front, WHO released a statement regarding mixing vax brands, and ppl are stressed. Mixed messaging from public health organizations coupled with social media can add fuel to a misinformation fire. Mans def think y’all should go read the full story on that. Also lots of new discussions on vaxes being mandated at certain places in the province 💉. In a big weekend of sport, the footy 🐐 Leo Messi finally got his international cup after winning the Copa America 🏆🇦🇷. Back across the pond, England lost to Italy in the Euro 2020 final that went to penalty kicks. It was a tough way to lose, but the racism that flowed out of England after the loss was absolutely disgraceful. Congrats to Italy on a great tournament. Woodbridge was BUMPIN after that win 🇮🇹🏆

Live from the Wild West, your boy Lala choppin it up in VanCity… in a heat wave. Parts of BC hit Canadian heat records, reaching 49.6 C. 🌡🌞 Outside was legit feeling like an oven. Global warming is real y’all. Shit got so dire, Lala had to check out of the Airbnb early to go stay with the fam at a blueberry farm out in Delta, BC. Speaking of which, special shout out to @Didarberryfarm with the best blueberries in BC. Hit them up and go pick your own fresh blueberries, or even take your shorty for a likkle date ting. Blueberry szn is running all summer, so hit them up ASAP 🫐👍🏾 All the while, Arsy and #ProducerTaus been robbing Lala’s crib, and oblivious Lala been foodie’ing it up making the rounds on a BC food tour. Among the many dinners, a Bourdain fav - Vij’s, for Indian food with a fusion twist @eatdrinkvijs. Mans also ventured out to Kelowna for an evening at Mission Hill Family Estate. Food scene out west been legit 👌🏾 Then, Arsy gives Lala an update on what’s been happening at home. Raves under the Gardner?! What is happening out here loll?? At this point, people are over it and are doing what they want, and the city is just turning a blind eye. Watch out for that delta variant tho 😬 Patio szn must be in full effect. Dunkno those street side patios are lit right now. Rendezviews seems to be a perfectly situated spot in the middle of DT, and Arsy hit it up to watch Italy v Belgium. Arsy tells the tale we’ve all experienced with typical bipolar southern Ontario weather hitting the scene. These random hail storms are wild. ⛈🌤 Summer sports consumption has been ultra lit this past stretch. Euro 2020 has been great to watch, and lots of well fought matches leading up to the semis this past week. The final is all set up now for an Italy v England battle going down at Wembley. Also in the Copa America final, Brazil v Argentina. Big wknd ahead! ⚽️🏆 NBA finals all set now too, with the Milwaukee Bucks without a full strength Greek freak (poppa Arsy partially responsible) facing the CP3 and the Phoenix Suns 🏀. And lastly in the NHL Stanley Cup finals, Montreal v Tampa Bay. Some of y’all be routing for the ‘Canadian team’, but Lala is a hater and that sh*t don’t fly with him. Tampa bout to shut the Habs down for a back to back win - Let’s go! 🏒🥅

Arsy has a problematic obsession with shoehorns. In an unexpected turn of an intro, Arsy divulges his propensity to gather shoehorns from any and everywhere. Weird flex, but ok 😂 Why is brown time a thing? Arsy attempts to justify it with a variety of theories, like last minute bladder issues. Mans talk it through and conclude that lateness for brown ppl is genetic lol 🕰 What’s your go-to monopoly piece? Mans discuss the classic board games, Monopoly and Risk, cheaters, and board game beef that always pops off btwn fam and friends. 🎲 Hospitality tag, neighbourhood edition, is upon Lala’s family. His parents moved to a new house and neighbours all over the street have been stopping by with cards and flowers, welcoming them to the neighbourhood. Brown hospitality is kicking in and you know all these white neighbours are getting samosas 😂 Arsys family are fully trying to get him hitched. Even funnier, if you’re not married by a certain age, some brown parents think you’re either a virgin, or gay 😆. They also never have ‘the talk’ with their kids at a young age, meanwhile smashcapades are gwanin lolll. Mans get into a long segment to unpack the expectations of brown families around marriage, weddings, and cultural/religious issues when marrying outside of your own, amongst many others. The pressures are heavy and it comes in many forms.

Feds are dropping the travel restrictions starting July 5th. Those who are double vaxxed and provide a negative test on arrival back into Canada will not have to quarantine. THANK GOD 🙏🏾- Mans need to make movements asap. Per usual, line ups downtown are wild. Arsy took a stroll on Queen street and saw a lineup stretching down the street and around the block for…..Aritzia lol. Also why do we have 97 weed dispensaries on one block. Queen street is turning into a giant grow-op 😂 Your boy Dougie been flying under the radar for while, but he’s back at it last week with a cabinet shuffle in an obvious move preparing for next years election. But as part of his “genius” move, Minister Rod Philips (myyute who dipped off to a Caribbean island in the middle of the pandemic and pretended he was still at home on a zoom call) was brought back in to be the Minister of Long Term Care, replacing Marliee (Super Karen) Fullerton. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Special shout out and congratulations to Hon. Justice Mahmoud Jamal, the first muslim and person of colour to be nominated to the SCC. A big move for the country and proud moment for the AK collective ✊🏾 Too many major sports going down right now. NBA playoffs in full swing - BK v Bucks game 7 was wild, as well as Philly v Atlanta. Ben Simmons def getting roasted hard online. Euros approaching the round of 16, and its hard to be productive. Europe gotta work on their flags tho. Arsy got a problem with these similar 3 stripe patterns lol. ⚽️🏀 Another classic - Ones gotta go. This time Arsy brings McFlurries to the table. Which one you dropping - Skor, Oreo or Smarties. Y’all might be surprised with #ProducerTaus’ selection. Mans butt heads on the knockout selection, then Arsy tells a classic elementary school story about winning a contest and getting free McDonalds.🍦🍟 Finally, mans take it way back and chop it up about pre-teen parties and high school dances. Ya’ll remember MuchMusic video jams? Mans also bring it back to the university culture show competitions. 🤙🏾

Arsy thinks he was the flyest kid in elementary school. One trip to eaton centre and mans thought he was THE influencer of grade 6 😂👏🏾. Mans get into some youthful style moments. Stage1 provincial openings are around the corner and patio’s are about to open - with limits (obviously - ontario 🙄). Y’all ready for patio szn? 🙌🏾. Arsy tryna get a patio crew together for an all star wing man situation. Meanwhile, #ProducerTaus can’t wait to line up for Homesense with gyaldem. What lockdown?! Please tell me y’all saw these packed ass parks and beaches. Woodbine beach? Slammed. Trinity Bellwood’s. Slammed? 300+ ppl line up to reach the island? Obvi. Want a park rave? Riverdale had a JAM gwanin 💃🏾🕺🏽. Even trying to hit a park outside of the city was an issue. The people are OUT! 🔥 Money Mayweather back at it in the ring again vs Youtuber Logan Paul. Mans caught a stream online and watched what can only be described as a waste of time. Wild wailing shots from Paul coupled with hugging and trying to weigh Mayweather down. Floyd did his thing as usual, still quick as ever and tumped this guy up. 🥊 Lala poses a tough food question to Arsy: one’s gotta go - pizza/wings/tacos/sushi. Pick one that you can never eat again. Mans get into an existential favourite food conundrum. What are y’all axing? 🍕🍗🌮🍣 🪓👀 People were cheesed about Egerton Ryerson’s role in Canada’s residential schools and pulled the statue down. They are even calling for renaming the university. All this in a very tense week of reflection in Canada’s colonial white supremacist past. On a very sad note, TMP joins the rest of the Canadian community in mourning the deaths of 4 family members in London, Ontario, who were murdered by a terrorist in a Islamaphobic hate crime. One child survived the attack and remains injured in hospital - orphaned. 😔🙏🏾

Fresh off of another disappointment from the Maple Leafs, who dropped a 3-1 series lead to the Habs to lose in game7 🤦🏽‍♂️ - Mans are hella cheesed and even Arsy’s pops chimed in. On the flip side, Chelsea shocked City to win the Champions League final… which made up for the Maple Laughs Meltdown. Arsy got raccoon problems at his crib, and in good brown son fashion had to do something about it to earn his day of binge sports watching, using unorthodox methods for rodent control 🌶👀 In the pandemic era, park-hopping is the new bar-crawl. Arsy did his own park hop last weekend going from Riverdale over to West Humber. Mans got the park life starter pack to get y’all ready for the summer park flexes. See what essentials this guy packs into a string bag and keep that on deck.🎒 Lala doing his share of good son duties selling stuff for his parents on FB market place, and it’s a trip. You got all types of characters tryna catch a deal - Wayyy too many “what’s best price bro” 👳🏾‍♂️. Dealing with the FB marketplace messages is like a shorty’s online dating app inbox. The parallels are hilarious 😂👌🏾. Special shout out to @batchxcookies for blessing Mans with the 🔥 🍪 after a busy ass weekend. In other news, Naomi Osaka got fined for not speaking to the press last week after her first round win at the French open - and then withdrew from the tourney after threats of being banned from future grand slams. Big up to Naomi for making a statement and paving the way for an important discussion on players mental health and highlighting an environment with predatory and discriminatory reporting ✊🏾🎾. On a serious note, 215 Indigenous children were found in a mass grave on the grounds of a residential school in Kamloops, BC. We are reminded that the Indigenous people have been oppressed and the generational trauma is too real. We mourn all the children who lost their lives, language, and heritage through these schools. We want to acknowledge the land we are on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. Thank you 🙏🏾

MAY TWO FOUR was upon us..the unofficial kick off to the summer. How did y’all spend the long weekend? Mans definitely got some golf action in 🏌🏾‍♂️ Lala’s rule - early morning? walk the course. Mid day? Golf cart. Mans need the shade, nahmsayin? #DirectorTaus went on a city exploration flex and was looking for suggestions. Arsy gave a tip, but the mistrust runs too deep and mans couldn’t take him seriously 🤔 Meanwhile, yutes went wild with Roman candle fights at woodbine beach, turning the spot into a war zone. This is why we can’t have nice things 😂. We’ve also hit a record for our city having one of the longest lockdowns in the world - becoming an international joke. In major music news, your boy ARSY dropped a new track - “F Boys Anthem”. It’s hilarious AND a banger and is streaming on all platforms. Go check it! Also, TMP Mans wanna collab musically with our #Fandem. Holla at the @torontomanspod DMs - we’d love to hear from y’all and feature future collabs on the Pod 🙌🏾. In ACTUAL music news, the boy - @champagnepapi - won the Billboard ‘Artist of the Decade’ award - solidifying his dominance over the industry over the past 10+ years 🏆. Looking across the industry, it’s become undeniable. Mans discuss the career and dive into drizzy’s decade of dominance. Special shout-out to Scarborough’s own, @theweeknd, for cleaning up 10 billboard awards of his own 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Another Toronto icon, super fan Nav Bhatia, was inducted into the NBA hall of fame last week. Well deserved recognition to a pillar of the community. Salty ass Stephen A Smith wasn’t having it and complained like the b*tch that he is🙅🏽‍♂️. And finally, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been battling the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs after 40+ years 🏒🥅. Wishing a speedy recovery to Leafs superstar John Tavares who had a scary injury in game 1 🙏🏾.

Why was JT fake flexing with an HP laptop that was photoshopped to look like a bootleg MacBook?! Also, why is Mayor Tory’s hair out of control rn? Mans are looking like Lion-O from Thunder Cats.. bruh, our politicians are wyllin 😂 What lockdown? It was pre-long wknd, and tell me why alllll the parks were PACKED. The weather was dope and ppl were out full force at parks, beaches…anywhere lol. Lineups at all the ice cream spots too - shout out to @DutchDreams 🍦 Earlier this week, your boy Dougie and the PC gang voted down a motion to reduce the outdoor activity prohibition. Why, you ask? Bc the motion was brought by the NDP. PC politics at it’s best. You play outside when THEY say so 🤡 Arsy and producer Taus hit up the Israel/Palestine protests at city hall over the wknd and the joint was slammed with ppl. Mans even bumped into some TMP #Fandem - shout out to @Zia.416 and his crew - we appreciate the love 🤙🏾. Arsy stays getting finessed by his moms and niece lol. The kids want a new swing set, and Arsy is on the hook lol. But mans have zero handy man skills. Should’ve taken shop class in high school 😂 Speaking of high school, y’all remember secret senders? Lala tells some old high school shenanigan stories, and then mans talk high school era movies and debate the best Powerade flavours. Btw, which of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy was the best? 🥤🎥

Arsy feeling fresh with the duct cleaned crib. The fam didn’t get call centre hustled - they actually sought out the duct cleaners LOL. Who knows if they actually did anything tho 😂 Yo, how y’all feeling about this potential lockdown extension? It’s getting exhausting still… Meanwhile these kids out in Chinatown ran a 150+ ppl party last weekend and got caught on some alley cams. Shit was wild.. 🤦🏽‍♂️. We get it, we can’t make the same mistakes.. but Mans need to golf fr fr 🏌🏾‍♂️. Anti mask protests are still gwanin downtown..no surprise. The right to protest is sacred but this shit is just counterproductive and borderline selfish. MASKS ARE NOT OPPRESSION 🤡 AZ shots were suspended by Ontario and Alberta this week following increased fears of blood clotting. All the while, your boy JT this week proclaimed a “one-dose summer” - a low key remix with Chet Hanks “white-boy summer” 😂 For those of y’all wondering, #TeamLala came through victorious over #TeamTaus in their weekly fitness challenges 🥇. Meanwhile Arsy lackin, but we’re lowwing it bc of Ramadan. Last week, Manchester United fans held major protests against their ownership by the Glazer family, which resulted in the cancellation of their March against rivals, Liverpool. They also made it to the Europa league final ✊🏾💚💛. On the other side of Manchester, local rivals Man City made it to their first Champions League final while also securing the Premiership title. Been a big week in English football 🔥 Crypto been all over the news this year, and this week, DogeCoin back in the news. Producer Taus told us about an even funnier coin - Cumrocket 😂. Your boy Elon Musk been hyping Doge, even though it’s trash, but the cult of Elon is wild. Shows you the power of hype and what you can do with a platform. On a serious note, the Middle East is experiencing unrest this week, specifically in East Jerusalem, with the evictions of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah and attacks on people fasting and praying in Al Aqsa mosque. Our hearts break for the innocent lives lost. Take some time to educate yourselves on the issues and speak up for human rights. There can be no peace without justice 🙏🏾.

Perpetual wasteman of the week Dougie at it again with the paid sick leave bill. Tell me why this guy thinks piggybacking onto the federal program = making a new program for Ontarians? For the record, PCs voted down the bill 21 times. So your boy Lala called his MPP to complain (encourage y’all to as well). Dougie out here taking mad days off - while the PCs ended up voting in the equivalent of 3 sick days - and that’s a win?! Shout out to the homie doctor/peoples advocate extraordinaire @naheedd for staying on the beat and continuously calling out Ontario PC govt on their bullshit ✊🏾. Btw, Word of the week - “languishing”. The most accurate way to describe how we’re all collectively feeling. Meanwhile some folks are throwing 200+ ppl parties INDOORs not giving af. PSA from Arsy, please stay home. We’re almost at the finish line. This past wknd we had the Oscars with some of the lowest ever ratings. Korean Aunty Youn Yuh-jung killed it with her award winning speech and back stage commentary, while legend Tyler Perry’s heartfelt speech def struck a chord. Also Arsy’s man crush, Riz Ahmed was nominated for best actor along side the late great Chadwick Boseman..but both got shafted by OG Anthony Hopkins - who was sleeping during the award show 💀. Ps. In case y’all didn’t know, Arsy made movie (On again, off again - link in bio. Go check it). Any of y’all watch ‘Seaspiracy’? Yo, Japan def be sweeping some foul shit under the rug, and the industrial fishing industry is legit evil. Also, those “dolphin friendly” and “sustainable” stamps on tuna cans and other seafood products are all a fraud. Shit had mans shook fr 🤯. Speaking of Japan, y’all hear about #TokyoMans? Yooo, this anime character was out here gaming 35 diff women, and told them all a different bday. Mans were collecting 2.91 bday gifts a month, running a Major finesse! Talk about player flex on level 3000 👏🏾👏🏾😆

Shouts to the construction workers who got baited out for their skripper party in a housing construction development. As always, Arsy was plugged into the skreets and had the live stream poppin 😂. PSA from the Toronto Mans - when you have these jams - Rule#1: Phone👏🏾In👏🏾The👏🏾 Bin👏🏾 Your boy Dougie at it again with the extra restrictions, shutting down outdoor activities and extending police powers with randoms stops. Even cops were like...”Furreals? Nah, b..we ain’t bout it.” And then Doug went m.i.a. the first half of this week lol. Another major L for perpetual wasteman of the week recipient - Dough Ford. In vaccine related news, mans had their vaccine appointment cancelled. This Scarborough pop up clinic situation is laaacking. And if we couldn’t get more embarrassing, one hospital even mistakenly injected saline into 6 people 🤦🏽‍♂️. Were y’all hit by the Rogers outage this week? Mans had no service for almost a full day and ppl were cheeeesed fam. To make things worse, Rogers out here trying to merge with Shaw to become even bigger. Yup, all we needed was for telco to become even more monopolized than it already was 🙄. Happy 420 for all those celebrating this week. Hopefully y’all didn’t overdo it with a shatterbar or some next edibles lol. Shout out to hiphop legends and makers of the cult classic movie ‘How High’, Methodman & Redman, rockin it on Versuz this week in celebration of 420. On some hectic world sporting news - a group 12 major soccer clubs tried to come together to stage a coup to form a European Super League - a closed league format like the NBA or NFL, for a major cash grab and solidification of power in soccer. This created shockwaves across the soccer world forcing some executives to resign, and chips are still falling. This was the “red wedding” of the soccer world 😳.

Toronto Mans Talks were on clubhouse! It was mad fun chopping it up with some of y’all. We’re gonna be back at it so come check us out there. Ramadan Mubarak to all those celebrating. And for you heathens like Lala, enjoy your samosas - which are apparently 256cal a piece?! Mans are gonna have to chill on these dangerous samosa platters😬. Are y’all fasting? Shout out to all the mans who stayed true when it fell during the summer time. Those long days are hard. Arsy thinks it’s even harder in North America, while they be flipping the day around in the Middle East - which, hot take - is cheating! 💁🏽‍♂️Lol Meanwhile, what’s going on with the vaccine rollout? What a disaster. Hotspots were supposed to open up for 18-49 - but even that’s been botched. Plus, we were supposed to secured one of the largest stockpiles in the world per person, but a shit rollout plan? Dougie coming out with another wasteman of the week award. Summers around the corner, mans are golfing, and cyclists are out in full force. Which btw, some of these bikers need to chill and are asking to get clipped lol. The world lost hiphop royalty last week. RIP to the legend DMX ✊🏾😞. Mans were a hiphop force of nature from late 90s through the 2000s - from hits to movies, he did it all (shoutout to hiphop classic movie - Belly). The world also lost Prince Philip, the original Stedman. Mans lived a long 99yrs. Next up, Chet Hanks is at it with another culture vulture move. Mans went from spitting patois at award shows on social media, to dropping a hiphop banger - “white boy summer”. You know Tom Hanks is hella confused about this kid 😂 In other news, the always controversial Chris Sky was recently put on the Canadian no-fly list by the government of Canada. Then, local lawyer Caryma Sa’d made a comic about it clowning him and posted it on social media, and a raging IG beef ensued! 🤡

Lala been doing some spring cleaning and found a box of old CDs and tapes. Mad rnb, hiphop, and reggae classic albums and mixtapes. Speaking of which, do y’all remember running the radio-coordinated voicemail message back in the 2000s? 😂 Meanwhile, provincial shutdown 3.0 is in full effect. How are y’all coping? Yorkdale was lookin like pre-covid era Boxing Day last week lolll. The joint was PACKED...smh🤦🏽‍♂️ Mans are convinced we’re being governed by a bunch of muppets fr. Also, Minister of education Stephen Lecce is a eeediat. Thinking back to a year ago, remember when Rudy Gobert coughed up on all the mic’s at a postgame interview and set off the domino effect across all the sports leagues? 😂. And is it RIP to legendary downtown spot - the Brassrail? Looking like it might be set to be sold for more condos 🙄. Mans get back into some of the classic skripper joints in the city. (Except Zanzibar😡). In other news, mans chop it up over wasteman Michael Rappaport getting into separate beefs with Kevin Durant, and Barstool sports. Lawsuits and Twitter DMs were on the menu, and it was hilarious 🤣👏🏾👏🏾

Ayo!! South Asian food is the greatest but getting the smell out your hands can be a mission! Lala imagines a Dove and TMP collab product for just that problem, and Arsy imitates a Toronto Mans versions of a Lumin commercial!😂 In 6ix news, a Mack Truck pushed a Mini Cooper, tow truck drivers fist fight on the Gardiner, and a Brampton wasteman does 200 in a 70! Toronto streets are hot (literally!) 🚗🔥Speaking of streets, the mans get into the legacy of the Fast & the Furious franchise, horror flicks, and legendary Fridays at the iconic Jumbo Video (free popcorn anyone 🍿?) Arsy tells a story of his shady and opinionated internet reseller, and the mans breakdown the proposed Rogers takeover of Shaw (Canadians getting robbed on internet and mobile outchea😡). Meanwhile Toronto housing so crazy that some ppl spending $600k for a DIGITAL HOUSE! Y’all think NFTs are forreal or are they just another addition to Arsy’s Toronto money laundering list alongside adult video shops and PATH stores 🤨?

Confirming last weeks rumblings, the boy @champagnepapi dropped a 3 track EP along with some fresh visuals from across the city, tying ppl over in anticipation of CLB🔥. In other news, Arsy made a full tech reset. Mans upgraded from a rotary dial phone to iPhone 12, and from a typewriter to a new MacBook 😂. Mans are ready to get stained out here 👀. Shoutout to all the TMP fandem jumping in on the “got milk” commercial debate on tiktok. Mans run though some of the classic Canadian commercial favourites. Y’all really feelin some type of way about the house hippos eh? 😂 Then, Lala’s mind is blown by a breakfast-dessert crossover combination. Listen to the mans dive into the mechanics of a signature snack that will be coming to you at a TMP pop-up in the future 🙏🏾. Side note - vaccinations are ramping up and the general population might have access sooner than anticipated. Mans are about to walk into a hospital with a limp to finesse a shot still 😏. Meanwhile, Oprah ran a session with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - and there were some shocking revelations. Mans chop it up on some royal shit, with a wasteman of the week being given to UK trash bag @piersmorgan 🪣. Discussions on “Cancel Culture” be coming out again, this time about kids toys and cartoons. Y’all think Pepe Le Pew is a waste yute? Was Lola bunny too much of a baddie? Thoughts on the gender neutral Potato Head?

First off, shout out to the bentway boss, @samjada, for blessing the city with that guerrilla news heat🔥. Homie captured the boy @champagnepapi lowkey filming a music video...and the shit went instanews viral 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. What’s drizzy cookin up out here yo?!👀 In other news, recent polls suggest that “65% of downtown Toronto workers are ready to go back to the office.” How y’all feelin about this? Mans get into some real ‘shit talk’ with some office WC situations 😂, and then mans reevaluate the commute situations to deal with potentially getting back to downtown life. Lala is bout getting in early with that morning timmies run and get into the office first (which comes with its golden throne benefits 😬). That said, getting back to the office also come with its share of interesting characters. Mans jump into a segment of “office weirdos” - and fam, TRUST there are some stories here of bare dutty people still 🤢. On the flip side, there are also benefits to being back in the office/school/downtown life. Lunch in the path and after work flexes with the homies were always blessed and mans can’t wait to get back to normal. Stay safe y’all 🤙🏾

So PK opened up and they’re ID’ing ppl to get into stores. Like, who’s mans?! 🤔 Meanwhile back in the 6ix, your boy John Tory and the city going after Khaleel Seivwright for building makeshift shelters for those in need, filing an injunction against the man. The city and mayor taking a major L here, and a clear recipient of the TMP Wasteman of the week 🤦🏽‍♂️🏅. Then, Mans get into a heated debate over milk in tea vs cream in tea. TMP Mans wanna know what you think. Y’all bout the milk or cream? Ps. Carnation doesn’t count as cream - that’s a milk ting. 🫖🥛☕️. In other news, CityPlace skreets are hot, more shootings poppin off. Stay safe out there y’all 🙏🏾. Who else having a hard time sleeping during covid? Arsy is really all about the revenge bedtime procrastination and is struggling with his sleep these days. Somebody send mans a bedside diffuser. Arsy thinks it’s because mans are ‘backed-up’ 😂. Btw, did y’all know about these male chastity belts?! 💀 On the flip side, Arsy thinks he’s hella productive now as a result of the no smash situation. He even upped his grooming game and gives mans a breakdown🪒✂️.

So now that lockdown’s been lifted in Durham, are mans tryna catch a fade out in PK? Their mayor is praying mans don’t roll east, but driving across the city is a sawft ting 😎. Meanwhile Dougie out here keeping it elementary, calling the celebration of love “valenTIMES day” 🤡. Have the mandem put on that quarantine 15lbs? Arsy feelin the struggles while Lala has kept it tight with some home workout gear. Mans aren’t tryna go to a gym when lockdown lifts yet tho..too soon still🤔. Mans took a trip down memory lane spittin out some classic downtown Toronto entertainment district spots, like Cheval, Lot 332, Circa, and the OG, Guvernment🕺🏾. ENTITLD might have to go cop the now vacant CC lounge (another covid casualty) and make it the headquarters 👀. Then Mans discuss old school roommate situations. Lala lived in a wild 8-man party house during the university years, while Arsy had the classic city place spot. Different situations, but you know there were mad shenanigans all around. Toronto mans advice: as soon as the pandemic ramps down, mandem gotta ramp UP with the jams! 🤙🏾

Please tell me y’all seen the cat lawyer video this week 😂💀. CatLii with the follow up was too good. Shouts to Tommy terrific, the 🐐 with his 7th Super Bowl ring. And even bigger shoutouts to the 6ix’s very own - the Weeknd! From UTSC to the Super Bowl, first Canadian to solo headline the big games’ halftime show 🎉💥. What’s your most memorable Super Bowl halftime performance? Dun kno Arsy ain’t forgetting that nip slip loll 👀. Food and snacks are always a highlight for Super Bowl Sunday. Mans kept it classic this year with wings and pizza, but watch out for Duffs on college tho 😬. Wasteman of the week goes to...🥁 Your boy Premier Dougie Ford. Like, why are mans shouting out Tim Hortons egg sandwiches at a covid press conference? I can’t 🤦🏽‍♂️. On a similar note, Indian Prime Minister Modi is also hella waste. Big ups to the Indian farmer protests. We stand in solidarity ✊🏾. Gotta say, we love the brown entrepreneurial spirit of these uncles. Mans made a makeshift mall in the middle of the protest encampments 😂! I’m feeling shades of Pickering flea market, and we here for it 👏🏾👏🏾

Live from the bunker, Arsy is struggling with his skin care routine while Lala is in vampire mode, thriving without sunlight 🧛🏾. WhatsApp privacy issues came to light and ppl are switching to Signal, but it’s a struggle. We can’t lose all this archived group chat gold. Y’all bout that switch? 🤔 Arsy has an issue with Elon Musk - Mans talking too much reckless shit and thinks we need to colonize Mars...are you stupid are you dumb fam? Did you see the Martian?!🙅🏽‍♂️ Arsy dives into the growing new app, Clubhouse. Lot of big names doing panels and other cool shit. But be careful not to embarrass yourself like someone might have in front of #HumbleThePoet 👀. Toronto real estate prices still crazy high. How are mans supposed to buy a cribbaz in this market📈 Old generations need to chill on the financial advice. Not buying a coffee everyday from Starbucks won’t make a diff at these prices (even if the mans fail at a calculating how many grande americanos it takes for a down payment) ☕️😂

Yo, who’s this Rodney Baker wasteman? Private jet to Yukon to skip the line and catch a vaccine one time, eh? jheeez 💉. Meanwhile, Mans are stuck home on this remote recording life but at least daily case counts are going down finally..blessss up 🙏🏾. Y’all think these lockdowns are working? Arsy misses Kennedy station beef patties, and now they have a scented candle to encapsulate this iconic Scarborough meal lolll. With a legendary 4 yr ticketless run illegally parking at STC, Mans discuss their old school brutal commutes from the east end to downtown 🚇. What a major change of pace from the storming of the US Capitol to the inauguration going down with Kamala Aunty, Michelle Obama and the power ladies coming in hot. BTW, Kamala’s sister Maya is low key a ting 😏. Shout out to Uncle Bernie with the mitts and the always undefeated internet for blowing it up 🧤 🤣. The Gamestop stock (GME) short squeeze story is wild. Reddit forums banded together and flipped Wall Street on its ass, and they’re cheeeeesed fam. 📈 Y’all catch any of these gains?

Mans kick it off with WWE talk – favourite wrestlers, classic matches, and Vince McMahon’s genius. Arsy makes the case for adult wrestling fans! Speaking of wrestlers, the legendary Undertaker was on #HotOnes recently and couldn’t handle the heat. Arsy thinks he’s from the school of spice 🌶🌶🌶 and could handle it easily, prompting Lala to challenge Arsy to a #spicynoodlechallenge 🍜🌶🔥 Before the challenge, Mans talk about some food bloggers who’ve done similar challenges and the late Anthony Bourdain’s epic shows. After the break, Arsy starts off by making excuses and asking for milk. Mans also rope #ProducerTaus into the spicy noodle challenge, (he didn’t survive, so there’s a job opening at the #ENTITLD #TMP offices). Arsy finds the spice lingers and starts sweating, but puts on a brave face. Mans final verdict was that the spice was on par with scotch bonnet sauces. Then Arsy gives some spicy shoutouts to TMP #mandem.

The Mans debate who is the most “SUS” while playing Among Us! Arsy goes to a farmers' market that feels like a club. Lala breaks down Costco return policy hustles.

The Mans pays homage to Pacific Mall for being the ultimate hookup. Arsy considers if Entourage has aged well, and recalls binging the show in a hospital waiting room. The Mans do their best “brown dads” watching sports impressions.
