Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.
So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

Welcome to Spooky Gay Bullsh!t. I'm Johnny.

**Tyler Hyde** (1:47)
And I'm Tyler.

**Johnny Cann** (1:48)
And this is our weekly hangout where we get to go over all of the spooky gay bullshit that we just didn't have time to cover on the main show.

**Tyler Hyde** (1:53)
That's right, because it's Friday night. We all collectively threw the first brick at Stonewall, and that's Rojo Caliente.

**Johnny Cann** (1:59)
Yeah, and together as bricks, we create a foundation. We are united in brickdom.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:05)
It's true.

**Johnny Cann** (2:06)
Yeah, bound by mortar.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:08)
I like it.

**Johnny Cann** (2:09)
Is that what they put between the bricks?

**SPEAKER_6** (2:10)
Brick and mortar? Yeah.

**Johnny Cann** (2:11)
Oh, yes. Brick and mortar. See, it was like mortar pestle?
No.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:15)
No.

**Johnny Cann** (2:16)
No.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:16)
But I don't know. I think masonry.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:19)
Masonry, right? That's the right trade.

**Johnny Cann** (2:20)
Yeah, absolutely.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:21)
It ain't what it used to be. I'll tell you what.

**Johnny Cann** (2:24)
Do tell.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:25)
I was walking down the street the other day. I do have a story about this. I was walking down the street the other day, saw a brick wall.
Relatively new brick wall.

**Johnny Cann** (2:32)
Yeah, love it.

**Tyler Hyde** (2:33)
The mortar is chipping away.
I saw, like, there's a big gap. And then inside is a wire mesh. And I was like, that mortar is not getting in there.

**Johnny Cann** (2:44)
I mean, I think the wire mesh is part of the structural...

**Tyler Hyde** (2:47)
Well, it didn't do a good job, because this wire mesh was, like, clean. It looks like they just put the wire mesh between the bricks and then just mortared over top of it. Like when you're patching a wall at home and you're doing a shitty job.

**Johnny Cann** (3:00)
Yeah, sure.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:00)
It was like that.

**Johnny Cann** (3:01)
And you're disgusted.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:03)
Not impressed.

**Johnny Cann** (3:04)
Okay, there we go.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:05)
Because bricks are supposed to, you know, last.

**Johnny Cann** (3:09)
Yeah.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:09)
And here we are, just down the street from the Brickworks. Yeah. And it's like, is this the legacy we're really leaving behind? There are Toronto bricks all over this world.

**Johnny Cann** (3:17)
Yeah, there really are.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:18)
We did a ghost tour.

**Johnny Cann** (3:19)
We did.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:20)
At the Brickworks.

**Johnny Cann** (3:21)
And they taught us about the history.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:22)
Yeah.

**Johnny Cann** (3:22)
Shout out Haunted Walks Toronto.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:24)
Yes.

**Johnny Cann** (3:25)
But yeah, we did. And we should know better. We should do better.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:29)
We should do better.

**Johnny Cann** (3:30)
We should be setting the example for Brickdom here in Toronto.

**Tyler Hyde** (3:33)
And also, there is a condo just down the street, relatively new, not even 10 years old, the shittiest bricks I've ever seen. It literally looks like it's put together by Lego because what they do is they take these prefabricated brick walls, like these pieces, these cubes, and they just stack them, like stick them onto the wall.
