    THE MAN DEM SHOW — EPISODE 262 Are we becoming one of Toronto’s most hated podcasts? 😂 Guttzy Guttz, DJ Laz Vagez and Empress Claire are back, and Episode 262 gets started with the crew ranking Toronto’s most hated podcast personalities before Friday’s freestyle completely derails the conversation with one unforgettable bar: “I used to separate the ounce from the weight.” 😭 From there, the crew gets into the bigger conversation surrounding Marlon Palmer, Toronto content creators, “Two Twos,” Jamaican influence on Toronto culture, impact vs. numbers and who really gets to represent the city. The discussion also looks back at Toronto’s podcast and online-radio history and whether younger creators know enough about the people who paved the way before them. 262-public The conversation gets even deeper with debates about interracial relationships and Black culture, Guttzy revealing an offer made to people at another Toronto platform, Orange Shirt Day, residential schools, and the hilarious argument over whether Christopher Columbus “discovered” America or simply found somewhere people were already living.
