I've been waiting for this guest ever since seeing the trading card release called 'INFAMOUS 6IX' spelled with a 6. For all that don’t know, people here refer to Toronto as ‘the 6’ because of the area code (416)…quite clever Haha!!
I reached out to the creator on Instagram, and it took some time, but I got em’! I’m pretty sure that I am the first Podcaster ever to get this creator on a podcast and couldn’t be happier about it. And just like the news, ‘you heard it here first’ …. I’ve always wanted to say that haha!!
For those of you that don’t live in the city of Toronto, let me give you a quick rundown of why these cards are magically hilarious for T.dot locals.
Within the last few years, there have been a series of silly, hilarious, and ridiculous crimes that were so random it became mainstream media.
The first card-set features the 6 main real life (what I like to call them) Anti-heroes.
The most famous one of all is ‘Chair Girl’. Then we have ‘The Chainsaw Beach Boys’, ‘The IKEA Monkey’, ‘The Corona Rapper’, ‘The Shark Streaker’, and my all time favorite, ‘The Toronto Dope Police’. If you don’t know any of these references, listen to the podcast and all will be explained.
I forgot to ask him how he got his cards in the media, but I did ask him after our conversation and he said that he put the card packs on the subway seats all over the TTC (which is the acronym for Toronto transit).
This beautiful stunt got ‘The Infamous 6ix Card Pack’ into major Toronto news media sources such as Narcity, and Blog.T.O.
Narcity put out an article back in November of 2020 with the headline “Toronto Trading Cards Are Apparently Being Hidden In The City & They Are Hilarious”
Also saying in the article:
“Residents are currently trying to catch 'em all as Toronto trading cards are reportedly appearing around the 6ix. TTC riders are claiming they are finding unique and hilarious cards of the city's most infamous icons around the stations. Everyone from Chair Girl to the IKEA Monkey has been stylized and recreated for the mysterious stunt.”
By the way, I have a funding app where if you like my stuff, you can help me expand and support me by using ‘Buy me a coffee’ which is the equivalent to Gofundme.
I'm looking to expand and become one of the most Stupendous Independent Podcasters out there. Online coffee change/funds could really help speed up that process and I appreciate any donation.
