Watch Rob Ford get coffee with Deadmau5, order “five espressos in one cup”
The video above is 30 minutes’ worth of footage of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto, riding in a cat-themed Ferrari with Deadmau5, EDM musician, to get some coffee from a Tim Hortons drive-through. It’s every bit as weird and awkward as that short description would suggest.
There are plenty of people we’d rather have seen Ford locked in a moving vehicle with (like, any member of the city hall press gallery, for instance), but this thing does have its merits. It’s a rare look at what Ford is like when he’s not in campaign mode—when he’s just trying to relax and act like a cool dude. Some standout moments to watch for:
2:27— Rob Ford on football: “I love football. It’s cool.”
10:20— Rob Ford, talking about why he doesn’t often drive really fast on the highway, like Deadmau5 does: “Cops catch me, I’m toast. That’s the problem.”
12:30— Rob Ford’s Tim Hortons order: “Five espressos in one cup.” (!?!?)
13:45— Rob Ford gets the giggles.
21:25— Rob Ford criticizes people who drive while distracted, which is ironic, considering.
26:00— Rob Ford says his brother gets board-flippingly angry when he loses at Risk, but doesn’t specify which brother.
What. The. Fuck.
Five espressos in one cup? And he denies self-control problems?
I agree!!! This is a candidate for the position of mayor? Worse than that, our mayor that has been forgiven for unbelievably inappropriate behavior. We have crossed the chasm into american political behaviour, and it sucks!!!
Deadmau5 must have been hired by the other candidates.
Rob Ford is a total idiot. Good riddance to this fool and his slightly less fool brother. TweedleDee and TweedleDum.
