this is literally mitch’s worst nightmare
Smartest guy on the ice, but borderline illiterate
@@Mitch-ui8ps and yours is a functioning brain
can't be worse than encyclopedia hahaha!!
They’re putting shambles in his brain
bro dyslexic i swear
I so wanted Marner to disprove the "dumb jock" stereotype...holding my breath every street name. I turned blue.
He digs himself
Bunts and Dangle talk to each other as if they're actual friends lol
Same energy tbh 😂
munters recognize munters :D
Nylander: I can't even read so imma skip this one. Proceeds to get Grosvenor right 😭😂
yeah too funny eh?
he can only read elven runes
For this list, you don't need to.
Grosvoner is actually 3 syllables but they were speeding through them and only sounded like 2.
@@HKSMan05 🤣
The 2 things I loved most about that were: -watching people that grew up in Toronto complain about the names -watching someone that is too young to have ever used dialup or internet have his clips edited with dialup noises
idk hes a year older than me and I used dial up internet until 2012 so theres a chance lol
You clearly don't know anything if you think someone who grew up in the 90s never used dial up.
@@shawnpitman876 I mean, I was less accurate than I thought I was when I wrote it, in part because Mitch is perpetually older than I think he is and because dial up lasted longer than I thought it did. Regardless, Mitch was born in 1997, so he by no means grew up in the 90s, and as someone that was born pretty close to Mitch and have friends both older and younger that never used dialup, I'd still say there is a good likelihood Marner didn't use dialup considering only about a third of households used dialup over broadband in 2000 when Mitch would've been 3. Is this a pointlessly long response to a minor comment? Yes, but you hurt my feelings because I put way to much of my emotional wellbeing into what people think of me and writing this made me feel better.
@@PpP-dr1od No one even knew you were talking about Mitch. Because you named NO ONE the default assumption would be that you're referring to the host of the video, Steve "Dangle" Glynn. Who most certainly did grow up in the 90s.
@@shawnpitman876 I understand where you are coming from, but all of the clips where dialup noises were used were solo shots poking fun at Mitch. Since Mitch is both the person being made fun of and the only person in most of the shots w dialup noises, I thought it was clear I was talking about Mitch. Funny enough, half the reason I wrote the comment is because I'm a fan of SDPN and Dangle complains about feeling old all the time.
omg steve you must be so excited doing this..happy for you bro.....leafs for life....mitchy marner #1,since 2015
“I can’t read.” - William Nylander, 2023 Cause same bro😂😂😂😂
i love how tavares only got shown once, cuz he knows all of them!
None of them.
He lived near me on Roncesvalles…I saw him a few times!
@@jeremyclark-dp9se he still lives there? Figured with his contract he’s move further away for a bigger house with a usable yard. I know corey perry lives in a ridiculous compound outside of London Ontario.
I thought Tavares lived in Oakville?
Wrong Tavares had to take a nap
The edits on Marner gotta be the funnest thing ever 😂😂😂 thanks for the laugh haha good try 👏
Like someone else said here Spadina is really supposed to be pronounced spa-dee-na. That was the original pronunciation but the common pronunciation gradually changed to “Spa-die-na” over time.
Same with Strachan, should be pronounced Strackan
toronto is toronto but people say churrono
Classic Toronto butchering then.
Nice trivia. Never knew that!
@@hottuna2006 When I had moved to Toronto in the late 1980s, there was a street car driver who did the Queen St. car all the time. And when he called out the stops he always yelled “SPA-DEEEE-NA Avenue, Spa-dee-na!”
Nylander: I can't read. *gets most of them right.* Haha
The king street W streetcar has got some great stops. Roncesvalles, Strachan, Tecumseth, all pretty close to each other. Great for tourists, haha.
Used to live on the corner of King and Strachan. Good time!
Lol fun fact it's technically spah-deen-ah but we gave up on that. Named after a family. I belive something to do with casa loma :P
Yep. In "Murdoch Mysteries" they use that pronunciation lol
It comes from the word ishpadinaa, which means high place in Ojibwe
wow I've lived here all my life and didn't know that. I guess I'm just a stupid torontonian puck head eh?
@P Williams lol I only know cus it was in some history video on Toronto. It's definitely not widely known
I miss Simmer and Muzz, don’t get me wrong, I understand why they aren’t in the lineup right now, just makes me sad :(
These were probably filmed a while ago
I thought muxzin was injured?
All the guys saying Queensway Should go to Etobicoke or Mississauga and they’ll be happy
they probably couldn't pronounce etobicoke XD
Please have a scoreboard at the end would love to see the rankings of everyone!
Muzz being in this video hurts my soul. RIP our #1 D
I don't blame ANY OF THEM for not knowing these names. I grew up in Mississauga and made all of their mistakes like Straw-chan/Strack-an, Queens Kew-ay, Ron-say-vall-es, I didn't even know Grosvenor was pronounced that way
great to see Muzzin, feel like its been forever
3:53 Straw-n is how my family has always pronounced it. There's some family story about how when they immigrated from Scotland they changed the pronunciation but not the spelling to sound more Canadian. Not sure if that's true or just a story though.
It's Scots Gaelic, ch's can often get prounounced more like just an h or like a gh.
It's possible. They derived the pronunciation from the person they named the street after, so it's always been "Strawn". The school (Bishop Strachan School) is also pronounced that way. History is weird, I guess.
Also the locals don't necessary retain a mastery of the word in a language they don't speak. The US has a city the locals call "La-feet", with the spelling Lafayette. Obviously French, named after the Marquis de Lafayette who was an American Revolutionary War hero. But it's now butchered.
Good to see you, Muzz!
There is a Spadina Cresent in Saskatoon too (as well as a Wendel Clark's lol)
I thought it was just Americans that butchered the English language - but Toronto appears to have done a pretty good job with Mispronunciation of its own street names lol
It's enough to make you wince in pain.
C’mon, Mitch, how can you miss Wellesley as a Toronto boy? It’s like he’s never taken the subway before as a kid 🤣
He's not from Toronto.
Markham boy.
Markham is a suburb of Toronto as it is located in York region which is one of the 6 regions of Toronto. So yeah, he is a Toronto boy, I live in Oakville and ive taken the subway a lot as a kid in TO.
@@rickma6363 Thronhill is literally North York.
exactly it's the subway stop just north of College where u got off to go to Marlie games on Sunday afternoon in the '60s
I love these guys. they're my team. too funny
Looool the editing 😂
They should have done this a couple of years ago when they were in Newfoundland. Their heads would have melted. Our names are dumb 😂
Visting toronto for the first time- gonna have to try these on my friends
I would say as someone who lives near Roncesvalles most people don’t make it plural by pronouncing the last S. It sounds more like Roncesvalle and kind of trails off at the end
Matt Murray's haircut is shocking
No problemo ... just keep being elite as always Mitch.
Grew up in Vancouver and I only knew Queen’s Quay because of the Lonsdale Quay in North Van
this should be every teams Quiet room test
Steve dangle not shouting is refreshing!
Good thing these guys communicate with circles and x's
I got Grosvenor Street right because there is a village in my home state of Connecticut named North Grosvenordale up near Thompson. Wellesley is also a town in Massachusetts and funny enough it's near Boston
I would love to see them try to pronounce some Maritime places. Some of them are so abstract (like kejimkujik)
British Columbia too
What do you mean? I pronounce that perfectly. It's kejimkujik. See? Easy ^_^
a lot of those names are shoshone words so yeah very hard to pronounce. have to ask a local tribe haha
And Musquodoboit.
I can imagine pronouncing Toronto street name with Steve Dangle!!!!🍁✌️
i heard steve dangle goes to taiwain and sleeps with lady boys - might not be true tho
Hahaha *_Mitchy Modem Sounds_* needs to be a permanent thing
4:57 is WAYYYYY TOO GOOD
" i dont think he's coming." lol
Spadina Bus by the Shuffle Demons - CLASSIC SONG
Mitchie clearly malfunctioning at Grosvenor 😂
I live on this street: Glaïeul, yes, it's in Quebec. It means Gladiolus in english, it's a flower. Try to say it and imagine what happend when I'm asked my address... I can't remember a single time where I didn't have to spell it.
I go by how the TTC stop announcements says these street names
There's a reason they're hockey players, well except for Kerf being a Harvard grad, they'd all be block layers otherwise lol
missed opportunity leaving out tecumseth but was waiting on strachan, that one ends people
Expected Roncy and it was delivered.
Steve hurt Murray with that fist bump
Weird how some names are pronounced the same as here in Australia, and some really aren't!
Same with England
If you take the subway and listen to 680 traffic you knew these easy...
ANd some of these guys are TOrontonians!!??? I love it
I know how to pronounce these street names, but I was raised on phonics, so I choose to pronounce the street names phonetically
Lots of things don't make sense, like taking a photo, but using the off-angle shot for the endcard thumbnail.
FRA-GEEEL-A. Must be Italian.
needed to put trethewey and balliol on this list too lol
As someone who has lived in Mississauga all my life, and worked in downtown Toronto for over 30 years, I found all these very easy, but if I, like most of these guys, saw these names for the first time I'd get most of the wrong too. Here's my contribution: Breadalbane St. ???⬇️ bred-AWL-bin (named after an area in Scotland)
it is pronounced Spud-eye-nuh now, but according to my grandfather who is no longer with us, who lived his entire life in Toronto (from the 1930s to 2010s), it was pronounced Spud-EE-nuh as late as the early 1960s. Wonder why it changed
😂😂😂😂😂 Too Funny!!
Ask then about pronouncing golf courses in late april early may
It's strachan like ex-Cap Tyson Strachan!
Bro casually hanging out with the leafs
The Toronto boys should get all of these.
Haha, I learned it wasn’t quay like a year ago 😂🤦♂️😭👌
Surprised Trethewey wasn't on the list
My street where I grew up I'm surprised to but it's actually spelled Trethewey
@@adandemobilegamer fixed! Thx!
weird they didnt know queens quay. their rink is a block from it
People who have never had to listen to a GTA traffic report a day in their lives, clearly.
Thought for sure Trethewey would be in there
Next time try Balliol Street. There is the Oxford college pronunciation and the Toronto pronunciation.
I used to hear ppl say strawn and wonder where the street was cause the sign spelled Strachan!
That “wow” is from the fairy tail anime lol
what the hell nylander got 5/6 without even trying lol toronto's adopted son. kerfoot did really well too. i'm from toronto and only got half of them.
how do you grow up in Toronto and not know Roncesvalles?
I'll say it again what's with Officer Murray and that hair and stashe. He looks like the henchman of the bad guy in a Police Academy movie....Lieutenant Mouser wowser wowser
that guy's had the pucks destroy alot of his teeth......lol...
Should have given them the old "Tretheway" to ruin their day :)
Lived in Toronto 32 years and easily knew all of them.Get to Windsor Ontario and refuse to say the French butchering of names they have around here like ouellette being ullett and Ford being FORDS ( let’s add unnecessary ssssss, and the best one grande marais is grand meris 🤣
Canadians...Americans...and British...butcher virtually everything in a foreign language. I cringe virtually every single time I hear a hockey announcer pronounce an italian name. They have no clue....so they anglicize everything....and the media doesn't really care that they do that.
I used to live on grosvenor st
Shoulda had Trethewey on there.
Bro I miss muzzin man 😢
Problem is that there IS a Queensway, so it makes it confusing if you're not familiar enough.
Yes, however, the Queensway is spelled just like that, and Queens Quay is not. Given both are extremely well known (and Queens Quay's proximity to Scotiabank) they should see and know the difference.
@@nutritionperfection they're probably confused because the queensway is close to their practice facility and queens quay is close to their arena so they accidentally associate queensway with queens quay
Missed a golden opportunity not including "Thretheway" which I believe is pronounced Trethooie!
To be fair, they can’t pronounce Stanley Cup either !
Get them to pronounce Toronto
simmer and muzz are in this vid, but aren't on the roster, I thought muzz would just enjoy a break now that he's on LTIR for the rest of the season.
the King and Queen meet and the Queen has her Way , is a joke i heard about Queensway
Dangle & JT look like bros
Me visiting there and mispronouncing Yonge and Dundas constantly
F Strachan. Used to work at Strachan and King. God I felt like a fool giving directions the first time
Got em all except Roncesvalles
Aren't some these guy born in Toronto like Mitch. Who doesn't know this if you're from here?
How do the ones that come from Toronto not know their city streets? Stra Chin?
Jesus was this filmed after the all star break? Boys are looking bronzedddd
Who’s gonna tell’em that rancesvalles is actually Ron-cis-vy-ez and Spadina is Spa-Deena
There is credible articles behind thos
Yessir
I feel like there are people like myself who have lived in TO for years, maybe even born here and still do not know how to pronounce some of these insane names hahahaha... Like " Grosvenor" really?
Can you say " Second round" ?
I'm sure none of them can name the streets on Toronto's Stanley Cup parade route...it would be useless info for them anyway.
What about Trethewey?
