FORD: "Can I get five espressos in one cup?"
DEADMAU5: "What does that equate to?"
FORD: "I don't know, but it's good, trust me."
DEADMAU5: "That sounds like cardiac arrest." (Via YouTube / deadmau5)
For 30 glorious minutes, Deadmau5 and Toronto's contentious mayor discussed everything from football to potholes and of course bad drivers.
DEADMAU5: "Did you see that? This is what I have to compete with."
FORD: "I'm the first one dead on that one, man." (Via YouTube / deadmau5)
But lest you try reading any further into it — Deadmau5 includes this disclaimer in the YouTube video summary: "This is a coffee run. This does not reflect my political views, or views on anything really."
Even Canada's Maclean's blog noted there was "little objectively newsworthy" about the video — posting this pre-emptively defensive piece explaining why its reporter even watched in the first place.
But everyone's fascinated, because, you know, Rob Ford. (Via Getty Images)

For those wondering, Toronto's infamous crack cocaine-smoking, camera-crashing, drunken-stuporing mayor is still the mayor, despite earlier attempts by the Toronto City Council to remove him from office. (Via Global News)
As for Deadmau5, the coffee-run videos are a recurring bit on his YouTube channel, which feature past appearances from Grammy winner Pharrell, Skrillex and even Tom Green.
