And action.
GC:It is about
David:Hey! Watch your mouth.
GC:My man, g c. David. David Mhmm. By the way, a happy young people.
David:Happy young people. I was gonna say something, but I don't know what it was gonna say.
GC:Yeah. Yeah. You know what? It was just
David:Give me a prayer. That's what I was trying to say.
GC:Yeah. But great boy. She can need to
David:go ahead and become a rabbi.
GC:Think it's a little bit more difficult than that, but you can do whatever you want to.
David:I'm a loyal like you. You're a loyal. Right?
GC:I am not a loyal.
David:Okay. So anyway, on today's show, it's about g d time. Thanks for listening. We are going to be talking a little bit about college football first. And then stay tuned because we're gonna talk about the looming government shutdown and everything you need to know about that from GC. Then we're gonna talk about Howard Stern and how Wokey is lately. And if we have time that we're gonna talk about Prince's half guitar.
GC:We have got to talk about princess guitar.
David:Alright. We might do that. Right. Let's see if we can get through this.
GC:Let's get it, brother.
David:Alright. So this weekend, college football. Mhmm. Let's talk. Highlights, lowlights. So we'll start with lowlights.
GC:Okay. Where my team loses is a bad weekend. And my boys know today. I'm distraught. Because we could have beaten, I say, we, yes, we. I've been a fan of Notre Dame all my life and could have beaten Ohio State. But they didn't. He just has the they have the oldest living quarterback in college football. So he should've I mean, if this guy's, what, a six year senior?
David:He h e is, like, forty five.
GC:He looks no. He may not be, but he Damn show, looks it.
David:No. I think he's about forty five. I saw this picture.
GC:And then, you know, I don't wanna give a play by play thing what happened. What ultimately happened was that they lost and they was wearing those ugly green uniform.
David:I don't understand what happened to their helmet. They have the best helmets outside of the Michigan Wolverine's. They have the best helmet. And they was the weirdest color of gold that I've ever seen.
GC:You've never changed it?
David:Didn't it seem shinier to you, like, cheaper looking? It used to be more of, like, as if you were to melt gold down and have that bronze
GC:Well, they did gold. Yeah.
David:Well, this one seemed like you took it off of a wrapper. You know, off of a Oh. A candy wrapper. No. Not a
GC:Oh, not a hip hop. You're talking about a
David:hip hop wrapper, like a candy wrapper, you know, like a gold like I got a gold and two, you could. You know Yeah. Really want a style and Right. And just like melted it onto the sorry. My microphone's so loud. It's distracting me. Yeah. So I I thought the helmet sounded weird. Sounds weird. Then I thought the helmet looked weird. On the TV, but that's not really the problem, though. The problem is they they did lose. They lost bad.
GC:They did not.
David:It that was a heartbreaker upon heartbreaker. It it would be better to lose by fourteen. Yes. Then lose any last second when you already thought you won.
GC:Yes. And it was in You know, I was throwing pots and pans and tennis shoes at the TV. So, you know, it was but, anyway, that that was the low point for me. I'm not gonna dwell on that. Low point for you.
David:It might be the same game because my parents were Buckeye's. Mhmm. I'm Michigan Wolverine. Right. So there was always a rivalry in the household. And so it's weird because now I'm dating my partner is a Buckeye of all people. Oh, she had to be a Buckeye.
GC:What?
David:And her father is a Buckeye. So watching the game, there's the Wolverine in me that wants Ohio State to finally get served. You know, because they're always on top. I've been seeing them on top for twenty years now.
GC:But not for the last two years though, dude.
David:Well, they've still been on top now. The difference is that Michigan just happens to be right on top of them. So, like, we're riding Right. We're riding a high horse. In Ohio State's the high horse in this metaphor. But so I was kind of there was a pardon that wanted Ohio State to lose. And I used to be a Notre Dame fan, you know, because I was Catholic. So if you're a Catholic, you had to be a Notre Dame fan.
GC:Me, Still, Jesus, bitch.
David:Still, Jesus. Yes. You got all that. But I will say this. Now with four minutes to go, it looked like Ohio State was not gonna win it. Notre dame got the ball back. We're not gonna do a play by play. Right. But Marcus Freeman, I think he's a good coach. I think they're gonna get there. But what the hell? Everybody knows you don't pass. You run the ball to run the clock out.
GC:We're in the clock.
David:They already got a first down. I'm thinking it's over. There's no No. No.
GC:That's what I And
David:then he stops the clock for Ohio State? Yes. What are you talking about?
GC:And plus that defense. You see the defense they were playing?
David:You mean Not
GC:a goal line.
David:On the goal line with only time.
GC:Tell me before they got to that. Oh. It was it was so you and I could have caught a pass in the middle of that field. That that Notre Dame
David:Yeah.
GC:Was playing in his Ohio state.
David:Yeah. And I also saw You know, it it it blew my mind that because I didn't catch it during the broadcast, but I did hear about it later that the last two plays, Notre Dame only had ten players on the field. Right. Are you joking? Is that is that real? Well, so I had to you know, I just put my hands up. I'm like, you know, the better team won. I don't know that they're that much better. Okay? They were pretty even. Right. But they just happened to get that one final and he barely got it. It's not like he stormed in. No. He just got the
GC:ticket. And that was just the trip. Oh, the just the tip in. That was the See. And that was a heartbreaking part of it.
David:Yeah. Was our baby.
GC:Yeah. I just ignored that bullshit.
David:Don't ignore it. They'll have it more. If you don't acknowledge it, I will do So sorry, don't hurt yourself. Yeah. Hollow table. Hollow table. So, okay, that would have been a low light. Now, highlight.
GC:Oh, you know what I'm gonna say?
David:No.
GC:Colorado, Oregon.
David:Well, now I thought that that would be a low light for you. No. You wanted him to go down?
GC:No. No. No. No. That let let me clarify. Like, just a little bit. Hang on. Let me let me explain why.
David:Okay.
GC:Sarah and my wife and I have always been duck fans before the ducks were ducks. I have a I don't know thing about Oregon. I always liked them. You know, my wife more so because of the uniforms and, you know, the flash days have. But anyway, I've always been a duck fan. I'm a prime fan I want him to do well. But I knew going into Eugene that this was gonna be a difficult test for Coach. Called prime. I mean, so those guys came out. I don't know if you saw that game, first down. Yeah. First down.
David:Yeah. I saw it.
GC:First down. So I saw you could see the stalk differences between the two teams. Oregon was just a better team.
David:All the way around.
GC:All the way around.
David:Every every
GC:stronger. And what what was it?
David:What was the special team play? I forgot something that kinda changed the whole game.
GC:Oh, they did they did a fake punt.
David:Oh, that was at the fake punt. Yeah. They're on, man. It was just
GC:Yes. After that. Right. I mean, it deflated the whole team. If you've ever been on the team or a play team sports, one player can just change the whole
David:Oh, you can see them just they were unorganized. The blade had penalties too.
GC:I know it back to back killing. It was killing them.
David:Yeah. And
GC:The quarterback. You know, Zach was seven eight times?
David:Yeah. Which that that actually shocked me because I thought Yeah. He's pretty mobile. I thought that but he was holding onto the ball.
GC:You think he was holding on too long?
David:You didn't think so. He was rattled
GC:Well, you hold on to the ball when you don't have anybody throw it.
David:I mean, that's a good point. But, you know, it's interesting about his his afterward, the post game I text you and I said, hey, you gotta watch this? Yeah. I thought it was good because he was he just owned up to it. He was like, you know, sometimes he's just getting butt open. Right. Won't actually cuss. It's so funny because I think of him. He's so loud. You think he's just cussing all the time. You realize he's not. He's always But he'll say he gets close. You know? He's like, we had a good old butt weapon and
GC:So, dude, let me let's let's just backtrack for a second. What do you think about what coast from Oregon said in his pregame speech to the guy.
David:I have no problem with it. I didn't need it. No. It's easy. He's just saying, like, look, we're we're the real deal.
GC:It's not you know
David:They're going for a they're going for clicks. And we're going for wins. And, you know, I mean, I feel like Prime is gonna say the same thing to his players just in a different way. You know, like, hey, we're you know, people don't believe in us, but we're here and they've gone blah blah blah. That's his coach speak to get your players fired up. But, you know, and Dion was pretty humble. Until I I told you, I was like, man, the all of a sudden, he starts talking. Well, you know if I was out there? If I was playing, we'd be winning.
GC:It would be different. It'd be a little weird.
David:It's weird that he's like
GC:because I've got a gold jacket. Right?
David:He's hungry for a moment, but then he revs up and he, you know, he becomes a deon. I mean, that he has no humble is not his thing.
GC:He he could never afford to be. Why? I mean, you're playing for Florida state. Then you go into the NBA. I mean, the NFL's art. And then you go to MLB. What's there to be humble about? Let me take let me give you a story right quick. I saw Prime playing defense, right, in a Monday night game. I saw him line up in front of the receiver. Play a snap. Ball is in the air. I saw him outrun the receiver. And catch the pan.
David:Oh, wow. I mean, there was actually when he played for San Francisco.
GC:Oh, I
David:remember I don't remember who they were playing. My brother and I are watching it. And there's a guy who caught catches the pass. He's going down this on one sideline. Dion is on the whole other side. Way behind. Way behind. Way behind. And he runs and catches him Yes. And took him down.
GC:Yes.
David:Now the guy still had a great pass, but he was going to the end zone. Yeah. Everybody else was dusted. Except here came prime time.
GC:And this is why this is why that brother has a gold jacket because of things all plays like that. And then, you know, he he brought up a a valid point when he said, you know, people people are playing against me. I'm not on the field. You're playing against my team. They're trying to beat me and they were because all of the hype around Colorado because they were one in eleven years.
David:Well, if they were playing Dion, then Dion got his butt whooped Yeah. But I don't think that'll last for very long. I think he'll get them turned around. I think he's got a tough schedule. He's got USC coming up. Yeah. Somebody else. Who was this coming up? I don't know. I know USC is, like, next or
GC:Yeah.
David:Two games are met.
GC:No. They're in the next.
David:Oh, yeah. Then and I don't see them. They're not. But it was good to start the year with that many
GC:quality Three and one.
David:Yeah. He's gonna out to be three and two. Probably three and three soon or four You
GC:think so.
David:I don't know. I I forgot the schedule, but I know that they're not good enough. I told you this, They were too close. That TCU team is not the team that was there last year.
GC:That's right.
David:And it was a very close game. It wasn't no one ran away from each other.
GC:Right.
David:And then, Colorado State is not great. And they squeaked by. They had to come back. Now, don't be wrong. Any win as a quality win. Any win. But we knew that the effort that it took to beat those smaller teams is not gonna be the effort you need for an Oregon or a or a Oregon. Oregon. Oregon. Oregon. Oregon or USC. So we'll see.
GC:And it it was showed the difference between the boys and the men. Saturday.
David:First men? So outside of those two games, I don't really have anything to talk about because everything else was just kinda as expected, I think. Maybe Florida state Oh. We can buy CLampsyn. CLampsyn. I was kinda hoping CLampsyn wouldn't win
GC:me too.
David:I don't know why. I don't have any reason for that. I was just putting in front of me.
GC:I like this. You know, I used to watch them when they had Travel Arts, and it was really exciting. Yeah. You know, watching those guys go.
David:I I and there's I think there's a part of me that now that Davo is brought down to a lower wrong, and no one really talks about clemson anymore. Right. How how fast you fall from grace.
GC:Oh, look at Alabama.
David:Yeah. And and so I guess even Alabama, like, I never root for them, but all of a sudden this year, I'm kinda like, I kinda hope they're in the mix because What? Because I just want a blue ball. I don't want them to get to the top, but I'd you know, I'm tired of I'm tired of good coaches. Raining for ten years, and then they have, like, one loss. And everybody's like, that's it. Get rid of them. Because they're still great coaches.
GC:Yeah.
David:They take a DABO any day. Right. But that's just college football. There's a lot of parody now. It is. So we
GC:just get it out with the transfer portal and things like that.
David:Okay. That we'll talk about that a different day. Right. Because that's ruining college of a ball, big time. Now it makes parity, but it's turning into the NFL. It's the mini NFL with academics. And sooner or later, guys are gonna work it in the deal. They only have to go they only have to go to college for, like, one. Or just go to college for one year. Oh, yeah. Know, and then you just got the what happened to the college basketball where you're constantly turning over? You can't get a good team if your guys are constantly bumping to the NFL. When you're making that kind of money, where's the effort? So anyway, we'll talk talk next time. Okay. Up next, we've got the uplifting story. Of the looming government shutdown. I admit I haven't been paying attention to this as much because I'm sick into tired politics.
GC:Mhmm. But
David:give us a rundown, mister government.
GC:Mister government. You know, I've I've been talking to people about this issue. And the first thing I get is I don't care.
David:That sounds good. And I
GC:said, well, you know, the government shutdown is looming, you know, these hear the things that'd be affected by affect you personally. Yes. Still don't care. That's what I get. But we have to talk about what would actually happen if this you know, the government said, I I don't think it will, most often than not, they will talk about this political drama But, you know, people need to be aware of what would happen if it does, you know, like things that they said, oh, why the hell should I care about that? Well, you know, it affects the courts. Affects permits. You wanna get a permit?
David:A gun. Then you say a gun.
GC:If you wanna get a gun permit, and a government is shut down, oh my god. We can't get one.
David:Yeah. I was just talking to somebody. Hey, every time It's it's because there's a Democrat in office. Every time I talk to a certain client, They're very cute and on. Very love you if you're listening. But every every time I say stuff like that, like a word, he'll say, yeah, we need to just burn it all down, start over. I'm like, what what do you think that means for everyone? Like, everybody You mean burned government downs by the constitution. You know what? We just need that we just need to get rid of it all because they're all crooks. So you hear this. Right? Because it's starting to become now that now that big big orange is out. You know, everybody wants them back in. And they listened to that bull crap about anarchy Like, oh, it's all all deep state bullshit. We need to go ahead and get rid of it all. Burn it down. And I'm like, what? What sense does that make? And what false equivalency pisses me off? I hate it. Right. I even hate it when a Democrat. Says, like, well, on both sides. I understand. Like, no. No. No. No. No. Yeah. There is on both sides, but there is you know, if you if you got a little tiny handful of shit, from a little baby doggy. And I got a Labrador shitting in my other hand and it's just like wet, sloppy, and heavy. Which would you rather hold? I don't wanna hold neither. But which do you think I'm gonna prefer? I'm gonna prefer that little chihuahua shit.
GC:Well, you in the world of shit either way.
David:Exactly. But the point is which one do you want? One is way nastier.
GC:Well, when with well, let me when they say things like that, burn it down, you know where they're getting there. From or
David:from from X, from from the
GC:Probably
David:X president. President?
GC:Well, you know, Thomas Jefferson said, you know, the tree of liberty is filled with the blood of patriots and it needs to be replenished. You know, he said, so the paraphrase Thomas Jeff.
David:Oh, yeah. So we're going back to that.
GC:So Well, I mean, he starts
David:when he
GC:starts saying that when it you know, when it's not going right, we need patriots to come along and just, you know, rip the whole thing up. Like, when Benjamin Franklin came out, when they signed everything, they said, okay. We got this shit to go. And we're gonna build the government. You know, the south is coming in with us in the north. We are green. You know, we're gonna leave slavery here. Whoo. And when Benjamin Franklin walked out, a woman, he ran into a woman on the sidewalk. She says, so, doctor Franklin, what do we have? He said famously, a republic if we could keep it.
David:Yeah. If we can keep it.
GC:If we and people took took that to mean, you know, if this shit goes goes south, then when you need to do something else,
David:See, miss Gone South. See, anybody who says it hasn't gone South already isn't paying attention because you got January sixth, was as far south as it gets outside of let's do an all out war. You know, you you don't invade your own capital. I still can't get my head around that we all act like it happened so long ago and it was a big deal now. It's like, are are you serious? That wasn't a big deal. But To bring it back to the dead. Okay? Or the not sorry. Not the dead. But she got the shutdown. Right. It blows my mind because they had a deal. A deal was struck. And then you have one little time. See, when I talk about Republicans, let's get this straight. I don't mean all Republicans.
GC:I would
David:I just happen to say Republicans because that's what that group of people have infiltrated, meaning your maggoes Your freedom caucus. Right. And they're turning normal Republicans who are rational. They might you know, normal Republicans and Democrats can totally get along because they might not have the same way of doing something, but they in the end, they kinda want the same thing. For the most part. No. I know there are differences. Bub when it comes to the freedom caucus or the maggots, they have an altered reality. And it's not even a reality. It's some sort of like cuckoo, where the hell did you get that?
GC:But when they keep
David:saying it.
GC:Hang on, though. David, that's because they can. That constituent sent them up there to do that.
David:But it's a weird self feeding. It's like a snake eating tail. What is that? It's where
GC:Not in their district is not. The reason why these politicians are doing that because they were sent there to do that. Because they have a constituency. And their constituency says, I want you to go up there. I don't trust the government. We should have attacked them on January the sixth. I believe in Donald Trump. I don't want you to believe in Donald Trump too. Now when you get up there to congress, you better say and do what I tell you to do.
David:Okay. Well, what about this? Democrat in North Carolina who switched sides.
GC:Because of the abortion issue. Yeah. Well, she's a bitch.
David:Well, that was that was cold. But the the thing I'm here
GC:with you. Let me Let me Well,
David:I was gonna interject because it'd take a long time to
GC:call them. Well, I what I'm saying is is that they have to do these things. You're saying, well, this is that. This is that. Well, because they don't wanna get primary.
David:But see, what I have to interject is, You just told me a nice story about Ben Franklin. Right. He said, take a patriot. You know, you gotta stand up. These people aren't standing up. They're causing the problem. They're not getting anything done. They're causing anarchy. That's not a patriot. A patriot doesn't do things to hurt countries so they can have more power. Because that's all it is. It's a power grab.
GC:It's always a power grab.
David:It always is a power grab both sides. Of course. I mean, look, you know I love John Kennedy. Not the senator.
GC:You might love president Kennedy.
David:Jack Kennedy. Well, I should call him Jack because we're that close.
GC:Right.
David:I love him.
GC:Jack was
David:But you know I know the backstory. He didn't get into power by shaking hands. Well, he did, but he shook hands with the mob he did. And they got him in.
GC:He said,
David:but he was a fan but once he got that power, he did very good things and actually got him killed.
GC:I would say that. Yeah.
David:So what I'm saying is these people are not brave. They're coming in. They're gonna do a they're doing a government shut down because they're not getting everything they want. You know what they want? To cut all government spending.
GC:Right. Why?
David:You don't like the Amber. You got You're spending that infrastructure money, but you don't want it. Oh, I didn't like it, but you took it.
GC:You took it? Oh, yeah. Yeah. But you gotta rein in spending it sometime. Yeah.
David:You know, no one wants a COVID test. No one wants to spend money on COVID test till they got COVID.
GC:Exactly. Yeah.
David:And then all of a sudden, like, where's my COVID test?
GC:You know, just to say to generalize and say, you know, there there have been heroes that have done things that have caused their lives like Lincoln. And then, you know, you got Kennedy, you got King. You got Bob Kennedy. You got these Malcolm X. You got these people.
David:Bob Kennedy is not really Junior. Junior Bobbi. Bobbi. What? What? Is he is he like a little little girl who I'm making fun of? No. He's this grown ass man. He says weird shit.
GC:He does. He has very strange
David:Anti vaccination.
GC:He's like his mama likes you know him saying thank you.
David:I don't know. The whole family's turned against him.
GC:Have
David:they? Oh, yeah. They're like, hey, Uncle Bobby is crazy. What? Yeah.
GC:I didn't know that.
David:Well, you need to read the newspaper.
GC:I do.
David:Yeah. He scares me. But so your point is, these people got elected because the constituents are crazy, so we just need to let it happen. What do you think about the boundary that got these people in?
GC:Oil. That too. I mean, you gotta That's why it's so important. You know, you look at the the the national and the state, but the local politics are really important. And I'm I'm I'm being really serious. And and who you elect? Because they they're the ones that's really gonna dictate how you live your life.
David:Mhmm.
GC:And it's so important. It's just like I think some of the city council members here really don't have your best interests at heart. Now I'm not gonna know. Oh, man. Look at just walk outside. Go down downtown Winston Salem. See how it's gridlocked. The only thing they opened a lot of times in this city is storage. Oh, my So bullshit a part and see that picture. Oh,
David:yeah. We get this we get this wonderful baseball stadium. Oh, they start building, and I'm like, oh, man. Maybe they're gonna do a parking garage for the stadium. Oh, maybe gonna do apartments? Or are they gonna do a restaurant? Maybe there's gonna be a grocery store.
GC:Storage. Storage. Bumblebee storage at that.
David:You know, because if you live downtown, you gotta have somewhere to put your shit. So you gotta have storage.
GC:So screw a store. Right?
David:Yeah. Screw Okay. You're gonna have to have a call.
GC:Okay. So what does that go now what does that tell you about that? No. We we're not gonna dwell on that.
David:I thought that was weird. I thought that was weird. But you're right. Local politics matter probably more than the president election. I I don't I don't feel like that's ever mattered as much as your senators. Right. Because they're the ones All your governors are your governors. Right. But it's it's really bad right now. So do you think that they will come to an agreement? Or do you think it's gonna shut down? I think it's gonna shut down.
GC:I don't think it I don't think it will I don't think it will shut down because here's the thing that the speaker of the house is going to get the Democrats to work with him. He's gonna have to. He's gonna have to turn to them to say, hey, listen, we need your help on this before we have a shutdown. There are some factions in the Congress that wants to want to see a shutdown. But I think Cooley heads will prevail and Kevin McCarthy would turn to the Democratic caucus to help him. Bail them out. But they say, if we bail you out, you're gonna give us some shit too. You're just not gonna use us. So that's how that works.
David:That that might happen. I hope it does. But my guess,
GC:if we don't wanna You can't get you a good
David:I I think I think what I wanna do is I'm gonna bet against you. I'm gonna say, I think they shut down because I don't think they flinched. This is not the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling McCarthy acted like he was willing to take you to the edge, but he knew in the end that we can't do this. Like, they won't say it on TV because then other people will believe it, but they're like, yeah, we can't actually do but government shutdown has happened before.
GC:It will.
David:They'll be more than happy to do it. So I think it'll shut down and then reopen, of course.
GC:It won't be prolonged if it does. Right.
David:But I I still think. So we're betting, guys. I'm gonna go ahead and say, shut down. You're gonna say, it does not shut down.
GC:What's the over? The over point five. Okay.
David:I'm out. Okay. Next. So, alright. Before we start this night, the next thing you heard Howard Stern. I heard it on the David Pac man show, which is a very good podcaster, very young guy. I don't really know his backstory. I need to research it. But he does a lot of political stuff all day long. So if you're listening and you like that sort of thing, I would recommend looking up David Pac man show. I'm giving him a free plug. He doesn't know who I am. Yeah. But that's where I heard about this. That Howard Stern apparently, people are upset about him being woke. So before we start. I have a little clip that I'd like to play for you and see you know what we're talking about. Here he is on his show, Howard Stern.
Speaker 3:I kinda take that as a compliment, than a woke. I'll tell you how I feel about it. To me, the opposite of woke is being asleep. And if woke means I can't get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who wanna be transgender or I'm for the vaccine. Dude, call me, woke as you fucking want.
David:Alright. So you heard Howard Whoa. So Howie. I think that was great.
GC:How well Okay.
David:Let's talk about the meaning of woke. Because white people have already taken work from somebody.
GC:And that's yeah. Okay. That word was really popular when I was growing up. And, you know, you had the radical, you know, like, sixties, seventies. You know, we would make it moves as far as a people. You know? Walk to us has a totally different meaning with it what what it is now. It's a political hot button. This is a a political dog whistle to say they're talking about black people and what they want. We don't want them to learn about their history in school because that means Thomas Jefferson was actually putting one in to Sally Heming's. We can't teach
David:them. What?
GC:Yes.
David:You know, it wasn't. Not my Thomas.
GC:Yes. T j. T j was and he had a lot of beige babies. Let me
David:I know. Isn't it? Everybody's related to Thomas Jefferson? I know you are. I am not. You have to be Somewhere back there. Somewhere, come on.
GC:There's no one in my family with red hair. No one.
David:I see new kids. Mm-mm.
GC:Com. Mm-mm. No.
David:You didn't. No. You didn't.
GC:No. So I go I'll make this point that woke doesn't mean, you know, that that idiot governor down in Florida took that word, you know, and made a campaign on a nice campaign is going That's
David:the thing. I mean, they've made Woken to something that is actually not I mean, look, we've white people took Woken made to something. It's actually not. But we were appropriated like we'd like to do with everything. Mhmm. And we make it better. Sorry. You know, we take that We take the fried chicken and then we we package it and put it out as Kentucky Fried and
GC:And guess what? That damn colonizing thing you did? Wow.
David:But We did it.
GC:And and so it won't means that we were aware of who we were as a people. Yeah. History. That's what that won't meant. So when Ryan DeSantis says it, and I don't know why, try to build a campaign on wokeness as far as being racist homophobic. But that's what
David:I don't get. Why? If that is your choice. No. But if that's your choice, being woke.
GC:Okay.
David:Or I'm gonna be closed minded, racist, and afraid of everyone and keep everyone away from my family. I will take woke any day.
GC:Why did it?
David:If woke means open minded, if it means I'm willing to see the struggles of other people and I identify it, You know, what does it mean that you're gonna do anything about it? What does it mean that you understand when
GC:you say do anything about it? What do you mean when you say
David:What does it mean? I well, like and and I might have been taking this, but I think David Pacman said something about it to this effect. Like, it doesn't mean you can do something about it. Somebody heard talk about this. But what it means is maybe I can't fix your blackness. Mhmm. But I can understand or identify and understand your struggle. As being a black man.
GC:Yeah. Oh, okay. I don't think you prefer to I
David:don't accept it. I can't fix your problem. Right. But I can say, I see that you do indeed have a problem. A a a systemic problem.
GC:Right.
David:I'm not denying that systemic problem.
GC:Okay.
David:Which is being anti woke, you do deny.
GC:But see, that's what he does to stir up the good white folk.
David:Mhmm.
GC:That's why he says those things.
David:But do you think I mean, we talk brought this the last time maybe. I don't think people would be as scared if they would stop stirring up this problem. I mean, people I don't remember. We've all talked about the border. Right?
GC:Okay. The
David:But it didn't become a problem until Trump came along and it was like, hey, they're rapists. Come across that border, and they believed it. I I disagree. Well, it's always been there. But to this degree, where you had
GC:to build a wall. But you the people have run on camp d. People have run campaigns on the border. With the congressional, you know, presidential campaigns,
David:they do.
GC:They are crossing over. This country is getting browner and browner as we sit here and do this
David:I fucking I love it because let me tell you. Little brown babies are beautiful.
GC:I get it. Yeah. You know, I got a couple, you know, basins myself.
David:I know.
GC:But the thing about it is for those who don't want to see that.
David:That's crazy.
GC:You look all that in. That's what we were talking about last week. Yeah.
David:Because you were saying this, that guy who worked the fourteen hour days Mhmm. Comes home. Preach it, and he's gotta put it on the TV and No. Sold as a black man kissing a white woman and a white woman kissing an Asian woman and seeing a black man, kissing a white man.
GC:Can't be going it? Oh, you need to
David:reach LGBTQIA positivity. Oh, it's horrible.
GC:Ladies and gentlemen, he's preaching.
David:Yeah. So but here's the thing. It doesn't change your life. So if you're listening, and you happen to be angry right now because you're like, I don't like that stuff neither. I would tell you this. It doesn't change your life. It doesn't do anything for you to hate. To not for me okay. So, like, when I was told We talk let's talk about your light truck. Win. What do you mean? I'm gonna apologize. I'm gonna apologize. I'm just trying to make a damn point when we talked about this long time ago about you and Sarah and how you had to deal with. Racism as a couple because you were a black man with a white woman in North Carolina back in the eighties, which it was not cool in the eighties. It wasn't cool in the nineties. Because I'm in the nineties. I remember seeing black guys with white girls and there'd be that dumb as white guy would be like, man, taking all women. I'm like, all women. Oh. All women, who She wasn't gonna be with you anyway. I'm sorry. She's she's a She's asking for nine inches and hurt me, and you got three inches and silly. So Whoa. I mean, I'm just saying You
GC:just came off That's the top of your head.
David:I'm just saying it's it's a it's I mean, it might be a myth. I don't know. I've never seen it, but you know what I'm just saying? I'll talk about them.
GC:I like that. I might have to use it.
David:But I'm just saying, these these people get all upset and you had to deal with it. But my question is that all these people are upset, what do you care? You guys do care. You have beautiful children.
GC:Who I have?
David:Yeah.
GC:I have gorgeous. Yeah. Absolutely. No. They're not gorgeous. Could there
David:be any dunning? Could there be any problem with that? When you meet them, you're not gonna be like, oh, came from a black man and a white woman.
GC:Oh, you know, here's a good thing. Small enough. You look like me. None. Not one.
David:No. They don't their way prettier.
GC:Yes. They are.
David:Wouldn't it be scary if they did? But Like, you would address?
GC:Oh, I think that that Always one of my kind of you know, I look at it sometime, you know. And I'm like, oh. Like, which one? The oldest one. Yeah. Yeah.
David:No. Wait. Wait. Come on. Come on.
GC:She does
David:not look like you. I mean, she might she might have one. You can tell it. She better. You can tell she's yours. But don't ever say that. She she's pretty. Baby is gorgeous. That's why this woke thing.
GC:My baby is gorgeous. You know?
David:But let's just get back to it. The fact that half of the country or close to Mhmm. Thinks that woke is a bad thing. So I love what Howard said, where he's like, if If you mean I don't like Donald Trump, fine. If you mean that I like to get a vaccine when science because science is fucking awesome.
GC:I kinda like it.
David:Okay. Let
GC:because he gave us Velcro.
David:I got COVID. Oh, he gave us Velcro. I didn't even think about it.
GC:And a microwave.
David:He gave us tang. Tang, man. What's the shit? Yes. It was. Did you
GC:drink tang?
David:Oh, yeah. But I'd mix it with Country Time lemonade half half. Oh, did you Oh, yeah. Mom used to do that. That was how she used to get us to work on their rental properties.
GC:Right.
David:She knew that we hated it, but we got to get up early on Saturday morning, but we'd see that big cooler full of a is a pitcher, a cooler thing, full of tang. Half country time. Y'all were balling. Y'all were balling. Lowdown.
GC:You could afford country time?
David:Oh. Antane? Man, yeah. We Y'all have one doing that. But Hey, man. They they they had their struggles, but they fed as well. And then we go down to Bell Brothers Downtown Winston Salem. What? That's my favorite restaurant ever, and it's gone. That was the best restaurant in Winston Salem.

GC:white people food? That shit tastes like a blanket.
David:I don't know how we're talking anymore.
GC:I'm just saying, man.
David:I mean
GC:I I know it's the top of your lane. I I'm just saying, you know, I'm just definitely like it.
David:Well, alright. Well, let me just say it was in a bad part of town by the airport. It was not great.
GC:Okay.
David:And we were not. There were not that many white people when we would go. So you're telling me there's white people food, but there were a lot of your people there.
GC:I'm just saying
David:What I used your people?
GC:I'm talking about when I used to work at the fire station. That was close to there, and they used to get that that food all the time. So I I'm not telling you something I think. I'm telling you something I know.
David:I well, okay. Well, let me let me
GC:you have the salt dead shit. Well, yeah.
David:They don't because they know black people have high blood pressure, so they wanted to save your life. You wanna kill yourself? Go ahead.
GC:Who have really? And then you had you had pull ins down down the street from it. I never had that. You never had pull ins out dogs?
David:I think I might have. That might have taken me there, like, one time, but it wasn't our go to. You don't let that little stand?
GC:No. It's a little house. It leaves
David:a little
GC:bit That was on
David:the road, but it It's like a stand when you get there, though. It's like it's really tiny. It's still
GC:a house. Yeah. It's gone now. No. It's not. It's still there.
David:Oh, then I'm gonna go. I can just I can just take the bun off.
GC:Yeah. I'm glad to have.
David:We I'm gluten free. I'm good and free.
GC:Oh my god. Don't see.
David:Okay. So, yeah, woke. So I think we're in agreement. Woke is a good thing. Okay. And then last one. Take it over, brother. We got about five minutes. Let's talk. Let's talk about that. You know, found that. What do you wanna wrap it up?
GC:You wanna wrap it up? Great transition.
David:This is a great transition.
GC:I was at a club, a night club here, a local night club. And I was with one of the band members. And me and my wife were having a drink. Let's wait for them to go on. He said, hey. You know what? Guess what I have? I'm like, what's up? He said I have a picture of prints. Guitar. Which picture?
David:I thought you said you saw the guitar. I did. Oh, okay.
GC:And end of it. And
David:nine five.
GC:And he said, you would you like to see it? I'm holding Prince's guitar. This guy, yes, this was a big guy. But I've said, hey, why are you holding a ukulele? Now, when that's small. And and he's like, no. That's not a ukulele. That's a princess guitar. Obviously, it's a get out of here. He's like, yeah, he played a half size guitar because he had little hands. You know, Prince is only five too.
David:Man, I can't even believe this.
GC:Let No. Listen. Now, I am not taken away from the genius of this man. This man was genius. And everyone knows the modern
David:name of sorry, man. Yeah. He was.
GC:He was. Does that take away from who he was because he played a little guitar?
David:No. I just I just didn't know he played a little guitar. I mean, we know I I mean, come on. No. Thanks. Because especially when he was starting out, man, he wasn't he wasn't buying half size guitars when you start now.
GC:How do you know that?
David:Well, because I saw pictures, man, and they were big. They were big. You just
GC:get to how's it now?
David:But are you sure that it wasn't just tiny because it was all cut out and into that little symbol that he did? No.
GC:This is it it look like a ukulele. So I mean but, you know, like, you and I discussed this before we went on air.
David:Yeah.
GC:When these guitar was bigger than his?
David:Yeah. It was. Yeah. She was a big girl. She was not compared to a competitor
GC:to prom too. They they bought the same exact odds.
David:Mhmm. Now when he was probably, like, five five five six.
GC:David, you are a guitarist. Why are you not?
David:Mm-mm. I own a guitar. I did not play well, so I can't call myself. Okay.
GC:So are you saying he could with his little hands, and his little feet that he wore pumps on. No. I'm just saying he wore pumps on. Listen,
David:as a sexy bitch,
GC:he was. Yeah. He, you know, him and boy George mentioned, think a little bit there.
David:You sexy motherfucker?
GC:Yeah. So he played a little guitar. Yeah. Oh, and that's that's all.
David:Mhmm.
GC:So does it takes away from the the the mythical status of prints?
David:Don't think anybody ever thought that was anything but fun size.
GC:Because he couldn't pick up Eric Clapton's. Oh, Jimmy Hinge was a good time. Play
David:it. Maybe not, but let me tell you when he picked up their riff. He wailed.
GC:He did. And with his little hands,
David:that we talked about this when the I will still and you know what? I'm probably gonna watch it damn after we're done.
GC:Okay.
David:But while my guitar gently weeps when they did the Oh. He comes out to play that with Tom petty. Eric wasn't there, but they had all these people doing a tribute to George Harrison.
GC:Oh, Joe's Harrison. His son was out there.
David:Yeah. And who's on the drums? I don't remember. Does it matter? No. It doesn't matter because Prince walks out for that solo. Of course, he won't come out for the early part of the song. No. He's brins. Right. Through that. So he waits, comes after that solo, and that boy wailed and wailed and wailed. And it made Eric's now he took now that was Eric Solo, but he took that solo because Eric Klappen wrote that solo for my guitar, generally weeps.
GC:George Harrison wrote the song.
David:Okay. I got a clap downplayed on the
GC:app. Sure. Right.
David:So here comes out Prince and he's looking at pet he's like, yeah. We're gonna keep going. Yeah. You wanna yeah. You like this. Oh, yeah. Now, I mean, what are you gonna say to Prince? Like, hey. You could wrap it up. No. They're just like, yeah, man play. Keep playing. And he's just wailing. And he hits those. I don't know what noted it is. He says, it barely.
GC:He's bending the nose. He's bending around
David:Yeah. It's just crazy. It's going nuts. I mean, I am like sweating him a butt crack while watching that. I mean, it's just it gets my I can feel it drops of sweat coming out of my pours under my underarms a little bit. Or he I tell you, yeah, he wailed that thing in the end. He just tossed his
GC:jacket out.
David:Then, I'm done. And he walked out with that little, like, cat walks truck. Right? And he always walked like a cat. Yeah.
GC:He did. Mhmm. Oh, his little guitar.
David:Yeah. But I loved how we talked about this. How he was such a badass. And he's playing cream wherever that was. You can look it up on YouTube. He plays cream acoustically. Right. And he starts playing it. And this is it. Time and
GC:the audience is, like, trying to sing with them. You're like,
David:getting at the band. Yeah. It's your time. And then they're supposed to go time. Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't hit that right. Audience didn't come in. It's like mhmm mhmm mhmm. He stops the whole thing. Mhmm. That boy had it. And then, of course, he sings another verse. And he's he's, like, talking about something about I forget what the line is, but it's a cocky line. It goes, you know, I wrote that song about myself. Right? Well, I was looking at the theater. You know, I wrote that song while I was looking at the theater. Right?
GC:Oh, and
David:everybody laughs. He's like, no, seriously. No. Seriously.
GC:That's that was him.
David:I know. He was the most beautiful arrogant genius that you know that if you met him in real life, you'd you'd have to hate him because he would just tear you a new hole and give you no respect.
GC:I saw Prince live in concert in nineteen eighty one.
David:Before any of that.
GC:Oh, well, he was
David:no. He'd purple rain hadn't happened.
GC:No. None of that. But everyone knew who he was.
David:Yeah.
GC:He had just released controversy. Yeah. And he came out in a tan trend's coat. Right? And a thong and boots. Yeah. And I was confused because I was of, like, zero
David:Say what? Oh, yeah. Wait. Wait. No. I shouldn't. Wait. Wait.
GC:Wait. He picked up his little guitar because The time open for him. Right? Mars day and the time. Yeah. They were just the time then. And they opened up they blew it out. You know, they did what time does. Then Prince came out and the smoke and you know, Windy and Lisa
David:To the building. We are gathered here today to celebrate a thing called life life.
GC:No. He came out controversy. He
David:picked it up. Yeah. Yeah. What's the
GC:Yeah. So and he picked it. Now that I look at the videos, if if we're watching Sarah and I are watching you know, a prince, you know, she she is a huge prince fan. If we're watching it, you know, it's great to watch. But the first thing I watch is is guitar.
David:Yeah. And he's underrated as guitar player. No.
GC:He's not. He you remember when you don't remember this when he died. They were doing an interview with air captain. And they said, who was the the best guitar?
David:I thought that was a myth. No. That wasn't actually said.
GC:He said that.
David:I thought that was just one of those memes that went around. It wasn't actually true. No. He
GC:said it. He and people thought he was going to say Jimmy Hendrix and he said no. He just died today. And he was talking about referring the prints. But I was just saying you if next night, let's see how it says.
David:Oh, well, okay. Before we wrap up, All time favorite print song. Got one. Whoo. I know how you do it.
GC:You put me on the spot.
David:Alright. If you can't do one. Oh, yeah. I got one. That always pops up. It's what I'm saying. Cream. I don't know why.
GC:Oh, really?
David:I look so far.
GC:So I can visit you.
David:No. I go up to that video. With Diamond and Pearl Oh,
GC:yeah.
David:Him, I'd strutting around in just the hole.
GC:Oh, I know.
David:Oh, yeah. The thing The guitar was so badass. Now, I love the Batman album. That was the first album I ever bought on Vinyl. Right. Was bad. Batman. And then it was sent by George Michael, those two. Yeah. I bought what? What? What? Go ahead and say it. Go ahead and say it about George Michael. I'm not What are you saying? What are you saying?
GC:I'm not gonna say it.
David:Say it, dare say, say it.
GC:I wanna tell you my favorite song.
David:Yeah. Tell me. What is it? Dorothy Parker. Why not be picking some, like, obscure, like, it's not even one of the greatest hits, bullshit. I mean, come on, man.
GC:Are you serious?
David:No. I'm not saying it's not great. Look, everything is great. I'm just surprised you didn't say anything else. I mean, purple rain would be the obvious choice. That's why I didn't say purple rain, and it's not my favorite song. But actually, never take the place of your man. That's one of my favorite.
GC:That's a great one.
David:But I do love sexy motherfucker. Poplife is a good one. Poplife is good. And I'm trying to think of
GC:all that.
David:That one, man. That just gives you sand. You're in your car, you're trying not to, and somebody cool pulls up next to you, and you have to, like, stop flipping it, but you can only stop flipping it for a few seconds, and you're like, oh, fuck it. Right?
GC:That's right. You even stop picking your nose in the car when the wind rolled up.
David:I fucking love friends. Do you remember we were at work when And did that? You were there?
GC:We went to dungeon. Yeah.
David:We were in the dungeon. Yes. You found out. I think you told me.
GC:I did.
David:And I remember I was like, no, man. I'm just like, I'm totally
GC:done with it. Yeah.
David:I had to go to the restroom to cry. Did you really
GC:Yes, man. I said he gonna cry when he get into bed.
David:Oh, I cried. Oh, I cried. I did. I did. You did
GC:back up.
David:Oh, yeah. I sat in the stall for a minute and I was like, I sat down. I go. Did the Do you really affect you?
GC:Do you do that that much?
David:Man, he was You know, I didn't love his later work as much. You know? Right. I started I started teing it out.
GC:Kind of.
David:But when I was a boy, There was nobody other than Elvis that would make me feel how I felt when I'd listened to Prince. And I would listen to the purple rain. I had it on tape. Man, I was just like, wow. I wore that shit out.
GC:Did you?
David:And then I watched the movie and the movie's horrible, but I still watch it. I still watch it. Oh, this is funny.
GC:I felt that way about Michael Jackson growing up because I was I'm a Jackson five guy. That's what I wrote about it.
David:But, I mean, with all that weird stuff though, I mean, there was, like, I can see the sadness, but I feel like he ruined that whole of the kids stuff. Oh. Michael Jackson, when he died, He was surrounded by so much controversy already. He'd been out of the public eye for a while. He was just doing that comeback tour. Right. And it was shocking, but there was a party that couldn't be as sad as it was for Prince. And they were very Oh. I don't wanna call Michael the same genius as Prince because he wasn't, but they were very But he was they were considering his
GC:own rights.
David:He was. He was.
GC:He was. And you you know this better than I do because you're you're a vocalist. But when that kid would sing, it was angelic.
David:Oh, Michael. Michael Oh, when he was a boy, Jack's and Fine? Yeah. That was the best.
GC:That was and, you know, and he because his voice changed, he had to transition, and he turned it to something that people are still mimicking. What was that what's that dude named that we play? The weekend, the month to month, whatever his name is. I don't
David:know what his name is.
GC:You know what I'm talking about?
David:You're talking about. I don't know.
GC:Yeah. And then this this new guy who's who's sounding like Marvin Gay. I don't know if you heard him. I I have to look at it.
David:He sounds
GC:like he was just like Marvin Gay.
David:I love Marvin Gay. Yeah. He's listening to Marvin Gayen.
GC:Oh, okay. Well, yeah.
David:That's one of my best if you're a listener because we're about to go. If you wanna look up the National Anthem Marvin Gaye singing it at the NBA All Star first game in nineteen eighty something. Yeah. That is the best rendition you will ever hear
GC:of the season. People would say Whitney Houston was a You don't I
David:would say that was beautiful and clear, but he rewrote it, and it became badass. And why more people don't use that version? I I don't know. I think you might have gotten their words wrong at some point, though. But anyway, it doesn't matter because it's Marvin Gaye. It is perfect.
GC:Marvin Gaye, yeah, I don't know about that.
