When allergies strike and canines conspire, who knew that the result would be a country music sensation? Buckle up for a whirlwind of hilarity as we join Buke Lion, who takes us along on his accidental tumble into the world of twangs and tunes. Buke's misadventures with his dog and allergies sparked a comedic goldmine, culminating in the cheeky anthem "John's Dog." You'll get to experience the quirky charm and laugh-out-loud moments as we dissect Buke's lyrical storytelling and witness his spontaneous performance - complete with a tongue-in-cheek acceptance speech that's sure to entertain.

As if that weren't enough, we're also your linguistic lifeguards, diving into the frantic sea of modern slang. Ever felt like a fish out of water when someone says "no cap" or calls someone a "simp"? We're here to demystify these confounding colloquialisms and even take a nostalgic trip down the vocabulary vault, revisiting phrases that might conjure up memories of yesteryears. Wrapping things up, we channel the essence of what it means to be Mission Men and Women, leaving you with a sense of connection and a hefty dose of good vibes. Join us and add a spark of joy and a dash of enlightenment to your day!

So you're kind of telling twodifferent stories here and I'm
kind of at an impasse here.
I don't know what story you'retelling.
First, you're telling me you'resuper allergic to this dog, so
you kicked it, you got rid of it.
But in this song all you'redoing is crying that you miss
him.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Well, the reason is is I have what's called reverse
psychology.
What?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
No, Paul, this is a real thing.
I've heard of this.
Okay, go ahead, John.
What is reverse psychology?

Speaker 2 (07:22):
It's where you psych someone reverse, okay.
And the thing is here is, thisis what we call hook.
If I can grab your attention bytalking about my dog, you won't
leave.
Now, the dog might leave, butyou're going to stay.
Wow, and what I really careabout is that the viewers, the

(07:43):
listeners, are going to stay.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
The dog ran away.
So you're saying to listenersstay, stay listeners roll over,
stay sit.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Okay, all right, then what Then?
What happens after you havethem?

money in my pocket from the songand the views.

what we do.

hit song.
