Oh, what's going on, ladies and gentlemen? It is the dissect DJs. And you know you got the music when the DJs come on. Especially when the DJ's got them surgical gloves on. And they're ready to dissect. That's right. We're about to dissect many songs over the next couple of years. My man Ryan Castle is with me.

One of the dissecting DJs. And you're with me, DJ Jagg. Castle, do you have a DJ name you're going to be using? Are you just DJ Castle? Dead Castizi? What are you doing, man? You know, DJ Castle is almost too. obvious so just Castle and then you know I'm a DJ. I like you. I don't know it.

DJ Castle, you can golly that, but we could also drop the DJ. Not every DJ needs to have a DJ name. I agree. I agree. You know, someone's like Calvin Harris is tied to go. Calvin Harris doesn't actual name. Diplo. Although I don't know this bad. I'm going to look that up. I don't think it's his actual name, but that's a weird. Welcome everybody. It's the dissecting DJs. From this point on, we are going to dissect many of songs. What we basically do is go through each and every song that we feel like is important enough for us to go through in detail and dissect the absolute shit out of it. We're going to get intricate with it.

Intricate. I'm going to play that. Yeah, I like it. I don't know. Is that bad? Was that bad? But in any case, Castle, I did not believe has ever heard this song. Now, I heard this song when I was driving down, that I even went freeway in some ridiculous

traffic. And I was like, wait, what did I just listen to? Yeah. And I might, you know, I'm not going to claim that I haven't heard either way, but you told me the name of it and it didn't ring a bell so so you might have heard this but it could be because i don't many james i don't think it's on his playlist i've never heard him see it isn't that i would know that so therefore we're going to dissect the song is called stroken by clarence carter and ladies and gentlemen it is a classic so we're going to get this going all right i'll turn this up

when i stop making love i don't just make love i be stroking oh that's what i'd be doing coming in I immediately I can't tell what this man looks like at all that's all I'm thinking right you know like what is he he came in what have you gotten me into right let's go ahead let's go ahead right back into the beginning it's next to why I'm like 10 seconds ready one two I don't know what I'm involved it's almost sounds like when I start making love I don't just make love I be smoking what is this thing I be doing I be stoking So when this man starts making love, when he starts making love, he doesn't just make love, okay?

He starts stroking. He'd be stroking. He'd be stroking. And that beat? I want to say. That beat doesn't leave the rest of the song. I know it doesn't. It immediately sounds like the most basic operation.

My Spanish teacher in 10th grade used to play a really basic, what she would call a rap, for us to remember the capitals. No, the capitals of the different Spanish-speaking countries. And she said, it's a really terrible song, but it'll make you remember it. And you know what? She's not wrong because it was the same kind of beat. It would be like, it was the most basic. And then it would just be this woman going, Caracas Venezuela. Caracas Venezuela.

And then it would go, and then they would add the next one. My teacher taught me the School of Rock. Yeah. And I forever remember the eights. Yeah, I remember. 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, that I'll say 80. and we're all through. Now say aides.

Yeah, exactly. Eighths I got, I never forgot. Annowing music could help. So immediately I'm thinking, Clarence, whatever his name was. Clarence Carter. Clarence Carter could have used his annoying, very cheap backtrack to do very educational things, but instead he elected to use it to let you know that he didn't just be making love. He'd be stroking.

He'd be stroking. I'm beginning to fear that this song is not going to pick up at all. I feel like I've already heard the whole. I feel like I've already heard the whole song Now you've heard a lot now The thing about Kleris Carter is he's going to ask you So many questions in the next three minutes That you're going to have to ask yourself and your woman

Have we done that? And you're going to have to say yes or no And figure out if you want to or not in the future Wait he's going to be asking me questions Yes are you ready? Here he comes Of course Let me ask you something This gay is the least sexy voice

That out for sure yeah Everybody I mean, if you've been making love, which according to him, making love is, I mean, we're bounding, right? Yeah. I mean, is he, I mean, if you want me to dress the stroke apart, my main thing is, like, he says, I'm not just making love. I'll be stroking. And I think it should be the opposite. I'm not just stroking.

I'm making love. Like, you're taking a step back just by stroking. Because when I imagine that, I just imagine him doing like one, just single position move, you know, doing like headboard. rotation the whole time. I'll be stroken, that's it. Have you heard this song before? Never. No, this is the stupidest song I think I've ever heard. I'm going to love it by the end. The song, dude, it has one of the classic

his life. I still can't, honestly, I'm having a hard time figuring out this is a black man or like a white farmer. He sounds like a character and like, king of the hell. Here we go. Keep in going. Oh, definitely. On a couch? On a couch. Yeah. I mean, you have to understand.

When this song was made, this is a song. My mom told me. What year was this? Because it could be anywhere from 1953 to like 2007. I believe the song is 1973-ish or whatever. And I'm going to look it up. But my mom, my mother, I talked to this mom. Yeah, I shared this mom with her.

What is wrong with your family? I shared this all. We have a different upbringing. I shared this song with my mom. And she was like, yeah, well, we used to dance to this. Nobody knew what he was talking about. I'm like, how do you not know what he's talking about? My mother is 70 right now.

was born 1950 so this was well mid-20s for her. I think she's fucking with it. I think she's just like trying to avoid the conversation with you about it. No, no, no. My mama would tell me. Mom would have told me. This is a entire song. Oh, definitely. I mean, that's high school.

I had, yeah, no, it was in my college days, but like, I had, you know the silver bullet. It was a very small Ford Escort, but. I remember the silver bullet. Yeah, there were times where that was all we had to work with. But, yeah, I mean, backseat of the car, that's almost like, if you have not done it in the backseat of a car, you never went through a youth. I don't know, man. Sometimes the back of the car is that place. If you have a nice back of a place that need to be.

That's what he told the police. That was how you responded to the police. And then it sounds like not only did he say I'm stroking, he just kept. I imagine he looked it up and he's like oh fuck and they're like can I what are you guys up to back there and he looked at him I'm stroked no no it was like and it was like a five second pause maybe three seconds and he's just like I'll be stroking and not only does he immediately start boning in front of the policeman but the music then comes on somehow the beat just starts as soon as he leaves no the cop like starts getting it too he's just like dancing he's just like looking at it outside the car imagining this in the music video and like the police officer just starts dancing with him for some reason He was fired the next day. This is the part where you say you could probably cancel because he's about to stroking for the next.

We can dance, Cassie. Come on. No, this song makes me not want to dance really at all. Wait, let's answer that question, cancel. You call me out? No. He goes, huh? I should make love yesterday.

I mean, no, kind of. Did you make love last week? No comment. Absolutely. I mean, of course. I mean, if he did. What kind of sad life do you think I'm learning? That you planning on making love?

I mean, consider it just me and you doing a podcast and I'm going to say. I'm going to say no. We already set your bed up on the couch downstairs. Yeah, my couch is ready to go. Yeah. No, sorry, Clarence. I'm going to say no on that one. Sorry to hit you with a no.

When you start making me... Hey! Clarence Carter. This song is very limited. This part is I'm going to talk to... That a whole lot of layers to this one. No, you get through it. The last verse is the best, though.

Here it comes. Is it just him asking fuck questions? Is that the third verse? Now, the last version talks about him and a specific woman. And listen to what he has to say here, okay? This is what maybe... Can I guess what he has to say?

Yeah, sure. Let's hear what your guess is. I think he's going to say. I'll be stroking. That me, that's how I was going to... No, that's my guess. That's how he's concluded. Yeah, it's gonna...

But listen to what happens in between. This is the verse that when I was listening to it, made me stop go, what? Replay the whole song and be like, okay. You actually went back to the beginning just to hear this verse? Because I, no, yeah, no, I reround. Oh, was that a cassette type? This, no, it's my CD. I have CDs in my car.

I still run CDs. It is what it is. I respect that. I have them all random mode. So what I do is, I put the stuff. songs on, try to see if I know them, what year they're from, what artists sang them. It's my job as a DJ to understand all the music. So when I played this one, had no idea what it was, I was like, all right, whatever. Let it play. Two and a half minutes go by. I'm like, I don't

know. And then this exact verse comes on, and I'm like, wait, what did I just listen to? And then, I've listened to the whole song. And ever since then, I've actually been in love with, I've been stroking. Sassified. And I can always tell when she gets sassified. I think he's saying sassified. Like, sassified. You think it would mean the same thing as sexified?

Yeah, same thing. It's all exactly the same. But listen to him and how he sessifies his woman. When she gets sassified, she starts calling my name. Here it goes. She said, plans car, plans to call her. I was stoking my woman. Good to her.

You know what she told me? Let me tell you what she told She said Stoke a Clance, Codd But don't stoke so fat You can stick it up my Shit Clarence Got me stopping this song

Like you can put it in my Woo I'm being stroking But I was right He did say he was stroking I nailed that portion of it But did you think his woman would say If my shit isn't too tight enough

You could stick it in my I didn't see that comment This song was made in early 70s, and he was pulling that shit out? I'm also going to say that not one woman actually shouted Clarence Carter. Clarence Carter. Sorry, bro, your name just is not one that a girl is going to scream. Oh, shit. Not Clarence Carter.

I don't know, man. I'm sure that woman actually did. I've got to be honest with you. When you're an artist and you're a star, is this guy's stu? That's kind of, we're kind of playing fast and loose with the term star right now, I think. It's Clarence Carter. Clarence Carter.

If I look at Clarence Carter Magic Johnson has the best porn name ever Yeah, I was wasting on a basketball career Anyway, that's the end of the song Wanted everybody to know And yet there's another 12 minutes

On the track He's gonna keep saying we're stroking But uh Apparently if his woman Isn't tight enough He's gonna stick it in her Oh Hofstice stroking

Did he actually make that sound You didn't hear that shit? You don't need to play Let's go back. No. All right. Well, he did. Go listen to it.

Clarence Carter's. Stroken. Yeah. Classic. I don't think I got any more Clarence Carter than me. Well, you know what? I'm all Clarence Carter out. You enjoyed it for the moment and you had never heard the song.

I'll be like Clarence Carter. So, Cassa, what do you think about the song Stroking? That was fucking terrible. Did you not enjoy the? Absolutely not. It was the stupidest thing I've heard. Come on. Come on.

This guy gets me one to stroke. Guy doesn't even sing. He just kind of, it's like. It's like enthusiastic talking. He basically just gave a sermon at like a sex convention. That's what that sounded like. Like, and he was trying to work him up into a frenzy. And he's trying to get him hyped on, like, stroking.

And I think he over... Overstroked? Yeah, no, definitely. No, I think he wants us to think that, but... Claire, it's collard. Claire, it's caught it. Oh, shit. Anyways, ladies gentlemen, that is... I think he over-enthusiized how much the stroken thing was going to catch on.

I think he thought stroken was going to catch on. Like he was going to catch on more than it did. Like a United States, like American thing. Like, we're all stroken. Do you think he was thinking stroken was equivalent to fucking? And he didn't want to say fucking? Well, yeah, it wouldn't have got any play. I mean, I don't really feel like it did either way.

I fucking. Fucking. Fucking. Fucking. Like very similar. I wonder if fucking was like maybe in 1973 not that prominent of a term, maybe. Maybe not. You think it was like boning? Either case. I'm just trying to come up with, if you think.

I don't know. It's weird to imagine if terms became more popular over there. What was a word back then? I don't know. Stroking, I guess. I mean stroking. And with that, ladies and gentlemen, that's it, man. That's all the episodes.

We're going to go through X and every song that you ever wanted to hear. And we're going to dissect the shit out of it. Hope you enjoyed it. Clarence Connors. Stroken. Castle, we out. Yeah, I'll be stroking. That's it.

We'd be stroking, baby. I was almost certain that was going to rhyme that with mouth. I think that's what he was trying to do. I think so, too. We out. Lady, y'all. Wait, you can't, dude, we just determined that at the end there, he made an innuendo to suck him dick, and we're just going to...

No, no, he was eating her out. He was eating her out. No, I think he was stroking with his mouth. You didn't want to... Yeah, no, I'm not going to go with Clarence Carter. I thought at the end, like, dude, we're trying to fade out right there, and then, like, it just went out on it. Like, real quick, he's just, like, low-key's like, oh, I'll be stroking with my mouth. And I'll be like, what?

I know. Sorry I messed up the whole, like, out. Maybe you caught something there. Maybe you caught something here that nobody else ever caught. Here we go. Oh, not yet. Here we go. It's a palaces.

Here we end. We're just talking about how he was about to stroke somebody's dick with his mouth. That's the only way I hear that. Son of a bitch. Because you don't go down. You don't say you're stroking if you go. on a girl but you definitely stroke on some dick

oh my goodness we're talking about a dude the dissect DJs just dissected the fact Clarence Carter Sucked a lot of dick There it is Mission complete Dissection

All right We almost ended the episode before we figured out And we didn't realize that Clarence Carter Sucks him It literally was in the fade out He just He just He thought we're gonna gloss over that part

I'm a fade out listening And we almost did I almost did Yeah But my boy was in the fade out of it boy, DJ Castisi was able to dissect and find out. I'm a parent's carter. Yo.

You're a motherfucker you like some dick. I get surgery. It's all good. We all like what we like, dog. All right, so how are we rating this one then? How many slaps? Am I giving it? Yeah.

Yeah. One slap? Yeah. You only give it one slap. He said, she said, first of all, a ball, he's saying it, you can stick it in my, oh! In 1970. Oh, come on.

I heard all the time you said strogan, yeah. This is a bad song. I'm never going to listen to this song. I did not enjoy it. I don't see myself playing it ever again. I appreciate you showing it to me because it was funny

and it's good for this, but yeah, it's just like a, it's more of a bad to me. You give it a half a slap? Just like a light slap? A light slap? A light slap, like not even slapping. At least you give it something.

Yeah, it's not going to suck. All right, all right. Why? What do you? Why? Why? What do you? You ready?

Yeah. Two. I gave it two. I gave it two. Hard two. Clarence Carter goes through some unique questions in a very early time. So I got to give him credit for that. The song is terrible, though.

Let's be honest. Like, you can't dance to it. She'd be stroking. Like, what is he talking about? Still can't tell. Like, was anybody ever getting down in the club to this? Like, the DJ ever hit this? And everybody was like, I'm stroking to the left.

And everybody was just like, yep, we're doing to the right now. Everybody to the right. Like, if that was happening, I kind of want to be there. Kind of want to be there. But yeah, two slaps is all I'm giving it. I can't, I still don't, I'm not even sure if he's a white guy or not. I never got that answer. You know what?

I haven't, should I look that up really quickly? You want to Google it? Yeah. Should you Google Imge? Fillet it in a good thing while I say this real quick. Google Imge Clarence Carter. Because I'm not, I'm seeing, I'm seeing a wide spectrum in my head as to what this guy can be. Oh no, he's definitely, he's definitely very black.

Can he say? flip it flip it this way I would not I would not have seen that coming at all but now that I'm seeing it it makes sense yeah yeah yeah it'll it'll just all the dots got connected to the left

all the dots got connected right yeah he's not gonna it didn't give me any more slaps on it though it's still no no it keeps you where it is but yeah man that's uh that's what I got for Claren's Carter for you and no one ever heard from him again

I don't know what I was talking about this But with that I think we have done Clarence Carter enough justice And gone through enough stroking To know that it is time to move on I think there's only one word of to say Next Next
