We're about to get erotic in this. How did it's about to get erotic in this motherfucker. Notice how I just said, yeah, because you pointed to me, and I didn't know what you were wanting from me, but it is the DJs that like to mix it, throw it back, and that's it. Justin's taking off his shirt for some reason. What do you think?

Because it's erotic city. That's what I mean? It's Prince. You're not going to make it through. It's Prince. It's the purple life. He's looking for a dame. He wants somebody to be his wife.

life, we could until the dawn. It depends on when we started doing it. Like, what if you started doing it just before dawn? Like, right before,

the sun is about to rise. And what if you start doing it five minutes before then? I'm looking it up. Like, he's making it seem like a big deal, but really he just gave you five minutes of nothing. Like,

you just banged it out. It was like, Kik, Khm. Okay, I searched it. It says, What time is dawn? And it says 6.14 a.m.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow. 6.14. Like, it changes every day. Yeah, but the point is, like, dawn is a morning. Morning. So we're saying, that's what I'm trying to say is he's trying, we can fuck until the dawn. When did they start? Is my, my

point here. Because they started at 10 p.m. And he went from 10 p.m. and just what was that? Stop, stop making all these sounds. All the way until six fucking 14. I don't want to see you do that again. All the way till dawn. What was

dawn time again? Six 14. Six 14. and he did it from 10 to 614 That is that is a solid 8 hours of slamming it out But if he started at 610 Yeah yeah we don't know when they're

And then he was like We can fucking do the dog And it's four minutes later All he did was Okay we're We're jumping away ahead of the gun here This is Prince Erotic City Right

And he begins with all my purple life I don't know why Prince was so obsessed to purple. This obviously comes from purple rain. Purple was all about a... He was like... Purple's apparently banging. What?

I don't know. He doesn't even make you... Put your shirt on. Can you... No. It's a like city. Where are the city of eroticism, sir? Realize that before you continue it.

Okay. So he says, All my purple life, I've been looking for a dame. Which is interesting because I feel like there was a little bit of... of like, I don't know what exactly Prince is looking for. Is you looking for a little bit of this?

Or is looking for a little bit of that. It's a little, the way he carried himself, the way he acted. You know, you're kind of like, it's very androgynous, you know. According to this song, it's a dame and a wife. That would want to be my wife. That was my intention. Maine. Then the chorus comes in with, if we cannot make babies.

Which is still him. Which is still him. Like, he's the chorus. I'm saying, if we cannot make babies. No, all I'm saying is, he is, he is the chorus. So you said the chorus comes in, but it's just Prince and a different. It is still him, yeah, but it says chorus. If we cannot make babies, maybe we can't.

Why is he, yeah, let's, wait a minute. Yeah. That's kind of a deep. Right, it goes right to that. Is it because he's using a condom? Is it because maybe he's actually talking about a fucking a dude? Or is he? Can't make babies with a dude.

Did he have a vasectomy? And therefore he has the inability to make babies. Did Prince have any kids? Did the girl that he's trying to be with was on birth control or some type of shot that held her from being able to have babies? kids how how did they why do they make this whole yeah he has a son named ameer nelson is that prince is it prince nelson first i've ever heard prince like i we never knew that he had a son is here prince nelson doesn't why can't they make babies i don't understand that he's making

it's a very deep statement that's very like he jumps right into the babies conversation which i was like well i thought we were talking about erotic city and like there's just kind of a you know That's fucked up, man. There's a lot of things that can go wrong here. And we've discussed them all, and none of them lead to any kind of comedy that I wanted to continue to discuss. Now, it's best to get out of that. Yeah. Fuck so pretty, you and me, erotic city come a lot.

So basically, I feel like the general... Wait, where'd you go? The whole gen of Erotic City is like, about a lot of fucking. This whole song is... Where'd you go to, though? What are you talking about? You skip forward on that. Where'd you go?

No, I didn't. We just went from if we cannot make babies. Maybe we can make some time. Thoughts are pretty you and me. Fuck so pretty, you and me. Oh, see, mine says thoughts are pretty you and me. That's a huge difference. That's what I was getting to.

That's why I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Check yourself. You have the clean version. Maybe they did the clean version. I always go genius, baby. Oh, I'm going to. Mine's the lyrics. The lyrics.

Yeah, see, you change it up every time. I'm very consistent. I do it on purpose to try to make sure we get all variations. But you're always sure. that yours is right. I'm not sure here. I just want to let you know what mine was saying so we can clarify and dissect.

Dice. Watch this. Erotic City. Yeah. Okay, well, I think the difference here is that I have like the raw version and you have the clean version. I imagine that that's how they would change the words. Yeah, okay, because the next one does have

the one does have fuck, but it has an apostrophe like a like the star. Yeah. Do it. Up in the top on F-U-C-K, so they might be the edited version. Okay, well, then what is the post-course say for you? Thought to pretty you and me. Erotic City, Columbia.

So what's the next thing to say? We can fucking till the dog. So yours is, like, not clean. But it says F, like. Like they put the little star. Okay. Until the dog, making love till cherry's gone. I don't know what that means?

Nope. To cherry, maybe because she's... Did you take a brief? Is that what that is? Come on, Prince. Oh, we dissected this? I don't want to go and continue on. Let's just keep going, push you through.

Prince is kind of good, isn't it? Erotic City, can you see? Thoughts are pretty you. Let me just say this about Prince. He feels like a guy that, like, I don't really want to know what he's, like, really getting into it, too. Like, it feels like a guy, like, if we, like, if we dissect it too deep, we're like, ah, shit, dude, Prince.

But, like, if you're comfortable walking around with, like, the thong-ass thing that he would do. He's just like ass out and everything. Like, I feel like there's a lot of elements that I'm like, maybe that's not like dig too deep in. I feel like he combined like eyes wide shut. I don't know what that means. You ever seen the movie? Eyes Wide Shut?

Yeah. So that movie. It's like weird like sex parties or something. Yeah, yeah. With like weekends at Bernies. Like putting glasses on a dead guy. Yes. With Blade 2.

What are you listing? What is this list? I want to understand what you're talking about, but I'm, you're all over the place right now. just tie it together in a bow somehow it's getting erotic because all I was trying to get to okay is all I'm trying to get to all I'm trying to get to

all right or not is your play button just broken oh there it goes every time I call my hair butts you're saying I'm alive

Chipmucks can do that over Oh man this song just gets better Alvin than a chipmunks Make an appearance The chimp monks They get featured in there Nowhere. We also had to discuss, like, just the happiness of this beat.

Like, this little whistle, like... And the fact that it was a B-side. It was a B-side. Yeah. The B-side to Let's Go Crazy. Legendary album dropped from Prince here. They weren't even going to put this in the thing originally, I think it was going to... Like, this song didn't even make it at first because it was too much.

It has banger written all over it when you hear it. But apparently it was too much because they're like, we can fucking till the kind of. Like, Rodic. A lot of people probably weren't ready for this kind of. Oh, my God. And this is like early Prince, too, right? Like, I think it's some purple rain. What year was this?

What is? Yeah, yeah. And it's part of Purple Rain's album, which is just banger after banger. And I think, you know, it makes me get erotic, as you can see,

man. Yeah, Justin has actually taken his entire shirt off and now it's wrapped around your head. It kind of looks like a burq, no, or whatever you call this. It's called a burke. I don't think it is, but there was a line in there that I actually...

Okay, first of all, making love till cherry's gone definitely means like he's... That's just, I don't want to go there. We already passed that. I told you. I know, but he said it again, and when I heard it again the second time. He says it four more times than the entire song.

Like, just, I don't want to talk about it. That's a weird line. Okay. Well, maybe, maybe he's drinking a Shirley temple. Whatever you're going to guess is stupid, I'm sure. Drink a Shirley temple. And you know how you forget to eat the cherry at the top?

And it gets to the bottom. And you're like, you drink the Shirley Temple. And now it's time to eat the cherry. And now you eat the cherry. So he's like, maybe they're doing it. it and the entire time he was drinking a Shirley Temple and then we got to the end of the Shirley Temple and it was time to eat the cherry and now

he ate the cherry and they they were done boning. Maybe it's that simple. He's still talking about Shirley Temple? Sorry, I zoned out. I was reading the lyrics. I heard you say cherry like 20 times. I got the gist of what it said. It's Shirley Temple's. Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is. Every

time I comb my hair, thoughts of you get in my eyes. Wait, why have thoughts? Not to get in my head. Yeah, just think, you know. He's like, Seeing a guy, he sees. What if he's actually seeing it when he looks at the mirror and it's like in his eye holes? And it's weird as fuck.

Because he's living in some weird prince reality where it's like a crazy. Thoughts you. You get in my eyes is a good, like, that's a good one because it's not really in his eyes. It's in his head, right? But in your head is actually your eyes because like when you're looking in your head, you're still able to see it. That's trippy. That's a good line. It's a good line, Prince.

I never even realized how deep that line was. Good job, Chris. You're a sinner, I don't care. We all are. Creamy thighs. Why her eyes creamy? Is that the colored thing? Or is, that's another good line, though.

Creamy thighs is, no matter what, they're good. Like, I can't think of they're thick or skinny or, like, whatever they are. They are creamy. I like that. Let's go back to you're a sinner, I don't care. Because, like, you know what he means is just like, oh, you're bad. But what if it's just like she actually, like, commits arson on the regular? Regular.

Really bad? You're talking like... She's a sinner. She, like, thieves. She possibly murders on the weekends. She thieves from their local store on the regular. She steals from homeless children. She goes to Juan Pollo and steals like a entire rack of chicken.

Whompoyo? What is that? Chicken. Sounds like a Fontana restaurant that doesn't exist anywhere else. Yeah, like... I can't believe you never have Wampoio. It's delicious. Sounds like a boring chicken.

Yo, shout out to Wampoyo. If you guys want to represent and, uh... They'll get shit on chick fillet. Actually, I don't even care. I feel like everybody loves chick filet. There's no way chick-fil-A. It's definitely better than Juan Poet. Is it Juan Poil?

Oh, I'm saying. I'm trying to give us representation and some promotion. And you're trying to get Chick-fil-A. One-poil. And I can guarantee that chick-fil-A and there we don't serve on Sunday's asses is not going to fucking give us anything. So like the fact that you're giving chick-fil-a any kind of, hey-ho. Okay, Google did.

and one pollo It's described as a restaurant company This is what the first thing that I'm seeing So Mexican-style rotisserie chicken restaurant chain Headquartered in San Bernardino Oh that's out here! That's funny! Oh, we talk about such stupid shit

You really go down some dumb rabbit holes. Okay, we can fucking... Oh, we already said that part. Yeah, no, we saw the curb with us. If we cannot make me busy, repeats himself. Prince is talking about fucking a lot. And outside the original thing where he talks about a dame that he wants to make his wife, like, this is all could go either way.

You know, I'm just saying. Well, this next line we're about to get into, he tells, all of my hang-ups are gone. How I wish you felt the same. We can fucking till the dawn. Till the dawn! What does that be? This is where, well, I don't know what that means, but this is where Alvin and the Chipmunks decided to make a quick entrance into the erotic city of world. Was Alvin and Chipmunks even a thing at that point?

Yes, this is the 80s. This is when they made the Christmas fucking song that we're about to go over because it's about to be Christmas after this episode. And Alvin and Chipmunks fucking suck with their... Whatever the fuck they do with all their stichets on. I hate them and they decided to make an entrance into the erotic city. But I got to be honest, their answer to this is slight. It's slight and perfect.

Like they come in. That's all they say. And it's perfect. So Prince knew, I can't add too much of Alvin. I can't add too much of the chipmunks. But if I can get to them to do a quick little, you know. That's all you needed Alvin for. And it was perfect.

Maybe he just got like Theodore on the track. I think that was Theodore. Alvin cost too much money. Let's get Theodore. It was Theodore. You can like jump in real fast with this little fat ass. Get in here. Theodore.

I will pay you in. Alvin? Alvin? Alvin? Yeah, because Alvin's a little asshole. little star. For some reason he got top billing. Because he was the asshole. Bad boy always gets the fucking flavor.

Right. Right. We should be appreciated. He's a sinner. Maybe that's who Prince is singing to. That's a sinner. He's like, you're a sinner. I don't care. I just want your creamy thighs. And it is well known. The Shipmunks, they have the creamiest thighs of all. I don't know where we went with it. Just play the song again. It doesn't matter. It's a shoulder shake of Justin.

I was shaking the whole time. I didn't take off my burqa. It's now off. And I've gotten fully erotic. Okay, you got to know what it looks like from my angle right now. I look naked in this, man. He looked completely naked. I'm actually going to take a photo of this. We're going to post it.

I'm sorry, for some reason, like, you ever have, like, a moment where you look through it with a camera lens, which is actually my phone camera, but, like, it just looks way funnier. Yeah, yeah. This is really funny. Yeah, we're going to actually have to post it. Ah, we got a good post. No captioned. There's a reason why we wanted to do the song.

There was a wedding by our boy, Jay Way, Jason Malibuya. Shout out to the girl, Tammy. They got married, and I'm sorry about the ceremony. I don't know what that fucking sound was. Dude, I didn't, I didn't, I don't know what that fucking sound was. Okay, backstory. As they're doing their vows, suddenly the microphone starts fucking up. They start fucking up, but I don't know.

I'm the DJ. Everybody turns and looks at Justin, and he's got his hands up playing. I don't know. I don't know what it said. It literally said, and then just stopped. And I looked at it. And I was like, I didn't do anything to stop it. Yeah.

And it just stopped. And it was fine for the rest of the day. Credit words do. They all powered through. They powered through. He said a joke. Jayway said a fantastic joke. Yeah.

He's hilarious. Because he made it good. And it's almost like it was planned. Yeah. And so he made it cool. But fucking A. This is why DJing irritate. Anyway, whatever.

So anyways, during the ceremony, we're playing this. Justin's DJing. Oh, yeah. I played erotic City. One of the guests had actually requested this. And I'm okay with guest requests. He requested this. I was like, yes, because I think J.W.

Would enjoy this. Played it. And then Castle decided to... I started capturing Justin, and he just started getting... He was feeling the erotic city, right? He steps out. He starts taking one step. He takes two.

He starts, like, you know, almost like strutting out from behind the DJ booth. Boom. He starts taking off his belt. Whips it around his head. He's like, yeah, da, da, da, da, da. Takes off a jacket. He just starts, like, getting basically undressed. Classic moves.

This is... We will also put this up on their Instagram page for those of you that are actually... Check out the clip. We're going to show the entire dance of me getting down at Jayway's wedding to Erotic City behind the DJ booth.

Castle caught it all. He even told me he was... I stopped for a second because I was like, I'm gone too much and he was like, what are you doing, dude? They were like it. They want it. They want it.

I was like, do they want it? And I kind of in my head, I didn't say that, but you see my head turn into the next two minutes of... And then it gets back in. do it. I bring it down. Yeah. Yeah.

Exactly. I break it down right now. Erotic city. Whoa. So that's how... And just to be frank, that actually, I love that part. It's not part of the great. That's like almost like a bridge without actually having a bridge.

It's like a moat. You know? Whoa. Whoa. Like nobody's ever made more happen with less words than Prince when he goes through the interlude with his woes. And I don't even know it's Prince. It might be like his whole... What was this group called?

The Revolution. The Revolution. Man, Prince was on fire in 1984. He just got up. Yeah, I mean, he made a whole song about Erotic City. Vaguely talking about fucking, but very much so talking about fucking. Like, they couldn't have played this on the radio, but they... They did.

They probably did. Yeah. Eads were a wild time, man. And then, you know, it's funny, the version they played on the radio, the editor editor version goes, we can... You can clearly say it's like... It's not a lot of ways you can change. He said, fuck.

Like, they were... trying to say fuck there. The biggest part of this song that I actually have to say that we dissected, that's still a little hard and creepy for me to figure out, is making love till cherry's gone. Now, unless it's the Shirley Temple being drinking. We don't want to hear your whole description of Shirley Temple. I'm not.

I'm just giving my quick example. You say cherry like nine times. If it's not that or like, I don't know what the cherry's gone, making love till cherry is just a virgin thing or is that way people refer, I don't know. Making love till cherry's gone. Is that Hmm It's just

I feel like you make The moment You start It's gone right So you can't like I don't know what the What's the cherry reference I don't know what the cherry reference

So that's the hardest As far as we're dissecting That we weren't able to really like It feels like Feels like a giant reference That's all I'm gonna say Feels like a bad It feels like he's going a little deep

Deeper than we want to do Had to be said Had to be said But other than that Whoa You're so creamy You're so creamy You're so creamy

Like, he's, it's good. And he's talking about the Alvin and the Chipmunk. Like, Alvin and Chipmunk's coming real quick. Tehavis. Thank you, Alvin. That was a popular thing. Deodor, actually. They made, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, it was Theodore. Yeah, yeah. And it wasn't Simon's. You got clarification. I actually looked it up, it was Theodore of the... Theodore was on the track. Yeah. And he actually makes a point here to make sure, like, Alvin gets all the credit,

but this would, I want to make sure it's known. To be honest, they did have different voices. And if I'm trying to remember correctly, I think that sounded like Theodore. It was. They're a little bit different. We should dissect a Alvin on the Chipmunk song. It's the next.

Oh, we're going to do the Christmas one. It's Christmas time. We're going to do the most annoying Christmas songs. Most annoying, the ones that we hate and make sure we bash the shit out of them. We will properly shit all over Alvin. As much as I love to see it or Alvin is in its erotic city. So, Alvin, erotic city, man. I'm going to go ahead and give this thing a...

How are we rating it out of five slaps? That was cute. I got erotic with it, sir. I wanted to do a little dance, but they wouldn't hear that, so I wanted to make the sound. Do it. Do it. All right, here we go. I will explain what's going on.

Okay, I'm not going to explain it. I don't even know how to explain that. I'm kind of bummed out. I'm bummed. I'm bummed that I even just saw that right now. That was a... It was not fun to watch. I'll give it three claps, two snaps, and then another clap.

because you got to get erotic. You got to put some style to it. And this song just brings back those memories of like, you know, did he say, because even on the radio, I remember hearing this or whenever I heard it, it was like, but he can't fucking,

did he say fuck? Like, he always wondered, the beat was always dope. It always made you dance. It's a classic song. It's not a fiver. It's not up in the five round, but it's up there.

You can put this on and I'll enjoy the moment pretty much every time. I have fun dance floor memories of this one. It's definitely one that like when it comes on and you're like around a dance for it like, oh, We're doing this now?

Are we going around? Exactly. Yeah, exactly. That's my cute, as you say. Yeah, okay. All right. Now I'm going to go with... Shit, be careful.

Holy shit. Castle's... Castle took it back to fucking college real quick. Oh, my goodness. I'm going to be honest. It's been a while since you've been a while since it didn't burn. I'm a little rusty. A little rusty with it

It's almost done You know, I didn't react nearly good enough As I should have on the mic for our I was letting you I gotta be honest I know but That was so unexpected And I honestly was just a complete surprise

Like Oh Oh shit Castle's Oh he did the He did the worm He's doing it verse I did both

Dude I haven't seen that shit in a solid decade Bro Look okay Did it look okay though I know it wasn't as good As I did It wasn't like magic carpet status. No, when we did Aladdin and lipstick.

It wasn't magic. It wasn't. I was in practice to that point. It wasn't SWAT. You know what I mean? I'm disappointed with how out of breath. You ever like walk up the stairs to her house and like feel out of breath? Oh yeah. And you're like, shit, wait, am I like completely out of shape now? Yeah, yeah. It's kind of how it feels like that.

That was more work. So is that? Yeah, yeah, that was part of it. It's three. I think I gave it three slaps and then I gave like a three worms back, three worms front. But that worm is like next level. I know. It kind of takes it into foreclap.

It puts it in foreclap territory, but that's why I left it at three, you know. It's good, dude. I'm out of shape. Breathe from the core. Release, open the chest. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, man, you got erotic with it. I had to.

To say the least. Yeah. Well, I kept. We did start videotaping ourselves. Would you guys? I actually kept my shirt off. Would you guys watch if we videotape? Because Caslow is a master editor.

He edits for all the big dog sports companies. I don't know if we can name them, but I'm fucking, you know, I'm not going to name it. But NFL, ESPN, all the big dogs, ABC. He has videos. It's Fox Sports. Fox Sports, ESPN, NFL, some random fucking other ones, flag football ones I've seen. What are you talking about it? The flag football one you did was dope.

That was a dope one. That was NFL. NFL, see? So he does all the master editing. All we need to know is, like, if you guys want us to do it, you guys need to, like, actually did it. Because we got to a million followers recently, not a million followers. Million listeners.

Missing listens into all of our stuff. Yeah. But when nobody ever comments, I got to be honest, I'm just going to call it out. You guys, talk some shit. Talk shit. We got a website. Don't hate. Don't get me wrong.

Don't hate. But talk shit. Like, I hate it. I hate it. What's our website? Just know I'm coming at you. I just know I'll come at you, bro. First of all, I didn't even.
