Thank you. your podcasts yes donkey of the day for wednesday july 17th goes to ingrid andrews uh ingrid is a country singer and i'll be the first to tell you i know nothing about her okay i did a little research and by research i mean asked meta ai about her and it says she has been nominated for four grammys including best new artist in 2021 congratulations to her okay but once again i didn't know who she was knew nothing about her absolutely zero not a

devil damn thing but i heard about it this week when she did a performance of the star spangled banner at the mlb home run der, and she sounded like this. Let's listen. And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Okay, okay. Fart on that performance. Pure ass gas, all right? It was terrible. Terrible performances happen, all right?

It is what it is. But what is making me bring her to the front of the congregation this morning is the fact that yesterday she took to social media to tell everybody that the reason she was terrible was because she was drunk. Let's go to Access Hollywood for the report, please. Ingrid Andress is breaking her silence over her viral national anthem performance at Monday night's Home Run Derby in Arlington, Texas.

On Tuesday, the four-time Grammy-nominated artist released a statement on Instagram which read, I'm not going to BS y'all. I was drunk last night. I'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. The 32-year-old then apologized for her rendition,

adding, I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I'll let y'all know how rehab is. I hear it's super fun. XO Ingrid. Wow. Round of applause to social media for giving this young lady so much backlash that she decided

to play the I'm checking in the rehab card. Now, I'm not downplaying her situation. She probably does have a drinking problem. I just think it's interesting that it took you ruining the Star Spangled Banner and getting backlash from social media to realize it. Now, F all that. All right? You don't get to go to rehab just because you had a bad performance.

If that's the case, since 1987, it should have been countless people checking in the rehabs all across America for getting booed off Showtime at the Apollo. Okay? In all our days, we never, ever heard someone say, I did across America for getting booed off Showtime at the Apollo. Okay, in all our days, we never ever heard someone say, I did the Apollo, got booed, Sandman kicked me off the stage, and now I'm in rehab. No, being drunk is not an excuse for ruining the Star Spangled Banner. Two of the best renditions of the Star Spangled Banner were Marvin Gaye and Whitney Houston. Icons, musical legends, once-in-a- generation of talents, God-given vocal music

abilities. Let me hear a little bit of Marvin Gaye real quick. Come on now. Banner Yeah How you make it sexy? How you turn the Star Spangled Banner sexy? You can feel God in the building when Marvin Gaye opened his mouth. Let me get a little bit of the late great Whitney Houston. Mm-hmm.

For the man of the free And the man of the free I'm free. And I'm not alone. My God. Drop on the clues bombs for Marvin and Whitney. They did a different level of justice to the national anthem, okay? If America handled black people the way Marvin Gaye and Whitney Houston handled the Star-Spangled Banner, we would be all right. Now, the reason I played both of them in light of everything we know

about Marvin and Whitney now, they both was probably on some high power too. Okay, big cocaine. Probably hit a line before they went out there. Marvin Gaye wore shades through the whole performance. That tells me all I need to know. Whitney said, get high, hit high notes. All adds up to me. That's why I'm not buying the Ingrid Andress, I was drunk.

Okay, now I need to go to rehab excuse. You just sucked. It happens. And now you are just another person who has to join the choir of folks who have ruined the Star Spangled Banner. It's you and, of course, Fergie. Let's listen to Fergie. And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air

Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there That part sound like somebody put a cat in the microwave. Somebody threw a cat in the microwave for three minutes. Let's not forget Roseanne Barr either. Oh. Oh, say can you see

by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars That's Roseanne Barr. She has somewhere to go. I'm going to tell you something. This is just a Charlemagne Tha God observation.

Okay, based off those national anthems we just played, Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Fergie, Roseanne Barr, and then you think about Ingrid Andress, I've come to the conclusion that white people just simply don't love america okay that is the only logical conclusion i could come up with okay white people don't love america the way they think the way they think they do okay if you had to base who loves america more based on how the star spangled banner is saying is black people and it's not even close you can't find me a black person who has ruined the star spSpangled Banner. You can't find one. And the Rockets Who is that? Uh-oh.

I'll make up for it now. For the land of the free. Oh my goodness. Is that Carl Lewis? Yes. That was Carl Lewis. He don't count. He was an athlete. Olympic track star. That's right. I don't know why they had an athlete singing the Star-Spangled Banner in the first place.

He said, I'll make it up. Okay. And besides, Carl Lewis didn't use drugs to represent his country and sing. He used drugs to represent his country and run. Bet you ain't got no more. You ain't got no more black people ruining the Star Spangled Banner. You can't find no more, can you? For the ramparts we watched. That's Flavor? Flavor Flavor. Who is this?

That's Flavor? Flavor Flav. Flavor Flav. Flavor Flav. He don't count. He's a hype man. Okay, why would they have a hype man sing the Star-Spangled Banner? Okay?

And besides, he didn't run the rehab after he messed up the Star Spangled Banner. He's already done his years of rehab, okay? Anyway, back to the moral of the story. The moral of the story... The moral of the story, just give Ingrid Andrews the sweet sounds and the Hamiltones. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day you are the donkey.

Of the day ye are the donkey. You know, you hear the Hamilton's? You should get Ingrid to sing that. I bet all of them have bartenders that make them drinks to drink. Okay? And they drunk them and got drunk, but you won't catch them slipping on those vocals. No, ma'am. No, sir.

Are you serious? Yo, she told the damn truth. What did y'all want her to lie? I'm happy that she was like, I was drunk. She was not drunk. She ain't have to say she went. Exactly. You ain't got to go to rehab.

No, her rehab is fun. I'm drunk. She don't need to go to rehab, though. Why did they pick her? She need to call Tank and J Jay Valentine and go to vocal training. That's what she needs to do. Okay? All right.

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes, indeed. Donkey of the day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Laminsoft. Don't be a donkey when you need a fighter on your side. If you're ever injured, go to MichaelTheBull.com. That's MichaelTheBull.com.
