You know, I talk about what I see on Instagram all the time, you know, like how my Instagram just shows me sad shit now. It's like, hey, you might have ALS or this was my husband

before the ALS took everything from me. And this is my husband right before we found out he had colon cancer. And this is him now and all this other sad shit when all I want to watch is horny shit. But I can't watch horny shit anymore because then show me any horny shit anymore. Well, there is one good thing that keeps popping up on my feed. It's something that I followed because it's wonderful. So there is this kid. And I think he's 16 years old and he's autistic.

Okay. And, you know, I like to watch the love on the spectrum and stuff. Although I have a hot take. I have a take that is unpopular and that's fine, but I feel like if you're going to be out in the public eye and try to be a celebrity, if you're going to make things, I can be critical of them, okay? I can tell you if I'm annoyed by them. I love all the people on love on the spectrum. However, I'm really annoyed by the country singing kid on there. Tyler, is that his name?

I'm Tyler White, like Big Puddin. Speaking of Big Pudin. So Jilly told me she screenshot it's something she saw today that 790 in Houston had Tyler White on. And in the tweet it says, we're talking to the Great White. I'm like, no, you're not. You're talking to fucking Big Puddin and you know he's Big Pudin. Last time I checked the most significant moment in Big Pudin's career. He was called Big Pudin.

And they called him Big Pudin on the MLB Network. They didn't call him the Great White because that's stupid. But I digress. There is this kid on Instagram. So all that to tell you that I find the country singing kid annoying, the autistic country singing kid. Now, I was a big David Nabi guys, you know. And I don't know if we've spoken since David Nabi broke up. You don't want to talk about the heartbreak I felt when I heard that David Nabi broke up.

But it was one of those things that felt inevitable, didn't it? Like you felt like, like, what's that one song? Is there a Garth Brooks song? Like, she's going to make it and he never will? that's kind of how I felt watching the two of them. Like I always felt like Abby was just too much of a, she was too much of a butterfly and David was limited. David, like, and David wanted different things.

You know, Abby, she was kind of DTF and she wanted to go on adventures and ride water slides and sing and make music. Beautiful music, by the way. Boyfriend Forever. All-time banger. Like David just wants to sit around, you know, and look at animals at the zoo. And I don't know that the,

relationship ever matured. It obviously didn't. And I think she wanted to get married. No, David didn't want to get married. So I don't know what to tell you. All I know is that I was crushed at the dissolution of the David and Abbey Union. It was tough for me to handle. I was despondent for days, curled up in the fetal position, questioning everything when David and Abby said their goodbyes. But I'm really annoyed. I'm irrationally annoyed. New name of the podcast at some point, whenever I change it. I'm irrationally annoyed. You want to hear the most dickish thing any humans ever going to say?

I'm irrationally annoyed by the autistic kid that sings the country songs from love on the spectrum. But I am because they just fucking suck. They're not good songs. Actually, that's not even fair. They're fine. I think what bothers me is they sound exactly like most country songs that I think most country songs currently suck. Maybe that's it. Look, love Tyler,

but I've gotten Tyler, Tyler over exposure for me on my Instagram. And I wish good things for him. He and Madison. Tyler and Madison, they have a lovely union. I like both of them. But I'm irrationally annoyed by the country music that Tyler sings. And I'll send it to people and they're like,

like I'll send it to buddy, like Jim Mud or something. I'll be like, Jim, this shit annoys me. and he's like, you're fucked up. You are a fucked up person who is annoyed by the country music singing of somebody of love on the spectrum. Well, screw you.

We make things just for college life, like the Rosen Mando blackout curtains in gray. They say you can't put a price on sleep, but we did for the low, low price of $49.99. Why are you in my room? Shh, go back to sleep. You have a big exam tomorrow. Shop back to school at IKEA.

But anyway, something I'm not annoyed by, something that is beautiful, is the beautiful singing of this autistic kid that I stumbled upon on Instagram. Because basically he just sings a bunch of yacht rock songs. But the account is Jack and Dad Music is what it's called. Jack and Dad Music. And this kid, like he just sits there while he, I say a kid, I think he's like 16. And he sits there putting together. like Legos and stuff. He's like reading out of the manual, as I say the manual, if that's what you

would use to build the logo, Lego robots and stuff. But he's in the manual and he just sings while his dad sits behind him and plays guitar. And he's like so unassuming in the way he sings. He is the most beautiful singer I've ever heard. It's Jack and Dad music on the gram. And these videos are spectacular. And he just sits there putting shit together, you know, reading how to put together. Like this looks like he's putting together like a Lego treehouse or some such shit. And he's just singing these beautiful songs. Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry.

And you wonder, like since he's autistic, like you wonder if he knows the impact he has on people. because rarely do I comment on people's things that I like. Usually it's just shit I hate and I'm like, this is fucking stupid. I'm an awful internet person. But not with Jack. Like I'll comment on Jack's things about how beautiful he sings. I've got sunshine. And he doesn't look at the microphone or anything.

He's putting together his shit, the Legos and his dad's sitting behind him playing an acoustic guitar. And he's just singing like a bird. I'm a cloudy day. There was one he did. What was the damn song he did that was amazing? Oh, it was just what I needed you most by Randy Van Warmer. The most random song, and it was spectacular. Sailing takes me away.

I'm sorry, Jack, I have to stop you there. We are a staunch, no-sailing household. You don't want to get me started on how sailing is the most overrated yacht rock song ever, and only lazy bastards call it the best yacht rock song ever, because it has sailing in the title. So we cannot listen. to that jack i'm sorry little darling it's been a long cold lonely winter here comes the sun little darling and this thing will get millions of views

bad luck was always hanging around a good role was always letting me down this kid sings incredibly my way I can go the distance that Michael Bolt? I'll be there

someday after all that we Oh my man's singing 80s 80s Chicago While he's sitting next to a giant kitty cat

made a Legos that he's still putting together This guy is a god I promise to And after all that's been You know what I think bothers me about

Me, I can't know. You know what I think bothers me about Tyler's country singing. Back to Tyler from Love on the Spectrum. It's kind of like, in a way, like stay in your lane. Like the same thing I would say to Pat McAfee, like nobody gives a shit about whatever you're singing. Just go do your little show. Stop singing.

It's kind of the same vibe I get from Tyler. Again, I'm aware that I'm a monster of a human for that take. Trust me. I love Tyler. I love Love on the Spectrum. It's one of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen. But I find myself irrationally annoyed by Tyler singing these country songs. But this kid I love.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I wonder how much money they make off of this. Like, if they get a video, like I saw one video on here that had like 20 million views. If you get 20 million views on a video, how much money do you make off of that on YouTube? And on YouTube, but like on Instagram. Because like every now and then I'll get a video. message about monetizing posts and shit and I'm like well I mean I don't have enough like I'm not

going to waste my time with that but if you have 20 million views and each of your videos is getting like a million two million views how do they calculate that and like can you make serious bank I would imagine you can't otherwise why would people keep posting like weird videos of their cooters and shit oh I'll come running oh yes I will to see you again oh I want to do a collab with my boy. Me and Jack and Dad. Winter, spring, summer, or fall. Winter spring, summer, or fall.

All you gotta do is call. All you gotta do. And I'll be there. Oh, yes, I will. You know what? You got a friend. One love feeds a fun. Look at that.

That's like a haunting version of this. Well, the guy is putting together a Lego kitty cat. I like their kitchen, too. Good house set up for Jack and Dad. Better than I ever did. Looking like a true survivor. Bealing like a little kid. Boy, this kid rules. I love him.

I don't want enough pretty. Get it, Jackie. But just anyone to hold. I don't want to let a minute go to waste I want you in your beautiful soul He rules The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are grown

Wait a minute The line is the leader of the band is tired This whole time I thought it was the leader of the band Has died Jack has taught me something Jack and Dad, way to go That has 117000 likes by the way Jack and Dad doing Leader of the Band, which is such a good freaking song.

But his blood runs through my instruments, and his song is in my soul. My life has been a poor attempt. I want to collab. So if everyone I said could make you laugh, I talk forever. Get a little Uncle Jesse in this bitch. Where's my favorite? Oh, I love this song. A little Jim Crochy.

You always stop from Philly. I hope I didn't wake him. It's from Darby. Oh, what I've got to say, can't wait. I know you'd understand. Every time I try to tell you. Like, I feel like, here's what I feel. I feel like, if I were a 16-year-old

Autistic kid, I'd be Jack. Maybe in a past life I was a 16-year-old autistic kid, and I'm Jack, and we share a body except like I would drink a lot more. But other than that, I think he and I are like the same guy. Where's my favorite, though? No, no. Oh, yeah. Well, could you help me play. Top five song of all time right there, as done by Jack and Dad.

But you Left me Just when I needed you mo That is an undercover Yacht Rock banger A lot of people don't appreciate the Randy Van Warmer A lot of people don't Everybody thinks about like the obvious cuts, the obvious yacht rock cuts.

My man's singing all the yacht rock jams. Underrated yacht rock jams. Let's see if we could find a list.

Bobby Caldwell. Ooh, George Duke. He's got some jams too. Pablo Cruz, pages. There's some hidden ones in there. Some underrated Yot Rock jams that you don't get as much because people focus on the obvious shit. But, boy, radio had some banger. That's Ray Parker Jr.
