How To Get Free Dave’s Hot Chicken On Drake’s Birthday

Drake’s birthday is coming up and for the second year in a row, Mr. October’s Very Own is giving fans the gift of free food via the Dave’s Hot Chicken chain (in which Drake is an investor). The chicken chain, which started in California but has since expanded to Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New York, and more, has quickly become a fast food favorite, and Drake’s involvement has certainly been at least a factor in its growing popularity (check out Uproxx’s rating of their sandwiches here).

How To Get Free Dave’s Hot Chicken On Drake’s Birthday

On Monday, October 24, you can get a Dave’s Hot Chicken slider or tender at every Dave’s Hot Chicken from 11 am to 9 pm local time. You’ll just need to download the Dave’s Hot Chicken app and scan it at the counter. Unfortunately, you will have to go to the restaurant, as this offer isn’t available online or through third-party delivery apps like DoorDash, GrubHub, or Uber Eats.

It’s probably fair to say that Drake’s had a pretty solid year since last October 24, when he turned 36. He had a highly successful tour with 21 Savage, dropped another album, For All The Dogs, and even released a book of poetry. So what will he do for his 37th year? Take a break, apparently. He’s certainly earned one.

Why Is Jon Stewart’s Apple TV Show Ending, And What Could This Mean For ‘The Daily Show?’

Jon Stewart fans got a hefty helping of bad news on Thursday. The comedian’s new series, The Problem with Jon Stewart, will not be moving forward with its third season. The show strived to do something than Stewart’s old gig at The Daily Show by taking a deeper dive into singular topics and only releasing episodes once every two weeks. While that approach took a while to catch on, The Problem did break through the cultural zeitgeist in its second season thanks to Stewart’s unrelenting interview style where he pushed back on anti-trans and pro-gun legislators.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, both Apple and Stewart had agreed to a more aggressive weekly episode drop for the third season. However, things went south when Apple started voicing concerns over the show tackling China and AI, which prompted Stewart to walk:

Sources tell THR that there had been tension between Apple and Stewart ahead of the show’s third season return over topics featured on The Problem. Those same sources note that Apple approached Stewart and informed the host that both sides needed to be “aligned” regarding topics on the show. Stewart, sources say, balked at the idea of being “hamstrung” by Apple, which threatened to cancel the series. Stewart, sources say, wanted to have full creative control of the series and, after Apple threatened to cancel the series, told the tech company that he was walking away from the show rather than have his hands tied.

Naturally, Stewart fans can’t help but notice the timing of the comedian walking away from The Problem. For the past few weeks, The Daily Show has been publicly having issues settling upon a new permanent host to replace Trevor Noah, and look who just became available.

Of course, it should be noted that The Daily Show has been looking for a new host for an entire year now. The timing of Stewart leaving The Problem is almost definitely a coincidence.

That being said, is there a chance Stewart could come back to The Daily Show? Sure, anything is possible, but the comedian has repeatedly stated his intentions to do something different after feeling worn out by the grind of four episodes a week. We wouldn’t recommend holding your breath.

Meghan McCain Told Ted Cruz That Seth Meyers Can ‘Go To Hell Forever’ Over A Very Uncomfortable Interview

Seth Meyers had Meghan McCain as a guest on Late Night in 2019. The interview got… uncomfortable.

Meyers grilled John McCain’s daughter (a fun fact that she never brings up) over comments she made linking tweets made by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, which she “unequivocally apologized” for after some deemed them to be anti-Semitic, to the Poway synagogue shooting. “Don’t you think other people who talk about her need to be a little more thoughtful, as well?” he asked the then-The View co-host. “Or do you stand by those comments of tying her rhetoric to the synagogue shooting?” McCain denied that’s what she was doing, later accusing a confused Meyers of working as Omar’s publicist.

Again, uncomfortable.

McCain brought up the interview this week on her Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat podcast during a chat with Senator Ted Cruz, who definitely drinks beer like a normal human being. “Speaking of late-night stuff, I went on Seth Meyers and it was one of the worst experiences of my life, truly,” she said. McCain then brought up tweets made by her husband, Ben Domenech, calling Meyers an “untalented piece of sh*t” who, well, I’ll let her take it from here.

“My husband tweeted that the only reason he had a show was that he gargled [Late Night executive producer] Lorne Michaels’ balls,” McCain continued. “It was a horrific experience, and he can go to hell forever.”

You can watch the Late Night interview below.

Is Kanye West Running For President In 2024?

It may be spooky season, but what’s really scary is we’re just a couple of months away from 2024, which means election season is right around the corner. The future sure does look anxiety-inducing, as well, with a field made up of conspiracy kooks, criminals, and a pack of old codgers who haven’t kept up with pop culture or technology for the past 30 years.

But there’s one bright spot; one of the more terrifying potential has just given up his presidential ambitions. According to Rolling Stone, Kanye West’s lawyer Bruce Marks recently confirmed, “[Kanye’s] not a candidate for office in 2024.”

If you’re religious, say a little prayer to whichever deity you desire giving thanks for small favors.

Apparently, West’s campaign committee filed an update with the Federal Election Commission that also shows that its treasurer has taken over from right-wing social media influencer Milo Yiannopoulos and the committee’s expenditures have all but dried up, with only $25,000 on hand. It sure looks like Kanye 2020 is closing up shop, with no intentions of rebranding for 2024.

Of course, West’s 2020 campaign was infamously slipshod, with required docs being filed days or even weeks late and shady sourcing for much of its funding. Kanye didn’t even appear to be all that engaged, aside from giving an impassioned — and concerning — campaign speech at a darn near impromptu rally.

Rolling Stone has a more in-depth profile of Kanye’s supposed plans for a 2024 presidential bid from the past three years, but honestly, it’s probably best if we all move on from this fiasco as quickly as possible and try to remember that celebrities generally make terrible heads of state when the time comes to choose our next one.

Taylor Swift’s Album ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’: Everything To Know Including The Release Date, Tracklist & More

This weekend marks the one-year anniversary of Midnights, Taylor Swift’s 10th studio album that became her 11th-career No. 1 album, including her re-recorded albums. The next re-recorded album on deck is 1989 (Taylor’s Version), bound to become her 13th-career No. 1 album. (And by virtue of being associated with the number 13, it might also become Swift’s favorite album by default.)

Since Midnights arrived last October, Swift released her Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) re-recorded album on July 7, debuting the video for “I Can See You (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault]” during her first of two The Eras Tour concerts at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Fast forward to The Eras Tour‘s first US leg’s finale at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on August 9, and Swift confirmed that 1989 (Taylor’s Version) was on the way.

Below is everything you need to know.

Release Date

1989 (Taylor’s Version) is out 10/27 via Republic Records. Find more information here.

Singles

Swift hasn’t formally released any 1989 (Taylor’s Version) singles to radio, but there have been snippets and singles laying the groundwork for the album. In early 2022, “This Love (Taylor’s Version)” was debuted in the trailer for the Amazon Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty. That came roughly a year after Swift lent “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” to Spirit Untamed (and TikTok).

It should also be noted that “Welcome To New York” soundtracked an ad for NBC’s Sunday Night Football matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets on October 1. (It was the second game Swift attended to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.)

Artwork

On top of the official 1989 (Taylor’s Version) cover art, Swift has unveiled several alternative covers and promotional photos. Check some of them out below, and see all of the options here.

Tour

While Swift’s Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film is smashing box-office records, Swift will resume its titular The Eras Tour on November 9 at Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Swift (and her opener, Sabrina Carpenter) will play nine shows in Argentina and Brazil in November, and then The Eras Tour will resume (again) in Tokyo, Japan on February 7, 2024. The international leg is scheduled through August 2024 before Swift stages a second North American leg next October and November. See all dates here.

The Rundown: Welcome To The ‘Suits’ Extended Universe, Apparently

The Rundown is a weekly column that highlights some of the biggest, weirdest, and most notable events of the week in entertainment. The number of items could vary, as could the subject matter. It will not always make a ton of sense. Some items might not even be about entertainment, to be honest, or from this week. The important thing is that it’s Friday, and we are here to have some fun.

ITEM NUMBER ONE – “Suits Universe” would also be a good name for a Men’s Wearhouse competitor but that’s not the point

The Suits thing is still strange to me. Like, there was this show I watched on USA a decade ago, and it was fine, and then many years passed, and then it slid over to Netflix, and now it’s the biggest show in the world. Like, it’s set numerous records for a streaming series. And one of its characters married an actual prince, like one of Princess Diana’s kids. It’s been a wild ride for all of us, really. Especially the cast of Suits, though, I bet. That’s gotta be a weird experience for them.

But yes, to the shock of pretty much no one who knows how these things work, there is now more Suits coming. The creator, Aaron Korsh, a former investment banker who became a television writer and has episodes of Just Shoot Me and Everybody Loves Raymond on his resume, and who has apparently not been doing much since Suits ended in 2019, signed a deal to expand the Suits universe pretty substantially. It’s probably been a weird summer for him, too.

But this is where it all gets fun. The new stuff isn’t going to take any of the old characters and update viewers on the various comings and goings. No, this is going to be bigger and odder than any of that. We really are creating a Suits Extended Universe.

This is not a revival or reboot and, unlike the 2019 Pearson, the new legal procedural is not a spinoff either — it would be a Suits universe series in the vein of the CSI and NCIS franchises featuring new characters in a new location, sources said. I hear Los Angeles is a backdrop considered for the workplace drama.

So, a few things worth noting here, all of them equally important to me…

The first is that this is all just very funny and kind of cool to me, for a lot of the reasons I already outlined in the intro. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the world became obsessed with Suits. Not Burn Notice. Not White Collar. Not Royal Pains. Suits. I am very happy for everyone involved. Good for them for striking while the iron is hot.

The second thing is that, while I don’t know what these new shows will look like, it is going to be fun to picture the other characters just, like, existing somewhere else while all the action is taking place. I hope they just casually reference them in the other show once or twice a season, just to maintain continuity. “Wow, this is just like the big case Harvey Specter is working on in New York.” And then, blammo, right back to work.

And finally, while writing this I remembered Katherine Heigl showed up in Suits for a bit and now I need her to show up in every show in the Suits universe just to deliver this line.

SUITS

Thank you.

Let’s all do this with Zoo next.

My sweet boy James Wolk deserves to thrive, too.

ITEM NUMBER TWO – I’m so mad

chidi2.jpg
NBC

All Michael Schur has ever done is make cool stuff I like. He was a creative voice in the earlier seasons of The Office before things got sketchy and memed into oblivion. He created Parks and Recreation and The Good Place, two all-timer network sitcoms. He was the executive producer of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, another great network sitcom that introduced the world to Silly Andre Braugher, which I don’t think anyone even realized was possible until it existed and delighted us all. And before all or most of that, he was the main pseudonymous voice behind Fire Joe Morgan, still the greatest baseball blog ever created.

That’s why I was so excited when Peacock announced that he was making a comedy based on the movie Field of Dreams. And it’s why I was so bummed when Peacock announced that they were pulling the plug on the series, after the titular field had been constructed, which… I mean, it is a little funny that the movie that had “if you build it, they will come” as its most famous quote spawned a television show where they built it and then… nothing happened.

Anyway, good news and bad news. Good news: My goldfish brain had forgotten most of this until earlier this week. Bad news: Schur appeared on Pablo Torre’s very good podcast to discuss it all and now I’m a little mad again. Look at this. Or at least listen to it.

To recap: One of our best and most creative television minds was making a show about one of our most beloved sports movies, and said it was the best thing he had ever written, and it was going to star William Jackson Harper and Kristen Bell from The Good Place, and it was going to feature Andre Braugher in a role inspired by an iconic performance by James Earl Jones, and Peacock killed it before it could get made but after they got my hopes up.

I’m so mad

They built the field.

Come on.

Torre interviewed the Iowans whose farm was used for the set and even they were excited about it all. Then NBC intervened, burning down the dreams if not the field itself.

“That’s the saddest part of this,” Schur said. “We went as far as you can possibly go without actually doing the thing that we set out to do.”

While emphasizing TV shows get axed all the time, Schur explained how the physical presence of the field and the symbolism of abandoning makes this story unique.

“We built it and they didn’t get the chance to show up,” Schur joked.

In lieu of further comment and in an attempt to keep my heart rate in the double digits, I will give the final word here to Andre Braugher’s character from Brooklyn Nine-Nine instead of typing a lot of swear words.

BK99
FOX

Dammit.

That didn’t work.

I’m just more angry now.

Nevertheless.

ITEM NUMBER THREE – Hey, speaking of baseball…

In other news involving both baseball and television… how about those Phillies? Regular readers know that I’m a passionate — read as “disturbed” — Philadelphia sports fan. The Phillies are currently making a fun little run through the playoffs. I convinced our very patient sports team to let me write about it a few weeks ago and, hey, look at this, I’ve found an excuse to jam it into my column about the world of entertainment, too. A great stretch for me.

Short version: The gang from Always Sunny, or at least 60 percent of it (Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, and Charlie Day) showed up at one of the playoff games this week. Look at these goofballs.

They even got to go on the field and dance with the Phillie Phanatic during the game, which kind of rules. I need Charlie Day’s entire outfit.

Three important takeaways here:

  • This is not the first time the show and the Phillies have crossed paths, as the video at the top of this section and a quick Google search of “always sunny chase utley” will reflect
  • Go Phillies
  • I’m just going to go ahead and sneak in this video of Eagles players D’Andre Swift and Terrell Edmunds at one of the games this week because I really can’t contain myself once I start talking about my Philly sports teams

It’s really very sweet, borderline cute.

Go Phillies and/or Eagles.

ITEM NUMBER FOUR – Give everyone at Lifetime a raise

muppet christmas carol GONZO RIZZO
DISNEY

Okay, three notes again, also via bullet point:

  • Lifetime announced their slate of 2023 Christmas movies this week
  • The Muppets are not involved but I led with that image anyway because it was the first thing that popped up when I searched “xmas” on my laptop
  • Please read the synopsis of the upcoming Lifetime Original Christmas Movie Silent Night, Fatal Night

Via Variety:

Best-selling mystery writer Mallory Dearborn (Alex Camacho) wants to end her long-running detective franchise, against the wishes of her manager Michael (Matthew Pohlkamp). In a desperate move, he decides to take her prisoner. After convincing the world she’s died, he forces her to write a posthumous novel over the holidays.

This is really just an incredible job by everyone, starting with the title itself and plowing straight through those three beautiful sentences. I’ve never been more excited to watch a Lifetime original movie. The third act of it all almost has to be insane. I can’t wait to see how they fall in love and what happens when the public finds out it was all a ruse. Because that’s almost definitely going to happen.

We are all going to watch this movie. Or maybe just I will and then I will tell you about it. Either way, Merry Christmas to all of us. But especially me.

ITEM NUMBER FIVE – Ahhhhh crap

The Afterparty
AppleTV+

It brings me no pleasure to report non-exclusively that The Afterparty has been canceled by Apple after two very fun seasons. The show was creative and silly and spoofed so many genres of film and employed Sam Richardson, all of which I support from any creative endeavor. It’s a bummer.

I wrote about the show a few times, as I do with most things I enjoy that I don’t think enough people are yammering about. Both seasons are still right there on Apple if you want to check them out. But here’s Deadline on the news.

While Season 1 of The Afterparty was a breakout with its unconventional structure, creating a pop culture moment and a guessing game who the killer was, Season 2 had a quieter run this summer and could not match the influence of the original installment. It also may have been hampered by airing directly opposite Season 3 of Hulu’s hit murder mystery comedy Only Murders In the Building.

According to sources, post-strike slate reevaluation played a part in Apple’s decision not to continue with The Afterparty.

Okay, two things are worth noting here…

ONE: I will gladly admit that the second season was a bit shakier than the first. The gimmicks were always going to be hard to sustain, just that a similar group of people were going to get wrapped up in a murder investigation at a party following a major event and the thing where it was all a very high-concept endeavor and they were going to run out of genres to spoof eventually.

TWO: I’m still sad the show was canceled without getting a little chance to reset and end on its own terms.

The producers are shopping it to other streamers, and crazier things have happened, but we still do have Only Murders in the Building to fill the cozy little murder mystery void. That’s not nothing. But it’s not everything, either. And I can be a little greedy.

READER MAIL

If you have questions about television, movies, food, local news, weather, or whatever you want, shoot them to me on Twitter or at [email protected] (put “RUNDOWN” in the subject line). I am the first writer to ever answer reader mail in a column. Do not look up this last part.

From Robert:

Please watch the following YouTube clip. It’s from a series called Letters Live, and has Matt Berry and Peter Capaldi reading letters between a Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and a leader of Zaporozian Cossacks. This is the best kind of insanity I need in my world, and proof of why Peter Capaldi and Matt Berry need to be in a buddy cop style movie.

Here is the video Robert sent along with the email…

… and here is the description provided on the YouTube page, which takes the very helpful words Robert provided and adds additional context.

Matt Berry and Peter Capaldi joined us to give an incredible, hilarious reading. In 1675, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire instructed his army to attack a fortress belonging to the Zaporozhian Cossacks. They were quickly and heavily defeated. Rather than surrender, the Sultan then wrote to the Cossacks and demanded that they submit to him. This fiery exchange was the result.

This is just all extremely cool. Robert is correct. The deck is stacked a little bit because Matthew Berry has the kind of voice that could make “reading the DMV license renewal instructions” seem cool (NOTE TO MY LOCAL DMV: CONSIDER THIS), but still. Take a few minutes to watch this sucker. A wonderful little premise executed perfectly is always appreciated. It’s extra nice when it involves Matthew Berry and his voice.

This was a good email.

AND NOW, THE NEWS

To Connecticut!

A Connecticut man who found a bag containing nearly $5,000 in cash outside a bank and claimed “finders-keepers” had a criminal charge against him dropped Wednesday after he gave the money back.

God, I love that this guy really tried to cite Finders v. Keepers as a legal precedent like he’s Lionel Hutz. I would have let him keep the money just for that.

I would not be a good judge.

Withington found the bank bag containing $4,761 on May 30 outside a bank in his hometown of Trumbull, near Bridgeport. It turned out the money belonged to the Trumbull tax collector’s office, and a town employee had dropped the bag while walking to the bank to deposit the money, police said.

Hmm.

This should be allowed.

If the government loses money and you find it, without stealing or embezzling any of it, you should get to keep it.

That should be the deal.

Police said the bag had the bank’s name on the outside, and there were deposit slips inside indicating the money belonged to the town, authorities said. A police officer had escorted the town employee to the bank, but neither one noticed the bag being dropped, police said.

THEY LITERALLY FUMBLED THE BAG

NOT GUILTY

SOMEONE GET ME A GAVEL TO BANG

WAIT

WHY DON’T I ALREADY HAVE A GAVEL?

I SHOULD HAVE A GAVEL

LET’S ALL READ SOME QUOTES FROM THIS GUY WHILE I LOOK UP GAVEL PRICES

“I found it. There was no one there. I didn’t steal it. I didn’t take it from anybody,” Withington said in a phone interview.

“I come out of the bank. I’m just getting over COVID. I had my mask on. When I walked outside, there was no one out there, but there was a police officer parked to the left. He had sunglasses, looking at his cellphone. I just looked down, I was like, ‘there’s something there.’ So I just picked it up under my arm like no biggie and just walked back to my car.”

Let the man have his money. He said it himself, it was no biggie.

Justice must be served.

Andre Iguodala Announced His Retirement From The NBA

Andre Iguodala has called it a career. Iguodala, a former first-round pick of the Philadelphia 76ers who spent 19 seasons in the league, told Marc Spears of Andscape that the time is right for him to end his decorated career.

“Time started to get limited for me and I didn’t want to put anything in the back seat,” Iguodala said. “I didn’t want to have to try to delegate time anymore. Especially with on the court, off the court with family. A lot. You want to play at a high level. But then family is a lot. My son is 16 and then two girls. So, [I’m] looking forward to seeing them grow up in those important years.”

Iguodala went ninth overall in the 2004 NBA Draft. After spending the first eight years of his career in Philadelphia and earning his lone All-Star berth in 2012, Iguodala was traded to the Denver Nuggets, where he spent one year before deciding to join the Golden State Warriors as a free agent.

While his most productive seasons came in Philadelphia, Iguodala had the most success as a crucial piece of the Warriors’ dynasty in the mid-to-late 2010s. A member of the team’s vaunted “Death Lineup” alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and either Kevin Durant or Harrison Barnes, Iguodala was part of the team that won championships in 2015, 2017, and 2018. His role on the 2015 team earned him an NBA Finals MVP, as he was both productive on offense and tasked with defending LeBron James on defense.

Golden State traded him to Memphis in 2019, he stayed away from the team before they sent him to Miami later that year, and during the 2021 offseason, Iguodala left the Heat to rejoin the Warriors as a free agent. Despite a smaller role than he had previously, Iguodala won a fourth championship with Golden State in 2022.

Miss Minutes Got Dark As Hell In The Latest Episode Of ‘Loki’ And Viewers Don’t Know How To React

After sitting on the sidelines for the first two episodes, Miss Minutes finally made her Loki Season 2 debut, and the adorable little clock is out of her freaking cartoon mind.

The Season 1 finale pulled back the curtain on Miss Minutes (Tara Strong) by revealing that she works for He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) and helped him build the Time Variance Authority so he can curate the Sacred Timeline. However, Season 2 Episode 3 dives into deeper into that relationship, and hoo boy. If people thought the Miss Minutes’ jump scare from last season was bad, they ain’t seen nothing yet.

After Miss Minutes summoned Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) to the late 1800s Wisconsin where she drops a TVA guidebook into the window of a young boy’s window, the two jumped ahead 25 years where the boy has grown up to become a con-man/scientist named Victor Timely (Majors). More notably, he’s a variant of He Who Remains, or possibly the actual He Who Remains. It gets real timey-wimey.

Anyway, it becomes clear throughout the episode that Miss Minutes is the jealous type, and she slowly goes off the deep end as Victor seems to be smitten with Renslayer while on a boat to Wisconsin. By playing on his disdain for working with a partner, Miss Minutes is able to convince Victor to toss Renslayer overboard. And that’s when the cartoon clock makes her move.

In one of the most disturbing Marvel scenes ever put on screen, Miss Minutes reveals her undying love for Victor/He Who Remains and literally starts demanding he make her a body, so she can be his “girl.” (She’ll ultimately be clock-blocked by Renslayer, who was not thrilled to be thrown off a boat.) The show really went there, and Loki fans couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

You can see some of the reactions below:

Loki Season 2 streams new episodes Thursday on Disney+.

Lil Wayne Name-Drops Devin Booker In ‘Phresha,’ His And 2 Chainz’s First Single From ‘Welcome 2 ColleGrove’

2 Chainz and Lil Wayne are true to their word. Earlier this week, Wayne shared on his Discord channel that “Presha” would arrive ahead of his and 2 Chainz’s performance on the October 20 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that night. And earlier in October, 2 Chainz reportedly let it slip, “Me and Wayne’s album drops next month. This is a full-circle moment.” (2 Chainz also told The Source that it would “be coming out before the year’s over with.”)

Right on cue, “Presha” is here this morning (October 20), and Welcome 2 ColleGrove will arrive on November 17. The album’s release date was confirmed via press release, which also relayed, “ColleGrove is a portmanteau of Chainz’s hometown, College Park, Georgia, and Wayne’s hometown, Hollygrove, Louisiana.” Their original ColleGrove collaborative album dropped all the way back in March 2016 — peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

The bar is set high for Welcome 2 ColleGrove from jump in “Presha,” as the single starts with someone yelling, “Yoooo! This sh*t is un-believ-able!” The beat drops — an infectious juxtaposition of high-pitched whistling and thumping bass — and 2 Chainz raps, “Yeah, we cookin’ now / You know this sh*t presha ’cause they lookin’ out / Say, ‘Look out for me,’ but they wasn’t lookin’ out / Got your sh*t together, suki, suki now.”

About halfway through, Lil Wayne hops on the track and delivers his bars in his signature frenetic flow. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Wayne verse without a clever sports reference: “Smokin’ dope, you can smell the boogers / Break your nose like Devin Booker.”
