Yes, yes that is the “Eye of the Tiger” playing in the opening. Did we change our theme music? No. But we did have a huge technical malfunction that caused Ape to cuss more than even she would publish on air. It took the most iconic franchise of all time (I said what I said, fight me) to get my mind right…but, it worked. We give you “Take 2.”

P.S. Yes. I am aware I missed the opportunity to do the whole “One Bourbon, one Scotch, one Beer” thing. I wish I could tell you that it was on purpose because that would be legitimate; it’s pretty low hanging fruit if we are all being honest. But alas, it was not on purpose and I would have plucked that pretty little mango right off it’s on the ground branch – I just didn’t think of it until I was in the editing process. You can’t win them all…
