Last week in Atoka, Oklahoma, the fire department had to rescue a country music legend who was

trapped on the third floor because some stairs collapsed in a 100-year-old building.

Anyone who had been on those steps would surely have died or at least been horribly

the world. Fancy is the type of song where your mama would sing it even though it was about a

whore on her way to church, and your cool gay uncle would sing it and wink at you at all the

cool parts. Fancy crosses all type of person. Black people love it. Gay people love it. Of course

southerners love it. Christians love it. It is truly a magnificent song. And today we have

truly a magnificent episode because we are drunk. Welcome to Bubba Shot in the podcast. Let's get
