Get up.

What?

You're waking up with Sarah and Vinny. Oh my God. We can be better than that. Alice at 973. We've been saying Denzel Washington's name wrong. He's not mad about it or anything. He's always mad. He's not that mad. You know it's funny. There was a story about him maybe a week or so ago. How do you pronounce Washington any other way? He's not Washington.

It's Denzel. Well, I have the clip for you. Oh, yes. Please do. Please. Yeah. Did you know that there are

currently four players named Denzel in the NFL? I know. And before you're... There's a lot of

Denzel's now. There weren't that many before your first Oscar. There was zero in 1987.

And this is how you know they named themselves after me.

Because wait a minute, because my name's not pronounced Denzel.

My name's pronounced Denzel.

Oh.

I'm Denzel Jr.

My father's Denzel Hayes Washington Senior. I'm Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. My father's Denzel Hayes Washington Senior.

I'm Denzel Hayes, Washington, Jr.

My mother would say, Denzel, and we both show up.

So she said, from now on, you're Denzel.

That's how we got to pronounce Denzel.

Oh, that's smoke.

He said, you're Denzel.

You're Denzel and you're Denzel. So he is Denzel and you're Denzel. So he is Denzel. Because his mama said. Yeah, his mama said. Oh, all right. Ma said, Ma said. She changed the pronunciation. He says that's not how you say it. So the story from a week or so ago about him was he thinks he's cancel proof.

Or he says, which I think he doesn't understand about canceling.

Here's what he says.

His take on cancel culture, you don't need to worry about it because you don't need fans.
