I had to come back to this post after two things happened: I made a hittin' remark to my sweetheart about the Tesla truck, and Marques Brownlee did a review I thought was worth watching.
Second, here's the story and the remark: We decided one night to head over to our favorite Mexican restaurant, and as we pulled into the parking lot, we saw it - the ugly Lara Croft pointed pixel chested Tesla truck. (In a mostly crowded lot, it looked like other diners had deliberately avoided parking next to it, so maybe that's an unintended benefit - git you a Tesla truck and the eyesore nature of it will repel others away from you.) We looked at each other and said, simultaneously, "Damn," both wearing mirrored expressions like we'd just smelt a skunk. I wondered aloud, "Is it at least quiet like a typical electric vehicle?" Later, as we were eating dinner, my sweetheart pointed out that the truck was leaving, and that it was, in fact, pretty quiet as it proceeded out of the parking lot. I looked him right in the eye, shook my head and said the first thing that came to mind, "Silent, but ugly."
As a white woman, I both like Panera but also have no idea who "Daddy Yankee" is. Also, a standard cup of coffee has about 100 mg of caffeine but that's only an 8 ounce cup. Most mugs are about 14 oz, so my 2 mugs of coffee in the morning (especially the Major Dickason's blend I get from Peet's, my beans ground to an espresso powder, brewed up with the "strong" setting on my coffee maker) have about 350 mg of caffeine. So in the grand scheme of things, 380 mg of caffeine is child's play. I don't think the 2 folk who died were very healthy if they can't tolerate 2 cups of coffee.
FYI absolutely NOTHING offensive in the video!! There are far to many "pearl clutchers" in this world just trolling the internet looking, nay, HOPING to be offended, so much so that they claim offense for no fuckin' reason. You keep on keepin' on, Corey, knowing you are adored by far more than those who find offense.
OMG the video is hilarious! I'm a white woman who, LITERALLY, just got home from having a bagel at Panera after taking a dance aerobics class where- you guessed it- they played Daddy Yankee and I was wearing yoga pants! The person who thinks the video is offensive had no sense of humor and you need to ignore them completely. Now, I'm going to go light one of my Yankee Candles and drink my Starbucks. Keep being you Corey because you are fucking delightful!
I’m just offended(not really) that you said the Delorean came out because of Back to the Future. Deloreans came out years before the movie. They even went bankrupt several years before the movie.
Time for me to drop this sub. If you want to hang out of a helicopter and shoot pigs FOR FUN, I can no longer support you. Ya'll are some cruel mofos. I knew Trae was a heartless bastard but Corey, I am so disappointed...I thought you were the cool one. And you call yourselves liberals.
Look, to each their own... leave if you want. I will certainly miss you BUT... I think it’s a little irresponsible of you to gatekeep “liberalism”.
The feral hogs we were referring to (on an episode of POA, not this Substack... so kinda weird to bring it up on this post imo) are literally affecting the ecosystem of that region in Texas. It’s not just murdering pigs for no reason lol
If a wolf crept up on your kid and tried to attack it.... would you do something about it, or would you be a “good liberal” and leave the wolf alone??
Sometimes you need to use common sense and political divides have nothing to do with it
Much like you should use common sense and not try and paint me to be some sort of a villain on my own Substack when many people here may not have the context of what you are referring to.
You are literally making it look like I just want to shoot innocent pigs lol. If I was subscribed to YOUR Substack, I’d have reason to drop YOU over that
Anyways, I guess I hope you stick around, but in truth, I don’t give a shit. You’re the type of liberal that makes centrists like my dad vote republican. You act like being a liberal means you have to also be a huge wimp that complains about fucking everything like it’s your job
If you look at the context of what me and Trae were talking about (the thing you are complaining about) not only do we make total sense, but any sane person could see that we were also being pretty sarcastic and just trying to be funny. Remember “being funny”? I bet you don’t!
In closing, I honestly can’t believe you’ve made it this long on this Substack, cause I’ve never been anything other than Corey... and Corey ain’t no joyless-suck-bag!
Bless your heart. What it might be time to drop are those pearls around your neck that you keep clutching. I am hoping you get for Christmas what you desperately need, a sense of humor and an appreciation of sarcasm.
Bless your heart. No pearl clutching here as clearly I would never own pearls (duh!). For the record, the pig conversation did not employ the use of sarcasm, nor was it intended as humor. I enjoy both on a daily basis and found a great deal of it across the Skewniverse. However, the constant animal thing just became unbearable FOR ME (not you, but me). Oh, and by the way, it's FERAL pigs. Hope Santa brings you what you desperately need....a dictionary.
Based on "I didn't want to watch the whole video," it had to be the Panera part.
I think as soon as it sounded as though the deceased was at fault, she started hearing all the GOP talking heads robotically reciting, "tort reform, McDonald's hot coffee, blah blah." I mentally brace for the disinformation to follow as soon as I hear "hot coffee." I feel as though I have the duty to educate because it's a false talking point and I know it to be false.
I saw a couple videos in her reel and she appears to be Leftist -- victim-blaming would be a huge offense.
Ok.... I agree with everything you said.... BUT... I didn’t victim blame lol. The only thing I said on the subject was “apparently Panera Bread has a lemonade that is killing people”
Ok, true, it wasn't in that one -- my brain mashed together two different video segments (it was the first impression before you read anything, not actual victim-blaming). I do still think it's one of the Panera theories. 'Disconnect' would imply that you're not understanding the facts which is what made me think it could be the tort reform thing.
I think as far as the deviation from your typical message -- you're known by the common folk as one of the Liberal Rednecks. Being inclusive and empathetic would be the regular message, ergo she saw a violation of a Leftist value.
I mean we're all guessing because it's not actually offensive -- it could just be that you included a serious thing (Panera) under the "Pray for White Women" title. We need a modern day Colonel Cornbread maybe? Lol. I'm only through ep 1 & 2 so far, trying to catch up.
*I had another comment I deleted because I remembered the wrong title header, so I'm replacing it with accurate info.
If Panera had a hair on their ass (how’s THAT for a redneck expression?) they would lean into this situation and change the name to Panera’s Killer Lemonade.
I'm not the demographic that correlates to that video but I watched it through a couple times and don't see the offense. After ruminating a bit, my theory is that she felt you were making light of the death of a vulnerable adult 🤷♀️
Thanks for sitting with me in the “Unable to focus on hundreds of good comments because there’s one bad one” section. Are you sure you aren’t an Aquarius? 😜
But seriously, sorry that lady peed in your cornflakes. I thought the video was funny and completely unproblematic. Hope she responds and gives you some closure.
Fuck Elon Musk and all those mid-range shitty American restaurants like Panera. Maybe he could make himself useful and develop a cyber truck that runs on Panera’s lemonade.
I thought that video was funny as hell. People need to gow up and laugh a little more. Good grief life is hard enough. Thank you Corey for being the unique and incredibly funny dude. ✌️❤️
I had to come back to this post after two things happened: I made a hittin' remark to my sweetheart about the Tesla truck, and Marques Brownlee did a review I thought was worth watching.
First, here's the link to Marques' video:

Anyone who wears a Margo Price T-shirt is 100% OK in my book!
I thought it was funny. But I don’t have the vaguest idea who Danny Yankees is.
I’m white but 82 years old.
I’m just offended(not really) that you said the Delorean came out because of Back to the Future. Deloreans came out years before the movie. They even went bankrupt several years before the movie.
lol yeah as soon as that came out of my mouth I was like “I think this is wrong” lol

DEATH TO FERRAL PIGS IN TEXAS!
(y'see, that'd be wucha call SARCASM)

P.S. Not sarcasm.
Hello Mr. Corey Ryan Forrester. Good day to you, sir. I want to meet Nash! See you later. V/r ShannyPantsFTW
Best guess on what’s offensive, is that you were mocking the nexus of Daddy Yankee Candle, Panera Bread, and white women.
Wider or Whiter audience? (just messin')
Based on "I didn't want to watch the whole video," it had to be the Panera part.
I think as soon as it sounded as though the deceased was at fault, she started hearing all the GOP talking heads robotically reciting, "tort reform, McDonald's hot coffee, blah blah."

Ok.... I agree with everything you said.... BUT... I didn’t victim blame lol. The only thing I said on the subject was “apparently Panera Bread has a lemonade that is killing people”
If anything I did the opposite 😂
Maybe she owns a Panera Bread franchise!!
Ok, true, it wasn't in that one -- my brain mashed together two different video segments (it was the first impression before you read anything, not actual victim-blaming). I do still think it's one of the Panera theories. 'Disconnect' would imply that you're not understanding the facts which is what made me think it could be the tort reform thing.

*I had another comment I deleted because I remembered the wrong title header, so I'm replacing it with accurate info.
I’ll put the good colonel on the case!!
Or accurate conjecture, as it were 🤣
Ok but which leftist value did I violate? 🤣
At the 6:41 mark I was getting "Soup for my family" flashbacks. 🤣
What if those arrows belonged to Hawkeye, Corey? 🤔
You make an interesting point!
If Panera had a hair on their ass (how’s THAT for a redneck expression?) they would lean into this situation and change the name to Panera’s Killer Lemonade.
I'm not the demographic that correlates to that video but I watched it through a couple times and don't see the offense. After ruminating a bit, my theory is that she felt you were making light of the death of a vulnerable adult 🤷♀️
That’s a good theory! So far the only one that makes sense!
I of course was NOT doing that, but I think you may have nailed it!
Thanks for sitting with me in the “Unable to focus on hundreds of good comments because there’s one bad one” section. Are you sure you aren’t an Aquarius? 😜

Have a great weekend!
Haha! I’m Sagittarius if that means anything 😂
I am married to a Sag...so, yes. 😂
Lucky you! (seriously)
I thought that video was funny as hell. People need to gow up and laugh a little more. Good grief life is hard enough. Thank you Corey for being the unique and incredibly funny dude. ✌️❤️
Thanks Susie! So what’s your theory on what offended her? I’m genuinely clueless lol
