The regular recommended daily dose of funny is just not enough. Thankfully we have extra funny with TJ and Reagan's. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. So we're welcome, we're welcome. I know it seems like I just am beating this into the ground, but I can't stop thinking about this grave diggers contest that you mentioned in the regular old show, Reagan's. Yeah. Two guys won a grave digging contest. Now, are they grave diggers by trade? Yes. Or is it just a competition, you know, like you would have a strong man competition down at the armory on Friday nights? You know, that what it is. No, these are grave diggers by trade.

And it was hosted by the Hungarian Gravedickers Association. Oh, I bet I would love the accent. You're digging grave, no? You must dig grave and I bear you. The Hungarian Association of Cemetery Maintainers and Operators. So that's what they call them. We call them grave diggers. And you know, you know how I love that that Eastern European accent? Yeah. The other day when I went and I was on that podcast for our beats.com and in Charlotte, the producer that runs, you know, does all the camera work and everything, has that accent. He's from Ukraine. What? Yeah. And I was tripping out listening to him talk. Ukraine. Ukraine. Yes. He is from Ukraine. And he comes over here and now he's a producer for a radio show. Yeah. For a podcast network. Yeah. But he's from Ukraine. And I told him that was my

favorite accent. And I also went on to say it's also the funniest accent. And I don't think he kind of took offense to that. But I tried to explain, you know, when people are trying to be funny. Like women who are trying to be funny and they have that accent, it makes it more funny as well. I was trying to tell him. I think he'll all and I started doing it. Oh God. And I just it was one of those out of body experiences where I was going, I know this, you know, I should shut up. I should really shut up. But I've got to convince him that I'm not making fun of him. You know, but it's sounded a lot like I was making fun of him. Yeah. I get it. You just keep going on. You're like, maybe I can work that you know, you know why? Because he's white. He's white with a foreign accent. I guess I felt like it was okay to do his accent in front of him. But I wouldn't have done that if he would have been Asian. Right. All right. Wouldn't have done it if he would have been African

unless he was South African and white. Okay. And I would have been doing it. Do you felt a kinship in a sense? No, I just felt like he's not going to find this to be offensive because white people ain't got no feelings. That's what they always want people to believe that we don't have feeling that I was going, hello. I am pretty good. I was funny thing we play on my other shows. Hey, I am playing. Yeah. I am pretty good. The girl. And he's like, huh? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't go to my wife's nail tech and sit there and go, you know, Vietnam, that's the funniest accent actually. And you know, I love when when Vietnamese women are being funny with their accent and then I start trying to do it. No, you, home of shiny green soup, you know, line from good morning, Vietnam. I wouldn't have done that. Yeah. That's good. So I

guess I need to call him and say, hello. I would like to apologize. He's like, why are you still doing him? Yes, I am. I'm sorry. I call you Dracula. Dracula. Really dig the hole even deeper. Hey, double down. You say you from Ukraine? You know Dracula. Yeah. You imagine. Where is Dracula from? That hungry Dracula? It's all the same to me. You know, when you think about it, once you start getting into those European places, they all do run together, but he's Transylvania. Transylvania. Okay. That's right. That's not a made up place. Yeah. Transylvania is real. Hungary is what country is Transylvania in? I believe it's its own country. I believe is California a big city. I mean, but I'm telling you like, yeah, Ukraine. I mean, any of those places you could swap one. What's where's Arnold from? He's from, isn't he from Austria? He's from Austria. Okay. That's near

Hungary. I don't know. I thought it was near Dan Sydney. I thought it was a twin city to Australia. I don't know. There's Austria, which I think isn't that where Jean-Claude Van Damace from as well? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Yeah. It's like Serbia, Romania, Croatia, all those ones. Checker public. I love me a Croatian and a Romanian. See, the, the, the, the Romanians, they're the ones that are the gypsies. They just call them. I don't know whether that's still you're able to call people gypsies or not, but I think it's okay. Now they call them travelers. I'm like, when I was growing up, I think they but yeah, Romanian is right. I think that, that big boxer from Great Britain is a gypsy.

What's his name? Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury. Yeah, Tyson. My wife watches the reality show about Tyson Fury's family and all that. Yeah. I think on there, they say that they are gypsies. Well, that's his nickname. They call them the gypsy king, I think. I think because I mean their daughter got married at 16 or something. They, you know, they and she wasn't pregnant. Yeah. Because, you know, whatever their gypsy culture and they move around a lot. Yeah. It's kind of hard though when you're famous. I would imagine. You know, you can pick up and move to a new community and people like, oh, is that Tyson? There he goes. There's, there's Tyson, Beckford Fury. Be beating the hell out of people again. He's going around puncher people. He just likes to go to a different town so he can beat up new people. It's kind of a good, good gig. This is TJ Riggins Extra Funny.
