    Of all places in the world to sing, singing on top of a grape is probably the best choice.

    Good to know that Win uses traditional songwriting methods. If he needs some dogs to kill to write the next record just give me a holler. We can exchange my collection for some protein powder

    My most sincere desire is that when humanity is ravaged, by some form or mircale only Clickhole and TheOnion content gets saved in a vault on earth, then, millions or billions of years after, when new life is born or when we get intelligent life to visit earth, they find ClickHole and TheOnion, and they somehow decipher the content, and understand it, but they just have no idea why we were like this.

    I guess a new innovation in Country music would be a song with a Beak, Anus ; and replacing that Hat with a urethra and a bladder, because most birds excrete their waste through the anus including urea that most mammals excrete in a liquid form through the urethra and the bladder. Huh ( insightful look at the sky)... Maybe some birds might adopt it into their anatomy. That will be more Human! Thanks Clickhole for the insightful video.
