Feckin hilarious!
You might have mentioned that the clip also includes the trill of victory.
Henry?
Any chance you’ll allow me to come back to throw some shit? I realize you consider my comments to go cosmic and all but I kinda miss ‘sportin’ here on Waka.
F’instance you give me heck but then, I don’t have no TV show. Here’s a guy Malcolm pointed to who’s sent letters to everybody concerned – and guess what Henry…
He lost me even in the beginning – I just had to “think” about it. ‘Course I could well be off the page:

Thanks, JK. I do rather like that Mike Rowe; he’s a bright and engaging guy.
As for the linked item, one can argue that alcohol not only built America, but civilization itself.
Damn! So beer actually did inspire civilization?
And I thought that was just an excuse I made up to mollify my wife . . .

Mollify?
See here TBH, this is what I miss ’bout visiting (well, without the freedom to ask questions or… hmmm) anyway Henry, me being from Arkansas, a natchurl burned ig’nurnt state of beint, I’m alus curous.
Here’n Arkansas (where incident Jeff left) we gen’ly make as few syllables as we can to perturb a questionable. Bert Henry dintjer see that what Jeff said he’uz having to do?
“Kiss, inargue, warshdishus, skindecoon” or some otersech, cain’t honestly say I’d ever heerd of mollifying a woman.
Just so I knows, is mollify Yiddish?
Well, JK, since “mollify” is a synonym for “appease”, and “appease” is what liberals do, and since most Jews are liberals, then “mollify” might as well be Yiddish.
As for your other questions, I won’t hazard a guess as to what you are asking of me. Be that as it may, I sincerely enjoy being puzzled by your inimitable commentary …
