Inaugural, impromptu episode.  Hi, I'm Dram, and this week we accidentally start a podcast.  When I show my friend - JY - a rotund, succulent Detroit rapper by the name of Justin May (aka J$Money), we quickly realize that if mocking mental illness is half as entertaining to anyone else as it is to us, then we might have ourselves a decent show premise.We begin our journey with the man who ignited our passions, JustinMayTheRapper, a mumble-mouthed goofball with a dream.  He leads us to confusingly attractive YouTuber Rachel Bologna, who we think it might be a crime to lust after.  We share a brief liaison with machine gun mouth, James Breezy, and marvel at the ostrich egg-shaped human known as Kyriakos Grizzly.  All these and many more on the first episode of Pop Uncultured.Timestamps:2:42 Fist Bump by J Money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP_lG_pCHio8:10 Freaking Problems by J Money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of-2198Q_Qk14:09 Back at it Again by J Money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2HCfKjAab021:40 Life is Too Short Part 3 by James Breezy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9rzP494Ktw27:30 Nu Double N X by James Breezy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDFItmtVjs036:15 I'M Living the Spot Life by J Money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXJ2dBZ3jN051:03 Don't Threaten My Boyfriend on Youtube by Rachel Bologna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Brx7rTUM0D81:01:05 Kick the Dust Up Karaoke by Rachel Bologna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIg_XJRDfy01:04:45 Honking Night by MallowyGoodness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19_r97lYOAE1:07:10 Erick Glover the Ticket Taker Guy by MorristownGreen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VXn7wO3-Y01:12:55 I KNOW WHAT MEN CAN DO WHEN THEY'RE ANGRY by kyriakos grizzly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtPgSnCkcEU1:15:03 Screams by kyriakos grizzly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJY7KZ8vnug1:17:57 Happy Tuesday by Rachel Bologna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1MH2kQaPE

Broderick's talk is from the 26th annual Morris Interfaith Breakfast on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 17, 2011, at the Hyatt Morristown.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was a preacher, we are reminded by the Rev. Carolyn Ann Knight, who preaches here about the care and feeding of our dreams.

Knight, a guest preacher from Georgia, delivers her remarks at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day service at Calvary Baptist Church in Morristown, NJ, on Jan. 17, 2011. She is introduced by the Rev. Sidney Williams Jr., new pastor of the local Bethel AME Church. Podcast by Kevin Coughlin for MorristownGreen.com.
