When you’re all done with your little pink panty meltdown, let me know… 'cause I’d like to get down to business.
So unpopular opinion but dude was an asshole. Not once have I read about him and Save the Manatee. This guy personally wrestled it away from The Florida Audubon Society in the early 90’s so he could run it. He hired fake protestors for the news. Just an asshole… coming from an actual Floridian.
Spent time in Florida after Katrina and he apparently payed out employees relief checks pretty fast before FEMA arrived. Then he also took more than he was owed and didn’t hire people back… So definitely a mixed bag of dicks. Lol. There’s a very short list of Floridian businessmen that I’d put on my “good dudes” list.

Ok but that song is worse
I believe you need to watch Club Dread to fully appreciate this meme and the song. Once you do you will understand why this song is vastly superior.
Or you could let us all in on the joke so we can laugh with you rather than wondering what podcast you’re talking about.
It’s from a movie.
I’ll draw out the path for you, because you and the previous poster seem genuinely confused.
Bill Paxton (shown above) is playing a character, Coconut Pete. He plays a character in a movie called Club Dread. A broken lizard production. In said movie, Coconut Pete’s music was ripped off by Jimmy Buffett. Specifically the song Pina-colada-Berg was turned into Margarita-ville. Pina Colada-berg is a bad song purposefully, because of parody law. The meme is that Coconut Pete would say this exact thing given the current news that Jimmy Buffet has passed away.
I hope now we can laugh together, but I doubt it because explaining a joke really cuts out all humor. Seriously take the advise given and just watch the movie to understand before posting. It’s not hard.
Your comment helped me get the joke, I was never going to watch the movie. Thank you.
But it’s got a bunch of the “Super Troopers” guys in it. It’s ridiculous but fun, if you like B movie gore.And why I pronounce Penelope ,“Pee na lope”.
I was on your side until you said “it’s not hard”
Explaining a joke is significantly easier than getting everyone to watch a movie to understand it
Saying it’s not hard just makes you sound rude
You are six comments deep on thread about a meme, about a movie, about a dead singer, played by a dead actor, that nobody remembers… IDK how you were even with me from the beginning let alone until I went wildly of the rails with “it’s not hard”. I’ll try to reign in my rudeness with people next time to make sure I secure your vote of confidence.
“Watch out everybody it’s the fucking fun police!” (From the movie in case anyone needs the joke explained)
I think a lot of us here will fall under the “likes to obsess about fun little witty facts” type of neurodivergence. It explains why I was arrogant enough to ask for an explanation in the first place I suppose.
Sorry I was cunty. Your explanation made me smile and now I’ve added the movie to my watchlist. A lot of the time we can get upset when we’re not in on it, or when we share something we are passionate about and people aren’t meeting us with the same enthusiasm.
No worries. Cunty is a fun way to be sometimes. Life shouldn’t be shades of niceness all the time. Glad your gonna take a watch. It’s a great B-movie with some solid jokes. Bill Paxton is great in it too. You’ll never say Penelope the same again after seeing it. And the ending is dope.
