wellRED podcast - #10 - Syria, Police Brutality, and Brett Favre

Episode Date: April 12, 2017

Trae and CoFo sit down sans Drew in Trae's Burbank guest house (ahem, fellas) to discuss all of the most important things in this world, i.e. the situation in Syria, Sean Spicer being disabled, United Airlines hating Asians, and of course Nelly and Brett Favre (look it all comes together). This one is a little different, as we're toying with a shorter format, but we'll all three be back together next week and after we do what we do, we sit down for an awesome talk with southern rapper/entrepreneur Scotty ATL. For the full WellRED experience, holler at us on the road. We're still acting dumb live and in person all around the country. Go to www.wellredcomedy.com to find tickets and we'll see yuns out there, given that the world don't end a course. Love y'all. Skeeeew. 

And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because used to you, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like, you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now, skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people, people across the skew universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery,

getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better, and it's called Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions,

monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days.

In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using.

So I was like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know,

put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money. What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid.

Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help.

So cancel your unwanted subscriptions or reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Here you buddy. Oh, are we going?

We are. All right. Hi. Hey. How y'all doing? Welcome back to the Well Red podcast. It's your boy Trey here. I've got some great news for y'all.

Fantastic news for our listeners. Y'all are going to love this. Brace yourselves. No Drew at all. No Drew at all on this episode. Yeah, it's just me and Corey, me and the show here in my guest, my guest house in in Burbank, California. I love how you said that under your breath.

My guest, my guest house. Well, I was trying to say it like pompously. That was my attempt. Well, then you should have just said it how you say fucking literally. anything. I don't know why you tried to act all the sudden. You've been yourself this whole time and then you, well, let me, let me get pompous real quick. What, what should I do? Exist, motherfucker. Well, I'm taking these acting classes, you know, I'm trying to expand my horizons artistically. And so I think that's just,

that was that coming through. I just realized that I immediately filled Drew's void. You did. Yeah, you did. You just said, yeah, you had to get him where he would fit in. That's funny. I feel like people are going to be listening to this. We said, Drew's not here. And then I got on your ass for that. And they go, oh, I've had him wrong the whole time. I've been thinking that was Corey.

Now, in all honesty, we, Drew still, we still love him. He's still our old dog, our old dog buddy that he is, just sleeping and farting and hating things all the time. While curled up in the back seat of a car, like just like a dog. Just like a dog. He slept on a box spring in Arkansas. literally oh he's an old dog context for that

Drew was complaining the night did he sleep on in a full night yeah he slept he was talking about we were in Arkansas Bentonville Arkansas doing the meteor

guitar gallery and the next day we got up and Drew was like man I don't know what's y'all's bed's like and I was like I don't know

mine's pretty good and Tray was like yeah mine's pretty sweet he goes my bed fucking sucks we get into his room and they didn't have the mattress on it

he literally just slept on the box springs and was like This is fucking bullshit. So, like, yeah, so we, we still know where we came from. But anyway, we still love our old dog. He's just, today is Tuesday, April 11th. We put this out every Wednesday morning, bright and early.

And Drew isn't going to be in L.A. with us until like midnight tonight. So we just don't have time to do one with all of us. We could have done it, but we're going to be plum drunk by then. Also, and you'd have to stay up to like five. in the morning. Don't hit. Don't hit.

You're right. So that's all it is. But either way, Drew ain't with us. And so you're welcome. But we're... So we don't have to talk about politics. Yeah. Before y'all tune out, we're still going to try to talk about politics here in a little bit.

Trump, Spice, or all that, all those buzzwords. But this is also a little bit different because we're getting a lot of feedback for people. And honestly, it's a little mixed in terms of the length of the podcast. And as y'all know, if you've been... been listening. We've been toying with things on this podcast since we started because we know that when it first started, the audio was an abortion. We've had some issues with running this podcast because that's the thing. I know people still question our authenticity all the time as far as being like rednecks or whatever else. But like we're, we don't know

things, y'all. We're dumb. We're dumb about stuff. And we just kind of, people, comic friends of and other people and said, like, you guys really do a podcast. We're like, yeah, okay, that'd be cool. And then we just threw one out there. And we had already put a podcast out there, launched it formally, gotten like 100,000 downloads, and then looked at each other and realized, like, we don't have a fucking clue. No, yeah, we got to do this.

We got to do this every week. And so that was done. Preparing for the first one was like, okay, whatever, we'll throw it up there. Right. All right, six days from now, you got to throw up another one. Yeah. Oh, shit. I'm not a producer.

So we know it's been pretty. up and down in terms of both the audio quality and the format and everything else. We appreciate y'all that have stuck with us for sticking with us because I would, I would hope that y'all would agree that we have, we've objectively improved in terms of the audio quality and stuff like that. Without a doubt. Yeah, last week was, last week was like, what, number nine? Yeah.

And it was the first time I was like, okay, this sounds good. Nine episodes in, which again, it's arrogance on our part. We're like, yeah, we'll do a podcast and then just completely didn't think about anything that goes into it and we got ahead of ourselves but so we're still you know we're still toying with the forum a little bit and people we've been getting a lot of comments saying that it's too long you know it's just it two two and a half hours is a bit much and you know that's fine we want to give y'all what you want we're fine with doing it either way so me and cori thought we'd try uh experiment a little further this week and so this one's going to be just me and

Corey, and it's also, it's going to be shorter. It's going to be around about an hour, and so we'll see what y'all think. Let us know what you think, please. And we'll go from there. So, yeah, with that, Corey, I think this is a good jumping off point. You just got to my house. You came here from LAX, so, you know, bless your heart. Yeah.

That fucking sucks every single time. Yeah, and this has been a really big week for the airport. I know, exactly. Thanks for picking up on my... See, we're getting it. I know where I was going. I did, buddy. But yeah, I can't believe.

He's holding up a card right now that says, talk about the fucking airport. I'm kidding. I cannot believe. Well, start with Delta because me, you and Drew, our airline of choice is Delta for no real particular reason. I ain't got no specific brand loyalty. American Airlines. You want to hook it up.

That's fine. I'll tell Delta to go fuck off. Having said that Delta, you know, you want to give me a sky club membership or something, you know. I'll sing your jingle all the way or whatever the hell it is. is, but we just randomly picked Delta and because we fly so much,

get the loyalty numbers, all that, we go with Delta all the time. And I texted you all a few days ago and I said, I cannot fucking believe that we are not on the road right now because the way our luck usually goes, I can't believe we missed the fucking

Delta Geddon that they apparently went through. There was like storms in Atlanta or something, which is their primary hub. Anyway, people got stranded. for days and days and days. I didn't get straining for days, but I was like right at the tail end to that. If you remember, that was when we were leaving Arkansas, and you flew back west, but I was flying east, and I was supposed to get home at 2 p.m. and I got home at 11.35 p.m.

Now, again, in hindsight versus what everybody else? Yeah, in hindsight. But now, that wasn't a good day for me because it, you know, especially, now this is always better. It's always worked out like this. it's always at the end of a run, I get fucked over on a plane, which is good. If you're going to get fucked over,

it's when you don't have a show the next day. But every time, and it's happening in Arkansas twice. I'm trying to get the fuck out of Arkansas, and I can't do it to save my life. But yeah, it turns out a lot of people

were way more fucked over than I was. And so Delta was having a pretty rough go of it, PR-wise, they were catching a lot of shit, and I mean, rightfully so. I mean, people were getting fucked over bad. And then the airline gods

threw them a bone, in the form of a Chinese doctor who was flying United and trying to get to Louisville from Cincinnati or some shit like that. And they being united, they'd overbook the flight, which they do that always, by the way. And we could talk about that if you don't to, because I've always thought that was a little fucked up. No, I would love to talk about that. They overbooked the flight knowingly, and they went to kick this guy off because they had some crew members that needed to get home. home and, you know, obviously what those people had going on in Louisville was way more important than, you know, literal surgery or whatever this doctor was doing. And he's, you know, they kicked

a few people off and they got to him and he said, no, fuck y'all. Yeah. And they said, no, no, no, no, my friend, fuck you. And had security officials come home there and forcibly remove him from the plane to the point of like, I mean, whooping his ass. Yeah, they whooped his ass. Yeah, they whooped his ass. They whipped his ass. Yeah. That is fucking something else, man. Dude, if I was in charge of Delta's Twitter, as soon as that had, Delta's, I know that this was United, but if I was Delta, if I ran their Twitter, the first thing I would have tweeted out was a link to Big Shahn's bounce back.

Last night. Last we caught an L, but today we bounced back. That's the first thing I was. thought of when that shit happened. That's so fucking funny. I was like, dude, Delta is big shone in it right now. So hard. It's funny because I think we apparently think in terms of rap song, clapbacks a lot of

time. All the time. Anytime, every now and then I'll hear from people, buddies of mine from back home or whatever about somebody else from back home, like just shitting all over me in a public forum or somewhere. Just me, you know, turning my back on them being the worst, whatever. And I always send my friend a link to the YouTube video. video for Big Shans, I don't fuck with you.

And I'm like, do me favor, just show Chad this. Tell him that's my response. I didn't tell Amber this and I was debating on whether I was going to or not, but she won't listen to this so it don't matter. But this girl who three years ago, behind my back, now I'll give her credit for that, she had told, she had told a bunch of my friends that she would never date me because I was a loser comedian that was never going to go anywhere. Yeah, I know.

Our book, The Liberal Redneck Manifesto, number one in humor right now on Amazon.com, you can pick that up. So she sent me a message not long ago. It couldn't have been long ago because this song just dropped like a week ago. It was like three or four days ago. And she said, she was like, hey, saw where the book was going good. Oh, my God. Things are working out for you.

I knew that they would. And I just sent her. I just sent her a link to Humble by Kendrick Clark. And then I blocked her. I was like, yeah, I ain't having this shit. Did you see the track list for that album? Kendrick's album's about to drop. They released the cover art in the track list.

No, I've sought Schoolboy Q was tweeting about it about how he was like, yeah, this is going to be on his new shit. Or he said that as soon as Humble Drop, schoolboy was like, you know, this ain't going to be just an independent thing. This is going to be on the album. But no, tell me. Preach. Well, just one of them, one of the songs, it says featuring YouTube.

And I've never, you too. You too. I've never been so conflicted in my life because like I've always got you and I try not to do this with most music that isn't shitty country because as we've talked before like shitty radio country, I feel like I take that like personally. Yeah. Like personally offensive. But like with most music I try not to be that kind of like, you know, hipster dick about it. And Joshua Tree exists. Right.

But you too, man, it's just always been one of those bands for me that like they, annoy me with their, with how much I don't like them. And the thing is, as people. And the thing, no, I'm talking about it as a band. Yeah, I mean, again, though, after Joshua Tree. Right. Well, like, and I also, I don't know. And I mean this, and I grew up in rural Tennessee, but I don't know a single person

who is a U2 fan, right? But I mean, they're out there. They headline in Bonneroo this year. They had, they're objectively one of the biggest rock bands in the history of music, but I'm saying that's never made sense to me because they're so far outside of my realm musically, I've just never got it at all. Right. And so that's how I feel about you too.

Well, I feel the exact opposite of that about Kendrick Lamar, as most people do. Now, obviously, Kendrick is also, you know, it ain't like we have much of a shared experience. Sure. But we got a little bit of one, you know, as I feel with all rap, you know, we've talked about that before too, like, because a lot of it's about the struggle and being Poe. and also getting fucked up and hos and stuff and all that stuff has for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, but Kendr's just the shit, my shit, I love him.

I always identified with big timers just because they're always getting pussy at the club. Yeah, you know, for sure. Not much of a struggle. Yeah, but, well, I mean, but he did only have a quarter tank of gas. That's true. Yeah, but, you know, again, he's got a new E class. I know, but. You got a new E class.

You can find some friends to pitch in for some fucking gas. But, so I just don't know what to expect. of that. Don't get wrong. I'm still pumped about that album and I'm still, I still bet it's going to be fire. And I bet that song is fire. But I just had not been more intrigued and conflicted about something in a long time art wise. I do not know what to expect out of that. I see it was conflicted. What do you mean? Yeah. That's from Kendrick's. I know. I know. Yeah. It took me a minute. I thought, I thought, yeah. But the way you said it, I thought you were just like being sarcastic about me being conflicted. I wanted this to have. That's why I said it like that. What, do you think maybe it's just Kendrick sampling? I hope. Well, I mean, I don't know. But what song?

Well, first of all that, but also, I mean, I did wonder that, but is, I mean, that ain't how it works, right? I mean, rappers have been sampling other songs for forever, and it doesn't normally say featuring dire straits or featuring prints or whatever. That's true. I mean, right? But Kendrick, not the people who've done this before, weren't really smart, but maybe Kendrick was like, look, I'm just sampling.

it, but legally I'm allowed to say featuring you two, and it'll start this discussion that we're having now. Not that he needs any help with heat. Right. You know what I mean? I just remember when I picked up sweatsuit by Nelly, and as a song there said, featuring Tim McGrawl, Tim McGrawl's just on that motherfucker. Yeah.

By the way, what a weird moment in time. It's insane. That was. Yeah. Now, it turns out, I guess maybe it ain't that weird because Nellie ended up doing shit with Florida, Georgia Line or whatever later. Maybe Nellie just like a closet radio country. Now, the difference between that is when Nellie did shit with Florida Georgia Line, he needed it.

Florida Georgia Line, unfortunately, was more relevant than Nellie. Now, at the time, Nellie and Tim McGraw were probably of the same. They were of the same relevancy in their own regards. So that was just one of those like, hey, let me get some of your fans to be my fans. Here's the thing, though, people that like Tim McGraw already like Nellie. But a lot of people that just like Nellie, they weren't going to fuck with, I'm an Indian outlaw. Yeah, that's true.

Throwback. Well, let me ask you, and be honest here, let's give this disclaimer. Sweatsuit by Nelly, that came out when we were like, what, 18, 17, 18, 19. Well, you were. I was probably about 14 or 15. I mean, I'm two years younger than you. Did that song with Tim McGraw hit for you? No.

Okay. But because, like, even then. They didn't hit for me at the time. I'm not going to lie. But I liked a lot of stuff that was like, I look back on it out. I'm like, what the fuck was that about? Well, okay, things hit for me at certain times. I treat that song like

Beer hits for me But at 7 o'clock in the morning It don't You know what I mean? When we, I would go No, okay, you're right It does. But there's a time and place for everything

When I, I would never once Just listen to that song at my house But we'd have like a A dance or something like that At school or something And the girls were into it And I was like, yes, it's a good melody This is pretty good.

But again, I'm not putting that shit on But I mean, I feel that way about ZZ-Z-Top too. I know that's shitty to some people but like when zizi tops on fuck yeah I'll fuck with it I've never once played a zizi top song myself Do you remember that song? Because I can't remember if it was a single or a hit

But I know I mean I fucking loved it And it turns out like they're boys And they have collaborated I guess since them But it was still weird at the time Jay Z had a song I mean years ago now I don't remember what album But it was Jay Z featuring Coldplay

Do you remember that song? No, I don't think I do And dude that song was fucking righteous I thought Well, it's going to be some hip hop heads listening to this and be like, that's like the most garbage shit JZ's done in years, but I fucking loved it. It was, I can't remember the name of it was something about angels, wings, or some shit. I don't know. I mean, I thought it was fire.

I loved it. But I liked Coldplay too. Right. I don't like you too. So I just don't know what to think about this. I, okay. Yeah, but how Jay Z, anything he does, I dig. So like.

Kendrick, too. Yeah, well, right. So I understand your confliction. Right. when I had grown out of Lincoln Park when that, because when Lincoln Park first came out, I was in sixth grade. Oh, son.

They was my shit. Buddy, they spoke to me. Oh, my God, dude. I was just angst-ridden and hated everything, and I went through like multiple breakups and they spoke to me, buddy. This little ugly white boy just upset and yelling.

Oh, God, I loved it. But I grew out of them very quick because I found happiness. Me too. Okay, again, you're right. But, but, so I'd grown out of them, but then when they did the, was it cross, was it crossroads or whatever they did with Jay-Z, that shit was fire.

Right. It was so good. Yeah, so I don't know. We'll see. But, yeah. How do we get on this from United? Oh, I did the Big Sean bounce back. Oh, right.

Oh, God. We've been talking about 10 minutes about rap. That was a hell of a transgression there. Anyway, United, they suck. They don't hit. But they, did you see what their CEO? Talk more in the microphone, you fat fuck. He doubled down on it.

The CEO did. Of United? Yeah, like he doubled down and said, and I think this was like an internal thing, but it got out immediately. And he said, like, look, that passenger was being belligerent and disruptive. And we did what we had to do. And I stand behind every one of my employees and yada, yada, whatever else. Like, no.

no ounce or semblance of any kind of like remorse or even like, oh shit, maybe we fucked up at all in it. And I'm sure now that that has since gotten out and went viral too, I mean, I'm sure now there's some fucking backpedaling going on. But the thing is, dude, I mean, that motherfucker, you know he's got a golden parachute or whatever, even if it costs him his job, it won't matter. No. And I mean, but that's how, like, that's how we just live in the world now. and a lot of these older CEOs are not used to acting in this environment where they have to be held responsible for anything. Well, I'm not saying that they wouldn't. You know, eventually you can't get away with something for so long.

But now we live in an immediate society because of Twitter, because of cell phone videos and shit like that. That shit was online this, I mean, five seconds after it happened. But yeah, back in the day, you think airports gave a fuck. what one person thought because like no that person will be dead from lung cancer in two days it doesn't matter but like now that guy's he's like yeah you know whatever who gives a fuck in the context of this conversation that's a good thing i'm glad those people are held accountable sure i often have lamented that fact when we talk about the fact that there will never be another kenny stabler there will never be another brett far i know no it sucks they can't it's a it's a double-edged

sword that somebody tried that his name was jonathan football he yeah it did not fuck fucking work out. Now, given if the boy could play like Brett Favre, it would have been different. Okay, look, all right. You said like Brett Fav. So let me be obvious. No, he wasn't no fucking Brett Farrif. But the thing is, like, you go back, dude, the Browns were terrible.

Everybody knows of Browns were terrible. You go back and watch when Mansell actually did play. Like, he looked like a rookie. I mean, but he didn't look that bad. Like, there was still something there. Right. He never really got to definitively show, in my opinion, whether or not he could play.

And it's because of this shit. He got ripped apart immediately. And arguably, that's kind of what happened with Brett at the Falcons, but they gave him another chance because there wasn't a media scrutiny. Right, and he could go up to Green Bay and sort of lay low and be a backup for a while. Just railing pills and hoars probably the whole time. Yeah, and you know what you're right. And nobody knew about it. And if Twitter was out, and then while he was getting better as a player, and when he gets back out there, he balls out, well, Mansell, that he didn't do that because he couldn't and he never would have been able to.

True. I think people are not going to sympathize with us on this take at all. No, they're not. It's like, sports is entertainment. You know what I mean? Right. I'm like, I'm a Raiders fan. Kenny Stabler, he's one of my all-time favorite guys and all the stories about him,

about him, like studying the playbook by the light of the jukebox. And they'd say that like, you know, legend has it that sometimes he would even have sobered up by halftime. Right. You know, like shit like that. Like, I love that. Well, me too. See, that's, to me, that's fine because in a case like that, there's no allegations of egregious behavior. Like, that's just him.

He's a drunk. He fucks around. You know, like, the Ray Rice shit, that ain't, that ain't cool. No, no, no, no. I'm going backwards to go like, look, hear us out. We're not saying we want our football players to be all the way. Pieces of shit. Yeah.

But if they're just self-destra-like, if all they're doing is fucking themselves over and they can still somehow go and sling it on Sunday, I'd much rather see that shit. You know what? You're right. Honestly, because I just thought of a prime counterpoint to our argument, and his name is Gronk. Yeah. And Gronk smash.

Gronk does smash and he gets hammered, but he goes out there and he catches footballs. And he's great. He does. He gets hammering, he parties, but he does it in like a good-natured way. I mean, that's the thing. Like, Manzell, I mean, he was a douche about it. Like, he was. He was.

He was duchy about it. He was. Brett Farr, Van Kenny Staple. because they were rednecks. They had the like all shucks thing going on. You know what I mean? They were also, Manzell was like a rich boy fucking frat boy douchebag type about it.

Brett Farve and Stave, well, Brett Farv at least was like his pill struggle with private. Right. He didn't, you know, he wasn't going out and going to the clubs and getting fucked. Because a lot of his was an internal struggle. He didn't want people to know that about him. Manzell couldn't wait for you to find out how fucked up he was and how much money he spent. That's true. but I mean that's kind of part of the argument we're having though is like it definitely that's the

narrative about Brett Farve but what if that ain't really the case because we wouldn't know because there was no Twitter and all that shit back then we don't know no you don't that's how it was no back you know what I mean yeah I mean back in the day I remember when I was a kid like you would hear rumors about Chipper Jones and Hooters girls and stuff like that but it lit by the time it got to by the time it got to the people it had done been taken care of you know by some PR bullshit But like now if Chipper, like, if Twitter had been out in the 90s, you never know how many tweets there would have been like, I had to borrow with Chipper Jones, he's railing a whore, his wife in the bathroom. You don't know. Right. How many of these dudes are pieces of shit.

And like, going back to Gronk for a minute. By the way, I do not mean to imply that Chipper Jones is a piece of shit. You would. I would never. Chipper Jones is my idol to the point that I modeled my signature after Chipper Jones. So I'm not implying that. I'm just saying who fucking knows. But going back to Gronk, this was a story a couple seasons ago, but it was a story in a way, like when it came up, it was a story and the response to it was like, oh, Grunk.

Yeah, Manny being Manny. He had a, he had a football camp exclusively for like 22 and under women to come and learn about, learn about football. You know what I mean? Like there was, and everybody, you know, everybody knew what was going on there and everybody just like laughed it off. and it's like if you're if you're like this fun loving goofball about it it's okay as long as you're not a douchebag or shooting up a strip club like my man Pac-Man did god damn it well first off gronk was being inclusive well dude you know what i mean i'm on gronk side gronk sitting there well women can play football i'm going to have a camp just for 22 year old blonde specifically

women in spandex and we'll talk about football all i'm doing now is i'm just i'm arguing with past me. I'm arguing against the point I was making earlier and saying there is still a way to be that Kenny Stabler type guy because Grant does it. And I know. Yeah. Well. It's,

well. Anyway, uh, we, again, we, we was talking about airplanes. Yeah.

We went off on rap and football. It's probably going to happen throughout the course of this episode since it's just being you and there ain't no Drew here. Uh, but yeah, they, so apparently, If anybody doesn't know, airlines, they overbook on purpose because people just don't show up or whatever happens.

And a lot of times it ends up working out fine. It's not exclusive to them. Right. And then if they, but if it don't work out what they do at first, their first line of defense is they say, we are taking volunteers to take another flight. We'll give you a $400 travel voucher. And usually people are like, that usually works. Youngs people are like, yeah, I'll sit here and get drunk at the airport for five more hours and I'll get $400 for it.

That's fine. There's plenty of people don't want to go home. And I get that logic. But right, but exactly. But we're never in that situation because I'm either on the way to a place where I have a fucking show that night or I'm trying to get my ass home when I've been gone for it. And usually the next day I have a fucking interview or an audition or whatever. So like I've got to get back. I've never flown casually in my goddamn life.

Never. It's always an emergency. I have to get fucking here. And so, and that's what was. up with this doctor apparently he was in a situation like that and he was like no and they couldn't find enough other people to take the voucher and so they just fucking whooped his ass and hauled him off of there and uh twitter has not appreciated it i just nor should they i mean fuck them for that it's just amazing to me that they assumed that he didn't know karate

and there it is okay i apologize no no no you're right i mean a man is you're taking a risk he was old though he was older and but usually them's the ones that are whip your ass the most uh yeah yeah yeah they know more fucking karate they're the sense they're the sense they know more fucking karate yeah they know more fucking karate it's like the whole movie builds up to the old master getting to fight somebody for a minute and then it's super bad ass because he just goes in and you know he's gonna go in so i found this hasn't happened in this scenario you weren't privy to this i actually told katy i don't even know if you heard uh so i was on the i was on a plane today and it was uh delta and it's really funny because they were talking.

Like, the staff, the staff on the air. The staff on the, yeah, I'm still, and you can tweet about this in the comments, it's flight attendants now, right? I'm pretty sure, yeah. Flight attendants. Well, I almost said stewardess, and I think that's wrong now. That is wrong. Which is a weird.

I believe that's been wrong for like 20 years. I mean, I'm with you. Whatever. God damn it. You know, pick your battles, fuckers. But, so, so anyways, they were like talking shit. And I was at the front of the plant. because, you know, we have a book on Amazon.

The Liberal Redneck Manifesto, Dragon Dixie out of the dark. So anyways, I was up there. And they were just up there. I'm drinking and they're just talking shit about United. And I was joining in the conversation because I like a good shit talk like anybody. And anyways, they were just like, yeah, you know, they were talking shit about them. But at the same time, they were having their back because they do the same job. Yeah, it's like if we hear, you know, whenever there's a comic that gets in.

Who gets caught saying a lady should get raped to do. death with a chainsaw. We're like, well, hold on now. Hold on. He's working something out. Exactly. Yeah, he's working something out. He's working.

Let the guy get through it. I'm sure there's a punchline here. I'm sure he's just taking on a point. They can't all be chart hoppers. God damn. Give him a minute. So they were doing that in a way. And, you know, and honestly, I'm hearing them out because I've seen the video.

But I also, they, you know, when did they start the video? Like, I just see the video from they will put a dude's ass and drag him off. They could have before they start. started filming, this guy could have pulled out some nunchucks. I have no idea. I don't fucking know. So I'm listening to these. I'm listening to them. I'm listening to them talk. And I'm like, okay, go

on. And they go, this one flight attendant, she goes, well, you know, did you hear what came out today? And I was like, no, they go, well, he's actually, he has a criminal past. And I was like, okay. And so I had the Wi-Fi in the air, because again, thank you for buying our book.

And so I immediately got on my phone. I looked at it. Apparently what this guy did, he's a doctor, and he got in trouble a couple years back because, and this is alleged, this is just in a publication, he was trading oxycotton and other drugs for sex. So immediately I'm back on this guy's side. I'm immediately like, but the thing is, is that that's not why they whooped his ass. They didn't know that shit. My mama's listening right now. She'd be like, can you get his number, baby? Where's he a doctor at?

Well, it's the same thing. Mom, if you are listening, I'm sorry, that wasn't funny. It was funny, but I apologize. My mom ain't got internet. That's fine. This ain't funny, and the guy's not dead, so it's not exactly the best comparison. But it's similar to when, like, Philando Castile gets shot. And then a week later, they go, well, you know, three years ago, he got in trouble for domestic assault.

And I'm like, the cops didn't know that shit when they fucking shot him. That doesn't mean, look, if you're a civilian, a cop shouldn't be able to just, because, dude, I've been to jail. Because, dude, I've been to jail, by the way. A cop shouldn't just be able to walk up to me, beat the fuck out of me and go, well, you know, he got drunk at a Jimmy Buffett concert one time when he was 19. Now, my mom would be like, yeah, long time coming. You know, she wouldn't care. But you're not, they didn't, well, they were looking for violence.

They didn't know any of that. They didn't know any of that when they whipped his ass and drag him off the plane. They didn't know any of that. It's completely irrelevant. So regardless of whether he deserves it or not from past shit, which no, we don't. He went through the, he went through the criminal justice. as a non-white man and came out the other side. He's fucking fine.

Right. Yeah, man. No, that, yeah, that shit's bullshit. Why don't you, since you kind of brought it up, why don't you, well, unless you don't want to, and if you don't want to tell you, you're going to edit this part. Because I don't know how well you know the guy, if y'all are like boys or whatever, but why don't you tell it? I don't care.

Tell the story you're telling me about your buddy from Chickamauga. He had a bit of an altercation. He did have the police. And that has led to a changing of the guard in the political landscape of Chikamaga. vis-a-vis police brutality. Yeah, this goes, I think we've mentioned on the podcast, this is becoming lore about how Chickamauga is just insane. It's a weird, fuck.

Even by, guys, if you're listening, y'all that are listening are not from the rural South, you would think my hometown Salina or Drew's hometown, Sunbright, you would think they were like other planets, right, that they're fucking wild and crazy in a lot of ways. And, I mean, they are. But me and Drew, who are from those places, we think Chickamauga where Corey's from.

We think it's full. fucking nuts. I mean, it's a, it is just something else, man. So go ahead. Yeah, so anyways, and I'm not going to mention his name, just out of respect for, I know his family. And, and, dude, and honestly, this guy sincerely, uh, he was always a buddy to me. Now, he was always running with crowds that I didn't necessarily run with, but. Yeah, I know a lot of guys. I'm related to a lot of guys. Yeah, well, I mean, you know, but we played ball together and there was a couple times he really didn't have to but help me out of a jam and so i've always i've always liked it now turns out he's gotten in a little trouble and i hadn't really kept up with him for 10

years but anyways he was wanted for uh gun possession but and because he was a felon like not again nobody's taking your fucking guns but so he he got caught with some guns or whatever and he was supposed to go to court and then go to jail and he didn't want to do that so he ran it not that don't hip. And so he was on the run from the law for about a week. Well, they caught up to him and apparently he had kept those guns because he then opened fire on the police and they shot back at him, which, you know, I mean, honestly, they or he shot at them first. Yeah, that's frowned upon. And by the way, he's a white guy. So he had to shoot at him before they would open fire. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. By the way, they hit him four times. Yeah, with the bullet.

With the bullet. Yeah, yeah. They shot him four times and he at present is in stable condition. They didn't redneck motherfuckers like that are hard to kill, man. I know, dude. Dude, you don't know. Yes, I do. Well, yeah, yeah, you're right.

But anyways, now, now again, knowing him personally and knowing that I don't want this guy to be dead, I'm glad he's in stable condition. Just being an observer of the situation, though, he absolutely should probably be dead. because of what he opened fire to police officer. So my point is, I'm glad he's a lot. I don't want anybody to get killed, especially by the cops. But all the sudden, I start seeing, and again, I won't name any names on this. I saw about three or four examples today of people on my timeline that were sharing this article,

and then the comment section was filled with people who I've seen going, you know, they really. Blue Lives Matter. Yeah, these Blue Lives Matter. Yeah, these Blue Lives Matter people going, you know, they really should use less harsh force. And they should do everything they can to take them down

without shooting them. And I'm like, do you really want me to scroll, because I will, do you want me to scroll all the way through your Facebook to when Philando Castile got shot, who didn't have a goddamn gun? Michael Brown, fucking people, these are the same people talking about Trayvon Martin.

It's so fucking, oh, now that you know the dude, All the, well, you know what? Somebody knew Philando Castile and somebody knew Michael Brown and somebody knew Trayvon Martin and somebody knew Eric Garner. And those motherfuckers didn't even have a goddamn gun. So if you should, you know, if you didn't do anything wrong, why are you running? It's these same fucking people. And again, and I understand whether you know them and it's personal.

I know this dude. I get it. I get where your heart is. But it's so fucking hypocritical. It's insanely hypocritical. To say it is one thing. but to type it out and to read your words and go, yep,

I've never said anything in the past week even that would contradict this bullshit. Shut the fuck up, man. This goes back to the whole thing that I've talked about for. One of my liberal redneck videos is all about it, and we've talked about it a lot. That's why the whole police brutality thing has always infuriated me

as far as the way rednecks just in general have responded to it because I've been, I've lived around these people my whole life. I've grown up around them. I am one of them. I've, we have never, ever gotten along with cops. Never. Like, ever into the, like, I don't know what that guy did.

And we ain't got to get into what he did that made him a felon in the first place. I don't even know. I have no idea. I have no idea. I guarantee you that when he got caught with a gun and he was a felon and he got, you know, charged with it and then he skipped bail and was on the run, I guarantee you, those same people you're talking about, we're rooting for him.

And here's the thing, depending on what he did, I'd be rooting for him too. Without a doubt. Fucking hey, buddy, don't let the man get you down. Fuck them, motherfuck them. Without a doubt. That would be my attitude, too. There's this guy from Salina,

and he recently died. I was going to say, knowing him, it wasn't anything violent. However, he did just shoot him. But there was a guy from Salina who's dead now, like of old age, though. but he was like a folk hero there. His name was Worm. It was like everybody's got a nickname there.

And that's what he went by was Worm. I'm not going to say his last name because I don't know how that shit works legally. But Worm was like a folk hero there because... Worm Johnson? No, I mean, about that. It's just so funny. About that. I won't say Worm's last name.

Pretty close to that. But he got, you know, he like was a moonshiner and all this shit. And he got a record and the cops were after him for that kind of thing like 20 years ago. and he went on the lamb and they never called him. And again, he was like a hero. He was like, yeah, he never did find old worm son. He'd give him the slip by God. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like, he was the good guy. Yeah. As I said in that video, you ever seen Smokey into Bandit? You know who the fucking good guy was? It wasn't fucking smoky. No. You know what I mean?

Not at all. Like in these narratives, again, Duke's a hazard. Whole goddamn show is just about two good old boys running from the fucking law. Yeah. Right? Like, it's a thing. It's a thing in our culture. And so when these same people see black people getting rightfully furious over the fucking violence that they face from the police and they speak out against it, when these same people are like, you know, blue lives matter or, well, now, you know, he had, he had a record or whatever, it just infuriates me.

Because I'm like, man, what the fuck? Really, you're really taking the cop side right now? Like, I've never, and it just, it pisses me off to know in. But as I told you, when you first told me that story about this guy, you know, I just saw on Reddit or somewhere on the internet earlier, apparently this cop, and it got caught on video, this cop, and I think, I think Denver, not the South, somewhere else. Thank God. Like, well, but it doesn't matter because it's a white girl.

He, like, choke slammed this white girl, a sorority girl, like, I mean, hard. Okay. First of all, I know where this is going. When you said sorority, I'm now kind of on his side. Not on his side, but I'm going to hear it out. I'm not on his side, but I'm going to hear it. When you said, when you said girl, I was like, fuck this piece of shit, I hope he dies. Then you said sorority girl, and I was like, all right.

Go on. I would like to read the case. What did she say to him? No, that's the thing. I mean, you know, anyway. But I, and I haven't seen this yet, but I'm just waiting on it, because this just happened, or at least I just saw it. I guarantee you. From that story, and the story you told probably won't make national news because that old boy,

what, he's a fucking redneck and nobody gives a fuck about us either. But like, and again, he did shoot it. I don't know, dude. If he lives, if he lives, it will absolutely make the national news. He got shot four fucking times. Well, all right, well, his rap career is about to kick off him. But anyway, that, the sorority girl story, and if, especially if anything like that, like, this is when you'll start seeing white people start to get mad.

You know what I mean? They'll be all blue lies. matter shit the whole time. Yeah. But one sorority girl gets choked and they're going to be like, well, hold on now. This is getting out of hand. And the thing is, they're right. Absolutely.

It is. It is. But it's bullshit that it takes that. It's like, I mean, really, you see, dude, some of that shit, like, Flando Castile's a great example. Like, man, it's just, it makes me sick to my stomach. Yeah. That video in particular, like, I don't, I don't understand how people could watch that and be like, well, but what did he do?

Okay. Right. Or like, what, and then, God, it's just fucking. me, if you show me, I have seen, and every now and then there will come out one where I go, okay, I, I, I kind of get it. Like, and I can't give you a specific example of names because they don't make us, they're not as popular. Right. Because these people seemingly weren't as innocent, where it's like, dude looked like he was reaching for something.

And I got to give it to, I got to give it to my boys and blue on that. If you, if I'm in a heated, if there's a heated situation, and you literally look like you're pulling something. Because sometimes they have had one, it's like, look, I got him for. got me. I get that shit. You should never get killed because you were just being, you know, who knows? Now, they don't ever do that. Don't even wrong.

But when you have a situation like Philando Castile, no gun, sitting there in his car. How, what other explanation is there? What the fuck other explanation is there? And I've told you this story before. Well, no, yeah, I've told you this story. I put it on, uh... Well, Drew had a big long post about it when that happened. You said

what other explanation is there? And Drew had a big long thing about it, it's because white men are afraid of black guys. Sure. And, you know, and these cops that we're talking about are white, like, there's just an inherent fear. They see a black guy and they're scared immediately. And so they're already in the defensive position. And this motherfucker is like a, you know, got his finger on a literal trigger. You know what I mean? He's got a gun on his hip and he's in this like elevated emotional state already. It's just a recipe for fucking disaster. Well, I've said this,

there was a hashtag that went out. It was like, I think it's, is when Philando Castile that incident happened where, sorry, I burped, you were supposed to tweet an incident where you had a run in with the cops and you were white, so it worked out.

And, you know, a lot of people was very innocent. I choked a cop one time in a pool and tried to, I'll say it, because I went, what's the statute of limitations on attempted murder? I wanted to kill him. My butt, my, this, we were,

hanging out in a pool drinking and this cop showed up and uh now he was off duty but that's also never fucking uh he shows up uh we're all we're all fucking i'm gonna name any names of it but we were all underage and uh he comes to hang out and swing his big dick and he gets he he was one of them dudes that was always like i guarantee you i can put you in a move you've never get out of like first off you're 50 i'm 19 why are you doing this secondly i never never had you've told me this story before. I always in my mind he was somebody that was your age that had become a cop. This was a middle age grown man

and that makes it so much fucking. Oh yeah. This whole time I thought this was like a... Because I've got buddies I grew up with that, you know, became cops or whatever and have that same kind of attitude. In my mind, it was just something in his 20s. No, 50. He was 50. And so he's like, I'll put you in a...

He'd done this to me before and I'd simply gotten out of a move. Well, we're in a fucking in the pool and I'm like, yeah, sure. bring it on and so he puts me in a headlock or whatever i get out of it and then like kind of push him and i think he was embarrassed because he came and he karate chop me in the throat and i've moved back enough to where it didn't connect too good and as soon as he did that i just filled with rage i was like of course the fuck i was like we first off as odd of a game as it was

we were playing a game you said i'm gonna put you in a move you can't get out of i got out of it i get you're embarrassed but then you're gonna fucking hit me so i went and grabbed him by the fucking neck put him in a headlock i'm I put him under the water. Dude, I was, I was mad. He just hit me in the throat. This grown cop, motherfucker. And my buddy, who I won't say his name either, came and tackled me off.

He was like, what the fuck are you doing? I was like, I'm going to fuck kill this motherfucker. You hit me in the goddamn throat. He left. He just left the party. And then he ended up, not because of this, but he ended up resigning. And there was never any, I mean, if that situation, I know he was off duty. But, like, it's because it was me.

Right. That he didn't, bare minimum, try again to whoop my ass. For sure. But he realized like, oh, this is Corey. He's liked in this town. I can't do this. Since you brought it up a minute ago, and I'm glad you did, I do. I always feel the need when I, because I do, I know, like I said, I've got some buddies that became cops and whatever else.

And like, I just, I want to make it clear, like, obviously not all cops are shitty. Obviously, you're not fucking shoot them. Like what happened in Dallas and all that shit. I also have buddies who are cops that I love and are great people. saying that. I'm just saying to sit here and act like it ain't a fucking problem. Like, dude, it would not keep coming up if it wasn't a fucking problem. Yeah. And it, you know, it's just, it's bullshit all the way around. But that doesn't mean that I say, you know, fuck all cops. All cops are terrible. I'm not trying to say that it's a fucking issue. It is an issue. And they never, nothing, and the worst part is that nothing ever happens to it. I will say, like, the shitty ones that do something really, really shitty on the level of killing somebody that nothing ever fucking comes of it. Nothing ever happens. And like, that, that's, that. That's. That. That. That's. That. That's all you got to do to fix it, I think. Start fucking throwing the book at those motherfuckers, and they'll stop shooting people. Because they will.

When they shouldn't. Like, I mean, it's like, if you're a cop that don't do that, you should want to draw a line. You should want to draw a line. It's like me and you with super shitty rednecks that hate black people and gays and whatever else. Like, dude, I hate them motherfuckers. I hate them too. My example. If you're a good cop, you should hate these motherfuckers more than anybody. And I'm sure a lot of the good cops do.

I'm sure they do. I'm sure, but they need to be more vocal about it. Yes, they do. And honestly, they may be. They may get suppressed. I don't know. But because again, I've got plenty of cop buddies that, hell, you know me. I've got a bunch of cop buddies back home and I love them to death.

And I don't think any of them are remotely like this at all. But again, I'm also not hearing them say some shit about it. And I know there's that whole lot. Fraternity thing. Okay. And here's my argument to that. I'm a fucking comedian. I've been a comedian for 13 years.

I don't. And I'm not a fucking, I mean, I know cops and I know firemen. My brother-in-law is one. Comedy's a fraternity. We take up for our own. The second, you know what I'm about to say? Well, no, but we literally just said 15 minutes to go. I mean, you know, if a comment goes up and says some shit.

No, no, no, no. I'm not talking about saying some shit. What I'm saying is... Actually, hurting somebody. I'm talking about Cosby. That's what I'm saying, though. Nobody, as soon as the... And I say facts, it's still all alleged technically.

But as soon as we were all pretty well known that Cosby raped them women, we were all just like, look, man, yeah, his old shit's great. You can't deny that. But fuck that dude. He's a piece of shit. He don't represent a... we said that. Nobody was going, I'm just going to, everybody had an opinion.

It's like, hey, man, fuck this guy. Fuck Cosby. Yeah. He's one of the greats as far as spoken word, but we didn't defend his ass for raping. We didn't go, well, you know, it was the 70s. Right. You know, people, that just, it was a different time.

Yeah. Yeah, man, I don't know. You know what's funny to me thinking about this, Drew is going to be so furious when he finds out we went into police. brutality. And he wasn't here. He wasn't here because Drew is a former public defender. He could talk about this shit all day.

So it's probably good that he's not here actually because we're again trying to make this one shorter. Where are we out right now, Corey, on time? I have about 47. 47 right now? Yeah, we talked about rap and football. All right. So I was on the way to meet up with our buddy Wheeler Walker Jr.

On Thursday night, we're just going to have some beers to shoot the shit, whatever. And we did. And on the way there, Katie called me. My wife called me and said, uh have you did you hear the news and i said no and she's like we just we just bomb syri and so i you know immediately i was like oh shit yeah what because i just had a conversation with drew on the phone about other shit right before that like an hour before that and he'd been talking about how you know we're going to go to war man that sucks and drew's always saying that shit you know

and i try to be a little more like i don't know positive about it or whatever i guess and but then that happened and so my mind was all right in that sort of stayed anyway. And I was like, Jesus Christ, this is real. And then I get to the bar where I'm meeting Wheeler. And he's like, I walk in. And he's like, well, let's enjoy our last beer before World War III or whatever. And I was like, God damn, this is some real shit.

And then, you know, but then as, you know, comics do, we just said, I fuck all that. Let's talk about Hitting for a while. Well, sure. I'm not going to war. Then went home and I got looking into it. and I still don't know what to think. I mean, I think it's pretty evident right now at this point like that. We're not going to war from that.

And a lot of people are like, ah, it's really not that big a deal in the scheme of things. They told the Russians we're going to do it. Hey, get your people out. And it wasn't really that big of a thing. And a lot of the Western world is actually praised Trump for it. Like, oh, it's a, you know, show them we're not going to stand for that or whatever. And I mean, that's all, that's all fine.

But I can't. And disclaimer, I'm about to say a lot of shit. that's just coming out of my brain and is probably some of it ridiculous and I'm not claiming to know any of this or nothing. Yeah, I don't know shit. Also, disclaimer.

So, okay. Part of me, part of me thinks that this is going to continue. It's going to be, there's going to be some more things. It's going to elevate some, get a little bit more hot

in terms of global conflict. And then Trump and Putin will strike some, deal where it's like, oh, they're the heroes, crisis averted. Russia will get the sanctions lifted from them. And so that's what they get out of it, right? And Trump will be able to say, see, I'm not in league with the Russians. I can't be.

I've been bombing them, you know, like, of course. It can't be true. Everybody wins. Everything works out. And no, you know, no white people have to die, just a bunch of fucking brown bystanders in the Middle East. and like part of me thinks yeah that's clearly what the fuck is going on here. There's part of me that also thinks like you think Putin gives a fuck for any of his people to die. Like if he just has to say, hey, dude, Trump, bomb this section over here.

You can say you did it. Right. I don't care that they're dead. Right. It'll look like, well, yeah, of course, I bombed Putin. I don't, it's fine. Right. They suck.

And then, yeah, I like, like I hate you and it'll be a whole thing. So that's part of what I kind of. expect that to happen that way. I really do. Me too. My thing is... But that, but, well, and that, like, that, that sucks and that's alarming for a lot of other reasons, but it keeps me from...

It's almost like, it's comforting in the sense of... I don't think we're going to go to World War III over this, because I think it's all some fabricated fucking lizard people bullshit. You know what I mean? So, I don't know. It's just, dude, it's wild. Everything about it is so fucking wild that it's... it's real. Well, it's real, but also, I don't, like, World War I and World War II,

I don't think they called them that before they got into it. You know what I'm saying? I think that was a thing that they go, oh shit, the whole world was in this. Right. Right now it ain't. You know, I know that there's like, this could happen and this could happen and this could happen. And also, another thing for me, this is me personally, the reason that I've been a little, aside from being, and now this is going to sound shitty. We're in real busy. I've been on, for most of this current World War that we're in, I've been on a fucking plane the whole time,

so I haven't really had time to dive into it. But the one thing that I'm like, I'm jaded because I'm like, yeah, we've been at war. Like, we've, you know, like we've been bombing people here and there since 9-11. Like when desert storm happened,

there was a long period of we weren't really doing some shit. There was the Cold War. Right. You know, but we weren't really. active anywhere. And then this happens. You go, oh shit, here's the definitive moment we're going to war. With this, I was like, oh, okay, we bombed some people. We do, that's what we do. We stay bombing people. Well, you mentioned 9-11 in World War II. There's also part of that same conspiracy theory that I was

talking about just now is, so with the Nazis in World War II and Hitler, there was, and I'm, again, I'm going to butcher this, just showing how fucking dumb I am, but this, uh, the Rackstag, or R-E-I-C-H-St-A-G, and it was this German national tragedy that basically... I think that's also a beer. It probably is now. It's a fucking microbrewer that's real hip and you tore your mustache and drink it. But there was a... Anyway, it, like, catalyzed the German people, and they were like, oh, shit, we're in danger.

And that, like, that's what got Hitler over the hump in terms of people falling in line with him. Because in times of war, the leaders tend to do really well. because of patriotism and whatever else. Yeah, Bush 9-11. Right, and that's why that's where the whole Bush did 9-11. The truther movement comes from is from that. They're like, no, this was Bush's fucking rock stag. This was what, and by the way, I don't subscribe to none of that shit.

I really don't. We've talked about this before. I'll subscribe to it if you say Cheney did it. If you say Cheney did that shit, I'll be like, all right, but I'm like, now, George Bush didn't do shit. Well, I mean, I agree with that, but I don't think Cheney did it either. I don't think that that's what happened. but I'm saying this has an element of that to it too as far as how much Trump is fucking up and just things ain't going well for him.

And what you need, it's an established thing historically in the world of fucking tyrants is you need a, they call it a false flag. You need some kind of something to cause like a groundswell of patriotism and people to all fall in line and be like, okay, we're the good guys and we all got to rally together type deal. so I don't know. There's just, the whole thing, just, it don't hit. No, it don't hit. It don't hit at all. And then the, but to lighten it up a little bit, and this just happened, I think, today, we were talking about a little bit earlier. That's what I was just pulling up.

Okay. So you got it pulled up over there. So to lighten the mood a little bit, but it's still related to this subject, apparently, fucking Sean Spicer, Trump's Spice Dog. press secretary who's you know every bit of a fucking like the cartoon character that all of trump's inner circle are apparently had a press conference about this whole situation was it today it was today too yes while i was on the plane said said you know look we had to respond we had to because of how atrocious this attack was in syria and by the way it was absolutely fucking disgusting without a doubt but he's like guys you've got to realize

I mean, even Hitler, even Hitler never, never dares to stoop to the level of using chemical warfare on his own people. Even Hitler would never dare to do that. And everybody in the press conference just looking around at each other like, do we tell him? By the way, in Sean Spicer's defense, Hitler had a very narrow term of what his. people were. He didn't do it to his people. He did it to people who he was like, Ziza not my people.

That was sort of his whole thing. His whole fucking thing. That's what he said. He goes, even Hitler didn't stoop to this level. And then one of the journalists goes, explain yourself. And then just like fold their arms. And he goes, well, I mean, you know, he wasn't,

he wasn't dropping chemicals on, innocent people. Just Jews. Just the Jews. Just the Jews. He also. Lord. He also, he goes, and now this was, you know, again, he's up there and he's out, he's like, he's caught off guard, as you shouldn't be as the press secretary, by the way. So everybody's going to go, well, he was caught off guard. It's his job to be on guard. At all times. At all fucking times to be on guard. So fuck your, he's caught off guard. He should have a retort to everything you fucking say. He should be so educated in all this. He should have done his fucking homework or don't get the fuck out there. Nobody says you, just stay back for.

second read and come out here he he recalled a referred to uh the death camps as holocaust centers which he goes no no no no no i know that they were doing some bad things in the in the holocaust centers which sounds like a place jews play basketball right yeah yeah like yeah he was it was bad somebody on and of course as as they've been for the the past hundred days calling for sean spicer's job and uh i I can't, God damn it. And if you're listening, it's one of my comic buddies. I can't remember who it was. It was on Facebook.

If you're listening to this, comment on it, and I'll give you credit. I'll tag you. He said, quit calling for Sean Spicer's job. Do you really want a competent liar in there? Right. Like, no. This is exactly what we need. Yeah.

Them to fold and not know what the fuck they're doing and they don't. That's been part of, that right there reflects a lot of my argument for a while now about Trump. People keep asking me, like, well, what do we do? what do we do to like get Trump's people back and to win back the country and stuff? And I mean, look, I'm not suggesting just like sit on the sidelines the entire time. But for right now at this stage, the way shit is going, I genuinely think like, look, man, give them enough rope to hang themselves. They are so incompetent and fucking so many things up.

Let's just allow them to keep doing that. And they'll, you know, they'll fuck it up themselves. Like, it, you know, it's like in the Super Bowl when the Falcons wouldn't run the goddamn ball. Like, the Patriots just, hey, I brought this. Belichick wasn't going to send a text over her like, man, you really should hand it off a couple times. Right. You know, like, just let them fuck it up. I brought this up.

I brought this up last week, and we didn't really have a lot of time to go in on it, I guess. But to me, it's like, okay, look, we know. Sean Spicer's incompetent. We know Trump is. is a trigger-happy, misogynist, sexist, racist, douchebag. We know all these things. Quit. We don't need another op-ed about that.

We know. And everyone that you need to convince of that is thoroughly convinced, and everyone who's not going to be convinced still won't be convinced. So, while they're out doing all this bullshit, you've got a lot of time to groom a fucking Democratic candidate. That's what you should be doing. Instead of sitting here going, let's all fucking. and, you know, filibuster this and, and again, you should if it's a big enough bill,

but, like, what you need to be doing is going, who the fuck do we have? How did we, we lost to this guy. We fucking lost to this guy. The last, remember our, the last hope was like, oh, John Edwards, he's going to be a fucking guy. And then turns out he's fucking somebody while his wife's got cancer. You, we suck. Fine. Use this time.

We got a lot of time right now, because they're all, like you said, give them enough rope to hang themselves with. They're going to be doing this. There's nothing you can do about it. Where's our guy? We've got to find our fucking guy. Bernie's probably too old. And we've been down that road.

I mean, I don't know. Why I say he's too old. He's literally two years older than Trump. So if you, now. Buddy Bernie's too old. I know he. Well, I know he is, but in that case, Trump is too. But like, we need a young fucking, we need Obama.

We need another Obama. We need, we just need Obama. We need Michelle to run. Because, and this is the thing I read the other day. It is legal. If Michelle wanted to run, Barack could run as her. vice president. Lord, that hit.

That would hit so hard, and you talk about the fuck. Can you imagine in four years if that really did happen? Yeah. How happy everybody is. We would have a, we would have a civil war, and it would hit. I just can't imagine. We go to a tour of Europe, and it'd be fine. I can't imagine Obama signing back up for that gig.

He wouldn't. He wouldn't. He absolutely wouldn't, and we don't. And we don't deserve, we don't deserve him to. Right. We don't deserve him to at all. Now, this is a situation where you look back. and you go, as much as I know

you didn't owe us this, Joe Biden, this could have been avoided. Yeah, and Joe Biden has said that he regrets it. Yeah, he would have won. I know it would have. Dude, he had like lost a son and shit. No, I'm not, again, again. I don't blame him a bit. It really sucks.

I don't blame him either. I'm just saying he could have just ran one and then not done a goddamn thing and it would be better. He could have just done what he did his vice president and just like, fucking point at people and just hit and it'd been fine. Dude, this whole Sean Spicer thing, this is another one of those things related to Trump

where it's so, it's so over the top egregiously stupid and incompetent that it's genuinely hard for me to believe. Like we've talked before on the podcast, we've had arguments about are we living in a simulation? And I've never subscribed to that either. But this type of shit makes me think like that we are in some super advanced version of the Sims and whoever's running it. His shitty 12-year-old is currently at the keyboard with his dick. Just seeing how far, yeah, just slapping the keyboard with his dick, just seeing how ridiculous he can make things.

Because, dude, it doesn't say, it shouldn't be possible for them to be this like comically insanely fucking bad. You know it's, you know, it's, it's unreal. You know, it's really true. You know, it's really true. It's because, like, we've talked about it before. Part of me really does believe that. I'm like, we are on a simulation. And if I subscribe to that, I have to also subscribe to the thought that this is the only

reality in which me and you are successful comedians. What do you mean? Like, only in a world where a 12-year-old is slapping his dick on a keyboard, do me and you get to sit in your guest house in Burbank? Because if this was going up to pop, we'd still be back in Oak Ridge going, God damn it! We're good! Yeah, you're right.

So that don't hit for me. No, that's hilarious. Well, fuck it. We wanted to give them a shorter one. Let's give them a shorter one, son. Read the dates over there. Let's wrap this up. Okay, let's see.
