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, 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 ske 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 subscriptions 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 probably like, I should know Spanish.

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 had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, 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 cue ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was that in response to. 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.

We recorded it in our hotel in Lexington, Kentucky, right after we did a show for the, honestly, I don't know what it was called, but we're going to call it the international gathering of bears. It was a bunch of burly gay men at the hotel, at the Mary out there in Lexington. It was a fucking blast. Everybody was hilarious. I'm not talking about our show.

talking about the dudes. They were great. I went out dancing with them afterwards, and we just had. They treated us great. We had a blast. Eric and Adam and all those dudes. Thank you for having us. That was so much goddamn fun. So on this particular podcast, Trey has a couple things to say about the dinosaur

argument last week. And also another thing I'd like to throw out there, we had some people do this last week. I told, I put up on Facebook, which I don't know how many people that actually listen to this podcast also follow me on Facebook. But I had a great response to it.

I said that if you, I want you to please, if you listen to our podcast regularly, go on iTunes and leave us a review. You know, obviously download, share, tell your friends, all that stuff. But if you're on iTunes, leave a review, on Stitcher leave a review, Spotify leave a review. If you're, whatever, if you're allowed to leave a review on whatever podcast site you use to listen to us, if you could please do that, it helps us move up in the rankings and, you know, we're still going to put the goddamn podcast out. I don't know what I'm trying to get at here.

But, you know, the higher up in the rankings, the better we feel. And we're comedians, so we need validation and shit like that. Also, I'm not asking you, if you've ranked the podcast before, left a comment or left a review, I'm not asking you to go back and do that again. I'm just saying if you do enjoy the podcast and you listen to it and you enjoy it being free and all that good stuff, go leave us a review. And if you'll do that, I did this on Facebook. If you'll leave a review, screenshot that review, and then private message it to me on,

I'm at Corey Ryan Forster on Facebook. I'm at Corey R. Forrester on Twitter. I'm Corey Forrester on Instagram. You can find me. Just type in my fucking name. I show up on all the things. Go to Google. Type in my name.

Some shit pops up. If you will screenshot your review and send it to me on any of the platforms that we have, I will send you a personalized video. I made about, I don't know, 15 or 16 videos last week, and I had a lot of fun with it. So, you know, not that getting a personalized video from me is like the best thing in the world. But, you know, I had some, it was Valentine's Day last week, so I had a lot of female fans message me,

wanting me to do a video shitting on their husbands, which I did, and it was super fun. And, I mean, it was neat, and I like doing it. It's fun for me. So if you'll leave us a review, screenshot it's sent it to me, I'll send you a video, just tell me what you want. Just trying to create a little community here. Anyways, enjoy the podcast, and come see us on tour.

I can't wait to see you in Chattanooga. I'm so pumped to be home. And just, yeah, love you. Share with this podcast with everybody. And skew. Well, well. So, listen. Here we are.

Here we are. Sorry. Sorry. Unbelievable. Sorry. I feel like I have at least a little bit of explaining to do. Although I feel like most people probably pretty much get, you know, what happened. Yeah, you was wrong and you hate being wrong.

I was drunk. drunk and I told you this the other night, Drew, this is 100% true though. I really think there's a lot of this at play here. And you disagree with me the other night and you're going to again now. It's fine. I don't know what you're talking about. I think a lot of, I think the difference, I think the main thing that was happening with that dinosaur feathers argument for me is.

So I, you know, fat, dorky kid. Like I, oh, he's taking it back to him. No, no, no. Worshipped dinosaurs. He always does. Worship dinosaurs. It gets everybody on his side immediately. Worship dinosaurs, right, loved them.

They never stopped hitting for me. Over the years, when it's come out, like, scientists now believe that dinosaurs may have had, you know. I remember this conversation. Velociraptors may have, in fact, had feathers and been smaller or whatever. Anytime anything like that's come out, I've, like, clicked on it, and I'll see, I'll see the actual picture of, like, this is what we now think of a velociraptor looks like. And not just velociraptors, other dinosaurs, too, over the years. I've seen a bunch of those. And every single time, when I've seen the picture, I've been like,

Oh, man, that's a bummer. Because it was drawn by a scientist. And it's also, they're mostly brown and gray and white and stuff. They're not, they just have like an orange spot on them. And the bill is like a platypus bill. Right. Which don't hit. Like an actual rooster bill would hit.

Right. Some of them look like they're missing some. So when you brought that up last week and I was like, and immediately you said, you know, now they think that and I was immediately like, yeah, but that don't hit. And you said, yes, it doesn't hit. But from that point on, we were off to the races. And I think that you, and I think a lot of other people, when you say a T-Rex and a fucking Rick Flair Feather Boa, I mean, yeah, that sounds pretty fucking metal. But I'm thinking of these, like, actual pictures that are across the board downgrades, in my opinion.

Okay. And I stand by that. But, like, the Steven Spielberg version of the brown one also ain't what the actual brown one would have looked like, neither. So I was imagining the Stephen Spilberg. Spilberg Feathered version I feel like when that movie was

made, and I could be wrong about this, I don't know, but I thought like that was basically what they thought they looked like. There was some other

bullshit world. But I've seen some of the feather ones that are super metal. I have to. You know what I mean? And some of the feather ones are

I have to, what this leads me to conclude is they don't fucking know what they looked like. I agree with that. I think they need to quit fucking with it.

I don't know about that. Now, they, well, they don't know. Unless they come out with one that hits harder.

They find out they don't hit as hard. Shut up. I told Trey this story, and this was my sort of thing throughout that whole argument. There's a piece of pop culture that has stuck with me the way religious text does with some people. You know, I'm a contrarian. I don't like nothing. And that will make you miss hits in your life. Remember the comic strip, XKCD?

Yeah. I know you do, because we talked about it the other night. Corey, I guarantee you. They're stick figures. stick figure comic strip. White face. There's stick figures black and white comic strips.

They're one of those popular ones on the internet. Yeah, I'm certain that I know. And most of the jokes, and I know this sounds lame, but it's not, are science, math, computer? I know exactly what the fuck that is.

And yes, that always hit for me. I love that shit. So those dudes walking by and this little kid studying Velociraptors, and I don't remember exactly how it goes, but the gist of it is, what are you looking at? He says Velociraptors.

Yeah, I heard they gave him feathers so stupid. And the little kid, who's just now learning. about Velociraptors for the first time. I was like, yeah, I guess they could like kind of hover with them and tear out the guts of their enemies. And the guy's like, pff.

Really? Right. And then he goes and he sits down. He's like, what else? And he's like, they got talons like Burton. And anyway, my point is I was like, I'm that guy. That's me. You miss the hits.

I walk around missing hits because I'm that guy. And that stuck with, that specific thing stuck with me. And it's like, oh, don't miss all the hits because you're trying to be cool, Drew. And don't have that as a personality. You know what I mean? don't be that guy, because I was that guy, I live in my 20s. We're just like... As per usual, I'm the boy.

Yes. Getting all the hits. Whatever, it's fine. And I'm the balloon. Fuck rotten tomatoes. This movie hits. I don't give a shit. Yes.

So, it stuck with me, and it was about the Lossa Raptors. Right. It was about this exact topic. And not hanging on to your childhood. That's so fucking funny. That's the one thing that you made a firm stance. I'm not going to be contrarian. I'm going to like this thing.

And then, fast forward years later, this is the thing that Trey. dreamt at. Tray must... And, like, you had no idea that that's the one thing. He also just assumed I was just being contrarian. Right. You know what I mean? Right.

Because I do that. Which you were technically being anti-contrarian. I thought, though, you wanted to make a different ademden, and I want you to make it. Not because I want you to say sorry, but I think this is an important ademden. And I want to allow... I can't talk. I was also going to bring up... Oh, yeah.

I had forgotten. And I'm glad you reminded me of this. Yeah. There was a point in there where... You said that cassoir, something like cassoires are like as close to like dinosaurs or whatever. They're blue. Now, look at that. Tell me that don't hit.

You show me a picture. Of course, people can't see the picture you show me. And I've seen cassoiris before. But on the episode, I said, oh, yeah, fucking long-legged turkey-looking motherfucker. That motherfucker, that mother-fucker, that mother-fuged, I said, long-legged turkey-looking motherfucker ain't shit. That motherfucker ain't shit about a cassowary. And I do want to retract that statement and sincerely apologize on behalf of all-ca.

Because, like, I know, I know that Cassowary is like, will fuck your shit. I know. Casawares are hardcore. And I'm aware of that. And they listen to podcast. And I knew that then. So, yeah, I feel bad about the Cassowary thing. In case they, we run into one in the streets.

I thought about this shit all week. In case anybody don't know, wait, are you going to continue on Cassowaries right now? No. Just real quick, if anybody's wondering, because I don't know how common they are, because I didn't know about them until I went to Australia. Like most murderous things, yes, they're in Australia. Yes. And they are literally deadly birds.

They're like almost the size as an ostrich. but they got towns that they will go for your guts and your throat with it. Yeah, they're like aggressive. Right, and they've only killed like four humans per year on average the last few years. And I bet it was because the humans went up to them. Well, also, well, I'm just saying, four's a lot for a goddamn bird if it ain't through the flu. They're also not that, like, prevalent, right? Like, they're not.

I don't know how many in the whole world there are, but in this part of the world I saw it in, there was apparently only like 200 living in that part of the wild. And out of then 200 people a year. That's pretty good. Yeah. When you aren't, no, not to fuck with them. So we chase one with the camera. and uh...

I'd be honest I'd rest in peace Pete dude oh for real no he's with Bryce now yeah oh yeah

rest and peace and then and then we can move on because there's other hitting shit at play right now I'd actually like to have Pete on the episode

to talk about this time we and him almost got in a fist fight over peanut butter but please continue um the only I've just

I've thought about this all week and I definitely I can absolutely see how the notion of all that could hit real hard.

I just the whole time in my head was thinking about actual pictures I've seen that have never once hit for me. I have since found pictures that do hit, though, of dinosaurs with kids. Mostly not. Fucking Google dinosaurs with feathers and go to the image search. There's one in particular. Out of the top, like, 21 or two of them might kind of hit. The rest of them look stupid as hell.

There's one face in particular that's on so many of them. Platypus. It looks like a buck. like a buck tooth duck. It's a platypus. It looks like Freddie Mercury if he couldn't sing. But another thing I thought of, Corey, that's the worst thing I've ever heard of.

Corey, and the new Jurassic movie, they don't, I mean, honestly, none of them, none of any of the Jurassic movies touched the first Jurassic Park.

Hell no. But have you seen the most recent one? No, I've seen the one right before it. I watched it on the plane and I was tired. I watched it on a plane and I was tired and it didn't particularly hit and whatever.

And this didn't occur. But I actually think maybe that they put, like spiny, feathery type things on the new dinosaur in the new Jurassic world, maybe. I don't hit. And I mean, he was pretty raw. Right. But, like, that's the thing, too, like the T-Rex now, that T-Rex pitcher man you were talking about, where it's like T-Rex-Rex-A-Rex-Kin-E-R-Wing.

Yeah, they're just, they don't even really feathers. It's more like spines or, yeah, like spiky shit. Yeah, that, you know, that's pretty hard. Yeah, for sure, but don't call it feathers. Right. But anyway, so, yes, I definitely retract some of that. I still generally stand by. But the main thing I'm totally with you on, they don't, they don't know.

They don't know what they actually, they definitely don't know what fucking color they were. Well, have you seen, and it's still, this doesn't necessarily mean they know what color it is, because if you bury a pair of cowboy boots, they'll change colors. Have you seen, though, there's some river that has some bacteria in it, and I want to say Latin America somewhere? I clearly have no idea. Here's the only thing I know. They found like a piece of skin that was pretty fucking well preserved.

It was literally 300 million years old. was buried. Yeah. It was in a cool but kind of dry spot somehow and whatever these enzymes were. It eaten some of the flesh but left the skin behind and then it's basically it excretes some natural preservative. That's another one of those things where I'm like, that's rad as hell. But how y'all know?

What? How long does it take you to say that's 300 million years old? I think they do radiocarbon day. The data. How's that work? The dating. That's my thing. I don't know.

They just saying stuff. Okay. But we can't go too far down this path. I'll fuck this up. Or we'll end up at the Ark of the Covenant things within people who say dinosaurs is only 20,000 years old. And flat earth. Yeah, yeah. The dating of the stuff, and I'll fuck up the specifics, but the dating of the stuff, I think, it was, you know, it took a long time to get to this point.

But at this point, I'm pretty sure they're pretty confident about the dating of things. Because it has to do with, like, isotopes that decay at the exact same rate no matter what. And so if you look at a specimen and see how decayed that isotope is, then you know how long it's. like been there. I'm, I'm crazy. I'm science dumb, but it's something like that that they're pretty confident in. But like, think about, you know how hard it is to become a fossil, like an actual fossil? Like, 99 plus percent of things that ever lived didn't get fossilized.

Neither one was had a joke for that. Man, I was nothing. I was like, 14 hours and a nice surgeon and I don't, I got nothing. Yeah, I was, I had a Dennis Miller angle and it didn't come out. I was thinking about my pat ball, but I wanted to put respect on his name. Yeah, I got nothing. realize like how limited the fossil record is for all these good reasons there's an insane amount of shit that we have no idea about at all as far as like when they find a new fossil bed apparently it's like it's straight up indiana jones shit like it's guarded with guns it's money involved the government has to get involved because it's so rare and valuable and the back of what you were just saying i feel like i read that as they perfected it they had been off about certain dinosaurs by like 40 or 50 million years yeah and that changed how someone in that field looked at the evolution,

but it didn't change. Okay, they were 230 years old, this particular one, not 270. Yeah. But that's accurate as fuck, in my opinion. Absolutely.

But anyway, we can move on from dinosaurs. I just felt like I should do that since I was all fucked up and shit. Yeah, I'm sure by the end of this podcast, they'll know some different shit about them that this all be wrong too. But honestly,

and I'm about to get all, I'm about to get all, you know, dumber and shit here. but like, honestly, what you just said is, like, one of the things about science that hits me. I know, me too. I mean, I hear you. That don't happen in almost any other, like, you know what I mean?

Where they're, like, trying to prove themselves wrong all the time. And when they do, it's like a good thing. No, yeah. That they're, like, excited about. Absolutely. I mean, nobody else really does that shit. Dude, absolutely nobody does that. That's a complete opposite of religion.

It's also literally. Which is, I'm not saying anything that everybody don't know. It's also the entire basis almost, or one main tenant of the anti-golitanant of the anti-goligaliener. global warming stuff. It's like, look, they was wrong here. They admitted it. And it's like, yeah, that's the thing you've never done, preacher. Right.

Admitting your wrong is not a bad thing. Right. In science, it's probably a good, yeah, necessary and a good thing. Well, they never admitted they're wrong. We used to be putting leeches on our tities. Right. I do hope. Right.

And we wouldn't know what hepatitis was. They would just be like, I don't know. He's got a cough. I am glad that the dude who was 70 million years off on dinosaurs. I'm glad that he died, though, before they found out he was wrong. You know what I mean? That is for me that he didn't have to... I don't know for sure about that.

Actually, that's pretty... It reminds me of a very wild thing. There's that documentary about the CERN, about CERN. Mm-hmm. The particle collider. Particle Collider. And I'm sure there's... Yes.

I'm sure there's a lot of them. But have you seen... There's one where... A lot of documentaries or a lot of particles. Documentaries. Yeah. And there's one where they... The one where they talked about when they kind of located the Higgs-Bosson.

I haven't seen the documentary, but I remember when that happened. There's his fucking moment. Oh, that was like, not in those recent years six years ago there's an old scientist and a new scientist that they followed through

and these dudes have very very different competing theories as to what this thing is going to and I didn't understand the science I can't explain it beyond that the old man says when we do this

it's going to prove me right the young man says when they do this it's going to prove me right they weren't that arrogant about it as a matter of fact their buddies so moving is they were

you could tell that they were nervous right and to I mean I'm I don't want to give away the documentary, but I have to to finish the goddamn story, neither of them were right. It ended up right in the middle, and neither of them could make sense of it. And the young dude was kind of excited. Well, yeah.

Like, he was like, fuck, I was wrong, but this is crazy. Because he's got his whole life to figure that shit out. To work with this new information. The old guy's like, I've spent my whole life. Heart broken. Of course. Guaranteed. It's not just like he spent his whole life and he was wrong.

If I'm not mistaken in that world, he spent his whole life and it was futile. Like his research is literally useless now. The young guys was too, but he could do new research. This guy's like, I'm five years from retiring. And it's over. Like, my whole life was wondering about this. Not only did I get it wrong, now I know. Now you know how Road Comics feel about the word retard.

You know what I'm saying? That's hilarious. No one's going to get that. But I've been doing this for 70 goddamn years. Dude, and this is not, I'm not proud of this, but this is true. I wanted to call that fucking buck-toothed dinosaur

we kept talking about a retarded dinosaur the like five times in a row and I was like, I can't. And I shouldn't. But like, absolutely.

Yeah, it's a prehistoric word. It's a comic rebel flag. It's our culture, God damn it. Yeah. Come on, man. I inherited this. Well, we're, fuck.

It's fine. I'll own it. No, I made that. Yeah. So. Anyway, that old man broke my heart. So we're in,

That does suck, man. We're in Lexington, Kentucky. The day before the UT Kentucky wins game. Yeah, that's another thing. Oh, good. We get to go to Massachusetts. Yeah, Tennessee and Kentucky play tomorrow. Tennessee's number one.

Kentucky's number four? Five, I think. What time they play? They are five. They play in. But they got beat this week. Oh, that's right. By the time you'll hear this.

Yeah, so, yeah, they're going to be motivated. Not that they would have been anyway. I haven't looked it up, but I don't know the last time they got beat twice in a row. and Ruppermack. By the time this comes out, y'all already know what has happened, well-read listeners. That's true. But anyway, it's just Raven that we happen to be in Lexington, Kentucky, when the Valls, who are number one,

are playing the Wildcats in Lexington, except we're not, because we have to go to the airport and get on a plane and fly to Massachusetts. And then to make it extra Raven, I wore my Tennessee Vals shirt to piss off our crowd tonight and just fuck with people. And then this crowd, I think, is from all over the country. And that's what I was getting to. So we're at this.

You can't even piss me. people off when you want to. That's hilarious. We're at Marriott in Lexington and turns out, and we've actually known this, but not the details of it for a while. It's the North American Bear weekend, North American Bear weekend at this hotel, and we don't mean, you know, pooing them. Different kind of bears. And it's both. They all over this hotel. I've seen one name poo.

I bet. A lot of them wear a few shirts with their nickname. But yes, large, large. A lot of people here named Daddy. A lot of people here named Daddy. Large Harry Gay Man. And when I first got here, I got here after both of y'all.

And from my perspective, this is what happened. I walked in, check in, give her my name, she gets the reservation, whatever, and she gives me my key. And then she also is like, she pulls out the itinerary for the Bayer Convention and starts telling me where all the events are happening and all that and everything. Oh, I didn't get that. And I was like, uh, You know, I was like, okay, she's just assuming that I'm here for the Bayer convention.

Are you here to drill all the holes in the wall? But like, I want it. But, you know, what I'm going to say, I didn't want to seem like offended or nothing because I don't want to seem like homophobic. But it wasn't about the gay part. It was about the fat part. You know what I was like, man, I'm trying to run. Let's not a hit. But, you know, I was like, God damn it.

She just knows. She just looks at me and is like, yeah, I know why you're here. So then I texted both. You fat bearded man. Then I texted both the, yeah, fat bearded gay. man. So then I texted both of y'all. It was like, I explained that and said, did that happen to you? You were napping, Drew, so you didn't respond. But Corey said, no, none of that. And I said, God damn it, I knew it. And so then I became convinced that this is what had actually happened.

I told my wife, and because also, side note, I left the house this morning. I was in a hurry. I was going to be late to the airport. It's four in the morning. I don't hit at that time of day. Long story short. I left my wedding ring. It was not the first time I've done it because I don't sleep with it on. And I texted her immediately and told her I left it and she's been giving me shit, but lightheartedly all day. But then when I told her about the bear convention and all that shit, she just total 180. She's so thrilled now. She's like, that's so goddamn funny. She thinks it's hilarious. And she's like, I bet you wish you had your ring now, don't you, big boy, you know, or whatever. She said big boy. Yeah. That should be, that's what we're going to put on the

back of your t-shirt. But, but, but turns out, turns out that isn't really what happened because Drew you're like objectively not a bear and you got the same treatment you're an honor you're an otter we've covered this I think that I used to be an otter I think you're a hibernated too long I think you're a fat otter but you're still I'm fodder for the game yeah yeah you're definitely but I did get one but I walked up to the counter I was like is it self-park is there valet he's like it's $20 but you can just move it over there and it's free and I was like okay you drive you drive it's Grove?

Yeah, because remember I wasn't saw my mom and dad at the cabin? Oh, right. You're right? Anyway, he said, I just need a credit card, Mr. Morgan. I said, okay, but the room's covered, right? Because I'm here, I'm the entertainment. Like, someone paid for this, and he, that's

when he handed it to me. I just realized, I mean, I thought, this is the same thing. Oh, and then also we found out Corey got it, too. Corrie who had told me, no, buddy, didn't get none of that. Turns out, he absolutely did. Yeah, he just didn't know the word itinerary. Yeah, I kept calling it. No, that ain't, that ain't it.

I know what itinerary means. We get whatever we get whatever goddamn week from our manager, Nat, you're listening, telling us what all we have to do before. Oh, that's true. Get on that,

nah. Anyways, I just, they handed me a piece of paper and then I immediately started like checking the scene. I just put it in my pocket. I completely fucking just forgot about it. Sure.

But yeah, I got, I did get this. I didn't realize it was for that. No public nudity. Man, it's so funny. You also says no public defecation or your nation. If this was a group of lesbians, this thing would not have to be this long.

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Like, they know it's some men afoot. Like, it says there's five different bullet points on here, and every single one of them mean, hey, don't pull your dick out in public. They just have to keep reiterating it because men is nasty. Yeah. And it's so fucking funny to me. Well, another thing that I was talking to Trey about.

No public defecating. Lord, they wouldn't have to say that to women. I don't think. But, now you're probably right. German ones? Yeah, it's that, Shizer. That's what they into. Really?

I mean, the German Shizer movies is where you shit on each other's face. Oh, Shizer just means shit. I guess, yeah, German Shizer porn. Hitler was into it. Is that real? I've seen it, yeah. I mean, it's... I mean, him being into it.

Oh, I don't fucking know. They genuinely had like a, like a... Not market, but like, that was not only a thing back then, but was enough of a thing? Oh, yeah, German Shizer porn. Yeah, man. I'm saying back in, like, Hitler Day. Oh, that I don't know. He may have started it.

They had just started, you know, talkies had just happened. He may have started it. I know porno has been at the forefront always. When you're a dude like Hitler, you've done so much at the end of the year, like, you're like, you know, he's, shit on the feeling that ever since there's been porno, like. People been shitting on each other. Pretty soon there after poop got involved.

Absolutely. I mean, yeah, I could see that. I mean, like, they definitely had pornos back in those days. We're in it now. What are we talking about? Well, I'm going to say, I consulted the list like an idiot. Well, we went to the G&A. convention, the gay natures international

convention, a little over a year ago. And we got there, and it was just naked dudes. Everywhere, you know, there was like, hey, if you want to pee on each other, go over here. Yeah. And we talked about this. You got like a yellow bracelet? Like, it was really on the nose. How nice everyone was and how comfortable we got so quickly.

Like, it was almost immediate. It was amazing. Everybody was nice. Everybody was free. Everyone was relaxed. Blah, blah, blah. I don't feel that here. And at first, I was like, what is going? I don't what the fuck is wrong with me? I'm not approved. And I realized I don't mind, and it's not that I mind at all, I don't want to come across the wrong way.

It's just like, I don't have much of reaction other than to a man walking around in a jockstrap generally. But in this hotel in Kentucky, I'm like nervous for them is what it is. Yes, and that's like, my prejudice is a Southern one on my own. I'm like, don't put your clothes on before some fucking redneck gets mad at you.

Yeah, because this is a Marriott. I felt the same fucking way. A Marriott at like a white, person horse and golf resort in Lexington, Kentucky. This is, these guys are walking around with ball gags and shit at. I mean, yeah, it's, I mean, I hear you. This is going to sound so fucking white-noughty,

and please don't think that that's what I'm trying to, trying to be like. But in the same vein of what you're saying, we were on the elevator earlier, and it was me and eight, you know, dudes who, bears, dudes, and like, the ballgag. No, it didn't get stuck. But, like, that one in the middle.

One of them's broke. The reason it's broken. One of them is broken. Buddy, I was walking down the hallway and I know 17 bears got stuck on. By the way, the dude was country. I'm not just like making the character's country. He was like, 17 bears got stuck on the elevator earlier. Well, like, some goes, bet that stink.

Look. Lord. And I bet it did. So anyways, we were on the elevator and, you know, those all on there and like, now granted, I was wearing my fucking, like, bomber jacket in these shoes. I don't look how I sound. You know what I'm saying? but like I still was like I wanted I wanted some way to verbalize to these dudes

hey man I'm cool because I'm here I go hey what floor you on and I just felt that they were just like oh god this guy is he gay you know like any any dude in Kentucky at this fucking hotel that's not gay could possibly be a threat anyway okay on that no not for nowhere I would bet you're not I think most of these boys can take care of them so they can they can it's not It's some big old boys walk around this. It's not a physical thing, though. It's not just a physical thing, though. It's not just like, I don't hit. Like, it's an emotional.

Yeah. Yeah. This is y'all's space now. Right. Now I'm intruding. Well, that's, you know, that's another thing, too. Like, I just, I wanted to announce my presence. Like, I just want to raise my hand on the other over go, excuse me.

Like, the fucking Malaney. They definitely. Like, I'm new in town. I am gay. I'm not gay. Y'all are definitely right that it don't hit to be, like, prejudice to get, or whatever, regardless if you can whip that person's ass. but like I bet though that there's at least a fair portion of these boys that are walking around here.

I wish a motherfucker would. I actively wishing a motherfucker would. That's exactly what I was going to say. And I wouldn't blame them. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either, but that's still like, you don't, I ain't no way to be. Like, nobody wants to be that way. But other than that, the only people I've seen that didn't, weren't very obviously here for the convention with matching T-shirts and matching ball gags was like a dad and a kid.

I've not seen one person that I'm confident that I could win in a fight, by the way. it's the bear you know it's not just i don't think i could take loco i saw him earlier but i do i think he'd be even i sent you on a rassling leotard though so maybe he's got skis i sent you all i picture of daddy he was ready to go yeah you know what i mean i ain't fucking with that dude but anyways here we are and so the show tonight i mean obviously i should know this but i don't is it open to the it is it is far i know it is but tray i asked these questions and was simply told this is an LGBT fundraiser

for an organization I don't remember the initials like MRI and I was like cool it is that but also it's part of the convention right see that's what was confusing me because yes that's what we were told in the lead up to it was that first thing you said

well they do told me he's like no there's a bunch of people from Lexington here but yeah there's people from all over okay well whatever I mean it'll be fun a lot of bears are coming country, I just know from hearing them on my floor, because they're just hanging out in their rooms, you know, ball gagging and whatnot. And, I mean, I've heard quite a few like, oh, honey, you look great. And I'm like, Uncle Tim's here.

And it ain't him. No, yeah. Is Uncle Tim here? I'm glad you brought him up because, listen, no, this is the thing that don't hit, no, he ain't. I didn't even. Not as part of the convention. I just mean, like, he just was like, oh, Trey, you're close. I'll come.

And then it just happens to be. No, but I talked to him on the phone right before this. And I didn't even, I was going to bring it up. But like I told you all, because Uncle Tim's this type, he had some shit he wanted to talk to me about. And by the time that was over, I needed to get in the shower and go because we had to do this. It's been 30 minutes. I've already said by four times, you know, and we're still talking. And so I ended up never even telling him about it because I knew that would open up a whole new can of the dicks.

But like, but, but he said, again, this part don't hit. But like, listen how stupid this is. So this is why he had called me. And he said he knew better and he didn't take it this way, but he was getting these messages and stuff. So, you know, I do those, I host some of those undivided attention episodes on Facebook Watch or whatever. Yeah.

Those like explainer things for attention media. We didn't know. I filmed all those in like early December. It's been a while. And I vaguely remember this, but I don't remember. Did I go with you to one of those? Was that in December? One of those.

or maybe earlier. It wasn't the last ones were in early December. They started before that. But they're still, like, coming out. And I guess when it came out, so I vaguely remember this because it's been a while and I did a lot of them. I have some line in one of them that is something to the effect of. And also, I don't write that those are written by attention writers. I'm just like the host.

But I have some line in one of those that's something to the effect of, you know, sort of like having to tell your racist. racist uncle that all Mexicans aren't, yada, whatever. Oh my God. You know, and that's what I said, obviously what that means, that's the, that's the royal uncle, yeah, which doesn't exist. The royal uncle is, clearly

to me, that's clearly what that means. That's a, the Duke of Hazard. That's tremendous. We've all got, we all have racist uncles. The Duke of Aziz. Yada. That's so great. You know, like, it should be clear. Well, he's been getting like messages, repeat.

I guess since it came out not accosting him for like oh so you're racist but being like why did why did Trace say that you were what's up with that? Like you could have other uncles there's so many things that are stupid about it

that's one of them. It's not like you all it's not like a dad or a mom you can't and even that you can have more than one but like uncles you can have a million uncles they don't fucking know. Especially gay uncles but also the you get a new one every year you do like yeah like well like you number one

you've set up your entire career is based on how much you love your goddamn Uncle Tim. I know. And so why, like you're... But also just the wording of it should, in my opinion, be so clear what it actually is saying. But like, hold on. But how many people, like five? I mean, yeah, not many, but enough that he like... Hold on.

Hold on just a second. Let me see if I can wrap my head around this. You're telling me that some of your fans saw something you sent on the internet and took it weird. I said all this to him too. And again, he said he knew. Now wait. When they took it weird, were they offended on behalf of someone who wasn't them? That's crazy.

Yes. I can't. Boys, I'm with you fellers. I said basically all this to him, but it just like, it's still like, you know, sort of sucked. Because, like, he don't normally have to personally deal with, like, that aspect of it. And I told him, I was like, Uncle Tim, I get a version of that off everything I ever do literally. Let me say. Some element of that.

I'm sorry it's affecting you, but. Preface. this by saying, I wish it wasn't happening at all. The second thing I'll say is it's going to happen. I kind of wish they'd gone a little bit further so you could justify like going on a rant about it. You know, they'd have been like, fuck you, Uncle Tim, and then you could be like, all right, God. Yeah, like harassing him.

Let's make an example of why this is type of behavior is stupid and we're all white nights and we've got to stop doing that. But the last thing I'm going to say, I wish it wasn't happening to him, but I mean, you know, he's also been getting some positives being the gay icon's gay. Oh, I told him. He could stand to get taken down a peg or two. I told him that too. He could stand to get pegged a down or two.

Right after talking to me about that, he then tells me another story about going to this like fundraiser in Nashville that, you know, with like black type of fare type thing, whatever. And he's at like the main table and shit. And the only reason he is is because he's my nephew or whatever. And he was like, I'm his nephew. Sorry. And he was like, you know, so, hey, thanks for that. And I was like, well, yeah, Uncle Tim, it's got ups and downs to it, this whole ride, don't it? And he was like, yeah, being you also sucks sometimes.

Right, yeah, but, uh, but yeah, no, I mean, he's cool. Everything's cool. But I wanted to say, I'm glad you mentioned him because I wanted to say something about this anyway, just so I, like, put it out there that obviously, clearly Uncle Tim is not a fucking racist. This is also what he told me, not that he had to. He was like, I mean, hell. It's like, I mean, you know, I'm everybody knows how. liberal, I'm, I'm your gay uncle.

I just can't even understand how any of these people would ever even assume that about me. And he goes, like, I mean hell, Trey. Man, I don't know if I should say this. Well, everybody knows now. But anyway, he was like, I mean, hell. And he gave some details I'm not going to give because it might identify a person. But then he was like, but anyway, you know that saying, you know, once you go black, you never go back.

Well, I disprove the shit out of that because I went back the very next night. And the night after that. and he was like, and I mean, yeah. I don't think he understands that saying. No, he said, I think I fucked it up. No, I'm making a joke. I assume he's kidding. The saying, whatever.

Once you go black, you never go back the other way. Yes. No, he knows. He just, he likes, plays on words and shit like that. Yeah. He likes puns and keesh. Yes, he loves them. But anyway, so, no, he was full raving earlier because, like, he, he, then went from there

into talking about, you know, his asshole and stuff. So I had to stop him. It's like, okay, Uncle Tim, that's enough. How could I be racist? My asshole's brown. But anyway. Uncle Tim, listen to the podcast? I don't know, because I don't know, because I don't know.

I mean, he keeps up with, like, most of my shit, but he's also, like, still relatively new to, like, the internet and new media and stuff. I don't know that he fucks with podcasts. Podcast, that's a dedication. He also has a busy life being your uncle. Yeah. He's on the fucking black tie affairs. Yeah, man.

but anyway, if anyone is listening who fucking saw that video and had that thought, no, of course, that's not what I fucking meant. And no, Uncle Tim is not, right? He's the sweetest, most loving person. Also, I'll say it. You're a fucking idiot. Try it and say that. That was Cory Forrester.

You can put it on me. You're a goddamn idiot if that's what you thought. Sorry. Not sorry, actually. Well. And now a special motorcycle weather report from Progressive. And today expect mostly sunny conditions with a high on life that can only come from cruising down the road on two wheels.

Kids will wave, dogs will bark, and cyclists and padded shorts will instantly regret their chosen mode of transportation, whereas you, on the other hand, will look super duper cool. Back to you in the studio. This has been a special motorcycle weather report from Progressive, where every day's a beautiful day to ride with coverage from America's number one motorcycle insurer. Get a quote today and see what you could save. Progressive casualty insurance company and affiliates. I diverted that because you brought up Uncle Tim. We were talking, oh, U.S. of Uncle Tim was here at the Barric.

Because you said you were talking to him. I didn't think he was at the Bear Convention, like, as a guest. He came to see me. He came to see you. And it was hilarious to me if this was the show he came to see you at. Because Salinas, it's relatively close to here, right? Yeah. As to anything we do, I guess.

Salinas basically equidistant from Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Lexington. It's literally in the middle of fucking nowhere. Of nowhere. Yeah. But the only thing, people only ever fuck with Nashville or Knoxville. Well, the only reason I ask for the most part is I was at mom and dad's cabin. My dad just bought, let me tell you what he bought. He bought a shed that this old boy who's good with woodwork and put insulation in and made into a quote unquote cabin.

You know those like you just get him at Home Depot pre-built. Yeah, building. Yeah, building. Yeah. This old boy bought a quarter of an acre in the middle of the Daniel Boone Forest that was up for sale. Put a building on it. he was good with woodwork, put some insulation in, put a heater in, put water in. And then my dad bought it, you know, a few years later for relatively cheap.

It's my dad's like retirement. It's just like, I worked for the railroad. This is all I could afford was a building in the goddamn woods. And that's exactly what the fuck I wanted. That seems like that hits for your dad. It's not like he, like, well, I'll, I'll just get this. Like, he was going to get that. The only other thing he wants is to buy his one neighbor.

like bamboozled or something. No. No. I guess I just don't want people to think that my dad retired to a chalet in the mountains. He's very much in a building. Yeah, he's in a building in the woods. Yeah. That's different.

It's literally the only thing better than be in the woods is being a building in the woods. Speaking of chalets in Gatlinburg, I literally can't believe. This place is 15 minutes off the internet. It's just above Salina. 15 minutes off the internet. It's way further off the internet. Yeah. That's something about just 15 years off the internet.

It's 15 minutes off the interstate. That's the sign on the way into Wayne County. 15 years from the internet. That's so funny. It's 15, 20 minutes off the interstate. They've got all kinds of shit up there, like a beach, volleyball, whatever. Cumberland Falls is very close to there. There's a lot of outdoor shit.

I can't believe my dad could afford a building in the woods up there and that it ain't more to that. I'm super happy. It's not. You know, anyway, it's badass. It'll probably end up being worth a lot more building in the wood if they keep with the beach volleyball. But I hope not because I very much just want it to be some tourists going to Cumberland. Literally, there's some tourists that go to Cumberland Falls and that's it.

Everyone else is either local or like grew up around, like knows about it somehow. The Daniel Boone, for whatever reason, is not one of the most popular national forests. No, I'm badass. You know, you were telling me about it the other day and I was, and I didn't know what you were talking. about even though it's like not that far from where I grew up but people just didn't it touches del Halla it's like on the other side from you but it touches Del Hala okay it's so weird because like on the one hand because I grew up on the Kentucky line I felt like no one hand a lot of people were like Kentucky Wildcats fans and a lot of people had like relatives of Kentucky and shit like that but on the

other hand I grew up with assholes too right yeah that's why they always didn't hit for me the wildcats but like on the other hand people that way with Alabama. Lexington is basically as close as Nashville or Knoxville, but like nobody ever, ever went north. You just don't go north. You know what I mean?

It's like, I went going north. We'll go ahead. So like, and I was wrong. I think that's what's up with the Daniel Boone too. I was thinking of Laurel Lake, which is on the top side of the Cumberland River. Okay. And then Del Hala's in the bottom part of the Cumberland River, right? In terms of, bottom meaning

in terms of Kentucky. The Cumberland River somehow is associated with Del Hollow, is it not? Isn't it a damned river? Is that the fucking... Oh my God. Well... What are you thinking right now? Me?

Yeah. You just had like a huge revolution. Well, he's made me feel and look really bad and stupid as far as where I'm from. It's possible that the answer is no. And you know what? I think it is no. You're an offshoot. The Cumberland goes through Salina, but the lake is over here and it's from this

offshoot lake. So no. Okay. All right. See, I didn't think it was. was but I mean that obviously makes sense because the cumberland does go through salina but I was like I don't even know what the it's literally just you know there's a cumberland river and there's the lake and the dam I also am wateredum well look it is there's the cumberland and then this little offshoot and there's the dam right

yeah so it isn't and I don't know how to say this you're it is but it isn't they have made an off shoot and damned it to make the lake but that offshoot I guess isn't truly the Cumberland River. I mean, again, I should know that, but I don't. Well, anyway, north of there on the Cumberland River is where they sat. It doesn't actually touch Del Hall. I was thinking of Laurel Lake. I don't know why.

I'm completely lost. This is the worst podcast you ever did. I'm going to kill myself. That'll help. In a building in the woods. Right. Yeah, that's what it was written. You just have the building now.

That's all I'll say. Not in a building. I'm going to die in New Orleans. It's definitely been written. It's tried to kill me so many times. It's going to be something where I get hammered drunk and think someone's in trouble and go to help me, and they're going to kill me. I, Corey, that hits for me that, like, the last thing you do is be a hero right before you die. No, an idiot.

Who thinks he's a hero? That also hits in his raven, but is it not also, like, lore that he's going to vanish into the wilderness and work on his manifesto while growing his unabomber beard, naked, and all that, yes. Yeah, but that won't kill me. His hair will start thinning, he'll have, like, the George Car. Well, it'll finish thinning. Listen, that's going to, I ain't going to die, though. That's going to rejuvenate me, and then I'm going to go down to New Orleans to relax. I'm going to get over my suicidal tendencies, go to New Orleans to, like, you know, replenish the youth and feel good finally, and then die.

Amber's going to smother me in my sleep, and they're not even going to remotely investigate it at all. Everybody will be like, yeah, he can't breathe. That's what happens when you can't breathe. All right, listen. I don't know if she's going to be listening, and I know no one. cares. Amber? I just know. I just checked my email. We've gotten multiple itineraries from that in the last three

hours. Yeah, no, I knew that we got... Okay, yeah. Okay, yeah, never mind. And she is absolutely listening to this and is already furious. Well, we were making a joke earlier, but it's just hilarious that I'm looking at my email now and I'm like, oh, yeah, that happened. Yeah, I was just going with it. I knew we had those. Okay, so another thing I was going to bring up on the podcast this

week, because I actually, you know, I did that, there's like a Clay County podcast some old boys in Clay County have called One Lane Road that I did when I was home for the holidays. Very jealous of the name. Yeah, great name. And they're good dudes and it's a good podcast. You also check it out. I had a good time.

And one of them in particular, D.K., I've known for years me and him go way back. But they told me this piece of information I'm about to share on that podcast, but I didn't know when it came out or none of that or whatever. And then I saw that it was coming out soon or very recently. It's an album from our good friends. that we've brought up multiple times Florida Georgia line. Yeah. Oh yeah.

And it's called you can't say I ain't. Can't say we ain't country. Yeah. That's what it says. Which is like, and that's why D.K. brought it up to me. It's like they had to.

They're like this. Dude, that's what that's why it has to be. This will get shared by people shitting on it. There's no other explanation for it. Also, have you seen their outfit in it? Yeah. Yeah. They look like they always looked to me.

They look, to me, they look extra. Extra. And in a barn. This is what I'm saying. You can't say this isn't country. And they have on like very expensive designer fake country where they're doing it on. When they got done with that, they were like, look at this shit. Yeah.

So insanely agree. That makes me matter. Actually. The laughing stocks and stuff is far like for people like us while also making all this money and shit. They have to know all that. So like that, yeah, that, right. It has to be on purpose, right? Yeah, but I don't think that was the whole goal.

I think it was like. that's for all the people who are fans of them who feel the same way. And who get defensive about people like us calling them fake or whatever. Right. Right. Because they wouldn't have did a whole album for their haters.

They would know it would start up some controversy and then get their fans behind it. And in fairness of those dudes, I wear bomber jacket, skinny jeans, and Jordans. I can't say much of shit. You know what I'm saying? But the way they dress is the least of it for me. I understand that.

I guess my point is when I do, though, I'm not putting that shit on my album going, look at me. I'm such a God. damn hillbill. I know what I am. But what I'm saying is, is, it's all denim, but one's bleached. Yeah, yeah. Like, my point, if it, honestly, if they

said, tell me that ain't country and they had on Jordans in a bomber jacket, I'd respect them a lot more. Right. Well, thank you. Yeah, he's wearing whatever he wants, which is red as hell. Thank you. That's how I defend myself online when, like, I'm drinking some wine. They're like, you ain't fucking Southern boy, you're drinking wine. I'm like,

I drink whatever the fuck I want. Wait a minute. Am I alone and feeling like the clothes or like the one maybe the least part of it's like the way they look i think it's on purpose is what i'm saying because i've seen dude i've seen these dudes wear like all leather and stuff like this is to them this is how you dress if you're going to put the album out tell me that ain't country is what i'm right i agree the whole thing's on purpose i'm not saying it's a huge deal i just don't really give a fuck the way about how they like dress it's everything else i was offering that up as

evidence that this was that you're right purposeful and it just has to be in the way that you mean yeah i mean it i mean it has to be it has to be it has to be it has to be but like yeah i don't know they like i don't really have anything else beyond it other than that i just saw it and wanted to hear what i got i got shit on i mean honestly i take it completely personally i feel like this is absolutely they're trolling me personally yeah i well it's funny because you were talking about getting shit on by fans earlier like completely missing the point i guess like i posted the thing today was i posted that album says you know you can't tell us this ain't country and my caption was

unless you mean in fluent Portuguese, yes, I can. Right. And one of our fans, I won't say his name, but one of our fans got on there and I'm talking about gave me down the road for,

not for making fun of shitty pop country, but for constantly singling out Florida Georgia line because he goes on this whole diet trip. They all sound that way, Corey. They're all shitty, but it's really weird that you singled these guys out when everyone, I'm like, okay, so far, you agree, you agree that I'm right,

that they suck. But you're mad that I don't, equally shit on everybody else. Like, what does that even mean? That's what I'm saying? Like, if somebody came on there and was like, hey, man, look, this ain't for, the argument, if someone came on there and said, hey, dude, I hear you, but like, this just ain't for you.

you. All right, you know what? Fair. I'm being a dick. This ain't for me. They haven't ever done anything personal to me. People like them. Fuck it.

But to be like, hey, if you're, it's wrong of you to only shit on, you should also be shitting on these people and these people and these people. I'm like, they're just the poster children for it. They're that like, when Larry, when everybody was shitting on Larry the able guy, there was plenty of other dumbass hack, redneck motherfuckers doing shit, but he was the fucking poster boy. Also, man, I've heard some of their stuff and I think

they're pretty fucking egregious. They deserve it. That's what I was about to say. They deserve to be the poster boys for that. He's a redneck who makes bad music. And these motherfuckers... But he's put out a couple good songs, like decent songs. And like, I think that there's something more to him. Like, Keith Urban fell in love with country music

in Australia, came to Nashville to do it. And he's talented. Like, these are the kinds of cats who started a band. Keith Urban and Brad Payton. Hazley are both awesome guitar players, too. And these guys probably are great musicians, but they literally would have done anything. Like, they would, right now, if Maroon 5, if Adam Levine died, and I don't know, like a car crash, let's not make it my fantasy. I fucking love Maroon 5, by the way. I actually like Adam Levine.

But if they were like, we need a new leader and they got one of them and the money was good, they'd fucking take it in a car. Of course they would. They clearly don't have integrity, which is... I'm not even saying they don't have integrity. I'm saying what they are is a pop star. Yes. and they can make it in country. It's the fucking, it's the Alan Jackson song.

Come live, they've gone country. Like, they were going to do something, and then they're like, shit, boys. You're not, you're not great. Like, in the pop world, you're not really that good enough, but in pop country, which is just, like, because Maroon 5 is gen.

I don't give a fuck when anybody says, it's good pop. That's good pop music. Those dudes ain't capable of doing Maroon 5 shit, but they can fucking do shitty pop country. That's certainly how I feel. I'm sure there are people who are fans that are completely disagree.

And I have zero doubt. I have zero doubt. I have zero doubt that they have some musical talent. So did I tell, did I, did I, he tweeted about him opening for him once. But he didn't like, that was a, he didn't know and they didn't know, that was a weird. They weren't famous. Right, yeah.

He said something about, yeah, you know, these cats open for me and then I see him, blah, blah, blah. You know, I don't, he was kind of railing against the culture. But like, did I say, I know I told you all about this, but I can't remember if I told it on the podcast or not about that Facebook page in Wayne County, the police. department or around there. Did I say that on here? I don't know. So like, real quick, just because it's relevant. Katie was showing me, telling me about this, like, Facebook account from a county PD,

a county police department. And it's not Waynesboro. It's a neighboring town, but it's a rural southern county police department and how they've got a Facebook account that's real funny. And she's telling me to this. And of course, I'm sitting there thinking, like, yeah, I bet. You're full of shit. Right.

Like literally nothing. thing about that is for me. Yeah. But then she shows, and as an example, she shows me a post they made about something about truck drivers driving too fast

through some area, and then they made a joke at the end of it. And it was fine, but it wasn't that good. So she shows me that, and I'm like, okay, this is about what I figured. But the top comment on it was a gif, a gift comment somebody posted, that was Florida, Georgia line,

like rocking out on top of a speeding 18 wheeler from one of their music videos so it was relevant in that way. It's a speeding 18 wheeler being reckless. But it's got Florida Georgia line on top of it and they just posted that GIF and nothing else. And the fucking Sheriff's Office account replied to that GIF with,

get that fucking trash off of this page. And that hit insanely hard for me. I was like, okay, you're right. We're here. They're cool. I'm cool with them. Yeah. Like,

but that shit just cracked me up so hard. But, uh, because yeah, it's not really, it's a definite divide. It's a cultural divide amongst our people. This whole thing with like where country music is concerned.

But it's not like a like political or any thing. You know what I mean? Like you'll find it's just, in my opinion, people that have good taste for country music and people that, you know, don't. Yeah.

To me. And people that have good taste for, okay. people that have good taste for country music, I know plenty of fucking conservatives from where I'm front that they know their shit. Me too, that's what I'm saying. And plenty of liberals that know their shit

and there is a divide between, however, I don't know too many liberals that fuck with Florida Georgia line because to me, a liberal, if a liberal is from the South, they got better taste. And if they're not from the South, they're not fucking with Florida Georgia line because that just ain't going to be. You know what I'm saying?

They're in the train. That second part ain't true, I don't think. If they're not from the... I'm saying a liberal from the... A liberal not from the... Like, the only... Like, people...

Right. I'm not saying there's not... It's train. I'm not saying there's not people... There's clearly people not from the South that fuck with Florida Georgia line because they sell tickets everywhere. I like me, Virginia.

I'm just saying, like, a liberal from somewhere else, usually, and that's half of what our tour's about, usually don't fuck with nothing to do with the South. You know what I'm saying? Right. And if they do, it'll be... What?

Who's the ban that the liberal from Connecticut is in? to that sucks. I don't think. But Maroon 5 don't suck, though. I don't think you can do that. They don't suck. I don't think you can do that

without a genre They don't suck. They don't suck. They don't suck. In my opinion. Vampire Weekend. Don't suck, buddy. Don't get me fucking star.

Well, that's what I'm saying. That's what that is. Maroon 5 puts out great pop songs. Are great musicians. That's part of what is so awful about them because their fucking shitty melodies get stuck in your goddamn head. I fucking hate that band.

And you'll play them and like, she'll look at me. She'll be, like, in the kitchen and, like, watching me. Wait on you to get my ass. And I'll just look up. And I don't know their music. It's not like I'm like, you're playing them again, goddammit. You just hear something shitty in your life.

Hey, what is this? And she just starts laughing. And she's like, Vampire Weekend. I'm like, it's fucking terrible. But, like, one of those dudes produced Daniel, not Torado. That's a goddamn comic. Daniel Romano's album. It's Flames.

The Daniel Romano album is so good. One of those, what dudes? One of the Vampire Weekend dude. Oh, dude. not Florida Georgia line. It is clear what you meant, but my head still interpreted it as one of the Florida Georgia Line guys, and I was like, what? Well, anyway, all I was saying, Corey, is I think for what they do, Florida Georgia Line

undeniably hits, for what they do. What I'm saying is... Sell tickets. They get number one hits. I think they might have won a goddamn grainy. Okay. All right. Let me back up for a second.

Maroon 5 has gotten so colossal, especially after Levine went on the voice. And like, so, yeah, I'm... Y'all ain't even brought up. the Super Bowl halftime show yet. I don't think we need to. I don't ever want to talk about the game, the halftime. And the thing is, like, my problem with the halftime wasn't, Maroon 5 had nothing to do with my problem with halftime.

It was that there wasn't enough Big Boy. If they'd let Big Boy do a couple more and then Maroon 5 did exactly what it was, they did, I've been like, okay, that's what goes on. So I feel like the point is like basically nothing about it hit. It wasn't great, frankly. With two drunk women from Michigan and an elevator when we were in San Francisco. Okay, they were about 55 years old. They were hammered.

their husbands were doing that quiet, well, they're on one, nothing we can do about it. They've had wine, we gave it to them, it was our mistake. And they're just watching them. And one of them was going, I thought Maroon 5 was great. And the other one going, was going, I just, she's like, you hate Adam Levine. And she goes, no, no, I just, and then I was kind of drunk enough to talk to strangers in an elevator, which you know is rare for me. And I just go, he was fine. But that's the problem.

Right. It's the Super Bowl. To me, why we got fine on there. For me. He was fine. And she goes, that's it.

And she high-fived me and then she fell out of that. They stayed doing that. I agree. I agree with that. And there's a reason for that. I agree with that. But like,

I also feel like I always take... Room 5's the Bob Seeger of our general. I always take Super Bowl halftime criticism with a grain of salt because like, I feel like it's one of the things we go into it. Everybody goes into it wanting to hate that shit, like for the most part. Especially if you're like, we've been comparing. everything to Prince's halftime show

and you just can't do that. And Rolling Stones back in that, you just, Michael Jackson, you just can't do that. So, like, I feel like everybody goes into it, wanting to hate it. Like, they did it with Kendra-Lamarr at the fucking college halftime show, like 100%. I thought, though, I'm saying

booking them was dumb. Like, I'm mad about that. I'm not really mad at 100%. Oh, no, see, that's not... That ain't dumb at all, in my opinion, because, like, the way I look at the booking process for those things is we're trying to get people that weren't going to watch the goddamn Super Bowl.

100% And Maroon 5 gets Because dude He's on the voice Like he's a colossal You're getting a lot of moms The halftime show is not for the football fans It's not at all

Because they're already there We're already there Well everybody's already there It's a cultural event They know Yeah they know that your wife's going to be watching That normally wouldn't watch football Because and then they're going to get the ads

Right afterwards So like that part I get when they go Why the fuck would they get this person To do the football That ain't football and football It's not supposed to be Right but still bring it You know still bring it

I get that part But, like, I didn't. My main grievance with that Super Bowl halftime is that I was promised Big Boy, and yes, I got Big Boy, but did we really? No. You know what I mean? Did we really? No, absolutely. So that's what I'm saying.

Like, if they let, if it was like more half and half or like Big Boys doing his thing, they let him do two more songs, Levine's in the back, I'm fucking fine with him. And they would start a duo called Half and Half. And they would hint. I guarantee it would rule. But that was my problem is there wasn't enough Big Boy. Maybe coffee with cream. You have again reminded me of another thing I wanted to talk about in the podcast this week. and we'll be wrapping up soon and go do this show.

Is it how good Elizabeth Cook is live? No, let's shout her out real quick. I saw her five years ago. It was fantastic. I doubt she'll listen to this and I was drunk and I actually feel bad about how I said this because as usual I came off probably really shitty. And I talked to Andy about it and she said no, but Annie's always supporting me when she may be or not. I told her, wow, you like, and I said, I don't mean I had low expectations.

I don't mean that like I like your music, I know your music and I love it. but you exceeded it. Like I had high expectations and you fucking exceeding. That's a compliment. I don't care. Buddy, it was spiritual. Dude.

That woman is a rich. She's the best way possible. What's the first thing I told you about when we met her? And I'd been a fan for a while because she opened up for Todd Snyder. So I fucked with her. And I told you all, when I saw her that first time, I didn't know who the fuck she was at all. She knew Elizabeth Cook's opening for Todd Snyder. She starts.

She's great. She's funny as shit. So she's telling stories. I'm immediately hooked. But I'm like, all right, cool. Funny. Good song. and then she fucking played heroin addict sister.

Did she play that at that show? She didn't. I don't, she didn't have to. She probably mostly knew stuff. I didn't, when we were on the podcast, I specifically,

I'm pretty sure I might have asked her off. I told her it was good. It might have been off Mike. I told her, yeah, but I told her it was good. Like, I didn't want to ask too much because it's one of those songs

that's so good and so personal that, like, I get that it has a shelf life. You know what I'm saying? Like, or there's certain months you can do it and there's certain months you can't do it. It also depends on how it turns out. Sure.

you know well that's what i'm saying like there's sometimes like uh oh brother gets out the pen i'll finally be able to joke right this is a great song and this week i'm really feeling it and i need to share it with the people but then like you got a bad week with your hair when i exit and you don't want to fucking play that shit and my point is when she played that shit like i was already enjoying it when she played that shit i started fucking crying i was like this girl's a real deal i've got to meet her one day and then five years later we got to be buddies and it's been fantastic but yeah dude she's unbelievably good well it was fucking spiritual in that place It was when them were like

The people who were there One of her openings was in foo fighters Chris Schifflett There were some people there I think for him Because of his fame with foo Who like they were kind of talking When she first started

And then they just shut the fuck up Trey what did I remind you of A young Dennis Hopper Yeah for the record We were just talking about Dennis Hopper Before you came in here Do you know that? Yeah I think I came in and I heard

He came at the end of it But yeah Elizabeth was I agree with you I mean I expected it to be good But yeah she fucking blew me completely away. She's amazing. But what I was going to say is, you said a minute ago about Adam Levine at the halftime show, and you

said, here's the problem with it. It wasn't bad, nothing like that, but it was just fine. And it's the Super Bowl. It should be more than fine. That is basically how I felt about Feathered Dinosaur? The game?

Bohemian Rhapsody, the movie. The movie's more than fine. It's more than a fine. Fine doesn't describe it. I think that movie should have been better than it was as a movie. I want to watch it. God damn it. Sorry. No, you're fine. Go ahead. All I want to say about it. I know the story.

You're not going to... Never mind. The movie ruled for me in the way that Michael Bay films rule for 14-year-olds, I think. It's not that, like, some of those 14-year-olds will always love Michael Bay. When they're 20, they'll be like, still love them. And some when they're 20, they'll be like, man, I really liked it when I was 14, but now I'm a grown-up or whatever. It just ruled from... I know there was plot hole points.

I know there was some shit where I was like... Like, what the fuck? The inn with his boyfriend? I was like, what, what are we? What? He's just on his way and he just, and now we're seeing his parents, but. See, I felt like they did a lot of that type of thing. It just ruled.

That's, because Queen rules and he, Remy, am I saying it right? If I may, let's not, let's Drew. No, no, no, no, no. Is it Rammy Mal? That's not even, that's not even what I'm getting out. Rame or Ramey. I'm in Queen songs and him crushing. Yes.

And to me, it's an eight because all that was a 12. Okay. I'm enjoying, because I've never seen the movie, but I read what critics said about it. I've heard what you said about it. And this is a rare, it's kind of like Drew with the dinosaurs. This is a rare, non-synic Drew, and I'm enjoying it, and I don't want to take him down.

I'm growing. You're going to watch it and just fucking hate it. You go smooth in on you fucking idiot. What's your problem? You won't hate it. It's a good movie. And here's another thing. They're all super cool, which is because Brian May was when the executive producers,

and you were talking about how that ain't really real. But, like, I used to have a joke about this and about how, like, YouTube's ruining rock gods and all that. I wanted my rock stars to be cool. Like, I know there were a lot of them were horrible people who did horrible things. Like, they do, I felt like they, everybody else in the band, but Freddie was portrayed and basically came across

as this, like, good American family man boy. You know why? Because they're alive. Right. Because they're involved. They've been trying to get this movie made for a lot. long fucking time. I get what you mean.

Maybe it was mostly Freddie. That's not all of it though for me. Like when they met their manager and he like, and it's fucking little finger. Yeah. And he flips that chair around. Little finger's the manager? Yeah.

And he flips that chair around being all cool. And then Freddie comes back. I'm like, buddy, this is not great writing, but I'm here for it. You know, man, like I thought about shit like that like where they're like, okay, so in the, in the, um, uh, oh my God, uh, fuck the NWA movie. Straight out of Compton. Yeah. Like, dude, and you know, those dudes are still alive too, had a heavy hand in that movie.

And, like, you're watching this shit and we're like, all right, Dre, we're not going to talk about the part where you threw a one. But I'm like, well, of course we're not. They had a heavy hand in making the movie. Like, Rebarns. Yeah, rebarns. Yeah. So, but anyways, like, you know, there's a certain point where like, you know, integrity, integrity. But like, you know, if they, let's say, and they're not never, this will never happen.

But they're making a well-read movie. And I'm still alive. And they're like, hey, we're going to show the scene where, oh, me, what I'm about to say, of me doing this. I guarantee, I'll be like, yeah, no, don't put that shit in. They're like, but it happened and it really serves a narrative. Eh, figure out another way. Like, just please don't put that shit in. That's all completely fine.

And again, I did think straight out of content was better. Yeah, I agree with that. I like that movie a lot. I liked and enjoyed the movie. It just wasn't. Queen fucking rules, dude. NWA, I mean, Freddie Mercury rules. NWA rules for me harder than Queen.

Freddie Merker is clearly better than everybody. Here's another thing I felt about what Corey just said a minute ago. about yeah well those guys are live and they had a hand in it so of course they did that and it makes sense i personally felt like a byproduct of that whole dynamic as far as that movie was concerned was that it had the added effect of making freddie kind of the like the villain in his own story or in his own movie the way that those guys were portrayed versus the way he was portrayed like he was like he was like i mean he did sign that solo deal and it was because he was like over then they never stopped recording though so how they did it

Easy E and he was a dead one. But I'm not shitting on the movie. I didn't come across. I didn't feel like he was the villain. I felt like he isolated himself partially because they were being dicks. Maybe because I knew they had a hand in it. Anytime there was a fight in my head, I was like, I bet they were way more responsible for that fight than that was just portrayed as.

You know what I'm saying? Right. But also I sort of felt like he was never completely a part of them in the first place and that that was a part of it because those two dudes were boys. there's another scene. When he gets the job, there ain't no way it happened like that. Not with those exact lines.

I didn't care. I was here for it. What do you mean? I didn't care about that part either. They lose their dude right at their frontman right after a show. He comes up and says, I'm a singer. They make fun of his teeth and are like, you can't sing.

You can't be the front man. Look at you. And he starts to leave. And then he turns around and starts singing. And then he says, I was born with extra incisers so I can hear. hit extra range and then starts to walk off and they're like can you play bass and he goes nope never will or whatever like yeah just too fucking fuck it if it's true that hits okay yeah fuck it and a cat

hey you heard ryan bingham story though that shit shit like that does happen from time to time i agree with that complete i had the same thought i was like there's no fucking way but this hits though and it is fine to do that in movies i felt like there was a shitload of those types of things that but that that added up to for me just like too much of it right and it was like okay man and for me like this is not We're 30 minutes in, and I've seen so many of those already. But it's fun. And I'm like, I'm here for the ride.

And also, this is kind of like not Bohemian Rhapsie, the song, but so many other Queen songs that, like, the actual lyrics are so, we will rock you. Right. And it's just, he's so good, it didn't matter. Right. Like, Bohmian Rhapsie is super deep. I know that. But, like, some of their songs are very, very pop arena rock. For sure.

But he's so goddamn good. Yeah, man, he just rules. Yeah. No, it's a good movie and it's entertaining. It's worth watching. The music does hit, the climax hit. Rammy Malick hits like a motherfucker as Freddy. I did not at all dislike the movie.

I just wanted it to be better than it was. What's her name? As a movie. Jessica Chastain? She's not in it. What's her name? I don't know. Isn't that the girl from Silver Lines Playbook?

Not Jennifer Lawrence. No, the other one who's in David O. Russell films. Not Silver Lining. She's in one set in the 70s. I don't know. I mean, that's Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams. That wasn't Amy Adams? In Bohemian Rhaps?

Yeah. I very don't hit at faces or names or life. I also don't hit if it makes you feel better. I'd have been just seen the goddamn movie. Well, luckily we have... The internet? No, I was going to say a show to do right now. Oh, yeah, cool.

Let's leave. Since we don't hit at all. I thought that it was Amy Adams, like, with a fake tooth or teeth, like with a little bit of buck tooth situation going on. You're talking about his lady. Mary? There's no way Trey wouldn't have known. who that.

Right. It wasn't her. Lucy Boynton. Which, because I remember not really like, like kind of recognizing her sort of, but not really. That's why, you know. But I don't recognize, no.

I mean, I don't watch a lot of movies. Not blockbusters for sure. I don't hit. But anyway, yeah, don't get me wrong. It hits and it's fun. It's a fun watch.

But like, it's nominated for like best picture and all this shit and like, I don't think that it's... That's because of him. I just think it rules. Right.

And fuck the people who don't think it rules. I don't think it deserves best film. Okay. I haven't seen any of the other nominations. Biopics. Bipics about dead people that hit always at least get a little bit more grace. Right.

And movies about Hollywood, like the Star is Born, anything like that, always is going to get like, well, this is about us. Well, that's another one, but we need to stop. When we were texting about it, I was like, it's not quite as good as Stratat-O-Compton, but it's close. But then I started thinking about Ali, and I was like, it's not anywhere near as good as fucking Ali was, dude. God, that movie's all right.

What about Walk the Line? Where was it on that? Here's what I think. I know why we're comparing them, and it's fair to. Because those are biopics. And also because of it's music. Also, Ray. But I really felt like this was the Michael Bay of biopics.

And that that was fine because it's queen. They're not dead yet. And they're fucking good. We will rock you, bro. They're goofy. The one thing that straight out of Compton didn't have that Ray, Ali, and Walt the line had were colossally insanely great actors that played the title role. that like Joaquin Phoenix dude like that

I need to go back and watch that movie because he, him and Reese Weatherspoon ruled so hard that it might have sucked and I just didn't know it, you know what I mean? You know what another thing too? When I texted you all that, because this all started podcast was just because I texted, fuck all these nerds, fuck everyone this movie rules. And then my nerd ass was like well I mean. And I was like fuck you, you nerd.

You just got mad that he said fuck nerds and you were like on behalf of nerds. Well, no, I genuinely feel that way about the movie nerd. Right, yeah. But also I had just got in watching it and that Wembley concert Yeah, live a... Dude, that live aid sequence is the shit, man. And he's...

And he's... He gets... I know he's won some awards. If he wins the Oscar, that's where he won it. And by the way, that was the first thing he shot. No shit. Yeah, that was the first fucking day of filming.

Well, I've... He came and did that scene. I haven't seen... Dude, buddy... I mean, you know how good the concert was. I've got... I've got it on DVD. The scene is the concert of...

Is that concert? All of it. I know. Some people said it's the greatest live performance of all time. Yeah, and I don't disagree. This scene is close to being that. So, I, um, I've... It's the Queen at Live Averson.

I've not seen, I've not seen this movie. However, I've seen so many clips of Remy. Ramie? It doesn't matter. I've seen a lot of clips of him doing it. And the movie could literally be a zero on Rotten Tomatoes. The best actor goes to the best actor goes to the best actor. actor and I don't see how you could do there's he's he's Freddie fucking Mercury so like when

you're going he acted like acting he is off the stage too I know we do but anyways the best the best actor in a movie when you're playing an original character is one thing but when you you're playing a dude that everybody knew you got to fucking nail it and that dude nailed the shit out of it so if he wins fuck the movie it don't matter anyways thank you all for listening to the well-read show we'd love to stick around now but we have to go Uh, tune in next week. If you got nothing to do. Right.
