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 you 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 any more, 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 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.
So cancel your unwanted subscriptions or reach your financial goals faster with Rocket
Money.

We got, this is some of the best stuff we've ever received.
I know we've only been doing it for three weeks, but it's getting better every time.
Sarah Wofford, at Sarah Wofford 42, huge friend of the podcast, huge friend of the tour, huge friend in general.
We've had beers.
She sent my dad a smoky boys grilling sewing circle.
If you don't know what a sewing circle is, it's those little like, it's a, well, it's a circle, and it's been sewed.
That's about it.
That's all you need to know.
And it has the Smokey Boys logo on it.
She got that for my dad along with a really nice get-well card because if you've been listening, you know, my dad was a little under the weather.
So Sarah, that really floored my dad.
You should have seen his face when he opened it.
That was very sweet.
And thank you very much.
We also from the band, Have Gun, Will Travel, Band out of Tampa, Florida.
We got their brand new album, Strange Chemistry.
I've been bumping it in my car for the past couple of days, and I really like it.
We've got the CD, and we got the vinyl situation.
So Have Gun Will Travels, brand new album, Strange Chemistry, get it wherever you get your records and streaming and downloads and whatever.
It's a great band.
I've really been enjoying it.
I don't know if, I mean, to me, this is a compliment, but I don't know if they'll take it this way if they're listening.
I felt that the record, it had, it reminded me a little bit of Sons of Bill.
and I like Sons of Bill a shit ton, so I think that's a compliment.
It's a little sons of billsy.
So pick up Strange Chemistry by Havegun, Will Travel.
We also got thank you cards from Dan in Texas, Sheila and Steve in Asheville, North Carolina,
and Misty and Brad in Buffalo, New York.
So thank you to everybody who's been participating in the well-read P.O. Box 240, Chickamauga, Georgia, 30707.
All right, fuck me talking.
Let's get on with the podcast.
This week, at this point, we've had several recurring guests, I guess, but there's no, this isn't even my opinion in saying this.
This is the fan favorite.
This is the one everybody wants.
These are the best episodes.
We have Skinny Bumpkin, aka DJ Lewis, on the podcast this week.
We sat down in my mama's guest house because that's where DJ and Drew have been living for the past week while they've been recording their brand new podcast into the abisket.
I sat down with them and did an episode of Into the Abisket,
and we also just did us a well-read podcast.
So I don't even have to tee this one up.
It's a DJ Lewis episode.
You know it's going to be great.
So without further ado, here's me, Drew and DJ and my mama's guesthouse.
Love you, and skew!
They're the big sex.
They care way too much, but don't give a fun.
Next step makes some people upset, but they got three big old dicks that you get.
And about kill me.
She made y'all move something.
Well, she asked us to come move something for her because she's going to paint it.
And she did paint it.
And then we moved it back into her closet.
Yeah, I could have told y'all before y'all got here that you would 100% be moving some type of furniture.
She said, make sure you tell Corey, because he'll laugh because he says, we wait until he gets home.
She says, she acknowledged that they now sometimes save things for you to do when you get home because of how mad it makes you.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it doesn't make me mad.
It's just raving.
I always, they don't understand.
understanding people don't understand my wife doesn't understand just because I point something
out no one understands me just because I point something out doesn't mean I'm mad at it
buddy who are you talking I know but like I'm just making an observation well I'm gonna remember you said
that okay all right actually that's fair but I'm saying like I won't even be yelling or nothing I'm just like I'll
just go oh yeah wait it you know oh course of course I get here and now we got something to do and
I'm like if it happens 10 times in a row what am I going to do not say some shit that's called
And no, I don't care.
I love my parents.
They did everything for me.
I'll help them move.
But, like, it's just, you know, I'll come home two weeks on the road.
I'm going to come by and see y'all.
Oh, great.
Hey, funny you mention it.
We had a goddamn old China cabinet that weighs 400 fucking pounds just in the garage.
Can you do it by yourself?
Well, Corey, you know, unlike you, I'm appreciative of what your parents have given me.
I'm staying in this guest house.
I open with I'm appreciative.
It's just that dad, dad decided.
It does look really good.
Your dad, you know, has had some issues.
Yeah, so he can't.
live shit.
He did immediately.
Everybody did immediately start talking about how
fat I was and that I was wearing.
Corey?
Dude, listen.
Corey, even your dad said,
are you wearing them pants because you've been gaining weight?
If anybody knows, the black sweat
pants game is my dad.
And he was telling like thumbs up.
He was telling like thumbs up.
Then he told a story.
Some friend he had who was older than him
who's since past who
he was like his buddy who was like 70
and like on his last leg or whatever.
and he used to drive him to the Lady Valls basketball games.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he was talking about this old boy saw your dad in some lady Valls
or some kind of pants and was like,
and was like, you reckon they got them in Lady Vals colors.
And you're definitely like, sure.
But, yeah, there's fat lesbians.
Yes.
It's almost exclusive in my experience.
That was shitty and not true.
I know. I set you up for a shitty thing, I'm sorry.
And then he took him to a UT ball game.
They stopped at them all and they got him some,
but this old boy was so fat.
Clarence.
he had to get like double XLs.
So Clarence was fat, but Clarence was also 5-2.
Yeah.
So he couldn't wear him that day because he was too long.
So he took to Taylor's right?
Next time he saw Clarence, Clarence took his lady ball jogging britches to a tailor.
Not an old me-mile.
You just said a fucking tailor.
No, Clarence had money.
Yeah.
And he's not.
He's him-d-up.
Well, yeah, he's your dad's friend.
And your dad's talking about Clarence's crotch came down to his fucking calves.
Yes.
Because anybody got him tailored off?
He's like, they would have hit me like shorts.
Uh-huh.
Your dad was telling us this while we were moving.
Uh, what is essentially, um, I forgot in the word.
What do they climb into in that, uh, story with the, ornia?
Wardrobe.
A wardrobe, yeah.
Mom got a wardrobe and she wanted to paint it.
She bought it used for $95.
She told me.
And it looks good, by the way.
It looks good.
And she painted it blue and it looks good.
It's like wicker with real wood.
And buddy.
Right.
Dude, it's fucking.
When we picked it up, I guarantee, there's no doubt.
Me and DJ started down a step.
We were going to sit it on some saw horses in your yard so she could paint.
so she could paint it.
When we started down the steps,
I got like a telegram from my back.
Yeah, yeah.
That was like, no.
Yeah, yeah.
Set it down.
No, right now.
So we had to go down real quick.
And then I just, I did the rotate.
I went over to DJ's side and pretend,
I was like, oh, let me get over here and show you.
And I was like, DJ, just fucking go over there and pick that up because I can't.
My back was fucking shot.
And so I had to put all the weight on my shoulders, you know, my large, very sculpted shoulders.
You are looking good for the record, if I may.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we.
And we carried it to the saw horse or whatever,
carried it back and then your mom started telling us about how
make sure you tell Corey we've done this to you because he'll think it's so funny
because he says we always do it to him and then she goes
but since he started saying that we have been doing it to him on purpose
yeah absolutely yeah of course she did and she's probably going to be furious that you told me this
even though i'm not going to bring it up i'm just never going to come over here again your dad might
dad may he's been listening to the podcast also i want to say this because dad may not
give you the visual on what clarence actually looked like i know he said it was a five two fat guy
but just for everything, Clarence looked like
if Regis Philbin
had a peanut allergy and ate a bunch
of peanuts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was that
type of short and squatty, you know what I'm saying?
He got stung by bees all over his body. They have really, though, had
the best thing like, Drake came over here. We went and played
with the dogs for a bunch of... Rees.
Yeah, we're, yeah, she's such a sweet little buddy.
So, we had...
Tell her about what we're doing. Oh, sorry, go ahead, DJ. I didn't mean to cut you up, baby.
I was just talking about dogs.
Go ahead. We came over here.
Oh, you got the shirt on.
why you said nice hat you yeah yeah yeah so uh shovels and rope that is yeah
corin hat matches dj's shirt everybody yeah yeah yeah remember we're on a podcast guys what
yeah yeah so anyway yeah so and dj also is no longer a visual medium
oh so you're dad dude literally everybody
listen i had maybe i was like oh dj them's the only pants that would fit you and then like
i heard dray do it but it's like we're the two people in his life who give him the most shit
and your dad.
Immediately.
Immediately.
It was like,
DJ,
you're wearing them pants
because it's,
those fit you better
now that you've gained
from weight.
Just immediately.
That's so fucking great.
But I told DJ,
I'm sincerely not
making fun of him
for being fat
because he's not at all.
No, he ain't fat.
He just weighs.
Corey.
He used to not weigh.
I don't know if you've hung out
with him
other than we've been
on the road with him
for more than like 10 hours.
When I tell you
this some bitch eats six meals a day,
that's it.
He eats six.
six meals.
Yeah, he's an addict.
It's been like chicken wings and beer all day.
He got here today at 11 a.m.
And he was like kind of dancing around.
And I was like, oh, he's had some beer.
I go, DJ, you got a little bit of a buzz going?
He's like, I've only had two beers.
He goes, I go, oh, yeah.
Did you eat though?
Is that why maybe you got an extra buzz?
Because he didn't eat?
He goes, yeah, I ate.
You know, I had some eggs and sausage.
And then some chicken wings on the way over here.
It was 10.30 a.m.
God damn, yeah, an addict.
Before you got here, he was like, man, you want to order a pizza?
Yeah.
Dude, with them sideburns in like too much, you're just going to be fat Elvis like a motherfucker.
Dude, I can't wait either.
I can't wait either.
And like, Drey hates it because what?
You know why we hated it?
We figured it out this morning.
I don't remember.
Jealousy.
Oh, that's right.
Drey hates that he, hold on, Dre's jealous of how much you eat.
No.
So, Jay hates that he's getting fat, but the reason that Drey, me, Dale, everyone is commenting on it is anyone who knows DJ knows that he has every right to eat.
He should eat.
Yeah.
He waited 35 years.
Yes, DJ is a person.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
He should eat extra.
He should.
He's got to make up for lost time.
35 years.
Yeah.
We all know that.
Yeah.
And so we recognize that what's happening right now is DJ gets to eat the way we all want to eat.
Yeah.
and not feel any smudge of shame of guilt.
Because he needs it.
His body needs it.
There's parts of his body that haven't got nutrients in decades.
Because it's trickled down fat anomics.
No, this is 100.
This all checks out.
It's the opposite of like when someone's like been in church their whole life and they've never drank,
never smoked, never done nothing.
Then they turn 25 and all of a sudden they decide to take a drug or whatever and they just go fucking off the rails.
That's him with food though, but it's good.
Instead of worrying about them, we're all feeling better.
Fuck yes, son, get that cassero.
He's like, y'all ever ate a peach?
And we're like, yes.
Yes, sweet.
So, we're all commenting on it.
Because some part of us all is jealous of what's happening with DJ right now.
Dude, 100% of it.
Transforming.
I feel like I was doing.
And also, let's face it, it don't matter what he looks like.
You know what I mean?
Like, let's get it out there.
There ain't nobody been like, I'll tell you what.
I like DJ 4. He got fat.
You know what I mean?
I will say Dre is the only one who might be concerned about that.
She's not a shallow person, but everybody wants to, you know.
No, again, though, can you imagine him gaining 40 pounds in Dre being like, well, I can't be with him anymore?
After everything she's been through, the whole time she's like, well, at least he had abs.
God damn.
I know they had tattoos that he drew on them, but he still had.
This is the veggie straw that broke the Campbell's bag.
Dude, she was on the podcast that we heard that she was out here last time.
We had Dre on.
All right.
Oh, dude.
That's what we were going to tell.
We are in the guest house of Casa Dela Forrester, which I think they like that except in Spanish.
Yeah, everything but the Mexican part, they were really into on that.
And I'm very sincere.
so grateful that they allowed us to come here.
I told your dad a while ago, and I'd stayed here before, but it had been a while,
and I forgot how perfect it was.
I told you, I was like, I'm going to stay in the guest house and record a podcast with DJ,
and Corey's going to help us out, and then you had to go out of town, which we're going to talk
about that in a minute.
And he was like, absolutely.
Last time he was on the road with us.
And, you know, he had...
I know, and he remembered it.
You have no idea how much my mind is blown.
Well, and then he had a...
We've talked about it, right?
Yeah, I talked about it on the podcast.
He had a little heart attack.
He had a heart attack.
and, you know, which what a dickhead thing for him to do to me, you know, like right before I was going to come here.
Tell it. Yeah.
And I didn't want to bother him or your mom.
I don't want to bring it back up. I already had this plane ticket. I was already doing it.
So me and DJ were looking into hotels or Airbnbs.
And then, and then, unlike your dad who was selfish in having a heart attack,
Amber's grandmother selflessly died so that I could stay in your house.
100%. God, I hope people are on board with this joke because it just sounds more and more.
I was sitting here thinking
I was like,
God damn,
I hope he's...
So I was like...
I maintained this is the truth.
I was like...
I was like, oh, Corey, I'll just stay...
That woman was a saint.
I'll just stay at your place,
which I did the night I got here, by the way.
And, uh,
because I got here late.
And then you didn't want me to do that because you're selfish.
No, that wasn't it.
Mom had already cleaned out here.
Right.
That's what I was...
It's all been a bit so far,
calling people who aren't selfish,
but right now...
Yeah, I wouldn't give it a fun.
What really happened is
turns out your dad remembered
yeah I dude
you have no idea
how blown it all
because like I
and your mom cleaned
which does make me feel bad
no no you shouldn't because it gave her a reason to
she was sick she goes
I'm so glad this happened
because I've been needing to clean out there for a while
hadn't had a reason
and then I had a reason to see a beer can
you know how southern women are
they just need a goddamn excuse to clean
yeah it's true
well and an and a thing
to distract herself with I guess
yeah yeah I am her son
so I feel like so bad
that
you know
they did all that
and so good
like you know
cared for or whatever
so anyway
they remembered
I got here
fucking look at these
slippers
they got you slippers
they got you slippers
there's a lufus
there's a lufus
there's a brand new
loof
there's plastic still on it
look at that
yeah she
she called me
and she goes
hey what is
what is Drew like
for snacks
and dry
I said don't get that
motherfucker
anything
and she's like
no Corey
I just when someone
stays in my house
I want to be like
the Martha
the Stewart of chicken.
Yeah, except for she ain't shit at the stock market.
Well, you can try to turn us into negative all you want, and I understand, because you had
to live through years of, it's your right to say whatever you want about that saint of a
woman.
I was really shitting on you.
There was Lecroy?
Yeah.
There was bananas.
I told her to get that.
There was fucking, he didn't have nothing to do with it.
He's trying to take credit.
Now, for the record, she probably would have landed on that.
But she said, what do you like?
And I said, well, he's, you know, he's kind of queer.
I have fucked up all those cookies over.
DJ had all the Milano cookies.
Which ever time I hear of Milano cookies,
I think it's racist.
No, that's Malato is racist.
You know what they were doing
because it's a chocolate and a vanilla.
Yeah, they knew.
Oh, yeah, they just put an N in there.
Yeah, that'll always do it.
You know what'll make this not sound racist?
A big old N.
They knew the letter R was off the table.
All right.
We've been recording a podcast that DJ,
Well, I've been kicking around in my head for a long time.
We did like a quote-unquote teaser episode of it once on our feed,
into the abysket where I talked to Trey about his dead dad.
But the concept has changed a lot in terms of what I'm going to do with the podcast since then,
but the theme has not at all.
DJ and I have spent all weekend drinking beers,
swimming in your parents' pool, moving very heavy furniture.
This is literally just my high school experience.
You know, so far.
Yes.
Yes, and then sitting in a room alone and talking about the void.
Yeah.
It's all there.
Did you all listen to a lot of disturbed and think it was the best thing you've ever heard?
No, no, we did listen to Dre Talk, and she is very disturbed, and I thought it was the best thing I've ever heard.
You heard of Lamb of God, my Lord.
We had her on an episode.
We've had people call in, so I guess to tease it out a little bit, and I don't know when it's going to come out.
It kind of depends on whether or not DJ and I can record cross-country.
If we can't, frankly, it's going to be a little while.
it'll probably be December before I put it out.
Well, there's programs.
Yeah, I feel like we could be in my day.
But programs, not a thing DJ likes very much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm having about it.
Program systems, things like that.
And I don't blame.
Rules.
But if we can figure that out, we will.
We'll put it out soon.
But we have people call in.
And we're doing what we're doing, Corey.
I'll just explain it to you.
And then hopefully people will get it.
And if they don't, they'll just have to listen.
It's kind of.
of a parody, although not really, we're basically pretending it's a parody of a morning radio show.
Sure.
DJ and I are the host of End of the Abisket, Hollerville's number one, morning, noon, and night, radio show on 1069.69.6969.
An imprint of Valholler, LLC.
Valholler, yes, we're doing fake commercials, which is where Valholler LLC came from.
When he had did it on the podcast, our podcast, that first time, it's because him and I had already discussed this concept, and he just, you know, of course, the first thing he said, yeah, baby,
like a place instead of burying you,
because we will bury some bitch,
they throw you parties.
And I'm like, yeah, you got it immediately.
This is incredible.
Yeah, we and Amber listened to that podcast
yesterday going on the road.
She goes, I want to hear some of y'all stuff.
One with DJ on it, we started listening to that.
And, dude, there was a line in there that I forgot about that killed me.
I was talking about how my granny, when we used to go to funeral,
she would always look at the dead person and go,
oh, they look just like themselves.
And I go, no, they don't.
And you go, yeah, I don't remember her eyes being so shut.
Anyways, go on with your pitch.
I'm sorry to derail you.
Well, no, I'm not doing a pitch.
I'm just going to explain it to you sincerely because I don't even know how to do the pitch.
Let me explain it to a fellow comedian.
So the commercials, most of the time, are callbacks.
So we do a segment for like 20 minutes and we say, all right, we're throwing it to a commercial break.
Yeah.
And then the commercial will be a callback to something we've already discussed.
Yeah, it hits.
And it puts less pressure on DJ and I as far as premises go.
and then more pressure as far as jokes.
Like, we've got to follow up the funny thing with a funnier thing.
So that's been a lot of fun.
And especially when it's not so funny.
Yeah, death.
Because we've had, yeah, death, anxiety.
Like, dude, people have really been, like, calling in,
calling in and, like, really laying their hearts out.
And I can't wait for folks to hear it.
It runs the gamut.
Yeah, dude, it really does.
It's, like, everything from, I got embarrassed one time at a talent show,
so it's kind of lighthearted.
A little bit of darkness, because the old poor old girl had a panic attack.
to during the middle of a talent show
yeah to my little puppy died
which is dark but then I hid in the woods
and shot my neighbor's truck
because of that
all the way to
fucking dead kids and dead parents
did shit like yeah really
that's been the call in stuff
and that's just that is hilarious
yeah yeah yeah well yeah well yeah yeah well yeah well yeah well I'll
tell you what
and that's just the fans you're talking about what me and DJ
no I can't even imagine yeah yeah we've been going there
but it's really been here
we revisited mason the butthole
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, cool.
I shared that story today.
Yeah, yeah.
I forgot I didn't tell y'all about the hot dog tray that started the entire.
He told it on ours, but he didn't tell it on well.
Go on.
Well, some bitch wouldn't give him a hot dog tray, and then I snapped.
And then I was just a huge fight, and I punched the police, and it was crazy.
They kicked him down a hallway, up some stairs, into the elevator.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They beat me all the way up, up the elevator, back down, and then went back up before they took me to the...
It was full circle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because he won't state hot-d-d-d-d-old.
Exactly.
Yeah, it was like an escape room for fat kids.
Just put them in an elevator.
All right.
I think that's really cool, man.
And one of the things that we've like, we keep on coming up to is like, man, these stories, they're like so real.
They're so awesome.
And like at the end of them, it's always like some bright, shining instance of an individual overcoming some.
We've been inspired, which I know is cheesy.
crazy, dude.
And honestly, you made a joke earlier about all those things being funny.
You know, yeah, like, hilarious, death, kids, all that.
But the truth is, you can make those funny.
Honestly, you know.
Yeah, Ricky Jervais does it on every single six-part show he does.
It's so hard to make inspiration funny unless you're making fun of someone for being
faking inspirational.
And we don't.
Like, it's like, it gets it in.
It's like, there's no jokes to make at this point, man.
Like, y'all are kicking ass.
And I think the theme that's emerged and I hope people get on board with it.
And I think some people, I think the people, I think the people,
either going to get it or they're not and i think the people who like it are going to love it that is
your brand buddy i think the people who like it are going to love it and the people you are the vienna
sausage of comedy it's like look if you like this shit by god it's your favorite fucking thing but
if you don't it's a barbecue on it man we can slather it well dude on that note being dj we've been
drinking all day and we were done recording and we had a little bit of a heart to heart and we got
emotional telling each other how we really felt about each other and like man when i first
come with any of the abisket i i liked the pun more than anything else sure that's how a lot of
great ideas start better southerner but i was like i am this dark creature i don't know what the
fuck the right phrasing is i'm i get obsessed over these dark things you know when i was eight year old
i started having panic attacks because broken heaven scared me yeah i think it's broken
broken not broke bitch there you and uh it's been both in my life but
trying to figure out how to do it.
Wanting to talk about these things, but put the comedic spin on it.
And then one day I was talking to DJ about the idea.
And he, I don't even know what he said to me.
I mean, it was probably something like, hell yeah, baby.
Like when your dog looks at you and you think about killing yourself.
I don't know.
I don't know what it was.
That'll do.
But I was like, oh, I need you.
Yeah.
No, but yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't want it.
Yeah.
But it feels so good.
Vienna sausage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Biana sausage, exactly.
Like the first time you got something put up your butt.
You didn't want it, but it felt good.
I'll tell you what, y'all, y'all, don't that yet?
I say, I can't do it.
I have a hemorrhoid.
Okay.
It just burns.
Wait, you can't put something, you have a constant hemroid?
It's called an external, what is it called?
A fissure.
Yeah, they don't hit.
They don't hit.
I don't know that mine is constant, but I know that I get one a lot because I just bleed out my ass.
Yep.
I'm not constantly bleeding.
Yeah.
But anytime you try to put something up my butt, I feel that.
Oh, yeah.
Anytime I try to put something up my butt, I feel it.
But the day you don't, that's what you need to worry.
Well, I meant I felt the fissure, but that's hilarious.
Right.
So it don't hit for me.
So I can't.
Go.
He's into it.
I've tried.
Go.
Because it's one of those things for me.
It's like enough people have told me that it hits.
Oh, there's no way it don't.
It does hit, but I can't do it.
Well, I'll tell you what.
It's for you.
Yeah, a lot more than it for her.
or our sheets.
What?
Something up your butt?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Pulled out the guy
that tapper on that motherfucker.
So that's basically what into the abyss is about shitting your sheets.
Yeah, that's,
and I felt way better.
Anyway.
Anyway.
Anyway, I wanted, I wanted to do it with DJ and,
man,
I don't know if it's just,
all the goodwill or moving furniture for your parents or what it is,
but I feel really good about it.
Man,
I feel so good.
It really surpasses all my expectations,
the calls we've had,
the people that we've talked to.
Everything about it has been better.
Well,
and something that I'm very proud of.
Well, hey, man, let's go back.
We did it a little bit on our podcast,
but it's not going to be out for months.
So who cares today?
You know, when I started comedy,
we always go back Corey when we talk about the beginnings of well red
like chain smoking on a porch talking about we could be not Larry the cable guy but
not David Cross and all that but let's go back to before that
you know what I mean before we met or when we first started meeting right you know
like when you wouldn't talk to me yeah you know um I mean I looked up to y'all and
yeah yeah yeah yeah uh no but I mean I do but like
as comedians,
y'all were like the funniest people in the area.
Me and Trey had just started
and like, look, I'm not trying to be a dick.
There's some exceptions.
Jeff Blank comes to mind.
But me and Trey were pretty much the funniest
fucking people.
Absolutely.
With some people who could challenge for that.
Grady Ray also comes to my...
Anyway, come down Chattanooga,
meet you guys.
That's the beginning of it.
DJ got the theme,
but didn't get the concept at all.
And he didn't say that, but I could tell.
And that's why I said to you, I'm not going to do a pitch, because I don't even know how to pitch it.
Sure.
I was like, yeah, it's like a parody of morning radio, but we're going to do commercial.
And he was like, oh, yeah, baby, you know, yeah, hell yeah.
But you could see it in his eyes.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
The sheer nothingness.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was like that time he got maced in the butthole.
Yeah, yeah.
It sounded like a good idea, but he was afraid it was going to hurt.
Exactly.
So, I think, like, episode two that we recorded, and who knows what order they're going to go in,
he was like, baby, we're making it.
and art.
Yeah.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he goes, not and all, man,
but it all ties together.
Like it's meta.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did, I did.
I ordered it out on it.
I was like, yeah, man, that's like the point.
And he goes, yeah, but like,
the commercials tie into the phone calls.
And the phone calls tie into the segments.
And we're giving people this space to like relieve this shit.
And I love space.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And space is my favorite mess, even though it scares me sometimes.
And we're going to talk about that.
And we're going to give people.
And I'm like, yeah, man, that was, that was my goal.
It's not just us.
It's not just us having a voice.
We're giving a voice to anybody.
It's so crazy because you don't realize, like, in these incidents,
like, this regular people that you might meet on Twitter, might see you on Facebook.
Did we have some, like, well-read fans call in?
Oh, yeah.
How would it not be?
Yeah.
Way Carwell called in.
And when Wade, yeah.
Went way.
Well, did he?
Buddy.
Yeah.
Can you believe it?
I know him better than me.
But he needs to have a podcast called Wadden in the Deep End.
God, dude.
That's somebody's brown.
Anyway, I don't want to, like, you know,
overstated it.
But go ahead.
Well, I was just saying these people, like,
we know that as humans,
we all are going through this human trial.
We're all doing this human thing,
this human journey,
and it's full of, like, all kind of weird shit.
You know what I'm saying?
And we're trying to, like, do the best of we can.
but you hear these stories he's absolutely and people are like saying no what they they've never
said anything about it they've never told us like oh man I've never talked about that you guys made me feel
calm and it's sloverho's said that yeah yeah and his is fine don't even yeah it's dark
oh but it's great it's uh you know how cool he is no I do know how cool he is and I've seen
way dark I've seen some stories he shared on Twitter that were hilarious but if you
like start peeling away the jokes that he did and just look at the baseline I'm like this boy's
got some darkness in him.
I mean,
there wasn't,
there weren't no jokes, man.
No, it wouldn't do it.
We're going to get a good joke out of that one.
And he gave us a...
Oh, yeah,
we got to call him back and be like,
look, this is the bit we're going to do
based upon this.
And he was like, buddy,
whatever you...
Here's what he said.
Whatever you got to do to make it digestible, son.
That's so fucking hilarious.
He's great.
All right, so anyway,
I don't want to overstate it
because now a party feels like
it's going to come out,
people can make, man, that sounds incredible
and it's going to come out and be like,
all right, well, whatever.
I still don't think in my mind, I still don't think they have any idea what the fuck's coming to.
No, because me and you are drunk as shit at noon.
What?
Trying to just find it.
Well, you know, it's art and there's commercials, but not really.
And you guys get it.
There's arts that's a radio show and then there's commercials.
DJ.
You are beautiful.
At the end of the month.
Beautiful.
So.
26th.
27th.
What?
Lexington?
Yeah.
Can you come?
Yeah.
Can you be there for that weekend?
Sure, of course.
I'm driving.
So you just ride up a man.
Right up with Corey.
So you do the show with us that weekend as our special guests.
We're announcing it right now on the well-ragged podcast.
If you're listening from Kentucky, DJ, DJ-Lewis, that's what I've been calling him.
Dr. D-J-D-J-D-J-Gal.
Skinny bumpkin, not fat bumpkin.
Oh, you've got to change your name.
I believe that.
Plumpy Dumplis.
Skinny Pumpkin's alter ego plump dumpling is going to be with us in Lexington.
And what we're going to do is we're going to take more calls.
We'll announce it on End of the Abisket.
that's I-N-T-O-T-H-E-A-B-I-S-C-U-I-T,
into the Abisket on Twitter at End of the Abisket.
We'll announce it there.
What topics we're going to cover.
We're going to have people call in while we're in Lexington.
That'd be fire.
It'd be fire.
One thing, and I'm sorry, my mind just went here.
We were thinking about musical.
Have you heard Chris's beat?
Chris Robertson?
Yeah.
Hell yeah, man.
Oh, my fucking God.
Sorry.
No, no.
That just happened.
We were a weird thing about music.
Have you heard what?
I mean, have you heard the rap,
Put to them.
God.
Yeah, did you listen to Dance with Scissors?
Yes.
That's my anthem, man.
I don't even know what to do with it.
No, I'm like, he was asking me, it was like, you know, you want to jump on these tracks.
And I'm like, man, I don't want to embarrass myself anymore.
Yeah, that's what I said when he's like, dude, that is so fucking, I think we should put Chris on.
Let's put, put dance with scissors out on this.
Can we do it on this episode?
I'll ask him because, you know, Chris can be, I mean, I'm, I know he's proud of it.
Well, fuck him.
Do it anyway.
You know, I'm going to ask him just in case.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Sorry, I don't know why that just jumped in my head.
No, man.
I was listening to it actually earlier.
I mean, apparently because we need him on Into the Abisket and the Will Red Party.
He would be a great into the Abisket guest, I'm sure.
Dude, I guarantee that.
I've done Ashton with that some bitch.
Listen.
No, I mean, if anybody...
No, he's doing great work and the motherfucker can do it.
Dude, the motherfucker's doing what he needs to do.
What about how, like, when you're a comedian and you hang out with comedians, you just get used to being able to...
Not even being able.
Like, it's not even like it's necessarily a privilege.
What I'm getting at is I was like, yeah, Chris, I've done acid with that motherfucker
fucker and then I'm like, yeah, yeah, I probably shouldn't say that.
Yeah, yeah, no, for sure.
Yeah.
Well, the problem is that we keep forgetting that there are people that listen to our bullshit.
Because, like, for so long, that just was not the case.
Yeah, no one at all.
We wanted them to, but nobody was.
And now we still act like that.
And then we're like, oh, shit, you heard that.
All right.
That brings up a question.
Go ahead.
No, I say that, that really makes me scared about some of the things that we go into.
It's like people listening to some of things.
It's kind of fearful.
Do not think about that or it will fuck us up.
Ruin me.
All right.
Well, because we just have to,
that's another thing about recording so many episodes before we put it out.
Yeah.
We don't have to think about really who's listening.
You know what I mean?
We don't have to get in our head too much about it because we're not getting that feedback.
That feedback's going to start coming in, but we've already got 10 episodes.
We're doing the damn thing, you know?
Oh, damn.
What I wanted to ask you.
You know, 10?
We've got close.
We've done eight, I think.
We're going to try to get to...
Well, I'm only going to get one more, I think, for this weekend.
I'd like to get two or three in Lexington.
I know we're going to have a lot of more stuff to do.
Take some more phone calls, you know, and really, really get it done.
And by the way, if we can do that, fuck it.
I'll start putting it out in the middle of October.
Fuck it.
We're putting it out October 15-ish.
There you go.
There we go.
Middle of fall, which is my favorite fucking time of the year in East Tennessee.
It's a middle of fall.
Middle of October.
Dude, it's unbelievable.
It starts to get chilly.
The dark beers are hitting harder when it starts to get chilly.
There's the smell in there that makes me horny.
I can't describe it.
It's been getting hot here during the day or whatever,
but there's been some mornings where you wake up and you can feel fall coming.
And we just cut our yard last week and I got up in the morning and it was like the do was happening and it was like a little chilly.
And it smelled.
It smelled just like football.
You know what I mean?
I felt like I could start.
I literally, I don't know if this ever happens to you, but like when I smell that grass,
the memory of the scent of my shoulder pads enters my head and I can smell the fieldhouse and it's the weirdest fucking thing.
And I get so goddamn jazz for college football.
So jazz for everything about fall in the south because as you said, it is the, oh, it's the fucking best.
Bonfires, titties.
I was telling DJ the other day.
I played football from four to like 20.
We're going to pay me.
Maybe 21.
Yeah.
And sometimes, you know, you and Trey really vibe out or geek out on football season and sometimes I'm super with it.
And sometimes I'm like over it because I played.
for so long and I played for longer than you and him and all you know it's like I got over it maybe
and that culture especially college football culture I used to do jokes about it was such a gnarly
thing the smell is the one thing that will never be ruined oh it's so good the smell of the fall
and the cut grass and making me think about football nothing can taint that memory I don't care how
many times people on the college football team you know called me a faggot because I was a liberal
or whatever it's not I'm not gay so it didn't like hurt my feelings it was just that was their way of
me but that culture's toxic and football's weird and blah blah blah nothing will ever ruin the
smell no the smell is absolutely fantastic but also like i won't say panic attacks but uh sometimes
when i smell it i genuinely get so lost in the smell that i feel like i'm about to have to
suit up and go to practice and i get like a i still i still have nightmares about forgetting plays word
i have uh i don't have nightmares about forgetting plays but i have nightmares about waking up
and my mom being like coach mac just called you just missed workouts he's on his way over here and i'm
like thing kind of thing right i'm just like fuck oh my god i got you're worried about missing workout i'm
worried about fucking the play up but it's still the same kind of anxiety absolutely um what i wanted
to ask you we were talking about you said we forget sometimes people are actually listening
you were just in iowa we'll get into why you're in iowa if you want to i'm curious if you're in
laws or your family.
Has anyone
brought up anything
you've said on stage or on the podcast
to you as far
as
mind control.
ESP?
No.
Only my wife.
Okay.
But only because
and I didn't know
she has a teacher
at her school
that she didn't realize
until a couple weeks ago
was a fan of ours.
Right.
And the weird thing is
he's not a new
fan. He's been listening to our podcast for like a year
and a half. She didn't tell her. And just hasn't
told her yet. And she
texts me and she's like, what the fuck
have you been saying about me on the podcast? And I was like
nothing incriminating, I don't think. Yeah, it's legal to
drink. Yeah. And so we went through that whole thing and I was like, why don't you
just ask him? And he's like, no, no, no, absolutely. I just talk about you and whatever.
And she's like, okay, thank God. And I'm like, you don't, you know,
I wouldn't ever say. Did you message that guy? No, no,
absolutely not. Well, that guy is smart enough.
Listen, you've never said anything horrible.
He likes us and therefore likes her.
She's very likable.
First off, let me say this, for the record.
Amber doesn't do anything incriminating
that would jeopardize her job
because she is a saint and a great person.
Incriminating and jeopardize your job
are two very different.
Well, that's true.
Thresholds?
Was he fangirling out because she was Amber?
No, no, no.
He's known her before.
He's been listening for a year and a half working with her.
They've been friends and he just brought it up to her.
Oh, by the way, you know, I'll listen to your husband's podcast.
All right, so here's one.
Not at all.
He ain't even tried.
to meet mine.
Well, that's how much of a nothing that that is.
I realize that that would make a person paranoid,
but it would just be like kind of like...
All right, right.
But anyways, no, I don't think...
I haven't had anybody say like, hey, man,
you shouldn't have fucking said that.
So here's one, and this is mostly in my head, I think,
but it might not be, and this is very intriguing.
We put our album out.
A good time starts with a great wardrobe.
Next stop, J.C. Penny.
Family get-togethers to fancy occasions,
wedding season two.
We do it all in style.
dresses, suiting, and plenty of color to play with.

Oh, and thereabouts for kids.
Super cute and extra affordable.
Check out the latest in store, and we're never short on options at jCP.com.
All dressed up everywhere to go.
JCPenny.
In October?
Yep.
At the very end...
Well, no, we recorded it last October.
It came out in March.
It came out in March.
I don't fucking know.
Yeah.
At the very end of my sense...
I tell a story.

I've been using modern CBD for about three to four weeks now, and when I tell you that I'm a different person,
I really wish that my wife was here to attest to it because I'm not a mean guy.
I'm not an angry guy, but I am a very, I can be intense and I get stressed out very, very,
easily and I have anxiety.
And since I've been taking modern CBD, that's MDRNCB.com, ever since I've been taking modern
CBD, there are just, I noticed throughout the day there's things that I'm like, man, I usually
would have absolutely lost my mind about that or freaked out over that very simple, stupid
thing.
And I'm just not doing it.
I'm a much more calm person.
I'm sleeping great, which I'll be honest with you, that may have something, that may
have most to do with it right there.
I'm sleeping throughout the night.
I'm getting eight hours of sleep.
I'm laying down and I'm actually able to fall asleep instead of tossing and turning and thinking about all the horrible things and getting lost in the void.
I'm actually able to just drift off.
It's tremendous.
We've got gummies.
There's the oils.
We have pet products for my little buddy who has anxiety also and he's able to calm down.

The story is about going to a Christmas play,
trying to get out of going to the Christmas play with my family.
So we escaped to Andy's house, like,
oh, we've got to go here for the holidays,
and then we get there and they're going to a goddamn,
Christmas play.
Just like, they're so ubiquitous.
Can't get out of you.
And in real life, DJ,
this dude I know
who is married to a girl, Andy and I went to
college with, real cool guy,
he has a band, he has a music festival
he runs in that town that Andy's done.
Any cool guy has a band.
Sure. He has a music festival that he started
in the town that Andy grew up in that Andy
has played. He does sound
for the church.
And it wasn't church now. They just have the
he's hammered drunk
and he was hammered drunk the year before
good for him
in the church yeah
when I first started writing
how else are you going to do that
yeah when I first started writing the joke
he tried to get me to go get drunk with him in the parking
line and drink more
you were like no
that's a different drunk ain't it
yes church parking lot drunk god damn
and when I first started writing the joke
I was talking about how
like the joke was like
this is a trap you know I was raised
Baptist like somebody's trying to offer you booze
in the way in that's a trap
Baptists don't drink till after church when no other Baptists are around.
Exactly.
There's some Methodist shit right here.
Wait, wait, wait.
So I'm not used to.
So you were citing against the Baptist?
I'm not siding against.
You were like, you're not a Baptist.
You're not like me.
I'm not siding against everyone.
I'm saying that against.
Because that's how I would follow it.
That's what it sounds like.
It's like you're saying you're like not one of us.
No, I'm clearly be like how we go.
To a tribal place and I love it.
I'm not saying.
How many other drugs do you have in that car?
Yeah, because we're going to need all of them.
to get to this play.
Right.
Probably should have taken that mentality.
We're going to need all them to get through this play.
Yeah.
But the joke, and I didn't do any of this.
But you're a Methodist.
Get out of here.
They're Presbyterian.
I didn't do anything.
I was, but what I'm saying is,
just as a joke,
it was,
this dude's trying to trap me.
I know this game.
They'll invite him to the parking lot to drink,
then you get them out there,
and you're going to proselytize to him,
trying to save a soul or whatever.
You know, fuck that.
Is that a game that goes on in Sunbright?
Hold on.
Yeah.
I've never heard of that game.
DJ, do you know how jerks work?
You just make shit up.
I know a motherfucker that comes up.
I know a motherfucker that comes up and says,
hey,
let's get fucked up in the parking lot before the service.
It's a motherfucker who's trying to get fucked up before the service.
Right, right.
I know.
Me too.
Open and showcase.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, me too, DJ.
This is just a joke about the difference.
Oh, you were joking.
Yeah, I'm talking about a joke I wrote.
Right.
So anyway, DJ.
DJ
Sorry, I thought you were like Europe
I thought you married that for real
No, I went to the parking lot with him
And had a shot
What are you, Wesleyan?
Shut the fuck up!
This feels like church
This is the church of red ass
And I have been found to be in sin
Thou shalt not deny
Booz
No one was Methodist
I was raised Baptist
He was Presbyterian
in the real world, he said, do you want to go have a drink?
And I said, fuck yes, and we went and had a drink.
But when I told a joke about it, I just made a comment about how, is this a dude trapping me?
Because I'm used to Baptist who might tell me.
That was it.
But then I started telling a joke like that.
And I'm like, it might get on an album.
And I didn't want to put him on blast on the album.
Everybody in my family would know who it was.
And I didn't want to be like coming across like this dude's getting drunk at church.
Or put him, you know, they might judge that.
No, I feel that 100%.
So I decided to change it.
But I still wanted to talk about being fucked up at church.
Right.
So I said I was high at church.
I wasn't high at church that night, but I've been high at church once before.
So I blended the story of being high at church once before with the story of being there that night.
And the story that night, DJ, just to catch you up, is my niece came in with a baby on her hip and she was laid.
I heard that.
Yeah, so you know all that, right?
Yeah.
So I pretend to be high.
Got that.
So I pretend to be high in the story, in my opinion,
or from where I'm coming from, to like save this dude some embarrassment
or not to cause problems.
I know, I know the joke.
This is probably, hold on, shut the fuck up.
Boy, y'all have been together all weekend.
I ain't never seen y'all talk to each other like this.
This is hitting for me.
It's probably a coincidence.
No one on that side of the family has.
called me since that album came out.
Word.
Not on my birthday.
Oh, shit, buddy.
And I'm not upset by that.
Like, whatever, but I feel like they think I get high at church.
Do they normally call you on your birthday and everything?
A couple of them do.
Or text me.
And maybe they mess to me on Facebook and I missed it.
Now, I've been home once since then.
It didn't feel tense or awkward.
But, you know, they're Presbyter's.
Good for you.
They're very good at, you know.
Yeah, how did that?
How did you get it?
Dude, I can't believe you don't let, you don't think that I,
Or you were just explaining that to the listeners
If they have to see him
He was so
Mad at me
No he wasn't mad
He was so upset that you thought he didn't listen to the album
Yeah yeah yeah yeah upset mad yeah he doesn't have mad
That's true
He gets slightly perturbed and red up
He was hurt
No yeah he was hurt
I was hurt
I was for the listeners
I've genuinely never seen you mad
Now let me say this
I've not seen you fired the fuck up
Yeah
But I wouldn't
But you were never
it's weird that's weird
I've known you for a long time
happy about violence
I've seen you
violent and you aren't mad
I know it
you were just violent
you weren't mad
you were just like look
some shit's going on
I'm gonna fuck it up
but I'm happy to be here
I was gonna stab my fuck over
Matt
Mitchell one night
couldn't have been
couldn't have been happier
about it
is a New Year's Eve
I was like here we go
that's what I'm referring to
like you were extremely violent
and got shit done
but there wasn't nothing mad to you
you didn't know the story
you were just like
we got to go
this done and here I'm gonna get this individual up out of here as soon as possible.
Do you think it's in my head?
What?
I would, I mean, okay.
If you were anyone but you, I would just go, ah, it's in your head, buddy.
But like, I don't know if they normally call you and now they don't.
This only happened one time.
What do you mean?
What special about me?
Wait, ha, you haven't checked your Facebook for messages, for happy birthday messages from these people who might have just been like...
What's special about you, by the way, is that you're my friend.
In my message.
I'm in on my wall.
Yeah, yeah, on your wall.
I don't know if they wrote it on my wall.
I didn't check my wall.
There's just a lot.
You know, there's like 300 people say it on your wall.
So, and you didn't even like it.
So they're,
there might be some tension.
I like the few, but I'm saying I might have missed it.
But nothing from your family.
So you might have missed the ones from your family who's in it.
I don't think it was there.
Which is fine.
This isn't about me,
but I'm just wondering,
I'm wondering if they're offended that I got high at their church services.
Do you know that they heard the album?
Here's why I think they did.
The story is about one of them.
And she's cool.
She loves it.
I mean, I talk to her.
I'm going to put this story about you coming in late,
and she thinks it's the greatest fucking thing in the world.
That's my niece.
Jesse, shout out.
You.
I wonder, I think they may have heard it only because they heard there was a story about Jesse and their church.
Or she retold it.
I also shit on their preacher, but.
Ooh.
That would do it.
No.
They hated the preacher.
Okay.
They claim it's because she's a Yankee.
I think it's because she's a she.
A she?
She?
I'm about saying, Lord God, Mary, Mary, Delade over here.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that was, you know, definitely.
And, you know, I called her a, what are they, a block of cheese.
But either way, she's, she's a Yankee.
His guy, it's just like, there's not even, people aren't even listening.
Speaking of a block of cheese with hair.
Speaking of she being a she, we were at the funeral.
We were at the funeral this week in Iowa.
Okay, did it even?
Yeah, you, yeah.
Could the funeral be the wrong time to bring it up to you?
Have your in-laws brought anything up to you?
No, but here's.
What about your family?
They haven't, like, but my in-laws, okay.
Well, you know, Amber's great.
Grandma, she keeps up with all the stuff that we do,
but the only thing she ever comments on is that she doesn't like my mustache.
That's literally it.
Like every,
she'll comment on stuff.
Amber will be like,
because I don't check my Facebook,
but Amber will put up pictures of us and she'll just be like,
I just wish Corey would shave that mustache on every fucking picture.
I just wish Corey would shave that mustache.
But other than that,
that was actually what I was kind of getting at,
that Iowa people,
even though they all go to church,
they're all like Catholic and Lutheran type,
which is very different.
Baptist, I guess.
I mean, well, no, it just 100% is.
So we're at the funeral, and it was like kind of a
Catholic funeral, Catholic light-ish,
and everybody was there, and then
a woman goes up, and she's the preacher.
And now, I'll preface it by saying,
I obviously don't have a problem with that.
I don't think anybody should be preachers, I guess.
I don't like religion, but like...
What was the religion exactly? I think the grandma
was Lutheran, but she did say stuff about
the Catholic church, but there wasn't no, like, stand-up.
I mean, the Lutherans was the first people
to say, fuck you to the Catholic. Martin Luther was
the guy who did that.
Yeah.
Well, that's why...
But that doesn't mean
they're not Catholic.
Amber...
I'm just confused
because Catholics
aren't allowed to have
women's right.
Well, all I know is
Amber said this isn't a Catholic
service, but she
said something she goes
and in the,
and she was Irish,
and she's like,
and into Catholic faith,
yada, yada, yada.
But then everything else
wasn't super Catholic.
Yeah, I don't know if that's good,
but that's all I have.
Into Catholic faith.
No, that's pretty good.
I feel like...
How hard did that hit?
I mean, it is all right.
I want to start a religion
where the preachers are the people
who can do the best accents.
My point is, is that whenever there was a woman got up there to talk in a church for a funeral,
I just wasn't used to it because we don't have that shit around here.
And I looked around and nobody's bat in a goddamn eye.
Nobody said a fuck.
I was expecting some people to say some shit just because of my conditioning.
I was expecting there at least to be one old boy, just be like,
that funeral would have been a lot better if they had a goddamn man's break out.
Right, right, right, right, right.
My point being, there's all that.
Amber's grandpa, who is the widower now, he lives on a farm.
in Iowa. He was, worked for the
post office, yada, y'all. Huge Obama
fan. It was the first thing that me and him ever
connected on. And the rest of the family
is very apolitical.
And, you know, I say
that, like, used to apolitical I thought was the greatest
thing in the world. I was like, oh, that's how you should
be, just like, don't give a fuck about anything. The more
I get older and the more we progress, I'm like, yeah,
the only people I know who are
apolitical are just white people who it
don't matter to. So, that...
Why people who have a comfortable situation in life? 100%.
Or are people so goddamn poor,
But in Iowa, that seems like such a big deal.
That's what I'm saying is like...
To be, especially in Iowa.
Because trust me, there are...
That's ground zero.
Yeah, right.
I saw plenty of Trump signs everywhere else.
But like, so I said all that to say this.
Her in-laws are either her grandpa who loved Obama and thinks Trump's a goddamn clown,
or they don't give a fuck about none of that.
So like, I don't think I, there's anything I could say other than if I went up and did a joke, like,
disparaging Amber or like, you know what I'm saying?
If I did something personal, but I don't have any of that, really.
So, no, I don't ever worry about getting blowback from them on, like, politics or how I feel about gay people or nothing like that, so no.
Well, that particular joke was a worry for me because of the social context.
I'm making fun of the liberal.
How much would it be worse if they agree with you on your politics, but just thought your jokes suck?
That'd be so much worse.
Dude, it would be so terrible.
No, I hear you Trump sucks, but man.
That structure was shit.
You hate that one up.
God damn.
If I'm completely honest, I've never worried about that.
but, hey, oh, there it goes.
But, um, no, like the social context of it, yes.
But then also there, I mixed it with some personal,
because Jesse was, you know, my niece was involved in the joke and blah, blah, blah.
And look, I'm probably, it's probably, dude, honestly, they just don't think about me.
Like, that's the truth.
They didn't listen to my fucking album.
Right.
They didn't think about me on my birthday.
Not in a shitty way.
Like, I just didn't come up.
And when they do see me, they'll hug my neck and not give a fuck.
That's the truth.
But I'm just wondering if maybe, you know,
blah blah blah.
No, I mean, it's probably a coincidence.
But I also don't know them.
Yeah, exactly.
It's hard to say that because motherfuckers will.
Like, some folks will.
Yeah, they will cut it off.
Do you think about that when you're writing jokes or doing podcasts?
And should you?
Buddy, I cannot control what comes out of my mouth.
Okay, should you care or worry?
I would not be able to do that.
Do you think I'm right to ask slobber hose, his permission?
No.
to make a make a joke to what we're doing what we're doing anything yes and now i'm talking about
well now if they call in at that point okay you know that you're doing calling into a podcast and that's
going on so you're like giving permission kind of yeah but what we're doing my niece if she was cool
with the story should i have done that or cared if you yeah you should have well i won't say should have
i'm not i don't want to be the moral authority on it but my opinion on that has changed over the
years kind of when i got married i guess and just grew up a little used to i'd just
genuinely thought I was like, no, whatever, if I can make art out of something or any story,
if it's for that, like it doesn't matter.
My entire life.
And anything, anything that said around me from my family, I'm allowed to take that
because that's what it is.
And sorry, you know, if you don't want to hang out of me, don't hang out with me or maybe
keep your fucking mouth shut because it's going to wind up.
But like now, I'll think of a, like, I'll have a funny thing.
I'll start writing it about something Amber did.
And I'll be like, hey, is this okay?
And she's like, no, that's fine.
but I maybe, and as soon as she gives me the, I'm like,
we don't have to talk it through it.
If you felt a little uneasy about it, fuck it, I won't do it.
Unless it's a banger.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
In which case, I'll fight for it.
Exactly.
You got to fight for your job.
Well, how about you let me tell it first?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, it's so funny because Andy,
um, first of all, she supports art.
So let me give the positive spin.
She supports art because she is an artist so much that she doesn't care or tries not to care.
But then also, she just likes attention.
The fact that the jokes about her, you know,
I mean, of course you could take that.
Even if she's the villain.
Yeah.
Even if she's the villain, she's like, yeah.
Yeah.
There's a part of that joke on the album that is an observation I made about the way those Christmas plays break down in terms of what kids are going to be what roles.
That.
Was it fat shepherds?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you gave away the lead there.
Oh, I didn't know you were actually going into it.
I thought you weren't.
My bad.
I totally.
My bad.
And it wasn't.
You skipped over it like you weren't going to describe it.
It wasn't about a specific person.
It was about that general observation, but that affected specific people in my life.
So I tried to like massage that and I didn't talk to that person about it.
Got a lot of fat shepherds on that side of the family.
My thing there was I hope that person doesn't ever think about it being about them.
Sure.
Because I was trying to make fun of people doing that because it's shitty.
Make all the little blonde pretty kids angels.
What a fucking shitty thing to do.
Yeah, we always had a lot.
of Walmarns was the Angels and then all the, uh, all the younger kids.
Wait, what am I talking about?
I was in one play.
Never mind.
Now, for the record, I barely even remember that.
I was in one play.
The donkey talked, literally.
I think as long as you change the person's name, it really don't matter.
And the reason I think that...
I didn't say anybody's name.
No, I'm just saying, I'm going back on what I had said before.
Now, obviously, I can't just say my wife, Deborah, you know, but like, if I'm telling
a story, and I do tell a story in my act that was pretty...
I mean, obviously, I embellish.
It's a joke.
Like, the beats happened, you know.
And now that I think about it, I literally use both of their correct names,
and I'm just going to change that.
But, like, if I didn't put their names out there,
then no new people could know who I'm talking about,
and the only people who would know what I'm talking about
were already there to see the fucking thing anyway.
Right.
So, like, hell, at least now you're getting it with a bow on it.
Right.
Well, that's a weird thing about bait.
But when we go in and talking about this,
we're talking about jokes and, like, having to explain, like,
It's a weird thing to be a low, like when you're doing just local jokes and you're just doing like where you, you ever have that thing where you're like you've got like a local material?
And I don't know, this has had a problem with doing jokes about Chickamauga.
Yeah.
And then traveling and be up in like Minnesota or something like that.
Yeah, you just can't do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's my joke about Chickamauga.
I have to, the first two minutes is just painting this little world.
But at this point in time, everybody knows exactly what.
where, but they know you and they know you
this. By the time I do the civil war
town. Right, by the time I do the Civil War joke
after that, I could say anything I wanted about
Chickamauga, even if it was inside baseball and they'd be like,
yeah, we get it. That's a big thing in New York
with like subway jokes, but I just kind of
was like, those jokes
are only for New York, I just knew that going in.
I don't want to get, personally, I don't want to get too inside
baseball and comedy. I want to know
how the funeral was.
Oh, you. This is a weird question. Even that question
is weird. People go, how is the funeral?
No, no, I know.
Fucking, somebody was dead.
No, I know what you mean.
Well, first off, I'll be very candid in saying
Amber, Amber and her grandmother were as close
as you can be with someone who has lived in Iowa
and you've lived here your entire life.
Sure.
She saw her, you know, twice a year.
And by the way, I'm not taking away from her grief even a little bit.
Her goddamn grandmother died.
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I guess it was, she was able to handle it a little bit differently than me
when my grandmother died because I was with her every day, yada, yada, yada.
granted my grandmother was 96 years old so I'd had more time to prepare for it her grandmother was only 72
wow very wow and I didn't really I'd never really process that because in my world the only grandmother
I ever knew really was 68 when I was born right you know so like all I when I hear grandma I'm like
oh yeah they old whatever I don't even look at I don't see age you know what I mean so when I got up there
and realized she was 72 it
made my heartbreak even more and for Amber because I look at my grandmother who died at 96
and I was like, man, how much life? Like, when you're a kid, you always think of 72, you're like,
she had cancer and she'd had it a couple years ago and then it came back and you know the old
that it's when it comes back. It shows up with its buddies.
Sure, sure. When I found out she was 72 and I started processing all that and I was like,
man, how much more life she had? Because 72 used to be just like, if I heard a 72 year old died,
I was like, yeah, what did you expect?
You know, they lived a good life, whatever.
And like, back in the day, yeah, you lived to 75.
But, man, she had, she could have had 20 more years to see her.
And they start talking about how we're walking up there.
And they're like, all she talked about was how she couldn't wait to get to Chickamauga to see y'all's house because she thought it was up.
And I'm like, oh, my God, what the fuck.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, again, Amber, Amber does, Amber's one of these people.
I won't say emotionless husk, but I will.
But she does that on purpose.
She really, she doesn't ever want to talk about her feelings with anybody.
And she doesn't cry ever.
But when she saw her papal by the casket, she really started boo-ho.
And that's when I, again, as the 72, I was like, this guy, because he's a healthy guy.
So it didn't really sink into her.
You all are driving up there.
She got the news.
It didn't sink into me.
And I feel like a dickhead about it.
Because, again, I was like, in my stupid brain, I was like, well, she seems to be taking it well.
But that's just because Amber doesn't like, that's not how she projects her emotions.
I'm going, well, she's taking it well.
And, I mean, you know, she only saw her a couple times of you.
and I know it's still hard, but like, she's doing better than I did during my, I'm sitting there
going, I had it worse.
Right.
You know, I'm not saying this out loud, but in my head.
No, no, yeah, yeah.
And then we get up there and I see the whole family.
And dude, it's in Webster City, Iowa.
And I was fairly certain there's only like 500 people in that town.
By God, they was all there.
They were all at the funeral because she used to clean people's house.
She cleaned everybody in the city's house.
That was her job.
What?
And he was the postman.
And now he drives a school bus and heumps Little League.
So, like, when you do that in a town of 500-something people.
Dude, that's like, you're like, you're like,
you're a pillar at that point. That's what I'm saying.
As small as the town is, everybody
fucking knew them. And I mean,
I don't have nothing other to say, but it was
just sad. And
it just made me
like, it made me look at Ma Ma'all's different.
Because like, again, I hear Ma'amaw and I'm thinking
like, mine, 96, dead, of course.
72, man, so much life
to be lived. I was 50 when she died.
Word. My dad's was helped. My
first, the reason I never had him is because she
died at 55 and Papal died at like
57 and I was like five years old. So like,
Again, in my mind, my granny, who was actually my great-grandmother, I've just like, yeah,
maimals are old, and sometimes they die.
But 72.
It was, ugh, wasn't it.
That's crazy.
Yeah, wasn't it.
So every day you hear Corey Forrester say something made him look at mammals differently.
I heard, yeah, I'll say this.
I'll say this.
One thing about northern funerals versus southern funerals, the complete lack of covered dishes.
Dude, I was about to ask that.
Does that mean they're uncovered?
No, no, no.
No, no.
No, no.
So we go.
Nobody brought no potato salad by?
Wait, no food at all?
No, there was food, but I'll get into it.
So we get there, they're like, I'm frustrated.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tell me about it.
By the way, Midwest, not Northern.
Midway, you're right, Midwest.
You know how it is.
Because I feel, but you're, okay.
Not South.
Yeah, not us.
Okay.
You look me in my eye and you tell me a Philadelphia funeral
ain't going to have some goddamn lasagna.
No, that's true.
And that's actually kind of what blew my mind even more
because I was expecting they do this thing in the Midwest
called pickle wraps.
and it's basically you cut pickles into little slivers here,
and then you wrap the pickle in a layer of cream cheese,
and then you wrap ham around that,
and then you cut it into little things.
That does sound funny,
but how you wrap a pickle in cream cheese?
You slather it.
You slather it.
You slather it.
You slather it.
You slather it.
You slather and cream cheese,
and then you take that pickle and roll it up into some ham,
and then you cut it, and there's these little pickle pan wheels.
I'm like, I'm going to get them.
There's going to be fucking some tenderloin action going on.
Of you can drive in the whole way.
Yeah.
This is what we play for!
So, yeah, making it all about me.
So we get there and they're like,
that's what I'll be doing to most funerals, though,
to be quite honest.
No, it is.
Every funeral is about you.
That's what it is.
It's for the living.
They're dead.
It's for the living.
It's for the living.
Exactly.
So they're like, the family's visitation is 11 to 12.
That will be followed immediately by service.
That will be followed immediately by the graveside.
That will be followed immediately by coming back here.
and we're all going to go in the kitchen
and there'll be refreshments and stuff like that.
And again, in my mind, I'm like, I know what it is.
Yeah, I'm like, it's going to be casserole.
It's going to be potato salad, all this shit.
We get back and it was just nothing, but it was, I mean, it was all desserts.
No, it was all desserts.
What?
It was a bunch of them, but it was just like special K bars, fucking lemon bars.
Oh, not even though motherfuckers cooked it themselves?
Some of them did, I think.
And cookies, the cookies were definitely purchased.
But so all it was was desserts.
And like, don't even wrong.
You know, I love sweets.
but like I had not eaten all morning and I'd been at the grave side expecting to come back to casserole.
My man was building up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You'd already funeral were on an empty stomach.
I was over here by this gray side.
I'd take a wee about to get.
They're like, stay down.
You keep funeral on an empty stomach.
The hole's already there.
What are we doing?
I don't even know why we took this step.
And then they had a woman preacher.
You know they talked to God damn much.
We've prayed 17 times.
God's busy.
Can I get back to some chicken or something?
It was all desserts, and so, and then I was like, everybody's like, well, we'll just, we'll go eat.
How about this?
After this, we'll all go eat as a family.
And I'm like, oh, hell yeah, all right.
So like, how long do you eat cookies with the people?
And they're like, we've got to sit here for at least another hour and a half.
No.
That's like, oh, that makes sense.
I mean, you have to sit with people.
That's why there's food.
Well, why don't you have better food?
Yeah, I wouldn't mind sit there for an hour.
It was past lunchtime.
But I was a special K bars.
It was past lunch.
Don't you wrong.
I ate three and a couple of lemon bars.
I just be able to bitching, just tearing them all each one.
What's a special K bar?
I thought Special K was a cereal.
It is, and they make the bar with, like, they put that in marshmallows.
Special Kellogg's bar.
It's like a Rice Krispy.
But with oat bread?
Fuck that.
But with Kahneman.
God, I hate Iowa.
Why would they do that?
No, it's actually really good.
It's actually really good because all it is is the flakes and then they, because think about this,
if you just ate a handful of Rice Krispies, that ain't it.
Right.
So you just, no sugar or nothing on it.
Like, that wouldn't hit.
but you put them in the marshmallow
and then that makes the rice crispy.
So I get what you're saying.
Then they cover it with a layer of chocolate.
Yeah,
but not rice crispy.
Yeah, but if it's not Rice Krispies.
I get what you're saying.
Of course.
Of course.
Look at his jowls.
Rice Krispies.
Look at the hollowness in his eyes.
Rice Krispies and checks.
Yeah, he eats cereal.
That's a cereal you got to do something with.
No, Krispics you could just take too
because they're the crispy Krispics.
But like I understand that like I could,
actually I could do that with Rice Kris Krispies.
It never sees his cereal.
He amazed me, Corey, like the surprise of, like, his time spent in prison, the way that it affected him.
Yeah, it's all food-related.
He just eats dry, crisp.
He's like, this is a treat?
No, the fuck it ain't, man.
You're free now.
You're free now.
You're free now.
Like ramen noodles dry? Ever do that?
No.
Because you just...
All right, let me tell you all what you do.
You take it.
It don't cost much more to hate him.
I know you're saving on the energy bill by not bowling a pot of water, but God damn, boy.
You ain't got a fight to get to the hot water, and you ain't got a fucking...
Jay's used to shoving him down his mouth before he shanked somebody.
Yeah, no, no, no, you bust them open, you know how they got the, you bust them over, put peanut butter in the middle?
Yeah.
Eat like a sandwich.
How does it taste dry?
Like, God, like the worst.
Like the fucking, we used to do that shit.
Make a...
In prison?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So, no, I'm not done it.
To be fair, generally speaking...
I don't know if that was just something y'all did, too.
No, Lord of God.
Generally speaking, when he says, we used to do that shit.
Yeah, about humans.
There's only one other thing you used to do.
Yeah, and that was being in prison.
He's either talking about us.
Be a prisoner.
Yeah.
The first chapter of your life is something else.
What we used to do together or that.
Right.
All right.
Well, I'm sorry.
Well, I didn't mean to throw that in the...
But I would tell you what.
There ain't no way I'm going to hang out with folks.
Especially in a death, in a death match.
Is that menthol?
Yeah.
It is?
Oh, never mind then.
I'll take that one.
All right.
So there ain't no way...
You wanted a menthol cigarette just to sit there and not smoke?
I don't want a menthol cigarette.
I don't want a menthol cigarette.
cigarette, which is why I ain't smoked this one. I'm going
to, but I'm upset as menthol.
I'm not upset. That's not the right word.
So,
I feel like, and that's what
they did, because all of the sudden funnels now,
they don't have them like they used to when I was a kid.
No, Lord no. No. No. Well, well, my papa
died. Now, everybody up up
the mountain came down. He was a huge, he was,
he did, you know, nine mile. He did all the
bluegrass festivals. They stayed out there.
They played bluegrass for like,
you know, three days. Everybody.
who came through it and saw the body and whatever and there was goddamn food
yeah there was crying and shit motherfuckers was upset yeah once they got full and remembered
somebody had died yeah yeah yeah but when he came out of the mountain here to chattanooga they
was like hey motherfucker i always be sad when i get full every time i need a chicken leg yeah
part of that is his legacy though i i don't know if it's that they don't do funerals like they
used to. Maybe you just ain't
men to one with some bitch like your
papal who had reached that mean people.
When I tell they don't do funerals like
they used to. I don't know how to fuck they used to do funerals.
Right. Well, no, I'll tell you how they...
That's the age I want to get. I'll tell you how
they used to. The age where you just sit around me like, man, I don't
do death like we used to. These fucking
millennials don't know shit about dying. I'll tell you
that right now. We're working on it. We're working
on. Funerals, as we know, them are a fairly
new concept in terms of actually going
to a different place other than your house.
Back in the day...
Sure.
Back in the day.
And that was the reason that room was called the parlor, which is why now a funeral home is called the funeral parlor.
Now, when I say what happens, it was like, they would go see the body there and then they would go to my granny's house.
Yeah.
And that's where everybody was that.
Did you know that's why once they stopped doing that, once funeral homes became a thing and they stopped doing that, they had this big old room in their house that was literally, that's what they were for.
They met.
But that's so once they started on the funeral home.
And also observing the babies.
Right.
You would go see the dead there, but you'd also go see the newly born there.
Well, that is beautiful.
That is beautiful, circle of life.
But when they started going to funeral homes
and people weren't using their homes for that,
and they were like, we got this big old room
and nothing to do with it,
they started putting sofas and things in there,
and that became a place for everyone to go in.
They didn't have sofas before?
They didn't have just a room that they would go,
like they had a study or whatever,
but that became what is now known as the living room.
That's why it's called the living room.
Is that true?
That is true.
I believe it.
A funeral director told me that.
I believe the first 80% of that story,
and then I felt like at the end,
Corey got on one.
You know what I mean?
And that's why, like, he's up there like Charlie on fucking,
Always said.
He's like pointing different directions.
He's got a graph.
And that's why they caught the living room.
And then he looks out, we're not here.
He's just in an empty field.
He's screaming at a tree.
I was told that by a funeral director.
Now, he may be full of shit.
No, I believe it.
But that's what I was told.
I knew it was all true.
I'm just saying halfway through the story, it started to feel like, you know.
Yeah, all mine feel that way.
You probably told it better than him, baby.
I guarantee you that.
I don't know.
Hey, no telling me.
He was Robbie's dad. He told it pretty good.
Oh, Big Rob.
Yeah, Big Rob. He told it pretty good.
He was up there with me when dad had the heart attack.
I literally, I hadn't slept the night before because it was Tuesday.
And Tuesday is my podcast day.
And I, you know, I hang out.
I edit the episode.
Then I stay up on night, making little promo videos and doing such and whatever.
And I hadn't slept.
I'd stayed up.
It was like 8 o'clock in the morning.
And I was like, still up.
And I was like, I'm finally going to lay down.
I'm going to sleep to about one.
Then I'll start my day.
As I was falling asleep, mom texts me and she said,
hey, shit just got weird, you're going to need to come up here to the hospital.
And I'm on like 40 hours straight up or whatever the fuck.
And I was like, uh, uh, fuck.
And I got the most terrified I've ever been in my life, especially because I wasn't
able to process it on the very limited sleep I had and no endorphins left.
I don't even remember calling Big Rob.
I just remember hanging up the phone and looking down and I had called Big Rob.
And he said, he got to my, he got to my house and he goes.
And apparently I just called him.
I said, Big Rob.
And he said, yeah.
And I just started like, whatever.
And I just said, I'm scared.
And he said, are you at home?
and I said, yeah.
And then he was at my house in five minutes.
And he's like, oh, let's go.
We'll go see your dad or whatever.
That's fucking community, man.
Yeah, and that's him.
He's my godfather.
But, by the way, he'd do that for you.
He didn't even fucking know you.
Oh, I know.
And he was able to, uh, he could tell people at the funeral home,
hey, Corey needs me.
I'm pissing off.
And so he missed a day of work.
So that hit for him.
Uh, but as a funeral director, going to the hospital is a business trip, I'd say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was trying to think it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They wrote that to fuck off.
I promise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me ask you something about anxiety.
Okay.
Real fast.
Okay.
Because I just, I just, uh, do you experience anxiety?
When you experience anxiety, is it, is it, is it?
Oh, your mic went out.
I don't know what happened.
Hold it, hold it different.
Just now?
Just not?
Literally just now.
I'm here.
No, I'm hearing.
No, I'm hearing every.
Lord.
That's the Lord.
Yeah, you're good now.
Okay.
The Lord don't want you to talk about anxiety.
DJ's lighter matches his phone.
Well, I'm just,
I was going to ask, I was just going to ask, so you have the difference between anxiety and anxiety, what was it, anxiety attack?
Panic attack and the affliction anxiety.
Oh, because anxiety's constant.
Right.
Anxiety is pretty constant, and I think that it manifests itself into a panic attack.
But, like, I pretty much live in a constant state of anxiety.
Sometimes it's a lot less.
Like, right now it's a lot less.
I've been taking CBD, which really fucking helps.
But like, what was it, what was your question?
The difference between those?
Well, we, here's something that's been on my mind for a minute.
After we talked to O'Garrow and then we were talking about Dre and like the laughter and how it,
and how it, I'm trying to figure out what's the difference in a, in panicking and anxiety.
And maybe anxiety is just a longer, that was just something that came into my mind real fast.
Obviously, I'm not a doctor, but the only way I could describe.
it is that anxiety
I live with anxiety
panic happens when something happens
that I immediately panic about
Are there anxiety attacks?
I mean anxiety attack and panic attack
Not the same
That's what I don't know either
I think panicking is just anxiety
Manifesting itself
Right exactly because
You know classical music is music
And punk rock music is music
I think it's like that
Yeah
No I mean that checks out to me
Yeah yeah yeah one's way worse
One's long
And subtle
and moves you to do crazy things if you get way too into it.
And one is right in your goddamn face, man.
Yeah.
That's what I think.
I would say anxiety is classical music because it's just,
it's in the background.
Yeah.
It's just kind of always...
Go on the background.
Go about your day.
You don't think it's affecting you, but it is.
And panic attack comes in,
Do you have the time to listen to me whine your fucking wrist?
About nothing and everything I let it want.
I am one of the...
Okay, so because I keep on hearing anxiety attack, panic attack, anxiety, panic attack.
And I didn't know, and I'm not really necessarily sure what is,
because I don't feel like I have anxiety.
Yeah, I don't think you do.
Yeah, but, but for sure I've had a panic attack.
You know.
I think your panic attacks manifest themselves as in relation to trauma.
Yes, I agree. I agree with that too.
it's like something triggers that it comes back
Isn't it weird how different are mental health
As humans not just us in this room
But like as humans
And like how we could have the same affliction
Whatever this is
We could have the same affliction T-shirt
I'm sorry
And then they would know
Not worth it by the way
It really
Well no it's like if you
If me and you both had
If me and you both had jaundice of the liver
They would treat
Because both do
Right for sure
but they would treat me and you both the exact same
because our, you know,
livers are pretty well the same
and jaundice is the same and it affects it the same.
So like, you got jaundice, you got jaundice,
here's these two pills that'll work on both them.
But your brain, me and you both could have anxiety
and depression, but the same pill ain't going to do
the same goddamn thing.
What if my jaundice is created by hepatitis C's and yours is by cirrhosis?
Yeah.
What if his jaundice was created by hepatitis C
and yours was by alcoholism?
What if that was how it worked?
Yeah.
What if?
Actually, I just completely, without thought, was just like, here's how your liver works.
You know what?
That could be the most wrong thing that is ever.
Let me tell you something about how the liver and jaundice works.
Well, the greatest thing is.
I ain't had jaundice in 31 goddamn years.
I'm so glad DJ picked up on that.
I was just like, God.
he's right man yeah well that's the thing about someone they're giving people liverpool that's the
that's the thing about someone that's really full of shit questions because people say things like
oh don't call goddamn then i hate to bring up the one who are not be named but trump don't call him
crazy i swear to god i was like what the fuck does voldemore have to do with any of this shit do
don't call him car well he's a crazy motherfucker yeah he's a goddamn mind well on that note i don't know
how to talk. I don't know what needs to be
more mental health about this
motherfucker.
You know that he needs some goddamn lithium
and a goddamn, you know,
some time and a padet's hell and somebody
to talk to. You know what I'm saying?
This motherfucker needs somebody to talk to.
I don't know if we do in the literal
medical world with John us as an
example, but in the mental health world, dude,
the reason for that is we don't have the words
for it. We have like
five words. You're depressed,
you're anxious, and this somebody
over here, you know, just needs to be...
It's because I'm depressed.
It's because the thing...
And when you have depression, that's way different than being sad.
What I'm saying is...
Oh, you're fine.
Or manic depression.
Right. I'm saying in like...
I got that in spades.
We won't be like, you're depressed and you're manic depressed.
We'll be like, hey, it turns out these two are completely different.
Right.
So we need to call them different things.
You know what I mean?
Because being...
We ain't there yet.
When you're wearing a motherfucker's skin, it's a lot different.
You know what I'm saying?
being sad
yeah right yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
nobody looks at a guy
wearing a skin
and goes get over it
yeah
yeah yeah
grab them
oh jeez
I'm sorry
who's boots
are they
yeah yeah yeah
I think they do some
lithium
yeah man
that's just
that's just a good Friday
well we can
uh we can wrap up there on us
softened depression
uh
I think we just need better words
more words
I think we do need more words.
Well, they fell us.
You've heard it here first.
We need more words.
All right, where can we find it Into the Abisket?
In a book.
At Into the Abisket.
Biscuit is spelled correctly.
That's a step in the right direction for us, by the way.
I know that.
Agreed.
At Into the Abisket, that's the only place you can follow us right now.
And we're going to shoot for the middle of October.
I love that idea.
I think falls a good time.

We'll post about it, won't we, DJ?
We will post a fuck out of it.
I'll start to post about it, and then you'll interrupt me.
Go ahead.

No, I was going to say, now that you've got the well-read podcast, so you've got your own shit.
Mm-hmm.
And then are you, are you, how do you like maintaining two?
How are you all maintaining?

Well-Rood podcast one is just exclusively

no. I talked... Somebody made a cool
picture of y'all. I mean, obviously
y'all've seen it. The anime one?
Yeah, I bought it from them so we could use it as our header.
That fucking hit. Because I felt, I was about to
do it and I'd message him, I was like... Can he animate that?
I don't know. That would hit.
I think that's a dude. So hard. Oh, we got to tell you about a place
in Chickama. Oh, my God.
