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 skewniverse, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery,

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

Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,

but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money.

What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them.

They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

They're the they're the liberal red necks they like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fun.

They're the River Rednecks that makes Some people upset They got three big old Dicks that you can suck Well, here we are Me and Drew in studio, Cho in his home studio there

So, very important matter Off Top I realized last night, laying in bed I went to sleep, I can't remember I even remember to bring this up Okay, from our childhood, right? and before, like, the hamburger helper mascot, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's a mitt, right?

Middle of a mitt. There's a Pillsbury doughboy, right? What's the slogan for Ricearoni? The San Francisco Tree. The San Francisco Tree. That's right. What was it before? You've got something horrible?

No, probably. But that's not what I'm getting that. You used to be murder Indians. You can go on and on. Rosaroni, we've got Chinese. Right. They do have Chinese. You can go on and on with those.

Is that currently a thing? Yeah, I think so. We just don't watch TV anymore. Is it daytime TV specifically? Yeah, because we stream and stuff. And I don't watch you make commercials. Yeah, but they don't. They mostly stream too.

Oh. Maybe think about it. Not that you would know if you did think of that. Well, I mean, okay, you got GICO. We can save you 10 minutes. We can save you something. Sorry, sorry. I specifically am only talking about food.

Okay. Like, because, yeah, of course, ads are still everywhere and in your face, and they're always trying to have some hook or something. But I'm talking about those were all food items I named. I feel like in my recollection, the 90s, you know, food marketing was, you know, at a high. Oh, sure. And I feel like you still, yeah, not fast food restaurants either. Like, it's like they were targeted at, you know, homemakers or something.

Yeah. And I don't, you know, shake and bake. Also, that's another thing, not just the marketing, but like those gimmicky things like that. Well, a lot of those are horrible for you. Right. And not cheap. Right. So now, I think a lot of that shit went away like shake and bake.

I mean, I'm sure that's still around, but they're not marketing that heavy because it's either high-end folk want something good for you. And poor folk can't afford the gimmick. It's like the middle class's disappearance, right? There it is. There it is. That's what it is. Dude, that's, I'm telling you. Well, they know they don't have to mark.

The poor, the poor foods don't have to market as hard anymore because it's like, look, you're going to get it. And the rich folk food is marketing. We don't have any preservatives. So, we are pure, organic. An early example of this, I think, was like when, when microwaves were first invented, that was, you know, futuristic shit. And I understand why. I mean, hell, microwaves are still wild. As hell.

But, yeah, they wild. So I get it. Murder a puppy. Get up a cup of coffee. Yeah, whatever. you need to do as long as it involves boiling something's insides but Jesus but so like TV dinners and shit like that when they first came out were you know also treated that way like wave of the future shit also TV was new TV in your living room and you can eat dinner that you microwave welcome to

the future white people only but like it was a whole thing and then gradually people realize like oh wait this is trash and so is that what's also happened with all those other things too that's like they ain't fooling nobody anymore I think for the most part I mean I think some of those brands kept their gimmicks though I mean the lucky uh the lucky charms guy still around the rice Krispies elves are still around and kids are still into that yeah but I mean I feel like the Pillsbury doughboard was a little bit for kids he probably was but I'm again you know shake and bake hamburger helper suddenly salad that that shit was for like I said homemakers I

think those weren't like targeted at kids they were targeted at you know well now i guess it's i don't know like hello fresh they have yeah you know great company good product it's it's stuff like that that has you're right entered into that you're right niche food market i think should we just like look up but have you ever seen a hello fresh commercial that wasn't on a goddamn podcast no but that's what i mean that's what it is now do you know what i mean it is now yeah you're right and we're not We ain't doing a hamburger helper. You won't throw up, you know, we'll hook you up too. Yeah.

Let me be clear. We're just, we're in a post-Dick pill world, man. And everyone eats fast food instead of TV dinners now. Right. So you got fourth meal. You'll cure a Taco Bell. I can only think of the Taco Bell ones, if I'm honest. That's a testament to their marketing.

And my eyes. No, well, like I was watching football all day Sunday at, uh, For part of it at my buddy's house, right? So not in a loud bar. So the commercials, people took note of the commercials. Oh, right. There were plenty of, you know, fast food joint commercials. But there weren't, as far as I can remember, there weren't any, like, you know, boxed meal or whatever the hell you want to call it commercials.

I don't know. It just feels like, again, it seems ubiquitous in my memory of the 90s. It's funny you say that because I also watched this past week. I watched the college championship and all the playoff games at my house. And that hasn't been like usually I'm watching those at Robbies when there's a shit ton of people there. And it's so loud that we don't hear the commercials or like you said at a bar. And I also took note of some of the commercials. And I assume that because of y'all's market versus my market, y'all don't know what Chick-fil-A's doing with their new campaign yet, or am I wrong?

Have you seen these new commercials? Is it where they have some, like, really heartfelt story about, like, a deaf guy? Yes. That's the most egregious one. But basically, it's like, and first off, I mean, anybody that's ever been to a chick-fil-a knows, like, their whole thing, well, I mean, first off, it's good food. I'm not doing an ad for them. But, like, their food is good.

But also, like, they really pride themselves on, like, their service. Like, it would be my pleasure. They go above and beyond to make sure that you have a good experience. But now, like, their entire ad campaign is, like, just in case you haven't been in a chick-fil-A, this is how fucking awesome we are. And like, yeah, they have the one where it's a, it's the whole commercial silent. It's just a deaf person on the couch with a Chick-fil-A employee and they're bragging at how like they know sign language and shit.

But the one I saw this past week was this girl and they were bright. They had, it was her and this black cop. And I guess they had left his waffle fries out of his bag. And she chased him down, ran across traffic to make sure that he got his waffle fries because they do so much for us. It's the least we can do for them. them. And it's just fucking so cringe-worthy.

Right. Yeah. They're like, yeah, we come on down to Chick-fil-A, we really shuck and jive for you. Yeah, exactly. We run into traffic for these waffle fries. Well, I think the analogy is accurate because what she did for him and what he does for his community, they both committed crimes, but got away with it because of who they are.

Right. Here's another thing that I came across the other day, which I cannot believe I had never heard this before, because it seems like one of those things that would get brought up all the time on the internet and shit. Maybe y'all have heard of this before. Fucking All-Star, my smash mouth, right? The song? Yeah. Okay. Did you realize it ever occurred to you that a good chunk of that song is about the looming threat of climate change?

Dude, that never, like, I never, because it's just like. The world's on fire. Dude, it's like the ice we skate is getting pretty thin. The water's getting warm, so you might as well swim. The world's on fire. How about yours? That's the way I like it, and I never get bored. Dude, that's a theme.

Getting cold. That's the theme was smashed, man. Something, something when you get older. The media men beg to differ because they ignore the hole in the satellite picture, all this shit like it's all just and I had never that was one of those songs all their songs I just like a lot of people I guess I just never

even attempted to you know analyze smash mouth lyrics they had that whole song we might as well be walking on the sun and it was about that too dude they've been woke as a motherfucker for a while smash mouth but it's so like cheesy tune wise right and then the hook

hey now you're an all start and I'm I can't decide if the The thought or plan was nothing. You know, just like, this is what the dude wanted to write about, but he also wrote catchy hooks. The thought or plan was, if I make my hook really catchy, I can earworm this other stuff into these kids' brains. Right. Or if it's completely ironic, like you're an all-star, get your game on and go, like he's saying.

Don't worry about it. This is the, it's like smells like Teen Spirit. Right, yeah. It was meant to be ironic. It's a commentary on a shitty attitude. Hey, everybody, let's just rock out and smile and no worry. and everything's golden. But it's meant to be ironic.

But, yeah, he's like, while the world burns, you know, but don't worry about that. You're an all-star. Get your game on. Go play. Sheep. Right.

I had this professor at governor's school who was talking about, he still was angry about Nirvana. He was like a very conservative Catholic professor. And he was, we were telling the lyrics one day. And he was like, you know,

just here we are now, entertain us. That's like your generation's whole attitude or whatever. And literally everyone was like, uh, he's shitting on that. Yeah. That's quite literally his whole thing. Uh-huh. Anyway, maybe we're that with Smash Mouse.

Apparently, yeah. Because that, well, it's all, like, you guys are both like, yeah, absolutely. And I believe you. But at that same football watching party I was at, I brought this up and they were all like, what? But then, you know, then we went through the lyrics and they were like, holy shit. It's like, yeah, they were trying to warn us the whole time. But none of them had heard that before either.

So I started thinking, I was like, oh, this is, you know, a thing that people don't know. Listen to these lyrics to, you might as well be walking on the sun. Here we go. So don't delay act now. Supplies are running out. Allow if you're still alive six to eight years to arrive. And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow. But if the offer shun, you might as well be walking on the sun.

25 years ago, they spoke out and they broke out of recession and oppression. And together they toad. and they foked out with guitars around a bonfire just singing and a clapping, man, what the hell happened? These motherfuckers is woke as shit. And they're just so catchy and in the Shrek soundtrack that we don't give them the credit they deserve. That's, yeah. Gudos to smash mouse. That's wild.

Yeah, good for smash miles. An open invitation to the well-read podcast. Anytime. Yeah. Any time. A standing invitation. Yeah, well, you were supposed to tell us a story about your story about your stuff. your dad. Well, there's just a couple, but it's just so funny. My dad played high school football

and loved it, and that was his sport. He played basketball too. He just didn't give a shit about it. And he just, you know, there's not as many stories when I used to hang around all his buddies and I played football and they would tell me about my dad and how good he used to be. I didn't hear a lot of basketball stories. And I've started to hear a few more over the years, and I thought I won this weekend. I was like, man, I ain't ever told that one on the podcast. So a couple. Every story I do hear from him or one of his buddies is something like this. There's a guy in Oliver Springs who played at Kentucky. He ended up not panning out there, but he was like six foot eight and really good.

And he dunked on my dad and my dad pulled his shorts down. He was just constantly doing stuff like that. Like that was the way he played basketball. Hold on. In a like in a trolling kind of way or in a like, fuck you, nobody dunks on the dougar, I think it was both Yeah right Yeah

My dad was a hippie He had long really dark brown hair It almost looked black And he was fast and he could jump And my favorite story He worked with this guy named David Jones David Jones and my dad worked on the railroad Together for years

They used to drive around And find pick up basketball games And play to 100 And try to fight everybody there If they lost But I don't know anybody like that Nobody like that But David talks about how when he played high school basketball for Scott High.

So if there's one school in the area more red than Sunbrite, it's where Andy. My wife grew up in Scott County. Is Onita separate from that? The school is separate, but it's in Scott County. There's two schools. There's O'Nina City School District and then the Scott County School District. O'Noy is where all the money is. Okay.

Yeah. When they played him. Like $17? Yeah, exactly. No, no, I've got some rich folk, man. The coach of Scott High would, they played man-to-man, which was very rare back then. And David would always tell us this story. He tells it every time, and it always cracks me up, that he would go through the line,

telling him who to guard, and he would save David for last. And apparently he did it every game, and he would go. And David, you guard that goddamn Indian boy. Because my dad had long black hair. It was fast. The dude just thought he was Indian. And that just killed me. Just thinking about that's so Scott High, you know, especially that time period, the 70s.

Well, he's got long hair and he's fast. He must be an Indian. Right. Because hippies are illegal hair. Exactly. You can't be a hippie here. Right. So he must be an Indian.

Right. Be an Indian. Is your dad not an Indian? Mm-mm. Okay. Well, you know. I know. Yeah.

It's very common for dads of our generation where we're from to be Indians. The only thing I heard that. Everybody used to be an Indian. in the day. I mean, to hear them tell it. For people that don't know what the fuck we're talking about, it's an extremely common thing where we're from for white people to talk about how they're 1-8th Cherokee or 1-16th Cherokee or whatever the fuck.

My mom had a story that she stops telling about someone in her family. I think it was an aunt though, so it never was, you know, claimed to have trickled down to us. But she had an aunt or a great-a-a- who was Cherokee, so her cousins were 1-8 or 11-16 or whatever.

But she would tell the story and it was like it was like it sounded like rape or kidnap it was like yeah you know he went and got him an indy wife or whatever it was like she was only 13 but you know that was normal back then and i'm like doing the math i'm like that wasn't that normal this wasn't 1840 this was like my team 30 yeah yeah traded wamping for or something no fucking no man uh all of my grannie's all of my granny's sisters they got married off at like 12 and 13 in the fucking 30s it's it was a weird dumb time. Well, like, at that time, you know, they had to get rid of them or they were going to die.

Oh, they, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, the parents were happy for them to go. Yeah. In the fucking late 20s and 30s and shit, in the rural South, everybody had nine kids to work on the farm that was dying or whatever. You know, and you got to get them to fuck out of the house and make them somebody else's mouth to feed as soon as you can. It's a desperate situation. I would buy that. And, I mean, you're right about the depression, obviously.

I would buy that more easily if the boys were getting married at 14 as well, but they were all waiting to like 21 to 25. And marrying 13-year-old. Yeah. Yeah. My grandma and Ma'am and Pa got married when she was 15 and he was 18, I think. You know, now that I think about it, Memo Dean, Papal came back from World War II.

He had stayed over there as long as he could because he had him an Italian woman and a kid, and the government wouldn't let him marry her because of fascism and the war. was afraid she was going to be a spy, this poor, poor Italian lady. Lord. They had a five-year-old daughter, and the army made him leave Italy and wouldn't let him bring either of them with him. It's so... He came back heartbroken to marry himmingway shit. He came back, heart broke, and I guess split the difference.

You know, he couldn't get to have his woman and his kid, so he got Mamaw right in the middle, 15-year-old. Your papa lived a Ernest Hemingway story. That's wild. Yeah. He did get drunk a lot, because that's your child. Yeah. We, uh, so before we, if, if we move on, you, your dad, you talking about your dad made me think about, we were talking about this the other day. I think it's so hilarious how legendary of a shit talker Larry Bird was specifically. Yeah.

Because it's like, first of all, it's just hilarious that Larry Bird was the dominant, undeniable force of nature that he was. look, you know, being the hick from Salt Lake or whatever and looking the way he did. And, uh, he looks like earthworm gym. Yeah. And, um, but when you add on top of that. He looks like a bird. Yeah, I mean, I can see. He does look like a bird.

He, uh, in a feathered hair. But it's just wild. Everything about that motherfucker is wild. Everything about, we've, we've done it on the podcast before. Everything about Larry Bird is wild. When your buddy, uh, Bryson was on here, we talked to, we talked about that bit he had where he was like, wanting to lie to his kids

about things that are real saying they're not real so that instead of having kids who are disappointed to learn Santa Claus isn't real they'll learn cool things like that dinosaurs are real and they'll be excited and then the climax

the kid walks in the door from school in like third grade yeah Larry Bird was real you told me he was a myth that's uh I've literally tried to purchase that joke from him multiple times because I love that so much. But so Larry Bird is just all around hits his existence to me.

But especially the fact that he was like, again, the biggest shit talker in the whole league. Like they said he would walk in before like the three-point contest and All-Star weekend or something. would walk in and just be looking around the locker room back there where everybody else was and wasn't saying anything. He would just be like just looking back and forth between them all until somebody said, what are you doing, Larry? And he's just like, I'm just trying to figure out what you motherfucker's going to lose to me tonight or come in second place or whatever. And he would win.

And he would win, like smoke him every time. Chuck Pearson talked shit about him ahead of a game they had against each other, and it was on Christmas Day. and he said he was going to go bird hunting, so they asked Larry pregame if he had heard about that, and he had, and he said that he's like, yeah, actually, I brought him a little gift since this Christmas day,

and I'll give it to him a little later on, love Chuck, whatever. And then he fires a three-point dagger to, like, win the game at the end. And according to legend, before the ball even goes through, turned around and looked at Chuck Persson, goes, Merry fucking Christmas.

handed him a box with an L in it. That's right. Let's see. So Xavier McDaniels, a ballplayer back then, and he was guarding Larry Bird one night, and he said Larry told him, I'm going to get the ball right here, and I'm going to shoot it right in your face.

He then received the ball in the next position, found the exact spot he pointed out, and buried the shot in his face, and then said, I was sorry, I didn't mean to leave two seconds on the clock. Jesus. Yeah, but just look at that dude and just picture him just going in. Oh, and one of my favorite stories of all time about Larry Barry was when he,

and it's not on the list that I'm looking at because I guess it wasn't really him talking shit. But he said in an interview once after his playing career was over that he would get genuinely offended, like upset if the other team put a white dude on him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It pissed him off. So much if they, if they dared to put another white guy on Larry Bird, he would get, like, offended to his core. That's so funny, man. I hate it when they put an old guy on me, when I show up at a new place to play ball. Yeah.

It's furious, you know. The white guy, I could, you know, I deserve that. Right. My favorite one, I think we've told this one before, but he didn't do the three point. Right. Contest one year. And so somebody else obviously won. Somebody for Chicago.

I don't remember his name. Let's say it's Bill Jones. And then he goes, hey, Larry, after he won, he said he was, you know, he knew where to find you. Yes. Oh, this is a great one. He couldn't wait because I know where to find Larry. And he goes, yeah, I know where to find him, too, at the end of the bull's bench. That's right.

Yeah. That's so. Brutal. Just off the cuff. All right. What? Oh. what do you got i had something it just left me damn it never mind uh joe where you got

i've been uh i've been kind of in my fields this past week because i've been eat up with titan mania for the past uh you know month or so and i really thought we were about to get it done and then that didn't happen so i'm sad but i do want to give a shout out to titan nation and my main man uh the two two train Tractor Cedo, King Henry himself for making me believe again. And also, I can't say enough about Ryan Tannahill, but sincerely, I've got tears in my eyes. I just want to thank Derek Henry for making me feel the way I used to feel when I watched Eddie, George, and Steve McNair. So, hell yeah, buddy. Great season, boys, and we'll get them next year.

I echo that sentiment. I was on the fence about whether I would prefer to talk about it or not just because it's a fresh wound, but they absolutely deserve credit. But that's the thing. We were talking the other day. Honestly, it was still, like, the fact that they're not going to the Super Bowl is still, like, that doesn't take anything away from the fucking run that they had at the end of this season. It was one of the best runs in American sports in a while, in my opinion. And it was fucking awesome.

I loved it. Dude, they dethrone Brady, and then they beat the fucking MVP. I mean, they weren't, and they were a wild card. They weren't supposed to be there. We had a backup quarterback that came in, and absolutely. caught fucking fire, which makes me nervous because now we're about to have to 100% give him a lot of money in a contract extension. And I've been saying, like, he's been playing for his job this year, which is a lot different than when you get it and you got that cushion. You can make him.

And I know a lot of Dolphins fans and they're like, boy, I don't know about this. There's a way to ensure that he's playing for his job again next year too. Apparently, a lot of time because of, so the franchise tag, they average the top five salaries at whatever the position is. and that's your salary if you get franchise tag. If a running back, that's why Levy on Bell set out. That's what, like,

if a running back gets franchise tags, a lot of times, they'll hold out because, like, running backs have very short careers. They got to secure the bag, whatever. They don't fuck with that.

But apparently, like, quarterbacks are more all right with it because it's a much higher number. They can, their careers aren't built the same way the running backs is. So a lot of people are saying

the Titans would be wise to franchise Tannahill because it probably, It shouldn't, like, you know, upset him in the way it would Derek Henry and give Henry the extension, which is what I hope they do. But I'm also talking out of my ass. So, you know, I'm not, I'm not. Eric Henry deserves whatever the fuck he wants. Without a doubt. Absolutely.

Them dethroning the Patriots might be my favorite sports thing that's happened. Yeah. I mean, I was thinking about the Vols basketball team and how much I enjoyed them last year. Yeah, that was awesome. But that was best. better. And then also, like, the Ravens were, people don't remember, people that aren't Titans fans certainly don't remember because nobody remembers shit about the Titans ever.

But the two previous best chances the Titans had before this year, 2008 and 2003, I believe. So 2003 is back in the Air McNairdays still. And in 2008 was when that was CJ 2K. That was that season. They started out 10 and 0 with 13 and 3. both of those years, the two best Titans teams of the past two decades, were like favorites, number one seeds, playing in Nashville, and the underdog Ravens both times came in and upset them and beat them.

So like that was also like a revile, like we owed them that shit, you know, and it was Anne Lamar's. And I love Lamar Jackson. The 08 game, I was at a wedding. I was in it. It was Daniel Child, my college roommate. His colors were purple and something, and we had on black tuxedos. Yeah.

And we were all Titans fans. We were watching the game, like, back in the back of the church, ready to get him married or whatever. Got him married, then we all got to celebrate. Hopefully the wedding and the win. We lose. Now I'm in Nashville with fucking purple and black on. Yeah, that's rough. It sucks.

I was in Nashville, too. I was at that game. We ain't got to tell the whole story. but drunkest, reddest, shittiest I've ever been in my entire life was at that game because we all went to it. And yeah, the general atmosphere afterwards was not a good one. If I'm not mistaken, both of those Ravens team ended up going to the Super Bowl. Did they not? Not 2008.

The last time they were there was 2012 when they beat the 49ers before that. It's pretty sure they got beat by Tom Brady's Patriots that year, 2008. Actually, yeah, you're probably right. No, Steelers, I think. That was the year that... Steelers and Cardinals, was that year? Maybe. Yep, that was the Bettis fumble.

Yeah, so anyway. That was the year Bettis almost lost it all with that fumble, but they ended up winning. Well, I don't know. Corey brought this up before you got here. I guess we might as well get into a little bit of it, although I didn't, I had not yet seen it. Let me say real quick, go chiefs. Yeah. Yeah, I don't, neither of the teams, I don't really give a sure.

shit. I know that for you. Now, as a also Raiders fan, I just can't root for the Chiefs, but I really like, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reed are both awesome. Yeah. But I also think that the Chiefs have some, like, very unlikeable motherfuckers on their team, too. And then the 49ers are, you know, whatever. I like Richard Sherman.

Yeah, I love Richard Sherman. I like Richard Sherman. I ain't got nothing against Garoppel. Oh, he gorgeous? He is. He's very pretty. And so, I mean, yeah, it's whatever. I don't really give a shit.

Nate Bosa, a big MAGA guy? Yes, he is. And that don't hit. I guess his whole family is like that. Unfortunately, he's also probably the most equipped defensive player in the NFL to stop Patrick Mahomes. Because he can get pressure, but he's also really fast. Yeah, I don't think, I mean, if we're just, if I was, I don't know. I mean, the 49ers defense has had the toe legit, but it's like the chiefs are like,

you almost can't stop them. And we have good passing defense. We don't have good running defense. I don't know. They run the ball, though. They run the fuck out of the ball. You know, about as much as any of them are nowadays, meaning, like, I mean, yeah, he's pretty athletic,

but he's not a scramble. We're going to lose. Anyway, Corey was telling me about this Hillary shit before you got here. No, I had to look at the news all weekend. I've been in Portland. Yeah. Oh, I just saw it this morning.

Hillary just apparently came out and just kind of laid out a whole Bernie don't hit shit. But, like, you know, I don't like Bernie. Nobody likes Bernie. Nobody wants to work with him. So, I mean, that's all I saw. I didn't read the whole thing. But I just know that's about to be a fucking, that's just going to be a huge dagger.

It does, I don't agree with that at all. Yeah, what do you mean huge dagger? I was actually about to say, do we think that it's going to make really much of a difference at all? Well, maybe it won't because a lot of people that are for Bernie were like, you know, fuck Hillary anyways. But just, I don't know, man. it just seems, it just seems shitty her even weighing in on some bullshit right now. But I mean, hell, Bernie might have done a wrong or some shit.

I don't fucking know. It's just that motherfucker supported her, God damn it. I just want to win. I don't think we should do that shit. This is just another one of those like, we just can't help ourselves out situations. I think, and I'm talking out of my ass again here, but I think that, like, at this point, most Democrats, even ones that were, like, with Hillary

in 16, have kind of just stopped giving much of a shit about her and her stance on things. I sort of think. I don't see her moving. Because it's like just because the way everything went down. And I feel like most people have kind of moved on.

I'm sure a lot of people that fucked with Hillary now have, you know, their horse in this one. But yeah, I don't know. I don't think that that's true of like the quote unquote establishment. I think she pretty accurately represents it. They've been going after him literally this whole campaign. campaign. There's a way I could see it helping him in the sense of, unfortunately, I think he's got to throw the gauntlet down. I think he's got to be like, yeah, people don't like me because the Democratic Party has become a party of big business, of big donors. He's got to start talking

about let's talk about who Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton's friends are. Let's talk about all the millions upon millions of dollars they made from kickbacks and jobs after they left office and sometimes while they were in office. And he's got to basically say, you know, yeah, they don't like me. Because I call out their bullshit. Because the only time I've ever made a lot of money is from a book I wrote, not from being appointed to this fucking chair or going to work for this fucking company. And he's got to essentially call out what is, in my opinion,

the main problem with the Democratic Party at the top, which is they cowtow to huge business. They're huge, huge, huge, huge pro-business and not necessarily pro-worker because businesses don't want to pay workers or give them. benefits, et cetera, et cetera. Well, I guess. And when he does, I guess also like, go ahead.

Well, I guess also that like, you know, that percentage of people who like were for Bernie but then flipped to Trump, like that weird little Venn diagram or whatever. If those, some of those people still exist and they hear they were kind of for Bernie, but then went to Trump and then hear that Hillary don't like Bernie, they might be like, okay, well, opposite of her heads. I think, yeah, I think the best chance he has is people who won't usually vote coming out in the primary. voting, but the thing is that that's less likely in the primary than it is anything else.

Yeah, I, it, no, nothing shocks me anymore, but like the fact that they're doing, they being the establishment, the, you know, the Democratic, you know, party on a national scale or doing the same type of shit that they were doing before with, like, uh, doing everything they can to, like remove him from the right, meaning, like, you know, having polls and shit where he, he, he, he, They don't even put his name on it or whatever. It's like other. They announced who came in second. Did you see?

Yeah, that type of shit. And I saw one the other day where like it was every major Democratic candidate and it was a poll for Democrats. Uh, except Bernie wasn't on there. And it was just listed as other. And other had like the majority, like it was another one, you know, by like 10 percentage points or something like that. And it's just like, I don't know. I just don't. I don't like who are you fooling with that shit but I mean old people I guess is the answer I don't know well you're probably being celebrated by the people who say and really believe and fill this in their heart that's he's not a Democrat and I don't want to vote for him you know you're getting them excited and they're into it but you're not going to change those people's minds anyway my you know my fear is that all this will work and it'll end up being Biden instead of Warren I hope that she's going to endorse Warren soon kind of even though I don't want to

her to beat Bernie either. You know, I would much rather have Warren than Biden personally. But, I mean, you also got to think about, I don't know, it might be a trap, too. It might be another play for them to continue to call him sexist, number one. Number two, like, once he comes, attacks back, it's like, see, he's mean to women, you know, he said that to Warren. But the other thing I'll say, and I've said, this before in the opposite when people talk about someone you can have a beer with. So I'll say this in the opposite. I

don't give a shit if nobody likes him. I don't give a shit if no one likes Elizabeth Warren. I don't give a shit if no one likes Joe Biden. I'm talking about their policies, their record and what they plan on doing. I don't give a flying fuck if Bernie's a hateful

old man. We have to stop pretending like this is a goddamn reality show. Yeah, I hear you, but unfortunately it is a fucking popular And my thing with that has changed, because I would have a few years ago, I mean, hell at this point, probably going on 10 years ago, because this happened for me during Obama's administration. Prior to all that, I would have actually said that it's very important because you have to be able to work with the other side to get things accomplished or whatever. And if you're like impossible to work with, then you're never going to get anything done. That's what I would have said then.

But then the Obama administration illustrated to me that like it doesn't fucking, he literally the coolest most charismatic motherfucker on planet Earth, who by the way, didn't hit for me, was obviously very willing to work with, you know, you name it, the banks or fucking, you know, whoever, the law enforcement, whatever. Like, he would work with. people and he's as charming as a motherfucker you'll ever find and they wouldn't do shit with him regard so i that i realize it's like it don't fucking matter so like if it don't matter then i i also don't give a fuck if none of them get along like joe biden just keeps harping on this shit like

he's you know he's been around forever he knows how to play the game and thus he knows how to work with these people and i'm like fuck working with these people well that's my thing like fuck working with republicans if democrats if bernie got elected and democrats senators were like, I don't like him, I'm not going to do his policies. Then fuck you. Right. Like, what? Right.

I don't like, we won. Work with him. Yeah. And, you know, that's how I feel about it strongly. Like, I don't get, you know, and then I've heard the argument, well, Bernie is hard to work with. Not nobody likes him, but he's hard to work with. So he gets nothing done. It's just not true.

He's gotten a lot done. He's gotten a lot done for vets. And it's just one of those things where he was an independent for social. long that no one would work with him that's why he joined the party not because he was hard to work with because as an independent he couldn't have any clout he joined the party and people have started working with him but they don't like him because he doesn't cowtow to him he doesn't fall in line when you're in a group of when you're in a group of people and y'all's whole like thing is like you know we're in the we're in the pockets of big pharma and big tobacco and lobbyist and

shit like that i bet it's hard to work with someone who don't play ball like that yeah it's well you know when you actually have like principles. And on that note, like it can make you hard to work with. And on that note, if you're out there and you're listening right now and you don't like Bernie, that's fine.

But AOC has the same rep for the record. Pelosi doesn't like her, keeps throwing jabs at her because she says she's hard to work with because she says she doesn't compromise enough. And so this is something that's emerged that I've seen where there's so many people who are like, yes, queen, AOC, fuck Bernie Sanders.

you need to look into your soul and figure out what the difference is because policy-wise, they're the same person. Now, if you just go, well, I like a strong Latino, young, minority, you know, woman, you know, I'm for that. That's fine. But then why do you hate Bernie? Yeah. It doesn't have to be one or the other with those two.

I'm a big fan of both of those two. My only point is, I mean, dude, it's just people just don't like, like, it's what Hillary's saying. There's just a lot of people's like, he just robs me to wrong. wrong way. Okay, but we're not fucking voting for an uncle. This person's not going to be our uncle. He's going to be our president. Like Corey said earlier, like, I agree with, I agree with you about that. But like Corey said, it, that type of shit does matter, unfortunately. Like, a lot of people do vote for who they like, you know. And it's always been that way. It's not like a new, oh, in the reality, reality show age. I mean, very famously,

Franklin Pierce won the election in a landslide when he was the most unqualified motherfucker to do it because he just happened to be college roommates with Nathaniel Hawthorne, who was the biggest novelist of the time. And Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a biography about me and my buddy Franklin Pierce. And then everybody was like, oh, wow. And he just, he was the most insanely popular motherfucker. And he goddamn won. Then he wrecked a horse drunk and a bunch of other shit.

But, you know, it just always has been who's the most popular. It sucks, but it's always been that. Yeah. I still, though, my fundamental stand, which is an easy one to take, but I don't give a shit as far as all that goes, is like, you know, I don't give a fuck if it's a ham sandwich, you know, I'll fucking show up to vote for the pork-kind senator from Arkansas or wherever the ham sandwich is from. But yeah, I like, because I like Bernie a lot. I voted him in the last primary. I like Warren, you know, whatever. I like a lot of them.

There's things that piss me off about all of them, too. I just, to me, there's just a job one that we have. Right. And that job is defeating this motherfucker and at all cost as far as I'm concerned. So like, you know, whoever it ends up being, I'll be there. Yeah. Well, I mean, like, here's just an example. Here's a tweet. Give no fucks. Hillary is my favorite Hillary. She's my hero telling the Bernie bros, I guess that's me. We're not scared. Everyone's so afraid to vet him because no one wants to face the wrath of his cult. She's going to save us by allowing herself to be punching bags so the candidates don't have to. Yeah.

That, to me, is borderline insane. And not because I don't believe there are people who are for Bernie who are mean on the internet. It's, that extrapolating your entire political view because someone who likes Bernie Sanders is mean to you on the internet is insane. Case in point, I have been shit upon for being pro Bernie Sanders on the internet by Hillary supporters, Biden supporters, over and over again. But at no time would I take that and go, see, this is because that's who they all are. It's weird. It's super weird. Yeah, I mean, honestly, to me, it's probably just because Bernie excited a lot of young people and young people are the ones that are well old people probably the most

vocal old really really old and really really young are the most vocal on the goddamn internet and a lot of the burney bros are super young and super twitter and reddit savvy so yeah it seems like they're fucking dicks yeah yeah i don't know i don't know i'm speaking out of my butt on that too that just seemed like you know the term burney bro seems like that's a young person yeah i think that's definitely a lot of it. I was trying to find someone had retweeted a tweet and I saw it and then it went away where

when Hillary thanked Bernie for endorsing her in 2016, all the nice things she said about him, but it went away. It was like a lifetime of service fighting for working people, poor people and people of color. But nobody likes them.

To switch gears a little bit here towards Man, fuck her. Getting towards the end. Fuck her, man. What a callous piece of shit. What a cow longer. What a fucking callous, rich piece of shit. And if you're out there and you like her and you got something to say to me, fucking, then just say it.

I don't give a fuck. Fuck Hillary Clinton, man. God damn. If you are keeping up at home, 11 minutes is how long. I had the under for sure. The inception of this conversation to Drew calling her a callous piece of shit and I had my money on five minutes, so I lost. Yeah, I had the under too. And you know who this is going to be bad for?

Elizabeth Warren. Because a lot of people already don't like Hillary Clinton. This is going to make them like her. even less, and because they're sexist, they're going to associate Elizabeth with this, because people are dumb and think of things like, someone was mean to me on the internet, so now I hate Bernie Sanders. Because people are that stupid, they're also stupid enough to go. Look, this Democratic woman did something I don't like, so now I'm mad at all women.

And they kind of look the same. They look like mammoths. This is going to hurt Elizabeth Warren. She's so bad at politics. Hillary Clinton is so bad at politics. This is going to help him. This is going to fucking help him. God, she's so bad at politics.

So I want to point out, and you're going to dispute this a little bit maybe, but this is objectively exactly what happened. This is the influence of like, or this is how much, like, social media and shit can affect a person in their day-to-day life or in their brain. Because we brought this up to Drew. He didn't know about it yet. And I didn't either, Corey, or you brought it up. So we started talking about it, and it's a measured conversation. At a certain point in this. I know what you're going to say.

Drew gets on Twitter to find, just to look into some shit, see some stuff that's been said about it or whatever. This man spends 90 seconds on Twitter on this subject and is frothing at the mouth furious about the topic overall now. Whereas pre-Twitter, it was fine. Not fine. But like, you know, this shit, this is what happens to all kinds of people with every subject all the time. Pre-Twitter, I wouldn't have even heard about this because I would have had to go get my paper this morning and it's fucking cold. Right. That part's true.

But the rest of it, I'm just going to, maybe that's true generally, but I'm going to defend myself a little bit. I was looking for that specific thing after it disappeared so that I could read it and show it to you. Nothing I saw just now made me angry. Once I stopped looking at Twitter and thought about what this happened, that's when I got furious. And part of the reason I got furious is it's just dumb. if her goal is to get him not elected, I don't think she's going to accomplish that at all. I think that's going to blow up in her face.

If her goal is to say, you know, we as a party need to come to get, that's not going to fucking him. That's the other thing. This is going to hurt Biden and Warren. That's who it's going to hurt. Like so many of his supporters are just as childish as apparently she is. So many Bernie supporters are still going to be mad about this. And they're going to blame Elizabeth Warren.

Well, maybe she's great at politics and that's our end game. What? To get Trump elected? Yeah. Well, there you go. Don't affect her any, and she gets to keep riding four more years. If only we had Hillary, it's good for a fucking book sale. She don't give a shit. She's a demon. If that's the case, man, she is even worse of a person than I said.

I feel like what you just said is worse than what I said. God, that's... It is. I meant to say a worse thing. I want to switch to a more positive topic that will still have us ranting because we don't know how to not rant about anything that we care about. I don't think we've ever done this on the podcast, but we might have.

I'm not sure. But I've been on a little kick lately because it's award season, and one guy in particular, I just want to say, for the record, for everybody, it's a casual movie goer out there or whatnot. And that's it.

If you got a problem with Adam Sandler, you've got a problem with me, by God, because Adam Sandler, I've been on a kick lately because I watched Uncut Jams. And he's, you know,

he's, he's had a lot of interviews and stuff in support of uncut gyms. And also, we've met Sandler. He did our show at Largo, you know, met him, talked to him a little bit on more than one occasion. But just that aside, like, he's just, I don't know, he's such a good dude. And, but also. You'll never hear anybody say, I've never heard a bad Sandler story.

And in this climate that we live in, that's insane. Right. And I know he gets shit on a lot. And it's because of like he's made this, like, insane. The same number of movies, right, that are, yeah, you know, goofy, lowbrow stuff or whatever. But, like, if I'm not mistaken, literally every single one of those movies has made money, right? And... Oh, yeah, they wouldn't, they would not keep letting him do him if they didn't.

That's the thing people don't get. Like, it's... Nobody is bigger than Hollywood. If Adam Sandler wasn't fucking financially viable to these people, they wouldn't keep letting him do these. And also, he gets fucking De Niro and Pacino and Steve Buscemi. They all want to work with this motherfucker because it's so much fun to do. and here's the deal. Those movies ain't for you.

They're four fucking kids, and the kids goddamn love them. So suck my dick. Adam Sandler's the guy. He should be president. Yeah, we'd be better off as he was. But he also has like openly stated before that like,

you know, he'll like those movies. He always, he hires his buddies, which is, that's cool to me, you know, like,

you know, taking care of your, your peoples or whatever. They go, they've set a movie in Hawaii just because, so now we can all go to Hawaii and get paid to make this movie. Right.

And then ends up making movie or making money for the studios and everybody's happy. And then, oh, yeah, every roughly 10 years, he drops an Oscar worthy performance like he did this year in Uncut Gems, did not get nominated, which is horseshit. But, like, the man is genuinely extremely talented. You talk to people about, or you hear interviews with people from, like, his S&L days, like from that era of around Saturday Night Live and stuff. And they'll tell you that like he was the, you know, most savvy cast member on the roster at the time.

Chris Rock said he's the smartest. Chris Rock said he's the most brilliant motherfucker he's ever met. Yeah, he's the most brilliant, like, funny person that Chris Rock's ever known because of, again, how savvy is and how well he understands, you know, the game and everything. And he's just, again, he's a fucking genuinely good dudes

and just I love the same man. I always go back for the Sam Man. I don't give a shit what his next movie is. I do wish he would make more uncut Jims type shit than he does. I understand why he said what he said, but I don't buy it. I think he likes making great movies every once in a while. It's not just for the awards. I think he likes to do it for himself.

Because we hadn't referenced that. What Drew's talking about is Adam Sandler had said publicly before the, he had said that, like, if if this if uncut jams his performance in that didn't get any kind of like recognition or whatever then he was just going to give up on drama forever and only do comedy because clearly

he's not cut out for it. He said it in that like kind of that way and then he did get snubbed and so like you know people are saying like oh no he's never going to do drama again I'm sure he will too didn't he say it like here's the thing he's only been it's only the fucking Oscar motherfuckers that snubbed him every dude everyone is I would say that the majority of people right now are going,

what the fuck? How is he not nominated? So, like, he's getting the credit. It's just not from those elitist fucking douchebags. Didn't he say it? Like, didn't he say it like, I'm only going to make shitty Netflix movies or something, like some bad, goofy? I feel like it was a joke's what I'm getting. Yeah, I think he said like half jokingly at least.

But anyway, yeah, I've just, I've been watching these, you know, award seasons movies. And also I've been watching these interviews with the people in them and shit. And so I've been on a little bit of a sandman kick lately. And we were texting about him yesterday or whatever. And I just wanted to go on the record as saying, you know, he's the shit. He hits for me. And I'll hear no, I'll hear no Sandler Slander where you. Go ahead, baby.

What were you saying? I said, I'll hear no Sandler's slander. No Sanders slander. No Sanders slander. Yeah, I was just saying, like, what a career to aspire to where you can go on record is saying, look, if I don't win the Oscar for this, I'm just, I guess I'll just go back to making $20 million a movie on a boat in Hawaii. Right.

Yeah. But I have to assume that gets old after a while, even if you want to come back to it, you want a time to, you know, do something different. Well, right. I think that it does. And that's when, and he'll, like you said, like, in a couple years, he'll have done a bunch of those movies. And, like, his, because his whole life is set up to be a vacation where he's getting

paid his vacation is all right let's do this fucking insane character study where i don't make a lot of money yeah um you guys see that script for grownups three as a horror no someone wrote a spec for grownups three as a horror film and it's really meta they're on set for grownups three and no one's getting along anymore like the idea is like they're not really that close anymore they've all made millions upon millions because of Sandler. And Sandler, they call cut and everyone's kind of going back to the trailer. And then Sandler, the next day they come to set and he's like, we're not filming the day. And he makes him going a road trip to this cabin and all that.

And Alan Covert's just there when they get there. And like one of the jokes, he's like, oh, how did you even know about this? These guys are following you guys. And then they're attacked. It's pretty damn funny. Yeah. It's about 45 pages and it's hilarious. That sounds like a hits.

Judd Apatow retweeted it and said, this is the best script I've read in three years. That sounds like the end of the world, like that type of meta shit. I like that. I'm into that. You guys both said, so on the subject of uncut gyms,

but without trying to avoid spoiler territory or whatever, you and Corey both said that, and I've heard, I've seen a lot of people say a version of it, that you guys have like issues and anxiety sometimes, and so that movie was just like. It was too much. Yeah, it was just like,

And I totally get, like, I don't. It was also, it was the sound. Yeah. They did it all like that. Like, you could hear so many street sounds all the time. It was, yeah, purposeful, like, sensory overload. Yeah. So I deal with sensory overload, like, insanely.

And, like, it was immediately apparent to me that the direction of the film was, okay, they want me to consume this movie and watch it in the same light that this person, without giving any spoilers, that, this man, this character experiences his life. Like, this must be what it's like to be this guy 24 hours a day. And again, here's the deal. I love that fucking movie. I'll never watch it again because of that. Now, watching it again because I know everything that happens, maybe it won't be like that.

But, like, that's not saying it's not a, it's a fucking great movie because they pulled that shit off. I was on the edge of my seat. I almost had two goddamn panic attacks. Amber, who was with me, who is not prone to panic attacks because you have to have emotions first. She was also about to fucking die. See, I also don't really have like anxiety issues and I didn't, I could tell that that was what was going on with the movie.

But I was not sitting there feeling like feeling that internally myself. I did have some of that while watching 1917. And I don't know if it's because like just the stakes of that or so much higher, you know. Well, anyway, yeah, we ain't got to get into the details of that. But I know what you mean, but I thought they were both good. 1917 is probably my favorite of those of this year's movies so far. Just like, there's multiple points in that movie where I genuinely have no idea how in the fuck they pulled that off. Like, it's absolutely unreal.

I want to go back on something real quick. I never would doubt that Corey has anxiety problems. It's obvious at times, and, you know, I suffer from that. I know Corey does. But I'm curious as to why you think you're sensitive to sensory overload because you, like, sleep with a TV on, you'll play loud music while you watch something. And I'm not saying you don't. Maybe I don't know what that means. I think it's because I control those.

Like, you know what I'm saying? So what's an example of sensory overload that's gotten to you? Well, first off, the very first show that I ever got paid for in New York was that Silent D.O. disco show that me and you and Tim Dillon and Christina did. Yeah. And lit, I'm not kidding. I was getting, I think it was like 75 bucks, which I very much needed. Hell, I needed 20, but they were giving me 75.

And it was the first time I'd ever been in Times Square. And I got off the train and I walked up. And it was like at night in Times Square. And with all the lights and with all the people and with all the horns, I swear to God, I almost texted you and said, dude, tell them, get somebody else and got back on the train and left. like I can't it's it's part of my ADD too like I can't pay attention like this is happening so I'm paying attention to this but this is going on over here and then all the lights are fucking with me and I don't know man but like yeah when I'm at home I can blast loud music and watch TV loud and shit but like I can also turn them off whenever the fuck I want and I chose this shit so I don't know me like I can't go to like when people want to go like Amber sometimes her friends like you know they'll be having birthdays and shit and they'll be like let's go out dance into a club and I'm like ah man I mean I'll go but like I'll go but like Once I get in there and I can't get the bartender's attention for two seconds because it's so loud and I can't hear nobody and I go to the bathroom and I get lost.

And then there's lights and then there's all sorts of people I don't know and they're bumping up against my shoulders and shit. Don't hit for me. I got to I got to leave. I got to go bankrupt with two people and drink whiskey. That feels like it's partially being in public, which is a common anxiety. Yeah, it's a lot of being in public. I don't like when I get. I wouldn't say that I have like sensory overload.

generally speaking, but I don't like big, big crowds of people like that. Like just that experience don't hit for me. I am fine with crowds. I definitely have sensory overload. I have to turn everything down. I can't even face a light. Like I've got to, I can't even face the light. I got to turn away from it.

And, you know, it's noises and brightness and all that. And Andy always says, you're just so sensitive making fun of me when I, you know, tell or to throw, turn the light down, turn the volume down, like, whatever it is. But, yeah, I'm going to remember this, Corey, the next time we're in a car and I ask you guys to fade it to the front and you make fun of me. I'm going to remember all of this. Yeah, well, I guess, I think it's, I get what he's, like, again, he's in control of that. Yeah.

I think his thing is, like, anything that's completely external and outside of his, you know. Right. Like, you guys playing music. music at 87 decibels because you're ruined your ears, listening to headphones your whole life, having a scream conversation about how much crab hits is completely out of my control. Then I try to take back a little bit of control and say, can you guys just fade that to the front? So it's coming out of those speakers. And Corey goes, oh, my God, you don't hit.

You sound just like him. Well, I guess you've kind of said it all in terms of it. I think to me a lot of it is the public and the amount of people. Like, it's the, it's all that plus there's a bunch of people and I get like genuinely scared. If you add marijuana to that mix, bury me. Fuck that. People don't do it, but I genuinely, if, for me and like walls. If someone had to create my version of like the bad place or hell, it would be Times Square on New Year's Eve and I'm like eight times higher than a person should be forever.

Well, being high, that's, yeah, that just changes everything. We relived a story on Into the Abisket podcast. Check out the podcast, Into the Abisket with me and DJ Lewis. We relived a story Dre was on there. And Dre and DJ came up to New York and we went to a music festival. And I'm fine at music festivals, people, all that. But we were walking out of there back to our cars or the bridge or however we were getting off that island. And they were funneling traffic. So what they would do is they would open it up.

We were in like a cattle shoot, you know, just like a four-foot lane. We're all walking one direction, right? And then what I now realize they were doing is they'd let a bunch of people through. Then they would stop them, close the gate, and then let buses through. And they were alternating, which they were doing. You know what, like a red light, but a red light with fences. Well, we're hammered drunk. I'm talking to them, not paying attention.

We're all in this cattle shoot, and we get to the front as the gate is swinging closed. When I say I lost my goddamn mind, Dre still talks about it like, I ain't ever seen nothing like it. I fought the fence. Like the fence was coming. I got out. Like I started free. I was like, what the fuck are you doing? Started pushing the fence back.

These dudes were like, chill out. We got it. I was like, get the fuck out of my way. And shoved this like fence passed. I got out. Dre followed me. We got to the other side. DJ and Andy were just like behind us just staring like, what the fuck?

And Dre was like, I don't know. I just followed you. You got scared. So I got scared. And yeah, I can't handle being closed in. But people don't bother me. That was a nice. week in ravenry right there.

Yeah, that was a right. Yeah. I followed the fence. Yeah. And the fence won. Yeah, right on. Well, I guess it's about that time. I think so.

It is about that time. And in closing, just announced today, uh, June, uh, June 20th, we are going to be at the Pantagas Theater for the Minneapolis Comedy Festival.
