Starting point is 00:00:00 And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because used to you, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It's just like, you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now, skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people, people across the skew universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery,
Starting point is 00:00:45 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,
Starting point is 00:01:05 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.
Starting point is 00:01:24 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.
Starting point is 00:01:54 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,
Starting point is 00:02:10 put your friends' 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.
Starting point is 00:02:32 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.

Starting point is 00:05:21 So we love you and skew. They're the They're the They like Porn bread, but sex They care Way too much But don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:05:34 Next that makes Some people upset But they got Three big old dicks That you can suck Let me tell you what happened So I got Some people that I'm working with
Starting point is 00:05:49 On a thing I've posted about before It's a documentary That I'm doing with these people It's their project I'm just a very ancillary part of it but to show their appreciation for my clearly astounding contributions. They had sent to me a big refrigerated box of barbecue from blacks outside of Austin, Texas.
Starting point is 00:06:08 This is very much an institution in the barbecue world. Oh, okay. Now, actually, that makes way more sense why you decided to do that picture today. No. Because I'm at blacks there. Did you know that? Oh, really? No, I swear to God.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I swear to God, I did not know that. Everybody's just listening on audio and isn't watching. I made my background on Zoom a picture of Corey presenting the camera with some ribs that he really appreciates. But I'm sitting to where he's pointing at me instead of the ribs and it's great. I didn't know, I knew you're at a, I remember you're at a barbecue place in Texas. I did not know you were blacks. And that is not why I did this. That's blacks and Lockhart.
Starting point is 00:06:50 That's kind of crazy. That's a weird quinky dink. But so it had all this meat in it and it's fire. and I've had it in the freezer for a while and I'll, you know, defrost it periodically. And I took out a brisket last week. And on Saturday, I heated this brisket up and slashed it up. And it's a four-pound briskets, big-ass brisket. My son's ain't going to eat it.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Katie's not going to eat much of it. So I was like, I know I'll go drop it off in Drew's mailbox because social distancing and all that. I'll get out of the house for run this little errand and also he'll have some brisket. So I took it over there and I knew he was in the middle of a Zoom. stand-up comedy show at the time, and I was going to leave it outside anyway, so I slept outside and left. I didn't know what happened with it until today
Starting point is 00:07:33 when I found out that Andy retrieved it from outside, and I guess they ate a little bit of it, and then she put it in the oven for storage, but Drew didn't know she put it in the oven, and there it sat until this morning, this is Monday, this was at least two days ago, and
Starting point is 00:07:49 it sat in the oven not with any heat on the whole time. It's just been sitting at room temperature, this oven and this morning Drew got it out and ate an entire piece of it and then bitched about how it had been sitting in the oven and how much that sucked but also he had already eaten it and me and Corey were like you don't you're gonna die that's food poisoning for sure but apparently it's not and I don't understand that but Drew's an old dog it's just it's just so weird to me that Drew can't handle stuff that most people can yet he can
Starting point is 00:08:22 apparently just eat old, rotten pig. Literal garbage. Food that's so old that is now garbage. He can eat garbage, but he can't eat bread or take drugs, you know? Like, he can't have bear or his stomach is
Starting point is 00:08:38 flows. First of all, Andy feels very strongly that I did know it was in the oven that she said, I'm just going to put this in the oven, and I said, yeah, put that in the oven. But I was drunk. So drunk, in but I thought you gave me that on Friday.
Starting point is 00:08:55 No, y'all's show was Saturday, wasn't it? So, two days, I mean, honestly, I'm going to go get it out of trash. Yeah, no, bruh. Nah. Okay. I'm going to go eat more. Do it. Please, please God do it.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Fucking eat all of them. I mean, I really think at this point you would be fine. If you ate a whole piece of it this morning, obviously your stomach is just such that you could. But, like, we were texting earlier about it. It ain't my stomach. Like you think, you seem to think that like food poisoning is, you know, it's like, oh, if you leave something out for two days, it'll give you food poisoning. It's still rare for a variety of reasons.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Number one, that meat is so goddamn cured and salty. The reason you cure meat is to make it last from a time before there was refrigeration. Now, I'm not saying they cure it quite the same way. I'm not ignorant. But I am saying that meat was smoked. That did take care of a lot of it. Then you froze it for months. Well, no, they froze it for the record.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I kept it. But then you got it in your house and you kept it froze. Yes. I'm saying like there are airborne diseases, but that wouldn't happen in my oven. It was wrapped in aluminum foil and my oven is not a place where diseases live because, you know, it is often 500 degrees in there. Okay. Listen, you said I seem to think this. Look, clearly you have an accident.
Starting point is 00:10:20 evidence that you are resistant to such things, but this is not just me. I have had experience with this in my personal life, and it scarred me for life, which is why I don't fuck with that shit anymore, but literally any research you ever look up, listen, bacteria, if you Google, how long can brisket sit out at room temperature? The top response, bacteria grows rapidly at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Beef brisket should be discarded if left out for more than two hours at room temperature. Yeah, especially if it's raw. So two days?
Starting point is 00:10:53 No, that's talking about cooked. That shit got so zapped and then froze. I'm saying, I'm not saying that any of this was justification for me eating it, by the way. I just ate it. I was like, that it'll be fine. Let me have a piece. I'm saying that in terms of the way food poisoning works, it's not a situation where if you leave food out for four hours,
Starting point is 00:11:12 the bacteria that gives you food poisoning will grow on it. It's that it can't. And there are a variety of factors. I just can't believe you wanted it. You should take that risk. Like, you're right. I didn't want it. I was mad that I didn't get a habit.
Starting point is 00:11:27 So then that made me want it. So then I had it. I didn't want it anymore. Now I want it again. This is graphic. I'll eat it right now without cooking. It's in the trash. This is very graphic.
Starting point is 00:11:38 But you could have unprotected sex with somebody you know has AIDS. And you have like a less than. two to three percent chance of getting it. And I think it's actually way less. So it's like one in a hundred. It is. Look it up. That's true. I just look. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:54 How does, apparently nobody knows this because I had the same conversation with my salina boys the other day because they were saying, they were talking about coronavirus. They were talking about Sturgle Simpson had coronavirus, but his wife didn't. She never got it. She was with him the whole time. And my friends were like, how is that even possible that she was with him the whole time and she never got it? And I was like, well, that ain't how viruses work.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I was like any given virus, you've actually got a pretty small percentage chance of catching it. It's just if you expose yourself over and over, you will eventually catch it. And then I told them, it's like AIDS, and they didn't believe me either. But look it up. It's a very small chance of getting it. Buddy, I don't think you're lying to me. That's just crazy a year. They don't mean.
Starting point is 00:12:32 One percent of all. The reason I don't think that number is accurate is because different individuals have a different level of chance of getting it. It's different for me. It's for women. Yes, it's a statistical number, so it takes into account all of that data. And some people are more resistant. Some people are less. Clearly, you're more resistant to these foodborne bacteria is my takeaway. It's not just resistance, though. It's also the way that you fuck, just like it's how the meat was treated before you hate it. I'm 100% serious. I just had a conversation with someone who will not be named about this, who has very, very deep experience with it. It's
Starting point is 00:13:12 Like the part of the reason that the gay community had such a huge AIDS epidemic is that butt sex, it's sometimes you be getting cuts and blood in there. And that is a way more direct way to catch it. But also apparently black women are the highest risk group for getting AIDS. And part of the reason why is women have a higher chance of getting it, period, because, you know, you're getting stuff inside you, like it just stay there. So I'm saying that those numbers, it's not just. just like, oh, some people have more immunity.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Like, there's so many factors. 1% might be the average, but that number seems ridiculously low to me. Right. I guess the thing in my mind is dough, is that even if those numbers were true, I'm still not going to actively, as Trey said so eloquently, raw dog of AIDS butt, which is the equivalent of what you did.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Eating that meat to me was raw dog and a AIDS butt. I did not argue with, a 1% thing just to like, you know, say that I'm right. I just can't believe it's 1% separate from anything. And turn, I didn't raw dog and A's, but I raw dog brisket from blacks. Like, come on now. That's like raw dog. Yeah, I've never ate at A's, but as far as I know, but if it tastes like brisket from blacks, I probably would do it again. So listen, listen. I probably do it 98 times. And again, yes, these are, these are averages, but I mean, that's how statistics work. You're right. For different people have different, like,
Starting point is 00:14:42 like risk factors, but in terms of statistical averages, the average risk of contracting HIV through sharing a needle one time with an HIV positive drug user is 0.67%, which is 1 in 149, or 67 out of every 10,000 exposures. Hang on, for vaginal sex with an HIV positive person, the risk is 1 in 1,250, 0.08% And as for anal sex, the most risky sex act in terms of HIV transmission, if the person with AIDS is the butt and not the dick, if it's AIDS butt, then the chances are, for a single encounter, are 1 in 909 or 0.11% if the person is circumcised. one in 161 or 0.62% if the person is uncircumcised and if it's reversed, if it's an age wainer and a non-age butt, then it is apparently 1.43% or one out of every 70. That's if the guy don't pull out, again, I know it's your graphic.
Starting point is 00:15:59 If the guy pulls out, it's one in 154. So it's under 1%. I'm obviously not going to ask you to repeat those numbers, but I had to put myself on mute and couldn't hear anything after you said, if you're the dick and not the butt, because I was laughing so hard. So just, sorry I went quiet for a second.
Starting point is 00:16:20 I have less than the percentage you just gave me faith in those numbers. How the fuck did they measure that? Look, it's anywhere. I mean, I don't understand why. How would you extrapolate? Like, what?
Starting point is 00:16:38 I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. I don't find it that weird. Any source you look up. There ain't no way ethically to do that study. I mean, it's. There ain't. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:16:52 You can't just be having people. Fuck other people with age. That's not what they're doing. I know. You take people that were sexually active with a partner or whatever. after the fact they know this and you, you know, you, uh, collect data. This was an epidemic lasting decades. There's a shitload of data on the subject.
Starting point is 00:17:15 There is. It doesn't seem that odd. There is, but it's completely relying upon testimony, first of all. Second of all, they don't actually often know exactly when people contracted AIDS. Um, so it's hard to tell you, like, oh, we had sex 400 times. I never got it. Well, maybe 300 of those times. That person wasn't even infected yet.
Starting point is 00:17:35 first of all, second of all, there's a dormant period when you first contract AIDS. And then when you are active, apparently, like, during certain periods of the cycle, look, I'm not, why the fuck are we going to sit here and argue about AIDS? Well, because this is like, this is like some shit. This is like some shit that climate change and ours do, in my opinion, because, like, you think this shit ain't here reviewed repeatedly? Dude, no, this is like an entire, like, community of top level. scientist and researchers have been studying this shit for years and accept this data,
Starting point is 00:18:10 but you're like, no, I don't buy it. I think it's higher than that. It's not that I don't buy it. Here's what, first of all, fuck you. Because that is very insulting because, like, have you ever taken a statistics class? Do you understand what P factors are in 95? Yes, I have. So the reason that that data is the data that they accept is those are the only numbers,
Starting point is 00:18:32 those are the only numbers that they can spit out that they have a 9-11. 95% confidence rate in. Like, I'm certain that there are plenty of studies that are like, you know what, one out of 10 times you're getting fucking AIDS, but I can't say that in a fucking academic paper because this particular study, like, those numbers cannot be right. People wouldn't have AIDS at the rate they got AIDS.
Starting point is 00:18:53 That's just not true. You're underestimating the fuck out of how many people were fucking and using drugs in the 80s, like, and throughout the whole time period, but also, like, That's like there are multiple studies that say climate change is not manmade or that it's false. There's a bunch of them, but there's a million more that say the opposite. First of all, the main difference between that is this is, if I was, to make that analogy,
Starting point is 00:19:17 I would be the one saying climate change is worse than what the scientists are saying. And my argument would be not because they don't want to say it's worse, it's just that they can't figure out the data quick enough to prove it. So that's, first of all, if we're going to use that analogy, what I'm saying is climate changes works. Second of all, what I'm saying is that you can't share a needle 10,000 times. You would die not of AIDS way before that. How's anybody getting AIDS? Okay, but this is just like you with the meat, though. Even though those are the odds, you can still get it from once. You don't have to do it 900 times. I know that. One of these, one of those numbers was
Starting point is 00:19:58 one in 70. Dude, you don't think a game has 70. Yeah, yeah, right. Well, but still, Still, when you take that fraction one in 70, it's less than 1%. But all you got to do is fuck 70 times when you're really playing with fire. That ain't exactly how math works either, but you know what I'm saying. Yes, I do know exactly what you're saying. And that number sounds way more. That's another thing I'm confused about. Well, that was the anal sex number, which is the highest one.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Right. Well, that makes me think that whenever that number was figured out, it was figured out by some scientists who are like, I'm telling you, the gays get it more than us. one in 70 versus one in 10,000 is a ridiculous jump. Right, but it's about how it's, I mean, yeah, but we've always known that it was used as like this witch hunt thing of like, oh, it's only taken out the gays, so just people just didn't give a fuck. That did absolutely happen. But that doesn't make it not true that the most risky form of sex for contracting this is anal sex between two men specifically. I totally by that.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I totally buy everything you're saying. The age is dangerous and I should not have eaten that brisket. I am completely with you. I am saying that I just, I don't believe that it's point oh, whatever for sharing a damn needle. It's higher than that. I mean, I just don't always say a response to that.
Starting point is 00:21:24 There's data out there that supports that, but it's not conclusive enough for anyone to put into an academic paper. Yeah, but that means that the other data is way more statistically significant with its P factor. No, not necessarily. Not necessarily. It's been replicated. Hear me out. The reason is that it's, well, if you err to the low end, you're always going to have more.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Like if something happens four times out of 10, it's very easy to prove that it happens two times out of 10. Well, also listen to this. I know I said a minute ago, this isn't how math. works exactly, but I guess it kind of it, because it's saying like, even though these numbers, you know, even though this means there may be a relatively small chance of acquiring HIV when engaging in a risk behavior once, if repeated many times, the overall likelihood of becoming infected after repeated exposures is actually much higher. And again, every one of these activities is typically repeated, you know, so like, oh yeah, it just, that's the fun part. Well, it's just,
Starting point is 00:22:31 if you were eating, if you were eating trash brisket every day or as often as, you, you know, somebody else is fucking a butt. That's a lot of trash brisketes. And before too long, you're going to get sick, but you could have from just the first time. Yeah, right? I mean, I know that. That's why I don't stay eating trash brisket.
Starting point is 00:22:48 I mean, my plan was to heat it up the next morning. Right. And then I got drunk, and apparently I hit it from myself. I thought she hit it from you, but you were. But apparently she was like, I'm putting this. Yes, I was an accessory. to the brisket murder. Oh, that's a shame.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Yeah. Well, that's another thing on that note, and I texted y'all this earlier, but just for the podcast audience, the reason I brought that up there, you know, was to be a good neighbor. Wait, what percentage did you say about Sharon Needle? Here we go.
Starting point is 00:23:24 No, I think I misheard you. You said one in 10,000. It wasn't that. The CDC estimates that 63 out of every 10,000, exposures to infected Sherry. The number I got is 67, and I didn't bring that up to our, argue with you. I misheard you, I think, earlier. It's one out of ever 149. I heard you as
Starting point is 00:23:44 one out of every something thousands. Well, I said, I said the hundred and then I said the thousand back to back. So it's just, I threw out a lot of numbers at once, but what I was, that ain't ever a good idea. Yeah, but what I was about to say to everybody is that I was sitting there that night with all this brisket and I was like, and I had this real problem. I don't if y'all have this, but like, I've always had this issue, and I'm not just making an excuse for being a fat fuck, although it is a convenient one. I had this real issue with the idea of, like, wasting food. I've always been that way. Like, I don't like the notion of, like, food that hits, especially, getting thrown away. Absolutely. Don't hit for me. And I was looking at all this
Starting point is 00:24:27 brisket, and I was like, I don't know if I alone can get through all this in a couple days. I still have a good time that you could have, by the way. I definitely could have. Like I was telling you, I have this thing where, like, I tire of a particular hit, and I need to circle back to something else and then, like, I can't, it was fire, but I don't know that I could have eaten it every day for four days. Yeah, I don't do that. I know you don't. You do the opposite.
Starting point is 00:24:53 You find something that hits. I binge hit. Go in on it until you can't no more. And then that's that. But anyway, so I was sitting there and I was like, I don't know if I can get through all this before it goes bad. So I know what I'll do. so it doesn't go to waste or have to be eaten after, you know, like a danger period,
Starting point is 00:25:13 I'll take it to Drew and then come to find out both those things happen, which is just as raven as it gets. So unfortunate, especially because it was blacks, man. That shit really is absolutely. I'll eat it right now. I hope you go get it and eat it on the fucking podcast. It's on the video portion. You're rancid almost.
Starting point is 00:25:33 It's turned to horse now. It's now hoarse. Well, I want you all to know when I ate it. I thought it was Friday. Yeah, so that would have been worked. I just went back and checked my phone to make sure. And it was Saturday. Like, I kind of want to get out of trash now.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Yeah, now it's been in the trash with all the other. Go get the fucking brisket. Be a man. So I thought I was going to get Drew on this point because I just assumed that there's no way he could have experienced it too and still feel this way. But his circumstances were a little different. But I used to, I'm a trash person. I used to think all this was bullshit It's not even that I thought it
Starting point is 00:26:10 I was just like Ah fuck it it's fine That's how I always What do you think was bullshit Food poisoning? I didn't have said I thought it was bullshit I didn't think about it at all If something had been sitting out for a while
Starting point is 00:26:23 My fat fuck ass I'm talking about as a kid up until I think this happened when I was about 16 or 17 years old I would just be like Oh still hits and just eat it And give no second thought to it And then one day I ate of pizza at like two or three in the afternoon that had been cooked the night before and just
Starting point is 00:26:42 sat out on the oven since then and didn't think nothing of it. And I got food poisoning from that, and that's literally the sickest I've ever been in my life. It lasted about 12 to 14 hours, but that period of time is the sickest period of time in my entire life on this planet. it was horrific. And ever since then, I have taken it very, very seriously.
Starting point is 00:27:10 And I just don't fuck around with that type of thing at all. What was on the pizza? It had mushrooms on it. And I think that was, I think the mushrooms were the main. It didn't just have mushrooms for a room. I say that because. I say that.
Starting point is 00:27:24 But me said he's had it before. He's had food poison before. They had meat on it? Yeah, it had like, yeah, pepper. I think it was pepperoni and mushroom. because I eat, dude, I eat leftover, that kind of scares me because I eat leftover fucking cold pizza that's been sitting on the fucking counter like what you just described literally all the time. And that's never happened to me. But now I know that it will next time I do it at 100%.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I guess I just won't do that. But I don't know, because I like leftover cold pizza. I like leftover cold pizza too. But I should say this is at my buddy Cory Barlow's house. and it's possible he definitely told me it was cooked the night before it's possible that it was too nice before you know what I mean right right right right thing because I didn't and maybe old it was at least a day old at least and it fucked me up well I got it from as fresh as McDonald's can be you know I order McDonald's and ate it and kept driving on my way to see my college girlfriend
Starting point is 00:28:30 and puked all night. And it was definitely food poisoning. Maybe I'm like skewed because it's like, well, hell. You could get it either way. I'm going to get it anyway. Right, right. Might as well eat this fucking brisket. Yeah, I've had it before and I can't.
Starting point is 00:28:48 And this is weird because I think usually you remember very specifically the thing that you got food poisoning off of and you just can't ever eat that thing again. Like a lot of people are like that. But I think what happened to me was it was a day. where there's no way for me to have pinpointed what it could have been because I ate so much, like so many different things. You know what I'm saying? Like it was one of them tastes where I was just eating everything. I'm like, dude, it could have literally been anything.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Who fucking knows. And it is horrible and it does not hit. And I'm like one of my biggest fears in the world because I'm white and everything's fine is that oysters are going to do it to me one day because that's my favorite thing in the world. and that just seems like a real easy one to happen and every time I eat oysters I get this feeling in my stomach like please don't do it, don't do it, don't do it
Starting point is 00:29:36 because I know I won't be able to go back so how long, my question, how long did you have to hold off on pizza after that? Was it a while? Less than a week, probably. You kidding me? Pizza hits too hard. I agree. I knew, I very, very much knew
Starting point is 00:29:54 because like, a, so it's like I didn't even know that was a thing or, again, just didn't care or skeptical or whatever until it happened. But after it happened, I knew I was like, that happened because it was old and had been sitting out at room temperature and not refrigerated for X amount of time. So I never blamed pizza specifically for it. I knew it was the circumstances. If I ate fresh oysters and I got food poison from it, I would not eat oysters anymore for at least a while. I don't think I would either. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:30:26 I didn't eat sushi ever. First time I ever ate sushi in my life, I was immediately enamored by it. And I was on a cruise ship, and I just housed a fuck ton of sushi and got real drunk. And that night, and then we went back to the room, and I fell asleep and woke up hour, hour and a half later. Booze sick, boat sick, and fish sick all at once. and funny, I kept fucking with booze and boats, but I quit the, again, this is too hard, but I quit, I wouldn't, I didn't eat sushi again for a long time,
Starting point is 00:31:06 and I'll eat it now, but to this day, I don't, I don't really fuck with sushi like most people do. Well, you had done the booze in the boats before. Yes, right, yeah. And I tasted the sushi, you know what I mean? Yeah, and that's another, that's another one for me too, because I love, of sashimi and every single time I eat it, I'm like, it's going to do it and I ain't going to enjoy it anymore.
Starting point is 00:31:28 We used to eat frozen pot pies, chicken pop pies when I was little. And one time I was hit. Banquet. Yep. I got two of those for Benton last week. He fucking loved them. I wouldn't come in. I was playing with my neighbors and I just wouldn't come in.
Starting point is 00:31:42 My dad wasn't home. So mom was like fretting to whip me, but I didn't care. So I finally came in and my dinner was cold and she made me eat it. And that shit had congealed. And it was, it was the gross. I puked. back into the plate and my mama cried. And then I couldn't eat a pot pie.
Starting point is 00:31:59 I don't know if I've ever had one again. Maybe like a restaurant one if they got a special, but that's totally different, you know? I don't think I've eaten a pot pie since then. I've never walked by a pot pie. Are you in the sentence right there? Yeah, right. Yeah, you're done.
Starting point is 00:32:16 If there's a pop pie situation happening, it's about to go down. We've talked about before, but I do not. It sincerely blows my mind that meat pies are not more of a thing in this country. America is so fat, dumb, and don't hit, and it's like, it just seems like such a, and chicken pot pies do hit, but they're not really that prevalent. It's not like every restaurant automatically, they're not a standard. No, they're not.
Starting point is 00:32:43 But they do hit, and they're like the only one we fuck with. There's so many other meat pies that other cultures have that are flames, and we just don't really fuck with them in this country. I don't understand it. I mean, that's, you know. I mean, I'm kind of glad to keep a lot of their food stuff. Their food stuff mostly sucks. But it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I think chicken pop pies different, though, because, like, I love meat pies. And I love meat pies across the board. I love them Indian meat pies. Those fucking meat samosis. Yeah, oh, dude. Just some lamb at that bitch. Anyway, it was just the chicken ones. I love, there's a new, God damn it, what's it called?
Starting point is 00:33:23 I can't remember what it's called, but it's in Athens, Georgia. It's the only meat pie place that I know of, and it's right beside the stadium. And yeah, that's what's up. They do, like, the whole combo situation, like you get three different little meat pies for one price. That's the shit. And I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Because, dude, all that is is an actual hot pocket. And hot pockets are fucking popular. So, like, why is it there a restaurant that just does hot pocket? It's very weird. It's generally weird. It's not more of a thing. They got one in Britain. that is big as hell.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I saw this on my new show I'm watching. I got real into that great British bake-off. You said it hits, right? It hits so hard. I'm going to start watching that. It's just a warm blanket of a show. It hits. But anyway, I saw on there,
Starting point is 00:34:07 they got this one meat pot that's like, goddamn 18 inches long like the size of a big-ass sub. And it split in the middle to where one half of it is savory and the other half is sweet. So you got like your lunch and your dessert and the same thing. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:34:22 make a hit. So, yeah, why don't we have that? I know. That didn't make sense. Deprive Well Red Nation from this. So I want you guys to know what's about to happen as soon as this podcast is over. I've been looking into it here. If you boil meat, it will kill all of the bacteria that's on it except for spores that produced
Starting point is 00:34:46 the toxin botulism, which is one of the most common types. of food poison. But if you boil it, it'll kill all the botulism on it. But then those spores, as soon as it cools back down, they'll fire back up. So I just got to heat this shit up in a broth to a boil
Starting point is 00:35:06 and then eat it real quick for it cooled down. I was about to say, though, that if you ball it, it'll take away at least some of the hits, I think. Well, I'm going to boil it in a broth and it's brisket. got that fat. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:24 It's a new hit, I think. It's a stopping hit. I don't think that it won't hit because what I did. No, I think it'll hit. It just won't hit as hard. What I did when I heated the brisket up to keep it from drying out in the oven, I put some beef, beef broth in the bottom of the roasting pan, and I tinted it with foil, and it worked perfectly.
Starting point is 00:35:45 But then when I put, then I dumped all that in Tupperware container of the leftovers, including the broth, like at the bottom, right? And when I hated it all back up. up, I did it with the broth. And I didn't boil it in that, but I'm saying it was like, it was an extra hit that was added to it, I guess is all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:36:03 That like brisket broth along with the brisket. I literally drank that when I was. I think you just need to go get some brisket and start over. No, eat the trash brisket. It ain't about that. It ain't about that. It's about Trey trying to blame me for ruining his brisket. No, we're blind.
Starting point is 00:36:22 No, we think it's Andy's fault. We're not mad. Dude, we don't, buddy, we're not blamed. I didn't know this. She gets genuinely furious about me at me when I lie about her on the podcast. Even if it's like the dumb lie, like I'm like, she don't ever cook. She gets like legitimately mad. She's like, these people think I don't cook and I do fucking cook.
Starting point is 00:36:41 And I'm like, yeah, you do cook. It's not as much as me. It's just like a funny thing to say, no, fuck you. And it's like, all right. I genuinely. Amber hates when I tell the truth about her on here. Right. It is genuinely very worth it to me that we got this segment and story out of what happened with the brisket. Like, it's very much a tryoff.
Starting point is 00:37:00 I'm going to turn it into a broth. I'm going to put my leftover biscuits that also have set out all day to day and yesterday. When did I make those biscuits? Now, like, biscuits. That's why I didn't eat leftover shit, son. I know now what happened. It's all coming together. I made biscuits and gravy yesterday with fried chicken. And I had to clear out the oven. And I did see it when I did that. And I set it up there, but I was stoned at the time.
Starting point is 00:37:29 And when I threw it away today, when I saw it, I was like, damn, that Indian bread, because we had Indian fried ass. Damn, that Indian bread has been on a stove a while. I can't believe Andy ain't ate that. Nan. She loves that stuff. And then I was like, oh, shit, that's brisket. I erased my food self because I made fried chicken and bids. and gravy.
Starting point is 00:37:48 You'll have that. By the way, I've gained 47 pounds. Yeah. It's bad over here, man. The biscuits and, like, breads and cakes and shit like that, they just get, like, stale mostly, right? Yeah, that's fine. They can sit out and it won't, like, pausing you.
Starting point is 00:38:03 But their bacteria is what you eat. That's what you're into. That's what you want. It makes you drunk, worst case scenario. Um, uh, fuck. What was like, oh, you talk about Andy and telling lies. this is not a lie, I don't think it's true. You told the story on a live show we did,
Starting point is 00:38:24 a live Q&A show we did, to benefit comedy club staff, but we haven't told it on here. What do you think about telling the story of a gopher on here? Please, please, place, place, place, please. It's a true story. You know, in a lot of ways it goes with the brisket story.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Andy, she came back in the middle of our podcast. So are you sure we didn't tell it on the podcast? No, maybe I'm wrong. Was that on here? I thought it was on the Q&A thing. That was during the Q&A. Yeah. I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I'm pretty sure, too. But I mean, I'm not going to be wrong. God damn, all the days and events are running together, but I'm 99% sure that was just y'all. Okay. That Q&A was at 5.30. Our time, right? It was night time when the Gopher's situation happened.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Okay. Oh, you might be right. It might have been that we did one Sunday night last week. Yeah, man, everything is kind of running together. And the reason I said that's related to the Will Red fans. The reason I said that's related is she tries to save gophers by putting them in the freezer and save brisket by putting in an oven. She don't know how to save stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:33 No. But yeah, if that don't make no sense to y'all what Drew just said, but tell us next week he'll tell the story. But if that was on the podcast, we obviously don't need to tell the whole story again. And I can't remember because we all. we all dumb and time what is times a construct okay go ahead be honest with me please um so right now because of well i mean i'm going to blame it on quarantine but it's just because i have no control over i have no self-control whatsoever i'm currently only about six
Starting point is 00:40:09 pounds away from how fat I was in the picture that is behind you. But, honest to God, do I look that fat? Like, I feel like my face looks way fatter in that. How is that? But what am I doing now that's? What kind of, why am I a different fat? I think, I've always thought there's like thresholds of where the fat go. My fat goes to my belly first.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Right. It always has. It always does. Only a couple times in my life have I gotten so fat that other places got. fat and so I'm saying maybe your threshold Corey is like two pounds from now and then the third pound is going to go to his face well I guess but I don't know my face is still plenty of fat in that picture too my do my arms look fat look fat look how big now my belly is big but that belly is it's it's you also look like I feel like you look like you got tities in that picture
Starting point is 00:41:03 I do look like I have tities in that picture I mean dude my I've got a belly but this is just kind of that round little beer thing. That right there, in that, I look fat all the way down. You do. And, dude, my fucking... It's your face. You even have a fat chance. Somehow.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I've got a... It's weird because it's like I've got a... The butt chin thing still, but it's like it's just been all pushed together. Just like, that's when so many mammals just kind of... But I'm just, I look so, like, and look how much I'm trying to act like I'm having a good time with them ribs, too. Are you in better shape otherwise now? Perhaps it's like a muscle tone thing?
Starting point is 00:41:43 Maybe because I walk a lot. Like every day, even though I've been being- Did you walk a lot back then? Wait, did you paint back then? No, that was right. Dude, you know when that that right there, I had just turned 22 the year that- I love 22.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Baby fat. That's just the baby fat. Because listen, when I turned, the day I turned 21, I looked fine. And I, like, the year 21, buddy, I really, I mean, I was drinking Yeager and beer every day eating fucking pizza. So like that, yeah, it is a rough 22. But no, I didn't walk to the bar. I walked to the, I was hung over every goddamn day. But, like, nowadays, even when I am hung over, like, I still, especially during this quarantine, I've had a decent.
Starting point is 00:42:35 pace walked about two, at least two hours a day, because that's when I'll just, I'll listen to my podcast and I'm like, hey, you don't get to come inside until you're finished with this. That's at least your exercise today. So maybe my legs have more muscle tons, but I don't know, dude, like, just looking at that picture and knowing that I'm actually close to that, I'm like, fucking how. I feel like, I feel so bad right now. I turn 21 now, listen, doing life, eating rolls. I knew it's going to have rolls in it. And buddy, it did. It was just, be hungover every day and so eating nothing but carbs and then drinking nothing but carbs. Mama fried. Mama fried. Mama fried. Mama fried me up some chicken. Yeah, it is. Trey, you look very shocked
Starting point is 00:43:19 that I was 22 there. Well, I don't know why because I mean, I would, if you had said, guess how old I am just because of how long I've been knowing you and how old you were when I met you and whatever, I would have known you were around that, but it's still shocking to hear. We've talked about meeting him. No, I know, yeah. He was such a bald, drunk, bitter bag of shit. Truck driver, man. I thought this fucking road dog has seen it all.
Starting point is 00:43:47 And part of that, to your credit, Corey, was how funny you were. But part of that also was like you were fat and bitter. Yeah, yeah. You hated your girlfriend, who I was pretty certain you were going to marry. Yeah. I thought you were a 40-year-old man. Yeah, man. I did too.
Starting point is 00:44:03 No, it was a, I was not a, it wasn't a good time. I wasn't doing real well at all. But you went through it. Maybe what it is now is you're a mamaw. Yeah. Like you're, you've always been older for your age and now you, now you're a mammal fat. That's why it's all smooth now.
Starting point is 00:44:20 I guess. Memo fat's a different fat. Mammals look better fat. My mom lost a bunch of weight for health reasons and aged 10 years. Yeah, my, I am starting to get the, uh, the arm goozle. Well, let's take a bunch of weight. break for a second to talk about maybe how it was that I got fat. I can tell you, for one thing, it was because when I was growing up, cereal was probably the best part of being a kid. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I loved going down the aisles and seeing all the colors and seeing all the cartoon characters. Like, Mom, I got to get that one to fruit. Let's got a toucan on it. That's crazy. I want that one. And I got older and I realized that like, Jesus Christ, this is just full of sugar and junk that I really just shouldn't eat. I mean, that didn't stop me from eating it. I kept eating it, but it definitely didn't stop me from not getting really super fat. So I've been trying my best to cut down on the carbs and the sugar and the unhealthy food. And I realized that I basically just can't eat shit, nothing that tastes good, at least. But that's just not the case now, thanks to Magic Spoon.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Magic Spoon is a tremendous cereal that has zero sugar, 12 grams of protein, by the way, if you're trying to get a pump on, and only three net grams of carbs in each serving. They have four flavors, cocoa, fruity, frosty, frost. and blueberry. It tastes amazing. Honest to God, too good to be true. Matter of fact, before I recorded this, I had me some of the fruity, and it's like a cross between fruit loops and the fruity pebbles, which was two of the goats, in my opinion, when I was a kid, and it was tremendous. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's keto-friendly, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, just free. It's so free. It's just so free. It's low-carb and GMO-free. Again, like I said, my favorite,
Starting point is 00:46:00 I love them all, but I'm going to have to go with my favorite being fruity right now. Of course, I'm kind of a bingey type dude. I'm probably going to eat the entire box of fruity and then get a several more of those and be like, okay, you've had enough fruity, probably go on to the cocoa, but they're all great, all tremendous.

Starting point is 00:49:23 That's Foxworthy, right? Holy backflap. for grandma? Probably. Box really had a joke about your grandma starting her flaps when she went like that. It looked like the Batman Simper. My granny, it used to, she knew that it hit for me, and she was so sweet. It also hit for her that if I was ever in a bad mood, she'd just stick her arm up,
Starting point is 00:49:41 and I just beat her fucking arm fat like I was doing the speed bag. That's so cute. I know, and she'd smile at me. She's like, Eric, you don't flap my arm, and I just like a fucking cat. Little chow in a tantrum. I was like 20. Right, yeah. Little show, it was right before that picture.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Yeah. I want, this is not at all related. It's just a random thing I've been wanting to ask y'all about on here. What y'all know about dousing rods or divining rods? One of the two, y'all know anything about those? I don't know anything about them other than, dude, this is really funny, about once every six to seven months, and usually when I'm watching,
Starting point is 00:50:30 like I'll watch like some old Bugs Bunny or something like that, once every six to seven months, I think to myself, I'd like to learn more about divining rides, and I never do. Is that how you find water? Yes. That's why, because on Bugs Bunny,
Starting point is 00:50:44 they have the stick and I see that, and I'm like, I want to know what that is. But here's the thing, Drew, what they are, all they are, is it's like a fork-shaped, stick and now they have more like modern dowsing rods that are made out different materials or metal or whatever but back in the day it was just a fork-shaped stick you hold it by the forks to where the straight end is out in front of you and you walk around in an area where you're trying
Starting point is 00:51:10 to find a place to make a well or just a water source and you just walk around and when the stick starts shaking it's like uh you know it's like a radar situation or like a marco-pile thing you know what where it starts shaking and that's how you divine the source of the water. No, of course it's not. That's why I brought it up. Like, no. Wait, why? It's not. I thought it might be gravity or some shit. No. What is it basically? Once your arms get tired, it'll start shaking and it turns out there's been water everywhere. It's like, it's very much a pseudoscience. And it's like to me, like clearly it is. But also like there's been a lot of, there's been a lot of scientific studies on it. There's never, it's never been, you know, corroborated, like reliably.
Starting point is 00:51:55 There's no scientific reason to believe that it actually, like, works. But so many people, it was like one of those old things that, like, people still just very much think that it does, like, me and Katie were watching a show, and it's about, it was about magicians, right? And there's a magician and he uses one. And so I'm like, oh, well, that's fine, because he's a magician. But I asked Katie, but it made me think of them. So I looked it up.
Starting point is 00:52:19 And I found all this stuff. and I found that like a lot of people still use them. And I'm in like water professionals. Like here's an article from 2017 and this is from the UK. It says UK water companies sometimes use dowsing rods to find pipes. They're pipes that are buried if they don't have exact location for them. And they, this reporter asked the like, you know, head of this regional water and sewer utility if this was true.
Starting point is 00:52:47 And he said it was true. but he said their technicians only use dousing rods, quote, if they need to. And further, they are only used to detect pipework and voids that may be caused by burst or collapses. So it's like, I don't know, that response is funny to me because it's almost like they know that it's a thing that they might not should be doing, but then they justify it by saying, it's like, look, we only use them sometimes and only are really serious scenarios, as though that makes any difference. I'm not trying to overly shit on this practice or nothing.
Starting point is 00:53:22 I don't think there's any harm in it. I just find it odd that it's still like a thing. And when I asked Katie, I read that and I was like laughing, I was like, man, it's wild. And I said, Katie, what do you know about Dowsing Rod? And she was like, yeah, you use them to find whales. And I was like, yeah, but like clearly that don't work though.
Starting point is 00:53:44 And she was like, what do you mean? It's like, my daddy used to do that all the time. of course it works. It's just like taken for granted that it's like a thing amongst people who have a reason to use them, but like it's clearly not a real thing. I thought it was a thing. Like I believe you that it's not. I very much thought it was the thing.
Starting point is 00:54:03 I absolutely did. The explanation was, you know, like I said, had something to do with gravity or some shit. I mean, that's 100% what I thought because I was like, because I knew that they still use them. I was like, all right, well, clearly they were. my brain can't wrap around that, but I also can't explain Wi-Fi, so who fucking knows? Yeah, I mean, according to you, science,
Starting point is 00:54:24 don't know how AIDS works. They're like, what are we supposed to believe? No. But the gravity thing would make sense on account of, wait, no, it wouldn't. That's oceans. No, it's the same thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:34 They're all, I mean, they're called divining rods or witching rods, depending on where you're at, and those words mean, magic. What does dowsing mean? That I don't,
Starting point is 00:54:44 that I don't know. So that means when somebody throws water on. you. Yeah, that's what I thought. Water rod. That old boy, you've got a water stick. I think that literally, that is why they're called that. As far as I can tell, like, the reason they, but the procedure is called dowsing. It's like, dowsing is a, and I'm assuming they're called, it's called that for what the reason you all just said. So why, why is there this placebo effect? Why do people just start shaking for no reason?
Starting point is 00:55:13 Oh, that's the ideometer. I just found that. Hold on. Ideo motor response. The ideotor motor phenomenon is a psychological phenomenon where in a subject makes motions unconsciously and less complex terms. Dowsing rods only moved due to accidental or involuntary movements of the user. I actually have a little bit of experience with this
Starting point is 00:55:34 back when I was smoking a lot of weed in my early 20s when I first got into weed, me and my cousin Trey, because we got into like. Ouija boards? No, like telekinesis, right? Hell yeah, bro. No, I'm with it. You could, there were like little things you could make.
Starting point is 00:55:53 They're like trying to use the force. Procedures you could do to like, so you would like put a weight on the end of a long string and hold it down in front of you and not move your hand at all. And everybody's watching it. It's like you're not, you know, your hand's not moving. Your hand doesn't move at all. But you could put a pattern underneath it, like a triangle or whatever. And make the weight trace.
Starting point is 00:56:16 the whatever pattern and then switch it up and all this while people confirm that your hand isn't moving at all. But like it, of course it is. It's just moving on like such a, you know, minute level. Like, you know what I mean? It's like really, really small. Because of fucking weight all the way at the end of the string, you don't have to exert much force to get it to move. It was like shit like that. And dowsing rods is apparently a similar thing. That's what you're doing when you's high. Yeah. Okay. But okay, but my question is I get there. faking the shake or whatever, but then like sometimes it just happens to be that there just was water under there? I mean, yeah. According to this set, Wikipedia says dowsing is considered
Starting point is 00:56:56 a pseudo-science. There is no scientific evidence that it is any more effective than random chance. Dousers often achieve good results because random chance has a high probability of finding water in a favorable terrain. Like you said, it's just water everywhere. That was what I'm saying. Yeah, the earth is 75% water, so if you go out, there's a good chance. I mean, make that right? I think it is, because that's the oceans. Right, yeah, but it's under there, too.
Starting point is 00:57:24 We got water under air. That's true. We've got water under air. Corey, you watch Lost, didn't you? Yes, I did. I did not. Faraday was, it turned out to be a pointless character, but it seemed like he was going to be like the key.
Starting point is 00:57:41 It was a little bitch, right? Yeah, he was a little bitch. Yeah. He's named after a scientist named Michael Faraday, who I was just reading about because Michael Faraday had a lot of weird thoughts in relation to, I can't say it right, ideometer or whatever movement, Trey. And, yeah, I don't know if it had to pass.
Starting point is 00:58:04 And Dowsing, Rods. He was trying to prove him right. And Faraday, now that might make you think he's a quack, but this is also the same dude who helped, he was one of the main founders. of electromagnetism and electrochemical studies. He, his discoveries include the principles underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and electrolysis.
Starting point is 00:58:29 So I guess in my brain, I guess to defend myself here, not unlike Faraday, it's like, look, sometimes shit be doing stuff we can't see, and there's a perfectly reasonable scientific explanation for it. Yeah. This guy was right. It looks like three out of probably thousands of times and is one of like the founding fathers of electrosciences.
Starting point is 00:58:52 But, you know, the rest of the times, he was like, yeah, dowsing rods. It probably works. Well, apparently there's been multiple attempts at developing ones for use with metals and those were deployed as uses or for the purposes of finding explosive devices. It's like landmines and shit. And it's like, that seems like a real bad idea. And apparently it is. All the stuff on Wikipedia is all talking about how they've never any.
Starting point is 00:59:25 There's four different examples of things I'm talking about that have been tried at different times. And none of them have ever been found to work. But like, I just feel like if I was a bomb man and we got one of these new devices and it's like a dowsing ride. But for something that'll explode you. Yeah. Like I just, I don't think I'd do that. Uh-uh. but you know superstition wild but it's one of them things that like
Starting point is 00:59:48 I knew what they were when I was a kid and I didn't really question it I was like that's weird but okay you know and then I like got reminded of it again later in life and thought about it was like no that's real fucking weird and then I looked it up and it's still and it's still a thing today I only knew about it because like I said about bugs bunny and stuff and I would see it in like when it was like a Yosemite Sam centric episode or something like that and there'd be somebody out in the out in the desert or whatever and they'd have just a regular stick that was shaped like a tuning fort and then they would do that and that would happen and as it got older I remembered that shit but I was like yeah that was just
Starting point is 01:00:27 one of them dumb things that they thought but clearly ain't a thing and then I realized that there was still people that be doing that today and again once every six to seven months I was like I'm gonna look further into that but I never did so that is fucking crazy um What an interesting subcultural morons. To talk about political shit just a little bit, I guess, unless any one of y'all has another topic. No, go ahead. No, that's fine.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Well, I think about these protests that are happening. Don't hit. Don't hit. All right. Next up, they see parrots that name themselves. I thought that was wild. What named themselves? Parrots, green-rumped parrots.
Starting point is 01:01:10 They like name themselves. with like clicks and sounds. Here, I'll say something else about the protest real quick. No, no, parrots. I was just trying to hit just now. This is an actual subject that I have on my little list, these green rump parrots, but I just thought it'd be funny to say.
Starting point is 01:01:24 They named themselves? Yes, we can circle back to that, baby, if you want to. I don't have a long thought. DJ said something interesting. He said that he thinks those are the weakest people among us, mentally. There's full fucking bitches. I know that.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Right, well, that's part of it in week. It's like the more I thought about it, the more I think he's right. And then the other thing he said, though, which I thought was interesting, was he said he gets it. He was like, I don't agree with it, and I'm not happy about it, and I'm not saying it's okay, but like I understand it. Like, you're scared and you're mad. For the record, for the record, anybody right now who is protesting on account of
Starting point is 01:02:04 they desperately want to, they want and need to go back to work, yes, I get it. And I'm not going to shit on those people, even though I know that it's, you know, it's still unsafe and I do think we should stay in. I will never shit on someone who is like, look, man, I'm going to lose my fucking house. I can't do this. I got to go back to work. What I'm talking about is this dude who was like literally almost in tears because he couldn't
Starting point is 01:02:27 go to the goddamn hardware store and get fertilizer for his ferns or some shit like that. And these women who were talking about we went to be able to go to the mall and we want to go to the bone alley. Those fucking people are weak. Those are the people I'm shitting on, not somebody who's trying to go out there and earn. So just to clarify. I can't help but think that the more legitimate ones that you just talked about are got to be in the extreme minority among these protesters, don't you all think? Oh, they are, but I don't.
Starting point is 01:02:56 Or they're just my own biases. No, they definitely are. I mean, but I don't think, for what it's worth, I don't want to speak for him. But I don't think DJ was seeing much of a difference. He obviously sees the difference in their life, and therefore you can identify with a person's life who's struggling more than you can, someone who just wants to go to the fucking mall. But I think what he's saying is that because they're weak people and they think going to
Starting point is 01:03:19 the mall is super goddamn impudent, you know, they just want something to believe in. They're still bored, you know, they're just out there. They're masking it as a constitutional thing, which is hilarious. Like they just, they want to go to the mall, but their whole argument is that we're in police state right now and we're being held hostage. And some people are even doing it. and the whole like my body, my shoulder. I know.
Starting point is 01:03:46 That's not the only, man. Those people sincerely, I could see, I could see that being like maybe sort of like a, that was only like 10 of those, but the pictures got shared around a lot. Like, so I'm not going to say that was a lot of people. But that's still, whether they put it on a sign or not, that's still like an inherent part of the argument they're making,
Starting point is 01:04:06 which is ironic. The other thing that's ironic is that they're railing against state's rights right now. You know what I mean? Like the federal government of Donald Trump and the fucking king says that this shouldn't be happening, but it's the states who are, you know, enforcing it. So they're out here saying like,
Starting point is 01:04:25 states shouldn't be able to decide what they want to do. That's bullshit. Yeah. This is the state rights people, along with my body, my choice. I swear to God, I feel like these people can never do anything that isn't some level of hypocritical. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Yeah. And stupid. What's so, man, my mic keeps fucking up somehow. What's something, though, is that,
Starting point is 01:04:49 uh, am I going in and out? No. Very weird. I, I mean, I can tell me my mic keeps changing.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Anyway, you're fine. You're fine. What's so wild about that, or not wild, um, the problem with that, though,
Starting point is 01:05:01 they've been hypocritical forever. They don't care. That's, that's like the secret. Right. To, like, republicanism in America right now.
Starting point is 01:05:08 It's just, don't own up to being hypocrite. don't apologize for being a hypocrite and don't give a fuck about being hypocrite because these are the same people who tell Black Lives Matter protesters that they have right and you just got to learn how to do what you're told and everything will be fine if you just be polite and do what you're asked yep yeah you're right that's yes that's another you know part of that's another hypocritical aspect of it yes so you know black Lives Matter protests if you weren't committing a crime if you weren't committing a crime
Starting point is 01:05:40 none of that would ever happen to you. Right. Yeah, they, yeah. I want to show, sorry. No, no, go ahead. When it becomes a crime to go bowling, all of a sudden, everybody's a fucking, you know, wants to live outside the law.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Right. Eating skittles in a hoodie. Well, that's not something I like doing. So it's fine that poor little boy got shot. Right. What were you about to say? This is a very, very stark subject change. Okay, well, so we'll just sum it up
Starting point is 01:06:08 by circling back to Cores original point. Don't hit. All right. Moving on. No, don't hit. I want to show you all this. I'm trying to decide what order to do it in.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Andy got a wood burner. Is that a fire? It's like a little rod and you can carve stuff in the wood by burning it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Can't really see it. Oh, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:06:39 She made that tree. she made that tree I'm like god damn you've never done it before and you're just immediately fucking you know not a Picasso but really I could never do that I don't know if you ever fucked with them it's hard
Starting point is 01:06:51 and I was like damn and then she showed it to me and I looked at it and then this is the backside yeah oh it kind of looks like I don't I've never I don't know how the person who did this
Starting point is 01:07:05 did that yes right you know what that looks like. On the same day. Show me show it again. You know what that looks like? Hold it up again. The back. That literally looks like the kid's name from Toy Story on the bottom of his boot. And his name is Andy. She wrote Andy. She did write Andy.
Starting point is 01:07:24 She did write Andy. Yeah. But then she also made a tree. But then, but look at the tree though. No, I don't. But that hits, that looks like a fucking tree stamp. Yeah, that does hit. I just, just, Just on a human level, I don't understand how anybody can be this bad at trees and in this good of trees the next try. Well, you know, practice, Drew. That ain't practiced.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Do what it wants. Well, it blew my ears. Well, I mean, if she was like, if she did it and was like, well, this don't hit, and then she just did the opposite of that, which would be to hit. Maybe. Tell the show us all. Do the opposite of the shitty. This time I'll do the opposite of bad.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Yeah. Maybe that'll work. Yeah. Let's just do the stuff that hits. That's what I always say. I don't know. Maybe I'm too... And not do the stuff that don't hit, you know?
Starting point is 01:08:19 Maybe I'm taking too many edibles, but that blew my mind. And I got saw the good one first. Maybe I should have showed y'all the bad one. And like, I don't think the screen's doing it justice. There's like chunks of wood missing. Like, she sucked at it. And then she was really good immediately. She can't draw a tree.
Starting point is 01:08:36 She can't store meat? What the fuck can she do? Can't save a gopher's life. She can draw. She can draw a tree. Maybe if she tried to save another gopher's life, she just needs two tries at everything. Trey, you send me another brisket, and then we're going to go hurt another gopher. That'll hit. Well, I mean, it's about that time, unless somebody has any parting thoughts.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Farting, paulth, what were you saying when we were doing Tiger by the tail? You kept saying part, it was it? Thoughting parts. I kept saying thoughting parts. I kept saying thoughting parts. every time I ask the guess that they have parting thoughts. I don't know what the fuck that was about. I was getting so mad at myself over it
Starting point is 01:09:14 because I did it multiple times. And by like the third or four time, I was like, what the fuck is wrong with me? Yeah. So yeah, yeah, by the way, if y'all don't know about that,
Starting point is 01:09:24 Tiger by the Tail, that is our retrospective on the Tiger King. You can listen to it on this podcast feed. And it's also on Tray's YouTube. It has been called Brilliant. And man, that was good by two of my friends. So, you know, pretty riveting.
Starting point is 01:09:38 stuff. Yeah. I mean, it does hit. It does, dude. It does hit. Dude, everything we've ever put out, in my opinion, hits, or I wouldn't have put it out. But, you know, we're comedians, so we've got to do that self-deprecate and, like, we don't hit.
Starting point is 01:09:51 No, we're fucking great. It's awesome. Yeah. It's unbelievable. There's an episode where I'm wearing a wig and a dress and sunglasses. Yeah. DJ's in it and hits. It's really good stuff.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Yeah. DJ's there for, I think, six out of the eight episodes. Yeah. good batting average for him. Not bad. It's not bad. Those are AIDS numbers. He missed the first one,
Starting point is 01:10:20 and then he was in space for the entirety of another one. Yes. All right. Well, check that out, y'all, and keep checking us out. We'll check you out, and everybody just check everybody out. Check it out. Check it out, man. Check it.
Starting point is 01:10:34 We've all checked out. All right. Well, so you know. next time.
