Episode Date: November 10, 2020

Brent Terhune (THE REDNECK YALL LOVE TO HATE) Joins us to talk about this past weekend, his internet persona, and of course the combo Holocaust/Model Ship Museum Industry! Lucy.co promo code RED

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

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

Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better. And it's called Rocket.

money. Rocket money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want any more. Rocket money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket money's 5 million members

have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services

that I just wasn't using. So I was probably 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 had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two, like,

twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the 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 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.

It's Mr. Brent Terhune. Brent is a tremendous stand-up comedian. He's written for Bob and Tom. Again, he's just absolutely

They're the... But sex, they care. Way too much, but don't give a fuck. Vibro rednecks that makes some people They got three big old dicks that you can suck. It's so funny to think of somebody tuning in right now just going, wow, they really did just, you know, get over it quick and just went in to like, fuck it, man. It's over.

Let's just talk about Guatemalans playing basketball. Big weekend, boys. Yeah, huge weekend. That's right. So Titans won. Titans won, yeah. Chiefs. We quit playing college football just gave up the way to decide we'd just.

just do basketball only in the state of Tennessee. So that hits for me. Georgia, too, if it means anything. Yeah, and, and something else happened, but I can't remember. Well, let's, that's our, he remembers. Well, let's also announce our guest, the very hilarious comedian, Mr. Brent. Hohen, how are you, Brent? Good to be here, guys.

Thanks for having me. Where do you that, buddy? I do remember what happened because I found some fudge rounds at Walmart for sale. I bought all those all of them up. So that was the highlight of my weekend at least. Where are you at, Andy? Yeah, Indianapolis.

Yeah, what's the mood there? I assume it's angry. I haven't really gone outside. Yeah, no, people keep asking me the same thing about North Georgia. And I'm like, I've stayed in my house since March 8th. I have no fucking idea what they're going on about. I know the polls closed. It's 6 o'clock, and I think at 601, the map flashed red for Indiana.

So I don't think we really have much of a chance. It was much the same. Yeah, not a nail-biter like in Georgia. But Georgia. Yeah. I know, son. I mean, complete opposite of my experience with Georgia in a long time. 28 years.

It's insanity. As Trey pointed out, though, I was like, man, this is just such the opposite of what I'm used to as a Georgia fan. And Trey rightly made the point. Yeah, but for most, like so many people in Georgia, this is exactly how that we should have gone. Had a bleed and blew it at the last second, heartbreaking fashion. Yeah. Yeah.

It's most people's perspective. Braves, Falcons, Bulldogs, trunk. Yeah. Somebody's beating the shit out of his wife on account of all that. And it don't have. I asked in the video that I made about it, but I want to know, like, how do they, how do you go on believing in God if you're one of those people? because you know if you're one of those people, you have to believe in God, but like, how can you continue to do so? Yeah, I know. Like, for me, for me, it felt like, I was like, look, if this is our, like, Jan Brady throwing the teakie necklace in the volcano, like, if, you know, like if all of those losses were for this, then obviously I'm for it.

But, yeah, I mean, son, there's a lot of blue jeans short wearing uncles out there just standing on a bridge. You know it. Yeah, but what's changed? They don't have a fishing pole in their hand. Yeah, they're not pushing their cousin. Yeah. Well, the religious people just say they're being challenged by God. Yeah. This is a test.

Yeah. As opposed to it was God's will four years ago. Oh, right. No, I forgot. They just activate mysterious ways mode. Yeah, mysterious ways. Engage. It's immediate.

It's mysterious ways. Right. Sometimes I think they're right about God. God's just an act. asshole. Yeah, I mean, I've, I could buy that. Hey, Brent. Yes, sir. So I got a bunch of things I'd like to talk to you about. Me too. First of all, we don't have to worry about any level of CAFE or anything like that, right? We could just talk openly about the situation with your online presence. Yeah, yeah. Brent, many of you, I'm sure, no, because there's a lot of overlap in

our fan basis. Brent also does character work on the internet, bless his heart. The redneck you love to hate. That's right. But so you like, I feel like it's not as immediately clear to a lot of people who watch your videos. Yeah, what actually is going on? And I say that because you always hilariously retweet and repost those comments when you get them of people taking you completely at face value and taking you seriously. And so I just would like for you to talk about that a little bit. Like that, like it was the exact opposite for me. Yeah.

Literal exact opposite. Like liberal redneck, all the people that didn't, people either liked it or the people that didn't like it were like, there's no fucking way this is real. Yeah. There's no fucking way. This is a real guy. This is a Jew from New York. This is bullshit.

that's a quote yeah that's an actual quote but so exact opposite for me so I love to hear you talk about that whole dynamic and also I got to tell you how secretly jealous I think we all are in a way because it's when you retweet the negative thing or the person thinking that it's real I would so love like that that obviously helps your video people see that go goddamn this guy's good I would love if I could get any type of mileage out of the negativity on mine but it just don't seem to help like yours does it's great like that stuff just bothers me but you look at it like fuck yeah fool this dip shit please elaborate yeah yeah yeah nobody knows i'm fat more than me so uh for you to point it out i might as well laugh about it then you'd be like no i'm not yeah like those comments it's it's kind of like

you know not that i've ever had a bunch of hecklers or anything but it's fun to like you know put the ball back in their court as far as whatever you know you think i'm stupid but obviously you it was why oh you are your stupid yeah kind of thing and you get you get those or like my favorite one i've ever gotten was this guy was like man his bitch ass lives in a trailer park why don't he cut my grass or something it was just like do some chores or something or something yeah yeah i love those where it's like you know um and i try not to like in if if it's in you know in the video i I try not to give a wink or a nod like,

hey, this is not real. Yeah. Because it's more fun. To me, it's, you know, it's pro wrestling. And Corey, you can speak to that.

You try to not break the character. Sure. Cut a promo on somebody. So that, you know. But, but. I hear you.

But like, sometimes, man, some of the lines you say, I'm like, you say, I can't think of a specific example, but you say things like,

and sure. And then you say a fact. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Something completely negative for Trump. Yeah. If you say it in a confident way, angry, then people are like, that's right. They're like proud of the fault. Like if I said, why don't you Native Americans go back to your country? Like if you just don't get that, then I can't help you. You know? No, and that's the, that's the thing is that you trick the, like the liberals will be tricked by that. The liberals will be tricked by that. The liberals will see that and go, because in their mind, they're like, this is how. How. dumb those people are. Now, as a I'm watching it with a trained comedian eye. And like, again, if you take out maybe a couple of the jokes, I'm like, I mean, shit,

this could go either way, but like, I'll see one, I'm like, boom, there you go. There's the tail right there. Good shit. But that's just a very interesting, God, you're a piece of shit. I love it. Why do you want to make liberals look so stupid, Brian? Like, what is it?

And frankly, rednecks. Like, why do you hate us? Why do you You know, because usually I would say us liberals, but I would say you liberals are dumb. No, it's like I never set out to like, you know, get you. But then it's like, goddamn. Like you said, some of these lines in there, I'm like, nobody's going to fall for this, you know? So, and then some of the topics are like, if they're taking the guns away from the loony tunes, who is mad about that shit?

Yeah. I think people are, but, no, I know, it's like, well, related to what you just said, we had Hayes Carl, the singer, songwriter on here a while back, and he's, you know, he's awesome, and he makes a lot of songs that are kind of funny. He has this, one of his early songs, She Left Me for Jesus, he's got this, there's a line in it where he's like, he, you know, his old lady has just left him for some dude named Jesus whose ass he wants to whip, right? and like it's just then he's like

and he says something what's the like I think she's a, I bet he's a comedy or even worse yet a Jew. Worse yet a Jew. And it's like so clearly the whole thing is so clearly a joke. Yeah. Right.

And it's hilarious too. But he said he had to stop. I don't think he stopped playing that song or maybe he has by now, but he stopped doing that line, which one of the funniest lines in the whole song. Yeah, of course. Because people, like, were clearly just like, yeah, fuck the Jews. He said they were singing the Jew part louder.

Like, they'd get to that and they'd be like, and worship the Jews. Yeah, right. Which is a good time. Yeah. It just never, you literally can't underestimate some people and their anger, their dipshit anger. But you were talking about K-Fave, it's. like wrestling, you don't want to break the character, yada, y'all, whatever, which I totally get. But I want to know how you landed on, if you did land on this at all, or if it just

kind of happened, because I know how that shit goes to, not being that 100% all the time when you're on the internet. Do you know what I'm saying? Like outside of just the videos, like, fully embracing it. And like, it's still clear to most people or other people. comedians like this is the character he's doing but you don't ever break it with your like online presence you know it like pro wrestler style how did did you think about that beforehand or did this all just kind of it got popular out of you know out of nowhere and it just sort of happened to you

because that's what happened to me yeah i mean i i never wanted to you know you get the comparison of like oh you're the new larry the cable guy which i think he's funny but i just don't want to be that guy. I don't want to be a character on stage, you know? So I'll be a guy that plays characters, but that's never like, I've never just wanted to have one take because then, you know, kind of limits you as far as, you know, you could drop in a hip hop reference some of the time, but I would rather just be able to do that whenever I want, you know. Yeah, but do you, do you, and look, I know that touring has been shut down for the most part because of COVID, but prior to that, how was that working out for you? Because like, look, I mean, you know, I've got a lot of

experience with this exact thing. And I was the same way. When the, when I first started touring everything, I didn't, it didn't say, it would say like in the description, you know, known for his liberal redneck videos, but like the headline didn't say, come see the liberal redneck show. Because, and it's post, the videos are posted by Trey Crowder and all this stuff is for the exact same reason you just said. I was like, I don't want to be introduced as the liberal redden. I don't want that to be the entirety of the thing for all the same reasons you just said. But I've 100% found, you know, and most people are great, but like pretty much every single show still right up until we stopped doing shows back in March, there'd be at least one person afterwards who you could tell

was kind of disappointed that it wasn't just the little rant. Yeah. Yeah, that it wasn't just an hours worth the portraits or whatever or Trump jokes and what have you. So like is that a problem for you? Do you run into that? How do people respond when they see, you know, the rest of your comedy that isn't like the videos are? Yeah, because I, and people are still, they're like, oh, I didn't know you did stand up. Yeah, right. And before, you know, the pandemic, I'd be on the road. And I, I just had a regular act. It's not, it's not vanilla, but it's fairly clean. And it's about relationships and stuff like that. Right.

And people would be like, oh, I, I didn't know if you were even going to do the character. And I, you know, now maybe people would expect more of like, you know, here's, here's me clearly doing this character during my show. But before I'd be in like, Wichita, Kansas and it'd be like, all right, hold on, let me put on this MAGA hat in the middle of my show. Like, yeah, yeah. Because people don't get it on the internet. So I can't imagine somebody just being in the audience being like, yeah, Jews.

Like that thing, you know, so. I was about to say, have you ever thought about just being a racist comedian and then just at the very end going, psych? And then just getting the check and leaving. Yes, all the time. So, yeah, it was, people are like, because they just didn't know that I did stand up. But, you know, I just released an album. I had an album out before that. And so I'm trying to like teach people like, hey, this is not the only thing I do. But unfortunately, you know, not everybody's going to. to see that video so you just have to keep pounding away at that and hopefully people realize but you know

do you get tired of that uh yeah it is what it is I you know I hopefully if you come see my show and you expected something else than at least hopefully my regular show is like oh that was good too hopefully you don't leave disappointed you know right

do you get tired of doing the character at all um no Because, I mean, those characters, it's like usually two, you know, two minutes and 20 seconds. And then I can kind of, I don't have to be that all the time. Like, Trey, you were saying, we're like, oh, you just didn't become the character all the time. And like, man, because people will be like, oh, he's a great parody account. Right.

No, I agree with you. I was just wondering, like, yeah, yeah. If you had, like, you know, where you fell on all of that, like, then. But I'm with you, though. And I mean, like I said, I did pretty much the same thing. So I hear you. do you get tired of the buttercream dream gory no not but not but right now well okay physically yeah like my throat hurts sometimes like if i do like sometimes like like seriously like

yeah man i got to lay down god damn no no like i mean i'm serious though i'm serious dude if you scream like that if you scream like that you will get fucking light head and your throat like i had like seven cameo videos i had to do in like the other day like they were do and buddy when I got done with all them, I had to make me some fucking tea. But my point is, now that we've gotten past the white woman, I want to know if you as an artist get tired of the butter cream. No, no, but also I have two other characters that I've been doing kind of regularly. And I've kind of made it like, so with, so I have Aint Leida and then I've got Ward Caldwell,

who Ward Caldwell sort of kind of gets more into Brent's territory. he is a Trump support it he's a Trump supporting like Rush Limbaugh Alex Jones type Ward Ward Ward Caldwell Lord Caldwell that's a good idea where you came up with that yeah that's odd who knows how I came up with that exact name but my point is because I've put I put all three of those on rotation for like a very specific reason so like hey buttercream dream don't wear it is welcome and for me or the audience and there's just certain things like if buttercream dream is like kind of if something really terrible happen, that's when that guy shows up to cut a promo. If something kind of just actually funny

happened, that's when drunk ain't Leda shows up, taking her percocet and stuff. And if there's something so completely bizarre, that's for Ward. So right now, I definitely haven't gotten tired of it, but only because I've found a little bit of individual success with it and it still currently makes me happy. But I'm certain that that will go away. But right now, no, just because I've got the other things going. And I know it's different for you, Trey, but I still ask you the same question. And you can talk about why it's different if you want, but I think most people understand it's less of a character for you, even though it is a character. Yeah, it used to be more of a character. I mean, I'll just be upfront about it. I don't really get tired of it. I'm no longer, I mean,

y'all know, there was a period of time where I was pretty tired of feeling like I had to do the videos all the time, but for a lot of reasons. Can't wait to see your take on this, Trey. Yeah, yeah, because we're in the comment sections. Where's the video for this? You just don't care about us no more? Exactly. Yeah, all of that. but I don't really, I don't know, I got over it or whatever. I kind of like doing them again now. For the most part, it depends on, how much I like it depends on how I think it turns out. Like sometimes I'll do when I turn out like, well, that one didn't hit.

Fuck, you know. But, you know, that's sort of how it should work, I think. But the reason why is because, I mean, and again, I'll just freely admit it, I mean, I'm barely even a character in them anymore. Right. them liberal redneck because I um that's to me that's the name of that series you know what I mean like and it's like a continuing series of videos the whole time so like I've still titled them that but like I'm pretty much just myself in the more recent videos and that was a conscientious

thing and it has to do exactly with what Brent was saying earlier about like trying to try to move away from people thinking about me as a type of like caricature or whatever Because, I mean, it, again, it was always less of a character for me because I'm from fucking Salina, Tennessee, and I'm a, you know, big queer. So it was, it does check all the boxes. All that stuff was all real. I just cranked it up more. But now I just, I'm just myself. Because I still have a thick-ass accent, and I still think a bunch of really, you know, Karl Marxie type things.

So it's still mostly there, but I'm pretty much just being myself in my videos. nowadays. So realistically, the buttercream dream is just if you take drunk Corey's actual tweets at 2 o'clock in the morning and then just have me put a belt over my shoulder and scream them. Like that is, that is kind of the way I express myself, but I just have, I really should have not come in right out the gate being that loud. And because now that's just it.

Like that's just fucking, that's how that guy talks. Maybe you could go to Jake the snake route. He never yelled. You could just tone it down. I have in a couple of them when I've done it more a day. I've definitely just been in here a little bit. This is what the buttercream dream thinks. Come in here, you know, like you got to, but Christ almighty.

I have a feeling I'm going to be with that guy for at least a couple more years and I'm happy about it. Well, and it goes back to like with your character with the conspiracy theories. I like conspiracy theories. Whether I subscribe to them. Yeah, they're fun. It's a different story. But I like conspiracy theories and even more, I like conspiracy theory people. Yeah.

That's, for me, that's my character is like, what, how far are these people willing to backpedal and like, uh, like the, you know, the limbo bar keeps going down and down and down and they're like, all right, we're going to have to like get under this bar and make it work for our opinions or whatever. We call that the Limbaugh bar actually. This was like kind of alluded to earlier Brent, but I want to ask specifically, we talked about you like, you've seemed to. fool people a lot more with your character. And that, but like we, a lot of, what's the ratio of like liberals who are upset that the existence of this person while taking it seriously versus the, yeah, Jews, people like, hell yeah, brother. The, you know, the people on the red side who are like, fucking love this guy who, you know, take it completely seriously.

Like, how does that break down for you? I think it's hard because the obvious reactions, are from liberal people. But I think if you are like, yeah, Jews, you don't even say that. You just like, let me send this to all my friends. Like, yeah, right. Because it's not like outrage. It's more so like I agree.

Yeah. And I'll share it, which is weird because I get people all the time like, yeah, my, my dad shares your videos thinking they're real type thing, you know, which is fun. And it's also weird. This guy looks like me. Yeah. He's got sleep apnea. I could tell.

Game recognized game. And it also depends on the social media platform. Like I think on Facebook, you get a lot more people that are somehow that'll just come across on their timeline. Yeah. Because I think Twitter now at this point, people are aware what I do. Yeah.

So I think it's harder for me to trick somebody. And not that I was like, oh, I'm going to get them this time, but I get more on Facebook than I do on Twitter. Yeah, I don't. Go ahead. I was just going to say I'm really happy for and proud of all of you guys that you love your characters that are doing so well. I'm his stand-up comedy show goddamn bad. I fucking hate looking at my phone and doing this shit.

Even when they go well, I'm like, the only one I have fun doing is the only one that went well. There's a correlation. And people were like, do the proud boy again. and there was reason to do it. Like they kidnapped the governor or whatever. And I was like, nope, nope, I'm not just done the outside chance. I'm not doing that for the fucking next year and a half, which is probably dumb. But what I'm getting at is, you guys think we'll ever be able to be on stage again?

I hope not. I'm really enjoying this, especially this part of it. This is great. Brant, what do you think? I mean, eventually, yes. But it's so weird now with technology, like before this podcast would have had to be in person. and people would have been like, I don't like that they're essentially doing a phone in podcast.

But now social media has changed so much where nobody gives a shit if you're on Zoom. So that'll be weird to see what people put up with. Like if it's 20, 24 and we're still doing Zoom stuff. And they're like, they need to just be in person. This is bullshit. We'll just die. We'll just die. How about that?

Yeah. get what you did. I mean, yeah, no, that's a good point because you're right. There used to be a whole sort of mentality about, you're right. Doing this thing pre-pandemic, people would have been like, this is fucking kind of Bush League bullshit as this. No, I agree. But then everybody got to a point where they kind of knew they had to allow for it because of what choice do they have. But when the text improves to end, when it ends like for good, at what point will they go back to that old mentality if ever, would this just stay okay to do or will they eventually like gravitate back to like, okay, they need to quit with the Zoom bullshit, you know, it's been long enough.

Well, some shows won't exist. Like you guys all live in, well, you know, for the most you live in different parts of the countries, different time zones. And the, you know, the podcast I do, we all, all three of us live in different parts of the country. So it's like either you have the show this way or you just can't, you know. Right. Yeah, we were fortunate. I mean, we, we, we, we, we were, were able to just record on the road while we were together and stuff like that. But before, we kind of had a little bit of practice in this because they were in L.A. and I was here, and I was calling into the podcast. But I do think that like those first, I mean, honestly, probably five to six, maybe even more weeks, it was definitely a huge adjustment. I think now

everyone has had to figure out, like, there's a difference between your in-person chemistry and re-learning a chemistry on Zoom. And I think we have it now. Like, if you were to listen to our first two to three podcasts on Zoom versus the last couple of, It's like, all right, I think they figured it out. But there's still, I mean, there's never going to be that. Like, I could see movie theaters going away because technically the in-home experience, if you've got a big enough screen, you were only watching a screen anyways. But you're never going to be able to replace that in-person thing.

And I think once we finally get back and see it for the first time, we're going to be absolutely floored with endorphins. You know what I mean? And be like, we cannot let this shit happen again. But I don't know. I think the first time I get to watch. you and Trey staring at each other's eyes while you eat a fucking pepperoni pizza and talk about how much we hit into a microphone. It's definitely going to rock my goddamn endorsements.

What do you want? Do you want to go back on the road or not, Drew, goddamn? I said it's going to rock my endorphins. I thought you were being sarcastic. Well, you don't know me. You forgot who I am over zone. Well, Brent, what's your, like, personal, you know, have you. how are you doing?

Well, at this point, we're, it's a long way into this. Are you like Corey and you're just living a dream over there? Or are you like Drew and you're ready to fucking snap if this shit doesn't end soon? I mean, the same always, no matter what, I never hit. So, you know. At least you're consistent. Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

I love being home. Right. When I'm on the road, I'm on the road. But it was so weird, like I would do, you know, 40. 45 weeks a year as a stand-up and it's like mostly driving gigs. So it was like, you know, you want to be home. But now I don't mind being home and it's different. You know, when you couldn't perform live, you had to, you know, do more videos. You had to do podcasts on Zoom or what. So you had to, you know, to use a wrestling term, go learn a new hold. And I like this because it's a,

I'm still not as good, I think, at this stuff than I was at stand-up. but, you know, I'll be back and be shitty at stand-up again because I haven't been on a stage for a while, but I don't miss the road. I would still like to go, but I'm not like, man, I got to get back out there. Yeah. So, but. Do you separate the road from the stage or is it the same answer for just performing in general? I like the drive part.

I like being alone. So if you guys could turn your cameras off and your mics off, this would be great for me. but I like that isolation thing. And so, and I'm newly married last October. So then my wife's work got shut down. I couldn't travel. So we were in the house for three months.

And thankfully, we're like, we're good enough friends that were like, you know, it works. But then also, then she'd be like, all right,

I want to go in this room. Yeah. Go over here. So thankfully we could be like, I'm tired of your shit. Leave me alone. Well, me and you share that in that.

me and my wife got married shortly before this. And also, we'd been together for four years, but our entire relationship, we'd only dated during the times when me and the boys were on tour. So our relationship was like, she saw me five times a month. It's so easy to be in love when that's the case. And then this happened. And it's like during this pandemic, I've been telling a lot of people like, I've been having to deal with the pandemic and figuring out how to be a husband for the first time in my life. even though I've been married a couple years and been in a relationship a couple years. So, yeah, there's been several instances of, hey, I know there's literally nothing that you could do, but I'm going to need you to fuck off for a minute.

This is her, not me. Please book something. Go die. Go die. Please. Go fucking die. Yeah. Her exact words.

Well, shit. I don't know how many in my wife have done it, frankly. you've told us a lot we're fine we've had I mean we've had a couple of fights but like not many I feel like we're both kind of on the same page as far as like yeah look this this don't hit

for either one of us so we're going to have to and I mean being like essentially locked together we do the same thing where one of us will fuck off for a while very purposefully but I mean we've been together for 10 years

which I mean Drew and his wife's been together for I think like a year longer than we have even so um well i think the whole thing open the door and giving me permission to say this that sounded like a total dick uh let me say that i very much appreciate that my wife loves me but she's she's like into this like my wife loves me and that's great it's really nice for someone to feel that way about you but there are times where i'm like hey why don't you go in that fucking room and i'm going this fucking room and it like kind of hurts her

feelings. When you say it like that, that's weird. That's exactly how all three of you said it. Yeah. I was just copying. I was being, I was being her, though. Right. But I'm saying all three of you all just said about fucking off to the other room. That's the only reason I said it that way. I don't say it. It's the way you, it's, but it's, it hit different. It hit different when you don't know. Y'all ain't hurt. Why would I tell it hurt? That's what we're saying. In our, in our situation, it was the woman wanting us to leave. You're the one. telling this sweet lady to get the fuck out of your life. Sweet lighting.

You're that scene in the shining when Sheldon Duvall comes in and he's on the typewriter. Yeah. And he's like, you're distracting me. Listen, my concentration. When I'm in this room,

you have to understand that I'm getting work done, all right? So if I'm in here, you need to be out there. Could you start now? Could you get the fuck out of here? Yeah, that's my favorite scene.

That's weird that you brought that specific scene up in a fucking 40-year-old movie, Brent, because after we finished recording last week, me and Corey talked about the shining off mic, and he went into the whole thing about that particular scene. And now here it is, just a week later. And last night, I watched the shining episode of Treehouse of Horrors. Shut the fuck up, Drew. I watched a shining episode of Treehouse of Horrors with,

on the Simpsons with my sons. The shenning. I watched the shenning just last night. The part that I identify with, Drew, is the, He does this whole thing about just because I don't look like I'm working doesn't mean I'm not trying to concentrate. And if you're in here, I can't fucking do that. That's my every Monday is what. And then you look at what you're working and it's just like.

Red rum, red rum. How many different ways can I say boner creatively? Yeah. Without a doubt, I don't really go on those. I don't really go on those, have those huge fits anymore, mainly because I quit smoking. I was able to quit smoking, by the way, because of a little company called Lucy Nicotine. Lucy Nicotine is a company founded by Caltech scientists and former smokers looking for a better and cleaner nicotine alternative. Finally, ladies and gentlemen, tobacco alternatives that don't

suck. This was researched and developed for three years to be made for people, not patients. Lucy has created a nicotine gum with four milligrams of nicotine that comes in three flavors. Tell them about it. Trey Lane. Yeah, I got, uh, they got, listen, no, I got, they got, they got winter green cinnamon and pomegranate and they all hit, but the pomegranate particularly hits, uh, as Corey has noted before, if you, if you're, if you like to drink and nicotine at the same time, which, you know, who among us doesn't, right? The pomegranate is kind of made for that because then it just like gives a little, a little extra

kick to, you know, your vodka or whatever it is, you're getting drunk on. Or they also have a lozins that comes before. milligrams of nicotine. It's cherry ice flavor. I actually haven't tried the lozenges, but cherry ice never don't hit. So it's convenient. It's discreet.

Products can be enjoyed anywhere on flights at work or even at the gym. I don't know what kind of lunatic would do that last one. But the on flights are in the store. When vaping first became a thing, that was one of the biggest selling points to me. Yeah, for sure. It was like, oh shit, I could do this. It's a movie theater.

Corey, we went and saw Guardians of the Galaxy, and we sat there vaping the whole time because vaping was like a new thing. We're like, God damn, how hard does this hit? And it did. And that, of course, they let us have that for like two months before immediately. They were like, no, you can't do this here either. It's like, explain to me why. And they never did.

But anyway, Lucy, though, you can do that. You can do that. And guys, I've told this on the podcast before, but it's true. I'm coming up on hearing a week and a half, I think. It'll be two years for me. without a regular cigarette, which is absolutely amazing. But I was still vaping a little bit trying to wean myself off. I was like, I'll vape and one day I'll quit that.

Well, I was only able to quit that using Lucy nicotine gum, and I'm proud to say that I haven't vaped in about, I want to say like 15 or 16 weeks at this point, and also I'm no longer using Lucy because that's how good the product is, is that eventually you won't need it. It's 2020. It's 2020. Be like Corey.

Get rid of the cigarettes. So plug your vape, throw out your dip, get some Lucy gum. It's the real deal. If you get a subscription, Lucy, it comes to your door every month.

Lucy.com promo code red. All right, fellas. Brant, you killing y'allself with anything besides like, you know, butter and stuff, the obvious, yeah. Yeah, before the, you know, the lockdown and pandemic, I wasn't, I've never ever really been a big drinker, but then for the few weeks where I just didn't do anything, it was like Red Dead redemption.

Yeah. And vodka. It was vodka. Why was it vodka? Why vodka out of all the options? Trey, because it gets you drunk quick. It does. You're right.

That's why. Yes. No, just and that's one of those things. Like if I'm out and people like, oh, you want to drink, I'm like, no, I'm good. But like just to be home and, and, you know, you could, you don't have to worry about anything. Just, you know, sit in a chair and play game or watch a movie. That's, that's it. I for a long time also opted for vodka because it was less hard on my guts than like beer was or a lot of other things.

But also, I'm not going to lie, I bought into some of that bullshit about, I feel like it has an illusion of like, oh, this is at least slightly healthier than other, especially if you mix it with something also clear. Yeah. That's like, look at that. That's water. That's nothing. That can't hurt you too bad. which is false. Pepsi drink just like that one time.

Yeah, right. It will still make you fat and sorry and your liver explode if you drink a whole shit load of it. So, yeah. Now, see, I just get like the... Squirt. What? Squirt. Squirt.

No, the white calls, you know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's healthy. Tell me about your health regimen. Yeah. No, I ain't been on that for a long time. Honestly, Thompson kind of just straight up cured me of that. They pointed out the idiocy of it in such a concise way that I was like, okay, I can't keep doing that.

Cures you a big old pussy disease. I was drinking three to five white claws every night before bed. And that was like my new routine I was on. Did you do anything else besides that? That was your routine? Yeah, I mean, I was working out every day. The point of that ostensibly was that it, uh, three to five white calls is 300 to 500 calories.

And because I'm a completely broken dead inside bag of shit, I had one of two choices. I could either drink the three to five white claws. That's three to 500 calories before bed. Or I could eat half of a weed edible slash everything in my kitchen, which would come to the tune of about eight to fourteen hundred calories right before bed. Um, so I was going with the white clause instead, but then my, my best friend for back home, I talked about that on the podcast. And when the podcast came out, he texted me. And he's like, he's like, I just fucking love how you're like, oh, you guys should try out this new thing I'm doing. My new health regimen every night before bed. I drink about five beers. He's like, you know, those are just beers, right? Like, those are just different, different flavored beers or whatever. And I was like, okay, fine. So I don't do that anymore. But you know what I do do? Gorge myself right before bed very often. But, um, um, You're in pain, right?

A little less of that. Yeah. I've always respected. It was just pistachios and some beef jerky. Like, I try to... You're living on the road in your house. Yes. That's road food food.

No, I know, but you know, pistachios and beef jerky is the healthier option, is what I'm saying, because, like, otherwise, it's an entire bag of wavylays with the French onion dip, one of my number one hits. And I'll smash all of both of those. by myself in one evening if I allow myself to. So I'm saying like a whole bag of dried meat is like, oh, this is me doing good. I did good tonight.

I respect that Thompson pointed out, you know, that you were sort of in a way line to yourself. But I'm also more than that respect, Trey, the honesty of, look, it's going to be one of the other. Yeah. That's where we're at right here. Yeah. Like, like, I know I'm not unaware of the argument. of like, you know, Trey, what you should do is nothing. Like, none of that. What you should do is

nothing. I'm like, I know, I know, but I can't, I'm telling you, I can't. I'm going to do so. I can't just sit there with just my thoughts and my wife. No. In front of the TV. In front of the TV after the kids go to bed for like three or four hours, I'm going to do something. And so I'm just trying to find the least harmful version of that. Brent, we, uh, obviously you can tell here that we're all trash and have trash palettes. Well, I mean, not Drew so much. Drew absolutely is a healthier person than me. Brint's a trash can for sure. Yeah, he is. That's what I'm, no, that's what I'm, that's what I'm, that's what I'm getting into. Hey, I can say that, Tray, but I don't need you to say that, okay? I need, I want to know, like, everybody that listens to this podcast knows our three

dietary habits and what it is that we run on and we just, you just talked about how, uh, you never really drank that much, but, you know, know, now that the pandemic happened, you were drinking some vodka. I know with me, even though I only thought that I was eating a lot before this happened. And now I'm just going crazy. So I'd like you to run me through a typical pandemic day for Brent in the trash department. There's a lot of sandwiches going on. And that's not like trash food, but if you eat enough of them, that's trash food.

And that's like an easy go-to. A lot of times my wife and I, you know, she's not a big meat eater. So we'll share a meal, but then it's also like, you know, I'm not hungry, but she is and vice versa. So it's like, let's have a sandwich. So a post-dinner sandwich is what is what I'm getting from you. It's more mid-dinner sandwich. Hold on.

I got to take a break. Can we take a sandwich break? Let me put this salad down and get the sandwich out. Yeah. Yeah, and then it's been weird because we haven't eaten out at a restaurant at all, like not brought food in or anything. So it's been weird to like, you know, quote, prepare meals because a lot of it is just like a microwave type thing. But stuff too.

So it's been weird to be like, oh, I didn't just spend $50 on one meal, you know. So that's been fun. It's like saving money via pandemic. I would recommend it, guys, if you can. Yeah. Drugs are too expensive, but I hear you. Brent has done shows with us before. Some of you all this may have seen them.

One weekend in Indianapolis, Corey wasn't there, Brent filled in for him. I think we've done a couple other ones over the years. One of those times, I went with Brent and Drew was there. So I guess it was the time you weren't there, Corey. We went and trashed down at some trash place. I can't remember where it was. It was Yats, the K-Eats.

the Cajun place. Yeah, and what I remember is, and I loved it because I loved that. But my memory is like it was just a big bowl of just slop. You know how much slop hits, Corey? So hard. It was just a big bowl of slop that did hit. And I remember Brent took us there and it was good. It was fire.

That was best at Tufe I've ever had. Now, I don't like Cajun food as much as most people. I feel like, you know, me saying that doesn't prove anything about that place necessarily, but I liked it a lot. Yeah, and why I say Cajun food, I get the same thing every time. So it's not like I'm like, oh, I love Cajun food. I'm like, oh, I love chili cheese et tufe. That's what I like.

You know, cheese et tufei. They had shit. Hold up. I know, that's what I'm saying. You can tell, right, just by the name. And you missed it. I missed it because of a fucking, I guarantee, I don't even remember, guarantee you it was a wedding. I do remember that.

They were like, because I think he did the show, then you were just like gone after. Where they have the wedding? I don't fucking know. People I hated. That's what they had. A lot of them. A lot of lies.

God damn it. I hope they're divorced whoever it was. Brand. Let's circle back to the sandwiches for a minute because I've also been on a sandwich kick lately. I just had a buffalo chicken sandwich myself and it was divine. That you made or you, got from a sandwich place. No, I made, but it's, it was just like, I had Buffalo chicken deli made.

I didn't do anything special. But I had like, I went and did the nice boarheads deli, like shaved meats and shaved cheeses. And I had it. I do too. And I got the bread from the bakery. It wasn't just like the regular bag shit. I know exactly what that. That is exactly what I had been doing lately. When I say sandwiches, I buy like sub rolls from the bakery. Yes. Like you said, the deli boars head, deli meat and that type of thing. Get them all. And put them all. And I. I buy tomatoes and red onions and olives, whatever, that type of shit. Cut them up, put them on there. You're like a Shaggy in the kitchen type sandwich where you got all the shit on there,

which is how you should do it. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, well, that's how I do it. And you said it's been a lot of sandwiches lately, unless I want to know, is it more of that style? Are you talking like white bread, bologna, American cheese? That's good shit, too, by the way. Yeah, there ain't nothing wrong with that, but I'm just curious.

I'm not opposed to putting chips on a sandwich. If you just got out of the pool, that's what I'm eating is the poolside lunch. Yes. There's nothing better than the pool side lunch. What kind of chips? Usually cool ranch Doritos, which is weird. I don't like ranch. I know that if you saw me, you'd be like, that guy likes ranch.

He's a spokesperson for a particular type of ranch. You look like a bottle of ranch. I know, I know. You're so fucking Midwestern and everything in so many ways and then come out here and like, I don't fuck with ranch. That's wild. That's the only way I'm a minority in America is that I don't like rain. Hey, can I change your life?

Lays has this new, you know, flaming hot. I don't want it. I don't want it. Well, you're getting it. You're getting it. The Flaming Hot series, much like COVID, has swept our nation as of late. And the Flaming Hot series now has a flaming hot deal pickle potato. chip and for my money that crushed up on a sandwich is just

so if you want to add them next 20 pounds before this Pfizer vaccine comes through deal pickle flaming huts well a second i know we got a lay sponsorship that was uh it was good copy there so you're thank you very much we appreciate over at frito lay be sure to use uh our promo code's fat sad fuck 99 no that was your username right. That's also my email password. Fuck, I've given it all the way. I can't wait to get the vaccine and then just blame all my weight gain on that. Did anybody else gain weight on this COVID vaccine guys? I have one question I want to ask you that we talked about before we start recording and I'm very curious about it. And I guess going back to the wrestling thing,

that's the way I'll frame it. When a wrestling guy switch is a wrestling guy but when they switch companies they'll have to kill a character or when they retire or sometimes they just change characters sometimes they talk about it

retire them and sometimes they don't have you thought about that or do you have a last video in mind or is just one day going to be like oh I think I'm done I'm going to make it very much like Infinity War where I just pixelate and go into the wind

which would be fun. No, I don't know because that guy, the truck rant guy, which is that character, is always around. Like, he's either bitching about politics or because some kid got a trophy

that he gave him. You know, like, so that character can, you know, doesn't have to go away, but it might just not be as prominent. Okay,

so like a transition of the character sort of. Yeah, and people are like, what are you going to do now? I'm like, well, right now I'm on break in my Amazon job because that's how bad it went right after the election. No, but yeah, I don't know.

We'll see where it goes because I'm capable of, it's weird how people be like, you know, your gimmick is gone now. So they think I'm, I'm only capable to be funny in one way. Well, right. Right. Yeah. I mean, I was trying to ask the question, because I know how funny you are. I just wondered if you were going to do a new thing or try to rotate that one or whatever. Yeah, I would like to, you know, whatever comes my way. I've been doing this character for like seven years. His name is Connie Danza. He's a hot dog and I have a hot dog suit.

I've seen it. I've seen it. Yeah, yeah. It's good shit. But that's very, that is the one dimensional because it's all food pun. So it's like you can't step outside that too much. But I've never really done that on the internet. So I would like to, you know.

It's time. You know what? The time is now, Brent. America is ready for Coney Danza. Well, the thing about that is that's so interesting to me is when, you know, first off, the other side was like, oh, well, what are you going to do now that this is over? It's like, first off, it relies on the notion that comedians are, well, we are self-serving individuals. So I guess that's a bad example.

But like, we're all very happy. And I think everyone would trade a little bit of success so that they could wake up feeling like Kim Jong-un isn't going to point a lazy. are at us. But also, go ahead. It relies on the notion that the character that you're playing is some guy who only existed when Donald Trump

became. It's like Donald Trump got elected and this dude apparated out of a fucking fireplace and like that, no, that dude, that's my uncle. Exactly. I've known this guy forever. The butter, and Mitch McConnell's still here and Lindsey Graham still here. Like, son, that shit's always going on. Right. People have said

the same, a version of the same thing to me. a bunch too and it's always been like well first of all hey it was 2016 but i first went viral and everything when Barack Obama was president right and at a time when people were still not even taking Trump seriously yet for sure like people he was no one thought he was going to win no one foresaw any of this coming and that's when I first broke through and secondly as core just alluded to like I've been mad about all these same things my whole life through you know bill Clinton to Bush to fucking through the Obama years and now because like you said, these people ain't new and they're not going anywhere either.

And this type of bullshit isn't going anywhere either. So yeah, I'm not. And neither is Trump. I'm not worried about it. He's not going nowhere. Right. Yeah, when he starts the Trump network or whatever the fuck he's going to do next, that's not going going away.

Do you guys find it hard to take your anger and make it funny? because when I'm genuinely angry about something, it's there's no funny to it. Maybe six months later there's funny to it. I don't know. People of all, everyone in my life has always told me that it's really funny when I get like upset or flustered by things.

I think I kind of naturally, even if I don't even mean to be funny. I think that I'm funny when I'm mad to, you know, in a lot of ways. But it really depends. Some things, if I get mad enough,

if it's a subject that like, genuinely upsets me enough, then yeah, I'm probably not. The jokes ain't flowing. But there's plenty of things that I can be upset by that also are funny to me or are easy to make funny. I genuinely, there was a couple of buttercream dream videos that I put out that after I, and for the record, the numbers didn't show. The numbers were fine. The ones that did the best, I thought were the least funny, if that makes sense. Like, it's always weird. Sometimes you get too close to a video and you're like, this isn't not going to do well. But then you also have to trust your instincts that there's a reason that you're there

is because you're funny regardless. Well, I'm about to sound very like myself here. But like some of them I would watch and I'd be like, that wasn't funny, but it was great. Like it doesn't matter because to me, I was telling my wife, I was telling my wife, I was like, there are layers to it. like the comedy comes from the fact that it's a guy without his shirt on with a fucking wrestling belt over his shoulder speaking in an Arne Anderson cadence. So if everything isn't as punchy as normal, that alone, the juxtaposition of those two things happening is where a lot of the comedy comes from.

So if I am just genuinely mad, it is, it's entertaining. It's fucking entertaining. And again, like, again, not to to tip my own horn, I'll be like, that wasn't as funny as I thought. but Lord son, my fucker was spitting. And so, not to toot his own horn. As David Letterman said,

not toot my own horn, but if I could, I certainly would. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Corey knows this. I don't remember how I got, I was looking at,

I got some kind of notification or something while drunk the other night and ended up, I was looking at numbers on my YouTube page or something, and I got like a suggested video of my own and ended up going back. So I'm just going back. now look if it's been a while for you all out there since you circle back to my

Game of Thrones recaps i highly recommend me too some of my finest work i got drunk and watched every goddamn one of them the other night and i was just slanging it the whole time okay let's let's be clear too he wasn't just he didn't just get drunk he didn't just get drunk and watch them he got drunk watched them and sent them all to me you know only only only only only select clips. Well, yeah, of course, you curate the hit. I spent the time to curate select clips in. You'd like, check this one out. How flames is that? But I will be, but I will be honest, like, they were hitting for me very hard. And but here's the deal, man, we can start doing more shit like that now, I feel. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's a lot of pressure off.

As Brent, we were talking about off Mike, Brent said, he goes, it's just nice for the past couple days not to really had to worry about like going and looking on Twitter to see what's trending because A, you know what's trending. You know what it is. You know what it is. And B, it's like, fuck it. Who cares? Let's take a, let's take a vacation, like at least a week or something like that. For the record, we didn't even talk about it on this fucking podcast. Yeah, well, I mean, I think you're right as far as like, you know, everybody knows. Right. I mean, like, like, one, how much more can you say on this, the same subject matter anymore? You know, know, like at a certain point, either you agree or you don't, you know.

Yeah. That's part of this, you know, it truly is like Corey was saying about spitting flames. And I don't know if it's funny, but it's fucking great. I mean, part of this is agreement, you know, having people who agree with you. And that's not, I feel like some comedians bristle at that. Like, it's insulting. But like, you've agreed with 90% of your favorite topical jokes you've ever heard. Even if it's like, I mean, a lot of times the audience is laughing because they're going, I've always felt that way, but I've never thought of it like that.

Right. You know, I don't have any shame about that. But to get to your question about the anger, this Project Lincoln shit pisses me. I feel like I get mad about different. Does Donald Trump being a racist fucking idiot piss me off? Of course. But I like, no, we're all mad about that. And I think everyone on our team knows what to do about it or, you know, we're trying to do the thing about it.

And we got him out of there, it seems. knock on wood. I mean, his lawyer is Rudy Giuliani, I think we'll be fine. But like this Project Lincoln shit pisses me off because we've given these people like $80 million or $70 million or whatever it is and they've kept 70% of it. And then they spent the rest running ads in states where Joe Biden was going to win anyway. And I'm like, well, that's a grift.

And it pisses me off that so many people are defending them. And I tried to make a video about it. Is this a thing like, is there like a specific story that everybody is on about right now or Project Lincoln's Lincoln Project is concerned because you know I mean Yeah I mean they got they got on 60 minutes And talked about how they were never Trump Republicans And that's why they're working so hard to prevent him from getting elected

But when journalists started looking into their balance sheets which are all public They paid themselves their own companies through this nonprofit or super pack or whatever it is 70% of that money. And then they like did things like ran an ad in Times Square or ran an ad in states where Joe Biden was going to win. They're trying to get people who hate Donald Trump to give them money. It seems very clear to me. That aside, some people agree with me. Some people don't.

I think they make porn for liberals. That's not really my point. No, I agree with you on that. They're trying to get money now to like help in Georgia, quote unquote, but they're funneling money away from the actual candidates in Georgia because if you're spending money you can be giving it to them. That makes me mad.

The only reason I brought this up, I wasn't trying to get off on a complete tangent. The only reason I brought it up was to say like, yeah, this morning, I was so mad watching people attack. They attack Blair. What's Blair's last name? Blair Erskine.

Yeah. They were like being really mean to her because she was like, guys, this is a grift. Watching them be mean to her pissed me off. And I try to do a video. I finally got one out. but it took me like an hour and a half of tweeting my anger without any fucking jokes before I even thought of anything remotely funny.

Like I guess to answer your question for me, I've got to get the anger out and then sometimes I can think of something. What makes me so mad about that, the project Lincoln or Lincoln project, whichever one it is, I don't give a shit really, is that, yeah, now that they have all this money, they're going to use it to energize the young Republicans and get some of their folks in there, but also be able to, they're going to be able to help. With all that money, they're going to be able to start writing the story on history the way they want to. And they're not only going to be able to do that, but there's going to be a lot of people that go,

these are the people that got Donald Trump out. It's not people like Stacey Abrams who registered 800,000 disenfranchised people to vote. It's not liberals finally getting off their fucking couches in literal record numbers. It was Rick Smith or Rick Wilson or Justin Wilsoner, oh, yon, whatever that fucking dude's name was. You know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean. The reason I know you're right is they've said it. If you go back and watch the 60-minute interview,

they say we're Republicans and we don't like that Donald Trump has made our party so racist. We want to go back to the time before when it was. When Strom Thurman did it. I'm sorry. When the fuck was that? When the fuck was that? See how mad I'm getting?

There's nothing funny about this. And I'm going to be honest with you, I just checked on the video to make this point. It's not doing well. I don't think they're going to get that. or people disagree with me because a lot of our fans are arguing me. I don't know how you can disagree with it being called a griff. That's insane to me.

Like it's so clearly exactly what it is. I was like, I was glad that, and I remain glad that a version of that thing existed. Me too. On a level, on a level that people, everyone knew about it.

Like, I'm glad that was a thing in some capacity, that there was any group of Republicans who were actively saying, look, fuck this guy and everybody else knew about it. These particular, it being these particular ones, seems to, you know, not hit. Yeah, which is not at all surprising. Shouldn't be surprising to anybody. But, like, yeah, it's very clear now. I don't know. I just don't know.

I don't know why liberals would get. People are just, it's hard to admit you're wrong about something and I'm sure a lot of them donated to them and whatever else. And so they're just like taking it personally or something. Right.

Well, my whole point. Fuck the Lincoln Project. Well, I could see how they would take that part personally because I do feel like my whole point is, I'm glad the Lincoln Project exists. We liberals need to stop paying for it. Yeah, right. Yeah, right.

They're openly, they have said, we are rehabilitating the Republican brand. I'm not paying that. Fuck. Yeah, let it, let it die. I already don't pay for my brother to get a rehab. We saw how that fucking turned out. I'm not paying for any more rehabs of liars.

Yeah, so. Drew, where should people donate their money then? To the campaigns of Asoff and the Reverend, whose last name is escaping me, the two people who are running in Georgia. And on Twitter, they're at Asoff and at Raverin. I'm going to fuck his last name up, guys. It's fucking, um, God, Dwarnock. war knock i was i was thinking warhoff war knock reverend raphael war knock yeah it's it's weird

like that trickle down i could not make us our money so we can give it to those guys rather than just directly to those guys right yeah that's why i've never i've never i've never liked it when like a a a restaurant or like like a you know macdonalds or something like hey you want to donate your change to the unisif whatever da da or like the uh you go the food line they're like hey you want to donate a dollar to diabetes? I'm like, how about you just tell me where this thing is? And I'll go down there and give it to him because what's going to happen is I'm going to give you the dollar.

And at the end of the goddamn year, you're going to write it off of your taxes. And it was my motherfucking dollar, you piece of shit. Also, you're donating all your money to diabetes. Absolutely, absolutely. Not the cure, but like the, uh, we're, I'm figuring, the disease itself. The disease itself. Yeah. One day I'll be able to show you how it morphs and does different things.

things. All right. Brent, do you have time for a quick story? Yeah. All right, I've been one,

I've been dying and tell the fellas this. I was in Marfa, Texas, as we were traveling, and we were looking for places to eat, and my wife saw

on the map something called the Holocaust and model ships museum. Now, at this point, I was already at the ball pretty drunk, and I'm already

laughing at the idea that there's one guy in the world who thinks the two most important things for him to preserve in the museum is artifacts related to the Holocaust, which obviously isn't important, and model ships and like how these two combined. So even though it was 10 at night, instead it was open 24 hours, Andy calls and a guy answers at 10 p.m. And he's like, well, we can be open, you know, it's just my house. It's just my house.

Come on by. and we had met, we met this wonderful trans woman who was there taking pictures of people doing this campaign that they're doing called Pride Portraits. So follow them on Instagram. Their name is Derek. And we're having drinks. We're starting to get drunk.

We're like, fuck it, we're going. Like, we got to go. So she calls John back to get directions to his house because he had already told her that the GPS won't take you right there. And he says, I swear to God, it's just four blocks past the river. I'll be outside flashing a light at you. So that's how we found the Holocaust and Modelships Museum. Now, I'm going to finish this story.

Let me do a brief disclaimer. I recognize how the Holocaust is not funny. How so? Oh, here we go. But going to this museum with a trans woman who was very drunk and feisty. First of all, we walk in the door and they get in a fight, like fucking immediately. But I'll get into that in the minute. Who's they?

they, like the proprietor of the Holocaust Museum and the Translady? Yes. Okay. They know each other? Nope. But I think they recognized each other's souls. But before we get into that fight, let me explain to you guys as best I can. I was very drunk and like many things related to the Internet and the Holocaust, this made

almost no goddamn sense to me. Here's the story. And my understanding is historically, the people who peddle this have taken some things that happened and turned them into a whole event. Here's the story as I understand it. I don't condone any of this. I can't back it up with anything other than John, the guy with a flashing light who's four blocks from the river in Marfa, Texas. Well, these are the makings of a great story right here. Don't put too much pressure on me because the whole time I'm in this place, I'm going try to remember all this droop.

And then every time I was thinking that and trying to get my details, he would drop another fucking bomb on. Hitler, supposedly, was told by God to kill only the Jews who weren't keeping the Sabbath, just like Nefertiti and some other king in the Bible had done. Well, they don't tell you that. Exactly. Well, he fucked up. This was one quote. Here's one quote. Here's one quote, where Hitler went wrong, was that he tried to kill all the Jews, not just the ones not keeping the Sabbath.

Yeah. And true Orthodox Jew will tell you that. Probably. Now, before you guys just assume that this guy is just a crazy anti-Semit, semi, how the fuck you said that word? Yosemite. Yosemite, yeah. He's trying actively to become an Orthodox Jew. his wife

yeah not crazy who would they're studying the Torah they've studied Hebrew and he meant this and this dude was crazy but I don't think he was evil he believes

that Hitler's first plan was to just get rid of unworth of people who weren't following the Sabbath and the way he first tried to do it he claims is he put them on boats put some Jews on boats giant ships and he builds the models

of them they've got him okay there you go There we go. See, now I get it. Yeah. It makes sense. But wait until I get to the 2,500-year-old scroll, Esther wrote,

where she predicted the 10 people that were going to be murdered by the Allies. But before we get there, understand, guys, that what Hitler was trying to do at first was send the bad juice to America. He didn't even want them to get killed. And he was sending them all over Europe on these boats. And Eisenhower turned them around, said, no, go back to your deaths. but the king of Holland accepted some of the Jews. That's why they're still very celebrated there.

I don't know what that means. This guy had no less than 200 model boats, very intricate that he had built himself out of like wood sticks or whatever. And every single one of them are supposedly related to this story that no one wants to talk about. Now here's where it gets weird. I know. He also had a movie poster with like, you know, fucking Hugh Grant's dad.

What was his name? Carrie Grant? That's not. Wait, they weren't. Is Hugh Grant's dad? I didn't know. I just said Carrie Grant because that's the person, but that ain't it. There's no way.

That's right. Well, that's who I'm talking about. Is that not his dad? I don't fucking know, guys. No, no, no, no. Carrie Grant and Hugh Grant are very different. Carrie Grant was very, very famous, but he's not Hugh Grant. James Grant's dad. James Grant's dad is James Grant, which he may have been like a famous actor or something. I don't know.

Listen, I realize how this is all my fault, but no one told me that it was Carrie Grant, and Hugh Grant's dad. I just thought Carrie Grant was Hugh Grant. It's not. Okay. How they all believe that Hollywood's full of pedophiles. I think they're all related, apparently. Anyway, Gary Grant was in the movie. He says that's completely based on this. That this said that for some amount of time, some part of this was real. Now, no part of me even entertains the thought that Hitler just wanted the Jews to go on a nice cruise

and never come back. I don't believe that at all. But some of the cruise. He also claims that some Jewish folk got marched to the Baltics after the war was over and got put on boats on their way to England

and Winston Churchill bombed that boat because they didn't want any one left over to talk about how the world had turned their backs on the Jews. In other words, there was plenty of opportunity to save, if not all, most of the Jews that Hitler himself offered, like, look, I'm going to put them on these boats, and then y'all take them in, and the world

rejected that. That's always worked out for a disenfranchised folk, is the whole put them on a boat and send them somewhere else, gimmick. I told you not to put pressure on me in terms of it being a good story That's a great story. What are you talking about? Well, but what I'm saying is it went nowhere. Other than the fight, John and Eric, the whole time I'm just sitting there like, I don't even know. And then he started talking about the scroll.

There's some kind of scroll where Esther predicted the 10 Nazis who were going to be killed. And at that point, I was like, we have to leave. I've got a big day tomorrow of not hanging out with people who love boats and Jews. That's what's on my agenda. So in that order. So I'm out. Boats and Jews is my favorite lonely island song, by the way. And Jimmy Buffett record.

Brent, you said you like conspiracy theorists or conspiracy theories. And theorists. How did that, yeah. Well, how did that hit you? How did that rank for you? I've never heard that one particular. I was going to say, Drew, when you were saying that, that sounds like a QAnon as far as like. Oh, as far as they predicted that kind of thing, because it's like when somebody predicts the end of the world and it doesn't turn out and they'll be like, oh yeah, that was the wrong one.

So they can like, it's like weird improv where they're like, okay, keep this going. no but. Well, it was, it was weird to me to have someone, look, I've had people say, you don't know everything you think you know about the Holocaust more times than I care to have had that said to me. And I've heard the phrase, where Hitler went wrong,

and I've got to get the fuck out of here. But it's never happened, it's never happened from someone who was like pro-Jewish. Like a big part of this guy's thing is the world, could have saved them, but didn't want to, I don't know, work it out with Hitler or whatever. And that was, you know, that was a big thing. We don't negotiate with terrorists. Let the Jews drown.

Because that was like his whole thing. He's like a Jewish uncle ruckus from the boondocks. Yeah, yeah. He's like self-hating, but also trying to be one of those things at the same time. Yeah. Yeah. How do you feel about like, and I know you're not saying otherwise, Drew, but like, I mean, that person is crazy. Clearly just a lunatic, like an actual lunatic, like a thing, high functioning.

A crazy person. So like, you know, how do you, what do you do with that? Right? Like me, I hear something like that. I hear about somebody like that and that whole thing. And I'm just like, well, okay. Yeah. He's crazy.

Yeah. So let I think the high functioning part. What are you going to do? You know, right. I think the high functioning part is what's scary. Yeah. But he's dedicated his crazy.

Okay. Have you ever tried to make a model boat? Yeah. He's in the coast yard. He filled his house with fucking boat. His house in Marfa, Texas. Y'all are like, this ain't the same Q we're talking about here. Like it might be.

I agree. We have one that wants. once it gets the word out, fucking people put respect on this guy. I agree with you, but there's power in, there's power in numbers

and like, I don't know, he's obviously not Hitler, but Hitler was crazy. Like, I know what you're saying, but if crazy people have some money or some guns

and they all get together, they could be something like Alex Jones. Alex Jones is fucking insane, but, and he's detrimental like to society. Well, this guy's in Marfa, Texas.

Like I don't... Building boats. A building boat. Little tiny boats. It ain't worth the fuck for nothing. I don't know. He told me somebody from the New York Times is going to come to a story on him.

I bet they are. But... All right, one more thing. Brent, you said you like conspiracies. Do you know about the conspiracy related to the Titanic and J.P. Morgan? Where they essentially sunk the boat for insurance money, right? Yes.

And it wasn't the Titanic. It was a ship that was almost identical to the Titanic at the same time. And when you go down, you could see the imprint of that name. I don't know what it was on the side. Does this have to do with the, is there, does this involve a story that was written by an author

that basically predicted the Titanic to a T? Yeah. But years before the Titanic had. That shit is wild. That, because that, that objectively did occur. It was called the Titan. The Titan, yes. But I just wonder if, if you're making,

if you're coming up with this conspiracy theory, I feel like you would include that. You'd be like, see, what happened was, J.P. Morgan, read this story and then it came up hatched this whole scheme or whatever is that part of it I'm just pulling that out of my ass

I feel like they missed it brick yeah if they didn't do that I think they fucked up is what I'm saying and I too brint do you know I don't know because I was running away from a crazy man yeah I don't know that one particularly because to me at the end of the day I don't give a shit whether it was the Titanic or not

you know what I'm saying it's like when people are like I don't maybe we didn't go to the moon I don't give a fuck if we went to the bootleg. And you could put that on a t-shirt. But I don't give a fuck if we went to the murder. I've always said the same thing. It was like, honestly, if we did fake the moon landing,

I'd come out and say that now because that to me is more impressive. There's no way. Of course not. If we did that, that would, they would have had to. More impressive, but that would be insanely fucking impressive. They would have had to kill it in 1969 and pulled it off to that degree. would have been fucking nuts. They would have had to kill Buzz.

They would let any of them dudes live if they'd faked it. You know what I mean? Like they would have had to have them die upon reentry and been like, oh, we got there and then it fucked up. Can we like Buzz Aldrin could have just lived his whole life only punching one dude. You know what I'm saying? Like that wouldn't have been the case. Can you imagine being the guy that?

You're really speaking. Can you imagine being the guy that went to the moon and then have your whole life being like, you didn't go to no moon? I know when this dude hadn't even been to the state of Florida. It's way better, Brent, to be that guy and have people like me and you going, I don't give a fuck if you went to the moon. Well, I do feel that way. I used to have a bit about how I don't care if they killed Kennedy.

And like, I also feel that way. Like, good, they killed Kennedy. Good. He's our hero now. If you'd have lived, he'd have to rape people. He definitely would have. He probably did anyway. We just found out about it.

Yeah, I'm glad. We were allowed to back then. Yeah, I mean, that's Harvey Dent, dude. JFK was Harvey Dent, like, without a doubt. Right, the martyr. Well, now that we've, Ray and Hill, yeah. Don't either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I like it.

Joe, what order is everybody in? Are you in gallery mode or speaker mode? I'm in the one where you can see all of us. gallery. Who's on, who's on top? Top left for me is Brent, top right is me, bottom right is Drew and bottom left as you. Well, because Drew and Brent are side by side on mine

and they look like some kind of before and after picture. Yeah. COVID. Depression, the pandemic. Yeah, COVID is what. Free COVID vaccine and then getting a lot of weight. Philadelphia. Yeah.

Philadelphia. Maybe. Philadelphia cream cheese. the Philadelphia story. Before you got on here, Trey, Brent said we could tour as some kind of white version

of the Hodge twins when this is all over. I think that's what they do. Now that we're, Brent, Brent, where can everybody find you? Brentcom. com is my website,

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and parlor. Check me out on I'm tired of being silenced. Dude, okay, real quick, since you brought up, I didn't, I didn't know about that yet. My sister texted me this morning before I woke up, I woke up, and I had a screenshot from my little sister. She had taken a screenshot from Facebook of my college girlfriend.

Like I, you know, and she was like, at the time, this girl cheated on me, fucked me up. It was a whole thing, like everybody that knew me then knows it because everybody else hated her pretty much. right but anyway uh she sent me a screenshot this morning my college girlfriend um and it was posting about parlor and like recommending parlor and everybody go to parlor and the comments were filled with people i went to college with like other people i knew who were also like oh i'll see you there girl oh i can't wait getting it set up right now or whatever but i didn't know i didn't know what that was i told page i was like i don't know what that is and so i i i got

Googled Parlor. And when it popped up and I read the first line on Wikipedia and it's like, Parlor is a micro blogging and social networking website founded in 2018. Its user base consists primarily of conservatives, something else, and Saudi nationalist. And I just, it killed me. I just wanted to say that fucking howdy Arabia, man, they're out here. Howdy Arabia rides again. But, like, the fact that they don't, like, I don't get how that, how they are just, how that hits for them, you know, to like, like, you literally are just, like, y'all Qaeda is a thing.

It's also, it's a real thing and you're just okay with it now. Like, when you wanted to kill every towelhead in September, later September of 2001, but now you're turning into them and you're just sort of fine with that. And they're whatever. They're finding their own little safe space on the internet. I mean, and it's also spelled wrong. Like there's a lot of stuff here that really works. Just so on the,

it's so, it's such self-parity. It's such self-parody that they're completely unaware of. It's so fucking wild. And also a couple things. They act like, A, we can't just go over. Yeah,

I'm thinking about it. No, I'm going to go. I'm going to because I honestly think my videos will do better over there. Yeah, right. I think Brent may be able to speak to this one. I've often felt like people, like if someone really, really likes a video, they'll like it. But if they really, really, really hate it, they'll retweet it because they have to let you know

why they hate it, you know, because you can't unlike something. So I was like, I think I might just go to parlor and just be the goddamn heel for once, you know, like be the fucking heel. But like, yeah, they act like, we can't just. We can't figure out passwords like they can. And also, like we give a fuck, if all the worst people on the internet just go leave. Yeah, just leave. Oh, no, please don't.

Oh, God, man. I would hate it if Twitter was nothing but funny shit and buttholes all the time. Yeah, you mean Facebook might head again? Yeah, God. You would suck. Guys, Mark Zuckerberg can't find us if we spell it wrong. I completely agree with y'all about it hitting more, but I do think if that lasts,

it's definitely going to be a cesspool that continues the miseducation and increases the violence of a further, further growing while pretending to be the victim and minority population that we got going on in America. It's really fucking dark, boys. But it is, but like they're going to do that anyways, I feel like. So it's nice for it not to be on my shit. Not if you send your money to Project Lincoln.

Today's episode is sponsored by Project Lincoln. A bunch of fucking Republicans who want you to know that they don't want to be racist anymore. They want to go back to before when they weren't racist. Use our promo code, balcony seats at Project Lincoln.com. All right. So, sorry, Brent, you said Parlor and sent me on a whole tie, right? No, that's the only.

social media that counts anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Just search my name on whatever social media you got. I'm there. Right. Oh, man, we didn't get to talk about it, but congrats on making it into the urban dictionary. That rules. Oh, yeah. I didn't see that. Yeah. Turhune. Yeah, Turhune is in the urban dictionary, which is odd, but, you know, next to like a glass bottom boat or whatever. That's fucking great, man. Congratulations. I think you can still order a car. coffee mugs off there. I might have to do that with Thurhune. But yeah, I was looking to see like, who's getting money from this from Trujune? Because I'm not. Not you. All right, guys. Well, this is
