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.

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

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

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it.

Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled 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 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 it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money.

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

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

They're rednecks. They like cornbread but sex. They care way too much, but don't give a fun. They're the next step makes some people upset But they got three big old dicks that you can suck Y'all good at buying presents I'm like notoriously terrible at buying presents And I never it sucks because like Katie will laugh about it most of the time

She's I don't think she's ever liked a single present that I've ever gotten her And like she will like laugh it off but but she like I don't know I still have to do it You know what I mean? It's not that I don't want to. I actually like giving gifts. I'm just everybody that knows me well knows that I'm pretty bad at it a lot of the times and like especially her. So that's the only reason I don't want to do it. It's because it's always been bad and I know it's going to be bad again. And it's like, do we have to, can we come up with some other arrangements so we can just avoid me getting upset when you don't like what I do, which we both know is going to happen. And just it's torture every time.

Me and Amber don't do Christmas. That is our Christmas gift to each other. Is, hey, you don't have to worry about it. I don't have to worry about it because we're already dealing with everybody else. We just do birthdays. But that being said, like, yes, and I feel, and maybe I'm wrong, but like I always feel like, since I'm a creative person, there's like this perception that, like, oh, you would, you should be really good at getting gifts because you have a really good imagination.

and you, you know, claim to understand people and yada, yada, yada. And I always, every year, me and getting Christmas presents for people is like, I go into it the exact same way as I do fantasy football, which is like this year, it's going to be the one. Like, I'm going to fucking crush it. I'm going to pay attention all year. Matter of fact, I'm going to just throughout the year buy presents for people instead of waiting until the end so I'm not stressed.

When I see something that reminds me to somebody, I'm a fucking do it. And then I end up not doing that, but I end up. getting everybody's shit and thinking, dude, I've finally done it. And then day of when they're opening them, I'm like, this is, this is garbage. Like, everyone here has done such a good thoughtful job. What the fuck is your problem? I don't, I can't, I don't have a good example. It's just they never hit.

And nobody tells me, but they don't hit. I bet they do hit. No, they don't hit. I bet that this is another one of those examples of like, like a lot of self-hate is just narcissism. Right. You know, like, like everyone hates me and it's like, no one's thinking about you. I bet everyone likes, like, I bet everyone likes your gift, but you're just like, you know, it's like an anxiety.

It's a neuroses. Maybe. I only have started feeling this way since me and Amber have been together, and coincidentally, she- Women will do that to you. No, I know, but it's because, in my opinion, she's, like, the greatest gift giver of all time. Like, she will get me something, like, she'll get me something that, like, I forgot that I had mentioned in past. Like, you know, like, I almost cry even, I'll just like, oh, my God, you remembered. And it's just like, she does, instead of doing like one big thing, she does like five little

things that are like thematic. And it's just, it's just really good. And I always think I'm like, you know, it tells a story. It tells a story. And I'm like, I mean, I bought her a phone, but like, shit. That's really sweet. Yeah, I know. No, I know it is.

Like, it's like, and I think that's why I feel so insecure about it because I'm like, God damn, like this otherwise boring waste of breath. really did something. Maybe that's why you don't know how to get her gift. Just call her a boring waste of breath. I was hoping that she could hear me and yell at me. Sorry. I think I'm medium at it, Trey.

I think I'm really good at getting Andy gifts. I'm pretty good at getting my dad gifts when no one else is. Never know what the fuck to get my mother. With teenagers, I've been 50-50 with John and Jacob. and Maddox. Yeah, those my nephews and niece. Yeah, I think I'm 50-50.

Maybe it depends on the person. I don't know. Yeah, LJ is at the age where I'm crushing it, but just because... Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess I should probably say I don't, I'm not at all

including the boys in that because you have same, same thing. Yeah. Like, I could get... For the next two years. And that's fine. Yeah. I could just...

Well, even with adults. Oh. No, no, no, go ahead. I think I'm 50-50, but I just realize maybe I need to drop it down to 60, 40, 60, 60 being bad because just as one example, I thought of the greatest gift for my mother-in-law this year and I'm 99% sure we didn't do that because I just told Andy it was a good idea and then

forgot about it. Like, oh, shit, and that's shitty. Like, thinking of the good gift is only half of it. You have to buy it. Yeah. It's not true. It's not actually the thought that counts when you really break it down. Like, you can't just show up at Christmas and be like, imagine this. I, you know. I think I get it for my mom. My mom's 50-50. My mom is one of the most thought. thoughtful people in the world and she puts a lot of thought into gifts. Because of that, when she nails it, it is so unbelievably great. She got me a custom-made denim jacket with the end of the Abisket logo on the back. That's awesome.

But even though she's really thoughtful, she blows it sometimes because she's extremely corny. So it's like, this gift is perfect for Andy. And I'm like, this gift says on it literally all the things Andy is into, but she doesn't just want to put up a sign that says aunt love hippie rock and roll right that's not yeah my my mom i maintain that she's really good too like we just had my birthday and i was like mom you always crush it and she told me and has always told me she's like honestly i don't think i do with everyone but you are the easiest person to get gifts for because you where like if if i'm into something i fucking tell everyone that shit like there's no secrets and i get and like i get super super into stuff you know

how I do. Like, I binge on things. And I just get insanely hype about stuff. Like, I will fucking show out. Like, Amber got me a pair of socks that has Chewbacca wearing a do-rag and it says Tupacca. And I fucking turn up for them socks just like I would if you bought me a fucking Lexus or something like that. But like, you know, I don't know. But then it turns around, I suck it getting gifts and I feel bad. Yeah. Remember I was saying like it's real easy to get my eight and nine-year-old son's gifts? Yes. It's like that. I know. It's like that. It is like that. Yeah.

It really, like, it really truly is. Like, Amber got me this fucking, like, glass, uh, drinking horn thing. I fucking love it so much. It's the greatest thing in the world. Like, I'm happy for years. Yeah. I got you a $200 drinking horn. You seem to have lost it.

It's no big of those. No, it's displayed on my office up there. You guys. Do I still have yours, by the way? Mine personally or Trace? Yeah, or did I give it back to you? I had got mine at some point. Yeah.

I, I, I have lost mine a long time ago, but I didn't. The boys loved that thing and took to it immediately, which I told you about the time, and you thought that was cool and it was cool, but God knows where it actually is now. I mean, it's buried in their room. It's buried in their room somewhere.

Yeah. But they kind of just confiscated mine immediately. I love that. Because it was so cool. But anyway. Do you even have anything that's yours anymore? Is it all just become Katie's or theirs? Yeah.

I mean, I guess the ladder pretty much. I don't really... Literally a ladder. Yeah. Yeah, my issue. Get off that, boys. No. I don't...

Big piece of chicken. That's what that gets. I might Katie go up the ladder. Like, when we did the Christmas slice and stuff, I'd be holed it, send her ass up there. Me too. Me too. And my fucking buddies drove by.

She cleaned out our gutters last week, and I held... Dude, I'm fucking daint. I'm terrified of heights, though, like, on God. I'm scared of heights, too, but I... And I'm not just saying this. I... With, like, the way Katie, I will, I have to like force her. We almost have a fight in me forcing her to allow me to be the one who climbs the goddamn ladder because she takes such, she's got such a thing about.

And I know this is fucked up. So we talked last week about how like, you know, she thinks I'm not to do shit and I won't do any manly shit or fix anything. She does think that. But the flip side of that that I didn't tell you all last week, which is also true is that like she eats that shit up. Oh, yeah, yeah. The other side of that is that she does a lot of it and she's so, so proud of the fact that she loves to tell everybody that she is the handy person around the house and she doesn't want to fix this stuff or whatever.

And again, I'm always like, you're not, that's not the whole, you're not telling the whole context or the whole story here and she doesn't. But anyway, this is, the latter is a thing like that. Like, obviously, I'll be like, let me, I have to like force her to let me get up there and do a couple strands of lights just so I can say that I did something because she don't, she don't want to allow me to do it. She's like, no, you don't know how to do it. You'll, you'll fuck it up. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. So it's a... Amber, Amber genuinely loves getting drunk and going up on the roof. Like, honestly, like, it really hits for her.

Because I get her up on the ladder and she just stays on the roof and she just texts me when to come get her. Like, move the ladder over the other side. But, like, I'm terrified of heights, but, like, all my buddies driving by, they see her up there knowing my fat ass is in. And, like, I can't flag all of them down and be like, yo, it's a genuine phobia. I would do it, but she likes it. So, like, yeah, I'm just the fucking pussy. Like, nobody ever hears my side. Yeah, yeah.

Sorry, Katie's texting me right now. Well, you do it there. Probably wants me to pretend she wants me to do something. She'll come watch her do something so she can talk about it later. Well, while you check on that, I wanted to, I thought of one more thing about gift given. This is a perfect example of who I am as a gift giver. I thought of the greatest gift for Andy this year. It's a telescope.

I'm going to get her a nice but beginner's telescope. She's very into the stars. She loves the idea. It's not going to be here till like the end of January, six weeks after her birthday and a month after Christmas, because I thought of it but just didn't do shit about it. Well, see, I think that hits because, and let me tell you why, because that happened to me one year with something like my dad fucked around

and forgot that like, oh, shit, sometimes stuff takes a long time to deliver on Christmas. Christmas. And so, you know, I got a couple Christmas gifts and then he like apologized to me. And I was like, oh, it's okay. And then three weeks later, I done forgot that shit. And then boom, Christmas again. And Andy's a Cho. So like, it might not hit for her right now, but she will be so fucking happy when she gets a double Christmas. Yeah. Yeah. She's already worked it out to get double two because on the 21st, Venus and Saturn, I think, are going to be real close together. So we're Yeah. Ah, Saturnalia. Yes. Very important. We're renting a telescope for Saturnalia.

is that is it really saturnalia or is that well i know i think because i looked it up for one of the christmas jokes i did but like last year saturnalia is some kind of hippie type something that happens like a soul just generally around christmas time you know uh but i don't know anything about it beyond that does it actually have no i don't know if you have a telescope i literally I would imagine, yes. Oh, you're, December 21st. That's when black people get all their superpowers.

That's the mean for Twitter. It's winter, winter equinox is what that is, right? It is also that, but it has, but apparently related to that, or maybe not even, two planets, I think it's Saturn and Venus. It might be Saturn and Jupiter are the closest together they ever are during the year. And this year, it's the closest they've ever been in like 400 years. So if you have a telescope, they'll look right beside each other. So, okay.

I mean, that's cool. I'm super into that, actually. Can you see the rings? I may come over. In fact, if you're going to have a telescope. Fucking, I said, understanding is yes with the one we're trying to get. Right.

It's winter. Solstice, right? Solstice. Summer and winter are solstices. Spring and fall are equinoxia or whatever. And they are, yeah, the first days of each of each. those seasons and they all fall on the 21st. I know because my wedding anniversary is summer solstice, June 21st.

Lucky. Yeah, it was always hot as hell in the south. But I just mean you can remember. The telescope thing, here's another kind of funny Katie story. I was a little bit high the other night. Do you remember when I texted you all about? And you'd already seen it and you were just about to text about it when I texted about the moon having a halo.

Yeah. I don't know if this was happening in Georgia. Corey, you were asleep already. I don't know if this was everybody's moon, just the West Coast moon, because I don't know enough to know how it works. I'd venture to say, I had a buddy named Two Moons in Yellowstone, two moons, Therene.

I would venture to say it was just y'all, and I said it because DJ didn't say nothing about it. You know what I mean? And that motherfucker always hollered. He does, but he also goes to bed at like fucking eight. Me and him actually have like the same schedule. Like, we go to bed super early and we're both up at like four 30 months. Like, I hear you, buddy.

These motherfuckers are wild. It's weird how you need sleep after you did meth throughout your 20s. Another ongoing. Was Two Moons native or was he just like one of those hippie kids? Hippy. Yeah. I mean, he was, he was like, he wasn't like one of them like Breckenridge kids, if that's what you mean. Like, Two Moons had street cred.

I just wouldn't know if he was a Native American or a dude. He did a lot of drugs. Dude, I'm certain that like somebody in his family was a 16th. You know what I'm saying? Sure. But like, no, son. this month he looks like Mario Battali two moons

he looks he looks he looks like Mario Battali he had his cheeks he looked like Mario Battali except for he had super fucking curly hair and my man's was the chef at Yellowstone

uh Luna that's Italian for Moon right Luna Battali yeah and he was awesome Two Moons if you're listening holler at me dude it's been 12 years

hell holler at me two moons yeah he's like Andy's like he already hollered at me we hang out she's been knowing two phones.

Anyway, real quick, another ongoing thing with me and Katie is like, you know, she's always showing me stuff typically on her phone, memes and whatnot, half of which I roll my eyes at, you know, other half are pretty good. But a lot of them roll my eyes out. So that's like a running joke with us too. And so this night, we was watching our stories on the TV there. I had had like my one quarter of a weed gummy. And she goes, pause this, pause this.

I need to show you something. So of course, immediately I'm like, I don't, do I have to pause it? At least she says pause it before she just starts doing it. Right. And she's like, she's like, just pause. She like gets the remote pauses it. She's like, come here. And now she gets up and walks out the door.

And I was like, really? You know, like to me, it just keeps getting worse. I'm like, oh, I got to get up. I got to go outside. I thought I was just going to watch a video from Waynesboro Facebook or something. This is the whole thing. And she's like, just get out of here. And I'm like, you know, I'd be.

And I drag myself out on the front porch. She's like, check that out. And I look up and immediately my entire everything changes because the fucking moon has a halo. For those of y'all that didn't see it, the moon's bright as hell right in the center. And there's a very clearly defined like ethereal halo, like a ring of light.

Moon ring. Encircling the entire moon. And that shit was wow. Like immediately I was like, I was like, what? You know, I completely changed by tone. and I pulled my phone. I was like, oh my God.

Look at, I was like the double rainbow guy. And so then she made fun of me for being like too into it. Yeah. That's a fine line. Like you just kind of, it's a very fine line. Look at this motherfucker.

It was a huge hit on her part, but it was too much of a hit. Yeah, Drew's showing a picture of it. Look at that. You can even see on like cell phone pictures, how wild it looks. Looks like a eye. Big eye or a moon titty, yes.

Or maybe this is basic. and I've surely, because I've seen that, that's happened before that I've, maybe not like that intense, but like, what, what is it, what, how it do that? I'll have to, I mean, we looked at, Katie looked it up that night. I'll have to look it up to. I figured your nerd ass would have went and did a thousand words on it already. I was, uh, I was out of sorts that night, man. No, yeah, that's. Yeah, so you got to be high too. Yeah, right.

If he was high, he could remember it. This is it. This is it. This is it. A 22 degree halo is a, an optical phenomenon that belongs to the family of ice crystal halos. Its form is a ring with an apparent radius of approximately 22 degrees around the sun or the moon. When visible around the moon, it's called a moon ring or winter halo. I combined the two and got it wrong. It forms as direct

sunlight or moonlight is refracted in millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. So rain clouds. And this says, but this has got to be very dependent on where you are in the world, like in colder areas or something, because I've literally never seen one of these that I can remember. But this says a 22-degree halo may be visible on as many as 100 days per year,

much more frequently than rainbows. But that part's hard for me to believe. I mean, I've seen it before, but not a lot. Well, I've also seen smaller ones. So I don't understand the 22-degree thing. does it not matter where the ice crystals are? Because what was so impressive about that one was how huge it was. I feel like I've seen a moon ring smaller and less defined than that night before.

Well, I think if you, this I'm pulling out of my ass, and I'm also not calling you a liar. But I think, if you think about how like these ice crystals, they form in a certain level of the atmosphere, right? Okay. That is always the same distance from you on the ground as the, the ant that you are, and also the moon be where the moon be. So follow what I'm saying. Like, it seems like it would be uniform to me because the dimensions, the distances don't change. Isn't its orbit slightly elliptical?

I don't know. Maybe. I know I know ours be. The earth's be. So it might be closer. But I'm also, I hear what you're saying, but the ice crystals, it seems like they could be lower or higher. in the atmosphere, which should change where I see it in relation to myself. Does that make sense?

As light passes through the 60 degree apex angle of the hexagonal ice prisms, it's deflected twice, resulting in deviation angles ranging from 22 to 50 degrees. So it can deviate, yes. As I... As I... How the light bends when you're looking at it, apparently. As I pulled that out of my house, I tried to smoke this back backwards. Hits.

Yeah. Hey, were you, are you, I think I know the answer to this question, Trey, but like, was you super into, like, stars and shit when you was a kid? Oh, my God, yes. Was it like a smart thing? Or, like. I mean, of course, I think it's a smart thing. Well, I know.

I didn't know if it was just like a, like a, oh, just anywhere but here. You know what I mean? I mean, yeah, to be fair, maybe. Yeah, smart. Lay there listening to, lay there listening to be like that. by three doors down. Oh, my God. Me and the,

me and the guy from three doors down, we're looking at the same stars tonight in the sky. Well, because, I don't know. Because when I was a kid, like, I would, dude, I fucking loved it when our school would go to the planetarium. And, like, I really, and when I mean kid,

I mean, like, elementary school kid. And, like, I loved it when we'd go to the science lab. And then, like, dude, I changed schools. And, like, you know, when you change schools, like, you're trying to, like, you know, be popular and get, like, fit in or whatever. I like overcorrected and that's when I truly found out how funny I could be. And then I just, that was it.

And I was like, fuck school, school. And like, but I didn't retain none of them. Who need stars? I got bitches. Woo! Like, it never like, it's not like in my mind, all that stuff stopped hitting for me, but it was like, I couldn't take time away from hitting to do my work because I was hitting so hard. And so like, I'm always like, goddamn, I can't wait to get back into this shit with my kids.

Because like, right now I'm not just going to go. read about stars. So I would say that I'm still very into it. You know, like it's still very much hits for me. Yeah. I don't know as many just like offhand facts about as I did when I was like, because I was that type of.

I knew a little, I knew all that shit, dorky kid. Like boom, I used to like parrot, right. I used to parrot like facts and stuff that I would learn about subjects that hit from me or whatever.

I can't do that anymore when it comes to space. I mean, maybe some of it, but like not to that degree, but I'm still very nerdy about space. and all things space. And I'm about to take this to a really raven place. And I'm actually glad you glad you brought this up.

So I've had the thought before when it comes to space. This is about to be so me when I get to my ultimate conclusion here, which will take 15 minutes also. That's fine. Let it rip. There, I've always been very into space, extremely. And because of that, like I progressively read more and more about, like, physics and astronomy.

and just space, the science of space and things like that, right? And I saw, there was a time when I was in my, like, early 20s probably where I've long since gotten, moved past this,

accepted my limitations, but there was a time when I really, really wanted to like, really understand physics and like, wanted to understand as much as possible about black holes and fucking string theory and all this type of stuff. Like I desperately wanted to. And I got all these books and I would read these books and whatever.

And here's why I'm getting at. There was always a point where I would like, I just, I could, I literally couldn't. Like, I could tell, I had to reach a point and I would always consider myself very smart. Right. And it frustrated you that you couldn't figure something out. Oh, it frustrated the shit out of me because I would always reach a certain point where I was, and I had to accept. I was like, I, this is literally, this is, this is God. Yeah.

This is beyond me. Like, this is beyond my capacity to understand this. no matter what I do, I cannot wrap my brain around this. And here's the raven part. I thought later, like, is that how dumb people be about, about like, I don't know, universal health care or whatever? It really is. That, like, I can't understand how. Take away the self-awareness.

I can't. Right. But I'm saying, like, literally, literally certain subjects, their brains can't, can't, cannot. grasp or you know understand it I know what you mean but you're just defining dumb I know how it sounds but I'm saying

but I'm saying they get so frustrated and mad and like at least with you it took metaphysics in string theory right but also like it like I know exactly how that feels is what I'm saying you know how it feels to be done

once you get yeah once you get to like yeah I was about to say once you get to fucking Christopher Hitchie you know, the last paragraph and his third blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, you know what? This is a bit much. Yeah. But no, I mean, that bit about you had about...

I said it was going to be Super Raven, and I know it is Super Raven, but I'm saying, though, like, is that... That makes sense? Y'all know what I'm saying? Is that how it is? I literally had the same experience with both physics and black holes and related to physics, some kinds of math. Oh, bro.

All right. Math was always part of this for me, by the way. Yeah. I think that the physics, you could do a lot of it with a teacher. Yeah. You are probably quite used to figuring things out on your own. And if you had a course, a course in it, you would probably be able to wrap your head around at least some of it. I think it's one of those things like a language where it would just start clicking and then click more. I want to, I don't want to necessarily.

I'm number dumb. like literally in like I had to go take a test and I have a learning disability where numbers to me is is the same as what words are to a dyslexic person like they literally sometimes yeah like when I will when I look at them they they will like fucking just all jumble together and like I like I can do it but I really I really really like hey thank God for fucking that calculators is just a thing and he's like that but like I know and can tell you how to do all sorts of things but like Like once I go to actually sit there and do it, looking at the numbers, my fucking brain fries. And like I could never, ever do it at any type of speed. And then I would just get so fucking frustrated.

And now I don't give a shit because literally any type of math that I ever need to do can be done on a calculator. So it's fine. But like, but like I never knew what was going on because every other, like I could, I crushed. I was a smart kid.

I could make A's and whatever I wanted to like, you know, slack off. But like math like always was just like, I was like, I don't get it. like, this dude sitting here beside me is one of the dumbest motherfuckers I've ever met. And he's fucking smoking it. And I can't do it.

And it's like, they just like jumble together. And I just can't, something shuts off. Don't hit. Math and cleaning gutters. It ain't your thing, man. But I'm literally number dumb. You and Andy's personalities is like the biggest argument for, uh, I forget what it's called, astrology.

And she just said it from the kitchen. And it makes me mad as head. Well, fuck that bullshit. Did you hear that, Andy? She did not. Okay. Dude, with all these goddamn thing. I wanted to ask you,

you said you don't want to just go study about stars. You're waiting on having kids. You like watch wrestling, read comic books, watch Doctor Who. I mean, that hits for me, but like, what's the difference here? I want to do those things way more than I want to read about stars. Okay. And so I don't have time in my, like,

like like like my also another point is like I know I will eventually get to stars with them so why get ahead you know what I mean that's fast forward six years well star wars counts guys stars start might as well yeah but there's certain things that I'm just like I'm you know like I'm I'm excited to relearn more about because Georgia history was it was one of my favorite subjects and I love I mean all history was but then I think sometimes like I can't wait to reread all that stuff with my kids and I'm like hey you could just do it now and I'm like why I'm like why I'm I'm going to do it then. Like, why the fuck would I, you know what I mean? Like, why would I waste? But yes, like, right now I'm way more into fictitious stars. I've got another kind of trippy brain thing that was on my list. It seems like a well enough place to throw it in there. Good.

Just how, it's just how, I don't know. Our brains is wild, right? Yes, they are. They don't hit. Brains is wild. It's hard to parse the brain and how it works. So, like, it's a small thing, but it was just kind of, kind of trippy. It happened last night while watching Netflix and,

it happened to me and Katie at the same time without us realizing that it happened to the other one. It made us both feel dumb at first. We're watching a show. Ever since we've had children, we watch everything with the subtitle zone because it just made it easier to, we didn't have to crank the volume up when they were asleep, but we didn't have to miss any dialogue. I do if it's not a comedy.

We don't have to do that anymore, but we just got in the habit and never stopped. And honestly, it kind of hits for me now. As long as it's not a comedy, I can't do it on comedy. Right, which is fair because it ruins the post.

punchline. But, but, but so we've, so anyways, having said that, we're watching a show last night that we just started on HBO Macs called the flight attendant. We're only a couple episodes. Oh, is it good? Kelly Cucco. Yeah, it's, uh, you know, it's murder, murder mystery type thing. So like, yeah, to be determined. But it ain't bad. It's, you know, hold your interest and all that for sure. But we're just getting started. There was a scene of dialogue where two characters repeated a little like flight attendant slogan to each other. And it was new root, new me. Right, which means like put that old shit behind you, basically. But, like route, I'm not correct. Yeah, they both pronounced it root, but yes, like route, new, new, but they both pronounced it root. They both pronounced it the same way. New root, new me. First flight attendant said it, but when she said it, they subtitled it wrong. I don't know why.

R O, okay? No, they subtitled it as parentheses speaking foreign language. Okay. and then so I was like, the fuck she just say? You know what I mean? Like she said new root, knew me,

but I saw speaking foreign language and I was like, what was that? What's she doing? And then when the other girl repeated it back to her, and she said, new root,

knew me, my brain went, new root, oh, she said it, like, it made it make sense to me after the fact.

Whereas, if I hadn't read that, if that subtitle hadn't said, that, I'm sure I would have understood it. Of course. But because I read, because my brain read, this is a foreign language, even though it wasn't, it's the language I've spoken since birth and not a complicated form of it or anything, my brain still couldn't understand it because it wasn't in like English mode.

You understand what I'm saying? No, I do. It's weird. Have you seen those TikToks where someone says the same exact phrase, but they write a different phrase? Yeah. Yeah. So it's the same, it's not just the same phrase. It's a repeated clip.

Yeah. I can't think of a phrase. Let's say it's, I don't know, seller door. And they say, seller door, and then they say it twice. And it is, the word seller door pops up. And then the next time it's something else, and you fucking hear the other phrase. It's crazy. Like 100% you hear it.

That fucking, what was that one that got popular, like right around the blue dress shit? I can't remember it, man. But it was fucking. Yonnie and something. Yonnie and something. What was the other thing? Yeah, and it was one of those two where I had the same experience, like with the blue and the white dress. If I was drunk, I saw it one way.

And if I was sober, I saw it the other way. Laurel. And Laurel and it was the same way. Every now and then I would hear it different depending on the fucking state of mind I was in, which like I think drunk, like, with the dress thing, it was all about the cones in your eyes or some shit. And when you're drunk, you know, you see double and your visions. I mean, that makes fucking sense. But like, yeah, your cones are fucked up. Yeah, the cones don't hit.

Um, but yeah, that shit, that shit, man, like, goddamn. Like, that bugs me the fuck out. Like, yeah, I'm like, yes, your brain can like, trick itself. Trick itself. Yeah, exactly. Trick itself. Like the exact same input or data or whatever can be interpreted completely differently, uh, depending on like the context or whatever.

And it just makes you want to how many times something, some version of that has happened, but you, it wasn't. pointed out to you or you never even realized that it had happened. You know what I mean? Like that's susceptible we are to like. And you punched your friend for no reason. Conditioning. Right.

Well, you know. For real though. Like I think about that with like repressed memories too. Like you'll hear somebody like they go to therapy and like, you know, they're 40 something years old. And all of a sudden like they literally, they're like, holy shit, I was fucking molested or what like.

And they genuinely pushed that shit down so hard that they didn't even fucking remember that. Like I'm always worried. like one day I'm gonna just figure out I did some shit at nine that really don't hit for me because my brain is so good at like I'm gonna protect you right now but like dog it if for real can do that like it's crazy I'm not in no way saying that I think any of that has gone on with me but I also have always worried about that too because I had you know bit of a rocky childhood right a bit and according to page has straight up said for years that she knows for a fact that I have

repressed a lot of shit from our childhood. And that don't hit for me. Oh, I'm sure that you were just saying, like, where it's parts of it's just going to come flooding back at 45 or whatever the fuck and then I'll have that to deal with too. That's the only part that don't hit, right, for you is like that it might come back. Yeah, yes. I'm fine with, yeah.

Oh, I love that. I love the idea that your brain hits so much that it can do that. And I mean, God, Trey's brain. There's no telling what it can do. So, like, you have, you have this mechanism because, like, I definitely think that's an important thing for like there's, it probably, if something did happen,

it's like, well, you got to have a good childhood because your brain shut that one off and you didn't think about it every day. But like, yeah, dog, like the thought of being 50 and going to a therapist and something just

clicked and now all of a sudden you've got to live with the fact that your entire world views completely different. Listen, don't get us wrong, guys. Don't get us wrong. You should go to therapy. It's a good thing to do.

That's true. We're not trying to imply otherwise. That's exactly what you should. should do is you should go to therapy and you know it's difficult to know how to go about it people typically say oh it's too expensive but you know how much you spend on your coffee every day or like another pair of sweatpants that you don't need but i mean who can have enough sweatpants but still is that stuff more important than your mental health well with talk space you can take care of your mental health without dipping into your savings account yeah guys right now we're we're you know we're all full-time

They all hit. Also, if you're more of the lozange persuasion, you can get four milligrams of nicotine

in lozance form and cherry, ice flavor. All the flavors hit. All of it hits. What do you think about it, Cho? I think it's absolutely tremendous. I was more of a pomegranate man, but as I've said on this many times, I actually don't use nicotine at all anymore and haven't for like, oh, Jesus, I want to say like 15 or so weeks now, thanks to my friends at Lucy. I didn't even realize I was quitting. I was enjoying the gum and the next thing you know, weigh myself off. So great shit. Couldn't recommend it more. And here's the deal, guys.

eat nicotine. Yep. Thank you, Lucy. Thank you. Talk space. Back to the action. Brains. Don't hit.

No, but they do hit so hard. They're like the internet in that way. They're like the internet in a lot of ways. Yeah, for sure. But it's like, every time I think, I'm like, God damn it, it's so complicated. It don't hit. And my brain constantly tries to kill me. And then I'm like, it's just neat that it's even capable of that.

You know, like, that's pretty cool. Yeah. Like the same thing. I can remember a sweet potato casserole recipe and a set of titties I saw when I was 20 right beside each other, which again. Yeah. And that time I said something weird in front of somebody who I didn't take respect to me. Trey, I know that you had that. That was a joke from The Void, your critically acclaimed short film.

But dog, especially since you put that in there, like I think about it even more. Or, yeah, thank you. But, like, dude, it's like that cliche meme. Like, my head will hit the pillow and I'm right about to fall asleep. And my brain will just be like, you remember third grade when you farted? And I'm like, God damn it. But it's, dude, it's fucking, it, it really, the brain is something else. And it doesn't hit.

No, it don't hit. I got something that I think will be controversial for Cho here, very, very, very different topic. Okay. Also, I, um. Got to talk shit about pork. kind of kind of except yes

I would never no but I feel like you might respond to what I am going to talk shit about in a similar fashion also I know I can't think who

like probably Jim Gaffigan and maybe multiple more have had bits about this and I'm acknowledging that I just want to talk about for a minute like how egregious

and much of an affront to God is the fucking bread bowl like in no I'm not for it I'm not okay all right I think

I like a good bread bowl. Okay. Excuse me. Let me allow me for a second because I'm afraid people are just going to hear me say I'm not for it and then move on. Obviously, if that's what I'm being served, like if I go over to someone's house and they have made a nice bread bowl for the soup in, I'm going to, it doesn't make the soup worse. The soup still tastes fine. And every now and then you get that bottom of the bread. Obviously, it's good.

It's just that I leave so much bread on the table when that happens because I'm not going to eat all that. Of course. It's a loaf. It's a whole loaf of bread, round loaf of bread per person. Two things could happen in that situation. Either I leave a lot and then I feel like a coward or I feel bad for the people that made it or I feel so bad that I do eat it all and then say goodbye to my day. But I would much rather have a bowl of soup and two, actually just one piece of bread cut into a triangle toasted. That's what I would prefer. But again, like, if you fucking make me a goddamn personal pot. Well, yeah, what? You don't cut them in triangles. It's just funny.

That's how specific the preferences are. It hits harder that way. But it is the optimal, like, dipping variety of toast. You know, if you're going to, now, I'm a crackers man when it comes to soup. Well, me too. It's both. But, yes, if you are talking bread, yes, toasted bread. If it's going to be dipped into anything, triangles is what's up.

because even after you dip one of the skinny ends and you bite it, now you've got two other, like, skinny ends that you can dip in succession. And it does make sense. But, Drew, you're pro bread bowl? Well, I was thinking about it. I mean, I get soup with a bread roll instead of bread bowls all the time. So that's absolutely my preference 90% of the time. I've gotten bread bowls when I'm really hungry.

I don't finish them and I don't feel bad about not finishing them because, I mean, like, it's bread. It costs 38 cents to make, you know what I mean? I guess I'm just very pro-wet bread as a phrase. It's so gross. But in reality, gravy biscuits, you know, a real saucy pizza, bread sticks, dipping bread in the soup. So much of my favorite foods are a version of wet bread that I can't just be against bread bowls. But I guess if I'm honest, I prefer to just dip bread into the soup. But I don't find them egregious.

okay really because that's what i was about saying it's like my whole thing with them is like it's so i don't even know it may have been the goddamn french for all i know but it just seems like the ultimate it just seems like the ultimate in like fat american like excess with food like yeah just you know soup is like first of all soup is a lot times basically an appetizer in america you know before the main course. Yeah. And you just like, just get rid of the serving vessel and tire. Make that to where we'd like to eat that too.

Like you know what it would hit is if we could eat all of this and not have to not eat any of it. It's pissing me off that I got to sit here and not eat what this is in. All right. When I could be eating that too, God damn it. This is America. Like that's how it feels to me. And that's why I think it's egregious. I always assumed it was like,

dock workers, you know, like it was quick and they needed more food back when, you know. I don't think it's quick to make a bowl out of bread. Yeah, it was at a time, though, when you was, everybody was eating bread for five meals in a row. That's fair. You know, so anyway, I just looked it up. The first known writing of a bread bowl was referenced in the 1400s. Jesus. 1427 when an Irish noble was attempting to oppress a British Duke,

And the Duke was so impressed with the British. Oh, impressed. You said impressed. Yeah. I thought you said, O press. I'm impressed. I was like, how are they going to pull this shit off? But all right.

He was so impressed he gave the dude money to open a bread bowl shop in what is now known as the city of Dublin. But its history is, but this is saying that its history, though, is just generally tied all the way back to ancient Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, where they invented bread. And then they invented pastries where they would put meat, fruit, nuts, anything into the bread. It came wrapped. So, you know, they didn't have a lot of paper back then. It was just a way to. No, that. Okay, first of all, you know what?

Fuck it. I stand corrected right now. But I, that's not what I was expecting. But the thing about like, yes, meat pies and stuff, sandwiches and stuff like that, I know we're very practical. You put everything inside of there, smush it down, carrot with you, pull it out, eat it all at once. that, you know, when you're on your break from the munt, poop farms or whatever, I mean, that hits. That all hits for me. I just, the bread bowl just struck me incorrectly, obviously.

Like, American excess thing. Yeah, but I wonder what our version is compared to, you know what I mean? Well, there's way more cream. There's way more cream. I bet it's a way bigger bowl, you know, like, and there's a, there's only a slight difference between stew and the filling of some meat pies. So I can't help but feel like you're still sort of right that like, you know, what you're talking about or what you think of when you say bread bowl is probably

the most ridiculous product at, um, what's that, what's that white woman? What's that white woman coffee shop? Panera bread. It's fucking, it's hospital cafeteria food. Yeah. They have bread bowls. They do have bread bowl. And yes, you're right.

That is exactly the type of thing I was thinking about. But also, I got to be honest here. Like, I think we've talked about this before, like off mic. I do good bread, of course, does hit for me. But I've never been one for like a lot of it in any given scenario. What I mean, like the bread is always a, like even on a sandwich, like if I got like a big. It's just there for a mate. It's just, it's a vessel to deliver the meat and cheeses and stuff.

But a bowl is a vessel. But I don't, but you're not hearing me. I'm saying I don't, the bread is, the bread is so ancillary to the other hits in most cases were bread. Like pizza, I like thin crust pizza. Yeah. Like if I, if I had a big sub roll and I was going to make a sub sandwich at home, I would rip out the innards of the roll to where it was basically just a bread shell. Yeah. Fill with meat and mayonnaise and cheese and stuff.

Like, that's kind of how I operate with bread and always have. So an entire goddamn bowl made out of bread is just way too fucking much for me. I'm still going to fat. I'm still going to shame and defile myself. But I want to do it on the stew, the broccoli cheddar, the clam chowder, whatever is in there. Bring me three times as much of that. And keep the goddamn bread. That's all I'm so.

I don't want people to think I think I'm above it. I'm still going to run. You're a trash piece of shit. I'm a trash can. Exactly. I know I'm with you because like the amount of carbs and calories in that bread bowl, I could just have two more servings of broccoli cheese soup. Which would hit harder for me than having the bread.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. I just, I eat bread bowls just like with a, you know, you just get a, when you get to the bottom, you get a little bit of wet bread in there. And then I just don't feel bad about not eating the rest.

But I totally understand what you're saying that you're just eating a shit ton of bread. I was like, $9 for what's free with any other meal. Yeah. If I made a homemade bread bowl situation, it would end up being worse because I definitely would over the course of the night finish it. It's just like I'm never going to get a to go box. Hey, can I take this wet bread home with me?

Like, that just feels weird. Also, hey, I may be about to expose myself and maybe get some heat from some people. But when you do biscuits and gravy, do you just douse it in the gravy and make it all soak or do you dip the biscuit in the gravy? Oh, I doubt it. I like it like more gravy than Andy. I dip. I dip for the most part.

That's just, I feel, do you end up? I end up eating a bowl of gravy with a spoon or something because, okay. Yeah, but I got, here's what happens is I end up eating more biscuits because of it. For sure. Like I'll end up eating instead like two biscuits comes with it or whatever. I'll end up definitely eating at least three. but like I just, I don't know why I just prefer. I like the biscuit to stay crispy and have the crunch with the gravy.

That's really the only reason why. I mean, I hear you on that, but I like the biscuits like ripped up, basically. Yeah. Spread out and then the entire thing just drowned. I like it like meat gravy. It's like meat cookies and milk is what I'm doing. Yeah, yeah, which is for me. Yeah, it does hit for me.

I want some of that right now. Actually, I kind of on God, want a bread bowl. I ain't gonna lie. Like, I hadn't had one in a while. It's like, man, you know, I've come around on a lot of shit in the past couple years. I don't know. Hell. But you boys down 20 pounds.

So I ain't trying to have just motherfucking too much bread. I've been doing all right. Yeah, you do look skinny and good, baby. Thank you, my friend. Yeah, it's going to take 40 pounds for any of it to come out of my face. But that's just how that goes. Yeah, mine's my gut. I've got a, we can have a, it won't be an arm.

argument because I respect both sides of this. But since we fat, we could talk about fat stuff for a minute. I don't, I've been on, Katie bought a Peloton bike whole different conversation. Part of me knew as soon as she got it. We've had it for a while now. And part of me knew as soon as she got it. I was like, I was like, I'm going to fuck around and end up getting in better shape out of spite almost because like, I know.

I know it's for it. Exactly. I was like, I know what's going to happen. She ain't going to be using it enough as far as, as far as she. my standard, right? You know, like, I'm going to be upset. She's not using it more once she's gotten it. And I'm going to be going out there and using it.

Like I said, I'm going to be like, well, somebody's got to use this goddamn thing. Right. Like, I thought that Ford even showed up. And I have been using like a motherfucker,

like a motherfucker. I'm on it. I mean, literally every single day. And I definitely am losing weight, but I have no idea how much and I don't want to know. And here's the subject at hand, Corey. Here's where I know that we differ.

because I've been around you when you're trying to do better and whatnot. You get on the scale like every day, right? Or about it's like very frequently. I did. I did at the beginning and then I, and I was losing like, you know, it would be like I was, you know,

you drop weight real quick at the very beginning. But since then like I pretty, it's like a once a week thing for me because I don't, I want it to like when I step on it, I want there to be like a, you know, like, oh well. That last thing is the main.

That's why. I don't ever hardly get on it. I can tell if I'm, I know I'm like, I know I am losing some weight. I don't want to get on there and think that it's a number that isn't good. I don't want to, all it's going to do is discourage me,

I think. I think there's almost no way I'm going to be encouraged by it. No. So I think it's counterproductive. And also, what's it matter? I'm doing the shit either way. Either way.

I feel no need. So track it meticulously. But I know a lot of people are not, that are first thing every morning. They get on scale. they like, no, I don't,

whatever. Maybe you should, but I'm just not, no, no, no. I used to, and it never ends good. And for two reasons,

if I ever, because it worked, it backfired on me a lot. If I got on there and like, one day, let's say I had like, really done some work and I lost a lot, then I would be like,

well, well, I can, I can get some pizza. Like, I can get a lot of pizza than I. And then I would gain double that shit back because like I'd go on like a food bender.

But for me, I finally just listened to the advice of all the people who have been saying this for fucking years, which is like, if you change your lifestyle and you start feeling better, that's the thing that the weight will come off. But it does the weight, the number shouldn't be the thing that you worry about. It's how you feel and how you look. You know what I'm saying? Because like sometimes it's like one week you're going to lose five pounds and then one week you're not going to lose shit.

But do you feel good? And the answer to that is I feel amazing. So I'm like, I'll look at it. you know, like I did, I did look at it today, but like I hadn't looked at in a while. Like it stays under our bed. Not every day, but yeah. You know, I'm trying to just to feel good. My pants fit. Like, that's how I know.

Every day I'll like, I'll go further back in the drawer and pick a pair. And I'm like, let's see. And I'm like, okay, you know, this time last year, this wasn't happening. I put on jeans for the first time in months. I'm wearing them right now. The other day to go, like, to go somewhere out, you know, in public or whatever. I don't remember, but I just needed jeans on and that morning and forever. And that, yeah, my belt, like, I went beyond the furthest, I went beyond the furthest notch on my belt, which like when I was wearing jeans regularly and four times, I wasn't even in, I wasn't even in the furthest notch.

I was in like the second or third one out of like six. So you lost like three notches. That's good. Or gained? It lost, right? Lost, yeah. Lost, yeah. I like the scales.

My mother-in-law has them, and when we were home for six weeks, what I found to help me with, number one, I need to know it's working or I won't keep going. But that's kind of my point, though, is like you can get, you can get discouraged, like it isn't working. It just because if what you see isn't like what you think it should be, it'll make you feel like it's not working, which will make you not want to do it, even though it probably is working. It would make me work harder, I think. Okay.

And then number two, I guess related to that, I was stunned to see the day to day of what two nights of beer drinking will do to a person. Like, I was like, oh, wow. Like, that's, I don't, I don't even feel like the beer itself weighed that much. It's all still in me. Sometimes it can go the opposite, though, too, because the beer, like, once you shit and piss all that out, the beer will dehydrate you so much. Like, I've gone, I've gone, I've gone.

I've gone on a bender and like lost four pounds because like I didn't eat nothing. I just drank. I always eat when I drink it. Don't matter how much. It don't matter if it's beer. It's a weird thing. It don't fill me up. Once I'm done like about to go to bed if I don't pass smooth out, then I'll eat.

But like when I'm drinking, I'm motherfucking drinking. That's just all it is. You know, we've talked before about leaving like notes to yourself. You know, I keep this list of things we can talk about on the podcast. And normally we would talk before about like having ideas in the middle of the night and writing them down. They never make sense. Yeah, that faxed me a hell of the moments. Yeah, there you go. Fax me a hell of the moments. Well, normally I don't ever do that if I'm conscious. Like, this was not a, this was not a sleep thought. This was, we were watching the

crown and I made a note for something to talk about on the podcast, but I don't remember at all. And I wasn't drunk or anything. I mean, I was probably a little bit high. Maybe I was higher and I thought I was. But I can't make heads or tails of this, but I'll just read it anyway. Maybe. We all can help me figure it out because of it. Part of it is because of the very raven and pretentious fashion in which I wrote this note. So we're watching the crown. Starts with a quote. I know this is from a scene in the crown with a newsy end or something.

But here's what it says. So quotation marks, all caps. Extra, extra read all about it. Okay. Close quote. Yeah. And then it says now in lowercase. So it's that extra extra read all about it.

And the death of pop. Culture intricacies. Okay. I am wholly insufferable. That's like me jotting that down. Yeah. Like just jot that down. We'll talk about that later.

I'll remember. Why would I write that that way? It's just a note for myself and now I can't make hands or tails of it. I bet I can at least figure out why you wrote it the way you did. That was you, you thought of a bit. And on stage you were going to play the newspaper boy. and so you put it like that. So like, and knowing you,

you were probably going to try to the death of what pop culture intricacies. You were such a motherfucker. I know. It's unreal. You were probably going to do a bit, a period piece joke, which is so you. I mean, not that I've done that too, but like, and you were going to play the newspaper boy, but I can't figure out like, why.

the fuck. Yeah, I don't know, son. Well, it was on the... You're too smart for your own good. I think this is probably way off. I'm literally just trying to figure it out now. I think maybe it had something to do with like, when we were younger, I think what I meant was like maybe pop culture artifacts or something.

You're in the Diana years too. Like you know how the save, like the save button is a floppy disk, right? Yeah. Which it always has been. So we think nothing of it. But really, that doesn't make any sense anymore. It hasn't for a long time.

Right. I think maybe it was along that the lines of that, meaning like, and I, but I don't know. I'm speculating about my own thought process now, but it's like, you remember like extra, extra read all about it. That used to be kind of like, that was like a thing. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like people could say that. You could say that in daily, daily conversation. Why would kids know that now? But it's, it can't be anymore. It only exists in like period pieces. Like nobody in middle school. nobody like nobody's showing up in junior high finding out their buddy got a hand job and then saying extra extra read all about it unless they judge Tommy off you know or whatever like but I don't know they might because we did and it's not like that was in our lives because like decades before we yeah it's like that it's like that the monkeys getting sprayed with the hose that's it that's it you've helped me

boom that's what it means that's what it means by and the death of pop culture there you go there's at what point do they die? Because that's what I was thinking of what you just said. I was thinking like, we used to use that as kind of a reference point. Not all the time. Mirror the queer too. But it was a reference point,

but we were already 50 years removed from fucking actual newsies who said that shit. Yeah. So at what point does something die off? You know what I mean? Like how long does something stretch out when it's pop culture reference points and things like that.

that that's what it was here's the thing we found it that's what we want to talk about well here's the thing here's the thing though that does hit i'm glad that i help you with that but like here's the thing extra extra read all about it like when i hear that i think a Cinderella man you know and i think they're never going to stop making movies about that time because the depression and because the industrial revolution and because all that sorts of shit so like and that's always such a signaling phrase of the times like you're always going to have that in those movies so like honestly that's why it sticks around and it probably won't go anywhere until I don't know how long in the future we go before people aren't writing movies about the 20s, like our 20s anymore, but like it'll probably stick around for a little bit longer. That just has become a cliche.

Not all cliches are pop culture references, but I would say that most pop culture references that last, I mean at this point isn't Karen a cliche? Yeah, but it's neat. I don't think that'll stand the test of time. I'm not, well, whether it will or not, my point is, a pop culture, I think all pop culture references are cliche. And if not, if they last, they become cliche. Yeah, they have to be.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I understand what you mean. Like, you know, when, you know, when people talk about something being hack or like, oh, that's so blah, blah, blah. It's like, yeah, well, that's, it, that means it really hit at the time,

which is why it was copied so many times or why it said. And I don't think those will die, Trey, but I do think, I think in some ways, that's kind of what memes are, some memes. Like, I think it's going to, I think it's changing, but I don't think that. I agree with what Corey's, I mean, I saw this in the crown, which is brand new. It just came out. That's what I'm saying to help my point. So I get what Corey's saying, the way I was thinking about it, and maybe there are other

better examples, is it's like, at what point does it become, like, like, like I don't ever remember not understanding that reference point. I'm sure I didn't when I was six or seven, but I can remember like as a kid, extra extra read all about it. You know, like I knew what that meant kind of always. Like when I think about it,

I always knew what that meant and what that was and whatever else. And it's like at what point is that no longer true? People are confused by things because this isn't the exact same thing. But like I was with, last time we went to wainsborough which you know fucking a year and a half two years ago now or whatever we were uh yeah what yeah thanks covid but we um we went to the nursing home to visit uh k's great grandpa or whatever and when we were in there uh there was a pay phone on the what just a regular phone on the wall and you know i was like hey boys check that out you know what that is you know what

that is and they were they had literally no idea what it was at all and that They didn't even have a guess. No one even thought, is that some kind of phone? Like, it wasn't like that. They literally had no idea what this convoluted machine was. You know what I mean? But now they know. Now they know, because I saw one and I told them they're not that old.

If they see another one now, they're going to know. That's an old-timey phone. You know what I mean? Yeah, like to them, that was us looking at a cracker barrel, like the walls of a cracker barrel. Right. When I was way younger, like, when I was like young, young, young, young, young, like, oh, I say young, young, young, probably like eighth grade or ninth grade when I first started like, I'm going to like actually put my funny ideas onto work pages and start writing

things like you're supposed to do when you're a comedian. The first sketch concept I ever wrote was Superman. It was present day Superman and something happens and he can't change out of his clothes because they've taken all the phone booths away because we didn't need them anymore because of cell phones. Yeah. And that just reminded me of that. I'm like, that's pretty clever.

How old were you? Like eighth or ninth grade. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah, because like cell phones had just become a thing. Like, well,

I mean, that's not true. So people my age was starting to get cell phones is why like, okay. That's a right. There you go. That's another, like the Doctor Who thing,

the TARDIS or whatever. Yeah. It's like a British phone box. Isn't that what it's supposed to be? But like, but like, new or young, like kids who see Dr.

Who for the first time now and see the TARDIS, they're not going to have any, fucking clue. They're just going to think that's a time machine thing. There's an explainer. They're not going to know what it's based on. There's an explainer. On every episode? No, no, no, not on every episode, but like it's come up more than once, you know? Yeah. Whenever he gets a new companion or meets somebody new, oftentimes it'll come up, which is

the TARDIS originally where, what, at whatever point in time he traveled to, it would try to disguise itself of the era to blend in. and he traveled to whatever era that was and the fuse broke and he never fixed it because it hit for him. The call box hit for him. Oh, yeah, it's funny. I wasn't even thinking about an in-universe explanation for it,

although now that you mention it, yeah, they would need one. I don't really watch that show, but that's that cool that they had that. But yeah, yeah, it just like, he's like, oh, this hits for me. I like the police call box. So, yeah, it just stayed. That show does hit.

It's fucking, it is wild as fuck. I've watched like maybe five episodes of that first revival season from 2005 or whenever that was just to check it out. And it didn't, not. It for me. It is wild. It was like wild and campier and goofier than I thought would be. But yeah, I was just overwhelmed by the sheer number of them, I think, and I just didn't. Yeah.

For the record, like, I love that first guy. Chris, shit. I can't remember this last time. Eccleston, Eccleston. Eccleston. I did like him. but like if you were just kind of, you know, whatever on it, if you can make it to the next season when David Tennant steps in,

as much as I like Chris Eccleson, like, David Tenet is so goddamn good. Like it just fucking, he's so good that I literally don't even see him as Killgrave as Doctor Who, even though I saw him as Killgrave first, which is a tremendous fucking performance. Like, he's just amazing. So, like, I would suggest it. And also the good thing about that show is entirely episodic. So if you're 20 minutes into one and it don't hit,

fuck it. Just, you know, watch the next. Because, like, they have, there has been a couple where I was like, all right, I can suspend my disbelief with the fucking best of. I'm a wrestling fan, but fuck this. And this, you know, go the next one. Who cares? It's self-contained.

But, yeah, that's why the TARDIS is a police callbox. There you go. All right. Well, I mean, you know, I was going to say, fuck it. Yeah. Yeah. I'll go eat a goddamn steak. Yeah.

I'm making them ribs. Y'all ever made ribs in the oven? No. I like got a smoker. I have it. No, no. No, ribs and oven are easy. I'm sure they're good.

Well, I said they're not easy because they take a long time. But, I mean, it works really well, relatively foolproof. Yes, put the rub on them. Take the membrane off. Put the rub on them, wrap them in foil tightly. Put them in the oven on low heat. I don't remember exactly like 250 or something low like that. And for like three hours, though, low and slow if you wanted to fall off.

If you want to fall off alone. And no, and then. And then what you or do, you don't, if you don't have, when they're done, you should take them out, put sauce on them and put them on a grill. If you don't have a grill, put sauce on them and put them under a broiler on. That's what I was going to do. A couple of minutes and then they're ready. But no, that works like a charm. They don't, they don't have, ribs are good that way.

That's like how if you go to like a restaurant, like a train restaurant or something, that's probably how they're doing it. You don't have to have a smoker necessarily or anything. They hit like that. All right. I'm in. I'm going to make them. ready to continue on with this podcast, so I'm going to go make steak.

Love y'all. See you by. Skee. Let me see you by. They're the liberal rednecks. They like cornbread, but sex, they care way too much, but don't give a fun.

They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people upset, but they got three big old dicks that you can suck.
