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 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.

Pretty good. We're doing pretty good. We're up here in the Great White North. Going for a rip. Yeah. Been out for a rip in our charger. A charger, went for a rip, had a donut,

had some putteen. Yeah. Very good. You've seen a few butts. Sheen quite a few butts. Yeah. Several butts. A lot of polite people.

Wait a minute. Is butts a Canadian thing that I don't know about or did you all really see? No butts are universal, man. I didn't see no butts. I saw plenty of butts. What? You ain't seen no butts. I saw some, but not today.

Not today. Not today. We stayed playing buds. These butts all over, Canada. I saw Corey's butt. Remember when he had that Mickey Mouse shirt on and his backpack? Yeah. Corey has a Mickey Mouse shirt.

He has a little shorty shorts. And he has shorty, these bird dogs, these shorty shorts, these, they're in style now. That's what the kids are wearing. They're comfortable with shit. And he had his backpack on, and he had his flip-flops on, and he had his big hat on. And he looked. Two-strapping. Like a drunk eight-year-old.

Yeah. I act like a drunk eight-year-old. Which honestly, that's going to be the name of his like seven special. Dronka-year-olds because that pretty well sums him up. Well, yeah, anyway, if y'all ain't surprised, we're in Canada. We're currently in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We've been in Calgary and Vancouver, and I think that's like all they got on the West part of Canada, ain't it? That's pretty much in the Rockies.

That's it. Well, so we've been everywhere there is to be on the western half of this country. That's how I'm perceiving it. I'm certain we have offended three people in some town, but that's fine. No, no, I mean, I'm not a lot of. offended. It's just, you know, there is other places, so you guys could read up on that. That'd be great. But otherwise, have a great day. That's how that would go. What do you, uh, what, what do y'all think? We and Corey talked a lot when we were in L.A.

Before we left to come to Canada by how we just didn't know what to expect at all, because we ain't been outside the country, period, with this tour. And we're like, our stuff seems so like culturally specific. It works all over the U.S. because people and the rest of the U.S. U.S. be knowing about the South because, you know, they'd be making fun of it or whatever, or they're intrigued by it or whatever. But, like, it still works there because, you know, the South's reputation or whatever, I guess. But we didn't know what to expect in Canada. So having said that, what do y'all, what do y'all think so far?

I mean, I enjoyed it. I think all my sets went well. I mean, I leaned, especially last night, I remember leaning on, like, you know, material about being married and stuff like that. And then my politics stuff, most of it's like big issues. So what I do, I did Jesus. They know about Jesus up here. It's really y'all, now that I think about it. Yeah.

All I really took out is I haven't done any of the stuff about like the Confederate flag and whatever else. And having said that, which that's a pretty long bit of mine, I just haven't done any of that. Because I don't even know if they are even aware of it or whatever. Or why would they give a shit? but also do material about like black, black people and white people in the south and their similarities, uh,

or just poor white people and poor black people. And I've still been doing it, but it ain't been really getting much of response. And I think that maybe because, uh, there ain't no black people up here. No, what the fuck?

What the fuck? They ain't got none. None. Seen two of the whole trip. What's to do with that, Canada? You have no idea. Uh, black people's like,

uh, Southerners, I think, they don't fuck with the cold much. You know what I mean? You might be it. Maybe. And I hear,

I hear, that but either way i think that's maybe what that's about uh or something but the rest of it though you know yeah it's been fine it's been good yeah i thought it's been good i you know i have a what what you were saying on monday before like right before the show started or not monday whatever the hell that day that was the first the first day of this canadian run we're in vancouver it's like 30 minutes of showtime or less and courters to make her backstage and he was like man i never really thought about just how much in my material is about U.S. history.

Yeah. It's like it's U.S. history based. It really does have a lot of it. Yeah, I really do, man. And so you grew up in a Civil War town. For sure. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

It all makes sense. But I started, uh, so last night was, I started talking about Andrew Jackson and how shitty he was. And I mean, you know, it got a laugh or whatever, but it wasn't the pop that it gets literally everywhere. And I realized, like, they know what, you fart? No. maybe you should finish.

I just thought of something I've never told y'all. Okay. Well, I'm excited. Yeah, so anyways, it didn't get to pop it needed. Then I looked out and I was like, y'all don't really fucking know who Andrew Jackson is. And they gave me the look that pretty much said, we know who he is. He's just not, I mean, whatever. I'm like, yeah.

We don't care. We don't care. And then I just said, man, God damn it, I wish I didn't give a fuck about Andrew Jackson, too. And then I just did 10 minutes on how much I wanted to lick Justin Trudeau's butthole. And that seemed to work out pretty fine. Right. And I don't want to give away, you know, one of your punchlines, but one of the punchlines is about LeBron James and Andrew Jackson. Mm-hmm. And that's like, you know, basketball and old American politics.

Yeah. Not very Canadian either, one of those. True. You could have said Wayne. The Wayne Graskey. Yeah. I'll do that tonight. I just feel like, you know, they still know who LeBron James is.

Yeah, no, no, no, they got the joke. But, yeah, Wayne would have been better. I, uh, I had a heckler. which surprised me. You had a heckler too, right? I did. I did. I can't remember during what.

It was weird because we don't get them ever. I don't know because Tray and I were talking and then I heard you responding. I don't know what joke for him. Somebody. What was that response to? I don't know what it was. Somebody just yelled out, grab her by the pussy. Right.

Yeah. Which is fine. I mean, it's not. Don't do it. But I didn't know. It wasn't in response to anything that I'd said. I think it was just one of those. Me and Drew heard the crowd like sort of booing.

grown and we thought they were doing that to something you had said and we were like oh Lord, none of the what did he just say? Well, apparently it was that guy saying that. Which I'm pairing dating now to dating back in the day. Yeah. And I was like, oh God, he went too far.

Right. Describing how dating back in the day was kind of rapy. Right. Because sometimes the crowd's misunderstanding that you're like commenting on that. Yeah. But no, no, no. It was just a, I was doing that. I hadn't even got halfway through it. And somebody just goes, grab her by the pussy.

Lord. Yeah. You know, so I was doing, I was talking about playing football in college, and, and someone said, someone said something disparaging, and I ignored it. And then someone else goes, what school did you go to? And I said, it doesn't matter. And they go, see, it wasn't a good school. It must suck. He won't tell us or whatever.

And I was like, I mean, it was pretty good academically, you know, but it was shitty in football. And then I said something else. And then I started making fun of their money. It's like, I'm not taking shit off nobody who has. in the dark money with holes in it. Once your money stops looking like it's going to an EDM concert, come talk to me. And everyone laughed, and I thought, oh, it's like over.

I was like, man, that was weird, you know, that I got a heckler. So I said to the audience, I was like, I didn't expect to get a heckler here. Y'all are supposed to be polite. And as soon as I said that, like, it got quiet for half a second. And the guy who heckled me went, sorry. And I fell into the wall laughing, and everybody erupted.

And I was like, thank you. for gracing me bless you core so sorry said thank you for gracing me with your national motto while I'm on stage and it was great except then I couldn't I didn't get a better laugh the rest of the night no you know that's hard the top so

we were in Calgary last night this was funny to me how this played out there's a sports bar attached to the comedy club me and Drew are sitting in the sports bar watching the Preds play the penguin. Side note,

the prez got absolutely fucking robbed. I don't know shit about hockey, but I still know that that's the truth. They scored a goal that should have counted and didn't like on a fuck it. The Penguins got off on a technicality last night. That's what happened. Kept it from going to a game seven. Like he is the widest sport.

Yeah. Anyway, me and Drew were sitting there watching the game in that sports bar and talking about how ticket sales have been good to this show in Calgary, but the room, the actual show, room was like basically empty and it was show time like the show was supposed to have started and the room was like a 10th full and we're like this sucks what we're going to do and i was like you think it's because they're all watching this hockey game and drew was like no that ain't it and i was like well i mean he's like i mean it's pittsburg and nashville we're in calgary and i was like well yeah but you

give a fuck about the patriots or the falcons you know but we still watch the super bowl and he was like yeah but they ain't seven super bowls i just don't think it's that big a deal so we're arguing about whether it mattered or not. And then we decided that we thought that that's probably what it was, or that that had an impact, was the hockey game. And people just said, fuck it,

we weren't going to see that redneck side show or whatever. And then we said, then Corey, we knew Corey had gone on. And Drew was like, how much you won't bet he's going to take this out on the crowd. He's going to take this out on the people that did show up because he's going to be mad and he's going to go in on them.

And I was like, Yeah, you're probably right. So we had said all that. And what we did not know was that when Corey first walked on stage, the microphone was not turned on. So he starts talking and nothing's happening. And then he finally gets it turned on. And then he comments on the microphone not working and he's bitching at it. We didn't hear none of that.

All I heard was I walked in the room right after Corey had walked up, right after you had said, how much you were going to take it off out on the crowd. I walked in into the middle of this sentence by Corey, which is like, I'm going, everybody's home fucking jacking off to a goddamn hockey game. Now I'm going to come up here and talk to 20 fucking people. Can you get the goddamn show started? How are you doing, Calgary?

And I was like, God. I love being right. But then, you know, with the added context of that was him being mad at the moment. taken out on a mic not them right and ended up being fine and also that was a phenomenal show that's all the best set up yeah yeah the show ended up or the room ended up filling up I mean it was good by the way but at first left out that while we were having that debate or whether or not that's why it was empty they did a thing on the game where they interviewed like the 19 predator players who were from one town in Canada or some shit they're all toothless like and it was Alberta it was

one private they were all it was in Alberta it was like the one we were in They were all from Alberta, which is where we were. And Drew was like, yeah, no, you're right. Everybody's watching this show right now. Yeah, because everybody who came to our show is cousins with half the preteries. For sure. But, no, I mean, I, yeah, I ended up, it was one of the better sets I've done. It was so much fun.

I had a great time, but a great set. I think I'm dying. Bless you, Corey. Oh, my God, are you allergic to gravy taters? I don't know. I hope not. God damn. How many times have y'all eating putteen or, as y'all call it, gravy tators?

Only twice. surprised i don't do what's or all but i definitely'm fucked up right now you're just that right i every time i've ever sneezed in my life i've it's been what you're going through right now okay so that ain't just me because that does happen to me most of the time we got a dodge charger to drive between uh edmonton and calgary or calgary and edmonton and i think the reason why is our accent because you mean you tweeted or whatever that we upgraded to the charger that's not really what happened i got a bigger car because you know y'all fat and uh so i had like full-sized car ordered and when I got up there

the dude just gave me the charger and I kind of think he was like oh shit it's the dukes of hazard for sure well y'all tell me about because you know I don't be driving um was it fun to drive it yeah girl was really pouring it on there a couple while yeah I also don't know how fast that was going because it's in kilometers and I'm like at one point it was like it was like 185 or something like that and I was like god damn

and I know it's a very specific song on and this dude was riding my and all that had like you can say what song baby came together money for nothing by the dire straits that is the best uh drive fast song well when that kicked in i gunned it and we were we were going pretty fast and when i hit the gas i definitely got like oh fuck dropped into 185 kilometers per hour is 114 miles of that oh yeah well i definitely got up to 195 so how fast is that hold on i mean i definitely felt like we was moving i wouldn't i would not have guessed that high though and then as soon as i did that and a song really sped up we hit traffic and there was like a

yeah we were going one we were going on 121 that song oh yeah fuck yeah and by the way uh we're here to well-red podcast do not advocate that type of behavior it's just that we unless you want to real bad sure but we're numbered and are listening to dire straits yeah we're numbered and we didn't know that that was you know going faster and we're on our lives i mean i can tell that we was going fast because everybody else wasn't going that fast. Like, I was passing people who were in the fast lane, you know. Yeah. That hits for me.

What the fuck else? Oh, that story I just remembered. Did I ever tell y'all, I practiced when I was a lawyer in front of a judge whose name was Andrew Jackson the sixth. No. Was that legit? Yeah, completely legit, direct descendant, Tennessee judge, Tennessee family, like all that. You know, his family, I think one of his brothers, like, control. the rights to the name or the estate or whatever that is that they got going on.

I swear to God, this woman was in front of him. She was fixing to be violated on her probation. She was crying because she was like going to get fired or whatever it was. And he was sending her back to jail because she had messed up again. It wasn't my client. I don't know anything about it. I was just at the courthouse that day and everyone was talking about it. That happened and he goes, you can save your trail of tears.

Pause. I guess I shouldn't say that if my name's Andrew Jackson looks to the left at the prosecutor. The prosecutor apparently literally turned around and pretended to read something so he wouldn't look at her anymore. And then he just goes, anyway, take her away. He sent a black woman to jail after making a Trail of Tears joke and then commenting on how he probably shouldn't do that

because his name's Andrew Jackson, but he did it anyway. He didn't comment on it and then be like, my bad. He laughed. Did anything? Well, of course. Why, dude, branding's important. I mean, he's not sure. He's keeping it real.

Yeah. Did anything what? I was going to say, I cannot believe you've never told us that story. He had no trouble came of him for that. Well, no. Of course not. He's the judge.

This was in Knoxville, Tennessee. He is kind of an asshole. You know, shit. Surely not. Young Hickory. He's kind of old. He actually presided over when I sued my landlord, because he wouldn't give him my deposit back for no reason.

And I didn't like him, but he thought this was funny. The dude was like, and look, here's the picture of the microwave, because he said we didn't clean up or whatever, and it had like spaghetti stains all over it. I didn't know. I mean, I wasn't going to clean the inside of the microwave. And the judge looked at it. He's like, oh, this is disgusting.

He looked at me. He goes, Mr. Morgan, what about this? And I go, yeah, I don't know, Judge. The way I see it, I donated him a microwave because it wasn't his microwave. And as a matter of fact, I'd like to amend my complaint. I'd also like to sue him for the price of the microwave, and he cracked up. He did not, you know, give me that, but I still warned the case. You have had two different experiences with Andrew Jackson the 6th, and that just never came up.

I was in front of him all the time. Has, he was just a judge in my courtroom. I mean, no other stories. The rest of the stories were just regular, asshole, conservative judges in the South. You could just say, hey, guess who I know, Andrew Jackson the 6th. That'd be fine by me. That'd been cool. I mean, why?

Young Hickory. Yeah. I don't know. It's neat. I guess. I feel like, I feel like if Andrew Jackson is six lived in Chickamauga, and I just now brought it up, this would be one of them times. You're like, of course, of course, another goddamn.

Sure. And I was about to say, Andrew Jackson probably has 1,400 male descendants from that generation at this point. But only one of them named Andrew Jackson. Yeah, they wouldn't. I mean, that in the case. Would it be funny if they were? He's the oldest son of the oldest sons. What are he fun is?

There's like nine Andrew Jackson the 6th. I mean, all George Foreman's kids named George Foreman. That's a wild, by the way. That's not the funniest shit in the world. And the girls are Georgina. Yeah. Or are they just George? No, they just George.

There's just George. There's all, there's nine of them. It's nine George Foreman's. It's amazing. I saw a good tweet today that we'll hit for our fans about naming. It was, uh, all you guys out there is talking about how narcissistic women are. with all our selfies, come back and talk to us

when we start naming kids our own fucking name. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that don't really go the other way. I have met a few.

I've heard of it before. I mean, my girl's named after grandmas. Well, okay, my sister's kid is named after my mom, but that wasn't my mom to do that shit. Exactly. Your mom didn't do it.

That's what I'm saying. My sister wanted to do it as a, you know, a nice thing. But, I mean, I'm definitely going to make my kid after my son.

I don't have no I don't like that I'm not I'm actually not why I mean I'm fine with it but I didn't I wouldn't want to be a junior I didn't do it but like I don't have any kind of problem with it I don't know if I have a problem I could come up with a problem with it because I mean but you come up with a problem for about anything yeah that's right but I do think like for the kid you know what I mean I don't want to be a junior also you got to just you're just you have to live up to your daughter whatever your dad did or whatever yeah right yeah my neither one of my boys is named troy crowder junior and they still gonna have to fight that struggle their whole lives you know so shit what's it matter that boy i'm gonna give a fuck

that's true now they're gonna be a little skater boy i hope that they're like a comedy troop together but it's like all the kinds of comedy that you hate they're like super alti and weird no that'll be bodyboarders or some shit it'd be fire. It won't whip. So nothing like their dad. No. They're Californians.

Yeah, right. That's true. That's my whole thing. I don't think moving removes like the genetic nerdiness that you and your unathletic ability is. Yeah, but they can get that from like, you know. Katie's way more athletic than you are. Is she coordinated athletic or just like strong?

I don't know, honestly. Yeah. I've never seen her like play sports or nothing. I just know that her natural state. for years was just ripped ripped yeah she was a ripped person for

most of until I put babies on her basically but uh so I feel like she's got pretty good genetics in that way so I don't know we'll see what happens I hope they serve surf yeah yeah I mean that's fine I don't have like a problem with it

it she's going to be weird having uh you know like beach bum children my you know they're the first and uh basically ever since we left the old country. They'll be the first ones to have not.

My family on my dad's side has been in the, not just America, but in the south for 400 years until now. My dad's, dad, dash, dash, dad, or whatever, like the line of boys until these two. And now they're in California. It's just, it's kind of weird to me. That is kind of weird.

I'm about to sneeze again. I'm trying to hold it in. I'm sorry. I'm staring at y'all wear it. something's wrong with me. I thought you were about to say something dushy. I know. I thought he was going to make fun of you for being a liberal redneck and moving or something.

No, I ain't you. I absolutely thought. Well, I thought the same thing that I guess. Shit. You just couldn't think of something funny. You're holding in a sneeze face is apparently a holding in a joke face.

I was like to say something douchey face because I thought the exact same thing. I was like, what? No, I keep breathing and I get that tickle and it's like, I don't know. You do keep breathing. Something. some in here I'm allergic to I don't know what the fuck's happening but you I mean I sound worse

somebody probably had your pet beaver in here so being Corey when we first got to Vancouver we were at a bar and we were there for like less than an hour and we had five different servers come over to us during that time and uh well I think it's like three or four

but either way multiple ones and then finally Corey asked them what that was about and they said it was because our original server kept sending other servers over there just so they could hear the way that we talked. Because that is how noteworthy it was there, I guess. Like it was literally like, hey, you got to go check out Table 25. You ain't going to believe this shit. And there's been plenty of people comment on how we taught,

but that was definitely the most fun for me because they definitely didn't do it in a, y'all are stupid kind of way. They were just, I'm out. Drew's getting naked. Drew's getting naked. I can't believe it took him this on. But I definitely, it definitely, I feel like if we were, you know, single man on the prow, being in Canada, it could work out. Yeah, no doubt.

There was some middle-aged women at the airport in Vancouver who were just straight up talking about how sexy my accent was. Uh-huh. So, I mean, yeah, it's been, you know, it would play. It would play. But, yeah, we're all kept men. On that note, I referred to my wife of six years as my girlfriend on stage last night. But the way I said it was like, I was talking about Katie, but to the crowd, it sounded like I was talking, you know, like my girlfriend was, you know, I got my wife and I got my girlfriend. And I'm talking about my girlfriend right now, which is not at all what I meant.

I just called Katie my girlfriend and she ain't met my girlfriend in years. I don't know what the hell that was about. Have you talked to me? Did you mention to her that you did that? No, but I mean, I will. No. Because, I mean, that's genuinely. That's what happened.

But, but again, the crowd did not know that. And it was, I mean, it hit for them. Yeah, I don't know why the hell I did that. Didn't you say you did the same thing recently? Yeah, I remember when it was, too. I was in New York. And this old lady in the front row, well, her friend came in late and was being disruptive. And then told me she was hammered.

And she told me I was cute. And I was like, well, I got, all right, I got to wait on you to calm down. and the other one said he's hilarious, listen to him or something like that. And she turned to me and she pointed out her friend. And I swear to God, she said she's new Asian. I think she meant to say, I think she meant to say new agey,

but she said she's new Asian. And I said, well, she looks like old white. And everyone laughed. And then they started hitting on me. And I said, well, you know, I'm flattered, but I have a girlfriend. And I go, Lord, I have a wife. Y'all got me fucked up.

that is what happened well i'm glad they liked your accent that sort of is a nice segue in what i wanted to talk about today yeah okay let's do it which is code switching and the reason i want to talk about it is because i've sort of known about this for a while and i feel like you and cori you might be like this too but you trade do it less than about anybody i know code switching is defined as a speaker alternating between two or more languages or language varieties in the context of a single conversation. But if I'm not mistaken, they've expanded that to talk about how you code switch in terms of who you talk to.

The perfect example of that is how you might speak differently at a job interview. But more relevant to us is how people change their accents subconsciously and the words that they use subconsciously depending on who they're talking to. Well, I've been, it's weird, because you did bring this, like, you brought this up recently said you want to talk about it, but I had also, I've been working on a new bit lately about the context being people on the internet saying that my accent is clearly fake. And then I'm like, and then I go into, you know, no, it's not at all fake. I mean, yeah, it comes and goes.

What I said one night was much like these internet trolls. my accent exists on a spectrum. But, you know, I don't know how that will continue to play. But anyway, I know for a fact I do it. Like it, but that don't make it fake. And then I go this whole thing about, like, you know, I could be in a meeting with some studio executives in Hollywood or whatever. And yeah, it's going to be less pronounced.

But I'm not even thinking about that. That's just what happens. But if you let, if I answer the phone knowing that it, it's, you know, one of my buddies from back home. Like, you know, if I look at the phone and it says, you know, Kobe on it, and I pick up the phone, I will go straight from, yeah, it's really, thanks for having me. I'm glad to be here, whatever. I tell you what you say, son, without even thinking about it.

I mean, I absolutely do it. It's not just the accent. That's a real thing. Like, it doesn't make it. I'm not faking any of that. I'm not putting on any of that. That's just how people work. Right.

But you just... It's unconscious. You just gave an example of this. It's not just the accent. You said, I could go from, fine. How are you to... What do you say, boy? Those aren't just different accents.

Those are different vernaculars. And that's something that I noticed with us in level of comfort. When we're in meetings, they speak Hollywood meetings that you guys that we're not allowed to tell you about fans. But when we're in them seriously, the level of comfort that we have with whoever we're talking to, the more we say things like, Gensorg, give us a show versus like, I mean, you know, I think we'd be good at it. Yeah, you know what I mean? That's true. That's how I can tell we're in a good meeting.

Right. If we actually start being us. Well, so then you go on stage and with our shows, it's fine. It's like whatever, because we're doing our shows and we're doing us and we hang out together back there. And then I just go on there and I go on stage and I talk just like I was talking y'all in the green room. But like when I'm in New York, and this happened to me recently, Mike Cannon, who's like a comic, he's like one of those like MTV comics. Like he's on Guy Code, I think. He was hosting that night and he didn't know me.

So he brought me up. I went up, smooched, as you do. I got off stage and he was like, he, you know, had to go back up and bring the next Comic on. He came to talk to me. He's like, hey, man, I don't know you. That was really great. You know, blah, blah, blah.

And then he goes, so you're putting it on a little bit up there. And I don't know what he was talking about at first. And I was like, what do you mean? He goes, well, I mean, your accent. Like, I can tell you're Southern, but you're putting it on. And I go, what do? Oh. And I said, no, actually, the way I'm talking to you right now is fake.

But it's not really because this is what I do when I'm speaking to something. and I've done this for years. And I think for me, it probably started in college, but I didn't notice it as much because people at Maribel had accents. It started in law school, though. And I've told the story of, like, the professor making fun of my accent and stuff. But even before that, you just pick up on stuff. And I honestly think it comes from knowing that you're being shamed.

Yeah, maybe. But that won't work out. But one thing, and you can't go into a fucking interview for a law firm and be like, well, I mean, you might be able to. They might think it's cool. But they also, you know somewhere in the back of your mind that you might not get. it and so you unconsciously do that and I've read a lot about black people doing that with abonics um yeah well it's weird because what you just said when you're talking to that guy and you're

like actually i'm putting on right now like i do agree with that but also because i've gotten that a lot too over the years as far as like so obviously you're laying it on pretty thick when you're on stage right and it's what i've always said was basically we were just already talking about like is it thicker when i'm on stage yeah but what that what I chalked that up to first that's not any conscientious decision that I'm making at all well it's just a matter of when I'm on stage I'm you know I've got adrenaline flow and I'm fired up I'm like I'm excited and when anytime I'm in that state of mind whether I'm on stage or not it ratchets my accent right like that's just how it works so like yeah it is thicker when I'm

on stage but I'm not I'm not doing that on purpose like it that's just you just it just works that way well my argument because people say they're like oh you're on stage you're excited and that's why it comes out and people my like my wife will say and he'll say uh yeah it comes out thicker when i'm drunk yeah that well that too right and it is true and for years i agree with that but i don't think it's that when you're drunk you're more comfortable we're very comfortable on stage absolutely just talking about how in these meetings the more comfortable i think it's a comfort level i think it's like a subconscious comfort thing when you feel not on edge or just secure about being yourself,

then you allow your accent and your vernacular to be the natural one. And when you feel like you need to put on and speak like this so that you can get this job or that this person will be impressed with you, and you don't consciously think it, you just start doing that. It's one of these things. It's one of the many things that I think that our people and also, so poor white people and poor black people have in common or that they understand,

but that, you know, but that both groups don't really realize they have in common. But I'm saying black people absolutely have that too,

like even more so than us, like the very first, so when Key and Peele came out, we're talking about this the other day, when Keen Peele came out, their very first trailer for that show, first thing they ever put out as an advertisement for the sketch show

was a mini sketch. That was also a commercial. It was Peel walking down the street, no, Key walking down the street talking on the phone to presumably his girlfriend. He's like, yes, I'm going to pick up a bottle of wine. I'll be over there a little bit later, sure. And then, and then Peel

comes up to him, and immediately he puts the phone down and, you know, they like dab it up and he's like, what's up? Yeah, okay, good to see you, all right, cause you, whatever later. It's like, okay, okay. And then the dude walks off, and then he keeps walking, he puts the phone back up to his hair. He's like,

I seriously almost got murdered just now. It was insane. but it was a mini sketch about code switching or whatever but I'm saying black people I know feel like they have to do the same thing in job interviews you know what I mean like not talk the way they really talk because they're going to get like judged for it and it's like with it's a little different because with us we're getting judged for well this guy's a fucking idiot and but with like black people and ebonics or whatever I think it's probably they think that they'll be judged as you know a thud or a thug or

or a hood rat or whatever which I did it or when it's well there I mean they're you know they probably go hand in hand well the first suppositions but still my introduction to this topic was a like an article about it and it was all about you know the black experience in terms of job interviews and all that and stuff but you said you know you you assume black people feel that way and people where we're from feel that way but I'm saying even if people aren't conscious of it I think subconsciously almost everyone does it No, yeah, I totally agree with that, too, for sure. But I'm saying even, like, subconsciously, I still think that is the reason.

Absolutely, I agree. It's just that's how deep-rooted it is, is that it becomes subconscious. Well, to me, it's the most, or not the most, Lord. It's a very clear example of how institutional prejudice has an effect on people, whether they're conscious of the effect it has on them or not. Right. I even go the other way. Like, yeah, when I'm on stage, I'm the most common.

comfortable I'll ever be, so I'm probably sound the most red that I'll ever sound. But, like, I've noticed if I'm around Lajewski for a little too long, it can get a little dicey. And I mean that in the sense of I sound like Andrew Dice Clay. Like, I'll start picking up on...

Matt Lajski is our comic buddy who's from Jersey and is very, very, very Jersey. Bro, bro. And I think it's because I don't fucking put on for nobody, bro. I go into a fucking job interview, bro. I'm like, hey, can I weigh tables here? If not, suck my dick. Gold chain, black shirt.

don't give a fuck suck my dick he's got that bit where he's like if you're late for work why the fuck would you hurry you're not going to be on time your boss don't want you showing up kind of late and sweaty and gross just fucking get there when you get there yeah

yeah and I think it's because I love the way he talks so much that like while we're hanging out I almost like turn to a little chameleon like I will start by just be like yo you know because it's fun to say and then again by like two or three hours later I'm hammered and I'm just like yo it's get some fucking zah, you know, like,

just trying to, like, fucking go real deep with it. And I'm not intentional. It just happens. And I know that that's got to be really fucking annoying, because I hate it when people do that to us. Uh-huh. Although I hate it when not comedians do it because they're not funny. I guess when comedians do it, it's hilarious. I don't know. When Ty Glass did

it, to try, it was fucking great. Yeah, I don't know that I've had anybody do it, that it wasn't, clear that it was like, they were just trying to do a bit real quick, but they didn't like. Yeah, no, I just realized, as I said it, I'm annoyed when it's not funny. I don't know. I won't do it.

I just always get annoyed when I'm not... Because I won't be doing it to be making fun of Lajewski at all. It's just like... It's very... It'll just start and start and start. And then the next thing, you know, I'm like, I'm kind of talking like I'm from fucking Jersey. What the fuck is happening right here?

But I just realized I'm only annoyed in those instances because it's not funny. You know, and you're funny. You know what's a hilarious example of this is that... And he was just joking. He's kidding around. but we also have a friend who's a comedian who he likes to when he's around us he'll start making like

like acting like he's like a racist hillbilly or whatever he's Indian but he's the Indian dude and you know and it's and then he said like we said something about it it's like what is it was you know every time you get around us you start you know making like these acting like you're some you know racist hillbilly guy with the jokes or whatever else and he was like we're like we're you know, it's like when you guys get around

black guys and you start, you know, on the fucking, you know, pounder, talk about rap music or whatever, you know what I mean? I just want to fit in. I'm just trying to impress you guys. And that's his way of shitting on us. Which is the extra layer of the joke. Right. Yeah, I mean, it's pretending to think that everyone with our accent is racist.

It's a performance art on his part. I just realized, too, I was thinking, and it's funny we're talking about Matt, Mike Koscarelli, who I literally met the same time as Matt when they asked me to host their show. Mike has that thing. where when he hangs out with me and Corey, he'll just keep going,

God damn, everything I say. And I swear to God, Corey never said God damn boy until Mike started doing that. And now sometimes Corey will say, God damn boy. Yeah.

And by the way, it never made me mad that Mike did that because it was fucking funny. Exactly. That's why I realize. If it's funny, I don't mind it. And also like,

because that's the only thing he did. And Mike also seemed to like, when he said it, it'd tickle himself. Like he would go, God damn boy. And he would just really. His whole face life.

He has this really big sincere smile on his face. And I don't think he's made, like, to me it's not making fun. Like, he heard goddamn ways, like, I really like that. God damn, boy. So I think if you're out there listening and if you're wondering if you're allowed to do that, are you a comedian is the question. And if you're not, no, you're not allowed to. Or are you a funny comedian?

Right. Because there's plenty of comedians that try to do that shit and they fucking suck. And we met one last night. And anyways, do you guys ever find yourselves? We're talking about how it's unconscious or subconscious and it is, but do you ever find yourselves consciously, like, fighting against it?

Yes. Yeah, I do that all the time. Like, I'll find my, I will find my, like, when people accuse me

of, uh, you know, really porn and own thick with my accent, like when I'm on stage or whatever, I'm not. Right. But I do find myself,

like, leaning into it if I think the other person is judging me for the accent. Like, I'm a dumb ass. I find myself like, leaning into it more because of the fucking chill on my shoulder whatever I have.

I like saying stuff like, well, I mean, look, we can talk about institutional racism and a drug war, but if we're not going to address recidivism rates, I mean, we're up Schitt's Creek without a paddle and damn it. And just like, you know, some Yankee, liberal person being like,

he said a lot of syllables. I was, when I used to emcee at Sidesplitters in Knoxville, this feature came through once who was from the north and I don't even miss. Hey, hey, hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. Is it a bag? What kind of fucking bird is that? It looks like some kind of new raven.

It's a blue raven. It's like a blue raven. It's a pretty bird. Am I wrong in that I've never seen that? I ain't never seen that bird. It's got white on it too. White, black, and blue. And I am the blue raven.

White chest with like blue feather or wing feathers and the rest of it's black. I didn't mean to do that. It's just not every day that I see a new bird. He likes birds. I do like birds. It's not every day that I see a new bird. That's true. Should we tell that story?

I do like that. Let me finish this real quick. Should I tell on you about you liking birds? I don't care. All right, go ahead, Trey. There was this feature came through. I genuinely don't remember his name or nothing. I remember he was a real tall, lanky, lanky Yankee.

He was a lanky guy. And he was kind of, you know, whatever. At one point, he shucked. Yeah, he had shit on me on stage towards the very end of his set. I'm bringing the MC back up, and he, like, made fun of my accent and shit or whatever. and wearing Knoxville, Tennessee. And I got up there, and again, he's a real tall, skinny, goofy-looking white dude. And I was like, I said something about it.

I've been down for him to let Detliff fucking shrimp. So I'm here to show my accent or whatever. And it didn't get what I thought it deserved because people in Knoxville didn't know what debtless shrimp was. By the way, that's before Detless Shrimp was ever in a own parking or whatever. Yeah. He's a pretty obscure, you know, for that. That's a deep cut of a reference.

No way. That's a deep cut. third best player one of the best teams that never won a championship in the history of the world so I was Super Honics. Right, I mean,

he was the German. I agree with you. He was the German in the league. Anyway, so that left, whatever his real name was, when he first met me, we were talking about, he had a regular job too,

and I was like, yeah, I did. And he said, and he's asked me what it was, and I said, I worked for the U.S. Department of Energy, and he said, he said something was like, he said something like,

did they recoil in terror in your job interview when they heard your accent and I was like and I said it was like I mean you know yeah they probably did and they got over it when they saw my master's degree of my 4.0 GPA you motherfucker you know or whatever like yeah I just as you were saying

I just have to like I get defensive about it and then I lean into it and pour it don't even thinker and then start using big words and shit just because of the blatant hypocrisy and just oh my God I hate that shit so I'm pretty pretty sure I just said blatant hypocrisy without an accent. Because that's a very...

I don't know why he did that. Yeah, I learned that in Boston. You're right? We don't say we don't say that down there. We say, he's full of shit, God damn. Corey and birds. It's very clear he's full of shit. Oh, Corey and Burbs.

If we do this, I do want to circle back to this because there's more I want to talk about because I would like to encourage everyone out there to you don't fucking keep their accent, but don't get consumed with it. Give yourself a fucking break if you code switch because we all do it, right? It's fun sometimes. All right. Corey does like birds, but we were in a meeting and is one of the meetings that we were very comfortable. Hence what you're about to say.

Yes. And right when we sat down, Corey saw a cartoon of a crow on like a little idea board. And we call ourselves the three ravens, like we talk about things being raven. It's on our book. There's ravens on the book. Our mascot is a raven. If you go deep with our live. or, you know, trades the red raven.

If you go deep with our lore, I like that. We got lower. I'm the blue raven. Where's the white raven? Anyway, we got ravens. We're raven. And so he sees that, he points. He gets excited.

Also, when something bad's about to happen, we're like, oh, tears of ravens, the ravens are calling. Yeah. Well, so there was a picture of a raven, and it said, and we saw it as a good omen. And it said the crows are laughing. Which is awesome. And I was like, I pointed at it. I may have been like, hey. And he got excited

And The people in the meeting were like, what is it? And Corey was like, oh shit How do you explain what we just explained to y'all? So instead of explaining it I know what he didn't explain it No, I get it. Yeah, it would take 10 minutes to fucking explain it

So instead of doing that, he just says I like birds I like birds Yeah And then because of that And Trey didn't know, he didn't see poll that led up to it. And our manager Nat was there, and she didn't see it either.

Me and Corey, the only two people in the whole room who know what's going on right now. Well, these people are so sweet and so nice to us. They were like, oh, you like birds? Well, we got a bird cartoon. And they just start giving us swag. Comic books related to birds. Yeah. And Corey has to be like, oh, cool.

And it is super cool. By the way, it is cool. And I read them. They're fantastic. Yeah. And we took pictures with that fucking... There was a bird. with a detachable penis.

We have to release it. The penis pick. We will with this podcast. Absolutely. Yeah, that'll be the picture with this podcast. All because you said, I like birds.

Yeah. And one of the people in that room is a sincere, deep listener of the podcast. Her name's Becca. She's from Wyoming, and she proved that she lives in the podcast regularly. Yeah. So she's going to hear this. And I want you to know that was completely benign.

There was no malice in what happened. And we sincerely like the bird comic. Because let me tell you right now, the way we just explained the ravenry is not even how deep we really should go with it. Like that was the short version. Like in that meeting, I would have got out of gotten a weeds real quick. It would look weird and that. But so anyway, and by the way, I do like birds. Clearly.

Well, clearly that's how we got off on this tangent was because you saw a bird. My interrupted me and said, hold on, boys. You never seen that bird? It ain't every day. I see a new bird. But isn't it possible, though, that this is like the time we gave you a disease where you say food instead of real words? Because we're pretending like you had that disease and then you started doing it. No, no, no, no.

Well, see, but that ain't really how that happened. He did it once. He did it more than once. He did it a couple of times and then it became a thing and now he really hasn't. We gave him the disease. We gave him the animal disease and the bird disease. But I told them, remember, I used to do a joke about pigeons, about how I like pigeons. Yeah, they're all named Carl.

They're all named Carl. They're all male. They're all grown-ups. There's no baby pigeons. And they also look like just fat dudes that run around a grand with you and shit like that. Yeah, Carl. So, I mean, again, there is much evidence for my love of birds. So I wasn't really lying.

There is much evidence for my love of birds. I'm talking to Becca right now. I didn't. I wasn't just like, you know. Wait, we weren't under oath in that meeting. That's fine. Either one of y'all ever had a pet bird. No.

I had to keep, I had to take care of one when the neighbors went on. I wouldn't do that to a bird. assholes, man. You got to put a blanket over them. And they're like, and even then they don't. Oh, yeah.

I wonder why they're dicks. Okay, my, Angelou. I'm just saying. Got a cage bird's things. Yeah, I mean, we all get it.

What I'm saying? I don't get it. Why are you going to put a blanket over the house? No, no, but I'm saying he's like, yeah, they're in a cage. It's like,

I mean, okay, that's true for basically any pet you could name. Oh, it's in a fish tank. Oh, it's in a terrarium. It's in a little whatever. If a fish can't, If a fish could make noise, it probably would.

Right, exactly, but it can't. You are not having birds as pets. It reminds me about if you have to keep it in a cage, you ought not have it. You shouldn't let it not fly. If it won't stick around on its own, you ought not have it. Fish can swim. Yeah, but that ain't the same. The ocean's as big as the sky.

Fuck y'all. They could swim. No, the bird can't fly in the cage. Yeah, it can swim in a tank. Yeah. The bird can move around inside its cage as much as a fish can move around inside a fucking bowl. Well, yeah, you are not have fish. in a bowl you ought to give them like a nice aquarium i'm saying i'm saying what i'm saying is like pets

of whatever don't draw the line just at birds is all i'm saying i said anything you have to keep in a cage to keep it from leaving your place you or not have that's what you don't though especially like parents and shit they a lot of people don't keep them in cages then you can't stick around that that's fine then i'm fine with that okay but yeah i absolutely fine with that but if you put it in a thing that it's like it literally can't even spread its wings out and all right cool it's code switch yeah like you take a parent up to New York and he's like embarrassed by his redneck owner

so he starts getting a better accent too hilarious this is the second time we talked about this kind of because I know it led to us playing a YouTube video on an audio only podcast because that's how smart we are

but it was a YouTube video of a bird of a crow saying fuck you to a guy on a park bench or whatever yeah and that was funny as shit yeah so I went back and listen to it you can hear it well anyway I had a birer for a while you did

in high school somebody some you know I think somebody traded it to my mama for some pills or something I don't remember what kind of hard was it was like a it was a it was a parakeet or a cockatel and one of them like eight hundred dollars I hope she got a whole mess of pills his name was gracing and that motherfucker would never shut up I'm thinking about that scene in dumb and dumber except it's your mom stealing a headless bird and trying to sell it

repeals and it's cracking my the fuck up. No, it's been a lot as you're doing with that motherfucker was headless. High and higher. He just sat over there. Just like, you put the blanket over his cage to try to get shut the fuck up and it wouldn't work. Just make all these crazy whistling noises out throughout the night. My dad hated it because he never wanted it in the first place.

Wait, you had a schizophrenic bird that your mom got contraband. I'm telling you they do that. Like, all just make whistle noises in the night? Yeah. Well, not like, maybe not literally all of them, but it's absolutely a thing. Please describe the noise. me. I can't, like, just,

man, I don't know. It sounds like a bird skiing. Dude, it's been 20 years ago, man. I can't even remember now. Whatever you think you're working on. You need to write a show about your pillhead mama and your fucking schizophrenic bird.

We ended up giving the bird to... Motherfucker co-swish this whole goddamn life. We ended up giving the bird to my truck driver, grandpa. So, and then I don't know what happened to it after that. So he could impress lot lizards with it? Basically, yeah. He added. For his old lady that he was with at the time she'd all.

she'd always wanted a bird. So we can't. I'm talking. I know. I can't ever down to you because of code switching ever again. Just play this clip.

No, no, no. My mom got me a pet bird. She got it by giving this girl some pills. You know, hey, that's where we got.

And then I gave it to my truck drive of papo because some whore he was with. I didn't call her. Well, he said she was a lot, no, no,

no, no. Oh, I misunderstood. But just his old lady at the time, it's always one, but I swear to God,

you know what her name was? Please be Crystal. Mozel. Mozel, the boat, man. I swear to God, dude.

Moselle always wanted a bird. So, Mozel was a bird, man. And my dad was like, well, God damn, take that fucking bird.

I can't sleep in this fucking house with it anymore. He used to shit in its water all the time, too. Probably because it was, man, it's in a fucking cage.

Yeah, for sure. Poison itself. But I mean, hell. They had a better life with Moselle. What was the bird's name, Grayson? Graysen.

Mozel and Grayson. There, give me a million dollars. Let's make the show. Jesus Christ. And by the way, I'm sorry. Grayson sounds like a toy guard. And your grandfather and anyone out there listening. I'm sorry I called your granddad's old lady a whore.

I thought you literally meant a whore. No, and I could see why you thought that, because you had said a lot of lizard. And we've heard other stories. Right. I can't. Buddy. My grandpa, that particular grandpa was a whorbinger. A wharfangin son of a bitch.

He was a horbanger from way back. Yeah. Bursk Ballet Hall of Fame Horviner. Name my youngest son after him. I like the idea of him driving a hornbanging son. That was his shit. That's all he knew. In my head, Mosel left him for another man, but left the bird behind, and he traded that

bird to a light lizard one night in an exchange. And so the barter there was peeled. for a bird bird as a gift and then bird in exchange for you know the oldest professional it sucks

I mean it sucks to be any bird not to live in a cage but it doubly sucks to be trapped in a white trash circle of fucking bartering just a pale paramed just a pale paramed well the bird's name was Grayson

scheme it was what I think it was is this is an example of reincarnation Grayson was like a rapey frat boy in life before and now he had to be caught in the circle of bird hell that's what i said gracing sounds like a fucking point guarded in all white high school so like he's grason allen that's why you come with that and i'm glad you brought him up because he looks like a bird and i hate his ass i love how much you hate certain athletes well anyway where we at core uh bird hell bird hell

50 we're in birdhale right now. Oh, well, we got 10 minutes left. We all want to talk about. I mean, probably something important. I don't know. Probably something important. Pause it. No, hell.

Let's start it. I'll tell you what we can talk about whiskey. Because Canada may stay on whiskey. Tennessee is pretty well known for whiskey around the world. And I was thinking just last night because I was looking at a sign Canadian whiskey. And it was whiskey, W-H-I-S-K-Y. Okay. And you see it spelled either with it, with an E or without an E, right?

Yeah. I don't know what the difference is and how they make them or not. I thought it was like. Maybe you do, but the rule of thumb I heard the other day, I read on the internet the other day was, if you want to know whether to spell it with an E or without an E, look at where it was made. Yeah. And if it was made, if the name of the country in where it was produced, if the country has an E in it, so does the word whiskey.

If it doesn't, it does not. So Canada, no E. America, E. Japan, no E. Ireland. E. So Irish whiskey has an EY. I mean, unless I was getting that wrong. I was just going to say. But I know that's not what determines it, but it's one of those weird.

It's like it's one of those weird coincidences. But I thought, it was like how they don't know how it spell center or in theater. Right. It's like R.E. Right. Well, I mean, we're the ones who don't know to spell it because they invented the language. But I thought that was like the British spelling in Canada. I mean, you know, they walk around like they're nice, but, you know, this is a monarchy.

Yeah, no, it's one of the British babies. We're a rebellious child. Like it's, right. Well, we'd all the brother. to make like and yeah the rebellious one but like Australia's older than us Our two

Our two siblings is Canada and Australia And south Nope maybe Briefly no that was Dutch Yeah they weren't Yeah that's not That's the only two

I thought there was one more Well Britain had all kinds of Communies but they ain't white Right not white Like India Or India was British India for a very long time But what I'm saying is Only in Canada Australia

And America did the Brits come murder all of the natives and turn the whole country white. Right. So that's why we are, we're England's children. Okay. To me. Me too. Mother England, and there's us and our two brothers, Canada and Australia.

I don't know what the fuck this has to do with whiskey, but I'm just saying. Have you all ever done the bourbon trail? Mm-mm. In Kentucky? I'm mad about how I haven't never done that. In Kentucky? It's the only one. Well, we were on.

I'm very surprised you. We were accidentally on it briefly when we were. No, no, no, no, but I mean, like, stopped at all of the things. No, no, no, no, no. But we went to that one place, though, and remember we ordered that old-fashioned, the guy when he gave it to us, he gave us, like, a history presentation.

Yes. Of that hip-in me. Not only the bourbon that was in it, but also the cocktail itself and all that stuff. Was it for me very hard. Yeah, that was in Frankfurt, Kentucky. We was already drunk. Y'all said, I heard at one point,

Drew's on phone with somebody, and he was like, I don't know, some place in Kentucky, Frankfurt or something. I was like, this is the capital of the state. All I knew was Lexington and Louisville. Why were we there? We were driving from Lexington and Louisville.

We had shows. But me and you's already hammered. I believe. No, no. It was the middle of the day. We were writing the book. We stopped there to write to work on the book. Instead of a copy shop, instead of a coffee shop, we went to a bourbon place.

They had that Kentucky bourbon barrel, stout. It was like a bourbon bar slash library. Yeah. I remember it was cool. It was a super southern. It was very cool. probably like getting up a year ago to this date that we were there because it's about when we started working on a book it's true yeah yeah yeah by the book liberal redneck manifesto dragon dixie out of the dark matter of fact

i know it is because i had a photo come up on my time hop the other day i hadn't put it on the internet and they can do it from your phone now and it was a it was a picture i had sent to one of y'all of my computer of me working on one of the chapters so god damn what a fucking year it's been i want to drink some whiskey. What were you going to say about whiskey, though, when you brought it up in the first place, Drew? What's the difference in, as far as the way they make it, again, aside from the like coincidental rule of thumb thing I gave, what's the difference in whiskey with E, whiskey without a e, bourbon, scotch, all that shit? Scotch has to do with the malt and the peat. I don't know a lot about it because I'm not as big of a fan. Yeah, me neither. I've tried to

fuck with scotch. Like, I want to, it's sort of like when I started making money, I tried to drink sparkling water for a while and that didn't take. It was kind of that way with scotch, too. It still ain't took. Spark on water? It took for me. Yeah, it took for me too.

I get the bubble guts from it. It took a while. It took a while for me too. I didn't, I get the bubble guts from it. Speaking of bubble guts, they got to poop. So it was like I started, I stopped eating Subway sandwiches.

You stopped eating Subway? Yeah. All right. Real quick. I mean, people can look it up. But, I mean, the only difference I can remember, and I used to know in great detail,

but I have forgotten. I mean, well, first of all, Tennessee whiskey is usually corn mash. Right. And that's not really how you make bourbon. And then it has to do with the charred barrels, which is where you get the brown coloring and the caramel flavor from with bourbon. They char sherry barrels, which I also do believe is what, I think that is what scotch is stored in, too, but it's just different somehow.

It has to do with the char and the caramelization. Because, I mean, scotch is scotch whiskey, right? It is whiskey. Dude, scotch tastes very different, though. Like, Burbank and whiskey, I mean, yeah, they take different, but the Scottish is got its own thing going on too. The scotch is like extremely different. Irish whiskey is my favorite. Yeah, well, bourbon's my favorite.

And I know that the difference there with bourbon and with Tennessee whiskey, most of it, is the caramelization through the charring process. That's literally all I could say about it. And, you know, you know what? We should have someone on at some point to explain that shit. That would be it. A master distiller or something, that'd be super awesome. Or that dude we're meeting in Lexington. Mm-hmm.

I forgot his name right now. We'll holler at him. I got to go to the bathroom and holler at this too right now. We'll close this one out. Thank you all for joining us and, you know, listen to us next week. Who knows what we'll be up to? But we'll see you then. Skee!

Thank you all for listening to The Well Red Show. We'd love to stick around longer, but we got to go. Tune in next week if you got nothing to do. Thank you, God bless you. Good night and Scoot.
