wellRED podcast - #211 - Old Fairy Tales are Terrifying! (and other such nonsense)

Episode Date: March 10, 2021

This week the boys talk Jack and The Beanstalk, The Princess and The Pea, Beauty and the Beast, and many other silly dumb things (and also Trump being an asshole and Vaccine stuff)

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 you 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 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 or reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

They're the they're the liberal rednecks day like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fuck.

They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people. upset but they got three big old dicks that you can sun. Um, Hey everybody, uh, well-read comedy.com. W-E-L-R-E-D comedy.com. That is where you can go to find out where it is.

We're going to be as soon as the world opens back up, uh, crossing my fingers, knocking on wood, all that good stuff. But I don't know. It's starting to feel like we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And I'm starting to allow myself to get a little bit excited.

If you like this podcast, check out our sister podcast. I've got through the screen door with Corey Ryan Forster. Trey has evening skis with him in Smart Mark Aegee, and Drew, of course, has Into the Abisket with DJ, DJ Lewis. Are y'all feeling hopeful? Is it just me? Yeah. I'm feeling pretty good.

Yeah, I'm feeling hopeful for sure. Yeah. But, you know, I just, I don't want to, you know, apparently we're all three more superstitious than we realize, but I just don't want janks, nothing. No, I hear you. I too. don't want to tempt the Ravens or whatever it is.

Yeah, right. But, yes. I'm not like, you know, I don't think it's going to be May. I think it's going to be late summer. Right. That's still good. I mean, better than what I would have. That's better than what I would have thought a couple months ago.

Honestly, because, yeah, I just, I was passing through the news as I do. That's where I say when I don't really read it, I just, I just pass through it. I see a bunch of headlines. I'm like, well, all right. I did see that deaths were down. and that's been something that I haven't seen in a long time. So, I mean, that hits. Yeah, we got less death.

I think that's where we're at in America. I'm trying to find the less deaths. More people have been vaccinated already than have had the virus in total in this country the whole time. That's confirmed, of course, a whole lot of people had it and never knew it. There's no telling how many people had it that we don't know about because so many people are asymptomatic or whatever. Yeah. But as far as confirmed cases. But how many some bitches is vaccinated we don't know about?

Now, Slobberhose was telling me about somebody taking some goat warmer and they're pretty sure that'd take care of themselves out there in Oklahoma. So you got a factor that in too, right? Yeah, yeah. People doing their own thing. Goat wormer, you say? Yeah. You could see how that would work. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I have no idea. What's the, like, for real, though, is there like a... No. I know, but I guess what I'm trying to say is, like, is like, is it? Is there one common ingredient? Yeah, is there like an ingredient in gut warmer that's also in the vaccine? So people are like, you know.

I'm going to be completely honest. I was talking to him and DJ and Keybump. And that came up. And then the next thing I know we're talking about, and I won't mention who, but somebody fainting from the vaccine and whether or not it was a real faint or, you know, in your mind faint. And then we moved on. And I can't believe that.

But I'm like, I'm a little ashamed. I did not. I was not a goat-wormer detective that day. I just kind of took it on its face. Right. Yeah, I understand that. I just did, like, I don't know. I have never, I don't know, I have heard the correlation between goat-wormer and the vaccine.

Could have been a bit. Could have been. Corey. Yeah. I've been mean to ask you. So one of your many aliases, of course, one of the more notorious ones, is the buttercream dream. That guy, yeah. Would you care to explain where you got,

came up with the name for that character? Are you, is this a trick question? No, where'd you come up with the name for it? So that was, it was a kind of tandem thing. I mean, unless, am I misremembering something here? No. You're sort of freaking me out. No, just tell me.

Don't ask me stuff. No. I don't want to answer stuff. Well, it's just I thought that we'd gone over this, but basically, okay, me and my manager Nat were discussing the care i i had done a thing before the buttercream dream where it was me with a belt before the name had happened and we were talking about it and drew had pitched johnny percassette and which by the way still think it's hilarious so glad i didn't go with that just because i think it would it wouldn't

that wasn't a real pitch no no no i know but like it did hit for me like it didn't not hit that's not me saying don't hit so i was going over nat was like you know this is a really good idea, but you got to have a really good name. And I was like, yeah, no, I know. And in my mind, like, I had, the word dream had been thrown around a lot because, like, Dusty Roads was the American dream. And I love Dusty Roads. And so much of that character to me was, like, kind of a play on Dusty Roads. I mean, it's a chubby guy. Like, Dusty Roads was the guy who, like, he was never bulky, but people loved him just because he was telling it like it is and spoke for the true American, you know, so I knew it wanted to be something to dream. And he had that accent,

not the same as yours, but a similar effect on the people. Exactly. So, so Dream was in my head something dream and she was sitting there and she's like well you love you know you love dairy and so i was like the cheese dream you know and it's like no that ain't it and then it was like butter butter butter butter bean butter dream butter cream butter cream boom there it is so like to me that's that's how it came from unless i got drunk and told you something different no so no gang ties do what oh you've got to be shitting me is this like is this like is this like the time when I bought boots and it was like, them are Nazi boots.

Like I literally just can't do something right. I'll just look here. Explain this to me. The films for families invite you to see its most treasured film. A story about unconditional love and the courage of true friendship. I'm confused, P. What do you really want? I want you to hate me.

Is that Drew? I can't hate you. Me not. The buttercream. gang. What? Coming this fall. We've talked about the buttercream.

We actually, wait, we have, haven't we? A long time ago we talked about it, but I got reminded of it last night. And I don't know, I had this endless fascination with the buttercream gang because, like, You know, I bet you that subconsciously was in there. Do you remember it? I remember us having this conversation out. And you don't remember the movie or the movie. I remember them being a thing, and my brain has taken them and the apple dumpling gang and just

mushed them together into this thing. But I do remember us now talking about the buttercream gang. But yeah, this is kind of gone upside my head because I haven't thought about it since then. Well, I just got reminded of again last night, but it's always fascinating to me because I spent most of my life, I mean, up until about 10 years or so ago, because I think I tried to put them in a bit as a reference, like as a tag, I referenced the buttercream gang. But I spent most of my life thinking that everyone, at least everybody my age as a kid, watch those movies because those movies got shown to us in school.

I guess they did us too, probably. They'd show us those movies. And so I thought everybody knew the buttercream gang. But then when I was older and early in stand-up, I don't remember the joke at all. But I had some joke where I referenced the buttercreen gang, and it never worked. And I was so perplexed by that at first because I was like,

I mean, that's funny. Y'all don't think that's funny. And then I came to find out, like, a lot of people have no idea what that is. is. But if you don't, I don't recommend watching the whole movie, but please look up some clips or something. Yeah. Because it is hilarious how it's the widest, like most. You don't say shit on planet Earth. Like, it's also Christian. Yeah, it's Christian, right? Right. So, but if I recall, they don't, it's one of those things that's like feature films for families, I think was like a

Christian endeavor. But in the movie, it's like subtly Christian. It's not overtly Jesusy, but that company was, like, the subtlety was on purpose. Does that make sense? Yeah, right. And not just like, slipping the Jesus in. Right, because Mom had a subscription to that company as a Sunday school teacher where we would get, like, once a month, we get a different one, like the Columbia House Records for Jesus movies. and I remember some Yeah, and I remember some of their material

Like having instructions on Like covert I don't want to make it sound more sinister than it was But just like talking about how this movie Could lead you to talk about Jesus stuff But the movie is designed to not be overt about the Jesus stuff Subliminal Jesus stuff Yeah, like we'll send you this cool movie for cool kids

And then you'll talk about Jesus. I think-Trad, do you remember the end? no yeah a meal refresh well first of all there was more than one movie wasn't there or was there just this one because I remember it as like a series

there was all kinds of buttercream gang movies but there was other titles too okay because like it was always funny it's funny to me because you know they're a gang the buttercream gang or whatever and they're a gang who like rides bikes around and like helps old ladies

stand back up and things like that and it's like just I don't know. It's so Mormon-y. Like, but it's not Mormon, right? It's just regular Jesus. It's not Mormon Jesus. Well, there went Drew and I'll be back. But it's so, it's like so intensely white and smiley white.

That makes sense that it just, it feels like some Mormon stuff to me. But I don't think it is. Now I can't remember my brain's sort of playing like some fucking tricks on me. Like, I can't remember if I actually remember the buttercream game or if I'm just remembering the last time we had this. this exact conversation. Yeah. I've done this multiple times.

No, I know you have. Come up and I remember them. I'm always like re-facinated. I can tell you right now, I can tell you right now that, even more proof to me that they aren't as widely popular as you thought they were. As nobody's brought that up to you.

Not even at all. Like not even, not one person has been like. Well, dude, I didn't think about it. Right. Until like, Katie showed me this thing last night. It was a clip of somebody making fun of the buttercream gang.

And in the context of the clip she saw, the girl in the clip was like, y'all, like, it was presented as this extremely obscure thing. You're not going to believe how hilariously stupid this is, y'all, that type of thing. So reaffirming that a great many people don't know anything about the buttercream gang. But Katie showed me that. But she remembered it. That's why she thought it was funny because they watched it in school too. So I know a lot of people did and a lot of people didn't, apparently.

But when she showed it to me, it popped into my head. You've been Buttercream Dream for almost a year now, and I've never thought about it either. But when she told me that last night, I was like, that's kind of funny. I know he didn't, but it would be funny to joke that Corey either used to be in the buttercream gang or is like the antagonist of the buttercream gang or something. For the record, part of the buttercream gang cinematic universe. Hold on, Drew, before you blow our mind, let me tell you this, it can be that now. Yeah.

And let me tell you why it can be that now. One day, I just decided that I was going to be a wrestler on the internet. Matt, I'll just make this a thing too. I'm adding this to the universe. Go ahead, Drew, blow our minds. Now, here are the feature film for family movies in order of popularity. Hoosiers. Really?

Space Camp. Space Jam? Space Camp. Okay, I was about saying, get the fuck out of here. It's for 86. Where the red fern grows. Bro, I have never cried. hard in my life when them two goddamn

and then paper brigade buttercream gang and something called Rigoletto which I remember did you guys see Rigoletto Is that Italian? It was a Phantom of the Opera It was a Phantom of the Opera rip off Kind of that one Man one of my cousins I don't remember if it was Mandy Atasha loved it

He taught kids how to sing Like that was his job but he was real ugly And you know someone learned the meaning of being nice to an ugly person So it was like the hunchback in that Dom and Ugly Duckman. Mixed with the van. Yeah, basically they just took a bunch of old fairy tales,

ripped them all off and named a Regaletto, which is a good move. Hey, did Quasimodo fuck Esmeralda? I can't remember. I haven't seen that movie in a long time. I mean, in real life, I was about to make a really terrible joke. Yeah, I know what you're going to say.

But like, in the movie, did they end up together? I don't know either. Katie would be offended that I don't know, but I don't know. I'm certain Katie knows, but she ain't here right now. because I haven't, yeah, I haven't seen that one in a long time. And I don't know, like to me, that seemed like the whole thing. Like, the striking prince type dude was trying to get this. The princess and the pee?

I kind of remember that. The princess and the pee was just, this girl was so sensitive that she couldn't sleep on a bed if you put a pee at the bottom of it, right? And didn't that, and that's a fairy tale. Didn't that, like, prove her worth? Yes. It wasn't at the point of it. Yeah.

was proving that she really was a princess, so she really did, you know, hit enough to be married by this guy. A true princess would be such a, I guess, she'd have such high standards, I guess that she would be able to feel a Pete or she's that sensitive.

Which one was it? It was a sensitive thing, but I don't know. That was it. It was just the fact that you could feel it. Like soft and dainty and princessy. Yeah, soft and dainty. Or if like,

or I guess maybe one of the contentions could be like, If even anything was a little bit off, this person would know it. You know what I'm saying? Have you all seen that lady, she's on TikTok, but her videos go viral everywhere. She takes old stuff like that and then tells you how dark the actual story is. She a therapist? That's so weird you say this because I was just about to bring that general idea up, but I'm not as well versed in it.

But I had an experience with this recently myself, but go ahead. No, I don't know this girl, but I'm interested. I don't know. I'm not saying that the princess and the pee is one. I was going to say, I just wonder if it was. The last one she did that surprised me, most of them haven't surprised me at all. The last one she did that surprised me, I turned it off. I'm going to be completely honest with you.

The way she does her video, she starts singing them, and then she cuts to herself with like a different look, like a different shirt. And she's like, hey, you know where that came from, right? She walks in chanting five little monkeys jumping on the bell. Oh, yeah, I know that one. Nope, nope, root, nope, turn that off. I ain't going down this rabbit hole with you, girl. But she does stuff like that. I wonder if Princess and P has some kind of dark origin.

Well, since they almost all do because they come from a time when everybody died all the time. You know, it's like that ring around the rosy thing is a plague song, you know, like the past was falling down. Rific, right? Yeah. Like, they all have dark roots or whatever or are just different than the way you remember them. And I texted y'all about this, but I haven't talked about it on here. This subject has been on my mind a little bit lately because Bishop, my third grader, has been reading. and like covering in his English class,

Jack and the Beanstalk. And like, it's wild to me that in his little third grade book, they have apparently the original version because I was going over it with him and I was like, wait a minute. And I went and looked it up and turns out they've been multiple versions

where they've sort of like taken the edges off of the story or made it more like, okay. Because of the original story, dude, Jack is a thieving little shit who deserves every ounce of the wrath that the giant throws at him but it's never, it was never ever was presented that way.

The giant was always the bad guy just because he's big and, right, big and scary. But dude, Jack fucking broke into his house, lied to his wife, stole his shit, and got away from him,

came back and kept doing it. And like, you know, if I was a giant, I'd want to, and he had knitted it up, getting the giant killed. Didn't he kill his dad though?

And also, didn't he kill Jack's dad? Isn't that? No, they added all that later. Because at a certain point, they, you know, big fairy tale or whatever, they realized somewhere along the way that like, hey, this is kind of fucked up. So they added in all this stuff to the story where like, turns out the giant had that the golden goose and all that stuff was really Jack's family's property. It was Jack's dads, and the giant had killed Jack's dad and stole that from him.

So Jack was just like getting justice or whatever. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's not the original story, though. That was all added later. And the original story, Jack just goes up there, ruins this dude's whole life, steals everything, and makes his wife a widow, and then just goes back to his house. He's a little idiot, too, because, you know, it starts with him trading the best cow.

their only cow, the only reason for them beans. He's a dumbass and a little prick. Well, I'm jack don't hit. I believe that you should rewrite that, well, not rewrite, but like bring the old one back. Yeah. And like I said, dude, amazingly to me, the version that Bishop has is like the original unsanitized version, which that really shocked me because that's the only reason I noticed it because I was reading through it with him, and I was like, dude, this is, all right.

For the record, for the record, we're going to blame this on, like, Zoom and quarantine fog. But we have had this exact discussion. It's been a few months. About jacking the goddamn beanstalk. I'm pretty sure on the podcast because I've never looked it up. Well, maybe I dreamed it. I went and looked it up, or maybe I went and looked it up when we were texting about it. And according to Wikipedia, the first written version of it,

It's from the 17 or 1800s, but like the Bible and all these other things, the first written version was based on an old tale. And so it's unclear, it seems, what the actual origin had. But in the first written one, it seems that those goods he retrieved were stolen from his family, in the first written. According to Wikipedia. I remember looking this up too, and I thought they said that was the, quote, romanticized version of it or whatever, that it wasn't the original story.

And again, maybe we did then talk about it on the podcast, but I text, we texted about all this. I texted y'all, we went back and forth, Wikipedia articles, all that stuff. So I think that's- How long ago was this? About a month and a half, probably, a month and a half. Word? Yeah. You may have just been out of pocket at that time. I was about to say.

I've been one of the times where you hit real hard and just couldn't keep up with stuff. You know, the vitally important content of our group chat, you had to reprival. Well, I was about to say, like, over the years, when I've been, when I've been, when I've I've been drinking. I've missed a lot, but I haven't been drinking. Right. And I feel, because I don't remember none of that. You're right.

And the original written by, well, I don't know if that's the original. Whoever Jacobs is, which, let's see here. See, all right, Jacobs wrote it in 1890 in English fairy tales. But it was also published in 1807 by Benjamin Tabert, and it was a very different story. But Jacobs is the one that got famous tray. And in that one, he gave no justification for the murder. But in the 1807 version, there was some justification for the murder, but that one didn't take off. That one wasn't the one that, you know what I mean?

That didn't have for people. On the Wikipedia page under moral perspectives, the first line is, the original story portrays a hero gaining the sympathy of a man's wife, hiding in his house, robbing him, and finally killing him. In Tabart's moralized, it wasn't romanticized as moralized, Taybart's moralized version, a fairy woman explains that the giant had robbed and murdered his father or whatever. So that's why I'm getting that. Right, right.

That's 1807. It started out as the shittier. So at first, it basically just like. Hold on. Hold on, Corey. Also, though, and this like proves your point even more, that's the 1807 version that wasn't as popular, the moralizing. In 1890, a writer wrote down the unmorealized version and said it was based on his accounts of people telling it to him that it wasn't even based on the 1807 one. And that one was the more popular.

you see what I'm saying so like the more popular first version quote unquote the second version didn't have that in there either so so was it hit with the morals I was about to say so was the whole thing of the first one just like this little feller found this giant and giants are different than us they're therefore they don't hit right and so he just killed him and we went up and wrecked the shit and robbed him and that hits because he's different but he didn't do nothing bad he just don't hit

yeah I think so yeah that it's funny to me that in 1807 this guy was like well let's make it to where he finds out he robbed his family and that did okay and then in 1890 this old boy was like no take that part out and it did better yeah we just we just liked it because he killed something different

that hit that's the hitting part fuck that different thing different no hit I guess you I guess you could just like back then that was that was all you needed I guess like they'd heard about David and Goliath enough to where like that was just built into them like little little beating big is always good no matter what right right yes well I think there's just a freight of giants in general back then you know

on account of how many of them have murdered your papas according to family legend but yeah I think all of those stories pretty much like we said and again but I don't know the specifics of the other ones, but like the hunchback of Notre Dame and Notre Dame, whatever, Peter Pan, all the like Grimm's fairy tales, all of them were originally way more dark and fucked up than like the versions that kids here nowadays. Well, like, dude, some of the shit, though, that we still fuck with to this day, like, it's not even like hidden in there contextually. Like, it's just so out in the open.

Like, Beauty and the Beast is horrifying. Like, I love it for the record. like I am not in any way trying to say cancel beauty in the beast because it glorifies kidnapping a lady, which it does. But like, I mean, it just does. Like she gets kidnapped by this dude. But then, oh, they fall in love and therefore it's okay. Like it's kind of a fuck. I mean, it's Stockholm syndrome.

I'm not recreating the wheel here. Like people know that. But like, it is that. Everyone knows that. And they just did a new one two years ago. You know what I mean? And nobody gives a rat's ass. All them like, and I know that all the old Disney movies are based on fairy tales and stuff.

But yeah, even the most like innocent versions are still like all that true loves kiss bullshit. Do you know what I mean? That don't hit nowadays. Right. For feminist purposes. And that's like the least, you know, now offensive versions or whatever or the least unfortunate versions of all. But when you're doing fairy tales, you're just going to have that. No, I know.

I want to look up the princess in the pee because, again, I think the whole, the point of it was, it was to prove that she was like, the fairest one of all. Yeah, the fairest one of it. Right, an actual princess. And the proof of that was, right. It was so, like, high maintenance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She couldn't, like, she couldn't sleep if even something the size of a pea was under nine.

Like, if some random, if some random fat cobbler's, whore was just to sleep on a bed. She would never notice the pee, and if she did, she'd eat it. I can't decide how that got over on all the boys. Like, how'd that get over on the cobbler? It has to be,

it has to be him being like, that's right. You couldn't even notice if I put a an envelope under you, you're too fat. Yeah, I mean, because I can't imagine an old boy not going, oh, she can't sleep on a pee. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's like that, it's like she's supposed

to be like Aziz in that bit where he's like fucking 600 thread count I almost slept on that shit oh I almost slept on that shit uh yeah it says the princess in the pea is a literary fairy tale by hans christian anderson about a young woman whose royal identity is established by a test of her sensitivity so yeah i mean that's that's what it was hans christian anderson's treasure island right oh that's robert louis stevenson oh yeah you're right hans christian andersen is which one else is he? A lot of them. The Emperor's new clothes.

Yeah. Little mermaid, that's it. Mostly not the darkling. Thumbelina. All them jams. Well, he was the latter one and the grim one was the dark ones, I think. Right? Yeah.

Yeah, I used to love as a kid, I'd read like Aesop's Tales and Grimm's fairy tales and stuff. Oh, yeah. Aesop's Fables was real big where I was at. Yeah. The goddamn, the one with the, what was the one with the, what was the one with the line and the thorn in his paw and shit as him wasn't it and the um mouse mouse yeah that was a sop wasn't it yeah yeah maybe i mean i remember that one but i get them all mixed up uh some of them continue to hit you know what i mean like the emperors and those or whatever that

the point of that one still uh still hits and there's and that movie rules it also one that i didn't hear about to way later so i don't even know if it is an old fairy tale if it's a more recent one because i didn't hear about it as an adult but that the the tale of the scorpion and the frog or whatever you know that one is that the one was was a scorpion trying to eat the frog and he was choking him from the outside the scorpion there's a scorpion a frog scorpion needs to get across the river frog's like no it don't hit you're a scorpion you know and stay there he's like and the scorpion's like dude i'm not going to what am i going to do like you're my only way if i kill you i drowned i'm going to drown yeah that doesn't make any sense and the frog's like ah all right so he climbs

on and the frog's giving him a right across and halfway through the scorpion stabs him with a stinger and as they're both drowning the frog's like why and scorpion is just like because that's what i do baby i'm a scorpion that's what he do that's what i do yeah i was always going to stab you motherfucker had you not know but that's like you know that one's often relevant politically nowadays absolutely if i'm going down you're going down with you me. I just, yeah. That's just my leopard ate my face is one of my favorite reddits

and that's what it's all about. It's like the whole premise is I'm surprised this leopard ate marks. Right. I don't think I know that one. Yeah, you do, Cho. Well, we've shared a lot of them. Lepards ate my face where basically the premise is like, oh, I didn't think the leopards are going to eat my face.

Right. I wanted the leopards to eat Mexican's faces. Everybody else's fight. Yeah, right, right, right. I can't believe the leopard ate my face. point is like leopards eat faces. That's what they do. That's what they do. Right. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

But it's like people have to pay more for their health care and now they're pissed when and like tweeting at Donald Trump like I didn't vote for you to have to pay more for my health care. Yeah. Well, you don't hit for him. That's how that goes. Yeah, right. So yeah, that's the idea.

That's all that whole man, not fuck him. I don't really ever want to talk about him unless he like dies. But like that whole notion it's always cracked me up so much. Like, I've got buddies. I've got buddies who, like, make a good living. Like, they really do. But they can't conceive the fact that, like,

they are, they have more in common with a homeless person than they do somebody like Trump. Like, they really think that they're... They're way closer. They really think that their $75,000 a year is like almost Trump. You know what I mean? Like, like, they're, like, we're both, white men that do well. It's like, dog, he thinks that you are trash.

Utter trash. You are, like, worthless trash. Dude, my house, my house is fucking awesome. It really is. I make a good living. Like, you know, I got a nice computer. I'm trash to this motherfucker and to motherfuckers like him. Like, I don't know how you don't see that. Even the way you're, and I know the point you're making, but like, I have a nice house and I have a nice computer. He don't, he has no idea. What he owns other than Marlago, which has a title. A computer?

He's never used one. Yeah, what? That's a box. That's somebody else does. Yeah, exactly. Like, I drive my own car. That's trash. Like, if you, you can have the nicest car in the world, but if you drive it, you are trash.

Or if you own it, your business owner, if you're going to him. Yeah. What was that way? What was that way was told by that old hitter? Like, if you, if you, let's say. Drive your Aston Martin, you can't afford. You can't afford your ass to Martin. Yeah, exactly.

That's some gangster shit. But like that's true, you know what I mean? Like, that's just so crazy. I would like Jerry Seinfeld's take on that. To do, but still, you know, you ought to have the option of, Jeeves. Yeah. Take me places. So, listen, guys, obviously the pandemic has really challenged everyone's mental health, you know.

Some of us, like me, are juggling child care with working full time in our home. Don't hit. We are fighting more with our partners than usual. And on top of that, many of us, like me, are encountering unexpected job changes and challenges. It's a lot to handle under normal circumstances, but it's especially grueling during a pandemic.

It makes you feel like you're a part of the show. I've been enjoying it just because it's a completely different thing. And it feels like it, you know, I know that we've always had our well-read podcast family.

We do feel very close to our fans because y'all are so great at commenting and leaving nice reviews of things. But this has been like a completely different thing. And it makes me feel like y'all are more part of the show than we are. So yeah, it's really cool. The stereo app has been wonderful. Join us on Fridays, guys. And if you down, like we said, if we download the app, you can get on there and listen to our old shows. I don't delete them.

We do. And there's a cartoon of our heads. It's neat. Thank you, stereo. I fix my cartoon. We don't look the same anymore, Shrey. Okay, cool. On stereo, you mean?

I fixed mine and I'm not a Latin. Persian. I'm not a Latin lover on there anymore. Made myself white, which I am. I somehow made myself olive skinned to begin with. So I apologize for that. And then let it ride for like three weeks too. It would have for me to see you do something Persian.

There's no way for me to like walk that out without sounding very inappropriate. I don't think. But I really want to hear you saying in one of them, La La La Laas. What, like a, what do you mean? You know, a Latin music. You know what I mean? The Latin music, when, I mean, somebody had a meme about it recently.

Like every time a show set anywhere near the Middle East happens, when the scene starts, they start playing them, you know, and then you hear the. Yeah, them wild, like sitars and all that stuff. And then there's all, it's all, usually a woman, though. My dad always called that woman the warbler. Yeah, yeah, the warbler. You know, like. Yeah, do it again.

Yeah. I don't, y'all know we're talking about. If a Fast and Furious movie, they change locations to, yeah, somewhere in the middle east, somewhere with a bunch of sand,

the soundtrack is going to do the same thing every time. It's going to be, you know. Every time. Any studio. I'm sure. I'm sure y'all do because I'm sure I brought this up drunk a million times,

but do you all know the very first number one hit song with a sitar in it? I know you've told me this, but I guess I've been drunk every time too. Is it? I can't remember it. Is it a comedy thing? No, no.

No, it was a legit, legit song from a legit rock band. I guess the Beatles. I don't know. The Beatles did it song. Don't come around here no more by Tom Petty. And the whole deal was the song, don't come around here no more,

was him talking to record executives because they didn't hit for him. And he thought, I'm gonna put a fucking sitar in the song, man. He was like thinking it wouldn't hit for people. and it went number one because even when he tries not to hit he accidentally hit yeah that's like a whole thing with him isn't it it's like he begrudgingly wrote a new song for the greatest hits album it was last dance

of mary jane and it ended up being last dance of mary jane yeah his whole thing was he just didn't even want to do that he was like fine fuck i'll do something yeah i'm contractually obligated to do it and it's just one of the seminal rock records of that yeah the whole thing was it their greatest like contractually they had to have another album come out and he's like i don't fucking have nothing they were like, we'll just do the greatest hits. And he was so very against greatest hits because he thought it was cheap. But they finally were like, they basically told him the number. They were like, look, you'll probably make this.

And it's on stuff you've already done. And, you know, when you show somebody a thing, they're like, well, okay. But they're like, but you have to write a new song for it. And he's like, what the fuck does that even mean? Like, you have to make a new song for the greatest hits. And he was like, how can I make a greatest hit if I haven't already put it out? And yeah, he went. He went, arguably his greatest hit.

Arguably his greatest hit, which his drummer at the time quit over because he said, this is bullshit. I don't like the direction this band's going in. Classic drummer. Classic drummer. Did the drummer end up okay? Yeah, oh, yeah, he's fine. Yeah, he's fine.

I mean, not like Tom Petty okay, but, you know, he's fine. Right. He is still alive, yeah. I don't feel you anymore. Yeah, but, dude, Tom Petty got to, think of all the stuff Tom Petty hasn't had to see. he had a good run dude now that song's very repetitive you know i've given up stop i've given up on waiting any longer i've given up on this love getting stronger i don't feel you anymore you dark at my door whatever you're looking for it don't come around here anymore and then the rest

of it is just repeats but that's pretty funny that that is dedicated to the not hitters of the record industry yeah and then he made him a billion dollars on it yeah he got some of it of course he did something that I've been reminded, something that popped up in my head recently I thought about bringing up on here. We might have talked, I know we've talked to Offmark about this before for sure. And we may have mentioned it on here,

but if we did it was a really long time ago. And also, disclaimer, I'm not in support of what I'm about to bring up at all. Anti-Semitism? We're all from similar places. We're all from similar towns. And like,

y'all ever just think about the fact that, like, one of the primary forms of entertainment, for young people where we grew up was literally just driving drunk. Yeah, yeah. That's the whole thing. That's all it was. Yeah. You know, riding back roads is what it was called.

Of course. That's just driving drunk. I don't know if they still, if the kids still do that. I hope they don't. Obviously, terrible, not advocating for it. Very stupid, but like it was such. That's just what.

I genuinely, I think the kids these days are genuinely better than we were. I think so, too. And I always at least try to go out of my way to say that because I can't stand when people just do the cliche opposite. Like, all these kids these days are fucking put. Like, I talk to a lot of wrestlers. And a lot of them, you'll hear these old school wrestlers like, because nowadays wrestlers, they tend to hang out with each other and play video games. And like when they're traveling together, they all live clean and stuff like that because they watched their heroes all.

die and they heard all these horrible stories and instead of the way a chris farley looked at belushi and went well i'll just do exactly that they've gone no i i would like to live till i'm 80 something thank you very much so i'm not going to do this and i genuinely think that like there's a little bit of that to the kids in my hometown who like saw me and mine grow up and have also watched a lot of I mean, frankly, a lot of their parents bury them, you know. Because that comes in cycles because I've noticed that with like, well, I'll just go ahead and say it with meth. Yeah. Meth will go away because of the past generation and then come back.

And then like, you know, in terms of the kids nowadays, I don't know if you guys heard me trying to wrangle my niece and nephew, but Jake was about to shoot his pistol. He is about to go shoot his pistol. So it's like they're still being red, but hopefully, you know, not. not as dangerous because we lost one. Rest in peace, Mikey. Mikey was a really good kid. He was the funniest kid.

He was the JV quarterback when I was the quarterback on the varsity. And he would hit on my girlfriend in front of me every day after lunch. The freshman would be done before us and waiting in the gym as we would come up. And I would walk by. And he would be like, Kaelin, Kailen, come sit by me. Kailen, come sit by me. And just laugh. And that's what they was doing as being old boys on back roads.

And frankly, there's part of me that, like I've always kind of been conflicted. and I still am really, but like, so there's part of it's like if you make all drugs legal, then nobody will, you know, the kids won't want to do them as much or maybe they'll have more respect for them because it's not a thing they're having to sneak around. And if you make them all legal, they definitely won't be buying stepped on bullshit because why would they when they could just go to Walgreens and get a bag of Coke, you know? But then at the same time, I have, like the opioid crisis is definitely still horrible. for people my age, I guess, who were already hooked,

but I hear way less of the new crop of kids being on pills ever since they schedule one, oxy and perkinsets and stuff. So there's part of me that kind of, at least anecdotally, in my town believes, like, well, it was a good thing that they made them harder to get. You know what I'm saying? But then people die in heroin, so I don't fucking know. I just say everyone's on heroin around here.

I think it's having the same cycle that meth had, though. I mean, dude, I'm around here. more often this year especially than I have been and I'm more I'm talking more to my nephews you're getting older and my mom and honestly dude you go to the ball games all these kids parents are there right I think they're not on them at least not at a young age because they don't want to be like their parents right yeah um sometimes it goes that way I know you can go uh you know it can go both ways or whatever for sure um and I know this is a extreme opinion even amongst liberals or whatever.

It's more libertarian, I guess. But I do think that I think that pretty much all drugs should be some type of legal. I mean, I kind of do too. Like, just treat it like, treated like alcohol and tobacco and stuff like that. I don't mean just make it legal and put it in fucking candy shops.

No, I, yeah, I know. But I think that the benefits would outweigh the cost. I think the benefits would outweigh the cost. I agree. There's been plenty of places where there have been like pilot studies where they put that essentially. And it's health. Well, I mean, it would...

You can also use the revenue in taxes. Of course. You can also use the revenue in taxes to create better care for people who want to get off of. Right. And then it's not our, you know, talk about libertarians. It's not our taxes paying for it. It's the users of those things taxes paying for it. Right.

Well, what do you, how do you feel about like, because I see, I tend to agree with that too. Because in my mind, I'm like, look, people that are going to want to, to do them, we're going to want to do them anyways. And if, hell, if I can guarantee that this shit ain't stepped on with fentanyl, there's going to be less deaths on that front. Also, there's going to be less gang-related violence. Right. Yep. Now, granted, all that drug war shit would be taken care of if it was just all the drug. It is. It is. Now, there's a couple things that obviously it's a nuanced thing. We're like, you know, dude, some people literally need to sell drugs to feed their family. What are they going to do? But then I'm like, all right,

well, use the taxes from these drugs to set up programs that directly benefit people who were victimized by the war on drugs and stuff like that. I know there's a lot of red tape with that too. Then I also look at it and go, well, a lot of people are making that same argument about guns. Like, hell, people are going to get them anyways. We may as well make them widely available so that all the good people get them. You know what I'm saying? But then I'm like, then I go back to my argument. Go ahead. Well, like, you know, and I know, they are different. You can't kill somebody because you're doing an arrow. But my thing is like, I mean, I kind of feel the same way about guns.

Honestly, well, first of all, I feel like guns. That's pretty much how they work right now. And I think they should be more regulated than they are. They should be more regulated just like hardcore drugs should be if they were legal. But I think that I, you know, I'm not for like outlawed taking people's guns or outlawed. I'm not either. Yeah, I know. I know none of us are.

But like, I think that it's like you just, but there's things we can. could do to make it harder for people that shouldn't have a gun to get it. And that's just, all that is is regulation. And I'm saying, I want guns to be more regulated. And I think drugs should be legal and heavily regulated. So I think, you know, I'm, yeah, I think it's relatively consistent. Like Drew, like, Drew said, though, the main, and Drew's very right on this, the main difference is like, unless you're driving, then like me doing heroin ain't going to kill you. You know what I mean? But like, yeah. I don't know. I don't know, dude. Like, there's, there's obviously everybody just always uses the word guns.

just like they use the word drugs, neither one of those mean just one specific thing. You know what I'm saying? A shotgun and a fucking AR-15, don't put those motherfuckers together when you're trying to make an argument because they're very different goddamn things. Like, I don't think that my papal

should have to go through the same exact process that somebody wants to go through to get, you know, something that fucking unloads 60 rounds in five seconds or some shit like that. Am I wrong? Yeah, and I'm not sure, you know, if fentanyl should be on the same aisle as, you know what I mean?

Yeah, it didn't wait or different. It's like a legal utopia. Yeah. Well, right, exactly. I'm not saying that either. Don't just put it in an aisle in a CVS. It would be more complicated than that, but still you could, you know,

if you go through all the steps, everything, you could get it. I mean, because of meth and shit, they do that with Sudafed now in a lot of places, you know, where like you can't just go in and buy it. You got to go up there and put your name on a list and show your driver's license or whatever. And then they'll give it to you. Like there's plenty of shit you could do. Yeah, I'm not saying just, yeah, put a meth aisle and Walmart or whatever at all.

But I used to work for this guy name. Go ahead. Hello? Yeah, I can go ahead. Sorry. You can't. Can you not hear me? Can you hear me?

Okay, I can. I can hear you. I'm sorry. That's my bad. I think I cut out. So you worked for a feller named and then you cut out. Oh, I thought y'all couldn't hear me because I could. I'm sorry.

All right. I'm sorry. I worked for a feller named Butch. I worked building concrete water tanks for a summer trying to save up to buy Andy a ring. Put that in the country song. Joe Diffy, rest of the piece. And he used to say he had a lot of wild opinions. He was the only guy I met like Trace Papal who didn't like music.

But he would say, I think they are to legalize them all. Put them all in the field and let all them junkies go down there. and do them till they die. That's what I think they ought to do. I mean, you know, there's that argument too. Yeah, for sure. I mean, a version of that has been part of the argument in these places where they have like zones

where everything is legal. Hell, that was a plot point in the wire, you know. But they've done things like places like Toronto or in Europe in certain places where they have like areas where you can go and part of the argument is like, hey, all the junkies and shit will be in this one area. They won't be in your neighborhood or whatever. So you can appeal to the suburbs with that type of argument too.

I think there's a lot of arguments you can make for it. But I realize it's a real sticky situation. Well, it's one of those situations, though, we're like, it's why we never get anywhere with it is because there's a great deal of people. I won't say what party they belong to who like, when you propose something, they'll go, yeah, but we'd have to like do stuff. and that don't hit. So since we don't have a perfect answer right now,

we won't even take the steps to try to find one. You know what I'm saying? Like, you bring something up and they go, gun control. Yeah, they go, you bring something up and they go, well, if you do that, then this. And you go, okay, well, let's talk about that. No, we've already found the thread in the sweater.

And we're going to pull the whole goddamn thing apart if we talk about it. So just leave it like it is as shit as it is. And like, I don't know, man. Like, I guess maybe if you had told me, if you had told me 10 years ago, weed would be legal now, I think I might have believed you. It would be hard. It's harder to wrap my head around. Like, I just can't imagine.

Like, I guess the world's taking enough of a dump on our faces. Like, I can't put myself in the place of I can go get a sack of real fire cocaine before I go to the beach next week. No. Again, I think, yeah, don't get me right. Is that what hit? I'm for it as a concept. But no, no fucking way is that ever happening. in this country.

It's not happening. And also to paraphrase, Corey, to really break down what he just said. What he said basically was, I'm for it, but I would die a month too. Well, I don't know, man.

Like, if it was good Coke, no, I'd die. I mean, well, well, the thing is, though,

it's not like I can't get Coke now if I wanted to. It just don't hit. Good, good. No, you're right. Therefore, I don't.

So there's something to be said about if it's not good. It's saved my life. not being good. Yeah, I guess you're right. I don't know. Well, just, if we, if we could just, so has Oregon completely legalized psilocybin? Oh, I don't know.

I thought it was just Portland. Just Portland. They need criminalized. It's just Denver. It's legal in Portland. It's just Denver. It might be all of Oregon. I don't know.

Yeah. If we could just do that, that and weed federally, like everybody, I think that'd be a fine enough start. and I could ride that one out. I would add all natural hallucinons. Yeah. Like what, like what else? Like pey and shit? Yeah.

Yeah, why not? Oh, awesca. Okay. Yeah, sure. Hell. Say stuff, you know.

Say stuff. Let them dance. Let them dance. But dancing is fine. Yeah. Yeah, I've never, I've never fucked with any of those.

And I don't plan to because I'm scared of my own brain. but I, you know, but I got no... You fuck with mushrooms, though, right? Yeah, yes, mushrooms, but they're the only ones. Right. All the other ones, you know, like, all the other hallucinogens, LSD and DMT. Oh, I'm terrified of DMT. Well, let's, hold on, let's separate LSD from the other ones because it's not...

Yeah, because that's synthesized. Right, and I would say that, you know, I'm not put... I'm like a pushing on your tray because I'm too over that and I don't care. Plus, I don't want to share mine. They're expensive. But, like, my experience with DMD and Paoti specifically, it's not even as... intense as much. Well, if you smoke the MT, it's intense for a minute. Yeah, okay.

I was about I say, how can you say that when like, ain't it literally lizard stuff? Killing your ego. Yeah. That's what much thing. Killing your sense of self and just be able to float into the universe for about 15 minutes. Don't hit.

If you do a lot, but I mean, that's what happens. My sense of self is the thing I like the most, most of the time. Also, for the record, little sibilin turns into syllable, you know,

I don't know. I'm bad with the words, but at the end of the day, when it gets to your brain, that's all mushrooms are. It's four DMT instead of five. Okay. Yeah. Right. Yeah, mushrooms. Have we ever told the story on here when we was all on mushrooms at San Francisco?

I don't think so. We were in. Please tell it. I always remember about that. We were in, first of all, it took us. We had been like, we had said. Wait, did we do mushrooms and then had a show that night we were supposed to do? Yeah.

Yeah. Mushrooms way earlier in the day. We're so stupid. I got that video of us dancing in that shower. Naked, butt naked. The Titans whipped the Seahawks asses. That hit. And then we're, that game went off, and it was an early game, and we're in Pacific time.

So it's like 12, 30 or 1. Yeah. And we were like, we're in San Francisco. We're like, let's go hit. Let's go do stuff. Yeah. Show's not for 67 hours. And it took at least two and a half out.

We kept going back and forth to everybody's different rooms and doing different shit. For God knows, what reason getting sidetracked with songs it was hitting or whatever and then at one point we were we just got sidetracked by the winder just the window being open not the glass wasn't open but the blinds were open and just looking out on the street yeah all three just standing there just looking out of the window and we're like three floors up so we're looking down at the street and across the street at a bus stop was a middle like a 40-something-ish Asian man with dark black hair, dark black sunglasses, and like a big black coat on, and he was chubby.

He looked like he was from The Matrix. Cho said, Chow goes, hey, check out Kim Jong-un over there, boys. And he pointed at him, and we looked. He did look. I know that might sound a little racist. He literally exactly like Kim Jong-un. Yeah, if he was in the Matrix. And Corey's like, check out Kim Jong-un over there, boys.

And he's standing at that bus stop, not moving, just like a statue, staring across the street. says that we all three then look at the guy and when we look at him he just cranes his head straight up he just looks straight up to where he's staring right into the window where we were at and buddy when i say i lost my fucking mind i grabbed i grabbed the blinds and threw him shut and i was like that don't that did not hit that does not hit it freaked me fuck out yeah yeah it still does thinking about it but luckily we rallied and we had a good time Dude, you remember that time? I found it.

I'm sending to y'all right now. You remember, you remember that time that we accidentally took like 70 milligrams of weed, which, by the way, I know there's people listening like, what? That ain't shit. You're a lunatic.

Seek psychiatric help. There's something wrong with your brain. Yeah, Portland. And we got on the elevator of us cookies. Yeah. She accidentally, and it wasn't accident, I believe, told us the wrong number that was in the cookies.

So we took away more than when we did it. I think she gave us hers instead of ours. probably. This was after the show. You remember when we got on the elevator and the elevator wouldn't move? It stopped. And we was on there for like 10 fucking minutes

and we were freaking out and it turned out that we just hadn't pushed a button. I hadn't pushed the wrong button. Yeah, just standing there. Yeah. Yeah, but then we went back up to the room and put on Rory Scoble's stand-up special and like tickled each other and stuff

and it was. And it did hit. That's a good thing about weed. The worst case scenario was we just needed to tickle each other and watch a stand-up special when everything was okay. Right.

Yeah. It's when we're alone on weed and the void starts to creep in that it's hard to, it's hard to fucking pull out of that nose dive for me. It's impossible almost. Yeah, right. I just have to go to sleep. Story.

I can't. Yes, Drew. Did you give us all screen share permissions? Should. All right. Let me, let me, uh, let me try this, all right? Yeah. I'm going to try to,

because Trey, you purposely didn't put any nudity. on it because as you'll see here in the video you have plans. I'm on my phone so might take, yep, three, two, one, give me a countdown. Here we go. Yeah. Oh, no. So we are naked, right?

And I think you got to sound. I think you got to sell. You want to get that? You want to get that? No, no. Because this is going out to the world. I did post that. I did post it.

I did post it. I know I did. I asked if I was naked, and as soon as I asked that question, I heard you slapping my bare ass. I think what happened was me and Tray were there jamming with that song, and you'd gotten in the shower, and you maybe said,

I want to hear that or turned it up, and we just ran into that. Another thing y'all did that almost worked, to perfection, but thankfully for me, did not, was, I don't remember the exact details, but y'all had room, and for some reason you had to change rooms, and you purposefully didn't tell me that you had changed rooms, and you left the door, like, kind of open or whatever. So I, like, walked into the wrong room right when the new people who were getting into that room, like, showed up and came in there, like, two random ladies, and, you know, I was freaked out,

but not that bad in, anyway. that was the thing y'all attempted to do to me that almost I would say that was mostly Drew because he's the trickster yeah well on that note I got I gotta go fellas yeah have a family mess have fun yeah enjoy yourself in Tennessee yeah I'm gonna get that shot Thursday yeah hits I'm gonna I'm getting mine a Wednesday there you go but Amber's getting hers as we speak who knows yeah Trey I can't call it with L son. That's a big part of why I came here. Yeah, it's going to a long time, I know. But I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to Salina for that. I mean, I would love to get it, but it, you know, Katie. Well, I'll die first,

Trey Crowder. It's all the other factors involved that would necessitate me doing that. You lost all that weight. You're not bad enough to get on that early. Yeah. So I got a way to go. Lucky me. All right. Well, see y'all.

All right, y'all. Oh, wait. Well, you go ahead, Drew. Go ahead, Drew. Bye. Stereo, a reminder on Friday, Friday at 12 Pacific 3 Eastern. Find us on the stereo app for free. Look up Corey R. Forrester or Trey Crowder or Drew Morgan or all of the above. Follow us on there and join us on Friday and send us a little voice clip and some messages and we'll play them and it'll be fun and all that good stuff. So, yeah.

It will be fun. Is it going to be me and you this week? I think so. I think it is. Honestly, it kind of has to be because we both kind of fucked around and missed last Friday. If y'all listen to So Stereo, you know that. So sorry about that. But yeah, this Friday, it'll be me in the show.

So see us there. And we love you all. And thank you all for listening to the well-read 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 skew. Good night and skew.
