Episode Date: July 21, 2021

this week the boys wax nostalgic about life on the road, old Looney Tunes cartoons, and Trae fears his kids may not enjoy the movies that he loves! Wellredcomedy.com to come see us on the road!

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 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 friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money. What was that a reply gift for?

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

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

They're the liberal rednecks. They're the liberal rednecks day like cornbread but six. They're on tour and you should go see them tour. They're coming to Birmingham, Alabama.

this coming weekend and all of these other places too. Skew. Uh, yeah. Yeah, here we are. Cut that promo, Joe. Yeah, we are here. We are here and you know where we're going to be this weekend, Friday and Saturday, July 23rd and 24th, we're going to be in Birmingham, Alabama at the Stardom,

one of the, if not the, greatest comedy clubs in the country. And we're super pumped. You can get the tickets at well-read comedy.com. Not individually, but together, this is the first shows back for the well-red crew. And I myself am just,

I'm pumped beyond all measure. I'm anxious. I'm excited. I'm scared. But in a good way, how are you feeling? Yeah, mostly the same way.

Drew, yeah, Drew's been out there beating the road up doing shows. So he's like, he's way more prepped. Cho, have you been other than the goddamn MTV movie awards? Have you been on stage at all? Not a one time. I mean, I've done stand up Zoom-wise, but no, not.

But no, not aside from the goddamn MTV Movie Awards. I have not. I kept, it's been one of them things where I'm like, okay. And first off, you know, I live in chat. in like Chattanooga, Tennessee. I don't live in L.A., New York, where it's like, oh, I'll just go to such and such. It's like every single time

I was like, okay, this week I'm going to get up, we would have some sort of meeting because, you know, the pandemic wasn't 100% bad to us. We've had a lot of projects going on. And frankly, I just let it get beside me. Then I thought, you know what? Fuck it. Let's let the adrenaline take over. Let's go

back out and let Birmingham, Alabama slap you in the face with the dick of justice. You know what I mean? The dick of comedy justice. Comedy Dick Justice. I've done exactly one show. I do live in L.A., but just so you know, it's hard to get these people to fuck with you.

And I don't even mean the audience. I mean, the people that book the shows and stuff. So it's not as simple as just walking out the door and going to a place, or at least in my experience, it isn't. So I got one show out here that I did. I did 10 minutes, and it actually went great. which pumped me up, but that's the only time

I've been on stage in 18 months. Like you said, we did computer shows. Computer shows is different. The only time I've been on a stage in front of actual people was one time like three weeks ago, and other than that, it'll be this weekend in Birmingham.

Hope that don't scare people. Should excite you. It excites us. We'll see what happened. Yeah, come see how it goes. It's going to be wild. I was about to say, I could understand,

as you said that, why that would make some people be like fucking really but to me it's exciting you know it's uh it's super exciting i'm gonna shake uh because dude here's here's how i operate the rust will be shaking off the second i open my mouth to say one thing and get a laugh uh that's how that's how i roll some people can just play you know what i'm saying i just almost dumped my entire coffee on my keyboard that would have hit so hard if you had done that some people just got it like that and fucking just spill coffee all over yourself while you're doing it. That would hit real hard.

It reminds me, this just popped into my head, this memory. One time we were all, this was early on in the tour. It's been years ago now. It's probably 2016. I know what you're about to say. We're at some airport. And I don't know why. I don't know why I even put up with this.

But somehow I was carrying, I was the one who was going to carry the big ass bag of merch, the gigantic duffel bag of merch. I think because you and Drew already had like luggage shit, your own big ass luggage things, like rollerboards and stuff. So we're waiting at the base thing. I love that, I was like the only reason that I've been doing that.

I never should have been doing that. Y'all were already walking around. It's unreal that I was doing this. Unreal that I was doing this. But so we're standing there by the, the baggots claim, and your roller board had already come out showing. So you got it,

you've got it sitting there beside you. And you're waiting on me. And this big fucking duffel bag comes around and I grab it and like lug it over my shoulder and it's awkward and huge and it clearly don't hit and you looked at me and you went you go you go hmm looks like that don't hit click click and you slid up the rollerboard thing and just scoot it off on the wheels out the door and on your way out the airport door your wheels got stuck on the metal divider at the bottom and it flipped over and You had a bag on top of that that was unzipped and it just all spilled out in front of the airport with all these people there milling about your shit spilled out everywhere.

And it was one of the more satisfying experiences I've had in an airport. I haven't thought. Given the timing of it. It's so funny how memories work. I haven't thought about that really since it happened. But I can tell like that that's something that whatever a spank bank is for Schadenfreude. Yeah. Dude, it was perfect.

Hank, bank, I don't know. Looks like that don't hit. Click, click. Then fucking immediately. Just spilled it everywhere. That exact thing happened to me so much, like instant karma, like the world. Like, because I'm such a fucking cocky little shit. Like, I'll admit it.

But like, like that whole, you know, some people just got it. It spills all over my keyboard. That, it almost makes me believe in some sort of like, I mean, some type of. God. I have a memory for my childhood. Of course, I was a fat, awkward dork, and that's obviously part of it. And also, this one annoys me, because it's like, God damn it. I still feel like I was correct. But one time when that happened to me, I was with some friends in a fucking Walmart. We were like 13 or something like that. And some, I don't remember what brought it up, but some we're on the subject of like being superstitious. And of course, me, the smart kid, the godless

smart kid. I was like, dude, superstitious. fucking ridiculous. There ain't, that's stupid. There ain't nothing to do none of that shit. And I swear to God, y'all, God, this is going to hit for y'all. I don't think I've ever told you all this. There was this big, like maintenance ladder sitting there, like a two-sided ladder, you know, like an a frame type situation. Yeah, big, ass tall ladders sitting there in the aisle we were in.

And me, my buddies were talking about superstition. And I was like, that's fucking stupid. There's no such thing as that that shit doesn't exist. And I said, look, I literally said, look, watch this. Because, you know, it's supposed to be bad luck to walk under a ladder. I said, look, watch this. And I went through the underside of the ladder. And there was a crossbar running along the bottom that I didn't see.

And I tripped over it and face planted and slapped my fat, stupid face off the fucking aisle of the Walmart floor right after calling them all dip shits for believing in superiors. superstition and saying, look, watch this. And that's the type of thing that sticks with you there. I think I'll be 80 years old, wake up in the middle of the night and have to pee. And that memory will just pop into my head of me doing that. Oh, I'm certain. One that pops into my head for me is actually, honestly, a little bit more raven and nuance. And it pertains to the tour.

It's when, and when I say that the tour has just started, I don't even know if we had done like a full week's worth of shows. And I damn sure know that you was still living in Oak Ridge because we were at your house. And I got a phone call. I was in your house. Yeah, I remember this. I got a phone call. And I looked down.

It was a Chattanooga number. So I was like, oh, I'll pick it up. And I answered it and I said, hey, Mr. Forster, this is the Chattanooga Times free press. And I go, I go, oh, shit. It's the paper calling for you. wanting an interview or something like that. Y'all, hold on. I was trying to be all cool. And I get back on. I was like, yeah, this is Corey. And they're like, uh, we noticed that you don't have a subscription to the, uh, Chattanooga.

It was a remiss, which, you know, I was just like, God damn it. I think I about through my phone through your wall. No, you did. I remember from our perspective, like you said, you, your phone rang, you answered it. You put your hand over it. Looked at us. You said, hey, it's the Chattanooga Times Free Press. I need to take this. And you, you like stepped, you know, you step sort of kind of out, like in a sitcom where it's like, can I talk to you over here for a second where we clearly can still all hear you, you know,

but you stepped a few steps over. And you were like, yeah, yeah, this is Corey Forrester. And from my perspective, you just went, God damn it.

We asked you what happened and you told us. And yeah, that's pretty good. That was some Michael Scott shit. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh,

for sure. That was some Michael Scott shit. And, but those are just the, you know what? I'm looking forward to making new memories of me not hitting on the road. So go to well-read comedy.com, w-E-L-L-R-E-D, Comedy.com. If you're joining us here on YouTube, you will see it going down here on the ticker the entire time. That's where you can go for tickets. Like I said, we're going to be in Birmingham, Alabama this weekend.

I can't wait. We're making our triumphant return to Denver. I'll be back in Atlanta. One show's already sold out, so grab them tickets because of the second show, I mean, I assume it'll sell out. You know, we haven't in Atlanta a while and we hit there. And we, we, I'm excited. So, well, what's going on in y'all's lives? Drew, you look like you're in a car.

I am. I've been at the family cabin all weekend. It's in the middle of nowhere and there's no Wi-Fi. So a story like that kind of happened. Are you on data right now? Yeah. Because you look fucking great. Yeah, you do it, right.

On my end anyway, which is wild to me. Stream yard and an iPhone 12. That's all you need. Kids, if you're thinking about getting into the podcasting game, there's never been a better time. The last show I did, I had, well, it's kind of a story of the way you guys are just telling it in terms of the Shosh and Fraud.

I don't know how to talk. Shod and Freud. Shosh. fraud. I like that. It wasn't quite as direct as y'all's stories and it wasn't quite as bad. But we were outside smoking and people

had been already gone up and they were doing well and I was going last and this kid was like, man, I'm nervous or whatever, whatever. This was here in Nashville and I said, yeah, well, your boy is about to set this motherfucking room

on fire and around that corner around that time, Theo Bonn, round at the corner, literally wearing the same outfit as me. And the host immediately looked at me and goes, hey, you got to follow Theo, by the way. And I mean, I ended up doing fine. I took my hat off even though my hair was looking bad because I'm telling y'all we had the same fucking outfit on and ended up doing okay opening, talking about how I was poor Theo Vaughn and about how my friend was like, do my show. It must be hard doing shows in L.A.

You know, following famous people. Come do my show. And he made me go last on a real long show when Theo surprised the crowd. So the crowd was like, oh, my God. Theo Vaughn's here in this fucking basement? It's Theo Vaughn. It seems like the end of it, obviously. Everybody's like to pretend.

He does 20. And then the judge gets back over there and was like, all right, we got one more. And literally, I know that seems like the end. but it's actually not. We got one more guy for you. Yeah, that reminds me. Are you guys ready for not Theo Vaughn? Dude, that reminds me of a very raven thing that happened to me in Nashville

where I was doing a show for CMT, like not a showcase, like actually televised like show. And they, of course this, not CMT, the Grand Ole Opry Network circle. And so I'd gone through like, the, I'm really not even audition process, but like, okay, here's the material I'm going to do. And then they go through the whole thing of like, well, you can't do this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, you know, all that shit. And so I finally got it.

We're like, okay, I got to edit it. It's my, and it's my Civil War bit. At the time, I was like, this is my best bit. I can clean it up. They're like, don't do any politics. And I'm like, well, all right, I'll just tell you how the Civil War went and you all can just decide. And so, you know, I've got this whole thing down. and when you're doing this show, all you can do, you have five minutes,

and so you can only do the material that they have approved for you to do. There's no room to pivot, no matter what happens. And I'm there, and I've got it polished in my head. I'm like, okay, say this instead of this. It can't be dirty, da, da, da, da, da, da. And they came up to me, and they're like, hey, would you mind if before you went, if John Christ popped in and did a guest set? And I was like, absolutely not.

That'll be awesome. John Chris is a great comedian. I'll go up to a guaranteed hot crowd. John Chris went up and did this new joke he was working on all about the Civil War and Civil War re-enactments and shit like that. And again, mine's different, but like it, I mean... And you couldn't pivot at that point. You couldn't pivot at all.

And couldn't even bring up to the crowd. Hey, I know this is kind of like, I couldn't do none of that shit. Like, none of it just had to go up and do the same shit. Yeah, it was fussing. How did that go? Not well. And you know that bit. And you know that bit does well.

Like that bit does well. Now granted. But it seems to all the people in the crowd, like to them, it's like, does he not know that? Yes. Does he not know that we just saw a guy

fucking talk about all this for 10 minutes or whatever? But like you said, I've been like, I'm about to do this. Y'all can edit out the first 30 seconds. I'm at the very least I'm going to tell these motherfuckers. I'm not an idiot. It's so,

it hits for me because I had to, opposite on that same showcase a week later where I burned a fucking stage down. It was literally the best showcase that I've ever had. And the guy after me also wanted to talk about, it wasn't hipsters. What else did I talk about? Oh, I had that story about kissing the guy at the honky talk. He didn't have a, he had a story about being black at a honky talk. It's different, but it was like.

Yeah, yeah. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. But no, dude, it fucking, like. Like, it was such a bummer, man. Like, it was just a huge, huge, huge, huge bummer. But no, I didn't say anything. But I will tell you this, when I found out when the show was going to be on and when they sent me to clip, I mean, I feel like a dickhead now, but I didn't promote that shit.

I didn't tell nobody. You know what I mean? Like, I didn't just, I was just like, please. Did they do anything to it at all? Like, I've heard that, like, I've heard stories before of like. They did some weird edits. Yeah. Yeah.

I meant like I've heard, God damn it. Who was? I feel like there's a famous example. It's Hebbler. I was thinking it was thinking it was Mitch Hebbard. When they added the crowd in. Yeah,

of like Hebberg bombed in real life. In his special. Yeah. In the taping. But they, you know, put in fucking, uh,

um, laughter and shit when it is funny. In the show. And then it's like legendary now. Like it's real hard for people after the fact. So I thought that they would, well, some people would,

will help you out in that way or something. For the record, no, when I watch it, for the record, when I say I bombed, it wasn't like, it wasn't zero laughs.

I think it was really like what I expected because of that bit, it being so polished and how it always smashes. Like, when I watched it back, now, help, maybe they did add some crowd noise to it. And in my mind,

I was like, oh, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was. And like, they tricked me. If so, good on them. But man,

I just remember just being, just being so goddamn def. And again, nobody did anything wrong. I mean, I guess in hindsight, John should have been like, hey, buddy, you're not doing anything about the Civil War, are you? You know, but I don't know.

I didn't, you know, I wouldn't expect it. I mean, I've never, I don't think I've ever done that to some, you know, when you got like showcase shows or whatever. I've never asked the people going on. And matter of fact, that happened with me and Stuart Huff once, except it wasn't a taping. And I went before Stewart. Yeah.

And we both had bits about the, the, the overlap between dumbass rednecks and Muslim terrorists or whatever. We both had bits about that. And Stuart was after, Stuart was headlining. And I was before him. And I didn't,

you know, I didn't talk to him or anything about it. I just went up there and did it. And it smashed. And then he just went up there. And he was like, well, uh,

he was, he was like, Tray, we're going to overlap a little bit. I don't know any way around it. Uh, anyway. And he just,

you know, kind of got into it. And it went, fine but also I hope this works I want to show this to the camera I have no idea why Katie my wife just texted me this but she just texted me this picture free of

context hope y'all can see it look at this god dare you all say that is that dough boy playing with my bald head yes that is my son Benton he looks so young tapping on Corey's very bald head while Corey looks at his phone

man I can't show you on my phone because I'm using my phone, but I've also got a video of him slapping my round belly. He used to like to beat on round stuff. Yeah, he does. He does do that. I've got to, speaking of that type of humor from the mouths of babes.

I got a text yesterday that was a screenshot of a Snapchat group chat. That was a lot that I just said. And it was Amber's in-laws. and one of them, Kyla, who is my niece's grandma. She's the first grandma ever named Kyla, ever. I looked it up, Grandma Kyla, she's the first one. And she had sent a message to everybody that said,

I was just scrolling through Instagram, and I came upon a picture of Corey and Sadie, my four-year-old niece, grabbed the phone and said, that's my Uncle Corey. He's bald. And for the record, in this picture, I very much had my hat on. She just had to let everybody know, like, he's living a lie on his gram. You know what I mean? He's very bald. He normally doesn't hit, but that's like a thing for her now. She, every time she sees me, I think it's a thing. I think it's a thing for, it seems like it's a thing for just children in general.

It's like bald is noteworthy to them. Yeah, it is. And also kids don't know about social propriety. Yeah. Right. So like when that, because my kids have done that to you a million times. millions. Corey's bald. You know, because it's like, when they find out that somebody's bald,

they're like, oh shit. It's just so different. Right. They immediately know, they immediately know that it don't hit. Like, right,

that's what people, and they don't know not to just openly laugh at it. They're like, take your hat off. He's bald. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

Dude, fucking you, you and my goddamn wife all the time are just like, oh, nobody cares, Corey, nobody cares.

You're the only one that cares. People don't inherently think bald people or blah blah blah blah but milanie's got a bit about it some other people have a bit about it's like fucking kids man they all they they know like with no fat on it how to get to the core of the thing that you're the most upset about but also it also they've never it's not like they've been conditioned you know what i'm saying they just fucking know that this don't hit they just know in their heart even thing like i got a puzzle cut uh uh even uh

Even when I'm skinny, when I was little, my mom called me Ethiopian child. My belly just ran this weird looking. He used to pat my belly and laugh. Maddox, my niece, when she was like four, would poke it and laugh and say your fat. And even when I'm skinny, it's bound six out. And they know that that specifically is weird. To be skinny, but have that. And her half-brother said it looked like a bowl of cereal one time.

But dope. But like, those things are like things that's like, that's different from regular humans, which they are aware of or whatever. Do you know what I mean? So you could see how they're like, oh, that's different and thus noteworthy and also funny to me. But it goes beyond that.

They just have this six cents for saying shit like that. My own son, after we did one of our computer shows, one of our Zoom shows, which we did with Rush Ticks. The good people at Rush Ticks sent me a little gift bag or whatever, and it had a note in it, it had a card in it that was just like,

something like, like thanks tray yada yada you are such a pro and it came in this big box and the kid the kids saw they're like what's in that box open and they were like what's that card and i read the card right and it was like yeah yeah they said thanks thanks to me daddy thanks daddy you're such a pro right and my sons love video games and they watch youtube and stuff and to them pro there's pros and there's nobs right in the video game world there's pros and there's nobs and that's the terminology they know. So I said, you are such a

pro. And fucking Benton, when I read that, he goes, you're not a pro. And I said, yeah, there you go. Thank you, Corey. That's essentially what Benton was saying. He goes, you're not a pro. And I said, no, honey, they're not talking about video games. I was like, they're talking about comedy.

They're talking about hilarious. Corey just had that preloaded to say, I love wainers. It was when I was testing out stream you on hard. That's so funny. God damn it.

But I could have win a couple different ways. But anyway, anyway, he was like, you're not a pro. And I said, no,

they're not talking about video games, buddy. They're talking about comedy. And in the world of comedy, I am a pro, right? And he has no way of knowing.

But I was like, in the world of comedy, I am a pro. And he goes, I swear to God, he goes, ah, you're like maybe half a pro.

That's just like, True. It's so true. It's funny and true. But it's like, how in God's name could he possibly know that? But they just have a six sense for that. Like that Malaney bit is so true. Yeah.

They know exactly the thing to cut to your core. The only way. There's no way for them to know it. Yeah. The only way that could be better is if he was just like, Daddy, I bet you were just stricken with imposter syndrome no matter where you go. I'm like, yes, you're right, my child.

Jesus Christ. Man, you're right. Maddox, the eight-year-old, she's like, she's got a real, and she's real snappy, and she's and I was mocking her. Somebody that's related to you? Yeah, she was asking me to do something, and I started mocking her. I was like, yeah, meow, meow, ma'am. And she goes, good one, funny, man.

I bet you get paid a lot, but, like, sarcastically, and I was like, damn. Yeah, dude, they're brutal. Oh, this happened with kids today. I'm taking shit in the National Park bathroom, and I'm just sitting there on my phone, and I didn't hear anything. I didn't hear anyone come in. Suddenly, a child blood-curdling scream. And you know those bathrooms like echo, it's all tile and blah. I mean

like fucking loud. And those are murder bathrooms. Yes, I jumped. But then it keeps going. Like this scream lasted like six seconds. Three seconds. I mean, it's hurting my fucking ears. Three seconds in, I go, fuck! And then I hear a little kid go, Mommy, the man said a bad word. He's coming and screamed.

Was it the same kid that was screaming? Like he stopped screaming to tell on you? That's hilarious. Why was he screaming? Did you find out? I mean, they screamed for no reason. But yeah. That's what she was like,

you're not even the right damn bathroom. Come in here while I changed. So I think he was fine. That's so funny. That reminds me of this story that I don't know if we've told on here or not. It's not obviously exactly the same thing, but it involves you doing the same thing, which is we were.

we're on tour in the great state of Florida. My mama was there. Your mama was there. I'm going to let you tell it, but you've told it like four times, but I'm going to let's tell it. Really? No, he's on the show. No, he's told it on here. I think, look, I love this story.

Either way. There's plenty of people in Florida. It's a Sunday. It's brunch time. It's time for it. We're in the window. It's time for us to eat something. We got shows later that night.

Corey's mama's chauffeering us around and whatnot. And we're in Orlando. It was Florida during. brunch so someone had just said her name three times and she just appeared yeah yeah and it's you know uh everything's a mall right so we went into this very florida mall type location fucking uh what's it bahama mama or something something like that bahama mamas or some shit we walk in there we walk in there and it's very brunchy a bunch of white people sitting around having their remoses and stuff and they've got live music and it's a very nice young black man playing an acoustic guitar and playing covers right

like yacht rocky type situation and we walk through the front door and he's in the middle of blackbird by the Beatles right and we walked through the door and he's going blackbird singing the dead of night and Drew goes god damn it fucking just broken wings and learn to find i thought i said jesus fucking Christ What you might have. Jesus fucking Christ. And we are right. But we are six feet away from this guy.

The stage is right by the front door. We're right beside him. And he's like Blackbird singing in the dead of night. And Jesus fucking Christ. And he's like still singing while side-dying. Don't ask why. Like looking over like, what the fuck? And also all the white people with their mimoses were, you know,

if I could, like, immediately, like, everyone could hear it, is what I'm saying. And it's such a funny, like, that's such a funny thing to do in response to that song. It's scream Jesus fucking Christ. Drew, Drew has changed his name to. I was right. It wasn't in reaction to that song. The story hit for me. It was just so fucking funny.

Well, it wasn't in reaction to the song. It was an accidental reaction to that whole scenario of. Yeah. We're not, you know, look, the three of us, he wouldn't even black. Y'all made that up. No, he was black. I swear to God. He was a black man with an acoustic guitar.

I know, it's just that with me, as it should be with all humans, it was irrelevant. But it's true. You're right. I know the thing. It did matter for the story. I don't know why. It just made it better. It makes it funnier.

We're not really brunch people. I mean, Corey probably has been or could be in a certain scenario. But like on the road. person for sure, dude. Like on the road, you know, it's like, Oh,

on the road. I know that people want to hear those songs while they eat eggs and drink mimosas, but we don't. Like, you know, like a shitty Florida cover band, I'm hungover,

you know, like I just, you know, it came out. No, me and Trey, it didn't hit for us either. We just thought maybe we shouldn't scream at the black man who was just

trying his best. Oh, he didn't hear me. Oh, absolutely. heard you. Everyone in that fucking place heard you. I promise you. Nah. No.

We heard y'all scream laugh at it, though. I bet. How would we have heard it though? We was in the whole back of the restaurant and we heard it. Y'all were right behind me. No, we were right beside us. All right. If we're telling on each other, I told this story recently. Oh, God damn it. No, it's not on it. We tell on you. You don't tell on us. It's not on it. Don't worry.

I edit this thing. DJ and I spent the weekend in Grace in Kentucky, doing a fundraiser for a mutual aid fund out of Eastern Kentucky. It was very fulfilling. That's the word that I used, to raise money for a community in a community. It was fucking rad. We had a good time.

We can talk more about that if y'all want. But we went to the huddle house, and we had met these researchers. So we were a part of a whole event. And there were other performers there. One of the performers, he read from his book, His name's Robert Gipe.

He actually sold script to Disney. But he's in East Tennessee writer. And he read from one of his novels. Well, he had these researchers kind of following around and they were doing like restorative justice work. I promise I'm getting somewhere with this. These folks were from like Brooklyn, New York, and they're doing research and outreach on restorative justice in rural areas.

I didn't know this. Maybe y'all did. This is relatively new. Apparently rural America has now surpassed urban America in terms of percentage when it comes to people in jail. We're number one, baby. So these folks were there from Brooklyn, these do-go-boater, sweetheart, liberal, progressive people.

They see it, they get this outreach thing. We volunteered to hang out at. DJ and I both told our stories in terms of the law. Then we did our comedy show. They saw it. They got a huddle house. We spent all day with these people. And at one point, one of these sweet little Brooklyn research

hipster girls out of huddle house and Grayson looked over at me and DJ and just goes, you realize everyone in here is looking at y'all, right? Because we're just screaming at each other about how the fried chicken don't taste like fried chicken. We were stoned. It made no sense to nobody but us. They asked us about our cult.

We were telling them about it, screaming. You just got to eat fruit and fuck. So she got uncomfortable, and I said, DJ, ever tell you the story about Trey and Corey screaming about how Elvis dying on the toilet hit for them? because that's the most Elvis way to go out, shitting yourself to death, at a burger restaurant in Knoxville,

at one in the afternoon. I don't remember this at all. I remember it. We were with Rick. Andy was, Andy was with us, and Andy was getting upset. Andy's the only reason I noticed.

I'm so used to y'all, I wouldn't even notice. It's one afternoon they had a burger called the Elvis. It had peanut butter and banana on the burger. One of y'all ordered it. And then y'all started talking about how Elvis, You started talking about how much he hit, but then y'all were screaming about how him shitting himself to death was the most elblest way to die. And I swear to God, Corey was like, that's how I'm going to die.

I'm going to shit myself to death, baby. And Corey's, I know that's right with pills too. It'll be pills. It'll be pills. I think that's happened. And it's one in the afternoon. And I swear to God, I wouldn't know this. Andy goes, they're also like.

Andy goes, are they always like this? And I was like, yeah. Right beside us, I remember this story, right beside us, there was a dad with two young daughters that were like the age of my sons. And it's so funny because, like, thinking about that, it's like if I was in that, if I was in his shoes, I would be so fucking annoyed by these drunken dip shits doing this right beside us. But at the time, man, my kids weren't there. Me and Corey were hitting. These ain't my kids. That's how drunk dipships weren't.

Yeah, that's true. We're always the loudest table and pretty much any given restaurant. I remember another one. We were pretty sure it was somewhere in Seattle. And we were with our manager at the time, who is lovely Jewish woman. And we were talking about like, God, I don't even remember. But somehow it got brought up the idea of a racist cow. Right.

Somehow. And somehow. And somehow, the idea of a racist cow, and the cow's name was David Allen and Powell, right? So when David Allen and Cal got up, we started going, Jew. Jew. And we're just, we're doing, we're alternating between saying, gee, and dying, laughing. Like, and it's like one in the afternoon at this nice restaurant in Seattle. and she's just sitting there

just like, God damn it. Everyone in there's everyone in there can hear us saying, gee, and fucking we're just crushing ourselves. And yeah,

we do that type of shit. And no one has the context. No, they just hear us saying, and we're the easiest people to take out of context on planet Earth. But we just have no regard for that

whatsoever. But you know what, I do have regard for nicotine alternatives. That's right. Lucy nicotine is a company founded by Caltech scientists and former smokers looking for a better and cleaner nicotine alternative, finally, a tobacco alternative that does not suck. Research and developed for three years to be made for people and not patients. Lucy has created a nicotine gum with four milligrams of nicotine that comes in three different

flavors, winter green, cinnamon, and pomegranate, all of which head. If you're not into those, though, Lucy has a lozange, also with four milligrams. of nicotine that comes in cherry ice flavor. Who doesn't like cherry ice flavor? Come on now. Each and every flavor tastes great. It's convenient and discrete products can be enjoyed anywhere on flights at work on the go or even in the gym.

I always note that this is my favorite thing about Lucy because, you know, as somebody started smoking at 16, they won't let you smoke anywhere anymore. Then vaping came out. And I was like, oh, shit, I can get my fix in public again. Now, I can vape on planes. Why not? It ain't smoking. No, they shut that down real quick.

the people that outlawed the hits. They wasn't having none of that, but they cannot stop you from chewing Lucy. God damn it, no matter how much they might want to. And that's one of the reasons Lucy hits so hard. It's 2021, y'all, get rid of your cigarettes, get rid of the vape, throw out your dip, get some Lucy nicotine gum or lozenges. It is the real deal.

And I will also be honest, though. They sent me a lot of food, but I was only able to eat two of them because my wife had a couple of cervases and pounded, went to freshly pound town in her mind and ate all of them. So I know they were good. So yeah, get you some freshly, get you some Lucy and try Caliper. We appreciate all our sponsors here at the well-red show. What the fuck were we talking about?

Hey, I just saw Space Jam. Oh, yeah, the new one. How was it? I mean, let me preface this by saying. A, I'm a huge toddler. B, I went into it with the mindset of this is a child's movie. It really hit for me. I enjoyed the shit out of it.

Like, I really did. Like, all those crazy, you know, I'm sure that you saw some of those crazy clips that people were sharing from it of just like how wild it was. And, you know, how much like WB product placement or, you know, like IP they threw in there. And like, yeah, isolated, those clips are insane. but like they made sense when you see the movie. You know what I'm saying? But it was very similar to Ready Player 1 in the sense of like just every two seconds, you were getting those like nostalgia feels of like some classic character showing up.

But it, I enjoyed it. A bigger LeBron fan, I could not be. A bigger Bugs Bunny fan, my God, I could not be. I've always cited Bugs Bunny as like one of my three. like comedic inspirations like usually when people ask me it's like jerry simfeld melbrooks bugs bunny like that's my three days so i really really enjoy it and uh i would suggest i think your boys would love it yeah well i'll be honest with you i haven't watched it with them yet and the reason for that is because it's we've talked about this before i think with things where like i'm

worried yeah it won't hit for them which will upset me and make me feel bad as a parent getting upset over them not liking a movie. Right, yeah. It's just like, when you like fucking recommend something to your friends or whatever, you got to check this out. You got to check out this album or this movie or whatever. And first of all, when they just won't do it, you keep checking in. Like, if you check this out yet and they just won't.

And it sucks on both ends. It sucks to be on the other end of that where you're like, damn, man, I got my whole life going on. I got a million things on my list. Why are you putting this homework on me? but also if you're on the other end of it, you're like, this is amazing and I know they'll love it.

And they just won't watch it. You're like, what the fuck? Do I not hit for you? What the fuck is going on? And then the worst is if they do watch it, they're like, yeah,

you know, or listen to it. And they're like, yeah, I didn't really, I didn't really see it. I didn't really get it. Then you're like,

I don't know you at all. And it fucking upset you. Corey. Like, that's a whole thing. But dude, doing that with your children is like another level. level of that. Do you know what I mean?

It's like, I don't know what you mean because I'm not a parent. But sometimes, sometimes. And I'll never be one. Sometimes I will avoid watching or sharing things with them because I'm worried that it won't hit for them because I know

I will get upset by that and then I'll get upset at myself for being upset. And it's a whole thing. And so that's where I've been with Space Jam because, dude, part this is my fault part of this but like uh they don't dude this is a goddamn shame in my opinion but they don't they don't know they barely know about bugs bunny man they don't know about the looney yeah my i got eight nine year old sons and like they've grown up pretty much without

well this is gonna say on their properties the looney tunes they don't they just don't know about this and also they're not into sports either so like well this is very much going to sound like, because I started this off by saying that Space Jam hit for me, and this is very much going to sound like, I'm just low-key shilling Warner Brothers, but like, I know you got HBO Max. They got a whole Looney Tunes.

I know, and they've, they've, like, rebooted all the Looney Tunes. I've heard they're good. They have, but I meant to show. What I was the thing? Here's the thing with Looney Tunes, though, that I maintain, it is why I think give it a shot, because all the Looney Tunes shit that I watched

when I was a kid and hit super hard for me was all from the 40s and 50s. Like it was the shit. My dad watched when he was a kid. So it's not like, oh, well, you got, like, it shouldn't have, I should have at that point been like, all this shit. Some things are just classic

and just are good. And like, dude, I watched the barber of Seville the other day. And like, I mean, again, like I loved it when I was a kid, but like, Bugs Bunny is just so goddamn good, man. Like, you know, there's some of them that I'm sure that they left off of the,

of the WB app, you know, all them, the war propaganda ones. Yeah, they're right for sure. Oh, boy, there are some race. And they're hilarious when you watch them in context. But like, yeah, my point is, is like, I don't know that your kids will be like, what is this old shit?

Because I didn't feel that way. And it's not like we didn't have new animation. You know what I mean? Yeah. No, I definitely want to watch it with them. I always been like a little sort of defensive about the first space jam, not just for nostalgic reasons, but people will talk about like how, you know, Michael Jordan, he's an athlete, not an actor.

Okay. And you're like, oh, he's a fucking terrible actor or whatever, but like, dude, actually think about what that process was like for Michael Jordan. Yeah. It is insane that he performed as well as he did in that movie. He was fucking, he was like, he was just standing in a gigantic green room. completely alone talking. That's a great point. Pennis balls on sticks and shit.

Right. And pretending they were Bugs Bunny. And he's not an actor. He has no training. He's never acted in his life. And when you consider all that shit, it's like, dude, he did pretty goddamn good in that movie as far as I'm concerned. I agree.

And I mean, I feel the same way about LeBron. Amber was like, Amber was like, I don't know about that. We went to see it with our nation. She's like, I don't know about this. I'm just. It's like Amber gets what she calls secondhand embarrassment a lot. Like she doesn't like watching going to watch stand up because she's like, Is that why when she comes and sees you?

She pulls her titty out. She has to get totally blacked out drunk and pulls her tits out because otherwise she'll be embarrassed. We all cope in different ways. You know, everybody's got over in this windy's drive. Oh, shoot. Keep the phone going over there in case somebody get shot. But she was like, I don't know. I'm just like, what if LeBron's no good?

And I go, well, babe, here's a deal. Like, it's not going to be a fucking DeCaprio performance, but, like, it's a kid's movie who gives a shit. Like, it'll be fine. And I told her, I was like, also, LeBron's been in movies. LeBron's been in L.A. He's been taking acting lessons.

Like, this will be fine. And we got through the movie and she was like, he did a really good job. And I was like, yeah. And I hadn't even thought about what all you just said. But, like, when you consider what you just said, because that's hell, even more so true. The thing is, I don't know if it's different now.

It may not be any. It may be exactly the same. I don't know, but I don't know how much the technology has advanced. I just know that when Jordan was doing it, it was like tennis balls on sticks and a green room and nothing else. It was, but like in Space Jam, Jordan had a pretty, there was a good amount of scenes that he had before he ever went to Toon World. Right.

You know, there was like one with LeBron, like one and a half scenes, and then he is either animated or he is LeBron talking to Buzz. in them the whole time. You know what I mean? He also, LeBron has toyed around with Hollywood shit. He's done acting stuff. He was in train wreck and what he's not like, like in my recollection anyway, Jordan was like, that's like the one thing he ever did.

Yeah, yeah. Because of commercials. Yeah. You're right. You're right. He did a fuck. You're right. But with both of these dudes, like it's like, oh my God, can you believe that Michael

Jordan and LeBron were able to add another thing they can kind of hit at to their You don't want to like, like, the thing is like, you know Michael Jordan absolutely took his fucking basketball dedication to that role. You know what I'm saying? Like, he didn't just have. He was just like, okay, if I got to be the, if I've got to be the best Looney Tune actor I can be. I'm going to, you know, have to be a monkey bear gorilla by. You damn, you damn right. But, but my point is, is like, the new, the new Space Jam was different animation, but it was wild.

It was fun as shit. And, hey, all the four-year-olds in the theater, two. thumbs straight up from them. You know what I mean? Well, that is. That's it. You just reminded me of that great Nikki Glazer joke where

she's done that russ and Peyton Manning's on the D-S and she says, Peyton, you're like an unbelievable actor for real. You're so good at commercials. You're like the Tom Brady of commercials. She opened that roast by going, Peyton, Manning is here. No, Peyton,

I'm just letting you know. I know you've been hitting the brain a lot. You're here. You're At a rose. Dude, she's, she's fucking one of the absolute best, especially in that scenario. Do you remember Julian G? Corey, oh yeah.

He had a bit about what y'all were talking about when your boy is like watching the show you've been hyping and the bit was funny because you're talking about it's the worst when it's like a slow episode. Yes. It's going to start soon because it's going to start soon because that's where I swear. And then by the end of it you're like,

nah, man, this is just show any. even that good. Well, Julian saved a woman's life on the tracks recently. Oh, word? Yeah, man.

Like, she failed, like she jumped, like she was going to end it? She failed. Oh. And one dude was jumped down on the tracks

to try and help her. Julian is a train conductor now. And apparently, apparently, like, they couldn't get a whole, like, it didn't get radioed to him.

He just was, like, alert and stop the train like three feet from him. I knew he was working for them because one time me and Amber were just walking around Forest Hills like we don't even know if he's doing shows or me and Herbert were just up there visiting and he just popped out of the F train stop and was just like what's up man? I was like what the fuck and because like you know in New York running into people is wild as hell especially in like you know a place like Forest Hills where it ain't like nobody like

nobody when you live like when you see somebody. When you see somebody, do you know, like in movies. He lives out there now. Okay. In movies and TV and stuff, like, you see, like in New York, people just be running into each other all the goddamn time. And I guess, like, in, like, if you both live in Chelsea and you both go to the same groceries.

But, like, that shit, that's a wild thing when you see somebody you know in New York or L.A. Like, that shit is fucking bananas. Yes, it sure is. Trey, I want to know, like, what all you keep them from your kid out of fear? Dentie Moore The only one The only thing

The only thing I can think of Off the top of my But I know that There's been multiple things That I've thought of This is a dumb bit kind of But how funny would it be

If that's the only reason He raised his kids liberal And moved him to California No No No it might not hit for them now They might have Fucking

Barbecue And Rebel flags It's too rapid for these kids. Well, it's funny because it's actually like that, but in reverse is mega true. Do you know what I mean? Like, I live in fear of them, like, being in high school and turning into

fucking Charlie Kirk ass motherfuckers. Do you know what I mean? Yes, Andy's wanting to have kids and I tell her that's the only thing I'm afraid of is teenagers because she's like, our lives are going to change. I'm like, I don't get a shit. I don't want to go out anymore, but a 14-year-old could get on pills or be a racist or both. Well, you know, they like kids like they the whole thing is they they're they're contrarian yeah what i mean and so it's

like dude no that shit scares the fuck out of me like i have my i am the way i am privileged white kids yeah who rebel against their fucking liberal ass daddy and end up being fucking young conservatives or something dude no i literally live in fear of that like that shit terrifies me your kids though man I don't think they will. You're, no, your kids are way to, won't eat Taco Bell at night. Yeah, yeah, like, your kids are way too goofy and creative and whimsical and loving and charming and

intelligent and empathetic. Oh, I didn't mean that. I didn't mean that as an insult at all. No, no, but no, dude, it's a whole thing with me. No, the older one, I mean it is like, the older one, the older one has been a vegetarian for moral reasons. bro literally since he was like four or five years old. Well, this is how they're rebelling.

It's because you're screaming at the TV when the balls will lose. Please understand though. I genuinely wasn't doing a bit like where I was just being like, your kids are soft-ass mother. I know, but they are, though. I know, but that wasn't what. No, I'm telling you, man, balancing this whole thing. I don't want them to turn into fucking Charlie Kirkass motherfuckers,

obviously like we're talking about. but at the same time, it's so funny how sometimes I'll look at them and I'll be like, fucking California. I never should have brought you. Yeah, they're going to have top nights and do yoga, bro. Right, yeah, because dude, they're like that, man. They are like that. That is better.

For sure, but I'll get. Don't get so much pussy or dick or both or whatever they're. Both at the same time in their mouth and their butts, wherever they want. My main thing is like, you've got to. be able to do i just like for me i i i think i'm actually very very very emotionally resilient and otherwise when it comes to fucking hardships and stuff because nothing hit for me as a child right of course i don't want to torture them as children i don't want to torture them as children just so that happens yeah but the inverse of that where i just look at them all like i'll get

mad at them sometimes where I'm like, they get, they get real upset about something. And I'll be like, and I'll just be like, this is fucking nothing. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I just want to grab them. I just want to grab them and be like, like, fucking, you have no idea what this fucking world is that whole paradox. Okay?

You do not understand. You, like this world will chew you up and spit you out and you got a fucking man up if you're going to fucking deal with it. Like that type. And Katie, you know, of course, Katie is just like, trade, Jesus Christ, calm down. and I'm like, they got to fucking know. They got to know this shit. It sounds like you might be providing that for them.

Yeah, for sure. Like, no, I don't. That has happened. That thing has happened, but it's not like a regular thing. But I'm saying I struggle with balancing that out where I'm like, I hear Katie. And I'm like, yeah, you're right. That was out of line. I did not need to do that.

But then there's another part of me that's like, no, God damn it. They do need to understand this. They need to understand this shit, you know, and it's a fucking whole thing. They do, but it's that whole thing where, like, every parent ever is just like, like, the cliche is like, you know, if your kids didn't have it better than you had it, then you failed as a parent. Like, all I want to do is make sure that my kids have a better life than I do. And then, but with the kids, it's like, God forbid, though, then they actually start having a better life. And the parents like, God fucking damn it. I saw this, I saw this meme on black Twitter that killed me.

that was like, it was something like, you know, it was like, parents, I want my kids to have a better life than I have. Parents, when their kids start to have a better life than they had, and it was like fucking Daniel Kalua from get out, making a fucking, what the fuck face, you know, like staring at them. Like, what the fuck is your problem? It's obviously, I don't know why I tried to translate a meme into podcast format. It's funny. It's very, very accurate, because that's how, that's how I am. And I translated it into podcast format so that I could. say it and then you did the meme

which that's really hit for me. I saw that same meme. So you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, that's why I brought up what I just said, but I translated it from meme form into podcast all the time. Yeah. Hey, did you know that Daniel Kalu is British? Yeah, I did. They all are. I know,

but they're all fucking British. I just found that out yesterday. No, I know dude. I found that I'm not saying just the, I'm not just saying the black ones. No, Southern ones in the Black ones. We can't have nothing. We can't have nothing in this goddamn country. Yeah, but no, I was, he was on an episode of Doctor Who I was watching yesterday, and I was like, wait, word.

And, yeah, yeah, he sure. I mean, again, that's totally fine. That's fine. It's fine. Things are fine. Well, see, okay, real quick, let's talk about it. I, like, it's such a huge thing now in Hollywood, where it's like a gay character's got to be played by a gay actor and that type of thing, right? But I remember,

dude, she's an awesome actor. She's great. I don't even remember her name without looking it up. Tremendous. She's a very awesome actor. And she's a black British woman. And she got nominated for a bunch of awards for playing Harriet Tubman.

Yeah. And a Harriet Tubman biopic. Yeah. And it's like, part of me is like they couldn't find an American black woman to do that. Somebody who's like way more directly. connect it. Like,

right. I don't know. On the one hand, I'm annoyed by that whole type of talk, so I don't want to be one of those people. But on the other hand, I'm like, if this is going to be such a whole thing. How far down the line do you go? Right. Yeah, exactly.

At what point do you draw the line? Like, there's plenty of fantastic black American actresses who I'm sure would have to have that role. I definitely. And it's like, but no one. Like, I don't know. I definitely think the argument is like, this is the only one that I could make for. it would be like, when it's, when it's like, hey, we don't want a straight person playing a gay person.

It's literally just because of representation. Like, you know, that, like, we so very rarely get to do this or like we've been underrepresented. And with the black thing, it's like, well, in general, black people have been underrepresented in Hollywood. So who gives a shit? As long as they're, as long as they're not. As long as they're not. Right. As long as they're not putting Mickey.

and blackface and making him Harriet Tubman. You know what I mean? Like that's at least this. But I do agree with you because like at a certain point like the only reason I agree with is because it gives them other motherfuckers like something to argue with of like, okay. So then I guess if Daniel Day Lewis, we should have just got somebody that already had their goddamn legs bashed up to

play, you know, what's his face and blah, blah, blah, blah. So I mean, that'd be my only thing. But see, dude, I think that movie you're talking about with Daniel Day, my left foot or whatever. Yeah.

I swear to God. God, I sound like such a fucking boomer right now, but I swear to God, I think if that movie was getting made right now, there would be people who would get upset about Daniel Day Lewis playing that. There probably were then, too. I don't think so. That movie came out. Dude, my left foot came out in like the fucking 90s or something. I don't think anybody gave a fuck back then. I think everybody always gave a fuck.

It's just there wasn't Twitter. I mean, that's how I feel. Like, people, you know, people always say like, oh, you know, God damn it, back when we were kids, we used. to say faggot all the time and nobody cared. The gay people didn't care. It's like, yes, they did. They absolutely cared. But just the other thing that just bothers me.

And we've talked about this before. And again, I just, I know how I sound whenever I bring this up. And we have talked about it before. But it's like, like that fucking, this never, ever, ever,

ever gets mentioned by anybody when the roles are poor white trash fucking hillbilly characters. Right. Ever. Ever. Ever. And we are very underrepresented.

In Australia, Australians or whatever the fuck. That goddamn movie that frankly, I refuse to watch because of this shit we're talking about, even though it's got a lot of people in it that really hit for me, the devil all the time or whatever. Yeah. That's a movie made up entirely of a cast of fucking like white trash redneck characters. Yeah. Every single person in that is foreign.

Everyone, they're not even American. And like no one, it, it, this never ever gets brought up in those scenarios. ever. I get when it's like one person, you know what I mean? Like what like like you know, look when it comes to a like a production company, they've got to make box office. So like if they have like one guy that like Daniel like Daniel Craig. A draw.

A draw. You got to have a draw. Yeah. But I'm with you in that like you can look at that and then go, okay, we've we've taken this person and made them representative of this group of people. let's at least get some fucking actual like Walton Goggins W. Earl Brown, let's get some actual Southern character.

But like, you know, I'm never going to be mad when like, you know, when Daniel Craig plays the Frank Underwood type shit and I'm like, it's box office, man. I'm not stupid. Like there's certain, like, yeah, there's, there's, Southern, like, oh, this guy's way more Southern. Why is he the lead in this?

Well, it's because nobody fucking knows who he is and they spent $10 million on this goddamn movie. That's why. I'm totally with you on that. I feel the same way. It's just like when the whole goddamn cast is made up of fucking foreigners. And you know, yeah. And it's like that just.

And you know there's plenty. Right. And especially when this whole other narrative is such a thing in Hollywood right now. Right. Drew, you've been arrested? It just doesn't get. I hope so. Are you standing guard right now?

I just pulled out, baby. Oh, okay. I was going to go to this Taco Bell drive-thru while I was on the phone with you. Oh, okay. No, you find. saw the flashing lights and it looked like you were walking around and I thought you were pulling a Drew thing where you were just like, I'm gonna go up and stand next

this cop and see if there's some fucking shit being talked. Well, no, I watched it for a while and they've got him at the car, but they're not in cuffs or anything. I don't know what's going on with them, but like... Were they white? Yeah. That's fine. There wasn't no bullshit going on. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Well... We can wrap it up before Drew goes to jail. Yeah, for sure. I do. I, for real, though, like, I saw that Drew's, uh, Mike was muted and I saw the lights and I was like, I think that me and Treyer sitting here bullshit and about representation in Hollywood and Drew is like literally

about to get beat with a stick. So I just want to check. I feel like Drew's been watching this arrest situation go down and he's been sitting there staring at it like hard as a rock. Yeah. Say something. Say something. Like some fucking bullshit's going on over there. I wish a motherfucker would. Yeah. Well, I did. He's been wishing a motherfucker would this whole

time. Yeah. I've been wishing a motherfucker would since 2006. But, uh, I did get out of my car and change, but I got out of my car in my underwear by those cops. So if you want to know if a white guy privilege is real, seven cops, I just got out of the car in my underwear. One of them looked at me and turned back around. Of course, you'll have that.
