Episode Date: September 1, 2021

This week Corey and Trae talk about just how god damn dumb the world is being re Horse medication, and then Drew Drew Dollars jumps in at the half way mark to talk some country music! This weeks sponsor is Freshly.com/WellRED (for 40 bucks off your first 2 meals!)

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

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

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

that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture,

including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different

language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app,

lovely little app where you could, you know, put your 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.

Wellredcom. com, W-E-L-R-E-D, comedy.com. And, hey, if you got friends in those cities, tell them, tell your mama, tell your grandma, tell everybody.

We'd love to see you out here on the road. So that's all my plug. Also, oh, my bad. Go ahead, Trey. Look, I'm fucking low. Also, you can go to patreon.com slash Trey Crowder if you want some extra Trey Crowder action in your life. If you don't, I totally get it.

But if you do, go there and check it out, doing some fun stuff over there, working on a review of Ted Cruz at present. Yeah. Gross. Yeah, it is gross. That's fucking gross. I mean, like, the way you're going to do it, it would hit for me to see. But this is.

Yeah, it's all talking about how gross he is and stuff, you know. I think people really don't understand, like, how much you suffer for your art. Mm-hmm. Because me and you do, like, a completely different thing. Like, we're both definitely in the same genre of comedians. A, Southern, first and foremost. B, funny. I would hope second and foremost.

But, C, like, obviously. we talk about political stuff from our point of view. But like, I've always said, like, you're a deep dive guy. I'm sort of a, I come in, I just kind of soar above for a while and go, that looks good. And then I just kind of maniacally beat that thing to death. But you, you're, I guess it's that you're smart and you're like attentive to details. You, like, when I watch some of your videos, I'm like, God damn, this motherfucker reads. You know what I'm saying?

So, like, people just don't get how much you suffer for them. Well, I'm fooling y'all then because like I feel the same way as you feel but with smart mark on like on skews. You know, like actually that's part of why I even started skews because I felt like I didn't. Right enough. I didn't know enough because like, you know, it's such an inside like I'm all for getting burned out and wanting to unplug and shit. I get that. But at the same time, it's like I just feel like the times we live in, you want to be sort of up on shit at least to a certain extent. And Mark, you know, smart Mark, he's all over it just in his regular life he is.

So that's part of why I even started that he educates me frequently. That's a little unfair to you, I think. Like, that's kind of like, that's like me working out my traps and being like, why don't they look like Goldbergs? You know what I mean? Like that motherfucker is just kind of, Mark's just kind of built different in that regard. I'm glad that you brought that up, actually. I want to talk about unplugging for a little bit because, like,

I have like frequently like I'm a, oh, I think that you'll agree with this. Like I'm a very bingey type person. Like when I'm doing something, like if I'm, if you have me doing something for you, you can definitely expect to get 100% of me. If I'm committed to doing it, I'm going to do it. And I will do it until I've fucking exercised everything out of that thing. And then once I'm done, I'm fucking done.

And I kind of have that relationship with social media, uh, where like I'll just be on a creative. Striek and I'll be making this video and that video and that tweet and this yada yada whatever the fuck and then I will like absolutely burn myself out and I'm like dude you need like I can't just have a regular day for every day for the rest of my life I have to go super hard in the paint for like 14 days and then I need a break but like I always go like oh man you can't really take a break nowadays because you'll miss so much and I thought no you know what dude what what could fucking happen in seven days that was really that big of a deal the fucking Didn't I text you like six days after this shit had happened like, hey, bro, did we fucking pull out of Afghanistan? Right. Or some shit. Like, dude, you really can like nowadays miss so much in just three days.

And I can't decide if like that's a good thing. Like it's like, hey, dude, like what were you going to do? You know, it's nice that you took that three day break. Or if it's like, hey, man, I don't know. As people who vote and are maybe affluent, maybe we have the responsibility. that we have to torture ourselves every single day and you have to keep up on that. Because I'll be honest with you,

like, I was pretty embarrassed to not know a lot of things that I definitely, like, things that I've made fun of my wife constantly for like, are you, how do you not know that? And it will blow my mind that she doesn't know something.

And I figured it out. It's just she doesn't have Twitter. You know what I mean? Like I don't, I don't know anything either when you take me off Twitter for eight fucking days. No, I think that,

like I said, I mean, I think getting burnt out and being like, fuck this. and just walking away for a little while for like your sanity or whatever is, is fine. But I do think that, you know, no disper. Amber marches to the beat of her own one-armed drummer, you know.

But like, so no disrespect there. But like I was saying, I just feel like, I do think you, just particularly nowadays, I just feel like you ought to be at least somewhat up to date on the shit that's going on just because it's also, you know, terrible and incessant. So like you Yeah.

Well, I mean, not to not to try to sound woke here because I'm really, I'm, I swear to God I'm not. But like, it's, in eight days,

I realized how easy it is for a white man to convince himself that everything's okay. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Like, like I had a great eight days.

Like I had not a fucking care in the world. because, like, that just show, my life is actually good. It's the other, it's the other bullshit going on that I need to be aware of. Because, like, it's just so easy to get yourself in that bubble. Now, granted, it's also easy when you're on Twitter nonstop, which can be a bit of an echo chamber, to kind of forget what the real fucking world is like. But that was the education that I got in literally just eight days,

which was like, damn, think about all the shit that you don't know right now just because you took. one application off of your phone and then think about the fact that so many people you grew up with, they just don't have that application and you think that they're just fucking heading the sand assholes.

And it's like, okay, they are a little bit, but like you're better than them just because you've got this fucking app on your phone that has the trending, you know, which senator butt fucked who on the side of it.

Like you're, like I'm better than them and I'm more, it's like I'm watching the fucking news. You know what I'm saying? I'm looking to see if you read it, we did something. I was about to say, like, you know, for a long time.

I think like, for a long time, obviously people didn't have Twitter, so you had to, but people like, you know, people used to watch the news and shit and not just old people. Like, but you, that was a thing you did. You had to watch the news. You had to watch the news. Or read the newspaper or both.

Like, ugh, imagine. You know, now, but that's all, and I feel like the people, the people that ain't fucking with Twitter or anything now, that you're talking about probably would have been the same people that, you know, didn't watch the news or read the paper or any of that type of shit. Do you know what I mean? I think it's just like the sources of information have shifted,

which is also problematic, depending on where you're getting it from. Because a lot of people are not unplugged. They are plugged in, but they're plugged into just, you know, lunacy. Dot TV all day long, just, you know, hearing, watching the news, but it's all just not at all true or anything. So that's a whole other story. But I think the dynamic you're talking about with people, just some people trying to keep up with shit and other people's not at all.

It's probably been, you know, long ago, long time. Yeah, for I'm trying to say. It's been that way for a long time. Yeah, for sure. I guess you're right. And I mean, and that's the thing is like, I know when TV, when cable news first came out, like when Ted Turner first invented the 24-hour news cycle of cable news and shit, But of course there were people who were just getting their shit from Walter Cronkite who looked at that the way that we look at getting our news from Twitter now.

Like I'm not stupid enough to not think that that's kind of true. But like, I don't know, man. Like, it's just kind of fuck me up in my brain. Like, I feel like a bad person. It ain't getting it from Twitter. It's like it's who you're getting it from on Twitter. Right, right, right. It's not like Twitter is its own thing.

Right, because Twitter could be whatever, you know, if you're following nothing but like the one of the American. American News Network type of people. That's all you follow on Twitter. Twitter going to be a very different thing for you than it is for, you know, you and I. So, but again, you used to couldn't even really do that. And it wasn't Ted Turner started CNN, but CNN was ostensibly just new, regular news just all the time. But then fucking Rupert Murdoch with Fox News is when it all really started kicking off

because that was the start of that whole choose-your-own adventure type thing that we got going on full force now. I don't care for it. I mean, neither. It does not hit. I agree. Yeah. I mean, I think I texted you, like, four days ago.

It was like, I'll tell you what, being in a bubble kind of hits. Because it was a goddamn, it was a peaceful week. But, hey, man, a lot of shit happened. So again, we, these are things that I needed to be caught up on. We left Afghanistan, and somehow that's bad. And people. if I'm not mistaken, or taking horse pills. They are, yeah.

Or some type of horse paste. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Horse pills is funnier to say. I mean, horse paste is also funny, but I just like saying that you're taking horse pills. That's like the funniest version of it to me. But yeah, livestock dewormer.

I actually knew about that before it became like a big store, like recently. I had heard something, but I thought it was very, very, like, fringe. So, me too. Because, like, so my mother. Which I thought about QAnon, too, for the record. I don't know. A member of Katie's family works at the co-op in Wayne County, right? And so Katie was telling me that people in Wayne County, and this was like, this wasn't like a, this was like, if Ivermectin has been like a relatively big story.

That's what I'm making. That's how you said. For like two weeks now. Or I don't know the timeline, but let's say it's been like two weeks now. This was like three, three and a half. half weeks ago. Katie was telling me that her relative who works at the co-op in Wayne County was saying that people were coming in getting these horse pills, getting Ivermectin or whatever, for COVID stuff. And I was like, what? And, you know, what else would you say? And she's like,

yeah, apparently they've somehow decided that this is going to be the thing. And like you said, I was like, when I first heard it, I was like, I don't know why I keep thinking things like this, but I thought, surely not. I don't know at what point I'm going to stop like underestimating the fucking stupidity of these people. Because it defies their logic. Right. Because it goes, with that type of insane person, usually COVID's just fake. Right.

And they're like, COVID's fake. They're just trying to make money on the vaccine. But then when they, in order to take the horse pills, they have to admit, oh, shit, something's wrong. Right. But I'm not going to go with. the thing that they say for me to take, I'm going to go with horse pills. Yeah, I know. I agree.

It's what's so weird about it. It's like you also shared in a text thread a Facebook post from a Chickamauga person. And that person was like, went on this whole tirade that was basically saying like, okay, so we all, we all recognize. And we're like, okay, so here's how the vaccine works. It might not, it might not keep you from spreading the disease, but it seems like it keeps you from getting as sick and or dying. You don't die from the disease if you take the vaccine. Now, think about the people who are dying from the disease, the unvaccinated.

I think about the political affiliations of people who are more inclined to be vaccinated, right? And he's like, so think about who's not getting vaccinated politically. And what better way to control a populace than to. And then it takes this wild-ass turn at the end. where he's like basically make a concoction that can mind control your subjugates. So you can mind control the liberals. That also keeps them alive, but kills off your opposition,

the conservatives or whatever. And, you know, tell me that don't all make sense. And it was just such a wild thing to me because it's like, you're opening with, look, obviously we know the vaccine keeps you from dying.

Right, right, right, right. It's a very self-aware, wolf slash like I ain't gonna lie they had me in the first two paragraphs it's like this could have been written by almost anyone on any side because it's just the truth it's just true it does just the truth you still can spread it it does keep you from getting as sick and also keep you from being as likely to die they are less likely to get it we are more likely to get it but it's like there's this whole thing like reading it as a same person you're like okay so why don't you get it then Just get it.

But it's because it's like you're acknowledging that it works. Right. That's why you can't get it. So you'd rather be dead than a liberal or whatever, I guess. Again, these are the same people who they think that the Democrats at large can pull off all that. But they couldn't get Hillary Clinton a, you can't be more Democratic elite than Hillary Clinton. And they couldn't get her to beat Donald Trump. So they're like, okay, plan B will cause a global pandemic.

And then we'll put microchips in the vaccine and we'll just kill all the Republicans. Yeah. That's it. That's what. Yeah. I mean, pretty good plan. It's just right. Yeah.

That they would ever have the competence to pull something like that off is asinine. But it also, I don't know. It is so weird that so that they will. acknowledge that it works. Right, right, right. And works. They won't hear for them. Right, yeah.

They're like, look, it'll keep you from dying. Sure. Sure, yeah. I ain't fucking with that. Yeah, like, and it's just. I mean, as far as a vaccine goes, I mean, I guess it's all right. But, you know. Yeah, I don't know, man.

And then the, and I'll also just like that like that, again, like you were saying, if you're going to get ivermectin, you're like, I've got this real disease. I need to treat it, but you're just, you're listening to Facebook. Right. Over every medical professional in the world pretty much, except for the like three crackpots that they'll put on Facebook. I was about to say, like, they've heard about this from some fucking person. Like somebody, like, like somebody that they deemed credible enough, like some sort of doctor, like some fucking Marianne Williamson type witch.

person has put this in their head. And I just don't, I just can't for the life of me understand why they're like, 99% of scientists and doctors say this, but it's definitely this fucking moron telling me to get worse pills. I don't, I just don't, I don't know,

man, I can't, because, because like, what, what, do you know what it is about the, what,

what is the thing? I don't either. I mean, about Ivermectin, like, why they, think it works? No, because it's like I said, it's a parat, anti-parasite thing, a parasitic or whatever you call it.

It's a deworm. It's a de-wormer, yeah. So it's for parasites. It's for various types of worms and stuff. And obviously COVID is a virus. So like there, I don't, so not that. Not that at all. There's, like, I have no idea. Like, why aren't they just fucking taking chemo? You know what I mean? Like what? I don't, I just. Yeah. It's also like, you know, they said, well, you don't, we don't know what's in that. vaccine. We don't know what it does to you or whatever. It's like, so I'm a drink from this bottle with a sheep on the front of it. You know what I mean? Right. So I'm just drink this sheep medicine instead, because I know I can trust that. Yeah. That was made for an animal. Yeah. It's insane. Is the

intervectin? Is it FDA approved? Like, does animal medicine have to be FDA approved? I think so. And yeah, Okay, so as I understand it, there is a human version, and it's for a parasite, like scabies and lice and stuff, human parasites. And that's all FDA approved. Matter of fact, the drug itself won like a Nobel Prize. Really? Because of how effective it is. But again, it's affected. Right.

Yeah, it's affecting. It's a very different thing. Advil also a fine drug. But it's a very, very legitimate drug for what it does. And as I understand, there is a human. version for like scabies and license stuff. But like I said, I heard about this first from people going to the co-op and like most people are not, because to get the human version, you have to get it prescribed.

And to get prescribed, you got to either go to some kind of shady online doctor or you've got a crackpot doctor or something. But if you've got the human version prescribed to you, I don't think it would really fuck you up or anything. But it's not going to help. It's not going to help COVID, but it's not going to fuck you up or anything. But a lot of these people have just been going to fucking the co-op or trying to. supply or whatever and getting the animal version and like as I understand it a drug is a drug but of course

the version for a horse is like regulated for an animal that's a thousand pounds right you know what I mean like the drug some of them really just need to be half yeah or less than half right the drug itself is the same but it's still there's still a huge difference in taking fucking the human version and the horse version you know like Like, and your smart Mark sent us in the group thread, those screenshots from like Ivermectin groups on Facebook and stuff where people are in there like, hey, so I took a few servings of this, whatever. And I've just been shitting myself. And then I shit myself at the fucking Walmart. You know, they're all pooping themselves.

Yeah. Like because and it thinks like, oh, diarrhea is a side effect. I read on Reddit, not sure if this is true, but taking it in those amounts, what. could be happening is they're like shedding their intestinal lining. Oh my God. So it's like they're really and they're all just in there like, is this normal? Like I'm going to, you know. And you know they're still coughing and shit too, still feverish or whatnot.

But now because they're pooping everywhere. Yeah, they just made it worse. And at no point are they like, maybe I should cut. Maybe it's the horse pills. Maybe I should cut out the horse pills. Right. And again. For the pooping, I mean.

You would just, you just would think that most of these people would do nothing. Like, that's the part that blows my mind. I get, like, I get, I get, I get doing nothing because you're like to say this my immune system. But if you're, but if you're like, fuck, fuck it. I don't care. It's a bunch of poor shit. And, and then that leads you to do nothing at all.

Just live your life as though it isn't real. I think you're still an idiot because it is a real problem. But I understand the logic of that. But yeah, but all these other people who clearly. are concerned about, you know, the disease itself. Yeah. But then make the hard right turn to fucking taking horse pills for it. I just, what do you even do with that?

I mean, it's one of them things where you don't, you just don't ever really think about it. You think, I mean, no matter, no matter how open-minded you try to be on either side, everybody still really in their mind thinks in blacks and whites a lot. but there's a lot of nuance to being a dumbass motherfucker. You know what I mean? Like every dumbass motherfucker isn't the exact same dumbass motherfucker.

There are like different shades because like, yeah, in my mind, I want to go, I don't get it. I thought these people didn't believe it was real. But it's like, no, I guess there are some people who believe it's real, but also think that the vaccine part's the bad part, not that it's fake. And then there's like a whole different group of people. Like, have you seen, I don't know if you've seen, well, no, where you're at, though, masks are required again. So, so this is a little, this is a little different thing. Because down here, first off, they were never really required. They were like, I think that some stores were required to say that they were required.

You know what I mean? Like, they had to have a sign out there, but they were not going to turn you away. But right now, we're living in a time here where, like, they're encouraged again, but they're definitely not required at anywhere. And I see people all the time in the grocery store. And I will say I'm pretty proud of Chickamauga at certain times of the day. It depends on when I go to the grocery store. But like, I went in the other day, like, everyone had a mask on.

I was like, damn, okay, look here. A lot of old people for the record, which I think old people have started to be like, look, man, God damn, it don't matter who I voted for. Ricky's dead. You know what I mean? That's what I was going to say, too. I feel like at this point, so many people, know someone. Yes, they do.

Everyone in Chickamauga does and they're full of shit if they say they don't. Right. Because like, you know, our buddy Snake died and like, everybody knows Snake. You know what I'm saying? And he was a younger dude. Like when I say younger, I mean, he was 55, but like, bro, that's way too fucking young. You can't just be, well, I mean, you know, he'd lived a life. Like, get the fuck out of here. But like, I still see, I see people that mask are no longer required at all, but they're wearing them, but they're still wearing them just like this. Like with their nose.

Their nose sticking out. Like I get when they were required, you just being like, I don't really want to wear this, so I'm going to wear it like this. But now you don't even have to be wearing it, but you're wearing it wrong. You know what I'm saying?

And I have to think that that person genuinely doesn't, they're genuinely so stupid that they think that's fine. Because otherwise they just wouldn't have it on. I agree with that assessment. And that's a new one. That's a very new one. wants type of stupid. Like, that's a, that's a stupid motherfucker that means well. And those people do exist, you know, like, I think we also think like anybody that's a rock, stupid, you know,

conspiracy dumbass just hates and hates and hates. But like, that person wearing a mask right now in Georgia when it's not required, in their mind is like, I care about myself and I care about others, but they're so fucking stupid that they're still breathing through their nose. So, like, I just can't make heads or tails of it, man. Like, I don't know what to fucking do. Like, like, this whole thing like more like honest to god in my opinion almost more than Trump this has like really put us under a microscope yeah and like because because this one is not even like a well it is a Republican or Democrat thing but it shouldn't be but it shouldn't be right whereas like the Trump thing is like literally he is a Republican right that a lot of that is

because it all got started when Trump was still in office and he like yeah you know, he couldn't have handled it more poorly and everything. And it got, and it was, the election was going on while this was happening. And he was like making fun of Biden for wearing a mask and all that. And it just like, it got politicized, you know, and now. But I agree with you, though, that it's like, it's, yeah, dude. And it's so, so many things about them are just so on the nose. I swear I'm starting to think we are in a simulation.

Dude, I'm telling you, man. The fact that it's horse medicine. Horse. Oh, it's so funny. You know, I mean, it could have been anything. Other thing that also isn't effective against COVID, but it's just like, you know, it's for a foot rash or something. Yeah, it had to be horse. And you would be like, what the fuck are they doing?

Come on, man. But it wouldn't be that egregious. But the fact that it's fucking for farm animals, like it almost makes me think that wherever it did originate was like some trolls. Yeah. Fucking with them. Somebody that. I bet we can get them to take horse pills, what are you thinking? Yeah.

I bet you anything that we can fucking get all these people who just read Animal Farm in 1984 for the first goddamn time. I bet we can get them to take medicine intended for livestock while espousing the views of if you take the vaccine, you're a sheet. Dude, I know, I know, dude. But you know what's fucking crazy? It's like, again, how everything's so nuanced. I've got a buddy who just now got the vaccine. He could have got it along. Could have got it when I got it.

He just now got the vaccine. But the reason that he waited is because the vaccine was like pushed first by Trump. And he didn't trust that shit. You know what I'm saying? So like it just kind of went like he was like, he was like, look, man, I've stayed in my house. I believe in all that stuff. I'm going to get it now. You know, it's approved or whatever.

But like, I'll be honest with you. like when you know when Trump was coming out talking about oh I'm gonna I'm gonna rush these vaccines I was like I don't like this motherfucker I don't know about that shit and I was like this god damn like what a fucking whirlwind of different options to be stupid that we all have right and I don't want to sit here and just be like I got my vaccine four months ago clearly I'm the smartest person in the world like I it's you know I definitely early on in the pandemic would have a couple beers and be a little bit loose with the whole shelter in place that thing. I'm not going to act like I fucking was and I haven't been the best. But like, it's just like, again, this goes back to me talking about like living off the, off the grid. That just means I didn't have Twitter or Instagram for eight days. But like, I started like actually having to look to other sources for things and having these conversations. I'm like, oh my God, I've really had my head up my ass like for so long thinking that every single person has the exact same information that I have. And that's just fucking not true. You know what I'm?

saying like that's just not at all fucking truth like dude oh my god i didn't tell you this how fucking humbled i got the other day you're gonna love this you got a buddies you're gonna fucking love this i mean preface this by saying me and this dude when we were tight we were you know we were pretty tight you know he's my he's my buddy erin's cousin i haven't seen him in like probably three and a half four years maybe uh because he got married and then we started touring and shit hell it might have been five years ago that i hadn't seen him actually it was. It was at a funeral. And anyways, we were watching the fight the other night. And he came over and I was like, holy shit. Vitamin D. That's what always called him. And I was like, vitamin D. What's going on? He was like, holy shit, dude. Why? I hadn't seen you in so long. I was like, yeah, man. So we were just like catching up. And he goes, so we've been up. And he goes, oh, man, you know how it is? Just burning the roads up. He's like, you know, just burning the roads up. I go, you know how it is? And he goes, oh, man, you know how it? We mean burning the roads up. I go, you know, just being gone all the time. He's like, he goes, why are you doing stand up? And he goes, oh, man, you still. You still doing that. But it was in that moment that, like, in my mind, I was like, how the fuck could he not know?

Like, this is a guy from close to my hometown. How could he not know what I have going on? Here's the answer. He's not on fucking social media. You know what I'm saying? That's why. And in my brain, it's just like, oh, yeah, I'm huge on. Why wouldn't you know? It's like, well, I've got three kids and I don't fuck with Twitter. He now again, once I brought him up to speed on how much I hit, he was like, that does hit. But dude, I haven't for so long heard. Oh, are you still doing that and I was just like oh my god but again that was a moment where I realized like oh my god the internet which is where we all live now is still not really a real place does he live in Chickamauga no he like neighboring city okay yeah because I would like

he's not we didn't grow up together okay all right yeah I met him late in life he's my he's a dude that I grew up with cousin you know what I'm saying yeah yeah because I was just like knowing how Salina is Twitter aside. Just Salina was one of those places that like, you know, like pretty much any small town, I think,

but like everybody knew everything about everybody else all the goddamn time anyway, way before social media. And I'm sure social media. Yeah, I'm sure like pre-Facebook and shit. There was this website. I'm sure it still exists,

but it was called like Topics with an X. Oh yeah, X. Yeah, I remember Topics.com. Yeah, when I got a DUI, it's all over topics.

Right, exactly. And that was huge. huge in Salina. I'm saying Salina. When I got a DUI at 16 when I was very stupid and I would never do that again, just throwing that out there. Topics like Salina

was on the damn vanguard of talking shit about people you know on the internet. You know what I mean? Because they were finding ways to do it before Facebook and all that shit even came out because it was just a huge thing culturally in Salina and I'm assuming still is. So

like I would very, very much assume that anyone in Salina knows the deal with me and probably is not a big fan of it. Yeah, Chikamaga. Chickamauga proper. That's probably, that's probably the deal.

Not yet. Didn't say shit. Well, we didn't know. We honestly thought you might just jump in at any time. Yeah. So we were just like, when we started, I thought you might just be shown, which you kind of did, but 30 minutes then.

Yeah. So, I just looked at the reason I jumped on is I am going to Bonarroo either tomorrow or the next day, depending on how quickly I recover. And I didn't want people to see me. I didn't want people to see me like spaced out eyes as big as dinner plates, you know,

Like, oh, yeah, right. I hear you. I'm at work, technically. Hey, that's my niece. Hey, hey, what's up? Is that your knees? Yeah. She painted my fingernails.

Yeah, so if you see Drew at Bonneroo tomorrow, he will have the flu. Yeah. Nah, I just started late Saturday night. No, man, I thought it was COVID. Like, I definitely thought it was COVID. Well, of course. Because by Sunday, I was achy. And then I started coughing.

yesterday and sweating like I had a, you know, like cold hot, cold hot, then sweating. And I was like, here we go. Dude, I've thought it every time I've been hung over. Like when I went four months sober, I swear a lot of it had to do with like at the beginning all this shit. We were all drinking a lot because everybody was just at the house getting hammered. Every single hangover, I was just like, I got COVID. I just got sick of doing that.

But now I'm Vax. I feel a lot better about it. but like, my hangover is now officially last two days, like no matter the amount of drunk. Like used to, no matter how old I was, you could definitely get so drunk that you had a two day hangover. But now, like,

that's just the base for me is it's two days. And now on the second day, it's more of a lethargic kind of I can't move shit. And I'm just like, well, I got fucking COVID. So, yeah,

I feel you. I definitely, if I've sneezed or anything, I'm just like, it's definitely COVID. Is Drew frozen on your screen? I think he's, his phone got the flu too.

It's funny because he, I don't know what you see, but he's making a hell of a face. Is it this? Yeah, it's wild looking. There he is. There he is. The time I'm the internet got the Bluetooth. That's what I said. That's what made that.

Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. That's all right. Man, the other reason I wanted to jump on here, because I don't know. Well, what you all about? Never mind. Sorry.

We talked about. We were, we were at the brinkin. and yeah we are we were we were at the break we talked about our lovely sponsors and then and then you came on we figured we'd change the subject when you came in hot with some flu talk well i mean i were making the flu talk they're definitely in the same vein unfortunately in this country right now man i've been thinking a lot about it because like you know i went down there to get it and those nurses i was like i'm here for a covid shot and the lady or a test and the lady was like okay no mask on the nurse the doctor yeah well the reception

But like, that's, and I was thinking about it, man, you went, people went from like, this is a hoax to, I'm gonna take horse paste. Like, they believe in it now, but it, it, like, I don't know, it feels like climate changing way. We're like, I don't think some of these folks are capable of accepting what's happening is why they deny it. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yes, with kind of what we were talking about, we were like, I told Trey, I said, this is like, and I can't believe I'm, I'm, I'm sorry. saying this, especially so soon after, but I was like, more than Trump, I think this whole deal has really put a microscope on everything and made us understand really the division

that we have. And Trey made the point of like, right, because this is a, this shouldn't be political. Like the whole Trump thing, at least, like it was Democrat versus Republican, but this right here, it's like, it's like, no one can just be like, okay, fuck it. It's, it's medicine and diseases don't, or bipartisan. So who gives a shit? Like, I don't remember any of this during, I don't remember any of this during SARS. And here's probably why. During SARS, we had a team in place that handled shit like this. And it was fucking gone real quick.

And those are the people that Trump took out. So maybe that's fucking why. But like, yeah, dude, it's weird. I've seen that during a few pandemics. I don't remember which ones. I think even smallpox, there were like smallpox deniers. Yeah. The head of the smallpox, you know.

know denying club whatever that is i don't remember his name or the name of the group died of smallpox thank god so that almost like made me feel better because it's like this isn't just a product of the internet it's just that the internet allows us to see it and has made it more prevalent you know it's not in other words it's not unique to our time everyone i think human beings are incapable of facing something this scary so their brain creates a reason to latch on to that it's not that bad. Well, I'm willing, I'm willing to be wrong. I just don't think I am.

And I've had to have this conversation so many times because, A, I grew up religious and around a bunch of old people. And you know, Drew, as well as I do, old religious people are constantly saying, we're living in the end times. These are the worst times we've ever lived. Like, in a preacher. Well, they all do. Like, I remember when I was a kid and Disney had gay pride day, it was like, we're living

in the end times. the earth's about to open up, we're all going to fall into hell. They were saying it in the 60s. That's just the move, you know. But like, I've had, so I've had this conversation a lot, especially now. They're like, look around the world, all these.

It's what's, but I, but my thing is, like, with so much of it, it's like, are, is this worse, or do you now just see everything? Because, and I'll say this, I just took eight days off of social media. And if I've just lived my life completely how I did for the past eight days, I would not at all think that,

we were living in bad times. And like all these old people now get Facebook and they're just on Facebook all the goddamn time. And I was talking to this mamma on one time and I was like, so you don't think if you had Facebook in the 50s and 60s during all the Malcolm X and shit like that, you don't think it would be lit up and you would be thinking these were terrible times. Like, y'all just didn't know everything. And when you know everything, you think it's the worst.

Well, people definitely were saying wild stuff back then. But maybe I'm like kind of on the other side of this one a little because. I know what you're saying and you're right. But, like, I've been, so I've been working on a bit about how my dad and I feel the exact same way about the world right now, just coming at it from totally opposite directions. Yeah, yeah. And so maybe that's why my brain's been thinking this way, but like with fires, global warming. Okay, that, yes. Hurricane Katrina, the pandemic.

Like, it's the book of the revelation out there. Okay. I'm a part of me's waiting on, you know, the four horsemen to come down and just take me out, you know. I will admit that, yes. What if the four horsemen bring their own mecton? Yeah, the four horsemen are screwed because we took all their horses' pills. But, like, yes, okay, climate change and all that shit. Like, undeniably, that stuff's getting worse.

But that's because humans have always been shitty. You know what I'm saying? Like, human beings have stayed the same bad. And because of that, now we're having to pay for it with the climate and shit. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of folks who point out that, right? in the book of the revelation ain't hard because all you're saying is one day this is going to end because we suck. It's just that somebody's going to have to be there for it. Really what this is, man, is what the nerds call religious trauma.

I let go of that stuff, quote unquote, but it's still deep down inside me. So part of me is still waiting on it all to happen, you know. Yeah, no, I mean, I got it. I got it big time. I think about that Bill Burbitt all the time when he does the curling thing where he's like, you just go, I'll let it go. And I don't go to church. I hate all that shit, but I still like so many, so much of my hair trigger responses are absolutely guided by that fucking preacher's voice in the back of my head or preacher's wife's voice in the back of my head.

Sorry, Trey, I know that you don't have anything on any of this. Well, to be clear, I don't, to be clear anybody, listen, no part of me thinks the book of the revelation is coming true. I guess when I'm expressing this, I wish seeing all this didn't make me think about it at all. Right, right, right, right. Right. Well, just think about like a Will Smith movie instead. there you go. Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, things don't hit, you know. No, things do not hit. I tell you what, I tell you what does, Dick, going to a music festival in the middle of the pandemic, I can't wait and not be anxious at all. Oh, my God, dude. That sounds like a nightmare. I mean, I've always been to stand at the back guy.

It's a very open situation there if you want it to be, or at least every year I've been. You know what I mean? You can back me up or tell me I'm full of shit on this. Other than going through the gates, you can pretty much avoid people. Yeah, if you hang in the back, yeah, for sure. And it's all outdoors and everything.

Yeah. Who's headlining, like, all the nights? Boo Fighters, Tyler the Creator, Lizzo. I'm going to forget some of them because I'm half delirious right now. Lizzo's going to be there? Yeah, I run the jewels. Hell yeah. Iswell's going to be there.

That new kid in the country, Zach Bryan, is going to be there. I think I didn't know some of this stuff. from YouTube like a year ago. No, the dude that says flying or crying or, um, and, uh, heading south. Yeah. Yeah. Corey left. Anyway, I'm gonna see him.

Corey disappeared or is that? Yeah, he does hit. I, uh, as I recall, I sent that to y'all from Reddit a while, uh, a long time ago. Oh, I thought Brian did. We listened to the album on the way to the next city right after that. I don't know what to do about Corey because he's the one that's recording this. That's my bad. That makes sense because I thought Brian sent it to me. I thought I sent it to y'all.

Yeah, no, he's got, I can't remember the lyric right now, but I really love that. I mean, both of those songs really, really hit for me. I know that album was called Deanna or something like that. It's named after his mama. Yeah. Do you know the story of Head and Sounds like Alan White wrote it? I know that I read an article that had all this in it back when this first, like, came out or whatever, but I don't remember.

He got to play a show opening for his hero, Tyler Childers. He got the call and then wrote that song about that, you know, that's what's happening to me in my life. And, uh, anyway, that hits for me. He's also like, he seems like a decent kid. Right. Hey, speaking of, uh, music and stuff like that, and this will, this is just by the nature of me talking about a thing that we're doing.

It is a plug. But, uh, while plugging, I just wanted to say. Hey, Drew, Bubba shot the podcast. I don't think we've ever had as good of feedback or good of reviews on any side podcast project that we've done. I mean, you know, we got some love on Tiger King, but that was a fucking flash in the pan. But, you know, it turns out people really, really love hearing about 90s country music. Yeah, man, it's been great. It's been fun.

I lost the intro. So I didn't bring my, I'm at home, and I didn't accidentally left my external hard drive. So Andy was trying to find all my files for me yesterday So maybe I do have the intro somewhere We just couldn't figure it out together Anyway, I'm saying I'll have to say I redid the intro yesterday While sick, not wanting to be alive

And it was still the most fun thing I've done in months Just redoing the intro I don't know if I heard it I feel like it was pretty good I was talking about OJ Simpson Chase And the car scene in Third Rock from the Sun I have not In a one moment that happened at the same time

in American history I had a friend of the show and also just friend of mine in real life. Thomas, who well-read superfan, shout out to Thomas, he messaged me and he said, dude, he goes, this, he goes, this 90s country podcast has given me life. He goes, I'm enjoying it so much. I've listened to all the episodes twice. He goes, also, it made me remember that I needed to go back and revisit the Boner Jam saga. He goes, so I revisited, I know, I just like, holy shit. He goes, so I revisited the Boner Jam saga, and I'll have you know that I've been drunk for two goddamn days listening to nothing but Nelly.

So thanks. Nelly going to be at Bonner, Ruth. A word? Yeah, and I'm trying to calm Bryson to come down just for that day, and I'm just close to getting it done. Dude, did you see that, did you see that Lovers and Friends festival that I shared the other day? Yeah. Yeah, that's what's up. Where is that?

Atlanta. No, it's a Vegas. All right. I know why you would think Atlanta, and I definitely did. I definitely did. Over some of the lineup. Everybody will know why. This is Boehner Jam.

Yeah, dude, this is Boner Jam Central. Headliners. Lauren Hill, Usher, ludicrous, Liljohn, TLC, Sierra, Nelly, Brandy, Monica, Neyo, Ashanti, Jarl, Timbolin. I haven't even scratched the goddamn surface of what's going on here. Trina.

Oh, yeah. Trina. Ying-Yang twins. the way, I'm very surprised. They're the small billing down here at the bottom. I figured they'd throw them up there. I guess they're like, look, man, if we put little John up here, everybody knows what time it is. They know the yin-yang twins are going to be coming through.

Two short, juvenile, fucking Fat Joe, Drew Hill, Mike Jones. Who? Mike Jones. Baby bashing pretty, pretty Ricky. Buddy, let me tell you something right now. Let me tell you something right now. This is, and I will plug it for him. It's Las Vegas.

It's May 14. is sold out, but they got tickets from May 15th, 2022 in Las Vegas. How? Everybody's been locked up for years. All right. Pretty Ricky's going to be there. Over under.

Babies conceived. I'm going to put it at 100. Yeah. And I say over. Over. Yeah. For sure. For sure.

Yeah. That sounds like a good goddamn time. That's the Bonner Jam Festival 2022 for sure. Yeah, we want to thank Lovers and Friends for sponsoring the well-red podcast. We work closely with them in a partnership and, you know, it's a good one.

Those artists that I just named were very important in my formative years. I will plug them for free on anything. They have certainly helped me out. Trey, you didn't comment much on when we were talking about in Bubba just now. I kind of want to hear your thoughts on it. I feel like what I love about it is it's nostalgia,

but it's like so, so healthy. Does that mean? Like a lot of nostalgia is kind of unhealthy because it's like old people sitting around wishing they could be racist. Or even two rungs down from that. It's just like looking back on how it used to be

and it's like, man, get your life together. But this feels like nostalgia in a good way. Yeah, no. I mean, it's really hitting for me and I'm glad it's hitting for people because it's just yeah, I mean, because I, you know, not going to get into all that shit

once again I've talked about plenty of it before but a whole lot of this period of my life where these songs were hitting for me nothing else in the world was. It was just these songs, yeah. Yeah, right. So like I feel like the fact that when I hear

these songs and talk about them it hits for me and doesn't take me to like any kind of dark. It doesn't remind me of like darker times or whatever. Like it does but it don't. Do you know what I'm saying? I feel like that means that anyone should have roughly the same experience. If you grew up listening to these songs and your childhood was awesome,

then of course it's going to hit for you. But even if it wasn't, the song still hit even during that, then, you know, it's going to be a positive experience. I think if you just, if you fucked with this music at all,

then you're going to appreciate. Yeah, the opposite experience were like, these songs remind me of a time when things hit even harder. Yeah, right. My life was just fucking way better when this shit was popping. eating sandwiches, drink the milk at your grimmie.

Yeah, I bet that hit watching the brave. Oh, my God, dude. Hell yeah. All that shit. I'd take all that shit. Yeah, you're right. Nostalgia is a dangerous drug. Well, that's where you can get to the weird part of it.

But I just feel like 90s country. Trey, you just made me pine. Because the hardest time of my life just coincided with me getting really into Ben Harbor, like in that goofy white boy way. I really was into it. There was a whole podcast about Ben Harper. I would die. That would be for eight people.

But I was one of them that heard the song, I want to burn one down and really thought that my mind had been opened to something that nobody else knew about. And I was the coolest motherfucker in the world. That song does go. It does go, but that was by far. Literally every other one was about being sad. Oh, yeah, that's definitely like, that's your,

that's almost everyone I know is Entree. Like, that's how they get, they find out about Ben Harper. and then they listen to other stuff and realize how sad they truly were. But yeah, that's always the first one you listen to. Just like with John Prime, the first one you hear is illegal smile. The first one I heard was ground on down for whatever reason. There's a YouTube video, Ben Harper and Instagram of Limeon in Montreal, where he does an extended the solo at the beginning of a song.

He just, you know, goes forever. That YouTube video, and I apologize for this word, this is the name of the song, there is a live King of Leon and one of the 10th at Bonnarie playing Tranny those are the two

YouTube videos where I go look at him and I go man it don't get no better than that I wish you could go back yeah did y'all fuck

was Citizen Cope oh yeah yeah these feelings won't go away I saw slaps dude that's one of the only songs that will make me want to jerk off

you know what I mean there's plenty of there's plenty of rap songs but it's because I'm watching the video while I'm listening to it. You know what I mean? But like, when I hear sideways, I'm like, well, I'm a little jerk off slow. You know what I mean?

Sideway by Citizen Cope, there's two versions of it. The Santana version. Yes. The Santana version. And I, I first started fucking with that song back in like the, it was still like illegal downloading from the internet phase. So it was just Citizen Cope sideways. It didn't say like featuring Santana or nothing.

And the only version I ever knew had those rad, guitar licks in it. Yeah. That are just such a huge part of the song. And then years later, you know, I went to revisit Citizen Cope and found that song on Spotify and it didn't have the guitar in it. And I was like, what the fuck is this bullshit? Yeah.

Right. And then I found the other version and found out that was Carlos Santana. Yeah. In that song. And it just like, it just all came together. Like, was he doing that? You know how he had his whole thing where people would come in. and sing while he was jamming.

He's not doing that. He also just taking existing songs from other people and just adding his ultra heads to him because that's a big part of, I think that's a pretty big part of what he does. We were talking about him in the green room. He's the DJ, right? Wasn't it the time of this? He's the DJ palette of rock and roll.

We talked about him on the podcast. I brought him up in the context of that album, the supernatural or whatever, yeah. But, yeah, he definitely does that where he goes in and like, it's like, hey, this song hits, but... You know it would head harder? Yeah. If you had made on it.

Yeah. Listen. You guys, you guys almost really blew my mind because for a second I got my song. The same thing happened to Maitre with the song... Hey, Mama. The son, a bullet in a target. Yeah.

Uh-huh. The first one I heard was with Rhym-Sayer. Is that his name? Who wrote Jesus Waltz? I don't know. I think it's rhyme sayer as his name. He's got this rap about being, you know, it's like what you've done has got yourself

between a bullet or a target. It's like being between a rock and a hard place. He's got a whole verse about going to war because you needed a scholarship. And the first time I heard that, I was like, ooh, it's all my boys, you know. And then I found that later that was the remix and I was just this crushed.

For two seconds, I thought it was the same song and I thought there were three versions, right? let me let me let you in on a little something i don't know if y'all saw me in the middle of y'all's discussion just start laughing yeah i was trying to look up some see what ben harper was up to right now a couple things i forgot that he had uh they had married had been with laura durn had married her so that's what's up good for him i got kids hell yeah uh here's the thing that made me laugh at the bottom it says you know like on wikipedia it's like for every super hitting slavery there's like Anthropy. Like, here's what they do that's nice for everybody.

It says, Harper supports little kids rock, a national nonprofit organization that works to restore and revitalize music education in disadvantaged public high schools. I thought that shit said Harper supports little kid rock. And I thought that there was some sort of like novelty act like Josie and Kid Rock combined. And like, Ben Harper was, like, propping this act up. And, boy, son, thinking about like a three-foot kid rock about tore me out of my goddamn frame. Corey, don't make a talk about J.C. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I just wanted to let y'all know why I was laughing because, like. I bet they got that somewhere out there. For sure, dude. I mean, rule 43, right? And the county fair circuit or something. There's a little kid rock. There's a little kid rock out there.

I bet they got that at a kid rock show sometime. Yeah, probably. Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah. For sure, dude. Hey, I went and saw him in Scanner. It's still one of the 10 best concerts I've ever seen. He came out of the floor in a white suit playing a white piano on God knows why.

It was phenomenal. Dude, my buddies have gone. They've gone to see him like 10 fucking times. And I was going to go with him one time. And we were just on the road and shit. But my buddy was like, buddy, I'm telling you, man. He's like, don't you wrong. I'm a huge fan.

But like, even if he wasn't, he goes, buddy, they just fucking. This is a goddamn. great show. And I'm like, I mean, I can see it. Fucking fireworks and, you know, I've never heard anything else about his live show other than it's rare. And it's really, really rad. Having said that, I've seen some like clips that have gone viral

in recent years where apparently at his live shows now, sometimes he'll do a whole like Trump thing, political thing where it's like he's making like a political speech or plays like a political speech video or something like that and they eat that up. But like, that is not going to hit for me at a, you know, if he, if he,

if he, if he, If it's just kid rock, just playing the fucking hits, and I know how he is about everything, but that's all he's doing is kid rocking. You know, I'm all for it. But if he's, he's doing all that shit nowadays,

then I'm, I ain't really in. I'd have to go to that. For the record, I was about to say, for the record, I love Bruce Springsteen, but if I went to see Bruce and in the middle for 15 minutes,

he just did a stump speech, I'd be like, I respect your right to say this. And I probably agree with all of it. But like, Tom Joe, baby, let's fucking, you know,

I would never, I would never actually say shut up and sing, but I would certainly feel it in my heart in the moment. You know what I mean? Say that shit on Twitter, son. You know what I'm saying? Fucking rock right now. I will admit that when Kanye ranted at Bonaroo,

I would decide it because... That's close to a rap, though. It's not... Yeah, maybe, but it was more like this is part of why I came. I knew this meltdown was coming. Let's go. Right. Oh, y'all boo?

When's the last time? 80,000? We showed up in a field to see. you know, to boo do. So like, oh, yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, that's pretty rad. That's not at all what Kid Rock's doing. Well, it was 15 minutes long. It was 15 minutes long.

And I would argue that it is. When any artist starts doing that kind of thing, it's a meltdown. We already can't talk about mental health with regular people who have sad lives. We don't know how to address their problems. So if somebody hit that hard goes nuts, we truly don't know

what to do. So we're like, well, We make fun of them. We talk, you know, there's the whole thing where, um, what's his name? The Scottish late night guy, I apologize to Brittany. Greg Ferguson. Fred Ferguson. We don't know what to do when a crazy person goes crazy because we don't even know what to do when a regular person goes crazy.

For sure. For Kanye and Kid Rock had gone crazy. Yeah, it seems, uh, it seems that Kid Rock may have better people around him, uh, just because like, I mean, he's gone crazy. Don't get me wrong. I don't like what neither of them are saying. But like everything he's, said everything that Kid Rock says at least kind of sounds like there was some sort of like press letter he wrote out and it's something kind of straight with Kanye that motherfucker is liable to just be like they've got fucking cameras in my shoes you know what I mean like again everything Kid Rock saying is terrible too but like Kanye will just go completely off into Never Neverland where you're like motherfucker what like with Kid Rock I at least hear my neighbor say that same shit well that's why I was about said kid Rock's kid Rock's whole deal it seems like he's gonna run.

in a lab to pander to his crowd specifically. He's just going real far with it. Whereas with Kanye, it often feels like the exact opposite. Do you know what I mean? Yes. He's antagonizing. He's cussing people out. He's trying to lose his base.

His base, yeah, right. I agree with y'all. I think what's happening and I don't know when the guy got out last week. I think Kid Rock is in mourning over Josie. It's hard to lose the Rappendorf, but it just is. It's just hard to get through that. And Kanye has schizophrenia. So I agree with you guys that I'm comparing apples to oranges.

It's just that that fruit is in the same section. For sure. And you don't know with, I guess my thing is like when I look at Kid Rock, I think here's a guy who I could believe actually has it all together. And it's just like, hey, I see a grift and these are all my fans anyway. That's true.

But why not work them up into a favor? With Kanye, I genuine, if, if Kanye is doing, if everything Kanye has done, done has been on purpose thought out, then he's a, then he's still insane. You know what I mean? Like that, and in himself is more, is lunacy. But some of that had to be, like the, you know, the foray and the fashion and all that. Some of that, it's hard to separate with Kanye.

Like, he's been genius and crazy to all the time. It's that thin line. Kanye is just a dude that, like, that motherfucker has just been told too many times that his dumb ideas are good. Like, dude, like, some of his shoes... Yeah, on the titty table, and that didn't hit.

But, like, you know, some of his shoes bang, but like them fucking, like, foam, crock-looking motherfuckers, like, man, he should have had a buddy slapped the shit out of him and be like, Kanye, look, man, it can't all be 808s and heartbreakers dog.

Like, you got to step back, chill. Much like a lot of Corey's dreams. His mama died on the titty table. They died on the titty table. Well, that's it for us. Go to, go to Weldellie's.
